Chapter 44: Everyone Breaks Through!

The younger generation of the Lin Family crowded onto the martial arena, chattering nonstop.

"Brother Lin Ya, you're often with the Clan Leader — do you know what surprise he mentioned?" a youth sidled up to Lin Ya and asked curiously.

Lin Ya was also participating in today's selection.

"I don't know."

Lin Ya gave a faint smile, his bearing revealing a steadiness unbecoming of his age.

After what happened at Thatched Cottage Mountain, Lin Ya had become much more reserved.

"Sister Lin Xuan, then do you know?" someone else turned to Lin Xuan, only to see her mouth stuffed with Void Spirit Pills, cheeks bulging, unable to speak.

In the end, everyone looked at Lin Yan, the Lin Family's only Alchemist.

But Lin Yan wore an expression that warned strangers to stay away.

Although his status had changed and the Clan Members no longer rejected him, treating him with great warmth instead, he himself had already become a reclusive sort.

"If the Clan Leader says there's a surprise, then it must be a surprise. Just wait at ease."

Lin Yan said calmly, his eyes slightly lowered, his heart also curious about the surprise.

The Clan Leader always liked to keep things hidden, but every time he brought something out, it made people's jaws drop.

At the same time, above the Lin Family's martial arena—

A white cloud drifted over, an old man seated cross-legged upon it.

The newcomer was none other than Qingyun Sect's Elder, the Gourd-Hanging Daoist!

A Wudao Realm powerhouse could already travel through the air, but this had an immense relation to one's own Cultivation.

A cultivator at Dao Comprehension Realm First Layer, even if able to fly through the air, could only maintain it for a moment.

To linger in the air for long, one's Cultivation had to be at least Wudao Realm Fifth Layer.

But this consumed a great deal of Spiritual Power; even the Gourd-Hanging Daoist found it hard to sustain for long.

What he sat upon now, that white cloud, was actually a Spirit Treasure.

"The Lin Family… is holding a selection for the Hundred Clans Assembly?"

The Gourd-Hanging Daoist looked down, having concealed his own aura.

Then his face filled with cold indifference, and he snorted: "Hmph! A mere Ziyun City Lin Family — they qualify to participate in the Hundred Clans Assembly?"

"Go ahead and select. Once you're done, I'll wipe you all out!"

The Gourd-Hanging Daoist schemed in his heart.

Just then, a brilliant Blue Rating light screen instantly shot skyward, directly enveloping even the Gourd-Hanging Daoist within it.

Over this vast region of the Lin Family, the blue light screen resembled half an eggshell, firmly covering the Lin Family.

"What's going on?"

The Gourd-Hanging Daoist was startled.

Could it be that the Lin Family people had discovered him?

But very quickly, an incomparably dense wave of Spirit Qi swept in, making everyone within the light screen feel utterly refreshed.

Even the Gourd-Hanging Daoist was dazzled, bathing in the Spirit Qi, feeling his whole body comfortable.

Even his Cultivation, long shackled, showed faint signs of loosening.

The Gourd-Hanging Daoist frowned slightly, but he quickly understood.

This was a Spirit Gathering Formation!

"What a powerful Spirit Gathering Formation — stronger than Qingyun Sect's!"

"Could this be… a Four-Star Spirit Gathering Formation?"

The Gourd-Hanging Daoist's face was full of astonishment, deeply shocked in his heart.

What right did a mere Lin Family have to possess such a formidable formation?

Living here, wouldn't every Lin Family member's Cultivation skyrocket?

On the martial arena, many Lin Family juniors felt this change.

They breathed in the Spirit Qi, their faces full of joy.

"Wow, what dense Spirit Qi!"

"When did our Lin Family gather so much Spirit Qi?"

"It seems to be something the Clan Leader set up…"

The many juniors buzzed with discussion.

Seeing this, Lin Feng, standing on the high platform, laughed heartily and addressed everyone: "You are all the future hope of our Lin Family. To aid your cultivation, the Elder has personally set up a Level Four Spirit Gathering Formation."

"From now on, every member of our Lin Family shall be like a dragon. You won't need to go to other sects, other Blessed Lands, to enjoy the purest Spirit Qi treatment!"

Lin Feng's words reached every person's ears.

Many wept with joy.

Their Lin Family needed to rely on no one — they themselves were worthy of others looking up to them!

"The Clan Leader is mighty!"

"The Elder is mighty!"

"The Lin Family is mighty!"

A wave of sound like mountains roaring and seas surging rose from the martial arena. Elder Lin Hai walked over in shame, his gaze toward Lin Feng exceedingly complex.

All of this was Lin Feng's doing, yet Lin Feng had claimed it as his own.

This moved Lin Hai all the more.

"Enough, let's proceed with the selection!"

Lin Feng waved his hand grandly — the Hundred Clans Assembly mattered more.

But at this moment, he saw the members of the Lin Family all sit down cross-legged one after another.

They closed their eyes tightly, feeling the dense Spirit Qi all around.

"Hahaha! Clan Leader, these youngsters are about to break through!"

"A fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Formation — its effect is too outstanding. They absorbed too much Spirit Qi in one go and broke through their own Cultivation bottlenecks." Lin Hai said with a face full of joy.

Just then, a Spirit Qi Light Pillar chose Lin Feng.

No one else could see it.

The Spirit Qi Light Pillar poured forth endless Spirit Qi, like an inverted waterfall, pouring down from above.

Lin Feng's whole body trembled, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"It's coming!"

As long as the Clan Members' Cultivation improved, then the sum total of the whole clan's Cultivation would be Lin Feng's Cultivation.

Now that the Clan Members had all gained some enlightenment and each began breaking through their bottlenecks, Lin Feng's Cultivation naturally rose with the tide.

Enlightenment Realm Fifth Layer!

Sixth Layer of Dao Comprehension Realm!

The Spirit Qi Light Pillar caused Lin Feng's Cultivation to break through one after another, finally pausing just as he was about to break through to Enlightenment Realm Seventh Layer.

"What a pity…"

Lin Feng smiled helplessly. The Clan Members' growth speed was still not fast enough, so he was now also stuck at the Sixth Layer of Dao Comprehension Realm.

But being able to improve was already very exciting.

Facing all of this, the Suspended Gourd Daoist in the air was completely dumbfounded. He opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

"A fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Formation — is that something the Lin Family should have?"

A chill ran down the Suspended Gourd Daoist's spine. He had still been planning to wipe out the Lin Family first, but now this situation made him realize something was very wrong.

"Could the Lin Family… be some hidden ancient clan?"

Once that guess arose in his heart, the Suspended Gourd Daoist could no longer make up his mind to deal with the Lin Family. Looking at the situation, he decided to observe a while longer.

At the same time, the younger generation on the martial arts field stood up.

"Clan Leader, let's begin the selection!" Lin Hai said with a smile.

The Spirit Qi from earlier had also benefited him immensely; he was about to enter the Wudao Realm.

"No rush." Lin Feng smiled.

"I still have one more surprise. Do you want to know what it is?" Lin Feng curved his lips and said to the many Lin Family clansmen below.

"Another surprise?"

Lin Ya, Lin Xuan, Lin Yan and the others were all stunned. What kind of good day was today?

So many surprises had nearly shocked the Lin Family members numb.

"I have here a martial technique and a cultivation method. Their grades aren't high, only four or five stars. I have no use for them anyway, so from now on they're all yours to cultivate freely."

Lin Feng took out the system Reward five-star martial technique Golden Light Mantra and four-star cultivation method Huntuangong.

At this moment, the Suspended Gourd Daoist high above the heavens trembled all over in shock, and his Spirit Qi leaked out uncontrollably.
