Lin Yang looked at the enthusiastic Lin Fan, his eyes sad as he murmured

"The best compensation?"

Although Lin Yang's voice was very low, Lin Fan still heard it and thought he was asking him. The enthusiastic Lin Fan answered excitedly:

"Yes, it's God's compensation! Our bloodline has lost so much for the sake of the cultivation world. But what did we get in return? Almost the entire family was wiped out. Sometimes I blame God for being unfair, but I didn't expect that God is so fair and finally responded to you. Lin Yang, you have made an indelible contribution to the resurgence of our bloodline!"

"Can you tell me more about those backgrounds and trump cards?" Lin Yang has regained his composure.

"You're my only son, so naturally I have to tell you. First, the clan leader's education began when you were eight. It was supposed to continue when you were eighteen, but you experienced a dramatic change when you turned eighteen, so it wasn't continued. Don't underestimate this education. Our direct lineage has been able to rule the family for tens of thousands of years without ever producing an unqualified clan leader, and this is inseparable from the clan leader's education. The education you completed from a young age was character development. You matured earlier than your peers, and your calm, suspicious, and decisive personality traits are actually the result of the clan leader's education."

Lin Yang stared at Lin Fan with wide eyes, his heart sinking. His personality had been shaped by the so-called patriarch's teachings? Was he still himself? It was an unanswerable question.

"Originally, I was supposed to study management next, but because of your dramatic change, I didn't continue. However, it seems you've taken a separate course called 'Management.' I've studied the regulations and systems you established. While the methods and approaches are strange and seem arbitrary and improvisational, I can tell they're a complete educational system, one that's both profound and self-contained. I believe these things were taught to you by that being. While they're somewhat incompatible with our world of cultivation, after some revisions, they're still quite good."

"The next thing to learn is the clan history. The clan history passed down by our clan leader is the most complete history book of the family. It contains many secrets and many annotations by clan leaders of various generations. Once you have learned the clan history, you will be qualified to become the clan leader. Then you will have to gain experience. After that experience, you can become the clan leader."

At this point, Lin Fan said to Lin Yang

"What you lack is only the history of your clan. If you want to learn it, I will send it to you."

"Thank you, father. I really want to see our family history. I have read the family history in the family library, but it is very simplified and brief, and it seems very boring."

"Haha, this is also our masterpiece. How can a public clan history be so detailed?"

"What is that hidden intelligence structure?"

"Well, I don't know if you know about the profession of reading Jane?!"

"I saw it once when I was organizing the mortal district. The mortal district only becomes lively when the jade slip readers read the jade slips. Could it be that these jade slip readers are..."

"Indeed. Our Guigu Lin clan originated with jade slips, so naturally, all of our intelligence structures are based on them. Originally, the Slip Readers weren't our primary intelligence agency, merely a dispensable, auxiliary one. However, after the demonic disaster, our other clan intelligence agencies suffered heavy losses, but the Slip Readers remained intact. Because of the structure of the base cities, their role increased significantly. They were reintegrated by our great-grandfather and became one of our main intelligence agencies. However, there were also shortcomings. While the intelligence capabilities of the base cities in the rear were very strong, they were much weaker in Xuanhuang City. Because our great-grandfather's attention was always focused on Xuanhuang City, he never used them. After their fall, no one noticed, and they were preserved, providing many advantages for our subsequent deployments."

"There aren't many magical treasures in this world, but with a lineage like ours that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, we've collected quite a few. However, during the demonic disaster and during the five hundred years of my great-grandfather's reign, we consumed a lot. There aren't many left now. I'll just talk about the two we've already used."

"The Supreme Elders' Council Token and the Heavenly Secret Jade Slip."

"The Supreme Elders' Council Token can unconditionally end the Divine Transformation Ancestor's retreat and initiate a council of five highest-level Divine Transformation Ancestors. In a clan like the Guigu Lin Clan, which has abolished the patriarch and instead relies on the Council of Elders as its decision-making body, this token is arguably the key to overthrowing the Nanhua Ancestor's rule. But this opportunity only comes once. If we don't find something that satisfies the Divine Transformation Ancestors who have forcibly emerged from their retreat, whetting their appetites and preserving the Supreme Council, the token will be useless. Therefore, it wasn't until you handed me the 'Five Elements Primordial Sword Technique' and made that bold guess that I decided to use it. Haha... As expected, the ingenuity of the 'Five Elements Primordial Sword Technique' and my guess immediately caught the attention of the Divine Transformation Ancestor who had emerged from his retreat, making the Supreme Elders' Council a regular practice. This immediately shattered the Nanhua Ancestor's dictatorial power. Haha..."

It seems that Lin Fan was very proud of the timing of using the token of the Supreme Elders' Meeting. He became very excited when talking about it and couldn't help himself.

"Where is the Heavenly Secret Jade Slip?"

"The Heavenly Secret Jade Slip is a rare treasure. Only one such special slip appears once every ten thousand years, and it's a one-time-only treasure. Our lineage only has three in its collection. Unfortunately, they've all been used in the last few hundred years."

During the initial battle at the start of the demonic disaster, our family deployed one, reportedly effective, but not significantly. On the battlefield, things change rapidly, the heavens are in turmoil. While these early arrangements gave our family a slight advantage, they quickly vanished. Instead, they caused our direct lineage to suffer heavy losses. Alas.

The second piece was from my great-great-grandfather's time. During the time when hundreds of schools of thought were competing with each other, he considered using the Heavenly Secret Jade Slip, but because of the lessons he learned on the battlefield, he held back. Later, the ancestor of the sword cultivators heard that our family had this item and came to seek it out, exchanging it for a Heavenly Secret Jade Slip.

According to clan history, one of the conditions of exchange given by his great-grandfather was for the ancestor of Tingjian Xiu to interpret the secrets of the Tianji Jade Slips for him.

The ancestor of sword cultivation, Ying Nuo, told his great-grandfather how to maximize the effect of the Tianji Jade.

The Jade Slips of Heavenly Secrets can seize the fortune of heaven and earth and deduce the secrets of heaven, but naturally there are many limitations.

The first limitation is the location of use. According to the ancestor of sword cultivation, it can only be used within the cultivation world, preferably in the foundation ground. Therefore, the one we used on the battlefield between the two realms is basically the least effective, and may even have a backlash.

The second limitation is cultivation. It is best to use it when you are at the Foundation Establishment stage. The ancestor of sword cultivation said, "The Foundation Establishment stage is the starting point for cultivators. Only at the starting point can you have a comprehensive view of the overall situation."

The third limitation is the goal. The ancestor of sword cultivation said that it is best used when it is a goal that requires long-term efforts in the world of cultivation. The Heavenly Secret Jade Slip will provide a very feasible and reliable strategy and predict the future.

"The Jade Slip of Heavenly Secrets is truly miraculous!"

Predicting the future. No wonder my father only needed twenty or thirty years to gain the power he has today. It seems the Heavenly Secret Jade Slip's ability to predict the future is truly invaluable, and the results are truly astonishing. Please search on WeChat or wait for your inquiries.
