NOVEL WEB Chapter 20: Members Of The Lin Family, Gather In The Back Mountain!
The Crossing Tribulation Realm was the Ninth Stage of Cultivation, the Pinnacle of Cultivation in this world and only Ninth Rank Forces had such powerhouse. It was easy to imagine the level of a technique created by such an existence.
In his sea of consciousness, the content of the Upper Purple Heaven Sword Manual appeared as rows of golden ancient characters, perhaps due to a direct infusion by the system. Lin Xuan could understand it directly.
In a short period, the foundational energy within his body began to flow according to the manual. Just after one week had passed, Lin Xuan could distinctly feel that the spiritual energy in his body had decreased slightly.
However, the quality of the spiritual energy had increased, and the spiritual energy itself had become sharper. Even his physical condition seemed to have improved somewhat. Lin Xuan couldn't help but marvel.
"Wow, no wonder it's the technique created by a Crossing Tribulation Realm existence. One week's worth of cultivation is almost enough to reduce a year's worth of cultivation. Once I master it, even if I don't have other conditions, I can condense at least a Seventh Rank high-grade Golden Core. It's a bit exaggerated!
"Furthermore, I have a hunch that this technique is also helpful for unlocking my own potential. If I keep practicing it, perhaps without the system, the awakening of the Heaven Swallowing Divine Python in my body will also improve.
"The problem of breaking through to Golden Core seems to have been resolved. Next, I just need some time. It seems I can shorten this time a bit."
Lin Xuan glanced at the Pool of Shedding Mortality benea At that thought, Lin Xuan began to send his spiritual sense.
…
In the Azure Heaven Mountain Hall,
Lin Xiuqi was discussing with the other members of the Lin Family on how to receive the various cultivators who would be arriving one after another.
Lin Shanhai's performance on the Nine Peaks Sect had already spread throughout the territory of Tianyuan Prefecture at a staggering speed. In just six hours of cultivation in the Source Pool, he had broken through a minor realm.
While it might not be considered a big deal within the Nine Peaks Sect, other external forces viewed Lin Shanhai of the Lin Family as an undisputed genius, a potential future Golden Core cultivator.
As a result, within just a day, more than ten leaders of the Foundation Establishment forces in the Tianyuan Prefecture territory had contacted Lin Xiuqi to personally congratulate the Lin Family on its promotion to a Second Rank power.
Lin Xiuqi was taken aback and could only inform them that the promotion celebration would be postponed by a week.
Tianyuan Prefecture was vast, and even for the Foundation Establishment cultivators, traveling from the periphery to Renhuai County took six days, covering over ten thousand kilometers.
"Family Head, our biggest problem right now is the shortage of manpower. Even if all our Lin Family cultivators participate, we won't have enough people to welcome the forces visiting in three days," Lin Xiuru, a Seventh Layer Qi practitioner, spoke with a hint of concern.
She was Lin Ran's aunt and had married a son-in-law into the Lin Family. The fame of the Lin Family naturally brought her joy, but the Lin Family's rise had been too rapid, and it was evident that the lower-level cultivators of the family couldn't keep up. The twenty-plus cultivators confirmed to arrive in a week already exceeded thirty.
The people present in the hall fell into silence, each one feeling a tinge of embarrassment, knowing that they had been holding back the family.
"Xiuru, this is an unavoidable issue. We can't create cultivators out of thin air," Lin Xiuqi shook his head and sighed.
The problem of the number of cultivators couldn't be solved. They would have to wait for new births in the Lin Family and hope that the children born had spiritual root potential. Moreover, cultivating them would take time, and it was clear that the problem of the quantity of lower-level Lin Family cultivators wouldn't be resolved in the next twenty years.
Suddenly, Lin Xiuqi's expression changed slightly, and he heard a voice from his Grand Ancestor in his ear, "Lin Xiuqi, take all of the Lin Family members to the lakes in the back mountains. Remember, everyone, including ordinary clan members."
"What's going on, Father?" Lin Ran noticed Lin Xiuqi's unusual expression and asked with concern.
Lin Xiuqi looked gravely at the people in the hall, "Grand Ancestor has passed down a message. All members of the Lin Family must go to the lake in the back mountain."
Hearing this, everyone in the Lin Family present in the hall changed their expressions simultaneously. They all knew who was responsible for bringing the Lin Family to its current status, and in the Lin Family, what the Grand Ancestor said was practically law.
"What are we waiting for, Big Brother? Let's go. Don't keep the Grand Ancestor waiting," Lin Xiuru stood up, her tone urgent.
She knew exactly how her three brothers had broken through to Foundation Establishment, and she had her own aspirations deep in her heart. Once she reached the Ninth Layer, she intended to request her Grand Ancestor to bestow her a Python Seed.
With that, she might have a chance to tread the path of Foundation Establishment that she had never dared to dream of before. Therefore, in her heart, Lin Xuan, the Grand Ancestor, was an unquestionable figure.
The other Lin Family members also rose in unison, ready to leave the hall and head to the lakes in the back mountains.
"Don't rush. Grand Ancestor specifically instructed to take all ordinary clan members as well," Lin Xiuqi said.
"All of you, get ready to move. Notify everyone at the fastest speed to arrive at the back mountain's lake." Lin Xiuqi added.
"Yes, Family Head."
"Lin Ran, go down the mountain and inform your Third Uncle."
"Yes, Father."
The Lin Family members in the hall didn't dare to delay and quickly left for the back mountain lakes.
Lin Xiuqi gazed in the direction of the back mountain lake with an inexplicable expression. What was his Grand Ancestor planning with such a significant move this time?
