Chapter 3067 Going into Seclusion Again
When Lin Xun released the third announcement, not only were the divine clans shocked, but the countless cultivators across the hundreds of epochal civilizations also went into an uproar.
It was: Every thousand years, Fortune Divine City would hold a Dao Contest, which would be divided into three categories respective to the Emperor path, the Immortal path, and the Eternal path.
In other words, cultivators at the Emperor Stage, the Immortal Stage, and the Eternal Stage could all participate in the contest for their categories.
The top ten rankers of each category would be rewarded generously, including a wide range of treasures, irresistible cultivation resources, and even appreciation and friendship from Lin Xun. Of course, worldwide fame and prestige were an expected bonus!
Just imagine, if one could place among the top ten in the Dao Contest, who in the epochal worlds under the sun wouldn't know about it? Not to mention it came with treasures, cultivation resources, and Lin Xun's recognition!
The last one was undoubtedly the most important. After all, Lin Xun was currently no different from the sole lord of the Fortune Dominion. A casual sentence from him might be able to change the fate of a divine clan!
“This matter is too important. It must be treated with utmost seriousness!”
“Once in a thousand years? But I already can’t wait...”
“From now on, this Dao Contest is destined to be the most popular event in the Fortune Dominion. Its influence will spread to every cultivation civilization!”
The dominion was abuzz with excitement. Furors were stirred up everywhere. The three announcements Lin Xun had made were simply too impactful for all the residents of the Fortune Dominion.
“This is the wisdom and vision of a true leader!” Mo Yang and the others couldn't stop lamenting.
Lin Xun himself didn’t pay much attention to the world's reaction. Everything he had done was merely for the sake of his friends and family. After these three announcements, no one would be able to shake the heritage he had built in the Fortune Dominion even if he was gone in the future.
After around three months, Lin Xun finally finished the reformation of Fortune Divine City.
At first glance, it still appeared to be just a city, but internally, there were passages leading to the Fangchun Secret Realm, the Origin World, the Spirit World, the Shaman World, the Zen World, etc.
Furthermore, there were now primitive divine mountains stretching across different areas like a spine that held up the entire city. Their layout vaguely formed an ingenious formation.
When necessary, these divine mountains, as numerous as the stars in the sky, would turn into a supreme array. It would communicate with the nine Divine Rank laws covering the city to unleash a power capable of exterminating Law Transcendence Eternals with ease!
“Jingxuan, I’m going to be in seclusion today.”
In the Fangchun Secret Realm, Lin Xun was having a party with Zhao Jingxuan, Xia Zhi, and Lin Fan.
“How long will it take?” Zhao Jingxuan asked as she gave Xia Zhi some snacks.
“I estimate about ten years,” replied Lin Xun. “After I come out, I will probably make a trip to the Kunlun Dominion.”
Zhao Jingxuan was stunned, indescribable emotions welling up in her heart. “Can you not make this trip?”
Her voice was permeated with intense reluctance.
Lin Fan couldn’t help but say, “Mother, my father must have a reason why he must go there. Besides, it's not like he isn't coming back, you're overworried.”
“Keep talking, won’t you?” Zhao Jingxuan glared at Lin Fan. The latter awkwardly shut his mouth at once.
Lin Xun burst out laughing and said, “Fan’er is right, I’m going to the Kunlun Dominion because...”
Zhao Jingxuan cut him off, “I know you have a good reason, you don’t have to explain it. Just...promise me you'll be careful. No matter what, you must come back safely.”
Lin Xun felt warm inside. “I will, don’t worry.”
Xia Zhi, who had been burying her head in the food, suddenly spoke up, “When the time comes, I’ll go with you so that Elder Sister Jingxuan won’t worry.”
Lin Xun was dumbfounded, but before he could respond, Zhao Jingxuan said with delight, “Then it can't be better. With you there, no women will dare to approach him. Even if there is, I'm sure Lil' Sis Xia Zhi can handle it.”
Her entire body relaxed like a weight had been taken off.
Lin Xun was speechless. So it turned out, Jingxuan was worried that he would fool around out there. But the point was, was he this kind of person?
Lin Xun felt wronged. He then noticed Lin Fan secretly snickering and snapped, “It’s fun to see your old man being the butt of a joke, isn’t it?”
Lin Fan immediately straightened his face. Trying to hold back laughter, he shook his head. “Father, I think Mother is right. There are temptations that a true man must resist!”
Zhao Jingxuan knocked Lin Fan’s forehead and said with a serious look, “Fan’er, you can’t think like this, and you can’t be like your father. You're our only child, so the hope is all on you to grow our lineage. The more daughters-in-law you can give me, the better. It's normal for us cultivators to have three wives and four concubines. Of course, if that's still not enough, you can marry some more. In short, the more the better...”
Lin Xun froze. Lin Fan also froze. The father and son went wide-eyed, question marks popping up in their minds. Is it even right to think this way?!
Right at this moment, Lin Wenjing and Luo Qingxun arrived. Lin Xun just invited his parents to take a seat when Luo Qingxun smiled sweetly and said, “Speaking of which, Xun’er is also our only child. I can’t wait for him to marry Xia Zhi and give me more grandchildren, so that the pressure on Fan’er won't be so heavy.”
Upon her remark, the atmosphere became odd. Zhao Jingxuan had just said the same about Lin Fan. The two mothers seemed to have a kind of tacit understanding when it came to treating their sons.
However, this tacit understanding caused the pressure on Zhao Jingxuan to skyrocket. She gave it some thought and smiled. “I certainly want to welcome Xia Zhi into our family as soon as possible, but I respect Lin Xun's decision. If he really wants to marry more women in the future, I...will also accept it.”
As she said this, she glanced at Lin Xun.
“Well, I’m glad that you agree, Jingxuan.” Luo Qingxun smiled with satisfaction and also looked at Lin Xun.
Something was very wrong with the atmosphere! Even Lin Fan sensed it, and he wisely kept his mouth zipped.
Lin Xun suddenly had a headache. Feeling as though he was sitting on pins and needles, he turned to Lin Wenjing. “Father, why aren't you saying anything?”
Lin Wenjing ate and drank to himself, acting like this topic had nothing to do with him. “Don’t you drag me into this. You can decide this kind of thing for yourself.”
Lin Xun directly got up from his seat. “I’ve eaten my fill, you guys continue. I'm getting back to work.”
Without waiting for the crowd to react, he hurried off.
“Hahaha, Father actually slipped away...” Lin Fan burst out laughing again. This is just so funny, too interesting.
However, he was unable to keep it up for another second as Luo Qingxun’s and Zhao Jingxuan’s loving gazes landed on him.
Luo Qingxun’s voice was gentle, “Fan’er, your mother is right. Our hope is all on you to continue our lineage.”
Zhao Jingxuan also smiled. “See, your grandmother agrees with me. Fan’er, you can’t let us down.”
It was Lin Fan’s turn to sit on pins and needles. He suddenly had the urge to follow his father’s example and slip away as well.
......
From this day, Lin Xun began his seclusion in the Fangchun Secret Realm.
The Creation Realm was the second realm of the Eternal path. After reaching this level, cultivation became exceptionally difficult, for the requirement to raise one’s cultivation base was to refine and absorb law power.
The most complete law power in existence was usually contained in a Divine Rank law, and Divine Rank laws had always been an extremely scarce cultivation resource. As a result, the path of a Creation Eternal was exceedingly difficult.
However, this was not a problem for Lin Xun. During these years, he had conquered all the Eternal Divine Clans in the Ninth Heaven Domain, destroyed the Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect, and even flattened the Divine Ji Clan in this Fortune Dominion.
Just these deeds alone allowed him to acquire a large amount of Divine Rank laws and various divine elixirs, and it was enough to fulfill the cultivation needs of the Creation Realm.
In addition to that, he had also imprisoned hundreds of Eternal figures. Refining all of them with the Five Principle Laws of the Return Dominion would yield an Eternal law that could compare to a Divine Rank law.
Under these circumstances, the cultivation of the Creation Realm was even easier than the Law Transcendence Realm for Lin Xun.
Year after year passed.
The brand new Fortune Divine City became lively and prosperous again. With the passage of time, cultivators from various civilizations converged here to cultivate, do businesses, or exchange knowledge.
Moreover, there was the array of Divine Rank laws under Wushuang’s control that helped maintain the peace. No matter their cultivation level, everybody behaved in accordance with the rules. Even Eternal experts did not dare to cause trouble in the city. Thus, every area showed nothing but order and prosperity.
The residents of the Origin World quickly integrated into Fortune Divine City. Seeing and interacting with cultivators from different epochal civilizations daily constantly brought them eye-opening and beneficial experiences.
Mo Yang's group watched this all unfold and couldn't help but envision—Perhaps one day, under Lin Xun’s influence, the various epochal civilizations could really become one great entity and write the golden age of cultivation!
The only thorn in everyone's back was the ever looming shadow of that mastermind. It was like an invisible cage surrounding this Fortune Dominion.
However, whether it was the threat of the epochal destruction, the Five Dao Decays targeting all beings, or the Great Silence Unlife Calamity targeting Eternal characters, none of it would transpire in Fortune Divine City.
As a matter of fact, cultivators of the various epochal civilizations in the Fortune Dominion had never had to worry about an epochal calamity and its impact.
Even the Great Silence Unlife Calamity was only a sword hanging over the heads of Eternal cultivators. As long as they took shelter in Fortune Divine City, they didn’t have to worry about dying to it.
In short, since Lin Xun had presided over Fortune Divine City, the Fortune Dominion had ushered in a period of unprecedented tranquility. All the beings in the dominion saw and felt this, and the more they did, the more they appreciated him.
