Invincibility starts from waking up

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Realms, everyone is martial, and the strong are respected.

Those with high levels of cultivation are so powerful that they can move mountains with the wave of their hands, fill the sea with a flip of their hands, and travel in the stars. The strongest ones can even become immortal physically and live as long as the sky...

…

Eastern China.

Yunyang City is a small border town in Yanyang County, famous for its proximity to the Yunyang Mountains.

The Lin family was particularly lively on August 15th, and everyone gathered at the Martial Arts Square in front of the Lin Mansion.

Every year on this day, the Lin family holds a coming-of-age ceremony here for the children who have reached the age of sixteen, and at the same time, they test the achievements of the younger generations in their cultivation over the years.

Therefore, this is also a day for the younger generation of the Lin family to bloom.

As one of the three major forces in Yunyang City, the coming-of-age ceremony of the Lin family is definitely a grand event in Yunyang City, and big figures from other forces will also be invited to attend the ceremony.

Because today, young people who perform well enough here will basically become famous figures in Yunyang City in the future.

There are dozens of new generations under the age of twenty in the Lin family. Among them, Lin Ao, the grandson of the eldest elder of the Lin family, Lin Hong, the grandson of the third elder, and Lin Muyu, the apple of Lin Longxiao's eye, the head of the Lin family, are the most famous.

Among them, Lin Ao, the grandson of the elder of the Lin family, is eighteen years old. He is practicing in the inner courtyard of Yanyang Academy in Yanyang City. He is among the best. He is famous throughout Yanyang County and is the idol of the younger generation of the Lin family. .

Lin Hong and Lin Muyu will both hold coming-of-age ceremonies today, which is the biggest highlight of this ceremony.

certainly.

In addition to the three of them, there is also a young man in the Lin family that no one knows, who also comes of age today.

This person is Lin Tian, ​​the son of Lin Longxiao, the head of the Lin family.

The reason why Lin Tian is famous is not that he has shown extraordinary aptitude since childhood like the previous three, but because he is a fool.

There are even rumors that Lin Longxiao took him out of a monster lair in the Yunyang Mountains.

Under the influence of many public opinions, he also became a famous figure in Yunyang City.

"If the sky doesn't tolerate me, I will destroy the sky. If the earth cannot save me, I will crush the earth. So what about gods and immortals? They are just ants under my feet, hahaha..."

In the martial arts square, there was a burst of wild laughter, which made people's blood boil with excitement.

But the Lin family was quite speechless when they heard these words.

Looking around, I saw a young man with disheveled hair, looking like a beggar, looking at the sky, his eyes empty, and laughing crazily.

This person is none other than the famous lunatic Lin Tian.

The words just now came from his mouth.

Next to Lin Tian, ​​stood a beautiful girl. Seeing Lin Tian start talking nonsense again, she couldn't help but pull his sleeves worriedly, and whispered: "Brother, many people are watching, you promise me, don't Is it okay to talk nonsense?"

"Hehehe, okay, okay..."

Lin Tian nodded with a silly smile, and the expression on his delicate face remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Lin Muyu knew it when she saw this, but Lin Tian didn't listen and couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Tian has been suffering from this disease since she was a child, and her IQ is lower than that of a three-year-old child. For this reason, her father even spared no expense and invited all the famous doctors from Yanyang County. In the end, they could not solve the problem and just gave him a prescription. Order a tranquilizer and have someone give it to him when he goes crazy.

"Lin Hong!"

On the martial arts stage not far away, the voice of the second elder of the Lin family instantly attracted everyone's attention and pushed the atmosphere of the ceremony to a climax.

On the high platform, Lin Longxiao was sitting at the top, his face expressionless, not angry but powerful.

On his left and right sides, two old men in green clothes sat respectively.

Seeing a sixteen-year-old, handsome young man wearing a white robe, jumping vigorously on the martial arts stage, the third elder on the right stroked his white beard and said with a smile on his face: "Last time I took Hong'er privately By the time of the final test, he had already reached the seventh level of Qi Gathering, and I don’t know how much progress he can make in the past two months.”

"Seventh level of Qi gathering?"

Hearing this, everyone nearby couldn't help but look sideways and showed surprise. Even Lin Longxiao, who was as steady as a mountain, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Heaven and earth have spirits, and everything has spirits.

If you want to practice cultivation, the first step is to sense the elusive spiritual energy in the world, and then use appropriate techniques to collect them and turn them into your own use.

This step is called Qi gathering by the world.

According to the strength of the cyclone, the Qi gathering realm is divided into nine levels.

The stronger the talent, the better the skills you practice, and the faster you can gather energy.

Being able to cultivate to the seventh level of Qi Gathering at the age of sixteen is definitely considered a rare genius in Yunyang City.

What's more, this was the result two months ago.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be a place for him, Lin Hong, in Yunyang City in the future.

"Congratulations to the Lin family for having another genius..."

Next to him, the head of the Wang family raised his hands in congratulations and smiled a little reluctantly.

The others also followed suit.

But most people are not sincere, because the stronger the Lin family, the weaker their status in Yunyang City.

Hearing the congratulations from everyone, whether it was false or not, the third elder's face burst into smiles.

He looked at Lin Tian and Lin Muyu in the audience, and said modestly: "My Hong'er is nothing, but the children of the Long Xiao family are all geniuses, especially Lin Tian, ​​who has great ambitions. There will definitely be great achievements in the future.”

After hearing this, everyone's expressions became strange.

Lin Muyu is not bad in talent. Everyone knows that she is a famous genius girl. It is said that she is at least at the sixth level of Qi gathering. Coupled with her natural beauty, she has the potential to conquer a country at a young age. It is Yun The dream lover in the hearts of countless teenagers in Yangcheng.

But then Lin Tian...

Haha, who doesn’t know that this is a fool?

The grand ambitions he talked about were completely crazy words, and no one took them seriously. How could the third elder of the Lin family not know this?

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Lin Longxiao. When they saw his face was gloomy and a little ugly, they instantly understood.

Sure enough, as rumored by the outside world, there was no harmony between the elders of the Lin family and the head of the family during this period.

As for the reason, almost everyone knows it.

It was just that Lin Longxiao was looking for medicine for Lin Tian outside, but in the end he offended a big force. Not only was he injured, losing half of his strength, but he also implicated the family, losing more than half of the Lin family's heritage over the years, and this was still looking at it. In other people's face, the matter can be considered settled.

As a result, the powerful elders of the Lin family were naturally unhappy.

After all, the family's things belong to everyone, not to Lin Longxiao alone. Who can bear to see him paying out more than half of it for his son?

No, just yesterday, several elders headed by the great elder were working together to impeach Lin Longxiao as the head of the family, trying to oust him from the throne.

It's just that Lin Longxiao's position was decided by the strongest person in the Lin family and the only Supreme Elder. Now that he has closed his eyes to death, no one dares to disturb him, so Lin Longxiao's position as head of the family is still stable for the time being. .

"Third Elder, you are so humble. My Tian'er and Mu Yu are not as good as your Lin Hong."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Longxiao glanced at the third elder coldly and said calmly, ignoring the sarcasm in his words.

When the third elder heard this, he smiled, a trace of pride flashed on his face, and he cast his gaze on Lin Hong on the martial arts stage. A trace of sneer flashed in his eyes and he remained silent.

"Come on, Lin Hong, let's take a test..."

The second elder looked at Lin Hong with a kind expression, pointed to the black stone tablet about one foot high next to the martial arts stage, and said with a smile.

This black stone tablet is called the Spirit-Gathering Monument. It is made of a special type of ore produced in China and can test the strength of the Qi-Gathering Realm monks. Although it is expensive, any family with a little bit of strength will always have one.

After hearing the second elder's words, Lin Hong took a step forward, with a smile on his handsome face.

"Then I'll show my shame, kid..."

After Lin Hong finished speaking, he pressed his hand towards the Spirit Gathering Monument. At that moment, a suction force came from the stone monument, sucking all the spiritual energy from his body.

Lin Hong's expression remained unchanged, as if he was accustomed to this scene.

boom!

The next moment, the dark Spirit Gathering Monument trembled violently, and then the light shone brightly. The dark body of the monument gradually turned into emerald green, crystal clear, like a piece of fine jade.

Only the top of the stele was left with a wisp of black.

"So strong..."

A flash of surprise flashed in Lin Muyu's eyes.

Even Lin Tian next to him couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly when he saw this scene.

"Ninth Level of Qi Gathering..."

Many big shots in Yunyang City stared wide-eyed. Looking at this scene, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They didn't expect that this Lin Hong was so talented. Judging from the test of the Spirit Gathering Monument, only One step away from entering the body refining realm and becoming a true monk.

"This Lin family, after Lin Ao, has another evildoer..."

The head of the Wang family and others couldn't help but look solemn, feeling a pressure in their hearts.

If this situation continues, it won't be long before the so-called three pillars of Yunyang City will become the dominant one in the Lin family.

"Hahaha, last time I found a second-grade elixir, Purple Spirit Grass, on the outskirts of the Yunyang Mountains. I thought it would be good if he could break through to the eighth level of Qi gathering after taking it, but I didn't expect this kid to be so up to date. I have broken through to the ninth level of Qi Gathering."

Seeing the shocked people, the third elder laughed loudly, the pride in his heart clearly showing on his face.

"very nice."

The second elder stroked his beard, smiled and nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Lin Hong, do you have anyone you want to challenge?"

Challenge is the most critical part of the Lin family's coming-of-age ceremony.

Today's adult Lin family disciples have the opportunity to challenge anyone.

As long as you are strong enough, you can challenge Lin Longxiao.

And those who are challenged cannot refuse.

Hearing the words of the second elder, Lin Hong seemed to have been prepared. He looked around, paused at Lin Muyu, and finally jumped to Lin Tian next to him.

"I want to challenge...Lin Tian!"

Lin Hong slowly raised his hand, pointed at Lin Tian, ​​and said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, the whole place was in an uproar.

The next second, Lin Longxiao, who was sitting on the high platform, couldn't help shouting: "Lin Hong, what are you doing?!"

Looking at the gloomy Lin Longxiao, Lin Hong showed no fear on his face. He bent slightly towards him, saluted, and then smiled slightly: "Uncle, according to the family rules, I have the right to challenge anyone in the family. In the Lin family, who I don’t know, Brother Tian is so heroic? I, Lin Hong, have long admired me, and I just took the opportunity to learn a lesson today..."

When Lin Longxiao heard this, his face became extremely gloomy. The hand he placed on the Taishi's chair was clenched tightly, with faint blue veins popping out. He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

Who in the entire Yunyang City doesn't know that Lin Tian has never practiced at all. If he challenges him, isn't this bullying?

The key is that the Lin family has another rule.

That is, private fights are not allowed in private, but on the martial arts stage, it doesn't matter life or death. As long as you don't admit defeat, even if you die on top, your elders will not be held accountable.

Although Lin Longxiao believed that Lin Hong was not bold enough to kill Lin Tian, ​​he could still do things like severing Lin Tian's hands and feet, seriously injuring him and humiliating him.

"How about it, Lin Tian, ​​do you dare to accept my challenge?"

Lin Hong pointed at Lin Tian and said provocatively with an arrogant expression.

Lin Longxiao clenched his fists and stared at the third elder next to him.

The three elders ignored Lin Longxiao's angry gaze and looked at Lin Tian in the audience with amusement, sneering in their hearts.

He wanted to see how Lin Longxiao, a father, would look after being stepped on and humiliated by his grandson in front of so many people.

I don't know if he will still have the face to continue sitting as the head of the Lin family.

The big shots in Yunyang City who were invited to attend this ceremony also looked at Lin Longxiao with strange expressions, with a hint of amusement. I didn't expect to see such an interesting scene when I came to the Lin family today. It was really worthwhile. OK.
