Chapter 251
A few days later.
Lin Yuan was still cultivating.
He was dragged out of his room by his mother, Shen Zhen.
"Chang'er, I'm taking you to a good place."
Mother Shen Zhen said mysteriously.
"A good place?"
Lin Yuan felt quite helpless in his heart.
Soon.
The two of them came outside.
His father, Lin Jianping, had been waiting for a long time.
His expression was full of seriousness.
"This time, we are going to the Martial Temple."
"Chang'er, when you get there, you must not fool around."
Lin Jianping cautioned.
Although the martial cultivation system does not have as much influence as the immortal cultivation system, in Xiaoyao City, the Martial Temple is the supreme authority, overseeing everything and commanding all.
Even in the entire Xuan King Domain, the Martial Temple is one of the most powerful forces under the Daoist Immortal Sect. Several martial seventh rank experts have combat strength comparable to ordinary true immortals in the Dao Fusion rank.
"Martial Temple?"
Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly.
He had long speculated that the Martial Temple was probably established by his former disciples, like Li Qing and others.
The purpose was to ensure the inheritance of the martial cultivation system.
In the center of Xiaoyao City.
There stood the majestic Xiaoyao Mountain.
This was the location of the Martial Temple, the most central place in the entire Xiaoyao City.
The few martial seventh rank experts who founded the Martial Temple often fought for the Daoist Immortal Sect. The strongest within the temple was only a martial sixth rank expert, but that was enough to overlook the entire Xiaoyao City.
Xiaoyao City was among the top hundred out of tens of thousands of cities in the Xuan King Domain.
This was due to the existence of the Martial Temple.
At this moment.
A spirit ship flew near.
Lin Jianping, Lin Yuan, and others stepped out.
"Sir of the Martial Temple, my son wants to go in and experience the Martial Ancestor's divine radiance." Lin Jianping took out a token.
It was bronze in color, with the word 'Martial' inscribed on it.
"Go in."
At the entrance of Xiaoyao Mountain, several guards glanced at the token and opened the formation.
Seeing this, Lin Jianping thanked them again and led Lin Yuan and Shen Zhen inside.
"Another one using connections."
The guards sneered after Lin Jianping and the other two disappeared.
Since the establishment of Xiaoyao City, many people had come to experience the Martial Ancestor's divine radiance at intervals.
Among these people, very few were invited by the Martial Temple due to their outstanding martial talents to experience the divine radiance.
But most came to 'benefit' from the divine radiance.
The higher-ups of the Martial Temple did not intervene because, firstly, it could bring some income to the temple, and secondly, it did not affect them.
After the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor was activated, it enveloped the area for a fixed time, prioritizing those with outstanding martial talents.
After they had finished, it was the turn of the others.
"Using connections also requires some strength." Another guard sighed.
"Experiencing the Martial Ancestor's divine radiance and indirectly receiving guidance from a martial expert on par with true immortals—wouldn't you want that?"
The guard shook his head and said.
"Of course, I would."
The first guard who spoke was silent for a moment but then spoke honestly.
Guidance from a powerful figure was too important.
Especially the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor, which not only provided guidance but also determined which aspect of martial arts the experiencer excelled in.
Xiaoyao Mountain.
As far as Lin Yuan could see, this was an extremely vast mountain, with traces of aura filling every inch of the air. It was clear that any outsider daring to intrude would be suppressed by the forces from all directions in the first instant.
"Using martial arts methods combined with immortal formations is interesting."
Lin Yuan only took a glance and saw through the essence of Xiaoyao Mountain.
"Chang'er, don't look around." Lin Jianping glanced at Lin Yuan and quickly reminded him.
Inside Xiaoyao Mountain, Martial Temple big shots could pass by at any moment. If any of them were offended by Lin Yuan's gaze, wouldn't it be a disaster?
The few of them followed the path and soon arrived at a teleportation array.
Xiaoyao Mountain was too vast, and to reach the Martial Temple at the top, it would take at least half a day, so there were usually teleportation arrays at the foot of the mountain.
Buzz.
Under the guidance of a Martial Temple disciple.
The three of them stepped into the teleportation array and instantly reached the top of the mountain.
"There are quite a few people."
Shen Zhen curiously looked around.
She found that many people were gathered in small groups, talking in low voices.
Not far away, a huge wall stood; this was the place where the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor would be activated.
But it was currently closed, and no one was allowed to enter.
"Many people come to experience the Martial Ancestor's divine radiance. Xiaoyao City is so large, and many clans and forces send their children over when it is activated."
Lin Jianping said in a low voice.
"An inner disciple is still good, with the potential to reach the fourth rank of martial arts in the future."
After some discussion, they made a decision.
Next.
One by one, martial talents experienced the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor.
In the end, three were accepted as inner disciples of the Martial Temple, one became a core disciple, and six became ordinary disciples.
With that.
The divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor came to an end.
As for the rest waiting in line to experience it? They were mostly those who came through connections and whose talents did not meet the criteria to join the Martial Temple.
However, the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor was unique; even those without martial talent could benefit from it.
There were no barriers to experiencing the divine radiance; even immortal cultivators could experience it.
"It's my turn, it's my turn."
"Hurry up in front; the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor is about to extinguish."
Those who came through connections began to urge.
They did not dare to speak when the martial talents were experiencing the divine radiance, as even a word could get them expelled from the Martial Temple.
But now, with only those using connections left, they wanted the process to go faster.
On the other side of the mountaintop.
Several high-ranking members of the Martial Temple watched patiently for a while.
Then they lost interest.
Those using connections to experience the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor rarely had compatibility above one part.
"The ancestor said that all living beings have the qualification to cultivate martial arts." A figure muttered to himself.
This was why they allowed those using connections to experience the divine radiance.
Just because you were not a martial talent did not mean you should be deprived of the Martial Ancestor's guidance.
In the square below.
Soon it was Lin Yuan's turn to experience the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor.
"Son, don't feel pressured, just experience it casually." Shen Zhen encouraged Lin Yuan.
"Experience it casually?"
Lin Jianping's mouth twitched. This was a chance he had spent most of their wealth to obtain.
But to avoid making Lin Yuan nervous, Lin Jianping still said, "Your mother is right, don't feel any pressure."
"Got it."
Lin Yuan nodded and walked into the door.
Buzz.
The seven statues emitted a faint divine radiance.
The black-robed old man stood beside them.
"Sit here and close your eyes to feel it." The black-robed old man said calmly, his tone showing no fluctuation, obviously having said it countless times.
"Sit here?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the seven statues, his brow furrowing slightly.
Because he had no idea how to feel it.
Others would find the divine radiance full of mysteries.
But to Lin Yuan, the divine radiance was something he had played with centuries ago.
It was like a PhD student solving elementary school problems—they could see the answer at a glance, what was there to ponder?
"How to feel it?"
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and still asked.
"Just close your eyes, and the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor will naturally resonate with you."
The black-robed old man patiently explained.
"Alright then."
Lin Yuan followed the instructions and sat before the statues.
Buzz.
The omnipresent divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor quickly enveloped Lin Yuan and began to resonate with him.
However.
The next moment.
The seven statues simultaneously halted.
Even the omnipresent divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor abruptly solidified.
"What?"
The black-robed old man, who was thinking Lin Yuan should finish quickly so the next person could come, suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief.
Rumble.
With the initial halt, the seven statues emitted radiance together, twelve parts radiance from each statue.
Strands of the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor continuously swirled around Lin Yuan, as if commanded, converging at his feet.
"You, which divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor did you feel?"
The black-robed old man trembled, looking at Lin Yuan like a deity, and instinctively asked.
"Which divine radiance?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the black-robed old man.
He did not speak.
I am the Martial Ancestor.
What divine radiance is there to feel?
