3: The divine eye begins to appear, and undercurrents surge.

Dead silence. Above the sacrificial altar plaza, only the sound of wind swept past, along with the heavy and suppressed breathing of the crowd.

With all eyes on him, Lin Fan calmly retracted his fist, as if having just crippled Lin Hong's arms with one punch was merely brushing dust from his sleeve. The restrained yet unfathomable aura around him formed a stark, dazzling contrast with the unconscious and utterly miserable Lin Hong on the ground.

"Hong'er!" Great Elder Lin deep let out a mournful roar, his figure flashing to Lin Hong's side. After checking his injuries, his face instantly turned ashen, and the gaze he directed at Lin Fan was filled with incredulous malice and a hint of fear he himself hadn't noticed.

Both arm bones were shattered, and Meridians severed. Even with the Lin Family's capabilities, fully repairing them would require countless Heaven And Earth Treasure, and would inevitably leave hidden dangers, effectively ruining most of his future!

When did this Lin Fan possess such terrifying strength? Moreover, it was pure, extreme Physical Body power! What kind of Physique was that?!

"Lin Fan! During a spar between clansmen, you actually resorted to such a vicious attack?!" Lin deep suddenly looked up, his voice hoarse like a wounded beast. His formidable Divine Power Realm pressure once again condensed, pressing down on Lin Fan like a tangible force, attempting to regain his lost prestige.

"Vicious attack?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow slightly. Facing the pressure that could make an ordinary Spiritual Sea Realm Cultivator collapse, he remained unmoving, his gaze cold. "Did his Blazing Lion Fist just now show any mercy? If I were still my old self, I would be dead or crippled right now. Great Elder, would you have stepped forward then to say, 'A spar between clansmen, show mercy'?"

His words were forceful, his rhetorical questions like sharp swords, piercing directly into Lin deep's heart.

Lin deep's aura stagnated, his face flushed, but he had no words to retort. Just now, his grandson had indeed intended to cripple or even kill, and everyone present had seen it clearly.

"Enough!" Clan Leader Lin Zhan Tian's deep shout, like rolling thunder, instantly dispersed Lin deep's condensed pressure. He stepped forward, standing in front of Lin Fan, his towering figure like an insurmountable mountain. His authoritative gaze swept across the entire plaza, finally settling on Lin deep.

"The victor has been decided, no need for further words! Lin Fan relied on his own strength, what 'evil methods' are you speaking of? Lin Hong was inferior in skill and suffered heavy injuries, which he brought upon himself! Great Elder, are you intending to disregard your status and attack a junior?" Lin Zhan Tian's voice was low, yet carried an undeniable finality. "This matter ends here! Fan'er's position as Divine Son is rightful and proper. Should anyone dare to dispute it again, they will be dealt with according to clan rules!"

His gaze, sharp as a torch, swept over the Elders and clansmen who had previously supported Lin deep. At this moment, upon meeting his eyes, these individuals lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze. Lin Fan's terrifying strength and the mysterious 'ancestral blessing' he displayed had completely shaken their stance.

Lin deep's chest heaved violently, his fists clenched tightly, nails almost digging into his flesh. He knew that the tide had turned today, and further entanglement would only bring humiliation. He glared venomously at Lin Fan and Clan Leader Lin Zhan Tian, then, without a word, he picked up the unconscious Lin Hong, his figure transforming into a streak of light, and left the sacrificial altar plaza directly. Those from his lineage also retreated dispiritedly like a receding tide.

The ancestral worship ceremony thus ended hastily in this strange and shocking atmosphere.

But everyone understood that Lin Fan's return was like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, and it would stir up tumultuous waves within the Lin Family.

Back in the Divine Son Hall belonging to the Clan Chief, all attendants were dismissed, leaving only Lin Fan and Clan Leader Lin Zhan Tian, father and son, inside.

"Fan'er, you..." Lin Zhan Tian looked at his son, whose temperament was now strikingly different, his eyes firm and steady. A thousand words were in his heart, but for a moment, he didn't know where to begin. Everything that happened today was too incredible.

"Father," Lin Fan smiled slightly. He didn't intend to completely conceal things from this father who genuinely cared for him. "Your son indeed received a great Opportunity on the sacrificial altar. It seems the sleeping ancestral Battle Intent resonated with my Bloodline, reconstructing my Foundation and Awakening a special Physique."

He explained, half-truthfully. The matter of the System was too astonishing, and the name of the Eternal Indestructible Body was too frightening. It was safer to attribute it to the mysterious ancestors.

"Special Physique!" Lin Zhan Tian's tiger eyes lit up, and he excitedly patted Lin Fan's shoulder. "Good! Excellent! My son is indeed no ordinary being! To be able to withstand a full-strength blow from a Spiritual Sea Realm Middle Stage Cultivator unscathed, and even defeat an enemy with one punch, such a Physique is at least Saint Body level! It might even be a legendary Divine Body!"

He paced back and forth excitedly: "With this, who in the clan would dare to gossip! Fan'er, what Realm has your cultivation reached now?"

"Just entered the Spiritual Sea Realm," Lin Fan replied. The Eternal Indestructible Body primarily brought him a leap in the essence of his Physical Body; the improvement in cultivation was a secondary effect, but his Foundation was vastly more profound than countless others at the same stage.

"Spiritual Sea Realm Early Stage?" Lin Zhan Tian was slightly startled, then enlightened. "That's right, Physique Awakening, feeding back into cultivation, directly condensing a Spiritual Sea across the Mortal Transformation Realm, is perfectly normal. With the combat power you just displayed, you are probably unrivaled within the Spiritual Sea Realm! You might even be able to contend with those who have just entered the Divine Power Realm!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became: "This is excellent! I will immediately gather resources for you. Whatever you need, just ask! Cultivation Technique, Medicinal Pill, divine weapons, the Family treasury is fully open to you!"

"Thank you, Father." Lin Fan felt a warmth in his heart, but he knew that with the System, ordinary resources held little meaning for him. What he needed more were those special 'check-in locations'.

Just then, a thought stirred in his mind, and he remembered the System. He had checked in at the sacrificial altar today and obtained the Eternal Indestructible Body. He wondered if he could also check in at this Divine Son Hall?

"System, check in at the Divine Son Hall."

[Ding! Detected check-in location - Lin Family Divine Son Hall (contains faint God Race Luck and residual imprints of past Divine Sons), meets check-in conditions. Check-in successful!]

[Congratulations to the Host for acquiring: Delusion-Breaking Divine Pupils (Origin Divine Ability)!]

A cool current instantly surged into Lin Fan's eyes. He felt as if his eyes were immersed in a divine spring. His vision blurred slightly at first, then became incredibly clear and transparent. The subtle flow of Spiritual Qi in the air within the hall, the hidden patterns of the Formation on the walls, and even the vast, ocean-like spiritual energy circulation within his father Lin Zhan Tian's body, all faintly presented a unique 'network' in his eyes.

He subconsciously looked at an ancient Spiritual Plant outside the hall, his gaze penetrating the bark, 'seeing' the vibrant woody Meridians and the flowing green spiritual light within. He could even vaguely detect a faint, nascent wood spirit consciousness at the core of the Spiritual Plant.

This was the Delusion-Breaking Divine Pupils! To see through illusions and perceive the essence!

"Fan'er, your eyes..." Lin Zhan Tian keenly noticed a fleeting golden gleam in Lin Fan's eyes, and that suddenly profound aura, as if he could see through everything, causing him to be shocked once more.

"It seems to be a pupil technique associated with my Physique, just awakened," Lin Fan explained, gaining a deeper understanding of the System's power.

"Double happiness! Truly double happiness!" Lin Zhan Tian clapped his hands and laughed heartily, greatly comforted.

However, through his newly formed Delusion-Breaking Divine Pupils, Lin Fan keenly caught a trace of deep solemnity and worry hidden beneath his father's smile.

"Father, the Grand Elder's lineage will likely not let this rest," Lin Fan said gravely.

Lin Zhan Tian's smile faded, and he nodded, his expression solemn: "Indeed. Lin deep is narrow-minded and vengeful. Today, you made him lose face completely and severely injured Lin Hong; he will definitely not stop there. He wouldn't dare to act openly, but there will certainly be no shortage of covert methods."

He pondered for a moment, then said: "Soon, it will be the ten-year Trial Grounds period for the Family's Meteor Star Ancient Domain. According to the rules, all eligible young disciples must participate. Opportunities and dangers coexist there. Lin deep is very likely to make a move against you within it."

"Meteor Star Ancient Domain?" Lin Fan's eyes flashed. It sounded like a good check-in location.

"That's right. It's a fragment of an ancient extraterrestrial battlefield, confined by our ancestors with great Divine Ability, serving as the Family's Trial Grounds. It not only contains various rare ore veins and Spiritual Plant, but also remnants of the Concept of ancient powerhouses' battles and shattered Legacy. However, it is also filled with spatial rifts, ferocious ancient beasts, and some lingering resentful souls," Lin Zhan Tian warned solemnly. "Although your strength has greatly increased, you must not be careless. Lin deep has been operating in the Ancient Domain for many years and will surely have arrangements."

Lin Fan nodded, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a hint of Battle Intent: "Father, rest assured, your son knows his limits. I will definitely venture into this Meteor Star Ancient Domain."

This would be a good Opportunity to see the limits of the Eternal Indestructible Body and also to clear out some annoying insects.

Looking at his son's confident and resolute eyes, Lin Zhan Tian's heart was a mix of relief and worry, finally turning into a long sigh: "Good! A young eagle must eventually soar into the sky. Your father will prepare everything for you. Remember, returning alive is more important than anything!"

The father and son discussed for a while longer, then Lin Zhan Tian left in a hurry. On one hand, he needed to prepare trial supplies for Lin Fan; on the other, he had to seize this Opportunity to further consolidate the Clan Chief's faction's power.

After seeing his father off, Lin Fan stood alone by the window of the Divine Son Hall, gazing at the distant immortal mountains and pavilions shrouded in mist.

The Delusion-Breaking Divine Pupils operated silently; he seemed to see the undercurrents surging beneath the calm surface.

"Meteor Star Ancient Domain," he murmured, a cold arc forming at the corner of his mouth. "I hope the methods you've prepared won't disappoint me too much."

Meanwhile, deep within the Grand Elder's mansion, in a secret chamber.

Lin deep looked at Lin Hong, who lay on a cold jade bed, pale and unconscious, his face terribly grim. Standing before him were several trusted Elders.

"Investigate! Thoroughly investigate for me! What exactly happened on the sacrificial altar?! What Opportunity did that little beast get?!" Lin deep's voice was like the ice of the Nine Nether.

"Grand Elder, the Clan Chief has sealed off the news, it's difficult for our people to access the core."

"Then approach it from other angles!" Lin deep slammed the table, and the sandalwood table instantly turned to dust. "The Meteor Star Ancient Domain is our last chance! Inform our people inside; spare no effort, I want Lin Fan dead without a complete corpse!"

"Yes!" The trusted Elders bowed in response, a fierce glint flashing in their eyes. The undercurrent had already transformed into murderous intent, quietly pointing towards the newly risen young Divine Son.
