"My Lord, your subordinate Wood Demon greets my Lord!" Not long after Ling Dong roared in his mind, a green shadow rolled in from the sky, blocking Ling Dong's line of sight.
He saw a tree as thick as a person, with thousands of green branches and leaves, rolling in from the mountains behind the Ling family's castle. Its power was shocking, and Ling Dong's clansmen all looked at it. However, with the name of the Psychic Ancient Tree, no one found it strange. This was mainly because Ling Dong wanted Old Demon Wood Demon to bring his true body here.
Seeing Old Demon Wood Demon arrive, and how bloated he was, Ling Dong frowned. "Dummy, why are you so bloated? Don't you know how to shrink your body?"
"My Lord …" Old Demon Wood Demon's face turned bitter when he heard this. Just as he was about to say something, his gaze fell on the expressionless Gongsun Zhanyi, and he hesitated.
Old Demon Wood Demon's hesitation reminded Ling Dong that he could not keep Gongsun Zhanyi in the cold.
He waved at Gongsun Zhanyi, and the latter immediately came forward. Ling Dong said, "Gongsun Zhanyi, are you willing to be my slave?"
"Do I have a choice?" Gongsun Zhanyi asked expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Ling Dong was speechless. "Since you don't have a choice, then accept your fate. Being my slave is not a disgrace to you. Not only will your family be taken care of by me, you'll also benefit from it in the future. Alright, let go of your spirit. I'm going to plant the Soul-Slaying Nail. "
Extracting other people's Spirit Origins and placing them into his own Sea of Consciousness to control two or three was the limit. Any more and Ling Dong's main soul would be affected.
Originally, this Soul Slayer Nail did not have much use in controlling others. After all, when one's soul cultivation reached the level of a half-step Zhou Tian God, even if there was a difference, it would not be that big. Most of the time, it was just a little bit of deterrence. However, Ling Dong's Seven-colored Soul Slaying Nail was different. It was extremely powerful.
As long as Ling Dong was willing, he could decide the life and death of the person who had pierced the Soul Slaying Nail. For someone like Gongsun Zhanyi who could not be completely controlled, using the Soul Slayer Nail was the best way to control him.
Gongsun Zhan Yi let out a long sigh and glanced at the sky. Then, he released his Spirit Origin. As he had said, he had no other choice in this matter.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Dong had already nailed a Soul Slaying Nail that he had refined long ago into the depths of Gongsun Zhanyi's Soul Origin. The latter was naturally shocked, but he did not show it on his face.
To Gongsun Zhanyi, he was already a slave. There was no difference between being completely controlled and being partially controlled.
Looking at Gongsun Zhanyi's disheartened expression, Ling Dong was a little depressed. To be honest, Ling Dong had kept Gongsun Zhanyi because he cherished talent.
Gongsun Zhanyi's cultivation had reached Level Eight of the Zhou Tian Realm and was about to break through to Level Nine of the Zhou Tian Realm. His potential was limitless. With a little bit of nurturing, he could become a half-step Zhou Tian God. In the future, he might even become a Zhou Tianshen Envoy.
Although the half-step Zhou Tian Gods that he had taken in at the Star Dou Mountain Range were under Ling Dong's control, they might not be able to be ordered around by Ling Dong. However, it was different for Gongsun Zhanyi, who was already a slave.
However, Ling Dong did not want such a disheartened Gongsun Zhanyi. He frowned and pointed at Gongsun Zhanyi as he shouted, "It's your fortune to be my slave. Don't doubt me. You'll know when you break through to Level Nine of the Zhou Tian Realm."
After he finished speaking, Ling Dong's Divine Sense moved and immediately enveloped Gongsun Zhanyi. He sent Gongsun Zhanyi directly into the Myriad Star Palace of the Myriad Stars House. Then, he withdrew his Divine Sense and ignored him.
Everyone could see how mystical the Myriad Star Palace was. No matter how shocked Gongsun Zhanyi was, it was normal. However, Ling Dong did not want to see Gongsun Zhanyi's shock.
Ling Dong only knew that when his Divine Sense left Gongsun Zhanyi, Gongsun Zhanyi's eyes, which were like a pool of stagnant water, suddenly shone with a terrifying light. His expression changed drastically.
"Dumby, can't you shrink your body? How am I going to bring you out in the future with your body? How are you going to help me with my work? "Ling Dong said unhappily. Ling Dong liked Old Demon Wood Demon's ability the most. It allowed him to slip into the forest silently and ambush him at the crucial moment. With his current body, how could he remain silent when he made a move?
Dumby, the Wood Demon, had a bitter expression on his face when he heard this. "Master, your subordinate doesn't know either. Ever since I absorbed the Origin Energy of the top-grade Dragon Essence Spiritual Liquid Pearl in the Myriad Star Hall, my cultivation increased greatly and I broke through to the Constellation Stage, and I was unable to control my body shape. "
At this point, Old Demon Wood Demon hung his head even more dejectedly. "To tell you the truth, only the core of my true body has arrived. If all of my true body had arrived, it would have taken up half of the Ling family castle. I don't know either. Ever since my cultivation reached the Constellation realm, the faster my cultivation grew, the faster my body grew. "
"Oh?" Ling Dong was puzzled. However, Ling Dong didn't know much about the Demon Spirits. Thinking about it, he guessed that it had something to do with their respective legacies.
For example, the Cat Spirit. Some time ago, when Ling Dong activated the top-grade Dragon Essence Spiritual Liquid Pearl in the Myriad Star Hall, he had let the Cat Spirit cultivate there. However, after the Cat Spirit's cultivation reached the peak of the Quasi Star Realm, it couldn't advance any further.
Thinking of the Cat Spirit, Ling Dong had a thought and wanted to summon the Cat Spirit. During this time, Ling Dong didn't need the Cat Spirit, so he let the Cat Spirit play freely in the forest of the Ling family castle. The Ling family members knew the Cat Spirit's identity, so naturally, no one dared to provoke it. However, Ling Dong hadn't seen the Cat Spirit for a while.
"Whoosh …"
Just as this thought flashed through Ling Dong's mind, a ray of white light suddenly shot through the air from afar. Its speed was extremely fast, and accompanied by a cheerful 'meow', the white light pounced towards Ling Dong's chest.
Seeing the Cat Spirit coming, Ling Dong's face involuntarily revealed a trace of a smile, but the moment the smile appeared, it instantly froze.
This was because Ling Dong saw that the Cat Spirit had originally wanted to jump into his arms, but when it was still a hundred meters away from him, the Cat Spirit's sapphire blue eyes suddenly flashed with a startled brilliance.
Letting out an uncontrollable cry, the Cat Spirit suddenly turned around and hid behind Old Demon Wood Spirit. Ling Dong could faintly see the Cat Spirit's body trembling slightly behind Old Demon Wood Spirit.
"Master, Little Spirit … it's scared … your aura is too strong, it's very scared …"
"Shut up!" Old Demon Wood Spirit, who was explaining to Ling Dong, suddenly suffered an unexpected calamity. Being yelled at by Ling Dong in an unprecedentedly ferocious manner, including Ling Dong's current agitated manner, gave Old Demon Wood Spirit a huge fright.
Ling Dong's entire body trembled, or perhaps it was fear. The Cat Spirit's attitude suddenly made Ling Dong feel that it was lonely at the top.
Ling Dong understood that this was due to the explosive increase in his cultivation level. The powerful aura on his body caused the Cat Spirit to instinctively fear him. However, the Cat Spirit was his companion. It was a companion that had accompanied him in building his foundation from scratch. This was something that even the Old Demon Wood Demon could not replace.
Ling Dong suddenly felt a bit of hatred. He hated himself for neglecting the Cat Spirit and giving it the cold shoulder in the past few years. Although the Cat Spirit would always benefit whenever there were benefits, Ling Dong knew very well that he had not done anything for the Cat Spirit.
Ling Dong could vaguely remember when he had first left Nanshan City and encountered the Golden-scaled Serpent undergoing the serpent's lightning tribulation. It was almost certain death for him, but the Cat Spirit had pounced on him and put on a frightening fight between a dragon and a tiger. Only then did he survive, and only then did he reap great rewards.
In the apothecary's manor, in Starfall Valley, in … and so on and so forth. The Cat Spirit had accompanied him through life and death. Memories of it immediately surged into Ling Dong's mind.
"Little Spirit, come here. I'm your master. Little Spirit, come here …" Ling Dong's voice trembled slightly. He did his best to rein in his aura, and slowly walked towards the Cat Spirit hiding behind Old Demon Wood Spirit.
"Little Spirit, don't be afraid. How could I hurt you …"
Perhaps it was because Ling Dong had done his best to rein in his aura, or perhaps it was because Ling Dong's call had brought back the distant feelings, but the Cat Spirit's fearful eyes gradually faded away. Its snow-white body with a hint of blue leapt up lightly, and landed accurately in Ling Dong's outstretched palm.
It extended its pink tongue and gently licked Ling Dong's palm. That familiar warmth instantly made Ling Dong have the urge to cry.
Ling Dong felt that something he had lost had returned at this moment.
He gently hugged the Cat Spirit in his arms and stroked the supple Cat Spirit. He said softly, "Don't worry. I'll definitely find a way for you to break through the bloodline shackles. I'll definitely …"
Indeed, the Cat Spirit's eyes were filled with fear when it looked at Ling Dong just now. This truly stimulated Ling Dong.
Moreover, it made Ling Dong think that if his cultivation became even stronger one day, then his father, his wife, and even his children would look at him with gazes that were filled with suppressed fear. Just how sorrowful would that be …?
"Meow …" The Cat Spirit called out softly, and used its pink tongue to lick Ling Dong. It had already gained intelligence. Although it was timid, it could still understand Ling Dong's meaning.
Ling Dong was the kind of person who acted on his thoughts. With a thought, his Divine Sense entered the Myriad Stars House. Ling Dong, however, thought that the Mountain God Yin Kang was experienced and knowledgeable. Perhaps he had some heaven-defying methods?
"Old ghost, look at this Cat Spirit. Is there any way for it to break through the bloodline shackles?" Ling Dong asked the Mountain God Yin Kang very seriously.
The Mountain God Yin Kang glanced across the Myriad Stars House and said with disdain, "Kid, you're getting more and more unreliable. A demon at the peak of the Qui Star realm that has just gained intelligence. It's not even fit to be a doorkeeper. You want it to break through the bloodline shackles? Dream on! "
Hearing this, Ling Dong frowned. "What, it's not possible? Then what about the legendary White Rainbow Immortal Root that can awaken the ancestral spirit bloodline? Do you know where that thing is? "
"White Rainbow Immortal Root?" The Mountain God Yin Kang, Ling Dong rolled his eyes. "Don't waste your time. That White Rainbow Immortal Root can awaken the ancestral spirit bloodline, but an ancestor is only a Mountain Sparrow bloodline. No matter how it awakens, it can only be a Mountain Sparrow. It will never be a Vermillion Bird. This little guy is already heaven-defying to reach its current level. Following you around and waiting for death is its fate …"
"F * ck your father!" Ling Dong was enraged when he heard this. Without any hesitation, his Spiritual Sense turned into a huge slap and slapped Mountain God Yin Kang, who was in the Residence of Ten Thousand Stars.
"F * ck your father. I'm just speaking the truth. This piece of trash can only eat and wait for death …" The moment the Mountain God Yin Kang dodged, he also started cursing at Ling Dong.
Hearing this, Ling Dong's eyes turned red and he started arguing with the Mountain God Yin Kang.
However, just as the two of them were in a heated argument, Vermillion Bird Little Four, who was cultivating in Ling Dong's Mansion of Ten Thousand Stars, suddenly spoke. "Father, I might have a way …"
