Chapter 30

For a moment, the hall was so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard; everyone had lost the desire to speak! Lin Zheng took a long time to calm down before he asked in a hoarse voice, "Uncle, what happened next?"

"Later, someone finally couldn't bear the torment and made the first move. In fact, all of this was just on the surface! We all knew that the Destruction Path, the Heaven-Mixing Path, and the Void Path were the ones secretly manipulating things. They appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, they had long been preparing to use others to kill us. They used the factions that couldn't resist making the first move as cannon fodder, and when we were exhausted and our strength weakened, they would capture us all at once! But they still underestimated your elder brother!"

"My elder brother? What happened to him?"

"Your elder brother is definitely a world-renowned genius no less than your father!" As he said this, Lin Zheng noticed that everyone's eyes were filled with an indescribable pride! After a pause, Lin Chu continued, "Your elder brother has been through countless battles and life-and-death situations over thousands of years. He actually achieved enlightenment in the midst of battle in front of countless enemies. After that, his abilities were on par with the great sages and virtuous ones, and he controlled the entire battlefield, severely injuring the people of the three factions and slaying countless intruders! He then engaged in continuous battles with the leaders of the Destruction Path, the Heaven-Mixing Path, and the Void Path. The battles lasted for several days, almost creating a hole in the Heavenly Realm. However, in the end, the four of them mysteriously disappeared!" As he said this, Lin Chu's expression darkened.

"What? My elder brother, he, he..." Lin Zheng's face turned pale, and he stood there as if he had lost his soul.

"Don't worry, Xiao Zheng. Your third grandfather deduced that Lin Ao is not in mortal danger. However, his fate is like that of a proud dragon trapped in a deep pool, or he might be in a coma, and he is somewhere on this continent!"

"What? My elder brother is on this wilderness? Where is he? Is this why everyone came down?"

"We can't pinpoint his exact location. You need to understand that our power is greatly suppressed after coming down from the Heavenly Realm. We can only maintain the peak power of this continent at most! Moreover, there is a reason we can't use our power. Once we do, we will be forced back to the Heavenly Realm and cause significant trouble!"

"Hmm?" Lin Zheng was quite puzzled!

"Ah, we'll talk about this later. You don't need to know these things now. We'll discuss them in detail when you reach the Heavenly Realm in the future! We came down this time for two reasons: to find your elder brother and to find you! After your elder brother disappeared, the Lin and Yue families did not return to their former peace. The temptation of the Third Realm was too great, and it eventually attracted some old monsters, even many ancient immortals who had not been seen for ages! Just as the Lin and Yue families faced their greatest crisis, your father appeared, and with his overwhelming power, he killed three ancient greats, intimidating everyone. Before he disappeared, he left a message: 'The matters of the Lin and Yue families will be settled by our descendants in the future. Remember, I can project my image once, and I can do it again. Don't force me to return personally!'"

"Your father's words protected the Lin and Yue families until today!"

"Father, he is that powerful?" Lin Zheng's mouth was dry, and a surge of passion filled his body, making him want to roar to the sky to vent his joy!

"However, the situation of the Lin and Yue families is still not optimistic. People are wary of your father and dare not openly attack us, but they are blocking us from all directions, whether in trade or other aspects of life. We are now facing obstacles everywhere! And there is even worse news: many of the powerful figures who left tens of thousands of years ago are gradually returning! Among them are our allies and our enemies. Moreover, with the existence of the treasure of the Third Realm, we will face even greater crises after these powerful figures awaken. So, your third grandfather divined, and the true hope of the two families lies in you and your elder brother!"

"Your elder brother, with his formidable cultivation, can greatly intimidate those with evil intentions! And you, you bear the responsibility for the prosperity of the Lin and Yue families?" Lin Chu said solemnly.

"Me? No way! Could there be some secret about me?" Lin Zheng asked in surprise.

"Don't forget, you are the living dictionary of our two families!" Lin Chu said with a half-smile.

"Heh!" Lin Zheng seemed to recall his childhood and smiled awkwardly. "Wait, could it be about our family's texts!" Lin Zheng thought of a very bad answer!

"Ah, that's right. Ten thousand years ago, to avoid being plundered by villains, except for a small part that was taken away, the rest disappeared with the small black room!" Lin Chu's face darkened. The Lin and Yue families now faced a situation where they had no cultivation methods to practice, and they could only follow the cultivation of their elders, greatly limiting the development of the next generation. The once powerful families had come to such a state!

"What about my elder sister, Yue Zhan, and Xiao Ran?"

"They are now in the Heavenly Realm taking care of the family. Your sister Xiao Ran is cultivating in the Ghost Realm! However, the Heavenly Realm has now become relatively peaceful. After ten thousand years of recovery, the various families have recovered and are brewing even greater turmoil! The Western Heavenly Realm and our Eastern Heavenly Realm are evenly matched. The major powers in our Eastern Heavenly Realm balance each other, and the Western deities also check each other. The Heavenly Realm is relatively peaceful now!"

"Why am I here?"

"It's still because of your father. When you were unconscious, the Ghost Lord left the Ghost Realm to find your father. Soon after, the Ghost Lord returned with your father, but even your father couldn't wake you up. He had to use a great technique to put you into a deep sleep and send you to the lower realm! Your father said that the Three Lives Stone exists on the wilderness continent, and when you wake up, it can help you find yourself again! However, no one knew where you were, and your father left in a hurry, and the Ghost Lord also left with him. For hundreds of years, we couldn't find you!"

"Until a few years ago, your third grandfather mysteriously divined your location. After much discussion, we all came to the lower realm, bringing these children. Your third grandfather divined that this realm would help them grow quickly! After we paid a huge price to come down, we arrived at the foot of Wu Kong Mountain and were preparing to find you when we encountered an ancestor of our clan. He told us to settle here, and three years ago, we found you in a cave in the Ten Thousand Mountains!"

"Later, when you woke up, you indeed forgot everything. We originally wanted to influence you gradually in our daily life to help you regain your lost memories. However, after so many days, you still showed no change. The ancestor told us not to directly hint at your past, fearing that something might happen to you! Later, the ancestor informed us that the Three Lives Stone might be in the Ten Thousand Mountains, so we arranged for you to go up the mountain and participate in the sect's annual assessment. We have been waiting for this day for three whole years!"

"You don't know why I appeared in the Ten Thousand Mountains? If I had been in the mountains for ten thousand years, why didn't I change at all?"

"We don't know that either."

"Who is our ancestor? Has he been protecting me for ten thousand years?"

"You'll have to ask him when you meet him."

"What does the ancestor look like?"

"He wears a tattered green robe and has a carefree demeanor!"

Lin Zheng's scalp tingled. A tattered green robe? And the hesitation in his uncle's voice, carefree? A lecherous old face instantly appeared in Lin Zheng's mind! Could the old man be my ancestor? This can't be possible! Lin Zheng tried to push away the familiar face he had known for three years!

"What's wrong, Xiao Zheng? Have you seen him before?"

"Um, maybe it was a coincidence. I'm not sure!"

"Alright, we'll talk about this later. Rest for a while and digest what I've told you. We can discuss the details later. Let's have a good gathering tonight!"

After Lin Chu finished speaking, he and the others left. Lin Zheng sat alone, quietly organizing his thoughts. After a long time, he took a deep breath, rubbed his slightly swollen head, and thought that many things couldn't be rushed and had to be done step by step. Lin Zheng temporarily put everything aside, got up to stretch, and walked out of the hall.

Outside, the sun was setting, and the sound of hammering from a forge in the distance was particularly pleasant. His third grandfather was playing with a turtle shell under a tree, leisurely drinking tea. His third aunt and his mother-in-law were picking vegetables to prepare dinner, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles. The children were happily playing in the square. When the children saw Lin Zheng, they ran over to him. Lin Zheng picked up a chubby little girl and kissed her cheek, saying, "Xuan Xuan, why haven't you grown up yet?"

"Daddy said I ate too many spirit medicines and couldn't digest them, so I stayed this way. But now I'm very powerful!" the little girl said in a sweet voice.

"Brother Lin Zheng, Kong Kong and Tian Tian are also very powerful! But it seems we will take a long time to grow up too!" the two children said, hugging Lin Zheng's legs.

Lin Zheng hugged the two children, feeling particularly cheerful. However, he didn't doubt what the children said because when he picked them up, he felt a mysterious power in their bodies.

Seemingly sensing Lin Zheng's surprise, a man about the same age as Lin Zheng spoke up, "Third Brother, in the Third Realm, there was a time when there was no food to eat, so these children had to consume a large amount of pills. However, it seems that the pills underwent some changes in the Third Realm. Xuan Xuan and the others gained some additional abilities, and a mysterious power was born within them. These abilities are extremely powerful, and if you're caught off guard, you might suffer a great loss. That's why we brought them down."

Lin Zheng looked at the man who spoke. This was Lin Dao, Lin Zheng's cousin. His lean figure was as sharp as a long knife, and there seemed to be a hint of blade light in his eyes. When he looked at Lin Zheng, his eyes were filled with joy. Lin Zheng walked up and hugged Lin Dao tightly. Childhood friends meeting again, both were very excited. Lin Zheng's other brothers also came forward to hug him, and everyone was filled with joy.

Lin Zheng was very happy, extremely happy, and showed a mouthful of white teeth, momentarily dazzling everyone's eyes!
