After that, Ling Xiaoyao took Ling Xiao and Ling Linlang back to the Floating Palace. As for the other members of the Ling family, in the arena, they watched him leave with envy and awe.
If Ling Xiao had performed poorly, they would have naturally criticized him. But now, Ling Xiao's performance had completely won them over. Even Ling Linlang was willing to be Ling Xiao's maidservant.
"Do you think Ling Zhao will get back at him?" a young man from the Ling family asked with interest.
"I don't think so. We all saw how the Great Ancestor killed Jiang Rou just because she looked at the Divine Son with hatred in her eyes. In that case, do you think Ling Zhao will want to get on the Divine Son's bad side?" The others shook their heads.
Everyone knew that Ling Xiao had the backing of the Heavens, the Great Dao. Anyone on his bad side is inviting the Heavens wrath on their head. He had a bright future and was destined to be the Ruler of the World as evident in the Heavens way of address.
If Ling Zhao offended him because of Jiang Rou, he must be definitely out of his mind.
As for Ling Xiao, he did not care about Ling Zhao at all. If he had come back to get back at him for Jiang Rou, he would be more willing to fight him, though he doubt that would be happening not after everything that had happened.
"Is this the Mystic Palace?"
Ling Linlang looked at the awe-inspiring and magnificent palace in front of her with a hint of excitement. Although her status was high, she was not qualified to enter the Mystic Palace.
"Be casual. Don't be so formal." Ling Xiao waved his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majes.... Young Master." Ling Linlang bowed to Ling Xiao and smiled sweetly.
"If it were anyone else, it would be difficult for Ling Linlang to even look at them, but I can easily take her as my maidservant. Is this power and status?" Ling Xiao was secretly speechless.
Reincarnation was indeed a skill.
"By the way, Dad, Linlang will be taking care of my daily needs in the future. You don't have to come here every day. You can finally have some time with Mom." Ling Xiao said as he turned around.
"Hey, you little brat..." Ling Xiaoyao harrumphed and glared at him.
Ling Xiao looked back at his father with a piercing look. "Hehe, Thank you. I'm off." Ling Xiaoyao ran away causing Ling Xiao to chuckle.
Over the next few days, Ling Xiao spent his time gaining enlightenment of the Divine Elephant technique. The Divine Elephant technique wasn't just a cultivation of immense strength. It was also a manifestation of all sorts of martial techniques.
For example, it could evolve into a supreme offensive technique, the Nether Divine Spear.
After all, primeval godmammoths could suppress the boundless hells, absorb the demonic energy of hell and transform it into a spear that could pierce through anything.
It could also evolve into the strongest defensive technique, the GodKing Shield, which was indestructible. He could even condense Demon Wings, and with a flap of his wings, he could travel through the void at top speed.
As Ling Xiao's comprehension deepened, more abilities woukd be unlocked in the future.
In the end, he could even evolve into a true Divine Elephant, summon the gates of hells and summon countless demons to fight for him.
"This technique is really useful," Ling Xiao complimented.
Although the Ling family had many supreme body-tempering techniques, they were not as comprehensive as the Divine Elephant overpowering technique in terms of functionality.
"I'm really curious to know what reward I'll get after checking in at Grandpa's birthday banquet." He had heard from Ling Xiaoyao that eight years later, the Ling family would hold a thousand years birthday banquet for the Twentieth Ancestor.
At that time, many forces in the Universe, including the Ancient Sects and Families, would be invited to the banquet. Even Ling Xiao's identity as the holder of the Imperial Seal would be announced at the Thousand Years birthday banquet. This banquet would be Ling Xiao's first appearance in the world.
"I'm looking forward to the Thousand Years birthday banquet... and I have a feeling that I would meet someone special that day." Ling Xiao smiled faintly.
"By the way, why hasn't Ling Zhao made a move yet? Did he really guve up? I was really hoping I could have a fight." Ling Xiao muttered to himself, feeling a little disappointed.
At the same time
In the Ling family, on a spiritual island floating in the void.
The ten prodigies of the Ling family were treated differently from ordinary geniuses. Each of them had their own independent mansion.
They were either heavenly palaces, floating islands or blessed grotto-heavens.
This spiritual land was the palace of the tenth Profigy of the Ling family, Ling Zhao.
On the spiritual island, there was a mountain peak that looked like a sword piercing into the sky, exuding a sword aura that was like the might of the heavens.
At the foot of the mountain peak, the maidservant of Ling Zhao had bben waiting there for a few days.
"Why hasn't young master come out of seclusion? I really hope His Majesty has forgotten about the incident of Jiang Rou, that useless bitch."
BOOM!
At that moment, a huge wave of energy suddenly came from the top of the mountain. A terrifying storm of magic swept across the sky, forming a tornado.
"It's Young Master Ling Zhao. He has broken through again!"
On the spiritual island, some of Ling Zhao's followers were alarmed. They all looked at the mountain peak.
On the mountain peak, a young man in a black robe with a sword on his back stepped down from the void. Generally speaking, after the Nascent Soul and reaching Tribulation Transcendence realm, one would be able to fly and walk on air. It was obvious that this black-robed man was already a Tribulation Transcendence Realm master.
He was about 25 or 26 years old. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his balck eyes were deep. His temperament was like a divine sword that could cut through the heavens. It was intimidating.
This black-robed young man was the tenth Prodigy of the Ling family, Ling Zhao. It was rumored that on the day of his birth, all the swordsmen in the Ling family unsheathed their swords on their own and pointed at Ling Zhao's birthplace.
He was born with an Sword Heart Lotus, though a supreme ranked physique but still leagues below the Innate Sword Heart possessed by Ling Xiao. This physique granted him peerless talent in swordsmanship and martial arts.
It was because of these talents that Ling Zhao rose to prominence and became one of the ten Prodigies. Although he was ranked at the bottom of the Prodigy Roll, he was still not to be underestimated.
There were tens of thousands of young geniuses in the Ling family, and it was extremely difficult to become one of the Ten Prodigies. Not everyone was like Ling Xiao who was born high and had an extraordinary status.
"Ling'er, what's the problem? Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
"Young Master, congratulations on a successful cultivation. But something serious happened during your seclusion. Miss Jiang Rou has been killed by the Great Ancestor for disrespecting the Divine Son." Ling'er quickly summarized.
"Hmm, I heard the Heavens' word. So Jiang Rou deserved to be killed for offending the King. Let go. I need to pay His Majesty a visit and apologize in her behalf." Ling Zhao said coolly.
