Chapter 128: Breakthrough to Celestial Talisman Master, Preparing to Depart!
As the strange green energy continued pouring in, Lin Fan's Niwan Palace underwent a complete transformation—like snow meeting blazing sunlight, an overwhelming change unfolded at astonishing speed.
Inside his Niwan Palace, five life spirit talismans recondensed into one and anchored themselves in the midst of chaos. The power they exuded had grown dozens of times stronger!
Gradually, that chaotic fog inside the Niwan Palace began to thin.
As the life-infused green energy streamed in, the chaos dissipated—heaven and earth began to separate, yin and yang began to form.
Sensing this, Lin Fan was overjoyed.
He knew that to truly reach the level of a Celestial Talisman Master, one had to break the chaos within the Niwan Palace and create an inner world—one that could resonate with the outer heavens.
Only then could one harness the full power of heaven and earth through runes!
But forging a small world inside the Niwan Palace wasn't something that could be done overnight.
Even with the abundant vitality from the Tree Rune, progress was still slow.
Time flowed quietly during Lin Fan's secluded cultivation.
Before he knew it, a whole month had passed.
Throughout that month, Lin Fan's body remained motionless, while the glowing tree rune was gradually drained, its vibrant energy slowly devoured strand by strand.
Eventually, the chaos inside the Niwan Palace completely cleared.
Heaven and earth split—clear skies above, murky ground below—and faint thunder echoed within.
At this point, Lin Fan's Niwan Palace had fully evolved into a miniature world.
Just as the inner heaven and earth were fully separated, a strange chime, like a bell from deep within the soul, resonated silently—instantly surging Lin Fan's spiritual power!
His spiritual energy swelled violently. Within his miniature world, it condensed like lightning, gradually forming a true spiritual figure.
That phantom was Lin Fan's spiritual body!
Compared to before, it was dozens of times more refined.
The pressure it gave off far exceeded the limits of a high-level Talisman Master.
Sitting cross-legged, Lin Fan abruptly opened his eyes.
His pupils glowed with brilliant spiritual light, sharp enough to pierce reality—
The stone floor beneath him cracked open with twin fissures!
"I've done it. I'm a Celestial Talisman Master."
Exhaling deeply, Lin Fan revealed a satisfied smile.
He stretched his slightly stiff neck, stood up, and walked out of the room.
After a month in seclusion, it was time for a break.
Wandering through the Lin Family estate, Lin Fan was immediately greeted by awed stares from the younger generation.
To them, he was a living legend.
But Lin Fan didn't mind the distance his strength had created between them.
To him, the only people who truly mattered in the Lin Family were Lin Xiao, Liu Yan, Qing Tan, Lin Dong, and maybe Lin Zhentian.
It had been more than four months since he and Lin Dong had parted.
He wondered—had Lin Dong finished refining the Devouring Ancestral Talisman yet?
Whoosh!
As he was lost in thought, a fiery red shadow shot toward him like lightning.
It was Xiao Huo'er, the Fire Python Tiger raised by Qing Tan.
And sure enough, riding on its back was Qing Tan, grinning from ear to ear.
"Brother Lin Fan, you're finally out! You were gone so long this time!"
She jumped down and clung to his arm with a soft, playful voice.
"Hehe, I guess I was. Cultivation can't be rushed," Lin Fan replied with a chuckle.
Qing Tan beamed. "Then… shouldn't you take some time to relax now?"
Lin Fan smiled and flicked her forehead.
"You just want me to take you shopping, don't you?"
Just then, the familiar system notification rang in Lin Fan's mind:
[Ding! You touched Lin Qing Tan and received 1,000,000 Nirvana Pills!]
Lin Fan's heart skipped slightly, but he kept a calm expression.
He was used to surprise rewards like this by now.
"Hey, same thing!" Qing Tan pouted, gently brushing away his hand.
Lin Fan shook his head with a laugh. "Alright, alright. Let's go for a walk."
"Hehe, I knew you were the best!" Qing Tan cheered.
And so, the two of them strolled through Flame City.
Even though Lin Fan had been gone for a while, the people of the city hadn't forgotten his face.
Whenever they saw him, they bowed in deep respect.
Lin Fan found the stroll a little boring, but Qing Tan was full of energy and excitement.
By the time sunset approached, they finally returned to the Lin Estate.
Given Lin Fan's current fame, no one in Flame City dared challenge him, so nothing unpleasant occurred.
In the following days, Lin Fan didn't go back into deep seclusion.
He cultivated daily, experimented with refining a bit of energy from the Spirit Seal, strolled with Qing Tan, and occasionally gave cultivation guidance to the Lin Family juniors.
Life had become rather peaceful.
Just like that, another four months passed.
During that time, Lin Fan overcame his first Wind and Thunder Tribulation, breaking through to Second Nirvana Stage!
Qing Tan, despite not training very diligently, reached advanced Spirit Creation Stage.
Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao broke into peak Yuan Dan Stage.
Even Liu Yan, with Lin Fan's resources, made rapid progress, reaching early Yuan Dan Stage.
The rest of the Lin Family also made great strides.
The entire household flourished with new vitality.
One day, Lin Zhentian gathered Lin Ken and his brothers, along with Lin Fan.
"Father, why have you called us?"
Lin Mang, always impatient, was the first to speak.
Lin Zhentian looked at them, eyes full of anticipation.
"In less than three months, the once-in-a-decade Clan Assembly will begin."
"I've decided—we'll go as a whole family. Since it's a long trip and we'll be moving slowly, I want to set off early."
Clan Assembly.
Upon hearing those words, Lin Ken, Lin Mang, and Lin Xiao all stiffened.
Especially Lin Xiao—his face turned complicated.
Ten years ago, that very assembly had destroyed his reputation—
Turning a proud genius into a humiliated cripple.
Lin Fan, however, remained calm.
The Lin Clan's internal gathering no longer interested him.
What he truly looked forward to was the Hundred Empire War—a battlefield of blood and glory.
