Chapter Five: The Grand Return

  Silence! A dead silence in the room!

  Is this still the Xiang Ling who was completely destroyed? With a casual slap, he can fan Xiao Ya out of the arena to death!

  "Bang!"

  After a long time, a crisp explosion sounded from the throne, and Qi Yunhou suddenly stood up, staring at Xiao Ling with shining eyes, extremely excited. Even the armrests on both sides of the throne were shattered to pieces in an instant when Qi Yunhou got up!

  It wasn't until they heard the sound of the handrail breaking that everyone came back to their senses!

  "It's impossible..."

  "Xiao Ling is already a useless person, he will never be able to cultivate again in this lifetime, how can he possibly recover his strength and even reach the Golden Body Realm......"

  "It's all over, everything is completely over..."

  "What's going on here?"

  。。。。。。

  Everyone's heart was stirred up with tremendous waves! They couldn't believe their eyes, and all of this seemed like a dream!

  "Xiao Ling... ... won!" Xiao Xiang's voice was a little hoarse, even someone like him was completely stunned.

  "Golden Body Realm..." Qi Yunhou muttered to himself, then suddenly looked up at the sky and burst out laughing, "Good! Good! Good! Another Golden Body Realm has emerged from my Qi Yunhou Manor, truly heaven is blessing me, Qi Yunhou!"

  Qiyun Hou burst into uncontrollable laughter, and everyone stared at the extremely excited Qiyun Hou, knowing that all of this was not a dream, but reality.

  A Golden Body Realm is far too important for worldly affairs, and yet Qi Yunhou has lost his composure like this!

  Even in the entire Qiyunhou Mansion, there are only a few who have broken through to the Golden Body Realm! The role of the Golden Body Realm is too great, even if it's 100 Divine Spirit Realms, they can't compare to the importance of one Golden Body Realm.

  There are comparisons between countries, and similarly, there are comparisons between marquises! What is being compared? It's comparing who has more real power, and how many top-notch experts with Golden Body Realm or higher each has under their command!

  Obviously, Xiao Ling broke through to the Golden Body Realm, and Qi Yunhou's strength has increased a lot! How can Qi Yunhou not be delighted?

  Xiao Ling looked at Qi Yunhou, who was excited beyond words. Now he didn't have much excitement! If it were in the past, he would also be complacent and proud of himself.

  Xiao Ling walked down from the stage under everyone's gaze and returned to his previous seat in silence.

  In the Xie family's camp, everyone was uncertain and gloomy. Xiao Ling's glorious return made all their hopes disappear, and their brilliance was destined to be overshadowed by Xiao Ling.

  It's frustrating! But what can frustration do? The Golden Body Realm isn't something you can break through just by wanting to, many people get stuck in the Spiritual Realm and can't break through no matter how long they try.

  Breaking through the golden body boundary is as difficult for these family members as ascending to the heavens!

  "Wow, Xiao Ling is so handsome and cool.........."

  Some maids looked at Xiao Ling as if they were looking at a rich and handsome prince, even Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhan felt dull in their hearts.

  "When can I reach such a state? Maybe this life is just a slave's fate!"

  "Genius is genius, no matter how big the setback, it will be reborn, and it's not something that ordinary people can compare to."

  。。。。。。

  Those slave servants in the servant camp, countless slave servants have endless sighs in their hearts! As people of the Qi Yunhou Mansion, how can the gap be so big?

  "One divine realm of ten layers, one divine realm of eight layers, one divine realm of seven layers, and one divine realm of six layers. The actual strength of the Qi Yun Hou Fu is just average!" Xiang Yao's voice suddenly echoed in Xiao Ling's mind.

  Xiao Ling also didn't know when Xiang Yao woke up, and he curled his lips, saying: "This kind of strength is ordinary? Even in the entire Qin state, there aren't many marquises who possess this kind of strength!"

  "Hmph! The strength of the secular world is indeed so mediocre! Your vision should be more far-sighted, without reaching the Xuanming Secret Realm, you are just a nobody in this world!"

  "Xiao Yao, how's your current strength?" Xiao Ling thought that since Xiao Yao could help him recover his strength, he must be extremely powerful himself.

  Xiao Yao was lying on a huge stone inside the Xiao Yao Divine Cauldron, and upon hearing Xiao Ling's words, he first smiled complacently, then looked somewhat embarrassed, saying: "If the Xiao Yao Divine Cauldron hadn't been damaged, I could have destroyed Qin Country with just one thought. But now, my power is only at the tenth level of the Divine Body Secret Realm."

  Xiao Ling's heart also felt a shock. Could a mere thought destroy the Qin state? What kind of terrifying power was that?

  However, upon hearing that Xiao Yao was now only at the tenth level of the Divine Realm, he let out a sigh and rolled his eyes, saying: "No matter how strong your abilities were in the past, they're useless now. At most, you're just a marquis!"

  "Hmph! Don't underestimate me, even if I'm only at the 10th level of the Divine Body Secret Realm, but with the Xuanxiao Divine Cauldron, I'm basically invincible within the 10th level!"

  "That's still no match for the Xuanming Secret Realm, useless!" Xiao Ling splashed a basin of cold water, and Lian Di's face turned pale.

  Xiaoyao was about to erupt, but still endured it and hummed: "If I can have enough pure Yang energy, I can use this to recover my strength. If I use sacred Yang energy, the Xiaoyao Divine Cauldron will be able to recover its strength and reach its peak!"

  "Has it reached its peak?" Xiao Ling's heart was also filled with anticipation for the Xianyao Shen Ding to recover its peak strength.

  Xiao Ling may be inferior in strength and experience, but he is crystal clear about the value of a powerful weapon in battle.

  During the conversation between Xiao Ling and Xiao Yao, the martial arts competition on the arena was also in full swing. Xiao Ling watched the battle and couldn't help but admit that these people were indeed very impressive, they had made a lot of progress in recent days.

  The Xie family had only a dozen or so members, each with a strength of at least the Divine Origin Realm. There were also seven or eight members in the Divine Spirit Realm, but except for Xiao Ling, none of them had reached the Golden Body Realm.

  The martial arts competition of the Xie family's household had come to an end, and although the subsequent competitions were also extremely wonderful, it seemed that everyone was still reeling from the shock that Xiao Ling had given them earlier.

  "The surname granting ceremony and martial competition have come to an end. The winner will receive a generous reward from the Marquis!" Xiao Yang's voice was loud and clear, his powerful aura evident in these words.

  "You have such strength, I feel extremely relieved. Regardless of winning or losing, I can see that you all have made progress. Today is a grand day for the Qi Yun Hou Fu, everyone will be rewarded!"

  Qī Yún Hòu stood up with a majestic posture, looking even more regal on the throne. Qī Yún Hòu's gaze fell upon Xiāo Líng, revealing an excited smile.

  A great joyous day?

  Everyone who heard this would understand that it was referring to Xiao Ling's breakthrough to the Golden Body realm.

  It's naturally a tremendous joy for a Marquis manor to have someone break through to the Golden Body Realm!

  "We got lucky..."

  Many of the slaves and servants in their hearts were somewhat delighted, the rewards given to them by Qi Yunhou may be very little compared to those who were granted surnames, but for their humble status, it was already quite generous.

  "Besides the reward, I have another important announcement to make!" The gaze of Ji Yunhou Ru Jue swept across the crowd, and the scene fell silent instantly, with no one daring to make a sound.
