Chapter 1141 – Lu Yanfei

Even the morning air was damp during the rainy season on the continent of Mo Luo. Pushing open the window, countless drops of water would landed on the windowsill. Some even splashed onto Wang Lin’s face.

This rain was very cold, but cold rain in the morning could help one awaken.

Looking through the window, the rain was strong. The herbs in the yard were a lot tougher than normal plants, so the rain did no harm to them. The rain fell on the herbs and nourished the roots.

Waves of spiritual energy spread out from the rain. Wang Lin took a deep breath as he picked up an umbrella and walked out from the room.

The sound of his feet landing on the mud mixed with the sound of the rain falling on his umbrella. Wang Lin listened to this sound as he felt the origin energy of the world. He was happy as he slowly walked forward.

Xu Yun’s cultivation session hadn’t ended. She was still silently cultivating, trying to break through the Illusory Yin stage into the Corporeal Yang stage. She wasn’t aware that Wang Lin had left, though even if she wasn’t immersed in cultivation, she wouldn’t know of Wang Lin’s departure.

After arriving at the Origin Sect, Wang Lin didn’t hide his cultivation level. Given his current status, he didn’t feel the need to hide it. However, without using any spells, no one could see that he was a cultivator, as no one could see through his cultivation.

A Nirvana Cleanser cultivator’s origin energy was integrated with the world, allowing them to absorb origin energy from the world to use. As long as the origin energy inside his body doesn’t move, then no origin energy fluctuations will appear. If this was all, Lu Yanfei might have seen something.

However, Wang Lin had a sliver of source origin and had already seen the third step. He had also experienced what it was like to be a third step cultivator with the help of Celestial Emperor Qing Lin. Therefore, there was no one on this continent that could see through his cultivation.

He held the umbrella wearing white clothes as he walked out of the yard and began to walk through the Origin Sect. He did encounter other cultivators, but they were all in a rush and didn’t disturb each other.

Wang Lin walked up the mountain from the southern courtyard. He didn’t use any spell and used his body to walk toward the peak.

The mountain breeze was very strong at the top of the mountain. At a glance, the clouds covered the sky and there was lightning flashing within them, releasing muffled sounds of thunder.

Wang Lin breathed in the wet air, looked at the scene in the distance, and felt the origin energy of the world. Wang Lin’s heart was calm. If not for the uninvited guest, he would enjoy this feeling.

He was at a place where no one knew him; he was in a foreign world, savoring the smell of the rain by himself.

“Who are you?” A cold voice came from behind him.

Wang Lin’s expression was neutral as he turned around and saw a woman behind him. This woman wore a red dress that looked like a red cloud. Her black hair was scattered behind her, and the black and red contrasted with her slightly pale face, making her even more beautiful.

This woman was very delicate, but on this rainy and thunderous day, she gave off a sense of loneliness and helplessness. Her faint hint of humiliation appeared clearly in Wang Lin’s eyes.

Wang Lin calmly said, “My name is Ceng Niu.”

The woman in red coldly looked at Wang Lin and frowned. The name “Ceng Niu” was completely unfamiliar to her. If not for the fact that Wang Lin was only a mortal, she would have already drove him down the mountain.

“Ceng Niu?” The woman remembered that among the 31 mortals brought back from the north, one of them was named “Ceng Niu.” However, this person was simply too calm, and this wasn’t something that could be faked.

“Leave this place,” the woman said coldly. After all, she was a powerful cultivator and would naturally not make a move on a mortal. Although she was irritable, she maintained her calm.

Wang Lin suddenly smiled and walked past the woman in red. He followed the road and was about to leave.

The woman in red turned around and looked at Wang Lin. Wang Lin’s calmness surprised her. It has to be said that in the entire Origin Sect, aside form her teacher, every disciple would be extremely nervous and respectful. Even her three senior apprentice brothers would show some respect due to her higher cultivation level.

There was not need to talk about mortals, but this man before her was strangely calm.

The gaze of the woman in red was like lightning as she stared at Wang Lin’s back as if she could see through him. After carefully checking, she finally determined that the person before her was just a mortal.

The woman in red let out a sigh and whispered “Wait. Are you willing to listen to me…”

Lu Yanfei had a very high status in the Origin Sect, and most people were very respectful to her. Also, due to her status, there were some things that weren’t convenient to speak about.

The youth before her didn’t have any cultivation and was a mere mortal. In Lu Yanfei’s eyes, the difference between them was like heaven and earth. More importantly, the youth’s calmness was infectious and unconsciously helped her calm down.

She just wanted to find someone who could listen to her. At this time, during this rainy morning on this mountain, it was just the two of them.

Wang Lin pondered and stopped walking away. He stood at the top of the mountain as he looked at the dark clouds in the distance and nodded.

The mountain breeze whistled by with the rain. Aside from the wind and rain, it was calm.

“When I was 13, I was accepted as a disciple by Teacher and stepped onto the path of cultivation…” Lu Yanfei’s voice was calm and filled with nostalgia. Her voice slowly disappeared into the rain.

“When I was attempting my breakthrough to the Ascendant stage, Teacher was willing to expend a large amount of herbs in the sect and even went to trade for more from other sects to refine me a Heaven Deceiving Pill that allowed me to reach the Ascendent stage…

“I still remember that year. Teacher took me into the stars hunting. It took three years before he helped me catch a six-eyed red fox to become my life beast spirit…”　　

Lu Yanfei slowly and bitterly spoke. She didn’t care whether Wang Lin could understand or listen, she just looked at the horizon as if she was muttering to herself.

“Teacher has died. From now on, I’ll never be able to see him again…”

Lu Yanfei had said a lot. Wang Lin stood on the side and silently listened. Time gradually passed and soon it was noon. The rain in the sky lessened gradually until it stopped.

The dark clouds in the distance disappeared and the sky became clear. A bright rainbow hung over the sky, giving off an indescribable beauty.

“The Purple Dao Sect caused Teacher’s death, and then their junior master sent over a jade asking me to become his cultivation couple. If I don’t agree, then they will report to the main sect that they will start a war with our Origin Sect, taking advantage of my teacher’s death… The main sect never liked us. If the Purple Dao Sect really requests it, then there’s an 80% chance the main sect will agree…”

Lu Yanfei bit her lower lip, and there was a hint of bitterness in her beautiful expression.

“What is ridiculous is that my three senior apprentice brothers didn’t dare to step forward at all and thought that this matter was set… They want me to sacrifice myself to bring peace to the Origin Sect. However, do they really think that the Origin Sect will be safe once I belong to Lu Hai…”

Two streams of tears fell from Lu Yanfei’s eyes, went down along her cheeks, and landed on the ground, mixing with the rain. She silently looked at the rainbow over the horizon and muttered, “There is a rainbow after the wind and rain, but… my Origins Sect’s rainbow is bleak…”

Wang Lin’s expression was calm. Seeing that the woman in red was finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the mountain. The woman in red didn’t stop him this time and silently looked at the horizon. After a long time, she revealed a determined expression and killing intent appeared in her eyes.

She looked back at the direction where Wang Lin went.

“This person’s heart is on par with people at my generation. If he steps on the road of cultivation, he will definitely have great achievements in the future… Unfortunately…”

Wang Lin walked down the mountain and entered the courtyard holding the umbrella. Xu Yun was still cultivating when Wang Lin returned to the house, and his eyes lit up.

“I already knew from Zhao Yu’s memories that this Cloud Sea Star System would be very different from the Alliance and Allheaven. Now that I listened to the elder of the Origin Sect, it seems a majority of cultivators cultivate using spirit beasts… Their alchemy is also unique! The Cloud Sea was filled with fog and inside the fog was a world that belong to spirit beasts…”

Wang Lin began to ponder, especially when he pondered the words of that elder. There was actually pill that could help one reach the Ascendant stage!

“Heaven Deceiving Pill…” Wang Lin’s eyes revealed interest.

He couldn’t forget that if not for Zhou Yi’s Ascendant Crystal, he would have been burned to death by the origin flame. Those who seeked dao in the morning could be dead by dusk.

“This Cloud Sea Star System actually has a pill to help cultivators pass the first life and death trial in cultivation. It can be said that the Cloud Sea’s alchemy has reached a peak. There are probably pills that can even help cultivators at the second step!

“However, cultivators should focus on comprehending dao, and pills is considered unorthodox method. Yet why did the Cloud Sea Star System develop alchemy to this degree…” Wang Lin frowned slightly, but he soon relaxed.

“Could it be… There are pills that can help comprehend domain!” Thinking about this, Wang Lin’s heart skipped a beat and he let out a deep breath.

Just at this moment, his expression changed and his gaze seemed to penetrate his own house before landing on Xu Yun.

At this moment, Xu Yun opened her eyes and coughed out blood. Her face was pale. She had failed trying to break through to the Corporeal Yang stage again…

This failure caused her origin soul to become injured. Xu Yun bit her lower lip and revealed a decisive gaze. She slapped her bag of holding and took out a pill.

She crushed the pill without hesitation, revealing a black pill. The moment the pill appeared, it released rich origin energy, and there was also a faint soul force inside it.

“Soul Parting Death Pill…” Xu Yun clenched her teeth and was about to swallow the pill. At this moment, a calm voice appeared.

“Stop!”

Chapter 1142 – Spirit

This voice seemed to come from the world itself and was ethereal. It seem to come from her ears but also from far away. However, listening to it carefully, it came from her mind.

It was a very simple word and very calm voice, but when it landed in Xu Yun’s mind, it caused her body to trembled. It was as if the world around her had collapsed and formed a law of unimaginably thin threads that wrapped around her. Xu Yun’s body, origin soul, and origin energy all stopped at this moment.

Even her mind was frozen, still retaining her previous thoughts.

Wang Lin’s figure appeared before Xu Yun.　　

Xu Yun, who was sitting there, was very alluring, with her beautiful body hidden by her clothes. There was a fragrance coming from her body.

Her expression still retained her previous determination.

Wang Lin took the black pill form Xu Yun’s hand and carefully looked at it. The color of this pill was like the source of darkness in the world. Just one look at it would suck your mind in.

“What a strange pill!” Wang Lin muttered as his divine sense spread across pill, and he began to calculate. Wang Lin’s knowledge in alchemy was far weaker than his skill in restrictions, but his cultivation level was as high as the heavens, so his divine sense was able to analyze the structure of the pill.

However, a majority of them were not things he understood, and more importantly, he felt soul fluctuations inside the pill.

“Interesting!” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he looked at the pill once more. He was able to determine what he felt wasn’t wrong and there were indeed soul fluctuations inside. Although the soul wasn’t very strong, it was tough.

Closing his eyes, Wang Lin had a feeling he wasn’t holding a pill, but the soul of a fierce beast! This was the soul of an ape, and it was extremely tyrannical. It frantically struggled in his hand, but there were too many seals on it for it to escape.

After he opened his eyes, the illusion disappeared. Wang Lin placed the pill back in Xu Yun’s fingers before taking a few step back and pointing forward.

The invisible threads around Xu Yun quickly disappeared and her body trembled before returning to normal. For her, it felt as if only an instant had passed.

Wang Lin’s cultivation level was far above hers, so she couldn’t even detect the abnormality caused by the Stop spell. She retained her previous action and swallowed the pill with a determined gaze.

Wang Lin stood behind her and calmly observed.

Xu Yun didn’t notice that there was a person behind her. After swallowing the pill, Xu Yun’s face turned red and revealed a hint of pain. Fragrant sweat appeared on her forehead and soon, her clothes were soaked in sweat and clinged to her body.

From the back, Wang Lin could clearly see the beautiful curves of the woman before him. Xu Yun’s face became even more red. Her eyes were closed and she could clearly feel a fire burning in her body.

This flame burned her origin soul, and a golden, black-eyed ape appeared in her origin soul. This golden, black-eyed ape was huge and fierce. It let out a roar and charged at her origin soul.

Xu Yun’s mind was also filled with flames. Her origin soul was already injured from before, and the flames were very painful, but she didn’t retreat. She began a battle with the golden, black-eyed ape. Her mind was like a battleground, and she began a life and death battle with the ape. The ape roared, seeming to want to tear her origin soul and flesh apart so it could escape and not have to withstand the burning flames.

However, Xu Yun’s origin soul clinged onto the black ape. While the flames burned her, they were also refining the black ape. She wasn’t willing to give up until she refined the black ape.

However, the black ape was very powerful, and it was being refined slower than the rate Xu Yun’s origin soul was burning. This caused Xu Yun’s origin soul to retreat, and her face became even more red as she trembled.

When taking the Soul Parting Death Pill, one would walk the line of life and death. Xu Yun knew this very well. If not for the fact that she was anxious to make a breakthrough in order to better help her teacher, she wouldn’t have swallowed this pill so easily.

Her teacher had helped her greatly, so she was willing to do whatever it took for her teacher!

Her origin soul was pushed to the edge by the ape, which only had a small portion of its body refined. It pounced at Xu Yun and was going to tear her origin soul to shreds.

Just at this moment, Wang Lin raised his right hand. He wanted to carefully observe the effect of this pill. If Xu Yun died, he wouldn’t have a chance to observe.

“Forget it, I’ll gift this little girl a fortune!” Wang Lin shook his head as he pointed to between Xu Yun’s eyebrows. Wang Lin’s divine sense directly entered Xu Yun’s mind.

In Xu Yun’s mind, her origin soul continued to retreat, and she was filled with despair. The ape closed in, and just as it pounced, a white figure entered.

She couldn’t clearly see the white figure; she only saw white hair fluttering.

She didn’t have time to be shocked at how this white-haired man had appeared inside her mind. Her origin soul trembled as she stared ahead in disbelief.

She saw that after the white figure appeared, he casually pointed with his finger and the ape was forced back, screaming. Popping sounds came from the ape before it’s body collapsed and was refined like crazy by the surrounding flames.

Xu Yun was startled. The grace of that finger shocked her greatly. She couldn’t describe that finger; it felt like the finger was the only thing in her mind at that moment. It was so powerful that even the world would collapse before the finger.

She had seen her teacher, Lu Yanfei, use spells, but she clearly understood that not even her teacher could produce something this powerful. She feared that even her teacher would be defeated and die under that finger!

She had even seen the ancestor that had already died use spells before, and even for the ancestor, it would’ve been difficult to produce this kind of power. The white-haired man’s casual movement shocked her mind greatly.

The white-haired man seemed to look back at Xu Yun and then disappeared from her mind. The only thing that remained was the white hair that was clearly imprinted in her mind.

The ape was refined by the flames in her mind and turned into a strange soul force. When the soul force rushed into Xu Yun’s origin soul, she could no longer think about the white hair. As she absorbed the soul force, Xu Yun gradually entered a strange state similar to the Shi Realm.

Under this strange state, comprehension of dao and the heavens came from the mysterious soul force into her origin soul. This ape was no ordinary beast, but a spirit beast unique to the Cloud Sea. These spirit beasts also cultivated dao and comprehended the heavens just like humans.

With its natural longevity, it had an advantage over cultivators in gaining enlightenment. This ape had already lived for more than 3,000 years. After taking its soul, alchemy techniques were fused to create this Soul Parting Death Pill!

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yun slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes started shining. The aura of a Corporeal Yang cultivator appeared around her body. Although she hadn’t truly reached the Corporeal Yang stage, the door had been opened. She only needed time to comprehend everything and then she would be a true Corporeal Yang cultivator!

Xu Yun suddenly looked behind her, but she didn’t see anyone here. She was alone in the room, but she couldn’t forget that white-haired figure and that graceful finger.

After silently pondering for a bit, Xu Yun’s expression became bleak. She stared ahead and the white-haired figure remained in her mind. She had a feeling not as a cultivator, but as a woman that she seemed to have… seen this figure before…

“Was it an illusion… White hair… White hair…” Xu Yun’s eyes gradually lit up. She remembered what her teacher had told her about the ancestor’s last words after using the Great Beneficence Spirit Spell.

“The north… White hair…” Xu Yun’s bountiful chest went up and down and her breathing became rough. She immediately rushed out from her house and flew toward her teacher.

Wang Lin stood by the window and saw the ray of light disappear into the night. There was enlightenment in her heart.

“I didn’t think… that such a pill would exist in the Cloud Seal… That means that the more powerful the spirit beast, the more useful it is in helping the soul gain enlightenment…. This is very different from Allheaven and the Alliance.” While pondering, Wang Lin suddenly remembered the beast soul Mo Zhi’s master had refined and given to him as a gift when he was at the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect…

At this moment, in the rank 5 region not far away from the Continent of Mo Luo, there was a beast with the body like a black tadpole that was 1,000 feet wide. It was slowly flying through the star fog.

This beast’s giant head occupied most of its body, more than half. It opened its big mouth as if it was devouring the fog as it flew, revealing its sharp teeth. It was filled with bloodlust as its slender tail waved back and forth.

There were two people standing on its head. One of them was a young man in a purple robe. He was very handsome, but there was also a hint of evil on his face that made him look very tyrannical.

Behind the youth was an old man. He calmly stood there with a respectful expression, but when he looked at the youth, there was a hint of doting in his eyes.

“Not only do I want Lu Yanfei to become my concubine cultivation furnace, but I’m going to make the Origin Sect my inner palace! Uncle Song, how confident are you?”

“If that old daoist hadn’t died, I would have no confidence, but now I’m 100% sure!” There was a flash of coldness in the old man’s eyes.

The young man laughed and licked his lips. He seemed to had thought of something and revealed an evil expression.

Chapter 1143 – Purple Qi From the West

The rainy season lasted for several months, seeming like it would never stop. The intermittent raindrops pressed down upon the minds of the Origin Sect disciples, and they were powerless to dispel it.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Lin had already been at the Origin Sect for 10 days.

Xu Yun had already returned from her teacher, and during this time, she secretly investigated the 31 mortals brought back from the north. She had observed Wang Lin as well, but she didn’t notice anything.

Even her teacher, Lu Yanfei, took this matter seriously. She even used spells to try to find some clues, but there was still no result.

The white-haired figure didn’t dissipate with time, but became even more profound. She would awaken from her cultivation at night and the white-haired figure and that graceful finger would subconsciously appear in her mind.

“Who is he exactly…” This question still plagued Xu Yun.

On this afternoon, Xu Yun pushed over the door and a few drops of rains landed on her face. She frowned as she lifted her jade-like hand and wiped the rain off her face. Her appearance was refreshing with a hint of charm as she walked out.

The raindrops seemed to land on an invisible cover when they came within half a feet of her and flowed down the sides. Walking through the courtyard, Xu Yun looked at the various herbs before looking at Wang Lin’s house.

The first one she suspected was Wang Lin! However, during these days, this youth named Ceng Niu was like a real mortal, aside from his composure and calmness.

She wasn’t able to think of a reason why, but she subconsciously walked toward Wang Lin’s house and stood outside for a while. She raised her eyebrows and pushed opened the door.

“I let you stay here to take care of the herbs. During these days, have you done it once?” Xu Yun stared at Wang Lin, who was reading a wooden scroll next to the small table. For some reason, whenever she saw Wang Lin, she found it hard to control her emotions and didn’t have the calmness an Illusory Yin cultivator should have.

Wang Lin placed down the wooden scroll he had gotten from the Origin Sect. There wasn’t any valuable information inside, and it was something all new disciples could borrow. It contained the history of the continent of Mo Luo and a simple introduction of the Cloud Sea.

These wooden scrolls were to allow the new disciples to get a better understanding of the Cloud Sea. This allowed them to see that there was always someone above them so they would put more effort into cultivation.

While reading the wooden scroll, Wang Lin wasn’t completely focused; he was also thinking about alchemy and spirit beasts.

He calmly looked at Xu Yun. Wang Lin just sat there and calmly asked, “Did a single herb die?”

Xu Yun was startled. The herbs were much more lush than before. Even some of the roots she had given up on had all strangely survived.

Wang Lin no longer spoke. He picked up the scroll and continued reading.

The more calm he was, the more Xu Yun frowned. The moment she walked in, a fragrance diffused within the small room. Wang Lin was familiar with this smell. When Xu Yun was cultivating before, Wang Lin had already smelled this body fragrance.

Xu Yun stared at Wang Lin and coldly said, “The herbs not dying has nothing to do with you. It is because there is plenty of spiritual energy here and there herbs are mostly water element, so they can absorb origin energy from the rain.”

“Oh.” Wang Lin casually nodded and didn’t even look at Xu Yun. He continued to read the wooden scroll in his hand.

“Ceng Niu!” Seeing Wang Lin’s attitude, Xu Yun glared with her beautiful eyes.

Wang Lin frowned as he put down the wooden scroll again and coldly looked at Xu Yun.

Xu Yun was filled with words and was about to scold him, but when she suddenly met Wang Lin’s eyes, she subconsciously swallowed her words. She was startled.

“My job is to keep the herbs from dying. If nothing has happened, please don’t bother me,” Wang Lin said calmly, then he looked away from Xu Yun and picked up the scroll.

Xu Yun’s heart trembled for no reason under Wang Lin’s gaze.

“Is it him…”

Xu Yun pondered for a moment and took a profound look at Wang Lin. She then bit her lower lip and left the room.

Late in the night, the oil lamp on the table was lit. It was dark outside, with only the sound of the rain mixed with the sound of the thunder that followed the rain.

The wind from the mountain blew into the basin, forming vortexes that howled in the night. Wang Lin put down the scroll before closing his eyes and pondering for a moment.

He was able to see through many things from the scroll and had gained a vague understanding of the Cloud Sea. More importantly, during the last four days, he was able gain enlightenment regarding alchemy from a jade he had acquired. He opened his eyes and raised his head. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the house, break through the rain, and look at the sky directly above the basin.

There was a daoist temple being propped up by eight huge pillars there!

Wang Lin could clearly sense a powerful aura within that daoist temple.

His body flickered and he disappeared from the room.

When he reappeared, he was on top of one of the pillars and right outside the daoist temple! The wind and rain were extremely strong here, and there were also flashes of thunder and lightning.

Wang Lin’s expression was calm as he pushed open the door of the daoist temple and walked inside.

This daoist temple wasn’t big. Aside from the decorations, the most conspicuous thing was the giant spatial crack at the center with purple light leaking out, coloring the entire temple purple. Behind the crack was a shelf. There were fluctuations of restrictions coming from the shelf, and there were three things placed on it.

There was a longsword, a piece of jade, and a pill.

The moment Wang Lin entered the daoist temple, the purple light from the spatial crack became stronger. A huge python head came out from the crack and stared at Wang Lin.

This python was blackish purple and its eyes were also a rich purple. Usually, anyone who was being stared by this pair of eyes would be shaken, but it had no effect on Wang Lin.

Wang Lin didn’t even look at the python and walked past it. The python let out a low roar, but fear appeared in its eyes. It began to retreat, allowing Wang Lin to walk past it, and didn’t dare to attack.

In truth, Wang Lin had come here four days ago. In terms of cultivation, this purple python could battle late stage Nirvana Scryer cultivators, but Wang Lin could easily kill it.

He didn’t even cause much of a fuss and almost killed the purple python. However, he was going to stay here for a period of time and couldn’t seem to justify killing their sect’s guardian beast the moment he arrived, so he left the purple python alive.

Wang Lin arrived next to the shelf and with a wave of his sleeve all the restrictions dissipated. Wang Lin picked up the jade and began observing it. He had already seen it four days ago, but he wasn’t interested in their spells or cultivation methods. However, he did pay attention to the information about spirit beasts and alchemy.

After taking another look, Wang Lin pondered. He then put down the jade and picked up the pill. This pill looked very inconspicuous. When he looked at it four days ago, he wasn’t able to find anything interesting.

After pondering about the information on alchemy he saw in the jade four days ago, he came this time to check the pill.

According to the jade, there was a total of 13 ranks of spirit beasts. The souls of these beasts could be refined into pills that were also divided into 13 ranks… This was a pill that was passed down for generations within the Origin Sect. It was a rank 8 pill, but unfortunately, it was a rank 8 pill without a rank 8 beast soul, so it was a waste! There was a hint of pity in Wang Lin’s eyes.

After studying the jade for these days, he gradually grasped some key concepts of the Cloud Sea’s alchemy. He had come here to the temple today to check if his speculation was correct.

Seeing the pill in his hand, he was certain.

After letting out a sigh, Wang Lin put down the pill. He didn’t take any of these three things that were obviously inheritances left by the old ancestor. Unless he had a feud with them, given Wang Lin’s cultivation level, he wasn’t going to do something that would ruin a sect.

It was enough for him to just look at it!

“Now I need to personally refine a pill using this method. My goal in the Cloud Sea is to do everything I can to improve my cultivation!” Wang Lin eyes lit up. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes revealed a strange light.

There were flashes of lightning in the sky above the western part of the continent. There were muffled rumbles as if someone was bombarding it from the outside.

This continent was floating in the cloud sea. There was a black tower on the continent that released a soft, white light that covered the entire continent. Aside from pushing the fog back, it also had a defensive role.

It protected the continent against cultivators of other sects, but more importantly, it protected the continent against the myriad of fierce beasts! In the Cloud Sea, beasts were divided into two categories. The ones that were domesticated by cultivators were called spirit beasts. Those that drifted in the fog and would fight with cultivators to the death were called fierce beasts!

At this moment, the light over the western part of the continent continued to distort and then suddenly collapsed with a bang!

The thunderous rumble suppressed all thunder and rain as it echoed across the entire continent. It clearly entered the Origin Sect!

A spirit beast that was completely black and about 1,000 feet wide with the shape of a tadpole slowly entered the broken barrier. It went through all the lightning and squeezed itself into the continent of Mo Luo!

If it was just this spirit beast, it wouldn’t be enough to break the barrier above the continent. However, on the back of the beast was an arrogant-looking old man. He slowly withdrew his right hand, which was surrounded by purple wind.

Chapter 1144 – Rainbow

An arrogant laugh echoed. Aside from the old man, there was also a youth in purple. His laughter echoed across the world and was filled with excitement and arrogance.

“Henceforth, this Origin Sect will belong to this young lord!”

The thunderous rumble echoed as the giant black beast entered the continent of Mo Luo. The old man standing on the head of the giant beast looked dotingly at the youth and smiled.

As the youth laughed, the black spirit beast below him charged at an unimaginable speed toward the Origin Sect on the east side of the continent.

“The Purple Dao’s young master has arrived. Why hasn’t the Origin Sect come out to greet him?!” An old and gloomy voice echoed, following the thunderous roar of the beast. The only sect on the continent, the Origin Sect, heard this loud and clear. The old man knew that the young master liked to act domineering in public. Normally, the old man wouldn’t act like this, but right now, the fate of the Origin Sect was in his hands. Therefore, he accompanied the young master in being arrogant. The old man waved his hand and a gust of purple wind swept forward.

All the rain that was falling was pushed back. It was as if the rain had to stop wherever the gust of wind passed! Even the lightning was torn apart by the gust of wind. The lightning scattered like a blooming flower.

At this moment, all the disciples in the Origin Sect awakened from their cultivation. Their faces were all pale as they felt a powerful pressure from the west that felt like it could crush them at any time.

At the top of the eastern mountain in the Origin Sect, the middle-aged man among the four elders had a bitter expression. He silently closed his eyes, but then he fiercely opened them. He turned into a ray of light and flew west.

“Teacher just left the world and the Purple Dao Sect is already acting so arrogant. I keep enduring it, but why not just let me, Li Xiangdong, be arrogant for once? Even if I die, I’ll die an indomitable spirit!”

There was a sigh from the north and west mountain peaks. The two old man flew out and looked at each other before flying to the west. Right now was the moment of fate for the Origin Sect, and they couldn’t endure anymore!

However, even if they couldn’t endure it, what could they do? Did they dare to kill the Purple Dao Sect’s young master? Also, the power contained within that old man’s words was enough to shake their hearts.

“Song Wude…. He lost to teacher in the past. Now that Teacher is dead, he came personally… Could it be that my Origin Sect is really fated to fall from grace for eternity…” On top of the southern mountain, Lu Yanfei stood in the red pavailion in a red dress. Her face was filled with sadness and killing intent. She didn’t hesitate to rush out in a ray of red light toward the west.

“Rudy, even if I, Lu Yanfei, die, I’ll not yield to you!!!” Lu Yanfei bit her lower lip as she flew. Tears fell from the sides of her cheek and mixed with the rain. It was impossible to distinguish her tears from the rain…

Behind the four great elders of the Origin Sect were their direct disciples. They flew toward the west filled with panic, determination, or anger.

Xu Yun was among them. Her face showed that she had the determination to die. However, for some unknown reason, while she flew, two figures appeared in her mind.

One figure had black hair and was very thin but always as calm as water. The other figure had white hair, and with the wave of his finger, the world would collapse!

These two figures filled her mind until they eventually overlapped.

Wang Lin stood inside the daoist temple and looked at the rays of light disappearing before him. He shook his head and unhurriedly thought about where he would go after the Origin Sect was destroyed.

In the end, he frowned and muttered, “It’s really troublesome…” He waved his sleeves and stepped forward. Ripples appeared under his feet and he disappeared from the daoist temple.

The purple python that had been laying low since Wang Lin had appeared and was still filled with fear charged out. It let out roar toward where Wang Lin went. It was as if it knew that Wang Lin had left and wouldn’t come back for a long time, so it dared to let out a roar.

The night of the continent of Mo Luo was about to end and the sun was beginning to rise. At this moment, the purple wind flew across the sky and the black spirit beast followed. The old man looked very arrogant and calm. He was confident he could easily deal with the Origin Sect.

The youth in purple beside him revealed an excited look and began shouting obscenely.

“Uncle Song, heavily injure Lu Yanfei, but don’t kill her. Let me play with her for a few days and suck her origin energy dry, then it won’t be too late to kill her!” The youth in purple licked his lips.

The old man beside him nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he was suddenly startled and stared straight ahead.

He saw ripples appeared in the void before him and powerful origin energy fluctuations began to spread. A man with white hair walked out from the ripples!

The white-haired man had a cold expression, and the moment he appeared, a monstrous killing intent filled the world. The black spirit beast immediately stopped and the old man’s expression changed. The youth in purple frowned and was about to shout when the old man stood before him. The old man stared at Wang Lin with a serious expression and said, “I’m the Purple Dao Sect’s Song Wude. Can Fellow Cultivator give me some face and let me pass?”

Hearing the old man’s words, the youth in purple was startled and carefully examined Wang Lin.

“I’ll give you some face, so immediately get the hell out of here and never come back!” Wang Lin’s cold voice stabbed at the old man like the cold wind.

The old man’s expression immediately became gloomy. Although he was weaker than the Origin Sect’s ancestor, he was still a mid stage Nirvana Cleanser cultivator. He couldn’t really see through the other party’s cultivation, so he was polite, but he didn’t think the other party would be so arrogant.

“What an arrogant tone. Even when the ancestor of the Origin Sect faced our Purple Dao Sect, he had to…” Before the old man could finish speaking, the youth in purple behind him laughed.

Wang Lin no longer spoke and coldness flashed through his eyes. As he stepped forward, he raised his right hand and strands of slaughter energy rushed out of his body.

At this moment, a monstrous killing intent appeared! The dense slaughter energy caused a large amount of cold energy to appear. The surrounding raindrops all turned into ice crystals!

The 1,000 foot spirit beast immediately began to tremble. It was very smart and immediately noticed the danger of this slaughter energy. Feeling the danger, it immediately began to retreat without the youth in purple’s order.

The purple youth’s face turned pale, but he still shouted, “You…”

However, this time, before he could finish speaking, the old man immediately slapped the youth and sent him flying to the black spirit beast. He then waved his sleeves and rapidly retreated with the black spirit beast.

“Leave quickly!! I’ll meet up with you after I kill this person!” The old man’s expression became serious. After sending the spirit beast away, he rushed toward Wang Lin.

The youth in purple rarely saw the old man this serious, so panic appeared in his heart. He quickly retreated with the black spirit beast.

Wang Lin waved his right hand and all the slaughter energy around him became crazy. Each strand released a roaring howl as they charged at the old man.

The old man’s pupils immediately shrank. His hands formed seals and purple wind appeared and collided with the slaughter energy. The thunderous rumble echoed far and wide.

“Summon the Rain!” Wang Lin lifted his left hand and pointed at the sky. At this moment, all the rain within 1,000 feet, 10,000 feet, 100,000 feet trembled. As Wang Lin pointed, every raindrop trembled and origin energy surrounded them, then the raindrops shot at the old man.

The old man’s heart was in so much shock that it was impossible to describe with words. He had never seen the two spells the youth in white had used, but the power of these spells made him gasp. He was about to dodge when Wang Lin’s cold gaze locked on to him, and Wang Lin calmly said one word.

“Stop!”

The old man’s body trembled and he stopped in the air. At this instant, the surrounding coundless ice crystals gathered around the old man. A moment later, a giant ice crystal appeared in the air.

Wang Lin didn’t stop. His right hand reached out and the crack to his storage space appeared. A rusty, iron sword immediately appeared in Wang Lin’s hand.

He walked forward with the sword, raised it, and mercilessly slashed down!

The world was still bright right now, but the moment the sword fell, the entire world was enveloped in an extremely bright flash.

There was a heaven-shaking rumble and the ice crystal shattered into pieces of bloody fragments. The old man’s eyes were still filled with shock and disbelief as his body fragmented. Even his origin soul shattered under the impact and exploded in a shockwave of origin energy.

All of this happened in a few breaths of time! Instant kill!

Even until death, the old man still couldn’t believe that he was killed in such a short period of time! However, his death wasn’t unreasonable. Whether it was the slaughter energy or Summon the Rain, these spells were powerful enough to shock anyone in the cultivation world. In addition, the attack from the Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure was enough to make a peak Nirvana Cleanser cultivator lose a layer of skin if they didn’t die instantly!

Without even mentioning Wang Lin’s combat experience, Song Wude hadn’t died to a nobody!

After instantly killing Song Wude, Wang Lin turned to look at the black spirit beast that hadn’t gone too far yet. The purple youth that witnessed all of this screamed in fear.

Wang Lin coldly looked at the youth in purple and stepped forward!

Rays of light arrived behind Wang Lin. The scream filled with extreme fear clearly entered the ears of the Origin Sect’s four elders and echoed inside Lu Yanfei’s mind.

At this instant, the sky cleared and the rain dissipated. A vague rainbow appeared across the sky. The figure chased after the black spirit beast. His white hair was so dazzling that the figure was deeply imprinted in Lu Yanfei’s eyes…

Chapter 1145 – One Strand of Hair

The white hair flowing under the rainbow was an image that would forever be burned into the eyes of the four great elders of the Origin Sect. The smell of blood in the air and the fluctuations from the collapsed origin soul indicated that a shocking battle had occurred here.

That amazing flash, even though it only lasted for a moment, had taken the life of the Nirvana Cleanser cultivator that they were planning to fight to the death against.

This scene caused the four of them to become transfixed.

In their eyes, the white-haired man was only a figure. Although he seemed slow, in reality, he was like lightning as he charged at the youth in purple on the black spirit beast.

The scream of the youth in purple revealed the fear in his heart. Although Rudy was at the Illusory Yin stage, due to his high status, he had never encountered such danger.

Originally, he thought it would be an easy, fun trip. He thought that with the protection of Song Wude and his status as the junior master of the Purple Dao Sect, he could do as he pleased in the rank 5 region!

He could never have dreamt that this would happen. Even now, he still couldn’t believe that Song Wude had been killed by this white-haired youth like this. Not even Song Wude’s origin soul had managed to escape.

The white-haired youth had become the most terrifying beast in the world to him. The figure that closed in made the youth in purple scream even louder.

“I’m the junior master of the Purple Dao Sect. If you kill me, my father, Lu Yuncong, will slaughter the entire continent of Mo Luo!” He was afraid; he had never been this afraid before. The shadow of the white-haired youth got closer and replaced everything in his vision.

The black spirit beast trembled under him and continued to retreat. This spirit beast had already awakened its intelligence, and its fear of Wang Lin was no weaker than the fear it felt toward its master.

The youth in purple seemed to have gone crazy from fear, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, “If you dare to hurt me in the slightest, my Purple Dao Sect will hunt you down for the rest of your life!!” His right hand touched his bag of holding and he took out a black lotus.

The lotus was completely black and bloomed in a demonic away. It gave off a strange light that enveloped the youth’s twisted face. Just as he was about to use the treasure his father had given him, a finger appeared before him. This finger looked gentle, but it instantly landed between his eyebrows.

With a bang, the youth in purple coughed out blood and his vision blurred. Two streams of blood flow out from his eyes. His body flew back like a kite with a broken string and popping sounds echoed from his body. Large amounts of blood mist spray out from his body and dyed the sky red. It was a shocking scene.

His origin soul collapsed. At this moment, he felt his heart pounding, and it was like his body was floating in the air. His heartbeat became weaker and weaker, as if he and his heart were in two different worlds. The sound gradually faded until he could no longer hear it.

At this moment, the direct disciples of the four great elders arrived, and what they saw was a bloody person blown off the black spirit beast. The person exploded into a pile of flesh and blood before falling from the sky.

Inside the blood mist under the rainbow, the white-haired figure was engraved into their hearts.

Xu Yun stared at the figure before her and trembled slightly. She bit her lower lip and her eyes revealed a strange light.

Rudy died. His body collapsed and his origin soul disappeared like his uncle’s. There was a blooming black lotus and a bag of holding in Wang Lin’s hand.

If the person who Rudy threatened wasn’t Wang Lin and instead was a native of the rank 5 region, then it might have had some affect. This would be especially true for those from sects weaker than the Purple Dao Sect. Even on impulse, they would hesitate and would only capture Rudy in the end. They wouldn’t dare to kill him.

After all, within the rank 5 region, the Purple Dao Sect was powerful enough to be ranked in the top 10. Most important was the name “Lu Yuncong!” He was extremely talented, and within the rank 5 region, he was extremely famous!

However, all of these threats were useless before Wang Lin. A mere Lu Yuncong and a mere Purple Dao Sect weren’t qualified in Wang Lin’s eyes to be a threat to his existence!

Whether it was the Thunder Celestial of Allheaven, the Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor, Celestial Emperor Bai Fang’s cross generation disciple, Celestial Lord Qing Shui’s junior apprentice brother, or the disciple of the now awakened Celestial Emperor Qing Lin, any one of these titles had far more weight than anything the Purple Dao Sect could compare to.

Wang Lin’s 1,000 years plus of cultivation experience were not something a genius like Lu Yuncong could compare to. The threat from the Purple Dao Sect was a joke; it couldn’t even compare to a strand of hair on Tuo Sen’s body!

With a wave of his right hand, the giant black spirit beast that was trembling and had just lost its master was put away by Wang Lin. It didn’t dare to resist at all.

The sky was already bright and a new day had arrived with the arrival of the sun. The rainbow was no longer a blur and became clear and bright. As it crossed the sky, it gave off a gentle light. It enveloped the world, the continent, and also the vision of all the disciples of the Origin Sect.

Wang Lin’s white hair flowed, and with one step, he disappeared.

From beginning to end, not a single cultivator from the Origin sect saw Wang Lin’s face. They only saw that indomitable figure and the long, snow white hair.

The surroundings were completely silent, and everyone’s breathing became even heavier. The elders, aside from Lu Yanfei, all looked at each other in shock. In a short period of time, their despair and sadness were replaced with shock. It all happened too fast, and even now they felt like they were dreaming.

“He… Who is he?!”　

“Why did that senior help the Origin Sect?”

“To instantly kill Song Wude, he… What is his cultivation level?”

“He has white hair!” Lu Yanfei softly said, then she let out a faint smile. This smile hadn’t appeared since her teacher was seriously injured.

Her smiling face was like a blooming flower. There was an unspeakable grace and beauty in her happiness.

Her three senior apprentice brothers had thoughtful gazes as they looked at where Wang Lin disappeared. They silently pondered, but the shock in their minds made it so they were unable to calm down.

After a short period of silence, the direct disciples of the elders erupted into cheers. They turned toward the rainbow and returned to the Origin Sect with the four elders.

“The Purple Dao Sect will not sit idly when they hear about Song Wude and Rudy’s deaths…” As the four elders moved, one of the old men suppressed the shock in his heart and sent out his thoughts to the remaining three.

“Before Teacher died, he said ‘north’ and ‘white hair.’ That senior has white hair and is perhaps the person Teacher was talking about. Perhaps our Origin Sect isn’t at its end yet!”

“However, who is this senior? Is he part of our Origin Sect? I have observed the 31 mortals, but I’ve found nothing.”

“If he was willing to help us once, then he will help us a second time!” Lu Yanfei’s divine sense was determined, which caused the other three to silently ponder.

“It is useless to search.Since this senior doesn’t want us to find out, then let things happen naturally.” Lu Yanfei’s eyes were bright and she smiled once more. Her right hand touched her bag of holding and sent inside a force to destroy an old painting.

It didn’t take long for the people of the Origin Sect to return to the sect. They all scattered, filled with excitement. Lu Yanfei didn’t return to her pavilion in the southern mountain but went to the herb courtyard with Xu Yun.

The two women were both very charming. When they stood together, it was a really breathtaking sight. There were some disciples that saw them from a distance, and they entered a moment of trance. However, thinking about Lu Yanfei’s status, they quickly awakened and went to greet them, but they were waved away by Xu Yun. It was clear that they didn’t wish to be disturbed.

“Teacher, he… he lives right here.” Xu Yun’s heart pounded wildly as she spoke to her teacher.

Within the star fog of the rank 5 domain, there was a purple continent that was three times the size of the continent of Mo Luo. From afar, it was like a coiled up fierce beast that was coldly staring at the sky.

The distinct difference from the continent of Mo Luo was that there were four large, black towers that emitted gentle light that surrounded every corner of the continent.

At this moment, the star fog suddenly began to churn, followed by a scream. A 1,000-feet-tall tiger-like beast rushed out from the fog and stared at the purple continent with hatred in its eyes. It could vaguely hear the miserable cries of a female tiger coming from the continent.

As it roared, it moved like lightning toward the continent.

It was so fast that it closed in on the continent in the blink of an eye. It collided with the light barrier around the purple continent, causing the barrier to flicker violently.

The tiger-shaped beast let out another roar and charged once more. However, at this moment, a ray of purple light charged out at an unimaginable speed. Inside it was a middle-aged man wearing a purplish-gold robe. He looked very dignified and his gaze was profound. There was a hint of gloominess on his face.

He was so fast that afterimages appeared. He instantly broke through the barrier and appeared among the stars. With a wave of his hand, purple light appeared and wrapped around the tiger.

“Refine!” His cold voice echoed as the purple light around the fierce beast turned into a giant furnace. Mournful roars came, but they gradually disappeared.　

“Congratulations, Sect Master, in luring another Star Tiger Beast. It won’t take long for Sect Master to refine his Tiger Bone Sword!” A laugh appeared, then an old man wearing the same purple robe appeared beside his man.

Chapter 1146 – The Hope of the Heaven Defying Bead Reaching Completion a Second Time

“I’m still missing nine. However, all the Star Tigers within the area are gone, so I need to go out further…” The middle-aged revealed a grim smile, but before he could continue, his expression suddenly changed. He raised his right hand and reached at the void, creating a crack to his storage space. A jade flew out and immediately cracked, revealing a soul fragment.

The soul fragment was in the shape of Rudy. His eyes were filled with the fear before his death and dissipated before the middle-aged man.

“Junior Master!!” The smile disappeared from the old man in purple and shock filled his eyes.　

The middle-aged man watched the soul fragment disappear. He didn’t move at all and slowly closed his eyes.

The old man beside him was shocked. He looked at the sect master and his heart trembled. He had followed this sect master for many years. He knew that the more calm the sect master was, the bigger the storm to come.

“Where did Rudy go?” After a long time, the middle-aged man opened his eyes. There was a trace of sadness burning in his eyes, but his voice was terrifyingly calm.

The old man bowed down and said respectfully, “Junior Master… Junior Master went to the continent of Mo Luo.” He was still in shock and hadn’t calmed down yet. He couldn’t understand who in the rank 5 region would dare to kill Junior Master Rudy and risk offending the Purple Dao Sect’s Master Lu Yuncong!

“Continent of Mo Luo, Origin Sect… Why did no one tell me about this?” The middle-aged man’s voice was calm, but when it landed in the old man’s ears, the old man trembled. He suddenly remembered something and his face turned pale.

“Junior Master, he…”

“As a cultivator, he still lusted for beauties and was arrogant. He used his status as the junior master of the Purple Dao Sect and ruined quite a few female disciples of various sects. He even did vicious things, such as sucking their origin yin energy…” Without waiting for the old man to finish, the middle-aged man shook his head and seemed to mutter to himself.

“Sect Master…” The old man’s face was pale.

“Who went with him to continent of Mo Luo? It should’ve been Song Wude. That child grew up under Song Wude’s care. Perhaps to him, Song Wude was like a second father. He went to the continent of Mo Luo because he is after Lu Yanfei of the Origin Sect. He was taking advantage of the fact that that old bag of bones died and wanted to make the Origin Sect his inner palace…”

The old man silently pondered. As far as he knew, everything the sect master said was true.

The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the star fog before him. After silently looking for a bit, he turned and walked toward the purple continent.

“That useless child, he is dead, so now there is one less scourge in the world… However, I’m still his father. Since he liked that Lu Yanfei girl, then let that little girl die with him… As for the man that killed him, he can be buried with him as well,” the middle-aged man said without any emotion in his voice.

“He wasn’t like this before…” This figure was more bleak.

The old man’s expression became even more pale. After hesitating for a while, he clenched his teeth and said, “Sect Master, before the Junior Master left, this old man heard Song Wude say… say that the Junior Master was going to the Purple Cloud Sea to take the Heaven Yin Flag that the Purple Dao Sect left there. After taking Lu Yanfei’s origin soul, he was going to use all the female origin souls he collected to feed a Yin Celestial.”

The middle-aged man’s figure suddenly stopped and the calmness in his eyes collapsed. A monstrous wrath revealed itself, but a sense of fear and panic also filled his body.

“Ungrateful child!!”

Continent of Mo Luo, Origin Sect.

Lu Yanfei looked silently at the ordinary house. After hesitating a bit, she walked into the courtyard. Xu Yun followed, and she was very tense. She could clearly hear her heart beating rapidly.

Wang Lin’s door was closed. Lu Yanfei and Xu Yun stood outside the door and became silent.

After a long time, Lu Yanfei bit her lower lip and softly said, “Is Senior here?”

“Not here!” A calm voice came out from the house and entered their ears. They were startled by it as they didn’t think they would get a response like this.

In truth, a very long time ago in the Alliance Star System, a woman also asked this question and also got this answer.

After all, whether it was the original body or the avatar, both were Wang Lin.

Lu Yanfei let out a smile that was very beautiful. She bowed toward the house and softly said, “Teacher once had an uncle-master named Lu Zihao. According to Teacher, Grand Uncle-master Lu Zihao was obsessed with dao. Aside from when he went missing, he had never left the continent of Mo Luo. He never even went to the main sect or had many friends. Not many people in the Origin Sect even remember him due to time.

“Even my three senior apprentice brothers have never seen him. Junior only saw a portrait of him, and it was Teacher who showed it to me. He gave me the portrait… Because this Grand Uncle-master Lu is an ancestor of my Lu family.

“This portrait was far too old and was tattered. On the way back just now, it was destroyed.”

After saying all of this, Lu Yanfei respectfully left with a smile. Xu Yun was confused by her teacher’s words. She had no idea why her teacher had said those things.

Wang Lin sat on the bed and stared at the black lotus in his right hand. He raised his head and his eyes shined brightly. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the house and landed on the departing Lu Yanfei.

Lu Yanfei’s body trembled, but she didn’t stop. She maintained her calmness and walked out of the courtyard.

“What a clever woman!” Wang Lin withdrew his gaze. Aside from when she talked to him on the mountain, they’d had no other contact. Yet this woman was unexpectedly able to come up with such an amazing analysis just from the report from her disciple, their conversion on the mountain, and him killing Song Wude and Rudy.

Xu Yun wasn’t able to understand her words, but with Wang Lin’s cunning, he clearly understood. Lu Yanfei was certain he was the white-haired person, and in her mind, for someone of his cultivation level to hide in the Origin Sect meant that he was either after something in the Origin Sect or was hiding from enemies.

However, Lu Yanfei couldn’t think of anything he would want, so she became more certain about hiding from enemies.

Therefore, if Wang Lin wanted to continue to stay in the Origin Sect, he needed an identity to not cause any suspicion. What Lu Yanfei just said was giving Wang Lin such an identity. As for Wang Lin’s enemies, she obviously had to choose to ignore them.

Wang Lin had met countless people in his life, but not many women this intelligent. Different from Liu Mei’s ever changing mood, different from Red Butterfly’s arrogance, different from Li Muwan’s gentleness. This was wisdom, an unmatched wisdom!

After pondering a bit, Wang Lin revealed a smile and muttered, “Lu Zihao… This identity will allow me to take root in the Cloud Sea Star System!”

The reason Wang Lin paid so much attention to his identity was due to his experience in Allheaven. Wang Lin didn’t notice it then, and in the end his identity was transparent to all the powerful cultivators. This caused him a lot of inconvenience. After all, they would all have the thought of rejecting those that didn’t belong to their system.

In particular, with his cultivation level, it was difficult to deal with the issue of his identity. Although this didn’t solve the issue perfectly, it did give him a path to resolving it.

No longer thinking about this, Wang Lin placed his right hand on the black lotus, then his divine sense spread out and he began studying it. If this black lotus was only a treasure, he wouldn’t pay so much attention to it. However, as he checked it with his divine sense, he was surprised to find that this lotus was a real plant.

A few simple law formations were added as a seal.

“This Cloud Sea Star System is strange to have a naturally-formed treasure like this. If the seal on the lotus is broken, then it can form a powerful protection. It is indeed interesting.” Wang Lin put the lotus down after examining it and picked up the bag of holding from the youth in purple.

The youth in purple had a lot of miscellaneous things inside the bag. Aside from the scattered weapons and pills, there were three things that caught Wang Lin’s attention.

A completely purple bottle, a small golden flag, and an incense stick the size of a baby’s arm. As for celestial jades, there were very few, less than 100 pieces.

“Unfortunately, after reaching the Nirvana Cleanser stage, one no longer uses a bag of holding. A self-opened storage space is impossible for outsider to find even after death. Otherwise, that Nirvana Cleanser cultivator might’ve had some good treasures and pills for me.” Wang Lin shook his head as he picked up the golden flag. After scanning it with his divine sense, his expression became gloomy.

This small flag was filled with yin energy. As Wang Lin’s divine sense spread through it, he immediately found the yin souls of over 100 women. These women were all beautiful, and some of them were incomparable.

However, these women all looked miserable, as they were sealed inside and couldn’t escape. There was the soul of a snake inside that seemed to be devouring these women. The moment Wang Lin’s divine sense swept by, it seemed to have been startled awake from its sleep and released a terrifying aura. Even Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed when he felt this aura.

“This is…” Wang Lin’s mind was shaken and his divine sense retreated from the attack of the beast soul. He stared at the golden flag and his pupils shrank.

“Aura of extreme Yin!!!” Wang Lin suddenly stood up, and his calmness was disturbed. A monstrous surge of emotion hit him and he took a few deep breaths.

“Unfortunately, it is not complete; there is only a trace of extreme Yin. However, the method of breeding it is completely wrong. It can’t be compared to the extreme Yang the All-Seer created by using Bai Wei. This extreme Yin is too poor in quality in comparison… However, it is still a sliver of extreme Yin!!” Wang Lin touched the spot between his eyebrows. After the heaven defying bead was complete with the five elements, it needed Yin and Yang. He had obtained the extreme Yang form Bai Wei and was only lacking the extreme Yin to complete the heaven defying bead the second time!

Chapter 1147 – Xu Yun’s Heartache

Holding the small golden flag, Wang Lin’s eyes closed slowly. His eyes shined as he pondered.

“To use women’s souls to nourish extreme Yin is completely wrong! Back then, the All-Seer used Bai Wei’s extreme Yin body and extracted the extreme Yang during its peak. That’s the correct method.

“In order to obtain a complete extreme Yin, one must obtain it at the peak of extreme Yang!”

After looking at the golden flag, Wang Lin shook his head. At a glance, he could see that all those numerous female Yin souls were added in later on, and it hadn’t been a long time.

“This really is nonsense!” Wang Lin waved his right hand and a storm set off inside the golden flag. His divine sense smashed into the formations that were trapping those women’s souls and broke them.

The moment the formations shattered, the miserable souls flew out, and their eyes were filled with confusion. However, they were all talented people within their sects before they were killed and sealed inside the flag by Rudy, so they quickly regained their sanity and then silently bowed toward Wang Lin. They showed hints of bitterness, liberation, and gratitude as they dissipated.

What awaited them perhaps was reincarnation into another life or perhaps nothing.

Staring at these souls dissipate, Wang Lin became silent. It didn’t take long for all the souls to disappear, leaving only the extreme Yin soul.

This extreme Yin let out a roar and charged out the moment those women’s souls disappeared, as if it wanted to escape as well. Just as it peeked out, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and his left hand formed a restriction. It landed on the golden flag.

Then there was a flash of blue light. The extreme Yin soul seemed to smash into an iron plate and was pushed back as it roared. Wang Lin completely ignored it as his left hand formed more restrictions that landed on the golden flag. He completely sealed it before putting it away.

“Not only is the method to raise this extreme Yin not correct, it’s also not complete. Since this belonged to Rudy, then there must be more clues at the Purple Dao Sect.” After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin picked up the purple bottle..

This jade bottle was warm and there was heat cycling inside. There was a cycle of origin energy inside that formed an eternal rotation. Wang Lin’s divine sense surrounded the bottle. Under the effect of his divine sense, the bottle slowly became transparent, and he clearly saw three pills that were slowly rotating with the origin energy inside.

The three pills were roughly the same size and all gave off a purple glow. There was a fierce aura coming from within them.

After withdrawing his divine sense, Wang Lin’s gaze landed on the third item, which was an incense stick the size of a baby’s arm. He wasn’t unfamiliar with this item. Back in the Alliance, he saw this in the memories of the mosquito beast. The cultivators of the Cloud Sea had used this incense to confuse the mosquito beasts and lure them away from the Four Divine Sect.

Time slowly passed and the rainy season passed, ushering the sun to the continent of Mo Luo. Wang Lin seemed to have grown accustomed to the life in the Origin Sect and spent all his time learning alchemy.

Xu Yun was very respectful toward this person named Ceng Niu that was living next to her. Although Wang Lin hadn’t admitted it yet, Xu Yun’s female intuition told her that Ceng Niu was the white-haired man.

Whenever she thought of Wang Lin’s figure and graceful movement, she would tense up. At this moment, she stared at Wang Lin with confusion.

“This is Ning Shui Grass. It is an item to help create pills. Most pills in my Origin Sect require this…” When a cultivator in the Cloud Sea reached a certain cultivation level, they would gain a certain degree of understanding of alchemy. This had a lot to do with the alchemy methods of the Cloud Sea. What puzzled her was that Ceng Niu didn’t know any of what was considered common sense.

For Wang Lin to refine pills, he would first have to memorize the names and effects of all the herbs. Some of the herbs that he knew from the Alliance had different names here, so Xu Yun had become a target for Wang Lin’s questions.

“This is Ink Cloud Herb, a key component of the Cloud Deficiency Pill.”

Wang Lin’s expression was cold and calm. He had used a very short period of time to memorize all the herbs in this garden.

Wang Lin looked around the garden and asked, “Is there any Mist Flower?” The jade he saw in the daoist temple said that in order to refine a rank 6 or higher pill, on top of the beast soul, there were three even more important herbs. One of those herbs was the Mist Flower.

“The Mist Flower can only grow in continents that are shrouded in the star fog. Rumor has it that the more dense the fog, the more Mist Flowers there are. In the Origin Sect, I only know of three dried Mist Flowers, and they are all with Uncle-Master Li.” After Xu Yun finished explaining, she added one more thing.

“Uncle-Master Li’s alchemy skill is considered unmatched in the Origin Sect.”

Wang Lin nodded and no longered paid any attention to Xu Yun. Instead, he gathered some herbs based on the method of alchemy he had read and returned to the house.

Seeing Wang Lin take the herbs, Xu Yun felt her heart ache, but she didn’t dare to show it on her face. As Wang Lin walked back to his room, Xu Yun quickly said, “This… This requires you to go the alchemy room in the eastern courtyard. Not only is there a pill furnace there, but there are also earth fire and protection formations. That way even, if the furnace explodes there will be no danger.”

“No need.” Wang Lin didn’t turn around as he walked into the room.

It wasn’t until Wang Lin left that Xu Yun stomped her foot and became filled with dissatisfaction. Most of the herbs in the garden were things she had spent a lot of effort gathering. Some had been given to her by her master after her master found them while exploring dangerous wild continents. It can be said that most of the herb in the garden were Xu Yun and her master’s private properties.

The disciples of the sect were all aware of this and wouldn’t dare to come here for herbs. Xu Yun valued these herbs greatly. However, she was helpless as she watched Wang Lin take them away. He didn’t even listen to her and was going to refine without going to the alchemy room. Especially considering how he didn’t even know the names of some of these herb, it was obvious this was the first time he was refining.

Once the pill exploded, not only would the house be destroyed, but even the garden would be affected. Xu Yun stomped her feet but didn’t dare to go up to stop him.

“Hmph, not going to the alchemy room means he must have his own pill furnace. He only knows how to use his high cultivation to bully a junior like me. Bully!” The more Xu Yun thought, the more angry she became. She simply sat down outside and began to wait. When the pill exploded, she would need to do her best to protect the herbs. A large amount of the goodwill she previously had toward Wang Lin had also dissipated.

“Arrogant, arrogant!!” When Xu Yun thought of Wang Lin’s expression, she became even more angry.

“Although alchemy has some relation with cultivation, it doesn’t have much effect. What it requires is experience and countless attempts. No matter how high the cultivation level, the success rate of refining for the first time won’t be high!” Xu Yun frowned as she focused herself and helplessly stood guard.

Wang Lin didn’t pay attention to Xu Yun’s dissatisfaction. After returning to the room, he sat down and waved his hand. All the herbs he had picked floated in the air. His left eye lit up and flames immediately began burning in his left eye.

Alchemy doesn’t necessarily need a pill furnace! A pill furnace was used to not let any of the medication escape and to better condense heat for the pill to take shape.

None of this was a problem for Wang Lin.

The fire of the world moved as he willed. At this moment, white flames appeared and circled around Wang Lin. The fire began to condense until it was a ball of fire.

Wang Lin’s gaze was calm as his right hand reached out. All the herbs in the air began to separate into different portions. One part went to the side and one part went into the fireball.

This was Wang Lin’s first time refining a pill in the Cloud Sea. Although it was only a rank 3 pill, Wang Lin was still very serious. He stared at the fireball and his gaze penetrated inside.

Those herbs rapidly melted inside the fireball and became crumbs. However, with Wang Lin’s control of fire, they didn’t even turn to ash but began fusing. They absorbed each other’s unique medical attribute and began to fuse.

Shortly after, Wang Lin’s right hand reached out and a storage space appeared. A ray of black light flew out into Wang Lin’s hand.

There was a tadpole-like spirit beast soul inside the black light. This was Rudy’s beast. This beast was very arrogant when it followed Rudy. It would often cruelly devour mortals and injured cultivators. It enjoyed the dry sweetness of blood and flesh in its mouth.

However, at this moment, the beast soul was trembling in fear and constantly roaring. It wanted to break out form Wang Lin’s palm, but no matter how much it struggled, it was a pointless endeavor.

As Wang Lin waved his right hand, the beast soul let out a miserable scream and fused with the pill. Soon, a medical fragrance began to spread out inside the room.

Just at this moment, Wang Lin frowned as his right hand reached into the fireball and grabbed the pill. A large portion on the beast soul was immediately pulled out.

The moment Wang Lin’s right hand left the fireball, the half-complete pill trembled and collapsed. Then a destructive force began to spread out.

However, it was stopped by the fireball that wrapped around it. It let out some muffled sounds but didn’t break the fireball.

“Pill explosion!” Outside the house, Xu Yun heard the muffled screams and immediately stood up. She was very tense. However, after waiting for a while, she still didn’t encounter the explosion. All she saw was a gloomy Wang Lin walking out and taking even more herbs.

Xu Yun finally reacted and immediately began stomping her foot. She wanted to get some justice from Wang Lin, but thinking about his gloomy expression just now, she became afraid. She could only complain in her heart.

“What a bully! Hmph, that pill will definitely explode this time as well!”

Chapter 1148 – Wild Continent

Xu Yun’s words came true. In a short span of three days, Wang Lin had refined 16 times and failed every time beside the last one. Every time he failed, he would silently search for the reason before picking more herbs.

Looking at the garden that was still vibrant three days ago and was almost baren now, Xu Yun’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red. This garden had taken her a lot of effort, and even when she refined pills herself, she was very careful and never used too many herbs.

However, in just three days, almost all the herbs were gone. Although the pill explosion she dreaded never occurred, she’d rather have an explosion destroy most of the garden. It was better than being tortured like this.

Looking at the house she hated very much, none of the good will she had toward Wang Lin remained. Xu Yun could not bear it anymore and rushed into the house. She saw Wang Lin sitting there, holding a complete pill.

What made Xu Yun feel very hateful was that Ceng Niu was smiling while looking at the pill. Seeing that smile made Xu Yun’s anger rise.

“Ceng Niu!” Xu Yun was gnashing her teeth and took a deep breath. Thinking about her own speculation of his cultivation level, she suppressed her anger and kept telling herself not to be angry…

After placing her hair behind her ear, Xu Yun softly said, “Ceng Niu, congratulations on refining a pill. Can I see it?”

After experiencing 15 failures, almost all the herbs in the garden had been used to refine this pill. The beast soul had merged with the pill more than 10 times, and the pain of going back and forth was worse than death. The beast soul wanted Wang Lin to succeed so its suffering would end.

Wang Lin looked at the pill in his hand and felt regret. There were a lot of details one had to pay attention to when fusing a beast soul with a pill. These things were not explained in the jade and he had to experience it himself.

At this moment, when Wang Lin heard Xu Yun’s words, he subconsciously touched his nose. He looked past Xu Yun’s beautiful body at the almost barren garden, and even with his 1,000 years of cultivation, he felt a bit embarrassed.

With a wave of his right hand, Wang Lin threw the pill at Xu Yun. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a scream.

Xu Yun’s eyes widened as she stared at the pill and could no longer contain the anger in her heart. At this moment, every notion of the white figure, the graceful finger, the powerful senior were all thrown out of her head. For the past three days, she watched helplessly as the herbs she had spent so much time to raise, the herbs she wasn’t even willing to use herself, were pulled out one by one.

In the end, he had only refined a rank 3 pill. A rank 3 pill was very precious, and it was something a Corporeal Yang cultivator would need. However, all the herbs inside her garden should’ve been enough to refine a rank 4 pill. If it was Uncle-master Li, then there was a sliver of a chance of refining a rank 5 pill.

“Ceng Niu!!! Return my herbs!!!” Xu Yun’s eyes were red and she was about to get justice from Wang Lin. However, when she raised her head, she found that the room was empty, Ceng Niu was gone.

Wang Lin’s figure appeared in the sky above the continent of Mo Luo and he touched his nose once more. He revealed a bitter smile and Xu Yun’s voice still echoed in his ears.

“Forget it. It’s only a courtyard of herbs…” Wang Lin shook his head and flew into the sky as a ray of light. He disappeared over the horizon.

After breaking through the light barrier around the continent, the cloud sea appeared before Wang Lin’s eyes. In the jade inside the daoist temple, aside from alchemy and beast soul-related information, there was also a star map of the rank 5 region the continent of Mo Luo belonged to. After studying the star map, Wang Lin found that aside from the continents that people lived on, there was another type of continent called the “wild continents.”

These were similar to the abandoned planets in the Alliance or Allheaven. However, in the Cloud Sea, these wild continents didn’t have black towers, so they were shrouded by the star fog. They became lairs for fierce beasts and often housed numerous fierce beasts.

Some very precious herbs often grew on continents like these.

Following the star map in his mind, Wang Lin charged into the star fog. The star fog was like clouds. Aside from covering vision, it also prevented divine sense from spreading too far. Wang Lin wasn’t familiar with the Cloud Sea Star System, so he couldn’t help but slow down.

On the wild continent near the continent of Mo Luo, the beasts had gradually become more scarce throughout the years. It had become a place for the Origin Sect disciples to train. Only some low level beast remained, and even most of the herbs had been cleared out.

This would naturally not be Wang Lin’s choice. He was going to go for a wild continent even further out, one where fierce beasts lived and not many cultivators had explored, so there would be still large amounts of herbs there.

Wang Lin moved faster and faster. There would often be a flash of light as he broke through the fog and went into the distance. Although his divine sense could only probe within 10,000 feet, a Nirvana Scryer cultivator could only reach 1,000 feet. Only Nirvana Cleanser cultivators could reach 10,000 feet.

Along the way, various strange beasts appeared within Wang Lin’s divine sense. These beasts were all eerie; one was a long, scaled fish. When it opened its mouth, countless sharp teeth could be seen, and it gave off a fishy smell.

There were a few that looked like dragons, but their bodies were only few hundred feet long. These red beasts moved like lightning and lived in herds. Hundreds of thousands of them moved through the cloud sea.

Also, there were beasts like the Nether Beast Wang Lin had seen, but much smaller, only few thousand feet wide. These beasts were slow, but even those red beasts avoided them.

There were also tadpole-like black beasts like the one Rudy had. They hid within the fog, giving off a hidden pressure. However, when those beasts felt Wang Lin’s divine sense, they all quickly retreated.

While moving through the fog, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and his right hand reached at the void. A storage space crack opened and buzzing sounds came out as the mosquito beasts flew out.

These dozens of mosquito beasts flew around and emitted thunderous cries filled with joy. In particular, Wang Lin’s purple mosquito beast was flying left and right in joy.

Wang Lin’s body flickered and he sat down on the mosquito beast. Without waiting for Wang Lin’s order, it rushed forward and flew inside the star fog with its companions.

Time seemed to go on for eternity inside this star fog. It was hard to notice because there was no night or day, only the dense star fog that surround everything.

After silently calculating for a bit, Wang Lin calculated it had been three days. With his speed, he was already far away from the continent of Mo Luo and was closing in on a dangerous wild continent marked on the map.

It didn’t take long for a giant shadow to appear in Wang Lin’s divine sense. This shadow was large enough to cover the sky, and he could vaguely hear roars coming from it.

Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and the mosquito beast below him because cautious. As they closed in, the shadow cleared up. This was a huge wild continent!

Wang Lin jumped off the mosquito beast, pierced through the fog, and landed on the wild continent. This place was filled with star fog. If not for his divine sense and his feet standing on the continent, it would’ve been very difficult to distinguish this place from just space.

The surroundings were completely silent with fierce roars coming from the distance. These roars seemed to indicate that this place wasn’t as peaceful as it seemed.

The ground consisted of black sand. Wang Lin slowly walked forward on the sand and eventually arrived before a ruin. This was obviously once a mortal city, but there was no sign of life. The buildings had collapsed and there were dry brown red blood marks.

Just at this moment, a black shadow charged out from a ruined house. It let out a roar along with its fishy breath and charged at Wang Lin. The shadow was only few dozen feet long, but it moved like lightning as it charged at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin remained calm. He didn’t even need to act, as the mosquito beast charged out and went straight toward the shadow. With a bang, the shadow’s body trembled and the mosquito’s mouth pierced through its head. Then the mosquito sucked and the entire black shadow shrank.

The mosquito beast flew back with disdain in its eyes.

Wang Lin patted the mosquito beast’s head and pointed ahead. The mosquito beast king immediately flew out leading more than 10 of its kind into the ruins.

They moment they flew forward, many shadows charged out from the ruins. There were at least a dozen of them. They all let out roars and charged at the mosquito beasts.

With Wang Lin’s insight and divine sense, he immediately saw that they were black apes. They were exactly the same as the ones inside the pill Xu Yun had devoured.

“Leave the souls behind!” Wang Lin’s voice calmly echoed in the ruin. The mosquito beasts and ape beasts weren’t even on the same level, so the battle soon ended. The apes died one by one, leaving behind a powerful smell of blood.

More than 10 mosquito beasts flew back to Wang Lin. They let out cries and also spat out beast souls, which were put away by Wang Lin.

Due to the smell of blood, the roar of beasts from afar became even louder and the ground began to vibrate. Even gusts of wind appeared to push the fog before it.

Wang Lin’s expression was still calm as he walked into the ruin. He scanned it with his divine sense and left after finding no herbs.

His figure moved through the fog as if he had merged with the mist and gave off a powerful killing intent. He seemed to give off a fiercer aura than any of the fierce beasts, and the 10 mosquito beasts cried as they circled above him.

Before this fierce aura, even the roars from the distance gradually weakened until they eventually disappeared. The ground stopped trembling and the wind disappeared.

Chapter 1149 – Mobilization and Control

This continent was named Kai Ape on the star map. It had many mountains, and they appeared and disappeared within the fog. The roars of fierce beasts came from the mountains.

The ruins of cities that were hidden everywhere in the fog silently showed how prosperous this continent used to be.

However, now it was just a ruin, and the sounds of the past had disappeared. What remained was just the vestige of time.

Among the fierce beasts, there were those that liked to be in groups and those that liked to be aloof.

At this moment, in one of the mountains, the roar of a specific beast was the most violent. The roar was so intense that not even the fog could hide it.

This mountain was completely black and towered into the air like a sword that pierced into the sky. Large apes nearly 100 feet tall were moving though the mountain, desperately rushing to the peak.

There was a giant black ape fierce beast sitting in the lotus position like a human. It was no less than 1,000 feet tall. Its arms were as thick as old pine trees, needing several people to completely surround.

There was giant purple tree that only reach its calf where it was sitting. The trunk of the tree was mostly withered, as if it had lived for far too long. However, it wasn’t dead; it still had many branches with lots of leaves growing on them.

What was strange was that the leaves of the tree were snow white and the veins on the leaves were very easy to see, as if they were made of crystal. There were also two fist-sized fruits that were a mix of black and white. It was a strange sight.

This giant ape opened its eyes, and its eyes lit up brightly like two bright flames. Its eyes emitted such a fierce gaze that it penetrated through the fog. The gaze landed on a white-haired figure that was surrounded by a large amount of fierce beasts in between the mountain peaks!

When it looked at Wang Lin, Wang Lin waved his right hand and a black wind appeared, taking the lives of more than a dozen black apes. Wang Lin raised his head and met the cold gaze.

Roar!

A heaven-shaking roar came from the top of the mountain. The fierceness of the beasts around Wang Lin increased and a wave of fishy smell blasted at Wang Lin. They wanted to tear his body apart and even devour his soul.

Wang Lin’s expression was calm as he looked at the large amount of fierce beasts before him. He rushed forward and turned into a ray of light as he charged toward the mountain top.

In the sky, more than 10 mosquito beasts roared, and around them were some eagle-like beasts. These beasts gave off a ferocious aura and began a life and death battle with the mosquito beasts.

Wang Lin moved forward. All of the beasts that blocked him exploded into a rain of blood with a wave of his hand. His hand reached out to open his storage space and flying swords flew out. These flying swords circled around Wang Lin in a sword formation. He didn’t pause at all as he slaughtered his way up the mountain.

From afar, a white line moved at an unimaginable speed, causing a rain of blood as it closed in on the mountain peak.

The giant ape that was sitting there revealed a ferocious gaze and stood up. When it stood up, the entire mountain trembled, and it charged down the mountain at Wang Lin. It wasn’t any slower than Wang Lin, and in an instant, they were about to collide.

The black ape revealed a ferocious gaze and smashed down with its right arm. However, Wang Lin’s body immediately disappeared without a trace and the black ape missed. Then it saw Wang Lin reappear next to the giant tree on the mountain peak.

The giant ape’s pupils obviously shrank and it let out a roar. It swung its right hand, sending a gust of wind that seemed to become one with the world toward Wang Lin.

Wang Lin’s right hand fell on the giant tree and gently patted it. The giant tree disappeared with its roots as Wang Lin put it inside his storage space.

At this moment the gust of wind arrived, Wang Lin’s left hand formed a seal and pointed forward. Strands of slaughter energy appeared and formed a slaughter storm around him. The slaughter energy wailed as it charged at the gust of wind.

A thunderous rumble echoed and the gust of wind instantly collapsed. The slaughter energy didn’t pause at all before slamming into the giant ape.

The giant ape let out a heaven-shaking roar when the slaughter energy collided with its body and caused a bloody mess. Its body was mercilessly thrown into the air.

Wang Lin raised his head and his eyes lit up. His body moved like a meteor and closed in on the giant ape. He pointed at the giant ape’s body multiple times!

Every time his finger landed, the giant ape would let out a miserable roar and tremble. Every time Wang Lin’s finger landed, a new hole would open up on the giant ape’s body and a large amount of blood would spray out, dyeing the surroundings red.

Rays of origin energy entered the black ape through Wang Lin’s finger and formed a seal.

Wang Lin withdrew his finger and said coldly, “Are you willing to become my spirit beast?” He had already been on this wild continent for seven days. He had killed many fierce beasts and gathered a large amount of herbs.

Some of these beasts could use spells and fight against cultivators. There were even several rank 5 fierce beasts that could match Nirvana Scryer cultivators, but they had all been killed by Wang Lin and had their souls taken.

The giant black ape was also a rank 5 beast, but it had very tough body. Even after being hit by Wang Lin, it was only seriously injured and not dead. Even among the rank 5 beasts, it was at the peak and could enter rank 6 at any time. This was why Wang Lin suddenly wanted to tame it.

What answered Wang Lin was an even more violent roar and a punch from the ape’s left arm. The ape’s fist set off a gust of wind and even contained a faint aura of an ancient god’s punch. This really showed how powerful the black ape was.

Wang Lin frowned. He wasn’t fused with his original body, so his body wasn’t as strong as the black ape’s. He let out a cold snort and was going to dodge, but at this moment, for some unknown reason, the scene of that old man using a palm to block the arm of an ancient god appeared in his mind!

Wang Lin silently pondered as he faced the gust of wind. He was completely calm. All the origin energy in his body moved toward his palm and gathered there, causing a thunderous rumble. He simply closed his eyes and the scene of the old man stopping Tuo Sen’s hand replayed repeatedly. Wang Ling gradually felt a sense of enlightenment.

It was just like how he had gained enlightenment from the handprint in the Rain Celestial Realm. On this wild continent, inside this fog, he was facing a situation similar to what the old man did against Tuo Sen.

Wang Lin had seen the third step before and had also been able to experience the third step with Qing Lin’s help. All of these allowed Wang Lin to gain a startling enlightenment regarding the spell the old man had used that obviously belonged to the third step.

The gust of wind blew Wang Lin’s clothes backward and the giant ape’s arm closed in. The moment it was about to smash into Wang Lin, Wang Lin opened his eyes and gently placed his palm on the giant ape’s arm, which was already before his face.

A powerful force came out from the arm and collided with the origin energy in Wang Lin’s palm. There was a thunderous rumble, and his clothes flapped violently in the wind and his white hair was blown backwards. However, his body didn’t move at all!

The giant ape’s body also trembled. It felt like its arm hit fog and didn’t have any feeling of contact at all. Instead, its body trembled and it felt a sudden, inexplicable pain.

Wang Lin’s eyes became brighter and brighter as the old man’s action replayed endlessly in his mind until it was almost second nature. He subconsciously lifted his left hand and quickly pointed at the back of his right palm!

Every time his fingertip fell, origin energy would gather from the world and condense into his palm. After pointing three times, Wang Lin’s face turned slightly red, but his eyes lit up and he let out a roar.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

The giant ape immediately retreated and a large amount of blood gushed out from his arm. A clear palm print was left on the arm along with three cracks from the finger. The cracks began to rapidly spread along the giant ape’s arm.

The cracks continued to spread, the rumbling sound continued, and blood sprayed everywhere.

Wang Lin’s eyes were bright. He didn’t look at the giant ape, but looked at his right hand with a hint of enlightenment. He didn’t know what the name of the spell was, but he vaguely felt like he had gasped something. Just now, he wasn’t using his own origin energy to mobilize the origin energy of the world, he was controlling it instead!

Controlling the origin energy of the world by force required origin energy form all directions to form a tyrannical attack!

A mournful cry interrupted Wang Lin’s thoughts, and the giant ape’s eyes filled with fear. It looked at the three cracks spreading across his body. The ape felt like it would be torn to pieces if it moved a bit too hard.

At the moment of danger, the giant ape began to glow white. Under this white light, an illusory soul appeared above its head.

This illusory soul was blurry, but it looked like the ape with a more human shape. It looked like it wanted to charge out from the ape’s body and leave!

Upon seeing this, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up.

“Soul condensed into spirit!” According to the jade, this was a spell only rank 6 beasts could use. It was unexpected that this giant ape would have a breakthrough at this moment of life and death.

Wang Lin took a step forward and instantly arrived before the giant ape. Then his right hand slammed down and the soul of the giant ape was pushed back into its body.

Wang Lin stared at the giant ape’s eyes and calmly said, “Become my spirit beast.”

The giant ape’s body trembled and its eyes filled with fear. It had already awakened its intelligence and naturally understood Wang Lin’s words. It nodded.

Wang Lin’s right hand hit the giant ape and the three cracks on its body immediately disappeared. At the same time, his right hand formed a beast-controlling seal and placed it on the giant ape. The seal landed between the giant ape’s eyebrows and disappeared.

At this moment, the mosquito beasts had killed all the eagle-shaped beasts in the sky and were hovering next to the giant ape. Wang Lin sat down on the shoulder of the giant ape and looked ahead.

The giant ape let out a roar as it charged off into the distance like a meteor!

Chapter 1150 – Shocking Change

This vast star system was filled with star fog. Although it seemed quiet, there was heavy killing intent within the fog. This was the rank 5 region of the Cloud Sea, and about 40% of the continents here belonged to sects.

For the rank 1 to 4 regions, the rank 5 region was an unreachable existence. If someone from a rank 5 sect went to the rank 4 region, they would be welcomed with grandeur.

At this moment in the rank 5 region, a whistling sound appeared in this calm fog. A ray of light flew within fog, and inside the light was a dragon-like spirit beast. There was a dignified cultivator standing on the head of this beast.

The fog began churning even more intensely, and the surrounding beasts all scattered in fear. Several more rays of light passed by.

This didn’t end. In just seven short minutes, no less than a dozen rays of light broke through the fog and quickly moved through the rank 5 region.

There were various spirit beasts within those rays of light, and there was a cultivator standing on the back of each of these beasts.

None of these cultivators belonged in the rank 5 region; all of them belonged to the rank 6 region. The appearance of these people shook the rank 5 region.

This wasn’t the only place. This happened in more than six places in the rank 5 region. These cultivators all had gloomy expressions, but they were hiding ecstasy and excitement along with endless greed.

These cultivators that came from the rank 6 region all had the exact same goal: a wild continent in the rank 5 region!

The ground in north of the continent Wang Lin was on continued to tremble as if something heavy was landing on the ground. The fog was being churned and pushed forward.

Some bird-like beasts let out cries as they flew far away from the fog. On the ground, many more fierce beasts scattered. To them, the rumbling from the fog was extremely terrifying.

A moment later, a giant figure more than 1,000 feet tall appeared in the fog. This figure was extremely sturdy, and when it got closer, it finally revealed itself.

It was a huge black ape!

There were bull-like beasts with red eyes chasing after the black ape. They churned the fog and kicked up a dust storm.

Aside from these bull-like beasts, there were seven more different kinds of beast herds. They were mixed together, forming a long line. It seemed like they were refusing to give up their pursuit of the black ape even if it meant death.

In the sky, there were some bird beasts that were chasing like crazy. Anyone who saw this would feel their scalp go numb. Even powerful cultivators would be shocked because there were simply too many beasts! There were obviously some rank 5 beasts mixed in that threw spells at the black ape.

However, the black ape was extremely flexible and had very thick skin, so it dodged many of the spells and those that landed on its body didn’t have much effect.

This black ape was running on the ground. The rumbling sound was the sound of the black ape’s footsteps! It moved very fast and created a powerful gust of wind as it ran. There was a mountain before it. As the ape ran, it mercilessly kicked off the ground, causing the earth to shatter. It directly jumped over the mountain and charged toward another mountain.

In only a few breaths of time, it arrived at the top of the mountain. Several eagle-like beast charged at the black ape.

However, before they got close, they burst into a rain of blood as the black ape waved its arm. It seemed like no fierce beast could stop the black ape. It rampaged up the top of the mountain, and at the peak lay a nest.

The black ape got close, then its hand directly smashed into the nest.

There was a bang as the nest shattered into countless pieces, revealing a small patch of red grass growing there.

The black ape’s hand didn’t stop. After destroying the nest, it directly grabbed the rock near the red grass and pulled it out.

The black ape let out a roar filled with joy and then ran off into the distance.

Those eagle-shaped beasts screamed and no less than 1,000 eagle beasts merged into the crazed beast tide and chased the black ape!

The black ape crushed the rock in its hand, revealing the red grass, and tossed it over its shoulder. Wang Lin, who was sitting on the shoulder, grabbed it. After taking a look, he put it inside his storage space.

Wang Lin gently patted the black ape’s body. The black ape immediately felt it and let out another even more joyful roar. It seemed to move even faster.

The earth shook. From afar, the black ape jumped up and down, kicking up dust everywhere. Behind it was the beast stampede that chased closely after the black ape.

There were very few cultivators that dared to provoke the fierce beasts like this on a wild continent and stole herbs so arrogantly. The power of one beast might not be a threat, but once thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of beasts gathered, their combined power was enough to shock anyone!

There were also cultivators from rank 5 sects watching from away. They stared at all of this like wooden chickens and were unable to utter a word.

They were a group of seven and were very cautious from the moment they arrived here, afraid of attracting too many beasts, so they naturally didn’t get many herbs. When they saw how arrogant the black ape was, they were completely shocked.

The black ape quickly ran, and with one jump, it crossed thousands of feet and arrived at another mountain. This mountain peak was like a sword and was extremely steep, but it was nothing to the black ape. After arriving at the mountain, the ape reached toward a bunch of mist flowers that were growing on the peak.

It immediately took the flowers inside the fog.

Just at this moment, a scream came from the sky. It was a rank 5 eagle beast that was almost 500 feet large charging at the ape.

It was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than 1,000 feet away!

Wang Lin’s expression was neutral, as if he didn’t even see it. The black ape’s eyes narrowed as it grabbed the top of the mountain and swung its body over the top of the mountain. Its stout right foot immediately kicked the black eagle.

The black eagle let out a painful cry and blood sprayed everywhere. The black ape didn’t continue to fight, but borrowed the force to leap into the distance.

Even more fierce beasts started chasing it.

Shi Luoxing was sitting in the lotus position in a dark valley. His face was pale and there was dried blood on the corner of his mouth. His black hair was scattered and he was in a sorry state.

A ghost-like howl continued to echo and whistle through the area. It didn’t take long for four figures to stagger in, and when they got within 30 feet of Shi Luoxing, one of them coughed out a mouthful of blood.

“Teacher, Third Brother died. We… can’t break out…” These five were all youths, and their white robes were covered in blood marks.

Shi Luoxing pondered. He didn’t open his eyes, but sadness appeared on his face.

He and his disciples were inside this valley that was filled with fog. Dead souls filled this fog, and outside the valley, there were eight giant skulls floating there. Green lightning linked them together to form a formation.

This formation was very intricate. It gathered the souls of those that died over the countless years on the wild continent. It then turned those souls into something tangible and used them to power this formation.

These dead souls couldn’t be refined into pills. Alchemy required the souls of living beasts! A dead soul was mostly just a sliver of resentment formed at the moment of death that refused to dissipate.

There was an old woman sitting on top one of the eight skulls. This old woman was a bag of bones and hideous like an angry ghost. If a mortal saw her, they would be frightened to death. She opened her eyes, and her gaze revealed a eerie intent.

“Fellow Cultivator Shi, you only have four or your 19 disciples left. Why continue wasting their lives? If you hand that thing over, this old woman will leave immediately.”

A gloomy voice echoed throughout the valley and clearly entered the ears of these five people. The faces of the four youths were deathly pale as they silently looked at their master.

“Shi Luoxing, it is not worth losing your life over some worldly possession. Although your cultivation level is high, you have been poisoned by my Five Poison Sect’s poison. If you use your full power any time soon, you will definitely die. Consider it carefully.”

Shi Luoxing’s face twitched as he slowly opened his eyes. They shined brightly, but there was a hint of bitterness on his face. He was the head disciple of the Clear Flow Sect in the rank 6 region, and he was at the late stage of Nirvana Cleanser. After finding some clues, he secretly brought his disciples to the rank 3 region to search for something.

He originally didn’t think this clue was likely to be true, but he unexpectedly found that the clue was true and everything went smoothly. However, after finding the item, not only was his whereabouts exposed, but even the item he obtained became known. Afterward, he was besieged and lost countless disciples. He had even been affected by a strange poison and had to flee to this valley to expel the poison.

However, before he could dispel the strange poison, he was caught by this old woman of the Five Poison Sect. She had used her sect’s formation to trap him inside the valley. He had already sent a message to his sect in secret, but it would take some time for help from his sect to arrive.

“Fellow Cultivator Shi, even if your Clear Flower Sect sends people, it will be useless! According to what this old woman knows, within the rank 6 domain, aside from my Five Poison Sect, the Mountain Peak Spirit Sect, the Dao Spell Sect, the Escape Sect, and the Devil Collection Sect all came and are after the things in your hand!

“The jade of the rank 8 Heaven Breaking Sect and the legendary pill recipe of a Nirvana Void pill!”

Chapter 1151 – Came So Quickly

Wang Lin had been on this wild continent for a while. Considering the matter at the Origin Sect, he couldn’t stay on the this wild continent much longer.

Although he wasn’t afraid of the Purple Dao Sect, if he wasn’t there, the Origin Sect would be wiped out with their present strength. If it was the past, Wang Lin wouldn’t have cared, but since he had killed people of the Purple Dao Sect, he was already involved in this matter.

Moreover, that clever female cultivator, Lu Yanfei, had also respectfully gifted him an identity. Also, there was the clue of the extreme Yin that he needed to obtain from the people of the Purple Dao Sect.

Therefore, Wang Lin decided to act arrogantly for once and used the black ape he had just tamed to rush into nest of these fierce beasts to steal the herbs by force.

He allowed the army of the beasts to follow them. It has to be said that Wang Lin didn’t think the black ape would be able to steal so well. It even seemed… very used to this.

This kind of proficiency obviously wasn’t something learned overnight. After doing this for so long, it had become second nature.

During these days, Wang Lin didn’t even need to set a target. The ape was very familiar with this continent and moved like lightning. It would rush in take the herb and then run away without looking back.

After each successful steal, the black ape couldn’t help but let out a roar of excitement. It was as if… as if it was very satisfied with its own behavior.

What made Wang Lin smile wryly was that he vaguely felt like this black ape was famous on this wild continent. It was very skilled at avoiding the beasts chasing it, as if it often did this.

If these fierce beasts had only had their herbs stolen once, they wouldn’t chase for several days without caring about exhaustion. There was a hint of madness and… deep hatred in them.

Wang Lin began to speculate that some of the herbs these fierce beasts were hiding didn’t grow at the mountain peaks but in other places. Places that Wang Lin would need to spread out his divine sense to find. Otherwise, these places would be too difficult to discover with his eyes due to the fog.

However, the black ape wasn’t affected, as if it already knew where the herbs were hiding. It moved like lightning as it stole the herbs and left. It was as if the black ape had already been observing everything for a long time.

During these days of looting, the black ape warmed up to Wang Lin. Sometimes it would look over its shoulder at Wang Lin as if it was looking at someone who was in the same trade.

It was due to this finding that Wang Lin recalled the day he tamed the black ape. Even when he clearly revealed a stronger cultivation and injured the black ape, the ape wasn’t willing to yield. Instead, its eyes were filled with hatred and unwillingness. It wasn’t until the threat of death that it finally yielded.

Presumably, this black ape that often stole others’ herbs must have felt very complicated when it was robbed instead.

“However, there seems to be too many fierce beasts chasing us…” Wang Lin sat on the back of the black ape and looked at the dust storm behind him. Angry roars constantly came from behind him and into his ears.

He had already put the mosquito beasts in his storage space. The current situation wasn’t suitable for the mosquito beasts to appear.

There were simply too many fierce beasts chasing them, and many were beasts they didn’t even steal form. They moment they saw the black ape, they joined the army pursuing the ape.

From afar, it was impossible to see how many fierce beasts there were. You could only see a line of dust being kicked up, and the fierce beasts were determined to catch the black ape.

The black ape turned a blind eye to all of this. As it ran, it would sometimes twist its body to avoid spells. There were a few occasions where it was pushed into a bad situation and it would roar repeatedly as if it was cursing.

Wang Lin revealed a smile as his right hand reached at the void and opened his storage space. He took out a yellow talisman and placed it on the black ape’s shoulder.

In an instant, a yellow storm erupted around the black ape and it charged into the sky. The black ape’s body trembled and its eyes filled with joy. Its speed suddenly increased, and it jumped into the air and landed before the beast army.

However, it didn’t immediately escape; it roared at the beast army. Then it rushed into the beast army, punching and kicking its way through before breaking out on the other side.

The beasts all roared and became even more crazy.

Seeing that the black ape was about to charge back in, Wang Lin frowned slightly and patted the black ape’s shoulder. The black ape immediately stopped and began to run once more.

Time slowly passed. Due to the black ape becoming faster, it became like a robber. It swept through every area that it knew had herbs and immediately left after taking them.

The beast army behind Wang Lin gradually grew even larger. The earth trembled and the fog churned.

After circling the wild continent, the black ape seemed unsatisfied. It charged toward the center of the continent with the beast army following it. Wang Lin calculated the time and didn’t stop the black ape.

During these days at the wild continent, Wang Lin gradually learned that there were fierce beasts of even higher rank inside. The black ape quickly rushed toward the center of the continent. There weren’t many mountains here, and instead it was filled with valleys surrounded by hills.

The valleys were mostly filled with fog, making it impossible to see inside, but there would usually be an eerie pressure coming from inside them.

When the black ape charged into the valley, Wang Lin became serious. These valleys were too quiet with no roars of fierce beasts. Once the black ape entered, it was completely empty.

It was as if all the fierce beasts here had disappeared.

Wang Lin wasn’t the only one puzzled; even the black ape slowed down. It stared ahead and didn’t know if it could continue.

Wang Lin pondered a bit and the earth began to tremble. The beast army had rushed into the central part of the continent and charged at the black ape.

Wang Lin raised his head and his eyes lit up as he pointed forward. The black ape immediately began to rush forward. Under Wang Lin’s command, the black beast didn’t move fast and the beast army gradually caught up. It looked like this beast army was charging into these valleys under the command of the black ape.

Time quickly passed. As the black ape moved through the valley, the beast army also rushed in.

Just at his moment, Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed. He stood up and stared ahead. At the same time, a gloomy voice came from ahead.　

“The Five Poison Sect has a matter to attend to here. Irrelevant people, quickly leave… Eh!!!” The gloomy voice just had begun speaking when it turned into a cry.

The voice obviously saw the endless army of fierce beasts that were chasing the black ape!

At this moment, Wang Lin’s divine sense also saw the eight giant skulls outside the valley that were absorbing the dead souls and converting them into attacks.

He also saw a withered old woman standing on one of the skulls!

The old woman’s pupils shrank. The fog here made it so she couldn’t see very far and her divine sense was limited. However, the vibrations from the earth gradually grew stronger, and soon the endless beast wave entered the range of her divine sense.

At this moment, she couldn’t help but gasp. However, with her cultivation level, her intelligence was high. After seeing the black ape, she immediately realized that this large number of beasts was chasing the black ape and the white-haired cultivator on its shoulder.

A hint of killing intent appeared in her eyes. She didn’t believe this was a coincidence. Either it was the Clear Flower Sect sending reinforcements or one of the other six sects had arrived early.

“They came so fast!” The old woman took a step forward and charged at the black ape. A poison mist began to spread out before her.

Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he immediately realized that he had accidentally entered a battle. These eight skulls were obviously a formation to trap and kill a person or beast inside the valley.

However, he didn’t have time to explain. The old woman was too fast and the poison was already blowing this way, plus she had killing intent. Wang Lin jumped off the black ape and gave the black ape a command.

The black ape silently changed directly forward at the eight skulls around the valley.

At the same time, Wang Lin’s right hand formed a seal and pointed forward. Black wind immediately appeared and turned into black dragons that charged at the old woman.

The old woman’s cultivation level was the same as Song Wude’s, mid stage Nirvana Cleaner. However, her poison cultivation made her very powerful and far stronger than Song Wude. Seeing the black wind closing in, she immediately formed a seal and spat out three mouthfuls of air!

The first breath turned into red fog that quickly spread out. It collided with the black wind and a heaven-shaking rumble occured.

The second breath turned into black water that sprayed out like rain. It penetrated the red fog and charged straight at Wang Lin. Every drop of black water contained a strange poison. If just one drop landed, it would be enough to decay his flesh into a pool of blood.

The third breath flashed seven colors before it turned into a statue more than 1,000 feet tall!

“Poison King, please appear! Poison Spirit Seal!” The old woman was vicious and immediately used her most powerful spell. The poison king statue’s eyes lit up. Then light that seemed corporeal shot out of them and formed a black mark before the statue!

The moment the seal appeared, it charged at Wang Lin. If it landed on his body, on top of his flesh turning into a pool of blood, even his origin soul would instantly die from the poison!

The old woman was extremely vicious. In order to take the jade and Nirvana Void pill recipe for herself, she had used her strongest spell to kill Wang Lin. She was even worried Wang Lin would doge her spells, so she waved her sleeve and a small snake appeared like lightning. This small snake was her life-linked beast and was completely black. There was a small crown that looked like a rooster’s comb on its head, and the moment it appeared, a fishy smell filled the area.

Chapter 1152 – Inside the Valley

However, this old woman had underestimated Wang Lin’s black wind. Now that Wang Lin had reached the Nirvana Cleanser stage, the power of Bai Fen’s spells began to show their true nature. More importantly, after the fortune Qing Lin had given him, Wang Lin gained a deep level of understanding of Bai Fan’s spells.

When the five black dragons collided with the red fog the old woman spat out, a thunderous rumble echoed. The five dragons roared, quickly tore through the red fog, and condensed into one.

These five black dragons quickly fused and a powerful aura appeared. It quickly turned into a black spear! This spear wasn’t real and was transparent, but the aura from it was heaven-shaking.

The spear charged out. It ignored the black rain and poison seal and closed in on the old woman!

All of this happened in a flash. Almost at the moment the old woman spat out the three breaths and took out the small snake, the black spear was less than 100 feet from her!

A powerful, cold wind caused the old woman’s expression to change greatly. The wrinkles on her face were pushed in by the wind and her pupils shrank as he quickly retreated. She didn’t have time to control the spells attacking Wang Lin, and her hands quickly formed a seal. Black scales appeared over her wrinkly skin. At this moment, she didn’t look human, but more like a humanoid beast.

Killing intent flashed through Wang Lin’s eyes and he floated in the air. The first thing that arrived was the seal formed by the gaze of the statue. It moved very fast and closed in on Wang Lin’s chest.

There wasn’t time to dodge, but Wang Lin didn’t intend to retreat. This old woman’s cultivation level was slightly higher than Wang Lin’s and her spells were far more powerful than Song Wude’s. Her attacks were vicious, but Wang Lin had killed his fair share of Nirvana Cleanser cultivators!

The braver man wins on the narrow path! The moment the poison seal closed in, Wang Lin raised his right hand and pushed out. He was suddenly less than seven inches from the poison seal!

Just at this moment, Wang Lin’s left hand pointed at the back of his right palm at a very fast speed. Every time he pointed, a thunderous roar would echo. All the origin energy within 10,000 feet was being controlled by an tyrannical method to gather into Wang Lin’s fingertip and then go into his palm.

Although this sounds slow, it only took an instant. The moment the poison closed in on Wang Lin’s palm, an earth-shattering bang came from Wang Lin’s palm and spread outwards.

Under this impact, the black rain spat out by the old woman was no longer able to get close and was pushed away. It wasn’t able to injure Wang Lin at all.

This bang was louder than thunder and even began to echo as it spread across the continent. Even Wang Lin couldn’t withstand this sound, and he couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

The poison seal trembled and countless cracks appeared on it before it shattered. The tyrannical origin energy from Wang Lin’s palm pushed the shattered seal back and it landed on the chest of the statue.

A black handprint appeared on the chest of the statue and two cracks began to spread across the statue. Then the statue shattered into pieces!

Just at the moment, Wang Lin retreated a few steps. The small snake broke through the shockwave by force and charged at Wang Lin. It let out a hiss and spat out an extremely poisonous gas.

Wang Lin’s expression was gloomy as he reached at the void and opened his storage space. The silver female corpse walked out. Without the need for Wang Lin to give an order, the woman in silver rushed at the small snake.

Wang Lin jumped over the woman in silver and the small snake and directly charged at the old woman.

The old woman’s expression changed greatly as she continued to run, trying to dodge the black spear. However, the black spear was locked on to her and moved faster and faster. It seemed like it was about to break the space here.

After seeing Wang Lin walk out from her killing formation, her face became even more gloomy. She bit her tongue and was about to spit out more poison when killing intent flashed through Wang Lin’s eyes and he pointed at her.

“Stop!”

Countless invisible threads suddenly appeared in the world and wrapped around her. The word “stop” caused her body to tremble violently.

Green smoke came out from her mouth and she immediately began to scream. The mouthful of poison blood wasn’t spat out and instead flowed down her throat. This blood contained poison that normally wouldn’t harm her. However, it was interrupted just as she was about to use it and the Stop spell had frozen her body. As she screamed, a large part of her body began to decay.

Just at this moment, the black spear closed in and pierced through the old woman’s chest. It didn’t penetrate through her body but exploded!

The old woman’s screams suddenly stopped and her body collapsed into a pool of blood. Her weaken origin soul was about to escape when Wang Lin waved his sleeve and captured it.

Although this battle was short, Wang Lin still felt lingering fear from how dangerous it was. This old woman’s poison spells were enough to let her beat most people at the same cultivation level. Even people with higher cultivation levels would suffer from her poison if they weren’t prepared.

It was a very common thing for Wang Lin to kill people, but today’s killing had happened for no reason. He didn’t even know her, and if not for the fact that she tried to kill him, he wouldn’t have killed her for no reason.

The small snake that was battling the woman in silver suddenly trembled and became weaker after the old woman was caught. Soon, the woman in silver caught the snake.

At this moment, the black ape had already bypassed the battlefield and entered the valley the eight skulls were surrounding. The beast army charged into the valley.

There were a ton of fierce beasts, and because the old woman was gone, the eight skulls became unstable. The lightning connecting them all collapsed.

Wang Lin looked at the black ape in the distance, and the black ape understood the order to keep running. The earth continued to vibrate as the beast army chased it through the valley.

There were some fierce beasts that wanted to charge at Wang Lin, but after he waved his sleeve, all of them died.

It didn’t take long for all the fierce beasts to leave him and chase after the black ape. He could still see the dust storm being kicked up.

Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he stared at the eight skulls that had become even more unstable, like they were going to collapse. Wang Lin took a closer look before moving next to one of the skulls and hitting it with his palm.

The skull trembled and the ghostly light around it dissipated. It then shrank into a fist-sized grey skull and remained motionless.

Wang Lin sealed the remaining seven skulls the same way. These eight skulls were clearly a set for a formation. Wang Lin didn’t take them away, but sealed them, because he didn’t know what was in the valley. His divine sense couldn’t penetrate the fog.

He cautiously entered the valley. It would only take a thought for the seal on the eight skulls to dissipate and the siege from before to return.

The valley wasn’t very large. The first thing Wang Lin saw when he entered was a corpse. The corpse was rotting and he could only tell it was a male cultivator. There was a very unpleasant stench coming from the corpse.

After frowning, Wang Lin walked forward and soon arrived at the center of the valley. His divine slowly spread out and he soon found a figure sitting there along with four corpses that had died from poison.

“Thank you for saving me!” A weak voice came from the person sitting there.

Wang Lin’s expression was calm as he slowly walked forward and clearly saw everything before him.

The four corpses were all rotting. Their eyes were dark and there was a faint hint of confusion in them. The same foul smell was coming from their corpses as well.

The person sitting there was a middle-aged man. His face was pale without any trace of blood and there was a black line between his eyebrows. Even his origin soul was on the verge of death. It seemed the poison inside him had developed too far. This wasn’t an ordinary poison, but an extremely powerful poison!

“Late stage Nirvana Cleanser!” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. A poison strong enough to kill a late stage Nirvana Cleanser cultivator was a match for the Seventh Heaven poison!

“Did Fellow Cultivator also come for the jade and pill recipe? I don’t know what sect you’re from. but I believe these two items are something you must obtain. Even if I don’t give them to you, I believe you have a way of opening my storage space. Forget it, I’ll let you have these two items, but please kill me so I can stop suffering from this Thousand Purple Worm.” There was bitterness on the middle-aged man’s face as he pleaded.

Wang Lin silently pondered as he looked at the four corpses on the ground and then at the middle-aged man before nodding.

“These four people were my disciples. In order to protect me, they were infected by the poison of that old woman from the Five Poison Sect and died.” There was sadness in the middle-aged man’s eyes. These four were the last of his disciples. If not for this incident, they would’ve eventually become leaders in the sect.

“I can’t use origin energy with this poison in my body, so lend me a trace of origin energy to open my storage space. I’ll take out the jade and pill recipe for you, then you can let me die a quick death! For the sake of worldly possessions, I ended up like this and even involved my disciples…” The bitterness on the middle-aged man’s face became even stronger.

Wang Lin still didn’t say a word as he raised his right hand and pushed forward. A strand of origin energy shot out toward the middle-aged man. When it got within three inches of the middle-aged man, the origin energy suddenly changed!

Chapter 1153 – There is Silence Before Every Major Event

The moment it changed, Wang Lin’s origin energy was no longer gentle. It contained the force of a mountain as it smashed into the middle-aged man.

However, just as it was about to land, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and his face turned ferocious. A destructive aura was about to erupt from his body.

Wang Lin’s expression was still cold. After he sent out the origin energy, he opened his storage space and the iron sword swept forward.

A ray of sword energy shot forward and the middle-aged man that was about to explode trembled. Blood appeared on his neck and then sprayed everywhere. What died wasn’t just his body, but also his weakened origin soul.

His eyes were open as he stared at Wang Lin, and his head fell off and rolled on the ground. His dim gaze was still ferocious.

His trick before his death was not smart, but it was alluring for people who were after the jade and pill recipe. However, Wang Lin didn’t know anything about them.

More importantly, after Wang Lin entered the valley, he saw the first corpse and then the four corpses after. On the surface, they all looked the same, like they had died from the poison in their bodies.

However, there were actually some subtle differences. Wang Lin was always cautious, so although the differences were small, he still saw them.

The first corpse had really died from the poison in his body. The other four were not like this; they were killed first and then the poison in their bodies activated. The positions of the four bodies made Wang Lin speculate.

These four people were apparently killed by the middle-aged man for some reason. They could’ve been his disciple as he said, or they could have been the old woman’s disciples.

In short, Wang Lin didn’t want to know the karma behind all of this. He just knew that the middle-aged man was lying when he said he couldn’t use origin energy.

There must’ve been a reason for a person that was about to die to lie. Wang Lin didn’t hesitate to kill a person like this!

“You were going to die either way in just a few days.” Looking at the middle-aged man who had lost his head, the body quickly began to fester and his clothes shattered.

“Jade and pill recipe…” Wang Lin began to ponder. The old woman besieging this middle-aged man must had been after the jade and recipe.

“What kind of jade and pill recipe would cause two Nirvana Cleanser cultivators to fight to the death? It even made a mid stage Nirvana Cleanser cultivator dare to try to kill a late stage Nirvana Cleanser cultivator…

“His original intent was to die from self-destruction and then the opening of his storage space would dissipate. However, if one has a high enough cultivation level, it isn’t difficult to take something out from the closed storage space.

“Also, from what he said just now, he obviously mistook me for a sect rather than just one person… Judging by this, the battle for the jade and recipe is a battle between sects… He said that his disciples were poisoned by the Old Poison Woman of the Five Poison Sect… The old woman I killed earlier must have been her.

“Also, that old poison woman immediately tried to kill me when I appeared. She must have determined I represented another sect.

“Most importantly, the old woman said something before attacking. ‘Came so fast…. ‘” Wang Lin suddenly looked up at the sky and his pupils shrank.

“Could it be that a large amount of cultivators from various sects are all coming here? If that’s the case, then the value of the jade and pill recipe must be extremely high to cause a battle like this between sects!” Wang Lin took a deep breath and his eyes shined.

“If 70% of my analyse is correct, then the middle-aged man must have been really concerned about the jade and pill recipe. Since he knew others could open his storage space, I fear he didn’t place them inside it…” Wang Lin looked around the valley before his gaze fell on the four corpses on the ground. His eyes narrowed.

“If I were him, what would I do if I encountered such a situation… Would I keep it in my storage space or hide it somewhere else…” Wang Lin silently pondered and closed his eyes as he placed himself in the role of the middle-aged man.

Shortly after, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes and his divine sense swept the corpses of the four disciples, but he found nothing. However, he wasn’t willing to give up. A flame shot out of his left eye and surrounded the four corpses.

The sound of fire crackling echoed in the valley. There was a powerful poison inside the corpses, and the fire gave off a ghostly glow. Soon, they were burned to ashes.

However, there was a jade and a palm-sized animal bone fragment within the ashes.

Wang Lin’s eyes revealed a hint of excitement as his hand reached out and the jade and bone fragment flew into his hand. His divine sense checked the jade first, and his expression changed!

“Rank 8 Heaven Breaking Sect!!” Wang Lin took a deep breath before he calmed himself down and looked at the beast bone fragment. Even with Wang Lin’s mental fortitude, he couldn’t help but feel his heart rate increase.

His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the beast bone fragment in his hand. He couldn’t say a word for a long time.

“Nirvana…. Nirvana Void Pill…” Although he didn’t know what a Nirvana Void Pill was, he knew the weight of the words “Nirvana” and “Void” to the powerful cultivators!

In particular, there was one sentence in this pill recipe that rang a bell in his mind. He held the beast bone fragment tightly in his hand and a monstrous killing intent appeared in his eyes. At this moment, if anyone tried to rob this fragment from him, they would receive Wang Lin’s crazed attack.

“The person who takes this pill will have 10% chance of turning law into source origin and reaching what us cultivators call the third step! The person who takes this pill have have 50% chance of passing a Heaven’s Blight! The person who takes this pill will have an 80% chance to enter the Shi Realm!”

It took a long time for Wang Lin to recover his composure. He quickly put the jade and beast bone away in his storage space. He didn’t have time to think of the details, but he was extremely sure that these things were enough to cause a calamity in the cultivation world!

Right now, the news of this pill recipe hadn’t spread too far, but as the battle for it continued, it would eventually shock the entire Cloud Sea.

Wang Lin hadn’t felt his throat get dry in a long time. He licked his lips as he carefully erased all traces of him and took the corpses of the middle-aged man and another person.

After he made sure he had left no clues, Wang Lin flew out from the valley. Just as he was about to take them away, Wang Lin hesitated and decisively pointed at one of the skulls. The skull immediately collapsed and the shattered fragments fell inside and outside the valley.

Wang Lin’s eyes flashed and thoughts raced through his mind as he took the remaining seven skulls. Then, after pondering a bit, he took out the corpse of the disciple and placed it back in its original location.

Then he carefully cleaned up the skull fragments that fell both inside and outside the valley before leaving one piece behind in a very secretive place.

After doing all of this, Wang Lin took a deep breath and put the silver female corpse away. He then turned into a ray of light and chased after the black ape.

“I have the origin soul of the old woman. I must not let her die! As long as she doesn’t die, no one will know that an outsider joined in on this matter. They will all think the old woman obtained the pill recipe and went into hiding to keep it for herself.

“After all, there is still a fragment of the skulls she used inside the valley. There’s also the corpse of the disciple that died from her poison…” Time was of the essences as cultivators of various sects were coming to the wild continent. Wang Lin didn’t dare to stay for too long and could only achieve something like this.

He wasn’t in the mood to steal any more herbs and quickly moved forward. Then he disappeared using Spatial Bending. When he reappeared, he was next to the escaping black ape.

The moment the black ape saw Wang Lin, it became excited and excitedly pointed at various mountain peaks. It was obviously telling Wang Lin there were herbs there.

Wang Lin didn’t pay any attention. He took the yellow talisman off the black ape and put the giant ape in his storage space. Then he charged off into the sky, broke through the fog, and placed the yellow talisman on his body. He was still dissatisfied with his speed, so he took out the beast skin and put it on his body as well.

As a result, Wang Lin’s speed reached a peak as he pierced through the fog and left the wild continent.

Even now, his heart was pounding as if he was in a dream. Everything that happened on this wild continent and what he obtained still felt unreal.

After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Wang Lin clearly knew that if the information of the pill recipe was with him got out, then he would be subject to endless pursuit in the Cloud Sea Star System. This would be the same even in the Alliance and Allheaven because this recipe was enough to make some cultivators go crazy!

In particular, those old monsters who were always in closed door cultivation and had reached the peak of the Nirvana Shatterer stage and preparing for their Heaven’s Blight would do anything for this pill recipe.

“I must not let anyone know this thing is in my hands!” Wang Lin quickly moved through the rank 5 region, and he didn’t dare to spread out his divine sense. Wang Lin had a feeling that there were many cultivators rushing toward that wild continent in the rank 5 region right now.

If they met him, who was in a rush, they might suspect him. Although the suspicion wouldn’t be big, once they saw what happened at the wild continent, they would recall anyone they found suspicious and focus on those people.

The bigger the matter and more secrets you have to hide, the more calm you need to be.

After charging out some distance, Wang Lin pulled out the giant black ape. He sat down on the shoulder of the giant black ape and ordered it to fly toward the continent of Mo Luo where the Origin Sect was.

This place was still a few days away from the continent of Mo Luo, and despite his eagerness to leave, he remained calm as he sat on the giant black ape. He was like a true cultivator of the Cloud Sea.

Several hours later, Wang Lin was already far from the wild continent. There were several other wild continents nearby, making it impossible for others to know which one Wang Lin had come from.

Just at this moment, Wang Lin’s calm pupils suddenly shrank but soon returned to normal.

Rays of red light whistled through the star fog and got closer and closer.

Chapter 1154 – On the Verge

“Noble Money” may seem like a very vulgar name, but in the rank 6 region, it represented the word “ruthless!” As an elder of the Clear Flower Sect, he had reached the early stage of Nirvana Shatterer.

He had shocking spells, and due to his personality, if you provoked him and lacked a powerful cultivation level or sect, then the only result was death.

More than 1,000 years ago, a small sect of the rank 6 region actually killed one of his disciples. He slaughtered his way into the sect and completely destroyed the sect with some of his friends, leaving behind a blood bath.

This battle made him famous, and every sect in the rank 6 region learned of his name.

At this moment, his expression was gloomy as he sat on the head of a python with dragon-shaped head. As the spirit beast moved through the rank 5 region, disciples of the Clear Flower Sect followed him.

“I didn’t think that clue would be true!” Every time Noble Money thought of his matter, his heart beat faster. Several months ago, his Clear Flower Sect accidently found some clue related to the legendary Nirvana Void Pill and a jade that showed one how to become a core disciple of the Heaven Breaking Sect.

As a native cultivator of the Cloud Sea, Noble Money obviously knew of the heaven-shaking event that occured 18,000 years ago in the Cloud Sea.

18,000 years ago in the Cloud Sea, the Heaven Breaking Sect was a rank 8 sect ready to move into the mighty rank 9 region. Two months before the move, they accidently found a spatial crack, and it was filled with restrictions and danger. The Heaven Breaking Sect gathered large amounts of cultivators together to enter the crack, including elders that were at Heaven’s Blight. They broke their way through and had countless casualties.

In the end, they found a corpse in the depths of the spatial crack.

There were three things next to the corpse: a pill, a broken sword, and a piece of beast bone. After obtaining the three items, the elders of the Heaven Breaking Sect went crazy and quickly left the spatial crack to return to the Heaven Breaking Sect.

This was because their discovery was too incredible and could shock the entire Cloud Sea Star System! It was possible for the Heaven Breaking Sect to take supremacy from the rank 9 God Sect!

However, they had a traitor in their midst, and the news got leaked out. What awaited them was the entire rank 8 region moving against them. Countless old monsters that rarely appeared all participated in this battle that made their eyes red.

However, the Heaven Breaking Sect, which had the right to enter the rank 9 region, had the power to battle the entire rank 8 region. A blood bath was created in the rank 8 region.

The rank 7 region was affected, and they also sent out cultivators, and the rank 6 region was also dragged in. Even the rank 5 region was affected, and a catastrophe that swept across the Cloud Sea began.

This matter was extremely fierce. Even after 18,000 years, Noble Money would tremble when thinking about this.

In the end, this caused the rank 9 region that almost never interfered to finally step in. This matter was a bit disadvantageous for the Heaven Breaking Sect, and at this moment, the Heaven Breaking Sect split!

A large amount of people in the Heaven Breaking Sect weren’t willing to fight for these three items. They traded the pill and broken sword for their survival. They also maintained their original trajectory of moving to the rank 9 region.

A small part of the Heaven Breaking Sect took the beast bone fragment and began a life and death battle with those that tried to steal them before disappearing into the long river of history.

As for the beast bone with the pill recipe, it disappeared, and no one knew where it went. Some believed it was taken by the cultivators of the rank 9 region and other believed that it was hidden among one of the rank 8 sects that fought against the Heaven Breaking Sect.

In the end, this matter ended, and where the beast bone went remained a mystery. That was until 18,000 years later, when the Clear Flower Sect found a clue.

Whether this clue was true or false, it shocked the entire Clear Flower Sect. They immediately locked down the information and even killed some of the disciples that knew of this matter.

This matter was simply too shocking. If they were a bit careless, it would lead to the destruction of their sect. After all, the bloody lesson the Heaven Breaking Sect learned was enough to warn people.

Compared to the Heaven Breaking Sect of the past, the Clear Flower Sect was like an ant. They had no qualification to hold this beast bone fragment. Although they were greedy, they weren’t intending on keeping it for themselves.

They were hoping to find the beast bone fragment and then gift it to a powerful rank 8 sect in exchange for a large amount of benefits and long term protection. They also hoped to use this to get help from the rank 8 sect to become the overlord of the rank 6 region.

However, all of this would depend on whether this clue was true! If they only gave the clue to the rank 8 sect and it turned out to be false, then the Clear Flower Sect couldn’t afford the anger of the rank 8 sect. This was why they didn’t dare to hand over a clue and went to check it themselves.

However, if they wanted to check it, they would have to prevent any rumors from spreading so the other rank 6 sects wouldn’t notice that something was wrong. Also, this clue led to a sect in the rank 3 region, so if a large amount of Clear Flower Sect disciples moved, they would raise the suspicion of the other sects.

This was the one thing the Clear Flower Sect was worried about. In the end, they chose the dependable head disciple, Shi Luoxing, to take 19 disciples and secretly head to the rank 3 region.

Shi Luoxing’s cultivation level wasn’t the highest in the rank 6 region, so him taking some disciples and leaving wouldn’t cause too much attention. This was proven true when no unnecessary trouble occurred even after he reached the rank 3 region.

However, Shi Luoxing didn’t think that clue was true! He easily obtained the beast bone fragment and got a jade.

However, just as he was on his way back to the Clear Flower Sect, he was pursued by the Five Poison Sect. The other sects of the rank 6 region also learned of this matter.

“Shi Luoxing, you must hold on!” Noble Money’s origin energy was injected into the spirit beast below him. The spirit beast moved even faster as it pierced through layers of fog toward the wild continent.

He was only leading the first batch of aid. Behind him, almost the entire Clear Flower Sect had moved out.

While they were rushing through the star fog, Noble Money’s gaze narrowed as he saw a cultivator within the range of his divine sense. This cultivator was riding on a 1,000 feet black ape.

Along the way here, this white-haired cultivator wasn’t the first cultivator he had seen. However, this place wasn’t far from the wild continent, so Noble Money couldn’t help but pay attention.

While he moved forward, his gaze was still locked onto the white-haired cultivator. Not only him, but the 10 or so Clear Flower Sect disciples were all looking at the white-haired cultivator.

These gazes seem solid, and Wang Lin’s face turned pale and revealed a shocking stare as he looked dumbfoundedly at the more than 10 rays of light. He stopped in the air as if he had forgotten how to fly. He knew that his cultivation was a bit strange and outsiders couldn’t see through it right away, so it might cause some unnecessary suspicion. Thus, he kept his origin energy always active at the mid stage of Nirvana Scryer.

Noble Money withdrew his gaze. He was impatient to go to the wild continent. At first glance, he found nothing abnormal about this white-haired cultivator who was obviously shocked by their sudden appearance.

According to the star map he had, there were several wild continents nearby. Looking at the white-haired cultivator’s path, this person had obviously come from another wild continent.

He longer paid any attention to Wang Lin. He then ordered his spirit beast to pass right by Wang Lin. The other disciples also withdrew their gazes as they passed by Wang Lin.

Wang Lin was secretly relieved. He couldn’t see through what sect they were from, but they were obviously cultivators from the rank 6 region. They were heading toward the wild continent.

However, just at this moment, a ray of light broke through from the distance at an unimaginable speed. This light was bright, and Wang Lin clearly saw a jade inside!

This was obviously someone sending a message a jade. These spells were used within sects to transfer messages using jade that moved far faster than cultivators. They didn’t have to worry about it being intercepted, because unless one knew the right seal, the jade would collapse immediately. In order to prevent any accidents, more than one jade was sent out at a time.

This jade moved too fast and passed by Wang Lin in the blink of an eye. It landed in the hand of Noble Money, who hadn’t gone far. Noble Money’s expression changed, then his left hand formed a seal and he used a unique hand seal to check the jade. Once his divine sense entered the jade, his body trembled.

This was a jade sent by the cultivators in the second wave. There was only one piece of information inside, and it stated that Shi Luoxing’s life tablet had shattered!

Shi Luoxing had died!

Noble Money’s expression became extremely gloomy and he mercilessly squeezed the jade. Then his gaze suddenly fell on Wang Lin. He didn’t suspect Wang Lin, but now Shi Luoxing was dead, and they didn’t know who killed him. Whether it was the Five Poison Sect or any of the other rank 6 sects, they were all targets of suspicion!

This matter was of great importance, and Noble Money would rather kill 1,000 innocent people than let one get away!

“Take him to the wild continent!” Noble Money pointed at Wang Lin and eight of the disciples flew toward Wang Lin.

Wang Lin’s expression changed. He stood up with respect but also just the right amount of panic. “Fellow Cultivators, what is the meaning of this?”

“Don’t make us act. Fellow Cultivator, quickly, follow us!” Among the eight disciples, six of them were at the Corporeal Yang stage and two of them were at early stage of Nirvana Scryer.

If they met Wang Lin under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t dare to do this. After all, Wang Lin had higher cultivation level than them. However, with Elder Noble Money here and this being a great matter for their sect, they all became hostile.

Chapter 1155 – Continuous Chop

He couldn’t go back to the wild continent with these people!

Due to the black ape, all the fierce beasts on that wild continent firmly remembered Wang Lin. If Wang Lin went back, the fierce beasts would be set off.

The agitation from the wild beasts would be a dead give away to anyone who was already suspicious.

This would explain that Wang Lin was coming from this wild continent. Adding Shi Luoxing’s death, even if the rank 6 sect found out that he was killed by the old woman from the Five Poison Sect, they would still cast great suspicion on Wang Lin.

Once this suspicion appeared, they would search Wang Lin’s storage space, and the tyrannical cultivators would directly search his soul! This would be a disaster for Wang Lin!

His face was filled with a indignant expression. No one would find this suspicious. Anyone would feel indignant by this, but they’d still have to follow.

However, just as the eight core disciples closed in and Wang Lin ordered the black ape to move as if he was going to follow, killing intent flash in Wang Lin’s eyes! He couldn’t go back to the wild continent, going back would mean death!

Out of the 18 cultivators, the person leading was at the Nirvana Shatterer stage, but the highest cultivation level of the remaining 17 was only early stage Nirvana Cleanser!

Once he attacked, he’d have to finish this in a short period of time. There were obviously more cultivators approaching, so he would have to finish in a short period of time! He also couldn’t leave any survivors!

Wang Lin raised his head and took a step forward as he waved his hand. Call the Wind appeared and turned into five dragons that charged at five of the surrounding people!

At the same time, the black ape waved its arms and began its attack.

Wang Lin moved like lightning and immediately arrived near the Nirvana Scryer cultivator. He was far faster than the Nirvana Scryer cultivator. The Nirvana Scryer cultivator’s pupils shrank and he wanted to dodge, but soon his vision was covered by a finger.

This finger quickly landed between the cultivator’s eyebrows and left, leaving behind a bloody hole. The power of a Nirvana Cleanser cultivator rushed into the cultivator’s body and crushed his origin soul.

Wang Lin didn’t pause at all and moved like water. After killing one, he charged into another one and pointed at that cultivator’s body several times. Popping sounds came from that cultivator’s body and blood sprayed everywhere.

At this moment, the black dragons from Call the Wind had arrived on the five people. Those five were only at the Corporeal Yang stage, so they stood no chance against Bai Fan’s spell. They weren’t able to resist at all as the black dragons entered their bodies and then their bodies exploded!

Along with them, the two killed by Wang Lin also exploded! The last person was hit by the black ape’s fierce strikes and a miserable scream echoed.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye; it was unbelievably fast! The eight of them exploded almost at the same time, dying the area around Wang Lin red.

Noble Money, who was moving away, suddenly turned around and was filled with shock. However, this shock quickly changed to ferociousness as he charged at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin’s expression was neutral but also bitter. His original body wasn’t here, so unless he was forced to, why would he provoke a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator?

However, he didn’t have time to think, as he had already killed eight people. Wang Lin quickly stepped forward. He had to kill everyone beside the Nirvana Shatterer cultivator as soon as possible. Otherwise, if one of them escaped, Wang Lin would find it difficult to move even an inch in the Cloud Sea Star System!

However, the remaining nine people, along with the Nirvana Shatterer cultivator, immediately realized this and scattered. Noble Money charged forward and shot out a ray of black light to stop Wang Lin from moving forward!

Coldness flashed in Wang Lin’s eyes as his right hand formed a seal and slaughter energy strands rushed out from his body. They condensed into layers of defense and Wang Lin rushed forth!

As he rushed out, he felt like he was colliding with the universe, and the slaughter energy strands around Wang Lin all collapsed. The spells of a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator couldn’t be underestimated. All the slaughter energy immediately dissipated and a powerful force rushed into Wang Lin’s body, causing him to cough out a mouthful of blood.

However, he charged out from the black light. As Noble Money closed in, he charged at the nine people that were scattering. Flames appeared in his left eye and as he waved his left hand a sea of flames appeared.

There were three people inside the sea of flames, and they immediately screamed and were burned to ashes. The remaining six turned pale and quickly retreated. Wang Lin’s face was pale and he was about to give chase.

However, just at this moment, Noble Money let out an angry roar and closed in. His right hand formed a seal and the black light turned into a black spear and closed in on Wang Lin.

Seeing that the six people were about to scatter and Noble Money was closing in, Wang Lin’s eyes became bloodshot. He knew that the cultivation level gap between him and Noble Money was too high. Once he stopped, he wouldn’t be able to kill those six at all.

The moment the spear closed in, Wang Lin opened his mouth and spat out the 18 Hell Celestial Sealing Stamp. The moment it appeared, it moved before his body and collided with the spear.

With a bang, the Celestial Sealing Stamp smashed into Wang Lin, causing him to cough out blood. But it pushed him toward a person not far away. Wang Lin instantly waved his right hand and a ring of green light fell down on the cultivator’s neck.

The cultivator’s pupils shrank as he lifted his hands and black light appeared to form a shield. However, as Wang Lin waved his hand, the black shield collapsed and both of the cultivator’s arms exploded. Finally, the cultivator’s head exploded and he died.

“There are five more!” Wang Lin’s right hand formed a seal and waved. Rain immediately appeared and the countless raindrops gathered to from five crystal swords that shot at the remaining five Clear Flower Sect disciples.

Just at this moment, Noble Money suddenly closed in. His right hand reached at the void and a storage space opened. A white whisk flew out, and Noble Money grabbed it and waved.

A type of law suddenly appeared and turned into rays of white light above Wang Lin. These white lights rained down like swords and were simply too fast. Wang Lin suddenly looked up and flames flashed in his left eye, then a suit of crimson red armor appeared around him.

Popping sounds echoed as those white lights landed on Wang Lin’s body. His body trembled and he coughed out even more blood. His face became pale and his origin soul dimmed. A ray of white light pierced his right leg, causing it to become a bloody mess. If not for the armor, he would have died.

At this moment, the swords formed by Summon the Rain pierced through the bodies of the five escaping disciples.

As their miserable screams echoed, four of their bodies collapsed and their origin souls perished. However, one of them took out a jade and broke it at the moment of danger. He was able to protect his origin soul and then quickly escaped.

How could Wang Lin allow this person to escape? His right hand reached at the void and his storage space opened. A ray of sword energy shot out. It was Xu Liguo charging straight toward that origin soul!

“If you don’t kill him, you can die!” This was the first message Xu Liguo heard after appearing. After hearing this, how would he not chase like crazy?

There was a flash of silver light from the storage space and the silver female corpse appeared. She didn’t help attack Noble Money but went after the life beast spirits that had just lost their owners.

All of this happened in a few breaths of time. Killing all the cultivators here beside Noble Money was difficult even for Wang Lin. However, he couldn’t relax, as this Nirvana Shatterer cultivator before him was the biggest danger he had to face!

The reason he wanted to kill the other cultivators first, aside from not wanting them to escape, was so they couldn’t interfere in this fight. If he wanted to kill this Nirvana Shatterer cultivator, he’d have to be completely focused without the slightest disturbance. Only then would he have a sliver of chance!

“If my original body was here, killing this person would be easier than now.” As Wang Lin spoke, his right hand pointed at the 18 Hell Celestial Sealing Stamp. There was a flash of light and the soul fragments charged out of the 18 layers of hell.

The most powerful souls inside were Master Void and the one formed by the fusion of the All-Seer’s two avatars! They were Wang Lin’s aces, and the moment they appeared, a cold energy surrounded the area.

Noble Money’s expression turned extremely ugly. He didn’t think that this white-haired youth would use such strong spells and kill all the core disciples in just a short period of time. And when his spells landed, he actually wasn’t able to kill this person!

What shocked him even more were the dead souls summoned by this cultivator’s spell. Two of the souls had auras that even made him feel dread. This revealed just how heaven-shattering their cultivation levels were when they were still alive.

Even though they were only souls and therefore their strength couldn’t compare to when they were alive, they still shocked Noble Money.

Wang Lin pointed and Master Void and the All-Seer’s soul charged out. However, this wasn’t enough to end this battle quickly. If this were to drag on and aid arrived, Wang Lin would without a doubt die!

His eyes were bloodshot as his right hand reached at the void. When Master Void and the All-Seer charged out, he took out the iron sword!

The moment the iron sword appeared, the stars trembled, and even the surrounding fog churned. It was as if a powerful force had appeared and was pushing the star fog back.

“Pseudo Nirvana Void!” Noble Money’s eyes narrowed. If the death souls from before just shocked him, then the appearance of this iron sword left him in disbelief. Intense greed filled his eyes as he rushed forward and his Nirvana Shatterer cultivation erupted.

A Nirvana Shatterer cultivator was far more powerful than a Nirvana Cleaner cultivator, so this was a bitter struggle for Wang Lin. Not only did he have to win, he had to do it quick!

Chapter 1156 – Leaving the Vortex

Holding the rusted iron sword, Wang Lin retreated as Noble Money charged in. Wang Lin pointed with his left hand and the soul of Master Void and the All-Seer charged out.

These two battle souls were Wang Lin’s most powerful aces aside from the little remaining source origin he had. Along with this iron sword, he was giving it his all.

After all, this wasn’t like back in Qing Lin’s cave, where he had the original body to be able to withstand all the attacks. He also had endless ancient god power that allowed him to launch a heaven-shaking attack with just a punch back then. Now there was no opportunity to use Sundered Night, and the shield had shattered when saving Qing Lin, so he couldn’t use Dream of Ancient Times that the 8-star ancient god had left behind.

At this moment, with only his cultivator avatar, it would be very difficult for Wang Lin to kill this cultivator!

In particular, right now his right leg was a bloody mess as the white light from Noble Money had pierced through it. There was also origin energy that contained some kind of law raging inside his body.

If not for the Ancient God Leather Armor around his origin soul, it would have already collapsed. Fortunately, Wang Lin’s body wasn’t ordinary. After being refined in the Vermillion Bird divine Sect, it contained the laws of fire and thunder.

As a result, he was able to only be injured rather than die under Noble Money’s spell! Wang Lin had experienced many dangers in his life as a cultivator, so he naturally knew the danger of Nirvana Shatterer cultivators.

Wang Lin didn’t have too much time to think about the danger before him. He had to quickly end this battle and attempt to kill this Nirvana Shatterer cultivator! With a point of his left hand, Master Void and the All-Seer charged at Noble Money.

Facing those two powerful souls, even Noble Money was extremely cautious. In his entire cultivation life, he had never seen a Nirvana Cleanser cultivator with spells that could threaten Nirvana Shatterer cultivators.

The All-Seer’s soul almost seemed to have gone crazy and rapidly formed seals to send out spells. These spells were often blurry and not real, but they directed the law of the world toward Noble Money.

There was also Master Void’s soul. Due to the fact that he had reached his first Heaven’s Blight before death, he waved his sleeves and a thunder storm appeared to counter Noble Money’s spell.

If Wang Lin wasn’t worried about time, then he could use Master Void and the All-Seer to grind Noble Money to death. However, Wang Lin didn’t have the time or the celestial origin energy to sustain these two powerful souls.

Magic Arsenal had consumed most of his celestial origin energy!

As Master Void and the All-Seer were fighting with Noble Money, Wang Lin lifted his right hand and stared at the iron sword. He mercilessly slashed down and an earth-shattering ray of sword energy appeared. It turned into the illusion of a giant sword and slashed down on Noble Money.

This didn’t end here. Wang Lin closed his eyes and gave up control of the iron sword, letting the sword move itself. The iron sword moved as if Wang Lin’s hand was glued to it, and another slash was sent out.

Rays of light formed an arc through the fog, and each light represented a ray of sword energy! Each ray of sword energy consumed a large amount of origin energy from Wang Lin’s body.

The sword energy intertwined and looked like a flower. From afar, the curved sword energy rays continued to appear until they formed a flower made of swords before Noble Money.

In the blink of an eye, 13 sword strokes fell! Wang Lin was moving his arm with his eyes closed as the sword moved on its own. An unexpectedly shocking aura appeared from Wang Lin, as if everything in the world would be destroyed by this sword!

All of this happened in an instant. Noble Money was being entangled by Master Void and the All-Seer. His hand kept forming seals and different spells shot out along with treasures, but his face was pale. Although he knew the iron sword was a Nirvana Void treasure, there was a difference in strength between Nirvana Void treasures.

What he couldn’t imagine was the power of the sword energy! At this moment, he obviously saw the sword energy around him, but he couldn’t dodge. He let out a roar and tried to break free from the two souls holding him in place.

However, just at this moment, Wang Lin opened his eyes. His face was pale as he pulled back the iron sword. He then chopped down six times in a row!

There was a total of 19 strikes, and they took nearly 60% of Wang Lin’s origin energy. Afterwards, he retreated. The illusion of 19 giant swords suddenly appeared around Noble Money. With Wang Lin’s current strength, he could use more, but the consequences of using them were greater than Wang Lin expected, so he forcibly interrupted the iron sword. With his cultivation level, he could control the sword at 19 strikes, but after 19, he wouldn’t be able to stop even if he wanted to. He would only be able to use it until he ran out of strength.

“Chop!” Wang Lin shouted, and the 19 giant swords immediately fell. They linked into continuous sword strikes and charged straight at Noble Money!

This was unimaginably fast. Noble Money wasn’t able to resist the 19 slashes from the Nirvana Void sword. A thunderous rumble echoed as the sword slashes penetrated Noble Money’s body.

His body trembled and was instantly split into 19 parts. Blood erupted everywhere!

A miserable roar echoed at the same time as Noble Money’s body collapsed. He was, after all, a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator, so his origin soul escaped out from his head. He took that whisk treasure and quickly escaped.

He was filled with unimaginable fear; he even had a feeling that this white-haired cultivator knew of the matter about the Heaven Breaking Sect. It was likely Shi Luoxing’s death was related to this person.

“What sect is this person person from to have such a powerful treasures? Could it be… could he be someone from the rank 8 region?!” Thinking about this, Noble Money was extremely shocked. His origin soul fled like crazy. He had to tell his sect about this!

He also understood that the second wave of his sect would arrive soon, so he only needed to last a bit more!

Wang Lin’s face was pale. The moment Noble Money’s origin soul escaped, a flame appeared in Wang Lin’s left eye. A monstrous flame appeared around him, forming a sea of flames. If you looked closely, you would see that there were nine layers of flames!

Nine Mysterious Transformation!

The moment the nine layers of flame appeared, they rapidly contracted around Wang Lin. Wang Lin’s body seemed to be burning as he took a step forward.

His body disappeared with this step, and instead, a white Vermillion Bird several hundred feet wide appeared. This white Vermillion Bird was Wang Lin!

With a wave of his wings, Wang Lin caught up to Noble Money with a trail of flames and smashed into Noble Money’s origin soul!

Noble Money’s origin soul’s pupils shrank and let out a scream. He felt death approaching, and at this moment, it was too late to think. Madness filled his eyes as his hand moved and a destructive aura came from his origin soul.

At this moment of danger, he chose to self-destruct his origin soul, but at his cultivation level, he could control his self-destruction. His arms suddenly exploded into a storm and closed on in the Vermillion Bird. The whisk treasure he was holding also exploded into countless white lines that charged at the Vermillion Bird.

However, this wasn’t able to stop the Vermillion Bird before it collided with Noble Money. Flames surrounded Noble Money’s origin soul.

Miserable screams echoed as Noble Money’s origin soul weakened. He desperately retreated while covered in flames and quickly escaped.

As he escaped, his hands formed seals and mysterious runes appeared around him. The soul of a giant python appeared before him. The moment it appeared, Noble Money inhaled, causing the soul of the giant python to shrink and collapse in an instant.

After absorbing the soul of his life beast spirit, Noble Money escaped like crazy without looking back.

The Vermillion Bird disappeared and Wang Lin appeared. His chest was a bloody mess and white bones were visible. He stared at the escaping Noble Money, and the killing intent in his eye became even stronger.

“All-Seer’s soul, merge with my divine sense!” Wang Lin didn’t use the Stop spell and instead formed a seal before pointing at the All-Seer’s soul. The soul’s eyes flashed and turned into a ray of light that entered Wang Lin’s body.

Wang Lin’s body trembled and his eyes suddenly became calm. This calmness made it seem like his gaze had seen through everything. Out of all the cultivators Wang Lin had met in his entire life, the All-Seer was the only cultivator like this!

After obtaining Qing Lin’s fortune, Wang Lin gainted enlightenment about Bai Fan’s spells. After reaching the limit of Magic Arsenal, he could make the soul fuse with him!

Ignoring the escaping Noble Money, Wang Lin slowly closed his eyes. At the same time, he lifted his left hand and pointed at distance!

In an instant, a storm appeared in the distance, and the fog churned violently as yellow ripples spread. At the center of the ripples, a huge palm suddenly appeared with its forefinger raised and rest of the fingers forming a fist.

Heavenly Fate Finger!

Wang Lin used his own power and the All-Seer’s soul as a guide. The Heavenly Fate Finger descended on the Cloud Sea Star System. It moved with unimaginable momentum and speed toward the escaping Noble Money. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t dodge the finger that eventually landed on his body.

As the Heavenly Fate Finger replaced everything before Noble Money, his soul finally collapsed into specks of light. The Heavenly Fate Finger disappeared along with him.

The surroundings were completely silent. From when Wang Lin first attacked until now, only a very short period of time had passed. Wang Lin took everything away and charged off into the distance.

“If my original body was here, this battle wouldn’t have been so difficult. The Three Trials and Seven Calamities… I don’t know if the original body can successfully pass it…” Wang Lin’s right hand covered his chest. At this moment, countless white threads moved within his chest, giving off bursts of pain.

There was a flash of coldness in his eyes as Wang Lin changed directions and disappeared into the horizon.

Five days later, when the continent of Mo Luo slowly appeared before his eyes, Wang Lin let out a breath of relief. He chose a direction after calculating where the cultivators would arrive from. He simply made a huge circle and was fortunate that he was able to successfully avoid any more conflicts.

Wang Lin didn’t know that shortly after he killed Noble Money, the death of Shi Luoxing was made known to the other sects. The space around that wild continent was immediately sealed tightly.

The death of Noble Money shocked the Clear Flower Sect. While sealing the area, they searched for the murderer like crazy, but by then Wang Lin was already far away.

The cultivators from the rank 6 region naturally found the corpse in the valley Shi Luoxing was in, and they all targeted the Five Poison Sect. Facing the fierce gazes of all the sects, the Five Poison Sect couldn’t even explain.

An undercurrent began to move in the rank 5 region.

After returning to the continent of Mo Luo, Wang Lin turned into a ray of light and headed toward the Origin Sect. He knew that the rank 5 region was going to get chaotic. The rank 6 region cultivators would widen their search, and at that time, his identity in the Origin Sect would be very important.

Wang Lin’s return didn’t cause too much attention in the Origin Sect. He instantly appeared in the southern courtyard. The moment he appeared, he saw Xu Yun sitting outside the house and her startled expression.

“You…” Xu Yun was about to speak, but Wang Lin didn’t pay attention to her and waved his sleeves. Large amounts of herbs appeared and soon formed a small mountain between them.

“I’m returning your herbs!” Wang Lin said one thing and then entered the house.

Xu Yun looked at the herbs before her and gasped. With her insight, she could tell that many of these herbs were difficult to obtain, and their value was far beyond the worth of the herbs Wang Lin had consumed.

She was startled for a long time before finally recovering her senses and letting out a breath of relief. After Wang Lin left, she was scolded by her teacher daily and was very worried. Her teacher had said that if Senior Ceng Niu didn’t return, then when the Purple Dao Sect arrived, she would be the one who brought ruin to the sect.

Wang Lin sat inside the house with a serious gaze and pointed at his chest with his right hand. His face was still pale and he began to cultivate. Soon, flashes of white lines as started being forced out of his body.

These white lines twisted and looked extremely ferocious. Wang Lin’s right hand quickly grabbed the while lines and dragged them out. Blood gushed out and dyed his clothes red.

Staring at the white lines in his hand, coldness appeared in Wang Lin’s eyes. He mercilessly squeezed them and they collapsed into dust. Wang Lin continued to cultivate and forced the white lines out of his body.

He had spent all his time on the return journey on this, so there weren’t many white lines remaining inside his body.

On the third day after Wang Lin returned to the Origin Sect, he had forced all the white lines out. After crushing the last white line into dust, his eyes shined.

His right hand reached at the void and his storage space appeared. The jade and the pill recipe on the beast bone flew out into his hand.

Wang Lin took a deep breath. After obtaining them, he hadn’t had any time to study them. Now that he could finally relax, he was about to study them.

However, just at this moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he put the jade and beast bone away. In a flash, he disappeared and charged underground toward where his original body was.

“The trial!”

Chapter 1157 – One Trial Two Calamities

The ancient gods’ Three Trials Seven Calamities were like the cultivators’ five Heaven’s Blights. It was a knife hanging above their heads. If they survived, their cultivation level would increase greatly, but if they failed, they’d die.

The first trial had two calamities, and the second trial also had two calamities. The third trial has three calamities!

The ancient gods’ Three Trials Seven Calamities were even more strange than cultivators’ five Heaven’s Blights. According to Wang Lin’s memories, the more powerful the ancient god, the later the trials and calamities would come. Although an ancient god would normally experience the first trial at six stars, some ancient gods experienced it at seven stars.

There was even a very small portion of ancient gods that faced their first trial at eight stars. Tu Si was one of them. He encountered the first trial at eight stars and easily passed it. It increased his power grealty, and although he wasn’t able to reach nine stars, he was at the peak of eight stars. If it wasn’t for attempting to break through to the legendary 9-star stage, he wouldn’t have risked cultivating the Flowing Ink Transformation Divine Technique.

As for the third trial and the final three calamities, they were the highest trial an ancient god would face. As for what they were, Tu Si didn’t know.

Tu Si’s memories didn’t contain anything about encountering the first trial at five stars. Every time Wang Lin thought about this, he wryly smiled. The early arrival of his first trial was related to his incomplete ancient god body and the fact that he had overused his ancient god power in the Demon Spirit Land.

All of this caused him to be the first ancient god to suffer the first trial at five stars.

The trial that an 8-star ancient god had easily passed was like life and death for Wang Lin.

One of the calamities of the first trial was the body calamity. Back in the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect, Wang Lin’s lower half was all bones. Now, after arriving at the Cloud Sea Star System, this intensified, and everything from his chest and below were bones.

This was merely the beginning, the arrival of the first calamity. The body would continue to decay until there was no flesh and blood left. Then the first calamity would end and the second one would begin.

If there were no changes, his original body would without a doubt die. Fortunately, Wang Lin had obtained Tu Si’s heart blood, so he had a fighting chance.

The original body was sitting deep underground under the Origin Sect. There wasn’t a trace of flesh or blood; only bones remained.

There was a thin, blood-colored film wrapped around the bones. If you looked carefully, you would see a very tiny amount of blood moving between the film and bones.

As Wang Lin’s avatar closed in, his original body’s eyes sockets revealed ghostly lights as if he was awakening.

He silently looked at his original body and sat down to protect it. He also put all his focus into his original body to help it share the pain.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days went by. In these three days, the original body’s suffering intensified. The feeling of not having any flesh or blood but still retaining your sanity was enough to make people crazy.

During these three days, the original body’s size had expanded 10 fold!

At this moment, under the Origin Sect, there was a 100-foot-tall skeleton calmly laying there. There were flashes of blood light as the blood under the film flowed faster.

After another three days, Wang Lin’s skeleton finished expanding and reached over 3,000 feet tall. The small amount of blood was still flowing through the bones, all of which were bigger than a person. However, the blood flow slowed down until it eventually dissipated.

This blood was Tu Si’s heart blood. During these days, the heart blood was being slowly absorbed by the original body’s bones. When all the blood was absorbed, the first calamity ended.

Just at this moment, the original body’s eyes shined brightly as if his gaze could pierce through the earth and see the blue sky above! At the same time, a wave of crackling sounds echoed underground.

“Bone Calamity…”

This crackling sound came from his original body’s right foot. It was as if a giant hand was slowly crushing his huge right foot bone.

His bones shattered and turned into ashes. Under this unimaginable pain, the original body was trembling. However, this crackling sounds didn’t stop; they got even more intense.

It was like thunder echoing underground. Every crack was a bone on the original body collapsing. Wang Lin’s avatar’s face was pale. He clenched his teeth as he shared the unimaginable pain with the original body.

The veins on his face were swollen and large drops of sweat fell.

The bone calamity descended ruthlessly like this. With the ancient gods’ powerful vitality, even with no flesh or blood left, they could recover as long as there was a trace of vitality remaining. The first trial was vitality!

After the vitality was erased, the bone calamity would arrive and attempt to destroy the bones that could no longer recover without the vitality. Once all the bones were destroyed, the result would be death.

If his original body died, his avatar would perish.

If he wanted to pass the bone calamity, he would have to reawaken his vitality to fight it until his bones reformed.

The newly formed bones would be several times stronger than before. Magic treasures wouldn’t be able to damage them at all!

Therefore, even though the pain was worse than death, he still endured. Both his avatar and original body endured! He endured the pain of his bones fracturing and collapsing.

He had to wait until the moment all his bones shattered to get the biggest gains! If not, even if he resisted and was successful, only some of the bones would be reformed and the rest would stay the same as before.

If that happened, he would have wasted this chance. However, Wang Lin understood that the longer he resisted, the lower the success rate. As more bones collapsed, the difficulty increased.

In truth, ignoring those who went through this at eight stars, almost all 7-star ancient gods would choose to wait for all their bones to collapse before they resisted. This was all so they could change this calamity into a great fortune.

This idea was good, but it was rare that anyone actually lasted that long. Most of the time, when only a human fingernail-sized amount of bone remained, they couldn’t help but begin to resist. As a result, that fingernail-sized bone would become the only flaw on the body of most ancient gods.

Since 7-star ancient gods were like this, even fewer 6-star ancient gods were able to hold out until the last moment. The last moment was like the end of the path. There were countless steps forward if you succeeded, but if you took a step back, it meant death.

Wang Lin’s wasn’t sure if he could last until the last moment. However, in order to reform his flesh and blood so he could become a true ancient god and not an incomplete one, Wang Lin decided to risk it all.

“My avatar is a heaven-defying cultivator, my original body is bloodline-defying. I, Wang Lin, spent my life cultivating the word ‘defy.’ I defy the heavens, defy the calamity, and even defy fate! A mere calamity isn’t enough to stop my defying path!” Wang Lin’s avatar and original body shined, revealing unyielding gazes.

There was no shout or roar; just that unyielding gaze was able to display Wang Lin’s defying nature. It was invisible and heaven-shaking!

Crackling sounds echoed loudly as his entire right leg had collapsed and even everything up to his knee on his left leg had turned to ashes. The sound of bones collapsing gradually transmitted to the surface.

During this half a month, the entire continent of Mo Luo could hear the thunderous rumbles coming from the ground. At first it was faint, but it grew louder and louder. Now even the earth was trembling slightly.

The mortals on the continent were terrified as they didn’t know what was happening. They could only kneel and pray for the gods to not be angry.

The cultivators of the Origin Sect put a huge importance on this matter. They sent out almost the whole sect to investigate. These noises sounded like a roars, and every time it fell in their ears, they couldn’t help but be shaken.

Li Xiangdong and Lu Yanfei, along with the other two elders, floated in the air and looked at the earth. Due to their cultivation levels, they clearly felt where the roars were coming form.

Li Xiangdong wanted to go down to check, but he was stopped by Lu Yanfei. However, now the roars were even more intense, almost heaven-shaking.

If this was it, it wouldn’t be an issue, but all the origin energy on the continent began to stir as if there was an invisible vortex sucking in origin energy from all directions.

What terrified the four of them even more was that a large amount of origin energy was gathering outside the continent. Although this origin energy was outside, once it rushed in, the barrier around the continent would collapse instantly.

Thinking about the consequences of this, the four of them would feel their scalps tingle.

What shocked them even more were the fierce beasts that appeared in the fog outside the continent. For some reason, large amounts of fierce beasts were lured to the continent of Mo Luo. They all stared fiercely at the continent, but they also showed hesitation.

They were going to charge in several times but were held off. It was as if there were something really attractive here for the fierce beasts, but rationality made them not dare to move. This resulted in hesitation.

There were rank 5 and even rank 6 beasts among them! What terrified Li Xiangdong even more was that he even saw a rank 7 best. A rank 7 beast was enough to battle a mid stage Nirvana Cleanser cultivator!

“Junior Sister Lu, I don’t know why you stopped the three of us, but today we must go check. We must know exactly what is happening that is causing this unexpected surge in origin energy and attracting all the fierce beasts that hide in the star fog!” Li Xiangdong thought of the rank 7 beast and his mind trembled. He stared at Lu Yanfei with a very serious expression.

The other two elders also silently looked at Lu Yanfei.

Lu Yanfei bit her lower lip and silently nodded.

Chapter 1158 – Repeated Bone Refinement

One of the two elders worriedly said, “If it was only rank 7 beast, it would be fine… I just fear that if this continues, a rank 8 beast that could fight a peak Nirvana Cleanser cultivator might appear, and what if rank 9 beasts that are no different from Nirvana Shatterer cultivators are attracted… By then, my continent of Mo Luo will be plunged into chaos!”

Li Xiangdong pondered a bit and slowly said, “I don’t think so. After all, this continent is located near the edge of the rank 4 region, so there shouldn’t be any powerful monsters around…”

“I hope so…” The old man shook his head and revealed a bitter face before looking at Lu Yanfei. Even now, the three of them didn’t know why Li Yanfei had stopped them from checking.

Lu Yanfei didn’t explain. She turned into a ray of light and charged down. The three of them looked at each other and silently followed Lu Yanfei. When they got near the ground, there was a flash of light and they penetrated the ground.

Underground, the four of them slowed down as the roars became even more clear. Due to being closer to the sound, not only did their minds tremble, their bodies trembled as well.

Terrifying fluctuations came from the depths, causing them to feel pressure in their souls. It was as if there was a terrifying existence that could shock the world, and before it, the three of them were merely ants!

This clear feeling immediately caused them to stop and their expressions to become serious. Only Lu Yanfei’s eyes lit up and bit her lower lip, but no one knew what she was thinking.

“What the hell is it!? To give off such pressure!”

“These fluctuations shouldn’t be a treasure!”

The three of them were extremely cautious. After hesitating for a bit, Li Xiangdong clenched his teeth and led the way. He wanted to see what exactly was down there!

The deeper they went, the greater the pressure became. The roars became even more deafening, causing them to tremble. This pressure made them feel like they were facing the end of the world.

The four moved slower and slower, and the pressure coming from underground contained a hint of madness. The moment the four of them felt it, they immediately trembled.

“I suggest we leave immediately.” Lu Yanfei had been silent the whole way, and this was the first time she had sent out a message.

The remaining three silently thought for a moment before Li Xiangdong’s eyes lit up, and he said, “I refuse to leave without knowing what is down below!” With that, he immediately charged deeper.

The two elders hesitated for a bit before following him. Lu Yanfei let out a sigh and also followed. As the four of them went deeper, the source of the sound became closer.

At this moment, the roar was already far stronger than thunder. From their current position, they could hear the original sound, a heaven-shaking, crackling sound.

This noise was like the sound of bones breaking. This caused them to feel all the bones in their bodies tingle.

However, just as the four closed in and were about to enter the source, a crazed divine sense swept by.

“Leave this place!!!”

This divine sense was very powerful and smashed into them like a storm. Li Xiangdong was the closest and was directly knocked back by the storm. His body trembled and he coughed out blood as popping sounds echoed in his body. He retreated without hesitation and monstrous fear filled his eyes.

Not only him, but even the two elders’ bodies trembled as they coughed out blood and immediately retreated. Their minds trembled and fear and terror appeared in their eyes.

Even Lu Yanfei’s body trembled as blood came out of the corner of her mouth. However, her eyes became even brighter as this voice confirmed the speculation in her heart.

“Which senior is cultivating here. Junior is the Origin Sect’s Li…” Li Xiangdong clasped his hands while retreating and tried to speak.

“Scram!!” The divine sense spread out again, but it was several times stronger and crazier than before. This divine sense formed a storm that caused the continent of Mo Luo to tremble.

A crazed power came from the depths and charged toward the four of them. Li Xiangdong’s body trembled and he coughed out even more blood. Under the impact of this power, they were forced back in a straight line as if there was an unimaginable force pushing them. The ground trembled before they were thrown out from underground.

Just as he broke through the surface and floated in the air, there was another roar. The two elders were thrown out from underground, both coughing out blood. They were in an extremely sorry state, and Lu Yanfei was the same.

The four of them stood in the air, their eyes filled with terror. Their hearts trembled as they looked at each other. Lu Yanfei took a deep breath as she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and slowly said, “I already told you all not to go! Fortunately, although Grand Uncle-Master was angry, he didn’t hurt us much.”

“Grand Uncle-Master?” The three of them were pale, and that crazed divine sense was imprinted in their minds. Just thinking about it frightened them, but Lu Yanfei’s words startled them.

Lu Yanfei pondered for a moment and softly said, “Grand Uncle-Master Lu Zhihao. You all should have heard of him.”

Ignoring the four of them for now, deep underground, Wang Lin’s 3,000-foot-tall body had almost all of its bones shattered, leaving behind bone ashes in the shape of a person. There were still thunderous roars coming from it.

Even a majority of the skull had shattered, and it was still collapsing. This kind of pain was indescribable and was burning the minds of both the original body and the avatar.

Just at this moment, crackling sounds came from the remaining half-skull, and it collapsed even more. It continued to collapse, and the bone ashes scattered. The skull continued to shrink until it was only the size of a human palm.

This small piece of bone was really insignificant to a 3,000 foot ancient god, but Wang Lin still endured despite the fact that this suffering was enough to make him go mad!

The rumbling continued.

The palm-sized bone began to disintegrate and became smaller and smaller. It was only the size of a fingernail, but due to the aftermath of the collapse, it completely dissipated.

Time seemed to stop and the world seemed to no longer function. The broken bones turned to ashes and began to dissipate. At this moment, Wang Lin’s avatar suddenly opened his eyes and raised his right hand!

“Stop!”

With one word, the avatar’s body immediately trembled. Rumbling sounds came from his body as he coughed out blood and was knocked back. At the same time, the dissipating ashes paused for a moment!

Shortly after, the aura of an ancient god spread out like crazy. The origin energy outside the continent of Mo Luo rushed in and closed in on this place.

A silent roar that could penetrate the soul echoed underground. It rushed out and echoed within the ears of every mortal, cultivator, and creature on the continent.

This roar contained the defying will. Wang Lin’s avatar suffered serious injuries from the backlash of using the Stop spell to win a chance for the original body to survive!

The dissipating ashes began to condense at an unimaginable speed and formed a fingernail-sized piece of bone!

During the recondensing processes, the origin energy of the continent mixed in with the bone. The reformed bone was far stronger than this original body’s original bones!

This fingernail-sized bone continued to grow until it was seven inches long. This seven inch bone took a a good chunk of origin energy stored on the continent of Mo Luo.

The bone was still growing and soon formed a curved skull about five feet large. On the bone, there was a burst of black light, and that black light was the bone calamity that was crushing the ancient god’s bones. The bone calamity was constantly destroying the bones while the original body kept reforming them. This cycle continued until the bones of the original body reached a peak.

Bursts of silent roars echoed as the five foot skull began to grow. Eventually, all the origin energy on the continent of Mo Luo was absorbed, leaving nothing behind.

At this moment, Wang Lin’s skull had completely reformed. Red light shined out from his eye sockets, revealing an unyielding will!

“I’m an ancient god that dares to fight the heavens. A mere bone calamity can’t destroy me!” The red light from the original body’s eyes was bright and his neck began to form. At the same time, the origin energy gathered outside the continent of Mo Luo rushed in toward the protective barrier.

The protective barrier collapsed like paper.

The moment it collapsed, the powerful origin energy entered. It turned into a storm and rushed at the Origin Sect. All the cultivators in the Origin Sect had already evacuated. They were staring at the storm of origin energy rushing underground.

The collapse of the barrier and the surge of origin energy caused the fierce beasts outside to enter. However, before they could spread out, they were pulled into the Origin Sect by this suction force.

The sky was shrouded by the fog, and the fog flowed like a river into the ground.

Those fierce beasts outside seemed to be frightened. All of them retreated and didn’t dare to close in.

Large amounts of origin energy and fog were quickly absorbed by Wang Lin. The rumbling continued as Wang Lin’s bones reformed at an incredible speed. His bones recondensed while confronting the bone calamity.

Not only had his skull and neck reappeared, Wang Lin’s entire upper body had reformed!

Although the bone calamity was strong, it was forced to retreat from Wang Lin’s defying will and desperate struggle. It wasn’t able to stop the bones from regenerating at all!

All the origin energy and star fog within 50 kilometers of the continent of Mo Luo were pulled in. From afar, it looked like a giant vortex had formed, and the Origin Sect was the center of the vortex.

Even further away, a giant, lion-shaped beast covered in thorns moved toward the continent of Mo Luo with a greedy gaze. None of the fierce beasts dared to approach it when the aura of a rank 8 beast spread out.

Chapter 1159 – Might

All the origin energy within 50 kilometers was rushing in, but it still wasn’t enough!

Wang Lin’s upper body had reformed and his lower half was still reforming. The origin energy continued to surge in, being pulled from the surrounding 500 kilometer area.

This giant vortex stirred all the origin energy and star fog in the area, but its expansion didn’t stop. After all, compared to the continent of Mo Luo, 500 kilometers was truely insignificant!

1,500 kilometer, 2,500 kilometers, 5,000 kilometers, 15,000 kilometers…. 50,000 kilometers, 150,000 kilometers… 500,000 kilometers!!

The fog and origin energy within 500,000 kilometers of the continent of Mo Luo went crazy and rushed into the continent!

Very few people in the Cloud Sea knew where the star fog came from. It was as if this star fog had always been here. If one looked back, one would find that before the Celestial Realm collapsed and the Ancient Celestial Realm was still there, this fog existed as well.

What exactly the star fog was was a difficult question for the cultivators in the Cloud Sea to explain. They only knew that it was because of this star fog that the Cloud Sea was filled with fierce beasts!

Wang Lin didn’t know what the star fog was, but as the fog merged into his reforming bones, he had a strange feeling. However, he wasn’t able to figure out why.

As the origin energy from within 500,000 kilometers of the continent of Mo Luo rushed in, Wang Lin’s legs began to reform. The explosive growth speed was stronger than the bone calamity, and a moment later, his left leg formed!

His right leg soon reformed as well. After all the bones in his body had reformed, the bone calamity disappeared!

However, the calamity wasn’t over yet. After his bones were restored, tendons began appearing and flesh reformed around his bones.

However, the moment this flesh reappeared, it immediately collapsed. The flesh calamity arrived and thus achieved the goal of grinding away his vitality.

Wang Lin had already prepared for this phenomenon. The moment the flesh calamity appeared, the avatar wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and opened up his storage space.

Fist-sized blood crystals he had gotten from the Land of the Ancient God flew out. He had used some of them to help the original body keep a trace of vitality, and he was going to use the rest here.

At this moment, these blood crystals flew out and fell on Wang Lin’s bones. The moment they landed, they invaded his bones.

The moment Wang Lin took out the blood crystals, all of the retreating fierce beasts stopped, looked at the continent, and began to roar. There was a hint of madness in their eyes, as if the blood crystals were the best nourishment for them. As long as they caught a scent, they were willing to do anything for it.

As the roars continued, these fierce beasts immediately changed direction and charged at the continent of Mo Luo. There were rank 5, 6, and 7 beasts among them. They all seemed to have gone crazy as they rushed down.

The Origin Sect cultivators were shocked by these events. They were awakened by the fierce beasts rushing down.

After Wang Lin’s original body had absorbed the blood crystals, lines of blood apepared over the bones. As the origin energy and star fog surged in, flesh began to form along the lines of blood.

At this moment, the roars of the fierce beasts entered the ground. Killing intent appeared in the eyes of the avatar, and the original body’s eyes also gave off a ghostly glow.

Crackling sounds echoed as the original body shrank from 3,000 feet to the size of a normal person. The avatar charged out and fused with the original body once more!

After fusing with his original body, Wang Lin looked up and rushed out. Popping sounds echoed as he charged out from underground!

The moment he charged out from underground, all of the fierce beasts rushed at him like crazy. Coldness flash across Wang Lin’s eyes as he appeared before an octopus-like beast and threw a punch with his right hand.

With a bang, the fierce beast’s body trembled and blood sprayed out everywhere, created a mist of blood. Even its soul had shattered, but a invisible energy appeared and entered Wang Lin’s body.

This invisible energy was the fierce beast’s vitality and the thing Wang Lin needed the most!

He clearly felt that his original body started reforming a bit faster when that vitality entered his body. Wang Lin quickly rushed to the side of another beast and punched. He almost left behind afterimages as he moved around punching. He caused blood to rain down on the continent of Mo Luo!

Those fierce beasts wanted to devour the blood crystals Wang Lin had absorbed, but before they could succeed, they all exploded one by one. A thunderous rumble echoed across the sky.

Wang Lin took one step and appeared next to a giant python. As it opened its mouth to devour Wang Lin, Wang Lin’s fist landed on its mouth. Popping sounds echoed, then the vitality of the python entered Wang Lin’s body and its mouth exploded.

In a short period of time, more than 100 fierce beasts died. After absorbing their vitality, Wang Lin felt an extremely comfortable feeling in his body. His eyes lit up and he rushed out once more.

The fierce beasts exploded one by one. When the surrounding cultivators that were hiding saw this, they were completely shocked. This was especially true for Li Xiangdong and company. Lu Yanfei was slighlty better as she was somewhat prepared.

However, Li Xiangdong stared dumbfoundedly at all of this, and the two elders beside him gasped.

“Grand Uncle-Master… He… He is Grand Uncle-Master… That was a rank 6 beast, but it was killed by one punch spell from Grand Uncle-Master!”

Just at this moment, the roar of a beast came from the distance. At the edge of the horizon, a 2,000-feet-tall lion-shaped beast that was covered in thorns rushed over.

The moment it appeared, all the surrounding fierce beasts scattered as if they weren’t willing to get close to it.

“Rank 8 Sword Lion Beast!!” Li Xiangdong’s pupils contracted and the two elders beside him exclaimed. Even Lu Yanfei sucked in a deep breath and revealed a nervous expression.

Wang Lin suddenly raised his head, and his eyes shined. Before the eyes of every cultivator, he charged like a meteor into the sky toward the mighty rank 8 fierce beast.

He moved faster than lightning. When he got close to the lion, Wang Lin mercilessly kicked with his left foot.

A heaven-shaking roar echoed as the mighty beast’s body trembled and exploded into a mist of blood. A large amount of vitality entered Wang Lin’s body. He was like a god standing there, enjoying the large amount of vitality from the rank 8 beast!

The surroundings suddenly became silent, and the greed from the surrounding fierce beasts disappeared and was replaced with fear. All the cultivators stared at this scene, almost unable to believe their own eyes.

“Rank 8…” Li Xiangdong was startled and his mind was blank. The two elders behind him were also in a daze. They were completely shocked.

Chapter 1160 – Li Qianmei

Just one kick was able to kill a rank 8 beast. Although a rank 8 beast could battle a peak Nirvana Cleanser cultivator, it couldn’t use treasures. It could only use the law it understood as spells. However, it was still a rank 8 beast!

Even in the Cloud Sea, a cultivator that could instantly kill a rank 8 beast was strong enough to be among the powerful!

Li Xiangdong and company stared dumbfoundedly at all of this. They felt like this Grand Uncle-Master they had never seen before was filled with mystery and majesty. Even though they had doubts about Wang Lin’s identity, they chose to ignore it without any hesitation.

“With this powerful cultivator in my Origin Sect, it will only be a matter of time before my Origin Sect dominates the rank 5 region!” Li Xiangdong and the two elders looked at each other with high spirits!

If they knew that Wang Lin had killed a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator from the rank 6 region, they would be even more shocked.

When the fierce beasts saw Wang Lin’s might, all the greed in their eyes disappeared and was replaced with fear. They immediately began to escape and were about to leave the range of the continent of Mo Luo.

Wang Lin didn’t care about what the surrounding cultivators thought. He continued to absorb the vitality of the rank 8 beast to resist the flesh calamity.

After several breaths of time, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and looked at the retreating fierce beasts. He moved forward like a harvester of life and instantly closed in on one of the escaping fierce beasts. He directly punched the beast, creating a rain of blood and vitality.

Flashes of light filled the sky as Wang Lin moved like lightning across the sky. Every time there was a flash, a fierce beast would collapse.

In an instant, Wang Lin chased them outside the continent of Mo Luo. The flashes of light continued and screams echoed across the starry sky. What awaited all the fierce beasts that were lured over by the blood crystals was a massacre.

This massacre lasted for about seven minutes before it gradually ended. Finally, there were no more fierce beasts within 5,000 kilometers of the continent of Mo Luo. Those few that escaped held a terrifying memory they could never forget. There was a cultivator on the continent of Mo Luo that was like a god.

The protective barrier around the continent of Mo Luo was repaired and everything seemed to have returned to normal as if nothing had changed. However, the shock all the cultivators of the Origin Sect experienced was still there.

At this moment, outside the southern courtyard, Li Xiangdong, Lu Yanfei, and the other two elders stood there. Although they had been there for a long time, they weren’t impatient at all.

All the cultivators in the southern courtyard were relocated to the other three courtyards. Aside from Xu Yun, who was next to Lu Yanfei, there were no other disciples remaining.

“These herbs… Were all brought back by Grand Uncle-Master?” Li Xiangdong’s gaze fell on the herbs in the courtyard. After seeing Xu Yun nod, his expression became excited.

At this moment, deep underground below the courtyard, Wang Lin sat there with his original body sitting on the opposite side, silently cultivating.

His original body had mostly recovered aside from pieces of flesh that were still growing while resisting the last of the first trial.

Time slowly passed. After three days, light flashed on Wang Lin’s chest and the flesh calamity disappeared. He had successfully passed the first trial and two calamities of the Three Trials Seven Calamities!

The original body slowly opened his eyes, revealing a bright light. An invisible aura spread out, his skin was even more coarse, and his bones were even stronger!

At this moment, the original body had become a true ancient god. It was no longer incomplete like before! After devouring endless origin energy and the mysterious fog, the cultivation level of the original body had increased greatly.

Another star appeared next to the five stars on his forehead. Although this star was a bit blurry and not fully formed, it made Wang Lin ecstatic!

Ancient gods were not like cultivators; each star was simply too difficult to obtain. In the past 1,000 years, Wang Lin went through many hardships and took countless risks to finally be able to make his ancient god body reach five stars.

Although the sixth star was still blurry, it could use far more strength than before! More importantly, once an ancient god reached six stars, they would be able to produce their own Moongazer Serpent!

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Wang Lin left his original body in the depths of the continent to continue absorbing origin energy and begin forming his Moongazer Serpent. Wang Lin left the underground and appeared in the house in the courtyard.

He let out a deep breath, and his mood was very pleasant. This original body passing the trial would increase his strength in the Cloud Sea greatly. With his avatar and original body combined, killing an early stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivator wouldn’t be as difficult as before!

“However, the gap between early, mid, late, and peak Nirvana Shatterer is great. I don’t know if I can stand up to mid stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivators with my original body and avatar fused!” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he pushed open the door and walked out.

The moment Wang Lin appeared, a gentle breeze blew on his face, and it felt very comfortable. The barrier was activated once more, so the sky was blue and white clouds could be seen.

Looking at the herbs in the courtyard, Wang Lin made a decision. He would take some time to increase his cultivation level using the unique alchemy of the Cloud Sea.

While pondering, Wang Lin’s gaze fell on the five people outside, and he slowly said, “You all can come in.”

His voice was calm, but it contained a trace of majesty. The moment it fell in the ears of the five people outside, they all took deep breaths. They were tense but filled with respect as they walked inside.

Xu Yun was even more nervous as she followed inside after Lu Yanfei.

The moment Li Xiangdong and company entered, they respectfully said, “Disciple greets Grand Uncle-Master. I didn’t know Grand Uncle-Master had returned, and we neglected to greet Grand Uncle-Master. Please punish us.”

After a brief conversation, everyone left. Xu Yun could no longer live here and returned to the southern pavilion with Lu Yanfei. The entire southern courtyard was now a restricted area that no disciples were allowed to enter.

At the same time, under Wang Lin’s order, large amounts of high quality pills and pill recipes were sent to him. However, none of these pills could catch Wang Lin’s eye. After observing them, he only kept the recipes and had people take the pills away.

While Wang Lin was studying alchemy, a mad search due to Shi Luoxing’s death began far away from the continent of Mo Luo. The cultivators of the various rank 6 sects sent out cultivators to check the continents. Some even went to the regions below rank 5.

As the rank 6 region began to move, the news of the jade and recipe began to spread. This alarmed the rank 7 region and even caught the attention of the rank 8 region.

Rays of lights flew out from the rank 7 and 8 regions toward the sealed wild continent in the rank 5 region.

The star fog in the depths of the Cloud Sea was extremely dense, so much so that even a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator could only spread their divine sense out 500 feet. Rushing into the star fog without preparation was like going in blind, and it was very easy to get lost.

The most powerful fierce beasts lived here. Some even used spells to make their bodies one with the fog to comprehend law. If no cultivator provoked them, they wouldn’t take the initiative to attack.

Compared to them, the few cultivation planets in the star fog were like outsiders, completely insignificant.

However, the power contained within these few cultivation planets was heaven-shaking. Even these powerful beasts dreaded them and wouldn’t dare to approach them.

This was the rank 9 region of the Cloud Sea!

There were seven cultivation planets arranged in the big dipper formation at the edge of the rank 9 region. This created a layer of protection around them, making it so there was no difference between them.

At this moment on the first planet of the formation, under millions of layers of protection, there was a prairie, and on that prairie stood a towering building.

This building was a statue of a cultivator pointing at the sky, seeming to be cursing at it. A difficult-to-describe sense of majesty enveloped the area.

The prairie was completely silent and only a few small spirit beasts would sometimes appear. They played around and quickly moved off into the distance. After a long time, a ray of light closed in from the horizon.

There was a woman inside the ray of light. She was beautiful, but she had a strange hair color; she had a head of blue hair. In the entire Cloud Sea, only one person had that hair!

That was the rank 9 Heaven Breaking Sect’s Li Qianmei!

She began cultivating at age five, reached the Foundation Establishment stage at age seven, Core Formation at age 19, Nascent Soul at age 26, Soul Formation at age 37, Soul Transformation at age 45, and Ascendant at age 61. After 100 years of cultivating, she was at the peak of the Illusory Yin stage.

Then the entire Heaven Breaking Sect poured their effort into cultivating her. After more than 400 years, she reached peak of the Nirvana Scryer stage. Then, 300 years later, she became a mid stage Nirvana Cleanser cultivator.

After 500 years of training outside, she became the youngest Nirvana Shatterer cultivator in the Heaven Breaking Sect! To this day, she had cultivated for more than 1,300 years and had reached the late stage of Nirvana Shatterer.

In the Cloud Sea, the name “Li Qianmei” was a legend!

“Disciple Li Qiangmei greets Ancestor!” The light disappeared, revealing a beautiful woman inside.

“Sima Mo’s jade has appeared. Take a trip to the rank 5 region. If possible, find the person who found the jade and bring them back along with the jade…” An ancient voice filled with melancholy slowly echoed from the statue.

Li Qianmei respectfully nodded and left.

There was a white-haired old man sitting inside the statue. There were many spots on his rotting body and there was reminiscence in his eyes. After a long time, he shook his head and let out a sigh.

“Senior Brother Sima, back then, perhaps it was Teacher who was wrong…”
