Chapter 490: Joining Xuanyuan
Translator: 549690339
Li Lingtian rested in the Divine Moon Palace for a few days to familiarize himself with the place.
For the past few days, the little girl, Xuanyuan Yingying, had been hanging out with Huangfu Yuyan all day. Apart from returning to the Celestial Moon Palace at night, she was almost always with Li Lingtian.
Li Lingtian felt helpless and could only cultivate speechlessly.
Apart from cultivating, he would also study the spell Xuanyuan Tianming had given him, which was also the spell to enter the secret chamber.
According to Xuanyuan Tianming, there were only three people in the Xuanyuan family who were qualified to possess this Magic Art. One was Xuanyuan Tianming, the other was Xuanyuan Yingying, and the last was Li Lingtian.
This technique was not powerful at all. It was just a supplementary technique but it was extremely profound. Li Lingtian possessed a high level of intelligence and his mind was nimble thanks to the Eye of the Divine Soul. It took him a day to comprehend and cultivate it.
On this day, Li Lingtian was cultivating when Xuanyuan Yingying approached him.
Li Lingtian was stunned. Usually, Xuanyuan Yingying would hang out with Tang Qingyue and the others and rarely with him.
But now, Xuanyuan Yingying was standing in front of him with her hands behind her back. She looked extremely cute.
” Little girl, can’t you see that I’m cultivating? ”
Li Lingtian sized up Xuanyuan Yingying to see what she was planning.
“Hey, you’re going to attend the ancestral worship ceremony today, so you’ll be a member of the Xuanyuan family in the future. Can’t you treat me better? Besides, we’re friends.”
“Grandpa asked me to call you over.”
Xuanyuan Yingying looked at Li Lingtian’s tone and pouted. She looked aggrieved and her eyes were misty. Li Lingtian was taken aback by her expression.
His heart softened. He could kill his enemies mercilessly, but this little girl in front of him was not an enemy. Moreover, she could be considered a family member. More importantly, she was a peerless beauty. He could not be cruel at all.
“Forget it, let’s go.”
The expression on Li Lingtian’s face softened a little. If he were to continue being so fierce, this girl might really cry. By then, even if he had ten mouths, he would not be able to explain himself.
With that, he stood up and walked out.
Xuanyuan Yingying noticed Li Lingtian’s change and a sly smile appeared on her face as she quickly followed after him.
“Yuyan, Qingyue, you guys cultivate. I’m going out for a bit. Today’s ancestral worship ceremony.”
When Li Lingtian came out, he greeted Huangfu Yuyan and the rest when he saw them.
“Okay, you can go.”
Huangfu Yuyan smiled. The smile on her face widened when she saw Xuanyuan Yingying behind Li Lingtian.
“Sister Qingyue, Sister Yuyan, I’ll come back and play with you guys later.”
Xuanyuan Yingying’s mouth was always sweet. When she was done speaking, she saw Li Lingtian walking out of the room. Hence, she quickly ran out.
Xuanyuan Yingying did not say anything as Li Lingtian walked over. She simply led the way.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the ancestral hall of the Xuanyuan family. Instead of calling it an ancestral hall, it was more like a palace. It was like a forbidden palace, and the entire ancestral hall had a dignified aura.
It could be seen how powerful the Xuan Yuan Clan was. There were countless magical arrays around the ancestral hall. Although they were not activated, as long as someone barged in, they would instantly release a destructive attack.
By the time Li Lingtian arrived, there were already more than ten Martial Emperor powerhouses. Li Lingtian had seen a few of them before. There were also two Ninth Level Martial Emperors. One was Xuanyuan Tianming while the other was someone Li Lingtian had never seen before.
Upon seeing Li Lingtian’s arrival, everyone had a different expression on their faces.
” Junior Li Lingtian greets Clan Head.”
“Greetings, Elder.”
Li Lingtian bowed to Xuanyuan Tianming in a neither humble nor respectful manner before he bowed to the other Martial Emperors.
On the way, Xuanyuan Yingying had already told Li Lingtian about the important figures present. Although they were all Martial Emperor powerhouses, they were in charge of various matters in the Xuan Yuan Clan.
The Xuanyuan family’s matters were also handled by them. The ones hosting the ancestral worship ceremony this time were a few elders.
“Okay, let’s begin the worship ceremony.”
Xuanyuan Tianming and the other Martial Emperor elders nodded.
Following that, all the elders kowtowed three times and nine times to a statue in the ancestral hall.
Li Lingtian also knew that this person was Emperor Xuanyuan. He was a figure from ancient times and was the most powerful figure in the Xuanyuan Clan. He was also the most glorious period of the Xuanyuan Clan.
After the elders had finished their kowtows, Li Lingtian took out a little of his Blood Essence and kowtowed three times and nine times.
Li Lingtian was extremely respectful to an ancient mighty figure like Emperor Xuanyuan who had made the greatest contribution to the human race.
After joining Xuanyuan Clan, Zhang Tie didn’t feel awkward at all as he admired Emperor Xuanyuan in his previous life.
” Since Ling Tian has joined the Xuan Yuan Clan, he must abide by the rules of the Xuan Yuan Clan.”
” In the Divine Martial Continent, you are ranked in the middle of the Xuan Yuan Clan, following Yingying. However, in the Xuan Yuan Clan outside, you don’t care about seniority. You only care about strength.”
” Even though your name is Li Lingtian, you’re still a member of the Xuanyuan Clan. Even though you’re not required to change your name, you still need to have your own identity and status in the Xuanyuan Clan. What do you think of the name Xuanyuan Lingtian?”
After Li Lingtian had finished his bow, Xuanyuan Tianming spoke up and told him Li Lingtian’s name and seniority. He then looked at Li Lingtian.
“Ling Tian has no objections.”
Li Lingtian did not hesitate. The name was just a symbol and an identity. He was still Li Lingtian in the outside world, but he could use Li Lingtian and Xuanyuan Lingtian in the Xuanyuan family.
Another reason was that Xuanyuan Ling Tian was an identity, a pass, and a true symbol of the Xuanyuan family.
It was just like how some true core disciples would be given a surname by the sect.
“Alright, you are now a member of the Xuan Yuan clan, so you have to accept the family rules of the Xuan Yuan clan. These are the family rules of the Xuan Yuan clan.”
“Similarly, the name list of the members of the Xuanyuan family is also here. There are also some stories and distribution of power of the Xuanyuan family. As the hope of the Xuanyuan family, you have to bear the responsibility of the Xuanyuan family.”
Xuanyuan Tianming was pleased to see that Li Lingtian had no objections. The other Elders were equally pleased since they had heard of Li Lingtian’s abilities.
Such a person was not someone who was fawning over the Xuanyuan family. Furthermore, Li Lingtian was someone the Patriarch had taken a liking to and was the Xuanyuan family’s hope of returning to the Upper Realm.
Following that, the eight Eighth Heaven Martial Emperor powerhouses, four elders, and Xuanyuan Tianming cast a series of mysterious spells to refine Li Lingtian’s blood essence and fuse it into the Xuan Yuan Clan’s genealogy. After that, they cast a spell and took out a jade slip from the ancestral hall’s memorial tablet.
Xuanyuan Tianming’s expression turned serious as he handed the jade slip to Li Lingtian.
Li Lingtian kept it in the Divine Dragon Ring.
The group left the ancestral hall and returned to the main hall to take their seats. Li Lingtian’s seat was actually with Xuanyuan Yingying and was in front of her.
” You’re already a member of the Xuan Yuan Clan now. Don’t bully me in the future, Big Brother Ling Tian.”
Xuanyuan Yingying was overjoyed as she held Li Lingtian’s hand affectionately. Li Lingtian subconsciously let go of her hand and his face turned unnatural. He was still not used to such intimacy.
After all, there was still some estrangement between her and this little girl. If she said that he bullied her, she would be depressed.
Xuanyuan Tianming smiled when he saw Li Lingtian’s reaction. However, the smile was fleeting.
“Oh right, Ling Tian, have you finished cultivating the technique I gave you?”
Xuanyuan Tianming asked casually. After all, this technique was extremely profound. Even he had spent two months to master it.
No matter how powerful Li Lingtian was, it was impossible for him to cultivate it in just a few days.
“Patriarch, I’ve finished cultivating the spell.”
Li Lingtian spoke in a tone that was neither humble nor respectful. To him, this Magic Art was nothing. To him, it was useless to comprehend it after cultivating for a day. After all, he did not go to the Secret Room every day.
“You cultivated it?”
Xuanyuan Tianming and the elders were shocked beyond words. They stared at Li Lingtian as if he was a monster.
Although they didn’t have the qualifications to cultivate this technique, they knew that the technique to enter and exit the Xuanyuan family’s Elder Hall was extremely difficult. As for the technique to enter and exit the ancestor’s place, it was even more difficult.
They did not expect Li Lingtian to cultivate it in just a few days. How could they not be shocked?
“Yes, I was lucky enough to cultivate it.”
Li Lingtian nodded. Naturally, he could see the shock on the elders and Xuanyuan Tianming’s faces. This was the effect he wanted. He had joined the Xuanyuan family and he must have his own status. This place was something he had to work hard to get.
Although everything he had done in the past was heaven-defying, it was nothing in front of a true expert. This was because a genius who had not grown up was not a true genius.
“Since you’ve cultivated it, you can go to the secret room at any time. This way, you can comprehend the wood-type will of the great path.”
“We can only forge your identity token tomorrow. I’ll ask Yingying to send it over tomorrow.”
Xuanyuan Tianming said after calming himself down. He was getting more and more satisfied with Li Lingtian. Moreover, he mentioned Xuanyuan Yingying at any time. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the Xuanyuan family wanted to make Xuanyuan Yingying and Li Lingtian work together.
“Junior understands.”
Li Lingtian nodded and replied respectfully. With a token, it would at least be more convenient for him to do things in the Tianhe Zone.
” Don’t be unfamiliar with me. Just call me Yingying so that you won’t feel unfamiliar with me. This girl has been spoiled by us. You should discipline her in the future.”
Xuanyuan Tianming smiled and looked at Xuanyuan Yingying. Xuanyuan Yingying’s face turned red, and she looked as cute as a red apple.
“Grandpa.”
Li Lingtian did not try to be pretentious. Since they were both juniors, it did not matter if he addressed them as his grandfather.
Now that he had become a member of the Xuanyuan family, there was no need to be so distant with Xuanyuan Yingying.
” Mm, not bad. It’s not natural for the two of you to be here. Go back.”
Xuanyuan Tianming nodded happily. He then asked Li Lingtian and Xuanyuan Yingying to return home. There was nothing much to do in this place so everything that needed to be explained was recorded in the jade slip. This way, Li Lingtian could go back and learn the Xuanyuan family rules..
