Xianxia: Establishing an Immortal Clan Through Simulation

“Speaking of the inheritance behind Zichen, do you think the changes in our Lin family could have been caused by them?”

As everyone was indulging in visions of the Lin family’s bright future, a youthful voice suddenly interrupted.

“Huh?”

Everyone froze, ready to refute the idea. But on second thought, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

However…

Even if a Reversion Realm expert had developed supernatural abilities with all kinds of incredible methods, could they really accomplish something like this?

They were skeptical.

“Let’s not dwell on pointless speculations. Our cultivation speed has increased threefold—this is a good thing! Whether it’s a blessing from heaven or a technique from Zichen’s inheritance, what difference does it make if we find out?”

“The priority now is to fully utilize this state to elevate our own cultivation levels.”

“Agreed.”

“Seconded.”

“…”

Thus, the Lin family began to cultivate silently, treasuring this rare “blessing.”

The entire family turned quiet.

Except for essential tasks and maintaining family operations, every member of the Lin family became a cultivation fanatic. This behavior amazed many in Qingfeng City who learned about it.

“What’s going on with Lin Zihong? Why has he suddenly become so diligent?”

“No idea. Just yesterday, I invited him to relax at Tianxiang Pavilion this afternoon. Normally, he’d be the most eager one. This time, I don’t know if he’s taken the wrong medicine or what, but he actually refused! He even said he wanted to focus on cultivation to surprise his parents at the family competition. Can you believe that?”

“I bet his elders gave him a stern lecture. Give it some time, and he’ll be back to his old self.”

“Hahaha.”

The first to notice the Lin family’s transformation weren’t the major powers in Qingfeng City but a group of young scions who had come to visit Lin Zihong.

However, they didn’t take it seriously and went off to amuse themselves, laughing it off.

If this had been an isolated case, no one would have cared, and it wouldn’t have attracted attention from the various factions.

But as time passed…

Half a month, even a full month later, the Lin family maintained this cultivation-crazed state, which began to astonish the factions.

Had it not been for the fact that no Prenatal martial artists from the Lin family had moved around recently, nor any news of someone acquiring a great inheritance or opportunity, people might have suspected that the Lin family had obtained some sort of treasure to aid cultivation.

Even so, the factions in Qingfeng City couldn’t help but begin quiet investigations.

“Investigate! Find out what’s happening with the Lin family!”

In a massive compound dozens of miles from the Lin family’s territory, the head of the Wang family issued his latest command.

In Qingfeng City, many forces dealt in spiritual herbs, but only the Lin family could rival the Wang family.

As such, their relationship had always been strained.

With something so strange happening in the Lin family, the Wang family head couldn’t rest easy without finding out the truth.

Of course, this was only the Wang family. Other factions found the Lin family’s behavior curious but didn’t pay it much attention.

After all, you can’t just cause trouble for someone because they’re cultivating diligently. That wouldn’t make sense.

Moreover, the Lin family did have some minor ties to the Lin family of Qingzhou City. Though they hadn’t been formally accepted yet, bloodlines connected them. Without absolute conflicts of interest, the factions wouldn’t trouble the Lin family without reason.

Besides, the strength displayed by the Lin family’s young master yesterday had shocked a great number of people.

Sixteen years old, Second Stage of the Postnatal Realm.

At this rate, with sufficient resources from the Lin family, Lin Zichen could likely reach the Ninth Stage of the Postnatal Realm within two or three years. Furthermore, he had a good chance of breaking through to the Second or even Third Stage of the Prenatal Realm before the age of twenty-five.

By then, his chances of securing a top ten position in the Qingzhou City Lin family’s grand competition would be nearly 90%.

“The Qingzhou Lin family… Lin Shoucheng is truly fortunate!”

“Who wouldn’t agree? That’s a lineage with a history of nearly two thousand years—a prestigious first-rate power with significant renown throughout the entire Qianyuan Country. If his son truly leads their return to that Lin family, their status and influence will undergo a complete transformation. At that point, they probably wouldn’t even bother to acknowledge all of Qingfeng City.”

“What a pity. If only we had formed a good relationship with the Lin family earlier, we might have benefited from their rise.”

“If not for the Lin family’s old clan leader, Lin Zuxiong, breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm decades ago and remembering his son, who had been left to wander outside, who would have guessed the Lin family had such a powerful background? Although offering help in dire straits is more virtuous than embellishing success, this is still an excellent opportunity to forge closer ties. We must seize it.”

“Indeed, it is a wise move.”

In the Feng family’s residence, the senior members sighed with mixed emotions as they studied the intelligence reports in their hands.

Previously, they had never considered the Lin family worth their attention. However, by chance, they had uncovered the Lin family’s true background decades ago. Even though the Lin family seemed to be declining while holding a considerable share of Qingfeng City’s spiritual herb market, they refrained from making any moves.

After all, that background was something even the Wang family couldn’t match.

And if they couldn’t afford to provoke the Wang family, they certainly couldn’t afford to provoke the Lin family.

Amidst these internal discussions among the various forces, time continued to march forward.

In just over a month, the Lin family’s efforts bore fruit.

Among the younger generation, Lin Zitao, Lin Ziquan, and others—who had been at the ninth stage of the Body Refinement Realm—successfully broke through to the first stage of the Postnatal Realm. Others of their generation also experienced varying degrees of improvement. Even those already at the Postnatal Realm saw significant gains. Those on the verge of breaking through did so, advancing to the next stage.

However, this wasn’t the most significant development.

The most critical changes occurred in the Lin family’s higher ranks.

The family’s Great-Grandfather and second Great-Grandfather, who were projected to take two or three months to break through to the Master Realm according to the simulator, managed to achieve this in just over a month.

With the addition of two Master-level powerhouses, the Lin family’s strength received a substantial boost.

Moreover, several senior members of the Lin family took the opportunity to improve their cultivation levels. The clan leader, Lin Shoucheng, advanced to the eighth stage of the Prenatal Realm.

In just over a month, the Lin family’s overall power underwent a massive transformation.

If they could produce one more Master…

The Lin family would surpass the Feng family and the Qingmu Sect, becoming a second-rate  force rivaling the Qingfeng City Lord’s Mansion.

“Phew… As expected, a threefold cultivation speed is remarkable. I’ve actually broken through to the Prenatal Realm this quickly. At this rate, it will take me no more than ten years to reach the simulator-projected peak of the Master Realm.”

Meanwhile, in a secluded chamber, Lin Zichen suddenly opened his eyes. Feeling the Prenatal true essence coursing through his body, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
