Chapter 82: Silver-Winged Peng Bird, How to Dominate Baoshan Prefecture!
Under everyone's gaze, a hundred-meter-sized silver-white light sphere floated out from the core of the Falling Moon Domain. When it reached an altitude of a kilometer, the radiance dissipated, revealing a silver-white giant Peng bird with a wingspan of a hundred meters. The silver-white Peng bird flapped its wings gently, causing a slight ripple in the surrounding space.
(In Chinese Mythology the Peng is a giant bird that transforms from a Kun which is a giant fish. The peng would be alot like a Roc while the Kun could be likened to the Leviathan.)
Lin Xunxian narrowed his eyes. The power of space was a level that only those above the Soul Formation Realm could touch.
At this moment, the silver-white Peng bird cautiously looked at Lin Xunxian. The long sword in the young man's hand indeed brought a threatening force that could endanger its life.
In the past, it could have easily escaped using its spatial talent. But this time, it dared not because its intuition told it that before it could use spatial power, the young man's sword would fall on it.
"Come over!" Lin Xunxian waved at the silver-white Peng bird and said.
The silver-white Peng bird rolled its eyes and didn't move. Lin Xunxian's long sword dropped slightly. The space flashed, and the silver-white giant Peng bird appeared at Lin Xunxian's feet. This made it perk up.
Before Lin Xunxian could react, a mysterious formation appeared on the back of the silver-white Peng bird, enveloping Lin Xunxian within it. After a moment, the formation dissipated. Many creatures outside hadn't yet reacted to everything that had just happened. The only thing they felt was why Lin Xunxian and the silver-white Peng bird's auras seemed to have become one.
Lin Xunxian was slightly stunned. When he understood, he couldn't help but smile.
"You're very sensible, aren't you?"
His original intention was just to get a close look at the silver-white Peng bird. He didn't expect it to submit so easily. To prevent him from attacking, it directly entered into a master-servant contract with him. This also made him doubt if he had been wrong before.
After all, the higher a monster's talent, the more difficult it was to enter into a master-servant contract with it. Truly talented monsters would rather self-destruct than agree to a contract. Unlike the silver-white Peng bird in front of him, which took any action when faced with danger.
This kind of monster, could it really control the power of space!? Lin Xunxian doubted himself. But soon, his doubts disappeared because the silver-white giant Peng bird had already proven this point to him.
The silver Peng bird spread its wings. The next moment, the two of them disappeared in the Falling Moon Domain. When they reappeared, they were already three thousand kilometers away.
"Goo!"
The silver-white Peng bird let out a proud screech. After signing the contract, it was in sync with Lin Xunxian's intentions and naturally sensed Lin Xunxian's doubts.
How could he tolerate such a thing!?
The scene before him confirmed his suspicions when the silver-white Peng bird indeed awakened its innate spatial abilities.
Lin Xunxian also speculated that the silver-white giant Peng bird was likely the spirit beast mentioned in the previous reports that had awakened special abilities.
"Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, a pair of wings, able to fly three thousand miles in the blink of an eye. What an amazing divine bird!" Even Lin Xunxian couldn't help but marvel at this moment.
"As expected of the power of space. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would need about a minute to cross three thousand miles of territory. That's great. Grand Ancestor has helped me so much, but I haven't given him a gift. If I give you to my ancestor, he'll surely like you." Lin Xunxian said with a happy smile.
He looked at the silver-white Peng bird with satisfaction. The bird was at a loss.
"What the hell? I just signed a contract with you, and you want to give me away? What kind of bullsit Grand Ancestor is worthy of me being a gift?"
"Bang!"
With that, the silver-white Peng bird had barely finished complaining when it felt a sharp pain in its head. Its whole body was struck by Lin Xunxian, causing it to fall from several kilometers in the sky, creating a thousand-meter-deep crater on the ground.
Lin Xunxian stood in the void, looking at the deep pit with a cold expression. The silver-white Peng bird could feel his thoughts, so it was no exception.
"Anyone who insults my ancestor shall die! Sit bird, if you dare to say a word against my ancestor, I'll risk getting severely injured by the power of the contract and kill you right here."
As it flew out of the deep pit, the silver-white Peng bird, which was about to explode in anger, looked at Lin Xunxian with confusion.
"No need, buddy. Is it necessary? I was just complaining! He's your Grand Ancestor, not your parent."
This thought flashed through the silver Peng bird's mind. It didn't dare to linger on it for even a moment. It knew that the ancestor Lin Xunxian mentioned was an untouchable topic. Its own life was more important, and it had already signed a contract. Losing its life would be a heavy loss.
Lin Xunxian didn't explain anything to the silver-white Peng bird. He brought the creature through the Falling Moon Domain, exchanging greetings with the Lin family members there. Then, he headed straight for the Baolin Mountain Range.
Meanwhile, at the entrances to the nine Third Rank secret Realm, Lin Zhongba led thirty-one Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Lin family and nearly two thousand Qi Condensation cultivators. Needless to say, the seven realms previously controlled by the three major sects were now abandoned.
The Lin family's takeover went smoothly. The other two realms were jointly developed by the five Golden Core sects. The sects originally intended to negotiate with the Lin family. They had occupied these two realms for less than half a month, and the development costs hadn't been recovered yet. They couldn't accept the fact that they had to give them up.
Fortunately, Lin Zhongba killed the sect leaders with a single strike. Everything became exceptionally smooth. Not to mention the Golden Core clans, who seemed to lack brains, and they wouldn't do something as foolish as staying in Baoshan Prefecture.
On the other hand, Lin Ran was responsible for taking over other resources in Baoshan Prefecture. After all, this vast prefecture not only had two spiritual vein realms as resources.
As a representative of the Lin family, Lin Shanhai came into contact with the various factions that had originally resided in Baoshan Prefecture. He only expressed one attitude: the resources they had occupied were still theirs. From now on, they should regard the Lin family as their superiors and double their annual tribute, making it 4.4%. In times of need, they would answer the call.
At the same time, Lin Shanhai also observed the newcomers in Baoshan Prefecture to see if there were suitable individuals. If so, he would offer them some resources to persuade them to settle in Baoshan Prefecture. From now on, the Lin family was the supreme sect. The resources for settling included spiritual veins, spiritual realms, and some other things.
Any power that wishes to survive requires spiritual veins.
Fortunately, Baoshan Prefecture was not lacking in low-level spiritual veins. The Lin family had a limited number of people, and it was unrealistic to fully develop them all. To ensure the prosperity of Baoshan Prefecture and expand their long-term benefits, Lin Xuan offered the Lin family's proposal to deal with Baoshan Prefecture.
Naturally, the Lin family members all agreed and resolutely executed the plan!
