Five Great Families!

Within the dim grand hall.

They were making their final arrangements.

The resources within a star domain were limited.

The more families there were within it, the less each person received on average.

The other five Great Families were all long-established powers that had taken root in the Tianluo Star Domain for tens of thousands of years.

Only the Lin Family.

Had fought their way up from the Ninth-grade Star Domain.

If not for the Everlasting Family's rule that whoever ranked first on the Heavenly Pride Rankings would be promoted.

They would have long since joined forces to suppress the Lin Family.

Unfortunately...

Not only did the Lin Family possess exceptionally high cultivation talent, they fought as though they did not care for their lives.

In the early days, they had also tried striking first.

Yet in the end, at the cost of seven fallen brothers from the Lin Family, the Lin Family had forcibly withstood the siege of the Five Great Families.

All these years.

No one from the Lin Family had participated in the Heavenly Pride Competition.

This was already their last chance.

If the Lin Family could not seize first place, they would fall back to the Ninth-grade Star Domain.

"Good."

"With the Ye Family's Kirin Son taking the field, it should be as easy as taking something from one's pocket."

"This Heavenly Pride Competition, whether you can win in the end or not is unimportant."

"Your sole objective is to make the Lin Family exit early."

The Two-Headed Shadow spoke in a deep voice.

Ye Fan replied respectfully, "This junior understands."

Ye Fan was brimming with confidence.

"I have long heard that Lin You has lost all his cultivation."

"Let alone now that he has no cultivation—even at his peak, with my current strength..."

"I could suppress him with a mere lift of my hand!"

Everyone nodded.

Then, as though recalling something, they asked.

"What should be done about that genius with the Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils?"

A rare silence fell over the hall.

In the end, the Daoist Robe Elder spoke.

"Leave him be."

"If I am not mistaken, that boy has long caught the eye of the Everlasting Family."

"This Heavenly Pride Competition is merely the first step for him to reveal his brilliance."

"He does not conflict with us. If he can win, all the better. If not, it has nothing to do with us."

Among the Myriad Worlds.

There were tens of thousands of Seventh-grade Star Domains like the Tianluo Star Domain.

Only if a clan's disciples took first place, or ranked in the top ten for three consecutive years.

And the clan's cultivation level met the corresponding requirements.

Could the entire family ascend to a higher-grade star domain.

If their ranking was neither high nor low, their family grade would remain unchanged.

If they ranked near the bottom three times in a row, their family grade would be demoted.

For the Five Great Families.

To seize first place from the heavenly prides of tens of thousands of star domains of the same grade, as well as the fierce tigers who had fought their way out of even lower star domains.

Was far too difficult.

But achieving a middling result and maintaining their family grade.

Was easy enough.

Three days later.

The Heavenly Pride Competition arrived as scheduled.

Lin You emerged from the secret chamber, looking utterly disheveled.

His entire body was covered in a black, sticky substance.

He stank as though he had just crawled out of a cesspit.

These were the impurities expelled from his body after cultivation.

The moment Lin You stepped outside, the eight Great Ones hurried forward, circling him with concern and inspecting him from every angle.

One moment they lifted his arm, the next they pried open his eyelids.

They were terrified he might have suffered cultivation deviation.

Lin Tao held Lin You's wrist, his expression grave.

"Hmm..."

"His aura is steady, with no signs of disorder."

"But this cultivation... why can't I see through it?"

At those words, everyone immediately turned their heads.

Lin You gave a sly grin.

He knew why.

System Bro had helped him conceal his cultivation. Unless he chose to reveal it himself, no one would be able to see through it.

Lin Tao pressed, "You'er, what realm are you at now?"

Lin You scratched his head.

"I don't know."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"You don't know?"

Lin You nodded honestly.

"I just kept breaking through and breaking through."

"I don't know what realm I'm at now either."

"But I reckon..."

"I should be able to beat those heavenly prides black and blue."

As soon as the words fell, the entire place went silent as a grave.

Second Elder Lin Dong spoke earnestly:

"You'er, do not underestimate the heroes of the world."

"This Heavenly Pride Competition has tens of thousands of geniuses participating, all from other star domains."

"You rebuilt your Dao foundation, so it's normal for your cultivation to progress a little faster in the early stages."

"But you must never become arrogant and conceited."

Looking at his uncles' solemn faces, Lin You's heart gave a jolt.

That's right.

He was someone who had transmigrated here.

How could he be so careless?

Throughout the Myriad Worlds, geniuses were as numerous as the hairs on an ox.

With the little ability he had, it probably wouldn't be enough.

Thinking that, Lin You nodded deeply.

"I understand, Second Uncle."

Seeing that Lin You accepted the advice, everyone nodded in satisfaction.

"Go take a bath."

"Clean yourself up properly."

"Don't disgrace our Lin Family!"

"Whether I'm first or not doesn't matter at all!"

Lin You was deeply moved.

This family was just too wonderful!

At the very least, it wasn't some hellish script where, the moment you transmigrated, it became a fight to the death, boohoo...

He silently swore to himself.

He would definitely lead everyone forward together!

Lin You slipped into the bathroom and began washing his body.

Yet there was one small question lingering in his heart...

True Core Realm cultivation...

Was really low.

So panicked. Seeking help.

Waiting online!

P.S.: The complete realm explanation was placed at the end of Chapter Three, but it seems many people didn't see it, so here it is again.

Lower Three-Tier Starfield:
