Without surprise, the news that the ancient ancestor of the Lin family was about to return from the Upper Realm quickly spread throughout the entire Central Heavenly Domain.
In fact, with the Lin family's deliberate efforts to fan the flames, the news quickly spread to other regions.
It could be said that on this day, the entire Central Heavenly Domain was in an uproar!
Countless cultivators and powers were stunned.
The Lin family's ancestor, what kind of existence was that?
Thirty thousand years ago, he was a Void God Realm powerhouse who broke the void and ascended to the Upper Realm.
He was actually coming back?
The shockwave caused by such news was unimaginably intense.
Countless people could not sit still.
Especially the many hegemonic powers on the Zhongzhou Mainland, who immediately dispatched spies to verify the truth of the news.
Originally, the turmoil caused by the gathering of talents from various regions for the Dao Discussion Conference had been suppressed.
Now, countless cultivators were focused on this one event.
Soon, a series of actions taken by the ancient Lin family further confirmed the authenticity of the news.
Numerous Lin family members were rushing back to the Lin family, seemingly to wait for the ancestor's return.
Many astute individuals connected this to a recent rumor from the Eastern Wilderness, about a young person descending from the Lower Realm.
At first, many had thought it was just a rumor.
But now...
Many began to waver.
Could the return of the Lin family's ancestor be related to this rumor?
The Great Xia Dynasty, the Jialou Sacred Land, the Yin-Yang Sacred Land, and other hegemonic forces also sent their members to visit the Lin family and inquire about the matter.
As powers whose ancestors had also ascended to the Upper Realm, they were very eager to understand the situation and learn about their ancestors' whereabouts.
In no time, the entire Zhongzhou Mainland was filled with hidden tensions and undercurrents.
At this moment, an extraordinarily luxurious flying vessel sped through the sky, heading toward the Central Heavenly Domain.
Many young elites from the Eastern Wilderness had already been greeted by their sect's people and had left halfway.
Gu Changge and Su Qingge were traveling together with Elder Ming, heading back to the family that he had once founded.
...
"Ancestor returning from the Upper Realm?"
"The ancient Lin family?"
"That's actually a good place for me to go."
"What a pity..."
In an ancient city of Zhongzhou,
A young man with a determined face and a copper ring on his hand stopped for a moment upon hearing the news. But then, a flash of hatred appeared in his eyes as he thought of something.
This was Ye Chen, who had traveled from the Eastern Wilderness to Zhongzhou.
On his journey, not only had his injuries healed completely,
But he had also gained numerous opportunities, breaking through to the Realm of Divine Power.
Additionally, he had befriended the Holy Son of the Jialou Sacred Land, and the two had quickly become sworn brothers.
It could be said that he had completely shaken off the disgrace and despair he had once felt in the Eastern Wilderness.
"The ancient family is deeply rooted. You have many secrets now, so it's better not to go there. Otherwise, you will inevitably be discovered."
At this moment, a cold voice came from within the ring.
Yan Ji, wearing a red dress, was meditating in the void. Hearing Ye Chen's mutterings, she couldn't help but advise him.
Though she still had reservations about Ye Chen after the recent events,
His continuous apologies had softened her heart, and she was no longer willing to berate him.
However, no matter how she advised him to let go of his hatred toward Gu Changge, Ye Chen paid no heed and even suspected her motives.
This left Yan Ji feeling helpless.
"Master is right. I still have important matters to attend to, so I definitely won't be going to the Lin family."
Ye Chen said, lowering his gaze to the broken ancient page in his hand.
This was an ancient fragment he had stumbled upon at a small stall. It seemed to record a location of an ancient relic.
After days of deciphering, he discovered that the relic was not far from the ancient city where he was currently located.
"That relic hasn't been discovered by anyone yet. There must be many opportunities hidden there. When I break through to the Great Power Realm, I'll be able to fight against Holy Lord-level beings. At that time, Gu Changge, Su Qingge, you two bastards…"
Ye Chen thought about this and couldn't help but reveal a cold smile.
In his eyes, no matter how strong Gu Changge was, he was still at the Holy Lord level.
Once he broke through to the Great Power Realm, with his unparalleled talent, dealing with someone like Gu Changge, who had been nurtured with pills and heavenly treasures since childhood, would be more than enough.
Not to mention, Ye Chen had experienced numerous battles, and he was certainly not the same as a pampered genius like Gu Changge.
With that thought, Ye Chen strode away from the ancient city and headed toward the direction of the relic.
...
At the same time,
In a separate courtyard of the Lin family, a seemingly ordinary and cold-faced young man was refining medicine.
He held a fan in his hand, gently fanning the medicinal cauldron, controlling the size of the flame.
"The refining of the Gu Yuan Spirit Pill still lacks three ingredients. How did I, a dignified God King, end up in such a pitiful state, unable to even gather medicinal materials? My body is so weak."
The young man was none other than Lin Tian, murmuring to himself as a hint of coldness appeared on his face.
Then he shook his head and said, "Forget it. Since I've been granted a second life, why bother thinking so much?"
"The current plan is to first restore my body. The foundation of this body is really poor; it isn't even at the Spiritual Sea Realm."
Thinking back to his boast that he would break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm in half a day, he now found himself troubled by the lack of medicinal materials.
Lin Tian couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
It wasn't his fault.
"As a direct descendant of the ancient Lin family, I can't even get my hands on the materials for refining medicine. Looks like my status in this family is really not much..."
"Not only am I bullied, mocked, and looked down upon, but I can't even ask for a few medicinal materials…"
Thinking about how those people had stared at him in disbelief when he asked for materials earlier, Lin Tian felt a wave of anger rise in his heart.
Although he was a God King, he was still looked down upon and doubted wherever he went, which made him very displeased.
If he had powerful strength, he would have slapped those people to death.
But to be ridiculed for something as simple as refining pills? Being told that he didn't know how to do it and that he was wasting materials, just to mock him?
This thought made Lin Tian's face grow darker.
A dignified God King, yet he had to endure such humiliation?
At this moment, footsteps came from the courtyard gate.
Two people entered, a young man and a young woman, both around fourteen or fifteen years old.
The young man looked at Lin Tian, who was still refining medicine, and couldn't help but frown.
"The family head has summoned all the clan members to pay respects to the ancestor. Lin Tian, what are you still doing here?"
"You? Still refining pills? Are you dreaming? Before you do that, you should at least learn how to cultivate properly, don't you think?"
The young woman beside him sneered as well.
A person who couldn't even focus on cultivating properly was suddenly trying to refine medicine.
In their eyes, Lin Tian had either gone mad or was just acting foolish.
Although he was the family head's least favored son, he was still a direct bloodline.
Such a ceremony for meeting the ancestor couldn't be skipped by him.
These words made Lin Tian's face darken even further.
In his past life, he was a God King,
And no matter where he went, he was revered by countless people.
Meeting the ancestor?
What is that? Did he deserve to?
"I heard that when the ancestor returns this time, there's a young lord by his side. His status is so terrifying that even the ancestor treats him with great respect..."
"Yeah, that young lord's background is simply unimaginable..."
The two of them didn't notice Lin Tian's expression and continued chatting on their own.
