Night, in the study room of the Ling family master
More than a dozen fiery red candles were scattered around the study room, illuminating the entire study room extremely brightly.
Books with animal skin covers or advanced paper covers were neatly arranged on the bookshelves around the study room. Under the light of the fire, they exuded the aroma of ancient books that symbolized knowledge.
In the entire main study room, only in front of the innermost bookshelf are a set of antique wooden office desks and chairs, and a set of wooden sofas and tea tables. Apart from this, there is nothing else in the entire main study except bookshelves and books. Judging from the detailed textures and fine carvings on the tables, chairs, sofas and tea tables, the prices of the three are probably no less than several thousand gold soul coins.
At this time, under the light of candles, there were four figures sitting on the wooden sofa. Looking closely, one can see that the two familiar figures among the four figures are Ling Yongsheng and Ling Bingtian who shocked the entire ice city at noon.
As for the other two figures, one looked almost the same as Ling Yongsheng, looking like a middle-aged man.
However, compared to Ling Yongsheng, his body is even stronger. A head of light black hair grows on the man's head, trimmed into a short bob commonly seen in the Jibing Army. A pair of wide-open tiger eyes, a square face with thick eyebrows, a majestic appearance, and the faint aura of a superior person on his body. All this proves that the man is the eldest son of Ling Yongsheng, the biological father of Ling Bingtian, the current Lord of Jibing City, the current Duke of Jibing, and the current commander-in-chief of Jibing Army - Ling An, who is also a cultivator. In order to reach level 92 of this generation of Extreme Ice Douluo, the martial spirit is also the Ling family's inherited martial spirit, the Cold Soul Chain Dragon Spear.
The other figure was a little different from Ling Yongsheng and Ling An, but he looked very old.
The long pale hair flows down from the top of his head and reaches the old man's waist. The sense of old age and vicissitudes of life is vividly displayed on his wrinkled face, and his body is slightly stooped and no longer upright. The dark skin exposed outside the blue brocade clothes is still covered with age spots. No matter from which angle you look at it, this old man is no longer young. Only from the light that could be seen when the narrowed eyes were opened occasionally, could one see that the old man was still in good spirits.
This one is the other of the two Titled Douluo of the Ling family before Ling Yongsheng returned. Ling Yongyi, the chief elder of the Ling family, is also the younger brother of Ling Yongsheng. His cultivation level has also reached the realm of level 92 Titled Douluo. Dragon Douluo's martial spirit is an ice cloud dragon, a dragon species that lives in the sky all year round. When in the clouds, its flying speed can briefly exceed the speed of sound.
Shortly after Ling Bingtian and Ling Yongsheng returned home, Ling An and Ling Yongyi also returned to Ling Mansion with a head. That head belonged to Zhao Tong's accomplice Lao She. That guy's martial spirit is the Soul-Eating Snake, which specializes in cultivating by devouring people's souls. His cultivation has reached the level of a 91st-level Titled Douluo.
If he were to provoke an ordinary titled Douluo, he might not be his opponent, but obviously he and Zhao Tong had chosen the wrong person to provoke. Under Ling Yongyi's pursuit in the clouds, Ling An's powerful attack, and the cold environment around Jibing City, the old snake had no way to go to the sky and no way to the earth. In the end, his head was blown off by Ling An in a fierce battle in a snowy mountain range, ending his sinful life.
With the death of the old snake, Ling Bingtian was completely relieved. The Ling family had sent people to contact people who had been persecuted in other parts of the mainland before, and it was confirmed that Zhao Tong and Lao She were acting as two persons. No one else followed them, and there was no organization. They just shot and moved to another place. Fighting twosome. Once the old snake dies, he no longer has to worry about other evil soul masters coming to seek revenge for them.
After the two returned, the Ling family immediately held a large dinner to celebrate the lifting of the alert. After all, Zhao Tong's target is children. Although his main target is definitely Ling Bingtian, who is rumored to be a child genius, no one knows whether he will take action against his own children. It's better now. Zhao Tong died at the hands of Ling Yongsheng, and the danger was completely eliminated.
This dinner was also held in a very lively atmosphere. Many important figures in the Ling family took out some treasures from their homes, such as fine wine that had been stored at home for more than ten years, the meat of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast that was recently hunted, etc. Many soul masters were so drunk that even if they could use their soul power to dispel the alcohol in their bodies, they still chose to indulge themselves for the night.
The atmosphere of this dinner reached its peak after Ling Yongsheng announced in public that Ling Bingtian had awakened the ultimate martial soul of the Ice Crystal Phoenix and his innate full soul power.
Everyone in the Ling family present was shocked at first, and then became uncontrollably ecstatic. They raised their wine glasses high and let out various cheers and screams. The Ling family, who came from a military family, and the nobles in the interior of the Tianhun Empire obviously celebrated differently. Their way of expressing happiness was more wild.
Ling Bingtian's extraordinary talent is extremely rare even in the Ling family, and it can even be said to be the first time it has appeared in thousands of years.
Generally speaking, there will be no more than ten soul masters in the Ling family who have awakened the Cold Soul Chain Dragon Spear in the past hundred years. Others will awaken other martial souls for various reasons, and most of them are ordinary martial souls.
And even among the soul masters who have awakened the Cold Soul Chain Dragon Spear, not every soul master can awaken the tyrannical innate soul power. Thousands of years of experience have told the Ling family that innate levels six and seven are the norm for cold soul chain dragon gun soul masters. Being able to awaken an innate eight-level cold soul chain dragon gun soul master is enough for the Ling family to vigorously cultivate and become one of the high-end forces of the next generation of the Ling family.
If a ninth-level innate soul master can be awakened, the Ling family will usually directly establish him as the next generation head of the Ling family. At the same time, all efforts were made to train him to become the next generation of the Ling family to carry the tripod. This is the case for Ling Yongsheng and Ling An. Both of them quickly achieved the title Douluo realm after awakening to the ninth level of soul power innately under the vigorous training of the Ling family.
Needless to say, if a supreme genius with innate soul power appears, the Ling family will implement the highest degree of protection and cultivation to ensure that he grows up and protect the Ling family for hundreds of years. Soul masters who have awakened their innate soul power will naturally not be weak in spirit. Their ability to restore soul power is far superior to other soul masters, which also makes them more powerful than other soul masters of the same level.
Two thousand years ago, there was such an ancestor. After he became a titled Douluo, he stayed in Jibing City for three hundred years. The Dou Ling Empire's army did not dare to set foot within Jibing City for three hundred years. Even after his death, the Dou Ling Empire's army still did not dare to set foot on the border for nearly a hundred years.
Now, the Ling family finally has another genius soul master who has awakened full of innate soul power. How could this not make everyone in the Ling family excited and ecstatic.
The entire dinner party finally came to an end under Lingjun's organization. Otherwise, with the appearance of the men of the Ling family at that time, they would probably have been drinking until midnight.
Finally, after a rest and a sumptuous dinner, Ling Bingtian was led by his father Ling An to the office where he usually worked. Ling Jun, who had said hello in advance, did not stop her. She knew that there was something important to tell Ling Bingtian, and it was most likely the key to the Ling family's long-term prosperity. As virtuous as she is, she would not insist on approaching someone at such a time to make others feel uncomfortable.
Inside, Ling Yongsheng and Ling Yongyi were already sitting there making tea and waiting. Ling Yongsheng left the table shortly after announcing Ling Bingtian's news, otherwise there would be some kids below who couldn't let go and cheered.
Ling Yongyi naturally followed Ling Yongsheng and left the table with the same idea. He is one of the few people in the Ling family who is of the same generation as Ling Yongsheng, and he is also Ling Yongsheng's younger brother. The most important thing is that he knows exactly what Ling Yongsheng is going to say next. As for this matter, as one of the highest combat powers in the Ling family, it was necessary for him to come and participate in this matter.
After Ling Bingtian sat firmly on the wooden sofa, Ling Yongsheng raised a cup filled with tea with one hand and handed it to him.
Ling Bingtian quickly took the tea cup with both hands and thanked him, then placed the tea cup in his hand on the tea table, sat upright and waited for Ling Yongsheng to speak.
When Ling Yongsheng saw this, he was no longer vague. With a wave of his hand, a soul power shield enveloped the entire main study.
Ling Bingtian's heart froze, and he once again realized the importance of the upcoming conversation. Although he could not fully perceive the scope of the soul power shield, Ling Bingtian could clearly feel that there was an extra layer of soul power around him.
Sure enough, the first words Ling Yongsheng said surprised him, "Xiaotian, the martial soul you awakened is probably not just the ultimate martial soul, but the soul power is also more than the innate full soul power." Although it was a question, but Ling Yongsheng used a determined tone.
Ling Bingtian was shocked. He didn't expect the old man to see it. At first, he didn't even think about it. Later, when he thought about the novels he had read in his previous life, he realized that his martial spirit was probably not just the ultimate martial spirit.
He nodded, and while responding to Ling Yongsheng, he also shocked Ling Yongyi and Ling An. Above the innate full soul power? What is that realm?
Ling Yongsheng stopped talking nonsense. A crystal ball that looked larger than the blue crystal ball at noon suddenly appeared in his hand and he handed it to Ling Bingtian.
Ling Bingtian placed his right hand on the crystal ball knowingly and began to follow the suction of the crystal ball to output the soul power in his body.
The crystal ball quickly lit up in the eyes of the four people, one point, one side, half of the ball, and the light finally stopped at a mark a little more than halfway.
Except for Ling Bingtian, the three elders with many years of experience all saw at a glance the level of soul power displayed by the crystal ball.
Level 15 soul power! Innate level fifteen soul power!
"What is going on?" Ling An, the youngest of the three, did not hold back. The scene in front of him was too beyond his cognitive limit. Whether it was from books or in the real world, he had never heard of anyone whose soul power could break through the tenth level during innate awakening.
Although Ling Yongyi on the side did not speak, his doubts and curiosity could be seen from his protruding eyeballs and the expression on his face.
When Ling Yongsheng saw that the light in the crystal ball no longer extended upward, he also took back the crystal ball in his hand. He showed a happy expression with satisfaction and said proudly: "I usually tell you to read more books, but you still don't listen. . Look, you haven't suffered the loss of ignorance now." After saying this, with a move of his right hand, an ancient book with an animal skin cover was lifted into his hand from the shelf on the side.
Ling Yongsheng gently opened the book with his calloused right hand and turned to one of the pages. There was a golden humanoid image painted on it. Behind the humanoid, there were three pairs of wings. Under the image, there was an ancient saying and the following words for future generations. translation.
Ling Yongyi and Ling An stepped forward to find out. They first glanced at the image and then began to read the text below. Ling An read slowly: "In ancient times, there was a clan of angel martial souls. They were blessed by God and awakened the divine martial soul. Their innate soul power could reach level 20. Hiss——"
Even though he had become a titled Douluo, Ling An was still extremely surprised. What is the concept of level 20 innate soul power? This means that the soul master can absorb a century-old soul ring of about eight hundred years at the first soul ring. If his physical fitness is properly trained, he can even try to absorb a thousand-year soul ring at the first soul ring! The most important thing is that this kind of soul master starts at the level of a great soul master, and it can almost be said that he will definitely enter the realm of super douluo in the future. Plus the words God’s blessing!
Ling An didn't dare to think any further. Perhaps this kind of soul master was born to become the highest level. So even though my son does not have an innate soul power of level 20, is it possible for him to inherit the secret power...
Thinking deeply, Ling An's eyes flashed with the same enthusiasm that Ling Yongsheng showed in the carriage before.
Ling Yongyi, who was on the side, seemed to have thought of something. His eyes were also burning, even more so than Ling An's. He said with the same excitement: "Second brother, is this what you are saying?"
Ling Yongsheng looked at the reaction of the two people and smiled lightly. He first waved in response to Ling Yongyi, and then said: "Now you know why I am so excited. My grandson Bingtian has the appearance of becoming a god!" His tone was calm, but But it feels like a decisive blow.
Ling An and Ling Yongyi couldn't help but nodded. Only Ling Bingtian was surrounded by three elders, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. Grandpa's words reminded him of a joke from a classic work in his previous life. It used to sound like I just wanted to laugh, but now when I become the protagonist of the meme, I feel really embarrassed.
"Okay, now that you understand Xiaotian's situation, I will tell you the truth." Ling Yongsheng said with a smile on his face, looked at Ling Bingtian sitting aside, and said in a serious tone: " Xiaotian, what we are going to tell you now is very important. After you leave this door, even if your mother asks you, you must not tell her. Do you understand what I mean?" Ling An and Ling Yongyi also sat upright. On the side, he looked at Ling Bingtian with an encouraging look.
"Yes, I understand, Grandpa." Ling Bingtian also put away the strange expression on his face. His experience in his previous life and his education in this family made him understand that what Ling Yongsheng was going to say next would probably mean that the Ling family could The reason why it has been strong for thousands of years.
"Okay, what I want to tell you is that our family is not only the Jibing Duke family of the Tianhun Empire. The Ling family's more important identity is that we are actually the Guardian Clan." Ling Yongsheng said in a calm tone Amazing words.
'Guardian Clan? Ling Bingtian's face showed just the right amount of surprise and confusion, but after hearing Ling Yongsheng's words, he had some guesses in his heart.
Ling Yongsheng did not continue to wait. He continued: "Xiaotian, you must have heard the story of the first generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters when you were a child. What I want to tell you is that the rumors are not wrong. These seven ancestors were born thousands of years ago. , they have all ascended to the God Realm and become gods!" After saying this, he paused, and then continued: "And the leader among them is the core figure of the first generation of Seven Monsters, the conspiracy to destroy the Spirit Empire, and the final figure. Tang San, who achieved the position of Poseidon, received help from the Guardian Clan that supported Poseidon when he was young. Our Ling family is the Guardian Clan of the Ice God in the God Realm."
'Sure enough,' Ling Bingtian thought secretly in his heart. The people on Poseidon Island were the protector clan of Poseidon. As for Tang San whom Ling Yongsheng mentioned later, Ling Bingtian didn't have much to say. This senior time traveler from 10,000 years ago had nothing to say about his actions during the Dou Yi period. But in the following Dou Er period, the things he did could almost be described as not personal matters.
On the other hand, Ice God, this name doesn’t sound like the name of some high-level god? Wouldn't it be just a second-level god? However, in order to match his grandfather's passionate speech, Ling Bingtian still showed excitement at the right time.
As expected, Ling Yongsheng nodded with satisfaction after seeing Ling Bingtian's excited look, and then continued: "Ajun must have told you about the legend of the Ice God when he was a child. His divine power envelopes everyone on the continent. A cold corner. At the same time, He also protects every northern people who believe in Him." His words were full of reverence and fanaticism for the Ice God.
After all, unlike other ordinary believers, the Ling family is the guardian clan of the Ice God. Naturally, the senior leaders of the Ling family will respect the Ice God far more than other believers.
Then, Ling Yongsheng told Ling Bingtian how the Ling family became the guardian clan.
After a full quarter of the candle burned, Ling Bingtian finally filtered out the unnecessary information from Ling Yongsheng's mouth and learned the information he wanted to know.
