Great Sky Phoenix Seal

"Langtian, greetings, Clan Leader!"

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

The study was peaceful. A middle-aged man with black-and-white hair sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, as though deep in thought.

Upon seeing him, Lin Langtian respectfully greeted him.

"Hehe, Langtian, is that you? Have a seat..."

Lin Fan smiled faintly as his tightly shut eyes slowly opened. There was no trace of grogginess in them; instead, they were exceptionally deep and filled with wisdom.

Lin Langtian respectfully nodded, then found a stool and sat down.

"I have heard all about what you did in the Imperial Capital. Well done. As expected of the Lin Clan's foremost genius." Lin Fan looked at Lin Langtian, unable to conceal the smile on his dignified face.

"You flatter me, Clan Leader. It was simply what Langtian ought to have done," Lin Langtian said modestly.

"Hehe, each generation produces its own talents. I heard that not only did you win Ling Qingzhu's special favor, but you also destroyed a second-rate gang in the Imperial Capital called the Mystic Tiger Gang, even killing a Great Accomplishment Qi Shaping Realm expert while still in the Shaping Realm.

With such achievements, even I was inferior to you in my younger days. If you continue to be humble, then the ancestors of the Lin Clan will have cause for shame."

After praising him, Lin Fan swept his gaze over Lin Langtian, only to find nothing. He withdrew it, a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

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

Although Lin Langtian had not grown up under his watch, after the latter displayed outstanding talent, Lin Fan had paid him considerable attention and ordered the clan to allocate more resources to him.

However, in Lin Fan's view, although Lin Langtian was a rare genius, he still fell far short of those freakish talents who appeared only once every few centuries.

Yet that view had changed in recent days, because the exceptional talent Lin Langtian had displayed recently forced him to reassess him.

Could it be that he had underestimated Lin Langtian's talent, and that his potential had yet to be further unearthed?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan looked at the Green Shirt Youth before him and said with a soft laugh, "Langtian, I wish to recommend you as the Lin Clan's Young Clan Leader. What do you think?"

For Lin Fan, who was focused on cultivation, had no descendants. Meanwhile, the formidable talent Lin Langtian had displayed was enough for him to take over the Lin Clan in the future.

Thus, Lin Fan had no objection to handing the position of Young Clan Leader to Lin Langtian.

Hearing this, Lin Langtian was stunned. The Young Clan Leader was the Lin Clan's next heir.

In time, he would become the Lin Clan's clan leader, one of the most powerful people in the Great Yan Empire!

After a brief daze, Lin Langtian quickly recovered and shook his head. "Thank you for your kind offer, Clan Leader, but Langtian's ambitions do not lie here. The Hundred Dynasties War several years from now is my true goal.

The clan leader is still in his prime. The position of Young Clan Leader should be given to another outstanding junior of the clan in the future."

"The Hundred Dynasties War..." Hearing Lin Langtian's words, a trace of reminiscence flashed through Lin Fan's eyes before he sighed.

"That is good as well. With your talent, perhaps you may stand out in the Hundred Dynasties War, join a Super Sect, and bring glory to our Lin Clan!" Lin Fan said with a light laugh.

"I will not disappoint the clan leader's expectations!" Lin Langtian cupped his fists.

"Oh, right..." As though recalling something, Lin Fan suddenly frowned slightly. "I heard that you have also cultivated mental energy and become a Talisman Master?"

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

Although cultivating both Yuan Power and mental energy sounded wonderful, a person's energy was ultimately limited. Even gifted freaks did not dare cultivate mental energy and Yuan Power at the same time.

Moreover, Lin Langtian was now the Lin Clan's foremost genius and was highly likely to represent the Lin Clan in joining a Super Sect. Thus, Lin Fan did not want Lin Langtian to go astray.

Seeing Lin Fan's expression, Lin Langtian knew that he wanted to advise him to give up cultivating mental energy.

However, Lin Langtian already had his own plans for cultivating as a Talisman Master, so he had no intention of giving it up.

After pondering briefly, Lin Langtian said thoughtfully, "In reply to the Clan Leader, Langtian understands your concern. However, the greatest reason I cultivate mental energy is that it does not hinder my Yuan Power cultivation.

That way, not only will my Yuan Power cultivation remain unaffected, but I can also master additional means to defeat enemies. It kills two birds with one stone, so why not?

As for whether it will hinder my Yuan Power cultivation in the future, Langtian will certainly know when to stop. I will not waste all my attention on cultivating mental energy."

Seeing Lin Langtian's solemn assurance, Lin Fan still wanted to say something, but the words reached his lips before he ultimately swallowed them back and sighed softly.

"Since you are confident, I will not say more. However, cultivating mental energy only becomes more difficult the further one progresses. When that time comes, I hope you can make a reasonable choice."

"Thank you for your guidance, Clan Leader." Though he had not taken the other man's words to heart, Lin Langtian still showed gratitude.

"There is no need to thank me. This is the path you chose. Cultivating both Yuan Power and mental energy is exceedingly difficult, but I hope you can walk farther along it." Lin Fan shook his head, then seemed to recall something. Looking at Lin Langtian, he smiled. "Langtian, this journey of yours has greatly enhanced the Lin Clan's prestige. As for the Huangpu Clan's little schemes, I will give them a warning myself. But your reward cannot be lacking either.

Although the Hundred Dynasties War is still several years away, with your strength, you have barely met the requirements to learn the Lin Clan's ultimate art—the Great Sky Phoenix Seal."

"The Great Sky Phoenix Seal!"

Lin Langtian was startled upon hearing this, before delight appeared on his face.

No one in the Lin Clan was unfamiliar with this powerful Creation Martial Art. It was said that in the past, one of the Lin Clan's Clan Leaders had used it, with peak Creation Realm strength, to utterly wipe out a sect hostile to the Lin Clan!

That sect had possessed two Great Accomplishment Creation Realm experts, yet in the end, they still perished unwillingly beneath this move. This showed just how ferocious and overbearing this martial art was!

Lin Langtian also knew that, in the original timeline, his original body had fought Lin Dong fiercely with this move, posing an enormous threat to the latter.

Although Lin Langtian had ultimately still failed to defeat Lin Dong, setting aside protagonist plot armor, it could not be denied that since this Creation Martial Art was the Lin Clan's ultimate art, it was absolutely not to be underestimated.

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

"Thank you for this reward, Clan Leader!" Understanding Lin Fan's meaning, Lin Langtian hurriedly cupped his fists in thanks.

"Hehe, there is no need to thank me. You have earned it all. Remember, this is both an honor and a responsibility. I look forward to your performance in the Hundred Dynasties War."

Lin Fan gave Lin Langtian an expectant look, then extended a finger. A mysterious silver light flashed at its tip before landing on the latter's forehead.

In an instant, the light shadow before Lin Langtian's eyes shifted, and he seemed to arrive within a void space.

Within the void not far away was a silver phoenix silhouette several hundred zhang in size. An incomparable sharp aura slowly spread outward.

In the dark void, the silver phoenix silhouette stood alone, like a divine bird born at the beginning of heaven and earth. It shook the heavens and earth, radiating boundless killing intent and sharpness!

At that moment, Lin Langtian's gaze locked tightly onto the silver phoenix silhouette. Even he could not help feeling his heart palpitate before that terrifying aura.

Such a martial art was truly world-shaking!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Langtian suppressed the astonishment in his heart. Then, his gaze fixed upon the center of the silver phoenix silhouette, where several mysterious ancient silver characters flickered with strange light in the darkness.

"Great Sky Phoenix Seal!"
