The Ling Family is a prominent immortal clan with a long and storied history. Since the last War of Demon Sealing, the family began to rise in influence, remaining a mainstay of the Wuji Sect for thousands of years, with an unbroken line of Deity Transformation and Nascent Soul experts.
The most powerful cultivator of the previous generation was Ling Yunzhou. Later, with the addition of Ling Yungao, the family boasted two Deity Transformation experts, an unrivaled level of prestige. When Ling Yunzhou married Jiang Shangyue, the beloved daughter of the sect master, the Ling family’s influence reached its zenith—with his wife also being a Deity Transformation expert and the successor to the sect leadership, the family’s prosperity seemed secured for at least another thousand years.
However, after the couple died in battle at the Ming River, the Ling family’s influence waned. Even so, with Ling Yungao serving as the new sect master, they managed to maintain their standing.
