Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

638: The branching ceremony is coming soon (two-in-one has been updated)Two years slowly passed, accompanied by the entire Shuangmu Island being decorated with lanterns and streamers, and continuous radiant light in the sky.

The Lin Family also welcomed the True Monarch Assembly.

Most of the Lin Family members began to gather on Shuangmu Island.

The Teleportation Array also lit up continuously.

Each time it lit up, countless Cultivators would emerge from the Teleportation Array.

The Cultivator responsible for guarding the Teleportation Array today was Lin Changyu. Lin Changyu wore a green robe, his eyes bright and piercing. He had Two Spiritual Roots and was at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, but even so, he did not feel that he had lost Face today.

Instead, seeing the Cultivators from various branches of the Lin Family and those who had been out on trials return in front of the Formation made him feel extremely fulfilled.

He most enjoyed counting the Geniuses of the Lin Family. In fact, he secretly compiled a ranking list for the Lin Family’s Cultivators, such as the Lin Family’s Top Ten Foundation Establishment Geniuses, Top Ten Skill Geniuses, and Top Ten Strongest Talents.

Although his list was not recognized by others, he enjoyed it immensely.

As the Teleportation Array activated once again, this time, hundreds of Cultivators appeared.

These hundred Cultivators all came from Hongmu Island, making them the closest group.

But it was still a considerable distance.

”Brother Xing!” Just then, a figure appeared, making Lin Changyu incredibly excited.

This figure was Lin Changxing, who was also ranked first on his Top Ten Talents list. Ever since Lin Changxing broke through to the Purple Mansion, he had been guarding the Hongmu Islands, and according to the news from the Family, Lin Changxing was very likely to be the next Lin Family Head.

After all, Lin Changxing was not only a Water Spiritual Root Genius but had also turned the tide in several beast tides and obtained a new Earth Rank Cultivation Technique in the Taihan Secret Realm. Both his strength and reputation were well-regarded in the Lin Family.

Most importantly, Lin Changxing spoke in a calm tone and treated people kindly, truly deserving of being called gentle as jade, amiable, and refined.

Of course, Lin Changxing was not like this when dealing with outsiders.

Therefore, the Chang generation all regarded Lin Changxing as someone comparable to Lin Shiming in his younger years.

”Changyu, well done, you’ve reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage!” Lin Changxing saw Lin Changyu’s cultivation at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and replied.

”Brother Xing’s return this time holds great promise!” Lin Changyu couldn’t help but praise him.

He also looked at the Cultivators Lin Changxing brought with him.

These Cultivators could be considered the cream of the crop from the Hongmu branch, and some were even on his list.

If they performed well, Lin Changxing’s reputation could rise even further.

Many of the Cultivators Lin Changyu observed had cultivation levels no lower than his, and it was important to know that he cultivated in the main branch, while these Cultivators cultivated in a sub-branch.

”Changyu is joking, the Family doesn’t value these things.” Lin Changxing didn’t explain much.

But his eyes seemed to say everything.

His Breakthrough to the Early Violet Palace Stage and his comprehension of the Minor Divine Ability, Heavenly Cold Star Burst, were not just for the Family Head position. He aimed to follow the path of Lin Shiming and Lin Yanjiao, to become, or even surpass them.

”You should also work harder. There’s also the Sword Trial Assembly this time!” Lin Changxing said, then departed.

Lin Changyu continued to wait.

However, as he watched the backs of that group, he couldn’t help but call out a number: ”Twelve!”

That was the number of Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

Besides that, he also knew that there were ten High Grade Tier 3 Alchemists and eight High Grade Tier 3 Artifact Refiners. He wasn’t sure about the Sword Intent Cultivators.

But he figured there were quite a few.

And this was only the Cultivators from the Hongmu branch.

The Teleportation Array continued to activate, accompanied by bursts of Spirit Light. Lin Changyu composed himself and continued to guard the Teleportation Array.

The Teleportation Array quickly lit up again, still with Cultivators from the Hongmu branch.

Lin Changyu carefully counted, feeling both pressure and a surge of pride.

This Lin Family was not only supported by Lin Shiming but also by countless Lin Family members.

The Teleportation Spirit Light quickly lit up again.

And this time, the Cultivators came from Tengmu Island.

A unique chill, belonging to water-attribute and ice-attribute Cultivators, settled upon the Teleportation Array.

Lin Yanqing and Lin Changxue led the way, walking towards them. Lin Yanqing was now at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage. He only had Two Spiritual Roots and was just over sixty years old, so he was considered quite a Genius in the Lin Family.

Lin Changxue, on the other hand, was only in her thirties and was already at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Her Ice Spiritual Root talent was exceptionally suited for the Taihan Secret Manual, leading to rapid advancement in her cultivation, leaving many Lin Family Cultivators far behind.

”Uncle Yanqing, Changxue!” Lin Changyu was also very familiar with the two of them, as they were prominent figures in the current Lin Family.

”Changyu, well done, your cultivation is even stronger than mine!” Lin Yanqing also said with a smile.

”Uncle Yanqing is joking, I’ve only just caught up. There’s still a big difference even at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.” Lin Changyu shook his head, but he quickly continued:

”Uncle Yanqing, this time, besides the Sword Trial Assembly and the usual Alchemy and Artifact Refining competitions, there’s also a Spirit Beast Assembly. You have a Profound Soul Python, this time you can really show off your skills!” Lin Changyu said again.

Then he took out several Jade Slips and placed them in Lin Yanqing’s hand.

As the head of a branch Family, Lin Yanqing naturally knew about the Lin Family’s Grand Competition and True Monarch Assembly.

But fearing he might miss the latest news, he still smiled and accepted the Jade Slips, distributing them to the other Cultivators.

After handing over the Jade Slips, Lin Yanqing took out a jade box and gave it to Lin Changyu.

”This...”

”A hundred-year-old cold jade, it’s nothing. It’s easier to trade on Tengmu Island.” Lin Yanqing explained.

Hearing this, Lin Changyu didn’t insist further and accepted the jade box.

”Uncle Yanqing certainly has a trump card this time!” Lin Changyu suddenly laughed.

His gaze fell on the middle of the group, where there were several young Cultivators wearing spirit-isolating robes, and a young child. This was what truly interested Lin Changyu.

Lin Yanqing smiled but didn’t speak.

Everything was understood without words.

Lin Changyu nodded upon seeing this, no longer speaking, and directed Lin Changxing towards the pavilion prepared by the Lin Family.

After Lin Yanqing and the others entered, the Teleportation Array behind them lit up several more times in quick succession.

Inside were also Cultivators from Tengmu Island.

After watching, Lin Changyu couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

Tengmu Island was indeed better than the Hongmu Islands branch.

It had a cold jade vein, cold island Yao Beast resources, and finally, the Taihan Secret Realm.

Its resource situation was almost comparable to the main island, Shuangmu Island.

As the Teleportation Array lit up again, this time, not many Cultivators emerged, less than thirty.

These were precisely the current Tianxi Islands branch of the Lin Family. Because the resources of the Tianxi Islands had been fully exploited, only the Heavenly Thunder Secret Realm remained. Therefore, most of the Cultivators sent by the Lin Family were Lightning Spell Cultivators and Formation Masters.

The former practiced lightning Spells, while the latter studied the Tier 6 Lightning-Guiding Formation.

Leading them was Lin Zelu. Lin Zelu’s aura was now even more profound, having reached the Mid Purple Mansion Realm, and was not far from the Purple Mansion Late Stage.

The Cultivators behind him were also few, but each one made Lin Changyu tremble with fear.

Among these thirty Cultivators, all were famous Formation Masters of the Lin Family.

Of course, except for one, and that was Lin Changxiao.

This was the third Lightning Spiritual Root Cultivator in the Lin Family, and he was roughly the same age as him.

The other party was also at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, but the purity of his Spiritual Qi was much higher than his own.

”Great-Uncle Ze Lu, Changyu greets you.” Lin Changyu still had the intention to converse with the others.

But with Lin Zelu, he respectfully handed over the Jade Slip, bowing and nodding at the same time.

Although Lin Zelu was not fierce, the teachings of the Lin Family’s Hall of Teachings emphasized respecting elders and loving the young from an early age.

What’s more, Lin Zelu was also the Lin Family’s second-best Formation Master, second only to Lin Houshou.

Now that Lin Houshou had broken through to the Golden Core, the status of the Lin Family’s Formation Masters would rise another level.

In fact, Lin Zelu would soon become the second Tier 5 Formation Master.

”Where is Seventh Uncle?”

”Seventh Grand Uncle is on Qinglian Peak, setting up a Formation. Tomorrow is when our Lin Family will upgrade its second Tier 6 Spiritual Vein!” Lin Changyu replied repeatedly.

The Lin Family’s first Tier 6 Spiritual Vein was located on Wuyan Peak, which was also where the North Sword Pavilion was situated.

But for the Lin Family Cultivators, the most important was Qinglian Peak.

Previously, there weren’t enough Spiritual Veins, but now the Lin Family had integrated the Hongmu Islands, the Tianshang Islands, and the Tengmu Islands.

There were also many places in the East Sea. With so many Spiritual Veins gathered, reaching a Tier 6 Spiritual Vein was not difficult.

After all, the Lin Family now also had Tier 6 Nascent Soul combat power, and most importantly, Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

”Understood.” Lin Zelu nodded and headed into the distance.

Lin Changyu watched Lin Zelu leave, but his gaze also lingered on a young Cultivator behind Lin Zelu.

Because he noticed that Lin Changxiao was ranked behind that Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, as if that Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator was more important to the Lin Family.

Even though Lin Changyu was puzzled, he dared not ask, merely silently took out a Jade Slip and began to record something.

At the same time, he also looked forward to the Lin Family’s Grand Competition after the True Monarch Assembly.

At that time, all kinds of Geniuses of the Lin Family would appear.

As the Cultivators from the Tianxi branch arrived via Teleportation, immediately after, the Cultivators from the Eastern Region branch came over.

There were also many Cultivators from the Eastern Region, led by Lin Yanyu. Lin Yanyu had now reached Peak Foundation Establishment, only a hair’s breadth away from the Purple Mansion.

Among the Cultivators behind him, besides those specializing in Corpse and Ghost cultivation within the Lin Family, there were only a few Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

There were very few Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But Lin Changyu still dared not underestimate him.

Even without the Lin Family’s support, Lin Yanyu had established a branch Family in the Eastern Region.

This was enough to show his courage. Speaking of which, Lin Yanyu was also involved in the Lin Family’s Family Head competition this time, but because Lin Yanyu’s standing in the Lin Family was not high.

He missed out on being the Lin Family Head.

But given time, it was highly possible for him to compete for the next Lin Family Head position.

Moreover, although Lin Yanyu only had Two Spiritual Roots, his Spell talent was not weak.

Just one glance, and Lin Changyu exclaimed in surprise:

”Great-Aunt Zehong, you’ve broken through to the Purple Mansion?” Lin Changyu was incredibly astonished.

He hadn’t expected Lin Zehong to have broken through to the Purple Mansion. He only knew that she had gained considerable rewards in the Taihan Secret Realm, then went to the Eastern Region for trials, and now, returning together, she had actually broken through to the Purple Mansion.

This speed was indeed surprising.

”It’s nothing. My grand-nephew Changxing has already broken through, how could I be slow? Where is he now? I have a talisman I’d like him to try!” Lin Zehong said boldly.

She didn’t miss Lin Shijin and Yu Jing much, but she was extremely excited about Lin Changxing.

She and Lin Changxing had been competing since childhood.

By the talent of Lin Zehong’s Two Spiritual Roots, she should have been far inferior to Lin Changxing, but Lin Zehong’s Talisman Refining talent made her the number one in the Lin Family.

In the future, she was expected to become the Lin Family’s strongest Spirit Talisman Master, so the Family provided her with the most resources.

In terms of cultivation, she hadn’t fallen far behind Lin Changxing.

Of course, Lin Changyu immediately recoiled at the mention of ’trying the talisman’ by Lin Zehong.

This ’trying the talisman’ was not really trying it, but rather being blasted by a Spirit Talisman.

Lin Changyu had the good fortune to witness it once and could only say that it was not something an ordinary person could endure.

”Brother Changxing should have gone to Qinglian Peak by now.” Lin Changyu answered honestly.

”Uncle Yanyu, this is the information for this Grand Competition!” Lin Changyu finished speaking and handed the Jade Slip to Lin Yanyu.

Lin Yanyu also nodded. The Lin Family’s Grand Competition had a minor competition every five years and a major one every ten years.

So Lin Yanyu had participated many times, but besides the Lin Family’s Corpse cultivators and Ghost Cultivators, he rarely achieved good results in the Grand Competition.

Previously, there was Lin Changxue, but Lin Changxue was more suitable for the Tengmu Islands.

However, Lin Yanyu also accepted the Jade Slip.

”Thank you!” After saying that, the group departed, heading towards Qinglian Peak to report.

Next, the Teleportation Array continued to light up. Many Cultivators came from the Eastern Region. Although there weren’t many Geniuses, Lin Changyu still recorded them one by one.

If not for this, he wouldn’t have actively sought this position.

When most of the people had arrived.

Fewer Cultivators arrived next, usually one person per Teleportation Array activation.

And in the next moment, as the Teleportation Array lit up again, this time, it was Lin Zeying who walked in.

Lin Zeying was covered in dust, having come from the Eastern Region.

”Great-Uncle Ze Ying!” Lin Changyu immediately stepped forward repeatedly.

If Lin Changxing was the first person he admired, then Lin Zeying was the second most talented person in the Lin Family in his opinion.

Of course, in his view, Lin Zeying was also a Spirit Body, with even stronger talent, but Lin Changxing was older and now at the Purple Mansion Realm.

”Changyu, I’m not late, am I?” Lin Zeying asked.

”You’re not late!” Lin Changyu said repeatedly.

”It’s good that I’m not late, otherwise if I don’t get first place, my mother will probably scold me again!” Lin Zeying said lightly, making Lin Changyu feel incredibly embarrassed.

However, he didn’t think Lin Zeying was joking. The other party’s strength had earned him the title of ’Cross-Realm King’ since childhood... In front of the Teleportation Array, Cultivators kept returning, and the entire Shuangmu Island became increasingly lively.

Lin Changyu watched as each one returned after Breakthroughs or successful cultivation, and for a moment, he was filled with emotion.

Besides the Lin Family’s Teleportation Array, countless spirit boats on the island also began to fly towards Shuangmu Island.

On the spirit boats were a large number of Mortals.

Now that the Lin Family had branch families, the Mortals of the branch families held the Ascension to Immortality Assembly in their respective branches.

But the Mortals of the main branch naturally still held the Ascension to Immortality Assembly on Shuangmu Island.

Now, after several hundred years, the Lin Family already had nearly ten million Mortals.

Each Ascension to Immortality Assembly required specially arranged Cultivators to transport Mortals who had reached the age...

Of course, at this moment, Lin Shiming didn’t know much about the affairs of Shuangmu Island. His main attention was focused on his Taicang Spirit Seeking Disk.

Currently, the Lin Family’s highest Spirit Seeker was still Lin Xianzhi, but he was only at Tier 4. Only the Taicang Spirit Seeking Disk could almost move a Tier 6 Spiritual Vein.

It was also the Lin Family’s best Magic Treasure for migrating Spiritual Veins. (End of Chapter)
