The Ling Heavenly Palace. On the balcony stood a handsome middle-aged man by the name of Ling Fang. He was looking down at the peaks of the mountains as his aura subconsciously gushed out and made everything bow down in reverence with a hint of fear.This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. On his hand was an invitation card from the Celestial Academy, the heaven and dreams for all geniuses in the godly realm. Every single teacher there had a bare minimum of a holy lord cultivation. To top if off, the elders were world kings and the principle was rumored to be an empyrean who was one step away from true divinity. What does it mean to be an empyrean? Respect, power and a near immortal life span. Who wouldn¡¯t want to dream about being an empyrean. However, at the courtyard of the Ling Heavenly Palace resided a young teenager, still ignorant of this world. Ling Tian released an aura of a divine, one of the key factors of identifying an empyrean breaking into the true divinity realm. As soon as he acquired enough celestial qi, Ling Tian started his breakthrough. Interestingly enough, the tyrannical tribulations that were supposed to prevent him from breaking through stopped and fused with his body instead, as if acknowledging him as their master. After his breakthrough, he went back inside the palace not knowing the commotion he caused outside. ====== At dinner table of the Ling Heavenly Palace, Ling Tian was chatting with his parents and sister as usual but suddenly he felt something was different as if they were trying to awkwardly tell him something. ¡°Hello sweetie how is my cute little baby doing¡± Surprised, Ling tian faced the beautiful and young-looking woman with a wry smile. ¡°Mum, I told you to stop calling me a baby, I¡¯m going to be 13 starting from today¡± Suddenly his dad walks in with a golden envelope and chuckles at his sons remark. ¡°Little Tian, you do know that you will be stuck looking like a kid, forever right? Once you break through to true divinity you don¡¯t age anymore.¡± Shocked, he fell into silence as he started to gather his thoughts. How am I going to stop looking like a child now? I knew I shouldn¡¯t have broken through at such a young age. Now I am stuck with this baby face forever. Unbeknownst to him, a beautiful maiden at around the same age has already fallen for him. ¡°For your 13th birthday, your mother and I have prepared something special for you¡± His dad slowly opens the golden envelope he has been holding at the table for the whole time. ¡°This is an acceptance letter to the Celestial Academy; all the procedures have already been sorted out by me. Don¡¯t worry you don¡¯t have to take the entrance exam, the principle is an old friend of mine.¡± Ling Tian tries to say something but ends up mumbling something only he could hear than shouts ¡°DAD THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I¡¯M GOING, I¡¯M PROBABLY MORE POWERFUL THAN EVERYONE THERE ANYWAYS.¡± ¡°Yeah, what am I going to do without that little brother Tian, I can¡¯t sleep if I don¡¯t have my little hugging pillow¡± his sister casually added. With an interesting turn of events his mother had to explain their reasons for sending him there ¡°Sweetie, we know that if you go the academy, you¡¯ll probably be the most powerful there with ease, but you have to learn about the outside world. Also, you need to know how to talk with people other than us and maybe you could even find a girlfriend¡± Not knowing how to reply, Ling Tian could only respond with a ¡°yes¡± because that was his mother. No matter what his mother wanted him to do , he would do it as he always listened to her without retorting. Chapter 2 Chapter 2: Heading to the academy While still a bit lost in thought, Ling Tian prepared to head for the academy. ¡°Take care son, remember to visit us¡± shouted his parents as they looked like they just lost a treasure. In a matter of seconds, he summoned his spirit beast. The nine-inferno dragon, the ruler of the bestial world. ¡°I remember my parents told me to not attract too much attention, they said that I should disguise my cultivation as a holy lord stage¡± pondered Ling Tian as he flew over all the cities. As he reached the front gate of the academy, he saw a old man with a slightly hunched back and noticed he had cultivation just a step lower than his own. ¡°Little one, you must be Ling Tian. Your father told me all about you, what a genius you are to be able to break through to the peak of holy lord realm at just the age of 13.¡± Ling Tian was confused at first but realized he must have been the principle since no one had such high cultivation in this academy. ¡°This junior pays his respects to senior¡± Ling Tian quickly said as he bowed down. It¡¯s basic courtesy to respect the principle of this academy, right? Even though he is weaker than me, he is still a friend of my father, so I should give a certain amount of respect. ¡°No need to show such courtesy, your father and I go way back. Just call me old Fang or Ye Fang if you want¡± From behind the gates came a young divine maiden still in her early teens. ¡°Grandpa, can I go out and play with you today? Please let me go out, mum and dad have locked me here for so long, forcing me to cultivate, I¡¯m only a step away from holy lord now!¡± As she rushed outside and jumped onto her grandpa to give him a hug, she immediately noticed Ling Tian.The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. ¡°Ahhh, who is he grandpa¡± She looked at him with an interested look. Still recalling the little boy, she met 3 years ago at the Ling Palace. ¡°Well he is going to be a new student like all the people who pass the entrance exam.¡± Old fang chuckled. ¡°Grandpa, you mean he doesn¡¯t need to take the entrance exam? I thought you never bend the rules for anyone when it comes to the academy. Even I had to do them, and I am nearly a holy lord.¡± The little girl pouted. ¡°Well little Hua, he is a peak holy lord you know¡± Ling Tian could only keep his mouth shut. Looks like the outer world isn¡¯t as powerful as I thought. It would be bad to attract too much attention, I must pretend to be a holy lord for as long as possible. ¡°Hello, my name is Fang Hua, can I have yours little brother¡± Having no social interaction with anyone or the same age, Ling Tian could only blush and muster up an awkward greeting. ¡°My name is Ling Tian. And I¡­. I am not younger than you, I am already 13.¡± ¡°So can I call you brother Tian then?¡± Fang Hua said perfectly, clearly experienced in the ways of socializing. ¡°Ok then please accept my gift¡± Not knowing why he felt so weird around her, Ling Tian found a dagger he made in his interspatial ring. ¡°Eh? How do you know I use a dagger¡± Although Ling Tian used a technique on her that shows her weapon of choice, he couldn¡¯t really say he did that since it was a technique only world kings were able to use. ¡°Even though your hands are sleek and slender, they are clearly well trained, so I thought you must use a dagger¡± ¡°Thank you, brother Tian.¡± Fang Hua¡¯s face was full of smiles as she briefly inspected the data he gave her. However she noticed a particular aura around it, though it was well hidden. It was clearly forged by someone of the true divinity realm, a realm higher than her own grandfather. ¡°Brother Tian, is it really ok to gift it to me? Shouldn¡¯t you use it for yourself since it is such a precious and powerful weapon?¡± At this point, Ling Tian was just confused. True divinity weapons are precious? Back at his home, he could make them whenever he wanted to and even gave half step true divinity weapons out to his guards. ¡°Of course it is, I already use a Godly Monarch weapon¡± Ling Tian casually said without thinking anything of it. As the son of the one and only Divine emperor, who is considered to be at the peak of cultivation. He even had divine emperor ranked weapons. Old fang who seemed to be forgotten was stunned at the moment but suddenly came back from his delusions beating the other old geezers in the school tournaments. Nearly forgetting that he had to attend as one of the judges of the entrance exam. He told his granddaughter to show Ling Tian around the academy while he sorts out the procedures of the entrance test as he quickly rushed to the trial grounds.
