As the white-haired boy's voice echoed in the gloomy palace, a storm was set off. As the storm echoed, the fog around the planet surged violently and let out a thunderous rumble.
"Master, I, Daoist Water, followed you to battle the world and almost died many times. You didn't save my life in vain!
The grudge between us is over. Although I took over the God Sect after you died, since you are dead, the God Sect naturally needs a new master!
I, Daoist Water, have done nothing wrong in this matter.
However … Are you dead or not!? "
As the boy muttered to himself, his expression suddenly became ferocious. He looked at the void outside the palace and his expression became even more gloomy.
"You should have died. Under the joint attack of me, the Sovereign, and Dao Master Miao Yin, there was no way you could have survived. There were also several mysterious cultivators from the Ancient Celestial Realm secretly attacking. Even if your cultivation was heaven-shaking, you would have without a doubt died!
"However, why did I feel a trace of your aura a few months ago!?
"Could it be that you didn't die back then but reincarnated?!"
The white-haired boy's expression became even more ferocious and monstrous killing intent appeared in his eyes.
"If you had reincarnated, there was no way those Ancient Celestial Realm cultivators that searched your soul wouldn't have noticed … However, I can't be wrong about your aura a few months ago!"
Thinking about the aura from a few months ago, the white-haired boy's heart trembled. It was because of that aura that he felt like the sky was collapsing over the past few months. He even activated the God Sect at all costs to investigate like crazy. After connecting to the Brilliant Void Saintess' jade, even though he coveted the Brilliant Void Inheritance, he didn't personally go and instead sent a disciple to receive her.
He had cultivated for countless years, and this was the first time he had felt this kind of fear since his master died. This feeling made him recall everything that had happened before his master died.
Before his master died, this feeling of fear had always existed. Only when his master died did he heave a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, the fear from several months ago had clearly returned, causing his heart to palpitate with fear.
After a moment of silence, the white-haired boy gritted his teeth. Killing intent surged in his eyes as he muttered coldly, "Even if you've really reincarnated, I'll kill you again!
Also, those cultivators from the Ancient Celestial Realms were searching for the Heaven Defying Bead, but they couldn't find it. Master, if you're not a reincarnated cultivator, then the Heaven Defying Bead has reappeared. You're hiding inside the Heaven Defying Bead. I don't dare to touch the Heaven Defying Bead, but I can still force your soul out! "
The white-haired boy's eyes flashed and he slowly sat down cross-legged again. After pondering for a long time, he closed his eyes.
"Lv Zihao, you didn't reveal anything that made the Old Man suspicious except for one thing!
Hold Technique!
In this world, only Master, Qing Lin, and the Old Man possess this technique. The laughable thing is that Qing Lin thought it was a technique he'd obtained by chance all those years ago, and he didn't pay too much attention to it. He hasn't followed Master for as long as I have, so he doesn't know that the might of this technique is sufficient to shake the heavens and the earth, and it's an Immortal Technique from the Ancient Era that Master brought with him from the Ancient Era!
"Body Stop, Soul Stop, Immortal Stop, Essence Stop, Heaven and Earth Stop, Star River Stop, Time Stop, and Space Stop. After Master died, no one knew more about this Stop Art than I did!"
"Now that you are in the Everlasting Sect, I'll let you live for a bit longer. Once I refine the nine-faced Eternal Reincarnation Mirror and set up the reincarnation formation, I won't let you escape this time, no matter if Master cultivates again or hides inside the heaven defying bead!" The white-haired boy opened his eyes and there was a flash of coldness.
He was extremely cautious about this trip. What made him cautious wasn't Wang Lin, but rather, his master!
Therefore, he wouldn't act rashly, but he needed to be fully prepared.
Inside the Everlasting Sect, on top of Mount Lu Su, Wang Lin sat in the pavilion and put down the teacup in his hand. The ancient god aura flowed through his feet and into his body, gathering between his eyebrows.
The Everlasting Sect's sect master and high elder were chatting with Wang Lin. They were trying to find out where Wang Lin had learned this technique from. If this was before, Wang Lin would have ignored them and just brushed them off.
But right now, the other party had agreed to give him the Extreme Yin Soul, and more importantly, Wang Lin was absorbing the ancient god aura of Mount Lu Su. As he continued to absorb, the changes here would become even more intense. In order to distract the two, Wang Lin's expression was calm as he chatted with them with a smile.
Most of their conversation was filled with fog, but there was some truth to it.
"The dao of heaven and earth comes from the heart. With dao in the heart, one can naturally transform into anything. One can even use these things to fuse with the dao and transform them into their own techniques …"
Just as Wang Lin was speaking, two rays of light came from outside the pavilion and landed outside. They turned into two middle-aged men wearing Daoist robes. The two respectfully stood outside the door. One of them clasped his hands and said, "Disciple has brought the Extreme Yin Soul. Please have a look, Sect Master."
Wang Lin's expression was calm. He didn't even look outside the pavilion and continued to speak. After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, he finished speaking and looked outside the pavilion.
The Everlasting Sect's sect master had been paying attention to Wang Lin's words. After listening, he revealed a bitter smile. He understood that Wang Lin hadn't said anything, but he had said something else. In short, it was very strange.
Seeing that Wang Lin was looking outside the pavilion, the sect master coughed and said, "Bring it to Fellow Lu."
The two people standing outside the pavilion respectfully nodded and walked into the pavilion. They stopped before Wang Lin and respectfully took out six small flags.
Wang Lin took them and scanned them with his divine sense. He immediately found that there was an extremely pure Extreme Yin Soul inside each flag!
While laughing, Wang Lin stood up and clasped his hands toward the Everlasting Sect's sect master and high elder. He smiled and said, "Thank you both, I can't thank you enough!"
The Everlasting Sect's sect master stood up and smiled. "Fellow Lu is too polite. In five days, there will be a rank 8 sect competition. I hope Fellow Lu will go all out and help the Everlasting Sect win!"
The high elder also stood up and clasped his hands with a smile.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best!
Now that I've been away from the Origin Sect for 100 years, I won't disturb you anymore. I'll return to the Origin Sect to catch up with the juniors. "
The Everlasting Sect's sect master's smile became even wider. "Brother Lu is also a person who loves his disciples. Forget it, the Old Man won't stay any longer. Sun De, lead the way for Fellow Lu to the Origin Sect!"
One of the two Boundless Sect disciples who had delivered the Extreme Yin Soul hurriedly nodded respectfully.
"Goodbye!"
Wang Lin clasped his hands toward the Everlasting Sect's sect master and high elder. He turned into a ray of light and flew out of the pavilion. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in the sky and let out a sigh of relief.
He had already felt that the Ancient God aura in the mountain was getting stronger, and there were signs that it was going to stir up the world. If he was still in the mountain, it would only take a few breaths for the changes in the mountain to be clearly noticed by others.
Therefore, he had to leave as soon as possible!
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the sixth star hidden between Wang Lin's eyebrows had reappeared and turned into a weak whirlpool. Although it hadn't completely recovered, it was much stronger than before!
"What a pity … But as long as no one notices, there will be many opportunities to absorb the ancient god aura here!
Even the sword refined by the Star Point will fall into my hands! "
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he focused his mind and flew into the sky under the guidance of the Everlasting Sect disciple.
After he left, the ancient god aura inside the mountain gradually weakened and fell back into slumber.
From beginning to end, Wang Lin had been very cautious in absorbing, so he didn't attract too much attention. At most, some people would feel that the origin energy inside and outside the mountain was a bit different, but they didn't reveal anything.
After Wang Lin left, the Everlasting Sect's sect master's smile disappeared and he said, "This person is not ordinary!
The moment he arrived, he caused some changes to the origin energy here. "
The Grand Elder beside him nodded and calmly said, "No matter what, since he is a member of the Gui Yuan Sect, he is also a member of our Everlasting Sect. It is best not to suppress such a person too much.
It is a great event for our Everlasting Sect that he can participate in the rank 8 sect competition! "
The Everlasting Sect's sect master pondered a bit before waving his sleeves. His divine sense spread across the entire mountain.
"Gather all the high elders, we need to discuss this matter!"
Under the guidance of the Everlasting Sect disciple, Wang Lin broke through space and returned to the other planet that was sealed by a restriction.
The Everlasting Sect disciple was very respectful along the way. Although he said he was leading the way, he was actually half a step behind and didn't dare to pass Wang Lin.
After entering the sealed planet, the Everlasting Sect disciple immediately took out a jade. After sending a message, he found out where the Origin Sect was and led the way.
Shortly after, the two of them arrived at the courtyard of the Origin Sect. The Everlasting Sect disciple clasped his hands at Wang Lin and respectfully said, "Senior, this is the residence of the Origin Sect. If you have no instructions, Junior will take his leave."
Wang Lin nodded. The Everlasting Sect disciple bowed and flew off into the distance.
At this moment, only Wang Lin remained in the sky. He naturally saw Mu Bingmei in the distance and Li Qianmei in the courtyard.
Li Qianmei stood in the courtyard as the moonlight fell on her body. It was as if she was wearing a layer of silver veil. Her beautiful face looked especially calm under the moonlight.
Li Qianmei raised her head and looked at Wang Lin in the sky. She revealed a smile that could make one's heart pound.
"You're back …"
"... You're back."
Wang Lin landed in the courtyard and stood a few dozen feet away from Li Qianmei. After pondering a bit, he softly said this.
The moonlight also fell on Wang Lin's body and elongated his shadow. It seemed to overlap with Li Qianmei's shadow, but they soon separated.
The surroundings were completely silent, with only the gentle wind blowing by, causing the flowers and plants in the courtyard to rustle. However, Wang Lin and Li Qianmei were both silent under the moonlight.
