The blue sea surged and layers of waves fused to form a wall of waves. From afar, it looked like a blue line had appeared between the sea and the sky, and it was extending toward Wang Lin.
Before it even got close, the rumbling of the waves could already be heard. It was enough to make one's ears ring, and it made one feel as if they were insignificant in the face of the waves that were as powerful as the might of the heavens.
Wang Lin's gaze was serious as he stared at the waves before him. His feet stepped on the surface of the sea and he immediately retreated. His figure was like a cloud, and as he retreated, he thought to himself,
"I landed in a bush of flowers. Even if I triggered the restriction, I wouldn't appear in the sea …" Wang Lin's eyes lit up. The endless wall of waves moved even faster and closed in on Wang Lin in the blink of an eye.
"My body was injured by the impact of the Celestial Burial Pool's collapse. Even my Origin Soul was shaken. I need to heal my injuries as soon as possible. Since this strange ocean is part of the restriction, there will definitely be endless changes …"
As the waves closed in, the dense water vapor became even more dense. From afar, it looked like a mist was spreading. When one looked at the waves, they would feel as if they were being shattered.
The waves roared and surged higher and higher. When they closed in on Wang Lin, they mercilessly smashed down on Wang Lin.
At this instant, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he took a step forward. He merged with the sea and rapidly sank down as if he was falling 1,000 kilograms.
The moment his body disappeared, the waves crashed onto the surface of the sea, and an invisible tremor spread through the sea. More waves were set off in the surroundings, and the wall of waves swept across the area.
Wang Lin's body continued to sink, avoiding the tremors of the sea. He ignored the waves and moved toward the bottom of the sea.
As he moved forward, Wang Lin's brow gradually furrowed.
"This is definitely not a real sea. Along the way, I haven't seen a single creature … And most importantly …" Wang Lin's body paused and his right hand formed a seal. A vortex immediately appeared before him. At first, the vortex wasn't large, but after a few breaths of time, it began to expand. In the blink of an eye, it was 100 feet wide and pushed the sea away, revealing an area 100 feet wide. From afar, it looked like a giant bubble.
Wang Lin was inside the bubble and his right hand reached out. A fist-sized ball of sea water entered the bubble and entered Wang Lin's right hand.
Holding the ball of sea water, Wang Lin sniffed it and his eyes lit up.
"As I expected, this seawater doesn't smell fishy!" While pondering, Wang Lin placed the ball of seawater next to his mouth and licked it.
"This is not sea water!" His right hand mercilessly squeezed and the ball of sea water immediately collapsed.
Wang Lin raised his head and looked up. He began to ponder and there was a flash of deduction in his eyes.
"This is dew!
My early cultivation relied on the heaven defying bead, so I am very familiar with this dew. There is no way I would be wrong.
This isn't the sea, but the world of water droplets on a petal or a bunch of grass leaves in the flowers! "
Wang Lin's eyes revealed enlightenment. He looked around with admiration in his eyes.
"What a powerful restriction technique, to use a drop of dew to create a world that traps people." After seeing through the sea before him, Wang Lin's expression didn't relax but became even more serious.
"Restriction techniques focus on attacking and trapping people. There are very few restrictions that focus on trapping people. This is the Celestial Emperor Cave. I heard from the Tattoo Clan's Divine Ancestor Qiu Yao that Celestial Emperor Qing Lin was someone who could exterminate people. This kind of restriction wouldn't just be used to trap people."
While Wang Lin pondered, he couldn't help but look at his bag of holding. Before he entered, he clearly saw Qing Lin's avatar fly toward him and enter the yellow crystal.
"Looking at Qiu Yao's expression, what she said doesn't seem to be false. However, with my thousand years of experience, I can't usually believe only one side of the story in this world. It is just like black and white. If you look at them separately, they are two different colors and they will definitely not be the slightest bit similar. However, if you place the black and white together and allow them to merge, the result will be gray!"
With Wang Lin's intelligence, unless it was something he had seen himself or analyzed himself, he wouldn't completely believe what others said even if he heard it.
All of this was the accumulation of more than 1,000 years of experience. If it was before he started cultivating or when he was at the Heng Yue Sect, he might have actually believed it.
"It doesn't matter if it's real or fake. No matter what, I got to know Qing Lin a bit. I can't let him activate the restriction here again!" Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he carefully controlled the bubble around him to slowly sink down.
After a long time, he landed at the bottom of the sea. The ground at the bottom of the sea was gray and gave off a hazy feeling. Wang Lin sat at the bottom of the sea and closed his eyes to heal.
Although he was healing, he didn't close off his divine sense. He had it spread out 100 feet around him and carefully observed any abnormal changes.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. On the eighth day, Wang Lin opened his eyes, and there was a flash of fire in his eyes.
He pondered a bit. In this quiet sea, Wang Lin recalled everything that had happened when he entered the Celestial Emperor Cave. Rosefinch's accidental awakening and breaking the bottle world. Wang Lin's memory stopped at the scroll in Ancient Demon Bei Lou's right hand.
"I presume that is the Lonely Desert Smoke Painting from the Mountain and River Painting."
"Rosefinch's awakening came at the wrong time … I didn't expect Rosefinch's awakening and Rosefinch's voice to be able to penetrate the 99 realms and let everyone know.
"As a result, they will all think I'm a member of the Four Divine Sect.
Looking at Master Void's expression, although he didn't give me any clues, I felt like there were needles poking at my back.
"There is also that beautiful middle-aged woman. She is only at the Nirvana Cleanser stage, and although she hid her gaze very well, I still saw a trace of hostility.
"The person suspected to be the Brilliant Void Saintess was the same.
"I must be even more cautious on this trip to the Celestial Emperor Cave. Otherwise, it is likely that I will be killed because of Rosefinch's awakening." Wang Lin touched the Rosefinch tattoo on his body and his expression became gloomy.
It wasn't until he recalled Ta Shan's fortuitous encounter in the Celestial Burial Pool that Wang Lin's expression changed again.
"Ta Shan … He was originally my celestial guard, but unfortunately … meeting the Tattoo Clan's Divine Ancestor was his fortune. I just don't know where he is right now and if he still remembers me." He let out a sigh. Thinking about Ta Shan, Wang Lin naturally thought about the green gas Qiu Yao had given him.
With a thought, Wang Lin raised his right hand. Green gas appeared around his right arm and gathered in his palm, forming a ball of green gas.
This green gas wasn't static; it was constantly moving. After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin sent a sliver of his divine sense toward the green gas and fused with it.
Wang Lin's expression changed and he gradually frowned. As he examined the green gas, he would sometimes be filled with joy, then he would ponder, and sometimes he would be filled with confusion.
After a long time, Wang Lin squeezed his right hand and the green gas dissipated.
"Wither Tattoo … This is a tattoo that only the Tattoo Clan can make. If an outsider were to make it, they would need the help of a member of the Tattoo Clan to activate it. Its power is divided into four types: seal, collapse, escape, and release!"
While pondering, Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and a piece of yellow paper appeared in his hand. There were complex runes on it and it looked quite old.
Wang Lin originally had two of these talismans from the Luo Tian star system. However, even after studying them for a long time, he still didn't know their effects. The only time he had used them was during his battle with the Luo Tian Yao family.
After looking at the green gas, Wang Lin was certain that this talisman was a Wither Tattoo!
After carefully looking at the rune on the yellow paper, Wang Lin began to ponder. A moment later, he bit his left index finger and squeezed out a drop of blood. His left hand quickly formed a seal according to the green light and pressed it on the drop of blood.
The drop of blood immediately stopped in midair and countless small bumps appeared on it. Finally, it turned into a red gas that flew toward the talisman.
It was so fast that it almost instantly closed in on the talisman and fused with it. Wang Lin stared at the talisman. What he had just used was a seal he had just learned to see what type of Wither Tattoo it was.
A moment later, the talisman suddenly moved and a black whirlwind appeared. This whirlwind was so fast that it immediately caused the water around Wang Lin to change.
Within the whirlwind, a bird that looked like a Roc could be vaguely seen. This bird was completely black, and its eyes flashed with lightning. It appeared within the whirlwind and swept around once before disappearing with the whirlwind.
"This is an escape type Wither Tattoo that has already been activated by the Tattoo Clan!"
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed. He slapped his bag of holding and a large sword flew out. This sword was one of the 99 Death Realm Realms.
Although more than a dozen had collapsed, there were still a lot of them in Wang Lin's bag of holding.
Holding the Wither Tattoo, Wang Lin pressed it down on the large sword without hesitation. His right hand formed a strange seal and he pointed up. The large sword trembled and a whirlwind appeared. In an instant, it disappeared.
It disappeared so fast that even Wang Lin felt his vision blur. When he regained his vision, the large sword was already 100 feet away.
Although it was impossible to see the sword's full speed from 100 feet away, it was still possible to see some clues.
"What fast speed!!!"
Wang Lin sucked in a breath of cold air as he stared at the large sword 100 feet away. The whirlwind had disappeared and the runes on the talisman had dimmed a bit.
"Even if I use my full power, it would be difficult for me to reach this kind of speed. Perhaps it can match the speed of a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator!
If it is combined with Spatial Bending … "Wang Lin's eyes were filled with joy.
