Inside the mansion, Ling Wei Long, Ling Cheng, Elder Mo, and other elders were desperately waiting for the good news.
This about-to-be-born child was blessed by the Morning Stars, destined to shine in the future.
"Waa! Waa! Waa!"
Just as they were waiting desperately, they suddenly heard the sound of a baby's cry. Their cultivation was profound, so hearing a newborn baby's cry coming from afar was not a problem for them.
When the baby's cry was heard, they revealed joyful expressions on their faces and hurried over to see the child.
When they reached the room, everyone stopped. Only Ling Wei Long, Ling Cheng, and Elder Mo entered.
As soon as they entered the room, three ladies appeared before their eyes.
A very beautiful but weak lady was lying on the bed and her face was pale. This lady was Lady Ye Lihua, Ling Cheng's beautiful wife.
Beside her stood a middle-aged lady who was playing with a newborn baby in her hand. This middle-aged lady was also very beautiful and the smile she revealed was so blissful that it made all the people who entered the room feel comfort in their hearts for some reason.
This middle-aged lady was Ling Wei Long's wife and Ling Cheng's mother. At the same time, she was also lady Ye Lihua's blood aunt. Her name was Ye Moling and she was the sister of the Ye Family's leader.
Other than Ye Lihua and Ye Xueling, there was another middle-aged lady. But unlike the two ladies, she was not that beautiful. This middle-aged lady was the midwife that helped lady Ye Lihua give birth to a son.
"My son!"
Ling Cheng called out in happiness and hurriedly wanted to take his son in his arms, but he was pulled back by a strong hand. Ling Wei Long completely ignored his own son and took the newborn child in his arms.
His eyes were shining brightly as he looked at the cute face of this child who has his eyes closed. He seemed to be sleeping.

Ling Wei Long constantly nodded his head and laughed out loud. Then he spoke again: "You are my, Ling Wei Long's grandson. You are blessed by the Morning Stars and are destined to rise above everyone else in the Land of Morning Stars. From today onward, your name will be Ling Xiaolong."
When Ling Wei Long named the child, the child opened his eyes for the first time. His eyes flashed with white light as he looked into the eyes of Ling Wei Long.
Ling Wei Long, who was laughing just now, abruptly stopped. It is because the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. He found himself standing in the dark void, holding the newborn child in his arm.
He observed his surrounding but did not find anything. But when he raised his head, he was so shocked that he could not come back to his senses even after a long time.
It is because he found a humongous Giant standing not far away. He was holding a spear in one hand and a blade in the other hand. A boundless aura could be felt coming out from his body that made Ling Wei Long, one of the strongest people in the entire Land of Morning Stars, wants to kneel down.
The Giant suddenly turned his head and looked down at Ling Wei Long. It was at this time Ling Wei Long noticed the giant's eyes. His eyes were flashing with mysterious green light.
When Ling Wei Long looked into the giant's eyes, he shuddered for some reason. He felt as if there was no secret he could keep from those pair of green eyes. Those eyes seemed to have seen through everything about him.
This caused Ling Wei Long to sweat profusely and a cold chill ran down his spine. He did not dare to say a single word.
Fortunately, the giant did not observe him for long, instead, he stared down and looked at the newborn child in his hands.
When the giant did this, Ling Wei Long became nervous. He did not know who this giant was or what he was planning to do, but he definitely could not let anything happen to Ling Xiaolong who was just born.
But what could he do?
He might be one of the strongest people in the Land of Morning Stars, but in front of this Giant, he found himself as weak as an ant.
He tried to hide Long Xiaolong behind, but he was shocked to discover that he could not move at all. It was as if he was bound by invisible chains, making him completely unable to move.
He could only helplessly watch as the giant extended his hand that was holding the spear, and touched the child's forehead. The spear suddenly glowed with light and entered the child's body through his forehead. Then a flash of light could be seen moving at lightning speed on the child's body and only stopped when it reached the child's right hand.
An imprint in the shape of a spear appeared on the child's right hand.
After that, Ling Wei Long saw the giant extending his left hand that was holding a spear.
The same process was repeated and a new imprint appeared on the child's left hand. This was an imprint of a blade.
After the giant was done with this, he glanced at Ling Wei Long again, causing Ling Wei Long's soul to shudder. Fortunately, the giant did not do anything more and disappeared.
It was also at this time Ling Wei Long came back to his senses and found himself still standing inside the room. He saw everyone staring at him with nervous faces.
"Father?"
"Umm?"
Upon being called out, Ling Wei Long looked at Ling Cheng, only to hear from him: "What happened? Why were you not responding just now?"
Ling Wei Long realized that everything he saw might just be an illusion. He heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head, saying that nothing happened, he was just thinking of something.
After that, he once again focused on the child in his arms. Then he looked at the child's hands curiously. Obviously, he wanted to see if everything he saw was an illusion or not.
When he saw the child's hands, his body again shudder. It is because he saw the imprints of the spear and blade slowly disappearing.
What does it mean?
It means everything he saw before was not an illusion but reality.
Then... Who was that giant?
Why did he give a spear and a blade to this child in his arms?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was not strange for weapons to enter their owner's body and stay hidden for as long as they were not summoned by their owner again. But what he just witnessed was very strange and terrifying.
'Whether it is a blessing or a curse will be revealed soon!'
Ling Wei Long silently muttered in his heart and then gave Ling Xiaolong to Ling Cheng.
Ling Cheng happily received his child and started foolishly laughing. He saw the cute child staring at him, as if he was trying to show an annoyed expression, but it instead made him look even cuter. Everyone's heart was blissful at this moment.
"Elder Mo, look at my child. Please calculate what his future will be like. He has received the blessings of Morning Stars, he should be like a mighty king, right?" Ling Cheng brought Ling Xiaolong to Elder Mo and asked.
Elder Mo did not say anything, he only looked at Ling Xiaolong with his completely white eyes and was about to calculate something, but at this moment, something happened.
Several powerful auras were felt coming in their direction.
Ling Wei Long frowned and walked out of the room, Ling Cheng and Elder Mo also followed behind him.
As soon as they came out, they saw a man running toward them. His face was filled with a serious expression.
As soon as he saw Ling Wei Long, he hurriedly bowed and spoke: "Leader, several guests have arrived. Leader of Ye Family, Star Fire Hall, East Rising Sect, and Heavenly Joy Palace are also among them."
"Let's go!"
Ling Wei Long nodded and personally went to welcome all the people. The people mentioned were all powerful people, on Ling Wei Long's equal footing.
They soon arrived in a huge hall where several people were comfortably chatting with each other while sitting on high throne-like chairs.
As soon as Ling Wei Long entered the hall, all the people stood up to welcome him.
"Haha... Everyone, please sit down!"
Ling Wei Long laughed, waved his hand, and went to sit on the throne in the middle which also represented his identity as the Leader of the Illusionary Spirit Gate.
Everyone in the hall seemed to know each other for a very long time. None of them waste their time ceaselessly praising Ling Wei Long, they directly started with the main topic.
"Leader Wei, the previous great phenomena seemed to be related to your Illusionary Spirit Gate. Could you tell us what exactly happened which caused that phenomenon to appear?"
