After the Wang Family’s people died—
The Lin Clan gradually returned to peace.
The commotion outside the clan had already disappeared.
The spectators who had gathered to watch the confrontation had left, carrying with them countless exaggerated stories about the mysterious Lin Clan.
Inside the Lin Clan, however, nobody paid much attention to the rumors.
The elders returned to their cultivation.
The younger generation returned to their respective houses.
And Lin Hao returned to his room.
He sat beside the window, looking completely relaxed.
The events of the day had been rather interesting.
The Wang Family had come looking for trouble.
Lin Yue had dealt with them with nothing more than a yawn.
And now—
DING!
A familiar system notification suddenly sounded.
Lin Hao raised an eyebrow.
“System?”
[Host, a new Clan Mission has been issued.]
A golden screen appeared before him.
[Clan Mission]
Mission Name: Young Generation’s Rise
Mission Requirement: Win the Azure River City Young Generation Martial Competition.
Mission Reward: Summon 15 clan members at the Peak Mahayana Realm.
Mission Failure: No Reward.
Lin Hao stared at the screen.
“Eh?”
He looked at it again.
“The Young Generation Martial Competition?”
[Correct, Host.]
Lin Hao rubbed his chin.
He already knew about the competition.
Mu Qingyue had told Lin Chen and the others about it when she came to thank them.
The Azure Cloud Sect had distributed seven Secret Realm slots to Azure River City.
The Secret Realm opened only once every hundred years.
And the city would hold a competition next month to determine the seven young cultivators who would receive those slots.
The participants had to be twenty years old or younger.
None of that surprised Lin Hao.
What surprised him was the system.
“Why would you suddenly issue a mission about this?”
[Because winning the competition will benefit the Lin Clan.]
Lin Hao looked at the reward.
“Fifteen Peak Mahayana cultivators…”
His eyes brightened.
That was a serious reward.
Even though he could obtain almost anything through the System Mall, having fifteen Peak Mahayana cultivators join the Lin Clan for free was still extremely useful.
Lin Hao smiled.
“Fine.”
“We’ll participate.”
He put away the system screen.
Then he thought about the younger generation.
Since they were going to participate in the competition—
It was time to see how much they had improved.
Lin Hao left his room and walked toward the area where the younger members of the Lin Clan lived.
The moment he appeared—
Several young members immediately noticed him.
“Ancestor!”
“Ancestor is here!”
The youths quickly gathered around him.
Lin Hao looked at them.
There were many familiar faces among them.
His gaze soon landed on Lin Chen and Lin Qing.
The two of them stood together.
Lin Hao immediately sensed their cultivation.
Foundation Establishment Realm Level 4.
A smile appeared on his face.
Only three days.
They’ve already reached Level 4.
Lin Hao was genuinely impressed.
Their cultivation speed was frightening.
He didn’t say much outwardly.
He simply nodded.
“Not bad.”
Lin Chen smiled.
“Ancestor, we’ve been working hard.”
Lin Qing nodded.
“We didn’t want to disappoint you.”
Lin Hao smiled.
Inside, however, he was quite pleased.
Their cultivation had already reached Foundation Establishment Realm Level 4.
But their actual combat strength was even more frightening.
Lin Hao then looked toward the other eighteen youths who had previously received his gifts.
Their cultivation had also increased significantly.
All eighteen had reached—
Foundation Establishment Realm Level 2.
Yet their combat power was far beyond their cultivation.
Even at Foundation Establishment Realm Level 2, they could fight cultivators at the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm.
Lin Hao nodded in satisfaction.
Then—
Three familiar figures suddenly ran toward him.
“Ancestor!”
Lin Hao looked over.
The three girls were none other than the triplets.
Lin Xin.
Lin Wan’er.
Lin Shiyu.
The three girls quickly surrounded him.
Lin Hao smiled.
“What is it?”
Lin Xin puffed out her chest proudly.
“Ancestor, we’ve already reached Foundation Establishment Realm Level 2!”
Lin Wan’er immediately nodded.
“All three of us!”
Lin Shiyu smiled proudly.
“We’re already very strong now.”
Lin Hao raised an eyebrow.
“Very strong?”
The three girls nodded at the same time.
“Of course!”
Lin Xin placed her hands on her waist.
“We’re strong enough to protect the entire Lin Clan now.”
Lin Wan’er nodded vigorously.
“Yes!”
Lin Shiyu added seriously,
“If anyone comes to bully our family again, we’ll protect everyone!”
Lin Hao stared at the three girls for a moment.
Then—
He laughed.
“Protect the entire clan?”
The three girls nodded enthusiastically.
“Yes!”
Lin Hao couldn’t help smiling.
These three little girls had become much more confident after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.
He reached out and gently patted their heads.
“Good.”
“Since my three princesses are already so strong, then you have to keep working hard.”
The three girls immediately smiled.
“We will!”
Lin Hao looked at them with amusement.
He was genuinely pleased with their progress.
But there were still many younger members of the clan who had yet to receive the same opportunities.
Lin Hao’s gaze moved toward the remaining youths.
“System.”
[Yes, Host.]
“How many of the younger generation haven’t received Primordial Bodies and special physiques?”
[Thirty.]
Lin Hao nodded.
“Then give them theirs.”
The system immediately responded.
[Understood.]
Lin Hao didn’t need to think twice.
He had already done this before.
There was no reason to make things complicated.
A golden light suddenly appeared above the younger generation.
The thirty youths looked upward in confusion.
Then—
BOOM!
Thirty pillars of golden light descended from the sky.
Each pillar enveloped one of the young Lin Clan members.
The entire courtyard trembled.
The surrounding Lin Clan members stared in shock.
Golden patterns began appearing across the bodies of the thirty youths.
Their bloodlines surged.
Their spiritual roots transformed.
Their physiques began changing.
One youth’s aura suddenly exploded.
Another clenched his fists as powerful energy surged through his body.
A third youth suddenly sat down, instinctively entering a cultivation state.
The system’s voice echoed throughout the courtyard.
[Beginning Primordial Foundation Integration.]
[Primordial Spiritual Roots detected.]
[Primordial Physiques detected.]
[Primordial Bloodlines detected.]
[Integration beginning.]
The golden light became even brighter. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
The thirty youths trembled as the ancient power entered their bodies.
Their bodies were being completely transformed.
Their spiritual roots were being strengthened.
Their bloodlines were awakening.
Their physiques were becoming extraordinary.
One after another—
The transformations began to stabilize.
Finally—
The golden light disappeared.
The system’s voice sounded once again.
[Primordial Foundations Successfully Integrated.]
[Primordial Spiritual Roots Successfully Integrated.]
[Primordial Physiques Successfully Integrated.]
[Primordial Bloodlines Successfully Integrated.]
The thirty youths slowly opened their eyes.
They could immediately feel the difference.
Their bodies felt completely different.
Their senses had become sharper.
Their spiritual energy was purer.
Even their understanding of cultivation had increased dramatically.
Several of them stared at their hands in disbelief.
“I…”
“I can feel it.”
“My body…”
“What happened to me?”
Lin Hao smiled.
“From today onward, cultivate properly.”
The thirty youths immediately bowed.
“Yes, Ancestor!”
Lin Hao nodded.
He looked at the younger generation before him.
Lin Chen.
Lin Qing.
The eighteen original youths.
The three triplets.
And the thirty newly awakened members.
The younger generation of the Lin Clan was becoming increasingly terrifying.
Lin Hao suddenly remembered something.
“System.”
[Yes, Host.]
“Show me the information about the competition.”
A golden screen appeared.
[Azure River City Young Generation Martial Competition]
Participants: Cultivators aged 20 and below
Purpose: Determine the seven participants who will enter the Secret Realm
Secret Realm Opening: Once every 100 years
Available Slots: 7
Current Strongest Known Young Cultivator: Foundation Establishment Realm Level 3
Lin Hao stared at the final line.
“Foundation Establishment Realm Level 3?”
He glanced toward Lin Chen and Lin Qing.
They were already at Foundation Establishment Realm Level 4.
And they could fight Core Formation experts.
Then he looked at the other eighteen.
They were Foundation Establishment Realm Level 2.
Yet they could fight Peak Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Lin Hao couldn’t help smiling.
The younger generation of the Lin Clan was already far ahead of the young cultivators in Azure River City.
And now—
Thirty more of them had received powerful Primordial foundations.
Lin Hao crossed his arms.
“Looks like we have enough people.”
The system remained silent.
Lin Hao looked at the mission reward again.
15 Peak Mahayana Realm clan members.
A smile slowly appeared on his face.
“Since there’s a reward…”
“We definitely have to win.”
He turned around and looked at the younger generation.
“Prepare yourselves.”
“The competition is next month.”
The young members immediately responded.
“Yes, Ancestor!”
Lin Hao nodded.
The Azure River City Young Generation Martial Competition.
Seven Secret Realm slots.
And a system reward of fifteen Peak Mahayana cultivators.
The Lin Clan was about to make its first appearance before the entire city.
And this time—
They would no longer be able to remain completely unnoticed.
