Inside the Celestial Emperor Cave, due to the collapse of the Celestial Burial Pool, everyone was pushed away by the shockwave. They all landed in different places and triggered the restrictions to disappear.
At this moment, in a place where a restriction had been triggered, there was a dense forest. Trees so thick that it would take several people to wrap their arms around them could be seen everywhere. At a glance, even the sky was blocked by the endless leaves. Only a few rays of sunlight fell through the gaps between the leaves, looking like pillars of light.
The ground was covered in rotting leaves, and when one stepped on it, it was as deep as one's waist.
The smell of decay was mixed with the decay of some fierce beast bones. If one smelled it, they would immediately feel like vomiting.
The deeper one went into the jungle, the denser the leaves were, and the less sunlight there was. It was as if the sunlight couldn't penetrate this place. As a result, a damp and gloomy atmosphere surrounded the area.
At this moment, in the depths of the jungle, there was a person sitting in the lotus position among the rotting leaves.
This person's body was like a tower and half of his body was naked. There was a blood red tattoo flashing between his eyebrows, and there were many fierce beast corpses around him. There was still blood coming from those corpses, filling this place with the smell of blood.
Strangely, almost all of the fierce beasts around the man had their fur peeled off from their foreheads, revealing their bloody flesh.
The skins that were peeled off were piled on the man's legs and gave off a ghostly glow.
After an unknown amount of time, the man slowly opened his eyes and two terrifying gazes shot out. The man's expression was calm as he looked into the distance. After a long time, he muttered to himself,
"Although I haven't completely absorbed the power of the ancestor's holy tattoo, I've comprehended a lot of the Withered Tattoo spell … However, I can't erase the figure of my previous master from my memories …" The man silently pondered before letting out a sigh and closing his eyes once more.
Wang Lin, who was deep in the sea, withdrew his gaze from the large sword. With a point of his finger, the large sword returned to his hand. Wang Lin took off the Withered Tattoo and put it away inside his bag of holding.
"With this Withered Tattoo, if I'm in danger, I'll have another life-saving method. This Withered Tattoo is indeed mysterious. After leaving the Demon Spirit Land, I'll have to find a chance to make more.
"However, according to the records in the green gas, the best material to make Withered Tattoo is the skin between the eyebrows of fierce beasts.
"The more fierce the beast, the more suitable the skin is. Even the power of the Withered Tattoo has a lot to do with this material.
"When extracting the skin, I have to use some spells to condense the beast's soul and blood essence to extract the skin …"
As Wang Lin pondered, he took a deep breath and slapped his bag of holding. There was a flash of yellow light and the yellow crystal appeared in his hand.
Staring at the crystal, Wang Lin's expression became serious. The thing he couldn't see through the most in the Celestial Emperor Cave was this yellow crystal.
"If Wang Lin had the power, and Wang Lin Spirit Land," and Wang Lin's heart. Wang Wang Mountain Sect Stage's Demon, King's Lin's Sea's Tattoo.
"If the mysterious person in the hall is really Qing Lin, what is his purpose in giving me this?!" Wang Lin looked at the yellow crystal in silence.
He clearly remembered that the crystal light formed by Qing Lin's avatar had fused with this crystal, but no matter how he looked at it now, he couldn't find any clues.
It was as if Qing Lin's avatar had disappeared, as if what he had seen before was just an illusion of Wang Lin's.
After staring at it for a long time, Wang Lin withdrew his gaze. He didn't choose to risk using his divine sense to examine it. Instead, he forcibly suppressed the thought and put the crystal back into his bag of holding.
He vaguely had a strange feeling that if he were to integrate his Divine Sense into it, something unpredictable would happen that would absolutely not be beneficial to him.
This sort of feeling was illusory, and it was purely a trace of spirituality that he'd faintly possessed after cultivating for over a thousand years.
"Now, it is time to leave this place."
Wang Lin stood up and charged upward like a dragon. The bubble moved with him.
Looking down from the sky, the sea was blue, but in the water, it was dark. However, this was not a problem for Wang Lin. As the bubble rose, the sea parted, allowing the bubble to charge toward the surface.
Along the way, Wang Lin's eyes shined with the light of deduction. However, just as he was about to rise out of the sea, Wang Lin's expression suddenly changed and he pushed his hands to the side without hesitation.
The bubble he was in immediately collapsed and a shockwave spread out. Under Wang Lin's control, the shockwave surged upward.
At the same time, the shockwave spread out like a collision. A thunderous rumble echoed across the world.
Under this loud rumble, even the sea was affected. Wang Lin immediately felt the sea around him being mercilessly pushed down by a powerful force.
His expression was cold and he didn't rush out of the sea. Instead, he moved far away from the area being pushed down. His gaze pierced through the sea and looked at the sky.
As far as the eye could see, the entire sky was filled with thick Demonic Qi. This Demonic Qi crisscrossed the area like demonic dragons.
At the center of the demonic energy stood a person. This person was surrounded by demonic energy and it was impossible to see her appearance clearly. However, one could vaguely tell that she was a woman.
Just now, when Wang Lin got close to the surface of the sea, he immediately felt a spell coming from the surface of the sea. The target was where he was, which was why Wang Lin collapsed the bubble.
"Wang Lin, come out!!!"
A voice filled with extreme hatred reverberated crazily between the heavens and earth. It even caused the sea to roar and turn into huge waves that spread in all directions.
When Wang Lin heard this voice, his eyes narrowed.
"Yao Xixue!!"
He couldn't see this person's face clearly, but the familiar feeling and the even more familiar voice allowed Wang Lin to immediately recognize this woman!
A bitter smile appeared on Wang Lin's face and he sighed inwardly. The grudge between him and Yao Xixue was a bit complicated. Back then, this woman had wanted to use Wang Lin and harbored evil intentions. She was in the wrong first, and Wang Lin wasn't a good person. Naturally, he wouldn't let her go. However, with his cultivation level at the time, he was afraid of the Blood Soul Pill and the Blood Ancestor, so he sealed her.
Although the Blood Ancestor was his enemy, Wang Lin still respected him. After all, everything he did was for his daughter.
Wang Lin knew that if someone wanted to harm Wang Ping, he would do the same thing as the Blood Ancestor. However, before that, he would choose to know everything that had happened.
The Blood Ancestor obviously didn't know what had happened, and he didn't care about Wang Lin at the time. In fact, he even wanted to kill Wang Lin. He didn't need to know what had happened, he only needed to know who had kidnapped his daughter. Knowing this was enough.
If Wang Lin had his cultivation level back then, the Blood Ancestor wouldn't have been so rude and unreasonable. He would have chosen another method to resolve this matter.
In the end, the Wang Lin back then didn't have the qualifications to be considered by the Blood Ancestor, and he didn't care about him at all. Even though he knew what had happened and that it was his daughter who had done wrong, he still chose to use his powerful cultivation to resolve the matter by killing Wang Lin to vent his anger.
It wasn't that Wang Lin hadn't considered returning Yao Xixue to the Blood Ancestor, but he had also considered taking responsibility for being sealed for hundreds of years. As long as the Blood Ancestor's request wasn't too excessive, he would have agreed. After all, he was too weak at the time.
However, the Blood Ancestor hadn't given Wang Lin a chance to explain, and in the end, he had ended up like this. Every time Wang Lin thought about this, he would sigh in his heart.
He was very clear about gratitude and grudges, and he greatly admired the Blood Ancestor. That was why when he collected the Blood Ancestor's soul, he said he would give him a chance to meet Yao Xixue again.
After coming to the Demon Spirit Land, Wang Lin knew that he would likely meet Yao Xixue. However, this person filled with demonic energy was too different from the Yao Xixue he knew, so he didn't recognize her.
However, right now Wang Lin looked at Yao Xixue in the sky and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
These thoughts flashed through his mind as Yao Xixue's voice continued to enter his ears.
"Wang Lin, come out!!
Today, you and I will completely settle the matter from back then! "
As Yao Xixue spoke, she formed a seal with both hands and demonic energy surged forth. The countless demonic dragons in the sky roared in unison and charged toward the surface of the sea. Thunderous rumbles echoed in the air, and it was as if a storm was raging on the surface of the sea.
The endless waves surged and spread out as the demonic dragons charged in. It was as if a large hole had been opened in the sea. Wang Lin let out a sigh as he charged into the sky like lightning.
The moment Wang Lin appeared, Yao Xixue's eyes were filled with hatred. The demonic energy around her became even denser, but she walked out of the demonic energy. What appeared before Wang Lin was an ugly woman with a face full of scars. She was no longer as beautiful as before.
This woman's exposed skin was covered in hideous scars. Wang Lin took a look and revealed a bitter expression once more.
For a moment, he seemed to see the cold and breathtaking figure that had appeared before him for the first time. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the person before him.
"Who can say whether what happened back then was right or wrong …? However, her father's soul is inside my Celestial Sealing Seal, and her body has been reduced to this state for the sake of revenge. Am I wrong …?" Wang Lin had always lived his life with a clear conscience. But now, he was filled with complicated emotions. "Wang Lin, you sealed me, Yao Xixue, for hundreds of years.
"Wang Lin, you sealed me, Yao Xixue, for hundreds of years. Although I hate you, I've thought it through. After all, I schemed against you first. I can endure it, but my father died because of you. The hatred between my parents is irreconcilable. I can't kill you, but someone else can!!" Yao Xixue stared at Wang Lin and clenched her teeth!
Wang Lin was silent.
