Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan - Chapter 44: Immortal Swordsmanship!

Furthermore…

Lin Xuan was most concerned that Hongshan County was about to give birth to a Heavenly Spirit!

With the awakening of his bloodline, Lin Xuan had gradually remembered some hazy memories related to the inheritance of the Heaven Swallowing Divine Python clan. Among them were vague records about Heavenly Spirits. According to the bloodline, devouring a Heavenly Spirit was greatly beneficial to the Heaven Swallowing Divine Python clan.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan felt a scorching gaze on him. Lowering his head, he saw Lin Ran looking at him intently, her eyes filled with anticipation and eagerness.

Lin Xuan smiled inwardly. This little girl had been itching to go out and have some fun lately. At sixteen years of age, how could she possibly be willing to stay in one place all the time?

During this time, she had taken care of him, which was a bit of a hardship.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan turned his gaze toward Lin Xiuqi and Lin Shanhai.

“Your plans are good!”

With just a single sentence, Lin Xiuqi and Lin Shanhai’s faces lit up with smiles. It seemed that Grand Ancestor approved of their plan.

“However, a mere Hongshan County isn’t worth my personal visit,” Lin Xuan remarked. “Let Zhongba and Lin Ran handle it.”

As he spoke, Lin Xuan’s thoughts shifted, and a palm-sized white scale peeled off from his body and landed in Lin Ran’s hand.

Lin Xuan explained, noticing the puzzled expressions on their faces, “This scale contains a part of my divine essence and can unleash a portion of my power. It guarantees your safety, along with Zhongba, up to the Seventh Revolution of the Golden Core.”

Lin Xuan spoke with confidence. The divine essence within this scale could utilize his innate talents, although its power was somewhat diminished, roughly equivalent to the level before his transformation.

But don’t forget, when he was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he was able to obliterate a Golden Core monster created from the Heavenly Dao Tribulation. Now, with his cultivation breakthrough to the Second Level of the Golden Core, the power of this scale had naturally multiplied.

Beside the lake, Lin Xiuqi, Lin Shanhai, and Lin Ran gazed in astonishment at the scale in Lin Ran’s hand.

They had always speculated about Grand Ancestor’s power but were unsure of the exact level. They had considered possibilities such as the Fifth, Sixth, or even the Seventh Level of the Golden Core. However, Grand Ancestor had just revealed that a single scale could unleash invincible power up to the Seventh Level of the Golden Core.

Although they had a deep understanding of Grand Ancestor’s invincibility, hearing it confirmed still left them astounded.

Lin Ran carefully stored the white scale, her face filled with excitement.

Observing this, Lin Xiuqi smiled. It seemed that he had nothing to worry about for their mission to Hongshan County. Especially with their uncle, Lin Zhongba, accompanying them, Lin Xiuqi felt completely at ease.

In the current Lin family, if one were to ask who held the position of the strongest combatant after Grand Ancestor, it wasn’t Lin Shanhai, who was at the later Stage of Foundation Establishment, nor was it Lin Xunxian, who comprehended the Dao and the Sword Intent, and practiced the Purple Heaven Sword Scripture.

The title went to their one hundred and nine-year-old uncle, Lin Zhongba.

Logically, Lin Xunxian and Lin Zhongba both had an understanding of the Dao Heart State. Lin Xunxian even had comprehended Sword Intent and practiced the Purple Heaven Sword Scripture, which should make him stronger than Lin Zhongba, a hundred-year-old man.

However, Lin Xiuqi had to admit that their uncle had a certain legendary aura about him. Three months ago, during the Transformation in the Pool of Shedding Mortality, as Lin Zhongba condensed his high-grade spiritual roots, Lin Zhongba unexpectedly entered a realm of true enlightenment.

The over a thousand ordinary master skills he had mastered underwent a complete transformation, turning into a set of extraordinary and peculiar abilities. Most of these abilities didn’t possess substantial power individually. They could only be considered unique. However, when combined, their power was astonishing.

Especially among them were a few abilities that had transformed to be nearly comparable to innate talents.

Even Lin Xuan, upon seeing Lin Zhongba’s information panel, couldn’t help but feel shocked and envious. This old man had indeed transformed into a monster.

It’s worth mentioning that Lin Zhongba hadn’t practiced the Purple Heaven Sword Scripture like Lin Xunxian, and he hadn’t even practiced Lin Xuan’s condensed version of the Heaven and Earth Sword Scripture. Instead, he had created his unique technique, the “Immortal and Mortal Decision.”

This was the name of Lin Zhongba’s self-created technique. According to his explanation, the technique had appeared in an infinite black space during his enlightenment, with thousands of points of light suspended within the space. Each one gave him the sensation of mastering an ordinary skill.

These points of light continuously released information, which eventually converged in his mind, forming the contents of the Immortal and Mortal Decision. The method of practicing this technique was also straightforward. Lin Zhongba simply continued to meditate on mundane matters and delve deeper into the skills he had mastered.

His cultivation would naturally advance, and the abilities would evolve on their own.

This miraculous technique, even Lin Xuan, couldn’t help but marvel when he learned about it. However, it was clear that this technique was suitable for Lin Zhongba alone, and others shouldn’t even think about it.

Of course, Lin Zhongba’s legendary achievements didn’t stop there. When he emerged from the Pool of Shedding Mortality, his cultivation had already reached the middle Layer of Foundation Establishment due to the influence of his enlightenment. After devouring Lin Xuan’s Python Seed, he directly advanced to the later stage.

Three months ago, Lin Xunxian had curiously sparred with Lin Zhongba. The result was that, with Lin Xuan present, Lin Xunxian was tormented to the point of doubting life.
