The Black Yellow Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Earth Emperor’s Book was on the same level as the Emperor Brush’s pure Yang Immortal Spiritual Energy. It was naturally going to be extraordinary once in use!
Back then, the Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Emperor Brush allowed the Physique Tempering Stage Three Ling Yun to breakthrough 15 realms and arrive at Qi Cultivation Level Nine!
That six to seven hours gave Ling Yun an endless amount of benefits!
Now, the Emperor Brush seemed to know about Ling Yun being his host. Because Ling Yun wasn’t the nicest host, it became stingy and seldom provided Immortal Spiritual Energy for Ling Yun to use.
However, the Earth Emperor’s Book seemed to be extremely generous. Up until today, it had released limitless Immortal Spiritual Energy for Ling Yun to absorb three times. Ling Yun was struggling to keep everything in his body, so he was forced to use the spiritual jade box to contain it.
During the tribulation on Turtle Island and the two times that Ling Yun used his fresh blood to irrigate the two Divine Willow Woods. Just those three occasions were enough for Ling Yun to absorb to the brim.
The only pity was that Ling Yun only had one such spiritual jade box. Without the strength of being in the late stages of Qi Cultivation, there was no way Ling Yun could carve the same 49 Spirit Gathering Formations on a jade box like this, even if he could use the Emperor Brush.
Moreover, the Emperor Brush allowed Ling Yun to use it once, but this fella actually used it to cut and sew things! This was simply a waste of a precious treasure!
Ling Lie shouted loudly as tears started rolling down his cheeks! He was so emotional that every cell in his body was trembling!
Shocking aura!
Ling Lie didn’t conceal his Xiantian Realm Level Eight aura, and it surged violently across the courtyard. Ling Yun and Ling Xiu were equally impressed by it!
“Grandpa!”
Both Ling Yun and Ling Xiu got on their knees and kowtowed to Ling Lie.
“Good children! Get up, hurry and get up!” Ling Lie walked calmly towards the two of them and helped them up.
“Grandpa is really happy! Very happy!” Ling Lie had no intention of concealing his happiness as he started repeating his words.
Ling Lie looked towards Ling Yun with a lot of love, and he couldn’t help but give Ling Yun a slight punch on his shoulder. “Little brat, you are truly something!”
Ling Yun could feel the warmth between grandfather and grandson, and he was also feeling emotional. “The reason Grandpa achieved this realm is that Grandpa has been bearing the immense pain while continuing to cultivate for over 18 years. Even though your realm was stuck, the Black Yellow True Qi in your body was simply too robust!”
“Even without these treasures, Grandpa could probably have reached the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Five or Six based on your effort over the years!”
Ling Yun was being honest because that was the truth. When Ling Yun was healing Ling Lie, he could already sense the accumulated True Qi within Ling Lie’s energy center. It wasn’t any less than an expert at Xiantian Realm Level Five or Six.
This was because Ling Yun killed six or seven Xiantian Realm Level Six experts back at the Chen Family’s southern suburbs residence. Before their deaths, they erupted all their fighting spirit, so Ling Yun was naturally aware of their true abilities.
If he hadn’t noticed this, Ling Yun wouldn’t have taken out that many treasures and spent so much effort to help Ling Lie.
At the same time, Ling Yun could also imagine how much pain his grandpa had been enduring in his meridians. Forceful cultivation of the Black Yellow Sutra and endless hard work must have been really difficult, so it wasn’t surprising to see the fruition of his hard work today!
There was never a free lunch in this world! Opportunity only came for those who prepared for it. Ling Lie suffered for 18 years, and the fact that he exceeded his expected realm proved that it wasn’t just luck and that he deserved every bit of this.
Ling Lie’s hard work was deserving of Xiantian Realm Level Eight!
Ling Lie circulated his Black Yellow Sutra and felt the majestic and boundless ocean of Black Yellow True Qi in his body. He could feel his formidable True Qi flowing through his sturdy and strong meridians. Moreover, he was exuding a powerful and imposing aura.
However, he rebutted Ling Yun’s claim, saying, “Nonsense! If you hadn’t cured Grandpa’s old and new injuries and taken out so many magical and treasured medicinal herbs, a 70-year old man would never be able to break through all the way to Xiantian Realm Level Eight so quickly!”
How many treasures did he use?
Tianshan Snow Lotus, Lingzhi Grass, Chinese Knotweed, ginseng, dragon saliva, the Black Yellow True Qi in Ling Yun’s body, the Ling Family’s inheritance Divine Willow Wood, and the Black Yellow Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Earth Emperor’s Book…
After using all of these, there was no reason Ling Lie couldn’t reach the late stages of the Xiantian Realm unless the members of the Ling Family had rubbish qualities.
The Ling Family’s aptitudes were naturally not rubbish. Not only were they not rubbish, they were heaven-defying to a frightening extent and also extremely mysterious. Otherwise, how did a drip of blood from Ling Yun give the Blood Clan The Embrace? And how did he get them to serve him?
“Ah!” Ling Xiu was dumbstruck. While she knew that Ling Lie’s realm had definitely increased, she would never have expected him to reach Xiantian Realm Level Eight just like that!
Ling Lie was at Houtian Realm Level Nine, so in her eyes, every Xiantian Realm expert was the same. She was unable to discern Ling Lie’s realm.
“Grandpa, you… reached Xiantian Realm Level Eight? This…” Ling Xiu was tongue-tied.
“En… and this just feels like the start. I feel that I can go even further…” Ling Lie wasn’t planning on hiding anything from her precious granddaughter.
Of course, he could go even further than he would ever imagine. This was because, in Ling Lie’s energy center, there was still over 70% of the Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Earth Emperor’s Book. He had to absorb this energy slowly in the future.
“Yun Er, what was that last True Qi that you put through my body? Why did it feel so powerful?”
Ling Lie’s lips didn’t move, as he used his telepathy to ask Ling Yun.
“Hehe, Grandpa, it was from the inheritance of our family, also the Black Yellow Energy. However, it’s much purer than the one we cultivate…”
Before Ling Yun attained sufficient strength, he wasn’t going to reveal the secret of his Earth Emperor’s Book and Emperor Brush to anyone. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his own grandpa, but he was worried that it would bring trouble to the Ling Family.
The Embrace of the Blood Clan was simply too terrifying. Up until now, Ling Yun had no idea whether Cao Shanshan revealed the secret that he possessed the Emperor Brush.
Even though Chen Jianwei became a Baron, he was still unable to give Cao Shanshan The Embrace at that point in time. However, his hypnosis ability was another peculiar and strong skill. Cao Shanshan was merely a mortal, so it was probably extremely difficult for her to endure it.
However, Ling Yun didn’t think Cao Shanshan had told anybody about the Emperor Brush. Otherwise, the Chen Family wouldn’t have attacked the Cao Family and Ling Family first. Instead, they would have immediately gone to exterminate Qingshui City and snatch the Emperor Brush from Ling Yun.
At the thought of this, Ling Yun felt relieved and wanted to wait after settling the Ling Family’s matter tonight. He was determined to rescue Cao Shanshan before anything else.
“The Ling Family’s inheritance… I really didn’t expect it to have such a drastic change in your hands. Haha, it really wasn’t a waste of Old Cui’s effort…”
Ling Lie understood the meaning of Cui Lao’s act of kneeling in front of Ling Yun.
Ling Yun was aware of his grandpa’s intention but dared not mention anything about it. He really didn’t want to be trapped here if he chose to become the head of the family. Therefore, he simply smiled and acted dumb.
“Yun Er, I saw that you captured a man and brought him here. Is it Chen Haizhen from the Chen Family?”
“Yes, Grandpa, but he isn’t far from death…” Ling Yun replied.
“Tsk! You cannot let him die! We have to pry open his mouth and get him to tell us where your father is!” Ling Lie grunted, feeling angry again.
“Hmm… How do you get out of this Armillary Sphere Maze Formation?” Ling Lie hurriedly asked.
The white fog around him felt like a small independent world of its own, as it was completely isolated from the outside world. Ling Lie was unable to walk out.
Ling Yun chuckled as he pointed to a few positions and told Ling Lie how to walk out of this Armillary Sphere Maze Formation. Following which, he didn’t stay there for long. He put all his items back into the spatial ring and flew out of the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation.
“Ai… Fifth Brother, bring Big Sister out too!” Ling Xiu followed closely after being left behind by her grandpa and brother.
Ling Yun’s voice seemed to come from another dimension as he said, “Hehe, Big Sister can stay there for a while longer. The natural energy there is very dense and perfect for your cultivation…”
“I’ll kill you, little brat!” Ling Xiu stomped her foot, but there was nothing she could do but calm her excited self down.
“What a precious younger brother… The son of Third Uncle and Third Aunt is really extraordinary…”
Ling Xiu sat down within the Spirit Gathering Formation and started cultivating her Black Yellow Sutra, only to realize that Ling Yun was right. Cultivating there was indeed multiple folds faster than cultivating outside.
Ling Yun walked out of the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation and right into the sixth courtyard. When he walked out, he saw the entire courtyard filled with people kneeling on the ground. They all had the same traumatized expression on their faces!
They were naturally kneeling in front of Ling Lie, and there were two reasons for their immense shock. One was the frightening aura exuded by Ling Lie, and the second was Ling Lie’s full head of black hair. He looked as though he had become twenty years younger!
The current Ling Lie looked 50 years old at most. Even his face looked much younger than Cui Lao.
Everything happened in less than half an hour! Absolutely stunning! He was basically rejuvenated!
Cleansing his meridians and then breaking through to Xiantian Realm Level Eight was enough to help Ling Lie become 20 years younger. Additionally, Ling Lie was also feeling spirited due to the numerous joyous occasions, so he was naturally going to look much younger than before.
“Everyone, gather so that Yun Er can heal all of you…” Ling Lie waved his hands to gather everyone on their knees.
Ling Yun started healing them, and the first person he healed was the most severely injured Ling Yong. Within one circulation of the Yin-Yang harmony balance, he managed to heal all of Ling Yong’s internal injuries.
Ling Yong erupted with spirit as he jumped up from the ground and grabbed Ling Yun’s shoulders. He asked excitedly, “You… Are you really Third Uncle’s son?”
Ling Yun smiled and said, “Replacement guaranteed if I’m not genuine…”
“It can’t be fake! Just your looks alone are proof that you are family! There’s finally hope for our Ling Family!”
Ling Yong’s words were sincere, he went straight to the point.
“Second Brother, we can catch up in the future, so let me heal everyone first…”
After saying that, Ling Yun got up and arrived behind Ling Zhen before saying, “Eldest Uncle, let me heal you next…”
Ling Yun didn’t need to spend too much effort healing the rest. Soon after, he managed to heal Ling Zhen, Ling Yue, and all of the men of sacrifice.
Everyone was stunned and grateful.
This was especially true for the men of sacrifice who started kneeling and kowtowing towards Ling Yun after he healed them. At the same time, their eyes were filled with immense admiration and respect for Ling Yun!
