Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan

Of course, this doesn't mean that Lin Xunxian is weaker than Lin Zhongba. His comprehension of the Sword Intent was just at the beginner level, and the practice of the Purple Heaven Sword Scripture was the same. Even the Supreme Technique he relied on during his mortal days, the "Nine Strikes of Annihilation," remained unused.

According to Lin Xunxian, it's not that he doesn't want to use it; it's just that the "Nine Strikes of Annihilation" are techniques for killing, and he doesn't want to use them on his fellow clan members. What's more important is that, just like Lin Zhongba's common skills, the "Nine Strikes of Annihilation" is also undergoing a transformation.

And this transformation is happening while absorbing the contents of the Purple Heaven Sword Scripture.

Aside from these details, Lin Ran actually knew one more thing. Three months ago, the wisdom Grandpa Zhongba obtained from killing those monsters, he didn't use it; instead, he kept it within his body.

Lin Ran had asked curiously why he didn't use it. Grandpa Zhongba just grinned and patted her head, shaking his head, "It's not the right time. The wisdom accumulated by Grandpa over the past hundred years has already been used up.

"If I used this wisdom again, I would probably enter the realm of enlightenment again. Grandpa wants to wait until Grandpa's own accumulation is enough before experiencing that realm. If I can stay there for as long as I have in the Dao Heart State, that would be perfect."

Of course, he said this just to Lin Ran. If this were to be revealed, many people would probably think that Lin Zhongba was unrealistic.

Enlightenment was something that many talented cultivators would only hope for, an opportunity that was extremely rare. Even if it's only for a few breaths of time, it's a great opportunity for ordinary cultivators.

Lin Zhongba actually wanted to stay in the state of enlightenment for an extended period. It was just a madman's fantasy.

The next day, Lin Xiuqi brought Lin Zhongba and Lin Ran in the main hall and expressed his intentions. The eyes of the Lin Ji trio visibly dimmed.

In their view, while Lin Ran's cultivation at the early Foundation Establishment Realm at sixteen was impressive, Lin Zhongba's later-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation was also commendable. However, the cultivation of these two individuals was insufficient to contend with the Hongshan Lin family, let alone deal with an expert at the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm.

It was evident that Lin family's ancestor was not willing to get involved with the Hongshan Lin family. However, due to sentimental reasons, the Azure Heaven Mountain Lin family had dispatched two Foundation Establishment experts to assist.

The only thing that confused them was why they had sent Lin Ran, an obvious family prodigy. Weren't they concerned that something unexpected might happen and jeopardize this genius's future?

The three of them were downcast but didn't inquire further. Lin Xiuqi and Lin Shanhai, understanding the misunderstanding of the Lin Ji trio, smiled. They realized that undisclosed cards were the real trump cards, and if revealed, it could be dangerous.

Lin Zhongba was an old hand at this and naturally understood the thoughts of those present.

"Let's go, everyone. This old man never thought I'd get to see the cultivation world outside one day," Lin Zhongba said with a smile, creating a diversion. The Lin Ji trio remained silent for a while but didn't press further.

Even though their moods were low, they couldn't help but entertain thoughts about what might happen. What if the Rainbow Maiden ended up in their Hongshan Lin family's hands? This would be an opportunity to break through to the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul Realm!

If the Azure Heaven Mountain Lin Family's Ancestor were to make a move, there would definitely be no hope left. However, now there was.

Rumors are just rumors. Who knows whether fairy Yunyao from Yunyao Palace might go there or not in the end?

If no Golden Core expert is involved, the Hongshan Lin family has a great chance of getting the Rainbow Maiden. Considering this, the Lin Ji trio stood up and followed Lin Zhongba, leaving Azure Heaven Mountain, heading towards Yun Monster Palace.

Above the clouds, Lin Ji led Lin Shimin and Lin Qing'er while Lin Ran controlled a green flying sword, following Lin Zhongba.

Looking at Lin Shimin and Lin Qing'er, who were filled with envy, they all wondered when they would be able to fly with their own swords, keeping up with Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Of course, when it comes to others, we mustn't forget about Old Master Lin Zhongba. He was leisurely seated on a crane, a celestial crane with incredible speed, almost on par with Foundation Establishment cultivators, and it seemed like he wasn't using his full power.

What truly astonished Lin Ji trio and made them find this elder remarkable was the fact that just moments ago, they had witnessed the old man take out a piece of paper and fold it into the shape of a paper crane. With a casual toss, it had transformed into the celestial crane before them.

"Ran'er, why don't you come up here? Flying on your own can be quite exhausting!" Lin Zhongba said to Lin Ran behind him with concern.

Lin Ran quickly shook her head. "No way, Grandpa. I have rare opportunities to come out like this. I must enjoy the experience of flying on my own."

Seeing this, Lin Zhongba didn't press the matter further. Instead, he casually folded another paper crane and handed it to Lin Ji trio, who didn't refuse.

Lin Qing'er, her curiosity piqued, gazed at Lin Zhongba. Perhaps it was the kind expression on the old master's face that made her muster the courage to ask, "Senior, what kind of Spell did you just use? It's incredible!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ji and Lin Shimin also turned their attention to Lin Zhongba. Such an incredible magic technique naturally piqued their curiosity.

Lin Zhongba smiled and addressed Lin Qing'er and Lin Shimin, "Just call me Grandpa. According to Xiuqi, the bloodline you share with the Azure Heaven Mountain Lin family makes us all one family. Don't make things feel too distant."

"All right, Grandpa!"

Lin Qing'er climbed up, not wanting to refuse the opportunity to be with a Grandpa who was at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Lin Shimin, on the other hand, understood the situation and obediently called him Grandpa.

Lin Ran rolled her eyes but didn't say much.

"Grandpa, you haven't told us yet. What kind of spell did you use just now?"
