Li Ming naturally had no idea what the others were thinking.

Ling Yongyi was completely convinced and had no doubt about Li Ming's strength and talent.

"Brother Li's talent is so great that I think even the true disciples of those holy lands are not far behind you. I'm afraid even the reincarnation of ancient immortals and gods would not be more talented than you."

Li Ming asked with some curiosity:

"You also believe in the reincarnation of gods and immortals?"

Ling Yong thought for a moment, then looked at Li Ming and said:

"I heard from my family elders that those great supernatural beings among the ancient immortals and gods, although their ranks fell due to the great calamity that brought about the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, were protected by the Heavenly Emperor and entrusted to the heaven and earth. Occasionally, they would descend to earth over thousands of years, possessing innate divine abilities, and some were even born with treasures."

"Even in the islands of the East China Sea, there is a legend of an ancient god manifesting himself."

"oh?"

"I would like to hear the details."

Li Ming suddenly became interested; he was still somewhat interested in these things.

As his strength grew, he realized that the world was far more complex than he had imagined.

Compared to these established clans and sacred sites with complete lineages, independent cultivators are unaware of so many secrets.

Ling Yongyi cleared his throat and said with a slight sigh:

"Since the great calamity of antiquity, all races have fought each other, but the dragon race still reigns supreme and dominates the world for a time."

"After all, the dragon race's talent and background far surpass those of other races... and most importantly, the dragon race's reproductive ability is also quite good. With countless dragon species, it can always give birth to strong individuals."

"Even my Xuanhuang Realm is the same."

"Ten thousand years ago, a dragon lord with extraordinary magical power appeared in the East Sea. He called himself the Dragon King of the East Sea. His dragon generals were powerful, and he had countless dragon sons. He ravaged the islands of the human race and caused a great deal of turmoil..."

"And what about the great powers of my human race?"

Li Ming's heart stirred slightly, as if he had guessed something.

"At that time, it was said that the Azure Emperor had already passed away, and the Azure Heaven God King had also disappeared without a trace. The entire Eastern Region was in chaos, and no one cared about the Dragon Clan..."

Ling Yongyi's expression turned solemn, and he changed the subject:

"Just then, a powerful figure with an extremely bloodthirsty nature appeared in the Eastern Region. Along the way, he subdued demons and punished evil, marching towards the East Sea. He killed countless dragon sons, and even extracted the tendons and scales of dozens of true dragons to forge a set of dragon scale armor. Afterward, he severely injured the East Sea Dragon King and quelled the turmoil in the East Sea."

"And this great being left behind only one title... the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas."

Three altars and seas...

Li Ming's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something:

"The Great God of the Three Altars and the Seas..."

The so-called Three Altars refer to the realms of Heaven, Earth, and Water, signifying all sentient beings in all realms.

In Buddhism, the assembly of saints refers to a seat where the virtues of the assembly are as profound as the ocean.

The Three Altars Sea Gathering Great God means a great god of war with boundless divine power throughout the universe.

To live up to this title, one's strength must be unparalleled.

Li Ming couldn't help but recall a legendary figure mentioned in a novel from his previous life. This figure had an extraordinary background, combined the power of various religions, and also caused a great disturbance in the East Sea. He also quelled the chaos of the Dragon Clan and subdued the demons of the Ninety-Six Caves. He was a well-known and powerful figure.

However, this person is no pushover. Although he has the heart of a child, he is extremely bloodthirsty and is also known as a demon child.

"Brother Li, have you also heard of this great master?"

"After the great calamity of antiquity, there are many things I don't know. I only know a little from the incomplete Daoist scriptures unearthed from the ancient secret realm."

Ling Yongyi noticed something unusual about Li Ming's expression and his heart stirred slightly.

Even with this person from a remote place, whose talent was terrifying, he dared not be certain that his background was as simple as it seemed.

"I know a little bit, about the same as what you know."

Li Ming came to his senses and said:

"oh."

Ling Yong nodded, becoming even more certain of his thoughts.

In ancient times, there were countless gods, demons, immortals, and Buddhas in the heavens, and the names of the great gods from all sides were sung throughout the heavens. However, after the great calamity, only a few were able to leave their names behind.

However, the fame of this great god of the Three Altars and Seas has faded even after millions of years.

After the turmoil was quelled, he disappeared without a trace, and over time, he became just a legend.

If it weren't for the Ling family's long history and clear record of this matter, he would have had no idea or belief in its existence.

Composing himself, Ling Yongyi said with a sincere expression:

“Brother Li, you have come from the Great Xuan. With your talent, you can go to any holy land. If you don’t mind, you can become a guest elder of my Ling family.”

They will enjoy the highest treatment, on par with the clan elders. Whether it's cultivation resources or other treasures, the Ling family will agree to anything within their power.

As long as you don't harm the Ling family in the future, it's fine.

Ling Yongyi originally wanted to win over Li Ming and fight him personally, firstly to find out the truth, and secondly to give an explanation to the rest of the family. However, the strength and potential that Li Ming showed undoubtedly far exceeded his expectations.

Ling Yongyi, representing the Ling family directly, offered Li Ming the best possible terms.

It can be said that it is full of sincerity.

It required almost nothing from Li Ming.

This was also a gamble for him. He had observed Li Ming's deeds and concluded that Li Ming was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and would certainly not be the kind of person who would forget kindness.

"With the help of the Ling family, I can cultivate in peace for a while, which is not bad."

Li Ming pondered silently.

The Great Xuan Dynasty has too many powerful forces at its disposal, and he doesn't want to get involved, nor would he offer such good treatment.

Now that he's a newcomer, with the help of the local tyrant Ling family, he'll surely be able to leverage their power to grow rapidly.

Thinking of this, Li Ming nodded:

“Brother Ling, since you have extended such a sincere invitation, I will stay at the Ling family for a while. Even after I leave, if you need any help, I will do my utmost to assist you.”

Ling Yong was overjoyed when he saw Li Ming agree.

The world is in turmoil, and powerful figures from all sides have issued warnings. Many major forces have begun to open their gates wide, and some predict that this will be an unprecedented upheaval.

Therefore, in this situation, it is crucial to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances and make early preparations.

Ling Yongyi then affirmed:

"Brother Li, you can make any other requests you may have."

Li Ming's heart stirred. He didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the invitation. His goal was to break through to the next level and improve himself as quickly as possible. He immediately said, "I can have any cultivation resources for the Enlightenment Realm of any attribute. In addition, I need the essence of the Five Elements of the Primordial Heaven."

The cultivation of the Enlightenment Realm is quite different.

First, it requires the martial artist to comprehend the principles of the Dao. For example, a martial artist who practices the Dao of Fire needs to comprehend the profound principles of the Dao of Fire.

Secondly, it requires external resources to evolve its inner world.

He possesses exceptional comprehension, making it easy for him to comprehend the Great Dao and advance its principles; he simply needs some resources to evolve his inner world.

"The essence of the five elements innately... My Ling family doesn't have any. If I have any information about such things, I will inform you immediately."

Ling Yong frowned.

The essence of the Five Elements is a wondrous substance born innately, divided into the categories of Geng Metal, Jia Wood, Gui Water, Li Fire, and Kan Earth.

It's something that can only be encountered by chance.

Martial artists who follow the Five Elements path are willing to pay any price for their innate essence.

Generally speaking, only some holy lands and dynasties have some reserves.

Or perhaps some ancient secret realms have emerged, where one can find some treasures.

The reason Li Ming needed it was to use it to cultivate a supreme supernatural power.

The indestructible golden body of chaos.

It is a body-refining divine power recorded in the Chaos Heavenly Scripture. Once mastered, it is enough to exempt one from the Three Calamities, Five Tribulations, and Nine Disasters, and to be immune to all laws.

The first level requires the essence of the five elements innately.

After cultivation, one's body is protected by five-colored divine light, which can restrain all things and forces of the five elements.
