Starting as a clan leader: My rules are a bit wild.

Chapter 737 Lin Fan's Sacrifice to the Dao (Part 1)
The great calamity of a thousand years will surely be extremely terrifying!
Based on his previous experiences and the current situation, Lin Fan estimated that the great calamity of a thousand years would probably be on par with the strange plateau!

If that's really the case, then my current cultivation level is truly insufficient!

There aren't even enough offerings for the ritual!
After all, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor was killed during his sacrificial ceremony.

And 'here' will only get stronger!

"No, I must immediately go into seclusion, prove my Dao, and break through!"

"At the very least, one must truly worship the Dao and master the Great Dao of Power!"

"Dry!"

Lin Fan was about to go into seclusion again when he sensed something was wrong.

We have to do both!
Therefore, he immediately used three thousand celestial flower avatars to go into seclusion and comprehend the Dao, while he himself brought over three maids to "cultivate together".

Never let any opportunity to become stronger slip by!

······
While Lin Fan was frantically going into seclusion...

In the realm of gods, Chen Bei finally regained his own memories.

"turn out to be···"

"My name is not Chen Bei."

"My original name was... Chen Nan?"

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

What's this?
North and south are reversed, this... this...
Looking back on his experiences over the years, he felt particularly emotional.

"However, let it be reversed; it's fine this way."

"From this day forward, there will be no more Chen Nan in the world, only me, Chen Bei."

"But I will take back everything I've lost with my own hands!"

Chen Bei did not contact any sects, nor did he inform anyone he knew in this life.

I'm determined to take everything back myself.

Mainly...

Cough!

His past life identity and memories do not allow him to rely on others.

After all, he still has some status.

He couldn't bring himself to ask someone else to take back everything he had lost; he had no shame!
However, his enemies are no simple matter either.

Even if one regains their memories, their combat power will instantly soar to a level not much weaker than in their previous life, making it extremely difficult to succeed in a short period of time.

because···
His enemies are not simple.

What he ultimately wants to destroy is the heavens themselves!

That is...

The Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm!

"We must lie low first, not act rashly, and certainly not expose ourselves carelessly."

"Secretly accumulate strength, wait for the right moment, and then deliver a fatal blow with overwhelming force!"

Let's set a time.

"At once···"

"Completed within a thousand years!"

"···"

······
Time is like the Thousand-Armed Clan.

It was gone just like that.

The four hundredth year of conquest in foreign lands.

All four alien realms were conquered, everything was swept away, and the Immortal Palace began to reward those who had contributed, while the disciples of the Moon-Gazing Sect all returned home with huge profits.

Everyone made a fortune!

It's not just about resources; in fact, resources are only a tiny, insignificant part of it.

The greatest reward comes from cultivation!

The main characters, such as Xiao Ling'er, Shi Hao, and Ya Ya, have almost reached the limit of the Supreme Immortal King level, and are not far from becoming Immortal Emperors.

Even disciples of the next level, such as Wang Teng, have already risen to the ranks of supreme immortal kings.

Perhaps, it will be quite a long time before they reach the level of Immortal Emperor.

However, Xiao Ling'er and Shi Hao are only one step away from becoming Immortal Emperors.

He could attain enlightenment at any time!

Centuries of warfare have greatly enhanced their abilities.

In this state of conquest, the advantages of the protagonist template are truly demonstrated, and the speed of growth is like being cheated!

The great war ended, and they returned.

After meeting Lin Fan, none of them went out again, but instead chose to go into seclusion.

Centuries of warfare seems an exaggeration in their already extremely 'short' lives.

It is no exaggeration to say that they have spent the vast majority of their lives fighting!
After fighting for so long, we naturally need time to calm down, organize our gains, adjust our mindset, and prepare for the next breakthrough.

······
"For hundreds of years, it has been quiet and secluded."

Lin Fan sighed, "The changes are truly remarkable."

"They're all ripe."

It's worth mentioning...

Shi Hao eventually got together with Huo Ling'er.

She was even pregnant.

I wonder how many years she'll be pregnant, and what it will be like when the real little stone is born.
There's another thing worth noting.

That is...

Medusa is pregnant too!

Xiao Ling'er did it!
Of course, it wasn't that Xiao Ling'er underwent gender reassignment surgery, but rather that the Medusa clan possessed a secret method that allowed a mother to conceive offspring. However, the Medusa had a 'defect' and couldn't manage it on her own, nearly resulting in the death of both mother and child.

In the end, it was Xiao Ling'er who helped her solve the problem.

After swallowing a pill, they were saved, mother and daughter.

so···

Medusa's daughter's surname was Xiao!
Lin Fan was also shocked to learn this news.

All I can say is...

Often, fate is truly extraordinary.

It's like a joke.

Lin Fan had initially thought about this, since both were women, wouldn't Xiao Xiao be gone? But guess what? She's still alive!

······
Everyone is in seclusion!

The Lan Yue Sect should have been bustling with activity...
In reality, it was unusually deserted.

It was as if no one was there.

However, beneath this desolation and silence, the combat strength of the entire Lan Yue Sect was soaring at an unbelievable speed.

Lin Fan...
It's the best of them all!

Not only is he improving himself, but the overall combat power of the sect is also increasing, which in turn is causing his combat power to grow wildly!
It was originally thought that it would take nearly a thousand years to fully comprehend the three thousand Great Daos, but as the disciples grew, their 'computing power' and 'talent' also improved.

As a result, in just the fifth hundredth year, Lin Fan had already comprehended all three thousand Great Daos to the level of the Supreme Immortal King.

Now, he estimated that even without sharing his disciples' cultivation and skills, he could still fight against the top Immortal Emperor with his own strength alone!

"It's almost time."

"try···"

"Offering sacrifices to the Way!"

Logically speaking, Lin Fan should have attained the Dao of Immortal Emperor by now.

Moreover, with his current accumulation of experience, he can easily skip this step and become an Immortal Emperor.

Choose any of the three thousand avenues!
As long as no other Immortal Emperor within the Three Thousand Continents attains enlightenment through the same Great Dao, it is acceptable.

But that's too slow!

Even a Dao-proving Immortal Emperor could not grant Lin Fan the power of the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

Why not just go all in!
Always stay with me.

Merely at the level of an Immortal Emperor is not enough.

Lin Fan was certain that if he followed the conventional path to become an Immortal Emperor, he would definitely not be able to handle the great calamity that would follow.

Only by going all out and successfully performing the ritual can we have a chance of winning.

To put it another way...
He wants to skip a grade. And not just any ordinary grade skip.

With extraordinary talent, he forced himself to skip grades!

It's like a genius teenager who, with a perfect score, skips to a top-tier program at Tsinghua or Peking University from a local junior high school.

The actual difficulty is no less than this analogy.

If it were just Lin Fan alone, he wouldn't dare to do this even in his wildest dreams.

But he was never alone.

He has the entire sect as his backing.

He has the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, a ruthless man, the Flame Emperor, Qin Meng, and...
So many people have contributed to his success.

After sharing, in terms of talent and comprehension alone, he is undoubtedly the number one throughout history, and even in countless novels.

Since that's the case...
Why shouldn't we dare to act recklessly?!
This wave of attacks needs to be aggressive, and fiercely aggressive.

Not only must one forcefully perform a ritual, but one must also sacrifice one's own physical body in an attempt to use the Great Dao of Power to break through all laws with one force and become one of the most powerful beings in the ritual!

"···"

Lin Fan calmed down.

Begin preparing for your own ritual.

However, during his 'pre-station inspection,' he discovered something...
"what?"

"Immortal Emperor?"

He discovered that among the disciples he shared, there was an extra 'Celestial Emperor'.

"Chen Bei?"

"It seems that he has regained his memories and reclaimed his power."

"His 'script' is not simple either. In the end, I remember he was going to challenge the Heavenly Dao, right?"

"However, he knows what he's doing. Since he didn't call in reinforcements, it means he can handle it. So there's no need to overthink it. For him personally, this is a valuable experience."

"It is also his farewell to his 'past life'."

Lin Fan did not interfere too much.

Each protagonist template has its own destiny and its own path.

Sometimes it can be helpful.

Sometimes, people might not want your help.

It's best to let nature take its course.

"So."

"everything's ready."

"let's start!"

Lin Fan took a deep breath.

"only."

"Sacrifice the three thousand Great Daos that you possess, and also sacrifice your physical body..."

"What exactly should we do?"

this is a problem!
Offering sacrifices to the Way is not the same as cutting off the Way.

If it's about severing the Dao, then it's relatively clear.

Sever the Great Dao and then sacrifice it!

To put it bluntly, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art can do just that. It can even devour the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao. As long as you are strong enough, you can turn anything into your own.

But doing so is contingent on being able to withstand the backlash from Heaven, and secondly...
No matter how strong it is, it can't be much stronger than the Way of Heaven.

It really doesn't reach the level of a ritual sacrifice.

If a vast world has no living beings and no Immortal Emperor-level combat power, then a single Immortal Emperor from outside can completely destroy the world!
In other words, the world itself, including the Way of Heaven, is not actually that powerful as to defy the heavens.

Under normal circumstances, one cannot truly reach the level of performing sacrificial rites.

Even if one were to sacrifice an entire world, it would still be difficult to break through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

Even if they break through, they will still be relatively weak among those in the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

The sacrificial path that Lin Fan wants to play is the path of self-sacrifice.

Cut it into smaller pieces, crush it into smaller pieces...

To put it simply, it means to 'separate' all one's own understanding, but the separated principles are not to be discarded, but to be integrated into the physical body and the depths of the soul!
To unite it with its own spirit and body.

To make it a 'brick' for further progress.

Let all three thousand paths become bricks, contributing to our own growth!
But this is just the simplest way of putting it, and it's not even that accurate.

It would be extremely difficult to actually do it.

Even with Lin Fan's current level of comprehension, it took him several years to forcibly sort everything out and figure out what he should do next.

Where should we begin?

Where will this end?

"The first challenge..."

"It's about how to set the 'anchor point'."

"Offer sacrifices to the Way, offer sacrifices to the Way."

"A sacrifice must have an object."

"The 'objects' I am to sacrifice are my own body and soul, every cell, every atom, every wisp of my soul..."

"How can I place myself on the 'altar'?"

Lin Fan sat cross-legged in the deepest void dojo of the Lan Yue Sect, where time stood still and laws arose spontaneously, making it an excellent place for seclusion.

The surrounding immortal energy was so dense that it transformed into a liquid ocean, and the Daoist charm floated and sank in the void like tangible chains.

The massive amount of primal power he had previously devoured in the Demon Realm was released at this moment, filling every part of this void dojo for his use at any time.

"Anchor point..."

Lin Fan whispered to himself, this was the crucial first step in his breakthrough.

How can one offer one's own principles as a sacrifice to one's physical body and soul? This seemingly contradictory proposition requires a "coordinate system" that transcends common sense.

His mind raced, and combining his own characteristics, a bold idea gradually took shape.

"An incarnation of a celestial flower! My incarnation is also an extension of my Dao."

"They themselves can become the cornerstones for building the 'altar'!"

It's complicated.

actually···
It's also complicated.

However, to put it simply, it uses the incarnations of three thousand immortal flowers as a medium.

The three thousand celestial flower incarnations have all sealed themselves with the Nine Restrictions of Demon Sealing, and have only sealed one Great Dao, thus isolating themselves from other incarnations, and even from their original selves.

Thus, the three thousand celestial flowers incarnated are actually the three thousand Great Daos!

It's the perfect 'top-quality'!
With this in mind, Lin Fan no longer hesitated.

A command was issued from the depths of the soul, and the three thousand immortal flower avatars that were scattered in seclusion in the void simultaneously opened their eyes.

They did not move, yet each exuded the pure aura of the Great Dao.

This is a 'condensed projection' of Lin Fan's comprehension of the Three Thousand Great Daos up to the Supreme Immortal King realm.

The three thousand celestial flowers, in their incarnations, opened their eyes and simultaneously formed hand seals.

"Nine Forbidden Seals for Demons!"

"The Seventh Forbidden Prohibition: The Forbidden Prohibition of Cause and Effect!"

Buzz...

The infinite Tao manifests itself!

All three thousand incarnations unleashed the seventh restriction of demon sealing upon Lin Fan!
Even Lin Fan felt his scalp tingle from the three thousand causal restrictions; he was truly afraid that he would be sealed off!
However, he forced himself to calm down and completely let go of his defenses, allowing the seventh restriction of the three thousand immortal flower incarnations to act on him.

"what!"

He suddenly felt 'torn apart'.

A deafening tearing sound echoed from the depths of my soul.

The three thousand Dao principles that he had cultivated to the pinnacle, imprinted with his own karma, and which had become a part of him, began to be forcibly stripped away!

This is not simply about forgetting or giving up cultivation, but about tearing the "rules" that form the foundation of his power and enable him to understand the universe and all things in the universe out of his state of being integrated with himself!

pain!
An indescribable, excruciating pain! A tearing sensation originating from the deepest recesses of the soul and body, a billion times more terrifying than the shattering of the body or the annihilation of the soul!
Three thousand different colors and shapes of Dao principles burst forth from every pore on his body!

These fragments contained terrifying power; the moment they left the body, they attempted to reassemble into a complete chain of divine laws to impact the void. However, under the terrifying sealing power of the Causal Restriction, they were like turtles in a jar, unable to escape...
Lin Fan's body began to tremble violently, like porcelain riddled with cracks. Blood seeped from every pore, but this blood was not red; instead, it contained the chaotic color of fragments of shattered Dao principles.

The three thousand great principles he had comprehended were completely stripped away!
