Lin Yuan was still cultivating.
When his mother, Shen Zhen, dragged him out of his room. Your journey continues at empire
"Chang Er, I’m taking you to a good place," said Mother Shen Zhen with a hint of mystery in her voice.
Lin Yuan felt quite helpless in his heart.
The two of them went outside.
Father Lin Jianping had been waiting for a long time.
His face was full of solemnity.
"This time we are going to the Martial Temple," he said.
"Chang Er, once you’re there, you must not cause any trouble," Lin Jianping instructed.
Although the Martial Tao Cultivation System was far less influential than the Immortal Cultivation System.
In Xianyao City, the Martial Temple was the only heaven, controlling everything, commanding everything.
Even looking across the Xuanwang Domain, the Martial Temple was one of the most powerful forces under the banner of the Morality Immortal Sect, with several Seventh Stage Martial Tao individuals whose combat power was not the least bit inferior to ordinary Unity Realm True Immortals.
"The Martial Temple?"
Lin Yuan’s heart stirred slightly.
He had long speculated that the Martial Temple must have been established by the disciples he had taken on in the past, such as Li Qing and others.
Its purpose was to ensure the heritage of the Martial Tao Cultivation System.
The center of Xianyao City.
The towering Xiaoyao Mountain.
This was the location of the Martial Temple, the very heart of the entire Xianyao City.
Those Seventh Stage Martial Tao founders of the Martial Temple were often at war for the Morality Immortal Sect, and the strongest within the Martial Temple were only at the Sixth Stage Martial Tao, but that was enough to look down upon the entire Xianyao City.
Among tens of thousands of cities in the Xuanwang Domain, Xianyao City ranked in the top hundred.
And that was because of the presence of the Martial Temple.
A spirit vessel flew near.
Lin Jianping, Lin Yuan, and the others stepped out.
"Elder of the Martial Temple, my son wishes to experience the Martial Ancestor’s Divine Radiance..." Lin Jianping pulled out a token.
It was bronze in color, with the character ’Martial’ written on it.
"Go ahead," said the guards at the entrance to Xiaoyao Mountain after scanning the token, they opened the Great Formation.
Seeing this, Lin Jianping once again thanked them and then led Lin Yuan and Shen Zhen inside.
"Another one using connections," the guards sneered after Lin Jianping and the others had disappeared.
Ever since the establishment of Xianyao City, every so often, many would come to experience the Martial Ancestor’s Divine Radiance.
Among these people, a very small portion came because of their astonishing Martial Talent and were invited by the Martial Temple to experience the Divine Radiance.
But the majority were there to ’freeload’ the Divine Radiance.
The higher-ups of the Martial Temple did not interfere with this, first, because it contributed to the income of the Martial Temple, and second, because it had no impact on themselves.
Once the Martial Ancestor’s Divine Radiance was activated, the Divine Radiance would envelop the area for a fixed time, prioritizing those disciples with astonishing Martial Talent to experience it first.
They would go first, and then the rest would follow.
"Having connections also requires strength to use those connections," sighed another guard.
"To experience the guidance of the Martial Ancestor’s Divine Radiance, indirectly receiving the guidance of a Martial Tao expert on a par with True Immortals, wouldn’t you want that?" said the guard, shaking his head.
"Of course, I would," replied the first guard after a moment of silence, admitting the truth.
The guidance of a powerful figure was too important.
Especially since the Martial Ancestor’s Divine Radiance not only provided guidance but could also determine the aspects of Martial Tao the experiencer excelled in.
At first glance, Lin Yuan saw a massive mountain peak, with thin strands of aura scattered throughout the air, clearly indicating that outsiders daring to intrude would be suppressed by forces from all around the very first moment.
"Combining Martial Tao methods with Immortal Dao formations, this is interesting," Lin Yuan observed, discerning much of the essence of Xiaoyao Mountain with just a glance.
"Chang Er, don’t look around so much," Lin Jianping saw Lin Yuan’s gaze and quickly reminded him.
Inside Xiaoyao Mountain, figures from the Martial Temple would pass by from time to time. If Lin Yuan’s gaze attracted the attention of one of these prominent individuals, it would be an unwarranted disaster.
The group followed the path and soon arrived at a teleportation formation.
Given the vastness of Xiaoyao Mountain, reaching the Martial Temple at the summit would take at least half a day, so there were usually teleportation arrays at the foot of the mountain.
With an indication from a Martial Temple disciple.
Lin Yuan and the other two stepped into the teleportation formation and in a flash, arrived at the summit.
"There are quite a few people here," Shen Zhen curiously looked around.
She noticed many people gathered in small groups, conversing in low tones.
In the distance, a massive wall stood erect: that was where the Martial Ancestor’s Divine Radiance was activated.
It was currently in a closed state, and no one was allowed to enter.
"It’s not just us who have come to experience the Martial Ancestor’s Divine Radiance. Xianyao City is so big, many powerful families send their scions whenever the Martial Ancestor’s Divine Radiance is activated," Lin Jianping said in a low voice.
The Lin Family was only somewhat well-known in Xianyao City, which was nothing compared to the real power players.
For Lin Yuan to experience the Martial Ancestor’s Divine Radiance just once, the Lin Family had to spend nearly all of its wealth, but for those real power players, sending a group of clan members to experience it was routine every time it was activated.
Lin Yuan just listened at the side.
Most of his attention, however, was concentrated beyond that wall.
"Martial Ancestor’s Divine Radiance?"
Lin Yuan had some guesses in his mind. Before leaving the Central Divine China World, he had left behind seven statues with engravings of brief insights into Martial Tao.
As Lin Yuan pondered.
The large doors in the center of the distant huge wall slowly opened.
An elderly man in a black robe walked out.
"The Martial Ancestor’s Divine Radiance will soon envelop us. Those whose names are called, enter and experience," the black-robed elder said succinctly and directly.
The black-robed elder called out again.
"It’s me," a young man stood up, striding into the door.
"Experience it well," the black-robed elder showed appreciation and advised.
