98: The clan's mythical beast - the Nine-Spirited Black Emperor Bird

Ling Family Residence.

On the summit of the Main Peak.

This place is where Spiritual Qi is most abundant within the Ling Family Residence.

The Ling Family Residence was wreathed in mist at this moment, finally resembling a Cultivation blessed land.

Ling Feng stood with his hands behind his back, continuously surveying his surroundings, his eyes incredibly deep, as if he wasn't looking at the scenery of the Ling Family Residence, but the myriad universes.

Just then, a gust of wind swept past.

It immediately caused the cloak behind Ling Feng to flap loudly.

“Ding…”

“Detecting the Host’s ambition, the System now rewards the Family with ten million Luck Points.”

...A moment later, Ling Feng slowly retracted his gaze, let out a long sigh, and couldn't help but exclaim.

“What?”

“I didn't do anything and just got ten million Family Luck Points for free?”

“System, what’s going on?”

Ling Feng, with a puzzled expression, immediately questioned the System in his mind.

“As the Family Head of the Ling Family, the Host’s every word, action, and movement will affect the Family. As the decision-maker for the entire Family, the Host’s ambition will inevitably influence the entire Family, causing it to undergo earth-shattering changes in the future.”

After hearing the System’s explanation, Ling Feng instantly understood. It seemed his previous imagination had been too narrow.

Ling Feng then didn't dwell on it. With a wave of his hand, he directly retrieved the Enlightenment Divine Tree, born in the Grandmist era, from the System backpack—a special reward he had obtained during his last visit to the Fengling Sect.

The moment the seven-colored glowing Enlightenment Divine Tree appeared, the surrounding space couldn't help but tremble.

Spiritual Qi in the Void Realm continuously surged from all directions, gathering around the Enlightenment Divine Tree. There were even faint purple Qi currents, coming from an unknown source, tightly encircling the Enlightenment Divine Tree, lingering indefinitely.

Seeing this, Ling Feng no longer hesitated. With a gentle push, he directly sent the seven-colored glowing Enlightenment Divine Tree towards the ground.

The moment the seven-colored glowing Enlightenment Divine Tree touched the ground, it immediately sank into the soil.

A moment later, a dazzling light emanated from the spot where the Enlightenment Divine Tree had just disappeared, making it impossible for Ling Feng to open his eyes and look directly at it.

After the light dissipated, a small tree, over two meters tall, stood majestically before Ling Feng.

Faint purple patterns continuously flowed within the branches of the Enlightenment Divine Tree, and its leaves shimmered with a seven-colored halo.

Before Ling Feng could approach to examine it closely, the Enlightenment Divine Tree had already activated its self-protection mode. The Enlightenment Divine Tree, which had been clearly visible just moments before, vanished from Ling Feng’s sight in an instant, completely isolating its aura from the outside world.

Seeing this, Ling Feng still wanted to try using his Divine Sense to see if he could find any traces of the Enlightenment Divine Tree. But he was disappointed; even with all his might, he couldn't detect anything.

A moment later, Ling Feng stopped his search. He thought for a moment and couldn't help but mock himself.

“That’s right. According to the System’s introduction, once the Enlightenment Divine Tree conceals itself, unless it actively reveals itself, even a Divine Martial Realm expert might not be able to find its whereabouts.”

Thinking of this, Ling Feng no longer dwelled on it. His figure flickered, and he swiftly sped towards his courtyard... Just as Ling Feng returned to his courtyard.

The familiar System prompt sounded in his mind once again.

“Ding…”

“Congratulations to the Host for successfully planting the Enlightenment Divine Tree. From now on, the Cultivation talent of the Family members will subtly change. Additionally, the Cultivation speed of Family members will increase by ten percent, and their Cultivation Comprehension Ability will increase by twenty percent.”

“Due to the profound impact of the Enlightenment Divine Tree on the Family, a special reward of twenty million Family Luck Points is granted!”

“Reward: One Divine Body Prodigy.”

“Reward: Town Family Divine Beast, Nine Spirit Black Emperor Bird.”

A series of System prompts continuously echoed in Ling Feng’s mind.

Ling Feng hadn't expected to receive so many rewards just by planting the Enlightenment Divine Tree in the Ling Family Residence.

The abundance of rewards was something Ling Feng had never anticipated.

Ling Feng’s face was filled with joy.

These rewards would not only greatly enhance the overall strength of the Ling Family members, but Ling Feng’s own strength would also be improved to a certain extent.

The benefits of increased Cultivation speed and Cultivation Comprehension Ability go without saying.

In the short term, they might not bring much change to the Ling Family, but as time passed, the terrifying implications of this improvement would be fully revealed.

As for the Divine Body Prodigy Family member obtained this time, it goes without saying that once used, a peerless Prodigy with a Divine Body would appear in his Family within a short period.

How terrifying is a peerless Prodigy with a Divine Body? Such an existence can be said to be a darling of heaven and earth, possessing Heaven-Defying Luck from birth. However, while possessing terrifying Luck, he will also face countless life-and-death crises.

But, once such a Prodigy grows up, he will become an invincible existence capable of dominating the myriad universes.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng immediately became excited, because the stronger the Family members, the more he would gain in the future, and his own strength would also experience a terrifying increase.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng couldn't help but imagine things out of thin air.

A moment later, Ling Feng came back to his senses. With a wave of his hand,

A small, exquisite, pure white bird appeared directly in front of Ling Feng. It fluttered its tiny wings and slowly landed on Ling Feng’s shoulder, utterly adorable. The little bird even very obediently rubbed its tiny head affectionately against Ling Feng’s ear.

Seeing this, Ling Feng first reached out and stroked its white feathers, then stroked the little fellow’s head.

The little fellow was also very cooperative with Ling Feng’s caress, chirping softly a few times.

“Species: Nine Spirit Black Emperor Bird.”

“Rank: Town Family Divine Beast.”

“Cultivation: Juvenile Stage (Zongwu Realm Early Stage).”

“Description: The Nine Spirit Black Emperor Bird, a Town Family Divine Beast, guards the Family’s Luck and continuously strengthens itself by accumulating Family Luck. The stronger the Family’s Luck, the faster it grows, and its strength will become even greater.”

After reading the System’s introduction to the Town Family Divine Beast, Nine Spirit Black Emperor Bird, Ling Feng couldn't help but frown. He looked at the little fellow dozing on his shoulder and murmured,

“This little fellow has the strength of a Zongwu Realm Martial Artist?”
