In that turbulent era, countless people wanted to find a bright path for Dragon Country.
The ancestral master was also one of the passionate youths of the time.
Back then, being able to gather ten supreme warriors to simultaneously instill cultivation into the ancestral master required more than just ten voluntary supreme warriors; a crucial element was the Moonlight Stone.
This is a very special stone.
No one knows how this stone is made, nor does anyone know its exact place of origin.
This stone can absorb the essence of a person.
During the chaotic times, countless people used all means and only managed to find ten pieces by coincidence.
Ten Moonlight Stones represent ten supreme warriors.
After being used, the Moonlight Stone is discarded.
So, for over a hundred years, Longhua Mountain has only had one master of unparalleled power.
Moreover, because the ancestral master accumulated an excessively vast amount of power within his body, he died prematurely, passing away before reaching fifty.
For warriors at this level, living to over a hundred years, or even two hundred years, is not impossible.
Fifty years old is barely a fifth of their life span; compared to normal human age, it might even be considered juvenile.
The Elder thought more and more that Lin Beichen seemed off.
There can be no more Moonlight Stones in the world, and it is impossible to gather ten supreme warriors willing to sacrifice themselves.
And Lin Beichen spent most of his time observing, only making a few moves at the end.
Is it possible, as Wei Hongzhu imagined, that Lin Beichen is just an experimental product from some laboratory?
A hundred years ago, the technology compared to now is vastly different.
A hundred years ago, most of the world’s people were still starving, even in the most developed countries.
Now, though the world is still plagued by famine, the bigger problem is the unequal distribution, not the shortage of food.
Modern technology advances rapidly, with yearly discoveries in biology and medicine.
It is conceivable that Lin Beichen was a new product launched from some laboratory.
Otherwise, why would Lin Beichen go to the Starry Sky Association specifically?
By annihilating Zhongcheng Hall in front of everyone at the Starry Sky Association, wasn’t he basically advertising to the world?
At this moment, a phone call came.
After listening for a few moments, the Elder’s face drastically changed.
"Uncle, what’s wrong?"
Wei Hongzhu asked cautiously.
On the training platform, Wei Xingshan put down the chains and turned to look.
The Elder’s face kept changing, and after several seconds, he sighed deeply and said:
"A directive has just been issued from above, endorsing all of Lin Beichen’s actions and not holding him accountable for anything."
Official endorsement?
Wei Hongzhu murmured, not yet realizing the implication of this directive, while Wei Xingshan’s face dramatically changed.
"Is Lin Beichen not an experimental product?"
The Elder smiled wryly and nodded.
He had just suspected Lin Beichen to be a manufactured puppet, only for this suspicion to be disproven so quickly.
Lin Beichen’s identity being officially confirmed means what?
A simple truth.
No matter how secretive a lab is, it can’t escape official attention.
All ancient clans are ultimately under official control, whether they act recklessly or seek seclusion, they are monitored.
If Lin Beichen were an experimental product, he wouldn’t qualify for official support.
Wei Xingshan’s forehead veins pulsated, and in a moment of ire, he suddenly roared and punched a bronze bull.
The thousand-pound bronze bull instantly cracked.
Wei Xingshan jumped off the training platform and walked towards the room.
"Fool, where are you going?"
Wei Hongzhu shouted, but Wei Xingshan didn’t listen.
"Don’t bother with him."
The Elder sighed deeply.
"Some things he has to breakthrough himself; no matter how much we help, it’s external force only."
"Elder, did Lin Beichen really cultivate this himself?"
Wei Hongzhu asked dazedly, still in disbelief.
How could someone from an ordinary background, who hasn’t even finished college, already surpass supreme warriors?
Being part of an ancient clan, the deeper one delves into martial arts, the clearer it becomes that there’s almost no luck involved in this path.
Achieving anything in martial arts isn’t just about effort.
There’s too much luck and innate factors.
Genes, talent, even mentality.
If any aspect falls short of supreme, a hundred times more effort would be futile.
Human genes are uncontrollable; becoming a supreme warrior seems predestined by heaven.
Born with the chance, one can achieve supreme warrior status with postnatal effort and a touch of luck.
Born without the chance, no matter the effort put in, it’s impossible to attain.
Despite these harsh conditions, supreme warriors, who barely managed to squeeze through all odds, faced Lin Beichen and were crushed like flies and tofu.
Supreme warrior status seemed like a joke.
Before Lin Beichen’s appearance, even the strongest ancestor of Longhua Mountain was just an anomaly.
Supreme warriors were considered the limit humans could reach.
This was the consensus.
Lin Beichen shattered that consensus.
"The world is about to change."
The Elder gazed at the sky, whispering to himself.
The grand tide of the world is surging forward like a torrent, yet these old bones were born too early; though the tide comes, there’s no chance to ride it and become a soaring dragon.
For those with martial spirit, it’s a cruel reality.
"I have no chance; if Wei Xingshan can’t figure it out, he also has no chance; maybe only that person remains."
The Elder silently thought, looking towards the direction behind the mountain.
The shockwave caused by Lin Beichen didn’t just stun the people of Longhua Mountain.
Any ancient clan with ancient heritage realized a significant event.
The chance for a breakthrough has arrived.
Previously, they couldn’t find the door’s location.
They spent hundreds, even thousands of years, pursuing human limits.
Now, the opportunity has finally come.
The door painstakingly chiseled open over a thousand years has revealed a crack, and someone has already stepped through ahead of them.
Discussion halls of countless families are holding top-level meetings.
"Investigate Lin Beichen immediately; I need to know every detail of his cultivation, every aspect of his life, down to the tiniest bits."
"Investigate everyone around him; even those he shared diapers and kindergarten with, don’t overlook anyone!"
"I need to know if there’s anyone else like Lin Beichen in this world!"
"With Zhao Tianjie dead, do you still doubt? Must you wait until Lin Beichen steps into our clan, kills me, for you to believe the truth?"
"Zhao Tianjie has been dead for no more than three days, and Zhongcheng Hall is already collapsing. If it wasn’t for Zhongcheng Hall sending out a beauty, do you think they would still exist?"
"Is there no heaven-granted offspring in the family? Are you nothing but wastes producing worthless descendants to repay the family?"
"Immediately call in all family women, pick out those with decent looks and relatively good talent.
Since the men are useless, have the women take over! I don’t care what methods you use, you must seduce Lin Beichen and get pregnant with his child!"
"Whoever gets pregnant by Lin Beichen, the position of family head will be hers; I will personally serve and yield my position to her!"
Such words echoed in every family.
Talented disciples seeking ways to reach the peak, those without talent gathering family women to implement beauty schemes.
Those with neither outstanding men nor women sought to adopt from society.
In every possible way, they must extract the secret from Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen became an unavoidable topic for the families.
Previously they hadn’t heard of this name; even if they had, they treated it as a joke, paying no attention.
Now, Lin Beichen is the most crucial matter for each family over the past hundred years.
