With Ling Aoran's monstrous talent, the big shots of the Ling family were filled with excitement. The super clan that was once glorious a thousand years ago had fallen into such a miserable state due to various reasons.
The Ling Family used to stand at the peak of the entire Divine Continent. They were worshiped and looked up to, and no one dared to provoke them. Now, the Ling Family could only move their entire family to this barren Fenshui Town and live a life of lingering death.
After a while, the head of the family, Ling Jifan, lowered his head and thought for a while. He looked up at Ling Aoran and said in a serious tone,"Aoran, with your current age, I shouldn't be telling you this. However, your current strength is already at the peak of the Spirit Concentration Realm.”At this point, Ling Jifan paused and continued,
"A thousand years ago, our Ling Family was the only super family in the Divine Continent. That's because our Ling Clan had as many high-level powerhouses as a rainforest back then. Most importantly, our ancestor, the master of the Ling Clan, was the only powerhouse in the Divine Continent who had reached the Sage level in the past million years!!!”
Hiss ~!
Ling Aoran could not help but suck in a breath of cold air when he heard this shocking news. Sage powerhouse! That was a legendary existence. Who would have thought that the ancestor of the Ling family had actually reached that level of worship? This was really too surprising.
In Ling Aoran's mind, the Grand Elder of the Ling family who was in seclusion all year round was already considered a super expert. It was said that he had already entered the initial stage of the intermediate stage and was an expert of the Earthly Creation Realm who was at least at the fourth transition. Such an existence was enough to make him look up to him for a long time, let alone a Sage. Just thinking about it was unbelievable.
After the shock, Ling Aoran's heart instantly burned. He asked excitedly,"Then what happened after that? Where did the ancestor go? Why did the Ling family have such an expert and end up in such a state? Had the ancestor gone missing or…fallen?”Ling Aoran's voice became very careful, afraid that her words would make Ling Jifan unhappy.
"Fallen?"
Before Ling Jifan could say anything, Ling Batian interrupted,"Can a Sage powerhouse fall so easily? Their existence could no longer be viewed with common sense. It could be said that they had already exceeded the scope of human knowledge. They were existences that coexisted with heaven and earth and were immortal.”Ling Batian's tone was filled with disdain. What a joke. If a Sage powerhouse died so easily, how could he still be called a Sage…
"Yes, I am! Sage powerhouses, powerhouses of that realm have already transcended the boundaries of life and death. God-like figures are not something we can understand.”Ling Jifan continued Ling Batian's words, his expression yearning for that realm.
"Then where is our ancestor now? Why is our Ling family so desolate?”Ling Aoran scratched his head curiously and asked.
"Where is the ancestor? Yes, I also want to know where my ancestor is, but no one can tell me where he is! He had been missing for many years! According to the family records, the servants of the Ling Family were all orphans adopted by their ancestors. After many years of nurturing by their ancestors, those orphans became powerful figures that shook the world. These people were the original members of the Ling Family because their powerful strength laid the foundation for the glory of the Ling Family. Every one of them was loyal to the Ling Family. After experiencing the baptism of blood and war, their ancestors brought them to establish the Ling Family. And this was the initial form of the Ling family.”
" According to the records, there were only two people in the ancestor's family. The number of his wife and son never increased. According to the genealogy, the ancestor's last appearance was about seven hundred years ago. The ancestor took his wife and son away, and no one knew where they went. Many outsiders say that our ancestor abandoned our Ling family, but the elders in the family still firmly believe that our ancestor will return one day. This belief has always been in the hearts of our Ling family.”
At this point, Ling Jifan paused for a moment, and then his expression suddenly became very ferocious. He said fiercely,"As for why the Ling Family ended up in such a state, it was all because the entire continent joined forces to attack the Ling Family! It was them! It's all those bastards!" Ling Jifan's voice was filled with hatred.
"Ah ~!"
Hearing this, Ling Aoran exclaimed and looked at Ling Jifan in disbelief.
"The entire continent? How could this be! Why did our Ling Family become the public enemy of the entire continent? Why are they doing this to our Ling Family?”Ling Aoran really did not understand what the Ling Family had done wrong to gather all the experts of the entire continent to attack them.
"Why? Because they fear our Ling Family! Because they are afraid of the power of our Ling Clan! Because they are afraid that our Ling Family will encroach on their interests, because they don't want to see our Ling Family dominate the entire continent!”Hearing Ling Aoran's question, Ling Jifan roared crazily.
After a moment of madness, Ling Jifan calmed himself down and said,"Ten years after our ancestor disappeared from the continent with his wife and son, the Heaven Defying Palace led the experts from all the powers in the continent to attack the Ling Family's manor! Back then, the person who had led the Ling Family's experts to fight back was the old butler who had followed the ancestor for the longest time. His strength was also extremely tyrannical, and many experts had died at the hands of this old butler. However, a good tiger could not withstand many wolves. Under a series of fierce attacks, the old butler disappeared without a trace.”
"After three days and three nights of war, the Ling Family finally collapsed under the siege of all the forces on the continent. All the experts of the Ling Family died in battle, leaving only a group of weak, old, weak, women, and children. These people became the targets of the entire continent. They had no choice but to retreat from the inner continent and hide in a small town in the outer continent. This is why our Ling family has become like this.”
After saying that, Ling Jifan's expression was very lonely. However, thinking about it, it made sense. A super family that used to stand at the top of the pyramid had fallen to such a state. Anyone who encountered such a situation would not feel good.
"The Divine Continent! Father, why is the continent divided into internal and external?”Ling Aoran looked at Ling Batian and asked.
"This mainland is indeed divided into the inner and outer continents. The people from the outer continents are generally weaker and hover around the middle rank. In the outer continents, some of the stronger factions are usually branches of the powerful factions in the inner continents or existences that rely on them. There were also some who did not do well in the Inner Continent and were often suppressed and bullied. They had no choice but to migrate to the Outer Continent.”Ling Batian slowly explained to Ling Aoran.
" As for the situation in the Inner Continent, it's much more complicated than the Outer Continent. The Inner Continent and Outer Continent are separated by a Forbidden Forest. There are two ways to cross from the Outer Continent to the Inner Continent. The first is the safest and easiest way, which is to use the Teleportation Formation. Of course, these Teleportation Formations are not accessible to just anyone. They are guarded by people. Without sufficient strength and Spirit Stones, one can forget about using the Teleportation Formation to go to the Inner Continent.”
"The second method is to pass through one of the Three Rapscallions and Four Prohibitions, the Forbidden Forest. This requires sufficient strength to support it. Otherwise, you can forget about coming out after entering. " The Inner Continent is said to be an excellent place for cultivation. There are as many mid-level experts as dogs, and high-level experts are naturally everywhere. If I can stay there for a year and a half, I will definitely become an expert of the Earth Creation Realm…" As he said this, Ling Batian looked into the distance with a yearning expression. After a while, a crystal-clear drool hung from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing him like this, Ling Aoran knew that his father was in a beautiful fantasy, so he could only look at Ling Jifan questioningly. Ling Jifan was really speechless about his younger brother. He patted his forehead and said," In the Inner Continent, there is the saying of 'One Palace, Four Pavilions, and Seven Deadly Sins.' They can be said to be the overlords of the Inner Continent, especially the Heaven Defying Palace, which is known as the 'One Palace'. They are a relatively mysterious existence. No one knows who their Palace Master is or how many experts there are in the palace. They only know that the Heaven Defying Palace is an existence that is second only to the Ling family. They are also the greatest enemy of our Ling Family. The Heaven Defying Palace was most likely one of the masterminds behind the Ling Family's annihilation!”
At this point, Ling Jifan's face was filled with killing intent. He was clearly brooding over what had happened to his Ling family, but he still sighed and continued,
"Then there's the 'Four Pavilions'. These four pavilions are made up of Gale, Night Rain, Thunder, and Scarlet Flames. Their intelligence is spread all over the Divine Continent. They are the only intelligence organization on the continent. As long as you pay them a satisfactory price, they can get you any information you want. Of course, it's said that they won't accept any information related to the two forces that are equally famous as them. This doesn't mean that the four pavilions are afraid of them, but there's some kind of agreement. Furthermore, these four pavilions have some connections with our ancestors. They didn't participate in the extermination of our clan, but that was only on the surface.”
"Because everyone on the continent has joined in. It is impossible for them to remain uninvolved and still be able to stand here safely. Finally, there was the Seven Deadly Sins 'faction. Rumors had it that this faction was no weaker than the Heaven Defying Palace. Some even said that the Seven Deadly Sins were now even stronger than the former. The Seven Deadly Sins were made up of the seven Kings, twelve Gold-armored Captains, thirty-six Silver-armored Tiangang Guardians, and seventy-two Earth-killing Copper-armored Warriors. The seven Kings represented Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust! Each of their strength was a mystery. No one knew or had seen it. Perhaps, those who had seen them fight had already turned into dust!”
As Ling Jifan slowly explained the situation in the Inner Continent, Ling Aoran's mind seemed to have opened up a new world, and his soul sublimated! At the same time, he was secretly excited,[This world is actually so interesting. There are actually so many experts. It seems that my future cultivation path still has a long way to go!] One palace, four pavilions, and seven sins…I will definitely meet all of you in the future!
