I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

As both are of the wood element, this spirit beast will benefit greatly from being baptized during the moment when Su Wanwan's spirit body is awakening.

Not only can it greatly promote the awakening of one's bloodline and enable one to comprehend supernatural powers ahead of time, but it can also establish an incredibly deep bond with its future master from the very beginning of its birth.

Inside the cocoon of light, Su Wanwan, whose spiritual awakening was nearing completion, had her initial bewilderment replaced by a sense of enlightenment and joy.

She seemed to be able to "hear" the joyful whispers of every flower, grass, and tree around her, feel the pulse of the earth beneath her feet, and clearly perceive the complete dependence and closeness that the little life in the egg beside her showed her, like a fledgling returning to its nest.

The core essence of the "Myriad Beasts Manual" lies in its ability to govern all spirits.

At the moment of spiritual awakening, when her mind and spirit were most in harmony with heaven and earth, Su Wanwan was enlightened and finally truly grasped the essence of this technique.

As the azure light around her slowly receded and the lines on her brow stabilized, Su Wanwan gracefully landed back on the ground.

She lowered her head and hugged the emerald green, vibrant deer egg that radiated a gentle life force, her face still showing a hint of dazedness as she walked towards Lin Che.

"Master... what's wrong with me?" she asked softly, her voice filled with confusion.

There was also a hint of barely perceptible joy; she looked down and pointed to the spirit beast egg in her arms: "And what about this little guy?"

Lin Che smiled with satisfaction and explained in detail, "Wanwan, congratulations! Your Hundred Herbs Affinity Spirit Body has fully awakened! Coming from a family of alchemists, you must be familiar with this kind of spirit body. As for this little guy..."

He pointed to the egg in her arms: "This is one of the contracted spirit beasts I prepared for you, a mid-grade third-tier Forest Whispering Spirit Deer, which is very compatible with your wood spirit root."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the Liu siblings, who were watching him expectantly.

"Qingxue, Yunzhou, there's no need for you to be in a hurry. I've also prepared spirit beasts for you. Once you've mastered the basics of the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Technique,' I'll hand them over to you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunzhou's face instantly lit up with undisguised joy. He rubbed his hands together, already imagining what a majestic spirit beast he would obtain.

Although Liu Qingxue only nodded slightly and her expression remained aloof, the even more determined light that instantly ignited in her eyes revealed her inner desire to improve her strength as soon as possible and quickly master the Myriad Beasts Technique.

As time passed, the soaring dragon-shaped spiritual energy pillar completely subsided, and the massive spiritual energy was perfectly channeled and stabilized by the Rising Dragon Array, becoming closely integrated with the earth.

The entire spiritual vein, like a sleeping dragon, lies obediently beneath Shattered Star Lake, while the Rising Dragon Formation acts as its reins, firmly controlling it.

Lin Che manipulated the control array plate of the formation and activated the spirit-locking mode.

In an instant, the spiritual energy that had been constantly dissipating outwards was as if it were gathered up by an invisible hand, and no longer wasted a single bit.

He can now manipulate the array at will, turning the spiritual energy output on or off in any area above the spiritual vein, making the use of spiritual energy more efficient and concentrated.

Several cultivation areas were temporarily opened for Liu Qingxue and her two companions, as well as the Ironclad Alligator Turtle clan in the lake, to stabilize the spiritual energy output at the standard of a second-tier spiritual vein.

For now, this is the initial stage of the family business.

When planning facilities such as spirit fields, beast gardens, and alchemy rooms in the future, the concentration of spiritual energy in each area will be precisely adjusted according to needs.

Come back to your senses.

Looking down at the family's foundation, which had been transformed and was now filled with spiritual energy, a surge of heroic ambition to create a foundation for all generations welled up in Lin Che's heart, almost bursting out of his chest!

With a slight thought, the Azure Star Sword immediately responded, emitting a clear and melodious sword cry like a phoenix's, and transformed into an azure rainbow that landed beside him.

The sword, shimmering with a warm, spiritual light, steadily supported his figure. It then transformed into a dazzling stream of light, soaring into the sky and easily piercing through the ever-flowing spiritual light shield of the Nine Heavens Cloud Realm Array, hovering steadily a hundred feet in the air.

He stood with his hands behind his back on the sword, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

His lightning-fast gaze slowly swept over the outer perimeter of the formation below, where more and more cultivators had gathered upon hearing the news.

They all craned their necks, their faces a mixture of disbelief, shock, undisguised envy, and lingering doubt, like a pot of boiling porridge, buzzing with endless discussion.

Lin Che took a deep breath, the crisp and vibrant air of Shattered Star Lake refreshing his soul.

From this moment on, this spiritual land, along with the second-tier spiritual vein beneath it, finally belongs completely and rightfully to Lin Che and to the newly established Lin family!

A sense of accomplishment, of being in control of his own destiny and writing history with his own hands, surged through his chest and soared to the sky!

Without further hesitation, his spiritual energy surged forth, and his voice, like thunder from the heavens, carried majesty and boundless anticipation for the future, clearly resounding throughout every corner within fifty miles of Shattered Star Lake:

"Today, I, Lin Che, lead the Lin family to establish our headquarters and clan here at Shattered Star Lake!"

This announcement was like pouring cold water into boiling oil, instantly igniting an uproar among the crowd below!

"It's done! It's actually completed! From obtaining the development order to the family settling down, the Lin family... only took a month?!"

"It's not just fast! It's incredibly fast! That dragon-shaped pillar of spiritual energy that shot into the sky just now is definitely a second-tier spiritual vein! So the legend that Shattered Star Lake hides a spiritual vein is actually true!"

"Hiss... To establish a family on a second-tier spiritual vein, to pass on the family line, to have branches and leaves... This, this is a destiny that we rogue cultivators would never dare to dream of in our entire lives!"

As the sound wave passed, the group of independent cultivators instantly erupted in a frenzy, with exclamations, screams, and incredulous discussions all mingling together.

Countless eyes were fixed on the figure in the air, filled with extreme envy, and even a hint of deeply hidden jealousy—wishing they could take his place and become the one who founded the family!

Many cultivators' eyes burned with fervor as they frantically plotted how to establish a connection with the suddenly emerging Lin family.

Unlike the lone cultivators who were simply watching the spectacle or trying to curry favor, the spies from various families in Chuyang City, who were mixed in with the crowd, all had drastic changes in their expressions, their faces so gloomy they were almost dripping with water.

The Lin family's rapid rise has completely disrupted the original balance of power in this area!

They no longer cared about concealing their whereabouts and squeezed out of the crowd, either crushing communication jade talismans or using escape techniques, like frightened rabbits, running desperately towards their respective families at top speed.

This earth-shattering news, which is enough to overturn the existing situation in Chuyang City, must be reported immediately!

Among them, the Zhao family spy had the most unpleasant expression, his face ashen and tinged with dejection.

He practically ground his back teeth to powder, pushing his movement technique to its limit, leaving a trail of afterimages.

His heart was completely consumed by fear and the shadow of the family's severe punishment after the mission failed.

……

Below, on the island in the middle of the lake.

Liu Qingxue, Liu Yunzhou, and Su Wanwan looked up at the tall figure standing high in the sky, riding a sword, his robes fluttering, as if announcing the establishment of the family to the whole world.

Now that they have joined the Lin family, their fate is inextricably linked to this land and this family; their fates are intertwined!

An indescribable sense of excitement and pride welled up in their hearts.

Liu Qingxue's clear, cold eyes, as cold as a spring, were now fixed on the figure in the air.

Watching him solemnly announce the birth of the family under the spotlight, his domineering spirit and commanding presence stirred a subtle yet clear ripple in her otherwise calm heart.

A thought uncontrollably surfaced in her mind:

"A true man should live like this!"

At this moment, Lin Che's demeanor was so extraordinary and dazzling that it was like a ray of sunlight that shone into her long-lonely world without warning, leaving an indelible mark on her heart.
