Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan
Chapter 69: Ten Direction Ancestral Formation, Vast Sea of Stars

It was no wonder that Lin Xuan asked this question. The cultivation methods and resources in the ring were all in place. Any family, given enough time to develop, would be able to smoothly reach the Fourth Rank Nascent Soul level. The result was nothing more than a matter of time.

Nangong Ruoxian didn't deny this.

"After comprehensive consideration, the Ancestral Temple believes that what is lacking in the human territory is people like the Lin Family, who treat mortals as their bloodline and gives their all to protect them." Read Web Novels Online Free - NovelFire Novel Fire - novelfire.net

"So, they're going to use the Lin Family as a model?!"

Lin Xuan immediately understood.

Nangong Ruoxian nodded. Thɪs chapter is updated by NovᴇlFɪre.ɴet

"Lin family is not the only example; the Ancestral Temple will nurture such families and sects in various regions of the human territory. They will serve as role models for other powers on human lands. Of course, their cultivation resources will not be as abundant as the Lin family's, but they will receive appropriate support. The Lin family is a special case," Nangong Ruoxian said, giving Lin Xuan a meaningful glance.

She knew the reason for this special case. Therefore, there was one thing she didn't mention, as she wanted to maintain a good relationship with Lin Xuan.

As a bridge, the Lin family was naturally supposed to leave a favorable impression on them. What better way to do so than by directly providing them with resources and cultivation methods? For the Lin family, cultivating a Nascent Soul-level force might be like manna from heaven.

But for the Ancestral Temple, the combined value of all these efforts was not as significant as a Soul Formation Realm treasure. This was the return for planting a seed today that would grow into a towering tree in the future.

"Oh, and there's one more reward!" Nangong Ruoxian seemed to remember something and her expression became serious.

She raised her hand, and a yellow token appeared in her hand. On the front was a single character, covered in intricate runes. Although he didn't recognize them, he understood their meaning at a glance.

"Ancestor! The Human Ancestral Temple?"

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and whispered.

On the back of the token was a mysterious palace that connected heaven and earth. Lin Xuan speculated that this should be the appearance of the Ancestral Temple.

Nangong Ruoxian infused spiritual energy into the token. In the next moment, the token lit up. A yellow beam of light shot up from the token into the sky, piercing through the heavens.

"My goodness! What is that?"

"Look up at the sky! Look up at the sky! We can see the starry sea directly!"

"What's with those ten statues? They're so tall and huge! Why do I feel my blood trembling, as if my soul wants to kneel and worship?"

The surrounding commotion grew louder. Lin Xuan raised his head and looked at the sky. In the next moment, his pupils slightly contracted.

The dark yellow light column was under his complete control.

What he saw was an expansive and boundless starry sea. Within the sea of stars, countless stars twinkled. The place where Lin Xuan was located wasn't a single star but an indescribably vast continent. These celestial bodies were right in front of this continent, like a drop of water in a pond, minuscule.

In the sky above the continent, there were ten human-shaped statues in ten different directions. Seven men and three women! Each one gave off an unfathomable, inviolable feeling.

These ten statues exuded a rich sense of Dao, and they were interconnected, forming an impenetrable barrier that protected the land below.

This all lasted for just a moment. Soon, the unusual sight in the sky disappeared. In its place, a crisscrossing golden net covered every corner of the sky.

If the starry sea could only be seen in Renhuai County, then at this moment, countless beings within a radius of a hundred billion miles could simply look up and see this mysterious golden net.

Lin Xuan furrowed his brow slightly because every point on this golden net gave him the feeling of punishment from the Heavenly Dao and the gaze of a god. It monitored every movement within the human territory.

"The Ten Direction Guardian Ancestral Formation!"

At this moment, Lin Xuan remembered what Nangong Yunyao had said before. If a Great Power invaded the human territory and was discovered, they would be killed by the Ten Direction Ancestral Formation!

Could she be referring to this golden net?

No, Lin Xuan shook his head. This wasn't just a golden net. The barrier formed by those ten mysterious statues should be the same. Clearly, the Ten Direction Ancestral Formation was divided into two layers. The outer layer was for defense against external enemies.

The inner golden web was designed to eliminate internal threats and defend against internal turmoil.

"Hum!"

Just then, the golden net in the sky trembled, radiating waves of golden light. It condensed into a segment of golden text in the heavens.

[Ancestral Temple Order: The Lin family of the Renhuai County, under the Heavenly Tribulation, didn't fear death and protected the millions of lives in Renhuai County.

As an appreciation, they are bestowed with a Nascent Soul cultivation technique, the Pure Spirit Scripture, a certain amount of resources, and the ownership of the Baoshan Prefecture of the Liuyan State.

In addition, before Lin family of the Renhuai County becomes a Nascent Soul force, anyone who conspires against the Lin family will be punished by the Ten Direction Ancestral Formation and killed immediately.]

Although just about a hundred words, these golden characters cast a profound silence over the entire Luo Dao God Province. Countless beings gazed in astonishment at these words in the sky, scarcely able to believe it.

The Nascent Soul technique, along with countless resources, could elevate a family from the Qi Condensation realm to the Nascent Soul, making a county capable of accommodating a Nascent Soul force. Moreover, comprehensive protection by t Ancestral Formation was crucial. What kind of treatment was this?

All because the Lin Family protected a million mortals?

In this moment, countless human forces and cultivators of the Luo Dao God Province displayed unprecedented envy. Among them, most of their territories housed tens of millions, or even billions, of mortals. These mortals would die a hundred years later, then be reborn in large numbers. Although they were nominally part of the human race, they had already advanced to a high level of cultivation, shedding their self-awareness.

Some regarded mortals as nothing more than soil, the nurturing grounds for cultivators like themselves. Indifference had long become the norm. When danger loomed, abandonment became inevitable.

At this moment, the Ancestral Temple's actions undoubtedly conveyed a message to them: they were wrong. Not only were cultivators part of the human race, but even these countless, incredibly weak mortals were also part of the human race. The Ancestral Temple treated them all equally.

"The Lin Family is incredibly fortunate!"

"Yes, their luck soared to the heavens in one leap!"

"Fortune? What kind of fortune is this? A human hero who sacrificed himself in a life-and-death crisis to protect a million people. You call this fortune?"

"Regardless, the Ancestral Temple's stance is clear. Starting today, the Lin Family's territory falls under the Ancestral Temple's jurisdiction. From now on, no cultivator is permitted to bully or harm mortals.

"Also, mobilize all our forces and gather all information about the Lin Family of Renhuai County. Send them a generous gift and befriend this family."

The Luo God Dao Province had seventy-two prefectures and twelve hundred counties. At this moment, numerous Third Rank Golden Core and Fourth Rank Nascent Soul cultivators simultaneously issued two commands: treat the mortals within their territories kindly and gather all information about the Lin Family and establish friendship with them.

Tianyuan Prefecture, the first peak of the Nine Peaks Origin Mountain.

Mu Shang and Lian Chengyue, both Golden Core cultivators, exchanged glances, seeing the shock and incredulity in each other's eyes. They gazed silently at each other for a while. Finally, Mu Shang spoke.

"We of the Nine Peaks Origin Mountain shouldn't have offended the Lin family, right?"

Lian Chengyue contemplated and shook her head.

"We of the Nine Peaks don't typically oppress subordinate forces within our territory, do we?"

Mu Shang remained concerned and continued to ask.

Lian Chengyue still shook her head.

The three Golden Core cultivators in the Nine Peaks Origin Mountain had good tempers and had never done such things.

"The disciples of the sect shouldn't have violated the law and offended the Lin family, right?"

Mu Shang went on.

This time, Lian Chengyue hesitated for a moment and replied with a bitter smile.

"As the sect grows, it is inevitable that a few black sheep might emerge. I'm not sure if they've offended the Lin Family in any way."

Mu Shang's expression turned serious.

"We need to thoroughly investigate this! Starting now, we will conduct an internal investigation within the sect, identifying those who have committed crimes and acted with impunity using the sect's power and influence. I will personally oversee this. Anyone who bullies or harms mortals will be added to the list."

Lian Chengyue didn't object; she nodded. The rise of the Lin Family was inevitable. As a former upper sect, they were the most likely to establish good relations. But at the same time, they were also the most likely to become enemies with the Lin Family. Any destabilizing elements had to be thoroughly investigated and suppressed from the cradle.

"Mu Shang, your vision this time is higher than mine."

Lian Chengyue said with a somewhat melancholic expression.

Mu Shang didn't speak. He naturally understood Lian Chengyue's meaning. In fact, several months ago, there were already those within the sect who wanted to investigate the Lin Family. Lian Chengyue was one of their supporters.

He had suppressed the matter because he believed the Lin Family was extraordinary. The Nine Peaks should befriend them, not offend them. At that time, Lian Chengyue felt he had been overly cautious and timid. He even suspected that Mu Shang, having been away from the sect for too long, had become a coward who feared all risks.

This was also the reason why Lian Chengyue had contempt for Mu Shang when he speculated that the Lin Family might be the cause of the Soul Formation Dao Lord Tribulation.

But now, it seemed Mu Shang's choice was remarkably foresighted. He had almost single-handedly pulled the Nine Peaks Origin Mountain back from the brink of destruction. Thinking about this, Lian Chengyue felt lingering fear.
