Just as Wang Yan was shocked, the white-haired old man said again, "The era of great battle has arrived, and the secret realm has opened earlier.
？”
"All of this means that the Starsource Continent is about to change. Kid, work hard."
With that, the white-haired old man's surroundings glowed as if his body had been completely set on fire at that moment.
A terrifying presence slowly appeared, like a boulder weighing down on them. It basically suffocated Wang Yan and the white-haired old man.
"I'm about to leave this world. It's fate that we've met."
"Once my body is completely incinerated, a storage ring will appear."
"This storage ring belongs to this old man. There are Medicinal Pills, Martial Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, and everything else in there."
The ancient, desolate voice rang out slowly, stunning Wang Yan for a moment. He had no idea what to say.
They had only met once, yet the white-haired old man had given him everything he had hidden in his entire life.
Wasn't it a little too inconceivable for a pie to fall from the sky?
"My only request is to avenge my ten million dead disciples!"
Wang Yan shivered inside. Just when he wanted to turn him down, the white-haired old man's body completely dispersed, only leaving behind a gradually illusionary figure.
"If you can't do it, there's no need to force yourself too much. If you have the strength and heart, avenge me in the future."
"Even if I've been buried in the netherworld for millions of years, I'll still be eternally grateful!"
"The clues are in the storage ring. Kid, everything you want to know is in there as well.
I'm … leaving. "
The ancient and desolate voice carried a bit of relief and a bit of reluctance.
"Be careful of the kid beside you. He's … not human."
The illusionary figure was like a bubble, unable to escape the laws of the world in the end. It slowly dispersed, no longer existing in the world.
A simple and unadorned storage ring that was as black as ink floated in front of Wang Yan with a tinge of deep green.
The storage ring was very ancient. It gave off the presence of time, and complicated, profound patterns were carved all over it. In the centre was a life-like sword.
Wang Yan hesitated again and again before extending his hand slowly in the end.
However, right at this moment, as if it had a mind of its own, the pitch-black and dark green storage ring automatically slipped itself onto Wang Yan's finger.
In that instant, Wang Yan had a strange feeling in his heart.
It was as if this was not a storage ring, but a living being with intelligence!
It was as if he would never be able to take this storage ring off for the rest of his life.
"Big brother, he, he's dead?"
Hearing Lin's slightly nervous voice, Wang Yan nodded. At the same time, he thought of the white-haired old man's last words.
Lin wasn't human?
These words had a very deep meaning, at least until now, Wang Yan still did not understand.
If Lin had the Ancient Desolate Beast Body, then it was very likely that he wasn't human. Then, the white-haired elder's words were easy to understand.
But if he wasn't, then what was Lin?
"Big Brother, what are you thinking?
Hurry up and leave, the pagoda is about to collapse! "
While Wang Yan was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard Lin's anxious shout.
He was startled and subconsciously looked around. His expression changed slightly.
The pagoda, which had become mottled and dilapidated under the corrosion of time, finally collapsed because its owner was completely gone.
"Let's go!"
With a low shout, Wang Yan grabbed Lin and was about to jump into the air and fly down.
However, as soon as he jumped down, Wang Yan's expression became extremely grave.
Because he had forgotten that ever since he entered this place, his Dantian seemed to have been sealed and there was no astral power at all!
Wouldn't he be courting death if he jumped down now?!
However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he saw Wang Yan and Lin Fan, who were falling at a high speed, turn into a ray of light and soar into the sky!
It was as if the seal on his Dantian had been completely lifted at this moment.
…
The dome formed by the gray curtains made it impossible for anyone to know the concept of time in this place.
The brown land stretched as far as the eye could see, and there were countless dilapidated ruins.
Some of these ruins had been completely hollowed out by those who had come before, while others had ancient treasures buried deep within them.
Wang Yan and Lin left the pagoda and flew west, not stopping for even a moment.
On the way, Wang Yan also learned about Lin's specific cultivation realm.
Although he had been abandoned in these ruins since he was a child, Lin's talent was extraordinary.
Without anyone to guide him, he had actually reached the peak of the eighth stage of Star Forging!
If he really was the owner of the Ancient Desolate Beast Body, then his true strength was absolutely comparable to a peak Star Forging master!
No wonder Wang Yan had always felt that Lin wasn't a martial cultivator at all. It turned out that his cultivation realm had long surpassed the scope of his Divine Soul's perception.
But his only shortcoming was that he lacked martial skills and combat experience.
However, this wasn't a problem for Wang Yan.
What did he lack?
He lacked Star Guiding Stones and star coins.
As for martial skills, cultivation methods, and combat experience, they were what he lacked the least.
"When you meet Cang Jin, you'll know just how small and thin your physique is."
Hearing this, Lin's eyes suddenly revealed a look of envy and worship.
Because under Wang Yan's narration, Cang Jin's tall and mighty figure had already been deeply imprinted in the deepest part of his mind.
"Big Brother, are we going to find Senior Apprentice Brother Cang Jin now?"
Wang Yan nodded, a look of nostalgia in his eyes. "There's no time to lose. Let's not search the ruins for now. Let's hurry up and find Cang Jin and the others."
As his words fell, Wang Yan sensed his damaged Divine Soul and quickly moved forward with Lin.
Referring to the position of the sun before entering the mystic realm, Wang Yan judged that they had already been in the mystic realm for five days.
And his cultivation was gradually advancing towards the peak of the fourth stage of Star Forging. Moreover, all of this wasn't done deliberately!
From this, it could be seen how rich the power of the stars in the ancient mystic realm was.
Wang Yan very much wanted to restore his Divine Soul, but Lin was here.
He didn't want anyone to know about the existence of the Broken Star Diagram.
At least until now, he hadn't even told Wang Xian 'er.
Therefore, he could only temporarily swallow a Soul Nourishing Pill to temporarily alleviate the damage to his Divine Soul.
…
At the same time, Liu Chen and Cang Jin finally searched the huge ancient sect ruins inside and out.
There wasn't the slightest bit of heavenly treasures, let alone ancient inheritances.
"Has this sect ruins already been searched by someone before?"
"Maybe."
"Then why are the Star Sect and the Star sect still stubbornly staring at it?
Is there something wrong with their brains? "
"Maybe."
"… I say, Cang Jin, can you say anything else besides maybe?"
"Or … what do you want to hear?"
Facing Cang Jin's bell-like eyes, Liu Chen was finally defeated.
She had seen people who were taciturn, but she had never seen a person as taciturn as Cang Jin. Even if she was beaten three times with a stick, she wouldn't be able to make a fart out of him.
"I really don't know how you and Wang Yan got to know each other. With the way you speak and your personality, to be able to make friends with him … it's a miracle!"
Liu Chen sighed from the bottom of her heart. Who knew that Cang Jin would actually shake his head.
