CHAPTER 2
Ding!
"Master, the check-in system was tailor made for you. You can check in any locations but it is limited to three times a day. The rewards are tiered as 1-star to 10-star. For your first check in, the Floating Island has been marked. Do you want to check in?"
"Yes"
"Ding! You have checked in at the Floating Island and received Primordial Chaos cultivation technique."
An influx of information rushed into Ling Xiao's brain and he immediately achieved mastery in the technique.
"This technique is really powerful. I'm looking forward to receiving more techniques like this"
At this time, Ling Zhantian slapped his forehead and said, "That's right, I haven't given my precious grandson a name yet. How about we call him Ling Xian? It means he will be greater than heavens."
Ling Xiao, who was being held in his arms was speechless. Is his grandfather trying to make him the enemy of the Heavens, While the name sounds domineering, he still wanted to use his own name.
Ling Xiaoyao, Ling Xiao's father shook his head and said, "Father, that's not right. My son cannot be compared to the heavens Afterall he is already greater than the heavens. It's too pretentious."
Ling Xiao sighed and thought, "Which kind of family do i have?"
At that moment, a weak voice was heard all of a sudden. "How about we call him Ling Xiao? He's still a baby, why put pressure on his head. I only hope my child can be carefree and live his life his way"
A beautiful woman with a pale face, who was lying on the bed, said. She was Ling Xiao's birth mother, Shi Shuxian.
"Good, very good. Father, let's use the name" Ling Xiaoyao exclaimed.
Ling Zhantian and the others could not ignore Shi Shuxian's suggestion.
That was because Shi Shuxian's identity was not that simple. She was the daughter of the patriarch of the Shi Family of Huangtian Immortal realm.
There are three immortal realms in the universe and countless mortal realms. The immortal realms are Xiantian Immortal realm ruled by the Ling family, Huangtian immortal realm ruled by the Shi family and Lingtian immortal realm ruled by the Archean royalty.
Shi Shuxian is the holy maiden of the Shi family that ruled Huangtian immortal realm. They are as powerful as Ling family if not more powerful.
"Alright, we'll call him Ling Xiao then" Ling Zhantian nodded. However he seemed to have thought of something and sighed.
Ling Xiao's eyelids twitched when he saw that. He wondered what made his grandfather sigh.
"Father, don't worry. My son is going to be alright. We received his message, didn't we? He told us he was in a secret realm and he is safe. He is going to come back home if he comes out" Ling Xiaoyao consoled from the side.
"Hmm, I just hope my eldest son is alright", said Shi Shuxian.
"I trust my eldest grandson. He's Afterall the War King Ling Wuhui." Ling Zhantian regained his smile.
Ling Xiao blinked his eyes and secretly remembered how his grandfather addressed him.
War King Ling Wuhui.
Seems he have a formidable elder brother.
"If the news of Xiao'er possessing the Primordial Chaos Body gets revealed, I'm afraid it will cause a sensation in the universe. You should know that the Archean royalty and its forces secretly want to harm the Ling family." an elder of the family said meaningfully.
"Do you mean that we should use some means to cover up Xiao'er divine body fluctuations?" Ling Zhantian asked.
The other elders nodded in agreement. The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be destroyed by the wind.
Ling Xiao was now the treasure of the Ling family. Nothing could go wrong with him.
"Since when did the descendants of the Ling family learn to be secretive? Can't they even protect a divine body?"
At that moment, a cold snort was suddenly heard from the sky. The entire Ling family was shocked. Countless eyes were cast above the Floating Island.
"That fluctuation..."
"What a powerful aura. It's the Great Ancestor who was sleeping in the ancestral hall. He just climbed out of his coffin."
"Haha. Even the Great Ancestor was alerted." Countless members of the Ling family gasped from all directions.
That was the great ancestor of the Ling family. Many members of the Ling family would never have the chance to meet the great ancestor.
However, Ling Xiao was able to alert the great ancestor as soon as he was born. Many people revealed envious expressions.
In the Floating Island, Ling Zhantian and the other elders heard the sound. They were also shocked and hurried out of the Floating Island.
A huge spatial fissure appeared in the void above the Floating Island. A thin gray-robed figure appeared.
It was an old man in a gray robe. His head and body were still covered in dust, as if he had just climbed out of the ground. However, his shriveled body seemed to contain a power that could shake the world.
It was as if he had trampled all the realms under his feet.
It's the Third Ancestor. Greetings, Third Ancestor.
Ling Xiaoyao and the others hurriedly bowed.
The gray-robed old man was a true Great Ancestor of the Ling family. He had been buried in the Ling family's ancestral ground for countless years.
He would only awaken when the Ling family faced a major change or when the family is as at a critical juncture of life and death. Ling Xiaoyao and the others did not expect that Ling Xiao's birth would not just attract the Twentieth Ancestor, Ling Zhantian who was the former patriarch and Ling Xiao's grandfather but also their Third Ancestor.
The Third Ancestor figure's flashed and appeared in front of Ling Zhantian "You are also awake. I guess His birth didn't awoke me alone but quite a few old men"
"Well, you don't expect me to miss the birth of my grandchild, do you" Ling Zhantian smirked in a crooked way.
The Third Ancestor didn't say anything and took Ling Xiao in his arms. His eyes were as deep as the galaxy as he looked at Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao blinked. He did not cry or make a fuss. Instead, there was a trace of curiosity in his eyes.
"Is this the Great Ancestor of the Long family? What a powerful aura. It's even more powerful than Grandpa's" Ling Xiao thought to himself.
The Third Ancestor could not help but laugh and said, "Well..well, the Ling family has another Outlier. You idiots actually want to overshadow this child's brilliance."
"Ling Erlong, I'm just afraid that someone will harm my grandson in the future. Wuhui is still outside and nowhere to be found. I don't want anything to happen to Xiao'er." Ling Zhantian said.
"Hmph, I would like to see who dares. If those old farts dare to put aside their pride and attack Xiao'er, I don't mind starting an Immortal war. I'll turn the world upside down and blood will flow for billions of miles. And about Wuhui, that brat sent me a message that he was fine, if not I would have destroyed the so called forbidden place that dared to keep my Ling family divine son captive."
The Third Ancestor's attitude was extremely overbearing.
Ling Xiaoyao and the others secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The Immortal war was a war started by Immortal Orthodoxies like the Immortal families and ancient sects. This war could turn the universe upside down and cause billions of people to bleed. It had been a long time since an immortal war started in the Xiantian Immortal realm.
"I hereby announce that this child will be the Holy Child of the Ling family since Wuhui is already the Holy Son. All cultivation resources will be given to him. Even if we have to pile them up, we will pile them up until he matures enough to take over the family in the future!" The Third Ancestor declared.
Ling Zhantian and the others nodded in agreement. Only a fool would not cultivate the Primordial Chaos Body, the ultimate physique of the Heavens.
"Furthermore, I'll give this child the Imperial Seal of the family...." the Third Ancestor continued.
"What?" The elders were shocked.
If it was just to make him the Holy Child of the Ling family, it would be fine. After all, it was just a symbol of status. However, the Imperial Seal was different.
The Imperial Seal gives the holder ultimate authority in the family even over all the ancestors of the family. Ling Wuhui was the holder of the Imperial Seal before but no one complained because he was capable of holding it but giving it to a newborn baby will spark complaints from the other prodigies of the family.
"Third Ancestor, this is a little inappropriate. It will spark chaos and discord among the other prodigies of the family...." Ling Xiaoyao probed.
Every single echelon cultivator had to go through countless trials and tribulations in order to obtain their status. Even Ling Wuhui passed several tribulations in order to become the Holy Son of the family.
Ling Xiao was given the Imperial Seal as soon as he was born. What would other geniuses think?
"If they are dissatisfied, let them compete for it in the future. We'll talk about it after they win over the child." The Third Ancestor said with a flick of his sleeve.
Judging from his tone, it was obvious that he was very confident in Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao sighed silently after hearing that. The Great Ancestor had high hopes for him, and saw him in a different light. There was also his big brother's secret and the hidden dangers of the Ling family.
It seemed that he really couldn't be low profile.
