A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

A formation within a formation can be destroyed by brute force, but throughout history, no more than three people have been able to break a formation by brute force. One is the former Demon King, the second is the Venerable One who became a god, and the third is Feng Jiutian.

Ling Yuan had set up a formation within a formation according to Feng Jiutian's realm, but she had destroyed it quite thoroughly, which put his mind at ease.

"Old man, I'm leaving."

At the end, Ling Yuan turned back to Xuanji Zi and whispered, "Take good care of my disciple; she is my only hope."

Immediately afterwards, his body dispersed into specks of golden light, which gathered around Feng Jiutian and merged into him along the meridians!

"This……"

Xuanji Zi was shocked. How could this be!

What he never expected was that Ling Yuan would actually merge his entire soul with Feng Jiutian, and all that was in his soul was Ling Yuan's strength!

This means that if Feng Jiutian fully absorbs Ling Yuan's soul, she will completely inherit Ling Yuan's array formation techniques, barrier techniques, and restoration techniques!

Even more so, she is deepening her cultivation, and there is a great possibility that she will surpass Ling Yuan, while Ling Yuan will disappear from the world forever.

No one, except for their closest relatives, would sacrifice their soul in this way, unconditionally giving away all their knowledge and skills to others!

But... Ling Yuan did it.

After the initial shock, Xuanji Zi calmed down, though her heart was filled with complex emotions. She sat aside and waited for Feng Jiutian to merge with her.

The fusion of souls must not be interrupted, otherwise...

When the meridians are severed, the body dies.

……

After circulating her energy for one cycle, Feng Jiutian felt an extremely powerful yet submissive force merging into the elements she had absorbed. For some reason, her soul seemed to be faintly excited.

It ran for another two cycles.

Feng Jiutian's consciousness was gradually drawn away by a force, leaving him for another place and entering an extremely mysterious place.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a study, where a little boy sat quietly, holding a book in his hands.

"To orchestrate the world's strategy and observe its trends, those within the ranks are often confused, while outsiders see clearly..."

The little boy tossed his book onto the table, listlessly slumped over it, and muttered under his breath, "Formations are so boring..."

"Ah!" The little boy clapped his hands, suddenly realizing, "Why not learn the restoration techniques my father taught me!"

Only then did Feng Jiu realize that this little boy was Ling Yuan when he was a child, and this must be Ling Yuan's memory.

only……

Feng Jiutian frowned. She had seen that Gu Luo's memories represented inheritance, so did seeing Ling Yuan's memories also represent... inheritance?

But she didn't think deeply about the consequences. She saw Xiao Lingyuan practicing the restoration technique diligently, but he also had to memorize the formation under his mother's supervision, and his little face was miserable all day long.

To avoid practicing formations, Xiao Lingyuan came up with a plan. He would often disturb his father and mother in the middle of the night, causing them to run out disheveled and blushing. Over time, they relaxed their teaching of formations to Xiao Lingyuan.

Upon seeing this, Feng Jiutian smiled. This guy has been sly and mischievous since he was a child.

Despite causing trouble, Xiao Lingyuan did not slacken in his practice of restoration techniques; in fact, he became even more passionate about them. However, compared to his previous work, he became slightly lax in his practice of formations and barriers.

Soon, the sixteen-year-old Lingyuan became famous throughout the continent for advancing to the Grandmaster level at such a young age. At the most beautiful age, he met a girl.

That girl was gentle and generous. Although her cultivation level was slightly lower, she was kind to everyone and always had a smile on her lips. She was like a spring breeze that swept into Xiao Lingyuan's heart.

"Mother! I want to marry her!"

Young Lingyuan, holding the girl's hand, stood in the Ling family's main hall, his eyes bright, and said with unwavering resolve.

His mother had no expression on her face, remained silent and did not speak, but turned her head to look at Xiao Lingyuan's father.

"no!"

Lingyuan's father slammed his hand on the table, his face darkening slightly: "You're still too young, what kind of marriage is this!"

Judging from his expression, Feng Jiutian probably thought that the girl was just a liar who had deceived Xiao Lingyuan's feelings, which was why he said that.

But back then, young Lingyuan was rebellious and completely oblivious to his parents' thoughts. His face flushed red as he roared, "I'm going to marry her! If you don't agree, I'll move out! I'll marry her even if it kills me!"

"you!"

Lingyuan's father was so angry that he clutched his chest, unable to speak, his body trembling slightly.

"Snapped!"

His mother slapped Xiao Lingyuan across the face, and for the first time, the usually gentle mother roared in anger: "Apologize to your father!"

"I do not!"

With red eyes, Xiao Lingyuan pulled the girl away without looking back.

After the argument, Ling Yuan really did move out of the Ling family home and bought another mansion in the city as his new marital home with the girl.

Young Lingyuan soon married the girl.

After getting married, Xiao Lingyuan had no income, and his daughter still needed his care, so he used his restoration skills to make a living. Over time, he became famous in the city, and as his fame grew, more and more people came to him.

All of this happened in just two short years.

Two years later, Xiao Lingyuan's reputation reached its peak and became known to the imperial family. At that time, there were no so-called four kingdoms, and the human realm was collectively referred to as the Empire, which was controlled by one person.

The ruler of that empire was nearing the end of his life, and the royal family did not want him to die so easily, as there were still many things in the empire that needed his attention.

Upon learning that Xiao Lingyuan possessed the art of restoration, they immediately dispatched someone to Xiao Lingyuan's location to first offer him kind words of advice.

However, when Xiao Lingyuan heard that they were going to rescue a person who was on the verge of death, his expression immediately changed, and he drove the imperial people out!

"No matter the conditions, I won't go! Don't bother!" These were Ling Yuan's exact words at the time.

The imperial officials were furious, their faces turning ashen. Anyone would feel humiliated by being rejected, let alone a high-ranking imperial citizen. So, when they returned, they embellished their account.

The royal family felt that Ling Yuan was ungrateful, so they sent three immortal masters, five imperial tutors, and ten grandmasters, declaring that they would bring him back no matter the cost!

……

One evening, the girl made a magical soup for Xiao Lingyuan.

"This is good for your health."

The young woman whispered to the young scholar, "Drink more. I see you've been quite busy lately, and I can't really help you much..."

Xiao Lingyuan was overjoyed and smiled brightly: "I will do whatever my wife says!"

Xiao Lingyuan drank all the soup the girl made. The soup had been drugged, and before he passed out, he saw the girl's cold and unfamiliar face.
