Chapter 3240 Finale

Inside the hall, Lin Xun stood quietly, a newborn baby girl resting peacefully in his arms. His eyes softened with tenderness, while a gentle smile lingered on his lips.

Beside him, Lin Fan said with a smile, “Father, Tang Jiang hopes that you will name the child.”

Lin Wenjing and Luo Qingxun watched from the side, their expressions warm. Nearby, Lin Hengyun, Lin Henglan, and their siblings gathered close, staring at Lin Xun with bright, curious eyes, unable to conceal their excitement. On the other side stood Xia Zhi and Wushuang.

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Xun spoke, “How about...Hengyuan.”

Though the baby girl had only just been born, her features were already delicate and refined, her bright, dark eyes glistening with life. The moment Lin Xun spoke the name ‘Hengyuan,’ she let out a soft cry, as if brimming with joy.

It was only natural. This little girl was no ordinary child. She carried the bloodline of Lin Fan and Tang Jiang. She was born with innate talent. Furthermore, with Lin Xun’s cultivation, the moment he bestowed her name, an unseen current of fate power quietly flowed into her body.

“Hengyuan...what a wonderful name!” Lin Fan exclaimed, beaming.

“Your father chose it, even if it sounded terrible, would you dare say so?” Zhao Jingxuan smiled.

Laughter rippled through the hall. On that day, Lin Xun’s return stirred the entire Lin Clan. The news spread swiftly, reaching the cultivators of the Origin Sect, the Ji Clan, and the New Genesis Sect within Fortune Divine City.

In an instant, it caused a great uproar. Before long, news of Lin Xun’s return after attaining the dao spread from Fortune Divine City across the entire Fortune Dominion, reaching its countless epochal worlds and sending shockwaves throughout the world.

Lin Xun! Across the heavens, who would dare forget the power that name represents?

Of course, none knew what had unfolded within the All-Wonder Dominion. Had that been revealed, the resulting upheaval would have been far greater.

......

Three months later.

Fortune Divine City, the Lin Clan.

Inside a grand hall, Lin Fan sat with furrowed brow. “I don’t know who leaked the news, but now all the divine clan across the various epochal civilizations of the Fortune Dominion know that Father will marry Aunt Xia Zhi next month.”

In recent days, the city had grown more lively than ever before. Countless influential figures had flocked there, all awaiting the wedding. Even ancient monsters who had remained in closed-door cultivation for countless years had emerged.

Tang Jiang spoke gently, “Husband, what kind of person is Father? His every move draws the attention of the world. And an event as important as a marriage...how could it possibly be kept hidden.”

Lin Fan gave a wry smile. “Father had originally planned to keep it low-profile, inviting only a few close family members and friends. But now...I’m afraid that won’t be possible.”

“This cannot be handled lightly.” At that moment, Zhao Jingxuan walked in. “Back in his youth, your Aunt Xia Zhi stood by your father’s side through everything. Now that the two of them have finally come together, I am truly overjoyed. Since the news has already spread, we might as well make this wedding as grand as it deserves to be.”

Lin Fan looked at his mother in surprise. “Mother, aren’t you even a little jealous?”

Zhao Jingxuan gave a cold snort. “What do you know? Don’t talk nonsense. You will handle this matter. If anything goes wrong, I won’t let you off lightly!”

With that, she turned and left without another word. Tang Jiang covered her lips with a smile. “Husband, in the days ahead, everything will depend on you.”

Lin Fan rose at once. “Then I’ll go find some help.”

That very day, Lin Fan paid visits to many powerful figures, including Xuan Feiling, Dugu Yong, Fang Daoping and other old monsters of the Origin Sect, Ji Wangtu, Ji Xi, Ji Shanhai and others of the Ji Clan, as well as his father’s close friends such as A’hu, Toady, A’lu, and the big black crow. Upon hearing his purpose, every one of them agreed without hesitation.

As the days passed, Fortune Divine City grew ever more crowded. Figures of terrifying power could be seen everywhere. Mighty beings from countless epochs across the Fortune Dominion had gathered here. One after another, they arrived in advance, each bearing carefully prepared gifts of congratulations.

However, an awkward truth soon became apparent. Not just anyone could obtain an invitation to the Lin Clan’s wedding. Even the patriarchs of supreme divine clans, despite exhausting every connection at their disposal, found it exceedingly difficult to secure one.

Despite that, no one was willing to leave. Even if they could not attend the banquet, they still chose to remain, just for the chance to witness, from afar, how many supreme figures would gather when the wedding began.

After all, with Lin Xun’s current standing, he could be regarded as the number one person beneath the heavens, an unparalleled existence peerless across all ages. Those qualified to attend his wedding...how could they possibly be ordinary?

In truth, in the eyes of those great figures, this was no mere wedding banquet. Rather, it was a grand occasion that had drawn the attention of the entire world.

At last, the wedding day arrived.

On that day, auspicious clouds drifted across the skies above the city, suffused with radiant hues. Cascades of divine light poured down like celestial waterfalls. Heavenly music resounded, clear as phoenix cries, solemn as the tolling of ancient bells, echoing between heaven and earth, and filling all with a boundless, joyous serenity.

The entire city was immersed in an atmosphere of celebration and harmony. The gathered cultivators were all stirred by the sight. Countless wondrous phenomena converged, weaving together a scene so magnificent and resplendent that it inspired an almost instinctive urge to bow in reverence.

Within the Fangchun Secret Realm everything had likewise been transformed. At its center stood a grand hall adorned with lanterns and vibrant decorations, with a long crimson carpet stretching across the ground.

Before the hall rose an immense archway, forged entirely from auspicious clouds of the great dao. Dao rhythms shimmered and flowed through it, and anyone passing beneath could clearly feel a vast, overwhelming aura of the great dao washing over them.

To cultivate within such an environment would be no different from obtaining a heaven-defying fortune. However, today, its purpose was remarkably simple: to welcome guests.

Inside the hall, many figures were already gathered. At the forefront stood members of the Lin Clan, led by Lin Wenjing and his wife, alongside Lin Zhong, Lin Huaiyuan, Lin Xuefeng, and others.

Nearby were Xuan Jiuyin, Jintian Xuanyue, the couple Su Bai and Gu Xi, A’hu, the big black crow, A’lu, Little Sky, Jiujiu, Toady, the array spirit Little Five, the sword spirit Yezi and many other companions who had stood by Lin Xun through the years.

Also present were Yu Beidou and Chu Feng of the Ziyao Empire’s Rune Master Association, instructors from Qinglu Academy, Gu Yanping and Gu Liang of Golden Jade Hall, and Shi Yu and his daughter Shi Linlang of Stone Cauldron Alms. On the other side stood Xuan Feiling, Dugu Yong, Fang Daoping, Yuan Wutian, and other figures of the Origin Sect.

From the Ancient Wasteland Domain came great beings such as Battle Emperor Mo Yang, Saint Buddha Xingjia, Dark Blood Underworld Emperor, and the Underworld Son. These close allies had resided in Fortune Divine City for many years, and in recent times had personally overseen preparations for the wedding. Today, they would bear witness to a wedding unlike any other in history.

As time passed, the preparations were complete. The entire venue was so grand and magnificent it seemed capable of astonishing the ages. Lin Fan and Tang Jiang stood before the main hall with their children, ready to receive the honored guests.

Lin Fan’s nine children stood in order: the eldest son Lin Hengyun, second son Lin Hengxiao, third daughter Lin Hengjue, fourth daughter Lin Hengshan, fifth son Lin Hengqiu, sixth son Lin Hengxue, seventh son Lin Hengfeng, eighth daughter Lin Henglan, and ninth son Lin Hengdu. Of course, the youngest, Lin Hengyuan, still lay in swaddling.

For this wedding, all of the Lin Clan’s kin and allies who had long roamed the world had already returned days in advance. None dared show even the slightest neglect.

Auspicious clouds drifted in clusters as radiant hues spread across the heavens. Divine light cascaded from the azure sky, while resplendent dao radiance vied with the brilliance of the sun and moon. Waves of heavenly dao music echoed between heaven and earth, suffusing the Fangchun Secret Realm with a sacred and transcendent aura.

As the appointed hour drew near, the lively atmosphere gradually faded, replaced by a solemn stillness.

Suddenly, Xuan Feiling’s deep voice rang out, echoing across heaven and earth, “The auspicious hour has arrived!”

Clang! Clang! Clang! Peal after peal of bells rang out, shaking the firmament. There were nine tolls in total.

In an instant, everyone within and beyond the venue straightened, their expressions turning solemn.

“Welcome the guests!” Xuan Feiling proclaimed.

His voice carried far and wide, echoing throughout the Fangchun Secret Realm and resounding across the skies above the entire Fortune Divine City. At that moment, the whole city fell silent. Countless cultivators held their breath, knowing that this grand, world-shaking wedding was about to unfold!

Meanwhile, within the Fangchun Secret Realm, as Xuan Feiling gave the order to welcome the guests, the fabric of space suddenly rippled. A majestic figure stepped forth, elegant and transcendent, like a sovereign presiding over the nine heavens. It was none other than Bodhi, the Lord of Fangchun Mountain!

Behind him followed forty-nine successors of Fangchun Mountain, including the Combat Emperor, Zhong Qiu, Ruo Su, Ling Xuanzi, and the others. Their arrival stirred immediate commotion. Even the gathered great figures could not help but feel shaken.

Fangchun Mountain! Who in the world did not know that this was Lin Xun’s sect? Now that even a supreme being like the Lord of Fangchun Mountain had arrived in person, how could anyone remain unmoved?

Bodhi swept his gaze across the scene and smiled faintly. “Quite lively today.”

Behind him, the successors of Fangchun Mountain all wore smiles. On their way here, they had already witnessed the immense stir caused by their little junior brother’s wedding.

Before the commotion could settle, space rippled once more. The founder of the Origin Sect, Yuan Chu, and the founder of the Spirit Sect, Xu Yin, appeared together, accompanied by Lone Man, Elder Seer, and a host of towering figures such as Xing Jianxia, ​​Fu Nanli, and Ren Futian.

Another wave of commotion swept through the crowd. Even Xuan Feiling and Dugu Yong were visibly shaken. They had never expected that the two founders themselves, Yuan Chu and Xu Yin, would arrive, leading such a formidable assembly of elders.

Both astonished and overjoyed, they hurried forward to greet them. By now, the entire venue had erupted into an uproar, and countless onlookers stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Many members of the Lin Clan were still completely in the dark. They had no idea that, at this very moment, mighty figures who existed only in legends would arrive one after another. Only Lin Fan remained calm, a faint smile on his lips.

After all, he had arranged everything himself. He knew full well that this gathering would be far more than just the seniors of Fangchun Mountain, the Origin Sect, and the Spirit Sect attending.

Before long, ripples stirred through the void once more. Another group had arrived. This time, there were only two figures. However, the moment they appeared, the entire venue fell silent. All eyes were drawn toward them.

They were none other than Chen Xi and Chen Linkong. Even Bodhi, Yuan Chu, Xu Yin, and the others personally stepped forward to greet them. Those who did not know their identities were instantly shaken. Seeing them receive this level of respect, they immediately understood that these two were no ordinary existences.

Today was Lin Xun’s wedding day. Thus, whether it was Chen Xi and Chen Linkong, or other great figures like Bodhi, Yuan Chu, and Xu Yin, all had restrained their auras upon arrival, revealing not the slightest trace of their overwhelming power. Even so, their mere presence still pressed upon the soul itself, causing it to tremble instinctively.

Lin Hengyun and his siblings had long since frozen in place, their hearts churning. Only now did they truly begin to understand just how immense their grandfather’s power was. Everything they had witnessed over the past few days paled in comparison to the shock of this moment.

Especially after hearing from their father, Lin Fan, about the backgrounds of these towering figures, each of them felt as though they were caught in a dream.

Furthermore, judging by the reactions of everyone else present, they were not alone. Ever since returning to the Fortune Divine City, Lin Xun had scarcely spoken of the Sea of ​​Fate or the All-Wonder Dominion. Because of this, no one had truly grasped until now that the power he now possessed was utterly beyond anything he had shown in the past.

When Chen Xi, Bodhi, and the others arrived, they each presented congratulatory gifts. One after another, rare and unimaginable treasures were revealed, sending waves of astonishment through the wedding ceremony again. The value of these gifts far exceeded anything the crowd had anticipated.

Any single one of them was something even the most powerful Eternal Divine Clan would not dare dream of possessing!

Only after all the guests had taken their seats did Xuan Feiling’s voice ring out, “At last...the wedding ceremony begins.”

In an instant, bells and drums resounded. Waves of heavenly dao music drifted through the air as auspicious omens suffused heaven and earth. Under the gaze of all present, two figures emerged from the central hall, drawing every eye.

Today, Lin Xun stood clad in crimson wedding robes. Beside him was Xia Zhi, crowned with a phoenix coronet and draped in embroidered silks, her figure graceful beyond compare.

The newlyweds stood upon the steps of the hall. Above them, divine light streamed down from the heavens, while dao melodies echoed far and wide. In the distance, honored guests filled the seats, as the sound of bells and drums rose without end.

This moment was destined to be etched forever into the memories of all who witnessed it. The ceremony was presided over by Bodhi, Lord of Fangchun Mountain, and witnessed by countless family members, friends, and supreme figures of the world.

Then, the wedding banquet began. The celebration lasted an entire day. Lin Xun could no longer recall how many cups of wine he had drunk, nor how many friends he had spoken with. He only knew that this day passed without the slightest trace of unhappiness.

On this day, he was no supreme existence who had mastered the Dao of Life, but simply a groom, an ordinary man cherishing the unique joy of this moment. The dao was the dao. And love was love.

......

That night, within the bridal chamber, red candles flickered softly as silk curtains swayed, casting the room in a tranquil, intimate glow.

Xia Zhi, dressed in a brilliant red phoenix coronet and embroidered gown, sat quietly upon the bed. Under the lamplight, her fair, delicate features appeared all the more breathtaking, and even her clear, star-like eyes shimmered with a quiet, captivating brilliance.

In the quiet of the room, only she and Lin Xun remained. The sounds of the outside world seemed to fade into nothingness. Lin Xun stepped forward and sat beside her. Her lashes trembled faintly, as if she had only just realized what this night would bring. In a soft voice, she murmured, “Lin Xun...”

Before she could finish, her words were gently stilled by a kiss. What followed was tender and beyond words, a moment that belonged to them alone, never to be shared with others.

......

That same night, the city remained ablaze with light. Laughter, conversation, and the clinking of cups echoed without end. The guests of the wedding banquet were still gathered, drinking and chatting in high spirits.

Meanwhile, in a quiet hall upon the mountainside, the atmosphere was serene. Cradling the sleeping Lin Hengyuan in her arms, Zhao Jingxuan spoke softly, “Miss Xuanyue, I told you before, if you were willing, I would speak to my husband on your behalf. So many years have passed...surely he should know your feelings by now.”

Beside her, clad in white, the stunning Jintian Xuanyue felt her heart tremble slightly. After a pause, she shook her head. “Sister, there’s no need. As long as I can remain by the young master’s side, I am already content.”

Zhao Jingxuan sighed inwardly. “Of all things in this world, perhaps the most unfathomable is the matter of the heart. As cultivators, who among us can truly sever the seven emotions and six desires?”

She could not help but feel pity for Jintian Xuanyue.

Jintian Xuanyue only smiled, her expression calm and untroubled. “Cultivating the dao is also cultivating the heart. I once served as the young master’s dao attendant, and long ago, I made up my mind that I will never marry in this life.”

Zhao Jingxuan gave a soft hum of acknowledgement, then chuckled lightly, “Like father, like son. Fan’er is just as clueless. Over the years, who knows how many women have fallen for him, yet he gives his heart to Tang Jiang alone.”

Jintian Xuanyue couldn’t help but smile as well.

......

The day after the wedding ceremony ended.

Chen Xi, Chen Linkong, Bodhi and the other great figures departed one after another. The remaining guests also gradually took their leave. At the same time, news of the events at the wedding spread beyond the city, stirring waves of discussion.

“Senior Lin Xun’s cultivation...has it already reached a level unrivaled beneath the heavens?”

“It must be so. Otherwise, how could so many supreme figures have personally come to offer their congratulations?”

“The Lin Clan is truly blessed!”

Across Fortune Divine City and throughout the various epochal worlds of the Fortune Dominion, people spoke endlessly of the wedding. Before long, the news spread even further, reaching the Nine Great Heaven Domains of the Eternal True Realm, the Great Thousand Worlds, the Ancient Nebula Road, and beyond, setting off wave after wave of astonishment.

Time flowed on, and year followed year. Lin Xun remained within the Lin Clan, quietly enjoying the warmth of family life.

Beyond the Fortune Dominion, within the vast expanse of the Spirit Martial Epoch, encompassing countless world planes such as the Eternal True Realm and the Great Thousand Worlds, a faint aura of calamity began to spread.

“An epochal calamity is about to descend!”

Across the myriad worlds, countless powerful beings sensed the ominous signs at once, their hearts seized by unease and dread.

“How...how could this be?”

Countless cultivators were left shaken and bewildered. Once such a calamity descended, there would be nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape, for all living beings existed within the Spirit Martial Epoch. When the epochal calamity arrived, none could evade it, whether cultivator or mortal.

“This is fate, the cycle of the heavenly dao. When a great calamity befalls the world, who can possibly escape it...?”

Some fell into despair, their hearts turning to ash.

“Have you not seen? Even supreme beings like Lin Xun have chosen to lie low within the Fortune Dominion. As for insignificant figures like us...we are destined to perish along with this epoch.” A long, helpless sigh drifted through the world.

However, on that very day, a single thought resounded across the heavens: “Today, I, Lin Xun, will resolve the calamity and establish the dao.”

The voice was faint, yet it rose to the ninth heaven and spread instantly across all realms and worlds. At that moment, all living beings felt it. They stopped where they stood, gazing toward the heavens with solemn, reverent expressions, as though their very souls were being cleansed by an unseen force.

Those with great powers suddenly realized that the gathering aura of the epochal calamity had vanished without a trace. At some unknown moment, it had silently disappeared, no longer perceptible in the slightest.

However, unlike before, the Heavenly Cycle Dao Laws of the Spirit Martial Epoch now bore an additional mysterious and unfathomable law power. It was so profound that even divine beings trembled before it!

That was Lin Xun’s own dao aura! To become the heart of heaven and earth, to live for all living things, and to usher in an era of lasting peace for all generations.

“Senior Lin Xun...he actually resolved the epochal calamity...rewrote the order of heaven, and saved all living beings from the impending disaster!”

“Heavens!”

“Just how powerful has he become?!”

Countless cries of astonishment and shock resounded across the Eternal True Realm, the Great Thousand Worlds, and innumerable cosmic planes. No one had imagined that a successor of Fangchun Mountain could suppress an epochal calamity, establish the dao within the world, and save all beings from the brink of destruction.

Even more inconceivable was that he had transcended the very Heavenly Cycle Dao Laws of the Spirit Martial Epoch, forcing even the laws of heaven to bow before him.

Before long, those memories of Lin Xun and all he had done vanished silently, as though erased by an unseen hand. Confusion arose, but no matter how they racked their minds, nothing could be recalled. As for the billions of living beings in the world, they had never known that anything had happened at all.

“The dao is formless and nameless...therefore, it is omnipresent. If any trace of me, Lin Xun, were to remain within it...that would itself be a flaw.”

Within the Fangchun Secret Realm, Lin Xun reclined in a rocking chair, a faint smile on his lips as he sipped his wine. Not far away, a small child was learning to walk, stumbling and falling from time to time.

Behind them, Xia Zhi watched quietly, her eyes filled with gentle tenderness. This was their child. From the moment they were born, they became another light in Xia Zhi’s world, shining alongside Lin Xun.
