Chapter 977: The Immortal King Is Barely The Initial Starting Point For You...

"Girl, you shouldn't say absurd things...."

Ling Tian gave Feng Zhiyun a tired expression, but then showed a gaze full of indifference and with a cold tone he said, "Besides, I am much older than you imagine... I am even older than your grandfather, don't you think it's far-fetched for you to say that?"

Although Feng Ye looks like an old man of almost 60 years of appearance, Ling Tian could see that the average age on his body was a little over 5 thousand years, while he had lived over 10 thousand years, he might have even lived longer if not for the strange relationship of time and space in that last world where he could not properly perceive time. And added to Ling Tian's past life memories, he estimated that he could have lived several thousand years as well, even reaching dozens or hundreds of thousands of years due to being in a completely higher plane than the Immortal World where divine beings reside and the relativity of time and space is unknown.

Feng Ye listened to Ling Tian and again was startled inside. It was true, he never thought about Ling Tian's age since he looks young, Feng Ye thought that he might be a few decades old or maybe a little over 100 years old since Ling Tian comes from the legendary Immortal World where Immortals live and have power beyond them.

There are even legends and theories from ancient times that true immortals on the higher plane can live hundreds and thousands of years, reaching up to millions of years!

As long as the heavens exist, as well as the sun and the moon, immortal cultivators would be able to live on!

"Hmph! Do you think you'll scare me and change my mind? I wouldn't be surprised if you were a few of thousands of years old, even if you claim to have lived for ten thousand years I don't care!"

As if she had read Ling Tian's thoughts, Feng Zhiyun snorted without hesitation as she looked straight into Ling Tian's eyes, showing him that she wasn't joking. A feeling of grandeur emanated from her, as if demonstrating an aura full of wisdom yet majestic, as if she could see through everything, "You have managed to maintain your true youth, somehow proving that for your age you are still young. You may be an old man here, but in your world I am sure you are very young!"

"After all, if immortal cultivation is like mortal cultivation as you say, then the further you get to cultivate in a short time your appearance will remain just as young for a long time, just like us mortal cultivators. You are strong, Ling Tian, so you must have reached a very powerful level!"

"And the goal of immortal cultivation is to become immortal and long-lived, right? Living through the heavens, as long as the sun and moon exist, the stars shine and the universe continues, life will not stop! Age is just a number in the end, what matters is living just like the heavens eternally~!"

Despite not being someone from the immortal world, Feng Zhiyun undoubtedly had an understanding superior to ordinary thinking. She could see and comprehend things that would be almost impossible for others. Feng Zhiyun had a hunch that immortal cultivation might be similar to mortal cultivation, and Ling Tian was able to reach a great level and retain his youth despite being able to live for a few thousand years.

Ling Tian might have lived for a long time, but Feng Zhiyun had the mysterious hunch in her heart that Ling Tian was still young but he reached an overwhelming strength, something she might not understand at this moment.

And moreover, when Ling Tian healed her, Feng Zhiyun could feel that Ling Tian's soul was so pure and beautiful, and did not give her a dangerous or frightening feeling, as if Ling Tian was himself a calm and friendly young man, and not a hidden old monster, full of indifference, disdain and contempt for others.

Ling Tian looked at Feng Zhiyun before letting out a sigh inwardly. If he kept trying to draw a boundary between the two of them, it would definitely make things awkward when Ling Tian asked Feng Zhiyun for help. Although Ling Tian was sure that if she insisted on her position, Feng Zhiyun's stubbornness and brazenness would overwhelm him.

"Besides, I'm sure some of your wives are younger than you, or am I wrong? At least one of them must be almost my own age!" Feng Zhiyun grinned full of cunning, giving Ling Tian no chance to respond and defend himself. Not even a feeling of disgust or revulsion appeared in her gaze as she looked directly at Ling Tian's grown-man face, Feng Zhiyun still maintained that interest, admiration and infatuation towards Ling Tian.

Feng Zhiyun would barely turn 27 years old, but if the life expectancy in the world is taken into account, she is barely a baby who hasn't even learned to crawl, even if her strength already reached the pinnacle of the world!

If Ling Tian did not know that Feng Zhiyun belongs to this cultivation world, with just her mentality and thinking he would think that she would belong to the Immortal World. Even any cultivator of the Immortal World would think of Feng Zhiyun as just another immortal female cultivator.

"My granddaughter may be a bit persistent, but I hope you can forgive her. She has no malicious intentions towards you!"

Li Fengyuan and Feng Zhiyun, as well as Feng Ye and Feng Junze, clearly remembered that the dying old man, as well as those eyes in the sky, had said that Ling Tian was an Immortal King. What did that mean? Is an Immortal King a special title for very powerful people?

"Yes and no. In the past, I could easily kill Immortal Kings with just a thought, but my current strength is still too far away to be an Immortal King, so technically I'm not an Immortal King."

Ling Tian nodded calmly to Li Fengyuan, adding, "My true strength back then surpassed the Immortal King, but I fought against several enemies and unfortunately fell into their traps, so I fell to the lower plane while my strength weakened."

Cold air was breathed as silence ruled the place. How strong was Ling Tian that he could easily crush these so-called Immortal Kings who are world powerhouses in his words?

"Stronger than an Immortal King?" Li Fengyuan murmured in astonishment, not doubting Ling Tian's words.

After a long time of cultivating and concentrating on becoming stronger, Li Fengyuan also cultivated her mind by reading many books that the Feng family had. Her mentality expanded and she gained much knowledge; legends and rumors about the higher plane that related to the great Immortal World were engraved in Li Fengyuan's mind, giving her to understand that the words Ling Tian told her when they traveled were not rumors and that he seemed to come from this great legendary world.

It all made sense now. Ling Tian, being a young man but with much wisdom and experience as well as terrifying strength, should come from the great Immortal World!

"An Immortal King is a cultivator who has reached a specific realm, the Realm of Immortal Thrones, someone powerful and considered a world powerhouse in some parts of the Immortal World." Ling Tian replied with a smile to Li Fengyuan as his expression filled with confidence, "You will be able to reach the Immortal King realm as well! It's just a matter of time and effort, and you'll see that even in the future Immortal Kings will be nothing more than little ants!"

With the great talent she has for the way of the sword and Ling Tian's guidance, Li Fengyuan is destined to become a supreme swordswoman!

Reaching the Immortal Great Emperor is only a matter of time, while breaking through and becoming a Grand Supreme won't be difficult either!

"Do you believe that I can really reach the Immortal King realm in the future, my lord?" Li Fengyuan's eyes lit up at the thought of this new level of strength.

For Ling Tian to have high expectations for her undoubtedly made Li Fengyuan's heart flutter with joy and excitement!

"Then I will also have to work hard to become an Immortal Queen as well!" Feng Zhiyun chuckled excitedly. She still remembered clearly when Ling Tian had told her that he had high expectations about her when he handed her those two mysterious seeds and cured her. If she could not even ascend to the higher plane and continue to become strong, Feng Zhiyun would have no face and reason to want Ling Tian to accept her as his woman.

While looking at Ling Tian all the time, and after glancing at Li Fengyuan and Feng Zhiyun, Di Ji returned her attention on Ling Tian as she promised herself that she also had to reach the Immortal King so as not to disappoint her young master, so she can help him like the others!

Ling Tian noticed the fleeting glint in Di Ji's eyes, so he could understand what Di Ji was thinking. With his help and the new talent in her body thanks to the Three Winters Pill, Di Ji will also be able to reach the Immortal King in the future.

"The Immortal King is barely the initial starting point for you..." Ling Tian looked at Feng Zhiyun when he heard her words.

With Feng Zhiyun's talent, she would easily reach the Grand Supreme realm and for sure she would also be able to ascend to the territory of the gods in the future.
