[Name: Ji Changju] [Identity: Sect master of the Kun Sect, a subordinate sect of the Lin Clan] [Life script: Will die at Xiao Huohuo's hands in the future!]
[Name: Ji Kun] [Identity: Eldest senior brother of the Kun Sect] [Life script: Heeds Zhang San's slander and attacks Xiao Huohuo, bringing disaster upon the entire Kun Sect in the future and dying at Xiao Huohuo's hands!]
Only information related to the Son of Fortune was displayed. When Lin Fan saw their names and sect, he froze for a moment. Those were certainly distinctive names, and he could not help giving them another look.
He noticed that they looked quite alike. They were probably father and son.
Dressed in black-and-white sect uniforms, both father and son wore the same hairstyle: a middle part.
They bore quite the resemblance to an old acquaintance!
Lin Fan was somewhat disappointed. "They're not Sons of Fortune, just people connected to someone blessed with fortune. Is Xiao Huohuo the Son of Fortune, then?"
Lin Fan's eyes flickered as he said to Uncle Fu, "Sorry for the trouble, Uncle Fu, but please bring those two to see me. I have something to ask them."
Uncle Fu followed Lin Fan's gaze, nodded, and went over.
Those two were connected to the Son of Fortune. Barring any surprises, that fellow should be in the Kun Sect. He would learn a little about the situation first, then go looking once he broke through to the Spirit Sea Realm.
"Father, Mother!"
When Lin Fan returned to the courtyard, he saw two familiar figures sitting on its stone stools, and a smile appeared on his face. They were none other than Lin Dong and Ji Ningshuang.
"Mother missed you!"
Ji Ningshuang gave a breathtaking smile, stepped forward, and pulled Lin Fan into her arms. Stroking his head as though he were a child, she said dotingly, "Can't I come see you?"
Lin Fan said helplessly, "Mother, stop hugging me. I'm all grown up!"
"Come here, you little brat."
"That was reckless! Do you know how dangerous what you did during your tribulation was? How worried your mother was about you?"
With a stern face, Lin Dong beckoned to him, not forgetting to give Lin Fan a thorough scolding. Still, seeing that his son could stand on his own, pride remained in his eyes.
"Father, we cultivators walk against heaven itself. Only by seizing heaven's good fortune can we attain the Dao!"
Lin Fan did not go over. He looked at Lin Dong defiantly, not feeling he had done anything wrong, then turned and obediently sat beside Ji Ningshuang with a smile. "Mother, I've made you worry. I'll be more careful next time!"
"You... itching for a beating, are you? Just watch me thrash you!"
"Hey, what are you doing? Fan'er is grown now. Don't hit him in public anymore. A big boy needs to save face."
Angered by Lin Fan's different treatment of them, Lin Dong rolled up his sleeves and was about to smack him, but Ji Ningshuang stopped his hand with a cold expression. Seeing how well-behaved her son was, how could she bear to hit him?
The family of three chatted and laughed together.
Half a day passed before Lin Dong looked at Lin Fan and said, "Well? Instead of properly consolidating your cultivation, what are you going off to do now?"
He had noticed Lin Fan's intention to leave; his words carried hints of farewell.
Rather than answer, Lin Fan asked, "Father, does the Lineage have any Chaos Origin left? I need some to open up my Spirit Sea!"
Unable to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm, Lin Fan had searched for the reason as soon as his tribulation ended.
First, he did not have enough Villain Points.
He needed to spend a full million Villain Points to advance to the Spirit Sea Realm.
So many! He could not help inwardly cursing the system several times for being a profiteer. Why didn't it just go rob someone?!
He had thought his 104,000 Villain Points would be enough to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm.
After all, breaking through to the Core Formation Realm First Level had cost only 15,000 Villain Points. Yet, unexpectedly, the system had opened its lion's maw and demanded a million. He had never even seen that many Villain Points. Where was he supposed to get them?
As the host cultivated the Chaos Scripture, opening up his Spirit Sea Realm was very unusual and required an enormous amount of Chaos Origin-at least several jin-before he could break through to the Spirit Sea Realm.
After hearing the system's sophistry,
Lin Fan checked the Chaos Scripture and finally understood.
The Chaos Scripture recorded that only a vast quantity of Chaos Origin could open up a Spirit Sea as boundless as the universe. Otherwise, his golden core would remain as indestructible as solid rock.
Only then did he understand why even the power of the lightning tribulation had failed to open up his Spirit Sea. It turned out to be the Chaos Physique's unique cultivation method.
Lin Dong was shocked. "That much? Where am I supposed to find it?"
Chaos Origin!
This was something even Great Emperors coveted.
Even a single wisp would make them fight until their heads broke and blood flowed. Had he not been the Lin Clan's imperial son, with some resources to his name and doted on since childhood, he would never have possessed anything so precious.
Yet his own breakthrough to the Spirit Sea Realm required several jin.
Where was he supposed to find so much?
Lin Fan even imagined himself breaking through to higher realms. Wouldn't he need even more terrifying quantities of resources?
He could only wait and ask his father for some!
He needed Chaos Origin to open up his Spirit Sea. As for his Villain Points, he would save them for now, keeping them to advance through the minor levels after breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm.
Ji Ningshuang was just about to speak...
Lin Dong's eyes flickered, as though something had occurred to him, and he suddenly pressed down on her hand. She looked at Lin Dong in some confusion. Lin Dong shook his head, not waiting for her to speak.
"Open up your Spirit Sea? How much do you need?"
Lin Dong asked, "Between your father's private stash and the Lineage's supplies, we might be able to scrape together a few dozen wisps for you. That should be enough, right? You can keep the rest as cultivation resources."
Lin Dong guessed that Lin Fan's physique was different, and so was his method of opening up his Spirit Sea.
Without asking further, he told Lin Fan how much Chaos Origin they could provide.
Chaos Origin was exceedingly precious.
Even a trace of origin was enough for someone in the Spirit Sea Realm to open up a sea as vast as an ocean. A single wisp was enough to open up a moderately sized secret realm.
Even Sage Kings and Quasi-Emperors would covet it, as it could add tens of thousands of years to their cultivation.
A few dozen wisps of origin.
That was the collection the Lin Clan had treasured over endless ages, and Lin Dong was already giving a generous estimate.
He thought that Lin Fan was merely at the Spirit Sea Realm, so it should be enough, right? He probably would not even use it all.
It was an extravagant offer.
But who could have known that Lin Fan's next words would greatly shock both Lin Dong and Ji Ningshuang?
Lin Fan smiled helplessly. "Not enough. I need more than two jin!"
Lin Dong exclaimed in shock, "What?"
He had never heard of anyone measuring it by the jin. A few dozen wisps of origin were enough to burst a Great Emperor and open up a large secret realm, yet that was not enough for Lin Fan to open up a single Spirit Sea?
"Father, if you don't believe me, you can check!"
Lin Fan could not even be bothered to explain. After all, he had not believed it himself earlier. He might as well have his father see for himself.
Awakening the Chaos Gods and Devils Body and cultivating the Chaos Scripture did make him powerful. At the Pill Condensation Realm, he was confident he could cross an entire major realm and slay someone at the Heavenly Dipper Realm.
But being powerful meant that breakthroughs were difficult!
Lin Dong and Ji Ningshuang extended their divine senses into Lin Fan's Spirit Sea and were instantly shocked. "Hiss! Such an enormous Spirit Sea?!"
They had never seen such an enormous Spirit Sea. Even the Spirit Seas they had opened up back then, as mighty Great Emperors, were like lakes before Lin Fan's.
A Spirit Sea comparable to the universe?
An ordinary cultivator's Spirit Sea was, at most, a pond. A genius's was like a lake, and a monstrous prodigy's was like an ocean.
Yet Lin Fan's Spirit Sea was as vast as the universe. How terrifying!
