Chapter 001: Soaring in the Sky
Over the past decade, the boy's father has tried every possible means in hopes of changing his physique. Although this father holds dominion over everything in the world, he remains at a loss and is still unable to set his son on the path of cultivation
Here lies a floating island, suspended not above the earth nor within the ocean, but in the vast cosmos, neither within the Three Realms nor among the Five Elements
It still doesn't work; I still cannot cultivate even a trace of true power. Is it destined by heaven that I can only be a useless person? The young man slowly opened his eyes, looked up at the sky, his face filled with bitterness
Shixing is a world of mortals, where most people are merely secular beings; however, there are also practitioners present. The largest nation there is called Da Qin
A beam of red light shot forth, landing on the mountain ridge where Ling Kong was located, revealing a young woman in a red dress
With a sigh, Ling Kong did not speak again
One's own father controls this realm, dividing the three worlds, and can be said to be the greatest existence within this realm. All of one's siblings can soar into the sky and roam the world, yet I, as the most beloved youngest son of my father Ling Luoyu, am merely a useless person who cannot cultivate. How could Ling Kong possibly accept this!
Even without true strength, this young man can still be regarded as a master of martial arts solely based on his physique
This woman in red is Ling Lan, the daughter of Ling Luoyu and Wang Qiao'er, and the elder sister of Ling Kong. However, compared to Ling Kong, Ling Lan is much luckier, having already attained strength comparable to that of an ordinary Immortal Emperor. After all, it has been several thousand years since Ling Luoyu divided the three realms, and Ling Lan was born over a thousand years earlier than Ling Kong, the youngest son.
Although Ling Kong is clear-headed, he has never given up on the idea of trying again and again. Time and again, his attempts have resulted in disappointment, yet he continues to persevere, still hoping that one day he can become an immortal or a deity, just like his parents and siblings, and exist eternally
It is still not the case; I am still unable to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation. Ling Kong let out a bitter smile and shook his head.
The wind blows gently, very lightly, very softly
I want to go to the beginning star at https://www.hetushu.com. Listening to everything about this star from my elder sister Ling Lan, her eyes shine like the stars in the sky
Especially when seeing my older siblings return from their travels in the outside world, the gaze I cast towards them is always tinged with a hint of envy
For the young man in white before him, there are the best cultivation techniques available for him to choose from, countless miraculous elixirs to enhance his training progress, and it can even be said that on the path of cultivation, anything he desires can be easily obtained
Everything about the Star of Beginning was articulated by Ling Lan, encompassing both certain dangers and many peculiarities, including things that were completely invisible within the floating islands
By the way, elder sister, I heard that both our father and mother hail from the Star of Origin in the human realm. I wonder if you have ever been to that Star of Origin?
But what of it? The youth still cannot cultivate, and still cannot even muster a trace of the true power that an ordinary warrior can possess
Blue skies and green trees, magnificent towers and jade palaces, surrounded by cranes soaring in the air, occasionally emitting gentle calls, ascending straight to the heavens
On a mountain ridge within this floating island, a young boy in white, around fourteen or fifteen years old, sits cross-legged here
However, the youth was not satisfied with this, for this youth was named Ling Kong, and his father was named Ling Luo Yu
Becoming an immortal or a deity seems unattainable for ordinary mortals, appearing merely as a luxury. However, for the inhabitants of this floating island, it is not a difficult endeavor at all. It can be said that nearly everyone on this island possesses the ability to soar through the skies and traverse the earth, rendering them virtually omnipotent
Indeed, everything the boy's father has done over the years has not been in vain. Although the boy still cannot cultivate true power, his body is many times stronger than that of an ordinary person. Even the fiercest tigers and leopards in the secular world can be easily defeated by the boy
With the abilities of his father, Ling Luoyu, and his own helpless constitution, Ling Kong understood that he might have to accept his fate, just like an ordinary mortal, living out his life in this place until the end
Younger brother, do you want to know about the matters concerning this star? I happened to have trained there for a period of time, so let me slowly tell you about it
"Little brother, how is it this time? Is the spiritual energy of this world still rejecting you, making it impossible for you to absorb it?" The woman in red looked at Ling Kong and asked with concern
Being able to enter this place is the greatest opportunity for them; every person who accidentally wanders here will undoubtedly leave as an extraordinary individual
His father, Ling Luoyu, possesses the physique of the Nine Suns, embodying utmost rigidity and yang, while his biological mother, Wang Qiao'er, has a body reshaped by the energy of the underworld, characterized by utmost softness and yin. Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that he was born with such a peculiar constitution as Ling Kong, a constitution that even Ling Luoyu finds utterly helpless against
Those who cultivate their practice go against the heavens, seizing the spiritual energy of the universe to nourish themselves
"Little brother, you need not be overly disheartened. Wasn't our father once unable to cultivate as well? Yet now, he is the master of this realm. What father can achieve, you too shall be able to accomplish!" Speaking of his father, Ling Luoyu, Ling Lan felt an immense pride. Although Ling Lan was fully aware that achieving what he had just said was exceedingly difficult, in the current situation, he simply could not think of any better words to comfort his younger brother, Ling Kong.
However, there are exceptions to the *picture* books, and at least this young man before me is one such exception
The sultry weather can make one feel irritable, while gloomy weather can lead to a sense of heaviness. Although the current weather brings a sense of ease and fills life with hope, the young man before me seems to be anything but happy
The seven-colored rays of light occasionally sweep across the horizon, accompanied by the glimmer of swords, landing in this region before vanishing from sight, creating a truly enchanting scene of a celestial paradise
Since my birth in the sky, I have been living above the Floating Island Sanctuary for over ten years. To say that I do not envy the outside world would be absolutely false
The wind still blows gently, remaining light and soft, just like a lover in the throes of passion, tenderly caressing their beloved's hair, so light that it intoxicates the heart, so soft that it breaks the heart
The spiritual energy within this floating island sanctuary is so rich that it is almost tangible. For every cultivator, spending a year here is equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation in the outside world. However, this young man's body rejects any spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth, making it impossible for him to harness it for his own use. It is precisely for this reason that he is unable to cultivate even a trace of true power.
Regardless of whether they are ordinary secular mortals or demons, ghosts, and immortals, for those who are aware of this place, it is a sacred land, the most mysterious place
