Chapter 411: Memories of the Past
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Back then, Lin Qingtian was not like now. He did not have a head of white hair and was not called ancestor by everyone.
At that time, he was young and in high spirits. He wanted to rely on his sword to roam the entire cultivation world, but he was forced by the Lin Family Head at that time and could not move.
Now, the family head of that year had already passed away, and the current family head of the Lin family could not control him.
He pondered for a moment and said to Lin Xuan, “It’s not impossible!”
Lin Xuan jumped up excitedly, “Ancestor, you agree?”
“Lagree, but Xuan‘er, you have to agree to a few of my requests.”
Lin Xuan hurriedly nodded, “What request? Just tell me.”
“Firstly, we don’t have much time. We’ll pass by on the way. If you can enter, go in. If you can’t, don’t waste time there.”
Lin Xuan nodded, “Sure. If trying doesn’t work, I’ll withdraw.”
“Second, after you enter, you have to follow me. You have to listen to what I say. I want you to go east. You can’t go west.”
Lin Xuan nodded, “After entering the mystic realm, I will definitely obey the ancestor and definitely not act on my own.”
When Lin Qingtian heard Lin Xuan’s promise, he nodded and decided on this trip.
“The place is not far. We’ll probably reach tomorrow. Rest early today to recuperate.”
Early the next morning, Lin Xuan came out of his room. He looked down from the observation platform on the deck.
Lin Xuan did not know where the spirit ship was, but he was certain that this place was probably very far from the Lin family.
The area where the Lin family was located was filled with tall mountains and hills. Looking down, there was an endless grassland.
Lush grass covered the ground. The fog in the morning made this green color seem a little ethereal, as if it was in another world.
Lin Xuan sat on the high platform. He closed his eyes and meditated quietly.
Mist arose around his body, and a faint golden light surrounded him.
Spiritual qi flowed in his meridians. At this moment, it was as if there was a ball of fire in his body that burned brighter and brighter, as if it would burn him to ashes in the next moment.
At this moment, the surrounding spiritual qi seemed to have been swept into a vortex and was spinning crazily before being swallowed. Golden light flickered and felt increasingly bright.
Suddenly, the aura around Lin Xuan changed. A sharp wind blew past his body, and a dragon roar resounded in his ears.
Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and discovered that Ancestor Qingtian was standing behind him at some point.
He hurriedly stood up and bowed to Lin Qingtian, “Ancestor.”
Lin Qingtian looked at Lin Xuan with a worried expression, “Xuan’er, do you feel fine? How long has your condition been like this?”
“I saw that you were cultivating and vaguely felt anxious, but your cultivation hasn’t been smooth recently?”
Lin Xuan nodded, “It has been a while. I thought it was normal and did not take it seriously. Ancestor, is it important?”
Lin Qingtian’s expression was a little worried. He looked at Lin Xuan and said, “Why don’t we not go today? I’ll get someone to send Xiaolong’s spiritual fruit.”
“Although a hundred-year-old spiritual fruit is difficult to find, with our Lin family’s current strength, it’s not impossible.”
Lin Xuan did not want to stay on the spirit ship forever. Not to mention how boring it was on the ship, the dragon baby really needed to be released.
He hurriedly said to the ancestor, “I’m really fine!”
Lin Xuan wished he could show his true strength to the ancestor on the spot.
“Recently, my cultivation might have been too rushed, causing my spiritual qi to be a little chaotic.”
Lin Xuan assured Lin Qingtian, “I will definitely not do this next. I will definitely cultivate in peace and not be anxious for success.”
Lin Xuan had been a prodigy since he was born. Even he was unable to compare to him. He had absolute confidence in himself.
However, when it came to cultivation, the consequences of a mistake were unimaginable.
He said earnestly, “Chaotic spiritual qi is not a small matter. Many geniuses in the world are destroyed because they are anxious to succeed.”
“The chaos of spiritual qi causes one’s mental state to be unstable. Similarly, if the foundation is not stable, how can one build tall buildings?”
In terms of cultivation, it had always been the people around Lin Xuan who benefited from him. No one was qualified to point fingers at Lin Xuan, not even Lin Qingtian himself.
However, Lin Qingtian had cultivated for a thousand years after all. His talent was not like Lin Xuan, and his opportunities were not like Lin Xuan. However, he had seen more people than he did now.
This morning, when he saw Lin Xuan circulating his spiritual qi while cultivating, he felt that something was wrong. This was definitely not a normal state.
Lin Xuan himself knew that in this period of time, his cultivation state was a little off as he was anxious for success.
He bowed respectfully to Lin Qingtian and said, “Xuan’er will remember ancestor’s teachings!”
In the distance, the sun had already risen into the sky. The ethereal fog had already dissipated, and the entire grassland was visible.
A breeze blew gently. The thin grass and flowers on the ground fluttered in the wind. He lay on the wooden railing of the observation platform and lowered his head to watch the green color on the ground quickly float past.
Sometimes, one or two things that were as white as rabbits leaped across the grass.
However, looking carefully, this thing did not look like a rabbit. After all, they did not have the long ears of a rabbit.
Just as Lin Xuan was puzzled, a shadow landed beside him.
“Xuan’er, what are you looking at?”
Lin Bao looked down with Lin Xuan’s gaze and saw a few scattered white creatures.
He let out a long sigh and said to Lin Xuan, “You like these?”
“This is a spiritual beast unique to the Parker Grassland. It’s called the white shell. When there’s no danger, it’s white. If it’s frightened, it’ll immediately become the same color as its surroundings.”
“Look carefully!”
When Lin Xuan heard this, he looked down in confusion.
However, he only saw a white shell and not a green one!
Lin Bao, who was beside him, saw that Lin Xuan still had a puzzled expression. He continued, “The moment the white shell is frightened, it will suddenly jump, creating an illusion that makes you think it has jumped away.”
“However, it actually turned green in an instant. Ordinary cultivators could not discover it at all. Even cultivators above the Golden Core realm would have some difficulty discovering its changes.”
Lin Xuan said confidently, “I can definitely see it!”
“Innate Divine Eye!”
A golden crack instantly opened in Lin Xuan’s eyes. Supreme Being Dual-Pupils, Innate Divine Eye.
Under the gaze of the divine and eye, the vast grassland below was all in Lin Xuan’s eyes, unable to be hidden.
When the white shell on this grassland was shocked, it would indeed instantly tum green. This was a natural spiritual technique.
