Chapter 2208 Fairy Linglong’s ntal Breakdown (1)
“Conferred God King?” the two female cultivators asked hesitantly.
A cultivator who had reached God King realm pinnacle, as long as he was able to earn the recognition of a God Monarch, could be granted a confernt. This confernt would entitle them to greater powers, making them the strongest existence beneath the God Monarchs.
Those who could not receive a confernt from a God Monarch would find their cultivation capped. No matter how talented they were, they would only be a little more powerful than ordinary God Kings.
“Indeed!” Fairy Linglong nodded.
Her initial plan was to reserve the confernt for Luo Qiqi after Baiye Qinghong’s death, but the latter had chosen to leave with Zhang Xuan instead.
Nevertheless, everything still turned out fine in the end. While the Sky of Linglong had lost a Conferred God King, it could potentially gain two more if the confernt went through. That would put it on par with the rest of the Nine Skies.
Seeing how those two were hesitant, Fairy Linglong frowned. “Are you unwilling to beco my Conferred God King?”
“We would be glad if the confernt grants us greater powers than before, but...” The quiet and reserved lady paused for a brief mont here before continuing. “If we beco your Conferred God King, will we have to follow your orders unconditionally, such that we’ll have to turn against our kin as long as you order us to?”
Fairy Linglong chuckled after hearing the other party’s question. “You have misunderstood. Becoming a Conferred God King ans to receive the acknowledgent from a territory of the Firmant, thus entitling you to the Anima of Yearning of those living in the area.
“If you receive the acknowledgent from a territory within the Sky of Linglong, you will be considered my subordinate, but there is no restriction on the confernt that forces you to obey my orders unconditionally.
“If a Conferred God King had to obey every single one of their God Monarch’s orders, that wouldn’t be a Conferred God King but a puppet!”
Hearing those words, the two female cultivators nodded in realization.
“If that’s the case, we are willing to beco the Conferred God Kings of the Sky of Linglong!”
“Good!”
Fairy Linglong raised her hand, and a brilliant light embraced the two female cultivators.
At the sa instant, the countless lives living within Sky of Linglong heard a voice sounding in their heads.
“To the people of the Sky of Linglong, heed my words. For her imprudence and dishonorable actions, Baiye Qinghong has been stripped of her confernt. I hereby declare that Wang Ying and Wei Ruyan will be replacing her as Conferred God Kings of the Sky of Linglong!”
The countless lifeforms of the Sky of Linglong imdiately saw the figures of two beautiful ladies in their heads, and they hurriedly kneeled down.
“Paying respects to the Conferred God King Wang Ying and Conferred God King Wei Ruyan!”
The lifespan of a Conferred God King exceeded a hundred thousand years, so every confernt represented the rise of a lasting major power.
For a long ti, the Sky of Linglong had only had two Conferred God Kings. When news started spreading that Baiye Qinghong had been killed, many were worried that the Sky of Linglong would lose the power to curb the other Skies. Yet, contrary to that, Fairy Linglong had conferred two new God Kings right away.
Not all cultivators who had reached God King realm pinnacle could be conferred. Those who were able to receive the confernt were all exceptional individuals who possessed talent beyond their peers.
Hong long!
With the submission of the populace, the two young ladies imdiately felt a powerful will seeping into their bodies. As if they had been recognized by the world, they found that they were able to tap into a greater reserve of power from the world.
“Is that the Will of the World?”
The two female cultivators widened their eyes.
Fairy Linglong chuckled softly as she answered their doubts. “Receiving the confernt of a God Monarch won’t affect your zhenqi or cultivation. However, your soul will receive the acknowledgent from the Will of the World. This allows you to truly tap into the powers of the world, thus increasing your fighting prowess significantly.”
Conferred God Kings were not powerful because of their superior cultivation or purer zhenqi. Rather, it was because of the rights they received as a result of the confernt.
These rights ca from the acknowledgent from the Will of the World, and it allowed them to tap into a reserve of power far beyond what any God Kings could hope to match.
“I see...”
Feeling the greatness of the power, the eyes of the two female cultivators glowed in excitent.
From the mont they received the acknowledgent from the Will of the World, they realized that even though the power was conferred to them by Fairy Linglong, unless they died or gave up on it voluntarily, it was impossible for anyone to take this power away from them.
Not even Fairy Linglong had the authority to revoke these rights!
Thank you, Your Sovereignty!” The two of them bowed down deeply as they voiced their gratitude.
Fairy Linglong nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the two young ladies dotingly. “Aren’t you going to call teacher?”
She was the one who had taken them from the Celestial Mountain, and she had used the power of the Spaceti Mirror to accelerate their growth and offered them guidance from ti to ti. If not for her help, there was no way they could have cleared the trial required for the confernt so quickly.
Their relationship had never been officially acknowledged by either side, but Fairy Linglong could feel the sentints of a teacher and a student between them.
This was also the first ti that she had accepted anyone as her disciple.
She had not spent much ti with these two female cultivators, but she was very fond of them. Wang Yin was reserved, but she was extrely kind to those around her. Wei Ruyan was cold, but she was extrely loyal to those whom she was close to.
Fairy Linglong thought that it would be great if she could have these two as her disciples.
“Pardon us, Your Sovereignty, but the both of us ntioned previously that we already have a teacher...” Wang Ying clasped her fist.
“I know that you already have a teacher, but how can he compare with ? He’s just the person who has guided you through the first phase of your journey!” Fairy Linglong frowned.
She had learned that these two had a teacher back when she was still fetching them from the Celestial Mountain. Back then, they had initially resisted leaving with her, and they had insisted on leaving a ssage for their teacher.
And to be frank, it was the respectful attitude that they had toward their teacher that made her even more satisfied with them.
She had thought that they would forget about their previous teacher with ti and favor her instead, but who could have known that that only teacher they recognized was still him?
It was not that she could not understand their loyalty, but she was a God Monarch!
As long as she gave the word, there were countless people in the world who would do anything to beco her disciple.
Yet, after all she had done for these two, they still refused to acknowledge her as their teacher...
Just what was so good about their previous teacher!
In the end, was their teacher not nothing more than an ordinary God who offered them so guidance in the earlier phases of their cultivation? Was there really a need for them to go this far for him?
“Your Sovereignty, I will have to ask you not to insult our teacher,” Wei Ruyan said. “He has done far too much for us to ever repay him, and if we really have to choose between the two, we can only return our cultivation to you.”
“Your Sovereignty, he’s the only teacher we have recognized in this lifeti, and this will never change,” Wang Ying said. “Please pardon our obstinacy.”
“It can’t be helped then...”
Fairy Linglong could only shake her head regretfully after seeing how determined those two were. After heaving a deep sigh, she looked at them and asked, “Do you know of the Flood of Spiritual Energy?”
Wang Ying nodded. “We have heard of it.”
The news had been going around furiously in the Firmant. Even though they had been in seclusion most of the ti, they had still been able to hear a thing or two from the guards.
If not for the Flood of Spiritual Energy, even if their talent was not too bad, there was no way a God Monarch would regard them so highly as to go all out to help them raise their cultivation.
“The Flood of Spiritual Energy happens once every decade, and it’s a major affair in the Nine Skies,” Fairy Linglong explained. “During that period, even Conferred God Kings and God Kings can easily lose their lives.
“Even though you have beco Conferred God Kings, you still aren’t the strongest of them all yet. Similar to how I found you on the Celestial Mountain, the other God Monarchs have also managed to find their own successors. These successors are bound to receive personal guidance from their respective God Monarchs, so we can expect them to be extrely difficult opponents to deal with. If you don’t acknowledge as your teacher, I won’t be able to impart more advanced battle techniques to you. That will put you in a very dangerous position against them, and you might even lose your lives!
“Putting everything aside, have you heard of the young man known as Zheng Yang whom the Blazing Sun Monarch took away with him? According to what I’ve heard, that young man received his confernt several days ago, and in terms of fighting prowess, he’s able to stand his ground against so of the veteran Conferred God Kings. If you face him during the Flood of Spiritual Energy, the chances of you winning are really slim...”
“We have heard of him...” Wang Ying nodded. “He’s my Fourth Junior!”
