Expedition to the Great Thousand World
A year later, Ice Master Ling Qingzhu became ancestors.
Three years later, the Devouring Master, the Six-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor, became an ancestor.
Five years later, the Six Ancient Masters became ancestral masters.
Eight years later, Qing Zhi became the ancestor, Symbol Ancestor became the Heaven Supreme Stage.
Ten years later, Little Marten, Little Flame, and Qing Tan became ancestors.
In just ten years, the Tianxuan Continent has seen a surge of double-digit Ancestor Stage experts.
In the same year, under the advocacy of the Martial Ancestor Lord, the Xuan Domain, the Demon Domain, and the Chaotic Demon Sea of Tianxuan Plane formed Alliance once again, a super-large Alliance covering the entire Tianxuan Continent.
All large-scale conflicts must cease and the matter should be submitted to the Alliance headquarters for a decision.
Lin Dong, who has already regarded the Tianxuan Plane as his base and the main force for opening up the Martial Realm in the future, will not allow any more major internal strife to occur, nor will he allow his backyard to be in turmoil during the years he has been away.
Eastern Xuan Region, Dao Sect.
Today, batches of super-strong individuals who stand at the pinnacle of the continent secretly visited the Dao Sect to bid farewell to the Ancestor Stage leaders who are about to embark on their journeys.
On a vast platform deep within the Dao Sect.
"Teacher, I will have to trouble you to stay in the Tianxuan Plane for a few more years. Our homeland needs an Ancestor Stage expert to guard it. Rest assured, it will take at least three to five years, and at most seven or eight years. We will definitely return safely."
Lin Dong bowed deeply to a refined-looking Green Shirt Man.
"You and I are both Ancestor Stage experts with lifespans of tens of thousands of years. Why should we care about these ten years or so? It's just a matter of going into seclusion. Don't worry, after you leave, your master will definitely protect the Tianxuan Plane for you."
Qing Zhi paused for a moment, then said, "Moreover, this Great Thousand World is imperative. The Outer Realm Demonic Tribe is powerful, and the Demonic Tribe Outer Realm Demonic Tribe is just a Minor Clan of it. If we destroy the Demonic Tribe today, another Blood Demon Tribe will come one day."
"Therefore, we should go to the Great Thousand World as soon as possible, occupy a continent and establish our power, and drag my Tianxuan Plane to the vicinity of the continent. This is the way to protect the Tianxuan Beings."
The return of the Symbol Ancestor allowed the higher-ups of Tianxuan to learn most of the information about the Great Thousand World.
Dragging the Tianxuan Plane to the heart of the Great Thousand World was a self-salvation method devised by the Tianxuan experts after much deliberation; it was a collective decision.
"Teacher, I will," Lin Dong said with a smile.
Just kidding, he's already decided on the location and name of his faction.
Qing Zhi nodded slightly, making way for him.
A middle-aged couple came up.
Although their cultivation levels were extremely insignificant among the many Cycle Stage Experts, almost all the experts subconsciously bowed to them, because they were the biological parents of the Martial Ancestor Lord.
"Dong'er, I won't stop you from going out into the world, but there's something I want an explanation for."
The Lin Xiao couple, who arrived together, exchanged a glance, and Liu Yan spoke first, "What do you plan to do with Qing Tan?"
Not far away, five beauties with different temperaments— Ying Huanhuan, Ling Qingzhu, Tang Xinlian, Kun Ling'er, and Xin Qing —almost all turned their gazes toward this place.
Tang Xinlian, Kun Ling'er, and Xin Qing are slightly weaker in cultivation and have just passed through the Three-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation, so they need to stay in the Tianxuan Plane for the time being.
"Mother, what are you talking about?!"
Qing Tan, who instantly became the center of attention, blushed deeply, feeling embarrassed that her mother had exposed her thoughts in public. She clung to Liu Yan's arm and pleaded coquettishly.
"Deal with Qing Tan? Qing Tan is my sister, of course I will care about her and love her, and she will also go to the Great Thousand World with me."
Lin Dong was slightly taken aback, then smiled.
Upon hearing this, the tall, beautiful woman in a black dress immediately reddened her eyes and instinctively buried her head deeply.
"Hey, you brat, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
After glancing at her precious daughter, Liu Yan grabbed Martial Ancestor Lord's ear with a look of exasperation and said angrily, "You brat, you've been precocious since you were little. I don't believe you don't understand how Qing Tan has felt for you all these years."
"Qing Tan is someone your father and I found in the snow and raised from scratch. She has no blood relation to you, as you all know. Now I'll ask you one question: can you treat Qing Tan well?"
"Mother, Mother, I am a powerful Ancestral Ancestor Stage expert. Can't you give me some face in public? There are so many people watching."
The Martial Ancestor Lord, whose ears were being pleaded with by Liu Yan, spoke with a wry smile.
The surrounding Samsara Stage Great Power not look at these things. Weren't they afraid of being silenced by the Martial Ancestor Lord? They all looked up at the sky or looked down at the ground, enduring the pain with great difficulty.
"Even if you are a powerful Ancestor Stage expert, you are still my son."
Liu Yan replied domineeringly, but still released the Martial Ancestor Lord's ears.
"I've always treated Qing Tan like a younger sister and never thought about it that way, but if Qing Tan really wants to be with me, then we can give it a try. We have a long future ahead of us."
Lin Dong glanced at Qing Tan, who was eavesdropping, and carefully considered each word, afraid of hurting this elfin girl.
"Very good, this is my good son, Lin Xiao."
Lin Xiao coughed lightly and nodded in satisfaction.
"Brother Lin Dong, you don't need to pity me. I will fight for my own happiness, I definitely will!"
With a flushed face, Qing Tan raised her fist at Lin Dong, then Ying Huanhuan her head in the arms of the Ice Blue Figure beside her.
Previously, Qing Tan had always had a good relationship with Ice Master.
Ying Huanhuan: "That was before!!!"
How do you keep smiling even when you're really angry?!
At the same time, the Martial Ancestor Lord felt five terrifying killing intents coming at him. He was actually quite flustered, but he could only pretend to be silent and act profound.
In the distance, the two couples, Little Marten and An Ran, and Little Flame and Huo Miao, were bidding each other a reluctant farewell. An Ran and Huo Miao could only stay in the Tianxuan Plane for the time being due to their strength.
"It's almost time, let's go."
Lin Dong flipped his palm, and as Eight-Colored Radiance flowed, a magnificent, glass-like treasure bowl condensed, which quickly grew to a size of a hundred feet.
The Eight Ancient Masters, Little Flame, Little Marten, Ling Qingzhu, Qing Tan, Symbol Ancestor, Six-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor and more than ten other Ancestor Stage experts exchanged glances and then swept to the bottom of the Eight Ancestor Glazed Bowl.
"Gentlemen, farewell."
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of Peak Experts, the inverted Eight Ancestor Glazed Bowl sucked Lin Dong and the others into it, then trembled slightly and suddenly transformed into a dazzling rainbow light that shot out towards the Outer Plane.
"Respectfully seeing off the Martial Ancestor Lord on his expedition to the Great Thousand World!"
"Respectfully seeing off the Martial Ancestor Lord on his expedition to the Great Thousand World!"
The next moment, a grand and resounding farewell chant rose up in unison.
On that day, the Martial Ancestor and his Fourteen Ancestors Breaking Through the Void and departed, laying the foundation for the Tianxuan Plane to last for ten thousand generations.
In the boundless, dark Boundless Void.
A crystal bowl swiftly traversed the Void Storm, seemingly oblivious to the Void Turbulence, clearly indicating it was an extremely powerful treasure.
"Huh, what's that?"
With a soft thud, a resolute-looking young man appeared above the treasure bowl.
In Plane Turbulence, a gigantic Ancient Black Ruler carried five figures with obscure auras forward at light speed. Leading them was a black-robed youth standing with his hands behind his back, a dazzling Fire Seal floating between his brows, exuding an elegant and unrestrained air.
Perhaps sensing that someone was watching, the man in black robes immediately followed the gaze in the opposite direction, reacting with exceptional speed.
The moment it looked down upon them, the Flame runes on the Eight Ancestor Glazed Bowl immediately shone brightly, showing a faint tendency to burst out of the bowl.
"So this is the way of the Emperor Flame..."
Lin Dong calmly quelled the restlessness of the Eight Ancestor Glazed Bowl, and waved enthusiastically to the dashing young man in black robes, as if he were seeing an old friend.
The man in black robes was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, then a rather charming smile appeared on his lips. He then cupped his hands in greeting, displaying an exceptionally magnanimous manner.
In the vast void, the foot-sized bowl swept in two completely opposite directions.
(The Heavenly Profound Arc, End!)
PS1: Regarding whether Qing Tan likes Lin Dong in the original novel, please refer to the original novel.
In Chapter 1246, seeing Ling Qingzhu and Lin Dong being intimate, Qing Tan pouted.
In Chapter 1247, Liu Yan asked Lin Dong what to do about Qing Tan. Lin Dong was puzzled, and Liu Yan sighed helplessly.
In Chapter 1254, Qing Tan deliberately coughs after discovering that Ling Qingzhu and Lin Dong are intimate.
In Chapter 1255, Qing Tan directly expresses her feelings. "Being able to look at you like this is enough to make me content."
Therefore, Qing Tan likes Lin Dong, but Lin Dong doesn't know it.
Ps2: According to this timeline, Lin Dong must have arrived in the Great Thousand World before Xiao Yan.
However, it would be too boring if the two main characters couldn't arrive in the Great Thousand World at the same time and then meet and become friends, so a slight adjustment has been made here.
Please be aware.
PS3: This is the last chapter of the Heavenly Profound Arc. I was always thinking about how to end it perfectly, so it's late. Sorry.
