Chapter 357: Where to Open the Golden Box

Lin Xuan looked at Zhou Zhang and Zhou Lan with some curiosity.

"Logically speaking, this box will open automatically in another eighty years. There is absolutely no need for you to tell me these things."

"You just need to keep it a secret from me, and then in eighty years these things will all belong to you."

Fan Lishi pursed her lips and said, human nature is the most unpredictable thing.

Zhou Zhang smiled silently and sighed softly.

"Indeed, I have thought about what Long Jianxian said. After all, your madam is such a strong person. The things she left behind may help our Zhou family rise completely."

"But your wife is too strong. She is so strong that I am afraid of her from the bottom of my heart. First, I don't believe that someone as powerful as her would not think about human nature. Second, I don't dare to gamble with the Zhou family."

Lin Xuan laughed. People do become more sophisticated as they get older, and they consider things more comprehensively.

If it were a young person, he might really want to monopolize this box.

"And I have another idea."

Zhou Zhang added.

"All ears."

Lin Xuan responded with a smile.

Zhou Zhang looked at Lin Xuan for a while, then suddenly stood up and bowed towards Lin Xuan.

"Long Jianxian, your talent has surpassed Ming Zun. I am betting on your future achievements!"

Zhou Lan was also looking at Lin Xuan with burning eyes at this time.

Fan Lishi smiled slightly, and looked at Lin Xuan with unconcealable love in her eyes.

Lin Xuan smiled confidently and could only say that Zhou Zhang was really good at judging people!

"Hahaha, okay, Senior Zhou, I accept what you said. Moreover, I really like the daughter-in-law you gave birth to for me. I am very satisfied with that girl Mo Xi."

Zhou Zhang and Zhou Lan couldn't help but smile when they heard Lin Xuan's words. By this calculation, Lin Xuan could be considered a royal relative of the Zhou royal family, and a family member.

"Okay, then, Dragon Sword Immortal, we will return this box to its original owner."

Zhou Zhang picked up the golden box and personally handed it to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan looked at the golden box, and his thoughts were suddenly brought back to more than 20 years ago.

At that time, he was still a weak Great Yuan Dan realm expert, but he didn't know that his wife was actually an unrivaled expert.

However, his wife finally chose to leave him and her newborn child. This definitely does not mean that Jun Mengyu is heartless.

Lin Xuan could see the deep love for himself in Jun Mengyu's eyes, so there was only one explanation.

Jun Mengyu must have encountered something, just like the melodramatic things written in vernacular novels.

Perhaps, Jun Mengyu encountered something that even she could not solve, and she did not want to drag herself and her son down, so she chose to leave.

"Well, let's do as my wife promised you. After this box is opened, the things that belong to you will be left to you, and the things that belong to my son will be given to my son."

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he put the box into his storage ring.

Zhou Zhang and Zhou Lan were very excited when they heard what Lin Xuan said. They had originally not planned to take the things left by Mrs. Lin Xuan, but they didn't expect that Long Jianxian was such a good person.

"Oh, by the way, I also want to ask about my eldest and second brothers whom I have never met."

Lin Xuan smiled and looked at Zhou Zhang. When Zhou Zhang heard this, he was suddenly stunned.

Zhou Lan's smiling face immediately fell silent.

"Haha, the two of them are my great-great-grandchildren. They were originally the greatest hope for the rise of our Great Wilderness!"

Zhou Zhang's eyes were cloudy, and he felt like he was entering the countdown of his life, but at this moment he couldn't stop feeling emotional and sad.

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He was really interested in the eldest and second senior brothers.

Zhou Zhang sighed and then said:

"The two of them have been fighting since they were young. Both of them are extremely talented. Later, they became Huangfu Lin's disciples and became his first and second disciples. Unfortunately, the eldest brother died when he encountered a strong enemy while training outside. As for the second brother, I don't know why he always wanted to be the emperor. I told him that in this world, strength is always the most important thing. The position of emperor is just an empty shell."

Lin Xuan also couldn't quite understand what his second senior brother had done. This was just the position of a secular emperor, and it didn't seem to be of much use. Why did he want this position so much?

Perhaps this is the obsession brought about by the fact that the second senior brother cannot compete with the eldest senior brother.

"Where did Second Brother go?"

Lin Xuan finally got to the point. The Divine Cult disappeared in the Great Wilderness Empire without a word, which was quite strange. Lin Xuan was very curious about it.

Zhou Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that I want to protect him, but I haven't seen him since I had a heated discussion with him twenty years ago. As for the fact that he left with his followers this time, maybe he has figured it out."

Lin Xuan doesn't believe in nonsense like "figured out". It would be too strange to suddenly figure out a goal that he has been pursuing for decades.

Zhou Lan smiled bitterly at this time: "He disappeared, not only him, but also the eighth prince Zhou Moxie disappeared, and the fourth prince, Zhou Moqian, also disappeared."

"And there's the Martial God Kong, right?" Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice extremely cold.

Lin Xuan did not have much murderous intent towards his nominal second senior brother, but as for the Martial God Kong, Lin Xuan really wanted to cut him into pieces!

"Wushen Kong..." Zhou Lan whispered the name.

"Oh." Zhou Zhang sighed again.

"This Wushen Kong's true identity is not simple. He seems to have a great relationship with the Heaven Realm."

"Heavenly Realm?" Lin Xuan was a little confused. How did this have anything to do with the Heavenly Realm?

Fan Lishi was a little confused by what she heard. How could a mid-level Great Wilderness Empire have so many colorful things?

"Haha, that's true. I'm not sure what the specific relationship is, but there is some connection. Because of this, my Zhou family indulged Wu Shenkong and didn't dare to intervene."

Zhou Zhang seemed a little self-deprecating. As a royal family of an empire, they didn't even dare to discipline the people below them. What kind of royal family was this? It was simply a joke.

Lin Xuan felt it was quite interesting. He never expected that so many strange things would happen in the Great Wilderness Empire. It was simply a pile of weird things.

"Okay, then I have a rough idea. No matter where Wu Shenkong goes, I have to find him!"

Lin Xuan's eyes did not conceal his murderous intent at all. Wu Shen Kong must die, because if Wu Shen Kong was not dead, Lin Xuan would not be comfortable even when he fell asleep.

Zhou Zhang and Zhou Lan exchanged glances, but neither said much.

"Okay, I now know almost everything I wanted to know today. Thank you, Elder Zhou, for telling me everything today."

Lin Xuan smiled and bowed slightly to Zhou Zhang.

"Haha, our Zhou family hopes to rely more on you, Long Jianxian, in the future."

Lin Xuan smiled slightly and said nothing. Not saying anything meant that Lin Xuan did not refuse.

Lin Xuan and Fan Lishi left immediately, leaving Zhou Zhang and Zhou Lan behind.

"Grandmaster, tell me whether this is good or bad for me."

Zhou Lan looked at the direction where Lin Xuan left, feeling a little emotional.

Zhou Zhang coughed twice, and his breath seemed even more broken. Zhou Lan supported Zhou Zhang with some concern.

Zhou Zhang smiled faintly, his eyes determined, as if he had made a very important decision.

"Zhou Mochen made a deal with the evil wolves of the Tiancang Temple in order to ascend the throne. It is no longer necessary for him to do so. The Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince should have followed Shi Tian out of the Qingtian Realm."

"Besides, that girl Mo Xi has no intention of taking the throne. Who do you think should be given the throne?"

Zhou Zhang looked at Zhou Lan with a smile.

Zhou Lan was stunned and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, ancestor, you know me, I don't want this position either."

"Hahaha." Zhou Zhang stroked his beard with a smile:

"Of course I know you don't want the throne, but you have to take over the throne temporarily. When the next emperor comes, you will be able to unload this burden."

"The next emperor!?" Zhou Lan was a little confused. Who would be the next emperor? How long would he have to wait?

"The next emperor will naturally be the child born to Mo Xi and Lin Fan."

"Ah?" Zhou Lan was even more surprised: "But ancestor, can the child born by Mo Xi and Lin Fan still belong to our Zhou family?"

Zhou Zhang took two slow steps forward and looked at the night sky. For a moment, he felt a lot of emotion.

"What's the big deal? Mo Xi and Lin Fan's child has half of his bloodline belonging to our Zhou family. Besides, Lin Xuan's grandson will be the emperor, so he, Lin Xuan, and Lin Fan, must do their best."

Zhou Zhang's words seemed to enlighten Zhou Lan. He took a deep breath and accepted Zhou Zhang's idea.

"But it will take a long time for both of them to have children, and they have to wait for the children to grow up."

"So I'll have to trouble you during this period, Lan'er. I have protected the Great Zhou for four hundred years. I am really tired. Perhaps my broken body can't hold on for much longer."

"Old Ancestor, you are blessed by heaven, nothing will happen to you."

“Hahaha, if I could see our Zhou family rise and return to its peak before I close my eyes, then even if I die, I will be smiling in my grave!”

……

After leaving the imperial city, Lin Xuan and Fan Lishi did not sit idle and went straight back to the Lin family.

As for Lin Wen and others, they were led by Lin Shi and others to rush towards the imperial city.

Lin Xuan returned to the Lin family and called his son directly.

"Meet father, meet Aunt Li Shi."

Lin Fan walked into the lobby and bowed to Lin Xuan and Fan Lishi with a smile.

Fan Lishi immediately stood up and said, "Xiao Fan, your father has something very important to tell you. You two should have a good chat today."

After saying this, Fan Lishi went straight to the lobby.

Fan Lishi is a very smart woman. Although she is already considered half a lady in the Lin family, Fan Lishi still does things in moderation.

Lin Xuan watched Fan Lishi walk out and smiled slightly. Although he had never thought of hiding it from Fan Lishi, after all, she was his woman, but Fan Lishi didn't think so. With such a wife, what else could a husband ask for?

Lin Fan watched his aunt walk out, and looked at Lin Xuan with some curiosity:

"Dad, is there something serious? Why are you being so secretive?"

Lin Xuan smiled slightly and took out the golden box directly.

When Lin Fan saw the golden box, he suddenly froze.

"Son, do you feel that there is something in this box that attracts you?"

Lin Xuan looked at Lin Fan with a smile. On the way back, Lin Xuan had also tried it, but no matter what Lin Xuan did, the box remained motionless and could not be opened at all.

Considering what Zhou Zhang said, this box can only be opened with Jun Mengyu's blood, and only Lin Fan has his wife's blood.

Lin Fan looked at the box, and involuntarily came to the front of the box, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and put it on the box.

"Father, I think I can feel this box calling me. My blood seems to be boiling, especially my vitality. I can't control it anymore."

Lin Fan looked at the box in shock, feeling that it was both strange and familiar.

Lin Xuan smiled and patted Lin Fan on the shoulder.

"This is what your mother left behind. Your blood is needed to open it. Try to mobilize your blood."

Bloodline and blood are two completely different things. Even if the Zhou family got Lin Fan's blood, they would not be able to open the box, because bloodline must either be stripped off using the secret method of ancient times or broken into pieces. There is no other way.

Bloodline is hidden in the blood, but only the owner can mobilize it, no one else can.

Lin Xuan didn’t quite understand these, and had only seen some similar records in the ancient books in the Jixia Academy.

After all, not everyone has bloodline. At least one has to reach the realm of all things to develop the power of bloodline.

Moreover, the power of blood is of great benefit to practitioners, so the talents of the direct descendants of the strong people in the Wanxiang Realm will not be too bad, because of the bonus of blood power.

However, the blood power of the Wanxiang Realm will not be very obvious, and generally speaking it will become very thin when it is passed on to the third or fourth generation.

Although Lin Xuan didn't know how powerful the bloodline hidden in his son's body was, it was definitely not weak.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, cut a bloody mark on the palm of his hand, and then placed his hand on the golden box again.

Soon, the box began to shake violently. Lin Xuan immediately let go of the box, only to see that the box suddenly burst into dazzling golden light.

Lin Xuan immediately used the mystery of darkness to cover an area of ​​eighty miles in radius, otherwise the golden light would have shone brightly.

There are still some powerful forces in the Great Wilderness Capital that have not left. If we are seen by those forces, it will only bring trouble to ourselves.

After the golden light was surrounded by darkness, the box was opened smoothly after a while...
