Tycoon War God

All Cultivators at the scene fell utterly silent!

The Sword Control Sect’s one hundred thousand Disciples made up more than half the crowd present; if Lin Wudi wished to kill, then…

Thinking of that terrifying scene of a single sword slaughtering a hundred thousand, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

At this moment in the Ancient Land, nearly all Golden Core Great Ancestors had already been slain by Lin Wudi; there was no one left who could stand against him!

Now, if Lin Wudi wished to kill, no one could stop him!

This was the fate of the Ancient Land Sects as they now stood!

Just as everyone’s bodies were trembling, a voice rang out from within the great hall.

”Allowed.”

Just a single word, yet it caused nearly all one hundred thousand Disciples of the Sword Control Sect to collapse limply to the ground.

They could live!

Many Disciples whose wills were not firm had tears streaming down their faces.

It was not only for their own lives and deaths, but also for the continuation of their Sect.

If it were only a matter of personal life and death, among the Sword Control Sect’s one hundred thousand Disciples, at least fifty or sixty thousand would probably have charged at Lin Wudi in a fearless, death-defying assault!

The Ancient Land Sects, too, possessed blood and backbone!

Yet the continuation of the Sect outweighed the heavens!

For the sake of the three words ”Sword Control Sect” to remain, they could only kneel and bow at Lin Wudi’s feet!

”Many thanks to The Venerable for fulfilling this!”

Li Duanjian was crying so hard he could hardly speak; at last, he had not betrayed the dying wish Jade Sword Elder left him before his death.

”Many thanks to The Venerable for fulfilling this!”

All Disciples of the Sword Control Sect knelt and kowtowed.

On this day.

The former Ten Great Sects of the Ancient Land, leaving aside the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion which had already been annihilated, all submitted at the feet of Lin Wudi.

They became subordinates under the Dragon Protection Hall!

This ”Sect,” appearing for the very first time in the Ancient Land, had already become an unprecedented, peerless First Sect!

Seven or eight out of ten Ancient Land cultivators now belonged to the Dragon Protection Hall!

...

Noon!

In front of the Invincible Palace, several hundred thousand Cultivators gathered together, a boundless sea of humanity.

The Invincible Venerable’s sermon became a grand event never before seen in the Ancient Land through all ages.

Especially after witnessing how Lin Wudi had dealt with the Nine Great Sects that offended him, now everyone revered the Invincible Venerable ten thousandfold.

Today, even if the Invincible Venerable were only to come out and chat idly with everyone, it would be enough to satisfy them!

This sermon, named a ”Transmission of the Dao,” was in truth, in the eyes of the crowd, the grand assembly of Cultivators of the Ancient Land Sects paying respects to the new Venerable of the Ancient Land!

When the stone needle of the solar gnomon pointed exactly to Noon, a vast voice resounded from within the Invincible Palace to fill the entire sky.

”What is the Dao?”

”The Dao is that which is nameless yet named, that which is not Dao yet is Dao!”

”What is Cultivation… it is to go against the heavens and ascend, to seize from heaven and earth…”

Each line of true words seemed as though it could shake the very soul.

Merely three or four characters were enough to plunge all who heard them at the scene into a state of enlightenment!

If there were anyone still able to remain clear-headed at this moment, they would be so shocked that their color would drain!

With a single utterance, all five hundred thousand Cultivators entered enlightenment!

What a shocking ability this was!

A transmission of the Dao!

On this day, the five hundred thousand Cultivators of the Ancient Land Sects came into contact, for the first time, with what true transmission of the Dao was!

As Spiritual Energy was nurtured, Purple Qi Coming from the East.

Countless bizarre visions appeared above the Invincible Palace.

There were Immortals who Embrace the Moon, and divine beings moving mountains.

There were elders swallowing clouds and exhaling mist, and a Divine Dragon riding the clouds and summoning the rain!

There were giants racing after the sun, and Jingwei carrying stones to fill the sea!

Scene after scene of myth played out beside everyone.

The sound resounded across tens of millions of li.

The Ten Main Cities of the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion, the ten million li of the Western Region, the eight directions of the Ancient Land world!

All living beings, without exception, heard a voice resounding.

Even ordinary members of the human race, upon hearing the voice that transmitted the Dao, felt comprehension arise in their hearts, sat cross-legged, and began to practice Qi Cultivation on their own.

In the Ancient Land Minor World, wind and clouds roiled as Spiritual Energy surged in waves!

Upon an island in the East Sea of the Ancient Land.

An old man was leisurely fishing with a rod, thoroughly at ease.

Suddenly, the sound of the Great Dao rang in his ears.

The old man’s tears instantly flowed down his face.

”The mandate of heaven has misled me! That I did not go to the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion today to hear the Dao— I, Qian Xuanzi, have lost the chance to ascend to Immortality in a single step!”

Countless recluses hidden deep in the mountains, or those who bore knots in their hearts toward Lin Wudi and thus did not go to the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion to hear the Dao—upon hearing the voice of the Great Dao, all beat their chests and stamped their feet, torn with regret!

...

Above the ruins of the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion, in the skies over the Invincible Palace, Purple Qi Coming from the East filled the heavens, enveloping all Cultivators before the Invincible Palace.

Golden lotus after golden lotus bloomed beneath everyone’s seats.

Boom!

Huang Ming’er’s body trembled, and her realm broke through, unobstructed, into the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Level, the realm of the exiled immortal of the extreme realm!

Her petite figure swayed with grace amidst the Purple Qi and golden lotuses, indescribably beautiful.

In this very moment, Huang Ming’er’s heart was crystalline and pure, devoid of even the slightest trace of resentment.

She finally understood the words Jade Sword Elder left her in the Sound Transmission Talisman before departing this world.

”Strife over profit has nothing to do with private hatred. As Cultivators of the Ancient Land, we need not harbor resentment toward Lin Wudi. A powerhouse such as this—reverence is enough.”

This was the final testament left behind by Jade Sword Elder, the Sect Master of the Sword Control Sect.

At that time, Huang Ming’er did not understand.

Now, under enlightenment, she comprehended completely.

It seemed that when Jade Sword Elder fell in battle, he too must have been calm and unperturbed!

Rumble!

The second to break through was actually Shangguan Shiming.

Borrowing Lin Wudi’s transmission of the Dao, she attained completion in Foundation Establishment in a single stroke!

After Shangguan Shiming, among the five hundred thousand Cultivators present, people broke through one after another!

With just a few words, Lin Mu could bring people to great realization, to grasp the realm of Cultivation!

On the first day of Lin Wudi’s transmission of the Dao.

One hundred and eight thousand people succeeded in breaking through!

On the second day of the transmission!

Two hundred and fifteen thousand people broke through!

On the third day of the transmission!

Among the five hundred thousand Cultivators, no matter how poor their aptitude, each broke through a single realm!

On the fourth day of the transmission!

Those with outstanding talent broke through once more!

On the fifth day of the transmission!

The genius Disciples broke through two realms in succession, using the realm of a Proud Son of Heaven to complete Foundation Establishment!

On the sixth day of the transmission!

The Proud Son of Heaven Disciples broke through two realms in succession! And a further eighteen Proud Sons of Heaven attained the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Level in a single stroke, achieving the state of the exiled immortal, completing perfect Foundation Establishment!

On the seventh day of the transmission!

Seven exiled immortals completed perfect Foundation Establishment!

Langya broke three realms in seven days, achieving the realm of Golden Core Great Ancestor! He became, among the Ancient Land Sects, the second fastest in history to break from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment and from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation!

On the seventh day, before the transmission of the Dao concluded, Carefree Pavilion’s Plum Blossom Elder, Zhe Mei, achieved Core Formation, ascending to the realm of Supreme Venerable!

He became the first newly born Middle Stage of Core Formation Venerable in the Ancient Land Sects after their two Venerables had fallen!

With seven days of transmitting the Dao, Lin Wudi raised the strength of the Ancient Land Sects by an entire tier after the great catastrophe!

Over seven days of transmission,

He accomplished: one person at the Mid-stage Supreme Venerable of Core Formation!

He accomplished: eight Golden Core Great Ancestors!

Furthermore, there was the Immortal of Langya, who, with extreme Core Formation, became the first in the history of the Ancient Land Sects to attain Core Formation in the Banished Immortal Realm!

He accomplished: one thousand Foundation Building Immortals!

Within the Ancient Land Minor World, among the common populace, those who sensed Qi Perception and set foot upon the path of Cultivation were beyond counting, numbering in the tens of millions!

After the great catastrophe, the Ancient Land Sects once more ushered in a grand flourishing age!

Of course, nothing came without a price.

For this transmission of the Dao, Lin Mu used a supreme Great Array to Gather the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth throughout the Ancient Land, condensing Qi into rain.

In the Ancient Land Minor World, one-tenth of all Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth was gone!

Without a hundred years, the Spiritual Energy of the Ancient Land Minor World could not recover to its former state!

This was the price of a single sermon by Lin Mu.

And this was only because he was currently at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

If he were at Core Formation when he gave a sermon, he might well drain all the Spiritual Energy of the Ancient Land Minor World within a single day!

These seven days came to be known among the people of the Ancient Land as the time when Dao Ancestor Lin Mu transmitted the Dao.

For the next three thousand years, the people of the Ancient Land would take this day as their New Year, to commemorate the grace of Dao Ancestor Lin Mu in transmitting the Dao to all under heaven!

From these seven days onward, the methods of Cultivation were no longer exclusive to the Sects.

So long as one possessed talent, anyone could pursue Cultivation!

Immortals would no longer be lofty and out of reach!

Through Lin Mu’s transmission of the Dao, in the Ancient Land Minor World, every person was as a dragon; all could become Immortals!
