Chapter 1: Awakening of the System, Clan's Guardian
In the serene town of Qingfeng, within a secluded spring pool at the Lin family's ancestral mountain, an unremarkable gray python slowly opened its eyes, surveying its surroundings with a mix of unfamiliarity and a hint of recognition.
Lin Xuan, who had just finished assimilating the memories of his predecessor, felt a growing excitement in his gaze. He, "Fortuitous and Extraordinary" Lin Xuan, had transmigrated!
Even though he was no longer a human in this life, he had, at the very least, fulfilled the dreams of countless Earthlings: transmigrating into a vast world of cultivation.
His 1.5-meter body stood tall, and on his oval-shaped head, a pair of icy eyes surveyed everything. No one would have guessed that such a large gray python had not even seen a full moon in this world. (A full Moon happens roughly every 29.5 days.)The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
With Lin Xuan's movements, in a stone pavilion by the spring pool, a young girl who had been napping was also awakened. She turned her head and locked eyes with Lin Xuan.
In the next moment, the girl's expression transformed from the initial drowsiness of just waking up to disbelief, then joy. Without waiting for Lin Xuan to react, she leaped to her feet and dashed down the mountain, excitedly shouting, "Father, Father, Grand Ancestor is alive!"
Lin Xuan watched the departing girl with a slightly bewildered expression. "Grand Ancestor? Me!?"
A quarter of an hour later, by the spring pool, a group of over ten people appeared. Three middle-aged men led the group, while the young girl stood to the side.
"Lin Family's third-generation Family Head, Lin Xiuqi, pays respects to Grand Ancestor!"
Among the three middle-aged men, the one in black robes, around forty years old, had a dignified and imposing demeanor as he respectfully bowed to Lin Xuan. Following the lead of the middle-aged man, the ten-plus people in the group also saluted Lin Xuan in unison.
As Lin Xuan observed this scene, although he felt somewhat awkward, he nodded slightly.
He had deduced the reason behind this from the brief moment when the girl left earlier. In his original body's past, his mother had been injured during her childhood and saved by Lin Qingfeng, the first-generation Family Head of the Lin family and Lin Xiuqi's grandfather.
Since then, they had formed a bond. At that time, Lin Qingfeng was still an ordinary human. He had brought Lin Xuan's mother back to their den and discovered a cultivation technique on the corpse of a human.

The system's successive notifications resounded in Lin Xuan's mind, and he felt as though he had received a blessing from the heavens.
The next moment, a blue light screen appeared in front of Lin Xuan. He glanced at the Lin family members and realized that he was the only one who could see this light screen.
