Chapter 78

Chapter 78

The ancestral land of divine weapons is the place where the national divine weapons are worshipped.

In the Central Plains, there are thirty-six national divine weapons, and naturally, there are thirty-six ancestral lands for divine weapons.

For the royal families of the thirty-six countries, sacrificing to the divine weapons is more important than worshipping ancestors or the previous emperors. (How sad :c)

Lin Yuan, making independent decisions in the Great Yan Dynasty, resisted the pressure from the court to delay the sacrifice to the divine weapons for fifty to sixty years.

Even so, the number of living sacrifices sent to the ancestral land every year has not decreased.

Lin Yuan turned a blind eye to this.

Things like the succession of the throne might not concern the divine weapons.

However, the matter of living sacrifices was crucial. If there was any reduction, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of the divine weapons.

At that time, the divine weapons would revive and actively seek sacrifices.

The consequences of this would be difficult for the Great Yan Dynasty to bear.

After all, once the divine weapons revived, the number of sacrifices they required would far exceed the dormant period.

Therefore

Until there was enough strength to suppress the divine weapons, maintaining the status quo to gain more time for improvement was the correct choice.

At least Lin Yuan could take the initiative and choose the right time to act.

For example, now.

This was an opportunity that Lin Yuan considered appropriate.

Taking advantage of the sacrifice, he could attract the divine weapons and strike when the opponent was 'feeding.'

"Divine weapons."

After Lin Yuan agreed to sacrifice to the divine weapons, the Minister of Rites and many other courtiers hurriedly prepared various rituals needed for the sacrifice.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan was contemplating the matter of the 'divine weapons'.

Since he had decided to make a move against the divine weapons, Lin Yuan was fully prepared.

By browsing the memories of many 'evil weapons', Lin Yuan had a deep understanding of the thirty-six divine weapons.

Ignoring their combat power for now, Lin Yuan was confident that he was not weaker than any of the divine weapons.

What Lin Yuan needed to be cautious about was the divine weapons' ultimate trump cardintegration with heaven and earth.

Whether divine weapons or evil weapons, they were essentially external manifestations of the essence of the rules of heaven and earth.

Since it was an external manifestation, when necessary, it could naturally be re-integrated.

The evil weapon's core was shattered and incomplete, so it couldn't return to heaven and earth.

However, divine weapons were different.

As long as the divine weapons were willing, they could completely integrate with heaven and earth.

In such a state, even if Lin Yuan was a hundred or a thousand times stronger, unless he could destroy heaven and earth, he would be helpless.

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, divine weapons would not choose to return to heaven and earth.

Because in doing so, the divine weapon's consciousness would be washed by the consciousness of heaven and earth.

In simple terms, it would be 'formatted'.

After thousands of years, even if it detached from heaven and earth again, the divine weapon would not be the same as the original one.

However.

Since Lin Yuan chose to make a move against the divine weapons.

He would definitely not watch the opponent return to heaven and earth.

One of Lin Yuan's main objectives in taking action was to suppress the divine weapons and comprehend the essence of the rules contained within them.

For decades, the essence of the rules within many evil weapon fragments had brought Lin Yuan significant help.

And that was just evil weapons, or rather, fragments of divine weapons.

If it were a complete divine weapon with the complete essence of the rules, how much help would it provide to Lin Yuan?

At least it could elevate him to the Fourth Rank.

Not an ordinary Fourth Rank.

But a Fourth Rank based on the essence of the rules.

Except for Lin Yuan.

Everyone respectfully left.

For a moment, in the vast and grand sacrificial altar, only Lin Yuan and the living sacrificial offerings kneeling at a distance remained.

The sacrificial offerings for this ritual were all death row criminals from various regions.

To ensure a smooth sacrifice, these criminals were already unconscious.

Lin Yuan stood still, quietly waiting for the divine weapons to appear.

At this moment, Lin Yuan restrained his aura, and even divine weapons would not perceive any abnormalities.

Otherwise, with Lin Yuan's physical strength and blood intensity, the Sun-Moon Spear would have gone berserk long ago, and it wouldn't be as calm as it is now.

Boom!

Under Lin Yuan's gaze, a divine dragon, stretching a hundred zhang and surrounded by sun and moon, slowly flew out.

"A dragon?"

Lin Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes.

It wasn't a dragon.

The so-called 'divine dragon' was just a phantom formed by the aura of the divine weapons.

Lin Yuan saw that at the core of the 'divine dragon' phantom, a hazy long spear hovered.

The divine weapon, Sun-Moon Spear.

Lin Yuan's expression became slightly serious.

This was not the first time he had seen a divine weapon.

While browsing memories of those 'evil weapons,' he had seen many divine weapons.

He had even witnessed scenes of the Sun-Moon Spear stabbing out many times.

However, the scenes were ultimately just images.

Compared to the current Sun-Moon Spear, it was like the glow of a firefly against the brilliance of the full moon.

"Whoosh!"

The Sun-Moon Spear trembled lightly.

The phantom of the hundred-zhang divine dragon opened its enormous mouth and sucked slightly towards the direction of the sacrificial offerings.

Instantly, a large amount of Qi, blood, vitality, and souls were drawn into the dragon's mouth.

"This time's sacrificial offerings are good."

The Sun-Moon Spear emitted a massive spiritual fluctuation, apparently slightly satisfied.

"Are you the new emperor?"

The Sun-Moon Spear, as if sensing something, emitted spiritual fluctuations again.

"Yes."

Lin Yuan nodded.

"Since that's the case."

The Sun-Moon Spear swayed.

An indescribable aura descended.

Each emperor, during the period of sacrificing to the divine weapons, would be marked with the imprint of the divine weapon.

It served as both intimidation and restriction.

Lin Yuan had not performed the Bone Refining and Marrow Cleansing technique for the former emperors he was concerned about this divine weapon imprint.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan immediately spoke up.

As Lin Yuan uttered the word 'wait', he lifted his right foot and took a step.

By the time Lin Yuan finished saying the word 'wait', his right foot landed. With the sacrificial altar as the center, the surrounding heaven and earth had already been isolated.
