Chapter 32 The Foundation Of The Strongest Clan

Chapter 32: Chapter 32 The Foundation Of The Strongest Clan

The dragon remained silent.

Its enormous eyes continued sweeping across the newly transformed territory.

It had thought that after seeing the Primordial Enlightenment Ancient Tree, nothing else could surprise it.

It had been wrong.

Lin Hao had only just finished building the foundation of the Lin Clan’s new territory.

And somehow...

He still wasn’t satisfied.

Lin Hao looked across the mountains.

"Something is missing."

Lin Chen and Lin Qing looked around.

"What’s missing, Ancestor?"

Lin Hao thought for a moment.

"People."

Lin Chen blinked.

"What?"

"The buildings are here."

"The mountains are here."

"The spiritual plants are here."

"The formations are here."

"But the halls need people to manage them."

Lin Hao turned toward the dragon.

"You."

The dragon raised its head.

"Me?"

Lin Hao nodded.

"Yes."

He pointed toward the Beast Taming Hall.

"I’ll make you the Guardian Elder of the Beast Taming Hall."

The dragon stared at him.

"Guardian Elder?"

"Yes."

Lin Hao smiled.

"You’ll be responsible for the Beast Taming Hall."

The dragon’s enormous eyes flashed.

"Very well."

It lowered its head.

"I accept."

Lin Hao nodded.

"Then the position is yours."

The System immediately appeared.

DING!

[New Guardian Elder registered.]

[Position: Beast Taming Hall Guardian Elder]

[Identity: Divine World Dragon]

The dragon’s expression changed slightly.

It had officially become a member of the Lin Clan.

Yet Lin Hao had not finished.

He looked toward the enormous Beast Taming territory.

Then he frowned.

"There’s another problem."

The dragon looked at him.

"What problem?"

Lin Hao pointed toward the empty Beast Taming Valley.

"There aren’t enough beasts."

The dragon stared at the empty valley.

Then it looked back at Lin Hao.

"You intend to purchase beasts too?"

"Of course."

Lin Hao opened the System Mall.

The Beast section appeared.

His eyes immediately brightened.

"Ancient Beasts."

The dragon’s expression changed.

Lin Hao began purchasing.

---

DING!

[Purchase successful.]

A massive golden bird suddenly appeared in the sky.

Its wings stretched for hundreds of meters.

Golden flames surrounded its body.

The dragon looked up.

"Ancient Golden Crow..."

Before it could say anything else—

DING!

Another enormous creature appeared.

A majestic beast covered in golden scales stepped onto the ground.

Its body carried an ancient and noble aura.

"Ancient Qilin."

Another purchase.

A gigantic turtle appeared beside the Spiritual Lake.

Its shell looked like an ancient mountain.

"Ancient Black Tortoise."

Then came—

Ancient Phoenix.

Ancient White Tiger.

Ancient Roc.

Ancient Kun.

Ancient Thunder Beast.

Ancient Blood Moon Wolf.

Ancient Heaven Devouring Beast.

Ancient Nine-Tailed Fox.

Ancient Dragon Blood Beast.

One after another, the empty Beast Taming territory became filled with Ancient Beasts.

Some flew through the sky.

Some roamed the mountains.

Some entered the lakes.

Some rested beneath the ancient trees.

Some released terrifying auras that caused the surrounding Spiritual Qi to tremble.

Lin Chen stared.

"Ancestor..."

"Yes?"

"Are these really all ours?"

Lin Hao smiled.

"Of course."

Lin Qing’s eyes sparkled.

"The Beast Taming Hall is amazing!"

The dragon remained silent.

It knew what these beasts represented.

Many of them had already disappeared from the worlds long ago.

Yet Lin Hao had purchased them as casually as someone buying ordinary animals.

The dragon suddenly felt that becoming a Guardian Elder had been a very wise decision.

---

Lin Hao turned away from the Beast Taming Valley.

"Now..."

He looked toward another mountain.

"The cultivation facilities."

The Lin Clan already possessed the Time Tower.

Lin Hao had no intention of purchasing another one.

That tower already contained five floors.

100×.

1,000×.

10,000×.

100,000×.

1,000,000×.

The fourth floor contained Immortal Qi.

The fifth floor contained Divine Qi.

Lin Cangyuan, the Golden Immortal, could cultivate on the fourth floor.

And the dragon could use the fifth floor.

Lin Hao glanced toward the dragon.

"You can use the fifth floor of the Time Tower whenever you want."

The dragon froze.

"The fifth floor?"

"Yes."

"The floor with Divine Qi?"

Lin Hao nodded.

The dragon stared at him.

"You are allowing me to cultivate there?"

"Why wouldn’t I?"

The dragon didn’t answer.

It had spent countless years in the Divine World.

Divine Qi was something it understood extremely well.

Yet even in the Divine World, access to pure Divine Qi was not something ordinary beings could casually obtain.

But here...

Lin Hao was simply giving it permission to enter.

The dragon’s gaze toward Lin Hao became even more complicated.

"Thank you."

Lin Hao waved his hand.

"Don’t mention it."

---

Lin Hao then pointed toward another magnificent building.

"The Enlightenment Hall."

The doors opened.

A mysterious aura immediately spread outward.

Lin Hao looked toward Lin Chen and Lin Qing.

"This place is for comprehension."

The two nodded.

Lin Hao continued.

"Anyone who enters has a 100% chance of entering Enlightenment."

Lin Chen froze.

"One hundred percent?"

"Yes."

Lin Qing’s mouth opened slightly.

"Anyone?"

"Anyone."

The dragon’s expression changed.

Lin Tianhe, who had been quietly observing everything, also became serious.

A place where every person could enter Enlightenment...

Even he understood how terrifying such a facility was.

Lin Hao continued.

"It can be used for cultivation, martial techniques, Dao comprehension, laws, arrays, alchemy, weapon refinement, and other forms of understanding."

Lin Chen looked toward the hall.

"So if I enter..."

"You’ll enter Enlightenment."

Lin Qing immediately became excited.

"When can we go?"

Lin Hao laughed.

"Whenever you want."

---

Next came the Battle Tower.

Lin Hao opened its doors.

Inside was an enormous space.

The walls seemed to contain countless battlefields.

Lin Hao explained:

"You can choose who you want to fight."

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened.

"Anyone?"

"Anyone."

"Even someone much stronger than me?"

"Yes."

"Even someone in a completely different realm?"

"Yes."

Lin Hao nodded.

"You can choose the opponent, their cultivation realm, and the battlefield."

Lin Qing looked surprised.

"What happens if we lose?"

Lin Hao smiled.

"You die."

The two froze.

Lin Hao continued calmly.

"But only inside the Battle Tower."

"If you die there, you’ll return to reality unharmed."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened.

"So we can fight without worrying about dying?"

"Exactly."

The dragon looked toward the tower.

That was an extremely valuable training resource.

A cultivator could experience countless life-and-death battles without actually losing their life.

Lin Hao nodded.

"You can fight until you understand your weaknesses."

"Then fight again."

"Then improve."

---

Next was the Technique Pavilion.

Lin Hao entered the building.

A mysterious aura immediately surrounded him.

At the center of the pavilion was a strange ancient book floating in the air.

It was the Artifact Spirit.

Lin Hao looked at it.

"From now on, anyone who enters this pavilion will receive a suitable cultivation technique."

The Artifact Spirit’s voice echoed through the hall.

[Understood, Master.]

Lin Chen looked surprised.

"The pavilion has an Artifact Spirit?"

Lin Hao nodded.

The Artifact Spirit explained:

[Anyone who enters will be examined according to their Spiritual Root, Constitution, Bloodline, Comprehension, Cultivation, and personal characteristics.]

[The most suitable cultivation techniques will then be selected automatically.]

Lin Qing blinked.

"So we don’t have to search?"

[Correct.]

The Artifact Spirit responded.

[You do not need to search.]

[The Technique Pavilion will find the techniques that suit you.]

Lin Hao nodded in satisfaction.

"Good."

---

Next came the Pill Pavilion.

Lin Hao opened the doors.

Rows upon rows of shelves filled the enormous hall.

Pills were stored everywhere.

Low-grade pills.

Middle-grade pills.

High-grade pills.

Supreme-grade pills.

Ancient-grade pills.

Healing pills.

Cultivation pills.

Breakthrough pills.

Life-extension pills.

Soul-recovery pills.

Bloodline-enhancement pills.

Detoxification pills.

Enlightenment pills.

And countless other varieties.

Lin Hao had purchased massive quantities of them.

He also purchased numerous alchemy cauldrons.

Some were ordinary.

Others were Spiritual.

Some were Saint-grade.

Some were Divine.

And some were ancient treasures whose origins were impossible to determine.

Lin Tianhe stared at the shelves.

His eyes became increasingly complicated.

He recognized some.

But most were completely beyond his knowledge.

Lin Hao looked satisfied.

"This should be enough."

Lin Tianhe almost laughed.

Enough?

The Pill Pavilion contained enough resources to support an enormous cultivation force for countless years.

Yet Lin Hao called it enough.

---

Then came the Weapon Hall.

Lin Hao opened it.

Thousands upon thousands of weapons appeared inside.

Swords.

Sabers.

Spears.

Halberds.

Bows.

Daggers.

Axes.

Hammers.

Staffs.

Flying swords.

Defensive treasures.

Armor.

Shields.

And countless other treasures.

They were separated into different grades.

Mortal.

Spiritual.

Earth.

Heaven.

Saint.

Divine.

Ancient.

Some weapons even possessed Artifact Spirits.

Lin Hao looked toward the hall.

"Anyone who needs a weapon can come here."

The Weapon Hall immediately responded with a faint hum.

Its Artifact Spirit had awakened.

Lin Hao gave it the same instruction.

"Help everyone find a weapon suitable for them."

[Understood, Master.]

Lin Chen looked at the countless weapons.

His eyes immediately became bright.

"Ancestor..."

Lin Hao laughed.

"You can choose one later."

---

Lin Hao continued walking.

There was the Alchemy Hall.

The Artifact Refining Hall.

The Array Hall.

The Talisman Hall.

The Medical Hall.

The War Hall.

The Law Enforcement Hall.

The Training Hall.

The Combat Arena.

Every important aspect of cultivation had its own facility.

The Lin Clan was no longer merely a family.

Its territory had become a complete cultivation world.

---

Lin Hao finally stopped.

He looked around.

Ancient Grade Spiritual Veins flowed beneath the mountains.

Spiritual Qi filled the air.

The five-floor Time Tower stood majestically in the distance.

The Enlightenment Hall.

The Battle Tower.

The Technique Pavilion.

The Pill Pavilion.

The Weapon Hall.

The Beast Taming Hall.

The ancient beasts.

The countless spiritual trees.

The Primordial Enlightenment Ancient Trees.

The Pan Peach Trees.

The Enlightenment Tea Trees.

The spiritual grass.

The spiritual flowers.

The magnificent palaces.

The countless mountains.

The rivers.

The lakes.

The waterfalls.

The formations.

Everything had finally begun to take shape.

Lin Hao nodded.

"Now..."

"This actually looks like a clan."

Lin Chen smiled.

"It’s beautiful."

Lin Qing nodded enthusiastically.

"It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen."

Lin Hao laughed.

"Good."

But Lin Tianhe wasn’t smiling.

He was staring at the territory in silence.

After a long time, he finally spoke.

"Ancestor..."

"Hm?"

"I think I’ve finally understood something."

"What?"

Lin Tianhe looked around.

"I’ve been trying to understand what these treasures are."

"But..."

He shook his head.

"I don’t think I’m capable of understanding even one percent of them."

Lin Hao laughed.

"Then don’t worry about understanding them."

"Just use them."

Lin Tianhe smiled bitterly.

"That’s easier said than done."

---

The dragon had not spoken for a long time.

It stood on Dragon Peak, overlooking the entire territory.

Its mind was still in turmoil.

The Time Tower alone was enough to shock it.

The fifth floor contained pure Divine Qi.

The fourth contained Immortal Qi.

Then there were the ancient treasures.

The extinct trees.

The ancient beasts.

The formations.

The weapons.

The pills.

The Enlightenment Hall.

The Battle Tower.

The Technique Pavilion.

Everything was far beyond what it expected to find in the Mortal World.

The dragon slowly looked toward Lin Hao.

Who exactly is this man?

He clearly existed in the Mortal World.

Yet everything he possessed seemed to transcend the Mortal World.

Even the Divine World could not casually produce many of these things.

And Lin Hao...

He purchased them without hesitation.

The dragon’s eyes became serious.

If I remain here...

Perhaps I really can break through.

For the first time in countless years, it felt that the realm beyond its current cultivation might not be a dream.

The dragon lowered its head.

It had already made its decision.

Whatever price it had to pay...

It would remain with the Lin Clan.

And one day—

It would see just how far this mysterious family could truly rise.
