"Daddy … play with the clouds with me. I want to see the clouds … I want to, I want you to take me to play with the clouds …"
On the other side of the mountain behind the True Gang Sect was a completely independent mountain. Exquisite houses with red walls and green tiles stood in the middle of the mountain. At first glance, it was very pleasing to the eye.
Under the vines of a tree in a courtyard, a fair, tender, and beautiful little girl, about three or four years old, was shaking the arm of a young man with all her might. As she begged, she also secretly pulled the young man's hair. Her gaze was extremely crafty.
"It's very cold in the clouds. You'll get sick if you play. If you get sick, you'll have to drink medicine. It's very bitter!" Ling Dong picked up his three and a half year old daughter and tried to scare the cute little girl.
"Daddy is lying. Daddy said last time that medicine isn't bitter. Just pinch my nose and I'll drink it all!" Hearing Ling Dong's threats, the little girl didn't let it go. She took advantage of this weakness and started to cry.
"Daddy is lying. Daddy is not a good kid. Daddy …"
"Alright, alright, alright. My good daughter, stop pulling. Daddy will take you to play with the clouds. Let's go!"
"Smack!" Just as Ling Dong agreed to his precious daughter's request, the little girl pouted and smelled something sweet on Ling Dong's face. Ling Dong couldn't go back on his words even if he wanted to.
"Remember, don't tell Mommy later!" Ling Dong raised a finger and shushed the little girl.
Hearing Ling Dong's order, the little girl replied seriously, "Daddy, don't worry. I won't tell Big Mommy, Mommy, Third Mommy, or Fourth Mommy. Second Mommy isn't here, so don't worry about it!"
"You …" Ling Dong chuckled. His body flashed with a green light and he carried the little girl up into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Dong flew to a cloud. He stopped and carefully opened a hole in his Protective Aura.
The little girl in Ling Dong's embrace reached out her little hand through the opening in an extremely practiced manner, reaching into the pure white clouds. Her arm lightly trembled, as if she was playing with water, stirring up the white clouds.
"Daddy, why can't I touch these clouds when I can see them?" After playing with them curiously for a while, the little girl withdrew her fingers that were red from the cold and asked in confusion.
"Well, you can find the answer for yourself when you grow up and can fly like your father!" As he spoke, Ling Dong blew a few breaths of hot air onto the little girl's fingers, which had turned red from the cold. The clouds in the sky were rather cold and contained a greater danger.
"Grow up? Daddy, can you refine a magical pill for me to grow up faster?" The little girl opened her eyes wide and looked at Ling Dong innocently. Her expression was very serious.
Ling Dong was completely confused by the little girl's increasingly ridiculous questions. No matter how he answered, it was inappropriate.
Suddenly, Ling Dong poked his head towards the ground and said in surprise, "Oh no, your Mommy seems to be looking for us!"
Upon hearing the word 'mother', the little girl shrunk into Ling Dong's embrace. She glanced at her reddened little hands worriedly before reaching into Ling Dong's embrace.
With a thought, Ling Dong landed on the ground with the little girl in his arms. Ling Dong really saw that Liu Yaoguang was looking for him and his daughter in the courtyard.
"You spoiled her again and took her to play with the clouds again, right? Aren't you afraid of an accident? " Seeing Ling Dong fall from the sky with the little girl in his arms and the little girl's hand habitually covering Ling Dong's arms, Liu Yaoguang looked at Ling Dong with a reproachful gaze.
Seven years had passed, but Liu Yaoguang had not aged at all. Instead, she had become even more beautiful. Under the nourishment of Ling Dong, she had become more voluptuous. Her proud and tall twin peaks could definitely make any man's gaze sink into them.
This little girl was Liu Yaoguang and Ling Dong's daughter. She was born more than three years ago and was also Ling Dong's only precious daughter. For some reason, in the past seven years, although Ling Dong did not have sex with his wives day and night, the frequency was still extremely high.
However, what Ling Dong could not figure out was that in the past seven years, he had only given birth to this one child. Because this was his only baby. Even her name was Zhenzhen!
Now, Ling Dong, Qiu Qingyi, Liu Yaoguang, and Qiao Ruyan lived on a newly built mountain behind Zhen Gang Sect. Zi Yao had already moved into the Ling family.
However, Zi Yao was not as lucky as Qiu Qingyi, Liu Yaoguang, and Qiao Ruyan. Zi Yao stayed with the Ling family all year round, managing the Ling family's business behind the scenes and coordinating the relationship between the Ling family and Kuixing Pavilion. Occasionally, Liu Yaoguang would go over to help for a while.
In fact, the Ling family and Kuixing Pavilion did not have much to coordinate now. After the first few years of skirmishes and conflicts, the current Kuixing Pavilion had long avoided the Ling Family in the field of business.
If Ling Dong had not specifically asked the Ling family to leave some leeway for Kuixing Pavilion, and Ling Dong was a little afraid of Kuixing Pavilion in the Wood Puppet Realm, Kuixing Pavilion in the Tiangang Continent would have been swallowed up by the Ling family long ago.
Even so, seven years was enough for the Ling family to grow into a giant. Whether it was the family's strength or the family's financial resources, the Ling family was now a giant.
Even without Ling Dong, the Ling family could still defend against Kuixing Pavilion's attack. If the Ling family and Zhen Gang Sect joined forces, they could easily defeat Kuixing Pavilion. It was like a tripartite balance of power.
However, everyone knew that this tripartite balance of power would not last long. It would not be long before Kuixing Pavilion, Zhen Gang Sect, and the Ling family became two tigers fighting each other. The battle between Zhen Gang Sect and the Ling family. Kuixing Pavilion's strength had been suppressed badly in recent years.
It had been seven years since the completion of the Xingguan Palace on Heaven Reaching Peak. In these seven years, the situation in the Tiangang Continent had changed dramatically.
First of all, the Ling family, which was previously unknown, had risen to power. Now, their business network had spread all over the Tiangang Continent. The family's strength had also soared rapidly. The Ling family alone had more than twelve Heaven-dipper Realm experts.
The cultivation of Ling Yuanshan, the patriarch of the Ling family, had reached the fifth level of Heaven-dipper Realm. Coupled with the sharp Precious Weapon of Heaven and Earth and his strong Spirit Power, he could easily defeat an expert at the late stage of Heaven-dipper Realm.
In fact, Zhen Gang Sect's strength had improved the fastest. The number of Heaven-dipper Realm experts in Zhen Gang Sect had completely exceeded that of Kuixing Pavilion. If it were not for the several Gang Spirit Realm experts in Kuixing Pavilion, Zhen Gang Sect could completely suppress Kuixing Pavilion with its own strength.
In these seven years, Chu Fangyue of Zhen Gang Sect had successfully stepped into Gang Spirit Realm. In other words, she was in Transforming Star Realm. However, Chu Fangyue had not gone through Transforming Star Thunder Tribulation, so she could barely be regarded as a Gang Spirit Realm expert.
"Oh, I'm here. What can happen?" Ling Dong said casually to Liu Yaoguang. Liu Yaoguang took the child from Ling Dong's arms and said, "Senior brother Chu is here for you. You were not here just now, so I waited for him in the living room. Qiu Yi is accompanying him. Go there quickly!" Liu Yaoguang said.
"Oh, I'm coming!" After replying, Ling Dong walked towards the living room within this extremely exquisite courtyard. However, he started to ponder in his mind, "Why has Senior Chu come here? Could it be because of that matter?"
"Junior brother, come here quickly. I've been waiting for you for a while!" Seeing Ling Dong coming, Qiu Qingyi, who was chatting with Chu Fangyue, greeted him loudly.
Qiu Qingyi had been used to calling Ling Dong "junior brother" for so many years. Even when the two of them were in bed, Qiu Qingyi would still call him "Junior Brother" sometimes.
"Senior, did you come to look for me today because you have thought about that matter?" After casually mentioning two names, Ling Dong went straight to the point.
"Yes, junior brother. I'm here for that thing. I've thought it through and made a decision!" Chu Fangyue said solemnly.
"Oh, Senior Brother has actually made a decision so quickly. What kind of decision is it?" Ling Dong asked curiously. To be honest, this matter had troubled Ling Dong and Chu Fangyue for almost a year.
Chu Fangyue looked at Ling Dong solemnly and said, "Junior brother, I've decided that I won't go through the Transforming Star Thunder Tribulation for the time being. I'll stay in the True Gang Sect and let you go through the Transforming Star Thunder Tribulation first!"
"Oh, why did you suddenly change your mind?" Ling Dong was curious.
"Oh, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you. I've thought it through for more than half a year! Although the path of cultivation is like sailing against the current, it also depends on the timing! If there are predecessors to pave the way, it will be much easier and I won't die halfway!
Look at Tu Bai, that little bastard! Eight years ago, that little bastard was still at the Middle-stage of Disha Realm. He was thousands of miles away from me. But ever since the Gathering of the Winds and Clouds, that little bastard has been following by your side. His cultivation has skyrocketed like a ballista.
In just eight years, his cultivation has skyrocketed from the Middle-stage of Disha Realm to the Late-stage of Heaven-gang Realm. He's only one and a half levels lower than me! And I'm also benefiting from you. Otherwise, as your senior brother, I might still be at the Late-stage of Heaven-gang Realm. How could I break through to Gang Spirit Realm?
So, I've thought it through. I'll let you go through the Transforming Star Thunder Tribulation first and explore the Wood Sprite Realm in the Upper World. When the True Gang Sect has a successor in the future, I'll go up and enjoy your achievements! "Chu Fangyue said a lot in one breath!
Hearing this, Ling Dong chuckled and said, "Senior brother, it's not as exaggerated as you said. However, your decision has solved a big problem for me!" Speaking of this, Ling Dong cupped his hands and said to Chu Fangyue, "In this case, senior brother, I'll start to prepare for the Transforming Star Thunder Tribulation!"
"Well, you should prepare early. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know! At that time, maybe I'll have to practice the Transforming Star Thunder Tribulation with you. Junior brother Bu said that the Transforming Star Thunder Tribulation is very dangerous! "Chu Fangyue said.
"At that time, I'll have to ask senior brother to protect me!"
After chatting for a while, Chu Fangyue got up and left. Ling Dong's face was a little serious.
In seven years, seven years of quiet and bitter cultivation, Ling Dong's cultivation had reached the peak of the Heavenly Dipper Realm Level Nine! Moreover, the cultivation of the four Evil Cores were green, golden, fiery red, and aqua blue. All of them had reached the peak of the Heavenly Dipper Realm Level Nine!
Thinking about it, cultivation was extremely extravagant. Ling Dong directly used piles of top-grade crystal stones to cultivate. Not to mention that he did not absorb the thin and domineering Qi of Heaven and Earth, he did not even absorb middle-grade crystal stones.
Not to mention the crystal stones that Ling Dong obtained from the treasury of the former Liu Yue Empire's underground palace, and not to mention the high-grade crystal stones that Ling Dong seized after annihilating the Wang You Palace, just the high-grade crystal stones that Ling Dong, the fake Celestial Official, received from various countries and sects during the completion ceremony of the Celestial Official Palace was enough for Ling Dong to crazily absorb high-grade crystal stones for ten years!
In addition, the wealth of the Ling family was growing like a snowball!
It could be said that Ling Dong was immersed in cultivating inside the High-Grade Crystal Stone. In addition, Ling Dong would take out a certain amount of time every day to use the Star Subduing Plate to enhance his Divine Soul Cultivation. As his Divine Soul Cultivation became stronger, his cultivation speed also became faster. Moreover, he also had the help of the wine brewed by Bai Jiu 'er to aid his cultivation.
With the help of these benefits, Ling Dong's cultivation could not not improve rapidly! More than half a year ago, Ling Dong's cultivation had reached the peak of the late stage of the Heavenly Dipper Realm. Together with Chu Fangyue, he had met the requirements to cross the Transforming Star Thunder Tribulation.
But the problem was that although both Ling Dong and Chu Fangyue could cross the Transforming Star Thunder Tribulation, the situation of the True Dipper Sect and Ling Dong determined that only one of them could cross the Transforming Star Thunder Tribulation and leave the Heavenly Dipper Continent. The other had to guard the Heavenly Dipper Continent.
No matter how great the wealth was, it was useless without the corresponding strength to protect it!
On this point, Ling Dong could not argue with Chu Fangyue. However, there was one thing that made Ling Dong feel urgent.
Seven years had passed, and there were less than three years left before the ten-year deadline for the Celestial Officials to report on their duties. Until now, Ling Dong still had not come up with a solution to this problem.
If he could not send out the Celestial Officials normally and report on their duties, it would not be long before both the Dongluo Sect and the Celestial Lords of the Heavenly Dipper Continent found out about the death of the Celestial Officials in the Heavenly Dipper Continent. At that time, Ling Dong would be in big trouble!
Ling Dong wanted to enter the Heavenly Dipper Continent in advance. While there were still more than two years left, he wanted to plan ahead and enter the Heavenly Dipper Continent to explore and prepare. After all, the Heavenly Dipper Continent was wider and had more strange techniques. Maybe there would be a way to solve this problem!
Now, Chu Fangyue had taken the initiative to stay in the Heavenly Dipper Continent to protect the True Dipper Sect and the Ling family. Ling Dong's worries were solved. Ling Dong could now cross the Transforming Star Thunder Tribulation and go to the Heavenly Dipper Continent with peace of mind.
"However, before I cross the Transforming Star Thunder Tribulation, there is a very important place that I must go! Besides the Myriad Stars House of the Master Star Plate, there must be some unknown secrets hidden … "Ling Dong murmured. (To be continued.
