Chapter 1181 – Master Cloud Soul is Lost
Wang Lin had his own plot going into this seven-colored crack, and it was bound to have conflict with Master Ashen Pine. Wang Lin could deal with a mid stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivator, and even against two he would be fine as long as the second one didn’t have a good relationship with Master Ashen Pine!
Wang Lin had secretly observed the boy named Duanmu. He was a ruthless person, and his relationship with Master Ashen Pine was merely for their own benefits.
As for Chen Tianjun, he didn’t have a very close relationship with Master Ashen Pine. He must’ve had his own plans.
The only ones that had a close relationship with Master Ashen Pine were two people. The first was the old man named Pang, and the other was Master Cloud Soul!
According to Wang Lin’s analysis, it was due to Master Cloud Soul that Master Ashen Pine could calmly invite everyone. After all, with the two of them working together and the old man named Pang on their side, that team was already invincible among them!
Therefore, destroying Master Cloud Soul would be equal to breaking one of Master Ashen Pine’s arm! Master Cloud Soul had ill intent and had been observing him this whole time. Wang Lin decided to attack first and not give them a chance to join forces!
Right now was the best chance to attack!
“Mid stage Nirvana Shatterer!” Thinking about how he was going to battle a mid stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivator, Wang Lin felt excited. With the iron sword in his hand, he mercilessly slashed down!
The power of a Pseudo Nirvana Void Treasure was heaven-shaking. At this moment, a monstrous ray of sword energy shot at Master Cloud Soul!
Master Cloud Soul’s expression changed. He was not far from Wang Lin and was very close to the seven-colored crack. He had no time to think as the sword energy closed in instantly. Master Cloud Soul let out a roar and his hands formed a seal. The soul flame behind him flew out to confront Wang Lin’s sword energy!
The soul flame shot at Wang Lin and collided with the sword energy. A thunderous rumble echoed and the soul flame collapsed. It wasn’t able to stop the sword energy from piercing through at all.
At this moment of crisis, Master Cloud Soul’s eyes widened in anger. At the moment it closed in, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a gush of essence blood. This blood turned into a skull that devoured the ray of sword energy.
There was a heaven-shaking bang as Master Cloud Soul’s body trembled and his face turned pale. His eyes were filled with shock, but he was, after all, a mid stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivator, so Wang Lin’s sword energy wasn’t able to seriously injure him. The impact knocked Wang Lin back a few steps and he was about to disappear into the crack.
“You’re looking for death, Junior!” Master Cloud Soul let out a roar and rushed forward. He was very fast and closed in on Wang Lin in an instant.
Wang Lin didn’t have time to let the iron sword use its full attack. There was a cold flash in his eyes. This wasn’t outside his expectations; a mid stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivator wasn’t easy to kill. His purpose was to injure him! It was all preparation for what will happen next!
Wang Lin retreated and was about to completely enter the crack. Master Cloud Soul closed in and was half a foot into the crack. He lifted his hand and was about to use a spell, but at this moment, Wang Lin revealed a smile that wasn’t a smile. He opened his mouth and shouted, “Stop!”
The celestial origin energy inside his body surged like crazy and turned into the Stop spell that surrounded Master Cloud Soul. In the blink of an eye, Master Cloud Soul’s body paused!
With his cultivation level, he only needed a moment to break the invisible silk threads formed by the Stop spell, but it was enough. Just as Wang Lin entered the crack, a ray of sword energy shot out at Master Cloud Soul’s head. A punch filled with ancient god power also shot out at him.
The ray of sword energy closed in. Master Cloud Soul broke free from the Stop spell in time to dodge, but he let out a miserable groan and blood gushed out from his right arm. The sword energy had chopped off his right arm!
At this moment, the ancient god punch arrived. Although Master Cloud Soul blocked it with his spell, it caused his body to move to the side by large amount.
Fear appeared in his eyes. You couldn’t just arbitrarily move while being transferred through the crack. If you did, you would immediately be teleported to another location when crossing between the two realms!
Wang Lin had passed through many spatial cracks. Although he hadn’t entered the seven-colored crack before, he concluded that all cracks between two realms were like this. This seven-colored crack also wasn’t stable, so he was even more certain!
His purpose wasn’t to attempt to kill a mid stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivator. Instead, it was to injure Master Cloud Soul and change his transfer location the moment he entered the crack!
All of this happened in a flash; it was unimaginably fast. At the moment he entered the crack, Wang Lin’s vision blurred and his origin soul suffered the severe backlash from using the Stop spell, but he suppressed it by force. When he regained his vision, he appeared in a strange world.
There was a sky and earth here, but the sky gave off a seven-colored glow. Even the earth was seven-colored due to this light. However, this world wasn’t clear but shrouded in fog. Only a few places didn’t have fog.
Wang Lin didn’t look at the scene too closely. His eyes lit up and he looked around at the people who had teleported here. Master Cloud Soul was not here! Seeing this, Wang Lin relaxed a bit. He had made a gamble, and now he knew he had won his bet! What he did was extremely dangerous. Master Cloud Soul wasn’t prepared, so his spell got interrupted by the Stop spell. If that spell had shot out, things wouldn’t have ended so quickly.
Everyone was on an alter-like place that was only 1,000 feet wide. The old man named Pang looked around and recalled the past. This was his third time here. The first time they came, many of their friends died. The second time, more of them died. Today, including himself, there were only three of them left.
The eyes of the boy named Duanmu looked at the fog ahead as he licked his lips and muttered, “That fog is not star fog…”
The Battle Beast Sect’s Chen Tianjun got very excited after arriving here. He took a few deep breaths and his eyes revealed a strange light.
Only the old woman in green frowned slightly. No one knew what she was thinking about.
Master Ashen Pine’s expression was excited, but his gaze immediately became serious. He looked at Wang Lin and said, “Fellow Cultivator Lu, where is Master Cloud Soul?”
Wang Lin’s expression was calm and frowned. “How would I know where he went?”
“Master Cloud Soul was behind you, and the two of you were the last ones to enter. Did an accident happen outside?” Master Ashen Pine frowned. The good mood he had from returning here disappeared with Master Cloud Soul’s disappearance, and he had a bad feeling.
Wang Lin calmly said, “I don’t know if any accident happened outside, but when I entered the crack, there was no accident.”
The old man named Pang stared at Wang Lin and slowly said, “Fellow Cultivator Lu, I noticed before that Fellow Cultivator Cloud Soul was not far away from you. There is no reason for you have entered but him to go missing!”
Master Ashen Pine’s expression was gloomy as he looked at Wang Lin. His heart was already extremely angry.
The words between the three of them aroused the attention of the rest of the cultivators. The boy named Duanmu smiled and said, “Interesting. We can even lose a person by entering a crack!”
The old woman in green looked at Wang Lin but didn’t speak.
Chen Tianjun frowned. He ignored all of this while he looked at the fog in the distance. There was a hint of feverish excitement in his eyes.
“Fellow Cultivator Pang should be careful with his words. If you say things so thoughtlessly, you might invite dire misfortune!” Wang Lin sneered and looked at the old man named Pang.
The old man named Pang trembled. He thought about Wu Qing’s death and regretted saying so much. He then looked at Master Ashen Pine.
“Fellow Cultivator Lu, please give me an explanation!” Master Ashen Pine stared at Wang Lin. He knew that Master Cloud Soul had been watching this youth in white. Now that he was missing, this person was the prime suspect!
“What a joke!” Wang Lin laughed in anger. He looked indifferently at Master Ashen Pine and sneered. “Master Cloud Soul is at the mid stage of Nirvana Shatterer, and I’m not his match. Fellow Cultivator Ashen Pine wants an explanation from me, but that is something I’m unable to give!
“Master Cloud Soul has legs and a brain; why would he report to me where he is going? Ridiculous! If you want a reason to battle, then I’ll accompany you to the end!” A cold light flashed through Wang Lin’s eyes and his words were sharp.
The boy named Duanmu looked at Wang Lin and said to Master Ashen Pine in a sharp voice, “Interesting. However, Master Ashen Pine, Fellow Cultivator Lu’s words are very reasonable. Master Cloud Soul has legs and a brain; maybe he didn’t want to come in or he didn’t want to be with us and went to another place.”
Master Ashen Pine frowned tightly. He had doubts in his heart as well. With Master Cloud Soul’s cultivation level, unless this person named Lu was hiding a much higher cultivation level, there was no way Master Cloud Soul would be killed in such a short period of time!
His gaze swept past Wang Lin. Master Ashen Pine denied the idea that Master Cloud Soul was killed, especially when he considered that Master Cloud Soul was like himself, who was very familiar with this place. They had both entered twice already…
“Could it be… Could it be that Master Cloud Soul found another method of entry and used a special method to teleport away? Although this is possible, it could also be possible that this Lu cultivator fought Master Cloud Soul and caused him to be teleported to another place. But if this were true, how did this one named Lu safely teleport here…”
Master Ashen Pine had uncertainty in his heart, but he could only suppress it. He looked at Wang Lin and clasped his hands. “It was me who was reckless on this matter. I hope Fellow Cultivator Lu won’t mind.”
Wang Lin let out a cold snort. He then clasped his hands but didn’t speak.
At this moment, in a valley filled with dense fog inside this seven-colored world, Master Cloud Soul sat there with a pale face, nervously looking around. There were no more blood flowing out from his right arm, but there were fear hidden behind his expression.
“Damn it. I was transported here!” His heart trembled as he licked his dry lips. He looked at the dense fog at the mouth of the valley.
There were faint roars coming from the dense fog along with a fishy smell…
Chapter 1182 – Seven-Colored Realm
The matter about Master Cloud Soul was put aside and was no longer mentioned. The old man named Pang complained in his heart and was on guard because he had just offended Wang Lin. Thinking about Wang Lin’s cold gaze, he couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Master Ashen Pine said with a serious tone, “Don’t spread out your divine sense too far, or else you will attract the fierce beasts here. Although this is only the outer region, there are rank 12 fog beasts here. Also, don’t fly higher than 1,000 feet!”
Wang Lin looked at the seven-colored light in the sky and pondered. This seven-colored light was very strange and gave him a strange feeling. It seemed to contain an incomprehensible change in law.
“What the hell is this place?” The person that asked was the Battle Beast Sect’s Chen Tianjun.
Master Ashen Pine looked head and slowly said, “The Seven Colored Realm. This is what I call it.”
“The outer region of this place is filled with fog beasts. This is where all my origin crystals come from. I have come here a few times, but I’m unable to enter the center region.
“There are some remains of ancient people there. According to my observations, there are celestials and some very strange people.” He pointed ahead as he slowly spoke.
“Fellow cultivators, please follow me and don’t leave. This place is very dangerous; if you’re not careful, you might die here.” With that, he walked down the altar and walked ahead.
Everyone followed closely after Master Ashen Pine and slowly moved forward. Master Ashen Pine was serious the whole way and followed the fixed route off the alter into the plain. They eventually arrived within the fog-filled mountains.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he looked around. There were no trees here, only bare mountains. The different types of fog existed in their own separate groups and didn’t interfere with each other.
Just at this moment, Chen Tianjun suddenly stopped and looked at a mountain not far away. A stone cave could vaguely be seen halfway up the mountain.
This cave was obviously not natural. At a glance, it was obvious it was made by someone to be used as a cultivation cave.
“There is indeed a cave there. but there are rank 12 beasts guarding it. The last time I came, I lured them away and went inside. I did obtain some stuff,” Master Ashen Pine quietly said as he looked at Chen Tianjun. Then he continued to walk forward.
Chen Tianjun withdrew his gaze and looked at Master Ashen Pine in front. No one knew what he was thinking.
As everyone moved forward, the path got narrower. Master Ashen Pine was very familiar with this place. When there was no road ahead, he would change directions and another road would appear.
Time slowly passed. As everyone went deeper, they felt a sense of majesty. This feeling became stronger, and when it descended on them, it even made their minds tremble.
Master Ashen Pine’s expression became more serious and he slowed down. He would have to think for a long time after every step as if he was recalling the route.
Wang Lin was silent the whole way, but his eyes shined brightly. He had already noticed that there were numerous restrictions here. However, most of them were too old and had mostly collapsed, but there were still some that were operational.
What shocked Wang Lin was the power of these restrictions. These restrictions were even stronger than the ones in Celestial Emperor Qing Lin’s cave. If it wasn’t for the fact that they had collapsed, it would’ve been impossible to reach this point.
Looking back at where they passed through, they had already travelled more than five kilometers. They hadn’t crossed the mountain range ahead of them yet, and it was impossible to know what was beyond the mountains.
In this seven-colored realm, there was no night; the seven-colored light filled the sky.
Master Ashen Pine moved slower and slower before he finally stopped. He rubbed his temples and said, “Fellow Cultivator Duanmu, the reincarnation pill is not far ahead. However, there is a rank 12 fierce beast there, so if you want it, there might be some trouble.”
There was a narrow road before Master Ashen Pine, and the side of the mountains looked grim. Sometimes, a few stones would tumble down and make some noise.
Aside from that, the surroundings were completely silent.
There was a faint mist blocking the narrow road, and on the edge of the fog you could see a skeleton on the side. Almost all of its clothes had dissipated; only a few strands of cloth were still wrapped around the skeleton.
The flesh on the skeleton had completely decayed and the pelvic bone could clearly be seen. There was a seven-colored pill inside it. This pill wasn’t complete and had subtle cracks. Some of it had even melted, so it was no longer shaped like a pill, but a crescent shape.
This was a pill that was devoured by someone, but that person died before they could completely absorb the pill! Although countless years had passed, the pill still emitted a faint fragrance, only now it was very light.
Smelling the fragrance, Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed. This fragrance was very strange. When it entered his nose, it made his origin soul tremble. His mind began recalling the past and scenes of the past uncontrollably appeared before his eyes.
Fortunately, Wang Lin was also vigilant. He bit the tip of his tongue and his eyes suddenly cleared up. He was secretly startled! He looked at everyone else. That old man named Pang had already sealed his five senses; it was obvious he already knew that this place was strange.
As for the old woman in green, she was confused for a moment but soon recovered. The Battle Beast Sect’s Chen Tianjun quickly recovered.
“What a powerful pill!”
“It indeed is the reincarnation pill!” The boy named Duanmu took a deep breath and was indulging in the fragrance.
“Fellow Cultivator Duanmu cultivates the reincarnation cycle of the sun and moon. What he need to comprehend is his reincarnation. He must complete the reincarnation cycle nine times to complete his dao. However, the heavens are ruthless, so it is very difficult to succeed. Rumor has it that there was a reincarnation pill in the ancient cultivation world that allowed one to enter the reincarnation cycle to comprehend dao. However, the reincarnation pill is long lost, and only part of the recipe exists. It is impossible to refine a reincarnation pill; we can only condense some reincarnation energy!” Master Ashen Pine slowly explained.
The boy named Duanmu’s eyes lit up and he stared at Master Ashen Pine. He said with a sharp voice, “Fellow Cultivator Ashen Pine sure knows a lot. I presume you made adequate preparations when you came to find me.”
Master Ashen Pine smiled but didn’t speak.
“If it wasn’t for what’s in the fog next to the skeleton, you wouldn’t have been so as to kind to invite me.” The boy named Duanmu looked at the fog.
“That is indeed true. Fellow Cultivator Duanmu’s reincarnation dao will be very useful to us for the rest of the trip. We will help you obtain this pill and you will open the road the rest of the way.” Master Ashen Pine was calm as he frankly admitted it.
“OK!” The boy pondered for a bit as he looked at the reincarnation pill in the skeleton, then his expression became serious.
Master Ashen Pine said with a serious voice, “This is a rank 12 dragon, which is equal to a peak Nirvana Shatterer cultivator. But a fierce beast is still a fierce beast. As long as we cooperate well, and along with Fellow Cultivator Duanmu’s reincarnation spell, it’s not impossible!”
Chen Tianjun licked his lips. “I want this dragon’s soul!”
The old woman in green said, “The body of this dragon belongs to me!”
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he slowly said, “I want all the origin crystals in the fog!” After the three of them finished speaking, their gazes fell on Master Ashen Pine.
Master Ashen Pine laughed. “That’s fine. Fellow Cultivator Pang and I don’t want these things. We just want to pass here.”
A cold light flashed in the eyes in the boy and he took a deep breath. His hands formed a seal before him and his hair moved without any wind. His eyes lit up and the sun and moon appeared in one each respectively. Then he let out a roar as his left hand pointed to between his eyebrows and his right hand pointed ahead.
His eyes shined brightly and the sun and moon marks in his eyes became even more clear. Everyone around him suddenly felt like their minds were being sucked into an illusion.
Wang Lin looked at the boy and was completely calm.
The moment the sun and moon marks appeared, they began to rotate around each other to form a vortex. It charged directly at the fog!
It was too fast and instantly closed on the fog. Popping sounds echoed as it charged into the fog. At this moment, the fog began to churn violently and a roar came out. This roar was earth-shattering, and the mountains on the sides began to tremble and rocks fell off.
At the same time, a large dragon head charged out it. A fishy-smelling wind swept by as it charged toward everyone.
If this was it, it would be fine, but the moment the dragon’s head appeared, the pressure of a peak Nirvana Shatterer cultivator also appeared. This caused everyone’s minds to tremble for a instant.
The boy named Duanmu let out a roar and a sun and moon suddenly appeared before the head of the dragon that was charging at everyone. The sun and moon rotated like crazy, and the vortex they formed was pulling the dragon’s head.
“My reincarnation spell can only affect it for 10 breaths of time. You all have to hurry!!” The boy’s expression was ferocious and the veins on his forehead were swelling. He sat down, waved his right hand, and the seven foot flying sword appeared. It turned into a ray of sword energy and shot directly at the dragon.
Chen Tianjun took a step forward as his hands formed a seal and a ghostly light shined around him. He immediately arrived next to the dragon, and in a flash he arrived on top of the dragon’s head. He sat down and formed another seal. The ghostly light around him intensified and he unexpectedly entered the dragon’s body.
Master Ashen Pine waved his hand and tens of thousands of swords appeared. They all fell like a rain of swords on the dragon. The old woman in green’s right hand formed a seal and a cold wind blew by. There were crackling sounds as ice appeared in the narrow path and spread toward the dragon.
The old man named Pang wasn’t idle. He jumped into the air and waved his hand, causing lightning to appear. Balls of lightning descended from the sky.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he immediately got near the dragon. His right hand formed a fist and his punch landed on the dragon’s giant body.
A thunderous rumble echoed. It was the dragon roaring in anger as it tried to break through the body’s reincarnation seal.
Chapter 1183 – Don’t Move
Just at this moment, the boy’s flying sword arrived with a shaking sword energy. It broke through the dragon’s flesh and pierced through. Immediately after, the old man’s lightning descended, making the dragon roar even more intensely. The more it struggled, the more pale the face of the boy became, and his body began trembling.
The boy shouted, “Five more breaths of time!”
Master Ashen Pine’s hand quickly formed different seals as the tens of thousands of swords closed in and landed on the dragon. The dragon let out a roar and struggled, causing the boy to cough out blood. The veins on his body were all swelling and his eyes were bloodshot.
The old woman in green’s ice closed in and touched the dragon. The dragon trembled and frost immediately appeared. Soon, ice covered the entire dragon.
Strands of black gas started to come out of the dragon and got absorbed by the ice. This scene caused everyone to look at the old woman. Wang Lin naturally saw what was strange about the ice–it was able to absorb the dragon’s vitality.
The dragon suddenly raised its head and let out a roar. The boy coughed out blood and could no longer seal it.
Without the reincarnation seal, the dragon roared. There was a single horn on its head, and as it moved, its body came out of the fog. As it came out, the amount of fog decreased.
After the seal disappeared, the dragon moved and all the ice around it immediately collapsed. When the ice flew back next to the old woman in green, strands of black gas entered her body, and her eyes became even brighter.
“These old monsters are still hiding their spells. It is interesting!” Wang Lin sneered as he flew above the head of the dragon that was rising. He charged toward the thinning fog.
Once the dragon turned solid from its fog form, all the origin crystals would dissipate and become part of its body’s origin energy.
“I’ll only do as much work as I’m paid to do. There is no need for me to try so desperately just for these origin crystals.” Wang Lin ignored the fight and charged into the fog. The moment he entered, he saw large amounts of origin crystals floating there, and some were still forming.
He waved his arms and took hundreds of origin crystals. This method of collecting origin crystals made Wang Lin very happy. He moved through the fog like lightning and gathered the origin crystals that had formed over countless years.
Wang Lin could still hear the roar of the dragon and the rumbles of the battle outside. Wang Lin quickly gathered thousands of origin crystal. In truth, it was not possible for rank 12 fog beasts to generate this many origin crystals. After all, the cultivators that were raising these fog beasts would come to collect them every now and then.
However, in this seven-colored realm, no one would come to steal the origin crystals from the fog beast. After countless years, this many origin crystals had gathered.
It didn’t take long for Wang Lin to notice the fog around him begin to churn more violently and show signs of condensing. It was also moving toward one direction as it contracted.
After calculating the amount of origin crystals, Wang Lin decisively gave up gathering more and moved to the side. As he moved, the fog began to condense even faster.
In a moment, all the fog disappeared and was replaced with the dragon’s tail. The dragon was about 10,000 feet tall and half of its body was in the air. This section of tail flew up with the body.
The old man named Pang had a pale face as he leaned against the side of the mountain, and his chest was a bloody mess. Master Ashen Pine, the old woman in green, and the boy were fighting above the dragon’s head. They were all using spells to prevent the dragon from rising.
The black horn on the dragon’s head released a black light, and every time it flashed, Master Ashen Pine and company had to dodge. The dragon spat out a fishy-smelling poison fog that was very difficult to deal with. However, it was also seriously injured as blood flowed out from the wounds on its body and dripped down its scales.
Just at this moment, the dragon let out a heaven-shaking roar that made the surrounding mountains tremble and some rocks to fall down. Shortly after, the black horn on the dragon gave off a blinding light and a black lightning net spread out. At the same time, endless origin energy gathered and even some of the seven-colored light was absorbed.
Roar!
The dragon let out a roar that caused everyone’s minds to tremble. As the dragon roared, the black lightning net increased in size by 1,000 feet. As the origin energy and seven-colored light was absorbed, illusions began to appear around the dragon.
This illusionary shadows were all dragons. As they circled the area, Master Ashen Pine and company were forced to retreat.
The dragon was about to rise into the air. Once it flew up into the air, it would be a disaster for the cultivators that couldn’t fly too high into the air.
Just at this moment, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he looked at the dragon’s tail. He took a step forward and popping sounds came from his arms. The power of an ancient god surged through his arms as he jumped up and grabbed the dragon’s tail. The veins on Wang Lin’s arms swelled.
“Come down for me!”
Wang Lin’s hands mercilessly held the dragon’s tail and mercilessly pulled it down. This scene shocked all those who were dodging the dragon’s spells!
The eyes of the old man named Pang leaning on the side of the road widened. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
All of Wang Lin’s ancient god power surged in his body as the dragon struggled. The dragon turned its head and charged at Wang Lin. Spells circled the dragon’s body.
However, its struggle just made Wang Lin’s ancient god power surge even faster.
“Come down!” He let out a heaven-shaking roar that was like the voice of the god. Wang Lin’s hand held the tail and mercilessly smashed the dragon’s body down on the narrow path while all the other cultivators watched in shock.
Although this dragon had a 10,000-foot-long body, had peak Nirvana Shatterer cultivator, had a body that was strong enough to resist most spells, and a body that was far stronger than that of any body refining cultivator, it was nothing before Wang Lin!
Even if it shed its skin and became a true dragon, it still wouldn’t be able to rise into the sky before an ancient god!
As Wang Lin swung down, the dragon wasn’t able to struggle at all, and it let out a roar. Its body immediately came crashing down. The old man named Pang felt the sky darken. His mind was shocked and he quickly retreated like crazy. He was worried that if he was too slow and the dragon smashed onto his body, his body would immediately collapse, given his cultivation level.
A thunderous rumble echoed across the sky when the giant dragon smashed into the ground. Large amounts of rocks fell off the mountains on both sides, and it took a while for everythin to return to normal.
After the dragon fell on the ground, its body twitched, its head began to melt, and black gas came out. Chen Tianjun flew out from the head and took a few steps back.
Master Ashen Pine sucked in a breath of cold air. He stared at the dragon and then at Wang Lin, and a chill appeared in his heart.
Even the boy licked his lips. There was a hint of dread in his gaze toward Wang Lin.
The old woman in green also gasped and silently pondered.
The one with the most fear in his heart was the old man named Pang, who had managed to avoid the dragon. When he thought about Wang Lin’s threat, he felt bitterness in his mouth.
Wang Lin’s breathing was a bit rough and he looked at everyone before his gaze landed on the skeleton not far away. He walked over and looked down to find a jade under the skeleton.
His right hand reached at the void and then the jade and pill landed in his hand. He threw the pill at the boy. The boy caught it and clasped his hands at Wang Lin.
“Many thanks!
Holding the jade, Wang Lin sat down against the mountain. His divine sense swept inside jade and he began to carefully read the contents.
Master Ashen Pine arrived next to the old man named Pang. His right hand patted the old man’s back and he handed over some pills before sitting down. He would occasionally look at Wang Lin with a mysterious light in his eyes.
The boy held the reincarnation pill and revealed a look of excitement before putting it away. This was not the time to consume it. He took a deep breath and sat down to heal.
Chen Tianjun also sat down. During this battle, everyone was outside, but he was inside and was indispensable. If there was no one outside, he wouldn’t have been able to obtain the dragon’s soul.
Although he wasn’t able to absorb it all, he had the best harvest out of everyone present.
As for the old woman in green, she arrived next to the dragon’s corpse. She placed her hand on the dragon and black gas came out from the dragon’s body and entered hers.
After resting for a few hours, Master Ashen Pine looked at everyone and slowly said, “There are many rank 12 fog beasts here; however, the greater the danger, the bigger our harvest.”
At this moment, only bones remained of the dragon corpse next to the old woman. The old woman’s face turned red and she unexpectedly became a bit younger.
The old man named Pang had recovered a lot. He stood up and looked at the narrow path without any fog. His eyes lit up.
Master Ashen Pine got up and walked forward. “Everyone, let’s go.”
The old woman in green and Chen Tianjun got up at the same time. Only the boy hesitated for a bit before also standing up.
Wang Lin was sitting the farthest away from everyone and watched them walk over as he held the jade. There was something recorded in this jade… Something related to the seven-colored realm.
“This place is…” Wang Lin’s train of thought was broken as he suddenly looked behind everyone. His pupils shrank and all the hair on his body stood up!
At the same time, Master Ashen Pine and the boy suddenly stopped. Immediately after, the old woman and Chen Tianjun also noticed. The old man named Pang was the last person to notice.
Master Ashen Pine’s eyes became filled with fear as he quickly sent out a divine sense message. “No matter what, don’t move!”
Chapter 1184 – Await the Path of Cultivation
The old man named Pang gasped, and he was filled with fear. When he felt the chill, he didn’t even dare to spread out his divine sense, but he was very familiar with this chill.
He could still not forget that it was because they encountered this thing that half the cultivators that came with them the second time disappeared. Before this mysterious presence, they were like mortals and couldn’t resist at all.
Aside from Wang Lin, due to his location, allowing him to clearly see the situation, no one else could see.
“Remember not to spread out your divine sense!” Master Ashen Pine sent out the last divine sense message and no longer sent anymore. His body was motionless and even his eyes were closed.
In Wang Lin’s eyes, a person appeared behind everyone.
This person was wearing grey, but the lower half of his body under the clothes was transparent, allowing you to see the flesh and blood. He had no hair and his eyes were lifeless as he slowly walked over.
He wasn’t very fast, and it took a long time for him to arrive next to the dragon’s corpse. He didn’t seem to do anything, but the dragon immediately rotted into a pool of blood. What was strange was that this pool of blood entered this person’s body.
The person in grey still had lifeless eyes as he slowly walked forward.
The boy named Duanmu was last among them, and he was motionless, but he frowned. He clearly felt the chill get closer and closer before he saw the person in grey pass by. There was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
However, just at this moment, the person in grey stopped and turned his head toward Duanmu.
Their gazes met and the boy’s mind trembled. His mind went blank and confusion appeared in his eyes. The sun and moon appeared above his head and began to rotate. They turned into a vortex that was like the reincarnation cycle of the sun and moon.
This sun and moon reincarnation cycle was the essence of Duanmu. There were a lot of runes that represented his spells.
However, at this moment, what made Wang Lin’s mind tremble was that the sun and moon reincarnation cycle strangely moved toward the man in grey. It gradually separated from the boy and merged with the man in grey.
The confusion in the boy’s eyes disappeared and was replaced with death. There wasn’t a trace of vitality left in him.
Then the man in grey turned around and walked forward.
The boy named Duanmu lifted his feet and slowly followed the man in gray, walking at the same pace as him.
This strange scene shocked everyone. The old woman in green didn’t even blink and remained motionless. Before her, Chen Tianjun was the same; there weren’t any fluctuations to his emotions at all.
The man in grey silently walked past everyone, and the boy followed. His hair gradually fell off onto the ground.
The body under the clothes gradually turned transparent.
It didn’t take long for the man in grey to arrive before Wang Lin. Wang Lin remained motionless and was completely focused. The man in gray didn’t pause and walked past Wang Lin with the boy following behind. The two of them gradually disappeared into the distance.
The surrounding chill slowly dissipated until it was completely gone.
Master Ashen Pine’s body trembled and he let out a deep breath. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead and he wiped it away. The three people behind him also relaxed, and shock filled their eyes.
Chen Tianhou’s mind trembled as he whispered, “He… Who is he?”
There was still fear in Master Ashen Pine’s eyes as he answered in a hoarse voice, “The Lost One.”
“Master Ashen Pine, what the hell is this place!?” The old woman in green had an ugly expression as she stared at Master Ashen Pine. She was right beside the boy, so she experienced what had happened very clearly.
“Fellow Cultivator Duanmu didn’t listen to the advice, alas.” The old man named Pang still had lingering fear in his eyes and shook his head.
“I don’t know what this place is. I call this place the Seven-Colored Realm! That grey-robed man is called the Lost One, that I’m sure of.
“In the seven-colored world, there aren’t many Lost Ones. If they appear, as long as you don’t spread out your divine sense and don’t move, there is no danger. If you move, then you will end up like Fellow Cultivator Duanmu!” Master Ashen Pine said in a serious tone.
Wang Lin stood up. He looked at Master Ashen Pine and calmly said, “There originally weren’t many Lost Ones here, but after you came, the number increased.”
The old woman in green sneered but didn’t speak.
Chen Tianjun’s expression was gloomy as he stared at Master Ashen Pine and slowly said, “Fellow Cultivator Ashen Pine, you have already come here twice. Did you leave a few people to become new Lost Ones each time?”
Master Ashen Pine’s expression was bleak and he was silent for a long time. Then he nodded and bitterly said, “That grey-robed man just now was a friend that came with me the first time. He was taken away by a Lost One.”
Chen Tianjun let out a cold snort and said, “Coming here was a mistake. I quit!” As he spoke the turned around and went back where they came. He disappeared without a trace.
Master Ashen Pine didn’t stop. After Chen Tianjun left, he slowly said, “Without me leading the way, he won’t be able to go back. I didn’t think we would encounter a Lost One so soon. Fellow Cultivator Lu and Zhao, I know of a cultivation cave between the inner and outer regions of this Seven- Colored Realm.
“You all know the owner of that cave. It was the head disciple of the Heaven Breaking Sect from 18,000 years ago, Sima Mo!”
The old woman in green’s expression remained the same, as if she hadn’t heard him.
Wang Lin silently pondered. He looked at Master Ashen Pine, waiting for the rest.
“Ignoring how powerful Sima Mo was, he was also good at alchemy. He took the pill recipe that caused a calamity and left. Although I don’t know how that pill recipe appeared in the rank 5 region, I’m certain that Sima Mo’s cave indeed exists.
“As for whether he successfully refined that pill, I don’t know, but even without it, there must be a lot of treasures there.” When he finished speaking, he took out a jade and threw it at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin caught it and checked it with his divine sense before passing it to the old woman in green.
“I found this jade here before, and that’s why I’m so sure,” Master Ashen Pine said calmly. However, after seeing that their expressions still hadn’t changed and they hadn’t agreed to continue exploring, he frowned.
“Fellow Cultivator Zhao, from now on, I and Fellow Cultivator Pang will give you all our shares of the fierce beasts we kill. Also, I promise you get to pick 10 things first from that place I told you about before.”
The old woman in green hesitated and asked, “How confident are you in entering that place?”
Master Ashen Pine pondered a bit and said, “If you and Fellow Cultivator Lu help, I’m 60% confident.”
“OK!” The old woman in green closed her eyes for a moment and then nodded.
Master Ashen Pine looked at Wang Lin and said, “The place I and Fellow Cultivator Zhao were talking about is in inner part of this Seven-Colored World. Although it is dangerous, the harvest will be greater. According to the clues I found, there are many souls of rank 8 to 13 beasts sealed here. I have prepared enough herbs so that as long as there is enough time, I can produce a large amount of pills. If Fellow Cultivator Lu agrees, you can pick 10 first as well.”
Wang Lin silently pondered. In his mind, there was no way Master Ashen Pine’s goal was so simple, and given his cunning, there was no way he would expose his purpose.
Master Ashen said, “Fellow Cultivator Lu, I can take you to a few safe places with fog beasts and gather all the origin crystals there. Also, I won’t take a single thing from Sima Mo’s cave.”
“Let’s take the origin crystals first.” Wang Lin looked at Master Ashen Pine.
“OK!” Master Ashen didn’t say anymore and looked around. He didn’t continue down the narrow passage but charged directions. The three of them charged off into the distance.
Master Ashen Pine was very familiar with his place. After one hour, he arrived at another place filled with fog. This was an abyss shrouded in fog.
After entering this place, Master Ashen Pine was very careful and slowly moved forward. When he was 1,000 feet from the fog, he stopped. His right hand reached out and a large amount of celestial jades flew out and circled him. Then he closed his hand and all the celestial jades turned to dust.
He took a deep breath and carefully waved that dust toward the fog.
Just at this moment, a roar came from the fog and a turtle-like beast peeked out its head. It sucked in the celestial jade dust.
Master Ashen Pine took out more celestial jades, which he crushed into dust, and softly said, “Fellow Cultivator Pang.”
The old man named Pang had cooperated with Master Ashen Pine many times, and he skillfully rushed into the fog. The turtle fog beast looked back and hesitated, but at this moment, more celestial jade dust flew over. The beast immediately devoured it.
When Wang Lin saw this, his eyes shined, but he remained calm. Shortly after, the old man named Pang rushed back out from the fog and returned to everyone’s side. Master Ashen Pine scattered more celestial jade dust and slowly retreated.
It wasn’t until he retreated out more than 10,000 feet that he stopped scattering celestial jade dust.
“How many?” Master Ashen Pine looked at the old man named Pang.
“Less than 3,000.” The old man named Pang didn’t hesitate to hand a bag of holding to Wang Lin.
“Some rank 12 fog beasts like to devour celestial jades. You can use celestial jades to get some origin crystals.” After Master Ashen Pine spoke, he led everyone to a number of fog beasts.
Using the same method, they confused more fierce beasts and got nearly 20,000 origin crystals in return. Master Ashen Pine stopped and returned to that narrow road.
“On the way back, I’ll get more origin crystals for Fellow Cultivator Lu on a different path. Based on the past, there should be about 60,000-70,000 origin crystals in total.”
“Enlighten, prisoner of the dao of heaven, all sentient beings must endure immeasurable calamities. It only takes a thought to leave the deep prison. Await the path of cultivation…” The information from the jade next to the skeleton echoed in Wang Lin’s mind. He looked at the seven-colored world and silently nodded.
Chapter 1185 – Nine Step Heaven-Sealing Formation
There was only one line on this jade. Wang Lin pondered for a long time but still didn’t fully understand the meaning of it. Just based on the words, there were many interpretations.
His gaze swept past Master Ashen Pine. Wang Lin knew that Master Ashen Pine had been here several times and had explored a lot of caves here. Master Ashen Pine must have obtained some rare treasures, cultivation methods, or information here.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so familiar with this place.
They continued down the narrow mountain path with Master Ashen Pine carefully walking in front. He only had a simple map of the area past this point and hadn’t actually gone down this path before. Previously, he took another path, and it was there that he obtained a jade and map containing the information that tempted him.
They went down the narrow road for several days. After avoiding various fog beasts, they arrived deep within the mountain range. There was one more mountain before them, and after passing here, they would see what was behind the mountain.
The old woman in green was calm and didn’t look to the side, as if she was a monk. Wang Lin had looked at her several times, but he wasn’t able to see through her thoughts.
Wang Lin only knew that this old woman in green was named Zhao and nothing else. However, he noticed along the way that although she was following Master Ashen Pine, each of her steps was intricate.
There were many restrictions here, but most of them had already collapsed. However, this old woman always stepped on an empty spot or where the restrictions were weak.
This was a habit, and it wouldn’t change just because the restriction had lost power. It was hard to notice something so subtle unless you were a restriction grandmaster.
The old man named Pang followed closely after Master Ashen Pine and didn’t dare to be too close to Wang Lin. He obviously dreaded Wang Lin a lot.
At this moment, there was no road left before them. Master Ashen Pine’s brows were knit tightly and he pondered.
The seven-colored light still covered the sky, making it impossible to tell if it was night or day. Fluctuations of origin energy came from the sky, catching everyone’s attention.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he looked into the distance. He could see that there was fog churning in the sky a few mountains back. The origin energy fluctuations were coming from there. There was also a feeling of a power that could shake the soul.
Master Ashen Pine looked at the distance and coldly said, “It’s Chen Tianjun’s spell.”
After a long time, the fluctuations dissipated and the fog calmed down. It was as if nothing had happened, and no more fluctuations came.
“I fear it is likely that Chen Tianjun is dead. He didn’t listen to our advice and deserved to die! This Seven-Colored Realm is not a place you can casually move in, and the road changes every time. Unless you know this place well, you can’t casually enter or leave.” The old man named Pang sneered and there was mockery in his eyes.
“Well, let’s put the matter about Chen Tianjun aside. Fellow Cultivator Zhao, I checked and there seems to be restrictions in the way. As for how to crack them, I need Fellow Cultivator Zhao to help.” Master Ashen Pine took a few steps back and clasped his hands at the old woman in green.
The old woman in green had already checked the path ahead, and right now she silently nodded.
“Unfortunately, Fellow Cultivator Duanmu was taken by the Lost One. If he was still here, he could’ve used his dao to temporarily stop the restrictions from changing and help Fellow Cultivator Zhao.” Master Ashen Pine shook his head.
“Most of the restrictions here are ones I’ve never seen before. I don’t have much confidence in breaking them.” The old woman in green walked forward as she spoke and arrived at the end of the path.
There was no path here, only mountains. If you wanted to pass, you’d have to climb up the mountain, but there was dense fog up the mountain that sealed all path.
Touching the mountain rock, the eyes of the old woman in green lit up and she pondered.
Wang Lin wasn’t phased and withdrew his gaze from the stone. He sat down and began to cultivate. He was going to keep himself at his peak so he would be ready for anything unexpected that might happen.
Time slowly passed. The old woman in green didn’t move, but the changes in her eyes became even more drastic. She eventually frowned.
“Master Ashen Pine, are you sure there is a restriction here? Why not just climb over?” The old woman in green looked at Master Ashen Pine.
Master Ashen Pine pondered for a moment before saying, “There isn’t just one fierce beast on top of this mountain. According to what I know, there are seven! They are all rank 12 fierce beasts. We came here from another path before and tried to climb the mountain, but we suffered heavy casualties. In the end, we weren’t able to pass. Then I found a map that showed that there was a passage through the mountain, and the entrance is here!”
The old woman in green pondered a bit before retreating two steps. Her hands formed a seal. Afterimages of her hands appeared and they overlapped to form a complex rune. The rune suddenly landed on the mountain’s rock.
Wang Lin’s mind trembled and he pretended to look over casually.
The moment the restriction fell on the mountain, the surface of the rock seemed to melt and ripples appeared like when one threw a pebble into a lake.
However, what was strange was that the ripples were strings of small incantations. An ancient and decaying aura came out from the mountain stone.
The old woman in green retreated a few more steps, then her hands formed more seals and pointed a few times at her chest. Seven strands of gas flew out from her orifices, each strand containing a large amount of vitality, and they surrounded her. She took a deep breath and stepped forward.
The old woman unexpectedly sank into the mountain rock with three steps. The ripples became even more intense and the rock became transparent. This allowed Master Ashen Pine and others to clearly see the massive stone tunnel inside.
However, aside from the entrance, it was completely dark inside. Even their gazes were devoured by the darkness.
When the old woman in green sank into the stone, her face turned pale and her body began to distort as if she was being squeezed by an unimaginable force. A faint popping sound came from her body.
She closed her eyes and cultivated for a moment. Then she opened her eyes and walked forward. Each step made her body tremble more violently, and the amount of ripples around the rock multiplied. The ancient aura became a powerful pressure that surrounded the area.
After walking three steps, her eyes were bloodshot. Her hands formed a seal and mercilessly pressed down between her eyebrows. The old woman’s wrinkly face went through a shocking change.
Most of the wrinkles quickly dissipated. Even her body suddenly seemed to rejuvenate, and she turned into a middle-aged woman around 40. Although her appearance wasn’t stunning, she had the grace of a beautiful, mature woman. She took two more steps, and just as she was about to take the sixth step, she coughed out a mouthful of blood. She could no longer bear it and retreated from the mountain rock.
She only stopped retreating when she was next to Wang Lin. Her face immediately changed back to her old self.
The old woman bitterly said, “Nine Step Heaven-Sealing Formation!
“This is an ancient formation. I have seen it in records but never in real life. For someone to place this restriction, their restriction ability is already at the peak.”
“Nine Step Heaven-Sealing Formation…” Wang Lin looked at the mountain rock. After the old woman retreated, it returned to normal, and it was impossible to find anything wrong with it.
“This formation was damaged due to the passage of time, so it has no offensive capabilities, but its sealing power is unaffected. With my cultivation, I can only take five steps. Any more and my body can’t handle it.”
Master Ashen Pine frowned as he looked at the formation and asked, “How do we break this formation?”
The old woman in green took out some pills and ate them. She began cultivating and said, “Take the 10th step and you can break it.”
Master Ashen Pine pondered. After a long time, he clenched his teeth and waved his hand. A set of black devil armor appeared around him. Devilish energy filled the area and made Master Ashen Pine look like a devil god.
“I want to see how many steps I can take with my cultivation and this armor! Fellow Cultivator Zhao, open it for me!” Master Ashen Pine had no other choice. He had already come this far, and he wasn’t willing to give up. He took two steps and charged at the mountain rock.
The old woman in green formed a seal and pointed forward. A restriction flew out and landed on the mountain rock before Master Ashen Pine. Ripples appeared again and the rock became transparent once more.
Master Ashen Pine didn’t hesitate and directly stepped into the rock. His mid stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivator erupted, and the moment he entered the rock, he took four steps!
Every step seemed to give off a thunderous boom. Master Ashen Pine’s face turned pale and the armor gave off dense devilish energy. After four steps, he paused for a bit before his eyes lit up and he unexpectedly took three more steps!
After he took these three steps, Master Ashen Pine’s face was pale and his body was faintly trembling. However, he clenched his teeth and let out a roar as he took another step!
This was the eighth step!
The moment the fifth step landed, popping sounds came from Master Ashen Pine’s body and blood came out of the corner of his mouth. His eyes were bloodshot. One thousand years of preparation and he was stopped by a formation. He was unwilling to yield!
Roar!
Master Ashen Pine clenched his teeth and stepped forward again. At this moment, there was a hint of excitement in the old man named Pang’s eyes, and the eyes of the old woman in green lit up. It was impossible to see her thoughts.
The moment the ninth step landed, it was as if Master Ashen Pine had smashed into a wall. A huge force smashed into his body and he coughed out blood. His body was ejected from the stone and it took several dozen feet for him to stop.
“If I can’t enter, then none of them will be able to leave this Seven-Colored Realm!” His face was pale as he stared at the mountain rock. There was a hint of madness and ferociousness in Master Ashen Pine’s eyes.
Wang Lin stood up and patted the dust off his clothes. He looked at the scattered devil armor on Master Ashen Pine and calmly said, “Let me try.”
Chapter 1186 – As It Should Be
“You?” Master Ashen Pine looked at Wang Lin. As he did so, the madness in his eyes was gradually hid away. He thought, “This person’s body is indeed strange. Earlier, he was able to stand up against the dragon with his body. Perhaps he can break the formation with the power of his body.”
“OK, I’ll rely on Fellow Cultivator Lu.” Master Ashen Pine clasped his hands and his expression returned to normal.
The old man named Pang sneered. He thought that if even Master Ashen Pine with the devil armor could only take nine steps, then how many steps could this person named Lu possibly take?
Wang Lin looked at the stone. He originally wasn’t going to act, but after he saw the madness in Master Ashen Pine’s eyes, he was moved. Although it was dangerous here, there must’ve been something important in this place to interest Master Ashen Pine so much.
If they couldn’t enter, Master Ashen Pine wouldn’t let them leave. Although Wang Lin had already secretly prepared for this and therefore didn’t care, he wanted to know what would make Master Ashen Pine so crazy.
“I ask Fellow Cultivator Zhao to help and open the formation.” Wang Lin clasped his hands at the old woman in green. The old woman in green was obviously holding back. She had used the fact that Master Ashen Pin was anxious and had made him try it himself, resulting in his injury.
“We haven’t even found the treasure, and these people already began secretly fighting amongst each other to weaken each other’s strength. If I want to participate in this mess, I must do the same…” Wang Lin’s expression was neutral, and no one could see through his thoughts.
The old woman in green raised her right hand and waved. A restriction landed on the mountain rock, causing it to become transparent, and ripples appeared.
Wang Lin arrived next to the mountain rock in a few steps and walked inside. No one noticed that when he entered the rock, Wang Lin’s right hand sent out an invisible restriction as he went inside.
Just as he entered the mountain rock, Wang Lin felt pressure from all directions. The pressure was even more intense ahead.
He was very slow as he walked forward. One step, two steps, three steps! When the third step fell, Wang Lin clearly felt the pressure reach an unimaginable height, and the pressure ahead was like a violent storm. It was as if countless mountains were pressing down on him, preventing him from moving forward.
With every extra step, the pressure would increase. As a result, the more he walked, the more difficult it became. If it was an ordinary cultivator, their body wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure, and they would inevitably collapse.
However, Wang Lin had the body of an ancient god, so this was nothing to him. However, at this moment, his face was extremely pale and he stopped at the third step. After a moment, he lifted his feet once more.
Four steps, five steps, six steps!
The moment the sixth step landed, the pressure reached an earth-shattering degree. It was as if countless hands were pressing down and countless spells were up ahead. It made him feel like a lonely boat in the stormy sea.
Wang Lin’s face was deathly pale and his body trembled slightly. It seemed like he was going to retreat, but at this moment, a force appeared behind him and prevented him from retreating.
At this moment, outside the mountain rock, the old woman in green stared at Wang Lin and pondered.
“There is a change in the formation…” Master Ashen Pine frowned as he looked at Wang Lin’s body. After carefully looking at Wang Lin for a bit, he began to carefully think about his own sixth step and became silent.
The old man named Pang sneered and thought that he had thought too highly of this person before. This person only had cultivation but no cunning. If one were to get injured here, they would be unable to continue.
Wang Lin stopped at the sixth step for a long time before he took the seventh step. On the seventh step, he coughed out blood, but he didn’t retreat. He then took the eighth step.
The moment the eighth step landed, popping sounds came from Wang Lin’s body as if his flesh and bones were being squeezed. Large amounts of blood sprayed out, causing his white robe to become blood red.
At this moment, Master Ashen Pine was moved, and he walked a few steps closer. His gaze was like lightning as he observed Wang Lin.
The old woman in green also stood up, and her expression was serious.
As for the old man named Pang, he sneered even more in his heart.
Wang Lin’s body, which was inside the mountain rock, seemed to become twisted. He lifted his right foot, and there was a faint roar from the mountain rock as he took the ninth step!
Wang Lin’s body trembled violently and the veins on his face became swollen. His eyes were bloodshot, but he stabilized himself!
Master Ashen Pine’s mind trembled and he shouted, “Fellow Cultivator Lu, only one more step!!”
The old woman in green revealed a complicated expression. She looked for a long time and couldn’t see any sign of Wang Lin faking it. It was all very real.
“The formation unexpectedly changed. Even if he wanted to return, he can’t.”
“Fellow Cultivator Ashen Pine and Zhao, I have already done my best on this trip. If I’m seriously injured, you all…” Wang Lin’s weak voice came from inside the rock.
“Fellow Cultivator Lu can rest assured. This old man will not forget his promise!” Master Ashen Pine sent out his message.
Wang Lin seemed to hesitate inside the mountain rock, but soon he lifted his right foot and took the 10th step! The moment the 10th step landed, the entire mountain roared and shook violently. Large amounts of rocks fell off the mountain and alerted the fog beasts at the top.
The Nine Step Heaven-Sealing Formation collapsed!
Wang Lin coughed out more blood. As the the formation collapsed, a powerful force pushed Wang Lin out of the mountain. Master Ashen Pine’s eyes lit up and he immediately moved forward. His right hand aimed directly at Wang Lin’s back.
The moment his right hand touched Wang Lin, his origin energy and divine sense rushed into Wang Lin’s body. He cycled once through Wang Lin’s body and then quickly withdrew.
It was inconvenient for him to kill Wang Lin before the old woman in green. Otherwise, it would put her on extremely high alert and cause unnecessary trouble in the future.
His purpose was to test if this person named Lu was really seriously injured. Now that he got his answer, he wasn’t going to bother with someone who was already seriously injured and no longer a threat.
Just at this moment, the roar of beasts suddenly appeared. A hawk-like beast charged out from the mountain and rushed at everyone.
Master Ashen Pine grabbed Wang Lin and directly charged into the tunnel that appeared once the formation collapsed. The old man named Pang and the old woman in green quickly followed into the tunnel.
Everyone quickly moved through the tunnel for a long time. Only after they could no longer hear the roars of the beasts did they stop.
Master Ashen Pine put Wang Lin down and looked regretful. He clasped his hands. “Brother Lu was willing to get seriously injured to open the formation. This old man will remember this!”
Wang Lin’s face was pale and there was still blood on the corner of his lip. He waved his hand and revealed a wry smile. “That formation was very strange. After I took six steps, there was a force behind me, so I could only move forward…”
“No matter what, Fellow Cultivator Lu has contributed greatly to us entering here!” Master Ashen Pine looked very sincere and continued to clasp his hands. Seeing that Wang Lin’s face was tired, he immediately took out pills and handed them to Wang Lin.
“Brother Lu, rest and recover for a bit. Once you recover a bit, we can continue moving forward.”
Wang Lin pondered a bit and bitterly nodded. He took the pill but didn’t consume it. He brought his own pills and swallowed them before closing his eyes to cultivate.
The old man named Pang’s eyes lit up and revealed a hint of coldness. Just at this moment, Master Ashen Pine looked at the old man and shook his head slightly.
Time slowly passed. It didn’t take long before Wang Lin opened his eyes and stood up. He said in a hoarse voice, “My injuries can’t heal in a short period of time. Let’s move forward.”
Master Ashen Pine looked at Wang Lin and nodded. The old woman in green sighed in her heart but didn’t speak.
Everyone walked forward through the tunnel. This place was very quiet, with only the sounds of their footsteps echoing. After an unknown amount of time, light appeared in the distance. Master Ashen Pine suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly walked ahead.
The location of the light was the exit of this tunnel. Looking outside, Master Ashen Pine began to laugh.
There was large valley outside the tunnel. It was filled with vegetation, and one could easily smell the faint fragrance of the flowers. It was a relaxing scent. After the valley stood a mountain range that was like a city wall. These mountains were very tall and walled off the outside world.
“After we pass the mountain range, we will enter the inner part of this realm! Sima Mo’s cave is not in the mountain, but in a valley before it.” Master Ashen Pine laughed as he flew forward at a fast pace. The old woman in green followed and the two of them flew away.
Wang Lin’s face was pale and the seven-colored light was even more harsh. He took a deep breath and followed. The old man named Pang sneered and remained not far from Wang Lin.
It didn’t take long for the four of them to arrive at a valley under Master Ashen Pine’s guidance. As soon as they entered the valley, they saw a cave before them.
The wall of this cave was covered in grass, making it obvious it hadn’t been used for a long time. It wasn’t very large and only had three rooms. The ground was a mess with pills scattered everywhere. Most of them had fossilized and would crumble if you touched them.
Master Ashen Pine’s mind was obviously not on the cave. He looked at the old woman in green and said, “I won’t take anything from here. Everything belongs to Fellow Cultivators Zhao and Lu.
The old woman in green’s divine sense spread out and she shook her head “Fellow Cultivator Lu has paid a heavy price, so how could I take anything? Let Fellow Cultivator Lu take everything.”
Wang Lin looked around and let out a sigh. “I am unable to continue with the two of you. This place is quiet and suitable for healing.
“Fellow Cultivator is seriously injured, so it’s better for you to heal for a few days. After Fellow Cultivator Zhao and I return, we’ll naturally hand over what was promised. Then we can leave together.” Master Ashen Pine smiled.
“Many thanks.” Wang Lin nodded.
“However, although this place is quiet, it is still dangerous as there might be fierce beats. Fellow Cultivator Pang, there is one thing I want to ask of you.” Master Ashen Pine pondered for a bit before looking at the old man named Pang.
“If fellow cultivator Lu recovers here by himself, I will feel worried, so I’d like to ask Fellow Cultivator Pang to stay here to protect him. Part of what I and Fellow Cultivator Zhao find will be given to you as payment. How about it?”
The old man named Pang’s eyes lit up and he said, “As it should be!”
Chapter 1187 – Harvest
Wang Lin frowned and was about to speak.
“What, is Fellow Cultivator not satisfied?” Master Ashen Pine’s expression sank as he looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin remained silent.
“Since Fellow Cultivator Lu agrees, then I’ll leave it to Fellow Cultivator Pang.” After Master Ashen Pine finished speaking, he looked at the old woman in green and the two left the cave. They charged straight for the wall-like mountain range in the distance.
However, before leaving, the old woman in green glanced at Wang Lin. Similarly, Master Ashen Pine looked at the old man named Pang.
After the two of them left, the old man named Pang revealed a gloomy smile and stared at Wang Lin. He turned the ring on his finger and slowly said, “Fellow Cultivator Lu, continue to cultivate. This old man will guard you well.”
After he finished speaking, he presumptuously scanned Wang Lin with his divine sense. After confirming that Wang Lin’s injuries were real, he didn’t even look at Wang Lin and began raiding the cave.
Wang Lin closed his eyes and ignored the old man.
Time slowly passed. When the old man searched the three stone rooms, he revealed a look of ecstasy. After returning, he coldly stared at Wang Lin and suddenly laughed.
“Fellow Cultivator Lu, this old man remembers you once said something.”
Wang Lin opened his eyes. His gaze was calm as he looked at the old man named Pang.
Seeing Wang Lin’s calm eyes, the old man’s eyes narrowed but quickly returned to normal. He said with an eerie tone, “You once told me that I should speak carefully. If I speak carelessly, it might invite a calamity.”
Wang Lin’s expression was calm as he slowly said, “I did indeed say that, and I’ll say it now as well. If you speak carelessly, it might invite a calamity.”
The old man began to laugh like crazy, and the scars on his face looked extremely ferocious. He looked at Wang Lin with a cold gaze and said, “If you weren’t injured, I might’ve been a bit afraid of you. However, now I want to see which one of us has invited a calamity!” He looked at Wang Lin and slammed his right hand down on him!
The reason he had waited until now to attack was to allow Master Ashen Pine and the old woman in green to gain some distance. He feared that she might notice.
Wang Lin’s eyes were still as calm as water. The moment the old man’s right hand closed in, there was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin’s eyes. His left hand moved like lightning and grabbed the old man’s right hand, then he mercilessly squeezed!
A crackling sound echoed, and the old man’s pupils shrank. Pain came from his hand, but it was insignificant compared to the terror in his heart.
“You!!” The old man named Pang immediately retreated and was about to use a spell. However, at this moment, Wang Lin rushed out and his right hand forced a fist. A powerful force whistled forward.
The old man was too close to Wang Lin and thus was unable to dodge at all. Wang Lin’s fist landed on the old man’s chest with a bang.
The old man coughed out blood and his eyes became filled with disbelief. His body exploded into a pile of flesh and blood and his origin soul escaped screaming. He was filled with fear; he was afraid!
He would have never expected the person before him to not be injured! He was about to escape when Wang Lin lifted his right hand and an iron sword appeared. He slashed down without any hesitation!
There was a flash of sword energy, then the old man’s origin soul was cut in half and he let out a scream. Wang Lin waved his hand and grabbed the old man’s origin soul. His hand crushed half of the origin soul, and before the origin energy could dissipate, Wang Lin inhaled it. The other half of the origin soul was almost transparent, but it didn’t dare to escape. It turned in Wang Lin’s hand with the iron sword pointed at it.
All of this happened in an instant. Wang Lin had made the killing strike without wasting any time at all. The old man wasn’t prepared, making his spells and magic treasure useless.
Wang Lin’s eyes were cold as he gloomily said, “Open your storage space and I won’t kill you!”
The old man’s origin soul was very weak, and he already felt like he was dissipating. Wang Lin looked incredibly powerful right now.
He couldn’t tell if what Wang Lin had said was the truth or a lie. If it was a lie, he’d die, but if it was true, he still had a chance to live. He clenched his teeth and opened his storage space.
Wang Lin waved his iron sword and cut off the connection between the old man and the storage space. Then he took everything inside the storage space.
Then he coldly looked at the old man’s origin soul and killing intent flashed in his eyes.
The old man named Pang’s origin soul immediately screamed, “You promised to not kill me!”
Wang Lin let out a cold snort as his right hand grabbed the origin soul and forcibly searched the old man’s memories while he was weakened. A moment later, he put the origin soul that was close to death inside his storage space.
He really didn’t decide to kill this old man. If this old man’s death raised Master Ashen Pine’s guard, then it wouldn’t be worth it as it would destroy Wang Lin’s plan.
“This person has a very close relationship with Master Ashen Pine, so Master Ashen Pine might have his life token. Once he dies, Master Ashen Pine might immediately know.” Wang Lin wasn’t sure, and he hadn’t seen it in the old man’s memory. But he’d always rather tread with caution.
After calculating for a bit, Wang Lin leisurely opened his storage space and searched the old man’s stuff. The old man was a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator, so he had a lot of treasures. There were hundreds of thousands of celestial jades, and there were even 50,000 to 60,000 origin crystals.
Aside from these, there were large amounts of herb and pill recipes. This old man was fully prepared for this trip.
These were all secondary. Wang Lin mainly searched the jades. Among the jades, he found two maps and a chant to leave this place.
The two maps were related to the Seven-Colored Realm. Some routes were marked, including places where you could feed fog beasts celestial jades to get origin crystals. It was very detailed.
Unfortunately, Wang Lin was unable to find Master Ashen Pine’s true goal in the old man’s memories. Even the old man only knew that there were a lot of beast souls sealed there.
Aside from that, Wang Lin learned other things about the Seven-Colored Realm.
After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin continued to inspect everything, including the things the old man had gotten from this cave for Wang Lin. There were a lot of pills, and what caught Wang Lin’s attention was a short sword!
This short sword was stabbed into a beast skeleton in the third stone chamber.
He waved his right hand, and with a flash of silver light, the short sword appeared. The old man had just obtained it and hadn’t even gotten the chance to examine it before returning it to Wang Lin.
When his divine sense swept past the short sword, he noticed an unusual aura from it. He felt like it was familiar, but couldn’t remember what it was. However, there was a seal on the sword. If it wasn’t open, it would be impossible to know its exact strength.
After pondering a bit, Wang Lin arrived at the third room and saw the beast skeleton on the ground. This beast wasn’t very large, only about the size of a person, and it was shaped like a deer.
Its bones were completely black, and many of them had turned to dust. After taking a closer look, the dust had appeared recently. It was obvious that the old man done this when taking the sword.
Looking at the beast bone, Wang Lin gradually frowned. He felt like something was wrong. Why was there a deer in such a cave? Also, it was easy to see that this short sword was not ordinary even though it was still sealed. Once the seal was open, its power would be unimaginable. Yet such a treasure was stabbed into this deer and left here.
“Since this place isn’t Sima Mo’s cave, then whose cave is it…” Wang Lin had searched the old man’s memories and found that this wasn’t Sima Mo’s cave. Master Ashen Pine had never intended to take him to the real cave.
This was just a cave Master Ashen Pine had randomly found.
Sima Mo did indeed have a cave in this land, but it was not here. Wang Lin now knew its real location.
Looking at the beast skeleton on the ground, Wang Lin pondered for a long time before walking out of the room. He had no clues and wasn’t able to analyze more. He put away the short sword and was about to leave.
Then Wang Lin’s footstep suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something. He looked down at the ground. In the corner, there was a ring inside the pile of flesh and blood.
Wang Lin remembered that this ring was the old man’s beast treasure. It was something he had obtained from the Seven-Colored Realm, but Wang Lin had instantly killed him before he could use it.
Wang Lin’s right hand reached out and the ring flew into his hand. After wiping off the blood, Wang Lin scanned it with his divine sense, and his expression changed slightly.
There was a seal with a total of nine layers on this ring. The old man named Pang had opened seven layers and gained partial control of the ring. He had also broken more than half of the eighth layer.
Wang Lin erased the imprint on it and placed his own, then he carefully looked at it. With his knowledge of restrictions, it would not be difficult to break the rest of the seal. His left hand formed a seal and sent out a restriction. The instant it fell on the ring, popping sounds echoed as the mostly broken eighth layer shattered. The ring unexpectedly gave off a five-colored glow, and five rays of light circled Wang Lin.
These five rays of light formed a very strong shield. As they circled Wang Lin, they could prevent all spells from getting close.
“If the old man named Pang had opened the eighth seal, I wouldn’t have killed him so fast.” With a thought, the five rays of light went back into the ring and Wang Lin put it away.
He took a deep breath and looked outside the cave. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He shot out of the cave and chased after them! As he moved, he didn’t spread out his divine sense; he only kept it wrapped around his body. He navigated through the valley with a strange connection he was feeling.
If Master Ashen Pine saw Wang Lin’s path, he would be shocked. This route was exactly the same one he had taken with the old woman in green!
“How can I, Wang Lin, let you wear my scattered devil armor for nothing?”
Chapter 1188 – Dao Scripture
This place was covered in grass and there was no fog, so he could clearly see into the distance. Wang Lin was rushing his way through the valley. Sometimes he would stop and close his eyes for a moment as if he was sensing where the path was. A moment later, he would open his eyes and rush forward again.
The wall-like mountain range was in the distance, and as time passed, Wang Lin gradually closed in.
After about a day, Wang Lin stopped outside a valley. This was already very close to the mountain range. He only needed to travel through the valley to arrive at the foot of the mountain range.
Looking at the valley ahead, Wang Lin began to ponder. This valley was strange. After carefully observing for a bit, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. His right hand formed a restriction and he pointed to the spot between his eyebrows. A black line flew out from between his eyebrows. It twisted into a restriction mark as it flew forward.
The restriction floated in the air, giving off a black glow that surrounded the area.
As the black light shrouded the area, silver light came from the grass before him, revealing a strange pattern. It was the pattern of a plum flower. The moment Wang Lin saw this, his eyes narrowed.
“The 18 Plum Flower Restriction!”
This 18 Plum Flower Restriction hadn’t been here for a long time; it was only placed here one day ago. Apparently, the old woman in green had placed it here. The 18 Plum Flower Restriction was derived from one of the four great ancient restrictions, the Annihilation Restriction. If Wang Lin hadn’t gone to Allheaven, he wouldn’t have been able to break this restriction.
However, when he was Allheaven, Wang Lin gained the inheritance of one of the four great ancient restrictions, the Annihilation Restriction. This 18 Plum Flower Restriction was derived from the Annihilation Restriction, so it wasn’t difficult for Wang Lin to break.
“The old woman in green left this restriction here. Presumably it is for an ambush and a warning…” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he was about to move forward when he suddenly stopped. He carefully looked at the 18 Plum Flower Restriction on the ground.
He had a vague feeling that things weren’t this simple.
Wang Lin spread out his divine sense and carefully scanned the the grass inch by inch. His expression gradually grew serious, especially when he saw the black light not so far from the 18 Plum Flower Restriction. He immediately thought about the black gas the old woman had used to absorb the dragon’s vitality and to enter the Nine Step Heaven Sealing Formation.
When he saw the old woman’s restriction, he felt it was strange, but it was inconvenient to observe too closely, so he couldn’t see through it. However, with the restriction before him, he thought for a bit and gained enlightenment.
“To form vitality from endless death aura, this method is similar to one of the four great ancient restrictions, the Life and Death Restriction…” Wang Lin pondered a bit as he squatted down and his right hand moved. He slowly pulled up some grass from the soil, and his eyes narrowed.
The root of the grass had already decayed, and there wasn’t much vitality left. In just a few more hours, it would lose all its vitality and the restriction here would be activated completely.
“The old woman in green didn’t have time to do anything too detailed with Master Ashen Pine around. She simply left a restriction here that would absorb vitality from the vegetation. Once all the vitality had been absorbed, the restriction would activate,” Wang Lin muttered to himself. He then became extremely vigilant toward the old woman in green.
“Right now this restriction is half-complete, so it’s not as if I can’t break it, unless…” Wang Lin smiled and took a few steps back. His hands formed a seal and pointed forward. The black light formed by the Annihilation Restriction Heart suddenly collapsed into specks of black light that landed on this patch of grass.
“I won’t break this restriction. Instead, I’ll leave my own imprint and restriction on it before it fully activates. By doing so, I will take over this restriction without the old woman knowing… With my Annihilation Restriction and the Life and Death Restriction, that’s two of the four great ancient restrictions. Even if Master Ashen Pine were to carelessly step inside, he would be seriously injured!” Wang Lin carefully moved through the field. He didn’t relax until he entered the valley.
After looking around, Wang Lin looked at the end of the valley. It was connected to the wall-like mountain range. The mountain was very steep, as if it was a tower.
Without pausing, Wang Lin climbed up the mountain like lightning. Thinking about the Life and Death Restriction, Wang Lin could not help but remember what Li Yuan had said back then.
“When the world was born, laws appeared. After a long time, a strand spread out into restriction! Or formation! They have different names, but they’re the same thing. Heaven, earth, mysterious, and yellow have been the four ranks of restrictions for a very long time! However, there was a still a level above those four, and we call it ‘Abstract!’ The Abstract is split into the four great ancient restrictions.
“Aside from the Annihilation Restriction of the four great ancient restrictions, there are the Life and Death Restriction, the Ancient Soul Restriction, and the mysterious Time Restriction! Even most of the celestial restrictions were derived from these four great ancient restrictions and spread to the present.”
Wang Lin began to ponder as he climbed the mountain.
“When I left the Allheaven Star System, Li Yuan said that if one could learn all four great ancient restrictions and fuse them, they would be able to comprehend the Abstract realm… Abstract is the peak of restrictions! However, over the countless years since the restriction law split from the birth of the world, no one has been able to comprehend the Abstract realm.” Wang Lin let out a sigh and no longer thought about this matter. Instead, he focused on sensing Master Ashen Pine’s route.
Half a day passed by. Wang Lin stood at the highest point of the mountain under the seven-colored light. The seven-colored light surrounded him, and from a distance, he looked like a celestial god.
This wall-like mountain range was like a ring that separated the inner part from the outside. This place was filled with dense fog, so it was impossible to see what it was like.
It was like a black sea that had faintly revealed its danger.
Looking ahead, Wang Lin could clearly feel that Master Ashen Pine was in the fog. Wang Lin’s eyes turned cold as he charged down the mountain and disappeared into the distance.
Master Ashen Pine was wearing the Divine Devil Armor and was being extremely cautious. He had to be on guard with every step he took while inside the fog. The old woman in green was beside him, and she had black gas surrounding her.
The surroundings were completely silent with only their footsteps echoing.
“That person named Lu should be dead by now. Pang Decai is good at soul searching, so he must have had a good harvest, especially with that War Spirit Print. It is one of the great spells of the God Sect.” Master Ashen Pine had calculated the time. They had worked together often, so they could know each other’s thoughts at a glance.
“Pang Decai should be on his way…” Master Ashen Pine’s eyes shined an indiscernible amount.
The old woman in green hadn’t spoken at all, but she suddenly asked, “Master Ashen Pine, how far away is the place you mentioned?”
“Not far, it should be just ahead.” Just as he spoke, he suddenly stopped. At the same time, the old woman in green also stopped and cautiously looked ahead.
There was a blurry, giant statue hidden in the fog before them. The statue seemed to be moving. As the fog churned, the statue seemed to change.
The two of them looked at each other and slowly walked forward. It didn’t take long for them to arrive below the giant statue and look up.
This was a giant boulder more than 1,000 feet tall with a man carved into it. He was looking up at the sky, pondering, and there was a lightning like mark between his eyebrows.
“This is…” The old woman in green was startled as she stared at the mark between the eyebrows of the statue, and her expression suddenly changed.
Just at this moment erratic voice penetrated from the thick fog. It was strange and contained a force that could penetrate the soul. It seem to came from the distance but also close by, it was impossible to know where it was coming from.
“Enlightened, prisoner of the dao of heaven, all sentient beings must endure immeasurable calamities. It only takes a thought to leave the deep prison. Await the path of cultivation…
“Enlightened, all life must walk forever forward and solve the modern age. Escape the will of heaven and obtain the path to life. Await the path of cultivation…
“Enlightened, seal the will of the heavens. Engrave the dark days. All life doesn’t know the true dao. The bitter abyss forever distorts the true dao. Await the path of cultivation…”
This eerie passage echoed through the fog and filled the area.
Master Ashen Pine’s face immediately turned pale and he looked around in fear. The old woman in green sucked in a breath of cold air. These strange words remained in her mind and continued to echo. It unexpectedly caused her origin soul to tremble, and her dao heart became unstable.
“Who are they…. What do these words mean…” The old woman in green looked at Master Ashen Pine.
“They are the Enlightened Ones…” Just after he finished speaking, the fog before them churned and a shadow flew out. It was too fast, and it directly floated past between the two of them.
The strange voice clearly entered their mind.
“Master Ashen Pine, what exactly are the Enlightened Ones?” The old woman’s face was pale as the passages echoed in her mind. She was beginning to feel like she couldn’t withstand it anymore.
“The Lost Ones have lost their dao and search in confusion as they wander the Seven-Colored Realm. They blindly search… The Enlightened Ones have dao, but due to seeing the dao scripture, their dao hearts collapsed and couldn’t reform. They could only float in this fog and search forever. They may already be dead, and this is merely a dao soul formed from their will!” Master Ashen Pine whispered as he listened to those words echo in his mind.
“Dao scripture?” The old woman in green’s eyes narrowed.
Master Ashen Pine raised his head. His eyes were filled with fervor as he slowly said, “Yes, it is the dao scripture! I have never heard of this before coming to the Seven-Colored Realm, but after entering here, I found countless clues about it. In this world, there is the dao scripture that is rumored to be formed by the blood of heaven…”
“What they talking about… is the dao scripture?” The old woman in green sucked in a breath of cold air. What she was hearing now was simply too terrifying.
Chapter 1189 – The Many Treasures of Master Ashen Pine
Master Ashen Pine’s eyes revealed a strange light and he slowly said, “It is the dao scripture! I’m not afraid of Fellow Cultivator Zhao learning my true purpose. The beast souls are only secondary; my true goal is to see the dao scripture!”
“There are many Enlightened Ones here, so getting to the dao scripture won’t be simple. Master Ashen Pine, you…” The old woman in green looked at Master Ashen Pine.
“Fellow Cultivator Zhao, do you remember the thing that spread among my generation when one didn’t have an Ascendant pill?” Master Ashen Pine looked up at the statue.
The old woman softly said, “Those who seek dao are born in the morning and die at dusk. It is enough!”
“Let’s go.” Master Ashen Pine withdrew his gaze and rushed forward. The old woman in green pondered for a bit and then followed.
As the two moved forward, the erratic voices became even louder. This sound was strange and unpredictable, and it would make your mind begin to wander involuntarily.
It required a lot of effort to suppress it by force. As they got deeper into the fog, they got a feeling they wouldn’t be able to suppress it much longer.
Every step they took felt like a large army was bearing down on them and causing their minds to tremble.
Master Ashen Pine’s face was pale, but it was filled with excitement. They slowly walked through the fog as time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had been in the fog for three days.
They didn’t know how far they had walked in the fog. On the fourth day, they vaguely saw a small mountain before them.
This small mountain wasn’t very large, only 10,000 feet tall. It was appearing and disappearing within the fog.
A layer of black light surrounded the small mountain, blocking the path forward. Master Ashen Pine looked at the old woman in green and sincerely said, “Fellow Cultivator Zhao, my restriction knowledge can’t be compared to yours. Please help me break this restriction!
“This mountain is where the countless beast souls are sealed. As long as Fellow Cultivator Zhao opens it, you can obtain the beast souls.”
The old woman in green looked at the black light curtain restriction. She arrived next to it and placed her right hand on it. After a long time, her expression became ugly and she said, “This is a time restriction. The longer it exists, the more powerful it becomes. I can’t see through how old this restriction is, so there is no need to talk about breaking it! If I had known there was this kind of restriction here, I would have never come!”
Master Ashen Pine smiled and his hand reached out. A storage space opened and something flew out. It was a black awl with a spiral mark on it. The moment he took it out, a pressure began to spread.
“Does Fellow Cultivator Zhao know what this is?” Master Ashen Pine looked at the old woman in green.
The old woman in green stared at the awl with a strange light in her eyes. After looking carefully for a long time, she slowly said, “The strange treasure from ancient times, Restriction Breaking Awl!”
“Fellow Cultivator Zhao is indeed worthy of being a restriction grandmaster, so knowledgeable. I wonder how confident Fellow Cultivator Zhao is in breaking this restriction with this!”
The old woman in green pondered a bit and said, “How many Restriction Breaking Awls do you have?”
Master Ashen Pine said, “Four!”
“If it was a time restriction that had only existed for a short period of time, four would be enough. However, this restriction has existed for far too long, so I’m only 10% confident.” The old woman in green shook her head.
Master Ashen Pine pondered a bit before waving his right hand and taking something else out. It was a piece of black wood that was the size of a palm. The moment it appeared, an indescribably powerful aura appeared. This aura even moved the fog and formed a vortex 100 feet wide, slowly rotating.
The eyes of the old woman in green narrowed. She stared at the piece of black wood and gasped before slowly asked, “Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure?”
Master Ashen Pine didn’t explain and slowly said, “How confident are you with this?”
The old woman withdrew her gaze and calculated for a bit before she said, “40%. If there was the War Spirit Print, it would be 50%, but unfortunately…”
Master Ashen Pine hesitated for a bit and took out one more item from his storage space. It was a bright crystal that seemed to have fresh blood flowing inside. The moment it appeared, a heaven-shattering destructive aura spread out.
“It should be enough with this!” Master Ashen Pine looked at the old woman in green.
The old woman in green silently pondered for a bit and then said in a hoarse voice, “Master Ashen Pine is going big to take out two Pseudo Nirvana Void treasures. This crystal is obviously a lot more powerful than the last… With these three items, I’m 70% confident!”
“70% is enough!” Master Ashen Pine waved his sleeves and the four Restriction Breaking Awls flew toward the old woman in green. Master Ashen Pine was well prepared. If it wasn’t for the fact that his restriction ability was truely inferior to this old woman’s, he would have already broken it himself.
“When you need me to use the treasures, just tell me.”
The old woman in green no longer wasted any time. Both her hands formed seals and restrictions flew out. At the same time, the black gas around her moved with the restrictions. With a point of her finger, they shot toward one of the Restriction Breaking Awls!
Popping sounds echoed as the restrictions landed on the Restriction Breaking Awl, then the black gas rushed into it. The awl gave off a black glow, then an aura that could split the heavens spread out.
The eyes of the old woman shined as she bit the tip of her tongue and an arrow of blood shot out at the awl. It landed on the awl, causing it to fly directly at the time restriction.
As it closed in, the black light restriction began to distort as the power of time came crashing down. The awl immediately trembled and showed signs of disappearing.
The old woman in green shouted, “Break!”
The awl gave off a blood red light and a large amount of black gas rushed into the awl. It directly drilled into a corner of the black light restriction and sank inside before it rapidly dissipated.
At the same time, more black gas came out from the old woman in green and entered the second Restriction Breaking Awl. It shot out like lightning and was nailed into another corner.
The remaining Restriction Breaking Awls also flew out and were nailed into the black light restriction!
When all four Restriction Breaking Awls landed, there was a roar from the black light restriction. Originally, countless ripples would’ve appeared, but with the four awls nailed in, it was as if four giant rocks were thrown into a pond. Each set of ripples went in a different direction and disturbed the balance on the surface.
Just at this moment, the old woman in green formed a seal and pointed to between her eyebrows. She immediately spat out a mouthful of black gas. Her wrinkles rapidly dissipated and she returned back into a 40-year-old, beautiful, middle-aged woman! Large amounts of black gas charged at the black light screen and landed at the center. It formed a black vortex at the center and started to collide with the black light restriction!
An earth-shattering rumble echoed.
The beautiful woman’s eyes lit up and she quickly said, “Black wood!”
Master Ashen Pine didn’t hesitate and threw the piece of black wood. When it got close to the vortex, he pointed at it!
The wood immediately trembled and a heaven-shaking destructive aura spread out and the wood suddenly collapsed!
The rumble shook the world and pushed the fog out in all directions. The unimaginable impact seemed to be about to dissipate when the beautiful woman jumped forward. She appeared above the impact and sent out countless restrictions. She was able to control the destructive impact to charge at the black light restriction.
The rumbling even caused the earth to tremble, and the fluctuations on the black light restriction became even more intense. More ripples appeared, but it wasn’t damaged at all, and instead a rebound force appeared. The first awl that was nailed in collapsed!
The beautiful woman’s expression changed. Without any order, Master Ashen Pine threw the crystal. When it got near, the restriction it exploded!
This crystal contained unimaginable power, and it immediately turned into a huge storm. The beautiful woman clenched her teeth and her hands formed another seal before pointing to between her eyebrows. More black gas scattered from her body and her appearance changed once more. She unexpectedly became a beautiful young woman around 20 years old!
The black gas around her turned into countless restrictions under her control and fused with the destructive force caused by the collapse of the crystal. She directed this destructive force toward the black light restriction!
A loud rumble echoed once more along with cracking sounds. A crack appeared on the black light restriction. However, the crack quickly closed and it looked like it was about to be restored back to normal.
Master Ashen Pine clenched his teeth and his heart ached as he took something else out from his storage space. It was just a jade token, but it also gave off the aura of a Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure! Master Ashen Pine was extremely unwilling to take it out. The two treasures from before weren’t really Pseudo Nirvana Void, they merely contained some aura of Pseudo Nirvana Void treasures. Although they were powerful, it would be fine if they were destroyed. Although his heart would ache a bit, he could accept it. However, this item was a true Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure. If this was destroyed, he would feel like his heart had been crushed!
This scene made the beautiful woman’s eyes narrow and she sucked in a breath of cold air. She wasn’t able to guess just how many Pseudo Nirvana Void treasures Master Ashen Pine had!
These treasures were extremely rare, but in order to break this restriction, Master Ashen Pine was willing to destroy three! If they were taken outside, their value would be unimaginable! Just exchanging them for beast souls would allow one to have everything they wanted.
“Shatter!” Master Ashen Pine clenched his teeth before letting out a roar. He was giving it his all!
The jade charged into the crack in the light and suddenly collapsed. An impact far stronger than the last two suddenly appeared. It formed a storm that affected all the fog within tens of thousands of kilometers.
Crackling sounds echoed, but the black light screen still didn’t shatter. However, the crack was now 100 feet wide. Although it was recovering, the rate had slowed down.
Master Ashen Pine charged forward and rushed into the crack, ignoring the woman. The young woman’s eyes lit up and she also charged into the crack. Shortly after, a ray of light broke through the fog and turned into Wang Lin. He looked at the crack but didn’t immediately go in. After placing down large amount of restrictions outside, he rushed into the crack!
Chapter 1190 – The Bottle Under the Bone
The crack on the restriction was like a scar, and it was rapidly healing. It won’t be long before it heals completely. Once that happens, unless one uses that many treasures to destroy it again, then they would be sealed inside for eternity.
There was a small mountain inside the crack. Master Ashen Pine moved like lightning toward the peak with the woman in green behind. The two of them were very fast and instantly arrived near the peak.
There was a 200-foot-tall stone gate in the middle of the peak with a lightning-like mark carved on it!
“This is the location where the beast souls are sealed!” Master Ashen Pine sent out a message with his divine sense as he arrived next to the gate. He then took out a silver pendant that was shaped like a bolt of lightning!
He threw it and the pendant flew at the gate while giving off a harsh, silver glow. At the same time, the lightning mark on the gate also released a silver glow as if it was calling the pendant.
Just at this moment, a thunderous rumble echoed and the huge, stone gate slowly opened. Large amounts of dust scattered everywhere.
The moment the stone gate opened, roars that could pierce the soul came from inside. The roars from the beast souls turned into an indescribable divine sense that quickly spread out.
“Fellow Cultivator Zhao, time is of the essence. You take the beast souls. I want to take a look a the dao scripture!” Master Ashen Pine clasped his hands at the woman in green.
“If Fellow Cultivator Zhao is interested, how about going with this old man? Maybe you will gain enlightenment!”
The woman in green pondered a bit and then slowly shook her head.
Master Ashen Pine no longer asked. He flew toward the top of the mountain. Although he hadn’t been here before, the map he had obtained clearly marked where the dao scripture was.
The eyes of the woman in green lit up as she stared at Master Ashen Pine and frowned. She didn’t believe what Master Ashen Pine had said, but there was no flaw to be found in his words. The beast soul fluctuations proved that what Master Ashen Pine had said was true; there was a large amount of beast souls sealed inside this place.
After pondering a bit, the woman in green arrived next to the gate. Her divine sense spread out inside and her eyes revealed a strange light. After placing down a series of restrictions, she stepped inside.
As for Master Ashen Pine, he had already arrived at the top of the mountain. He look down and watched the woman in green entering the cave, and he sneered.
“I didn’t lie. There is indeed a large amount of beast souls sealed inside. I’m not afraid of you not going in. Even if you had secretly followed me, it would’ve been fine!” He withdrew his gaze and his right hand formed a seal. Rumbling sounds came from the stone gate as it quickly closed and was sealed tightly.
The angry roar of the woman in green came from within as well as the sound of something pounding the gate.
Master Ashen Pine knew he didn’t have much time. Once that crack closes, it will be very difficult to leave. He stood at the top of the mountain and took a deep breath. There was excitement on his face. He had waited for this day for a long time. He stood there and lifted his hands before kneeling down. Then his hand pointed at the sky and he began reciting a strange chant.
This chant was very strange, and it was impossible to hear what he was saying. However, as he spoke, the seven-colored light in the sky became even more intense. It penetrated the fog and directly landed on the mountain.
The light circled above Master Ashen Pine before turning into a rainbow bridge that extended to the void ahead.
Master Ashen Pine suppressed the excitement in his heart and moved across the bridge. At the end of the rainbow there was a seven-colored vortex in the void. Master Ashen Pine walked into the vortex.
The vortex was filled with chaos and with seven-colored light. This light came from a giant, stone tablet. It gave off an indescribable pressure that made it feel like anyone who entered had to worship it!
Master Ashen Pine was no exception. He knelt there and began to mutter. Runes immediately appeared around him until they condensed around his eyes like a seal.
A moment later, he raised his head and looked at the stone tablet!
There was a skeleton at the bottom of the stone tablet. Only the upper half of the body remained, and its two hands were nailed onto the stone tablet with seven-colored nails.
It was the skeleton of a cultivator. In this world filled with seven-colored light, this skeleton didn’t change at all but instead gave off a black glow!
There were faint words engraved on the bones. These words were tiny and were densely packed all over the skeleton.
There was a circular formation several dozen feet wide, and there were countless runes carved into the circles in the formation. At the center of the formation, which was directly below the spine of the skeleton, there was a jade bottle.
When Master Ashen Pine’s gaze landed on the jade bottle, greed filled his eyes.
He knew that the words on the skeleton was the dao scripture, but he would never look at it. Everything he had said was merely to fool the old woman in green.
“Once you see the dao scripture, you become an Enlightened One. I’m living well, so why would I come here to die?” He licked his lips. His real purpose for coming here was the jade bottle under the skeleton!
At this moment, a flash of black light came from the spine of the skeleton and a drop of black, blood-like liquid came out. It landed in the jade bottle, causing a boom.
Master Ashen Pine charged at the skeleton and arrived next to it in an instant. His right hand immediately reached out for the jade bottle! However, just as his right hand touched the bottle, Master Ashen Pine’s body trembled and a large amount of white gas came from his body. The white gas was absorbed by the bottle.
However, Master Ashen Pine didn’t panic, as if he knew this was going to happen. His right hand reached to the side and his storage space opened. Origin souls began flying out of it.
In just a moment, more than 1,000 origin souls flew out. They were all sealed, and there was a thin line connecting them all together.
The moment these origin souls flew out, Master Ashen Pine recited a strange chat and his left hand grabbed an origin soul.
The origin soul immediately trembled and dissipated, but then another one began to tremble. In just 10 breaths of time, nearly 1,000 origin souls dissipated into white gas and were absorbed by the jade bottle.
At the same time, Master Ashen Pine bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a blood mist. Shortly after, four rays of light came out of his mouth and formed four, palm-sized, golden swords. They stabbed toward the circular formation around the bottle. The moment they landed, the blood mist entered the four swords. Popping sounds were heard when the four swords stabbed into four different parts of the formation.
Just at this instant, Master Ashen Pine let out a roar and lifted his right hand. He pulled up the jade bottle and quickly retreated.
He laughed like crazy and waved his left hand as he retreated. The four swords immediately flew out, but he didn’t collect them; he let them fly out to the seven-colored world.
“Fellow Cultivator Zhao, have you seen enough?”
The void twisted and the beautiful middle-aged woman appeared. Her hands formed a seal and countless restrictions appeared before her. The restrictions formed a vortex and stopped the four swords.
However, the four golden swords were extremely strange. The moment they touched the vortex, they melted into golden liquid and bypassed the restriction vortex. They then shot straight toward the woman in green.
The expression of the beautiful woman in green changed and she retreated once more. The golden liquid immediately shattered into countless drops of golden rain and rushed at the woman in green from all directions.
“Fellow Cultivator Zhao, although I don’t know how you escaped, you shouldn’t have followed! This is where the dao scripture is, so observe well!” Master Ashen Pine laughed like crazy. He was about to step out from the seven-colored world and return to the mountain using the rainbow.
Once he returned to the mountain, he would immediately leave this place. The crack on the restriction would soon heal and the beautiful woman in green would be trapped here forever! Only by giving up her body and comprehending the dao scripture would she be able to leave this place. But at that point, she would be no different from dead and would become one of the Enlightened Ones.
However, just at this moment, a cold snort appeared and a figure appeared before Master Ashen Pine. This person also wore green. It was the old woman in green!
Her appearance caused everything to become strange; even Master Ashen Pine was startled!
Two female cultivators named Zhao! However, one of them was a 40-year-old, beautiful, middle-aged woman, and the other was a wrinkle-filled old woman. However, one could tell that there was a shocking similarity between them!
“This is not an avatar! It’s the Yang Yin Ancestral Spell!” Master Ashen Pine’s expression changed and a thought flash through his mind. He had thought of an very old legend of a forbidden spell!
This spell was terrifying and went against morals. It was extremely difficult to cultivate, and until now, almost no one had succeeded in doing so. However, Master Ashen Pine had to believe it as there was someone before him who had cultivated this forbidden technique and reached the level of three ancestors!
The Yang Yin Ancestral Spell was for a female cultivators to get pregnant with a girl. Then this girl would grow up in the mother with a special spell to cause the mother and daughter to share the same body!
Later, the daughter would form a cultivation couple with someone else and get pregnant with a girl again. Then the three would use the special spell to fuse into one!
This was the method used to cause one’s cultivation level to increase greatly, and because it was the fusion of three souls, their divine senses would be extremely powerful!
Chapter 1191 – Heavenly Fate Appears Once More
The old woman in green didn’t explain but took a step forward and let out a cold snort. Her hands formed a seal and she inhaled, creating a powerful suction force. Master Ashen Pine was within the suction force, and he felt like all his life force was going to be sucked out.
But his expression immediately returned to normal. He sneered and held the jade bottle tighter. It couldn’t be placed inside his storage space, or else he would have already safely put it away.
He didn’t waste any time with the old woman and used his powerful cultivation to leave this place. Although he was shocked by the Ying Yang Ancestral Spell, he was confident in leaving.
At this moment, his left hand reached at the void and golden light appeared. The light transformed into tens of thousands of flying swords, and with a point of his finger, they flew toward the old woman in green.
At the same time, Master Ashen Pine hit his forehead with his left hand and a ray of red light flew out. The red light looked like a nascent soul, but if you looked closely, it was clearly not a nascent soul!
The little person let out a sharp shrill as the blood light wrapped around it and it charged straight at the old woman!
When the old woman saw the little person, her expression immediately changed. She waved her right hand and an ancient, copper bowl appeared. She immediately threw it forward.
The moment the copper bowl appeared, it began to spin and flew at the little person. The little person’s eyes released a blinding blood light, and it let out a scream that could shatter metal.
A rumble echoed and the copper bowl collapsed into countless fragments. At the same time, the countless goldens word flew toward the old woman in green along with the little person.
Time was of the essence, and Master Ashen Pine didn’t have time to deal with the old woman in green. Ripples appeared around him and he was about to leave.
However, just as he took half a step into the ripples, a withered arm stuck out from the void and reached at his right hand!
“It unexpectedly is the fourth ancestral realm!!” Master Ashen Pine’s pupils contracted, but it was too late to think. His left hand reached out at the withered arm and a thunderous rumble echoed. Master Ashen Pine groaned and his face immediately turned pale.
“Peak mid stage Nirvana Shatterer!”
Master Ashen Pine’s left arm felt numb and was completely black. Yellow liquid immediately secreted from his arm. He was poisoned! Borrowing the power of this force, he stepped into the ripples.
An even older woman stepped out from the ripples. She looked like she had stepped out from a coffin. She also wore green and had lost all her hair, making her look extremely terrifying!
Her eyes gave off a ghostly light as blood came out from the corner of her mouth. She waved her right hand, breaking the rain of golden swords, and grabbed the little person. After sealing it, she chased after Master Ashen Pine through the ripples.
Master Ashen Pine’s expression was pale. He didn’t think the old woman in green would have perfectly hid her cultivation level and managed to launch a sneak attack without him knowing. The old woman’s spell also contained a strange poison that was attempting to circulate through his entire body, but he forcibly suppressed it.
“As long as I can leave this crack, there will be no time limit. With my numerous magic treasures, this old woman isn’t my match!”
The moment Master Ashen Pine stepped out from the ripples, he wanted to leave, but the old woman immediately caught up. The two of them constantly attacked each other with spells, and a heaven-shaking rumble echoed across the mountain.
They were closing in on the crack in the black light restriction. At this moment, the crack was only 20 feet wide, and it was recovering even faster. Master Ashen Pine’s eyes lit up and he recited a strange chant.
The moment he did so, the seven-colored light in the sky flashed violently and descended from the sky. The seven rays of light turned into seven swords that shot at the old woman in green.
The old woman’s expression was gloomy as her hands formed a seal and a large, violent light shield appeared before her. The moment it appeared, an ancient aura appeared with it, and there was a hint of devilish energy inside!
The seven-colored light immediately collided with the shield and an even more violent rumble echoed. The old woman coughed out blood, but her expression became even more fierce. Her right hand hit her forehead, causing her body to shiver, and her origin soul flew out!
The moment her origin soul flew out, the old woman in green and the beautiful middle-aged woman in green who had just stepped out from the ripples also hit their foreheads. Their origin souls also flew out and they quickly fused together.
The three origin souls perfectly fused together in an instant and turned into a ray of light that shot toward Master Ashen Pine!
Master Ashen Pine’s expression became ferocious. He clenched his teeth as he moved the bottle to his left hand and waved his right. A bead immediately appeared in his right hand!
Without hesitation, Master Ashen Pine threw the bead at the old woman’s origin soul.
“Summon, Defying One!” Master Ashen Pine roared, and the bead gave off a ghostly light. It caused the seven-colored light to rush over and be absorbed by the bead.
Shortly after, the bead collapsed and a bolt of seven-colored lightning shot out toward the old woman’s origin soul.
At the same time, the old woman’s origin soul let out a screech and three restrictions flew out. The moment they appeared, the world changed colors and even the black light restriction trembled.
These three restrictions were extremely powerful existences among the Life and Death Restrictions.
“Life, life, death!” As her divine sense spread out, the three restrictions fused to form a destructive force that could destroy the heavens, and it collided with the seven-colored lightning.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The mountain trembled and a large portion of it began to collapse. The fog was pushed back and all the figures floating in the fog paused. All the Enlightened Ones floated toward the source of the rumble.
Under this powerful impact, the origin soul split into three. They were very transparent and quickly returned to their bodies. Master Ashen Pine didn’t expect her restrictions to be so powerful. His body was pushed back by the force and he coughed out blood.
His left hand was already being affected by a powerful poison. His flesh and blood had turned into yellow liquid and even his bones had begun to melt. Under this impact, his left arm was torn off and dissipated.
The jade bottle flew out under this impact and flew toward the crack that was now only 10 feet wide.
Master Ashen Pine’s eyes were bloodshot as he charged after the jade bottle. The old woman’s eyes lit up and she also charged at the crack.
Just at this instant, a white figure shot out and moved at the speed of a late stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivator. It moved past the old woman in green and Master Ashen Pine. It grabbed the bottle and without any hesitation rushed out of the crack.
The moment this person came out of the crack, his right hand push down at the crack and sent out a restriction. The speed at which the crack healed increased greatly.
“Lu Zihao!!” Master Ashen Pine was startled before letting out a roar, and he charged out from the crack. He was about to chase after the white figure.
However, the moment he stepped out from the crack, he stepped into the restrictions Wang Lin had set up earlier. A rumbling sound occurred as many restrictions were set off and caused Master Ashen Pine to pause for a moment.
The old woman’s three bodies fused into one and rushed out of the crack like a bolt of lightning. She chased after Wang Lin!
Wang Lin had completely hidden himself the moment he entered the crack. He had been hiding near the crack, waiting for a chance. This place was very strange; it was impossible to spread out your divine sense too far inside the black light restriction. As a result, he had the perfect opportunity to hide himself.
At this moment, he was holding the jade bottle and quickly charging through the fog. The strange muttering sounds continued to enter his ears. At this moment, shadowy figures floated toward him and passed by.
The old woman in green was chasing closely behind, but with two speed talismans, Wang Lin’s speed was unimaginable. As they moved, the distance between them gradually grew wider.
“You deserve to die for stealing my belongings!” The old woman in green revealed a vicious gaze. She waved her hand and a poison mist immediately appeared. In the blink of an eye, the image of a poisonous scorpion appeared in the seven-colored sky.
The poisonous scorpion was tens of thousands of feet large. Its tail lashed out, creating an afterimage as it shot at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin suddenly turned around and a cold light appeared in his eyes. He raised his left hand and threw a punch at the scorpion’s tail! There was an earth-shattering rumble, and the scorpion tail trembled and immediately collapsed.
Just at this moment, Master Ashen Pine also ran out, and his eyes were bloodshot. He took out another bead and ignored the heartache he felt. He threw it and shouted, “Summon, Defying One!”
After he spoke, all the seven-colored light in the world quickly gathered toward the bead and rushed inside. Then the bead suddenly collapsed.
The moment it collapsed, the seven-colored light in the world flashed violently and ripples echoed. Seven-colored light gathered quickly within the ripple until a giant finger was formed!
“Heavenly Fate Finger!!” This place is indeed related to the All-Seer! When Wang Lin saw the giant finger in the sky, his pupils shrank for a moment.
The giant finger seemed to have absorbed a large portion of the seven-colored light in the sky, causing the sky to dim. A thunderous roar echoed as it descended toward the escaping Wang Lin as if it wanted to crush him!
The eyes of the old woman in green shined as her hands formed a seal before pointing to between her eyebrows. Three restrictions immediately flew out. They were the three powerful restrictions from before that were the peak of the Life and Death Restrictions!
“Life, death, life!” The old woman’s hoarse voice echoed and the three restrictions fused together into a life and death restriction energy. It contained the essence of life and death as it shot toward Wang Lin.
Chapter 1192 – Trident
While Wang Lin moved, he tried to store the bottle in his storage space, but something very strange happened. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t put it in his storage space. Wang Lin was actually prepared for this because if it could really be put into the storage space, then there would’ve been no need for Master Ashen Pine to be holding it.
He moved like a bolt of lightning under the effect of the two speed talismans and shot straight ahead.
The giant finger formed by the seven-colored light descended with an earth-shattering roar. It got closer and closer to Wang Lin!
The old woman’s three Life and Death Restrictions were chasing closely after.
Under the combined attacks of the two powerful mid stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivators, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. Since he had dared to steal food from the mouth of the tiger, he was confident in holding them off.
Wang Lin suddenly turned and his figure began to swell. A dense ancient god aura filled this seven-colored world. Then ripples appeared around his body as he grew to 100 feet, 500 feet, 1,000 feet… In the blink of an eye, he turned into a 3,000-foot-tall titan!
Five clear ancient god stars rotated rapidly between his eyebrows, and a sixth star began to appear. The skin on his large body was rough and formed a rune-like texture.
His giant-like body would cause anyone who saw it to feel a sense of fear from their soul!
Master Ashen Pine’s pupils shrank. He had never seen this kind of spell, and his mind was startled.
The old woman’s eyes shined brightly and were filled with disbelief.
Wang Lin didn’t hesitate to turn into his true ancient god body. He turned around, looked up at the sky, and directly punched at the descending heavenly fate finger.
This was a true punch of an ancient god, and its power could shock the world. This punch was done when Wang Lin was in the form of a true ancient god, so it also contained a heaven-defying will.
The thunderous rumble quickly echoed as Wang Lin’s giant fist collided with the heavenly fate finger. An indescribable impact spread along with the fierce rumble.
The heavenly fate finger began to collapse and dissipate as the powerful force collided with it. Countless specks of seven-colored light scattered and it collapsed even faster. The whole finger unexpectedly disintegrated under a thunderous rumble, and the countless specks of seven-colored light filled the world.
All of this happened in a flash. Wang Lin’s body trembled, and he borrowed the force to leap with this 3,000 feet body. He crossed an immeasurable distance in one leap and arrived at the foot of the wall-like mountain. Without hesitating, he kicked off the ground and jumped over the mountain before him!
The Life and Death Restriction quickly followed and arrived near Wang Lin in the blink of an eye.
Wang Lin was currently above the mountain, and his right hand reached at the void. A giant crack appeared, seeming like he had torn the seven-colored world apart.
A giant trident that was completely black appeared from the crack. This trident was about 4,000 feet long and pierced the sky. The moment it appeared, an earth-shaking aura spread out.
Dense ancient god aura filled the area as Wang Lin grabbed the trident and swept it before his body. Three black lines appeared across the tip of the trident as if the world was being split open.
Holding the trident, Wang Lin stood like a god on top of the mountain. He swept at the restriction with the trident.
The restriction closed in and instantly split into three. It was about to charge at Wang Lin, but at this moment, the trident swept by. The ancient god power inside Wang Lin’s body rushed into the trident. The trident released a black light and swept across the restriction.
A thunderous rumble echoed as the three parts of the restriction were cut in half. The black light from the trident became even more intense and turned into three dragons that devoured the restriction. After devouring it, the trident trembled and three marks appeared on it.
It looked as if Wang Lin was holding three black dragons. These dragons were extremely fierce and continued to roar as they twisted their bodies. They revealed monstrous gazes toward Master Ashen Pine and the old woman in green.
Wang Lin’s gaze fell on the two people chasing after him. When his gaze swept by, it was as if an icy wind had pierced their bodies and made your their bodies feel a sudden chill.
“Anyone can take the heavenly treasure. What is this stealing you speak of? If the two of you continue, then like the heavenly finger and the restriction, I’ll slaughter you both!” Wang Lin’s words echoed as he turned and shot off into the distance.
This scene caused Master Ashen Pine and the old woman in green to gasp!
“This… This is…” Master Ashen Pine’s mind trembled and couldn’t calm down for a long time. He had cultivated for a very long time and knew of many body refining techniques, but none could produce such a large body. What shocked him the most was that he didn’t feel like the body was fake, it was very real!
The old woman in green’s face was a bit pale as she stared at the giant figure that was about to disappear over the mountain. She clenched her teeth and gave chase.
Although Master Ashen Pine was shocked, he had prepared for 1,000 years and had spent a lot of treasures for this. He wasn’t willing to just let it be taken from him! At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot and he also gave chase. His right hand pointed at his left shoulder several times and a new arm formed from the seven-colored light.
Wang Lin’s figure leaped over the mountain and didn’t pause as he moved further away. In just a moment, he arrived at the valley where he had placed the restriction.
He crossed it with one step and was about to charge ahead.
Just at this instant, the old woman chasing after him revealed a vicious gaze. Her hands formed a seal and she pointed at the restriction she had left behind here earlier.
The grass under Wang Lin immediately withered and black ashes flew into the sky. They turned into a giant vortex and were about to surround Wang Lin.
Wang Lin let out a muffled groan as he collided with the restriction and struggled to get through. The vortex formed by the black ashes chased after wang Lin.
At the same time, the old woman’s eyes revealed a strange light and she sped up. She jumped off the mountain and instantly closed in. She entered the restriction in the valley.
Master Ashen Pine was behind and quickly followed, but his eyes lit up, He hesitated for a moment outside the restriction in the valley and didn’t fully enter.
It wasn’t that he had seen through its weakness, but he was cautious of the old woman in green.
Just as the old woman in green entered the restriction, Wang Lin suddenly turned around and pointed at the vortex. The black vortex suddenly turned around and shot toward the old woman in green.
Shortly after, countless restriction lights lit up in the valley the old woman was in. These lights were blinding, and the thunderous rumble was enough to shake one’s heart!
Countless restrictions appeared from the ground and immediately surrounded the old woman. At a glance, there were tens of thousands of them!
These restrictions gave off a ghostly light. After fusing the Life and Death Restriction and Annihilation Restriction, their power was earth-shattering. The moment Wang Lin activated them, all of them rushed toward the old woman.
There was also that black vortex. It instantly shrouded the area, making it impossible to see inside. However, the thunderous roars and muffle groans of the old woman could be heard clearly.
At this moment, the earth trembled and the old woman’s angry roars became even more intense, and there were flashes of blood red light inside the vortex. The roars continued. It was clear that it was difficult for her to leave. She was in a life or death crisis.
This scene caused Master Ashen Pine’s expression to change greatly. With his wisdom, he immediately realized that this restriction was placed by the old woman but was taken over by Wang Lin. Wang Lin had led her into this killing formation!
“This person is also proficient in restrictions!” Master Ashen Pine looked at the restriction that had completely trapped the old woman. He could clearly feel the power of the restriction. He took a deep breath, but he didn’t give up on fighting for the jade bottle.
“Old Woman Zhao being trapped is good for me. As long as I kill that person named Lu, I can take back the jade. With my understanding of this place, no one can find me!” There was a flash of killing intent in Master Ashen Pine’s eyes, and he made a decision instantly. He moved around the restrictions outside the valley and his hands formed a seal. Tens of thousands specks of golden light appeared and all shot at Wang Lin.
There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin’s eyes. He had been waiting for this chance. He couldn’t battle two mid stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivators at once. He had to injure or trap one of them before he could be safe to battle!
Master Ashen Pine was malicious even back on Peng Lai. Seeing the spell closing in, Wang Lin let out a cold snort and waved the trident in his hand. The three dragons roared and the rain of swords was knocked into the sky. They weren’t able to close in on Wang Lin.
Master Ashen Pine’s eyes revealed a vicious gaze and reached out at the void. A crack to this storage space opened and a flying sword flew out.
This sword was crystal clear, and the moment it appeared, the aura of a Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure surrounded the area.
Wang Lin’s pupils shrank.
Just at this moment, Master Ashen Pine let out a roar and threw the crystal sword. The sword let out a heaven-shattering roar as it flew toward Wang Lin.
His first real battle with a mid stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivator made Wang Lin excited. He didn’t retreat and instead swept the trident forward. The three dragons unexpectedly flew out from the trident and attempted to devour the crystal sword.
What was even more strange was that the three marks that had formed after devouring the Life and Death Restriction shined. They flew out and fused with the three black dragons. This caused the aura of Life and Death Restriction to suddenly appear.
This was the true power of the trident!
Chapter 1193 – A Bloody Battle Against Master Ashen Pine!
It could devour all spells in the world for its own use; this was the ancient god treasure that ancient god Tu Si refined back then. Tu Si was extremely satisfied with this treasure, but it was lacking a spirit, so he turned it into a mountain and threw it on a planet. He hoped to use time to condense a spirit for it. After he finished his technique, this would be a treasure that would be on par with his God Slaying Spear!
However, it was unfortunate that Tu Si failed and this trident was lost in the flow of time.
After the All-Seer obtained it, he could use its power, but he couldn’t activate its ability. Only an ancient god could use its ability!
Although Wang Lin’s cultivation level was below the All-Seer’s, he was an ancient god. After experiencing the first trial and two calamities, he was now a true ancient god. With the trident in hand, he could display its spell-devouring ability!
The three dragons were the devouring dragons. The Life and Death Restriction was devoured and became a spell of the trident. The restriction flew out and fused with the black dragons as they rushed at the Pseudo Nirvana Void crystal sword.
This crystal sword was very powerful among the treasures that Master Ashen Pine had. The reason he had taken it out was to quickly kill Wang Lin. As it flew across the sky, it seemed like it could slice the world in half.
The black dragons immediately closed in on the crystal sword. A thunderous rumble echoed as the three dragons opened their mouths and devoured the crystal sword.
At the same time, the three black dragons’ bodies trembled. A roar came from one of the dragons, but it didn’t explode. It struggled to return to Wang Lin along with the other two dragons, and they turned back into the trident.
There was a faint, crystal glow on the trident’s body, then an imprint of the crystal sword slowly appeared on it.
Master Ashen Pine’s expression changed, but he quickly charged forward. His right hand formed a seal and pointed forward. A flash of light appeared before him and instantly changed into endless sword energy. The sword energy filled the sky and shot at Wang Lin.
Shortly after, his right hand reached at his storage bag and three beads appeared. He threw them and shouted, “Summon, Defying One!”
All the seven-colored light in the world gathered once more and surged into the three beads. As popping sounds echoed, one of the beads quickly collapsed.
The moment it collapsed, it turned into a blurry shadow in the sky. It was impossible to see clearly what the shadow was, but a sword might enveloped the world.
The shadow lifted its right hand and pointed at Wang Lin! With one finger, all the seven-colored light gathered and a ray of seven-colored sword energy that could pierce the world shot at Wang Lin.
Shortly after, another bead collapsed. The earth trembled and a large part of the wall-like mountain range collapsed. A stone giant walked out from the mountains, each step causing the ground to shake. The stone giant was draped in the seven-colored light and charged at Wang Lin.
At this moment, the third bead exploded. The seven-colored light gathered like crazy and turned into a giant compass. This compass was ethereal, and it rapidly rotated to create a powerful pressure.
The moment he started attacking, he used all his killing aces. He obviously wanted to kill Wang Lin quickly. His right hand formed a seal and pointed to between his eyebrows, then his face turned red and another ray of blood light flew out.
There was something like a nascent soul inside the blood light. It was exactly the same as the thing that attacked the old woman in green!
This nascent soul released a fierce scream and charged toward Wang Lin in a blood red glow. It contained an unspeakable ferociousness on its face.
All of this happened in an instant. The moment the trident returned to Wang Lin, Master Ashen Pine’s killing move arrived. He was at the mid stage of Nirvana Shatterer, so his dense origin energy allowed his spells and magic treasures to have shocking power.
Wang Lin’s expression was calm and his eyes were filled with battle intent. He grabbed the trident and threw it into the sky at the compass. From Wang Lin’s point of view, this was the most dangerous item!
Shortly after, his right hand formed a seal and pointed forward. The seven-colored sky was covered in a roaring, black wind. A number of black dragons formed, but they didn’t scatter. Instead, they all shot toward the blurry, seven-colored figure in the sky.
After Call the Wind came Summon the Rain. Wang Lin waved his sleeves and thousands of drops of crystal rain appeared. They quickly shot at the immeasurable sword energy Master Ashen Pine had shot out, and a portion of them went after the stone giant.
Popping sounds echoed as Wang Lin walked forward and his right hand formed a fist. He threw a punch at the incoming seven-colored sword energy.
A thunderous rumble echoed. The seven-colored sword energy trembled and six of the colors collapsed. Only the blue light hot out and drilled into Wang Lin’s right hand.
Wang Lin’s body trembled as he felt a crazed aura rush into his body from his arm, causing him to let out a groan. His left hand formed a seal and pointed at the void, then he opened his mouth to allow the Celestial Sealing Stamp to fly out. The moment it appeared, battle souls came out one by one!
Master Void, the All-Seer, and Wu Qing all appeared and charged at the ferocious-looking blood nascent soul.
In addition, a large amount of battle souls walked out from the Celestial Sealing Stamp. There were celestials, Allheaven Cultivators, and Alliance Cultivators. This immediately caused a violent aura to envelope the area.
This scene caused Master Ashen Pine to suck in a breath of cold air. He thought that he had overestimated Wang Lin, but just the few treasures Wang Lin had shown were enough to terrify ordinary cultivators.
A thunderous rumble echoed in the seven-colored world. The trident rushed at the compass in the sky, but when it was seven inches away, it was stopped by a seven-colored light screen.
The three dragons on the trident devoured the light screen like crazy and continued to close in.
The blurry figure that was also floating in the sky gradually dissipated under the impact of the black dragons formed by Call the Wind.
Even farther away, the stone giant was covered in countless layers of ice under the assault of the countless raindrops. Before it could even get close, it turned into a giant ice sculpture.
The blood nascent soul-like thing screamed under assault of the souls of the old monsters. It tried to escape, but it couldn’t get out. What was worth Wang Lin’s attention was the All-Seer’s soul. The moment it appeared, its eyes were filled with confusion. It didn’t follow the order of Magic Arsenal to attack but instead stared at the sky.
Wang Lin didn’t have time to pay attention to the All-Seer’s soul. He rushed out and his hand reached at the void. Countless bolts of lightning appeared. It looked like Wang Lin had grabbed lightning.
The endless lightning condensed and turned into an ethereal spear. This was the illusion of the God Slaying Spear. He mercilessly threw the spear, and it shot at the huge compass in the sky, breaking all obstacles in its path.
Wang Lin didn’t stop there. He charged forward and his right hand mercilessly pressed down. His huge palm descended from the sky as two fingers from his left hand quickly pressed down on the back of his right hand.
The origin energy surged from the seven-colored world and rushed into his right hand. A giant illusionary handprint appeared before his right hand and descended on Master Ashen Pine.
Master Ashen Pine’s eyes were bloodshot and revealed a hint of madness. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. He waved his right hand and his expression became ferocious. Seven nascent souls immediately appeared, and they all let out mournful cries. In the blink of an eye, a lightning mark appeared before Master Ashen Pine.
The moment the lightning mark appeared, the entire world darkened. It was as if all the light in the world was absorbed by this lightning mark.
“Using the blood of hundred origins to exchange for the 7th spirit of the Sealed Realm!” Master Ashen Pine roared as the lightning mark flashed. At this moment, Wang Lin’s palm descended on the lightning mark.
A thunderous rumble echoed and the palm collapsed. The moment it collapsed, a ray of lightning shot out toward Wang Lin. It was so fast that Wang Lin didn’t have time to dodge at all. It landed on his chest.
Wang Lin’s body trembled and was knocked back several steps. For the first time, ancient god blood came flowed out from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were fierce.
His right hand reached at the void and an iron sword appeared. It circled his palm once as if it was locking onto a target and shot at Master Ashen Pine.
Master Ashen Pine’s left hand waved at his storage space and a seven-colored nail appeared! This was exactly the same as the one that had pierced the skeleton with the dao scripture engraved on its bones!
“Die for this old man!” Master Ashen Pine waved his hand and the seven-colored nail shot at the iron sword. This nail contained an unimaginable pressure; it was actually stronger than Pseudo Nirvana Void treasures!
In an instant, the nail collided with the iron sword. Crackling sounds echoed, and the iron sword cracked down the middle and split in half!
The seven-colored nail shattered the iron sword and directly embedded itself into Wang Lin’s right shoulder!
An intense pain washed through Wang Lin’s body, causing him to tremble. At the same time, although the sword was split, the tip of the sword penetrated Master Ashen Pine’s chest and inserted itself into the ground.
Master Ashen Pine coughed out blood. He was seriously injured as he turned around and charged at the wall-like mountains! Wang Lin’s body trembled violently. The seven-colored nail seemed to be able to piece his origin soul. His eyes became confused and his body rapidly shrank; he was about to turn to the size of an ordinary person.
He clenched his teeth as he stared at the escaping Master Ashen Pine that was constantly coughing out blood. The War Spirit Print appeared in his mind and he ferociously pushed his palm forward!
The War Spirit Print appeared, and the world stirred. When it got near Master Ashen Pine, he used some unknown spell that caused his body to collapse into seven-colored fog. He was able to escape death as the seven-colored fog wrapped around his origin soul and disappeared over the other side of the mountain.
Wang Lin coughed out blood and his body returned to normal. He retrieved all his treasures and didn’t even bother looking at the old woman trapped inside the restriction before he quickly left. His face was pale and a large amount of blood was flowing out of his shoulder. His battle against Master Ashen Pine had resulted in both of them being seriously injured!
The giant compass in the sky slowly moved and chased after Wang Lin.
Chapter 1194 – Shattering the Compass
Wang Lin’s face was pale without a trace of blood. The blood at the corner of his mouth made a shocking contrast. He put away all his treasures, including the split iron sword, and retreated into the distance. The blood nascent souls Master Ashen Pine had sent out couldn’t escape and were captured by Wang Lin’s battle souls.
His vision was a blur and the feeling of drowsiness filled his whole body while intense pain came from his right shoulder. He was alternating between passing out and being awake. In his eyes, it looked like there were multiple roads before him.
The giant compass moved in the sky. It was locked onto Wang Lin and kept moving with him.
As it rapidly rotated, a powerful pressure appeared and locked onto the escaping Wang Lin. Wang Lin was very weak, and under this pressure, he almost staggered.
Just at this moment, a loud rumble came from the compass, and it rotated even faster. Seven-colored light gathered in the compass like crazy, and soon, countless seven-colored runes appeared around the compass.
A sense of danger spread in Wang Lin’s heart. At this moment of danger, Wang Lin mercilessly bit his tongue to become sober. Just at this moment, the countless runes descended from the compass.
The moment the runes fell, Wang Lin clenched his teeth and his left hand reached at the void, grabbing the trident. The runes whistled through the sky and fell like rain.
A thunderous rumble echoed, and Wang Lin coughed out blood. Many of the runes landed on Wang Lin’s body, leaving deep imprints, and each mark caused Wang Lin’s body to tremble.
His eyes were filled with madness. This was Wang Lin’s character. The more critical the moment, the more dangerous it was, the more calm he was, but with a hint of madness.
Calmness and madness weren’t contradictory. Calm judgement, but crazy actions!
The compass had to be destroyed, or else it would continue to chase Wang Lin and bring him danger. Also, with this thing following him around, Wang Lin would be at the mercy of the two enemies in this place!
As Wang Lin’s left hand held the trident, the madness in his eyes became even stronger. He knew he didn’t have much sober time left. As his injuries grew worse, he could lose his consciousness at any time. He had to break this compass and find place to heal.
Time was of the essence. Wang Lin took a deep breath and battle intent filled his eyes. Fire filled his left eye and the red Vermillion Bird Armor appeared around Wang Lin. At the same time, thunder flashed in his right eye and made the area within 10,000 feet of him a thunder lake.
The thunder rumbled as the lightning snaked across the earth. Popping sounds came from the earth as lightning travelled along it. The remnants of his ancient god power left his right hand and gathered in the trident in his left arm.
At this instant, a thunderous roar that defied the heavens echoed and Wang Lin jumped off the ground! A sea of flames suddenly appeared and a Vermillion Bird appeared around Wang Lin. It was as if Wang Lin had taken control of all the fire in the world and charged at the compass!
The moment he charged out, the thunder rumbled and flew into the air along with Wang Lin. The thunder rose up with Wang Lin and formed a thunder mountain.
A mountain made of thunder!
Wang Lin was at the peak of the mountain! The thunder mountain grew and eventually condensed outside of Wang Lin’s body. It was as if Wang Lin had absorbed the thunder mountain.
With the power of thunder and fire, Wang Lin was like a meteor covered in thunder and fire. He held the trident as he charged forward, searching for his own heaven-defying cultivation path!
His speed became faster and faster. The moment the countless runes appeared around the compass, he closed in. The sound of him breaking through the sky became louder and louder until it was an earth-shattering roar.
“Nine Mysterious Transformation!” Wang Lin’s eyes were bloodshot as he unexpectedly split into nine parts and then fused back into one. An aura far more powerful than before descended on Wang Lin’s body in this Seven-Colored Realm!
The cry of the Vermillion Bird echoed, and Wang Lin’s figure was dazzling as he charged at the compass. He moved faster than before and smashed into the compass. A thunderous rumble echoed like crazy. The rotating compass trembled and began to collapse. At first it was just a few cracks, but soon they spread until it was completely covered in cracks.
Then, with a bang, it was torn apart!
As the countless fragments scattered, a red figure flew out from the collapsed compass. It didn’t even look back before it disappeared over the horizon.
Although this figure had dissipated, the sound of the compass collapsing echoed across the entire Seven-Colored Realm. On the outer region, a large amount of fog beasts rapidly condensed and looked at the direction where this earth-shattering sound had come from.
The numerous Lost Ones wandering around all stopped. They raised their heads and looked at the direction of the sound with confused expressions. The boy named Duanmu was one of them.
There was a hidden cave in a mountain on the outer region of the seven-colored realm. There was a burly man sitting inside the cave. His face was pale and there was still blood scattered over his clothes. His eyes suddenly opened and the rumble and fluctuations he felt made him gasp.
He was Chen Tianjun!
The old woman was trapped inside the restriction outside the valley and couldn’t escape in a short period of time. She had to withstand the constant attacks of the restrictions and her face was pale, but her eyes were filled with unwillingness. Her hands kept forming seals and sending out restrictions to resist, but the power of the restrictions here was far beyond her imagination. The Life and Death Restriction had completely fused with the Annihilation restriction, so she could no longer control it. She was constantly being attacked and her injuries were getting worse as time went by.
The moment the heaven-shaking rumble came, the old woman suddenly looked up, bewildered and uncertain.
This rumble echoed across the Seven-Colored Realm and passed through the wall-like mountain range. It travelled through the fog, causing the fog to rumble. The large amount of Enlightened Ones stopped chanting for the first time and looked over in a daze.
Inside the fog, between the eyebrows of the huge statue with a lightning mark on its forehead, there was a cloud of seven-colored fog. Master Ashen Pine’s weakened origin soul was sitting here healing. The moment that rumble arrived, he suddenly looked up and was filled with shock!
This time he was truly shocked!
He had already predicted that Wang Lin would be powerful, but he had never thought Wang Lin would be able to match him and cause them both to become seriously injured. Thinking back to all the treasures he had used, he felt his heart bleed, especially those three beads. Losing them really stung his heart, and the crystal sword as well. However, compared to the seven-colored nail, these things were truly insignificant.
Thinking about the seven-colored nail, Master Ashen Pine felt like his origin soul was about to collapse. That nail was the most powerful treasure he had, and it was his hidden ace. However, even after he took it out, he couldn’t kill that cultivator named Lu. He had even lost his own body and almost died.
The reason he escaped, aside from him being too weak to keep fighting, was that he was sure Wang Lin would die. Being that seriously injured meant that Wang Lin couldn’t possibly escape the compass spell formed by the bead.
Once Wang Lin died, he could control the compass to bring the body back and absorb the origin soul. After his injuries recovered, he could easily obtain everything.
However, the roar and the sensation of his connection to it being cut off shocked Master Ashen Pine, and he began to ponder.
“Even with injuries that severe, he was still able to break the spell on the compass…” For the first time, Master Ashen Pine felt fearful of Wang Lin.
The mountain where Master Ashen Pine was at was not the true center of the Seven-Colored Realm like he had said. Even deeper, at the edge of the true center of the Seven-Colored Realm, there was a valley submerged in fog. Master Cloud Soul was sitting there with a pale face, and he didn’t dare to move an inch.
Wang Lin’s divine sense became blurry as he quickly moved forward. However, he clenched his teeth to keep a trace of sanity. His vision gradually dimmed as he rushed into a deserted valley and into a deserted cave. He only had time to open his storage space to allow the woman in silver and Xu Luguo to come out before he fell on the ground and passed out.
Xu Liguo had completed had his task when Wang Lin was killing Noble Money and had been put away by Wang Lin. Now that he had come, he was about to boast, but he immediately saw that Wang Lin’s eyes were closed and that his face was ashen gray. His eyes couldn’t help but turn.
However, just at this moment, a cold snort appeared. Xu Liguo’s body trembled and he immediately revealed a look of flattery. He already knew how powerful this silver female corpse was, so he wouldn’t dare to offend her.
“Guard!” the woman in silver said in a cold voice, then she sat down next to Wang Lin. When she looked at Wang Lin, there was a hint of confusion and tenderness in her eyes.
Xu Liguo quickly agreed. After he noticed that the woman in silver was no longer paying attention to him and was only looking at the fiend, he began to pretend like he was guarding. However, he was secretly complaining in his heart.
“What’s good-looking about that fiend? It is your Grandpa Xu who is suave, graceful, handsome, and beautiful. Alas, I’m just too eye-catching, and I’m completely helpless about it…” Xu Liuo was sighing in his heart and revealed a very regretful expression.
Chapter 1195 – Seven-Colored Nail
The woman in silver withdrew her gaze after a long time, and the confusion in her eyes became even stronger. She vaguely seemed to remember something, but it was very vague. She lifted her jade-like hand and waved it according to her fuzzy memories. There was a faint flash of a ghostly light and a restriction landed on the entrance of the cave.
If Wang Lin was awake and saw this, his eyes would narrow. This restriction was the Life and Death Restriction! This technique was far above what the old woman had made, extremely skillful.
Wang Lin wasn’t in a coma for too long. After a few hours, he opened his eyes, and when he saw the entrance, he was startled. He looked at the woman in silver but didn’t ask. Instead, he sat down and began to cultivate.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, three days went by.
During these three days, the outside world was calm without the slightest fluctuation. It was as if all the cultivators in the Seven-Colored Realm were recovering as much as possible.
After three days, not only did Wang Lin’s complexion not recover, he became even more pale. There was a faint, seven-colored glow coming from his right shoulder. The wound had healed, but the nail was still impaled in his bone. The seven-colored nail made his bones constantly shatter, but due to his powerful ancient god vitality, the shattered bone was quickly recovering.
This repeated endlessly and brought Wang Lin intense pain.
What was even more serious was that not only was the seven-colored nail embedded into his bones, it also felt like it had penetrated into Wang Lin’s origin soul. His origin soul was sluggish and weak.
If that was it, it wouldn’t have been an issue, but Wang Lin was shocked to find that the seven-colored nail was constantly draining his vitality. It was if it wouldn’t stop until it had drained all his vitality.
“What kind of treasure is this to have the power to even break the Pseudo Nirvana Void sword in half?” Wang Lin’s heart ached. The iron sword had been with him for many years and had been extremely useful, but now it was broken.
“There were also the beads that Master Ashen Pine threw out. Each of them could summon a spell in this Seven-Colored World. They are very strange. Even the Heavenly Fate Finger appeared from one…” As Wang Lin endured the pain, he began to ponder.
He thought about when the All-Seer’s battle soul appeared and looked at the sky in confusion.
“This place must be connected to the All-Seer…”
After pondering a bit, there was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin’s eyes.
“However, Master Ashen Pine is also seriously injured. His body collapsed under the War Spirit Print and only his origin soul escaped. He was also seriously injured by the iron sword and has consumed a lot of his treasures. I must recover as soon as possible, and the next time we meet, he will undoubtedly die!
“There is also that old woman in green who was trapped inside the restriction. Even though she is proficient in the Life and Death Restriction, with my Annihilation Restriction mixed in, it won’t be simple for her to come out. Even if she breaks out by force, she will be seriously injured!
“There is also Master Cloud Soul. When he was teleported here, he was teleported to a random location, but I don’t know where. However, this place is filled with danger, and being randomly transported here is very dangerous. It is likely he can’t even fend for himself right now.
“These three were all done in by me, but that Chen Tianjun left early. Although we felt his spells dissipate before, it is difficult to prove he is dead…”
Everyone here was scheming against each other, and no one wanted the others to leave here with the treasure. This was what they called “even though a person doesn’t want to harm a tiger, a tiger would still want to harm the person.” If you continue to be passive, you will only end up being schemed against. Wang Lin’s eyes lit up, he had long since seen through all of this. This was why he acted first and forced Master Cloud Soul to teleport to another location. Then he trapped the old woman in the restriction so he could have a battle against Master Ashen Pine.
While pondering, intense pain came from his right shoulder and sweat came from his forehead. He revealed a decisive gaze and swiped his left hand over his right shoulder. A wound immediately appeared and continued to expand until it revealed the seven-colored nail embedded in his bones.
In an instant, the seven-colored light covered the entire cave. Xu Liguo licked his lips as he looked at Wang Lin and thought, “The fiend is indeed a fiend. Not only is he ruthless to others, he’s also ruthless to himself.”
After taking a deep breath, Wang Lin clenched his teeth, reached for the seven-colored nail, and mercilessly pulled with a roar! Intense pain came over his body. Wang Lin let out a muffled groan and sweat soaked his clothes. His body trembled and he was unable to pull it out!
This nail seemed to have merged with his bone; it was impossible to tell it wasn’t part of it! What was even more strange was that the seven-colored light seemed to have entered his bone. The bone of his right shoulder seemed to have become seven-colored.
Wang Lin’s face was pale. The moment the seven-colored light entered his body, his mind went blank. There was a hint of him going mad.
Although this feeling disappeared in just a moment, it made Wang Lin gasp.
At that moment, the madness was completely out of his control. It was as if his mind had fallen down many layers of hell and was sealed inside. He was no longer himself…
Looking at his right shoulder, the seven-colored nail had shrunk by half.
Wang Lin stared at the seven-colored nail. He had a feeling that if the nail disappeared completely, his bones would turn completely seven-colored. At that time… the madness wouldn’t just be for a moment, but permanent.
“What kind of magic treasure is this?!” The wound on Wang Lin’s right shoulder quickly healed and disappeared, covering up the seven-colored nail.
After silently looked at the healing wound, Wang Lin closed his eyes and his origin soul began to struggle. Since he couldn’t take it out using external force, he was going to try using his origin energy and ancient god power to force it out.
Time passed and another three days went by. Wang Lin opened his eyes. With his cultivation level, he could only suppress it. He couldn’t force out the seven-colored light, much less the nail.
“If I can only suppress it, then it is not the end. Now I just need help… If there are enough helpers, I should be able to force the seven-colors and the nail out!” Wang Lin silently looked at the jade bottle. This was Master Ashen Pine’s ultimate goal for coming to the Seven-Colored Realm.
Holding the bottle, Wang Lin’s divine sense spread out. The bottle was half-filled with black liquid. It looked like blood but didn’t give off the smell of blood.
“Once I obtain Master Ashen Pine’s origin soul, I’ll know exactly what this is. If I’m not mistaken, this should be related to helping him increase his cultivation level.” He put the jade bottle in his clothes, stood up, and looked at the Life and Death Restriction at the entrance of the cave. Then he looked at the woman in silver.
“You know the Life and Death Restriction?”
The woman in silver pondered. After a long time, she whispered, “There are… There are some memories…”
“Open the restriction.” Wang Lin nodded slightly.
The woman in silver walked next to the entrance of the cave and her jade-like hand gently slapped it. The restriction slowly dissipated and not a trace of it remained.
Wang Lin didn’t ask and waved his sleeves. Xu Liguo was about to speak, but before he could open his mouth, he was put into the storage space along with the woman in silver.
After leaving the cave, Wang Lin took a deep breath as he endured the pain in his right shoulder and rushed out. He wasn’t going to the depths of the Seven-Colored Realm, but the outer mountain range beyond the valley.
That place was filled with mountain peaks with fierce fog beasts.
These fierce beast were the helpers Wang Lin had thought of!
He quickly flew through many valleys as he travelled along the path he came, heading toward the outer region of the Seven-Colored Realm. Soon, he saw the tunnel leading to outside and looked up. His eyes lit up as he stared at the dense fog at the peak.
He carefully went over the plan in his head and then revealed a decisive gaze. Although this trip was dangerous, if it could force out the seven-colored nail, it would all be worth it!
“Let’s see how strong my ancient god body is!” Wang Lin’s body turned into a ray of light and shot at the peak of the mountain.
Before he got close, a roar came from the fog and a giant, 1,000-foot-tall eagle rushed out from the fog. It roared as it shot at Wang Lin, and the fog followed it.
It was too fast and instantly closed in. The eagle charged and rammed into Wang Lin. Wang Lin didn’t dodge; he used his body to resist it instead!
The person and eagle quickly closed in and collided with each other. There was a thunderous rumble and Wang Lin took several steps back. He didn’t even try to reduce the impact, and all the force rushed into his right shoulder. This caused the seven-colored glow from his right shoulder to intensify until it penetrated his skin. From away, it looked like Wang Lin was covered in seven-colored light.
The eagle beast let out an angry roar and was also knocked back. It circled once in the sky and rushed at Wang Lin once more.
Wang Lin’s mind trembled, but he didn’t stop. He charged at the fog once more. At this moment, as the roar echoed, another eagle rushed out from the fog. This one was also 1,000 feet tall, and the two eagles formed two rays of black light that shot at Wang Lin.
Popping sounds echoed and Wang Lin felt like countless mountains were smashing into him. His face became even more pale and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes became brighter!
These two fierce beasts were both rank 12, and their impact was extremely powerful. However, Wang Lin passed all the impact to his right shoulder. Even if his body got seriously injured, he was going to force the seven-colored light out no matter what!
Half his body was covered in seven-colored light. With Wang Lin’s method, it was as if the two eagle beasts were helping him force the seven-colored light out. As the seven-colored light flashed, it gathered toward his right shoulder.
There was a flash of black light as the two eagle beasts continued to attack Wang Lin’s body. His injuries became worse and blood flew out from his mouth, but his face was filled with ecstasy.
As long as the root wasn’t injured, an ancient god body could immediately recover. Even if he were to sustain serious injuries, Wang Lin wouldn’t care as long as he could force the seven-colored nail out. He rushed toward the top of the mountain.
At this moment, Wang Lin’s body had reached its limit. The seven-colored light on his right shoulder had all condensed back into the seven-colored nail.
Under these continuous blows, the nail seemed to have loosened and was showing signs of being pushed out.
Just at this moment, another roar came from the top of the mountain and a third eagle flew out. It turned into a ray of light and mercilessly slammed into Wang Lin’s chest.
Wang Lin’s body trembled, and the powerful impact caused his already injured body feel like it was going to collapse, but his eyes were filled with joy. He let out a laugh as his right shoulder burst open and blood flew everywhere. The seven-colored nail was inside that blood!
Chapter 1196 – Sima Mo’s Secret
Wang Lin grabbed the seven-colored nail and rapidly retreated with the help of the impact. He fell to the bottom of the mountain. The three eagle beasts roared as they chase. They were like three rays of black light.
Wang Lin didn’t hesitate to rush into the tunnel. He endured the intense pain from his body and charged ahead.
The eagle beasts’ roars echoed in Wang Lin’s ears, but they didn’t enter the tunnel. They circled outside the tunnel with ferocious gazes. After a long time, they slowly returned to the top of the mountain and turned into fog once more.
Wang Lin found a hidden place in the tunnel and sat down. After placing a large amount of restrictions, he took out pills. He swallowed them and then began to cultivate.
His body had been seriously injured, but the ancient god body not only had power, it also had unimaginable recovery. After several hours, his injuries were healing.
However, Wang Lin didn’t leave. He sat there and continued to cycle the ancient god energy to every part of the body. While he was healing, his origin energy was rapidly moving through his body.
Without the seven-colored nail, there was nothing stopping Wang Lin from recovering.
Time quickly passed, and in the blink of an eye, two more days went by. Wang Lin opened his eyes, and they shined like lightning in the dark tunnel. He stood up and moved his body. All his injuries had almost healed. His origin soul was no longer weakened and the origin energy in his body had all recovered over the past two days of cultivating.
He had reached his peak once more. Even if Master Ashen Pine wasn’t injured, he could battle Master Ashen Pine again!
In a flash, Wang Lin charged out through the passage and appeared in the valley. He took a deep breath and thought of the dangers he had just faced. Wang Lin waved his right hand and the seven-colored nail appeared in his palm.
He still had lingering fear towards this nail. He was lucky that he had the body of an ancient god, which prevented the nail from making his bone become seven-colored instantly. This helped delay the madness, or else the consequences would’ve been unimaginable. It was also thanks to his ancient god body that he could suffer serious injuries to borrow outside force to force the nail out.
If it was any other cultivator, they wouldn’t be able to do this. Even if they were late stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivators, without the body of an ancient god, they would still die to this seven-colored nail.
“This item is definitely not ordinary. Not only did it break the iron sword, it also pierced my body. I fear if not for the iron sword blocking it a bit, it would have directly penetrated my bones and turned them into seven-colored light in an instant.” Wang Lin stared at the seven-colored nail in his hand. His divine sense spread out and he left his own mark on it.
“Although I lost the iron sword, I have obtained this even more aggressive seven-colored nail. This will become my ace in the future. With this, even late stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivators will die!”
While pondering, Wang Lin’s right hand reached at the void, took out Pang Decai’s ring, and placed it on his left thumb. The defense of this treasure was excellent, and it could be considered good protection here.
Then he took out something else. It was the short sword that was stabbed into the beast bone in that cave. Unfortunately, he couldn’t open the seal on it right now, so he put it away after looking at it.
The last thing he took out was the little nascent soul that belonged to Master Ashen Pine. It had become weak, but it still had a ferocious expression and roared at Wang Lin.
“This thing is interesting.” Wang Lin spat out a mouthful of origin energy and surrounded it with it. Then he swallowed it and left it to refine in his origin soul. This thing seemed like a nascent soul but also like a treasure; it was really strange. Although Wang Lin didn’t know where it came from, it didn’t hinder him from refining it.
He was going to refine it with his origin soul and wipe off Master Ashen Pine’s mark. Then it would belong to Wang Lin, and he could study it at that time.
“Although both Master Ashen Pine and I ended up seriously injured and I suffered heavy losses, I also gained a lot. The jade bottle with the black liquid, the seven-colored nail, the blood nascent soul, and the crystal sword!” Wang Lin waved his hand and the trident appeared in his grasp. He shook it and a small, crystal sword flew out.
When he grabbed the sword, the aura of a Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure appeared. Although it couldn’t match the iron sword, its power wasn’t ordinary.
After sorting his treasures, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. From all the treasures Master Ashen Pine had, it wasn’t difficult for Wang Lin to guess that this Seven-Colored Realm had a lot of treasures. Most of Master Ashen Pine’s treasures must have come from here, especially those beads that could summon spells.
“This is a treasure trove. If Master Ashen Pine can obtain treasures, so can I… The battle in the future will depend on who can obtain the stronger treasures and pills to increase our cultivation levels!” Wang Lin licked his lips and charged into the valley ahead.
This first goal was Sima Mo’s cave from Pang Decai’s memories!
In Pang Decai’s memories, after they found Sima Mo’s cave, they didn’t open it completely and instead just opened a part of it. This time they were prepared to obtain the soul beasts and refine them into pills. Once their cultivation levels increased, they were going to break open Sima Mo’s cave completely.
“A cave that hasn’t been completely opened and is still intact!” Wang Lin quickly moved based on Pang Decai’s memories. He quickly moved through the valley, but he didn’t trigger a single restriction.
This place was extremely vast, and the valley was filled with restrictions. Most of the restrictions had collapsed, and even if the valley had any caves, they were empty.
After one day, Wang Lin stopped outside a valley. This valley was very ordinary, but when he closed his eyes, he felt a gloomy intent enter his mind.
The valley was filled with weeds and there were signs of restrictions being destroyed. This was the location of Sima Mo’s cave from Pang Decai’s memories.
After carefully observing this place, Wang Lin walked forward. When he got near the entrance to the valley, he stopped and deduction filled his eyes. A moment later, his right hand formed a seal and shot out a restriction ahead.
In an instant, the valley trembled as if a picture was torn apart before Wang Lin and blown away.
Things changed before him. The originally ordinary-looking valley became purple and the weeds on the ground were replaced by black soil; even the entrance was different. A black light prevented people from moving forward.
There were two layers of restrictions on this valley. The first layer was an illusion. No matter how hard one tried, they would ultimately never be able to enter the cave inside. What Pang Decai and company were cracking was the first layer.
However, in Wang Lin’s eyes, with his understanding of restrictions, he immediately saw through it. He raised his hand to make the second layer appear and revealed the true appearance of this cave.
Staring at the black light, Wang Lin revealed a wry smile. This black light was the same as the one protecting the place where Master Ashen Pine went to get the bottle; both were Time Restrictions!
He placed his right hand on the light and pondered for a bit. With his understanding of restrictions, he could calculate that this restriction was nearly 20,000 years old. Although it couldn’t compare to the one around the jade bottle, it would still be difficult to crack unless he was willing to sacrifice treasures and open it by force.
Looking at the black light, Wang Lin began to ponder. Shortly after, his eyes lit up and his right hand moved. A jade immediately appeared in his hand. This was the jade he got on the wild continent that belonged to Sima Mo!
“I obtained Sima Mo’s relics on the wild continent, and here I see Sima Mo’s cave. Interesting…” Wang Lin’s expression didn’t reveal joy or anger.
Holding the jade, he slowly pushed it toward the black light. At this moment, the light violently fluctuated and countless ripples appeared on it. Eventually, the light gathered toward the jade in Wang Lin’s hand. Then, with a bang, the black light that couldn’t be opened began to dissipate with the jade as the center, and a passage opened up.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he pondered a bit. He then stepped into the opening, and after he entered, the crack closed. Then the ripples dissipated and everything returned to normal.
An illusion appeared over it once more. The purple valley returned to normal and the black soil once again was covered in weeds. Everything returned back to how it was before Wang Lin arrived.
After passing through the black light, what appeared before Wang Lin was a green, grassy valley. This valley wasn’t big, only about 1,000 feet wide. There were nine caves on the mountains surrounding the valley, and each one of them was sealed with a rock.
There was a skeleton in the meadow in the valley. It was sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall of the valley in front of Wang Lin. Its head was lowered and its right forefinger was pointing at the ground.
There were three jades placed before his body.
Wang Lin silently looked at the skeleton and his pupils shrank. The skeleton’s bones gave off a faint, seven-colored light glow.
He slowly walked up to the skeleton before squatting down and carefully examining it. Then he picked up the first jade and his divine sense entered it.
“…. I didn’t think I’d return here… Back then, my Uncle-Master and I and many of my fellow sect members found that mysterious spacial crack according to his request… This crack was very strange, but it was filled with seven-colored light. It was very beautiful… Junior Sister was very fond of this seven-colored light, and I promised her I’d take it back for her…
“We entered the crack and entered this horrible nightmare… It was just that back then, I didn’t foresee any of this…
“We entered the deepest part of this place and found a terrifying existence. This secret could shock the entire cultivation world. Not just my Cloud Sea, but also Allheaven, Summoned River, and Brilliant Void!
“However, it was too late… We destroyed our hope with our own hands… We are sinners… Teacher kicked us out of the sect. I know he had no other choice. I left with my sect members and became lost in the fog of the Cloud Sea. Looking at the fog, I felt fear… because of that secret…
“I didn’t expect that immeasurable calamity would return in our moment of despair. We escaped once only to return here… Perhaps I won’t be able to leave this place again… Is this fair? I believe in fate, and I gave into fate…”
Chapter 1197 – Sovereign [1]
Wang Lin held the jade and his divine sense carefully swept past it.
“It has been three years… Second Brother is dead and Third Brother is also dead… They became Lost Ones and wandered here… I saw them four days ago, but they no longer recognized me and just walked past me… I can’t let things continue, I must find a way.”
“This is the sixth year since I came here, and I found a jade. It contains a restriction called ‘Time Restriction.’ I must learn it…”
“Uncle-Master left. He went into the depths of this place. He told me a voice had called him… This is the 11th year since I came here… I managed to grasp a bit of the Time Restriction.”
“How much time has passed? It must have been at least 30 years. The Enlightened Ones attacked once more, and I clearly saw Uncle-Master among them… They took away Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother…”
“I have finally mastered the Time Restriction. I and the remnants of my sect set a giant Time Restriction in a valley. Ninth Brother sacrificed his life to reinforce the time of this restriction. Before he died, he made me promise him that I would take his remains back to the Heaven Breaking Sect… I promised, but can I do it…
“The Time Restriction has protected the valley, and the valley has become my home… However, I didn’t find the warmth of home. I only saw familiar faces gradually become unfamiliar.
“I can’t continue like this. I must find a way. I’m going to save them!”
Wang Lin silently pondered as he looked at the skeleton before him. The contents of the jade ended. He looked at the second jade and picked it up. His divine sense entered it.
“It has been 100 years. There is no night or day, so I can’t accurately calculate the time here. However, by judging the power of the Time Restriction, it should have been 100 years. Just why do I feel like 1,000 years have passed… 13th Brother destroyed his own body and died… He couldn’t bear this kind of existence any longer.
“The people around me have become Lost Ones or Enlightened Ones. Only me, 16th Brother, and Fourth Uncle remain. I know we are sinners, and perhaps this is our punishment. However, I’m unwilling to yield!! I won’t yield!
“Today is a day I will never forget. It has been more than 130 years since I came here, and this was the first time the Defying Ones appeared. Fourth Uncle turned into a Defying One…
“They’re all gone. Only 16th Brother and I remain… However, I thought of a method to save them. I must try, even if it means death! I said goodbye to 16th Brother and left the valley.
“I brought back Second Brother and Third Brother, along with everyone else that became Lost Ones… I entered the depths of the mountain and found Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, who became Enlightened Ones, and brought them back. I then went into the depths of this place. I was very familiar with the path there…”
“I found Second Uncle and brought him back.”
The jade ended here. Wang Lin stared at the jade as he put it down. He pondered about the contents for a long time and then picked up the third jade!
“I have already been here for more than 300 years and have gone to all the places I can go. I found a bead that could seal the spells of Defying Ones! I don’t know what they are exactly, but in order to save Fourth Uncle, I searched a majority of the places and found a few more beads.
“That was the fourth time I went into the depths of this place. I knew that it was here that Fourth Uncle faced those powerful Defying Ones. I used the beads to seal all their spells… I searched for a few years before I finally found Fourth Uncle… It’s just… I didn’t expect him to be there, so I failed… A seven-colored nail pierced into my body… This nail was very strange; it immediately melted inside my body.
“I finally escaped and returned to the valley in a blur. My consciousness gradually faded and an insane idea kept appearing in my mind. This insane idea wanted me to kill all living creatures I could see… It’s just that the only other living thing here besides me was 16th Brother.
“I drove 16th Brother out of the valley. I gave my identity token and beast bone to him. I made him leave the valley and told him to come back in 10 years… 16th Brother left… I sat in the valley, looking up at the seven-colored sky, waiting for the final madness to come.”
“Second Brother, Third Brother, and all my fellow sect members, if any of you awaken and see my jades, you will know what happened in those hundreds of years…
“Also, I have collected a lot of those strange beads. I vaguely found some clues about them. These stone beads are not natural; they were refined by someone. There was no difference between their size, weight, or surface… It is as if someone came here and used a special spell to make these beads a long time ago…
“My consciousness became blurred, but I had a feeling something was pulling at my origin soul… I don’t know why, but at that moment, my consciousness became clear and a crazy idea emerged in my head… Maybe I should do it… If I succeed, I won’t go crazy. I will… be reborn!
“My consciousness seemed to leave my body and extended into the starry sky… I saw… a person. A middle-aged man in a black robe with a round mark between his eyebrows. He said that his name was ‘Sovereign…’”
Wang Lin’s face turned pale and he sucked in a breath of cold air. He subconsciously took a few steps back and stared at the jade in his hand and the skeleton. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
“Sovereign…” Wang Lin wasn’t unfamiliar with this name! In Qing Lin’s cave, he learned that outside the sealed realm, there was a powerful existence called the Sovereign!
However, at that moment, the Sovereign was a far away existence, a powerhouse from Qing Lin’s era. A long time had passed since then.
However, Wang Lin didn’t expect to find a jade with information about the Sovereign in the Cloud Sea Star System, in this Seven-Colored World, in this valley!
Wang Lin closed his eyes and couldn’t help but think back to when Qing Shui was battling the Moongazer Serpent. He had collapsed the void, resulting in those two mysterious cultivators showing up!
Those two people were residents of the outer realm! If not for the Heaven Defying Bead appearing, he would have been capture by them!
“Back when the old man saw the Heaven Defying Bead, he called me the Sovereign of the Sealed Realm…” Wang Lin opened his eyes and let out a deep breath. His mind was like the raging sea after learning of the information inside the jade. He couldn’t calm down for a long time.
“This Seven-Colored Realm is related to the All-Seer and also the Sovereign… Especially these seven-colored nails that can make one go crazy and kill all living things… Senior Brother Qing Shui said that before the Celestial Realm Collapsed, he was in closed door cultivation when he suddenly went mad. Even he himself doesn’t know why… All of this was related to going mad!!
“Also, the old Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor said that after Senior Brother Qing Shui went to the Cultivation Alliance, he went crazy again… What kind of secret is behind all of this? It must be related to that Sovereign!
“All-Seer, Qing Shui, Sima Mo, Sovereign…” Wang Lin silently pondered.
After a long time, he let out a sigh and looked at Sima Mo’s skeleton with a complicated expression. There was no trace of destruction around Sima Mo, meaning he didn’t go crazy in the end!
Since he didn’t go crazy, then that idea related to the Sovereign had succeeded!
“I didn’t think this would be the spatial crack that the Heaven Breaking Sect found back then… It is also where the beast bone pill recipe appeared! However, how did the beast bone and jade leave this place… Could it be that the 16th Brother somehow left this place, causing the jade and beast bone to appear in the Cloud Sea once more…
“Then there is the person that was mentioned in the jade… Who is he… According to Sima Mo, the Heaven Breaking Sect didn’t know of this place back then. They came here because of that person’s words… And hundreds of years later, Sima Mo unexpectedly saw that mysterious person again!” Wang Lin rubbed his temples. The more he learned, the more confused he became.
He raised his head and looked at the nine caves sealed by rocks. Wang Lin arrived next to the first cave and looked at the rock. His eyes lit up and looked at it for a very long time before he placed his right hand on it. His origin energy gently entered the rock.
The rock made a rumbling sound as it was moved to the side.
The moment the cave was open, the smell time and decay flew out. This cave was very small, only 100 feet wide. There was a grey light, and 10 beads the size of a baby’s fist floated inside the light.
Every single bead contained a faint rune and was flashing. However, they were giving off a grey light that was hard to see. If you weren’t careful, it was easy to miss.
After seeing the beads, Wang Lin’s mind trembled. He immediately recognized them as what Master Ashen Pine had used to summon the spells of the Defying Ones!
“The contents of the jades are indeed true!” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as his right hand reached out and one of the beads flew into his grasp. His divine sense spread out and he carefully observed it. Wang Lin’s expression changed greatly! It was as if countless bolts of thunder had exploded in his mind!
When Master Ashen Pine took out the beads, he was very fast and it was inconvenient for Wang Lin to take try to get a closer look, because it would distract him from the battle. Wang Lin had only taken a glance and didn’t get a closer look, but now he could clearly examine them.
“Heaven defying bead…”
Chapter 1198 – Pill
Wang Lin’s origin soul trembled as he stared at the bead in his hand. The Heaven Defying Bead had accompanied him almost all his life, so he couldn’t be wrong. Regardless of the size, weight, and even aura, this was exactly the same as the Heaven Defying Bead!
The only difference was that the bead didn’t have the five elements pattern, only a faint, blurred pattern.
“I have collected a lot of those strange beads… These stone beads are not natural; they were refined by someone. There was no difference between their size, weight, or surface… It is as if someone came here and used a special spell to make these beads a long time ago…” The information inside the jade echoed in Wang Lin’s mind. His rough breathing gradually calmed down.
“These beads were made from trying to imitating the Heaven Defying Bead! Someone was here trying to produce the Heaven Defying Bead a long time ago…” After a long time, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes.
“This person must have seen the Heaven Defying bead or even had it in his possession to be able to make something so similar!” Wang Lin touched the spot between his eyebrows and his eyes lit up.
“It must take great courage to want to refine the Heaven Defying Bead… Could this person also be the Sovereign?” Wang Lin’s expression was gloomy. He had a feeling that he and the Sovereign from the outer realm would cross paths in the near future!
“Perhaps… The people of the outer realm already know of my existence. After all, that old man from the outer realm didn’t die…” A chill crept up in Wang Lin’s heart.
After pondering for a long time, Wang Lin waved his sleeves and collected all 10 beads. He checked them and felt the fluctuations of a spell within each one. It seemed they all contained a spell inside.
“There beads are all failures, or else they wouldn’t be randomly discarded here. For some reason, these failed beads can seal spells…” Wang Lin pondered as he left his own mark on the beads and put them in his storage space.
His gaze swept through the first cave. After finding nothing more, he walked out.
Entering and exiting the cave made Wang Lin feel a mountain of pressure descend on him, and his expression became extremely gloomy. In particular, he thought of his previous battle with Master Ashen Pine. The spell he had used to summon the seventh spirit of the realm was very similar to the spell the outsiders used.
“What is the identity of this Master Ashen Pine?” Wang Lin walked away from the cave and looked up at the seven-colored sky outside. He remembered that back in the void, where he first encountered the people from the outer realm, there was also seven-colored light coming from the outer realm…
The more he came in contact with and understood this place, the more confused he felt about it.
He silently withdrew his gaze and arrived at the second cave. He waves his sleeve, causing the rock to move, and exposed the inside of the cave.
A giant pill furnace occupied more than half of the room, and it was surrounded by a large amount of herbs. However, they were mostly dried out, and there were storage bags laying around.
It had been a very long time. The ground was covered in dust, and if you wiped the pill furnace, you would leave a mark in the dust.
Opening the bags one by one, Wang Lin was moved. These bags were all filled with herbs, and the amount was unimaginable.
After exiting the cave, Wang Lin walked toward the third cave.
There were restrictions left on the door blocking the third cave, but they weren’t a Time Restriction. After carefully examining them for a long time, Wang Lin’s hands formed a seal and restrictions fell on the rock. Popping sounds echoed and the rock slowly moved to the side.
In the third cave, there was a circular formation, and there were origin crystals on the edges that were keeping the formation active. There were three bottles floating in the formation. They seemed to be getting nourished by the origin crystals.
Although the formation was still active, a lot of the origin crystals had been dried since a long time ago. There was barely enough to keep the formation active.
After looking at the three bottles, Wang Lin walked forward and looked at the formation. He didn’t act recklessly. This formation contained a hint of the Time Restriction. Although it was faint, it was enough to increase the power of this formation.
More importantly, Wang Lin saw through the formation. The effect of the formation was to keep the pills at the moment of completion so they wouldn’t be affected by the passage of time and to protect them. If they were opened by force, the pills inside would be immediately destroyed.
Frowning, Wang Lin sat down. He hadn’t even checked the rest of the cave when deduction shined in his eyes. The light in his eyes became bright and he lifted his hand to reach at the void. A piece of origin crystal flew out from his storage space.
Holding the origin crystal, Wang Lin squeezed it and it collapsed. When the origin energy surged out, Wang Lin’s hands formed a seal and he took full control of the origin energy. He then pointed at the edge of the formation and the origin energy surged into the ground.
As Wang Lin waved his hand in the air, the origin energy formed a diamond formation on the ground. Then he waved his right hand, causing a thin line to extend from the diamond formation and connect with the formation inside the cave.
After doing all of this, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and his hand quickly reached into the formation and tried to grab the three bottles.
Just at this instant, the formation gave off a powerful light and lit up the whole room. A destructive aura appeared and was about to charge at the bottles. However, at this moment, the destructive aura paused. The powerful light seemed to be guided into the diamond formation by the thin line.
During this pause, Wang Lin grabbed the three bottles and withdrew his hand.
He retreated and left the cave in the blink of an eye. He appeared on the grass and sat down. As Wang Lin looked at the three bottles, his heart pounded.
He had taken a big risk just then. If he had made the slightest mistake, the three bottles would have shattered. The pills inside would had been destroyed too.
“These pills were left here by Sima Mo and his sect. Being stored like this means they must be very valuable!” Wang Lin licked his lips and opened the first bottle.
A pill fragrance came from inside the bottle, and there were three red pills inside. A fierce fluctuation of beast soul came from them and filled the area. Even Wang Lin’s origin soul was attracted.
He pulled out one pill and held it between his fingers. He carefully examined it.
“Rank 11 pill?” Wang Lin vaguely identified it. He pondered a bit before picking up the second bottle. The moment he opened the bottle, a large amount of fog came out. The fog was divided into two parts: black and white. They eventually split and floated into the air.
There was a pill inside each of the two clouds of fog.
“A Fog Soul Pill refined from a rank 12 fog beast!” Wang Lin’s eyes revealed ecstasy. He vaguely recognized the rank 11 pills, but this was an extremely rare pill refined from rank 12 fog beasts. These were very rare in the Cloud Sea, and they had a distinct characteristic that could be easily recognized.
The reason the fog pill was so rare was because very few people were willing to give up the long term benefits of a fog beast and use the fog beast they had captured to refine pills.
Wang Lin licked his lips and his gaze fell on the last bottle. When his divine sense swept this bottle, he couldn’t find any clues. After pondering a bit, he slowly pulled the cork from the bottle. The moment a small opening appeared, an unimaginable fluctuation rushed out like crazy. A fierce roar that couldn’t be heard but was clearly felt by one’s origin soul echoed!
This roar was far stronger than a rank 12 beast and was earth-shattering. Wang Lin’s body trembled and he didn’t hesitate to reseal the bottle. All of this happened in a flash. After sealing the bottle, Wang Lin’s face was pale. He cultivated for a moment and then looked at the bottle with a serious expression.
“Rank 13 pill!!” Wang Lin took a deep breath and carefully put away two of the bottles, leaving behind the first bottle. He picked it up and walked toward the cave with the furnace.
Only after reaching the mid stage of Nirvana Shatterer could one devour a rank 11 pill, or else their origin soul couldn’t combat the fierce beast soul. The result would only be having one’s origin soul devoured by the beast soul. This was something every cultivator in the Cloud Sea knew. Although pills could help increase your cultivation level, you had to be extremely cautious!
Wang Lin’s actual cultivation level, ignoring his ancient god body, was only early stage Nirvana Cleanser. He couldn’t devour a rank 11 pill directly, so he needed to refine it again!
In the cave with the pill furnace, Wang Lin pondered a bit and fire flashed in his left eye. Fire immediately appeared and rushed into the pill furnace. The furnace trembled and the markings on it slowly activated.
Taking out a rank 11 pill, Wang Lin placed it inside the pill furnace. His right hand patted the void, causing the fire inside the furnace to surge and refine the pill.
Two-time refining was an alchemy method that all Cloud Sea cultivators had to learn. This was a method of refining a higher level pill to split its power. This method had a great relationship with the furnace. The better the furnace, the less effectiveness was lost.
While Wang Lin was refining the pill, deep within the Seven-Colored Realm, far beyond where Master Ashen Pine was, there was a place covered in fog that made it impossible to see anything.
There was an altar here shrouded in fog. At this moment, a bright light flashed from the altar. The light penetrated the surrounding fog and pushed it back, revealing an empty area.
A large crack silently appeared above the altar. Countless lightning bolts appeared along the edges of the crack, tearing it wider, and then three people walked out!
These people’s clothes were clearly different from what the people of the Cloud Sea wore. What was even more bizarre was that they all had a mark between their eyebrows. The man in front had a lightning bolt between his eyebrows. As for the two behind him, one youth had a crescent moon mark and the last one had a flame mark.
“This is the spatial crack you found!” The youth with the crescent moon mark between his eyebrows looked around with excitement in his eyes.
Chapter 1199 – Seeking Dao
The moment the 3 people arrived in the Seven-Colored Realm, the seven-colored fog around Master Ashen Pine slowly closed in until it was completely wrapped around his origin soul.
Strands of white lightning came from the statue and entered the seven-colored fog to fuse with his origin soul.
Master Ashen Pine’s body unexpectedly began to recondense until it was corporeal. His body gave off more flashes of lightning and a faint lightning mark appeared between his eyebrows.
He suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a gloomy glaze.
“He forced this old man to do this. If I don’t get revenge, I’m not human!” He leaped forward and turned into a bolt of lightning as he charged ahead. He pierced through the fog and flew toward the mountains.
“That cultivator named Lu was hurt by my seven-colored nail, so even if he didn’t die, he is dying. I just don’t know where he is hiding… However, it doesn’t matter. If I want to know, I can easily find out!” Master Ashen Pine sneered and his right hand reached at the void. The crack to his storage space opened and a bead flew out.
“Summon, Defying One!” Master Ashen Pine bit the tip of his tongue and spat out blood onto the bead. The bead began to absorb seven-colored light and then collapsed. At the moment it collapsed, a powerful aura appeared and a blurry shadow appeared in the world.
It was impossible to see what the appearance of this person was, but his eyes were clear, as if he could see through the heavens. Nothing could escape his eyes, and if he looked at you, you would feel naked, as if all your secrets had been exposed.
Master Ashen Pine asked the blurry figure, “Where is he?”
The blurry figure closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at Master Ashen Pine. Master Ashen Pine trembled and several images appeared in his head. After he saw those images, he frowned!
“Sima Mo’s cave! He was able to break the cave’s restriction while seriously injured?” There was a flash of coldness in Master Ashen Pine’s eyes and he charged ahead.
In the valley Sima Mo’s cave was in, Wang Lin didn’t put all his energy into alchemy. He also cleared up the first cave. After laying down large number of restrictions and expanding the cave, he released the mosquito beast.
The mosquito king was even more ferocious. After flying out, its cold eyes looked at Wang Lin with determination. Its mind was linked with Wang Lin’s, so it already knew Wang Lin’s plan. It let out a soft hiss.
After silently pondering for a moment, Wang Lin waved his right hand and the mosquito king was pulled into the restriction in the cave.
“With enough origin crystals, it will be fine!” Wang Lin took out large amount of beast souls he had gathered and also took out the mutated beast soul he had created in the cave in the Origin Sect. Then he put in tens of thousands of origin crystal and sealed it shut.
“I’ll use the Five Poison sect’s method to refine mutated beast souls to forcibly raise the mosquito beast’s strength so it can transform into a stronger mosquito king. Only then can it control the large amount of mosquito beasts in the Wind Celestial Realm!” Wang Lin’s divine sense spread out into the cave. He clearly saw the purple mosquito beast rush aggressively toward each beast soul. It fought and devoured them.
At the same time, the origin crystals turned into dense origin energy through the restriction and entered the mosquito beast’s body.
After leaving a strand of divine sense in the cave to keep an eye on it, Wang Lin pondered for a bit and then went to the pill furnace.
Wang Lin sat down beside the pill furnace. He constantly manipulated the fire and refined the pill. Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, two days went by. The fire gradually disappeared and the fragrance of the pill filled the room.
Wang Lin’s expression was calm as his right hand reached out. The lid of the pill furnace flew off and a large amount of fog rushed out. The fog gradually disappeared and a pool of golden liquid floated in the air.
Under Wang Lin’s control, the liquid flew toward him and was stored in three small bottles.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Lin looked at the black light restriction around the valley and picked up a small bottle before taking a small sip of the liquid. The moment the liquid entered his body, it immediately turned into a cool feeling that spread through his body. He could vaguely feel the roar of a beast echo. Wang Lin closed his eyes and began to slowly comprehend the beast’s comprehension of the heavens.
Under this strange state, Wang Lin forgot time as his mind was lost in comprehending the heavens. It was as if he had turned into a fierce beast and experienced all the life and death struggles to survive.
While he pursued dao, he confirmed his own true and false domain as he experienced the beast’s comprehension. Wang Lin was like a passerby as he constantly organized the various comprehensions.
Wang Lin’s surroundings seemed to become distorted and then changed. This change became even more rapid until his surroundings became unreal.
After a long time, Wang Lin’s right hand reached out and picked up the small bottle to take another sip. He continue to be immersed in dao-seeking and enlightenment. More and more dao intent appeared around him.
If he wanted, he could casually pick one of the fierce beast’s comprehensions and use it to improve his cultivation. However, the consequences of this was that his dao heart would be confused. After all, this was borrowing someone else’s dao and not your own comprehension. Wang Lin didn’t want this kind of cultivation!
What he wanted was to continue to confirm his own true and false domain while living the beast’s life, to comprehend the heavens through true and false.
What he took was the sliver of thought going through the beast’s mind while it comprehended the heavens. That was the essence of the fierce beast soul. This thought was vague, but a fierce beast needed this in order to help them breakthrough and eventually reach human form!
Time passed. Wang Lin had consumed the entire first bottle and continued to comprehend. The distortion around his body spread until it covered the entire valley. If anyone came at this moment, their dao heart would become chaotic. There were too many dao intents that Wang Lin had sorted out and given up.
“If there is no false, there is no truth. If there was no truth, were would false come from? True and false, there is no real need to completely differentiate them…” Wang Lin picked up the second bottle and took a big gulp. His eyes were filled with enlightenment before he closed them and continued to confirm his own dao.
As the endless dao intents were sorted out, they gradually spread out of the valley. This caused the entire valley to become distorted.
This was something that couldn’t be seen by the naked eye, but any cultivator above the Soul Formation stage could feel the dao intents here. Every single one of them was formed by the law of the heavens.
If you looked at it, it looked real, but you would find that it was false. It would become very difficult to distinguish, and once you fell into it, it would be very difficult to escape from this abyss.
More and more chaotic dao intents spread out and covered everything within a 10,000 feet area. This caused even the sky to become distorted.
Wang Lin had already consumed the third bottle inside the valley. He had forgotten everything as he continued to search for his dao in this endless world!
In an instant, a vague voice appeared in his mind. This voice seemed to be muttering and gradually became clearer.
“Enlightened, prisoner of the dao of heaven. All sentient beings must endure immeasurable calamities. It only takes a thought to leave the deep prison. All life must walk forever forward and solve the modern age. Escape the will of heaven and obtain the path to life. Seal the will of the heavens. Engrave the dark days. Await the path of cultivation…”
“No life knows the true dao. The bitter abyss forever distorts the true dao….” This sentence continued to echo in his mind. Gradually, even more dao intents spread out until they covered 100,000 feet, 1,000,000 feet. Eventually, they covered a small portion of the Seven-Colored Realm.
Master Ashen Pine was 10,000 feet outside of Sima Mo’s cave, and his face was extremely pale as he stared ahead, but he remained motionless. He had come here two days ago, but before he could move forward, he immediately felt the chaotic and endless dao intents here.
These dao intents were like a giant vortex that could absorb all domains. Then, through a special method, they would bring them into Wang Lin’s confirmation.
The true and false domain was the second evolution of his dao. What he seeked had already suppressed those at his cultivation level and even those above his cultivation level.
Master Ashen Pine’s face was pale as he sat on the ground and made his mind stable. He constantly resisted the chaotic dao intents and the suction from the invisible vortex. He didn’t notice the bald Lost Ones slowly walking over.
They moved at a casual pace, but every step was like Spatial Bending. Soon, they arrived, but they didn’t move forward. They stood there was if they were seeking dao.
Even farther away, the Enlightened Ones that only floated in the fog all came out of the fog and flew toward the valley Wang Lin was in. Their muttering slowly came as well.
Everything happened with the valley Wang Lin was in as the center. A dao refinement that stirred up the entire Seven-Colored Realm slowly occurred. As the chaotic dao intents given up by Wang Lin increased in number, the entire Seven-Colored Realm seemed to become twisted.
The Lost Ones seeked dao and their eyes became even more confused. They stared ahead and countless invisible dao intents were absorbed by them.
The Enlightened Ones arrived and floated in the air. The murmur that had lasted for countless years stopped. They all looked at the valley and closed their eyes. It was as if they were comprehending Wang Lin’s dao.
Even those rank 12 fog beasts all turned into different fierce beasts and didn’t let out any roars. They flew across the sky and surrounded the valley. They floated in the air like the Enlightened Ones and comprehended Wang Lin’s dao.
Chapter 1200 – Dao Scatter
Dao. What is dao?
Wang Lin’s life and death cycle, karma cycle, and true and false were all daos he had comprehended himself or were changes in his way of thinking. From a little, unknown cultivator until now, where he could stand among the strong. All of these changes were the growth Wang Lin had experienced in his life.
From the life and death reincarnation cycle, he saw through life and death. This allowed him to struggle through his crisis and find life in death. This ultimately allowed his defying will to appear in his heart and he dared to become a heaven-defying cultivator.
Splitting the stars, slicing the moon, and looking down upon the heavens was the path of a heaven-defying cultivator. He had seen through life and death, so there was nothing to fear! These were all the thoughts that the life and death domain had brought Wang Lin.
He had become strong because he had the intent! However, the heavens were ruthless and would force all life to obey it! It was also due to the intent of all life that countless daos were formed for everyone to comprehend. This was the gift the heavens had given to all living beings, to give them meaning to cultivate. This was following the heavens and cultivating a smooth path!
Wang Lin wouldn’t enter this path!
After life and death was karma. After Wang Lin’s domain went through a metamorphosis, he was like a head scholar among mortals. He no longer cared about life and death, but pursued the true meaning of the world.
Karma was like this. He saw through karmic cause and caught glimpse of karmic effect. Everything in this world had its own karma. After completing his pursuit of karma, Wang Lin’s life entered a peak. As his mind evolved, his dao heart was confirmed even more. As he went through cycles of karma, his dao heart became even more deeply rooted. The world became different in his eyes.
These heavens are not my heavens! In other people’s eyes, the heavens and earth were boundless, and they didn’t know where it ended. They searched the heavens and earth blindly. In Wang Lin’s eyes, the boundary of the heavens and earth was no longer important. The heavens were karmic cause and earth was karmic effect. The world was a cycle of karma. He wanted to walk out of this karmic furnace, he wanted to know what was outside of this world.
After reaching this step, Wang Lin had reached the limit of his domain. He was also in the circle he had drawn around Li Qianmei and Lu Yuncong.
However, Qing Lin’s appearance and possessing the Heaven Defying Bead allowed Wang Lin’s karma domain to go through another metamorphosis after reaching completion. His domain evolved and he began to explore the origins of true and false!
The true and false domain was a deep comprehension, and ordinary people simply weren’t qualified to grasp it. This was already at the boundary of the heavenly dao, just one step away from reaching the core!
Over the countless years, it wasn’t that there were no cultivators that had reached this step, it’s just that there were simply too few… Domain determines one’s cultivation level, and the depth of the domain brings drastic differences to one’s power.
What Wang Lin was seeking was the grand dao. Although it seemed the same as everyone else, due to his understanding of dao, the path he saw had far surpassed the goals of others.
The liquid formed by the three rank 11 pills was consumed by Wang Lin. His comprehension didn’t end and kept going. His storage space opened before him and bottles of pills flew out. There were rank 8, 9, and 10 pills inside.
He had forgotten about time. While he gained enlightenment, he picked up the pills one by one. He didn’t devour them; they all collapsed when they got close to his mouth. The countless dao intents from the beast souls merged with the vortex and were being confirmed by Wang Lin.
More and more chaotic dao intents appeared and began to spread once more.
The Lost Ones outside the valley gradually gained a hint of clarity in their confused eyes. The Enlightened Ones’ ethereal bodies began to turn corporeal.
Those rank 12 fierce beasts no longer gave off fierce auras while seeking dao.
Master Ashen Pine struggled to protect his mind. It was as if he could be overrun by this chaotic dao intent at any moment. Even more dao intent appeared outside the valley.
The entire Seven-Colored Realm seemed to be filled with the dao intents Wang Lin had abandoned and became twisted. It was as if the countless dao intents were colliding.
As it spread, even the depths of the Seven-Colored Realm became like this.
As Wang Lin continued to become enlightened, his mind gradually flew out of his body. He saw the valley, he saw himself sitting in the valley, he saw the pills floating before him collapsing one by one.
His mind slowly spread out with the valley as the center. When his mind swept past the Enlightened Ones, their bodies all trembled.
The Lost Ones and the fierce beasts were like this as well. As for Master Ashen Pine, his dao heart suddenly collapsed and his eyes became filled with confusion.
None of this caught Wang Lin’s interest at all. His mind continued to spread out, and he saw a burly man sitting in a cave in a mountain in the outer region. The burly man’s eyes revealed panic as he stared ahead. He opened his mouth but was unable to utter a word.
Even after Wang Lin’s mind left, the burly man still hadn’t recovered from the shock.
Wang Lin’s mind circled around the entire outer region and passed through all the caves before heading to the wall-like mountain range. However, along the way, he saw the restriction where the Life and Death Restriction had fused with the Annihilation Restriction.
He saw the pale-faced old woman in green sitting there, cultivating with her eyes closed. Her dao heart was a mess and unexpectedly showed signs of splitting. Her appearance rapidly changed; sometimes she was old, sometimes she was ancient, and sometimes she was middle-aged.
The old woman didn’t cause Wang Lin to stop. He continued into the mountain covered in fog. The fog wasn’t able to stop him at all, and inside he saw two mountains surrounded in restrictions.
The Time Restriction also wasn’t able to stop Wang Lin’s mind. On the first mountain, there was nothing but a stone tablet. There was nothing on the stone tablet, but it gave off an ancient aura.
However, in Wang Lin’s eyes, the ancient aura gradually disappeared. The entire stone tablet was like a treasure.
As Wang Lin’s mind spread out, he went to the second mountain protected by the Time Restriction. There he saw a towering statue and a giant, stone gate halfway up the mountain. There was a lightning mark on the gate.
His mind went through the stone gate and he saw orbs of seven-colored light. There were beast souls sealed within from rank 7 to rank 13…
Inside this cave, he saw a young girl that looked similar to the old woman. Her face was ashen and she looked dead, but her body was trembling.
Wang Lin also saw that there was a hidden space at the peak, and inside he saw the tablet again. He also saw the skeleton that was pinned against the tablet with two seven-colored nails.
At this moment, his mind was attracted by the skeleton and landed on the countless words carved on the skeleton.
It was as if thunder had exploded in Wang Lin’s mind. His originally calm mind suddenly became disturbed and a drastic change occured. His mind gathered on the skeleton and the text was engraved in his heart. There words were exactly the same words that echoed in his mind.
“… Await the path of cultivation…”
Wang Lin’s mind fluctuated for an unknown amount of time and then left this place confused. He went deeper into this fog-covered land and for the first time entered the depths of the Seven-Colored Realm.
There was also fog there, but it was even more dense. However, this still couldn’t stop Wang Lin’s mind. He saw three youths wearing strange clothes. The youth with the crescent moon mark, he had seen this person before…
The youth with the lightning mark softly said, “This place is very mysterious. What makes it even more strange is that I can feel the aura of my Flash Thunder Clan’s ancestor.”
The youth with the flame mark between his eyebrows behind him rubbed his temples. He had a gloomy expression as he softly said, “It is indeed very strange. After entering here, I can feel something calling me in my heart. Also, I feel like my ancestral mark is going to leave my body.”
The last youth with the crescent moon mark was cautiously looking around and his eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speed up, his expression changed greatly.
Wang Lin’s mind swept by the three youths. At this moment, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck the youth with the lightning mark between his eyebrows. The lightning mark began to flash violently.
The youth with the crescent moon mark also trembled as if he had thought of something, but he wasn’t sure. His face was pale and a huge wave was set off in his heart.
The most shocked was the youth with the flame mark. The moment Wang Lin’s mind swept by, he felt like he had lost all the strength in his body. An unspeakable fear washed over his body, and the flame mark began to burn as if it wanted to burn his body into ashes.
It was fortunate that this feeling only lasted for a moment. When Wang Lin’s mind passed, the pain disappeared.
After a long time, the three looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
“What a powerful mind!” The youth with the lightning mark gasped.
“It must be an ancestor from my Fire Sparrow Clan. That mind just now contained was certainly one of my clan’s ancestors, or else my mark wouldn’t have reacted like this!” The youth with the flame mark was pale, but his eyes were filled with greed.
Only the last person, the youth with the crescent moon mark, remained silent. He pondered. There was fear hidden in his eyes. The moment Wang Lin’s mind passed by, he recalled that nightmarish scene he refused to remember.
