143: Each person makes their own arrangements
Forbidden Ground, at the edge of the Chaos Qi flow.
Lin Dao summoned Lin Qingyi, Lin Zhan, Lin Yao, Lin Sha, Lin Ziyan, and Lin Yan.
These six people were the most dazzling performers and the core individuals with the greatest potential in this Grand Competition.
The six stood respectfully below. Even the most unruly Lin Sha restrained all his aura, his eyes filled with reverence and a hint of excitement for Lin Dao.
The Lin Family's ability to develop so quickly in such a short time was entirely due to the efforts of this Old Ancestor who looked incredibly young!
Lin Dao's gaze swept over the six. His voice was calm but held undeniable power: "The six of you have proven your potential and should become the pillars of the Family.
However, the path of cultivation is like sailing against the current. Although internal resources can assist you, true powerhouses must strive amidst the vast Mortal World and comprehend the Dao at the edge of life and death."
The six men looked solemn, knowing the Old Ancestor must have an arrangement for them.
"Lin Zhan."
"Disciple is here!" Lin Zhan stepped forward, his vital energy surging involuntarily.
"Your Azure Dragon Sacred Body is sufficiently powerful and fierce. However, the 'Dragon' can be large or small, it can ascend or conceal itself; when large, it generates clouds and rain, when small, it hides its form; when ascending, it flies through the Universe, and when concealed, it lurks beneath the waves.
In the Northern Darkness, there is the 'Dragon Transformation Pool,' the place where ancient True Dragons shed their mortal forms and became Saints. Although it is now ruined, the residual Dragon Origin Dao Rhyme should be beneficial to you. The journey is long and the dangers are unpredictable. Do you dare to go?"
Dazzling light burst forth in Lin Zhan's eyes, and he did not hesitate: "Disciple is willing to go! I will certainly live up to the Old Ancestor's expectations!"
"Lin Yao."
"Disciple is here." Lin Yao bowed.
"Your Myriad Medicine Body has infinite wondrous uses, but you rely too much on external objects and your Domain. Medicine can kill people, and it can save people.
The key lies in 'control' and 'Origin'.
Deep within the 'Myriad Poison Swamp' of the Southern Border, a collateral descendant of the 'Chaos Green Lotus'—the 'World Purifying White Lotus'—is growing. The Origin of purification and vitality it contains may help you comprehend the deeper mysteries of the Dao of Medicine, but that place is infested with poisons, the environment is harsh, and a slight mistake could lead to eternal damnation."
Lin Yao's eyes flickered. After a brief deduction, he said firmly: "Disciple understands. I shall find the White Lotus and comprehend my own Dao."
"Lin Sha."
Lin Sha looked up, his eyes sharp as sabers.
"Your Dao of the Saber follows the path of Annihilation, decisive in killing. However, what is too rigid breaks easily. After Annihilation, there must be a sliver of vitality.
The 'Burial Saber Valley' in the Western Desert gathers the lingering resentments and Annihilation Saber Intent of countless Saber Cultivators throughout history. It is rumored that deeper within, there is the 'Annihilation Demon Scripture' and a sliver of 'Nirvana Saber Soul' left by an ancient Saber Demon.
Whether you can find vitality within extreme Annihilation, break through, and establish yourself anew, depends on your Opportunity."
Lin Sha gripped the Black Saber in his hand, the blade humming softly: "Seeking life through Annihilation—that suits me perfectly!"
"Lin Ziyan."
"Old Ancestor!" Purple Flames flickered slightly around Lin Ziyan.
"Your Purple Flames are no ordinary fire; they are a mutation of the 'Violet Extreme Heavenly Fire,' possessing immense potential. However, you have not fully mastered its two characteristics: 'Burning to Ash' and 'Creation.'
Beyond the Eastern Sea, there is a place where the phenomenon of 'Burning the Heavens and Boiling the Seas' frequently occurs. It is suspected that an Archaic Fire Phoenix perished there, and its Origin Fire Seed may not have completely extinguished.
If you can obtain a trace of its Origin, it should help you completely master this fire."
Flames burned in Lin Ziyan's beautiful eyes: "Disciple will definitely retrieve the Fire Seed!"
"Lin Yan."
Lin Yan's voice was like a great bell: "Please give your instructions, Old Ancestor!"
"You focus on Body Cultivation. Your Physical Body is formidable, but you lack corresponding Divine Abilities, and your Physical Body still has flaws.
Deep within the Earth Veins, there is a place where the 'Mother Earth Qi' and the 'Star Core Source' flow, which can temper your Physical Body and repair your defects.
Furthermore, the ruins of the ancient Body Cultivation Sect, the 'Earth Shaking Sect,' are also nearby. You might find a Legacy suitable for you there.
The gravity here is abnormal, and the environment is severe, which is perfect for refining yourself."
Lin Yan clasped his fists heavily: "Disciple will surely return with the strongest Physical Body!"
Finally, Lin Dao's gaze fell upon Lin Qingyi.
"Qingyi."
"Old Ancestor." Lin Qingyi performed a graceful bow.
"Your Flying Immortal Body already possesses the initial appearance of transcendence, and your Foundation is stable.
However, the Dao of the Flying Immortal is ethereal and hard to find.
The 'Ascension Road' in Central State is about to open. This is a Secret Realm left over from antiquity, rumored to be connected to the Immortal Realm. It contains countless Opportunities and trials, as well as great danger.
Prodigies from ten thousand races will all go, both for tempering and for competition. Are you willing to go?"
Lin Qingyi's eyes were clear and resolute: "Disciple is willing to go to the Ascension Road and meet the Heroes of the Heavens."
Lin Dao nodded, flicked his finger, and six streams of Chaos Light sank into the center of the six people's brows.
"This is a trace of my Chaos Origin Imprint. It can protect your Divine Souls in critical moments and guide your direction.
Remember, although Opportunity is important, life is more important. The Lin Family is your strongest backing."
"Thank you, Old Ancestor!" Feeling the vast power and concern contained within the imprint, a warm current surged in their hearts, and they bowed in unison.
Afterward, the six did not linger. They each collected the resources prepared by the Family and left... Outside of Azure State, the situation began to stir again.
Lin Zhan traveled north alone, traversing several Great Domains. He encountered many dangers, but relying on his Azure Dragon Sacred Body and powerful combat strength, he repeatedly defeated formidable enemies. His name, "Azure Dragon Saint," began to spread in the Northern Lands.
Lin Yao ventured deep into the Southern Border's Poison Marsh, battling wits and courage against thousands of poisonous creatures. He used his Myriad Medicine Body to neutralize exotic poisons and collect rare Spirit Medicine. His understanding of the Dao of Medicine deepened daily, and he even began attempting to refine ancient Miraculous Pills.
Lin Sha entered the Burial Saber Valley in the Western Desert. Saber Qi crisscrossed the valley, and lingering resentments ran rampant. He fought the Annihilation Saber Intent daily, making his saber technique purer and more ruthless. The aura of death around him was dense and substantial, yet deep within, a faint trace of vitality was quietly brewing.
Lin Ziyan sailed across the vast ocean, chasing the phenomenon of Burning the Heavens and Boiling the Seas. She fought Vicious Beasts and Flame Essence Spirits in the sea. Her Violet Extreme Heavenly Fire became increasingly proficient, and the color of her flames gradually shifted toward deep purple.
Lin Yan ventured deep into the Earth Veins, enduring terrifying pressure and tempering by Earth Fire. His Physical Body constantly fractured and reformed, becoming increasingly resilient, like Divine Metal forged a thousand times.
Lin Qingyi was the most eye-catching.
She gracefully traveled to Central State. On the day the Ascension Road opened, Prodigies from ten thousand races gathered. Using her Flying Immortal Body, she successively defeated several Successors of Immortal Great Sects. Her demeanor and strength quickly made her famous throughout Central State, earning her the title of another Peerless Fairy of the Lin Family. Some even compared her to Lin Hao and Ye Chen.
The Lin Family's new generation of top Prodigies, like hidden Dragons emerging from the abyss, began to stir up waves across the vast Primal Ancient Realm.
Meanwhile, deep within the Lin Familys Small World, in that ordinary courtyard.
Lin Huan, who was only three years old, had grown into a child as delicate as carved jade.
He did not play and frolic like other children; most of his time was spent quietly meditating.
His cultivation had quietly advanced from the first level of the Samsara Realm to the third level of the Samsara Realm!
This speed was simply astonishing!
The Chaos-like potential within him was still vague, but the occasional trace of Qi that leaked out made Han Xin and Li Yuanba, who were guarding in the dark, look sideways.
Lin Dao held the central position, consolidating his Quasi-Emperor Realm, deducing the Great Dao of Chaos, and simultaneously observing the Family Disciples and the situation outside.
