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

"The speed at which their strength is improving is very fast."

"We have inexhaustible resources, and our disciples are exceptionally talented. As long as we have more time, what is there to worry about in achieving great things?"

During his seclusion, Lin Fan sighed.

"Unfortunately, time waits for no one."

"Judging by the time, the great calamity of a thousand years is not far away."

"At most, there are less than ten years left."

"In less than ten years, I..."

How much more can it be improved?

"···"

······
Nine years later.

Lin Fan is currently in seclusion.

However, he sensed Shi Hao's violent aura.

he···

He's injured!
Moreover, their emotions are very unstable.

Lin Fan frowned, and in a flash appeared beside Shi Hao, helping him heal his injuries while asking what had happened.

"Shi Hao."

Why are you so badly injured?

Shi Hao's eyes were bloodshot. He did not answer Lin Fan's question, but instead said, "Master."

"Something's happened to Liu Shen!"

Lin Fan's heart tightened.

Shi Hao continued, "Previously, I wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Willow Goddess, but I called out to her many times without receiving a response."

"I thought the Willow Goddess was in danger, so I wanted to go and help her. After searching in many directions, and relying on the faint senses generated by the willow branch that the Willow Goddess left me, I finally found the Willow Goddess's whereabouts."

"I have been inside the Gate of Primal Chaos."

"I have also visited many ancient secret realms."

"But in the end, a series of 'footprints' were found in the Boundary Sea."

“Those footprints were not left by the Willow Goddess, but I am certain that she followed those footprints, so I went after her.”

"final···"

"final···"

Shi Hao lowered his head, his expression dejected: "I discovered the remains of the Willow God."

"Only a withered, black tree stump remains, almost obliterating even the cause and effect."

"I wanted to bring back the remains of the Willow Goddess, but as soon as I got close, a strange phenomenon occurred."

"A Celestial Emperor has appeared and is fighting me."

"That was a corpse."

"It fought me for hundreds of rounds in the body of a Corpse Immortal Emperor, and just when I was about to defeat it, it even had helpers."

"A woman, dressed in blood."

"A fat man, holding a butcher's knife, looked like a butcher."

"There's another one, but it only has half a head, which is very strange."

"Besieged by four people, I could only proceed slowly. Finally, I was about to succeed, but just as I was about to touch the remains of the Willow God, three Immortal Emperors suddenly jumped out from nearby."

"According to what they said, the three people were named Cang, Yu, and Hong."

"I had only recently attained enlightenment, and I was not afraid of being the fourth-ranked one. I could fight seven people at once, and two of them were what they called the 'end of the road' level, which is what we call the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor level... In the end, I was no match for them and was surrounded and severely injured. I had no choice but to use the 'Travel' secret technique to retreat."

"Before leaving, I seemed to see the owner of those footprints."

"He was an immortal emperor of unparalleled talent and elegance, but he never managed to pass through that area. He was intercepted and killed by many immortal emperors, leaving behind only an inextinguishable Dao flame and dim footprints to warn those who came after him."

"It's like a warning to those who come after: be careful, you need to go to the other side of the border sea to quell the unrest!"

"···"

After Shi Hao finished speaking, he took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Master."

"After I recover, I will definitely go again."

"There must be..."

"Bring back the remains of the Willow Goddess."

Lin Fan was silent.

He could actually guess what this path would be.

Moreover, it was pretty much what he expected.

Logically speaking, the dam should only contain Cang Hongyu and the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

But now, the number has almost doubled, and it may not even be all the Immortal Emperors guarding there; there may not even be any who have shown up yet.

Shi Hao went alone, so naturally he was no match for them.

It's a miracle they weren't killed!

However, the order seems a bit messed up.

Has Liu Shen died in battle?

Logically, Shi Hao should have been the first to suffer a severe injury, and Liu Shen should have risked her life to carry him back, coughing up blood with every step...
But that doesn't matter.

It's just a change in order; the impact is minimal.

The problem lies in this millennium-long calamity...

it has started!

This is clearly a signal that it's starting!

"You should heal your wounds first."

Lin Fan stood up and said softly, "Liu Shen has done a great favor for my Lan Yue Sect, and she is also my fellow Daoist. For both reason and duty, we must bring her back."

"Later, I will summon all the Immortal Emperors within the sect."

"We'll go together once you've recovered."

"It's about time..."

"The mystery of the other side of the border sea has been unveiled."

"Master."

Shi Hao was somewhat resistant: "It would be...very dangerous."

"I can sense that those people are not all of them."

"In fact, they are most likely just an outpost, responsible only for surveillance and troubleshooting minor issues."

"If I go alone, perhaps they won't care too much."

"If we go together, I'm afraid..."

"No need to care."

Lin Fan stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance: "Some things always have to be done by someone."

"Some things are destined to happen."

"The harvest is almost here."

"Instead of passively enduring, it's better to take the initiative. At least you can keep the opportunity in your own hands."

Shi Hao's expression changed: "What does Master know?"

"I have some guesses, but I can't be sure."

In short...

"We will go together."

Having said that, Shi Hao could only nod.

······
Upon returning to Lanyue Palace, Shi Hao immediately began to call for reinforcements.

Xiao Ling'er, Fan Jianqiang, Ya Ya, Wang Teng, Qin Yu, San Ye, Lin Dong, He Qiang, Chen Bei, Mu Chen, Luo Feng...

In addition, there's Shi Hao.

These ten people are all the current Immortal Emperors of the Lan Yue Sect.

Although most of them had only recently broken through to the next level, their combat strength was by no means weak.

Lin Fan believed that this 'outpost' should be enough.

After all, I'm here to oversee things!
but···
It should also be informed of the Supreme Ruler and Wutian.

In a flash, he appeared in the celestial palace.

The Supreme Ruler was lying on Qi Mengyoulan's lap, comfortably eating the grapes she fed him.

Sensing Lin Fan's arrival, she immediately rolled her eyes: "Couldn't you at least knock first?"

"This time I was eating grapes, but what if next time I'm practicing dual cultivation?"

Lin Fan chuckled: "...In broad daylight, is it really necessary?"

"That's hard to say."

The Supreme Ruler stood up and stretched: "Ready?" "I came to ask you." Lin Fan said noncommittally: "My disciple should have already identified an 'outpost,' and I will soon lead my men to eliminate it."

"Are you and Wutian ready?"

hum.

No Heaven manifests.

"You're calling me by my given name again!"

Wu Tian frowned, somewhat displeased.

The Supreme Ruler was even more displeased: "You all..."

"Don't they know how to knock?"

"This is my palace!"

"The imperial bedchamber!"

"If Lin Fan can call me by my name, why can't I?" Wu Tian chuckled. "Could it be that you're showing it to him, but not to me?"

The Supreme Ruler was exasperated: "What utter nonsense is this?!"

"Let's get down to business!"

"The matter I mentioned before concerns the life and death of our Three Thousand Continents, and even the entire Boundary Sea."

"Based on my further investigation over the years, I have discovered an even more astonishing truth."

He took a deep breath, his expression extremely serious: "That harvest is far more serious and troublesome than I had imagined!"

"Ok?"

Wu Tian frowned: "Explain in detail."

Supreme Ruler: "You should all know about the ancient ancestral spirit, Willow God."

Wu Tian sneered: "Back then, he was just a Celestial King. How could he be worthy of being called an Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit? It can only be said that the Immortal Path back then was truly pitiful and desolate."

"Is it possible that, instead of feeling pitiful and lonely, it's that... they've been exploited?"

Wu Tian's expression gradually changed: "?!"

"What do you want to say?"

"The harvest happens once every countless years, but it involves harvesting and sacrificing all life above the level of an Immortal King! Even... the methods of cultivation, all kinds of 'paths,' will be harvested!"

"That's why the Immortal Path of the Three Thousand Continents fell into such a state of decline, and for a long time, there was only one Immortal King, Willow Goddess..."

“I used to think that Liu Shen was the only one who was exploited in that era, but I was wrong.”

"In fact, at the beginning, Liu Shen was not even among those being harvested. It was only after the Three Thousand Continents were harvested that Liu Shen stepped forward."

"She attained the Dao of Immortal King, she became an ancient ancestral spirit, she taught humanity cultivation, she created various techniques..."

Finally, she sought the truth of what happened back then, but was surrounded and killed by the 'alien race'.

Many years later, under the nourishment of the 'legacy' left by the Willow God, Sanqianzhou regained its vitality and gradually achieved its current glory.

"The achievements of Liu Shen cannot be ignored."

"And the reaping sickle was far more terrifying than we had imagined."

"Therefore, there is no Heaven."

"Whether for yourself or for those we care about."

"In this battle, we must fight with all our might, and we absolutely cannot back down!"

Wu Tian narrowed his eyes slightly: "When have I ever retreated?"

"Harvest this being?"

"I've taken his scythe; it's more like I'll harvest him!"

Lin Fan felt a chill run down his spine as he listened.

He originally thought he would only harvest the sacrificial Dao, or at worst, harvest the Immortal Emperor as well.

Upon hearing this...

Good guy!
Damn it, they even harvested Immortal Kings, and even tried to destroy cultivation methods?
Forehead···

But it doesn't seem to be any different.

I just think they went even further.

As for fighting, it's going to happen anyway.

"That's good." The Supreme Ruler withdrew his gaze from Wutian: "Lin Fan has discovered an outpost and will set off soon to eliminate it."

"The great battle is about to begin."

"We need to be prepared at all times."

Wu Tian grinned: "I have been prepared for a long time, no, I am always prepared."

"Kid, go ahead and make your move."

"I am your strongest support!"

"···"

Lin Fan didn't reply, but simply said, "I have a formation called 'All Rivers Flow into the Sea'."

“In recent years, it has been further improved. I will leave you a copy later so that you and your people can learn it.”

"In this way, we can enhance our combat strength."

"At that time, we can all spend more time together."

"It can bring together combat power!"

Neither of them refused.

They then discussed the matter for a few more moments.

Then Lin Fan left.

Half a month later, Shi Hao had fully recovered. In fact, because of this serious injury, he had taken a step forward and become even more powerful.

Lin Fan mustered his men.

Under their gaze, he nodded slightly: "Go."

"Yes, Master!"

boom!
Ten Celestial Emperors set off!

"Shi Hao..."

"In this life, there is me, and there is us."

"You don't have to suffer like that anymore."

Watching their departing figures, Lin Fan murmured to himself.

Shi Hao in the original novel really suffered!
Back then, the Desolate Emperor's single sword strike, which shattered countless ages, left behind a perfect world on the Boundary Sea side and bought time for the rear to grow and develop.

But he himself was fighting a lonely battle.

Until Huang's relatives and friends finally followed in Huang's footsteps and entered the heavens.

Among them, Liu Shen has made great strides in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, the Burial Master Butcher has broken through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, and the others have also entered the Immortal King realm.

These heroes fought a great battle against the supernatural beings, tying down their main force. The supernatural beings could only send their generals at the Immortal King level to harass the myriad realms.

However, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, potential talents emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. There were more than thirty people who could be called emperors in the human realm. Among these thirty people, three geniuses stood out and were known as the "Three Heavenly Pride Group": Ye Fan, Ruthless Great Emperor (Empress), and Wushi Great Emperor.

Ye Fan rose to prominence and led his friends and family into the Immortal Realm.

The trio repaired the Immortal Realm with the Three-Life Coffin, ending the Age of Dharma Decline. During this time, they met Gu Tuo and Gu Qing, powerful beings from other fragments of the Immortal Realm.

Meanwhile, the situation in the heavens was not optimistic. Following the Pollen Emperor, the Desolate Heaven Emperor surpassed the Immortal Emperor realm, becoming the second powerful being in the world to reach the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

As the new backbone of the heavens, he took on the heavy responsibility of the Pollen Emperor, facing three bizarre progenitors alone.

However, the three eerie progenitors, blessed by the eerie plateau, could continuously resurrect, leaving Huang unable to escape and only able to watch helplessly as his friends and family perished one by one.

The Celestial Emperors of Heaven also perished in battle, leaving only Luo and Menghai.

In the end, Huang Zhan was so badly wounded that he was on the verge of death, and Liu Shen also perished while trying to save him.

This was the first time Huang Lujin had shed tears since ascending to the level of a powerful sacrificial being; everyone around him was dead. All worlds had turned to ruins, leaving Huang alone in the world, suffering more than anyone else.

His homeland, which had been isolated for eternity, was attacked again by the strange race. The Ancient Temple of Guidance reappeared, and An Lan, whom he had cast into a statue years ago, was restored by the strange Immortal Emperor.

A group of strange immortal kings attacked the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Ye Fan, along with one of the strange immortal kings, traveled back to the Tianyuan of the Chaotic Ancient Era and forcefully suppressed and killed him.

The Wushi Bell and Cauldron stabilized the universe and connected to the Kunpeng Nest. The Empress appeared to rescue Shi Hao when the Crimson King tried to kill the young Shi Hao.

Cao Yusheng, along with Duan De and Hua Hua, was on the run while searching for the Three Lives Medicine. They saw the young Shi Hao and warned him to be careful when receiving the Ancient Palace.

The Desolate Emperor saw the brilliance of those who came after him and was finally able to lay down his burdens and place his hopes on them.

He then launched a massive projection, reviving all the heavens and myriad worlds and saving one era after another. As a result, Huang entered his weakest period and was no longer able to take care of him.

While in slumber, Huang created a bizarre world that the Primordial Ancestor could not have foreseen, leading his newly resurrected and still unstable friends and family into it to recover and cultivate together...
He waited until a newcomer could stand beside him and fight alongside him before they joined forces to destroy the eerie plateau.

He...it's really too hard for him.

But things are different now!
Everything is different.

Ye Fan was born even earlier than the Wilderness... and with the help of others, Shi Hao could completely...
Ok? !

wrong!

Lin Fan's expression suddenly changed: "Something's not right!" (End of Chapter)
