Martial World's
Ch 430 - Return to Divine Phoenix Island
…

…
As Sky Fortune City entered the autumn, the days began to be filled with a faint chill.
In the ninth month, Crown Prince Yang Lin ascended the throne. The grand ceremony continued for a total of nine days. Before this, all the offices that had been cleaned and were still alive were once again restored to their former glory. They entered the palace again and again, being promoted continuously.
As for the officials who followed Yang Zhen, some were demoted and some were exiled. Although Yang Lin was a kind-hearted man, after becoming emperor he would also start to gradually show a cruel side.
In the middle of the ninth month, Lin Ming brought Qin Xingxuan back to his hometown in Green Mulberry City.
Prior to this, Yang Lin had already sent a summons to meet with Lin Ming's parents.
Yang Lin was clear that his life was protected and he would eventually be able to ascend the throne all because of Lin Ming. Although this was the great elegance of Lin Ming, there was no way Yang Lin could return the favor. What he could offer Lin Ming were common things like authority and money. However, these things were no longer important to Lin Ming.
However, Yang Lin was still a wise and intelligent character who knew the best way to do things in any situation. Since he could not offer anything that Lin Ming wanted, he would then bestow the title to Lin Ming's parents.
He referred to Lin Ming's father as the Duke of Lu County with a land coverage of over 500 miles. This Lu County also included Green Mulberry City within its borders. From then on, Green Mulberry City was the residence of the Lin Family.
As for Lin Ming's mother, she was given the title of a first-rate madame. Even Lin Xiaodong was given the title of a first-rate viscount.
These titles are awesome. Whether it was the duke or the first-class madame, none of them had official governing power, but they were titles still inferior to the prince or king, either, and is a top figure among any noble.
These titles are also hereditary. Once titled, they will not be removed unless a major crime is committed. As such, the Royal Palace would not easily bestow this noble title on others. Other than a time of great war or the founding of a nation, they would almost never be granted. If one thinks that they can receive this title during peacetime, then that is just nonsense.
It should be known that the title of viscount in Green Mulberry City would include a 30-mile castle as well as 1000 servants.
As for the several large families in Green Mulberry City, other than the Zhu Family who had gained some status because their daughter had become the empress' concubine, the other family heads were not even second-rate barons. As for commoners, the best among them could be considered wealthy nobles in the countryside.
Between the common people and the nobility there was an insurmountable gap. The nobles represent the most honorable position. Although the merchant families were large and powerful, in the minds of the common people, their social status was inferior to that of nobles.
So, for Lin Ming's parents, being able to accept titles and become a duke or madame was only a dream come true. This is an event worthy of grand celebration, and will also bring great honor to their ancestors.
As Lin Ming saw the happy expression on his parents' faces, he was very satisfied. He did not think that a common title like the mortal world would let his parents be this happy. The last time Lin Ming returned, even the pills he gave to those who would let them extend their lives by a hundred years did not cause his parents to be so happy.
As Lin Ming's mother lovingly sensed the imperial decree, her smile went from ear to ear. He decided that he would make a beautiful sandalwood box and then put an imperial edict in it. Then, when he passed through the next world, he would be able to raise his head up high when he saw his ancestor. Lin Ming was unsure whether to laugh or cry when he heard these ideas.
As Lin Mu happily spoke, a small baby cry was suddenly emitted from the west wing of the residence.
This baby was Lin Ming's younger brother.
Lin Ming had been stranded within the Divine Phoenix Mystic for nearly a year. Under Qin Ziya's protection, Lin Ming's parents had not even heard of Lin Ming's death news from beginning to end. They had lived a full year in peace, and even appeared a younger sister to Lin Ming.
These could all be accredited with Lin Ming pills. The couple who had worked hard for this half of their lives suddenly felt much younger. The wrinkles on their skin disappeared, and their bodies continued to improve. Now, husband and wife are no different from anyone else in their early thirties.
Lin Ming's sister was only a few months old and was still breastfeeding. His name was Lin Xiaoge, and his nickname was Little Pigeon.
Lin Ming really liked this cute baby. He took out a soul jade pendant from his spatial ring and placed it on Lin Xiaoge's neck.
This little baby arrived on time. Lin Ming was worried that his parents would be lonely after he left, but now that Little Pigeon was here, that would not be the case. Perhaps in the future there may also be another younger brother or sister, and they will also be able to inherit the family title. As for Little Pigeon, she might marry into the Royal Palace and become empress in the future. At that time, his parents should no longer have any regrets …
Lin Ming did not plan on telling his parents what had happened this year, but after the couple had been at home for a while, they found out what had happened. After Lin Mu heard this news, he was terrified out of his mind.
Lin Ming did not plan on telling his parents what had happened this year, but after the couple had been at home for a while, they found out what had happened. After Lin Mu heard this news, he was terrified out of his mind.
Especially after he heard that Lin Ming had immediately left the Sky Fortune Kingdom again, and this time it would be a very long time before he returned. At first Lin Mu's feeling of pleasure fell, and he didn't speak all day.
He had no idea what Lin Ming had experienced when he came out, but what he knew was that it would definitely be dangerous. Not only that, but he would not be able to see his son for several years. Lin Mu was not happy at all
The only one who could make Lin Mu smile was Qin Xingxuan. Although Lin Ming was only friends with Qin Xingxuan, in Lin Mu's opinion, since Lin Ming had brought her back to his house, it was the same as bringing a woman back to meet her in-laws. No matter how Lin Mu looked at it, he was very satisfied with this future wife. Qin Xingxuan had a good background, she was smart, kind, polite, and also very beautiful.
Lin Mu made some innuendo, asking many times when Lin Ming would marry and produce some grandchildren that he could hold. Lin Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry. She might as well wait for Little Pigeon to grow up and have some children of her own.
A martial artist travels all over the world and has no fixed home. It is impossible for them to take care of their own child. This was also the reason why most martial artists had children at a very late stage in their lives. Usually only when they have reached the end of their potential and become stable at whatever limit they are at will they consider having children. Normally, a Supreme Revolving Core Elder would not have children until they were at least a hundred years old.
Lin Ming stayed at home quietly for half a month. During this time, he did not cultivate much. Most of his time was spent accompanying his parents or flirting with the Little Pigeon.
It was only late at night that Lin Ming would meditate on the 'Great Desolate Halberd Art' left over from the Demon Emperor. The more he pondered about it, the deeper he found this cultivation method, and he also faced many difficulties.
Finally, the day of departure arrived. Lin Ming had to return to Divine Phoenix Island, and Qin Xingxuan would follow him there. As for his ties with the Seven Profound Valleys, they could already be considered finished.
Next day, early morning –
Autumn breeze blew, the leaves withered and yellow, and flocks of birds flew across the clear blue sky to the south. Lin Ming stood under the huge wings of Fireshine, all of his clothes flapping in the wind being blown by the flames.
Behind Lin Ming, Lin Mu covered his mouth, unable to resist the tears streaming down his cheeks.
Lin Fu also sighed. He was proud to have a son like this, but having a son like this also meant that his son was destined not to stay by their side. Otherwise, he would never be able to fly high.
"Dad, Mom, be careful!" Lin Ming knelt down and lowered his head to the ground three times. Then he jumped onto Fireshine's back. Fireshine opened its huge wings and soared into the sky with Lin Ming and Qin Xingxuan inside.
Vermillion Bird surged into heaven. The wind roared, and flames dyed the sky red …
Those who walk the path of martial arts are destined to be alone. They live long lives, and it is impossible for them to spend their years with family.
This is also the reason why many – Supreme Elders like the Sorcerer from the Southern Wilderness – will return to their homeland after so many years and complete the causal bond they hold with the world they once were they're familiar.
"Lin Ming, are we going straight to Divine Phoenix Island?" Qin Xingxuan asked from above Vermillion Bird.
"Yes, we're going straight to Divine Phoenix Island!"
