"Although the details of the Heavenly Secret Jade Slip's deduction aren't entirely clear, they're generally correct. It gave my father the upper hand. It seemed like he hadn't thought it through, but in fact, he had it all planned out long ago. Everything was within our expectations. Ancestor Nan Hua, you defy the will of heaven and go against the tide of events. How could you not be defeated?"
He looked at Lin Yang as if he was looking at a rare treasure. Lin Yang thought to himself
"It seems that I play an important role in the future predicted by the Heavenly Secret Jade Slips."
If you think about it, the self who has the system and wants to save the world is the trend of the times and will definitely occupy an important position in the future.
"I'm afraid I'm the core of my father's plan."
Lin Yang thought sadly
Lin Yang wanted to change the subject, so he said
"Father, tell me about Ancestor Nan Hua. How did you defeat her?"
"Although Ancestor Nan Hua is from a legitimate family and is the most favored legitimate daughter, she is not the heir and has not received any education from the clan leader. She has significant personality flaws and is a self-taught manager. She's okay in her areas of expertise, but when it comes to managing the entire family, her abilities are indeed far from ideal."
"Defeating her strategically isn't difficult; the difficulty lies in the fact that she's a Spiritual Transformation Ancestor, the natural ruler of the clan. It's simply impossible to defeat her completely. The fact that successive clan leaders have been able to suppress her is proof of this. This is a world of cultivation, where the realm of cultivation is paramount. After the demonic disaster, only two Spiritual Transformation Ancestors remain in our direct lineage. One is in seclusion, and the other is seriously injured. He's also Ancestor Nan Hua's father. After losing the support of the Spiritual Transformation Ancestors, my great-grandfather immediately fell into a passive position. But as long as there's still a Spiritual Transformation Ancestor to leverage, my great-grandfather can deal with her."
"Unfortunately, the last ancestor who supported us, Huashen, has passed away. The ancestor Qinglian, who was in seclusion, has not responded. The trend in the cultivation world has also been won by the alliance. The direct line was plotted against by the ancestor Nanhua, leaving only one heir. Grandfather had no choice but to retreat."
"I saw in the Tianji Jade Slip that Patriarch Qinglian was still alive and could be awakened, so I had the courage to enter Xuanhuang City. Otherwise, I would have had to suppress my cultivation in another way. I would never have dared to advance to the Golden Core stage and come to Xuanhuang City, breaking the agreement between my great-grandfather and Patriarch Nanhua."
"Then there was a battle of political intrigues. My method of defeating Nanhua Patriarch was very simple. It was to find faults and enemies for Nanhua Patriarch."
"The worst mistake Patriarch Nanhua made was his neglect of the Dark Guard Training Camp. This caused the clan's Dark Guards to decline with each generation. The Dark Guards and the Dark Guard Training Camp have always been the domain of our direct lineage. Later, when Patriarch Beiyang was young, he was very concerned about the Dark Guards and even trained there. After Patriarch Beiyang reached the Divine Transformation stage, he handed the Dark Guards over to him for management. However, the Dark Guard Training Camp has always been in the hands of our direct lineage. Patriarch Nanhua was prejudiced against the Dark Guards and did not value the Dark Guard Training Camp. He simply abandoned the Dark Guard Training Camp, which was designed to train comprehensive combat professionals, and turned it into a place to train death squads. It was a complete waste of resources. There are other mistakes as well, and I can point them out at the Elders' Meeting. No one who can cultivate to the Divine Transformation stage is stupid. Letting them manage directly might not be able to manage well, but letting them find and correct mistakes is a good idea. This is also the original intention of establishing the Elders' Council."
"Looking for enemies. In fact, Ancestor Nanhua has too many enemies. When she came to power, the original opponents thought they would gain a lot of benefits, but what they got was far different from their expectations. The opponents who originally supported Ancestor Nanhua against my direct lineage are now die-hard opponents of Ancestor Nanhua. Isn't that interesting?"
"After Patriarch Nanhua came to power, she severely suppressed all factions of the family. It can be said that the entire family is full of her enemies. There is no need to look for them. At the elders' meeting, she can easily point at anyone and they are all her enemies. However, Patriarch Nanhua is the God Transformation Patriarch, the spokesperson for all the God Transformation Patriarchs, and the ruler of the family. No matter how much hatred she has, she can only endure it."
"After I used the token of the Supreme Elders' Meeting and made the Supreme Elders' Meeting a regular event, Patriarch Nan Hua's downfall was inevitable. Even without me, she would have stepped down."
Lin Yang frowned and said
"Why is Patriarch Nanhua so unbearable?"
Having destroyed the clan's most powerful force, he had provoked enemies everywhere in the clan. How could this Nanhua ancestor be so incompetent? Could he even defeat their direct lineage? This was unrealistic.
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, and had to say objectively
"Actually, Ancestor Nanhua does have his merits. You know those orphanages spread across all the base cities? That's Ancestor Nanhua's masterpiece!"
"Ah!" The orphanage was the Lin family's strongest hematopoietic institution, providing the Guigu Lin family with a large number of talents from all walks of life. Such an institution was actually the work of Nanhua Patriarch.
"Ancestor Nanhua was an idealist. She felt great compassion for those wandering cultivators and mortals who possessed spiritual roots but lacked the talent for cultivation. Shortly after becoming the God Transformation Ancestor, she pushed for the establishment of an orphanage. However, the social environment at the time was not suitable. After thousands of years of peace, there were no jobs for children born in families. Even if the orphanage nurtured talented people, there was no way to arrange for them. This was also the root cause of the conflict between our direct lineage and Ancestor Nanhua!"
"After the demonic disaster, the family suffered heavy losses, and the supply of children born in the family was insufficient. Thus, the orphanages that Nanhua Patriarch had supported for thousands of years were closed down. Just by building a few, they brought great vitality and vigor to the family, causing Nanhua Patriarch's power to skyrocket."
"After ancestor Nanhua defeated our direct lineage and seized power, he did only this one thing: vigorously promoting the orphanage and reserving a large number of talents for the family. However, the vigorous promotion of the orphanage consumed a large amount of the family's funds and resources, causing many family members to complain. It also made ancestor Nanhua have enemies everywhere in the family."
Lin Yang asked in confusion
"Even so, our family should be getting stronger and stronger. Why do I hear that in the past few hundred years, our family has been getting weaker and weaker, and has already reached the bottom. Is it because of my father that we have risen again?"
Lin Fan smiled
"Having talent doesn't guarantee strength! Especially for an institution like an orphanage, where results can only be achieved after two or three hundred years of persistence. The Nanhua Patriarch has expended a vast amount of resources, laying the foundation. This is naturally different from other large families who invest resources in secret guards, research and development, and other areas to increase their power."
Objectively speaking, our family's rapid rise over the past thirty years is largely due to the Nanhua Patriarch's orphanage. Without the orphanage's nearly three hundred years of cultivating diverse talent across various fields, our family's business expansion, the quality of the students in the Secret Guard training camp, the administrative staff of various cities, and so on, all contributed to our success without a shortage of personnel. This is all thanks to the Nanhua Patriarch. "Please search on WeChat or wait for your intimacy."
