The Xuanling Continent was an ancient continent that had existed for millions of years.
There were at least five types of Godly Beasts on this continent: the True Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, the Black Tortoise, and the Qilin!
They were the ancient creatures of this continent and their bloodlines were passed down!
Later on, four other Godly Beasts also appeared here.
That was the Primordial Era. The human race had just been born and was on the path of change!
Xuan Ling Continent had experienced millions of years. With the emergence of many powerful cultivators and the chaotic wars between the various races, the various boundaries were heavily damaged. The Origin Force was gradually lost, causing the once glorious ancient continent to enter its final phase of decline!
Many other races began to search for more suitable land to live in!
That was how the prosperous Heaven Realm was today!
After Ling Xiao entered Xuan Ling Continent, he immediately scanned the entire place with his divine telekinesis.
With his speed and strength, no matter where he wanted to go, he would be able to reach it directly. It would not take too much time.
He had returned to his homeland, but there weren't many old friends left in this land!
The Ling Clan, the Proud Smiling Palace, perhaps there were still people he knew but they were not worth his time.
No matter what, he still felt a sense of familiarity here. It made him feel like he had returned home. He liked this feeling!
"One day, I will definitely restore it to its former glory!" Ling Xiao sighed and murmured.
Ling Xiao landed directly in Wind Cloud City of the Proud Smiling Palace.
No one noticed how he appeared. It was as if he had been here for a long time.
Ling Xiao was wearing a green robe. He looked like an ordinary, handsome young man walking on foot, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
Looking at the rapid changes in Wind Cloud City, Ling Xiao was extremely satisfied!
This was a city that he had built with his own hands. It was his territory and his people. He sincerely hoped that they could live and work in peace here.
Everyone who walked around looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief.
It was as if they were looking at the legendary person, the first City Lord of Wind Cloud City!
Unfortunately, when they blinked, they found that the person had already disappeared in front of them!
Not long after, a cloaked man appeared in a corner of Wind Cloud City's Wind Cloud Restaurant.
This man looked rather strange. Anyone who wanted to see his face through his cloak could not. It was as if they could only see a blurry cloud.
All the experts in the restaurant at the King Rank and above were extremely shocked. They knew that this person was absolutely a first-rate expert, and he might already be an existence at the Mystic Emperor Realm!
This cloaked man was undoubtedly Ling Xiao!
He knew that everyone in Wind Cloud City knew him. After all, there was a statue of him in the center of the city!
The statue was over a hundred meters tall, like a deity standing with his hands behind his back. That handsome face and the aura that looked down on the world were incomparable. He was a legendary figure in the Xuanling Continent that was revered by the future generations!
At this moment, a person walked into the restaurant, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the restaurant. At the same time, they stood up and bowed slightly to that person.
Many people warmly greeted that person and tried to please him.
"Elder Liu is here. Today, we can listen to the story of the Xiao Emperor again. That's great!"
"Elder Liu comes out once a month to talk about following the Xiao Emperor. I don't know if he's telling the truth or not. I even suspect that he's bragging!"
"Brother, don't talk nonsense. Elder Liu looks ordinary, but he might really be a hidden master. Otherwise, why didn't the manager of the restaurant dare to stop him every time he tells a story?"
"That's true. I wonder what Elder Liu will say today. I don't want to follow the Xiao Emperor anymore. If I can join the Xiao Emperor, I will be satisfied!"
"Elder Liu, come sit here. Serve the food and wine so that Elder Liu can tell us more about the legend of the Xiao Emperor!"
The one who walked over was a white-haired old man. Although he was already in his seventies, his old eyes were reserved, his steps were steady, and his aura was extraordinary. He was obviously not an ordinary old man.
There was a kind smile on his face, and he smiled whenever he met people. There was no hypocrisy on his face.
Elder Liu sat in the center of the restaurant and smiled, "Heh, heh, it seems that everyone doesn't mind this old man's trembling. Well, I will tell a little bit more today. But first, I need to drink some wine to moisten my throat!"
"Elder Liu, drink as much as you want! We will give you enough!" Someone in the restaurant responded generously.
The others also began to agree with him.
After Elder Liu drank a cup of wine, he looked at the others and said with a smile, "When I followed the Xiao Emperor, he was only a half-step Martial Sovereign. He was as powerful as me, but I reached that level a thousand years earlier than him. The Xiao Emperor had just reached that level, but he was already able to defeat the three of us half-step Martial Sovereigns. I, Elder Liu, had three attacks from the Xiao Emperor. Don't underestimate those three attacks. The other two old men couldn't even withstand one attack from the Xiao Emperor. The Xiao Emperor saw that I was still useful, so he said, 'You are good. I have the Supreme Grade Xuan King Dan. Follow me, and I will help you become the Xuan King.' How old was the Xiao Emperor then? He was only about thirty years old. It was the first time that I was shocked by the Xiao Emperor's aura. After that, I followed the Xiao Emperor and started to conquer the world …"
Elder Liu's words were soft and gentle, like the sound of bamboo, penetrating deep into people's hearts. It made people feel like they were in the same situation as the Xiao Emperor.
At the same time, they seemed to see the heroic figure of the Xiao Emperor, who fought against so many powerful cultivators without being defeated!
Everyone was mesmerized by Elder Liu's words and couldn't help themselves!
Only Ling Xiao, who was wearing a cloak, was laughing in his heart. He thought to himself, "Since when did Elder Liu like to brag?"
He looked at Elder Liu, who was talking, and an invisible force stopped Elder Liu's words!
Elder Liu's face turned serious, and he looked at Ling Xiao as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Then, his old eyes narrowed, and he lost his composure as he exclaimed, "Palace Master!"
As his voice faded, the cloaked Ling Xiao had already disappeared from the restaurant.
Duke Liu instantly stood up, and his peak-stage Mystic Thearch cultivation burst forth, causing everyone present to stumble!
In the next moment, Duke Liu flew towards the door as if he had gone mad. His speed caused everyone present to be flabbergasted!
"Liu … Elder Liu is really a Xuan Emperor. How … How is this possible!"
"It seems that Elder Liu is really a powerful cultivator. Maybe he is the Supreme Elder of the Proud Smiling Palace and has followed the Xiao Emperor!"
"I didn't expect this. If I can get on Elder Liu's good side, I can join the Proud Smiling Palace. I wonder if Elder Liu will come next month!"
"Yes, if Elder Liu is willing to let me follow him, I will do anything. Maybe when the Xiao Emperor comes back from the Qing-Yun Realm, it will be a great fortune for us!"
Only then did they realize that Elder Liu, who had been telling them stories, was really a member of the Proud Smiling Palace, and he was a super Xuan Emperor. Everyone was regretful that they missed the chance to make friends with such a person!
The Xuan Emperor was one of the most powerful cultivators in the Central Territory. As long as the Saints didn't show up, they could do whatever they wanted!
On the top of a tall mountain in the Rainy Swamp Mountain Range, a figure was standing on the top of the tallest ancient tree, facing the wind.
From afar, he seemed to be in harmony with the heaven and earth, and he had reached the level of being one with the world!
After a long while, a figure shot over from afar!
This person was Liu Gong, who had rushed out from the restaurant. He looked at the young man standing on top of the ancient tree with a face full of excitement. He actually knelt down in midair and said, "Liu Qun greets Palace Lord!"
However, before he knelt down, an invisible force seemed to bind him, and he couldn't kneel!
Ling Xiao turned around and smiled, "Elder Liu, how have you been!"
Elder Liu was undoubtedly Liu Qun, who used to follow Ling Xiao around!
In the beginning, Liu Qun was only a Half-step Emperor, but he broke through to the low-level Xuan Emperor after he obtained the Supreme Grade Xuan Emperor Pill!
He originally thought that this was the end of his life. However, when Ling Xiao returned from the Heaven Region the last time, he gave him a batch of rare high-grade spirit ingredients. That was how he managed to reach the peak stage of the Mystic Thearch Realm.
Liu Qun had followed Ling Xiao for many years, and he'd almost perished in the battles with the various powers. If Ling Xiao hadn't used many rare spiritual materials to save him, he would have died a long time ago!
His respect for Ling Xiao was incomparable to anyone else's.
At that time, Ling Xiao had wanted to take him with him to the Qing-Yun Realm, but Liu Qun had stayed behind of his own accord.
It wasn't that he didn't want to go to the Qing-Yun Realm, but in his own words, he wanted to protect the Palace Lord's estate. He couldn't lose someone to look after the Palace Lord and the other direct descendants of the Palace Lord had left.
It could be said that Liu Qun was one of the most loyal direct descendants of Ling Xiao!
Liu Qun looked excitedly at Ling Xiao, whose appearance hadn't changed at all. Tears welled up in his old eyes, and he said, "I, Old Liu, can see the return of the Palace Lord again. I'm satisfied, satisfied!"
Ling Xiao came to Liu Qun's side and sighed softly, "Elder Liu, you don't need to be like this. It's like you're going to die." After a pause, he said, "It's been hard on you all these years. This time, come with me to the Qing-Yun Realm. The Xuan Emperor's cultivation is too weak. If people know that you're my man, I can't afford to lose face!"
Liu Qun could feel that Ling Xiao's temperament hadn't changed, so he nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, Palace Lord!"
Now that the Laughing Palace had stabilized after the departure of the others, he could also leave with peace of mind.
"You've reached the edge of a breakthrough, but this is not the best place for a breakthrough. After I take you back to the Qing-Yun Realm, it won't be too late for you to break through to the Saint Realm!" Ling Xiao said again.
Liu Qun's body trembled a few times, and his heart was extremely excited!
He had thought that he would never forget the Saint Realm in this life, but after hearing Ling Xiao's words, he was relieved!
He had never heard his Palace Master speak carelessly, and he was certain that he would reach the Saint Realm!
