Back home, everything was as usual. Ling Tian began his own cultivation. What was worth mentioning was that Ling Tian's worries were indeed correct. A large number of demonic beasts had swarmed out from the Demonic Beast Mountain Range and attacked a nearby town. The entire town had been wiped out, and the town had been reduced from a town with a population of over 100,000 to ruins. Furthermore, he heard that there was a red lion that was close to 200 feet in length among the demonic beasts. Ling Tian guessed that it must be the parents of the Blazing Flame Lion.
The reason was simple. He wanted to take revenge and vent his anger. He wanted to find the old man who killed his son.
Seeing this, Ling Tian didn't leave the city and continued to cultivate. He would occasionally head to the other side of the mountain range, but he never went to the Blazing Lion's mountain range again.
The reason why he did not leave this small town that was not far from the Demon Beast Mountain Range was actually very simple. It was because his grandfather's condition was getting worse and worse, and he often rested in bed.
Just like that, another year passed. On this day, grandfather Ling suddenly called Ling Tian into his room. Looking at Ling Tian's increasingly mature face, grandfather Ling smiled and patted Ling Tian's head with his trembling hands,""Xiaotian, you should leave tomorrow. Grandpa can't send you to a high-level institution. You can go by yourself and search the house.”
"Grandpa!" Seeing this, Ling Tian cried out sadly.
Grandpa Ling smiled and said," Little Tian, you don't have to be sad. I believe that you will definitely become a true expert. Don't worry about me. This day will come for everyone. You still have a long way to go. You have to be strong. Only by being strong can you become a true expert.”
After saying that, he took out two items and handed them to Ling Tian,""Little Tian, this beast skin was brought back by your father before he died. Your father found this in an ancient ruin. It was also at that time that your parents died there, leaving you without your parents since you were young. This storage ring was left behind by our ancestors and has been passed down from generation to generation. However, no one in our generation has ever cultivated it, so I have never opened it before. I don't know what's inside. If you want to open it, you need the blood of our clan's young experts. Now, I'm handing it to you. I hope you can open it.”
As for Ling Tian, he was extremely shocked when he received the beast skin and storage ring. This was because the beast skin was extremely similar to the one that the old man had given him.
And that storage ring was actually a very rare high-grade storage ring, and it was even a high-grade mid-grade storage ring. But why had he never heard of his grandfather having such a storage ring?
This storage item had undergone special treatment. If he had not come into contact with too many spirit rune arrays during this period of time, he would not have recognized it. Just as Ling Tian was about to raise his head to ask something, he heard his grandfather cough twice and say,""Little Tian, I know you have many questions, but don't ask me, because I don't know much either. I only know that our clan was once glorious. As for why you've become like this, you'll have to wait until you open the storage ring. Grandpa wants to rest alone and think about how to face your parents.”
After saying that, Grandpa Ling waved his hand, indicating that Ling Tian could leave. Seeing this, Ling Tian's eyes turned moist and he opened his mouth to say something, but he did not make a sound. Instead, he whimpered and returned to his room.
After returning to his room, Ling Tian took out his storage ring and looked at it. As for the fact that he did not take the beast skin, it was simple. After all these years, he had no idea what was on the beast skin. He had flipped through many ancient books but had never seen the words written on it. Perhaps it was just a scribble, or perhaps the secret was not on the beast skin but within it. Therefore, he decided to look at the storage ring first. He might be able to find something, but it looked no different from an ordinary storage ring.
However, no matter how much battle energy or mental energy he poured in, he could not open it. Thinking back to his grandfather's words, Ling Tian still wanted to give it a try. Thus, he sliced open his left index finger with two fingers of his right hand and dripped a drop of blood on it.
All of a sudden, the storage ring glowed brightly and Ling Tian felt the Dou Qi in his body rushing towards the storage ring. In just a short while, half of the Dou Qi had entered the ring and Ling Tian almost threw the storage ring away. Fortunately, the storage ring slowly stopped after absorbing a little more, and the light also faded.
On the other hand, Ling Tian broke out in cold sweat. There were no experts in the city, and it was currently the time when people were sleeping soundly. If not, he would really cause some trouble. Ling Tian didn't immediately check the storage ring, but went to the roof to take a look at his surroundings. He then used his spiritual energy to scan the surroundings and saw that there was no one around. Only then did Ling Tian nod his head and return to his room.
He didn't hurry to check the storage ring. Instead, he first recovered his battle energy and waited until it was completely recovered before checking the storage ring. The storage ring was very large, about 10,000 cubic meters, and there were a few piles of things inside.
The first thing that entered his eyes was a pile of books that looked like a small mountain. They were very ancient books, and on the other side was a pile of shiny things. There were Purple Crystal Coins, Demon Crystals, and Spirit Stones. I don't know how many there are.
On the other side, there were very few. There seemed to be a letter on a table, a jade slip, and a few ancient treasure-level mystic weapons. Among them, there was a longsword that was an intermediate ancient treasure. Ling Tian did not touch anything else but took out the letter. However, when he took out the letter, he saw a familiar beast skin.
Ling Tian did not bother about it as he was anxious to understand the reason behind everything, so he opened the letter and read it,"
How many generations of disciples am I, Ling Yunxiao? I don't know, how many generations do you think? Thinking back to how glorious our Ling Family was in the ancient times, we are now so weak and our bloodline is withered.
My lifelong wish was to restore the glory of my Ling Family, but in the end, I realized how laughable it was. My talent was only average, and no matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't see the sky.
Even though I might seem extremely powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, in reality, my strength was only considered average in the Pantheon Continent. In the eyes of those experts, I was still like an ant. I was just an ant that had yet to embark on the path of true cultivation.
How can the glory of my ancient family be realized? I don't know much about the ancient times, but I know that when the clan falls, not only will the opposing forces oppress the clan, but even the people of the branch clans will oppress the clan.
The sect continued to decline, and many things in the clan no longer existed. However, they left behind things that they thought were useless. These ancient books contained pure ancient things, historical sites, ancient words, as well as strange stories about cultivation and the understanding of Dao from the generations of experts in the clan.
However, these were all purely boring ghost stories or some cultivation chants. There were very few experiences mixed in. As for the pure cultivation experience and Dou Techniques, magic, martial arts, and even cultivation methods, they were all taken away.
How pathetic! In the family, the people who were left behind had also been tampered with. Not to mention their aptitude, even those who could cultivate were pitifully few. It was no longer the era of geniuses in the family in ancient times.
But I will not give up. I hope that you will also give up. Remember our past glory and work hard. "I'll leave all the things I left behind and the things left behind in the clan to you. I hope you can continue my last wish and not wait until your lifespan is exhausted but still can't make a breakthrough.
I hate it! Although I have a thousand years of lifespan, it still can't allow me to live forever. May you reach the peak of your cultivation…
Next was a brief account of Ling Yunxiao's life, and finally, Ling Yunxiao added a few words,'I hope you can use it with care'.
After Ling Tian finished reading it, he smiled and said,""Family? You have no idea what kind of clan I am, and you would never know that the Ling Clan is no longer a clan. There might still be other members of the ancient Ling Clan, but I'm the only one left in the main branch. Moreover, I have no interest in reviving any clan. My goal is only to become stronger, to continuously become stronger.
However, I finally understood the path of cultivation.'The first realm is the basic nine realms, from Qi Refinement to Saint Realm. The second major realm had five levels: Profound World, Heavenly Spirit, Extreme Emperor, Life and Death, and Destruction. The third major realm was Nirvana, Yin-Yang, Sky Shattering, Void Shattering, and Limitless. The fourth realm was difficult! No matter how vast the Pantheon Continent was, how many people could enter the fourth realm? No matter how ancient the Pantheon Continent was, how many people could reach the fourth realm?”
After a long while, Ling Tian finally calmed down and thought to himself," So what if I'm at the fourth realm? My heart is higher than the sky.
Shaking his head, he didn't think about this anymore. Instead, he looked at the treasures in his storage ring. Not to mention the small mountain of books, there were nearly ten billion Purple Crystal Coins, and then there were Spirit Stones. The low-grade ones were thirty million, the mid-grade ones were five million, the high-grade ones were only two thousand, and as for the top-grade ones, there were only three. There were no Spiritual Crystals above the Spiritual Stones. (Spiritual Stones and Spiritual Crystals are divided into top-grade, high-grade, middle-grade, and low-grade. The ratio in the middle was 100, but it was rarely changed from that. A low-grade spirit stone was equivalent to 100 Purple Crystal Coins.
There were also a lot of demon crystals of various levels. In terms of value, if these demon crystals were exchanged for purple crystal coins, it would be a lot. Just two high level eight demon crystals were worth more than ten billion. As for the other level eight demon crystals, there were more than thirty of them.
In addition, there were also many other grades. If all of them were added up, it would probably be as much as 60 to 70 billion purple crystal coins. This did not include the value of those jade slips and ancient treasures. They were truly wealthy enough to rival a country. However, it was not surprising when one thought about how Ling Yunxiao was a peak Dou Sheng. This further showed that the wealth of the Pantheon Continent was in the hands of a few people.
Looking back at the table, Ling Tian took out the beast skin and a few jade slips. "Another piece. How many pieces of beast skin are there? What is recorded in the bottom of the Dao?" Ling Tian picked up the beast skin and muttered to himself. As he spoke, he looked at the ancient words on the beast skin. After looking at it for a while, he could not see anything. Instead, he was dazzled by it.
Shaking his head to clear his mind, he no longer cared about the beast skin and picked up a jade slip. After a long while, Ling Tian finally put down the jade slip. This was obviously a high-grade jade slip that contained many cultivation techniques, demonic manuals, and martial arts. The highest cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the Heavenly Spirit Realm was a Heaven Grade cultivation technique, and there were also many pill recipes and formation patterns. Even the Extreme Yang Pill recipe that Ling Tian wanted the most was there, and there were also quite a few Heaven Grade pill recipes.
Ling Tian held back his desire to look at it and picked up the second jade scroll. This jade scroll contained Ling Yunxiao's cultivation experience and knowledge of the continent. Holding back the urge to read it carefully, Ling Tian picked up the last piece of jade that was glowing with a red light and stuck it between his eyebrows. This time, Ling Tian could not help but withdraw his soul force after a long while. This jade slip recorded that Ling Yunxiao's main cultivation technique,'Golden Blaze Split', was a mid-tier Saint Realm cultivation technique (above Yellow, Mystic, Earth, and Heaven, Saint, Origin, and Spirit). It had to be said that this made Ling Tian very tempted.
Originally, Ling Tian's cultivation technique was only at the high grade of the Black Grade. Although it was not outdated to him, it would not be long before he could use it. However, he could not be in a rush to change his cultivation technique. Thus, Ling Tian placed the jade slip back into his storage ring before keeping it in his robes. However, Shan Tian seemed to have recalled something and took out an ancient jade pendant from his storage ring. He then wore it around his neck before putting the storage ring back into his robes.
It wasn't that Ling Tian didn't want to wear it on his finger, but he knew that a man's wealth would bring him trouble. If he left it outside like this, what would he do if others recognized the grade of the storage ring?
Looking at the white jade pendant on his chest, Ling Tian could not see anything else. There was nothing on it except for an Eastern Divine Dragon, but Ling Yunxiao said it was the most precious thing of the ancient Ling family. Other than the patriarch and the heir of the patriarch, no one knew of its existence.
However, after taking a few more glances, Ling Tian could not see anything special about it. It was just an ordinary jade pendant with a slightly better quality and a lifelike dragon carved on it. Other than that, it was just a jade pendant that could be seen everywhere.
However, Ling Yunxiao naturally had his reasons for saying so. Thus, Ling Tian decided to wear this so-called 'family heirloom' on his body and no longer cared about it. Ling Tian took out two pieces of beast skin and the beast skin that had been with him for many years.
Just as Ling Tian was about to compare them, the three beast furs suddenly disappeared in a flash of white light.
