Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan

Lin Xuan glanced at Fang Yan. He had tasted the latter's endless chatter and shamelessness.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Fang family is also a family force. Are you sure your family will accept Lin Xunxian and Lin Zhongba?" Lin Xuan questioned.

Fang Yan confidently replied, "Big brother, you don't need to worry about that. The Fang family has over a million cultivators, but at least ten thousand of them are foreign cultivators and guest elders.

"Of course, I'm bringing them back not as guest elders, but as introductions to the young ladies of the Fang family. As long as they get married and have children, everything will improve."

Lin Xuan suddenly understood. Well, as a young man who wasn't even one year old like him, not understanding the intricacies of big families was normal.

However, Lin Xuan looked at Lin Zhongba and said, "Forget about Lin Xunxian, but Zhongba is already a hundred and nine years old. Are you sure there are young ladies in the Fang family willing to marry him?"

Fang Yan shook his head. "Big brother, you're still too inexperienced. As long as you're strong enough, have enough potential, there will be no shortage of women who like you, no matter where you go.

"I can say that when a girl from their family enters, even if not ten thousand, at least eight thousand of them are carefully selected. Moreover, when Lin Zhongba breaks through to the Golden Core Realm, his lifespan will be five hundred years, and his age of one hundred is equivalent to a young person's age.

"In the Fang family, there are many people with longer lifespans than him. Lin Zhongba can only be considered young; he doesn't have to be an old ox eating young grass."

Lin Xuan naturally understood that cultivators had long lifespans. For high-level cultivators, a hundred years was no different from a child. However, he had witnessed Lin Zhongba's appearance change from a hundred and nine years to the present age. So, in his heart, he had always thought of Lin Zhongba as an old man.

Now, speaking of it, Lin Xuan glanced at Fang Yan. This guy's age was at least twice that of Lin Zhongba!

"Big brother, do you agree?" Fang Yan noticed Lin Xuan's gaze and asked expectantly.

Lin Xuan glanced at him. "Don't have any particular thoughts about the Lin family. And, stop calling me 'big brother.'"

Fang Yan nodded, "Alright, big brother."

Lin Xuan couldn't be bothered with this overly familiar guy. The three of them watched the Lin family's five members who were currently crossing their tribulation and didn't say anything more.

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. The tribulation in the sky gradually dissipated, and all five members of the Lin family broke through, reaching the Golden Core Realm.

As for the quality of their Golden Cores, they didn't say anything. Outsiders could only guess based on the size of the tribulation clouds. However, with five tribulation clouds mixed together, they could speculate that at least one person had condensed a high-quality Golden Core, and there was more than one place doing so.

Of course, Lin Xuan wasn't one of those kept in the dark. He scanned the situation and saw the conditions of Lin Xiuqi and the others.

Lin Zhongba had achieved a Heavenly Dao Golden Core.

Lin Xunxian possessed a Ninth Rank Golden Core.

Lin Ran had an Eighth Rank Golden Core.

Lin Xiuqi had a Seventh Rank Golden Core.

As for Lin Shanhai, he had a Sixth Rank Golden Core.

Five people, five different ranks. Lin Xuan smiled when he saw this. However, this result was within his expectations.

Lin Zhongba had already touched on the innate Great Dao. Plus, with the accumulated Dao intent in his body from last time, he had already condensed a Heavenly Dao Golden Core. Though it sounded absurd, it was within his expectations.

Lin Xunxian had the support of Dao Heart State, Sword Intent, and the enlightenment of Mortal in his heart. He also had the foundational cultivation of the Crossing Tribulation Realm and two Seventh Rank spiritual roots. So, him condensing a Ninth Rank Golden Core wasn't surprising.

Of course, a Heavenly Dao Golden Core wasn't just about having good aptitude. It likely required external opportunities akin to Dao intent.

As for Lin Ran, she had two Seventh Rank High-Quality spiritual roots, two spiritual bodies, and the Heaven and Earth Sword Scripture. While luck played a part, her aptitude was definitely not an issue.

Lin Xiuqi's Seventh Rank Golden Core was to a great extent due to interference from the power of the divine and demonic power.

Lin Shanhai, with a Sixth Rank Golden Core, needed no explanation.

After the five broke through, they stood together in the sky. They exchanged a glance and respectfully saluted Lin Xuan.

"Grand Ancestor, Thank you for your help!"

…

Luo Shen Dao

Tu Qi and Luo Shenji witnessed everything that happened in Renhuai County. The two of them exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Old Tu, can you help someone break through to the Golden Core and condense a high-quality Golden Core like Lin Xuan?" Luo Shenji said to himself.

Tu Qi rolled his eyes angrily. "Breaking through to the Golden Core realm isn't difficult. Give me enough resources, and I can help a peak Golden Core cultivator refine and absorb a Golden Core. But someone like Lin Xuan, who can do it with just a thought, must have some big secret we don't know about.

"But to condense a high-quality Golden Core, it's more likely that you'd have to ask the temple's powerful figures to do it. They would accept you as a direct disciple and nurture you wholeheartedly. I'm sure they'd have high-quality Golden Cores as well. However, the time and opportunities consumed in this process could be measured in decades. It's impossible for it to be as easy as Lin Xuan makes it look."

Luo Shenji was speechless. That was true. He could only say that Lin Xuan definitely had some big secret they didn't know about.

"Alright, let's not talk about him. He's the Ancestor, and no matter what he does, I won't be surprised," Tu Qi said in annoyance.

"Let's talk about what True Lord Chu Mo before he died. I don't think he just said it on a whim."

Hearing this, Luo Shenji's expression became serious. "Are you saying he's a traitor?"

Tu Qi nodded. "It's very likely. I've already mobilized the power of the Demon Resistance Hall to investigate True Lord Chu Mo and his master, Dao Lord Xi Ti. The results showed that Dao Lord Xi Ti mysteriously disappeared three hundred years ago. In the past three hundred years, apart from True Lord Chu Mo, the other twelve disciples have also vanished."

Luo Shenji's expression turned completely serious.

"Damn, they clearly intend to cause a big disturbance!"

"From now on, I need the power of the Luo family to collaborate with the Demon Resistance Hall. We'll investigate the entire Luo God Dao to find the whereabouts of Dao Lord Xi Ti. Together, we'll scan every inch of Luo God Dao with our divine senses. I refuse to believe that we won't find him."

Tu Qi's expression was firm, and he spoke with utmost seriousness. When he discovered where Dao Lord Xi Ti was and confirmed his ill intentions towards the Luo God Dao and humanity, there was no need to explain what he would do next.

Luo Shenji nodded in agreement. Ultimately, the Luo God Dao was the territory and foundation of the Luo family. If someone wanted to cause trouble here, the Luo family would naturally be the first to disagree. They were even more proactive than the Demon Resistance Hall.

…

In Baoshan Prefecture, due to the heavenly tribulation, it had now become a paradise. The environment was filled with rich spiritual energy, opportunities were everywhere, and occasionally, spiritual veins could be discovered.

All of this had attracted cultivators from various countries and nations in the surrounding areas. In today's Baoshan Prefecture, the number of cultivators had exceeded a million.

In an unknown secret realm spanning thousands of miles, desolate space was filled with a dense black gas. In the center of this space, a middle-aged man in a purple Dao robe stood silently. The aura of a Dao Lord was displayed to the fullest.

The man gazed intently at a ten-thousand-meter-wide spatial crack in front of him. A smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

"It's almost time, three hundred years of planning, finally in the last step."

Suddenly, the middle-aged man seemed to sense something, and his brow furrowed slightly. He looked outside the secret realm, and his expression instantly turned cold.

"Useless trash, you can't even occupy a county. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have let him live."

With that, the middle-aged man scanned the secret realm. Twelve differently shaped Nascent Soul Realm corpses sat in twelve different directions. Clearly, they were here to expand the spatial crack.

The middle-aged man had constructed a large formation, using the blood, souls, and cultivation of the twelve Nascent Soul Realm cultivators as sacrifices.

At this point, the man's identity was obvious. He was the master of the Late Stage Nascent Soul Realm True Lord Chu Mo and a Mid Stage Soul Formation Realm Dao Lord, Dao Lord Xi Ti.

Three hundred years ago, Dao Lord Xi Ti accidentally discovered the spatial crack. At first, he didn't pay much attention. However, a creature on the other side of the crack, calling itself Emperor Lu, suddenly attempted to communicate with him.

He then realized that this spatial crack connected two different continents. Although he had seen many spatial cracks as a Soul Formation Dao Lord, one that spanned the vast starry sea, linking two different continents, was something he had never heard of.

He initially wanted to report this rift and Emperor Lu's message to the Ancestral Temple and then discard it. The moment he reported it, everything would end.

However, the creature in the rift who called himself Emperor Lu told that if he agreed to Emperor Lu's request, completed the mission, and protected the rift from being discovered, he would find a way to expand the rift and would also help Dao Lord Xi Ti establish a contract with the Heavenly Dao of their world. Once their world successfully invaded the human world, the Heavenly Dao consciousness would be fed back from the Heavenly Dao their world.

Once that happen, for Dao Lord Xi Ti, breaking through the Soul Formation Realm and becoming a Unity Realm Divine Lord or even becoming a Void Formation Realm Ancestral Lord was within reach.

In addition, with the protection of the Heavenly Dao contract, Dao Lord Xi Ti didn't have to worry about them turning their backs on him after they successfully invaded.

Dao Lord Xi Ti was instantly tempted.

He had good potential, but his background wasn't good. He had always been working alone in the cultivation world. Breaking through to the middle stage of the Soul Formation realm was already his limit.

Originally, he had already accepted his fate. However, reality gave him another chance. If he reported the news of this rift and Emperor Lu to the Ancestral Hall, the resources he received would at most help him break through to the peak of the Soul Formation realm.

However, that was the end of it.

However, once he agreed to Emperor Lu and completed the mission, he would be able to completely open the path to heaven. He could even dream of becoming a Great Ascension Realm Ancestor.
