Wang Lin didn't know any of this … At this moment, he stepped into the door to the heavens inside the Heaven Defying Bead. With one step, it was as if he had stepped into another world!
This place was an endless starry sky. There was no fog in this starry sky, only resplendent nebulae that were extremely beautiful.
This starry sky was very quiet, very quiet … Similarly, it was also very unfamiliar to Wang Lin.
"You are the third person … to step into this door …" The murmur slowly echoed in this silent starry sky. The moment it appeared, endless starlight erupted from the stars and gathered before Wang Lin to form a giant vortex of starlight.
"Come in … My third fated person …"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. After pondering for a bit, he stepped into the vortex. The moment he entered, his entire soul dissipated. When he reappeared, what appeared before Wang Lin was a blue sky and black earth!
This was a planet inside the door to the heavens. The earth was black, but there was grass everywhere. When the wind blew, the grass rustled.
The sky was blue without any clouds. It was as if the sea was hanging upside down.
Before him was a giant tree that reached the heavens. This tree was as tall as the sky, and there was a green light coming from it. However, it couldn't hide the damage and cracks on the tree.
This giant tree seemed to have lost all vitality and was slowly dying as it struggled.
Wang Lin looked at the giant tree before him and sucked in a breath of cold air.
The murmur came from the giant tree and echoed across the world. "This is the transformation of my life Nirvana Tribulation treasure. Only by doing this can I survive until now …"
Wang Lin was shocked as he looked at the giant tree. This tree was large enough to compete with an ancient god.
"I came from the Ancient Celestial Realm, and I've forgotten my name. After I descended, people called me the Lord of the Sealed Realm or the Lord of the Sealed Realm … Before you, there were two other people who entered. I don't know their names, but since they were able to enter, they were fated with me. I gave the first person a peerless dao spell and my comprehension of the world … The second person I gave him half a body of law, allowing his talent to be heaven-shaking!
"You are the third cultivator to enter. What do you want …"
Wang Lin silently pondered. After a long time, he looked at the giant tree and slowly said, "Daoist Water, were you the one who forced him to retreat?"
"If you didn't find my jade pendant that vanished all those years ago, then I wouldn't be able to help you. But since you've found the jade pendant, then I'll be able to utilize some of my remaining strength through the jade pendant … That Dao Slave betrayed me all those years ago, and I gave him three chances to survive.
Wang Lin suppressed the shock in his heart and calmly asked, "Why are you helping me?"
Wang Lin's words caused the giant tree to silently ponder. After a long time, an ancient murmur echoed.
"A long time ago, there was no distinction between the Inner and Outer Realms in the Ancient Star System. In this boundless star system, there was a holy land called the Ancient Celestial Realm. The Ancient Celestial Realm ruled this star system and taught all living beings. Once they reached a certain level and opened their own star system, they could ascend to the Ancient Celestial Realm and become a citizen of the Ancient Celestial Realm … Everything was going according to plan, but due to a treasure from the Outer Realm, a drastic change occurred!
"This upheaval caused the Ancient Celestial Realm to split into two parts that eventually dissipated and went into hiding. It also sealed the path to ascension … As a result, the Ancient Star System was also split into two. The Inner and Outer Realms appeared, and there was also the Realm Heart Formation. In the Outer Realm, the Ancient Celestial Realm that split off became the holy land of the Outer Realm … And in the Inner Realm, there was another part of the Ancient Celestial Realm. I came from there …"
When Wang Lin heard the ancient voice, a shocking wave was set off in his heart. This kind of secret was extremely rare, and he had never thought that the Inner and Outer Realms would have such a connection!
The split of the Ancient Celestial Realm caused the Ancient Star System to split into the Outer Realm and Outer Realm!
"During that upheaval, the Ancient Celestial Realm suffered heavy casualties and countless people fell. Even the Ancient Celestial Emperor, who had existed since the beginning of the world, was seriously injured by that treasure and went into closed door cultivation." However, the people that split off from the Ancient Celestial Realm were constantly eyeing the Inner Realm under the leadership of the nine celestial imperial concubines. What they wanted was that treasure and the path to the Inner Realm's Ancient Celestial Realm!
"As a Dao Celestial of the Inner Realm's Ancient Celestial Realm, I descended to command all living beings in the Inner Realm to resist the invasion of the Outer Realm and fight them!
"However, before I could finish, I was ambushed by the Dao Slaves and was seriously injured by the people of the Outer Realm and several people from the Ancient Celestial Realm. In the end, the celestial imperial concubine destroyed my body, forcing me to enter the Heaven Defying Bead and survive as a treasure spirit …"
Wang Lin was shocked and quickly asked, "What is the Heaven Defying Bead?"
"The treasure that caused the upheaval in the Ancient Celestial Realm to split off was the Heaven Defying Bead. However, the real Heaven Defying Bead was a compass with nine heavenly treasures on it. When we obtained the Heaven Defying Bead, there were only three treasures on it. The Heaven Defying Bead was placed at the center, and after the split, the Inner Realm's Ancient Celestial Realm obtained two. As a Dao Celestial, I had to lead the Inner Realm and Outer Realm in battle, so the Celestial Emperor gave me the Heaven Defying Bead …" However, I wasn't the first owner of the Heaven Defying Bead. After countless years of research, I learned that there were two other owners before me. Each of them was far stronger than me … They were all cultivators from the Outer Realm!
"I also deduced that the Heaven Defying Bead was the most important thing on the compass!
Unfortunately, the Celestial Emperor was in closed door cultivation and didn't know everything. Otherwise, with his research, he would have been able to break the final secret of the Heaven Defying Bead and find the Immemorial God Realm! "
"Immemorial God Realm?"
Wang Lin obtained more and more shocking secrets, and each one was enough to shock him. He had just heard about the origin of the Ancient Celestial Realm and the Heaven Defying Bead, and now he heard about the Immemorial God Realm!
"The Immemorial God Realm should exist … I don't know much about this … Now that my vitality is gone, I should have died a long time ago, but my mission hasn't been completed. The Celestial Emperor hasn't come out of closed door cultivation and the Ancient Celestial Realm is still sealed. I can't let anyone from the Outer Realm disturb me, or else the consequences will be unimaginable!
"The two people that entered before didn't become the next owner of the Heaven Defying Bead, they were only my pawns." However, you are different. You have fused the Heaven Defying Bead with your origin soul and become the owner of the Heaven Defying Bead. That's why I want to help you. I want you to become the Lord of the Sealed Realm. I want you to protect the Sealed Realm for me and resist the invasion of the Outer Realm until the Celestial Emperor awakens from closed door cultivation and until the seal on the Ancient Celestial Realm is opened!
"After I help you, the Heaven Defying Bead will disappear completely. When you find the jade and fuse it with the Nirvana Calamity treasure, the Realm Heart Formation will become even stronger and give you time to grow!
If you can do this, then when the Celestial Emperor awakens and hand over the Heaven Defying Bead, the Celestial Emperor will reward you greatly. You will be able to fulfill all your wishes. Even the woman you put in the Heaven Avoiding Coffin can be reborn and awaken! "
Wang Lin suddenly raised his head. He stared at the giant tree and silently pondered.
"This person has definitely been observing me for a very long time over the years and knows everything about me. He even knows about my desire for Wan 'er's resurrection. He's using this to make me submit to that so-called Immortal Emperor!
"He wants me to hand over the Heaven Defying Bead after the Celestial Emperor awakens. Once I obey, I will be completely controlled by the Celestial Emperor. If he is happy, he can resurrect Wan Er, and if he is unhappy, he can kill us. How could I do such a thing!?
"However, if I want to leave, I must agree to this person's request. This person has no ill intent toward me, but he is extremely old-fashioned. Ever since Daoist Water betrayed him, he has been stubborn and has missed the opportunity to kill the betrayer due to the three promises he made before. This is why he has stayed until now!"
Wang Lin silently pondered for a bit and slowly said, "What can you give me?"
Just as he finished speaking, the giant tree trembled and gave off a heaven-shaking pressure. This pressure turned into a storm and charged at Wang Lin. It instantly shrouded Wang Lin and pulled Wang Lin back into the giant tree.
"I've studied the Heaven Defying Bead for many years, and there are too many secrets within it. I can't see through them all, but I can extract the power of the stars from outside the Primeval Realm and leave it in your soul. Although it won't allow you to reach the heavens in one step, it will allow you to enter the Dao Realm. From there, you can gain enlightenment of the heavenly dao. How much good fortune you can obtain will depend on yourself!" The ancient voice echoed, shaking the world and gradually dissipating.
Time flowed by, and the wheel of time was opened. Unknowingly, spring passed and autumn arrived. The sun and moon alternated, and another two years had passed.
On the wild continent in the rank 2 region of the Cloud Sea, Li Qianmei accompanied the stone statue that Wang Lin had turned into. They quickly but slowly passed through six life rings.
Six years was slow for mortals, but 10 years could pass in the blink of an eye. It could be said that six years was not a long time, but it was not a short time.
To a cultivator, six years was like the snap of a finger; they could be reduced to ashes in a puff of smoke. However, during those six years, Li Qianmei had spent her days smearing the stone statue with her blood. Six years was like six hundred years …. Her face was still beautiful, but it was filled with sickness. She was emaciated, but her eyes were still filled with determination and obsession.
Right now, she only had less than four hours of rest each day. During these four hours, she cultivated wholeheartedly to recover some vitality and continue to paint the stone statue.
Her haggard appearance was like a withered flower, but it made everyone who saw it feel sad.
To be honest, today was not a good time to explode, because the many times before had drained her brain. She had the plot in her mind, but she didn't know how to say it.
Alas, if she said it, her brain would explode no matter what. At most, she would drink a few more stimulant drinks and smoke a few more cigarettes. I'm writing the third chapter!
