To prevent the old ancestor of the Lin Family from becoming as uncontrollable as he had been earlier in his excitement, Lin Jing hurriedly said to him:

“Old Ancestor, please don’t get excited. Let me finish telling you…”

After that, the old ancestor of the Lin Family managed to calm his emotions and then nodded his head. Since that previous sentence, the remnant soul of the Lin Family’s old ancestor had wanted to ask something.

However, following Lin Jing’s reminder, he still resisted the impulse to ask.

Then, Lin Jing continued:

“I was born in the Nanming Domain, in a sect called the Qingyuan Sword Sect, and I was just a minor spirit farmer.”

“Before this, I had never heard of the Lin Family…”

…

…

And so, Lin Jing began to recount his own life story.

Of course.

Lin Jing did not delve too deeply, merely providing a general introduction to his experiences and only went so far as to mention how he obtained the secret box from Senior Han, which contained some past events of the Lin Family.

Even the matter of the transmission, Lin Jing merely mentioned it in passing.

However, upon hearing these things, the remnant soul of the Lin Family’s old ancestor underwent a tremendous change in expression.

“Are you saying that this place is actually still Immortal Crossing Island…”

“Yes, Old Ancestor.” Lin Jing nodded and said.

However, after this sentence, the old ancestor of the Lin Family seemed to have heard a thunderbolt from a clear sky, and it took him a long time to react.

It was not until a good while later that the old ancestor of the Lin Family came to his senses.

Afterward, the entire person had remained silent for quite some time before finally lifting his head again.

At this moment, there seemed to be a kind of irrepressible desolation in his eyes.

“Even our Lin Family has ultimately declined…” the old ancestor of the Lin Family murmured to himself.

“Thinking back then…”

At this point, the old ancestor of the Lin Family’s eyes dimmed, and he did not continue any further.

Seeing him in such a state, Lin Jing couldn’t help but become curious about the past of the Lin Family and quickly asked:

“Old Ancestor, could you tell me about the Lin Family’s affairs?”

The old ancestor of the Lin Family looked up at Lin Jing, nodded his head, and then began to speak:

“Regardless, you are a descendant of our Lin Family. It is indeed right for you to know about our Lin Family’s past.”

“Our Lin Family is an ancient alchemy lineage dynasty that has survived for millions of years…”

Following that, the old ancestor of the Lin Family began to recount the past to Lin Jing.

However, his first sentence already shocked Lin Jing deeply.

When Lin Jing encountered Lin’s alchemy techniques, he indeed thought that the Lin Family possessed the inheritance of alchemy techniques, but he never expected that the Lin Family was actually a lineage that traced back to the ancients.

One must know, the Ancient Alchemy Path could even increase the success rate of Pure Elixir Medicine.

Leaving other things aside, just considering the inheritance that spanned millions of years, the Lin Family was destined to be extraordinary.

……

After the narration of the old ancestor of the Lin Family, Lin Jing also gradually came to understand the full picture of the Lin Family, even including the decline of the Lin Family.

The Lin Family had existed since ancient times, and back then, they were merely a small alchemy family, quite inconspicuous within that glorious ancient era.

It was precisely because of the Lin Family’s insignificance that they, always low-profile and hidden from the world, managed to survive the catastrophe that swept across the entire cultivation world during the ancient times.

After the catastrophe, many long-standing top-level sects and powerhouse families declined, whereas small, hidden families like the Lin Family were preserved and passed down from generation to generation.

Maybe it was due to envy from the heavens, or perhaps limitations imposed by the rules of nature and earth, but neither the imperial dynasties of the world nor those super sect families could eternally thrive and not deteriorate.

The Lin Family was naturally no exception…

In the times that followed, the Lin Family also emerged to become a super power and had experienced several falls, returning to being an inconspicuous small family again.

But, no matter what, the Lin Family was always able to maintain an unbroken lineage…

Until ten thousand years ago, the Lin Family truly encountered a crisis of extinction.

Perhaps it was because the Lin Family had existed for too long and incurred the wrath of the heavens, which brought down a heavenly calamity upon them.

Within less than a thousand years, the Lin Family rapidly declined from an extremely powerful clan…

This time, it was even more severe than before.

Those long-renowned and top-tier cultivators of the Lin Family either went mad from practicing their cultivation techniques or unfortunately perished while out and about.

And those extraordinarily talented prodigies were the same, either dying at the hands of enemies or mysteriously disappearing.

Only those disciples of mediocre aptitude happened to survive quite well…

The Lin Family searched for all kinds of methods but to no avail.

During the decline of the Lin Family, this old ancestor encountered betrayal by a friend and was ambushed by his friend in collusion with outsiders, who wanted to seize the Lin Family’s alchemy techniques.

He resisted desperately. But in the fiercest moment of the battle, a spatial disturbance was triggered, and by accident, he fell into this Immortal Crossing Island together with his enemies.

From then on, he was unable to leave.

Originally, with the Lin Family already severely weakened and lacking the alchemy inheritance, the entire Lin Family thus declined from that point on.

Until Lin Jing’s generation, the Lin Family could be said to have become completely extinct.

After hearing this, Lin Jing fell silent for a while before hurriedly consoling:

“Old Ancestor, you really don’t need to be sad. There is no such thing as a family that can continue on forever in this world. The fact that the Lin Family has been able to pass down its legacy for millions of years is already incredibly remarkable.”

The old ancestor of the Lin Family lifted his head to look at Lin Jing, then sighed:

“Alas…”

“Perhaps, this is the will of the heavens.”

Having said that, the old ancestor of the Lin Family’s aura suddenly strengthened as he said to Lin Jing:

“The Lin Family can be dispensed with, but as the sole inheritor of our Lin Family’s bloodline, I must ensure you are sent out.”

“Senior Ancestor, do you know the way out?” Lin Jing asked, puzzled.

The Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor then spoke up,

“After I entered Immortal Crossing Island and sealed the enemy, I pondered for a long time and finally found a way through the trials.”

“As long as one passes the trial, they can leave Immortal Crossing Island.”

“Come…”

“Open your mind, and I will pass all these methods on to you.”

Hearing this, a sudden start jolted Lin Jing’s heart.

He abruptly remembered the dissipating remnant soul…

He then spoke up, asking the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor:

“Senior Ancestor, I encountered two sets of dry bones at the bottom of the pool, one of them had a black nail in its forehead, what is that about?”

Upon hearing this, the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor asked Lin Jing:

“Within those sealed dry bones, was there still a soul light shining?”

“If there is soul light, remember you must not remove that black nail under any circumstances.”

Lin Jing shook his head, saying:

“No…”

“When I first arrived here, the soul light was already very weak.”

“But before that, I had already received news of that remnant soul, so I waited until the soul light disappeared before I dared to go down into this pool.”

“Are you certain that the soul light has dissipated?” the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor asked again.

Lin Jing nodded, saying, “Yes, Senior Ancestor.”

“That’s good…” the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor sighed in relief.

“That person is an enemy of our Lin Family, and what he cultivated was the Dao Transformation Divinity Technique. With this cultivation technique, a soul spirit is extremely hard to extinguish.”

“That’s why I used a Soul-Sealing Nail to seal him.”

“It seems that even the most unyielding soul spirits cannot withstand the passage of time.”

“Now that he has been extinguished, that Spirit-Suppressing Nail is a rare treasure; you can take it with you at any time.”

“If you are still worried, you can just leave it be.”

“By the way, Senior Ancestor…” Lin Jing continued to ask.

“I once obtained a gourd magical treasure which actually allowed a remnant soul to attach to it, I wonder if you have heard of such a thing… ”

The Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor first paused, then responded:

“The gourd you mentioned might be a special Dao treasure, it should have exceeded the category of magical treasures.”

“Unfortunately, I am merely a stubborn will; otherwise, it would have really been possible to attach myself to that gourd and have you take me out…”

Having said that, the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor gave a bitter smile.

At that moment, Lin Jing saw the figure of the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor, who seemed solid at first, becoming a lot more ethereal.

The Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor looked down at his own body, then continued speaking to Lin Jing:

“Time is almost up, I am about to dissipate…”

“Now, open your mind, I will pass on the method to leave this place to you, and when the time comes, you can pass the trial and leave Immortal Crossing Island by following my method.”

However, after the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor finished speaking, Lin Jing made no move nor did he open his mind.

Lin Jing looked at the increasingly ethereal figure of the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor, who was about to dissipate, and said:

“Senior Ancestor, is this method to leave very complicated?”

The Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor nodded and said:

“It is indeed somewhat complex, mainly because I don’t have much time left now, and I can’t explain it to you in detail. It can only be passed on to you in this way.”

“Oh…” Lin Jing uttered, still without any movement.

And in Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness, the phantom image of the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor was becoming fainter and fainter.

In Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness, the two of them just looked at each other.

From beginning to end, Lin Jing had not opened his mind.

And the expression on the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor’s face became increasingly unsightly.

Moments later, ‘The Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor’ looked at Lin Jing, his eyes filled with appreciation, and then he said:

“How did you find out about me?”

But Lin Jing did not answer, instead directly asking:

“The remnant soul that entered my sea of consciousness, it has no ability to harm me, right?”

The reason Lin Jing made such a judgment was that when the remnant soul entered, it did not trigger a counterattack from the Divine Phoenix Mark, nor was there a system warning.

“So, you pretended to be my Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor, trying to lure me into releasing control of my mind to take over my body, and then to remove that Spirit-Suppressing Nail.”

“I was almost deceived by you.”

At that moment, in Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness, the image of the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor suddenly transformed, turning into another old man with a sinister gaze.

“You’re very smart, partly right…”

“Indeed, with that Spirit-Suppressing Nail in place, there’s no way for me to escape, and only by removing that nail can I truly be free.”

“However, you shouldn’t have opened the Lin Family’s bloodline inheritance box…”

The sinister-looking old man suddenly cracked a smile:

“Lin Feiling really thought he could get my Dao Transformation Divinity Technique that easily?”

“And even harbored the delusion of putting my Dao Transformation Divinity Technique into the Lin Family’s bloodline inheritance box.”

“Hahahaha…”

“He’s really too naive.”
