194: Chapter 189 Linglong and Lingyao's Talent

Besides tricking the Hun Clan, another thing happened recently regarding Qing Lin.

The story goes like this.

One day, after Ling Yuan finished pampering Qing Lin, she cautiously brought up the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

She said that the Heavenly Serpent Mansion wanted to move outside the Spirit Realm's Small World and become a vassal of the Ling Clan.

Previously, the Hun Clan had been wandering through various remote continents, wantonly collecting the blood and Souls of living beings, slaughtering countless Sects, and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had nearly been targeted by the Hun Clan as well.

Therefore, Lv Xia planned to bring the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion to the Central Plains, move outside the Spirit Realm's Small World, and submit to the Ling Clan as a vassal force.

It is better to lean on a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Thus, she conveyed this to Ling Yuan through Qing Lin.

Ling Yuan felt this was just a small matter and agreed without even thinking.

Lv Xia had taught Qing Lin well, so she deserved a reward.

Not only did he agree to let the Heavenly Serpent Mansion become a vassal of the Ling Clan, but he also helped Lv Xia raise her Realm by a small stage.

Qing Lin took this as the Young Master's affection for her, so she served Ling Yuan even more diligently.

Qing Lin went back to help Lv Xia, and on the way, she discovered a ruin.

Qing Lin always kept Ling Yuan's teachings in mind: if there is any cave or ruin, one must go in and take a look.

Consequently, at the core of the ruin, Qing Lin found the Soul of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent.

The Soul of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent was quite helpful to Qing Lin; at the very least, it could raise her Realm by several stars, and it also provided stronger attack methods.

After Ling Yuan learned of this, he only felt it was incredible.

He had sent people to search the continent for this Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent, but they had found nothing.

As it turned out, Qing Lin just took a trip to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and she happened to run into it on the way.

Is this fate?

Regardless, this was a good thing.

And there was another piece of good news: Ling Yuan had broken through another small Realm, reaching the Middle Stage of the One-Star Dou Sheng.

Normal Cultivate certainly could not break through so quickly; Ling Yuan had returned to the Void Lightning Pool to inspect the tempering progress of the five dou sheng puppets, and while there, he absorbed massive amounts of pure Black Demon Lightning on the spot, using that force to improve rapidly.

After this period of tempering in the Lightning Pool, the Puppets had improved significantly.

The Physical Body of the three Dragon King Puppets had become stronger, almost capable of fighting a Four-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse.

Although the other two dou sheng puppets were not as good as these three, they also had varying degrees of improvement.

Now, carrying five fully tempered dou sheng puppets with him, even though Ling Yuan himself was only at the Middle Stage of the One-Star Dou Sheng, he was not afraid at all when facing a Five-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse head-on.

The tactic was also very simple: the Puppets would hold back the Five-Star Dou Sheng, while he would use Soul attacks from behind.

Of course, if he encountered a Six-Star Dou Sheng, he would still have to run.

He could not beat them at all; the main issue was that the gap was too large, and the opponent also had the ability to shift through space.

After personally experiencing the benefits of using Black Demon Lightning to accelerate his Cultivate and temper his combat strength, Ling Yuan simply stayed in the Void Lightning Pool to seclude himself and Cultivate.

He only took the time to return to the Spirit Realm every few days to accompany Ling Long and Ling Yao to avoid being forgotten by them due to long separations.

Days passed peacefully, and time flew by.

Within the Lightning Pool, the sky full of Black Demon Lightning continuously poured into Ling Yuan's body through the pores all over his body. The lightning power washed over his Meridians and solidified his Foundation, while lightning light coiled around his body, and his aura climbed steadily.

At a certain moment, his long-accumulated cultivation finally broke through the Bottleneck, and the Dou Qi in his body erupted with a bang.

The majestic Dou Sheng aura swept across the surrounding large area of the lightning domain, and the Black Demon Lightning floating around was completely dispersed by his aura.

The Bottleneck was completely broken, and Ling Yuan's strength improved again, stepping into the Late Stage of the One-Star Dou Sheng.

After Ling Yuan stabilized his Realm, he slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the abundant and thick power within his body, Ling Yuan was very satisfied.

Ling Yuan raised his eyes to look into the depths of the Lightning Pool and muttered to himself: "The Coming-of-Age Ceremony of the Ancient Clan and the opening of the Heavenly Tomb are approaching; it is time to go back."

He looked towards the airspace deeper in the Lightning Pool, his eyes filled with a bit of reluctance.

He was currently only in the middle area of the outer perimeter of the Lightning Pool, and Black Demon Lightning with even greater power remained in the hinterland.

Ling Yuan roughly estimated that if he continued to seclude himself to Cultivate and was given some more time, relying on the lightning power of the hinterland, breaking through another two stars would be no problem at all.

There was no other way; the Heavenly Tomb was about to open, so he would have to absorb it after returning from the Heavenly Tomb.

The Black Demon Lightning would not run away, but entering the Heavenly Tomb was a rare opportunity.

With that thought in mind, Ling Yuan's figure suddenly turned ethereal, his speed pushed to the limit, crossing the Black Demon Lightning airspace in an instant, and leaving the Void Lightning Pool directly.

...

After returning to the Spirit Realm, Ling Yuan immediately went to visit his two children.

Ling Long and Ling Yao were over a year old and were already able to run around like crazy.

Their frames had grown very well, their figures were a head taller than one-year-olds of the same age, and their physiques were solid and strong.

However, given their age, they were still two soft, cute little beans.

Seeing their father return, Ling Long immediately rushed towards Ling Yuan.

"Daddy!"

Ling Yuan caught his little darling and picked her up.

"Have you been obedient these few days, and did you have fun?"

"Happy! Mom took us to the back mountain today to dig for spirit bird eggs, and we roasted and ate them."

The sister and brother, who inherited Zi Yan's lively personality, ran wild everywhere within the two clans.

Zi Yan felt like she had given birth to a younger version of herself.

Therefore, when she had nothing to do, she often took the two little ones out to play wildly.

Digging bird eggs, catching Demonic Beasts to ride, riding on Zhu Kun—they were proficient in all kinds of play.

The little girl looked around, and upon discovering that Zi Yan was not nearby, she leaned close to Ling Yuan's ear and whispered in a low voice:

"But Mom's cooking isn't as good as Dad's..."

Her small eyebrows curved, and the mischievous look, afraid of being heard by Zi Yan, was simply extremely cute.

"Hahaha, then I'll take you guys in a while, and then I'll roast it for you to eat, okay?"

"Yay!"

When Ling Long and Ling Yao were one year old, they had already shown extraordinary talent.

Others only started Qi Refining and learning to absorb Dou Zhi Qi at the age of three or four.

Ling Yuan was not in a hurry to teach them, feeling that children should play carefree when they are young.

But the sister and brother were clearly not ordinary people; they were the combination of the Ling Clan's God-tier Bloodline and the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline.

Without anyone guiding or teaching them, when the children sat or ran around playing, their Physical Body and Bloodline would actually autonomously draw in the surrounding heaven and earth energy, automatically absorbing and refining Dou Zhi Qi!

That's right, it was their bodies absorbing it themselves; Ling Long and Ling Yao finished their Cultivate without doing anything.

What was even more surprising was that the purity and total amount of Dou Zhi Qi absorbed by their bodies autonomously far exceeded the results of children struggling to absorb it.

Only a few months had passed, and the two little beans hadn't done anything, just played, and while playing, they had reached the third stage of Dou Zhi Qi.

It was these two cute little beans that were existences no one dared to provoke in the Spirit Realm and Dragon Island.

Their father was the Young Clan Leader, their grandfather was the Clan Chief, their mother was the Dragon Emperor, and their maternal grandfather was the Nine-Star Dou Sheng Old Dragon Emperor.

Born with the most top-tier background on the continent, pampered and protected by the entire clan, Elders of the clan and the Ancient Dragon Clan members all yielded and gave them preferential treatment; their starting family background and talent were fully maxed out.

A proper overpowered protagonist start!
