The Heavenly Dao's Will

Lin Fan watched the two sulking bears and turned to speak gently to Ao Yue.

"Little girl pouted, "I've been cultivating all day and want to spend time with my brother. Those two are just stuffing their faces all day and not cultivating."

Two glares immediately shot over.

Lin Fan suppressed a smile and explained, "They possess innate spiritual powers. Eating allows them to increase their cultivation."

Ao Yue's eyes widened.

"Are there really such good things in the world?"

"Teach me!" she said, tugging at Lin Fan's sleeve coquettishly.

As his fingertip lightly touched her brow, the profound mysteries of the Yin Yang Heaven Swallowing Profound Technique and the Heaven Swallowing Art flowed into her sea of consciousness like a clear spring.

After shedding the shackles of karma, comprehension ** became a natural progression.

In an instant, Yin and Yang energies and the essence of devouring Dao Charm circulated around her body ceaselessly.

Xiong Batian and Xiong Aotian, who were gnawing on bamboo shoots, suddenly widened their eyes, completely oblivious to the fallen shoots.

This was simply unbelievable!

The two brothers stared intently at Ao Yue, who was in meditation.

They had witnessed the little dragon girl cultivating here these past few days.

Her talent was clearly far inferior to theirs, so how could she suddenly achieve enlightenment?

Lin Fan created a cultivation ground for Ao Yue within the Primordial Pearl and set up an Innate Grand Formation to aid her practice.

After settling her in, he left the Primordial Pearl's space.

At this moment, spiritual energy surged on Shouyang Mountain.

Auspicious energy in a thousand streams, colorful clouds filling the sky.

Spiritual energy converged like a waterfall, creating an astonishing spectacle.

Strange phenomena appeared all over the sky.

Were the Three Ancestors of the Human Race about to break through to Grand Unity?

Lin Fan's face lit up with joy.

He flashed and arrived at the ancestral land of Shouyang Mountain.

He saw Hongyun already here **.

Seeing Lin Fan arrive, Hongyun smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you're back?"

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, "Thanks to Fellow Daoist's efforts in preaching, the Three Ancestors were able to achieve Grand Unity."

Hongyun waved his hand humbly, "I merely offered a little guidance; it's all thanks to your Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, Fellow Daoist."

"This Golden Elixir is indeed extraordinary."

"If one can comprehend the Dao Charm within, achieving Grand Unity is only a matter of time."

The Three Ancestors, created by Nuwa herself, were naturally the elites of the Human Race.

Coupled with Lin Fan's modifications to Shouyang Mountain, it now possessed nine spiritual meridians.

Innate Spiritual Roots were everywhere, and Acquired Spiritual Roots numbered in the tens of thousands.

Such a blessed land naturally allowed for rapid cultivation.

Now, not only were the Three Ancestors' realms advancing by leaps and bounds, but the cultivation speed of the entire Human Race had also greatly increased. On the peak of Shouyang Mountain, dozens of Innate Humans had already broken through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Just as the Three Ancestors were achieving Grand Unity, Nuwa, who was in seclusion within the Holy Emperor Palace, suddenly sensed something and opened her eyes. A look of shock flashed in her eyes--she perceived a familiar power fluctuation. That was clearly the... Human Way power she had glimpsed when establishing the Human Religion back then!

The Human Way had begun to sprout! Although still weak, it contained boundless potential comparable to the Heavenly Dao. This great power shook Nuwa's heart. As the master of the Human Way, she would undoubtedly benefit immensely. Could this be the deeper meaning behind my brother's suggestion for me to establish the Human Religion? Thinking of this, Nuwa's eyes flowed, and a look of joy appeared.

At this moment, two peerless figures appeared outside Shouyang Mountain, their clear immortal music echoing through the heavens: "Chang Xi and Xi He of the Lunar Star, come to pay respects to Fellow Daoist Lin Fan."

Looking at the divine maidens hovering in the air, the Human Race members gazed up in admiration: "Such unparalleled beauty... Is Holy Venerable acquainted with such individuals?" Chang Xi and Xi He, in both appearance and demeanor, were among the best in the Great Desolation. Their appearance naturally drew everyone's attention.

Hongyun stroked his beard and smiled upon seeing this, "I didn't expect you to be acquainted with the Twin Lunar Beauties, little friend. Your fortune is truly deep." Lin Fan, however, frowned slightly--why did this kind old man's smile seem a little mischievous?

"Please enter the hall for a detailed discussion, honored fairies." As Lin Fan's words fell, the Innate Five Elements Grand Formation opened a passage. Chang Xi and Xi He, stepping into Shouyang Mountain, showed surprise. They saw the mountain's magnificent aura and the rainbow-like destiny above. What surprised them even more was what they saw along the way: hundreds of Innate Spiritual Roots were lush and green, and the Acquired Spiritual Roots numbered in the tens of thousands.

A sigh echoed from within the mountain.

"The changes in the Human Race are truly unexpected,"

Chang Xi said softly.

Xi He looked around, a look of confusion on her face:

"The spiritual roots on this mountain seem even more abundant than those on our Lunar Star?"

What shocked her even more was that

"The Human Race actually has a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"After all, this race has always been weak,"

"and should not have the aptitude for cultivation."

Now, not only have Grand Unity experts emerged, but many mortals have also embarked on the Immortal Path.

This transformation is truly astonishing.

It must all be his doing.

Chang Xi's words carried a hint of deeper meaning.

She had also heard about that ** in the Heavenly Court back then.

Xi He suddenly understood.

Beneath that seemingly gentle exterior, what fierce strength lay hidden.

These Spiritual Roots, quite a few must have come from there, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but show a subtle expression.

The dignified Emperor of the Demon Race, a honored guest of Zixiao Palace, had his entire fortune emptied by someone.

It was truly a laughable situation.

Words echoed through the void, Nuwa's brow twitched slightly.

Why would they come?

As a Hunyuan Sage, she could know all things with a single thought.

She had long known about the past discussions between Lin Fan and the two women.

But she hadn't expected

that these two sisters, who lived in seclusion, would personally visit Shouyang Mountain.

Good job, Lin Fan, you've truly gotten involved with them.

Her tone held an indescribable flavor.

One must know that these two from the Lunar Star

were famously reclusive.

Their personal visit now

made their intentions clear without a word.

Inside the Holy Emperor Palace, Lin Fan offered various precious fruits as hospitality.

It seems both sisters' cultivation has advanced significantly.

He keenly sensed the change, quite delighted.

As expected, nothing gets past you.

Xi He smiled faintly, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Lin Fan's presence clearly lifted her mood.

Thanks to your help, we were able to break through our realms so quickly.

Chang Xi thanked Lin Fan, her tone sincere.

There's no need for politeness, sisters.

Lin Fan smiled gently.

The spiritual medicines on Shouyang Mountain have all matured, would you like to go take a look together?

Not yet.

Chang Xi stated their purpose:

Lin Fan, when we were in seclusion, we felt we hit a bottleneck.

This visit is to seek your guidance.

Lin Fan understood.

In fact, when the two arrived, he had already noticed that their comprehension of the Lunar Law was just a step away from completion.

So, he began to impart his insights.

Dao Charm immediately flowed within the dojo, and auspicious phenomena appeared one after another.

Amidst the ethereal music, Xi He and Chang Xi gradually became engrossed.

Although Lin Fan's cultivation was that of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, his comprehension was extraordinary.

Coupled with his study of the Primordial Great Dao True Explanation.

Even Hongjun, who possessed the Jade Disk of Fortune, did not understand the Dao as well as he did.

At this moment, he was explaining the path to becoming a Hunyuan Sage by proving the Dao through Law.

Under the illumination of immortal light, the dojo was filled with wondrous rhymes.

With Lin Fan's easy-to-understand explanations, the two women's minds became clear.

The confusion on their cultivation path was finally cleared.

It was as if a bright lamp was guiding them, and their cultivation path suddenly opened up.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Fan finished his sermon.

Xi He and Chang Xi were still in deep contemplation.

Their auras became increasingly profound.

Divine radiance flowed across their fair skin.

Making them appear even more transcendent.

Exquisite and peerless, capable of toppling nations.

After an unknown amount of time, Chang Xi finally slowly opened her eyes.

"Little brother Lin Fan, thank you."

Her eyes flowed with gentle smiles, and her voice was soft.

Although her realm had not yet broken through, the Great Dao that Lin Fan had expounded had already pointed her in the direction of her future path. Upon returning to the Lunar Star, she would surely be able to take that crucial step soon.

At this moment, Xi He also awoke, her eyes and brows filled with joy.

"Little brother Lin Fan is truly remarkable."

As she spoke, she picked up Lin Fan and gave him a heavy kiss on the cheek.

"Let go of me!"

Lin Fan was helpless.

He had been taken advantage of for no reason. But... why not a little harder?

Seeing this, Chang Xi shook her head and chuckled.

Xi He put Lin Fan down and said mysteriously, "Sister has brought you a gift this time."

"Oh? What is it?"

Lin Fan's interest was piqued.

Xi He then took out two jars of fine wine.

"This is... wine?"

Lin Fan's nose twitched. A clear, faint fragrance wafted towards him, as if the flowing moonlight carried a biting coldness, making one feel intoxicated before even drinking.

"It's brewed with osmanthus flowers and sealed under the Nine Heavens Profound Ice for a hundred thousand years. It was only unsealed today."

Chang Xi explained with a shallow smile.

"That osmanthus tree is one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots. The exquisite wine brewed from its flowers is sweet and mellow, and it can also increase cultivation and nourish the Primordial Spirit. It is truly a supreme treasure."

"It has such an origin?" Lin Fan's eyes lit up. He was determined to indulge today.

Xi He had already broken the mud seal and poured him a cup.

"Try it quickly."

Lin Fan raised his cup and drank it all in one go.

Instantly, a clear, cold sensation spread from his throat, and the mellow, long-lasting taste was intoxicating. He narrowed his eyes, and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks.

Lin Fan's adorable appearance made Chang Xi's gaze as gentle as water, and a smile appeared on her lips.

That smile was like melting ice and snow, beautiful enough to make one's heart race.

Xi He, standing beside them, couldn't help but laugh out loud and reached out to gently pinch Lin Fan's cheek.

Is it good?

It's so good. Lin Fan nodded.

He didn't use his Spiritual Power to suppress his drunkenness, letting the tipsy feeling wash over him. This drunkenness wasn't unpleasant at all; instead, it was exceptionally comfortable. After all, this was fine wine brewed from top-tier spiritual fruits.

Soon, a faint blush appeared on Lin Fan's cheeks, adding to his charm. Xi He smiled and had him sit on her lap, continuing to tease him.

Just then, a graceful figure quietly appeared. Chang Xi and Xi He were slightly surprised and turned to see Empress Nuwa. They quickly rose to pay their respects.

Nuwa asked calmly, "Do the two goddesses know my younger brother?"

Chang Xi replied with a smile, "We met Lin Fan while traveling in the Great Desolation."

Xi He, however, vaguely felt that Nuwa's gaze towards her was somewhat sharp.

"Sister, would you like to try some osmanthus wine too?" Lin Fan invited enthusiastically.

After Nuwa took her seat, the atmosphere became reserved. The Saint's pressure made the two goddesses afraid to joke around as they had before.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Emperor's Palace.

Donghuang Taiyi said to Di Jun with a grim expression, "The time has come. We should attack Purple Mansion Prefecture."

The Demon Sages all agreed.

"Dong Wang Gong actually dared to kill our Demon God and collude with that Lin Fan! He utterly disregards our Heavenly Court!"

"We must kill him to reassert the Heavenly Court's might!"

The Demon Sages were filled with righteous indignation, and Di Jun was also swayed. Although Purple Mansion Prefecture was not as powerful as the Heavenly Court, it was still a force. If they could annex it, not only would it help the Demon Race overcome its recent decline, but it would also deter the Witch Race.

However, he did not immediately agree. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Since Dong Wang Gong has allied with Lin Fan, rashly sending troops might not guarantee victory."

Di Jun's concerns, besides Lin Fan, also included the covetous gaze of the Witch Race.

Bai Ze noticed his hesitation and suggested, "If Your Majesty is worried about the news leaking, why not ask a Saint to help obscure the Heavenly Secrets, and then gather the Demon Race army for a surprise attack on Purple Mansion Prefecture."

"Lin Fan will be completely unprepared, and we are sure to destroy him in one fell swoop!"

This suggestion made Di Jun's eyes light up.

If they asked Laozi to conceal the Heavenly Secrets, Lin Fan would surely be unaware, and those brutish Witches would be even less of a threat.

This plan is feasible!

Thinking this, Di Jun no longer hesitated and immediately set off for Kunlun Mountain.

After Chang Xi and Xi He left, Nuwa's expression turned grim, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Lin Fan felt a sense of foreboding.

"Little brother, do you know you've made a grave mistake?" Nuwa's tone was stern.

"A grave mistake? What mistake have I made?" Lin Fan feigned ignorance. "Sister, are you referring to the matter with Chang Xi and Xi He?"

Nuwa nodded slightly, her words carrying unfathomable meaning, "The Heavenly Marriage and fate of these two are tied to destiny. How can they be allowed to be reversed?"

She had already sensed that the two women were particularly fond of Lin Fan, and such feelings were by no means accidental.

Heavenly Marriage? Lin Fan was stunned.

Had Sister already seen through the Heavenly Secrets?

"Sister, what do you mean? What does their Heavenly Marriage have to do with me?" he pretended not to understand.

Lin Fan blinked his eyes and asked, "You don't know?"

Nuwa looked slightly surprised, "You really don't know?"

Lin Fan shook his head.

Nuwa secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps she was overthinking it. Lin Fan is still young; how could he understand such complicated matters?

Her mood improved. She scooped Lin Fan into her arms, leaned in, and kissed him on the cheek, smiling, "Good little brother, let Sister give you a kiss!"

Lin Fan was helpless—this demoness, she sure has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.

After staying at Shouyang Mountain for several days, Lin Fan went to Buzhou Mountain as promised.
