Inside the Lin Family's main hall.
The elders were all beaming, their complexions full and vibrant.
They had suppressed their realms for many years.
Now, after breaking through all at once, they felt refreshed and invigorated.
"Old Eighth, you're not cutting it. I'm already at Martial Immortal fourth layer, and you're only third?"
The Sixth Elder teased, full of smugness.
"You just cultivated a few years longer than me, what's there to show off about?"
"I'll be stronger than you sooner or later."
The Eighth Elder gritted his teeth in annoyance.
In just half a day, this guy had already mocked him more than twenty times.
If it weren't for his mother giving birth to him a few years earlier, who knew whose cultivation would be higher!
The others watched the two brothers bickering and chuckled inwardly.
The Second Elder, Lin Dong, sighed.
"I truly envy you all."
"You can still compete when you're at the Martial Immortal fourth layer."
"Unlike me, standing alone at the Martial Immortal ninth layer. Even Big Brother isn't as strong as me."
Everyone: "..."
Breaking through nine realms in a single day.
Poetry is mine to devour!
Everyone knew his talent was monstrous, but this monstrous?!
Lin Tao also walked out of the hall.
He cleared his throat, inadvertently revealing his cultivation.
"Holy crap, Big Brother, you..."
"How are you also at the Martial Immortal ninth layer?"
"Are you even letting us live!"
The Eighth Elder wailed.
He had thought that after accumulating enough, once he broke through to the Martial Immortal realm, he wouldn't be the weakest among them all. But he never expected, that these older brothers of his were all more outrageous than the last.
The most infuriating was Sixth Brother!
He was only slightly stronger than him, yet acted so smug!
Lin Tao raised his hand and pressed it against the void.
"Low profile."
"I don't want to be this strong either."
His humblebrag of a statement made his brothers roll their eyes.
"Can we challenge the Su Family now?"
Someone had been itching to ask for a while. Seeing everyone break through, they quickly inquired.
Lin Tao heard this and fell silent for a moment.
Finally, he shook his head.
"No."
"In the Martial Immortal realm, one might be considered a significant figure under normal circumstances."
"But the Su Family has deep foundations. I tried to probe them secretly last night."
"Before my Spiritual Sense could even enter the Su Family's mansion, it was shattered by an extremely powerful pressure."
His brothers were shocked.
Lin Tao was already at the Martial Immortal ninth layer.
Someone stronger than him...
could only be in the Martial God realm, or even the True Immortal realm!
"If that's the case, the Lin Family indeed needs to bide our time for a while longer."
"We've suppressed our realms for thousands of years, and we're still far from our limits."
Second Elder Lin Dong spoke in a deep voice, signaling his brothers to remain calm.
"Conserve our strength?"
"How can we conserve it when we haven't had any cultivation resources for a thousand years!"
Eighth Elder immediately became displeased, grumbling.
"We're alright, we're all old anyway."
"Can we still seek longevity?"
"But what about You'er? This incident has practically used up all our cultivation resources!"
"If you ask me, we might as well fight him head-on. Even if we die, we'll at least break a few of his teeth!"
Sixth Elder, annoyed, struck Eighth Elder's head twice.
"Fight, fight!"
"Always rushing in, you say it so easily."
"We might as well die, but what about You'er? Do you want to abandon him?"
Eighth Elder grimaced from the blows, rubbing the back of his head as he sat down on the ground.
"Then what do you suggest!"
"Give us a plan!"
Sixth Elder was speechless.
He didn't have a plan either, he just felt they couldn't fight head-on.
Only a brute would do that!
An unusual silence fell over the great hall.
Humans are iron, food is steel; one meal missed and hunger pangs begin.
This saying was equally true for cultivators.
Without the boost of cultivation resources, the Lin Family would fall before long.
Finally, Lin Tao, the pillar of the family, stepped forward.
He looked at his brothers and said in a deep voice.
"I can go out and take on some Star Domain Missions."
"This will help subsidize the family a bit, and at least You'er's cultivation resources won't be lacking."
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
Upon hearing this, Eighth Elder quickly said, "Brother, I'll go with you. It'll be good to have someone to watch my back."
Everyone chimed in, expressing their desire to go together.
Lin Tao rebuked, "Nonsense! If everyone leaves, what about You'er?"
"This matter is settled!"
Second Elder Lin Dong looked uneasy. "Brother, let's discuss this further!"
"Star Domain Missions are still too dangerous!"
Star Domain Missions are tasks posted by factions or individuals across the Myriad Worlds.
The process is simple.
Take the money, do the job.
For ordinary, simple tasks, most families are capable enough not to need outside help.
Most of the missions posted are extremely dangerous.
They involve either traversing the void to intercept enemies or venturing into dangerous territories to explore and seize treasures!
Mercenary groups that make a living doing this year-round often don't survive in the end.
Lin Tao asserted his authority as the eldest brother, waving his sleeve.
"This matter is settled!"
"The Lin Family cannot stop!"
Lin Dong tried to persuade him again, but Lin Tao shut him down with a single sentence.
"Silence!"
Everyone felt an immense sadness.
They all knew their eldest brother was forced to risk his life for the sake of the family.
The atmosphere in the hall was incredibly heavy at this moment.
Suddenly, a head poked in from outside the hall door.
"Uncles."
"What are you guys talking about?"
Lin You's eyes were shining as he asked.
Lin Tao's expression stiffened.
"It's you, You'er."
"You're out of seclusion already?"
Lin Tao regretted speaking halfway through.
Without cultivation resources.
What else could he do but come out!
Sit there idly?
Yesterday, when You'er was cultivating, he had observed quietly.
The Lin Family's Spiritual Energy had gathered in large amounts, with no signs of absorbing Spirit Stones or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
You'er's words were a well-intentioned lie.
He had said it deliberately so they could break through.
Thinking of this, Lin Tao felt even more guilty.
He felt like he had failed this only child.
Everyone else knew what was going on and remained silent.
"Mhm."
"I've made a little bit of progress, so I've come out of seclusion."
Lin You nodded and walked into the hall with a smile.
Seeing him still pretending to be strong and comforting them, everyone felt even worse.
They wished they could all go out and take on missions.
To make up for the guilt in their hearts.
Without cultivation resources, what results could he achieve in just one day?
He was just trying to keep them from worrying.
Lin Tao forced a smile and waved, signaling Lin You to come closer.
"You'er, we didn't say anything just now."
"We were just chatting."
"Are you having any difficulties with your cultivation recently? Just tell Brother Tao, Brother Tao has plenty of reserves if nothing else."
Upon hearing this.
Everyone fell silent again.
They knew exactly how many threads were on Brother Tao's underwear, let alone any reserves.
"Me?"
"I don't have any difficulties."
"I eat well and sleep well."
Lin You looked at everyone, confused.
He continued, wanting to announce the good news.
"I'm here today to tell you all a piece of great news."
Lin Dong also sighed.
"Child, is this about your inheritance?"
Lin You nodded frantically.
"Yes, yes."
"It's about the inheritance!"
Lin Dong felt terrible, thinking Lin You was bearing too much at such a young age.
He didn't even have resources for his own cultivation, yet he was still trying to comfort them, these old guys.
"Good child."
"You've been wronged..."
But the next second, his expression froze in place.
Looking at the secret realm space Lin You flung out, he let out a disbelieving cry, his eyes widening into ovals.
"What in the world is this?"
"A Blessed Land?"
"Holy crap!"
"Are you kidding me and Brother Dong?!"
