CHAPTER 3
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
News about Ling Xiao was still circulating throughout the Ling family.
Everyone knew that Ling Xiao's birth had alarmed the Third Ancestor, who had personally granted him the identity of the Holy Child. As for him being the holder of the Imperial seal, Ling Xiaoyao had purposely kept it a secret.
This was because Ling Xiaoyao was going to extend invitations to all top rate forces in the universe for Ling Zhantian' thousand years birthday banquet. He would then announce Ling Xiao as the holder of the Imperial seal. You need to know that the holder of the imperial seal has the highest authority in both the Ling and Shi family, making the leader of two of the immortal realms.
This was to make Ling Xiao famous and also give him a chance to grow in peace for eighteen years.
However, if the other geniuses of the Ling family were dissatisfied, they would have to let Ling Xiao deal with it himself.
Ling Xiao did not mind this. He was still confident in his talent. Eighteen years was enough.
"Xiao'er. after the nine stages of the Qi condensation realm comes the nine stages of the Foundation establishment stage. When you have completed the establishment of your foundation, you begin to form your core and to do that, you have to break your foundation. There are different colors of core that determines your talent. From the lowest to the highest is white, blue, purple and golden. But its said that there is still one color of the core but it has never appeared before. It's the black core."
In a hall in the Floating Island, Ling Xiaoyao was explaining cultivation to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao consolidating his real for three years and officially started cultivating when he was seven years. He's now in the ninth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, about to form his core. He broke through to the peak of foundation establishment realm six months after he started cultivating but his father stopped him from further breaking through so he could grow a good core.
All kinds of sacred medicines and elixirs were placed in front of Ling Xiao every day like cabbages.
The cultivation of the Primordial Chaos body consumed the most resources. However, the Ling family is the ruler of a immortal realm so they could afford Ling Xiao's consumption of resources.
After three years of accumulation, Ling Xiao felt that he could break into the Core formation realm any time.
"Father, how long does it usually take to break through to the Foundation Establishment and Core formation realm?" Ling Xiao asked
Ling Xiaoyao pondered and said, "Typical geniuses start cultivating at the age of seven and it takes them three years to reach the peak of Qi condensation realm, five years to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment realm and ten years to reach the peak of Core formation realm. Exceptional geniuses would not use up to eighteen years but it will take them more than ten years to reach the peak of core formation realm if they cultivate from scratch"
"How many years did big brother use?" Ling Xiao asked
Ling Xiaoyao was surprised but answered "Wuhui used seven years to reach the peak of core formation realm from scratch"
"Wow, seven years. He sure is talented." Ling Xiao thought to himself.
Ling Xiao calmed down and began to cultivate. What he practiced was the Primordial Chaos cultivation technique he got from his first check-in. Speaking of the system, he has not checked in for ten years and chose to accumulate check-ins so he can get a huge reward at once on his grandfather birthday banquet. Yes, he want to check in on that day.
Rumble...
Ling Xiao's body seemed to be rumbling with divine thunder. Silver qi and blood filled his body. Everything that he had accumulated over the past three years was unleashed at this moment. At this moment, if one were to look within himself, one would see that Ling Xiao's foundation was crumbling and forming a core.
"This can't be..." Ling Xiaoyao, who was standing at the side, was stunned. He had barely finished speaking, and his son was about to break through?
Even a novel wouldn't dare to write something like this!
However, just as Ling Xiaoyao was in shock...
Ling Xiao's core finished forming and starts changing colors.
BOOM!
Purple
Golden
Black!
Ling Xiao's qi and blood start transitioning from silver to black. He only felt that his physical body had been strengthened several times. Endless black qi and blood surged and his strength instantly soared by fifty times, making him fifty times stronger that those in the same realm.
First stage!
Second stage!
Third stage!
Fourth stage!
Fifth stage!
Sixth stage!
His breakthrough finally slowed down after he reached the sixth stage of the core formation realm.
Ling Xiaoyao was stunned in the spot and murmured absent-mindedly.
"Damn, it took me two years to break through the first stage to third stage back then, but this boy broke through six stages in one hour.."
Comparisons were odious.
Ling Xiaoyao felt like he was a good-for-nothing in front of his son. Other than being older and having a higher cultivation level, he couldn't compare to Ling Xiao in any way.
"Son, you are making me feel useless" Ling Xiaoyao lamented.
"hahaha, dad. I'm afterall your son" Ling Xiao laughed.
"By the way, how's the preparation for Grandpa's birthday banquet going?"
"Haha, my grandson is concerned about my birthday?" Ling Zhantian materialized and laughed out.
"Father"
"Grandpa"
"Hmm, good, good. You are already in the sixth stage of core formation realm. You are really my grandson. A ten year old core formation realm. Haha, I can just imagine the faces of those old fogies" Ling Zhantian laughed out in joy
"Thanks for your compliments. SO, grandpa I want to test my strength. I heard there is an ancient stele in the center of the Island. Please, can i go test my strength?" Ling Xiao bowed and said.
Ling Zhantian agreed to let him leave the hall to test his strength.
"It's been ten years. I can finally walk out of the Mystic Palace!"
Ling Xiao walked out of the Mystic Palace.
Although he was only ten years old, he already looked like a boy of twelve or thirteen years old due to his divine body.
His jet-black hair was sparkling and glowing, and his skin was translucent as jade. His facial features looked as if they were carved by the Heavens. He was so handsome at such a young age, like a young immortal. It was hard to imagine how handsome Ling Xiao would be when he grew up.
