When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

"And who are you?" Lin Xuan asked.

The old woman snorted and said, "Ignorant brat, I am the old woman of Yunxu!"

Mu Ling asked, looking completely bewildered, "What 'emptiness'?"

Lin Xuan smacked him and said, "Say less. This is the wife of our Lin family patriarch, Lin Daoxuan."

The old woman from Yunxu looked at Lin Xuan with great interest and said, "Your Lin family? So, you're a descendant of Lin Daoxuan?"

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, junior Lin Xuan greets Grandmother."

The old woman from Yunxu nodded and said, "You're quite the smooth talker, lad. Since you're a descendant of the Lin family, it's only right and proper that I give you this scroll of time, but..."

"But what?" Lin Xuan asked.

"But why did you lie to me?"

After speaking, the old woman from Yunxu suddenly launched an attack, striking Lin Xuan with a palm.

The old woman from Yunxu was a martial arts practitioner in her previous life, but now she has become a bound spirit. Therefore, her attacks carry the power of both martial arts and the bound spirit.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan reacted quickly, leaping aside to dodge, and said, "When did I lie to you?"

"Although you possess the supreme bone of the Lin family, you do not have the blood of the Lin family flowing through your veins. You are not a descendant of the Lin family!" the old woman from Yunxu rebuked.

Lin Xuan listened, and was greatly surprised.

Could it be that he doesn't have the blood of the Lin family flowing through his veins? Could it be that he has lived two lives and has never been a member of the Lin family?

"Grandma, I'm not lying to you. I grew up in the Lin family. My father's name is Lin Jiangxian, my grandfather's name is Lin Chengquan, and my great-grandfather's name is..."

"Enough!" The old woman from Yunxu interrupted Lin Xuan. "If you were truly a descendant of Lin Daoxuan, you should have been possessed by him long ago at this age."

"Possessed?" Lin Xuan was stunned.

"But now, you're still standing here unharmed, which means that your Supreme Bone wasn't inherited, but rather stolen by you through murder and robbery!" the old woman from Yunxu shouted.

Lin Xuan wanted to explain, but Mu Ling said, "Why are you wasting your breath talking to her? She's just a bound spirit. If you're going to fight, then fight!"

After saying that, Mu Ling charged directly towards the old woman from Yunxu.

"Don't fight yet!"

Lin Xuan grabbed Mu Ling's belt and pulled him back forcefully.

Because of Lin Xuan's intervention, Mu Ling lost his balance and fell face-first to the ground with a "thud," using his face to brake back to his original position.

"What are you doing?" Mu Ling stood up and asked.

Lin Xuan didn't answer him. Instead, he stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Grandma, Lin Xuan absolutely did not lie. Everything I said is true!"

He told the old woman of Yunxu everything that had happened in the Daqing Dynasty, as well as the various past events of the Lin family.

The old woman from Yunxu frowned. Seeing that Lin Xuan didn't seem to be lying, she asked, "Is everything you've said true?"

"Absolutely true!" Lin Xuanyi said righteously, "If there is even a single lie, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."

The old woman from Yunxu snorted and said, "So, Lin Daoxuan has failed."

"Failure?" Lin Xuan looked at the old woman from Yunxu with a puzzled expression.

The old woman from Yunxu sighed and said, "Are there still immortals in the mortal realm these days?"

"Of course not," Lin Xuan said.

"As expected." The old woman from Yunxu sighed, "Since the connection between heaven and earth was severed, there can no longer be immortals in this mortal world, and immortality has naturally become an illusion."

"What Grandmother said... Lin Xuan doesn't understand," Lin Xuan said.

The old woman from Yunxu said, "You only need to know that there can no longer be immortals in the human world."

Lin Xuan remained silent, thinking: So, is this why I was unable to break through to become an immortal in my previous life?

Lin Xuan then asked, "What does Grandmother mean by 'possession'?"

The old woman from Yunxu said, "Since the severing of the connection between heaven and earth, there have been no more immortals in the human world. Therefore, if one wants to live forever, there is only one way: to seize another's body."

"When the physical body decays, one can seize a younger body and repeat this cycle, thus achieving immortality in a certain sense."

"And your Lin family's method is to use the transplantation of the Supreme Bone to complete the possession."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan was greatly surprised.

This Supreme Bone is not some cultivation tool, but rather a tool for possession.

But this also puzzled Lin Xuan. Since the Supreme Bone was transplanted for the purpose of possession, why is Lin Xuan still alive and well and has not been possessed?

Lin Xuan told the old woman from Yunxu about his question.

The old woman from Yunxu said, "That's what I'm also curious about..."

"Grandma, since you say that the Supreme Bone is used for possession, then is my father Lin Jiangxian himself, or is he the ancestor Lin Daoxuan?" Lin Xuan asked.

The old woman from Yunxu said, "Lin Daoxuan."

Lin Xuan was startled.

His father, who had raised him for many years, Lin Jiangxian, the Prince of Zhenbei in Daqing, was not the real Lin Jiangxian, but the ancestor of the Lin family, Lin Daoxuan, who had possessed Lin Jiangxian's body.

"I think perhaps his death came too suddenly, so he didn't have time to possess another body, which is why you are able to live well," the old woman from Yunxu explained.

"I'm afraid this is the only explanation," Lin Xuan said.

Mu Ling was completely confused and had no idea what they were talking about.

He only understood one thing: Lin Xuan had taken his father's bones out and put them into his own body.

"Wait a minute, I have a question!" Mu Ling stepped forward. "Why did your father make you take his bones out and put them back in for you?"

"Yeah, why?" Lin Xuan asked, puzzled.

Logically speaking, the transplantation of the Supreme Bone is for the purpose of possession, but Lin Jiangxian is already dead, so what is the point of transplanting the Supreme Bone?

"You're asking me? I'm asking you!" Mu Ling said irritably.

Lin Xuan looked up at the old woman from Yunxu and asked, "Grandma, do you know why?"

The old woman from Yunxu shook her head and said, "I don't know. Lin Daoxuan has always done things this way, making him unpredictable."

Mu Ling scratched his head and said, "Wait a minute, let me sort this out. Cultivation is for becoming an immortal, and becoming an immortal is for achieving longevity. But we can't become immortals now, so we have to rely on possession to achieve longevity, right?"

"Hmm." Lin Xuan nodded, looking at Mu Ling with great interest, wanting to see what he could deduce.

Mu Ling continued, "Does that mean if you can't become an immortal, you'll possess another body, and if you can't possess another body, you'll become an immortal? I bet your old man just became an immortal!"

Lin Xuan and the old woman from Yunxu stared at Mu Ling in disbelief for a long while before chuckling and changing the subject.

Mu Ling said, "What do you mean? Am I wrong?"

Lin Xuan said, "It's true that you choose to possess another body to achieve immortality because you can't become an immortal, but who told you that you should become an immortal if you can't possess another body? You can't become an immortal now!"

Mu Ling said, "What if there's a loophole? That old woman Xu said there are no more immortals in the mortal realm, but that doesn't mean there can't be immortals in the upper realm! What if she abandoned her physical body and ascended directly to the upper realm?"

This statement stunned Lin Xuan.

There are many ways to become an immortal, but cultivating oneself to attain immortality is the most orthodox method.

But they all overlooked one thing: the way to become an immortal does not necessarily have to be orthodox.
