The void outside the temple was completely dark, and muffled sounds echoed in the distance. When one got closer, one could see some broken Rain Celestial Realm stones floating in the void, as if they had no home.
In truth, they indeed had no home, so they could only silently float in the void for eternity.
Inside the formation, Qing Lin opened his eyes, revealing the vicissitudes of time. The Celestial Emperor of the past looked like an old man, even though … he was middle-aged.
However, the moment he awakened, there was a strong smell of decay coming from his body.
Qing Shuang woke up as well. She looked at the wound on her right arm and frowned.
She moved her body as if she had been asleep for far too long and wasn't used to the existence of her body.
Wang Wei and Hu Juan's faces were pale, but they also opened their eyes. Wang Wei's eyes were filled with excitement as he knelt down and respectfully looked at Qing Lin while trembling.
"Mas … Teacher … You …"
Hu Juan also nervously looked at Qing Lin, who had just sat up, and bit her lower lip.
Qing Lin faintly smiled as he carefully looked at his beloved disciple and softly said, "It has been hard on you all these years …"
"Teacher!!"
Wang Wei's body trembled violently and two streams of tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. He had waited for countless years for his teacher to awaken. For this, he had lived in the Demon Spirit Land for many years.
All of this was because Celestial Emperor Qing Lin had accepted him as a disciple!
Wang Wei could never forget that back in the Celestial Realm, he was just an unknown little cultivator. It was his teacher who gave him a new life, gave him the cultivation to reach the peak, and also gave him a lifetime of happiness.
At this moment, Zhou Yi also opened his eyes and looked at Qing Shuang beside him. Although there was bitterness and sadness in his heart, there was even more calmness.
"Senior Qing Lin, Junior has a request." Wang Lin withdrew his gaze from the void and looked at Qing Lin.
"Are you here as a junior or as the Old Man's disciple?" Qing Lin's calm gaze fell on Wang Lin.
"... Master, this person is disciple's close friend. He has an immortal poison in his body …" Wang Lin was silent for a moment, then he pointed at Situ Nan, who had been paying attention to the situation, and spoke respectfully.
Qing Lin's expression was normal. He glanced at Si Tu Nan and said slowly, "What amazing talent. Are you willing to become the apprentice of the Old Man?"
Even though Si Tu Nan was arrogant, when facing Qing Lin, he didn't have the same calmness as Wang Lin. After all, he didn't participate in the entire process of saving Qing Lin. His heart was filled with awe and respect. Hearing this, he hesitated and said, "This … disciple greets Master …"
At this point, Si Tu Nan raised his head and said, "But Master, I … I like to do whatever I want. You cannot restrict my freedom."
This last sentence caused Qing Lin to laugh and say, "After you get detoxified, you can do whatever you want. Why would the Old Man restrict your freedom?"
After he finished speaking, Qing Lin shook his head, but his expression was very kind. He stood up, put his right hand on his daughter Qing Shuang's shoulder, and softly said, "Qing Shuang, let me borrow your celestial spiritual energy."
As he spoke, a powerful suction force came from Qing Lin's right hand. Suddenly, the celestial spiritual energy in Qing Shuang's body moved and entered Qing Lin's right hand.
This celestial spiritual energy wasn't much, only a sliver. It was so little that even the small amount of celestial spiritual energy in Wang Lin's body was countless times more than this sliver. However, this sliver of celestial spiritual energy turned into a blinding, golden light in Qing Lin's right hand.
Although this light wasn't 100,000 feet wide, it instantly shrouded the entire hall. In the blink of an eye, the hall was no longer green but golden like the sun.
Qing Lin's expression was calm as he slowly walked forward. He stepped out of the hall and floated in the void. He looked at the rocks floating by in the distance. He looked at the home that was once a celestial realm in his memory. His eyes were filled with sorrow and bitterness.
At this moment, a majority of the Celestial Realm had collapsed. Even the fragments that hadn't completely collapsed were in the process of collapsing.
It seemed like it wouldn't be long before the Rain Celestial Realm would disappear and become an existence in the memories of cultivators. If tens of thousands of years passed, even this memory would fade until it was completely forgotten …
With a soft sigh, Qing Lin waved the golden light in his right hand. Immediately, the golden light floated into the sky. It was like a real sun that enveloped the entire void, illuminating everything!
Golden lines slowly appeared out of nowhere within the golden light. These golden lines intersected with each other, forming a net that rapidly spread out in all directions. All the laws in the world were condensed within the golden lines. The golden light contained a life force that could nourish all living things.
As the golden light and golden lines spread out, the entire Rain Celestial Realm was shrouded by them. The collapsing fragments trembled and stopped collapsing. The floating rocks also stopped moving at this moment.
In that instant, the vortexes that had been formed from the collapse stopped spinning, as if they were eternally motionless.
"Recondense the Celestial Realm!"
Qing Lin's voice was very low, but it was clearly heard by the people walking out of the hall. Wang Wei and Hu Juan trembled and looked at Qing Lin with reverence in their eyes.
Qing Shuang looked at her father's back without any expression. For as long as she could remember, her father was like the pillar that supported the Celestial Realm. He didn't have time to play with her when she was young. Instead, he was busy with the matters of the Celestial Realm and cultivating.
The day the Celestial Realm collapsed was still fresh in Qing Shuang's mind. She knew that the Celestial Realm was her father's blood, sweat, and tears. However, when she personally saw the Celestial Realm collapse, not only did Qing Lin not feel sadness, she felt a trace of relief.
This feeling was very complicated, and even she didn't know how to describe it. However, seeing her father recondense the Celestial Realm, Qing Shuang felt a trace of pain in her heart.
Zhou Yi silently looked at Qing Shuang. When he saw the pain on Qing Shuang's face, his heart trembled.
As Qing Lin spoke, the net formed by the golden lines suddenly shrank after it covered the entire Celestial Realm. At the same time, the golden light surrounded the net and the vortexes in the Rain Celestial Realm silently dissipated.
The broken rocks seemed to be attracted by the power of Heaven and Earth. They gathered together and approached the few fragments. Gradually, they formed a new fragment continent in the void!
The entire Rain Immortal World was empty except for this fragment that was emitting waves of dense celestial energy. Outside this fragment, there was a web of golden threads that slowly spread out on the ground. As the golden light fell, grass appeared on the barren land and streams of water appeared out of nowhere.
Under the rumbling sounds, tall mountains rose into the sky, and majestic palaces appeared one after another.
The Rain Celestial Realm Temple behind Wang Lin slowly floated forward and landed at the center of the fragment.
"From now on, this is the new Rain Celestial Realm!" Qing Lin's voice was calm as it echoed across the world.
Wang Lin sat on top of a mountain in the new Rain Celestial Realm and felt the celestial spiritual energy around him. The power of the golden light from Qing Lin's right hand echoed in his mind. He clearly felt the change of law and source energy from the golden light.
It had been three days since the birth of the new Rain Celestial Realm. Situ Nan was brought into the temple by Qing Lin. Wang Wei and Hu Juan chose a palace to quietly live in. Wang Wei's expression showed that he was very happy.
His happiness was Hu Juan's happiness. This couple had a happiness that made Wang Lin envious.
Thinking about the word happiness, Wang Lin turned around and looked into the distance. Before him was a mountain of ice surrounded by celestial clouds. Qing Shuang was on top of this ice mountain.
Qing Shuang's personality was extremely cold. She didn't even talk much to her father. She would only talk a bit more to Hu Juan.
After the new Rain Celestial Realm was formed, Qing Shuang used her spell to turn into an ice mountain and silently lived on top of it. She didn't welcome anyone to go up.
However, Wang Lin clearly saw Zhou Yi quietly sitting under the ice mountain. He was still looking up at the blurry figure on top of the ice mountain as if he was protecting it, just like how he protected the corpse 2,000 years ago.
"Qing Shuang's awakening might not be a blessing for Big Brother Zhou …" Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and looked at the blue sky. There were no spatial cracks in the new Rain Celestial Realm and it was extremely stable.
Behind him, the silver female corpse silently sat there. Her gaze would occasionally fall on Wang Lin but would quickly move away.
During the three days that Wang Lin had been sitting here, aside from thinking about Qing Lin's golden law, he had been constantly remembering what he had comprehended in Qing Lin's sea of consciousness.
After he left the sea of consciousness, his cultivation didn't soar to the heavens. He was still at the early stage of Nirvana Cleanser, but there was a seed for the third step in his body. A seed for law, for dao, and for the pursuit of dao.
This was the great fortune that Qing Lin had given him.
Back when the Heaven Defying Bead first opened, Wang Lin had seen the third step before the Heaven Defying Bead, but he had only seen it … Now Qing Lin's great fortune allowed him to feel the spell of the third step. This was extremely precious to Wang Lin, and it made his direction even clearer.
As he continued to comprehend, an exhausted voice slowly echoed in his mind.
"Wang Lin, come see me."
Wang Lin looked up at the temple in the Rain Celestial Realm. He got up and calmly walked toward the temple. It didn't take long for him to close in and enter.
Just as he entered the temple, Wang Lin couldn't help but stop for a moment. Before him sat an old man who looked similar to Qing Lin. After taking a closer look, it was clearly Celestial Emperor Qing Lin.
However, for some unknown reason, his face had aged a lot.
Qing Lin slowly said, "Sit."
Wang Lin sat down in the lotus position across from Qing Lin with a calm expression.
He was going to explode today!
