Age of Evolution#

Chapter 982: Chapter 985: People of the Lin Family_1 Chapter 982: Chapter 985: People of the Lin Family_1 With a boost, Lin Zhen’s spaceship crossed the mountains and arrived at his Fifth Senior Brother’s residence.

Peaceful Heart Pavilion was just a small house, with a bridge over a flowing stream and a secluded path through bamboo.

This was where Jin Nuo usually resided, as well as the previous generations of Holy Land Residents.

Lin Zhen disembarked the spaceship, followed closely by Lin An.

Stepping on the bamboo bridge built with emerald bamboo produced a creaking sound.

It was Lin Zhen’s first time here.

The stream under the bridge flowed gently.

…

Though it wasn’t particularly wide, it was deep, and from time to time, gold-colored carp could be seen swimming below.

“Splash!”

A large tail rose and fell on the water’s surface, making Lin An’s eyes widen in surprise.

“A dragon~~!

Father, it’s a dragon…..”

Lin Zhen glared at him fiercely.

His son was somewhat naive.

Lin An immediately closed his mouth, and seeing the surrounding floating clouds and dancing cranes, he thought this was truly a fairyland on earth.

They arrived near a wooden house at the end of the narrow bridge, adorned with a couplet.

The first line read: “The sky is a chessboard with stars as pieces, playing with unmatched hands.”

The second line read: “The earth is a pipa with the road as strings, Who is there to listen to the music?”

In the center were the large characters for Peaceful Heart Pavilion.

Upon seeing these characters, Lin Zhen was instantly attracted by their profound implications.

These characters seemed to have a kind of magic that directly invaded people’s Spiritual Power.

Lin Zhen took one glance and was immersed in them, unable to pull away.

At this moment, all the distractions in his heart vanished like smoke.

He stood there gazing at them, while Lin An, unaffected, couldn’t help but ask, “Father, aren’t we going in?”

Lin Zhen came to his senses and his heart filled with awe.

He didn’t know who had written these characters, but the fact that they could impact his mind was simply astonishing.

Even if it were a god, Lin Zhen didn’t believe they could affect him with mere words.

Although he wanted to continue pondering, he had other things to attend to at the moment, so he decided to put his thoughts on hold.

He led Lin An to the front door.

Before they could knock, the door automatically opened.

Waves of tea aroma drifted out.

Lin Zhen smiled and stepped inside.

Inside the hall, Jin Nuo was arranging some teacups in front of an Eight Immortals table.

The rich aroma of tea was refreshing to the mind and spirit.

“Heh heh, you’re really fortunate.

A friend of mine just brought over some Posa tea from the mother tree of Twin Trees Garden, and you happened to arrive.

You’re really lucky.”

Lin Zhen also smiled, “I’ve always felt that my luck is quite good, it seems it is confirmed today at Fifth Senior Brother’s place.”

“Cheeky.

Have a seat.

Is this your child?”

“This is my son, Lin An, twin brother to his elder sibling.

They were separated when they arrived in the Original World, and I just found him.”

“Hmm, the boy has a good constitution.

Since it’s our first meeting, Fifth Senior Uncle doesn’t have anything to offer you, just take this Bamboo Sword to play with.”

With a casual flick of his wrist, Jin Nuo handed a three-foot-long green bamboo sword from the table to Lin An.

Lin An seemed a bit nervous.

Even though he didn’t know who Jin Nuo was, it was beyond doubt that Jin Nuo was a top-tier master.

He was unsure if he should accept the gift.

Lin Zhen smiled, “Do you think what Fifth Senior Uncle gives could be bad?

Take it.

This is your fate.”

Feeling excited, Lin An nodded and thanked Jin Nuo, “Thank you, Fifth Senior Uncle.”

Picking up the Bamboo Sword, he carefully unsheathed it.

The sword’s cold glow nearly dazzled his eyes.

Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly.

This was actually a Peak High Grade Treasure!

Lin Zhen himself did not have such a good weapon.

Surprisingly, his son got one step ahead of him.

Jin Nuo looked at Lin Zhen, “Heh, you’re so capable now that I don’t have any good items to give you.

You won’t compete with your own son for this, will you?”

“Haha!

Fifth Senior Brother, you really know how to joke.”

Lin Zhen picked up his tea cup and took a sip.

It left a fragrant aftertaste.

His Spiritual Power rippled, and even the Star Power in his Dantian seemed to fluctuate a bit.

It gave him a distinct feeling that he was about to break through his current Realm.

“This is indeed good tea, so miraculous!”

Jin Nuo also took a sip, “Indeed.

The two trees in Twin Trees Garden are priceless treasures.

Remember not to drink too much tea.

If you can’t suppress your Realm from breaking through now, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

“Fifth Senior Brother, as expected, your insight is sharp.

Nothing can be hidden from you.”

“Haha!

I don’t have any insight.

Nowadays, the Dimensional Universe is connected to the Endless Star Sea, which is much more convenient than before.

You can directly search for anything.

I know almost everything about your affairs.”

“How does Fifth Senior Brother think I have performed?” asked Lin Zhen.

Jin Nuo smiled, “You want me to praise you, don’t you?

Although I don’t like to praise people, I must say that your performance has far exceeded my expectations.

It seems that we don’t need to consider other people for the position of Holy Land Resident of Falling Star Lake.

As long as you can survive the Skyfire War, I can retire and pass my position to you.”

“It seems that Fifth Senior Brother is acquainted with the Skyfire War.”

“Yeah…..

indeed, I am.

In fact, I participated in a Skyfire War, but that was a long time ago, and I’ve gradually forgotten most of it.

Plus, this Skyfire War is different from the previous one.”

Jin Nuo sighed: “This Skyfire War is a battle of life and death between two great races, particularly for you.

I fear many amongst the Endless Species would love to see you dead.

You should prepare yourself mentally.”

“Don’t worry, Fifth Senior Brother.

I have met Third Senior Brother Lei Luo.

He taught me about the Divine Domain and I’m preparing to cultivate now.”

“Oh!

You’ve met Third Senior Brother?

That’s a fortune indeed.

You should cultivate well then.

There is nothing to worry about here for now.

We still have twenty years before the hundred-year Grand Tournament.”

Lin Zhen nodded in consent, and the two then chatted for a while before Lin Zhen bade his farewell.

“Go ahead, make sure to challenge the Thirty-Three Sky Tower.

It seems like your family is there now.

You haven’t been back for so many years, and if you don’t make a showing of yourself, some people might not acknowledge your presence.

After all, many newcomers don’t know you.”

Lin Zhen showed a smile: “Thank you for the reminder, Fifth Senior Brother.

I’ll go right away.”

He left Peaceful Heart Pavilion with Lin An and returned to the spaceship parked outside.

Once he had stored the spaceship in his Divine Realm, he said to Lin An: “Let’s go son, today your father will show you a new mode of transportation.”

“Huh!

Is there a better mode of transport than that spaceship?”

To Lin An, the Liuli Ship was a masterpiece, and could be considered the best spaceship.

How could there be anything better?

“Haha!

There are always higher mountains.

Let’s open your horizons.”

*Click!*

*Boom~~~!*

Right after the loud sound, a thundercloud rose beneath them.

The sparking lightning sent fish and dragons leaping from the water, and birds flying all over the sky, startling Lin An into standing his hair on end; although that might have been due to the jolts from the lightning.

“Let’s go and see your mother and the others!”

Pulling Lin An unto the thundercloud, the outwards flashing didn’t attack Lin An.

The father and son duo rose into the sky, heading straight in the direction of the Thirty-Three Sky Tower!

********

The Thirty-Three Sky Tower has always been the liveliest place among the Four Great Sacred Lands.

Especially around the time every ten years when newcomers join the Holy Land, this place is chock-full every day.

The older students want to test their decade-long cultivation outcomes, while the newcomers want to gauge their current levels.

Everyone gathers around this time, and it often leads to disputes when there are many people.

Among the Four Great Sacred Lands in the Original World, Falling Star Lake has gradually begun to take a leading position due to the massive influence of Lin Zhen in the past.

Many people are attracted to it because of him.

The enrollment for new students is only a few days away.

This is the time when the old students come to the Thirty-Three Sky Tower to challenge and explore.

The Thirty-Three Sky Tower cannot accommodate an infinite number of people; there is a limit.

On less busy days, it’s fine.

But when it’s busier, there is a need for a queue.

Heaven and Earth, the Universe, the classes usually have rankings.

Still, when it comes to the Thirty-Three Sky Tower, it follows a first-come-first-served rule.

Whoever comes first gets to challenge first.

In the queue, there are a few people that catch the eye.

Six girls, beautiful girls!

Each of the six women is extraordinarily charming, with An Ning leading, cold and noble.

Next to An Ning, the pure and gentle Su Mingyue smiles tenderly, whispering with An Ning.

Next to Su Mingyue, Lin Mei’er with her long hair flowing lazily hugs her mother’s waist; she has cultivated to the Three-Flowers Early Stage, but she still behaves like a child.

Behind them, the beautiful twin angel sisters stand hand in hand, they are Little Angel and An Qier.

Another delicately beautiful elf girl, exquisitely and elegantly stands aside, helping Lin Mei’er tidy up something, acting absolutely like an older sister.

This class of them has a total of seven girls, regarded as the class with the most girls.

And these six people are all legends of the Holy Land, the family members of Senior Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen left Falling Star Lake Holy Land seventy to eighty years ago.

Five years ago, news from the surface of the Original World and the Endless Star Sea were exchanged, gradually spreading news about Lin Zhen.

Except for those who have been long secluded, indifferent to world affairs, many people have learned of Lin Zhen’s heroic achievements in the Endless Star Sea, highly commending them.

Influenced by Lin Zhen, many from the Falling Star Lake greatly respect these six dazzling beauties of the Lin family.

Moreover, seeing these six always brings joy to the heart, such beautiful people deserve better treatment.

When the six of them were standing in line, a martial artist in front suddenly turned around and said to An Ning: “Sister An Ning, let your family come ahead of me.

Finish the challenge early and get to go home early, so you won’t have to queue here and suffer.”

An Ning hastily waved her hands: “No, no, no, you were here first; it’s only fair you stay ahead.

We won’t mind waiting.”

“Hey!

You’re being too polite.

Senior Lin Zhen is my idol.

My achievements today were deeply motivated by Senior Lin Zhen.

Being able to do something for his family would not only not be a hardship for me, but a sweet task.

In the future, I could boast that I know Senior Lin’s family.

Hahaha!”

This straightforward martial artist’s words made An Ning and the others laugh.

Since he was sincere, it wouldn’t be right to refuse him.

An Ning nodded and was about to move forward with Su Mingyue and the others.

But without even taking a step, a woman’s voice came from behind.
