Chapter 85: Returning Hearts, Everyone Joins the Lingxue Sacred Land

Xueye had been listening to Xue Xing's account, connecting everything together, and discovered that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly had problems.

It seemed that some of their methods were entirely aimed at using the Heaven Dou Empire to deal with Ling Bufan.

The intention was very obvious, and Xueye could naturally see it.

But right now, their Heaven Dou Empire still needed the strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Thus, Xueye said, "Xue Xing, you also made many mistakes in this matter; losing so many Gold Soul Coins will just serve as a lesson."

"Do not make any big moves against Ling Bufan or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for the time being; just investigate in secret."

Hearing Xueye say this, Xue Xing knew that his position as Prince was preserved.

After all, the mistakes in the middle were not all his.

"Thank you, Imperial Brother. This time, I will definitely be extremely careful and investigate them in secret," Xue Xing said.

Xueye seemed a bit weary and said, "Alright, you may return."

"This younger brother takes his leave," Xue Xing said.

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

The Seven Treasure Hall!

Ning Fengzhi, the Sword Douluo, and the Bone Douluo were also discussing some recent events.

"Fengzhi, one wrong step leads to every step being wrong. If we had succeeded, it would be fine, but now the Heaven Dou Empire side is likely starting to harbor suspicions about us," the Sword Douluo said.

"Indeed, we have offended both Ling Bufan and the Heaven Dou Empire at the same time," the Bone Douluo said. However, despite saying this, he was still somewhat preoccupied with the 100,000-year Azure Dragon Spirit Beast at Lingxue Academy.

After all, the soul bone of this Spirit Beast was absolutely a perfect match for him.

Ning Fengzhi said, "I know, but this matter, which was one hundred percent foolproof, actually went wrong."

"There were so many burial locations, and they were extremely hidden, yet they were all found within one hour. Sigh..."

"And there is this 100,000-year Spirit Beast, and the support of the Spirit Hall's Title Douluo."

"Have you noticed? The status of these two Title Douluo seems to be inferior to Ling Bufan, or even those two children."

"It is strange. What is the Spirit Hall trying to do?"

The Bone Douluo said, "Forget what they are trying to do; this matter cannot just end like this."

"Correct!" The Sword Douluo also nodded and said.

Ning Fengzhi said, "Cultivate and become stronger. We cannot have further conflicts with them for now; we must even take the initiative to make peace."

"Make peace?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "We have offended both sides now, but I know that for Xueye, he hopes even more that we stand together with them."

"As for Ling Bufan and his group, these people are simply too mysterious; we cannot act rashly."

"The next period of time will be for cultivation. If both Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone can reach Hunshiliujiji, then with my assistance, we will have the confidence to confront them."

The Sword Douluo said, "Good! Fengzhi, you are right. Actually, I have already reached the peak of Jiuwujiji. Give me half a year, and I will definitely reach Hunshiliujiji."

"And me, I will definitely reach Jiuwujiji within half a year," the Bone Douluo said.

"Good!" Ning Fengzhi nodded and said.

"I will also try my best to find a way. If I can solve the problem with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, then we will no longer fear anyone."

"Also, there is one more thing we can do now."

"Spread the news that a 100,000-year Azure Dragon has appeared at Mingling Mountain. As long as this 100,000-year Spirit Beast is there, someone will come to covet it."

"We cannot let them live in peace at Mingling Mountain."

"As for the academy, continue to establish it. Actually, I have wanted to establish one for a long time; now is the opportunity to gather talent for my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

At Mingling Mountain, now called Lingxue Mountain.

At this moment, Lingxu, Qian Renxue, and Ling Bufan had returned to Lingxue Academy.

The lights were turned on in the academy playground.

There were twenty-one people standing here in total; after the day's battle, some Spirit Masters who had been hired had already run away.

Therefore, only six people plus the five children remained from the recruitment Lingxu and the others had conducted.

The original four, such as Feng Ming, were all there, and the two who came later were the two with the best character among those who followed.

One man and one woman, with soul power at level 63 and level 51 respectively.

Lingxu said, "Welcome to those who could stay. You have made the most correct choice of your lives. Although I have decided not to establish an academy, you can still stay, and the benefits I mentioned remain unchanged."

Feng Ming asked in confusion, "Since we are not establishing an academy, and there are such good benefits, what exactly are we doing?"

Lingxu said, "Because I am establishing my own sect, the Lingxue Sacred Land."

"You saw the Azure Dragon today; a 100,000-year Spirit Beast is just one of the guardian Spirit Beasts of our Lingxue Sacred Land."

"Could there be two more?" Everyone looked at Lingxu in surprise.

Even Qian Renxue did not know exactly how many guardian Spirit Beasts Lingxu's Lingxue Sacred Land had.

"Come out, all of you!" Lingxu said.

Lingxu felt relatively at ease with the people who could stay at this moment.

Moreover, Lingxu was confident that he could persuade them to join.

As soon as Lingxu finished speaking, Boom...

Four massive figures streaked across the sky.

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise appeared almost simultaneously.

If it were not for the fact that this playground was large enough, it would not have been able to contain these four at all.

"Greetings, Holy Master, Vice Saint Master," the four guardian Spirit Beasts said in unison.

Four 100,000-year Spirit Beasts, each one of them extremely extraordinary.

Qian Renxue asked in surprise: "Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird?"

Lingxu said: "That's right, it is them. Joining forces together, they are the best below God Level. Aside from Gods, no one can defeat the four of them combined, including Qian Yeye!"

Whoosh...

Everyone let out a long sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Only then did Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue realize where their son's confidence truly came from.

With the help of these four Spirit Beasts, plus the formations of the Lingxue Sacred Land, they already possessed the most important conditions to become one of the top three powers on the continent.

Lingxu looked at the few people recruited later by Feng Ming and said indifferently: "The Lingxue Sacred Land is independent of the Spirit Hall and only takes orders from Xue'er and me."

"Join us, and I guarantee your cultivation speed will increase by more than thirty percent. Also, for you five, you will definitely reach the Title Douluo rank in the future, and the age at which you attain that title will absolutely not exceed thirty years old."

This statement had an impact that was truly too great.

Reaching the Title Douluo rank before thirty is something that does not even exist on the continent right now.

But Feng Ming thought of how Lingxu was already at level 58 soul power at just over twelve years old; at such a cultivation speed, it would likely be achieved in his twenties.

Furthermore, they had already seen the secrets of the Lingxue Sacred Land today; if they did not stay, the consequences could be imagined.

"I will provide you with the best cultivation conditions and some resources, but I must state the ugly truth upfront: in the Lingxue Sacred Land, you must offer absolute loyalty."

"If you still have family, they can also join, provided they can pass the assessment to enter the Shengdi. Those who pass will be treated equally by me."

At this moment, Lingxu seemed to possess a natural imperial temperament, causing the people before him to unknowingly develop a sense of awe.

"What is there to discuss? Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and I will all join," Huo Yan was the first to speak; joining Lingxue Academy definitely had a future.

With the backing of the Spirit Hall, possessing strong innate power, and being willing to cultivate their own children.

The thought of her son and daughter reaching the Title Douluo rank before thirty was simply exhilarating.

"I, Feng Ming, and my son Feng Xiaotian will join," said Feng Ming.

"And me, Shui Qingfeng, along with my two daughters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er will join. Later, I will also have my two wives come; is that alright?" said Shui Qingfeng.

Lingxu smiled and said: "As long as they are willing to come, I welcome them with both hands, but the prerequisite is that they must pass our assessment, though it will be even harder than before."
