Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan -
Chapter 36: Lin Xunxian's Way!
"The entire population of Baoshan Prefecture, now only one in ten remains! If it weren't for the intervention of an existence at the Soul Formation Dao Lord Realm at a critical moment, countless lives in Baoshan Prefecture would have been devoured by the Heavenly Dao Tribulation."
Lin Shanhai's words sent a shiver down the spines of the Lin Family members present. How vast was a prefecture's domain?! Over a billion square kilometers, with a population numbering in the tens of billions. If only one in ten survived, how many lives were lost in this Heavenly Dao Tribulation?
"Second Brother, doesn't Baoshan Prefecture have the Third Rank power, Bai Lian Palace, in charge? Why is the damage still so extensive?"
Lin Xiuqi asked in confusion. Baoshan Prefecture was different from Renhuai County as it had a Third Rank Golden Core power governing it. It was said that Bai Lian Palace, situated there, was a formation sect, with formations inscribed throughout Baoshan Prefecture's territory.
Although the palace had only one Golden Core Realms expert, with Baoshan Prefecture's grand formation, they could even contend with a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator. Depending on their mastery of formation techniques, Bai Lian Palace's disciples could harness the power of the grand formation to varying degrees.
In Baoshan Prefecture, in one-on-one scenarios, apart from geniuses, few could surpass Bai Lian Palace's disciples.
Lin Shanhai sighed, "Family Head, imagine, if it weren't for the Grand Ancestor's intervention, what would have happened to Renhuai County now?"
Lin Xiuqi fell silent, and the other Lin Family members remained so too. Only those who had experienced the terror of the Heavenly Dao Tribulation could truly understand. Without the Grand Ancestor's intervention, the entire Renhuai County, including the Lin Family, might have vanished from this cultivation world.
"I inquired and learned that in regions historically affected by the Heavenly Dao Tribulation, the majority of forces and lives within have met unfortunate ends. Those that managed to survive account for only half, and those that remained unscathed and even benefited from the tribulation are extremely rare, like our Lin Family.
"Baoshan Prefecture faced a Nascent Soul Peak-level Heavenly Dao Tribulation. Regardless of how powerful Bai Lian Palace is, it's still just a Third Rank power. It's said that at the heart of Baoshan Prefecture, there's a hundred-mile-deep crater, where one of Bai Lian Palace's Palace Masters was annihilated by a Nascent Soul monstrosity."
"Second Uncle, you haven't explained why we didn't receive any news about this?" Lin Ran asked in puzzlement.
Lin Shanhai responded with a serious expression, "Baoshan Prefecture, just like Renhuai County, underwent the Heavenly Dao Tribulation. However, due to external intervention, the feedback of Heavenly Dao's blessings wasn't as significant as in Renhuai County. But the level of the tribulation was different.
"The spiritual vein within Bai Lian Palace's mountain gate, which was originally at the Third Rank intermediate level, leaped to the Fourth Rank advanced level. Numerous Third Rank spiritual veins, big and small, appeared throughout Baoshan Prefecture, turning the whole prefecture into a paradise.
"All sorts of cultivation resources sprouted like mushrooms after the rain. In this situation, a Nascent Soul force took an interest in this piece of land, wanting to intervene and occupy it. Technically, Baoshan Prefecture belongs to Liuyan Province, and after Bai Lian Palace's mishap, it should have fallen under the control of Liuyan Province's Nascent Soul force, the Heavenly Thunder Sacred Sect.
"However, I heard that more than one Nascent Soul force from outside has intervened, and they are evenly matched, causing a three-month-long stalemate within Baoshan Prefecture. To prevent news from spreading and more people from learning about this, the Nascent Soul forces that intervened have mutually agreed to keep the information under wraps.
"But the matter of Baoshan Prefecture is just too significant! There are too many people who know about it!
"In three months, the information is practically uncontainable now, and the nearby jurisdictions of Baoshan Prefecture have almost all learned of this. It takes half a month even for Foundation Establishment cultivators to fly across several jurisdictions between our Tianyuan Province and Baoshan Prefecture, so the transmission of news is only a matter of time."
Lin Shanhai spoke with ease. After all, this matter was only of peripheral concern to him. Competition at the Nascent Soul Realm had little to do with the Lin Family. It wasn't as if good fortune would fall from the sky, allowing the Lin Family to control Baoshan Prefecture. Although he was quite tempted by that rich cultivation land, he knew it was a pipe dream.
The others had similar thoughts after hearing this information, but they were still surprised that such a significant event had occurred in the outside world.
For the foreseeable future, the entire Liuyan Province was bound to become lively, especially Baoshan Prefecture, which would become the epicenter of a looming conflict.
"Family Head, Elder Shanhai, Xunxian wishes to go to Baoshan Prefecture for training. I hope for the family's approval!"
Suddenly, at the head of the hall, Lin Xunxian stood and addressed Lin Xiuqi and Lin Shanhai. His expression was serious.
Lin Xiuqi was slightly surprised. "Xunxian, have you encountered any difficulties in your cultivation, or are the resources allocated by the family insufficient?"
Lin Xunxian shook his head. "Family Head, Xunxian has encountered no problems, and the resources for cultivation are sufficient. It's just that I feel my cultivation speed is still too slow.
"In the beginning, my rapid progress in martial arts was due to my travels far and wide, learning the strengths of different schools, and sparring with various experts. Now, as I step onto the path of immortality, I want to retrace that old journey.
"While the family is important, it is not the way of the seeker. This idea has lingered in my mind for quite some time. It was only when Uncle mentioned the events in Baoshan Prefecture today that I made up my mind. We cultivators should experience it, step into the whirlwind, and witness the many splendors of the immortal world.
"I want to go to Baoshan Prefecture and spar, battle, debate, and even face life and death challenges with the outstanding disciples of various sects. Only then can I pursue the immortal way I seek."
