Chapter 122: Serving Ling is not as good as serving you (Thanks to [Xiao Panzi)

Ling is a great existence.

Back then, the Feng Clan used the strength of the entire clan and countless treasures to make offerings to the Heavens, obtaining a supreme qualification.

That is, the entire Feng Clan has the qualification to bear the surname Ling and the qualification to serve the great existence, Ling.

According to the ancestral teachings, when Ling descends into the world, the entire Feng Clan shall acknowledge Ling as their master.

This is an opportunity for the entire Feng Clan!

At this moment, the old woman knelt on the ground, her eyes filled with a fervent expression: "Ling..."

In the Ancestral Hall, Ling Jin heard the commotion outside the courtyard and hurriedly ran out.

"Grandmother, what is going on?"

Ling Jin looked at the old woman, his face full of anxiety.

At this moment, the fanaticism on the old woman's face had dissipated quite a bit; she stared at Ling Jin, her voice trembling: "The great existence, the supreme Ling... has finally descended into the world!"

"Huh?" Ling Jin was slightly stunned, but in his heart, he did not take it seriously. "Where is Ling? Let me see."

The old woman's expression turned cold instantly; she looked at Ling Jin, her voice chilling: "Ling Jin, you must understand our identity; we, the Feng Clan, are the servants of Ling!"

"Grandmother, it is already the year 3030; we emphasize equality for all, and there is simply no such thing as masters and servants.

Not just me, but Ling Yu, Ling Tang, and Ling An also feel that serving Ling is nothing but nonsense."

"Ling Jin, those are the ancestral teachings!" The old woman was angry and raised her voice.

"Such rotten things should be swept into the dust of history," Ling Jin continued.

He did not want to become anyone's servant.

The old woman looked at Ling Jin, the more she looked, the angrier she became: "Do you know how much effort our ancestors put in and how much strength they used to fight for this opportunity for our Feng Clan?

It was precisely because we obtained the qualification to serve Ling that our Feng Clan was not wiped out back then.

It can be said that it is precisely because of Ling that our Feng Clan has continued to exist.

It was Ling who gave our Feng Clan a new life!

Serving Ling is our Feng Clan's opportunity; it is our Feng Clan's glory!"

A look of fanaticism was on the old woman's face.

When she looked at Ling Jin, her voice became icy, and her face bore a resolute expression.

"Clan members who do not serve Ling are ungrateful and are not worthy of being people of the Feng Clan!"

Looking at his grandmother's expression, Ling Jin was still somewhat reluctant inside, but he dared not argue any further.

He really wanted to say that the Feng Clan's ability to continue was due to the efforts of the predecessors themselves, not because of some so-called qualification to serve Ling.

"Grandmother, then where is Ling?" Ling Jin did not refute the old woman again. "How should we serve him?"

Grandmother had an extremely high status and great prestige in the Feng Clan.

Ling Jin also held a bit more awe for his grandmother.

"We must find Ling first!" The old woman calmed down.

"How do we find him?"

"Jade!" the old woman said. "In the Ancestral Hall, there is an accessory jade of Ling's; as long as one is close to Ling, this piece of jade will undergo a peculiar change."

"There is only one piece of jade; in the vast sea of people, how can we find him?" Ling Jin voiced his worry.

"Soak the jade in Water and drink it; it will have the same special effect," the old woman said excitedly. "From now on, everyone in Fengling Village must drink the Jade Bubble Water to search for the supreme Ling."

Ling Jin was stunned for a moment, but eventually, he slowly agreed.

Soon, under the old woman's assembly, hundreds of Feng Clan members in Fengling Village gathered together.

These hundreds of people were mostly middle-aged.

As for the young people, most were at school and had not returned home.

However, at this moment, some young people like Ling Jin were still there.

At this moment, everyone looked at the old woman, feeling very curious and discussing among themselves, not knowing what had happened.

The old woman stepped forward and spoke slowly: "Ling... has descended into the world."

She got straight to the point without any beating around the bush.

"What?"

"Ling has descended into the world?"

There was an immediate uproar at the scene.

Some people had excited expressions on their faces, some were bewildered, and some were dismissive.

Among them, there were many young people similar to Ling Jin whose reaction to this news was the same as Ling Jin's.

However, the older ones were mostly incomparably excited.

They naturally understood what Ling meant.

Back then, it was precisely because they obtained the qualification to serve Ling that the Feng Clan continued to exist.

The legendary Ling had a great kindness toward the Feng Clan.

Moreover, serving Ling was their glory and their opportunity.

According to the records in the Ancestral Book, how many clans wanted to serve Ling back then, but unfortunately, they did not have that opportunity.

This opportunity was snatched by them!

"From today on, all Feng Clan members shall drink Jade Bubble Water, break into small groups, and enter the world to search for Ling!" the old woman said, her voice incomparably majestic.

"As you command, High Priest!" Immediately, many middle-aged people spoke devoutly.

The old woman was indeed the High Priest of the Feng Clan.

However, there were also many young people who had opposing opinions in their hearts, but on such an occasion, they did not dare to raise any objections.

At this time, the old woman continued: "This news must be spread completely; anyone who has the Feng Clan Bloodline is qualified to know."

"Those who have already left the Feng Clan, if they are willing to return at this time, still possess the qualification to serve the Spirit."

To the old woman, serving the Spirit was a gift of immense proportions.

On the field, many members of the Feng Clan felt shocked, yet also incomparably excited.

One hour later.

Ling Jin shrugged: "Sigh, my grandmother and the others are really something, believing in these feudal superstitions."

"Right, it's already the year 3030, and they're still following ancestral teachings to serve some Spirit."

"What exactly is that Spirit? Does anyone know?"

"I reckon it's just an ethereal legend."

"I even suspect it was deliberately fabricated by the High Priest's lineage to maintain their own status."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Ling Jin was dissatisfied, "Just these few hundred people in the Feng Clan, I don't even think much of them, my mother is..."

Ling Jin's family was the lineage of the Feng Clan's High Priest.

"Haha." The other young people laughed.

They also knew that Ling Jin's mother had power and influence in the Great Xia Country, and held a noble status.

"Actually, I have a different view.

I heard from my grandmother that when they were young, when the High Priest was young, they also held the Spirit in contempt.

However, when they reached the age of sixty, we Feng Clan members become qualified to enter the Ancestral Land.

Everyone who enters the Ancestral Land has their attitude toward the Spirit change drastically after coming out.

It's a pity we aren't qualified to enter the Ancestral Land, otherwise, I would definitely have to go in and take a look."

Ling Jin was slightly stunned.

He naturally knew of the Ancestral Land.

That was the Feng Clan's number one forbidden area, which they were not allowed to enter.

Entering it would result in severe punishment from the Feng Clan.

If he remembered correctly, the daughter of a clan leader from a few generations ago had entered the forbidden area without following the rules.

In the end, she was expelled from the Feng Clan.

Since then, the clan leader's lineage of the Feng Clan was completely severed.

After chatting with these young people for a while, Ling Jin entered his own room.

The black-robed man sat to the side, a smile on his face: "Your Feng Clan is quite interesting."

"Tell me, does that Spirit truly exist?" Ling Jin asked.

In truth, at first, he had absolutely no trust in the Spirit.

However, recently he had dreamt of some strange things, met the black-robed man, and witnessed some Supernatural things.

He felt that perhaps the Spirit really did exist?

The black-robed man shook his head: "If the Spirit truly exists, it is at least a powerhouse of the Great Heavenly Venerable Realm.

Your world has no Spiritual Qi at all, so it is definitely impossible to have the soil for a powerhouse of the Great Heavenly Venerable Realm.

Of course, it is also possible that many years ago, an existence similar to me fell into your Feng Clan.

Then, your Feng Clan served him as master and continued the ancestral teachings.

Of course, the legend of the Spirit has existed in your Feng Clan for nearly two thousand years.

Even I, in your world, would not live for two thousand years.

Perhaps, in two hundred years, it would be dust to dust, earth to earth."

"In other words, believing in the Spirit is not as good as believing in you?" Ling Jin laughed.

"Hmm." The black-robed man laughed loudly, "I am at least in the Great Heavenly Venerable Realm, standing at the peak of the secular world.

I fear that the only ones who could defeat me are those Immortals in the sky.

There are far more people who want to serve me than your Feng Clan members.

As for that Spirit, I suspect it might also be an Immortal Cultivator who came to your world without Spiritual Qi; naturally, it would be very easy to create some legends."

"Hmm, according to what you said, the movie 'Heize' is real, and that Spear inside is also a so-called Treasure?"

"Hmm." The black-robed man continued to nod, "It seems there are many visitors from other worlds coming to your world.

Your world is quite special; I have been to many worlds, and they are all square sky and flat earth.

Yet your world is actually round sky and round earth, which is very interesting."

"Isn't that so? We all live on a planet?" Ling Jin was surprised.

"Not so, the place where we live is a plane."

"Then what are the stars in your sky?" Ling Jin asked.

"Stars?" The black-robed man frowned, "Perhaps, they are the places where Immortals reside."

Reaching the Great Heavenly Venerable Realm is already reaching the peak of Immortal Cultivation.

Further up, there is Shattering the Void.

However, even at the Great Heavenly Venerable Realm, one cannot break through the limits of the world or pierce through the Heavenly Vault.

"There are definitely no Immortals on the stars in the sky!

In the year 3000, our Golden Dragon spaceship successfully landed on the Moon.

The Moon is just an Ordinary satellite; there are no Immortals at all, nor is there any soil suitable for human or biological survival.

By the way, in a while, our Daxia's Candle Dragon spaceship will be launched to the Heavenly Emperor Star."

At this, the black-robed man opened the window and looked up at the stars in the sky.

"It's a pity your world has no Spiritual Qi, otherwise, I would definitely go to the stars in the sky to take a look."

Ling Jin laughed loudly: "I believe you; Ling is definitely not as good as you!"

"If Ling were as formidable as you, I fear it would have already founded a nation and ruled this world!"

"What is the use of ruling the world?" the black-robed person's gaze was cold and stern, "Your world has no useful resources; for me to unify the world would be a waste of effort, and not as good as pursuing the Immortal Dao to seek a method of breakthrough."

"What you say makes sense." Ling Jin nodded.

When he first saw the black-robed person, he was indeed incomparably wary.

In the end, having discovered the person's terrifying strength, Ling Jin felt his wariness was superfluous.

No matter how wary he was, could it affect the black-robed person's actions?

It could not.

He looked at the black-robed person and continued to ask: "Does that mean that even if Ling truly exists, it has already fallen?"

"Mm." The black-robed person nodded.

"That is good." Ling Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "I do not want that Ling to still be alive; I have no intention of becoming someone's servant."

The black-robed person smiled: "Actually, sometimes, being someone's servant is instead an endless honor."

"My fate is determined by me, not by the heavens!" Ling Jin suddenly thought of a line from a movie.

"Is your fate really determined by you?" the black-robed person laughed loudly.

In this world, how many people can truly grasp their own destiny?

Ling Jin was slightly stunned, and a feeling of sadness inexplicably arose in his heart.

Indeed, right now he keeps talking about freedom and destiny.

Indeed, he is much freer now than people in the feudal dynasty era, and he can also grasp his own destiny.

However, he is still very far from true carefree freedom.

"What are your plans for what comes next?" Ling Jin looked at the black-robed person and asked.

"For the time being, I cannot return, so I will stay by your side.

I am still very interested in your dreams." The black-robed person revealed a smile.

Ling Jin's dreams, along with the special aspects of this world, made the black-robed person feel a sense of mystery.

These were things he also wanted to figure out.
