Great Sky Phoenix Seal

"Langtian, greetings, Clan Leader!"

Lin Langtian gently pushed open the door and entered a study deep within the Lin Clan.

The study was tranquil. A middle-aged man with salt-and-pepper hair sat with his eyes closed, as if in meditation.

Upon seeing this person, Lin Langtian respectfully said, "Heh heh, is that Langtian? Come in and sit..."

Lin Fan also smiled slightly, slowly opening his tightly shut eyes. His pupils were not clouded with drowsiness but were exceptionally deep and full of wisdom.

Lin Langtian nodded respectfully and then directly found a stool to sit down.

"I've heard about your deeds in the Imperial Capital. You've done well. You truly are the number one genius of our Lin Clan," Lin Fan said, looking at Lin Langtian before him, an undeniable smile on his stern face.

"Clan Leader, you flatter me. This is what Langtian should do," Lin Langtian replied humbly.

"Heh heh, generations produce new talents. I hear you've not only won the special favor of Ling Qingzhu but also annihilated a second-rate gang in the Imperial Capital called the Mystic Tiger Gang, defeating a peak Qi Shaping Realm expert while only in the Shaping Realm.

Such achievements, even I, the Clan Leader, couldn't match in my youth. If you remain humble, Langtian, you'll make our Lin Clan's ancestors feel quite ashamed."

After his praise, Lin Fan's gaze swept over Lin Langtian before he withdrew it with no result, a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

Even he found Lin Langtian's glorious achievements in the Imperial Capital somewhat unbelievable.

Although Lin Langtian wasn't someone he had watched grow up, Lin Fan had paid close attention to him after he displayed his excellent talent, even ordering the clan to allocate resources to him.

However, in Lin Fan's opinion, while Lin Langtian was a rare genius, he was still far from the monstrous talents that appeared once every few centuries.

But this thought had changed in recent days. The excellent talent Lin Langtian had recently displayed forced him to re-evaluate his perception of the young man.

Could it be that he had underestimated Lin Langtian's talent, and there was still potential to be unearthed?

With this thought, Lin Fan looked at the green-shirted youth before him and chuckled, "Langtian, I wish to nominate you as the Young Clan Leader of the Lin Clan. What do you think?"

For Lin Fan, having focused on cultivation, he had no children. Lin Langtian's displayed talent was sufficient for him to take over the Lin Clan in the future.

Therefore, Lin Fan had no objection to appointing Lin Langtian as the Young Clan Leader.

Hearing this, Lin Langtian was stunned. Young Clan Leader – this was the next successor to the Lin Clan.

In time, becoming the Clan Leader of the Lin Clan would make him one of the most powerful individuals in the Great Yan Empire!

After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Langtian quickly regained his composure and shook his head. "Thank you for your kind offer, Clan Leader. However, Langtian's ambitions lie elsewhere. The Hundred Dynasties War in a few years is my true goal.

You are in your prime, Clan Leader. Please select another outstanding junior from the clan for the Young Clan Leader position at a later date."

"The Hundred Dynasties War..." Hearing Lin Langtian's words, a hint of recollection flashed in Lin Fan's eyes, and he sighed.

"That is for the best. With your talent, perhaps you can stand out in the Hundred Dynasties War, join a Super Sect, and bring glory to our Lin Clan!" Lin Fan chuckled.

"I will not fail your expectations, Clan Leader!" Lin Langtian cupped his hands.

"Oh, right..." As if remembering something, Lin Fan's brow furrowed slightly. "I heard you've also cultivated Spiritual Power and become a Talisman Master?"

Lin Fan did not approve of Lin Langtian's actions.

While dual cultivation of Primal Energy and Spiritual Power sounded wonderful, human energy was finite. Even some monstrous geniuses dared not cultivate both simultaneously.

And Lin Langtian, as the Lin Clan's number one genius, was highly likely to represent the Lin Clan in joining a Super Sect. Therefore, Lin Fan did not want him to 'go astray.'

Seeing Lin Fan's expression, Lin Langtian knew the elder intended to persuade him to abandon cultivating Spiritual Power.

However, Lin Langtian already had his own ideas about cultivating Talisman Masters and had no intention of giving up.

After a moment of thought, Lin Langtian said, "Reporting to the Clan Leader, Langtian understands your concerns. However, the primary reason I cultivate Spiritual Power is that it does not hinder my Primal Energy cultivation.

This way, not only is my Primal Energy cultivation unaffected, but I can also master more methods of defeating enemies. It's a win-win situation, so why not?

As for if it hinders my Primal Energy cultivation in the future, Langtian will know when to stop and will not dedicate all his focus to Spiritual Power cultivation."

Seeing Lin Langtian's earnest promise, Lin Fan wanted to say more, but the words stopped at his lips. He finally retracted them and sighed.

"Since you are confident, I will say no more. However, Spiritual Power cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses. I hope you can make reasonable choices then."

"Thank you for your counsel, Clan Leader." Although he didn't take the elder's words to heart, Lin Langtian still showed gratitude.

"No need to thank me. This is the path you've chosen. Dual cultivation of Primal Energy and Spiritual Power is incredibly difficult, but I hope you can go further." Shaking his head, Lin Fan suddenly seemed to recall something and looked at Lin Langtian, smiling.

"Langtian, your actions today have greatly boosted the prestige of our Lin Clan. As for the Huangpu Clan's petty moves, I will warn them. However, your reward should not be lacking.

Although the Hundred Dynasties War is still a few years away, our Lin Clan's ultimate technique, the Great Sky Phoenix Seal, is something your current strength has barely met the requirements to learn."

"The Great Sky Phoenix Seal!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was stunned, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

Everyone in the Lin Clan was familiar with this powerful Creation Realm martial art. Legend had it that a former Clan Leader of the Lin Clan, with his peak Creation Realm strength, once used this technique to completely obliterate a sect that opposed the Lin Clan!

Within that sect were two peak Creation Realm experts, but in the end, they still perished in regret under this single move, demonstrating the fearsome power of this martial art!

Lin Langtian also knew that in the original timeline, his past self had used this move to fight Lin Dong, posing a significant threat to him.

Although Lin Langtian ultimately did not defeat Lin Dong, excluding the protagonist's halo, it was undeniable that this Creation Realm martial art, as the Lin Clan's ultimate technique, was absolutely not to be underestimated.

If Lin Langtian had learned the Great Sky Phoenix Seal earlier, he would have had an eighty percent chance of killing Huang Yin even without using the Black Flame!

"Thank you for the reward, Clan Leader!" Understanding Lin Fan's words, Lin Langtian quickly cupped his hands in thanks.

"Heh, no need to thank me. Everything you deserve. Remember, this is both an honor and a responsibility. I, the Clan Leader, look forward to your performance in the Hundred Dynasty War."

Lin Fan looked at Lin Langtian with anticipation before pointing a finger. A mysterious silver light flashed from his fingertip and landed on Lin Langtian's forehead.

Instantly, the scene before Lin Langtian's eyes shifted. Then, he saw himself seemingly transported to a void.

In the void not far away, there was a silver phoenix silhouette hundreds of feet in size, an unparalleled, sharp aura slowly spreading out.

In the dark void, the silver phoenix silhouette stood tall and independent, like a divine bird born at the beginning of heaven and earth, earth-shattering, exuding endless killing intent and sharpness!

Lin Langtian's gaze was fixed on the silver phoenix silhouette at that very moment. Its terrifying aura made even him tremble.

Such a martial art could be called astonishing!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Langtian suppressed the shock in his heart. Then, his gaze solidified on the center of the silver phoenix silhouette. There, several mysterious, ancient silver characters flickered with a strange light in the darkness.

"Great Sky Phoenix Seal!"
