Chapter 315: Discussion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Bao and Lin Tianya looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Lin Xuan.
Although the Lin family’s strength had increased greatly, there were still a few large factions in the entire Northern Azure Continent who could resist the Lin family. If they really fought, even the Lin family would have a headache.
Aside from other factors, the Ascension Immortal Dynasty alone was a great enemy.
Although Lin Xuan was young, his ambition… was unimaginable.
The Lin family’s ancestor’s eyes turned deep as he did not speak for a long time. He had too many things to consider.
“This matter concerns the future of the Lin family. I can’t make the decision alone.”
When Lin Xuan heard this, he was anxious. Immediately after, the Lin family’s ancestor spoke again.
“We will convene a family meeting. All Golden Core Ancestors must participate. Other than those who hold important positions, Purple Prefecture Realm elders must participate as well!”
The ancestor’s voice spread throughout the Lin family. The experts at the Purple Prefecture Realm and above put down the things in their hands and headed to the Lin family’s forbidden area. Their faces revealed puzzled expressions.
The Lin family’s forbidden area had always been only accessible to family heads and ancestors. The family meetings were all held in the main hall. What exactly happened this time to actually gather them all?
The matter they discussed this time was not trivial. If it was accidentally leaked, it would bring about a calamity to the Lin family. They had to keep it a secret.
At this moment, the place where the Lin family’s ancestor was in seclusion was filled with experts of the Lin family. They were discussing it and it was extremely noisy.
Immediately after, a group of old antiques of the Lin family appeared above with supreme pressure, making everyone quieten down.

The Lin family’s ancestor strode forward and sat above, his face filled with dignity.
“We must keep this family meeting a secret. If anyone dares to leak it, I’ll be the first to kill them!” The Lin family’s ancestor’s voice was like thunder as the aura on his body surged out like tidewater.
A suffocating feeling immediately enveloped many experts of the Lin family. However, it came and went quickly, and they quickly recovered.
“Ancestor, don’t worry. My Lin family disciples are united and loyal to the Lin family. This matter will definitely not happen in the Lin family!” The Lin family’s Great Elder bent his body slightly and said proudly.
The Lin family had never harmed each other because of benefits and secretly attacked each other. It was enough to witness the unity of the Lin family.
Instead, because they had sensed the aura of the Lin family’s ancestor, they were even more excited. They immediately felt their backs stiffen. With the Lin family’s ancestor’s strength becoming stronger, they would not lack confidence when walking outside.
“Good, this is how our Lin family should be!” The Lin family’s ancestor revealed a satisfied expression and entered a short silence.
The Lin family’s ancestor glanced at Lin Xuan, and he stood up and bowed to the experts of the Lin family. No matter how strong he was, the basic etiquette had to be done.
“Disciple of the Lin family, Lin Xuan, greets all the uncles and elders.” Lin Xuan had a smile on his face and bowed humbly.
“Saint Child, there’s no need to be so polite. If not for you, how could old fellows like us have had so many breakthroughs!”
A direct blood-related elder of Lin Xuan smiled and said that he had been stuck at the fifth level of the Purple Prefecture realm for a hundred years and could not break through no matter what.
Ever since Lin Xuan was born, not only had he broken through to the fifth level of the Purple Prefecture, he had even stepped into the half-step Golden Core realm in one go. With a few more years, it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the Golden Core realm.
In the past, he would already be thankful to have broken through to the first level. Now, he saw an even wider martial world. All of this was thanks to Lin Xuan.
The other Lin family experts agreed.
Seeing the expressions of these elders, Lin Hao almost cursed in his heart.
‘Damn, when I called for the family meeting, you were not so cooperative.’
After living for so many years, he was not as influential as his newborn son. It immediately made him feel a deep sense of defeat.
Furthermore, his son was not laying low anymore.
On the other hand, Lin Xuan was stunned. He thought that he would have a verbal battle with the experts of the Lin family, but things were much simpler than he had imagined.
Lin Xuan said his thoughts. Their expressions were exactly the same as when the Lin family’s ancestor and the others heard it. They were simply carved from the same mold.
Chaotic times? Destroying the Ascension Immortal Dynasty?
They immediately felt their minds go blank. That was a colossus.
Everyone stood on the spot as if they were petrified. They wanted to speak but did not know what to say.
At this moment, the Lin family’s ancestor stood up, “You are all an indispensable part of the Lin family. Your opinions represent the Lin family’s will. You have the right to determine the size of everything in the family. Say whatever you want.”
“Why is a group of old men dawdling? I’ll express my opinion first. I agree!” Lin Bao, a warlike person, agreed.
“The Lin family is currently developing. Isn’t it a little too early to start an argument with a colossus like the Ascension Immortal Dynasty?” An elder felt that it would be beneficial to the Lin family to secretly develop for a few years.
“In the previous battle, the Ascension Immortal Dynasty only sent five experts. The Lin family used the entire clan to deal with them. If we really fight, the chances of winning are not high.”
“The enmity between the Lin family and the Ascension Immortal Dynasty has already been formed. A war is only a matter of time.”
The many elders of the Lin family had different opinions. It was not that they were afraid of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty, but from the fundamental benefits, it was suitable for them to hide for a few years before starting a war.
“What the elders say is reasonable. If this world has not changed, this development path is indeed suitable for the Lin family. Now that this world has changed, there’s not much time left for the Lin family.”
“Recently, many Purple Prefecture elders of the Lin family have successfully broken through to the Golden Core realm. They should have sensed the fluctuation caused by that moment, right?” Lin Xuan looked at the few elders who had just broken through.
A Lin family elder thought carefully.
The last time an elder of the Lin family broke through was hundreds of years ago. There was a high chance of attracting the lightning tribulation to stop cultivators from reaching the Golden Core realm. The thin spiritual qi increased the difficulty of cultivators condensing their Golden Core. The entire process would last for dozens of days, making peak Purple Prefecture Realm experts unwilling to take that step.
Among the ten experts, the probability of one successfully breaking through was very high.
However, now, the Universal Five Grains Painting that Lin Xuan set up in Great Yan City was one aspect, and it resolved the problem of the thin spiritual qi.
At the same time, when they broke through, that concept was even easier to comprehend. They completed the breakthrough in half a day, as if this world no longer had that binding power.
“That’s right!”
The leader of the Lin family’s elders said and agreed with Lin Xuan.
“The elder is right. The Lin family and the Ascension Immortal Dynasty have already formed an enmity. Could it be that if we hide, the Ascension Immortal Dynasty will not attack us?”
“The painting can circulate on its own, but how long can it last?”
“Instead of that, why don’t we take the initiative to attack?!”
Lin Xuan asked three times in a row and completely convinced these elders.
