Chapter 262: Heaven Blesses the Lin Family

Lin Fandao chuckled twice and said proudly to the Clan Leader, "Clan Leader, there are some invisible little creatures around us; see if you can use your Divine Ability to find them!"

The Clan Leader somewhat understood; surely something good had happened for Eleven to play such a joke on him, and he too wanted to see what exactly these things were! Smiling broadly without speaking, he directly used his Divine Sense to search around the grandfather and grandson, yet after sweeping several times, he found nothing.

Subsequently, his expression turned serious; expanding the range still yielded no results, and finally, sweeping his Divine Sense through the entire room several times still brought no success! "Eleven, what trick are you two playing? There is nothing in this room!" the Clan Leader said, his face full of confusion.

Hearing the Clan Leader say there was nothing in the room, Lin Zhangqing was overjoyed! Needless to say, the Clan Leader's Divine Sense had certainly reached the Second Stage limit; if even he could not find them, others certainly could not, and this time Lin Zhangqing was so happy he could not close his mouth!

His grandfather was also exceedingly proud and said to Lin Zhangqing, "Qing'er, let them all reveal themselves! Otherwise, the Clan Leader might think we grandfather and grandson are tricking him!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded with a smile, and with a thought, ten Purple Crystal Scorpions arranged themselves in a neat row before him, then simultaneously dispelled their Invisibility Technique.

The sudden simultaneous appearance of the ten Purple Crystal Scorpions truly gave the Clan Leader a severe shock! Subsequently, as if gaining some realization, the Clan Leader immediately focused his mind to observe these suddenly appearing Second-Stage Spirit Insects!

No, these were all Second-Stage Spirit Insects; First-Stage Spirit Insects absolutely could not escape his Divine Sense search, and only Second-Stage Spirit Insects possessing special abilities could possibly evade his top-tier Second-Stage Divine Sense search.

Overjoyed at heart, he hurriedly asked, "These Second-Stage Spirit Insects should be Qing'er's former Spirit Scorpions, correct? Have they all now broken through to the Second Stage? Besides invisibility, what other abilities do they possess?"

"Yes, Clan Leader, they are indeed the former Spirit Scorpions, though only these ten have broken through to the Second Stage; the others remain in the First Stage state.

After breaking through, they also awakened an Innate Spell named Purple Light Ray, which appears to be a long-range attack belonging to a mix of the Soul System and the Light System.

We already tested it earlier at Aoyun Peak; at a distance of about thirty zhang, it can pierce through stone two chi thick, and at about one hundred zhang, piercing through stone one chi thick is no problem! We did not test further distances! But I believe that even at distances of one hundred fifty zhang, or even two hundred zhang, they can inflict fatal damage on Qi Refining Cultivators!

Moreover, this is only just after their breakthrough; I believe the power of the Purple Light Ray will become even greater in the future!" Lin Zhangqing introduced seriously.

This time, the Clan Leader truly showed his joy in his expression; he stood up and said to Lin Zhangqing and the other, "Let's go try out the power of these little ones' Purple Light Ray again!

Only when I have a rough idea in my mind will I know how to arrange matters going forward!"

Subsequently, the Clan Leader led the grandfather and grandson to a relatively spacious area; watching the Spirit Insects flying and shuttling around Lin Zhangqing, he truly liked them more and more the longer he looked.

He said to Lin Zhangqing, "This is a distance of one hundred twenty zhang; have the little ones shoot at that protruding large rock."

Lin Zhangqing nodded, and with a thought, ten beams of purple light shot forth, and subsequently, ten small holes appeared on that protruding large rock.

Because one hundred twenty zhang had exceeded Lin Zhangqing's Divine Sense range, he did not know how deep the holes created by the Purple Light Ray were.

However, the Clan Leader and his grandfather looked extremely excited, obviously having already detected the depth with their Divine Sense!

Lin Zhangqing could not help but ask, "Clan Leader, Grandfather, exactly how deep are the holes?"

His grandfather said with a face full of smiles, "The little ones are quite formidable; the holes are slightly more than eight cun deep!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded; this depth was about what he had estimated in his mind.

Next, they tested distances of one hundred zhang, eighty zhang, sixty zhang, forty zhang, and so on; the data obtained made both of them extremely excited.

The Clan Leader spoke with even greater excitement: "The Second-Stage defensive Spell, Stone Shield Technique, even when cultivated to Great Perfection, is only one chi thick. Calculating based on this power, within one hundred zhang, a single strike of the Purple Light Ray can break through the shields of ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the first or second layer.

If ambushing an unguarded Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the effect would absolutely be instantly fatal! As for Qi Refining stage, there is no need to mention it; within two hundred zhang, it is fatal to them!

In other words, the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators present here now can no longer defeat these ten little creatures!"

By the end of his words, the Clan Leader and his grandfather were so excited they could not control themselves; especially the Clan Leader, who could not help but keep repeating, "Heaven blesses my Lin family! Heaven blesses my Lin family!"

After quite a while, the Clan Leader calmed his emotions and said to Lin Zhangqing with a serious expression, "Little Qing, for the sake of the clan, you must succeed in your Foundation Establishment no matter what!"

Lin Zhangqing understood the Clan Leader's meaning and hurriedly promised, "Clan Leader, please rest assured! My Foundation Establishment is no problem; when the time comes, I will naturally achieve Foundation Establishment!"

At this moment, his grandfather also spoke up: "Clan Leader, rest assured; Little Qing is still very steady. If he says Foundation Establishment is no problem, then it certainly is no problem! Let us concern ourselves with these little ones instead! Should we test their flying speed again?"

The Clan Leader nodded and said, "Correct, flying speed is also very important; Little Qing, have one Spirit Scorpion chase me so I can see how fast they are!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded, and with a thought, one Purple Crystal Scorpion flew toward the Clan Leader at full speed, and then one golden and one purple sword light began flying at high speed around the Main Peak.

The purple light always chased behind the golden light, maintaining a distance of several tens of zhang; after flying for a while, the golden light descended beside the grandfather and grandson, and the Clan Leader's figure appeared in place.

Then the purple light also returned to Lin Zhangqing's side, flew around him several times, and finally landed on his hand.

"Formidable! Formidable! Its speed is quite fast, at least faster than a normal Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivator and slightly slower than a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator; I was controlling my speed just now, keeping a distance of several tens of zhang from it. However, with only one or two Spirit Scorpions, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator might still escape! But if four or five cooperate and fire Purple Light Rays, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator will surely die, unless they have cultivated speed-type Secret Arts, in which case they might possibly escape alive from under their hands!"

Hearing the Clan Leader speak this way, Lin Zhangqing was especially happy, because the Clan Leader's assessment was far more accurate than his own.

Upon hearing the Clan Leader's words, his grandfather was even more extremely excited and could not help but ask the Clan Leader, "This is wonderful! Does this mean we now have the capability to deal with those two families?"

The Clan Leader nodded and said, "Let us discuss this matter after we return! This is not the place for such talk!"

The grandfather and grandson nodded, and subsequently, the three of them returned together to the place where the Clan Leader was in Closed-Door Cultivation; after entering, the Clan Leader specifically added a layer of Restriction to the door.

"Little Qing, come here and sit beside me," the Clan Leader said with a beaming smile.

Lin Zhangqing had no choice but to go over and sit where the Clan Leader indicated; he knew this was a manifestation of the Clan Leader's happiness.

After sitting down, the Clan Leader looked Lin Zhangqing up and down with a smiling face and sighed, "Little Qing, you are truly my Lin family's Kirin Child; in eight generations, only one such person as you has emerged. Apart from the Great Ancestor, you should be the most outstanding Cultivator the Lin family has ever produced!"

Hearing the Clan Leader give such a high evaluation, Lin Zhangqing felt somewhat embarrassed, and his face felt hot!

He hurriedly spoke up: "No, no; your grandson merely benefits from having this group of Spirit Insects; in truth, I am not nearly as good as the Clan Leader says, and I certainly do not deserve the evaluation the Clan Leader just gave!"

The Clan Leader chuckled lightly: "Enough, do not belittle yourself; I understand very clearly in my heart that even if one day, we old Foundation Establishment fellows are all dead and gone, leaving only you, you will still be able to guard the Lin family well. On this point, I have no doubt whatsoever!" Lin Zhangqing gave a dry laugh, not knowing how to respond.
