Chapter 70: The Means To Change Fate Against The Sky, The Power Of The Immortal World
In Renhuai County, the Lin Family looked up at the sky with excitement on their faces. The gazes of the surrounding cultivators toward the Lin Family were filled with envy. In the cultivation world, such a situation was rare. The Lin Family had truly risen to great heights, and it was hard not to envy them.
Lin Xuan's expression changed.
"It's quite a coincidence that I've had a breakthrough too. With the addition of the second bloodline and the assistance of the Python Seed, the Lin Family can have a Golden Core Realm. It will be even easier to control the Baoshan Prefecture after becoming a Third Rank Golden Core force.
"And I'm about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, so the Lin Family must catch up to me."
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan's lips moved slightly. In the next moment, in the minds of Lin Xiuqi, Lin Shanhai, Lin Xunxian, Lin Zhongba, and Lin Ran, Lin Xuan's voice suddenly resounded.
"You five, prepare yourselves. I will help you break through to the Golden Core Realm."
Lin Shanhai, Lin Xunxian, Lin Zhongba, and Lin Ran were slightly stunned when they heard this. Then, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Grand Ancestor could actually help them condense their Golden Cores.
"Grand Ancestor, I'm still in the late Foundation Establishment Realm," Lin Xiuqi replied with an awkward expression nearby.
The last time Lin Xuan upgraded the Python Seed, Lin Xiuqi and other Lin Family cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment Realm were brought to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He had also benefited greatly, advancing to the late Foundation Establishment Realm. As the head of the Lin Family, his cultivation was somewhat of a burden.
Lin Xuan glanced at him and said without surprise, "I know. I have my ways. Just be mentally prepared."
What Lin Xiuqi was thinking, Lin Xuan naturally understood. In the past, he hadn't considered it because there was no need.
Because if he intervened, it would consume his own strength. Lin Xuan certainly wouldn't allow such a losing proposition to occur. However, things were different now.
The power of gods and demons within him could serve as the material for condensation. He could use one to assist Lin Xiuqi, the Lin Family's head. He could employ Swallow Heaven to devour any Nascent Soul Realm resources in the ring and then condense them back. What's not to like?
After all, in Lin Xuan's view, Lin Xiuqi was the most suitable one to be the Lin Family's head. He didn't want the Lin Family to cause any trouble after the change of leadership. If that were to happen, he wouldn't have to clean up the mess.
In the air, there was a slight tremor. Lin Xuan used bloodline connection to begin updating the ranks of the Python Seed in Lin Xiuqi and others. In all of Renhuai County, only Nangong Ruoxian gazed thoughtfully at the void as though sensing something. However, in the next moment, she was drawn to the commotion on the Lin Family's side.
Boom!
The first to feel this change was Lin Xiuqi. His cultivation instantly skyrocketed, breaking through to the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm. Accompanied by a black-gold column of light shooting into the sky. Lin Xiuqi's entire body shimmered with electric and black-gold energy, shrouding him in a black-golden aura.
His body involuntarily floated more than a kilometer above the ground.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Familiar tribulation thunder sounded, and a rolling thundercloud appeared out of nowhere, covering an area of thousands of miles. All the nearby cultivators were dumbfounded!
What's going on? Did the Lin Family head eat an elixir? Why did he suddenly break through from the late Foundation Establishment Realm to the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm? Moreover, from the current situation, it looked like he was about to summon the Golden Core Tribulation and step into the Golden Core realm!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
However, before the tens of thousands of cultivators on the scene could react… Four more columns of light shot into the sky, and a rich Golden Core Tribulation aura emanated from the light columns.
"What the heck is going on?"
In the distance, Fang Yan, who had just returned, watched in amazement as five people floated in mid-air, emitting columns of light. He was stunned.
At this moment, countless cultivators looked at Fang Yan with gratitude.
"Boss, you finally asked the question we wanted to ask."
Their heads were about to explode. They felt that the world view they had built for decades was about to collapse.
"Breaking through to the Golden Core realm, isn't that obvious?"
Lin Xuan's calm voice rang out, seemingly not surprised by the collective breakthrough of the Lin Family.
Nangong Ruoxian appeared as if she had anticipated this. Fang Yan looked at Lin Xuan in astonishment.
"Big brother, did you do all this? As expected of my Big Brother. Big Brother can help others break through to the Golden Core realm with a single thought."
Nangong Ruoxian and Fang Yan quickly accepted this. However, the ten thousand cultivators within a thousand miles of Renhuai County were not so calm. They watched the three individuals in shock.
No, this was a breakthrough to the Golden Core realm! Since when had it become so easy for five people to break through to the Golden Core realm? Had they not reacted at all?
However, when everyone understood the master's intention, they all took a sharp intake of breath. They couldn't believe their eyes as they gazed at Lin Xuan on the Azure Mountain. In that moment, they seemed to witness a divine presence.
This Grand Ancestor had just claimed that he was responsible for their simultaneous breakthroughs into the Golden Core realm. What kind of being could cause others to reach the Golden Core realm with a single thought?
However, the two prodigies from the Ancestral Temple standing beside Lin Xuan had no doubts. In other words, this was likely true. This Lin Family Ancestor indeed had the power to alter people's destinies.
Lin Xuan paid no attention to the reactions of the lower-level cultivators below. Instead, he looked up at the sky. Perhaps because all five of them were undergoing their tribulations simultaneously, the Golden Core tribulation clouds were much larger than usual. They had already traveled eight thousand miles and still had more to go.
Lin Xuan's eyes were locked onto the sky, and beside him, Nangong Ruoxian and Fang Yan watched the vast sea of clouds with curiosity. When they saw the eight-thousand-mile-wide black tribulation cloud, they exchanged astonished glances.
Ordinary late Foundation Establishment cultivators had tribulation clouds covering a range of only three to five hundred miles during the Golden Core tribulation. Those who could condense a Fourth Rank or higher middle-grade Golden Core had tribulation clouds that stretched over a thousand miles.
The combined tribulation clouds of the five Lin Family cultivators had already reached eight thousand miles and were still expanding. Hiss… that meant the five Lin Family cultivators were highly likely to condense upper-grade Golden Cores.
Helping others break through to the Golden Core realm wasn't surprising. Some people in the ancestral halls had special methods to achieve that. They could even help others break through to the Nascent Soul or even Soul Formation Realm in the blink of an eye. But they absolutely did not have the ability to help those who had broken through to produce upper-grade Golden Cores.
"After manifesting the Golden Core, I know that fate is in one's own hands, not determined by heaven!"
This was one of the most widely circulated phrases in the cultivation world. To some extent, it also symbolized the importance of the Golden Core realm for cultivators.
For truly powerful cultivators, the Golden Core realm was just the beginning of their cultivation journey. However, the quality of the Golden Core one initially condensed basically determined how far they could go in the future.
What kind of Golden Core one had determined the kind of Nascent Soul they would have, and the type of Nascent Soul determined the quality of the Soul Formation Realm. The path of cultivation began to intertwine from this point.
Even within the Ancestral Temple, a Seventh Rank Golden Core was considered a genius.
"Big brother, did you create the quality of their Golden Cores too?" Fang Yan couldn't help but ask curiously.
Lin Xuan glanced at him without denying it. Hearing this, Fang Yan was suddenly excited. "Big brother, how about we become sworn brothers? No, no, what's the point of becoming sworn brothers? Ancestor, from now on, you're the ancestor of my Fang family!
"Don't worry, my Fang family may not have much, but we have plenty of resources and spirit stones. I guarantee to provide ancestor with fourth and Fifth Rank resources as snacks.
"When ancestor have time, just create a few hundred or a thousand upper-grade Golden Core cultivators for my Fang family. We don't need too many requirements."
"Bang!"
With a thunderous noise, Lin Xuan's tail stopped where Fang Yan had been standing just now. He himself had turned into a streak of light, flying up once again. Perhaps, there were still mortals making wishes to him. Lin Xuan furrowed his brow. Finally, it became quiet.
On the side, Nangong Ruoxian's gaping mouth stopped her from saying anything further. In fact, it wasn't just Fang Yan. She was already prepared to have Lin Xuan join her Nangong family. Lin Xuan could set any conditions he wanted, as long as he agreed to join. It wasn't because of anything else, but because Lin Xuan's abilities were simply extraordinary.
If the powerful beings in the Ancestral Temple learned of this, they would probably want to capture Lin Xuan. Of course, this was just a thought.
Lin Xuan's karma, until it was fully understood, was not to be trifled with by the Ancestral Temple. Who knew if he was a reincarnation of some powerful figure from the immortal realm who had disappeared for millions of years? If they were unfortunate enough to cross paths with him, the entire human race would suffer.
In the vast sea of stars, such situations had occurred before. A hapless race had been directly annihilated by an awakened Great Power from the immortal realm. Even their world continent had been shattered in a single strike.
In just a moment, the tribulation clouds in the sky officially broke through ten thousand miles. Countless beings within the Tianyuan Predecture watched the darkening sky in shock. What had happened? Was the second Nascent Soul going to transcend the Soul Formation Dao Lord tribulation?
But why did it feel like the aura was much weaker than before?
