A Small Goal

"Great Heavenly Phoenix Seal!"

As he gazed at the enormous Silver Phoenix Shadow standing in the void, a trace of astonishment rose in Lin Langtian's eyes.

Creation Martial Arts were the very pinnacle of martial arts within the Great Yan Dynasty, and for the current Lin Langtian, they were exactly what he needed.

With that thought, Lin Langtian stirred his mind and swiftly began receiving the vast Martial Arts Inheritance.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The phoenix shadow suddenly began to squirm slowly. Silver light surged forth, and in the end, it transformed into a somewhat illusory ancient silver book that floated quietly in midair.

Looking at the silver martial arts manual, Lin Langtian took a deep breath. A wisp of Mental Power drifted out, and the book slowly floated toward him. Like something intangible, it passed directly through Lin Langtian's forehead and entered his mind.

"Boom!"

The instant the illusory book entered Lin Langtian's head, his body shuddered violently. Overwhelming information exploded within his mind.

One immensely powerful martial arts move after another flashed through his mind like flickering images at an astonishing speed.

The speed was so fast that even his thoughts could barely keep up, yet it left Lin Langtian with the sensation that everything had been deeply branded into his mind. At a thought, it would emerge with perfect clarity!

Moreover, along with this martial art came extensive cultivation experience concerning it. Clearly, the past experts of the Lin Clan had passed down their own insights into this martial art together with it.

This was Martial Arts Inheritance!

What was inherited was not merely martial arts, but also the various invaluable cultivation experiences of generations of Lin Clan Patriarchs. To Lin Langtian, this was undoubtedly a true treasure trove!

Slowly opening his eyes and sensing the Creation Martial Arts in his mind, Lin Langtian smiled faintly.

With this, he had gained another trump card, and his Combat Power had risen once more!

Seeing Lin Langtian receive the Creation Martial Arts inheritance so quickly, Lin Fan was stunned.

As the Lin Clan's Clan-Protecting Ultimate Technique, the Great Heavenly Phoenix Seal was quite difficult to cultivate even for a Creation Realm expert.

Yet Lin Langtian had completely received it in merely a quarter of an hour. His talent was truly astonishing.

Thinking this, Lin Fan nodded, and the appreciation in his gaze toward Lin Langtian grew even stronger.

"Alright. Since you have successfully received the Great Heavenly Phoenix Seal, all you need to do from now on is cultivate it diligently. I believe that with your talent, Langtian, you will certainly carry it forward," Lin Fan said with a smile.

"I will not disappoint Clan Leader's expectations!" Lin Langtian said, cupping his hands toward the man before him.

Although in the original timeline, Lin Fan's attitude toward Lin Langtian had changed drastically after Lin Dong appeared, even favoring Lin Dong instead,

it had to be said that as the Clan Leader of a great clan, he was extremely qualified.

Furthermore, since his rebirth, Lin Fan had given Lin Langtian considerable help. Thus, Lin Langtian held considerable respect and gratitude for him.

"Alright, there is nothing else. You may leave now." Patting Lin Langtian on the shoulder, Lin Fan smiled.

"Langtian takes his leave..."

Nodding, Lin Langtian bid Lin Fan farewell, then left the study and headed toward his own courtyard.

As the strongest among the Lin Clan's younger generation and now the Law Enforcement Elder, Lin Langtian's residence was not far from the Clan Leader's quarters. Thus, he reached his destination after only a short while.

However, what stunned Lin Langtian was that an old man was standing at the entrance to his residence.

Upon approaching, he saw that it was Elder Tao, whom Lin Langtian had sent to the Lin Family of Qingyang Town more than a month ago to repair relations with Lin Dong.

"Hehe, Langtian, you are back. I heard that your reputation has spread far and wide through the Imperial Capital. I have only been in Lin City for a few days, yet even I have heard of it," Elder Tao said. He was momentarily startled upon seeing Lin Langtian, then quickly stepped forward with a light laugh.

"You flatter me, Elder Tao. It is only a modest reputation. Rather, I have troubled you by making you wait here so long. Please come inside so we may talk," Lin Langtian said with a faint smile as he led Elder Tao indoors.

At the same time, he was quite curious about how Elder Tao's trip had gone.

After entering the room, the two sat down one after another. Lin Langtian looked at the old man before him and smiled. "I have troubled Elder Tao to travel back and forth during this time.

How did the Qingyang Town branch family respond? Did they accept my apology?"

Lin Langtian slowly took a sip of tea, his expression calm.

Upon hearing this, Elder Tao cupped his hands toward Lin Langtian and smiled. "Hehe, I did not fail your trust. Although my old friend and his family still harbored some resentment over what happened back then, after this old man's persuasion, as well as your apology and compensation, Langtian, the matter has more or less become a thing of the past.

Even Nephew Lin Xiao has fully recovered from his injuries and untied the knot in his heart. His misunderstanding toward you, Langtian, has also been resolved.

It is only this token that he refused to accept. He believes that his son, Lin Dong, will win the right to return to the Inner Clan at the Clan Competition several years from now."

As he spoke, Elder Tao took out a Black Token engraved with the character "Heaven" and handed it to Lin Langtian.

Taking the token, Lin Langtian raised his brows, then chuckled as he put it away in his Universe Bag.

Lin Langtian was not surprised by Lin Xiao's decision. After all, a father capable of raising the Martial Ancestor was clearly not someone who would flatter others or resort to trickery.

Although he had not accepted the token, Lin Langtian had already done everything he should. He believed that the Qingyang Town branch family would be able to feel his goodwill.

As for Lin Dong, although the two had not met yet, Lin Langtian knew that he was not someone who could not distinguish right from wrong, nor was he narrow-minded and short-sighted.

Even if Lin Dong still harbored a trace of resentment, Lin Langtian would simply beat this clan cousin into submission when the clan gathering came.

Lin Langtian did not believe that, after being reborn for so long, he still would not be able to crush Lin Dong, this Child of Destiny, at the clan gathering several years from now!

The two continued chatting for a while. Lin Langtian then took out three thousand Pure Yuan Pills from his Universe Bag and handed them to Elder Tao as the previously agreed payment for his errand.

Beaming with delight, Elder Tao accepted the three thousand Pure Yuan Pills. After repeatedly thanking Lin Langtian, he took the opportunity to bid farewell...

After seeing Elder Tao out the gate, Lin Langtian looked toward the setting sun in the distance and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since learning that he had been reborn as Lin Langtian, he had been deeply worried about the situation he found himself in.

For one, this was the Heavenly Profound Continent, where strength reigned supreme and Evil Demons watched like tigers eyeing prey. The weak could not even guarantee their own lives. Only by constantly growing stronger could one gain a greater sense of security.

Yet he had no system and no invincible cheat. He could only grow step by step, climbing to the peak of the Heavenly Profound Continent and even the Great Thousand World.

For another, his inexplicable grudge with Lin Dong, one of the future Great Thousand World's strongest experts, hung over him like a thorn in his back and left him worried from time to time.

However, now that Lin Dong's shackles had been removed, he could devote himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation in the future.

At the same time, he set a small goal for himself.

That was to break through to the Half-step Nirvana Stage before the Hundred Dynasties War!
