63: The name of the Lin clan!

A canopy of pure golden Luck shimmered like a tangible substance, enveloping the entire main residence of the Lin Clan. Its radiance nourished all things.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was so dense it almost turned into liquid. With each breath, one could feel their cultivation advancing.

The disciples of the Lin Clan were still immersed in the ecstasy of their Breakthroughs and the shock of being recognized by Heaven and Earth.

At the Peak of the Sacrificial Altar, Lin Dao felt the vast, starry sea-like power of the Samsara Realm within him, a force that governed life and death. Yet, his mind grew increasingly calm.

His gaze swept over the scene below, taking in the excitement of his clansmen, the reverence of the guests, and the increasingly hidden prying eyes in the shadows.

He knew that the ascension to a Heaven-Grade Lin Clan was just a new beginning, not the end.

Every step from now on would affect the Lin Clan's eternal Foundation.

Only by continuously strengthening the Family could he quickly become stronger!

The System was his greatest reliance!

He spoke slowly, his voice no longer high-pitched but carrying the authority of the Samsara Realm, where words become Law. His voice reached every disciple and guest clearly:

'The Heaven-Grade Lin Clan is established, marking the beginning of our new journey. Our Family's prosperity lies in our talented individuals, our Laws, and our Legacy.'

'Effective immediately, the Lin Clan will establish the 'Grand Elder Council,' overseen by me, to decide on major internal affairs and safeguard our Family's Foundation and Luck.'

'We will also establish the 'Saint Hall.' Lin Hao, Ye Chen, Lin Yun, Phoenix Spirit, and Lin Feng will be the five Saints of the Lin Clan. They will enjoy the highest allocation of resources, represent the future of the Lin Clan, and are expected to Cultivate diligently and not disappoint our Family's hopes!'

Upon hearing this, the five individuals straightened their expressions and bowed in unison: 'We respectfully obey the Old Ancestor's decree!' The five radiated various auras—Sword Intent, vitality, stars, Phoenix, and Dao resonance—creating a dazzling display that drew countless gasps.

Five Saints, each with unparalleled potential; the future of the Lin Clan was evident!

'Additionally, we will grant higher access to the 'Hall of Myriad Laws,' refine the 'Contribution Points System,' and establish the 'Dao Enlightenment Secret Realm'... Specific details will be announced later by the Internal Affairs Hall and the Legacy Hall.'

One by one, commands flowed from Lin Dao's mouth, swiftly constructing a vast and rigorous framework for a top-tier power, astonishing all witnesses. The Lin Clan was clearly not just a name; its internal structure rivaled ancient Heaven-Grade Families.

After handling internal affairs, Lin Dao turned his gaze to the many guests below, particularly those with the most hidden presences.

'Today, I thank all Fellow Daoists for attending.' Lin Dao's tone was calm yet firm. 'The Lin Clan has just been established and wishes to coexist peacefully with the fellow cultivators of the Nine Provinces, exploring the Great Dao together. But—'

His tone shifted, his eyes suddenly sharp as a blade. Though he did not fully release his Samsara Realm pressure, everyone felt a tightness in their hearts.

'If anyone harbors ill intentions and offends my Lin Clan, regardless of their Origins or background, they will face the same fate as this platform!'

Before he finished speaking, Lin Dao pointed like a sword at a distant, uninhabited mountain and lightly swept his hand.

There was no sound, no light.

But in everyone's perception, that towering mountain and the space it occupied were erased from existence by an unseen giant hand!

Only a smooth, bottomless void remained.

'Speech becomes Law, drawing a line turns space into void!'

This was the terrifying power of a Samsara Realm master!

Countless guests gasped, their scalps tingling. Those who had harbored small thoughts now completely abandoned them.

This Old Ancestor Lin was unfathomably powerful and ruthlessly decisive, not to be trifled with!

'We are in awe of Old Ancestor Lin's Divine Might!'

'Congratulations to the Lin Clan on their ascension. We wish to befriend the Lin Clan forever!'

Below the platform, a chorus of sincere congratulations and pledges rang out, far more genuine than before.

Lin Dao nodded slightly and said no more. A single demonstration of power was enough.

Thus, the grand ceremony concluded successfully.

The guests departed with complex emotions, knowing that news of today's events would quickly spread through the highest circles of the Nine Provinces.

The name of the Lin Clan, the might of Old Ancestor Lin, and the potential of the five Saints would be the focus of discussion and study for a long time.

As the guests left, the Lin Clan began a flurry of internal consolidation and construction.

Lin Dao returned to the ancestral hall's Quiet Room and focused his thoughts.

'System, where are the two Dao Protectors?'

'Host, the Dao Protectors have bound themselves to the Lin Clan's Luck and are hidden in the Void Realm, awaiting orders.'

Lin Dao sensed two extremely concealed yet immensely powerful presences within the range of the Lin Clan's Luck, like slumbering ancient divine mountains silently guarding the Family.

With these two Peak Samsara Realm Dao Protectors, the Lin Clan's Foundation was as stable as Mount Tai. Unless faced with an equally or more powerful threat, the Lin Clan was invincible.

He then looked at the two glowing orbs in the System space, radiating the Origin Qi of the Lunar Divine Body and the Solar Divine Body.

'Lunar and Solar... embody the extremes of Yin and Yang. If suitable successors can be found, along with Hao's Sword, Chen's Might, Yun's Gaze, Spirit's Phoenix, and Feng's Dao, our Lin Clan's Luck will be even more perfect, our Foundation even more unfathomable.'

He did not rush to bestow them; such divine artifacts required destined individuals. Forcing the matter would not yield good results.

Afterward, he summoned Lin Feng.

The youth Lin Feng entered the Quiet Room, his body radiating a subtle Dao resonance, his eyes clear and profound. He bowed respectfully, 'Lin Feng greets the Old Ancestor.'

Lin Dao looked at him as if gazing at an uncarved block of Chaotic jade.

'Innate Dao Body, harmonious with the Dao. Your previous inability to Cultivate was not due to incapability but because your Physique had not Awakened. You needed your own Dao resonance to trigger the Heaven and Earth opportunity. Now that the shackles are gone, the sky is the limit.'

'All thanks to the Old Ancestor and the Family's Luck.' Lin Feng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

'Now that you have Awakened, you must choose your path. Our Lin Clan's Hall of Myriad Laws contains numerous classics. You may browse them freely to find the Dao most suited to you. If you have questions, you can ask me or discuss them with your Senior Brothers and Sisters.'

'Yes, Old Ancestor.' A glint of anticipation flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

After arranging for Lin Feng, Lin Dao also guided the other four Saints, helping them stabilize their Realms and pointing them toward their next cultivation goals.

With everything in order, Lin Dao looked into the distance once more.

'Samsara Realm... is considered the Peak in this world. But since the System has emerged and the Family's feedback continues, Saint-Grade and Emperor-Grade are not mere illusions. There is also the shadow behind the Calamity Demon Kingdom and the even vaster world beyond the Nine Provinces...'

He felt that with the Lin Clan's ascension and the surge in Luck, the System's feedback efficiency had increased. Though not as dramatic as breaking through major Realms, every bit helped. Along with his own insights, his cultivation continued to advance steadily.

'Next, we must consolidate the Lin Clan's Foundation and nurture the younger generation. At the same time, we should actively explore some more ancient secrets to find the next direction for the Lin Clan and for myself.'

Lin Dao slowly closed his eyes, connecting his spirit with the golden Luck of the entire Lin Clan, resonating with the hidden presence of the Dao Protectors and the Laws of Samsara of this world.
