Wang Lin silently pondered and a deep worry appeared in his heart. If Shimizu wanted to do something, no one could stop him. Wang Lin let out a sigh as he closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivating.
"The Old Man knows of your relationship with Shimizu. Once you complete the first transformation of the Nine Mysterious Transformations and the Old Man takes the Rain Celestial Realm's celestial crystal, perhaps he will get news of Shimizu …" The old man looked at Wang Lin with a kind gaze.
This junior before him was his hope, the hope of the Rosefinch Divine Sect.
For this child, he could do anything!
"In the Demon Spirit Land, this child didn't forget about his friends during the crisis. Now that he is at ease, he still doesn't forget about Shimizu. This kind of person is enough for the Old Man to be at ease handing over the Rosefinch Divine Sect to him and teach him all his spells …"
The old man secretly nodded as he raised his right hand and pointed at Wang Lin's back once more. His origin energy continued to enter Wang Lin's body and surround the fire seed inside Wang Lin's origin soul.
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, another year passed. During this year, the situation in the Alliance Star System didn't change much. The disputes were still there, and the flames of war continued.
The eastern part of the Alliance, where the Four Divine Sect was located, wasn't too involved. However, due to the order from the Alliance headquarters to target Wang Lin, there were always some daring people that sneaked into the Four Divine Sect's territory.
However, these people couldn't do much and were all killed by the patrolling members of the Four Divine Sect. Even though some people with high cultivation managed to avoid the patrolling members, they were often killed by the elders of the Four Divine Sect after they ventured deeper.
The war between the Luo Tian and the Alliance continued. The Shiyin Sect was calm, but people from the Shiyin Sect would often appear on the battlefield.
On the one hand, they had appeared to collect the remains or complete corpses of those who had died in battle. On the other hand, they had contacted the forces of both sides and started trading corpses.
As the war continued, Shiyin's popularity increased. Large amounts of corpses were sent to Luo Tian and the various factions of the Alliance.
At the same time, immortal jades, magic treasures, materials, and everything else that could be used for the exchange of physical bodies also flowed into Shiyin's body in large quantities.
In the entire Alliance Star System, only the Brilliant Void Realm and the Four Divine Sect were relatively peaceful, as if they were isolated from the rest of the world.
In this one year, Wang Lin's breathing speed became faster and faster, and the thunderous sounds coming from his body constantly reverberated within the Star Domain of the Rosefinch Holy Sect. Although many of the people of the Rosefinch Holy Sect had never seen him before, they all remembered him.
All of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect members knew that Wang Lin, who had let out that thunderous roar, was their future Divine Emperor, the hope of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect. However, wherever there are people, there will be disputes and power struggles.
It was the same in the Rosefinch Holy Sect. Not everyone recognized Wang Lin. On the contrary, there were many people who opposed the sudden appearance of Wang Lin.
This was especially true for the three people that the Rosefinch Holy Sect had chosen from a large number of people in order to cultivate a new Divine Emperor. They were extremely unwilling.
There were even some older cultivators that were dissatisfied with the Divine Emperor's arrangement.
However, the Divine Emperor's prestige was too great, so they didn't dare to disobey.
During these three years, more than 1,000 days and nights, Wang Lin never stopped cultivating. The Rosefinch Holy Emperor continued to pour his origin energy into Wang Lin's body, and the stone they were on was extremely hot.
As a result, Wang Lin's cultivation grew more and more refined.
The injuries to his origin spirit had already completely healed, and the fire seed inside seemed to be on the verge of melting as the fire continued to pour into it. It gave off a tremendous power that filled Wang Lin's body.
On his right arm, seven fire totems were faintly discernible.
The circulation of this tremendous power was the source of the thunderous sounds coming from Wang Lin's body.
As he continued to absorb it, the fire origin energy in Wang Lin's body reached its limit. He felt like he was about to explode.
A tearing sensation suddenly filled Wang Lin's body. At that moment, Wang Lin's eyes snapped open. He formed a seal with his hands and tapped his body several times. Every time his fingers touched down, the tremendous origin energy in his body would dissipate a little.
After tapping his body seven times, the origin energy that was about to explode in Wang Lin's body immediately dissipated. The stabbing pain in his body disappeared as well. However, Wang Lin's clothes were drenched in sweat, which rose into the air as white steam.
"This is the eighth time …" Wang Lin exhaled and slowly said.
Over the past three years, Wang Lin had experienced something like this eight times. Every time, his origin energy would reach its limit and his body would be on the verge of exploding. He would rapidly compress the fire origin energy in his body so that his body could withstand even more origin energy.
The first four times were all done by the Rosefinch Divine Emperor to suppress the origin energy in Wang Lin's body. The remaining times were done by Wang Lin himself.
The moment the origin energy in Wang Lin's body was suppressed, another fire tattoo appeared next to the seven on his right arm.
Eight tattoos circled around his arm. Only one more was needed to form a complete circle.
"The first transformation of the Nine Mysterious Transformations contains the essence of your nine lives of cultivation. It requires you to constantly absorb the power of fire and suppress it into nine fire tattoos. These nine fire tattoos represent your nine lives of cultivation. Then you must erupt and borrow the power of your nine lives to cover the sky. Then you must absorb all of it and seal it into the first transformation of the Nine Mysterious Transformations!
"The word transformation isn't about changing, but becoming stronger. It will allow you to erupt with power during the first transformation. Only then will the Old Man feel at ease allowing you to become the Divine Emperor and go to the Cultivation Alliance." The Rosefinch Divine Emperor's ancient voice came from behind Wang Lin.
"However, the Old Man doesn't have much time left. In the past few days, he has felt death looming over him many times. Right now, I need you to speed up the absorption of your ninth life's origin energy. This process will be very painful, but you must endure it. Do you agree?"
Wang Lin silently pondered. After a long time, he nodded and his eyes were filled with determination.
"Good!"
The admiration in the Rosefinch Divine Emperor's eyes became even stronger, but there was also a hint of regret. He softly said, "If the Old Man's avatar had given you the Rosefinch mark and you had awakened a bit earlier … Ah."
The Rosefinch Divine Emperor shook his head and didn't say more. He took a deep breath and hit the stone below him. With a bang, his body flew into the air and landed upside down on top of Wang Lin's head. His hands formed a seal and began to move.
In an instant, the fire origin energy inside the Rosefinch Divine Emperor's body rushed into Wang Lin's body like crazy. The white stone below Wang Lin also gave off a hot aura and turned into strands of fire origin energy that entered Wang Lin's body.
As a result, the origin energy in Wang Lin's body increased at an unbelievable rate. However, the pain brought about by this forceful influx of origin energy was not something an ordinary person could endure.
Even Wang Lin's body immediately gave off a dense white aura. This white aura was formed from his sweat!
As the origin energy entered his body, the pain of being torn apart caused Wang Lin's face to immediately twist. Growls came from his mouth. At this moment, he felt like he was struggling in the raging waves of the ocean.
As time passed, Wang Lin's growls became louder and louder. In the end, it was almost like he was roaring. His veins bulged as if they were about to explode. The origin energy in his body increased by leaps and bounds, becoming more and more turbulent. Rumbling sounds came from his body and fused with his roars, spreading out in all directions.
At this moment, everyone in the burning starfield could hear this painful roar.
Wang Lin couldn't escape from this pain, nor could he cut off the connection to the pain. He had to focus on circulating the large amount of origin energy in his body. Otherwise, his body would immediately explode.
The Rosefinch Divine Emperor had no choice but to do this. In the past month, he had truly felt death, and he knew that he only had three months left to live.
After three months, the third Heaven's Blight would erupt again, and he would die without a doubt!
This intense pain caused Wang Lin's roar to shake the heavens and earth. On the seventh day, the origin energy in Wang Lin's body reached its peak once again. The Rosefinch Divine Emperor above his head became even older and fell behind Wang Lin.
"Death is nothing!" The Rosefinch Divine Emperor's face was ashen, but his eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at Wang Lin.
He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of dying with regrets!
He was afraid that after he died, the Rosefinch Sect would have no successor. He was afraid that the Rosefinch Sect would perish!
He was ashamed to face his ancestor, ashamed to face the entire Rosefinch Sect!
"I must succeed!" At this moment, Wang Lin was all his hope, and he could smile in the underworld!
As Wang Lin roared, his origin energy erupted like crazy. Thunderous rumbles echoed inside his body. The unimaginable pain caused Wang Lin to raise his right hand and point at his chest to seal his origin energy.
The Rosefinch Divine Emperor's eyes were filled with disappointment, but he didn't stop Wang Lin. He knew that very few people could endure this kind of pain to break through to the first transformation of the Nine Profound Transformations. Although doing this would reduce the time and increase the chances of success.
"Perhaps my requirements for him are a bit high … After all, he is only a child that has cultivated for 1,000 years … If I want to blame something, I can only blame myself for not having much time left …" The Rosefinch Divine Emperor's expression was weak. He let out a sigh and closed his eyes.
However, just as he closed his eyes, Wang Lin's right hand, which was about to seal his origin energy, suddenly stopped.
His eyes were filled with determination, as well as a sense of unwavering determination.
"Eighth fire totem, open!" Wang Lin struggled to raise his head and let out a roar!
Immediately, the eighth fire totem on his right arm shot up into the sky. It was like a flower of fire had bloomed in the burning starfield.
Wang Lin's body leaped into the air and let out a heaven-shaking roar. The blooming flower of fire shot toward Wang Lin like a tornado and entered his body. It also affected all the flames in the starfield.
At this moment, the burning starfield where the Rosefinch Divine Sect was located was boiling!
At this moment, all the living beings in the starfield were shaken and looked up … "Nine Profound Transformations, First Transformation!!"
Many of the old men in the Rosefinch Divine Sect were filled with excitement that was no less than when they had learned that Rosefinch had awakened!
Rosefinch's awakening didn't necessarily mean that he would be the Divine Emperor, but the first transformation of the Nine Profound Transformations meant that he would be the Divine Emperor!
It was a symbol of the succession of two generations of Divine Emperors!
