Ling's Planet is a planet for cultivating immortals that is completely controlled by the Ling family.
No other clans dominate this area, save the Ling clan. Leveraging vast resources and a profound foundation in cultivation, the Ling family has nurtured numerous Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators over the generations. As direct descendants of the patriarch, Ling Ruoxi and Ling Ruochen are held in high regard, considered the future core heirs of the Ling family.
However, at this moment, Ling Ruoxi was lying on the soft cushion in a Ge You-like posture, leisurely eating spiritual fruits and flipping through the battle record rankings of the spiritual battlefield out of boredom.
Ling Ruochen on the side was concentrating, his eyes shining, his hands dancing quickly on the console, controlling the Youyu Sword Armor to fight for points in the King's Rank Competition.
"Tsk, that was so close!" Ling Ruochen slapped his thigh in annoyance, and controlled the mecha to do a beautiful side flip, avoiding the bombardment of the enemy rune cannon. Immediately afterwards, a series of sword energy poured out like a torrential rain, instantly cutting down the opponent's two Jindan-level mechas on the battlefield.
Ling Ruoxi glanced at him sideways and said lazily, "Can you take it easy? What's the point of rushing for points every day? You're facing those lousy teams at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and you kill them one by one. How can you have fun fighting them?"
Ling Ruochen snorted without even turning his head, "What do you know? I'm going to reach 30 King Stars. Then I'll sign up for the King Challenge and see who dares to look down on me!"
Ling Ruoxi sneered: "Bah! You? Don't lose and embarrass my Ling family!"
As the two were arguing, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"drop--"
A light curtain appeared, and the identity of the person coming was clearly shown as Ling Tian (the head of the Ling family).
The two siblings sat up straight in an instant. Ling Ruoxi even swept up the scattered spiritual fruit peels on the ground as if by reflex, and sat upright, looking like a dignified lady.
Ling Ruochen also hurriedly withdrew from the spiritual battlefield and ran to open the door with a smile on his face.
"Dad, why are you here?" Ling Ruoxi greeted him pretending to be well-behaved.
As Ling Tian walked in, he took a quick look and saw Ling Ruoxi's appearance. He snorted coldly, "How can you be a lady from a noble family?"
Ling Ruoxi laughed dryly: "Uh... I'm usually very dignified. I was just relaxing just now."
Ling Tian naturally didn't believe it. After all, he had long heard rumors of his daughter leading the "massacre" of enemies on the battlefields of the Spirit Realm. However, he didn't bother to care. After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, it wasn't about elegance, but about who had the biggest fist.
Ling Tian's eyes swept across the room, and his gaze stopped at the scene of the spiritual battlefield that Ling Ruochen had just exited.
He frowned slightly: "You guys... have been playing this lately?"
Ling Ruoxi replied confidently, "Of course, Dad, you're out! Now it's not just us playing, almost all the young people in the world of immortal cultivation are training in the Spirit Realm Battlefield. Did you know that even the Star Lord Mansion has established a special Spirit Realm Battlefield training camp to cultivate young Jindan cultivators?"
Ling Tian was slightly stunned.
Of course, he knew the influence of the Spirit Realm Battlefield on the world of immortal cultivation, but he didn't expect it to be so popular.
However, when his gaze fell back on the battle scene of Youyu Sword Armor, his expression suddenly changed.
Something is wrong!
The Youyu Sword Armor's attack method, movement speed, psychic output, and even shield strength have clearly exceeded the standards of ordinary Jindan peak mechas!
Ling Tian said in a deep voice: "Ruochen, has your mecha... been specially modified?"
Ling Ruochen scratched his head and chuckled, "Well... Dad, you know, my sister knows a super powerful guy named Zero."
Ling Tian raised his eyebrows: "Number Zero?"
Ling Ruoxi added: "It's the mysterious mecha master I mentioned to you. He improved our mechas. Not only the Youyu Sword Armor, but also my Cangqiong Sword Armor was modified by him!"
Ling Tian's heart was shocked.
Of course, he knew that there were many mecha masters in the world of immortal cultivation, but to be able to make the performance of a Jindan-level mecha break through the conventional upper limit was not something that only an "expert" could do, but something that a **"cross-era innovator"** could do!
Ling Tian stared at the screen intently, carefully analyzing the combat data of the Youyu Sword Armor. After a moment, his pupils contracted slightly.
Its psychic power output far surpassed the norm, even approaching the experimental model of the Nascent Soul-level mecha that the Ling family had secretly researched! Its movement speed was astonishing, and each maneuver was incredibly precise, as if optimized by some special psychic engine! Its shield strength was incredibly abnormal, nearly ten times that of an ordinary Jindan mecha!
Ling Tian's breathing hitched slightly as he muttered to himself, "This... this is impossible. Even the three major mecha companies, Qixing, Qingyu, and Taicang, can't produce this kind of super-standard Jindan-level mecha at this stage!"
Ling Ruoxi smiled proudly: "So, my boss is awesome, right?"
Ling Tian took a deep breath and suddenly asked, "Who is this Zero?"
Ling Ruoxi and Ling Ruochen looked at each other and answered in unison:
"have no idea!"
Ling Tian: “…???”
Ling Tian frowned: "You've been following him for so long, and you don't even know his identity?"
Ling Ruoxi shrugged. "The boss is very mysterious and never reveals his background. We suspect he might be the heir of some hidden holy land, but he never admits it."
Ling Ruochen added, "But what is certain is that his understanding of mechas far exceeds that of all current mecha engineers! And... his combat skills are also top-notch."
Ling Tian was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What about his cultivation?"
Ling Ruoxi curled her lips and replied with a smile: "Qi training stage!"
Ling Tian: “…???”
The mecha master who can transform a super-standard Jindan-level mecha is only in the Qi training stage?
Are you kidding me?!
Ling Tian felt that his three views had been completely overturned.
Ling Tian closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
If Zero is really a disciple of some hidden holy land, why is his cultivation still at the Qi training stage?
If he is not from the hidden holy land, then where does his knowledge of mechas come from?
More importantly... his technical level has clearly surpassed the existing Jindan-level mecha theory. So, what is his ultimate goal?
A cultivator in the Qi training stage, yet he was able to surpass the top engineers of all the major forces in mecha technology, and even crushed his opponents in the King's Division with his astonishing combat awareness in the Spirit Realm battlefield...
This number zero is definitely not as simple as it seems.
Ling Tian suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze deep, and muttered to himself: "Perhaps, this Zero is the real variable in the entire world of cultivation..."
Ling Ruoxi and Ling Ruochen looked at each other and smiled proudly.
"Dad, how is it? Do you regret not meeting our boss earlier?" Ling Ruoxi asked with a smile.
Ling Tian shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Perhaps, you have really made an extraordinary friend this time."
He lowered his head and looked at the scene of Youyu Sword Armor fighting, his eyes flickering slightly, and he thought for a long time.
The Ling family should perhaps pay more attention to this mysterious Zero...
