Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan
Chapter 76-77: Breaking Through Within a Month

After arriving in the sky above Baoshan Prefecture, Lin Xuan began to leisurely stroll. He had to remember that he would be the future master of Baoshan Prefecture.

If he were to display his true power now, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Boundless Profound Realm.

This was a Fourth Rank Profound Realm that drifted from the depths of the void to Baoshan Prefecture after the heavenly tribulation.

At this moment, outside the secret realm, disciples of the Hidden Sect and the Sea Emperor Palace looked up at Lin Xuan's figure in the sky. Their gaze was filled with concern.

"Do you really think the sect's decision is a good one?"

A Golden Core elder from the Mo Yin Sect asked with concern. He was also a Golden Core cultivator, but his intuition told him that in front of the Lin family's Ancestor, he was no different from an ant.

Although Lin Xuan was so far away, the pressure he exerted on him was no weaker than that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm. It might even be stronger. There was a brief moment when he even doubted if Lin Xuan was really a Golden Core cultivator.

"Haha, is the Mo Yin Sect afraid?"

Beside him, a person from the Sea Emperor Palace in blue mocked Lin Xuan. "It's just a White Snake; don't be deceived by its size. In our Northern Sea State, there are sea beasts even bigger than this snake. In the end, our palace lord skinned it and stored it in our treasury. Regardless of how big it is, for our palace lord, it's just a Golden Core Realm ant."

"Yes, Elder Feng, rest assured, we have three Nascent Soul cultivators in our sect. Even if the Lin family's Ancestor does have Nascent Soul Realm power, the Mo Yin Sect won't be afraid."

"Is the sect really going to give up on this Fourth Rank secret realm that brings in big profits every day? According to the sect's estimate, once this secret realm is completely developed, we will gain many benefits. The sect believes that in a hundred years, there will still be ten chances for Golden Core elders to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Elder Feng, you are one of the few Golden Core peak cultivators in the Mo Yin Sect. You will undoubtedly be one of those ten."

A beautiful woman beside Elder Feng advised. She was also a Golden Core elder from the Mo Yin Sect but was still in the early stage. She usually stood on Elder Feng's side.

However, if she did same now, she had no chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage herself. Thus, her enthusiasm for opening the Endless Profound Realm was even stronger than Feng Wuheng's.

Feng Wuheng opened his mouth and looked at everyone. In the end, he shook his head and didn't say anything more. His intuition told him that ignoring the Ancestral Temple's command and taking advantage of the situation wouldn't lead to a good outcome.

But the entire Mo Yin Sect, including the people from the Sea Emperor Palace, had already been blinded by the vast resources of the Endless Secret Realm. Their eyes were filled with greed and desire. How could they see any danger?

Furthermore, it wasn't just a Fourth Rank secret realm; there was also a Fifth Rank secret realm. The entire Baoshan Prefecture was full of adventures. For disciples of the two sects, this was an additional opportunity.

Nine Third Rank secret realms were allocated to four disciples from the two major sects. The Beastmaster Hall of the Desolate Continent occupied a Fourth Rank spirit vein near the Monster Mountain Range.

On the newly formed spirit vein, there were many spirit herbs and rare resources. There were even rumors that a natural spirit beast had been born on that spirit vein. For a beast-taming sect like the Beastmaster Hall, the allure was undoubtedly fatal.

In addition to these, the Beastmaster Hall occupied three of the nine Third Rank secret realms. The remaining two were given to the five major Nascent Soul forces to cultivate together. With this, the three major sects tacitly completed the distribution of resources. Besides dividing the top resources, the three Nascent Soul forces also signed an alliance contract. This was to face the Lin family's retaliation in the future.

As for the Ancestral Temple, the major sects had also considered it. First, giving up the most abundant resources of the Baolin Mountain Range meant they had not violated the Ancestral Temple's command.

Second, for Nascent Soul sects like them, they were no different from ants in the eyes of the Ancestral Temple. Even if the Lin family couldn't handle it and reported it, the Ancestral Temple probably wouldn't be alarmed. They would just let the divine demon envoys of the Luo Shen Dao deal with it.

The three major sects were not entirely unrelated to the Luo Shen Dao. In fact, every Nascent Soul sect of the Luo Shen Dao had some connection with the two Soul Formation Dao Lords of the Luo Shen Dao.

Finally, if it really comes to a point of no return, they will have to give up eighty percent of the resources obtained by the three major sects to the people behind them. Such vast resources would even tempt a Soul Formation cultivator.

They don't believe that the Lord of the Luo Shen Dao will give up their immediate benefits to help an undeveloped Lin family. In their view, the Lin family just had the luck to coincide with the major changes in the Ancestral Temple. Becoming a Nascent Soul force is already the limit for the Lin family.

The Lin family is like the peak of the Demon Resistance Hall in the Nascent Soul stage, dispensable. The choice between immense benefits and the Lin family is already clear.

It can only be said that the plan of the three major Nascent Soul forces is perfect. However, they have encountered the Lin family and Lin Xuan!

"I can't see the origin of this snake."

Within a small secret realm, Dao Lord Xi Ti looked at Lin Xuan in the sky over Baoshan Prefecture through the spatial rift of the secret realm. Hearing this, the Sea Emperor sneered in the spatial rift. He thought that Dao Lord Xi Ti, a human Soul Formation cultivator, was making a fuss because he was no better than his useless disciples.

That was just a small Baoshan Prefecture. What kind of creature couldn't he see through?

Thinking this, he extended his divine sense and looked at the sky over Baoshan Prefecture through the secret realm's space.

"!"

Emperor Lu was surprised. Then he looked very interesting.

"It is indeed interesting. Although there is a spatial tunnel in between, I think even in the Nascent Soul stage, there is nothing I can't see through. But I can't see through the background of this snake, and I can't even see his cultivation.

"But his methods cannot deceive this Emperor," said the Emperor. "One of the most powerful special abilities in ancient times: Incarnation of the Laws of Heaven and Earth! In addition, he also possesses the bloodline aura of one of the ten Divine Beasts of the Monster Realm, the Swallowing Heaven Divine Python.

"If it weren't for having the corpse of a Swallowing Heaven Divine Python Crossing Tribulation cultivator in my hands, I might not be able to see through his bloodline aura…"

Dao Lord Xi Ti was stunned. If he couldn't see through, it would be fine. But even Emperor Lu couldn't see through. It seemed that this snake was indeed extraordinary.

"Do you think he will affect our plans in any way?"

"Haha, rest assured, although I can't see through him, even if he endures, he is just a Nascent Soul Monster Snake. How will he affect our plans? When my clan's Unity Realm Divine Lords arrive, I will let them capture this Snake. I want to see how this Snake avoids my perception."

After hearing this, Dao Lord Xi Ti didn't say much. He withdrew his gaze and stared at the space rift emitting a dense black aura, saying:

"Soon, very soon, in another month, the Unity Realm Divine Army will truly descend here."

In the sky, Lin Xuan suddenly stopped. He looked down at a mountain range hundreds of miles away. It was a branch of the Monster Mountain Range in Baoshan Prefecture. At a glance, apart from a dozen or so Foundation Establishment Realm demon beasts, the only thing worth noting was probably a Nascent Soul Realm demon beast that had just broken through using the Heavenly Tribulation. The entire mountain range was labeled as 'ordinary.'

Lin Xuan frowned as he looked. He seemed to have not noticed anything, so he withdrew his gaze. His expression seemed calm, but his heart was anything but calm. Because just now, Lin Xuan's mind had sounded two consecutive system notifications.

[Ding! Host, a sinister Soul Formation Dao Lord is peering at the host with ill intentions. Please be careful.]

As soon as this voice sounded, the second system notification followed.

[Ding! Host, please be careful. A being with far greater strength than the host's current power is peering at the host. Please be cautious.]

If Lin Xuan had disregarded the first notification, the second one made his heart jump. Lin Xuan, although only at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, if he exerted his full strength, he was confident in facing Nascent Soul Realm, or even Soul Formation Dao Lords. Moreover, he still had an ace up his sleeve that he hadn't used.

The second family protection technique rewarded by the system temporarily increased Lin Xuan's strength by three major realms. This was enough to make him fearless against any cultivator weaker than him. If he wished, he could forcefully break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, System said that: This is beyond his range of capabilities.

Lin Xuan pondered, "Is it a Grand Ascension Realm Ancestor Lord, or a Crossing Tribulation Realm cultivator?" However, as the distance from the mountain range expanded, his pace did not slow down at all.

"No, I must quickly enhance my strength. I've been invincible lately, so I've been slacking off. Swallowing Rainbow Maiden and breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm is the most important thing. In addition, I need to quickly occupy Baoshan Prefecture, so that the Lin family fulfills the conditions to become a Golden Core family. The rewards the system has given me should not be like this!"

Stimulated by the system's warning and the enormous unknown danger, Lin Xuan set ambitious goals.

"Within a month, I must break through to the Soul Formation Realm!"
