Chapter 1763: Teachings from the Master of Fangchun Mountain
This had never happened in history, ever.
Rumble!
It was as though a gorgeous galaxy was falling down as all the light surged toward Lin Xun alone.
And then, an unbelievable scene unfolded: Lin Xun raised his right hand and absorbed the entire river of light like a bottomless abyss.
Bathed in a brilliant glow, he swallowed the sky with one hand!
There were shocked gaps in the area.
What is going on?
Is Lin Xun performing his Saint Path Ritual?But, isn’t this kind of commotion too jarring?!
“Grabbing the sun and moon with a sleeve, holding the heavens in the palm!”
That echoing voice kept resounding in Lin Xun’s mind.
His palm was boiling hot as the endless light poured in. A layer of mysterious dao diagrams seemed to be imprinted on his fine palm lines, though it was extremely vague.
“I get it, I understand now…” Lin Xun’s mind opened up in an epiphany.
Lin Xun had obtained the daoist verse of teachings left by the Master of Fangchun Mountain, but he had never truly received any lecture or teaching from the latter.
His knowledge and skills included the Sacred Combat Art left by his arrogant senior brother, the Extreme Absolute art passed down by Senior Brother Xuan Kong, and the Grand Dao Yellow Court Classic from Senior Brother Ge Yupu…
None of them had come from the Master of Fangchun Mountain.
And this mysterious daoist verse had always been kept inside the Dao Endless Pagoda.
Now, Lin Xun finally found out that the daoist verse of teachings from the Master of Fangchun Mountain was actually hidden on Fengshan Platform!
“Treading the starry path, strolling up Kunlun.”
This line referred to the peak of Mount Kunlun.
“Grabbing the sun and moon with a sleeve, holding the heavens in the palm.”
This line referred to the dao teachings that were hidden in the universe above him!
However, Lin Xun had never once associated these verses with Mount Kunlun.
It was only after arriving at this place that he, by coincidence, was able to figure out the truth behind it.
In a trance, Lin Xun seemed to see the past where the Master of Fangchun Mountain had strolled up Kunlun and ascended to the universe.
A wave of his sleeve could take the sun and the moon.
A stretch of his hand could absorb all the mysteries of the heavens!
“The Kunlun Dominion must be closely related to the Fangchun Mountain lineage!” Lin Xun was more and more certain of this.
In the Peach Utopia Secret Realm, there were traces left by that unruly senior brother.
On the peak of Imperial Dragon Mountain, there were traces left by Senior Brother Li Xuanwei.
For countless years, Senior Brother Ge Yupu had been guarding God Binding Heavenly Peak.
And today, on the top of Mount Kunlun, the teachings left behind by the Master of Fangchun Mountain had been found!
This series of clues and truths pointing to Mount Fangchun all existed within the Kunlun Dominion, which was one of the four great dao dominions that had existed since ancient times.
This meant there was bound to be an inseparable connection between Fangchun Mountain and the Kunlun Dominion!
“He…he couldn’t have obtained the secret to ‘becoming an Emperor and an Ancestor,’ could he?” exclaimed someone in a cracked voice.
A single question shook the hearts of Zhuanyu Heng, Tang Su, and everyone else present, and their faces all changed colors.
Throughout history, there had been a rumor circulating on the Ancient Nebula Road that the Fengshan Platform, one of the three forbidden places in the Kunlun Dominion, concealed a supreme fortune that concerned the way to become an Emperor and an Ancestor.
However, a long period of time had passed and no cultivator had ever been able to find this supreme fortune at Fengshan Platform.
Even so, many great powers on the Ancient Nebula Road still firmly believed that it existed!
Now that everyone present had witnessed the unprecedented changes that Lin Xun had triggered after ascending the five-colored altar, who wouldn’t suspect that he had touched the secret of becoming an Emperor and Ancestor?
To become an Emperor, an Ancestor!
This was a completely different concept from the opportunity to realize one’s Emperor dao to become an Emperor because it would make even Emperor experts fight to the death to seize it!
If the Ancient Nebula Road knew about this, then there was no need to doubt that those terrifying big powers and old relics would crawl out of the woodwork one after another.
At the moment, many mouths became dry with thirst, and their hearts were in turbulence.
Has he really captured such a supreme fortune?
“Ridiculous, Lin Xun is only a supreme Big Saint and still has a long way from the Emperor Stage. With his current depths and strength, how could he possibly have the chance to touch that kind of opportunity?”
A cold grunt came from A’hu when she noticed that the atmosphere wasn’t right. Everyone, including Zhuanyu Heng and Nie Jianchen, were looking at Lin Xun differently from before: there was now restlessness and the urge to take action in their eyes!
“Fate can defy everything else. Who’s to be sure that what Lin Xun has just harvested isn’t a chance pertaining to becoming an Emperor and an Ancestor?” said Tuo Chenghai with a flickering gaze.
The others were silent, but it was clear that they felt the same way.
A’hu’s heart sank. If this news was spread, then Lin Xun would definitely become a delicious cake in the world’s eyes.
Even if he could eventually kill his way out of the Kunlun Dominion, he still had to come to the Ancient Nebula Road later. At that time, who would just watch this young man who carried the secret of becoming an Emperor and an Ancestor go about freely without doing anything?
Even Emperor experts would probably forsake their dignity and reputation to move against Lin Xun!
Booooom!
The universe above suddenly started rumbling. One after another, the stars collapsed and fizzled out. In just a few breaths, the endless galaxy turned into an empty vault of void.
The stars had fallen forever, never to exist again from this moment on!
Meanwhile, within the lines of Lin Xun’s right palm, a mysterious diagram emerged: three stars aligned around a high-hanging, slanted crescent moon.
Crescent moon, three stars.
They drew the word 心 – heart!
The land of Fangchun also referred to the ‘heart.’
And at the gate of the Fangchun Mountain, there had once been a monument engraved with ‘crescent moon three stars’!
Many memories flooded back to Lin Xun.
He recalled the drawings he had seen when he had first entered the Return Dominion and obtained the Sacred Combat Art.
The collapsed mountain gate, the broken stone monument on which was the blurred phrase ‘crescent moon three stars’…as well as the unruly figure kneeling in front of them!
He remembered how proud Senior Brother Xuan Kong had been when talking about Fangchun Mountain and his fellow disciples…
He remembered the huge setback that the Omega Lord Luo Tongtian had once encountered in the Return Dominion…
He thought of how Demon-Beast Emperor Dutian, who was still sealed within the Dao Endless Pagoda, had cursed at Old Bodhi like crazy…
All of Lin Xun’s thoughts eventually gathered on the ‘crescent moon three stars’ daoist diagram in his palm.
He inexplicably wondered, Does this…count as me formally receiving Master’s teachings?
He actually already had an answer.
Yes.
This is the teachings!
Because within the diagram in his right palm, there hid the heritage of becoming an Emperor and an Ancestor!
And it was knowing this that informed Lin Xun that the secret of becoming an Emperor and an Ancestor that had circulated on the Ancient Nebula Road as a rumor indeed existed.
The reason why no one had been able to obtain it since the beginning of its existence was that none of those who had arrived at the Fengshan Platform were descendants of Fangchun Mountain!
In other words, this fortune was reserved by the Master of Fangchun Mountain for their own heirs.
“I come from the world of mortals, gently tapping on the gate of longevity. Using a magical technique to see one’s true nature, to bestow Dao onto the fated person…”
The bell-like voice resounded in Lin Xun’s mind once again.
And then, the diagram in his right palm emitted a strange and obscure light, which then quietly disappeared into his flesh.
However, Lin Xun knew that the teachings were right here in his grasp.
“Using a magical technique to see one’s true nature, to bestow Dao onto the fated person…” murmured Lin Xun.
He recalled all the things that had happened in his past and took a deep breath at the end of it. For the first time in his cultivation, he felt a complete sense of belonging to Fangchun Mountain.
“Disciple Lin Xun offers his utmost gratitude to you, Master!” he uttered solemnly.
By this moment, calm had been restored on Fengshan Platform.
However, the gazes of the crowd toward Lin Xun had completely changed.
“Lin Xun, did you just obtain the secret of ‘becoming an Emperor and an Ancestor’?” Tuo Chenghai was the first who was unable to hold it in.
The others also looked at Lin Xun expectantly.
“None of your business,” snorted Lin Xun. He could tell from a glance that not only Tuo Chenghai, but Zhuanyu Heng and the others had also undergone a subtle change in their mentality.
“You…” Tuo Chenghai’s face flushed red.
But Lin Xun paid no more attention to him. He looked up at the sky, his clothes fluttering and his aura ethereal.
Booooom!
The universe overhead had become a complete void with neither stars nor any sort of light. There was nothing but emptiness and silence.
However, at this moment, an inexplicable force started steaming and rumbling.
And on the five-colored altar, an ancient black stele appeared.
Everyone was dumbstruck. This guy’s luck is just unbelievable! Not only did he obtain the great fortune of ‘becoming an Emperor and an Ancestor,’ but he’s also pressing on to seal his Saint Path?
Lin Xun didn’t rush to engrave his name on the stele. He thought about it for some time before finally making a decision.
Buzz!
Gathering the power of will around him on his fingertip, he started engraving.
“Lin Daoyuan[1]!”
Daoyuan was not Lin Xun’s given name, but rather the Dharma name he had established for himself after sealing his Saint Path and becoming a Sage.
Of the fifty daos, forty-nine could be derived. The final one escaped, which was the variable.
Among the successors of Fangchun Mountain, Lin Xun was this ‘final one.’
Lin Xun’s dao had started with his own Origin Aeth Artery being ripped away from him, and now it was founded on the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer.
Therefore, Lin Xun named himself Daoyuan, establishing himself as the dao and the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer as the ‘one’!
The Fengshan Dao Stele glowed and rose into the sky with a deep, buzzing sound.
Thirty thousand feet.
Sixty thousand feet.
Eighty thousand feet.
As they watched Lin Xun’s stele charge up into the sky and go higher, Zhuanyu Heng’s crowd felt their hearts tremble.
As the stele easily reached eighty thousand feet and rocketed on to the ninety thousand mark, they all almost couldn’t believe their eyes.
What the…? Isn’t this stele a little too energetic?!
At first, Zhuanyu Heng’s ritual achievement had been dazzling and unmatched. However, Hua Xingli had surpassed him after, which was already unexpected and shocking.
But now, Lin Xun, whom they had originally viewed as out of hope, had miraculously become a Sage and even sent his stele up ninety thousand feet in one fell swoop. Who was not appalled?
Ninety thousand feet in the air, there were only three Fengshan Dao Steles. Each of them was like a sun, blazing like an overlord.
At this moment, a new member joined them, and it was the Fengshan Dao Stele belonging to Lin Xun!
Tang Su couldn’t help but lament, “He’s usually quiet, but when he makes a sound, it’s a deafening one…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she froze there once again, her eyes going round.
