The God of Heavens

Chapter 278 Conversion of the Clan Head, True Dragon's Tomb

In the medieval period, the Hundred Schools of Thought emerged. These philosophers united to strip the Holy Emperor of his title of "Nine-Nine Supreme Ruler" and instead established the title of "Nine-Five Supreme Ruler."

The sage families they left behind possessed profound heritage. These family heads had each undergone four or five tribulations, making them legends in the cultivation world, but they were by no means the strongest.

Within their families, there must be some old monsters who cultivate in seclusion, hiding in their family's small world, using secret methods to slow the passage of life, and usually not concerning themselves with worldly affairs.

But once the family's foundation is shaken, these old fogies will surely break free and unleash a bloody storm.

To offend the head of a saint's family is tantamount to provoking all saintly families, a fight to the death!

"To convert the head of the Fan family is an absolutely earth-shattering event!" Ao Luan's expression was solemn, his eyes filled with worry.

Her starry eyes flickered, and she said softly, "You need to think this through."

Lin Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering in the air without wind: "It's alright. The sage families are nothing special in my eyes. Unless their ancestors, the philosophers of the Middle Ages, jump out of their coffins, they can't do anything to me."

Moreover, he will eventually rule the Great Qian Dynasty, and sooner or later he will clash with these sage families. This is merely clearing away some obstacles in advance.

In the void, Lin Yu sat cross-legged, his body radiating boundless light. He chanted the "Scripture of Salvation," each syllable transforming into tangible ancient characters that flowed endlessly in the void.

"The path of immortality values ​​life and extends boundless salvation to all beings..."

The scriptures resounded throughout the heavens, auspicious clouds fell like jewels, and a thousand kinds of auspicious light poured down. Withered trees sprouted new buds, stubborn rocks nodded, sweet springs emerged from the void, and miracles manifested everywhere.

This Scripture of Salvation is the foremost of the three scriptures of Taoism. Now that Lin Yu is reciting it, it has the power to change the world.

The terrifying killing intent that had filled the Dragon Graveyard gradually dissipated, replaced by a peaceful atmosphere. The ferocious expressions on the faces of the four clan heads softened, and the resentment in their eyes slowly faded.

"The hoe is upright and the left side is suitable, the mud spirit is evil, and the sorrowful banner is evenly distributed..."

Lin Yu's voice grew increasingly solemn, and a scene of golden palaces and jade towers appeared around him, with flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses blooming from the ground.

Reciting the Scripture once brings clarity to the believer's heart; reciting it twice removes worries and sharpens the ears; reciting it three times makes everyone bow their heads; reciting it four times removes hidden illnesses; reciting it five times causes lost teeth to grow back.

The remaining thoughts of Fan Yuntao, the head of the Fan family, gradually coalesced and transformed back into human form. However, at this moment, his face was pale, and his eyes no longer held any arrogance, but were instead filled with piety.

“Master, I know I was wrong.” Fan Yuntao knelt respectfully. “You are the master of the Great Thousand Worlds, the supreme being of all gods. Our saintly family can only atone for my past sins by following you.”

This scene struck the other three family heads like a thunderbolt.

"what?!"

"He has truly been converted!"

"That's the head of the Fan family!"

The three men's minds were violently shaken, almost to the point of collapse. If they could still take human form, their faces would be utterly distorted at this moment.

"Blasphemy! This is blasphemy against the bloodline of saints!" the Wang family patriarch roared in anguish. "Ancestors, open your eyes and see!"

The head of the Sun family went completely mad: "Why? Why would anyone dare to do this! Even Meng Shenji wouldn't dare to lay a hand on us!"

The Wu family patriarch screamed hysterically, "He's gone mad! He's going to war with all the saintly families?!"

Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged, and the chanting from his lips grew even louder: "Boundless and unthinkable, the ocean of the Way gives rise to waves, the Dharma is like a trickle..."

As the last verse of scripture fell, auspicious omens completely enveloped the three family heads. Their roars gradually subsided, the madness in their eyes turned to clarity, and finally transformed into the same piety as Fan Yuntao.

"Meet the master."

The four of them knelt down, their expressions as submissive as the most devout believers.

Ao Luan and Xing Mou exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. This method of conversion was comparable to an ancient god establishing a religion, a single word that could command the respect of the entire world.

Lin Yu slowly rose, and the strange phenomena around him gradually subsided. He looked at the four family heads who had been converted, raised his hand, and a void portal opened. He said calmly, "Go back to my Primordial Heavenly Gate. You will be of use to me later."

"I will obey my master's decree."

The four bowed again, and then transformed into streams of light and entered the Heavenly Gate.

Starry eyes gazed in the direction they had left, and she murmured, "Now, the world is truly about to change."

Lin Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep: "This is just the beginning. Next, we should enter the Dragon Graveyard."

……

After the Yama Array dissipated, a hazy space was revealed amidst the chaotic void.

Through the distorted void barrier, a huge sphere, like a star, could be vaguely seen floating within it.

The sphere seemed so close, yet also as if separated by countless layers of space, giving it an ethereal and unpredictable feel.

The surface of the sphere is covered with undulating mountains and flowing rivers, with palaces and pavilions hidden among them. The ocean and land intertwine, creating a unique world.

This is the "Ancient Dragon's Tomb" that has been protected by the Yama Array for countless years.

"go!"

Without hesitation, Lin Yu unleashed a surge of light from the Panhuang Life Sword. He leaped into the air, the sword light like a rainbow, tearing a rift in the void and hurtling straight towards the star sphere.

The moment you pass through the spatial barrier, the scene before you suddenly changes.

The seemingly small stellar sphere rapidly expanded in the field of vision, transforming in the blink of an eye into a boundless continent.

Lin Yu felt his body falling continuously, as if he had traveled hundreds of thousands of feet, and finally landed steadily on a strange piece of land.

"Master, the Great Thousand World is a flat earth with a round sky, boundless and limitless. Thousands of lightning bolts fall from the sky, tearing through the void and nourishing countless Middle Thousand Worlds. Middle and Lesser Thousand Worlds are all perfectly round. The earth has gravity, attracting all things, so there is no need to worry about falling. This Ancient Dragon's Tomb is a Middle Thousand World."

The head of the Fan family, while prostrating himself in worship and looking out through the primordial energy gate, began to explain.
"Our ancestor, Fanzi, also left behind a middle-thousand world, but it wasn't this big. It was only a small piece, preserving some of the family's resources. Only direct descendants of the clan could live there; most of them still lived in the outside world."

"A middle-level world should have a lot of resources. Unfortunately, with my current strength, although I can be described as having great supernatural powers, I am still a little short of being able to capture stars and the moon."

Lin Yu looked at the planet below and said.

“Master, although my Wang family does not have a Middle Thousand World, we have an ancestor who has undergone six tribulations. However, if the ancestor dares to offend you, he will commit a capital offense. At that time, you must convert him and make him serve you to reduce his sins.”

Just then, the head of the Wang family listened to the words of the head of the Fan family and spoke respectfully.

The head of the Wu family then bowed deeply, his expression solemn, and said, "My Wu family is no exception. Master, you must be careful. Although there are disputes among the saintly families in ordinary times, they are very likely to join forces when faced with a great supernatural being like you."

Once a dozen or so experts undergoing the sixth tribulation of lightning set up a grand formation, even a powerhouse undergoing the seventh tribulation of lightning would have to temporarily retreat.

This conversation left Xingmou and Ao Luan speechless.

The head of a family of saints would respectfully address someone as "master" and instruct their master to be wary of their ancestors.

This is completely upside down!
"It's alright. When your ancestors arrive, I will be even stronger. At that time, I will subdue them one by one and let them keep you company!"

Lin Yu burst into laughter, his divine senses surging like a tide, and in a flash, he teleported to the far west.

The moment it landed, a biting chill hit it.

The biting wind and snow howled, the earth was covered in silver, the vast snowfield stretched as far as the eye could see, and there was only a desolate expanse between heaven and earth, as if one were in the coldest and most desolate place in the world.

"What a blizzard! The power of this blizzard far surpasses that of the Yunmeng Grassland!"

The Heavenly Serpent King said with starry eyes, "Every winter, a white blizzard blows across the Yunmeng Grassland, leaving no survivors, human or animal, in its wake."

"The life force of the stars is so thin, yet it can give rise to such a terrifying wind and snow? This chill is enough to scatter the souls of ghost immortals and freeze their primordial spirits. Even a master who has undergone a tribulation of lightning would have his thoughts frozen instantly!"

"This is the coldest current in the world—Yuanbing True Qi! It is said that the Great Thousand World also has a lifespan. After 129,600 years of reincarnation, at the end, it will be completely frozen by this True Qi, and all living beings will be unable to escape the calamity."

Ao Luan, the Heavenly Dragon Dao Master, couldn't help but shiver. Although she had experienced several tribulations, she was still startled by this chill.

"Yuanbing True Qi, a good thing."

The Primordial Dao Fruit suddenly began to operate, and with a powerful inhale, countless Dao Yuan Ice True Qi entered his body from the void, were all refined, and merged into it.

All the true meanings, gathered together, became his own foundation, and within the Dao Fruit, the character "ice" condensed and took shape.

Ice crystals, glaciers, ice souls, ice domains, frozen...

As soon as the character "ice" appeared, many mysterious runes were constructed on the nascent form of the Dao Fruit, and Lin Yu's innate true energy seemed to change once again.

At the same time, the characters for "ice" and "thunder" merged, giving rise to countless divine thunderbolts.

Ice Soul Divine Thunder!

A strange phenomenon unfolded in the void: the majestic sacred mountain, sealed by ice for a thousand years; the vast grassland, now transformed into a white snowfield; the surging sea, also frozen into a crystal-clear ice field.

Between heaven and earth, all life was extinguished, only a bone-chilling cold permeated the air, and deathly silence enveloped everything.

Ao Luan stared at Lin Yu's retreating figure, her eyes filled with shock: "To be able to break through at every moment, he is truly an unparalleled prodigy!"

Even her starry eyes couldn't help but sparkle with excitement.

The group continued on their journey and soon came upon a magnificent ice palace in the middle of the icy plains.

Its scale and grandeur surpass even the imperial palace of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Outside the palace, rows of icicles pierce the sky. Each one is as majestic as a mountain peak, crystal clear, showcasing the wonders of nature.

There were over a thousand icicles.

Within these massive, mountain-like ice pillars, ancient dragons are frozen solid!
"This is the true dragon!" Ao Luan's voice trembled.

She reached out and gently touched the icicle, feeling a chilling coldness at her fingertips, but she couldn't hide her excitement: "So vibrant, so majestic."

That's right, it's the Dragon Clan, who once roamed the ancient world and dominated among the many powerful beings in the ancient world.

In this vast world, everyone praises and sings of the dragon's majesty, but no one has ever seen the true face of a dragon.

Now, each dragon is frozen inside an ice pillar, each one lifelike and unique.

Although they are all frozen now, the posture of each dragon seems to interpret some kind of principle of heaven and earth.

Even though it has been frozen for eternity, its domineering dragon aura still emanates from it.

Lin Yu only stared at it for a moment, and he felt the dragon shape naturally appear in his soul, and his inner demons disappeared.

“These dragons themselves are the finest visualization diagrams,” Xingmou said softly, her eyes filled with undisguised awe. “They are a hundred times more exquisite than the visualization diagrams passed down by ordinary sects.”

At the very center of the Ice Palace, a nearly thousand-meter-long golden dragon stands out. Its entire body is as if cast in gold, and each scale is naturally engraved with mysterious runes, exuding an aura of majesty that surpasses all living beings.

“The Ancestral Dragon.” Ao Luan was shocked. The aura of this Ancestral Dragon was comparable to that of a Creator at the seventh level of the Thunder Tribulation!
Lin Yu scanned his surroundings intently: "Thousands of fresh dragon bodies, their value is immeasurable."

He reached out and tapped the ice pillar, producing a metallic clang. "The Primordial Water Essence Ice is a thousand times harder than diamond. Only this thing could have preserved so many true dragons intact."

Starry Eyes walked slowly around the ice pillar: "If these dragon bodies could be refined into magical artifacts, they could probably arm an army that could sweep across the world. Even if an ancient holy emperor were reborn, he wouldn't have such a grand ambition."
