Even though Ling Yue had suggested it, Ling Yun didn't go with him to see the layout of the venue and the schedule of the banquet. That was because Dong Shanchuan, Li Junhua, and the rest were more experienced than him. They would definitely have taken care of everything before they let Ling Yue go and check it out. At the same time, they wanted him to understand the situation of the banquet the next day.
Also, to Ling Yun, no matter how grand the birthday banquet was, it was just a formality. No matter who it was, as long as they had money and power, they could have a grand birthday. That wasn't important. What was important was the essence.
Ling Yun had already gotten his hands on the fundamental benefits tonight.
He had easily crushed the Dragon and Leaf Families, and through this method, the Ling Family had regained everything they had lost. They had officially announced their return to being the number one family in Huaxia!
Many people in Huaxia would have a sleepless night. Anyone who was qualified to hear this news would reevaluate the strength and status of the Ling Family. Their future choices would also start to change.
Moreover, Ling Yun had a lot of things to do tonight.
Ling Yun first went to the sixth courtyard of the Ling Family's ancestral residence. He looked at the jade-green Divine Ghost Willow, the inheritance of the Ling Family.
At this moment, Ling Yong had already disappeared and left the Ling Family. He had followed Cui Lao out after he returned to report. Without a doubt, tonight was the most glorious and exhilarating night the Ling Family had experienced in the past few decades. Eventually, he couldn't hold it in any longer and decided to stop his cultivation. He wanted to go out and reap the harvest. He wanted to take revenge for all the grudges he had.
He left in such a hurry that he didn't even bid farewell to Ling Yun and Ling Yue before he chased after Cui Lao.
The Divine Ghost Willow in front of them was the one that Ling Yun and Mo Wudao specially searched for Yin Qi and carefully cultivated. Later on, Ling Yun planted it here to protect the entire Ling Family and provide them with the Black Yellow Immortal Spiritual Energy they needed for cultivation.
But now, the other Divine Ghost Willow was carried by Ling Yun everywhere. It had been tempered by the God of Thunder and absorbed a terrifying amount of pure wood element tribulation lightning. It had undergone a qualitative change, and its growth rate had long surpassed this one.
The Ghost God Willow in front of him was as thick as a bowl and nearly four meters tall. Its entire body was green and lustrous. Countless willow branches swayed gently as if welcoming Ling Yun's arrival.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Ling Yun reached out and gently grabbed a bunch of willow twigs. He felt the Heaven and Earth aura and smiled.
The willow branches swayed gently.
Then, with a thought from Ling Yun, the soil under his feet instantly surged like waves. The Divine Ghost Willow was uprooted from the ground, and he kept it in his Cosmos Ring.
After putting away the Ghost Divine Willow, Ling Yun activated the Yellow Springs Earth Emperor Technique with his divine will again. The soil under his feet instantly stopped churning and became solid ground. Everything around him was seamless as if nothing had happened.
Ling Yun didn't move from his spot and started to use the Supreme Green Emperor Art again. The spiritual herbs in the fifth and sixth courtyards of the Ling Family started to grow crazily. In just half a minute, they had all matured.
Through the tribulation in the East Sea, Ling Yun had obtained the terrifying power of the tribulation thunder of the wood element. Now, he had reached the peak of the sixth major realm of the Supreme Green Emperor Art. He was only one step away from breaking through to the seventh major realm and reaching the realm of blooming flowers with a thought.
Now that he was using the Supreme Azure Thearch Art, not only could he easily ripen the spiritual herbs in the two courtyards in a short period of time, but he could also release the spiritual energy at will. For those that had already ripened, he wouldn't waste even the slightest bit of spiritual energy.
After ripening all the herbs, Ling Yun immediately used his transcendence energy to separate the matured herbs into different categories. Some needed flowers, some needed fruits, and some even uprooted the entire herb, not leaving a single one behind. Ling Yun kept all of them into his Universe Ring.
Then, Ling Yun leveled the ground again and scattered the seeds again. He used Spiritual Qi to encourage them to germinate quickly and sprout out of the ground like a garden full of flowers and plants.
"Caw caw, caw caw …"
Because Ling Yun had put away the Ghost Divine Willow, the Golden Striped Crow had nowhere to rest. It was so anxious that it flew around Ling Yun's head, cawing incessantly.
Ling Yun smiled and raised his head. "Find a place to play and come back at this time tomorrow night. Otherwise, I'll pluck your feathers and roast you for meat."
"Caw …"
The Golden Striped Crow flapped its wings and soared into the night sky. In an instant, it disappeared without a trace.
"Hehe …"
Looking at the Golden Striped Crow's panicked look, Ling Yun couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he sat cross-legged and began to absorb all kinds of Spiritual Qi in the Ling Family's ancestral home.
"Woo woo …"
Ling Yun summoned the Yin-Yang True Qi vortex. The vortex instantly expanded and covered a radius of tens of meters around him, forming a huge vortex. The Spiritual Qi in the entire Ling Family's ancestral home was quickly absorbed by this vortex and turned into Yin-Yang Qi. Ling Yun absorbed all of it into his body.
"Wow, this Spirit Gathering Formation has really absorbed a lot of Spiritual Qi these days. After absorbing all of it, it actually replenished about seventy to eighty percent of the Divine Energy that I used during the day in Miaojiang."
Ling Yun got up and nodded in satisfaction. Now, the Divine Energy in his sea of consciousness was almost full. There were at least 1.7 million drops. He was confident that it was enough to deal with any unexpected situation.
His father, Ling Xiao's birthday was tomorrow. Ling Yun wouldn't allow any accidents to happen. If anyone dared to cause trouble at the Ling Family tomorrow, he would definitely not let them leave!
"Collect!"
Next, Ling Yun raised his left arm and spread his five fingers. His divine will moved again!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
All the big iron balls and lead balls in the Ling Family's ancestral home flew into the air and flew towards Ling Yun's head from all directions. They were all collected by him into the Universe Ring!
The Spirit Gathering Formation, Thousand Nine Slaughter Formation, and Armillary Sphere Maze Formation were all removed by Ling Yun with a wave of his hand.
In less than ten minutes, the Ling Family's ancestral home was almost completely devoid of Spiritual Qi. All the formations were removed, and it became an ordinary huge house.
"Yun Er, what … what's going on?"
Ling Lie was alarmed. He suddenly appeared and asked in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
"Grandpa, there will definitely be a lot of important guests coming to our Ling Family's ancestral home tomorrow, especially many Ancient Martial Artists and Cultivators. Right now, our Ling Family can already be called a blessed land for cultivation in the world. I don't want those people to see the mystery behind it."
The Ling Family had really been high-profile tonight. Tomorrow, the Ling Family would open their doors to welcome guests from all over. They just had to accept the gifts. There was no need to deliberately show off.
Ling Yun wanted to be low-key now. He didn't want the cultivators from the outside world to gather at the Ling Family's house and absorb Spiritual Qi for nothing. At the same time, he didn't want them to be confused about how the Ling Family could be so heaven-defying in such a short period of time.
High-key and low-key, it all depended on one's heart!
"Uh …"
Ling Lie heard Ling Yun's explanation and was stunned at first. Then, he understood. He shook his head and thought to himself, This grandson of mine really doesn't let others take advantage of him. He doesn't leave any opportunities for others!
"That makes sense!"
However, Ling Lie still nodded his head and praised Ling Yun. Then, he flew back to his own courtyard.
"Whoosh!"
Ling Yun went directly to the eighth courtyard of the Ling Family, outside the dungeon.
Ever since Ling Yun took Di Yutang away, the dungeon had been empty. Now, it had been cleaned up by the Ling Family's men of sacrifice. Everything was back to normal.
Ling Yun used his Divine Will and some stones to set up a small Divine Defense Formation around the dungeon. This was to prevent guests who came tomorrow from using their Divine Will to spy on this place.
At this point, Ling Yun had arranged everything in the Ling Family.
"This should be about it."
Ling Yun clapped his hands and used his Divine Will to envelop the entire Ling Family's ancestral home. He was very satisfied. Then, he floated to the ninth courtyard, the Ling Family's ancestral hall.
Because of Ling Yun's return and his sudden action, the core members of the Ling Family, other than the servants, couldn't fall asleep.
Ling Xiao was the most important person involved. Of course, he couldn't really rest. After discussing some important matters with Ling Yue, he only returned to his room to inform Dong Ruolan. Then, he went to the ancestral hall to continue his night watch.
"Yun Er, come in."
Knowing that Ling Yun had arrived outside the ancestral hall, Ling Xiao opened his mouth and called him in.
Ling Yun walked in and saw Ling Xiao, who was meditating on the futon.
"Greetings to the ancestors."
Before Ling Yun could speak, Ling Xiao said solemnly.
Ling Yun lit the incense and bowed to the ancestors as the head of the Ling Family. Then, he turned around and sat cross-legged facing Ling Xiao.
Ling Yun thought of a few ways to phrase his words. Finally, he decided to go straight to the point.
"Father, actually, you don't have to come here every night. After so many years, the ancestors must have understood your intentions."
"Moreover, I have already avenged more than half of the Ling Family's grudge."
The father and son looked at each other.
"This is the last night."
Ling Xiao finally spoke slowly, "Yun'er, after I've successfully overcome my tribulation tomorrow night, I'll go into closed-door cultivation in order to break through as soon as possible. In the future, I'll attack the Devil Sect with you and save your mother from her misery. Our family will be reunited!"
"Alright!"
Father and son were connected by heart. Ling Yun nodded in agreement.
"Yun Er, you've caused such a ruckus over the past month. There should be some movement from the Devil Sect, right?"
Ling Xiao's focus was different from Ling Yue's. He focused on the cultivation world and naturally had his own goals and plans.
"It's very strange," Ling Yun said frankly.
"Ever since I killed Sikong Tu's family, the other forces of the Devil Sect haven't made any moves. I don't know what they're planning."
"That's why I'm still waiting for news from Xingchen."
If Ling Yun wanted to deal with the Devil Sect, the key person was naturally Ye Xingchen.
"Mm."
Ling Xiao nodded. "Yun Er, don't underestimate the Devil Sect. They're too mysterious. Their true strength far surpasses the alliance of the righteous sects at the Devil Subduing Conference. That's why, no matter where you go from now on, you have to be cautious if you meet them."
Ling Yun smiled. "Xingchen has told me about this before. Don't worry, Father."
Ling Xiao was instantly reassured. He nodded with a smile. "Yun Er, go do your own things then. Don't worry about me. I'll stay here tonight. Tomorrow, there will be a banquet to announce the return of the Ling Family to the top of Huaxia!"
