Chapter 13: The Nine Great Families

Long Xiaoyun took Lin Yan and Pang Shan through layers of defense, and finally came to the outside of Long Zhan's office.

"Come in!"

Long Xiaoyun knocked on the door, and a majestic voice immediately came from inside.

Lin Yan and the three of them walked into the room and saw a middle-aged man, wearing a straight military uniform, standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window with his hands in his hands.

When he turned around, Lin Yan saw his face clearly, which was quite similar to Long Xiaoyun. This middle-aged man is the commander-in-chief of the military region of Suzhou Base City, that is, Long Xiaoyun's father, Long Zhan.

Long Zhan turned his body and looked at Lin Yan, his eyes flashing.

Suddenly, Lin Yan felt a strong sense of oppression from Long Zhan, and under this sense of oppression, Lin Yan felt like a child who had no power to fight back. Moreover, this is just the coercion that the other party inadvertently revealed, if the other party unleashes all the coercion, Lin Yan feels that he may have been pressed to the ground now.

At this moment, Lin Yan clearly felt the horror of the powerful martial artist. Before, he had always thought that martial artists were inferior to abilities, and in his opinion, martial artists were just a group of reckless men with more strength.

Lin Yan turned his head to look at Pang Shan, only to see that Pang Shan was even more unbearable than himself. His legs trembled, and his forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat.

As time passed, Lin Yan's coercion became more and more intense. In less than ten minutes, Pang Shan was so pressed by this coercion that he sat on the ground, panting heavily, and the ground was wet with his sweat, looking extremely unbearable. However, Lin Yan himself was not much better, Lin Yan felt that his hands and feet were no longer his own, and the clothes all over his body were already soaked, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

Just when Lin Yan felt that he was about to lose his hold, Long Zhan suddenly put away his coercion.

"Yes, I have been able to hold on to my martial arts will for so long and have not fallen, and I really deserve to be the strongest awakened person among the spiritual powers. And this little fat man is also very good, you have passed my test. Seeing that Lin Yan could resist his martial will, Long Zhan couldn't help but look at Lin Yan in his heart. You must know that even an ordinary S-class ability, under the pressure of his own martial will, it is impossible to hold on for such a long time.

"Hmm, what test, what test?" Lin Yan was puzzled.

Pang Shan also had a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but look at Long Xiaoyun who was standing aside.

"Two brothers, I'm sorry. I didn't tell you before, but in fact, the main reason I brought you here is for this so-called test. The purpose is to open the inheritance cave of my Long family once in twenty years. I don't know if Brother Lin still remembers, I told you before that I am a bloodliner. Long Xiaoyun looked at Lin Yan and the two and explained embarrassedly.

"Hmm!"

"There are only nine bloodline inheritance families in the Shenzhou Continent, and my Long family is one of them. The other eight families are, Xuanyuan, Dongfang, Nangong, Ximen, Beiming, Ji, Jiang, and Wang. Long Xiaoyun said this, stopped and looked at Lin Yan, and continued.

"A thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Nine Great Families discovered the Inheritance Cave Heaven and took it for themselves. The inheritance cave is opened once every ten years, which can help martial artists or people with abilities to quickly improve their strength, but the inheritance cave will open the inheritance ancient hall once every hundred years, and there is a heavenly pool in the inheritance ancient hall, which has a function of going against the sky, that is, washing the bloodline. ”

"Therefore, every hundred years when the Inheritance Ancient Hall of the Nine Great Families is opened, they will send the younger generation of their own families who are less than twenty years old or below the S rank to enter it. The most important thing is to be able to enter the Heavenly Pool in the Ancient Hall of Inheritance and open the bloodline seal in it. Because, whoever opens the bloodline seal in Tianchi will have the power of his bloodline even stronger. Therefore, all the children of the Nine Great Families will generally not awaken their bloodlines before the age of twenty. However, every time Tianchi is opened, the number of places is very limited, so not everyone has the opportunity to enter the Tianchi Awakening Bloodline. Therefore, in order to compete for more places to enter the Tianchi, every time the Inheritance Ancient Hall is opened, the Nine Great Families will seek foreign aid. After speaking, Long Xiaoyun looked at Lin Yan seriously.

"You mean to say that you want me and Pang Shan to act as your foreign aid?" Lin Yan asked Long Xiaoyun.

"Well, we do plan to do this this time, I don't know if Little Brother Lin is willing to help my Long family with this? Moreover, the opening of the Inheritance Cave Heaven this time is also a great opportunity for the two Lin brothers. This time, Long Xiaoyun didn't speak, but Long Zhan said with a serious face.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Lin Yan asked.

"You must know that although you don't have a bloodline, Tianchi can't make your bloodline stronger, but it also has a function that defies the sky, that is, it can help wash the body's meridians and remove the bottleneck of advancing to the king of martial arts. Long Zhan looked at Lin Yan and said with a smile.

After listening to Long Zhan's words, Lin Yan was silent. Long Zhan's words really moved him, if Tianchi is really as magical as he said, then the help to himself is undoubtedly huge, and he must fight for the opportunity to enter Tianchi.

"Okay! Since Commander Long thinks so highly of our brother, then our brother will definitely not let you down. Lin Yan was finally moved, Lin Yan's cultivation has not been able to break through these days, and he knew that he had encountered the so-called cultivation bottleneck. Whether it is martial arts or ability, there is a bottleneck in cultivation, and now there is a small bottleneck Lin Yan believes that with his talent, he can completely break it. However, in the future, Lin Yan will break through the bottleneck of the king level, but Lin Yan does not have so much confidence. Lin Yan has nothing to do in the base these days, and he has also learned a lot about martial artists and supernatural people with Long Xiaoyun.

The bottleneck of cultivation is determined by the individual's talent, and the higher the talent, the less likely it is to encounter the bottleneck, and even if it encounters the bottleneck, the easier it is to break through. In principle, there are bottlenecks in every step of cultivation, but those small bottlenecks are not a bit of an obstacle for those who are extremely talented. And like those with extremely low talent, they will often encounter bottlenecks, and some may even be unable to break through to a higher realm in their lifetime because of a small bottleneck. Just like those who have been staying in the Black Iron Three Stars, they can't gather their internal strength and become silver warriors all their lives, because they have encountered a bottleneck. Maybe the difficulty of this bottleneck is not high, but, because his talent is too low, he can't break through, and he can only be stuck in the black iron level for the rest of his life.

However, this does not mean that no matter how talented people are, there will be no bottlenecks. Even if the talent is high, they will encounter bottlenecks when breaking through the king level, and as the talent increases, the bottleneck will also increase.

In fact, Lin Yan's talent is already considered to be against the sky, not only does he have dual-line abilities, but he is also the strongest awakened person in the spiritual department. The only disadvantage of the Awakened is that their talent is too high, which means that when they break through the king level, the difficulty of the bottleneck they encounter will be higher.

Maybe in the early days, the potential and speed of the Awoken are fast, but there is one thing. That is, in the later stage, the path of cultivation will be more difficult than that of the martial artist, so many of the strongest awakened people are basically double cultivators, and in the later stage, they specialize in martial arts, because martial arts are fundamental. In fact, all roads lead to the same road, after all, they are the same way. After the ability breaks through the king level, it will be compatible with the martial arts, and the martial arts and the ability are really the same way in the end.

However, since the supernatural ones are all halfway monks, and they are at least equivalent to the bronze level of martial artists, and they have not gone through the lowest level of penance and tempering at all, so even if the talent is high, it is difficult to break through to the king level for a period of time.

And what Lin Yan lacks now is precisely time, Lin Yan has already understood that the person who was killed by himself when he encountered the mutant flame dog at that time was really the youngest son of Liao Jianjun, the deputy commander of Suzhou Base City. The worst thing is that this Liao Jianjun is still a martial king-level powerhouse. This is undoubtedly a bomb that will explode at any moment, and will blow itself to the ground.

Therefore, when he heard the effect of Tianchi, Lin Yan was really moved, if he could break through to the king level in a short time, he would not have to worry about the threat of Liao Jianjun.

"Well, in that case, we will set off for the Inheritance Cave in three days. Seeing that Lin Yan agreed to himself so happily, Long Zhan's mood was quite happy, and he said happily. He had personally tested Lin Yan's strength just now, and in his opinion, with Lin Yan's strength, he should be able to help Long Xiaoyun to a great extent, making it more likely for him to awaken the original bloodline.
