All Swords Converge into One

Lin Yun was extremely shocked when he saw the towering large building in the distance!

He had no idea when this behemoth had suddenly popped up halfway up the desolate mountain!

Yes, a behemoth.

For Xiushui Village, a building of the Lingxian Main Hall's scale was already an incredibly grand existence.

Attracted by Lin Yun's exclamation, the others also followed his gaze.

Then, everyone let out a unified gasp of amazement: "Wow!"

Following that, their gazes uniformly swished over to look at Lin Xiao.

Even with their toes, they could figure out that this suddenly appearing large building was most likely his doing!

Lin Xiao rubbed his nose, coughed lightly, and said,

"This is our sect's main hall. Shall I take you all to have a look?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded in succession:

"Sure, sure!"

Thus, Lin Xiao led everyone toward the sect's main hall.

Arriving in front of the sect's main hall, everyone coincidentally raised their heads to look at the high-hanging plaque.

"Ah! I know the first three characters!" Hu Liang shouted.

But Qin Jianghe was already one step ahead of him, saying,

"The first two characters are Lingxian! Just like on the stone stele! The next character is 'Da' (Great)! Right, Brother Sun?"

The latter sentence was directed at Sun Yigao as he turned his head.

Sun Yigao, who was standing to the side, smiled faintly and nodded in agreement, then gave everyone an on-the-spot lesson:

"This last character is read as 'Dian' (Hall). You can understand it as a tall and large building, and as for our Lingxian Main Hall, I presume it should be used for discussing matters."

The crowd, who had recently become Sun Yigao's students, all nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. They hurriedly looked at the character 'Dian' a few more times, as if wanting to imprint it in their minds immediately.

Lin Xiao raised his hand and pressed it against the main doors.

The wooden doors felt very heavy to the touch. Lin Xiao exerted a little force and pushed the doors open at once.

The airflow stirred up by the opening of the heavy doors swept up the hems of everyone's clothes and the tips of their hair before letting them fall back down.

It was currently sunset, and the light had already begun to gradually dim.

However, as everyone looked into the main hall, all that met their eyes was brightness!

Looking closely, they discovered that the surrounding walls and pillars were inlaid with many glowing fragments. They were arranged somewhat messily, yet seemed to contain some hidden pattern.

Inside the main hall, at the very front was a high platform reached by a flight of stairs.

The rest of the place, however, was completely empty.

That high platform was presumably the spot for the person holding the authority to speak to stand.

And the remaining empty space was probably the place for the decision-makers with voting rights to stand.

Lin Xiao lifted his foot and was the first to step over the high threshold and walk in.

Everyone from the Lingxian Sect followed closely behind.

As soon as they entered the main hall, everyone felt a majestic and atmospheric sense of tranquility rush over them, making their entire bodies and minds feel as if they had been settled by this profound weightiness.

Lin Xiao was no exception.

He stood below the steps in front of the high platform, looking at the three deep black, radiantly glowing characters on the wall, feeling a subtle mix of emotions.

Lingxian Sect.

He had really established an immortal cultivation sect in a completely unfamiliar ancient era, in a small, obscure village nestled in the mountains.

Even though they, as sect members, were still very weak right now.

Even though their sect was still waiting to be rebuilt, lacking everything, and so poor it looked like a fake immortal cultivation sect.

However, it was also what they had achieved little by little through their hard work over these days.

The crowd standing behind Lin Xiao looked at this magnificent (to them) main hall before their eyes, and also felt their hearts surging with excitement.

This was their sect!

[Ding—Congratulations to the host! The sect's cohesion has gone off the charts, reaching 200%. Rewarding the Heaven-tier formation "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One". Please check and receive it.

Friendly reminder: Because this formation is a Heaven-tier formation, the cultivator's cultivation level must be at least greater than or equal to the Golden Core stage for the formation to be successfully cultivated. Otherwise, cultivating the formation will result in immediate death. Please cultivate with caution.]

!

Heaven-tier!

Awakened by the system, Lin Xiao had just seen the words 'Heaven-tier' and hadn't even had time to rejoice before he saw the subsequent requirement for Golden Core cultivation.

Well then, right now, even if their entire group's cultivation levels were stacked together by layers, they wouldn't be able to scrape together enough layers for a Golden Core stage.

This thing was good, but the timing of its appearance was wrong.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to toss the "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One" formation, which was currently as useless as chicken ribs, into his private storage to gather dust.

Having seen the sect's main hall, Lin Xiao had also harvested a wave of off-the-charts cohesion and a Heaven-tier formation manual, so he very happily waved his large hand, letting everyone go home early to eat.

Lin Xiao and Lin Yun returned to the old Lin family residence together.

In the courtyard under the setting sun, two dining tables had already been pushed together, with a stack of clean bowls and chopsticks piled on top.

Lin Ying, who was sitting at the courtyard gate playing and weaving a straw rope, immediately dragged the straw rope into the courtyard upon seeing the figures of Lin Yun and Lin Xiao, shouting to the adults chatting in the main room:

"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Youngest Uncle! Eldest Cousin and Second Cousin are back!"

Old Mrs. Lin, who was sitting on the kang bed listening intently to Lin Dashan bragging, was the first to react. She got off the kang and put on her shoes with very agile movements, walking briskly toward the kitchen.

"Oh, Erlang and Sanlang are back! I have to quickly bring out the dishes. Eldest daughter-in-law, come quickly and lend a hand—"

Lin's eldest aunt also followed closely behind into the kitchen.

The remaining men in the main room also stopped their conversation and stood up one after another to walk into the courtyard.

Lin Yan, who was hiding in the room sewing clothes, folded the torn clothes in her hands and put them aside, preparing to continue mending them tomorrow, before stepping out of the room.

Lin Yan and Lin Ying were both daughters of the Lin family's eldest branch, that is, Lin Dashan and the eldest aunt, Madam Qin.

Lin Yan was thirteen years old this year, and Lin Ying was six.

By the time everyone came out, Lin Yun and Lin Xiao had just reached the courtyard gate.

Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Lin and the eldest aunt had already brought several large sea-bowls of dishes to the table.

There were fully five sea-bowls, each larger than a person's face, filled to the brim with food. Although there was only one meat dish, every dish gleamed with plenty of oil, showing that a generous amount of oil had been used. Moreover, the steamed buns were made of proper three-grain flour, without any chaff mixed in. Each one was white and plump, looking very delightful.

Seeing that everyone standing in the courtyard had gathered, Old Mr. Lin swept his satisfied gaze over everyone's faces one by one, and then was the first to sit down.

Everyone else closely followed suit and sat down one by one.

Old Mr. Lin's face was ruddy. He picked up his bowl and said with full resonance:

"Let's eat!"

Everyone then picked up the bowls and chopsticks in front of them and started to vigorously dig into their food!

After everyone had eaten past their initial hunger, they began to slow down.

Old Mr. Lin picked his teeth, picked up a small chopstickful of vegetables, put it in his mouth, chewed a bit, and said to Lin Xiao:

"Sanlang, you made big money today! Listening to what your eldest uncle and your dad said... is that immortal cultivation of yours... actually real?"

Lin Xiao also imitated his grandfather's manner, picking up a chopstickful of vegetables and chewing a bit, before replying with a comfortable look:

"Yes, Grandpa, my immortal cultivation is absolutely real. Do you want to try it out with me? You see, you're getting on in years; cultivating with me might even prolong your life!
