This time, the reward was exceptionally generous. It was so generous that even Lin Yu couldn’t help feeling excited. But soon, a headache followed as he frowned and said, “To complete this mission… the difficulty is off the charts.”
In the novel, Lin Yu’s parents were extremely mysterious. His father, Lin Wudi, was once the most monstrous genius of the Lin Clan. Not even thirty years old, he had already reached the Quasi-Saint Realm. Compared to Lin Xiaotian of the same generation, he was far stronger and was seen as the most likely candidate to succeed as the Lord of the Ninefold Sacred Domain.
As for Lin Yu’s mother, Yan Rushuang, she was even more enigmatic. She met Lin Wudi during a journey of training and adventure, and their companionship eventually blossomed into love, resulting in Lin Yu’s birth.
However, a year after Lin Yu was born, Yan Rushuang suddenly vanished without a trace. It was said she left behind only a letter. Lin Wudi went mad searching for her, but in the end, he too disappeared. Two years later, a woman carrying a newborn girl named Lin Qianqian appeared at the Lin Clan, claiming she was Lin Wudi’s child. At first, no one believed her until the bloodline test confirmed her claim. From then on, Lin Qianqian was labeled as an illegitimate daughter, which led to many later complications.
Lin Yu rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “For now, this is all I know about my parents. Where am I supposed to find them?”
Based on his many years of reading novels, Lin Yu was certain that his mother, Yan Rushuang, must have come from an extraordinary background. To find clues, perhaps Lin Xiaotian might be able to provide some answers.
Without hesitation, Lin Yu transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the main city of the Ninefold Sacred Domain.
Inside the Lin Clan’s mansion, Lin Xiaotian was calmly sipping tea when he suddenly glanced toward the void beside him and said, “Brat, since you’re already here, why don’t you show yourself?”
Lin Yu chuckled awkwardly and stepped out of the void, saying, “Sect Master, have you been well lately?”
Lin Xiaotian rolled his eyes and scolded, “You brat, you suddenly ran off with Gu Ling’er that day, and her sect master came all the way here to question me. And you still dare to ask if I’ve been well?”
Though he reprimanded him, Lin Xiaotian’s eyes revealed a deep astonishment. He hadn’t expected Lin Yu, still in the Nascent Soul Realm, to be capable of breaking through space. That was a feat only those in the Divine Transformation Realm could accomplish.
Lin Xiaotian couldn’t help sighing. Truly, father and son, both were monstrous geniuses.
Lin Yu cleared his throat and got straight to the point. “Sect Master, I came today because I have a few questions, and I hope you’ll answer them truthfully.”
Lin Xiaotian raised an eyebrow and said, “What questions? Ask away.”
Lin Yu took a deep breath. “Where exactly did my parents go?”
The moment he spoke, Lin Xiaotian’s smile froze, and his expression turned cold. “Why are you asking about that?”
He naturally knew some details about Lin Wudi and Yan Rushuang’s disappearance, but it was a top-secret matter within the Lin Clan—something absolutely forbidden to mention, even to Lin Yu himself. Get faster updates on novelping.com.
Lin Yu frowned and said, “I’m their son. Isn’t it normal for me to want to know where my parents went? Please answer me, Sect Master.”
With a loud crack, Lin Xiaotian slammed the table in anger, shattering it into pieces. He shouted, “Don’t bring this up again! We’ll talk about it when you reach the Divine Transformation Realm!”
Brat, still only in the Nascent Soul Realm, and already daring to touch clan secrets? Does he think awakening his dual pupils makes him invincible?
However, Lin Yu’s lips curved into a faint smirk. “Sect Master, are you sure about that?”
Lin Xiaotian snorted coldly. “Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back!”
Inside, he was secretly pleased. By the time you reach the Divine Transformation Realm, I’ll just pretend to forget everything. It’s not like you’ll have any proof.
But in the next instant, a terrifying aura exploded from Lin Yu’s body.
“This… this… Divine Transformation Realm?!”
Lin Xiaotian’s face froze. His teacup shattered in his grip as his voice trembled. Was this kid cheating? Just moments ago, he was only mid-stage Nascent Soul, and now he had stepped into Divine Transformation?!
Lin Yu grinned. “Sect Master, should you fulfill your promise now?”
Inside, he sneered. Having read the original novel, Lin Yu knew exactly what kind of man Lin Xiaotian was—always forgetting promises and avoiding responsibilities. That was his defining trait.
So, Lin Yu had directly used his Luck Value to exchange for three years of cultivation, breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm on the spot. Let’s see how you get out of this now.
Still, his heart ached a little at the thought of his Luck Value returning to zero again.
“You brat…” Lin Xiaotian’s face shifted rapidly, trying to find an excuse, when suddenly his expression stiffened. The clan’s ancestor had transmitted a message to him.
Moments later, Lin Xiaotian sighed deeply. “Forget it. You’ll learn about these things sooner or later.”
Though Lin Yu didn’t understand why Lin Xiaotian had suddenly changed his mind, what mattered most was that he could finally get a clue.
Lin Xiaotian’s expression grew complicated. “There’s too much I can’t say. But I’ll tell you this—your mother’s background is terrifying. If she hadn’t left back then, the entire Ninefold Sacred Domain would have been destroyed.” Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
Lin Yu’s mind began piecing things together. It must have been a situation where his mother sacrificed herself to protect her child, willingly returning to her family to face punishment. As for his father Lin Wudi, he was likely still on the run, avoiding bringing disaster back to the Ninefold Sacred Domain, which explained his twenty-year absence.
Then Lin Xiaotian handed him an ancient map. “Your father discovered your mother inside the Secret Realm of the Sacred Ruins. This is the coordinate he left behind. You can go take a look… hey! Brat! I’m not done talking!”
Before Lin Xiaotian could finish, Lin Yu snatched the map and vanished in a flash.
He soon arrived at the Sacred Domain’s Secret Realm and released the Ferocious Winged Beast within the restricted area. Lin Yu said, “Let’s go. Take me somewhere.”
The Ferocious Winged Beast, thrilled to be free again, nodded eagerly. “I await your command, Master!”
Just as Lin Yu was about to depart, Gu Ling’er suddenly appeared, her face lighting up with joy. “Lin Yu, I finally found you!”
Lin Yu was startled. “Why are you here?”
Gu Ling’er smiled brightly. “Of course, the sect master sent me to deepen our bond. Where are you going? Starting trouble again? Take me with you!”
Lin Yu sighed helplessly but didn’t refuse. “Fine, come along then.”
He wrapped an arm around her waist, leapt onto the Ferocious Winged Beast, and they soared into the sky at full speed.
Ten thousand li away from the Ninefold Sacred Domain, an endless forest brimming with mysterious energy came into view. Based on Lin Wudi’s coordinates, the Secret Realm of the Sacred Ruins should be within.
Lin Yu compared the markings and pointed. “There, that direction.”
Without hesitation, the Ferocious Winged Beast followed his command and soon located a barrier.
Just as Lin Yu and Gu Ling’er were about to enter, two figures suddenly emerged from the woods. Both sides froze in shock.
Lin Yu was stunned. “Lin Qingdi, Su Yao?”
Su Yao was equally shocked. “Gu Ling’er, Lin Yu?”
Then, in perfect unison, they exclaimed, “Why are you here?!”
