[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 Divine Golden Pills! Twelve bottles of Small Dao Liquid!]

…

As Lin Hongtu voiced his submission, the voice of the system sounded in Lin Xuan's mind thousands of miles away.

In a remote corner of Azure Heaven Mountain's lake, within Lin Xuan's actual body, the power of the Second Bloodline began to emerge. In his originally golden irises, a hint of purple emerged. Mysterious purple patterns appeared on his pristine body, and invisible lightning surged across Lin Xuan's form.

In an instant, although his cultivation didn't increase, his combat power multiplied several times. The Dao insights and meanings on the purple-gold Great Dao Golden Core seemed even richer than before.

Lin Xuan was slightly surprised. He had thought that it would take some time for the Second Bloodline to condense. Yet it had automatically completed after subduing the Hongshan Lin family. What's more, he could sense his distant actual body in Azure Heaven Mountain undergoing a baptism of myriad thunderbolts, transforming his bloodline.

Of course, there might be reasons why the Heavenly Dao didn't allow the birth of taboo bloodlines.

[Thunder Calamity Bloodline: At the beginning of the birth of the cultivation world, within the dense vitality of the first Great Dao lightning, a living being named 'Thunder Calamity' was conceived.

Thunder Calamity, the ancestor of lightning!

Those who possess the Thunder Calamity Bloodline can share control of lightning with the Heavenly Dao. When their bloodline is developed to its peak, they can summon the Great Dao lightning from the primordial times, capable of destroying all.]

Seeing the system's introduction to his Second Bloodline, Lin Xuan blinked. So, he shared control of the Heavenly Dao, which explained why the Heavenly Dao was so relentless in attacking him this time. This Second Bloodline was indeed extraordinary.

Now that he thought about it, both of the bloodlines within him seemed to have conflicts with the Heavenly Dao. The Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline had once swallowed a fragment of the Heavenly Dao, making it a wanted fugitive. The Thunder Calamity Bloodline, with its control over Heavenly Dao lightning, could possibly unleash tribulation lightning at will.

That made him wonder if the Lin family members would no longer need to undergo tribulations in the future. Without the Heavenly Dao thunder tribulations, the success rate of breaking through major realms would likely double.

Of course, everything had its pros and cons, and Heavenly Dao thunder tribulations also brought more than just destruction. Cultivators who hadn't experienced them might have incomplete transformations in their physical bodies and magical power, resulting in an overall lower potential and combat power than others.

Therefore, Lin Xuan wouldn't do this unless it was necessary. At most, he would provide a safety net for the Lin family members when they were facing their life-threatening tribulations.

Unnoticed by Lin Xuan, his second self and power projection were also undergoing changes. An aura that seemed capable of annihilating all living beings radiated from his colossal snake body of 300,000 meters. Purple lightning flashes appeared around his body and in the sky.

Everyone could feel that Lin Xuan was now much more dangerous than he was just a moment ago. On the side, Fairy Yunyao gazed at Lin Xuan as if she was looking at a monster. If she didn't misread it earlier, it seemed that this guy had awakened another bloodline, a lightning attribute bloodline, not inferior to the Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline.

Reacting to this, Lin Xuan immediately concealed his aura and looked at Lin Hongtu below, saying, "In the short term, someone from the Lin family should break through to the Golden Core Realm and promote the family to a Third Rank Golden Core force. At that time, the Lin family will occupy a prefecture. During this period, quickly recall all the clan members. I will personally take action to transport all of you to the Lin family's new territory."

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Lin Hongtu nodded.

"Don't worry, Senior. Hongtu will quickly recall our people from outside," Lin Hongtu said with determination.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan smiled, "Like Lin Ran and the others, you can call me 'Grand Ancestor'. 'Senior' sounds too formal."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hongtu's face filled with excitement, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Grand Ancestor!"

It wasn't just Lin Hongtu; Lin Ji, Lin Shimin, Lin Qing'er, and the thousands of Lin family members below couldn't help but reveal excited expressions on their faces at this moment.

Indeed! Who wouldn't want a powerful backing in the world of cultivation? And Lin Xuan's extraordinary strength was something the Hongshan Lin family had never even dared to dream of. Now, such a being was going to be their support.

In this instant, all the dissatisfaction that had arisen from Lin Hongtu's unilateral decision to merge the families vanished like smoke. Every member of the Lin family, from top to bottom, was excited and willing.

"We pay our respects to Grand Ancestor!"

All the Lin family members who had reacted followed the example of their patriarch and knelt on one knee, respectfully saluting Lin Xuan.

The sight of thousands of cultivators all kneeling together was nothing short of astonishing for the beings in Hongshan County.

Above the vast sky, Lin Xuan watched this scene and shook his head. He could only say that no one could escape the rule of true fragrance, whether in this world or any other.

"If that's the case, I'll leave the matters here to all of you. I'll take these two back first."

Lin Xuan said to Lin Hongtu. After speaking, he prepared to return to the Renhuai County of Tianyuan Prefecture with Lin Zhongba and Lin Ran. The Rainbow Maiden was very important to him, and he wanted to personally escort her back to ensure her safety.

Seeing this, Nangong Yunyao, who had been silent all this time, couldn't sit still any longer.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Lin Xuan turned around, looking down at Nangong Yunyao from above. He couldn't help but acknowledge that this woman was the most beautiful he had ever seen in both his past and present lives. Her curvaceous figure was perfectly accentuated by the white robe she wore, and few could compare to her in this regard. Her noble and ethereal aura made one uncontrollably want to conquer her.

Of course, Lin Xuan could only think about it; he hadn't forgotten that he was currently a snake. Therefore, Lin Xuan gazed at Nangong Yunyao with a calm expression, waiting for her to explain.
