"We've arrived at the ancestral hall!"
In the next moment, Clan Leader Lin Yushan brought Lin Buzheng to a stop outside the ancestral hall.
The Lin family's ancestral hall was built with tens of thousands of boulders.
It was dozens of feet tall and over a hundred feet in length and width. It had a rough style and a majestic aura.
It was like a stone mountain that rose from the ground.
A pair of stone gates that were at least thirty feet wide faced the square outside the clan's ancestral hall that was a thousand feet in circumference.
A skinny old man sat on a stone chair in front of the stone doors.
His face was filled with wrinkles and age spots, as though he would die in his sleep at the next moment.
"Junior Lin Yushan pays his respects to the Grand Elder!"
Clan Leader Lin Yushan walked forward and bowed respectfully with a humble expression, without the pride of a Clan Leader.
"Junior Lin Buzheng pays his respects to the Clan Leader!"
Lin Buzheng bowed to the old man as well.
"The new generation surpasses the old. Another genius of the family has shown his talents. Not bad!"
The old man opened his sleepy eyes and sized up Lin Buzheng before waving his hand, gesturing for the two of them to pass.
Although the old man was skinny and shriveled, as though he would die at the next moment, Lin Buzheng could sense an incomparably terrifying power lurking within the old man's body.
Once it was unleashed, even Clan Leader Lin Yushan who was at Level Nine Qi Dao would not be a match for Lin Buzheng!
Rumble!
In the next moment, Clan Leader Lin Buzheng pushed open a pair of stone doors that weighed at least a thousand kilograms.
The Lin family's ancestral hall was incomparably quiet.
White jade tablets were placed quietly on a wooden table made of hundred-year-old sandalwood.
As far as the eye could see, there were at least three thousand tablets in the huge ancestral hall.
Each spirit tablet represented an expert of the Lin Clan who had made outstanding contributions in the history of the Lin Clan.
Below the tablets was an incomparably wide scroll of the Lin family's genealogy.
The genealogy above was gently rolled up, representing the ancestors who had passed away.
The family tree below was blank. It was also rolled up, representing the brand new future of the Lin family.
The only thing that remained was the family tree in the middle of the room. It was covered with countless names and branches.
Together, they formed the Lin family of this world.
Lin Buzheng followed Lin Yushan, the chief of the clan, to the grand ancestral hall. For the first time, he felt the grandeur of the clan, and the insignificance of an individual.
It was this Lin family that had been passed down for thousands of years that gave birth to generations of Lin Buzheng's ancestors and even raised Lin Buzheng.
In the near future, when Lin Buzheng grew into an unparalleled expert, he would also turn around and protect this clan, ensuring that it would prosper for a long time.
"Father's name and mine are on the family tree, but Mother's name is not …"
Lin Buzheng's eyes swept across the family tree, and he saw his own name and his father's name on it.
However, the position of Lin Shanyue's wife, Lin Buzheng's mother, was completely blank. There was no name.
The reason for this was not because the Lin family did not want to enter it, but because the higher ups of the Lin family did not know who Lin Shanyue's wife was.
Lin Buzheng's eyes dimmed.
His mind couldn't help but think of the beautiful woman in the painting in his father's bedroom.
Could that woman be the mother that he had never met?
"Follow me."
Lin Yushan walked slowly in front, leading the way for Lin Buzheng. He did not notice the change in his emotions.
In the middle of the ancestral hall, there was a jade pillar that rose from the ground.
It was dozens of feet high, and it firmly supported the top of the ancestral hall.
The surface of the jade pillar shone with a gentle luster like moonlight. Most of the area was blank.
Only at the very top, tens of thousands of martial path true qi burst forth, forming a name.
Behind the name, there was a small line of words that briefly introduced the person's life.
"Lin Huang, born with great strength and infinite strength. He broke through to the Qi Path Realm at the age of fifteen, the Spirit Path Realm at the age of thirty, and the Fifth Heaven of Spirit Path at the age of fifty. He killed a Rank Five demonic beast, the Heaven Devouring Demon Python, in ten moves, and founded the Lin family by himself! "
"Lin Feifei, born with the Divine Powers of the Willow God's Eyes. He broke through to the Qi Path Realm at the age of fourteen. He found the Rootless Wood and entered the Spirit Path Realm at the age of twenty. At the age of thirty, he defeated the Beast Tide by himself and killed the leader of the Beast Tide, a Rank Six demonic beast, the Six-Winged Demon Messenger, and saved the Lin family and nearly a thousand disciples!"
Above the jade pillar, there were many names.
The higher the name, the more terrifying their achievements were.
"Lin Shanyue, broke through to the Qi Path Realm at the age of fourteen, and killed a Rank Two demonic beast, the Three-Legged Demon Toad. At the age of eighteen, he broke through to the Spirit Path Realm and killed a powerful enemy of the Lin family, the Poison Cultivator, who was at the Third Step of Spirit Path."
"At the age of twenty-two, he became angry because of a beauty and caused havoc in the house of the Princess of Changqing. No one could defeat him. In the end, the Elder of the family, who was at the peak of the Spirit Path Realm, appeared and suppressed him."
"At the age of twenty-three, he defeated the Third Prince of the Xuan Kingdom and gained the admiration of the Princess of the Fire Nation."
"At the age of twenty-four, he defeated a strong man at the peak of the Spirit Path Realm and was a sword maniac. He walked out of the Xuan Kingdom and disappeared."
Lin Buzheng saw his father's name again on the jade pillar.
He was in the third row of the jade pillar, just below the other two.
However, Lin Shanyue's cultivation speed was extremely terrifying. Even the geniuses of the top two families could not surpass him.
What he had done in his life was as dazzling and bright as the stars. It made people admire him and feel emotional.
"Brother Shanyue was the most dazzling martial arts genius of the Lin family since it was established."
"Unfortunately, ten years ago, his martial arts cultivation was destroyed for some unknown reason. He brought you, who was still a baby, back to the family. He even refused to tell us who your mother was all these years …"
The leader of the family, Lin Yushan, also raised his head and looked at the top of the jade pillar. He could not help but sigh.
"Speaking of which, today, your name will be recorded in the ancestral hall of the family. Brother Shanyue should be there to witness it."
"It's a pity that Brother Shanyue left the family some time ago and has not returned until now."
"Bu Zheng, record your name on the jade pillar."
After a while, Lin Yushan came back to his senses and nodded at Lin Buzheng.
The process of a martial artist recording his name on the jade pillar was very simple.
As long as he pressed his palm on the jade pillar and released his Martial True Qi, he would be able to leave his name on the jade pillar.
Pak!
Lin Buzheng stretched out his palm and pressed it on the jade pillar. It was warm to the touch.
Rumble!
Then, the dark blue Martial True Qi in his body flowed into the jade pillar. Instantly, the entire jade pillar was dyed dark blue.
Buzz!
After a few breaths, the dark blue light in the jade pillar disappeared.
Lin Buzheng's name appeared at the bottom of the row of names.
Lin Buzheng calmly withdrew his right hand.
The ranking was only temporary.
As Lin Buzheng's cultivation broke through and his contribution to the family increased, his ranking on the jade pillar would increase.
"Bu Zheng, your name has been recorded in the ancestral hall of the family."
"According to the usual practice, you can take this qi path cultivation technique."
"As for the other rewards, I will personally accompany you to collect them!"
Patter!
Before Patriarch Lin Yushan's voice faded away, he took out a small booklet from his pocket and handed it to Lin Buzheng.
On the cover of the booklet, the words' Qi Path General Principles' were written.
"Thank you, leader!"
Lin Buzheng was excited as he took the booklet.
