Attention, students, there are still four hours left. Tonight at midnight, that's right, at midnight, the Dragon Emperor Martial God Alliance will be giving out monthly red packets. Keep it as a guarantee, come and collect it!
… …
At around six in the morning, Ling Yun stopped practicing the Stellar Condensation Technique.
He opened his eyes and raised his head to look towards the east, sighing silently in his heart.
Beijing was much more prosperous than Qingshui City. The Ling Family's ancestral home was blocked by these tall buildings. When the sun rose, the sunlight couldn't reach it at all.
At the same time, because he was in Beijing, he couldn't fly to the rooftops to cultivate as he pleased like he did in Qingshui City. If he did that, the people in the surrounding buildings would think that he was a lunatic if they saw him.
This matter has to be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will affect my cultivation …
Ling Yun thought to himself. Once the battle with the Chen Family was over, he wouldn't be able to stay in the Ling Family anymore. He had to find a new place.
Now that transportation was developed, it didn't matter where he stayed as long as he had money. Cultivation was the priority.
This time, Ling Yun ended his cultivation one and a half hours earlier than usual because he realized that Ling Xiao had woken up. After cleaning the Ling Family's ancestral hall, Ling Xiao went to the training room in the eighth courtyard and started cultivating.
Ever since they met, Ling Yun hadn't gone to Ling Xiao's courtyard to avoid awkwardness. The father and son hadn't had a proper conversation.
Ling Xiao didn't call him over on purpose either. From this point, it could be seen that Ling Xiao and Ling Yun had a tacit understanding.
"What are you looking at? Stay here and cultivate until half past seven. Otherwise, don't even think about eating."
Ling Yun stood up and looked at Mo Wudao, who had opened his eyes after hearing the commotion.
Then, he left the Ghost God Willow and went straight to the training room in the eighth courtyard.
In the eighth courtyard of the Ling Family, there was a large independent courtyard that was separated by a wall. It was mainly used for the Ling Family to practice martial arts. The Ling Family members would usually come here to practice or spar with each other.
Of course, the Ling Family's men of sacrifice didn't cultivate here. Otherwise, the Ling Family wouldn't be able to live with so many people cultivating and shouting.
Ling Yun dashed into the training room and greeted Ling Xiao, "Father."
"Yun 'er is here?"
Ling Xiao seemed to have expected that Ling Yun would come over. He stopped his cultivation and stood up without any surprise.
Ever since the Divine Ghost Willow's transformation, Ling Xiao had not done anything other than paying respects to the ancestors, sweeping the tombs, and cleaning the Ling Family's ancestral hall. Every day, he cultivated in order to consolidate his strength and adapt to his new realm.
The pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Six. After a few days, he was more or less used to it, and there were signs of another breakthrough.
The reason why the Ling Family could improve so quickly was because of the Black Yellow Immortal Spiritual Energy. It was far superior to the Black Yellow True Qi that the Ling Family usually cultivated.
Lingyun stepped forward, scratched his head and said, "Father, I've been too busy these days, so I haven't had the time to visit you. Please don't blame me."
Ling Xiao smiled and patted Ling Yun's shoulder. "You don't have to say anymore. I understand what you want to say. It's fine."
This was the relationship between father and son, connected by blood and connected by heart. Although they had just met, there was no need for any superfluous words.
"Tell me, what business do you have with me today?"
Ling Xiao pressed on Ling Yun's shoulder and said with a smile.
This son of his had brought him too many surprises and pride. Ling Xiao was naturally happy to see Ling Yun.
"Father, you should be close to a breakthrough after these few days, right?" Ling Yun asked.
Ling Xiao nodded. "That's right. I could have broken through the day the Divine Ghost Willow changed, but I was afraid that my realm would be unstable, so I suppressed it and didn't try to break through immediately …"
"I estimate that I will be able to break through as soon as tonight, or as late as tomorrow."
If Ling Xiao broke through again, he would reach Xiantian Realm Level Seven and enter the advanced stages of the Xiantian Realm. He was looking forward to it now.
However, Ling Yun said, "Father, I'm here to remind you not to rush to break through for now."
Ling Xiao was surprised. "Oh? Why? "
"First of all, your old injuries have just healed. Your energy center and meridians have just returned to normal, so your foundation isn't stable enough.
"Also, with the help of the Divine Ghost Willow, you broke through from Houtian Realm Level Five to the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Six in one go. This improvement is too fast, and a few days of adaptation is far from enough.
"Even though breaking through isn't a problem, it could easily cause an unstable foundation and leave behind future problems. Also, when you break through to Xiantian Realm Level Nine in the future, there might be a false breakthrough."
Ling Yun spoke frankly and confidently, expressing his worries.
Ling Xiao nodded solemnly. Of course, he understood what Ling Yun meant, but he was anxious about the life-and-death battle between the Ling Family and the Chen Family.
Ling Xiao frowned. "But we're going to have a life-and-death battle with the Chen Family in a week. If I don't break through, wouldn't I be a burden to you …"
Ling Yun smiled. "So that's what you're worried about, Father. You don't have to worry about the life-and-death battle with the Chen Family. There will be two solo battles and one team battle. I alone will be enough."
Ling Yun had just mastered the Yin-Yang True Qi Chain last night, so he was full of confidence. He didn't care about the life-and-death battle with the Chen Family at all.
What he was worried about was that he would have to face the Long Family and Ye Family after wiping out the Chen Family and Sun Family. That would be the real battle of strength and foundation. That was why Ling Yun was helping the Ling Family to improve in various ways.
Ling Xiao was shocked, and he stuttered, "Son, you alone? Three battles in a row? "
Ling Yun nodded with a smile. "That's right, I alone will be enough to deal with them."
"Then, then what about us?" Ling Xiao asked worriedly.
Ling Yun chuckled. "You just have to guide me. When the Chen Family loses, just don't let them escape if they want to go back on their word."
Since ancient times, fighting had always been about tactics and goals. In a life-and-death battle like this, once one side really lost, they would definitely go back on their word. There wasn't even a need to ask.
Begging for mercy, escaping, or finding someone strong to suppress the Ling Family were all possibilities.
Ling Yun didn't believe that the Chen Family would obediently let the Ling Family do whatever they wanted after losing the life-and-death battle.
"Father, regarding the problem of breaking through to the next realm, I already have a plan in mind. There's no need to rush it. You just have to solidify your current realm. The stronger it is, the more advantageous it will be for you in the future."
Ling Yun finally revealed his motive. He didn't want Ling Xiao to rush to break through to the next realm now. He was afraid that there would be endless trouble in the future.
Seeing the anxious look on Ling Yun's face, Ling Xiao knew that his son was worried about him. Thus, he smiled. "Alright, since you say so, I'll listen to you. I'll just stabilize my realm and not attempt to break through."
Ling Yun finally relaxed. He smiled cheerfully. "Father, there are some combat techniques that I gave to Grandpa. If you have nothing to do these few days, why don't you take a look and find some suitable ones to cultivate?"
Before leaving Beijing previously, Ling Yun had specially taught Ling Lie many combat techniques in order to increase the combat power of the Ling Family.
Dragon Fish Phantom Ability, Tiangang Demon Fist, Vault of Heaven's Palm, Storm Diamond Kick, Raging Waves Internal Skill, Formless Sword Technique, Ninth Killing Technique, Heaven Destroyer Technique, Spirit Potency Art, Stellar Condensation Technique, and the secret technique, Dragon Elephant Divine Force!
Footwork, fist, palm, leg, internal strength, two sets of peerless sword techniques, one set of knife techniques, one set of Spirit Potency Art, one set of heaven-defying physical cultivation techniques, and a set of secret techniques that could multiply one's combat power!
Ling Xiao couldn't break through to the next realm now, but it wouldn't be a problem for him to cultivate these combat techniques.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao smiled. "Oh, your grandfather has already explained these techniques to me in detail. It's just that I've been thinking about raising my realm these few days and haven't started cultivating yet."
Hearing this, Ling Yun panicked. "How can that be? What's the use of having a realm if you can't fight? Father, you should listen to me. Cultivate your martial arts first before you raise your realm."
Not knowing how to fight, even if he raised his realm, he would only be at a disadvantage if he met an expert of the same realm.
Ling Yun's combat techniques were top-notch techniques that could allow him to kill people of a higher realm. Once he mastered them, the effects would be far more effective than raising his realm.
Seeing that Ling Yun was lecturing his father in a moment of desperation, Ling Xiao couldn't help but find it funny. He could only nod and say, "Alright, I'll listen to you. Father will cultivate those martial arts first before we talk about raising his realm."
Ling Yun finally finished talking about this matter. Then, he said in a low voice, "Father, I've tortured Si Kongtu in our family's dungeon enough. He's no longer of any value. He doesn't have long to live. What do you think we should do with him?"
As expected, Ling Xiao's expression changed instantly when he heard Si Kongtu's name. His brows furrowed tightly.
Ling Yun released his divine sense and enveloped Ling Xiao completely. He didn't dare to be careless because he knew that Si Kongtu was Ling Xiao's inner demon.
It was like that eighteen years ago. Eighteen years later, Ling Xiao was kidnapped and tortured by Si Kongtu again. Of course, it would be even worse.
This was what Ling Yun was truly worried about. It was also the reason why he stopped Ling Xiao from raising his realm.
If he didn't kill Si Kongtu, it would be difficult to get rid of Ling Xiao's inner demon. If he couldn't face the enemy, he naturally wouldn't be able to face himself. No matter how high Ling Xiao's realm was, it was just an illusion.
Si Kongtu had been locked up in the Ling Family's dungeon for the past few days, but Ling Xiao hadn't entered the dungeon. He wanted to prevent his emotions from fluctuating too much and causing his state of mind to become unstable, which would affect his cultivation.
That was why Ling Yun didn't kill Si Kongtu so that his father could get rid of the inner demon.
"Uh … Yun Er, our battle with the Chen Family is imminent. I don't want this person to affect my state of mind. I want to kill Si Kongtu for revenge after the battle."
Ling Yun sighed in his heart, but he didn't say much. The inner demon was in everyone's heart. No matter how powerful Ling Yun was, he wouldn't be able to help Ling Xiao.
"I'll listen to your arrangements, Father."
"Then I'll let him live for another ten days. When the matter with the Chen Family is over, we'll kill him for revenge!"
Ling Xiao was very smart. He could roughly guess Ling Yun's intentions. His eyes were filled with gratitude as he said, "Good child, I've made things difficult for you."
Ling Yun smiled. "It's not difficult at all."
As long as Ling Xiao could successfully get rid of the inner demon and let Si Kongtu live for a few more days, this matter was nothing to Ling Yun! (To be continued.)
