I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Leaving the secret realm and stepping out of his secluded cultivation room, Lin Che took a deep breath of the fresh air outside and ascended into the sky on his sword.

He was just about to inquire about the progress of the chamber of commerce's construction when he heard a familiar laugh.

"Haha! The Xuan Yuan Zhen Yue Grand Formation is complete! As expected of me! Little Qingqing, isn't your master amazing?"

The laughter was so loud, so triumphant, and so undisguised that it could be heard clearly from a great distance.

Then came Lin Xuanqing's slightly helpless voice: "Sigh, amazing, Master, you're the best. You've asked this so many times already..."

"Hehe! Come on, let's go find your dad to inspect it!"

Lin Che looked in the direction of the sound and saw two figures running out from the direction of the ancestral hall.

Running at the very front was that petite figure, Qin Yulin, hopping and skipping like a happy rabbit.

Lin Xuanqing was pulled by the hand and jogged behind her, a hint of helplessness on his face.

Lin Che smiled and shook his head, then flew down on his sword and landed steadily in front of the two of them.

Through this period of contact, he has come to a thorough understanding of the master's preferences.

What she likes most is to be affirmed and praised.

After setting up a formation, he would always ask people, "Isn't it amazing?" and getting an affirmative answer would make him happy for the whole day.

If she were to receive a few more compliments like "A master is a master" or "Master Qin truly lives up to his reputation," she would be overjoyed.

Sure enough, she rushed out right on time as soon as I came out of quarantine.

This short man didn't look like a Golden Core cultivator at all.

But Lin Che knew that she had many hidden thoughts in her mind.

She had just emerged from seclusion when she successfully set up the formation and made a sound.

Isn't this just waiting for him to praise me?

Lin Che walked past the two people running towards him and turned his gaze to the direction they had come from.

Lin Family Ancestral Hall.

The newly built ancestral hall is located in the center of the island in the lake, facing south, and covers an area of ​​about three acres.

With its blue bricks and gray tiles, flying eaves and brackets, and a pair of stone-carved auspicious beasts standing in front of the door, the building exudes a solemn and dignified air with an extraordinary grandeur.

As the family grows and prospers, it becomes necessary to build an ancestral hall.

Although the founder is still alive, the rules must be established, the legacy must be passed on, and the family line must continue.

Of course, the main reason for building the ancestral hall at this critical juncture is for the family's formation.

"Master Lin!" Qin Yulin jumped in front of him, raised her small hand, and a warm jade tablet floated up from her palm and slowly fell into Lin Che's hand.

"I have accomplished my mission! The formation is now complete; come and inspect it!"

His tone was full of expectation, "Praise me, praise me!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Master Qin."

Lin Che took the jade tablet and probed it with his divine sense.

Inside the jade tablet, the basic information of the formation, the control methods, and the activation methods of various functions appeared in his mind one by one.

This is the "instruction manual" left by the formation master for the formation owner. It is clear and concise, without any secrets.

With a slight thought, Lin Che activated the control method on the jade tablet.

In an instant—

A thick, earthen-yellow light shield suddenly rose from beneath the ancestral hall!

The light shield spread rapidly in all directions from the ancestral hall, like an inverted giant bowl, completely enveloping the entire Shattered Star Lake area!

On the surface of the light shield, faint shadowy images of mountains and rivers appeared.

Those illusory figures were solid and heavy, layer upon layer, giving people a sense of oppressive "immovable as a mountain".

Standing under the light shield, one can clearly feel the calm and solidity emanating from the depths of the earth.

Qin Yulin stood with his hands behind his back, his little face full of pride, and began to introduce the items as if they were his own treasures:

"This formation is called the 'Mysterious Origin Mountain Suppressing Formation,' a high-grade third-tier formation."

"The core feature is its deep connection with the earth's veins. Most of the energy required for the formation to operate is drawn directly from the earth's veins, with very little consumption of spirit stones."

"It has extremely strong defense and additional damage reduction against physical impacts. According to my calculations, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator would need to bombard it continuously for more than an incense stick's time to break through it."

Lin Che nodded slightly.

He didn't just listen to Qin Yulin's introduction; he personally verified it.

He raised his hand and unleashed a simple magical strike on the light barrier.

The attack, powerful enough to crack a second-tier formation, landed on the Xuan Yuan Zhen Yue Formation, but only caused faint ripples on the surface of the light shield before disappearing without a trace.

The light shield itself remained completely still, without even the slightest sign of damage.

Lin Che stared intently at the screen.

He discovered that the energy bombarding the light shield did not disappear into thin air, but was absorbed and dispersed by the light shield, spreading outwards along the array patterns and eventually flowing into the earth's veins.

"This formation can neutralize the energy of an attack, dispersing it throughout the entire formation before channeling it into the earth's veins," Qin Yulin added at the opportune moment, his tone tinged with barely concealed pride.

"In theory, as long as it doesn't exceed the earth's tolerance limit, it can keep going."

Lin Che nodded.

It has extremely strong defensive capabilities, extremely low energy consumption, and can even neutralize attack energy.

The defensive capabilities of this formation are absolutely top-tier among third-grade high-level formations.

He didn't stop, and continued to activate the jade tablet.

The second function is startup.

In an instant—

All the creatures within the formation simultaneously felt a weight on their bodies!

Lin Che clearly felt an invisible force pressing down on him.

The gravity did not come from the outside, but was the power of the formation acting directly on the body, which was unavoidable and unstoppable.

Even with his Golden Core stage cultivation, he still felt his movements were somewhat sluggish, and his speed decreased by at least 20%.

Those clansmen and guest advisors who were busy in the clan's territory reacted even more strongly.

Someone was walking along when suddenly they stumbled.

Someone was holding a teacup when their hand trembled and spilled half of it.

Someone was flying on a sword when suddenly their body swayed and they almost fell.

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.

"What's going on?!"

"Such heavy pressure!"

"A formation! The patriarch is testing a formation!"

……

Qin Yulin continued his introduction, his voice tinged with pride:

"Once the 'Suppressing Mountains' effect is activated, enemies within the formation will feel as if they are burdened by a heavy mountain, their movement speed will decrease, their casting speed will decrease, and their ability to take flight will be completely suppressed."

These effects can be enabled as needed, or applied to a specific individual or group.

Lin Che watched this scene and nodded inwardly.

This gravity has a very significant effect on Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even he himself was significantly affected. Although he was not completely immobilized, his speed decreased and his true energy circulation stagnated, which could be fatal in a life-or-death battle.

The ability to "selectively suppress" further doubles the value of this formation.

With this formation, if any enemy invades the Lin family in the future, we can first suppress the leader of the enemy separately, and then concentrate our forces to defeat them one by one.

It can even suppress the speed of infiltrators to a minimum without alerting the enemy, ensuring they never return.

Lin Che put away the jade token, his face still showing little surprise.

He simply nodded slightly, his tone calm: "Not bad."

Qin Yulin blinked and stared at his face.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

That was the end of it?

She puffed out her cheeks, her little face filled with resentment.

He immediately dropped the preamble and began to explain the formation's most unique ability...
