The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

When they returned to the training ground, they found that the three villains had disappeared.

Zhong Wanchou was left standing there all alone, looking utterly dejected.

Upon seeing Ling Feng and the others return, Zhong Wanchou was instantly energized, as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

He quickly ran towards Gan Baobao, then knelt down in front of her with a thud, and confessed:

"Baby, I know I was wrong, please forgive me! I did all this because I was so afraid of losing you!"

Seeing Zhong Wanchou's practiced kneeling posture made Ling Feng and the other two feel very embarrassed, after all, such a scene was really not suitable for outsiders to watch.

Ling Feng, in particular, watched as Zhong Wanchou knelt down and begged for mercy like a lapdog, and thought to himself that this guy must have done this kind of thing a lot before.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for Zhong Wanchou, and at the same time, he silently mourned for him for three seconds.

He then immediately realized that the three of them should not stay there any longer.

So he quietly pulled Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing away from the scene, leaving Zhong Wanchou and Gan Baobao some private space.

The three of them held hands and slowly walked into the distance, enjoying their precious time together.

Whether it was Zhong Ling's naturally lively and cheerful personality or her carefree nature, after walking a distance, she happily started introducing Wan Jie Valley to Ling Feng again.

This is my home!

Zhong Ling pointed to a valley ahead and said:

"This is Wanjie Valley, it's all my home."

Ling Feng looked at the valley in front of him. It was surrounded by mountains and lush trees, with a clear stream flowing through it. The environment was very beautiful.

Afterwards, she led Ling Feng and Mu Wanqing on a tour of the entire Wanjie Valley. Only then did Ling Feng remember that he seemed to have an unfinished sign-in task.

When I brought Zhong Ling back earlier, I was in such a hurry that I didn't want to face my mother-in-law's interrogation so soon, and I forgot to complete my mission.

This time, I encountered many trivial matters as soon as I arrived, and I didn't have time to complete the task. Now that I have some free time, I'll see what good things I can give this time.

"Ding"

"Check-in successful"

"Received sign-in reward: Automatic cultivation of cultivation techniques, with a cultivation time of ten years for any cultivation technique."

"Ding"

"The next sign-in task is to go to Tenryu Temple to sign in within half a month."

After reading the system rewards, Ling Feng couldn't help but frown, muttering to himself:

"This reward is much less than last time! Is it because I didn't do something right? Or is this just how the system is set up?"

He sighed helplessly as he pondered the matter.

After all, the system's rewards are of utmost importance to him. If he can receive generous rewards every time, it will greatly help him improve his strength.

"System, what's going on with this reward? Why is it less than last time?"

Then Ling Feng asked in confusion.

The system is quite considerate, answering all questions.

"Ding"

"The sign-in reward was doubled last time because it was the host's first time signing in."

After listening to the system's explanation, Ling Feng suddenly understood.

Oh, I see! But thinking about it, it makes sense. First-time sign-ins should definitely get some special treatment, otherwise how can they be motivated to keep playing?

With that thought in mind, Ling Feng stopped worrying about the small reward, figuring there would be other opportunities in the future.

The most important thing right now is to check the rewards.

Ling Feng couldn't wait to open the system interface and check his newly acquired rewards.

Automatic cultivation of techniques:

Once the host activates this function, all the cultivation techniques the host possesses will be automatically practiced at all times.

Even if the host is asleep or doing other things, it will not affect the cultivation process.

The cultivation period for any cultivation technique is ten years.

The host can choose any cultivation method to practice according to their own needs and instantly gain ten years of cultivation progress for that method.

The reward details are concise and clear, making them easy to understand at a glance.

He was so excited when he saw the "automatic cultivation technique" function that he almost jumped for joy.

Because he knew that ordinary people had very limited time for daily cultivation, at most only four or five hours a day.

However, with this magical system, he will no longer be limited by time, but can cultivate continuously around the clock, and even continue to improve his strength while sleeping.

In this way, one's cultivation speed will inevitably far exceed that of ordinary people, making one the focus of everyone's attention.

This was undoubtedly an exciting opportunity, filling him with anticipation and confidence to face future challenges.

Ling Feng didn't hesitate and immediately activated this heaven-defying artifact.

As the system notification sounded, Ling Feng felt a powerful force surge into his body, as if all the cells in his body had been activated, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

Ling Feng closed his eyes and felt the changes within his body.

He discovered that his martial arts skills seemed to be improving every moment, although the improvement was not significant, but the feeling was exceptionally clear.

He knew that this was the benefit of the divine artifact; it allowed him to continuously increase his strength.

"System, grant me ten years of cultivation time!"

Ling Feng silently recited in his heart.

The system responded quickly:

"You have been given an additional ten years of cultivation time. Please select the cultivation method you wish to improve."

After thinking for a moment, Ling Feng decided to dedicate the next ten years of his cultivation time to the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

After all, his current internal strength is only at a third-rate level, which is really not enough.

The simultaneous cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and the Northern Darkness Divine Skill should have been an overpowered ability, as it combined internal and external cultivation, making it virtually invincible.

However, due to the slow progress of his cultivation of the Northern Darkness Divine Art, his strength was not fully unleashed.

Ling Feng was well aware of this problem, so this time he did not hesitate to choose to use ten years of cultivation time to improve the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

As Ling Feng dedicated ten years of his cultivation time to the Northern Darkness Divine Art, he felt his cultivation level instantly leap from the late-stage peak of the third-rate to the mid-stage of the second-rate, and he even had some energy left over. It seems that the improvement was quite significant.

The three then toured the entire Wanjie Valley. When they returned to the Wanjie Valley reception hall...

The sky had completely darkened, and the entire Wanjie Valley was pitch black, with only candlelight burning in the reception hall, casting a faint glow.

After the three entered the reception room, they found that Zhong Wanchou and his wife were there, seemingly waiting for them to return.

Judging from their current appearance, Zhong Wanchou must have already coaxed Gan Baobao back to her senses, but it's unclear how he did it.

However, this is also good news. At least we won't have to face Gan Baobao's difficult behavior anymore, otherwise it would be quite a headache.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhong Wanchou and his wife began interrogating Ling Feng. After all, their little cabbage was about to be taken advantage of, so they had to get to the bottom of things.

Although Ling Feng didn't want to face it, he had no choice but to face it honestly since there was no way to avoid it now.

Ling Feng quickly explained his situation in a fairly accurate way, just like describing Mantuo Manor as an island in a lake. He certainly wouldn't reveal everything, after all, Gan Baobao and Madam Wang were rivals in love.

Moreover, Mu Wanqing's mother, Qin Hongmian, and Gan Baobao were fellow disciples, and Qin Hongmian and Madam Wang were mortal enemies, their relationship being like fire and water.

If Ling Feng were to reveal his true identity to Gan Baobao directly, things would definitely turn out very badly.

Fortunately, Ling Feng was quick-witted and cleverly covered up the incident. After all, who could have imagined that such a coincidence would happen in the world?

Moreover, although Gan Baobao and Madam Wang are rivals in love, they do not have much contact with each other.

After Ling Feng successfully deceived everyone, Gan Baobao and Zhong Wanchou adopted a neutral attitude towards the relationship between Zhong Ling and Ling Feng—neither supporting nor opposing it.

This attitude pleased Ling Feng greatly, as it was essentially a tacit acceptance of their stance.

Over the next few days, Ling Feng lived a carefree life in Wanjie Valley.

He was surrounded by beautiful women every day, and he was so happy that he forgot all about home.

However, the only drawback was that he had to sleep alone these days, since this was Wanjie Valley and Ling Feng dared not be too indulgent.

After a few days of blissful indulgence, Ling Feng finally snapped out of his daze.

He realized that he couldn't stay in this comfortable life forever.

After all, he's a time traveler! How could he be fooled by the beauty before him?

He has lofty ideals and ambitions, and he doesn't want to waste them like this.

Although he now possesses the formidable combat power of the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, he is well aware that this world is full of hidden talents and experts.

Take that mysterious sweeping monk from Shaolin Temple for example; he is at least a monstrous existence at the level of a grandmaster.

Thinking about this, Ling Feng realized that he had to keep working hard in order to gain a foothold in this world.

He came here not simply to dominate the world, but to become an invincible powerhouse.

Only in this way can he live up to his identity as someone who transmigrated with a system.

Therefore, he made up his mind to leave this place and pursue a higher realm.

When Ling Feng told everyone about his decision, both Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling felt very reluctant to part with him.

But they also knew that a man's ambition lies in all directions, and Ling Feng was destined to embark on his own journey.

Therefore, they could only suppress their inner pain and reluctance and nod to show their understanding.

In fact, they had also thought about traveling the world with Ling Feng, but reality prevented them from fulfilling their wish.

Especially Mu Wanqing, although she has already consummated her marriage with Ling Feng, she still needs to find her master, Shura Dao—who is actually her mother, Qin Hongmian.

This forced her to temporarily set aside her lingering feelings for Ling Feng and face the challenges of the future alone.

Of course, Ling Feng also promised her that when he left Dali, he would find her and travel the world together.

As for Zhong Ling, she herself wanted to follow, but Zhong Wanchou and Gan Baobao both disagreed. Gan Baobao had suffered losses before, so she didn't want her daughter to follow in her footsteps.

"Ling'er, listen to your mother, you're still too young, let's talk about it in a few years!"

Gan Baobao looked at Zhong Ling with a gentle expression and said.

"No, I want to go traveling the world with Brother Ling. I'm all grown up now and can take care of myself."

Zhong Ling pouted and said somewhat angrily.

"Ling'er, your father also disagrees with you going to travel the world with Ling Feng. The outside world is too dangerous. How can a girl like you run around like this?"

Zhong Wanchou also spoke up to offer advice.

"Hmph, you just want to keep me at home and not let me go out to play. I don't care, I must go on a journey with Brother Ling."

Zhong Ling said stubbornly.

"Ling'er, don't be so willful, okay? Your parents are doing this for your own good!" Gan Baobao earnestly advised.

"I won't listen, I won't listen! If you don't let me go, I'll kill myself!"

As Zhong Ling spoke, she picked up a pair of scissors and pretended to commit suicide.

"Ling'er, don't be impulsive! Let's talk this out!"

Upon seeing this, Zhong Wanchou and Gan Baobao panicked and quickly stepped forward to snatch the scissors from Zhong Ling's hand.

"Dad, Mom, please let me go! I promise I won't cause any trouble, I'll be a good boy and do what I'm told."

Zhong Ling seized the opportunity to act coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, we promise you. But you have to promise us you'll be careful and run away immediately if you encounter any danger, okay?"

Gan Baobao sighed helplessly and finally agreed to Zhong Ling's request.

"Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom!"

Zhong Ling jumped up with joy and hugged Zhong Wanchou and Gan Baobao.

"There's really nothing I can do against you."

Gan Baobao affectionately patted Zhong Ling's head, then turned to look at Zhong Wanchou:

"Since Ling'er insists so much, we have no choice but to agree to let her travel the world with Ling Feng."

"But Ling Feng is really something, daring to abduct my precious daughter. I'll definitely teach him a lesson next time I see him."

"Haha, Madam, calm down. Ling Feng is indeed a good young man. Ling'er shouldn't suffer if she follows him."

Zhong Wanchou smiled and comforted him.

"I hope so!"

Gan Baobao sighed helplessly, still feeling somewhat worried.

Because Ling Feng had to rush to the capital of Dali, and they didn't want Zhong Ling to go there, they decided to wait until Ling Feng left Dali before letting Zhong Ling travel with him.

Thus, Ling Feng had no choice but to travel alone to the capital of Dali, where he was going to keep his appointment.

Secondly, his next check-in location was Tianlong Temple in the Imperial City, so he had no choice but to go there.
