“Let the Dao of Heaven be released.” Now that everything had been resolved, Lin Fan had no choice but to head to the Upper Realm.
A Great Master at the peak of his power could live only a few hundred years.
If one didn’t break through to a higher realm, after a few hundred years, one would merely become a handful of dust beneath the earth. Cultivation was about defying Heaven and seizing life from the jaws of fate, but in the end, one discovers that the sky itself is locked. Reaching the limit of cultivation only grants a lifespan of a hundred years.
Wasn’t that a cruel deception?
In truth, Lin Fan’s thoughts leaned even more toward Yuan Tiandi’s side.
“Fine, I will now return the Dao of Heaven to her,” Yuan Tiandi said at this moment, choosing to trust Lin Fan. In the young man’s eyes, he saw an unyielding belief and a heart determined to fight against fate.
“Release the Heavenly Dao now.” With the matter resolved, Lin Fan knew he must ascend to the upper realm.
How long can a Great Heavenly Perfection powerhouse live? Merely a few hundred years.
If one does not break through to a higher realm, after a few hundred years, they will be nothing but a handful of yellow earth. Practicing martial arts is defying the heavens, snatching life from the heavens, yet in the end, one discovers that this heaven is locked, and the limit of cultivation is only a hundred years of life.
Isn’t this just a cruel joke?
In truth, Lin Fan’s heart leaned more towards Yuan Tian Di’s side.
“Alright, I will return the Heavenly Dao to her now.” Yuan Tian Di chose to trust Lin Fan at this moment, seeing in the young man’s eyes an unyielding will, a heart that fights against fate.
“No need to give it to her; if you do, she won’t be the same person anymore,” Lin Fan said, then tore through the void with one hand, summoning the Heavenly Dao of Cangling Continent.
“This…” Yuan Tian Di and the others were stunned upon seeing the old man before them.
“He is the remaining quarter of the Heavenly Dao,” Lin Fan explained.
At this moment, Yuan Tian Di frowned. “If we merge this Heavenly Dao with him to form a complete Heavenly Dao, with the Heavenly Dao’s philosophy, he will break free from the barrier.”
“Don’t worry, he has been tamed by me and won’t do such a thing,” Lin Fan assured.
At this moment, Lin Fan trusted Yuan Tian Di’s words even more.
With the Heavenly Dao’s nature of disregarding human life, it would surely break free from the barrier set by the Supreme Being. Yuan Tian Di’s concern now made Lin Fan feel somewhat relieved.
The longer one lives, the more lies one tells.
But Yuan Tian Di didn’t seem to be such a person, and he was someone Lin Fan admired.
He kept his word, fulfilling all decisions, even at the cost of life, far better than that so-called Seven Sages old dog.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but think of that Seven Sages guy, wondering where he had gone. Since finding a new candidate, he seemed to have completely vanished from the world.
But never mind, that old dog couldn’t stir up any trouble.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded by Lin Fan’s words.
If even the Heavenly Dao could be tamed, what couldn’t be?
“Alright…” Yuan Tian Di nodded, and in an instant, a ball of light appeared in his palm. “This is the remaining Heavenly Dao.”
Lin Fan looked at the ball of light and nodded. “Heavenly Dao, slowly absorb him. The barrier of this world must not be destroyed.”
“Yes,” the old man Heavenly Dao nodded, then held the ball of light in his hands, slowly refining it.
…
“How much time do I have left?” Lin Fan asked.
“One day,” Yuan Tian Di replied.
“What? So soon?” Lin Fan was stunned. In one day, he would have to leave. This was way too fast.
“In one day, their divine consciousness will dissipate, and to open a breach in the barrier, we must rely on their divine consciousness,” Yuan Tian Di explained.
The four Supreme Beings looked at Yuan Tian Di, their expressions turning strange, and finally sighed. “Forget it, Tian Di, it’s been ten thousand years since we last gathered. Let’s spend this last day reminiscing about the past.”
At this moment, the Supreme Beings also let go, understanding Yuan Tian Di’s heart, and in these final moments, they recalled everything they once had.
“Alright,” Yuan Tian Di looked at the four and nodded.
…
Lin Fan sighed inwardly. One day, how could that be enough?
Holy Sect.
Lin Fan arrived at Nameless Peak, looking at the people by his side, feeling a bit melancholic.
“I always knew the Sect Leader was the most formidable, no challenge is too great for him,” Zhang Er Gou looked at Lin Fan with admiration.
“Of course, look who’s the teacher, teacher…” Zhi Qiao, the girl, clung to Lin Fan’s side.
Lin Fan smiled and patted Zhi Qiao’s head, then laughed heartily. “Today, I’m in a good mood, and all members of the Holy Demon Sect are gathered. I have an announcement to make.”
“What is it?” Xuan Yun Xian looked at Lin Fan, her face showing happiness.
“It’s about you…” Lin Fan said mysteriously.
“Ah? About me?” Xuan Yun Xian was stunned, then smiled softly, curious.
Mie Qiong Qi stood aside, looking at the Sect Leader, feeling sorrowful. After today, who knows when they would meet again.
But he wouldn’t show any inappropriate emotions now.
Lin Fan took Xuan Yun Xian’s delicate hand. “You’ve suffered following me, without even a proper title. Today, we shall marry, right here on Nameless Peak, with these disciples as witnesses.”
“Ah…” Xuan Yun Xian looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, never expecting such a thing, then whispered, “What’s wrong with you today? You’re acting strange.”
“Better late than never. If there are others in the future, you’ll be the first,” Lin Fan joked.
Hearing this, Xuan Yun Xian blushed. “The children are here.”
Lin Fan held Xuan Yun Xian’s hand, gently patting the back of her hand. “I wish to win your heart, to grow old together without parting. Sometimes, fate is a strange thing. Trust me, I will protect you all.”
“Mm…” Xuan Yun Xian had never heard such words before, her heartstrings trembling slightly, leaning happily against Lin Fan.
“Oh… Teacher is getting married,” Zhi Qiao laughed joyfully.
The second disciple, You Jiu Ling, also laughed happily, staying close to Zhi Qiao.
…
A simple wedding, without guests or grand ceremonies, everything was modest.
For Xuan Yun Xian, all she needed was a word, a promise, a commitment.
Night.
Before parting, they had a deep conversation. Yun Xian, tired, fell asleep.
Lin Fan dressed, looked at the starry sky, and in a blink, disappeared from this world.
Lin Fan arrived at Nine Heavens Sect, seeing Xin Feng with his white hair, managing the sect’s affairs.
Xin Feng was overjoyed to see Lin Fan, especially upon learning that Lin Fan had returned from death, his heart filled with excitement.
Tonight, the two talked much, and Xin Feng, seeing his brother, noticed nothing amiss.
At dawn, Lin Fan left Nine Heavens Sect.
He found the Desert Fourteen Bandits, who, adhering to his nonsensical teachings of robbery, had stubbornly continued. Lin Fan sighed, leaving a trace of power to protect these fourteen fools.
Then Lin Fan went to Cangling Continent, talking with his students, imparting some techniques, encouraging them to strive hard.
Originally, for Lin Fan, the script wasn’t supposed to unfold this way.
He had many attachments here, but what could he do? To control his future destiny, he must strive hard.
This was his responsibility, and his own pursuit.
…
On a mountain peak, Lin Fan looked up at the boundless sky, feeling reluctant to leave, but in an instant, buried this reluctance deep in his heart.
“Are you ready?” Yuan Tian Di asked Lin Fan.
“Yes, let’s begin,” Lin Fan took a deep breath, then nodded, looking at the group. “Sect Leader, I leave the Holy Demon Sect in your care.”
Sect Leader Yan looked at Lin Fan, sighed helplessly, and finally nodded.
“Boom…”
The divine consciousness of the four Supreme Beings erupted with their final power, a force that pierced through the heavens and earth.
At this moment, Lin Fan was stunned, seeing Yuan Tian Di’s aura weakening rapidly.
“Yuan Tian Di, you…” Lin Fan said in disbelief.
“Kid, you are the hope. I choose to believe in this hope. Don’t let me down,” Yuan Tian Di’s life force erupted suddenly, a powerful force that surged towards the heavens, as if to open a new path.
Yuan Tian Di gave up his life for this so-called hope. For this choice, he had regrets, but then felt no remorse.
Because there is only one hope. Miss it, and it’s gone forever.
Lin Fan looked at Yuan Tian Di and the Supreme Beings, then nodded.
At this moment, a small passage appeared in the void, a tiny path, but it was another road of hope.
“Boom…”
In an instant, Lin Fan’s figure vanished into the passage, disappearing completely…
Yuan Tian Di’s body turned to dust, scattering in the heavens and earth. The divine consciousness of the four Supreme Beings, at this moment, also reached the brink of collapse, dissipating completely.
On Nameless Peak, a figure stood alone, gazing into the distance.
“I wish to win your heart, to grow old together without parting. I will wait for your return…”
“This…” Yuan Tiandi and others were stunned when they saw the old man before them.
“He is the remaining one-fourth of the Dao of Heaven,” Lin Fan explained.
At this moment, Yuan Tiandi furrowed his brows. “If this fragment of the Dao of Heaven is fused into the complete Dao, with the Dao’s nature, he will break free from the barrier.”
“Don’t worry. He has already been tamed by me and won’t do such a thing,” Lin Fan replied.
At this moment, Lin Fan’s trust in Yuan Tiandi deepened further.
With the Dao of Heaven’s indifference to human life, it would definitely break free from the barrier set by the Supreme Beings. However, Yuan Tiandi’s concern at this moment actually reassured Lin Fan.
The longer one lives, the more lies one tells.
But Yuan Tiandi didn’t seem to be such a person, and he was indeed someone worthy of Lin Fan’s respect.
He always kept his word, fulfilling every decision he made, no matter the cost, even if it meant life or death. Compared to those seven Saint elders, those old dogs, he was much better.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but recall those seven Saints. He wondered where those guys had gone. Ever since they found new successors, they had seemingly vanished completely from the world.
But it didn’t matter anymore. Those old dogs couldn’t cause any trouble now.
At this moment, everyone who heard Lin Fan’s words was astonished.
If even the Dao of Heaven could be tamed, what else couldn’t be tamed?
“Good…” Yuan Tiandi nodded. In an instant, a ball of light appeared in his palm. “This is the remaining Dao of Heaven.”
Lin Fan looked at the ball of light and nodded. “Dao of Heaven, slowly absorb it. Do not damage the barrier of this world.”
“Yes,” the old Dao of Heaven nodded, then took the ball of light in his hands and began to refine it slowly.
…
“How much time do I have left?” Lin Fan asked.
“One day,” Yuan Tiandi replied.
“What? So soon? In just a day, I’ll have to leave. That’s way too fast!”
“In one day, their divine consciousness will dissipate into nothingness. To open a breach in the barrier, we must rely on their divine consciousness,” Yuan Tiandi explained.
The four Supreme Beings looked at Yuan Tiandi, their eyes filled with strange expressions. Finally, they sighed. “Alright then. It’s been ten thousand years since we last spent time together. On this final day, let’s have a good chat.”
At this moment, the Supreme Beings also came to terms with the situation. They understood Yuan Tiandi’s heart and let go of everything, reminiscing about all they had once possessed during their final moments.
“Alright,” Yuan Tiandi looked at the four of them and nodded.
…
At this moment, Lin Fan also sighed inwardly. One day’s time—how could that possibly be enough?
The Holy Sect.
Lin Fan arrived at the Nameless Peak, looking at the people who had accompanied him, his heart filled with a sense of melancholy.
“I always knew our Sect Leader was the most powerful. Any danger or difficulty becomes nothing in his hands,” Zhang Erdou said, looking at Lin Fan with admiration.
“Of course! Just look at who her teacher is,” said the girl Zhiqiao, clinging to Lin Fan’s side.
Lin Fan smiled and patted Zhiqiao’s head, then laughed heartily. “I’m in a great mood today. All the members of our Holy Demon Sect are gathered here. Today, I have a happy announcement to make.”
“What happy news?” Xuan Yuxian looked at Lin Fan, her face filled with happiness.
“It’s about you…” Lin Fan said mysteriously.
“Ah? About me?” Xuan Yuxian was taken aback, then smiled faintly, clearly curious.
Standing aside, Mei Qiong watched the Sect Leader with deep sorrow in his heart. After today, who knew when they would meet again.
But at this moment, he didn’t show any sign of his inner turmoil.
Lin Fan took Xuan Yuxian’s delicate hand. “It’s been unfair to you, my dear. I haven’t given you a proper title. Today, let’s get married, right here on Nameless Peak, with these disciples as our witnesses.”
“Ahh…” Xuan Yuxian looked at Lin Fan in disbelief. She hadn’t expected this and softly asked, “What’s gotten into you today? You’re acting so strange.”
“Better to do it now than later. If there are others in the future, you’ll be the first lady,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xuan Yuxian’s face turned red. “The kids are watching.”
Lin Fan held Xuan Yuxian’s hand gently. “To have one person’s heart and never part until old age—sometimes fate is a strange thing. Believe me, I will protect all of you.”
“Okay…” Xuan Yuxian had never heard such words before. Her heart fluttered with a sweet sensation as she leaned happily against Lin Fan.
“Oh… the teacher is getting married,” the girl Zhiqiao laughed joyfully.
Her second apprentice, You Jiuling, also laughed happily, staying close to Zhiqiao.
…
A simple wedding, without guests or grand ceremonies—everything was kept simple.
For Xuan Yuxian, what mattered most was a single sentence, a promise, a commitment.
Nightfall.
An intimate conversation before parting. After Yuxian grew tired, she fell asleep.
Lin Fan dressed himself, gazed at the starry sky, and in the blink of an eye, vanished from this world.
Lin Fan arrived at the Jiuxiao Sect and saw Xin Feng with flowing white hair, busily organizing sect affairs.
Seeing Lin Fan’s arrival, Xin Feng was naturally overjoyed. Upon learning that Lin Fan had returned from death, Xin Feng’s heart was even more excited.
That night, the two talked for a long time. Seeing his brother again, Xin Feng noticed nothing unusual about Lin Xiong.
At dawn, Lin Fan left the Jiuxiao Sect.
He found the Fourteen Desert Bandits, who had been steadfastly following the path of robbery based on his random words. Seeing them, Lin Fan sighed deeply and left a bit of power to protect these fourteen fools.
Then Lin Fan went to Cangling Continent, conversing with his students, imparting some techniques, encouraging them to strive hard.
Originally, this wasn’t how Lin Fan had imagined things unfolding.
Lin Fan had many attachments to this place, but what could he do with attachments? To control his future destiny, he had to strive forward.
It was a responsibility, and also a personal pursuit.
…
On a mountaintop, Lin Fan looked up at the boundless sky, feeling deep reluctance to leave this place. But in an instant, he buried this reluctance deep in his heart.
“Are you ready?” Yuan Tiandi asked Lin Fan.
“Yes, I’m ready. Let’s begin,” Lin Fan took a deep breath, nodded, and looked toward the group of people. “Sect Leader, I’ll leave the Holy Demon Sect in your capable hands from now on.”
Looking at Lin Fan, the Sect Leader sighed helplessly but finally nodded.
“Boom…”
The divine consciousness of the four Supreme Beings unleashed their final power, a force that pierced through the entire world.
At that moment, Lin Fan’s expression changed. He saw Yuan Tiandi’s aura weakening rapidly.
“Yuan Tiandi, you…” Lin Fan couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
“Young man, you are the hope. I choose to believe in this hope, and I hope you won’t disappoint me,” Yuan Tiandi’s life force suddenly surged at this moment, an immense power shooting straight into the heavens, as if trying to carve out a new path.
At this moment, Yuan Tiandi had given up his life for the sake of this so-called hope. He had hesitated about this choice, but then he had no regrets.
Because there was only one hope. If it was missed, it would never come again.
Lin Fan looked at Yuan Tiandi and the Supreme Beings and nodded.
“Release the Heavenly Dao,” Lin Fan said. Now that the matters were resolved, he had to ascend to the upper realm.
How long could a Great Heavenly Realm Perfection expert live? Merely a few hundred years.
If one didn’t break through to a higher realm, after a few hundred years, they would be nothing but a handful of dust. Cultivation was defying the heavens, snatching life from the heavens, but in the end, one would discover that this heaven was locked. The limit of cultivation was merely a hundred years of life.
Wasn’t that just a cruel joke?

“He is the remaining quarter of the Heavenly Dao,” Lin Fan explained.
At this moment, Yuan Tian Di frowned. “If we merge this Heavenly Dao with him to form a complete Heavenly Dao, with the Heavenly Dao’s principles, he will break free from the barrier.”
“Don’t worry, he has been tamed by me and won’t do such a thing,” Lin Fan assured.
At this moment, Lin Fan trusted Yuan Tian Di’s words even more.
With the Heavenly Dao’s nature of disregarding human life, it would undoubtedly break free from the barrier set by the Supreme Being. Now that Yuan Tian Di expressed such concern, it actually relieved Lin Fan.
The longer one lives, the more lies they tell.
But Yuan Tian Di didn’t seem to be such a person, and he was someone Lin Fan admired.
He kept his promises, and once he decided on something, he would see it through, even if it meant life or death. He was far better than that so-called Seven Sages.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but think of the Seven Sages. He wondered where that guy had gone. Ever since he found a new candidate, it was as if he had completely vanished from the world.
But it didn’t matter. That old dog couldn’t cause any trouble.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded by Lin Fan’s words.

“One day later, their divine consciousness will dissipate, and to open a breach in the barrier, we must rely on their divine consciousness,” Yuan Tian Di explained.
The four Supreme Beings looked at Yuan Tian Di, their expressions turning strange. Finally, they sighed, “Forget it, Tian Di. It’s been ten thousand years since we last gathered. Let’s spend this last day reminiscing about the past.”
At this moment, the Supreme Beings also let go and understood Yuan Tian Di’s heart, setting aside everything to cherish the final moments and recall all they had once possessed.
“Alright,” Yuan Tian Di looked at the four and nodded.
…
Lin Fan sighed inwardly. One day—how could that be enough?
At the Sacred Sect.
Lin Fan arrived at Nameless Peak, looking at the people by his side, feeling a sense of melancholy.
“I always knew the Sect Leader was the most formidable. No difficulty could stand in his way,” Zhang Er Gou said, looking at Lin Fan with admiration.
“Of course, who do you think my teacher is? Teacher…” Zhi Qiao, the girl, clung to Lin Fan’s side.
Lin Fan smiled and patted Zhi Qiao’s head, then laughed heartily. “Today, I’m in a good mood. All members of the Sacred Demon Sect are gathered here. I have an announcement to make.”

“Me?” Xuan Yun Xian was stunned, then smiled softly, curious.
Mie Qiong Qi stood to the side, looking at the Sect Leader, his heart filled with sorrow. After today, who knew when they would meet again?
But he wouldn’t show any signs of distress.
Lin Fan took Xuan Yun Xian’s delicate hand. “It’s been hard on you, following me without a proper title. Today, we’ll get married, right here on Nameless Peak, with these disciples as our witnesses.”
“Ah…” Xuan Yun Xian looked at Lin Fan in disbelief. She hadn’t expected this, then softly said, “What’s wrong with you today? Why are you speaking so strangely?”
“Better late than never. If there are others in the future, you’ll be the first,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xuan Yun Xian’s face turned red. “The children are here.”
Lin Fan held Xuan Yun Xian’s hand, gently patting the back of it. “I wish to win your heart, and grow old together. Sometimes, fate is a strange thing. Trust me, I will protect you all.”

“Boom…”
The divine consciousness of the four Supreme Beings erupted with their final power, a force that pierced through the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, Lin Fan was stunned. He saw Yuan Tian Di’s aura growing weaker and weaker.
“Yuan Tian Di, you…” Lin Fan said in disbelief.
“Kid, you are the hope. I choose to believe in this hope. Don’t let me down,” Yuan Tian Di’s life force suddenly burst forth, a powerful force that surged towards the heavens, as if trying to open a new path.

“Boom…”
In an instant, Lin Fan’s figure disappeared into the passage, vanishing completely…
Yuan Tian Di’s body turned to dust, scattering in the heavens and the earth. The divine consciousness of the four Supreme Beings was on the verge of collapse, dissipating entirely.
On Nameless Peak, a lonely figure gazed into the distance.
“I wish to win your heart, and grow old together. I will wait for your return…”
