32: True spirit fusion, memory awakening

“Oh, you all think so highly of my Ling Family? Aren’t you afraid of offending the Limitless Sect and the Wang Family of the capital by pledging allegiance to my Ling Family at this time?”

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, surprised that these six major families would be willing to become subsidiary families of the Ling Family at this moment. He looked at Chen Hong and the others in the main hall with surprise, then smiled and said.

“I don’t believe in the Ling Family; we believe in you.”

“Ever since Clan Leader Ling took over the Ling Family’s affairs, the Ling Family has undergone earth-shattering changes, and its strength has become so powerful.”

“Moreover, I believe that a person with such capabilities would not make such a huge mistake. Furthermore, I see that Clan Leader Ling shows no signs of worry at all, which is enough to indicate that Clan Leader Ling has his own preparations.”

“Since that’s the case, what do we have to be afraid of?”

Hearing Ling Feng’s question, Li Junfei spoke first, not waiting for Chen Hong to reply.

“Hahaha, Clan Leader Li truly lives up to his reputation as a wise man. However, to put your minds completely at ease, you should lead your families to become subsidiary families of the Ling Family after my Ling Family has resolved the Limitless Sect matter.”

“But this won’t take long; the Limitless Sect is a trivial matter. Although you don’t need to become subsidiary families of the Ling Family now, you can start preparing in advance.”

“Thank you, Clan Leader Ling, for considering us. On behalf of the other clan leaders, I also assure you that once the Ling Family resolves the Limitless Sect matter, our six major families will become subsidiary families of the Ling Family.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong was extremely excited and immediately said loudly to Ling Feng with humility.

“Good, in that case, this Clan Leader will await your esteemed presence then.”

“Everyone, this Clan Leader has other matters to attend to shortly, so I won’t keep you.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong cupped his hands and respectfully said to Ling Feng.

“Please, make yourselves at home.”

Seeing this, Ling Feng nodded, stood up, cupped his fists, and said calmly.

Along with Ling Feng’s series of respectful gestures towards them, Chen Hong and the others’ goodwill towards the Ling Family immediately rose several Ranks. According to intelligence gathered by their Family scouts, the Ling Family was exceptionally lenient towards its subsidiary families, only requiring a certain amount of Cultivation resources to be paid monthly. Sometimes, for weaker subsidiary families, the Ling Family would even dispatch Family Disciples to provide guidance.

Soon, Chen Hong and the others, guided by Family Disciples, walked out of the Ling Family Residence.

Compared to before, the six people’s faces were completely devoid of their previous sorrow, replaced by a feeling of being unburdened.

Ever since learning that an Earth Martial Realm expert had taken action and annihilated the Feng Family, the clan leaders of the six major families, including Chen Hong, had been restless after receiving the news, always fearing that the Ling Family would suddenly attack and annihilate their own families.

But now, everything was resolved, and the few of them felt incredibly relieved… Three days later.

This night, for the other people in Qingyun Town, might have been an ordinary night, but in a courtyard of the Ling Family, an extraordinary event was taking place.

That’s right, this small courtyard was the one where Ling Zhan resided.

Ling Xuanji, after taking the Three-Revolution Nirvana Pill given by Ling Feng, woke up from his Cultivation late on the second night. His originally shattered spiritual body and severely damaged Meridians had already been repaired under the powerful Medicinal Pill effects of the Three-Revolution Nirvana Pill, and had even undergone a certain degree of transformation.

However, his cultivation, which had been crippled, could not be restored, and he had to Cultivate anew.

After Ling Xuanji, who was aware of everything, woke up, he eagerly threw himself into Cultivation, hoping to recover his previous cultivation as quickly as possible.

Late at night, Ling Xuanji woke up from his Cultivation for the day. After a simple wash, he dragged his exhausted body to bed and lay down to rest.

Due to his injuries having just healed, he had been Cultivating continuously all day, and he soon felt a wave of drowsiness. His eyelids became increasingly heavy, and he slowly drifted into sleep.

Not long after, an anomaly suddenly occurred.

In Ling Feng’s mind, a disc-shaped object was continuously emitting blood-red Qi, surging towards Ling Xuanji’s limbs, continuously nourishing them.

After an unknown period, a golden light flashed within the disc, and the blood-red Qi instantly vanished without a trace. It quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

At the same time.

However, earth-shattering changes were occurring in Ling Xuanji’s Sea of Consciousness. The golden light was continuously undergoing Fusion with it.

After an unknown period.

“Swish…”

Suddenly, Ling Xuanji, who had been in a deep sleep, abruptly sat up, covered in sweat, gasping for breath, as if he had experienced something terrifying.

“This is…?”

Looking around, Ling Xuanji’s eyes widened instantly, his face filled with shock.

“I have merged with a trace of my future self’s true spirit and completely awakened the memories of a lifetime I experienced in my later life.”

He then checked his body for any abnormalities. It was fine not to check, but this check startled him greatly. His Physique, which had already undergone a great transformation, had undergone an even further transformation after merging with a trace of his future self’s true spirit.

The surprise before his eyes came too suddenly, even causing Ling Xuanji to have the illusion that he was still in a dream.

He couldn’t help but extend his right hand and fiercely pinched his thigh.

“Hiss…”

In an instant, Ling Xuanji couldn’t help but gasp, feeling a searing pain instantly sweep across his entire body.

“It seems this is not a dream.”

Carefully sorting through the awakened memories of his past life in his mind, Ling Xuanji couldn’t help but fall into self-doubt again. According to his past life memories, his shattered Physique and crippled Meridians should not have been healed at this point in time, let alone undergoing two consecutive transformations as they are now.

Precious Medicinal Pills like the Three-Revolution Nirvana Pill were definitely not something the current Ling Family could produce. Moreover, he learned from his father and mother that there was an Earth Martial Realm expert guarding the Family now. All of this happened after his cousin, the Clan Leader, took over the Family’s affairs.

It seems his cousin is definitely not as simple as he was in his past life. However, from what he has learned so far, he is extremely good to the Ling Family members. As long as it can enhance the Family’s strength, he generously provides a large amount of resources, truly considering the Family’s development…
