Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

580. Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony

The Observing Heaven Sect ultimately merged with the Eternal Life Alliance, doing so without a trace of resentment. The three god-level cultivators of the sect acknowledged their defeat wholeheartedly.

Who would have thought that Lin Fei had already ascended to the rank of True Monarch? When a True Monarch descended upon the Ancient Continent, they became invincible, capable of dominating the entire land.

Indeed, the Ancient Continent of today was a far cry from the one that once bore true immortals and martial ancestors. In the current era, god-level cultivators stood at the pinnacle. As for True Monarchs, they had to ascend to the Divine Realm to reach such heights.

"What are your intentions, the three of you?" Lin Fei inquired of the three god-level cultivators from the Observing Heaven Sect. He had no intention of slaying these three god-level cultivators, for their behavior had been rather "astute," and there was no need to take their lives.

The three of them exchanged glances before respectfully stating, "Since we have chosen to remain in the Ancient Continent, it means we do not wish to go to the Divine Realm. If the True Monarch is willing to accept us, the three of us are willing to serve the True Monarch!"

These three god-level cultivators had actively chosen to join Lin Fei. After all, god-level cultivators within the Ancient Continent were considered top-tier existences.

With Lin Fei at the helm, toppling the Ancient Continent would be a straightforward matter for the Eternal Life Alliance. Thus, if they could join the Eternal Life Alliance now, it would be a boon for these three god-level cultivators.

"If the three god-level cultivators wish to join the Eternal Life Alliance, then the Eternal Life Alliance naturally welcomes it," Lin Fei readily agreed. "For now, the three god-level friends shall become elders of the Eternal Life Alliance. What say you?"

The three cultivators nodded in agreement. "We thank the True Monarch!"

In truth, their decision to join the Eternal Life Alliance served another purpose—to prevent the complete annihilation of the Observing Heaven Sect.

With their inclusion, the Observing Heaven Sect could gradually assimilate into the Eternal Life Alliance instead of being obliterated by Lin Fei. This was the last act they could perform on behalf of the Observing Heaven Sect.

Lin Fei did not linger in the Observing Heaven Sect for long. He promptly returned to the Eternal Life Alliance, leaving others to handle the integration of the Observing Heaven Sect. Lin Fei did not pay much attention to such trivial matters.

With the Observing Heaven Sect merging into the Eternal Life Alliance, and even its three god-level cultivators joining, the entire Ancient Continent was shaken to its core. Especially the various forces and strong individuals who had witnessed the entire process of Lin Fei's confrontation with the three god-level cultivators. At this moment, they fell silent.

Despite the Eternal Life Alliance continuously propagating this matter, these forces remained silent. It was not because they were unprepared. They knew that Lin Fei must have some backing to dare to take action against the Observing Heaven Sect. While the possibility of the Eternal Life Alliance obliterating the Observing Heaven Sect was slim, it did exist. Even if it happened, many powerful individuals or forces would not be surprised.

However, their current silence was due to the unexpected turn of events. They could never have imagined that Lin Fei was a True Monarch, surpassing Martial Gods. If he had been a Martial God, even a top-tier one, they would not have feared. After all, they would still have room to maneuver and negotiate in a battle against Martial Gods. But against a Martial True Monarch, what could they possibly use to resist?

Lin Fei also knew that once his True Monarch status was exposed, it would send shockwaves throughout the Ancient Continent's major forces. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to take further action. Instead, he patiently waited. He believed that many major forces would make their decisions accordingly. When the time came, Lin Fei might be able to achieve his goals without fighting, effectively sweeping across the entire Ancient Continent.

Days passed by, and after ten days, Lin Fei embarked on his next move. This time, his targets were the Three Immortal Caverns, the Nine Dragons Sect, and the Frozen Dao. These three major forces were rumored to have god-level cultivators presiding over them—extraordinary and formidable figures.

However, Lin Fei took action. Within a single day, he consecutively crushed three major forces. Among them, the Three Immortal Caverns put up a stubborn resistance. Lin Fei unleashed the Saber World, completely wiping out the Three Immortal Caverns.

Yes, completely wiped out. Every member of the Three Immortal Caverns, from those at the Deity Transformation, Nascent Soul, Golden Core, and others, all vanished within Lin Fei's Saber World. Not a trace remained; they were utterly extinguished. Even the sect's territory no longer bore any trace of the Three Immortal Caverns.

Such power thoroughly stunned numerous major forces across the Ancient Continent. No one dared to resist stubbornly any longer. Subsequently, the development of the Eternal Life Alliance went even smoother than Lin Fei had anticipated. Even if there were some slightly troublesome forces, the three god-level cultivators from the Observing Heaven Sect would step in to resolve those issues. Lin Fei himself didn't need to get involved.

In just three months, the entire Ancient Continent was essentially under the control of the Eternal Life Alliance. The Eternal Life Alliance had rapidly expanded, becoming a colossal entity. Of course, the current Eternal Life Alliance was diverse and fragmented. Only Lin Fei, who stood at the pinnacle, could completely suppress it. But Lin Fei didn't mind; as long as he achieved his goal.

"I've finally swept across the Ancient Continent, uniting it under my rule. Now, it's time to hold the Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony," Lin Fei murmured.

Lin Fei's true intentions were known only to Feng Ling and the Phoenix. Phoenix had also joined the Eternal Life Alliance and held the position of an elder.

The three god-level cultivators from the Observing Heaven Sect, upon joining the Eternal Life Alliance, learned that the Eternal Life Alliance wasn't just home to Lin Fei as the True Monarch. There was also a second True Monarch.

However, this second True Monarch appeared to be very unfamiliar. They seldom spoke and maintained a silent demeanor, making them even harder to approach than Lin Fei.

With Phoenix overseeing matters, regardless of how scattered and chaotic the Eternal Life Alliance was, it wouldn't collapse. This was sufficient assurance.

When Lin Fei conducted the Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony, it was not an ordinary ritual. It required numerous preparations, in essence, a display of sincerity. The Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony was a prayer to the heavens, and how could one perform it without sincerity?

Lin Fei had been preparing intermittently for about a month before everything was finally in order. In the Eternal Life Alliance, at the Altar of Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony, Lin Fei sat with Feng Ling by his side. Feng Ling held Lin Fei's hand with a hint of unease and asked, "Lin Fei, are you sure everything will be alright?"

Feng Ling also knew the reason behind Lin Fei holding the Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony. It was essentially a form of "prayer" to the Ancient Continent, hoping to gain insight into the grand Dao. To progress from a True Monarch to a Martial Ancestor and beyond required mastering a complete path. Feng Ling was well aware that Lin Fei was not far from achieving this.

This time, returning to the Ancient Continent, the most crucial matter was holding the Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony. The goal was to see if Lin Fei could master a complete Dao with the assistance of the Ancient Continent. However, the world had its own spirit, and no one knew what would happen when the Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony was performed. Even if there appeared to be no danger, it couldn't be guaranteed.

Lin Fei tightly gripped Feng Ling's hand and nodded gently, saying, "Don't worry; nothing will go wrong. I'll be cautious, and if any issues arise, I'll stop immediately."

"Alright, then be careful," Feng Ling finally let go of Lin Fei's hand.

With that, Lin Fei took one step after another until he stood on the Altar of Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony. At this moment, within the Eternal Life Alliance, countless eyes were focused on Lin Fei. Among the onlookers were god-level cultivators, Phoenix, and ordinary members. Everyone's gaze was fixed on Lin Fei.

After all, the Sky Ceremony represented not only the Eternal Life Alliance but also the entire Ancient Continent. In the event of any unexpected changes during the ceremony, the Eternal Life Alliance would halt it immediately.

Lin Fei swiftly stepped onto the high platform. In his hand, he held a Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony scripture that outlined his request, hoping to gain insight into the grand Dao of the world.

"Fire."

Flames erupted from Lin Fei's hand. In an instant, the Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony scripture was rapidly consumed by the roaring flames, turning into ashes.
