Journey to the God Burying Abyss

Yi Yun's complete silence made Lin Yu feel as if he had punched empty air.

At Yi Yun's age, he was full of youthful vigor and couldn't stand being looked down upon. Lin Yu originally thought that his words would agitate Yi Yun, making him argue with him until he was red in the face. Then, he could provoke Yi Yun into entering the Wild Beast Cage and fighting the Mystic Scaled Tiger.

Given Yi Yun's strength, he would definitely be in a terrible predicament if he encountered Mystic Scaled Tiger. Even if the Lin family steward came to his rescue, Yi Yun would probably still be injured, or at least make a huge fool of himself.

But Lin Yu didn't know what to do about Yi Yun's low-key and patient demeanor.

Lin Yu's henchmen, who had practically grown up with Lin Yu, knew Lin Yu thoughts very well and volunteered to try and provoke Yi Yun.

But Lin Yu shook his head. "Forget it, it would seem too deliberate to provoke him. Yi Yun might not agree, and if he does, and gets injured, the Old Madam might hold him accountable."

Lin Yu didn't want to cause any more trouble, and just then, a thought struck him, and he turned to look at the distant sky.

People seemed to sense something and all looked into the distance.

Amidst the vast expanse of swirling snow, a group of people flew silently toward Cloud Peak.

Yi Yun narrowed his eyes and saw Lin Xin Tong, Su Jie, and the Lin Family Old Matriarch among them.

However, to Yi Yun's slight surprise, the Old Madam, who was usually the head of the Lin family, was respectfully following behind the two elders this time.

The two old men, one dressed in gray and the other in white, both had white hair and beards, slightly yellowish complexions, and even age spots on their faces. They didn't have the slightest air of otherworldly elegance; in fact, one could say they were somewhat ugly.

The two elderly men looked remarkably alike, almost like twins.

When Yi Yun saw the two old men, they were still quite far away, and their speed seemed very slow. But just a few breaths later, they landed lightly without stirring up a speck of dust.

In an instant, the once bustling Cloud Peak fell silent, and everyone stared blankly at the two old men. Even the snowflakes dancing in the air seemed to freeze.

Seeing the two old men standing before him, Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously held his breath. Facing the eyes of these two old men, Yi Yun felt that he could not meet their gaze, as if their eyes were a bright lamp that could see right through him.

Although Yi Yun knew that the level of the Purple Crystal far exceeded the martial arts level of this world, and that the other party couldn't possibly detect anything, the pressure from the two old men still made him feel uneasy.

The two old men glanced at Yi Yun simultaneously; one nodded slightly, while the other remained expressionless.

Not far behind the two old men was Lin Xin Tong, dressed in plain clothes.

Five months had passed in the blink of an eye. When Yi Yun looked at Lin Xin Tong again, he felt that her temperament had undergone some kind of elusive change. She was becoming more and more like a Heavenly Palace fairy. With the Purple Crystal in her body, Yi Yun could feel that the power within Lin Xin Tong was as calm and steady as an autumn pool, without the slightest ripple.

Such immense power, yet so serene— Lin Xin Tong's strength has clearly reached an unimaginable level.

"To the Lin family members present, let me introduce these two: Fire Pattern Elder and Heaven Punishment Elder, two of the three Supreme Elders of the Lin family. I'm sure you've all heard of them for a long time, but very few of you have actually seen them."

After saying this, the Old Madam retreated behind the two elders.

Although everyone present had their own guesses, they still gasped in disbelief when the Old Madam confirmed it.

The three supreme elders of the Lin family were practically legends to the younger generation present. They were rarely seen, and even ordinary elders of the Lineage rarely had the opportunity to meet them.

These two elders are the true pillars of the Lin family. The Lin family is able to stand tall in the Tianyuan Realm and become a first-class Lineage. They are able to protect the feng shui treasure land of the Jade Spirit Mountain because of the support of these elders.

However, the Lin family is not in a good position right now. The two elders are getting old and don't have much time left to live.

The remaining third elder is the strongest and younger, but he also requires the Lin family to cultivate another Supreme Elder within ten to twenty thousand years in order to support the Lin family's current business. This is no small feat.

Lin Xin Tong is undoubtedly the candidate that the Lin family's higher-ups are currently most concerned about. If Lin Xin Tong can continue her innate rare Fatal Meridian, she may become the future peerless empress, which will surely ensure the Lin family's prosperity for millions of years.

Such immense benefits are enough to make the Lin family willing to take any risk.

"You all know the significance of the Empress Secret Realm, so I won't elaborate. Although Tianzhu and I will accompany you on this trip, you are the true protagonists!"

"As a place of inheritance, the greatest benefit of the Empress Secret Realm is definitely reserved for you younger generation. If any of you can gain recognition in the Empress Secret Realm and obtain the inheritance left by the Empress, or find a way to continue the innate broken Fatal Meridian of the Xin Tong, then you will be the greatest contributor to the Lin family. In the future, as long as you achieve something, you can take charge of half of the Lin family's empire!"

Fire Pattern Elder's words were astonishing, causing the many geniuses present to widen their eyes in surprise.

Taking control of half of the Lin family's empire!?

They had guessed that the Empress Secret Realm expedition was of great importance and that the Lin family would offer a generous reward, but they had only imagined things like cultivation techniques, elixirs, and relics.

Unexpectedly, Fire Pattern Elder Huowen promised control of the Lin family's future.

As for why it's only half, it's obvious, because the other half is reserved for Lin Xin Tong.

If Lin Xin Tong truly inherited the innate rare Fatal Meridian, then becoming the head of the Lin family would be a matter of course. However, the fact that they could share the Lin family's power with Lin Xin Tong and become people whose status was second only to the peerless Great Emperor made the many young Lin family members present feel excited.

"The Lin family has really gone all out this time."

Behind Elder Huowen, Su Jie secretly clicked his tongue in admiration. He admired Fire Pattern Elder's boldness; only with a generous reward could one find a brave soul.

However, Fire Pattern Elder's reward was also reasonable.

If someone truly inherits the Empress Inheritance, they would have enough power to control half of the Lin family. And if someone finds a way to cure Lin Xin Tong, the credit would be even greater.

"Set off!"

Fire Pattern Elder stopped wasting words and flicked his hand, sending a streak of light flying past—a miniature spirit boat.

The small boat grew rapidly after being thrown into the air, soon becoming a hundred feet long.

Then, Fire Pattern Elder flicked his sleeve, and a powerful force swept through the crowd, carrying all the younger generation onto the spirit boat.

Yi Yun felt a spatial shift, and the next moment, he found himself inside the ship's cabin.

This startled Yi Yun. Fire Pattern Elder's methods clearly contained Space Law; otherwise, he should have appeared on the deck instead of directly entering the interior of the spirit boat.

The spirit boat soared into the sky, leaving Cloud Peak in the blink of an eye, and flew straight towards the God Burying Abyss.

Along the way, the spirit boat cut through the fog at an extremely fast speed, and Yi Yun felt an unusually smooth ride.

The two Supreme Elders had disappeared. At first, Heaven Punishment Elder nodded slightly to Yi Yun to express his gratitude for Yi Yun's exposure of the Shentu Family's conspiracy. However, later on, they did not pay much attention to Yi Yun, focusing more of their energy on Lin Xin Tong.

Among the younger generation, the most important figure in this trip to the Empress Secret Realm is undoubtedly Lin Xin Tong. Lin Xin Tong is also the most likely to inherit the Empress Inheritance.

The younger generation of the Lin family were unaware that for the past five months, the three great elders of the Lin family had been working together to guide Lin Xin Tong. In addition, the Old Madam and others would also come from time to time to teach Lin Xin Tong and the others their respective strengths.

All the experts in the Lin family revolved around Lin Xin Tong, and they generously allowed Lin Xin Tong to use all sorts of Lineage heirloom medicines.

The Lin family spared no effort in cultivating Lin Xin Tong. In the long history of the Lin family, no other junior has received such treatment.

Lin Xin Tong did not disappoint the Lin family's higher-ups. In just five months, her strength leaped forward again, and her mastery of the Laws advanced further. Looking through the entire history of the Lin family, no one could be found with such strength at Lin Xin Tong's age.

If it weren't for the curse of her Innate Yin Meridian hanging over the minds of the elders, Lin Xin Tong's current achievements would already be enough to make her a potential heir to the Lin family.

Now, while the spirit boat is flying, the two Supreme Elders are also sitting quietly beside Lin Xin Tong, secretly manipulating the flow of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, so that Lin Xin Tong can reach an excellent state in terms of Essence, Energy, Spirit, and spirit before the battle.

The Lin family's higher-ups have great confidence in Lin Xin Tong for this trip to the Empress Secret Realm.

They knew that the Shentu Family had failed in the Empress Secret Realm because Shentu Nantian —the number one genius of the younger generation of the Shentu Family —had failed to gain the Empress Secret Realm's approval!

If Lin Xin Tong can gain the approval of the Empress Secret Realm, then the Lin family should be able to truly open the Empress Secret Realm.

As a woman Innate Yin Meridian and possessing a perfect Pure Yin Body, Lin Xin Tong's martial arts talent is simply impeccable. If even Lin Xin Tong cannot gain the recognition of the Empress Secret Realm, the Lin family's higher-ups cannot think of anyone else with that ability.

"Old Madam, don't worry, Xin Tong will be fine."

Beside the Old Madam, an elder from the Lin family spoke, and the Old Madam nodded, her gaze towards Lin Xin Tong filled with love and hope...

At this moment, Lin Xin Tong were closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly. Sitting in meditation, she looked like an ethereal fairy. However, beneath the calm power within her body lay a surging fighting spirit, a declaration of war against fate!

She had always wanted to control her own destiny, and this time, fate had presented her with an opportunity...
