200: Chapter 200 The Lin Family Sacred Scripture, Blood Boiling

Three days later.

Luoxia Sect, Lin Family Ancestral Hall.

This ancient building, located deep within the Sect and protected by layers of Restrictions, was usually seldom visited.

But today, all the core members of the Lin Family had gathered outside the Ancestral Hall.

Lin Cang, Lin Hu, Lin De, Lin Shi, Lin Laosan, Lin Yan... even including Lin Mo and Lin Qing, who had just ended their seclusion, as well as twelve outstanding young disciples from the "Spark Plan".

A total of thirty-seven people.

All at the Golden Core Stage.

If news of this lineup spread, it would be enough to shake the entire Southern Region—after all, some medium-sized Sects only had twenty or thirty Golden Core Cultivators in their entire Sect.

Yet the Lin Family, just one Family, had thirty-seven Golden Cores!

"Is everyone here?"

Lin Yue walked over from the distance, dressed in a blue robe, his expression calm.

"Everyone is here."

Lin Cang bowed in response, his eyes filled with unconcealable excitement.

Lin Yue nodded, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

Lin Mo stood in the front row, his aura much steadier—having experienced the bloody battle at the Burial Dragon Abyss and undergone arduous cultivation in the Time Secret Realm of the grotto-heaven, this leading figure of the Lin Family's younger generation had already touched the threshold of the Law of Time.

Lin Qing stood beside him, her severed arm already reborn—Lin Yue had expended three drops of "Life Source Liquid" to reshape her limb. Now, not only had her strength fully recovered, but she had also turned misfortune into fortune, her cultivation breaking through to the Late Golden Core Stage, just one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage.

The other disciples were also in peak condition, their eyes gleaming with restrained brilliance, clearly not having been idle these past half month.

"Let's go in."

Lin Yue pushed open the heavy wooden door of the Ancestral Hall.

Creak—

The door opened.

An ancient, vast aura rushed towards them.

The interior of the Ancestral Hall was not large. In the center was a long altar table, on which dozens of spirit tablets were neatly arranged.

At the very top was the ancestral tablet of the Lin Family.

It was a tablet entirely black, made of an unknown material, with no writing on it, only a faint star pattern.

And at this moment, this nameless tablet was emitting a faint silver light.

The light brightened and dimmed like breathing, each pulse causing the entire space of the Ancestral Hall to tremble slightly.

"It started acting up three days ago."

Lin Cang reported in a low voice: "At first, it only occasionally glowed. Starting yesterday, the light grew increasingly intense, and the spatial fluctuations grew stronger."

"I tried sensing it with the first three layers of the 'Star Sacred Canon' Cultivation Technique and discovered that something inside the tablet seemed to be... Awakening."

Awakening.

Lin Yue walked to the altar table and placed his hand on the tablet.

Hum—

The star pattern on the tablet suddenly lit up!

Silver light blazed forth, instantly illuminating the entire Ancestral Hall as bright as day.

At the same time, the Star Origin within Lin Yue's body spontaneously circulated, producing a strong resonance with the tablet.

Crack.

A light sound.

A crack appeared on the surface of the nameless tablet.

The crack rapidly spread, crawling across the entire tablet like a spiderweb.

Then—

Bang!

The tablet completely shattered.

A simple, ancient Jade Slip floated up from the fragments.

The Jade Slip was pale green, with star patterns flowing on its surface. These patterns were not lifeless but slowly moved like living things, forming profound scriptures.

"This is..."

Lin Cang's pupils constricted sharply.

Lin Yue raised his hand, and the Jade Slip automatically flew into his palm.

He probed it with his Divine Sense.

Boom—

A massive amount of information flooded into his mind.

The Soul Transformation Chapter, Void Refining Chapter, and Body Integration Chapter of the 'Star Sacred Canon'.

Three complete legacies, each containing Cultivation Techniques, secret arts, divine abilities, as well as supporting auxiliary legacies such as Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Formations, and Talismans.

But this was not all.

Deep within the Jade Slip, a blood-red forbidden technique was sealed.

"Star Clan Bloodline Legacy Forbidden Technique—Ancestral Projection."

Lin Yue softly read the name of the forbidden technique.

At the cost of burning one's Bloodline, briefly summon projections of the Star Clan's ancestors throughout the ages to aid in battle.

The strength of the projection is related to the summoner's Bloodline purity and the degree of burning, and can reach up to three times the summoner's own cultivation level!

But the cost is also extremely severe—Bloodline purity temporarily decreases, requiring at least a hundred years to recover.

Moreover, if used excessively, it could lead to the Bloodline becoming permanently diluted, never able to awaken again.

"Not to be used unless facing a crisis of clan extinction."

Lin Yue sealed this forbidden technique separately, then looked at the crowd.

"The subsequent Legacy of the 'Star Sacred Canon' has been found."

He raised his hand, and the Jade Slip transformed into thirty-seven streams of light, flying into the forehead of each person.

"The Soul Transformation Chapter, I will transmit it to you now."

"The Void Refining Chapter and Body Integration Chapter are temporarily sealed. They will automatically unlock when you reach the corresponding Realms."

"As for that forbidden technique..."

Lin Yue's tone was serious: "I have already set up a Seal. Unless the Lin Family faces a crisis of extinction, no one will be able to use it."

Everyone closed their eyes to digest the Legacy information, expressions of shock appearing on their faces.

The Soul Transformation Chapter!

That was a complete Cultivation Technique capable of reaching the Soul Transformation Stage!

Looking across the entire Southern Region, even the Central Region, Soul Transformation Stage techniques were the top-tier legacies, impossible for ordinary Sects to possess.

And now, their Lin Family, each person had one!

"Sect Master..."

Lin Hu's voice trembled slightly: "This Legacy... is too precious."

"Precious?"

Lin Yue shook his head: "This is what you deserve."

"In the battle at the Burial Dragon Abyss, the Lin Family lost three members in battle, with seven severely injured. Each of you exchanged your lives for today's peace."

"This Legacy is your reward."

He paused, looking at Lin Mo, Lin Qing, and the other younger generation members: "But the Legacy is just the beginning."

"In the next three months, I will open a special Secret Realm."

Lin Yue corrected himself in time, avoiding the secret of the grotto-heaven: "The flow of time there is different from the outside world. One day outside equals ten days inside the Secret Realm."

"I want you to Cultivate arduously in the Secret Realm. Within three months, everyone must break through by one minor stage."

"Lin Mo, Lin Qing, your goal is to touch the threshold of the Nascent Soul Stage."

"The rest of you must at least reach the Middle Golden Core Stage."

"Can you do it?"

"Yes!"

The thirty-seven people responded in unison, their voices shaking the Ancestral Hall.

Lin Yue nodded in satisfaction.

"Go."

"In three days, the Secret Realm will open."

Everyone excitedly left the Ancestral Hall.

Only Lin Cang remained.

"Sect Master, that Secret Realm... won't it be exposed..."

"It won't."

Lin Yue knew what he was worried about: "I have my own arrangements."

He indeed had arrangements.

The time flow regulation ability of the Small World could now be put to use.

Carve out an independent area, set the time flow to ten times, then lay down layers of Restrictions, disguising it as an "ancient Time Secret Realm".

This way, the Lin Family disciples could accelerate their cultivation without exposing the existence of the Small World.

Perfect.

"By the way."

Lin Yue remembered something: "Lin Qing and the other twelve, continue staying in the Spark Secret Realm for now, do not return yet."

"Tell them to focus on cultivation. I need them to grow up as quickly as possible."

"Understood."

Lin Cang acknowledged, then reported some Sect affairs before leaving.

In the Ancestral Hall, only Lin Yue remained.

He looked down at the Jade Slip fragments in his hand.

Those fragments had now lost their luster, turning into ordinary black stones.

But Lin Yue could sense that deep within the fragments, there remained a faint trace of conscious fluctuation.

"Come out."

He said softly.

The fragments trembled slightly.

A nearly transparent, faint shadow drifted out from the fragments.

It was an old man wearing ancient star-embroidered robes, his face blurred, but his eyes were as deep as stars.

"Lin Family... descendant..."

The shadow's voice was intermittent, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"Are you the founding ancestor of the Lin Family?"

Lin Yue asked.

"No... I am... the Tablet Guardian Spirit..."

The shadow responded with difficulty: "Guardian of the Legacy... waiting... for the revival of the Sacred Clan..."

"The Sacred Clan... the Lin Clan... is the direct lineage of the ancient Star Clan..."

"Bloodline Awakening... Sacred Canon reappearing... a Great Calamity approaches..."

Great Calamity?

Lin Yue frowned: "What Great Calamity?"

"The Spirit Devourers... are just the beginning..."

The shadow grew fainter: "In the depths of the Starry Sky... more terrifying existences... are Awakening..."

"The Sacred Clan... must... rise..."

"Otherwise... this world... will become..."

Before he could finish.

The shadow completely dissipated.

Only the last trace of intent transmitted into Lin Yue's mind.

It was an image.

In the endless Starry Sky, a terrifying rift spanning several Star Domains was slowly opening.

Deep within the rift, countless twisted, indescribable existences were trying to squeeze into this world.

And at the very center of the rift, floated a... star burning with black flames.

The image abruptly stopped.

Lin Yue stood in place, silent for a long time.

Starry Sky rift.

Black flame star.

Was this the Great Calamity the Tablet Guardian Spirit spoke of?

Existences more terrifying than the Spirit Devouring Clan?

He looked up, gazing at the sky outside the Ancestral Hall.

The sun was bright, the clouds were light, the wind gentle.

But Lin Yue knew that beneath this calm, undercurrents were surging, and dangers lurked everywhere.

"Whatever the Great Calamity..."

He murmured to himself, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"We'll meet soldiers with arms, water with earth."

"What I need to do now is to make the Lin Family, make the Luoxia Sect, grow strong as quickly as possible."

Putting away his thoughts, Lin Yue walked out of the Ancestral Hall.

For the next three days, he was so busy he barely touched the ground.

First, he carved out an area in the Small World, set the time flow to ten times, laid down disguising Restrictions, creating an "ancient Time Secret Realm".

Then he personally went to the Falling Star Valley, reaching a new agreement with the Star Miasma Dragon Lizard—exchanging a hundred jin of star crystals for the Dragon Lizard Clan's help in mining the Gengjin Mineral Vein.

Next, he met with the person in charge of the Southern Region branch of the Seven Stars Pavilion, finalizing the supply contract for the first batch of Star Pattern Equipment.

Finally, he even found time to guide Little Star's Five Elements Rotation Grand Array layout plan.

Three days later.

The "Time Secret Realm" officially opened.

The thirty-seven core disciples of the Lin Family entered the Secret Realm in batches.

Lin Yue stood at the Secret Realm entrance, watching everyone disappear into the light gate, his eyes full of anticipation.

Three months.

Three months in the outside world, thirty months in the Secret Realm—two and a half years.

Enough for them to be completely transformed.

"Sect Master."

Star Radiance had arrived behind him at some point.

"There's new movement at the Ancient Demon Clan Ruins."

"Speak."

"That group... cracked the first layer of the core Restriction."

Star Radiance's tone was grave: "I sensed with the Star Gazing Technique that there is extremely strong wood-element Spiritual Qi fluctuation inside the Restriction, likely the core of the Green Wood Earth Vein."

"And... they seem to be setting up some kind of sacrificial Formation."

Sacrifice?

Lin Yue's eyes turned cold.

"Continue monitoring."

"In three days, once Little Star's Five Elements Rotation Grand Array plan is perfected, we will set out."

"I want to see..."

He looked towards the direction of the Ancient Demon Clan Ruins, a sly smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"What these rats are trying to sacrifice."
