119: Chapter 118 Four Heavenly Tomb Slots for the Spirit Clan

With a Heavenly Realm Soul, abundant cultivation resources, triple the cultivation speed, and a Dou Di Bloodline, it was hard for his cultivation speed to be anything but fast with these four factors combined.

And this was even with Ling Yuan spending one-third of his time consolidating his Foundation.

If he had recklessly charged toward higher Realms, he might have already reached a Two-Star or even Three-Star Dou Zun by now.

Although he might not be able to use the energy bodies inside the Heavenly Tomb, Ling Yuan did not suppress his Breakthrough because of this.

As long as the timing was right, he would make the Breakthrough when it was time.

He was three years older than Xiao Yan, and their paths were destined to be different.

Even if the energy bodies in the Heavenly Tomb were not of much help to him, going in to exploit the Heavenly Tomb's time bug was still very worthwhile.

Three years inside the Heavenly Tomb was only half a year in the outside world.

Who wouldn't be a fool to not enter such a great place where one could gain extra time to Cultivate out of thin air?

Give the spots to the younger generation of the Ling Clan?

Ling Yuan dismissed the thought without even considering it—that was impossible.

Within the Ling Clan, Ling Yuan's talent was already leading by a massive gap; the others were simply unable to catch up.

Take the person with the second-highest talent in the Ling Clan, for example. He was the same age as Ling Yuan, yet he was currently only a Nine-Star Dou Zong and had not even broken through to Dou Zun; he was more than a grade behind Ling Yuan.

Apart from Ling Yuan, the Dou Di Bloodline of the other younger generation members of the Ling Clan was far too thin.

Based on their current situation, by the time they reached their Coming-of-Age Ceremony, it would already be considered quite good if they could reach a seventh-grade Bloodline.

In the Dou Di Clans, the purity of the Dou Di Bloodline often directly represented one's cultivation talent; the thinner the Bloodline, the lower the talent, and the lower the ceiling.

In any case, Ling Yuan no longer expected the younger generation of the Ling Clan to be of any help to him.

Even if he spent a vast amount of resources to carefully nurture them, the ceiling for these people would likely only be Ban Sheng or One-Star Dou Sheng, and they would never be able to go any higher; they could never truly amount to anything.

Under these circumstances, giving the Heavenly Tomb spots to them would simply be a waste.

Ling Yuan had even considered going to discuss with his father one of these days to give the Heavenly Tomb spots to the few women he was nurturing.

Zi Yan, Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin—which one of them wasn't stronger than the younger generation of the Ling Clan?

They were the ones who could reach the level of helping him contend with the Hun Clan sooner.

As for that little brother who was the second most talented in the Ling Clan, it was better to let him go down and settle himself properly.

When he Breakthrough to Dou Di, the Dou Di Bloodline would nourish the clan, and he would naturally take him to new heights.

Among the Dou Di Clans, except for the Gu Clan having occupied the Xiao Clan's two spots back then, every clan currently had two spots.

Everyone had always assumed that the spots were for the younger generation within the clan, but there was no explicit rule stating they couldn't be given to outsiders.

In other words, Zi Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, Qing Lin, and the others could all enter.

If it weren't inappropriate, even Ling Mie could enter.

A big shot taking a younger generation member to grind a dungeon and sweeping through the Heavenly Tomb.

The Dou Di Clans might have thought of this strategy as well, but they had tacitly agreed not to do so.

Ling Yuan intended to take Zi Yan inside; after all, she was his main wife.

He was not a pedantic person; since there was no explicit prohibition, why couldn't he take her?

He would take her, and he would take her as a Four-Star Dou Sheng.

But after thinking about it, Ling Yuan always felt he had overlooked something.

"Damn, I almost forgot that the Stone Clan also has two Heavenly Tomb spots!"

After the Stone Clan experienced the extermination war by the Hun Clan, they were almost wiped out. In the end, only a little over a hundred people remained, and they were all ordinary descendants with little combat capability.

These people had average talent, average strength, and their Bloodline was pitifully thin; many of them didn't even have a Dou Di Bloodline at all.

Ever since the Ling Clan took them in and protected them, all the resources left behind by the Stone Clan naturally fell into the hands of the Ling Clan.

Ling Mie and his son Ling Yuan despised the Gu Clan, so the Ling Clan treated the survivors of the Stone Clan quite well.

They were given sufficient cultivation resources, and a safe area was specifically designated in the Spirit Realm for them to settle down and live.

As long as the Ling Clan did not fall, protecting the lives of these Stone Clan survivors and safeguarding the last bit of the Stone Clan's Dou Di Bloodline was perfectly fine.

Of course, Ling Yuan also knew that it was more likely that these Stone Clan survivors would intermarry with the Ling Clan members in the future and slowly merge.

In a few thousand more years, as the Bloodline continued to merge, the concept of the Stone Clan as an independent group would likely no longer exist.

However, for the survivors of the Stone Clan, this was definitely the best outcome.

At the very least, the Stone Clan's Dou Di Bloodline had not disappeared, which could be considered a dignified conclusion for this once-glorious Dou Di Clan.

Getting sidetracked, since the Stone Clan was now completely attached to the Ling Clan and under its protection, their two Heavenly Tomb spots should naturally belong to the Ling Clan; treating it as the Stone Clan's protection fee was reasonable and fair.

The highest Realm among those descendants was only Dou Zong; if they were to enter the Heavenly Tomb, they would likely be mocked by other Dou Di Clans.

Moreover, they would probably struggle to even protect themselves inside, let alone utilize the Opportunity of the Heavenly Tomb to improve their strength; it would be a total waste of the spots.

Instead of letting them go and be mocked by others, it would be better to give them to the Ling Clan.

The Ling Clan could help the Stone Clan nurture a few Dou Zun; that would be more practical.

In this way, the Ling Clan's original two spots, plus the Stone Clan's two spots, would make a total of four spots.

The corners of Ling Yuan's mouth lifted slightly; this was very good.

Besides taking Zi Yan inside, he could also let Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian go in together, utilizing the Opportunity of the Heavenly Tomb to rapidly improve their strength.

Hmm, although there were two more spots, it still wouldn't be the turn of that little brother who was the second most talented in the Ling Clan.

...

Ling Yuan had originally intended to let Medusa finish refining the entire yellow spring blood crystal and push her Realm a bit higher before taking her to the Nine Serene Yellow Springs to evolve into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

But he suddenly changed his mind.

A Six-star Dou Zun Realm was enough to go down into the Nine Serene Yellow Springs.

Let's send her to evolve sooner.

Evolving into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python sooner would improve her talent.

Ling Yuan pulled Medusa and headed toward the Nine Serenities Earth-Underworld Python Clan.

Medusa asked, "Where are we going?"

Ling Yuan answered simply, "The Nine Serene Yellow Springs; your success rate for evolving into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python will be much higher there."

The cold attribute of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs perfectly matched Medusa's cold-attribute cultivation Physique, making it the most suitable place for her to evolve into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python. This was also the ostensible reason Ling Yuan brought her here.

Only Ling Yuan, the Transmigration traveler, knew that at the bottom of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs, there was a nest of Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python remnants.

Helping Medusa evolve into a Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python was the nine-colored primal stone.

In the original story, what allowed her strength to skyrocket and Breakthrough to the Four-Star Dou Sheng level within just three years wasn't something the nine-colored primal stone could do; it was the Legacy left behind by that nest of Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Pythons.

Arriving at the Nine Serenities Earth-Underworld Python Clan, Yao Ming came to welcome them personally.

Seeing Ling Yuan again, Yao Ming could not help but feel shocked inside.

Ling Yuan's cultivation speed was truly too fast. The last time they met at the wedding, Ling Yuan was still only a Seven-star Dou Zun.

Yao Ming clicked his tongue in secret: How much time had passed, and he was already compressing his Dou Qi!
