"Old Ancestor, you didn't hear wrongly. My cultivation has indeed reached the peak of the Ninth Level of the Giant Star Realm!"
Following Ling Dong's words, time seemed to have stopped in the 359th Spiritual Courtyard. Whether it was Guan Xingzi or Yang Cheng, their expressions and even their breaths were frozen at the moment Ling Dong finished speaking.
If it wasn't for the wind rustling the surrounding leaves, this scene would have made Ling Dong feel as if he had fallen into an illusion. This was because Guan Xingzi and Yang Cheng's current situation was too strange.
Even though Ling Dong already knew that Guan Xingzi and Yang Cheng's soul cultivation was limited, they wouldn't be able to sense his cultivation. Now that he said it out loud, it would shock Guan Xingzi and Yang Cheng to the point of seeing stars. However, Ling Dong didn't expect that it would be in such a situation!
"Huff, huff …"
After about a hundred breaths, Ling Dong heard two consecutive long exhalations and gasps. After this shock, Guan Xingzi and Yang Cheng's actions returned to normal, but their expressions …
"Four and a half years to reach the peak of the Ninth Level of the Giant Star Realm from the First Level of the Giant Star Realm. I took forty years to reach the Eighth Level of the Giant Star Realm from the First Level of the Giant Star Realm. Senior Brother Guan Xingzi, do you think I should find a tree and kill myself?" Yang Cheng said with an exaggerated bitter smile.
"Yang Cheng, if you want to die, don't drag this old man down with you. Forty years for you, twelve for me, that's about it. Sigh … this … "Guan Xingzi sighed. He wanted to say something, but stopped. His eyes were extremely complicated.
Fortunately, not long after Ling Dong ascended to the True Star Sect, Guan Xingzi dispelled the complicated relationship between him and Ling Dong. Even though Ling Dong had always respected Guan Xingzi, he still didn't dare to offend Guan Xingzi.
Otherwise, Guan Xingzi wouldn't have known how to face Ling Dong, whose cultivation had skyrocketed.
Suddenly, Guan Xingzi's eyebrows twitched. Ling Dong asked, "Dong-er, you didn't come here just to tell us your true cultivation, did you? If you're really like this, then I'm going to get angry. Show off!
It's definitely a blatant show off and a blow. If you meet someone with a weak temperament, I'm afraid they'll immediately be struck down by you to the point that they won't have the heart to cultivate! "
Guan Xingzi's shrewdness was reflected here.
After all, Guan Xingzi had lived for a long time and was in charge of the life and death of a sect. He had experienced a long and complicated struggle, so his experience was not something that an ordinary old ghost who had lived for a long time could compare with.
This was also the reason why Ling Dong made a special trip here today!
"Of course not! Elder Ancestor, do you think I, Ling Dong, am that kind of person? "Ling Dong felt wronged, but took the opportunity to reveal the purpose of his visit.
"Elder Ancestor, Yang Cheng, it's like this. I've recently been appointed by the Residence of the Constellation Heaven Lord to be a Heavenly Official in the Central Garrison Starfield. I wanted to ask for your opinion. Are you willing to follow me to the Central Garrison Starfield?" Ling Dong asked very directly and was well prepared.
If they agreed, Ling Dong would naturally be overjoyed. If they didn't, Ling Dong would naturally give them generous gifts. Ling Dong was never stingy to those who had helped him or treated him well!
"Heavenly Official? Appointment by the Residence of the Constellation Heaven Lord? " Upon hearing Ling Dong's words, Guan Xingzi and Yang Cheng were petrified again. They craned their necks forward at the same time, as if they had heard something unbelievable. This shock was even greater than when they had heard about Ling Dong's cultivation!
After all, their knowledge was above that of a Heavenly Official. True Gang Sect couldn't even get a Heavenly Official, but Ling Dong had suddenly been appointed as a Heavenly Official in charge of a Heavenly Official. This … this was simply …
Guan Xingzi and Yang Cheng's feelings were indescribable at this point.
Ling Dong hadn't expected this either. Actually, the main reason was that Ling Dong had high standards, while Guan Xingzi and Yang Cheng's standards, or rather their knowledge, were extremely low. That was why they had made such a mistake.
For example, in the eyes of Guan Dezi and Yang Cheng, being able to become the governor of a county was already an extremely amazing and extraordinary thing. However, they were suddenly told that Ling Dong was going to become the governor of a province. The shock they felt was naturally indescribable.
Because of this, Ling Dong had no choice but to explain to Guan Xingzi and Yang Cheng that he was going to be appointed as a Heavenly Official after they recovered from their shock. In short, he had been rewarded for his meritorious service.
"Dong 'er, you must have come to me because you need it, right?" Guan Xingzi, who was extraordinarily knowledgeable, hit the nail on the head with a single sentence.
"Yes! Due to some special reasons, I'm bringing all my clansmen with me on this trip. However, there aren't many clansmen that I can use. Furthermore, using all my clansmen has its drawbacks. Ancestor, you should understand! "Ling Dong nodded.
"Since you need it, just let me know when you're going to depart!" Guan Xingzi said without hesitation. Then, he laughed dryly and said, "Of course, you don't have to think of me as a righteous man. Looking at your development over the years, I haven't noticed anything else, but there's one thing that I've observed very clearly."
"Me too! Senior Brother Ling, when are you leaving? Just tell me the date! "Yang Cheng also rushed to answer from the side. In the end, Yang Cheng asked again, "Senior Brother Stargazer, what did you discover? Continue!"
"Basking in your light!" Ancestor Stargazer only said two words.
At this moment, not to mention Yang Cheng, even Ling Dong was unable to understand what was going on.
Ancestor Stargazer stroked his long beard and said, "Those who are on good terms with Ling Dong and stay around you will bask in your light. Whether it's cultivation or other aspects, they will advance by leaps and bounds!
Whether it's Pill King Yuan Chen from the Lower Realm, True Dipper Sect from the Lower Realm, Tu Bai, Qing Yi, Great Emperor Bi Pengcheng from the Yaoguang Empire, or us from the Upper Realm, if you observe carefully, you will discover this! "
"Yes, yes!" Yang Cheng also shouted. "Although I don't know many of the people that Senior Brother Stargazer mentioned, there is one thing that I know. I have only followed Senior Brother Ling for three to four years, but in these three to four years, my improvement is incomparable to that of the past forty years! No matter what, I will follow Senior Brother Ling! "
"Don't be anxious, let me add something!" At this time, whether it was out of his conscience or out of conscience, there were some things that Ling Dong had to say.
"There is something that you must know. Although it's called a Heavenly Official, in reality, it's the Constellation Heavenly Monarch's residence who sent me there to build a foundation from scratch and expand the territory of the Wood Puppet World! What I can tell you is that in the past thousand years, there have been more than ten such appointments.
The strongest Heavenly Official's cultivation has reached the Star Monarch realm! However, he can only stay in the Central Garrison Star Field for about thirty years! It can be said that if I go to the Central Garrison Star Field, there will be a slim chance of survival. If a living person enters, not even his bones will be left behind. You must think carefully! "Ling Dong said.
"Slim chance of survival?" Guan Xingzi suddenly showed an exaggerated expression. "I will say the same thing again. Just let me know when you are leaving."
After saying that, Ancestor Stargazer and Ling Dong looked at Yang Cheng at the same time.
Yang Cheng shrugged. "Senior Brother Ling, do you still need to ask? I don't need to say which one to choose between following you and staying half-dead in the True Dipper Sect, right? "
A smile began to appear at the corners of Ling Dong's mouth. Although Ling Dong had used a little strategy in this matter, Ling Dong still had a clear conscience.
Moreover, Ling Dong understood what Yang Cheng meant. If they stayed in the Wood Puppet World and the True Dipper Sect, regardless of whether it was Yang Cheng or Guan Xingzi, their achievements would be extremely limited. At most, they would be able to become an ordinary elder in a few hundred years.
However, if they went to the Central Garrison Star Field with Ling Dong, how bright would their future be?
Guan Xingzi was needless to say. Although Yang Cheng was not very talented, he was a very trustworthy person with an extremely flexible mind. If Ling Dong brought him along, he would definitely be of great use.
"Okay. I can't confirm the departure time yet, but it should be within ten days or half a month! Hurry up and pack up, then wait for me in the Mansion of the Celestial Lord of Heaven. We will set off together then! " As he spoke, Ling Dong gave them two Interspatial Rings. "Here are 50,000 Medium Reiki. If you need to buy anything, you can use it to settle down your family members."
"What? 50,000 Medium Reiki? "Guan Xingzi and Yang Cheng were stunned again by Ling Dong's extremely generous offer.
50,000 Medium Reiki?
In their hands, there were probably less than 50,000 Low Reiki.
After giving some instructions, Ling Dong took out the Celestial Official Token again. After sending out his Earth Energy, Ling Dong's figure suddenly disappeared from the 359th Spiritual Academy.
Half a day later, Ling Dong's figure appeared in the True Dipper Sect of the Heavenly Dipper Continent. As soon as he arrived, Ling Dong summoned Gao Yuan.
"Gao Yuan, what's the progress of the things I've asked you to do?" Ling Dong asked.
"Young Master, we've notified everyone. Even the clan members in the Northern Frontier have all returned to their families to wait. Four days ago, Master also rushed back to the family overnight. "Gao Yuan paused for a moment.
"Speak!" Ling Dong said softly.
"Because the family gave up almost all of the businesses in the continent in an instant, this recall caused all of the family's businesses, especially the long-term trade, to be completely paralyzed. This situation caused a lot of opposition within the family, and Master had no choice but to rush back overnight!" Gao Yuan said.
"A lot of opposition?" Ling Dong's mouth showed a trace of cynicism. This was the family's drawback. This was also because Ling Dong and Ji Wei were present. Otherwise, there would be people who would jump out and start a rebellion.
"It seems that before I leave, I have to tidy up the family properly. Otherwise, I'm afraid that there will be people there who will ruin things!" Ling Dong murmured.
When Gao Yuan heard Ling Dong's murmur, the veins on his forehead twitched. He's actually leaving? But even though he was surprised, Gao Yuan still didn't say a word. The current Gao Yuan was becoming more and more calm.
"Gao Yuan, go and dispose of all of the family's assets other than the Reiki, especially the gold and silver, as well as the immovable property that can't be taken away. Dispose of them into Reiki or herbs. Be quick!"
After saying this, Ling Dong took a step forward and went into the void. With a thought, he locked onto the Sect Leader of the True Gang Sect, Tu Bai. "Little Bai, settle the matters of the True Gang Sect and arrange for a new Sect Leader. In a few days, I'll bring you to the Wood Elemental World!"
Tu Bai, who was handling affairs and signing documents, suddenly stood up. In an instant, there was a huge commotion in the True Gang Sect.
While Tu Bai was moving, Ling Dong had already activated the Cloud-Piercing Boat and flew towards the family headquarters. At the same time, thousands of miles away, the Ling family's old mansion was in an uproar! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
