487: The Supreme Elder summoned him

Yang Lingchen returned to his residence with Su Yuyan, then skillfully set up a bonfire.

"Sister Yuyan, what do you want to eat?" Yang Lingchen asked casually.

"Just make what you're best at."

Su Yuyan said angrily, thinking to herself, "scoundrel, pervert, what kind of person is he? A spineless man."

At this moment, she was quite speechless. She had already prepared herself mentally along the way, even feeling a slight anticipation, but she never expected Yang Lingchen to pull such a stunt.

Soon, a large table of delicious dishes was served.

Yang Lingchen took out the red wine he had prepared in advance. "Sister Yuyan, try it quickly. These are all specially made for you."

"Hmm! The taste is not bad."

Su Yuyan took a sip of red wine and said, "Yang Lingchen, how are you so powerful?"

"Actually, that wasn't my true strength. I just used a Secret Technique," Yang Lingchen said.

"Secret Technique? That shouldn't be! General Secret Techniques have great side effects, but you don't seem to be affected at all. And even with a Secret Technique, it shouldn't be possible to increase your strength so much, right?" Su Yuyan asked doubtfully.

"No choice, who told me I'm a Genius? Naturally, I'm different from others," Yang Lingchen said with a faint smile.

"I've seen many Geniuses, but I've never seen anyone with such an exaggerated ability to challenge those beyond their Realm."

"By the way, what are your plans next?" Su Yuyan asked curiously.

"First, I'll raise my Cultivation. Then, I'll strive to get a good ranking in the Ten Great Factions Ranking Battle," Yang Lingchen said, taking a sip of wine.

"What about the future?" Su Yuyan asked again.

"Of course, it's still about improving my strength!" Yang Lingchen thought for a moment and said.

"Why are you so eager for strength?" Su Yuyan looked at Yang Lingchen curiously.

"Because I want to find my family," Yang Lingchen's tone was slightly heavy.

"Where is your family?" Su Yuyan asked curiously.

"The Lower Realm, a world called the Divine Realm," Yang Lingchen said in a deep voice.

"You're from the Lower Realm?"

Su Yuyan's eyes showed a hint of shock. "Then how did you get here?"

"It's a long story, no need to mention it."

Yang Lingchen sighed.

It had been almost three years since he came to the Realm of the Gods, and he still missed his family very much. Although his Cultivation was still low, he always firmly believed that he would definitely be able to return to the Divine Realm in the future.

"The Spatial Barrier of the Realm of the Gods is blessed with the power of the Heavenly Dao. For you to return to the Lower Realm, it will be much more difficult than you imagine," Su Yuyan said.

"No matter how difficult it is, I will not give up."

Yang Lingchen's tone was extremely firm, because in the Divine Realm, there was a group of women who deeply loved him waiting for him. So no matter how great the difficulties, they could not stop his determination to return home.

"There are women you love there?"

Su Yuyan's beautiful eyes quietly gazed at Yang Lingchen.

"Mm... mm!" Yang Lingchen nodded.

"You playboy, you must have many women, right?" Su Yuyan chided playfully.

"Cough... cough...!"

Yang Lingchen coughed lightly and said, "Not that many!"

The two chatted for a while longer before Su Yuyan left Yang Lingchen's residence.

In the following days, Yang Lingchen Cultivated in his residence, occasionally going out for some fresh air.

On this day, Wang Xiaotian came to Yang Lingchen's residence.

"Senior, why do you have time to visit me?"

Yang Lingchen enthusiastically greeted Wang Xiaotian and poured him a cup of tea.

"The Grand Elder wants to see you."

Wang Xiaotian was straightforward and directly stated his purpose.

"The Grand Elder is looking for me?" Yang Lingchen took a sip of tea and asked, "Senior, do you know why the Grand Elder is looking for this Junior?"

"It should be about the Ten Great Factions Ranking Battle. This time, our Wentian Palace will need you to lead the team," Wang Xiaotian said with a smile.

Subsequently, under Wang Xiaotian's lead, Yang Lingchen arrived at a magnificent mountain peak.

This was a towering, cloud-piercing, and beautiful mountain peak, covered with various exotic flowers and plants. Especially the Spiritual Qi here, it was much denser than other peaks, simply a paradise on earth.

Under Wang Xiaotian's lead, Yang Lingchen arrived at a small lake near the summit.

He saw an old man with white hair and beard fishing by the lake.

"Grand Elder, Yang Lingchen has been brought," Wang Xiaotian respectfully saluted.

"Greetings, Grand Elder."

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen also followed suit and saluted. After all, the other party was of advanced age and an Elder of the Sect, so the proper etiquette could not be neglected.

"Xiaotian! You may go busy yourself!"

Chen Daotian smiled kindly, then beckoned to Yang Lingchen, "Little Fellow, come over and fish with this old man."

"Yes, Grand Elder."

Wang Xiaotian saluted again, then left the mountain peak.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen also found a specially made fishing rod from his haotian jade space, then sat down beside Chen Daotian and began to fish.

"Little Fellow, I didn't expect you to be quite mysterious! You actually have a Ghost Cultivator whose strength far surpasses your own," Chen Daotian said.

"Ghost Cultivator? What Ghost Cultivator?"

Yang Lingchen looked bewildered, as if he knew nothing.

"Alright, stop pretending in front of this old man."

Chen Daotian said with a profound look, "During that great battle, a terrifying Ghost Cultivator Aura emanated from you. At that time, your body was clearly controlled by a Ghost Cultivator, but this old man saw that you seemed quite cooperative, so I didn't expose you."

"Cough... cough! Senior is indeed formidable, nothing escapes your Dharma Eye."

Yang Lingchen coughed lightly and immediately flattered him.

"Little Fellow, stop flattering this old man," Chen Daotian said with a smile. "Do you know why this old man called you here this time?"

"Senior, please speak plainly. As long as this Junior can do it, I will not shirk my duty," Yang Lingchen said.

"You must have heard about the Ten Great Factions Ranking Battle!" Chen Daotian said, "What are your thoughts on this?"

"This Junior has always been low-key, only wishing to peacefully improve my Cultivation. As for such competitive matters, this Junior truly has no interest."

Yang Lingchen looked like a good little boy.

"Little Fellow, stop pretending in front of this old man. Just say what benefits you want," Chen Daotian said, annoyed.

Yang Lingchen gave an awkward smile and said, "Senior, you're being too polite. Although this Junior has no interest in competitive matters, if Senior you speak, this Junior will certainly not shirk my duty.

As for benefits! Senior, just give me a symbolic amount. After all, with your status, anything coming from your hands can't be bad."

"You little rascal, take it!"

Chen Daotian smiled helplessly and took out a mysterious Energy Crystal, handing it to Yang Lingchen.

"Senior, what is this?"

Feeling the pure energy within the Energy Crystal, Yang Lingchen's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"This is called a divine origin crystal. It's a relatively rare mineral, and the energy it contains far surpasses divine origin stones."

Chen Daotian paused, then continued, "Don't underestimate this small piece. If you can refine it, it will be enough to raise your Cultivation to the Xuanzun Realm."

"Senior, you are too kind. The Ten Great Factions Ranking Battle concerns the honor of our Wentian Palace. Even if you didn't say anything, this Junior would definitely fight for the Sect's honor. Giving a gift seems a bit too formal."

Yang Lingchen put on a righteous demeanor, saying this as he put the divine origin crystal into his haotian jade space.

"Little Fellow, this old man advises you not to refine it for now. It's best to refine it right before the ranking battle begins. This way, your strength will be boosted more effectively."

Chen Daotian reminded him.

"Senior, does this divine origin crystal have any effect on Xuanzun Realm Cultivators?" Yang Lingchen asked curiously.

"Of course it's useful. If you consume it when you're in the Xuanzun Realm, it can also raise your Realm by a minor stage," Chen Daotian said... To be continued!
