Wang Lin's expression was uncertain. The news of the country lock formation being broken was extremely bad for him. Once those fire beasts rushed over, they would definitely lock onto him.
Thinking about the scene of the overwhelming fire beasts chasing after him, Wang Lin's scalp tingled. He immediately made up his mind to get the map as soon as possible. As for the Distant Heaven Pill, it seemed like he wouldn't have time to wait until the end of the month to obtain it.
Thinking of this, Wang Lin frowned. The map was in Feng Luan's hands, and he didn't have enough time to go out and kill people to accumulate 150. After pondering for a while, Wang Lin's eyes flashed and he made up his mind.
His divine sense moved and Yang Xiong and Lin Tao's positions immediately appeared in his mind. He quietly took a few steps back and quickly flew towards Yang Xiong's position.
As a patrolling disciple of the War God Temple, Yang Xiong didn't dare to relax for even a moment. He vigilantly patrolled around, but his eyes would occasionally glance at the top of the mountain. When the broken Nascent Soul flew past him, Yang Xiong had a premonition that something big was about to happen.
Suppressing the heavy feeling in his heart, Yang Xiong sighed inwardly. Just as he was about to patrol in the northwest direction, his mind suddenly shook. He changed his direction and flew towards the distant jungle in the north. After entering the jungle, he looked around and respectfully said, "Yang Xiong greets Master."
Wang Lin came out from behind a tree and looked at Yang Xiong, asking, "Where is Zhou Zihong?"
Although Yang Xiong was puzzled, he didn't ask. Instead, he pondered for a while and said, "I remember that Junior Sister Zhou should be in the fourth squad of the third brigade, but I don't remember the specifics."
Wang Lin looked at Yang Xiong and said, "I have returned Zhou Zihong's soul blood."
Yang Xiong's body trembled and his breathing became rapid, but he quickly suppressed it and returned to normal. He looked up at Wang Lin and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he lightly said, "If you can make Zhou Zihong come here, I will return the soul blood to you."
Yang Xiong's eyes were bloodshot and his breathing became rapid. After a long time, he whispered, "Master, are you serious?"
Wang Lin frowned, but he still nodded.
Yang Xiong took out a jade slip and placed it on his forehead. He didn't know what to say. The jade slip flashed a few times before it was thrown out and turned into a grey light.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the sound of a flying sword could be heard from the distance. A beautiful woman with red lips and white teeth landed. It was Zhou Zihong.
She put away the flying sword and frowned. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed Wang Lin next to Yang Xiong and her face immediately became pale.
Wang Lin waved his right hand and threw out Yang Xiong's soul blood. After Yang Xiong caught it, he revealed a look of shame. He didn't dare to look at Zhou Zihong as he lowered his head and quickly left the forest.
Zhou Zihong's face was pale and she bit her red lips. After a long time, she took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Progenitor Feng Luan … is my mother. When she saw me, she immediately noticed something was wrong, so …"
Zhou Zihong shook his head and sighed, "This matter is over, don't mention it again. Zhou Zihong, I want to ask you for a favor."
Zhou Zihong was startled. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Is it a map?"
Wang Lin nodded, "My hometown is very far away. Without a map, I won't be able to find it."
Zhou Zihong looked at Wang Lin with a complicated expression and suddenly said, "Help me kill two people.
"What cultivation level?" Wang Lin raised his eyebrows.
"One is mid and one is peak late." Zhou Zihong's eyes were cold. "Okay!" Wang Lin nodded without hesitation.
"You also know these two people. One is Ma Liang's childhood sweetheart, Xu Si, and the other is Zhou An, who is fooling around with her. You don't need to kill them now. It won't be too late to kill them after you leave. As for the map, I'll bring it to you in two hours." Zhou Zihong looked deeply at Wang Lin, turned around, and flew away on her sword.
"Ma Liang, this is the last thing I'll do for you …" Zhou Zihong's face was filled with melancholy as she slowly flew away.
Wang Lin looked at Zhou Zihong's back and spread out his divine sense. He immediately found Xu Si's location. He left a trace of his divine sense on Xu Si that day, so it was very easy to find her.
After finding Xu Si's location, Wang Lin immediately drilled into the ground.
After two hours, Wang Lin returned to his original spot and sat cross-legged, waiting for Zhou Zihong.
A strange expression flashed across his face. When he found Xu Si in a remote corner of the back mountain, she was having sex with Zhou An. Her breasts rippled like waves and the sound of her moaning echoed in the air.
The two white bodies continued to collide with each other, creating a series of popping sounds.
Wang Lin watched for a while and secretly left a trace of his divine sense on Zhou An that would flare up in half a month.
After waiting in the forest for a while, Zhou Zihong didn't come. It was a female disciple at the Qi Condensation stage. She threw a piece of jade into the forest and left without looking back.
Wang Lin's right hand reached out and the piece of jade flew into his hand. After checking it with his divine sense, Wang Lin calmly put it into his bag of holding. Then he took a deep breath and without hesitation, he drilled into the ground and disappeared.
After combining the three maps, Wang Lin saw that Hou Fen belonged to the continent of Zhou Wu, which was separated from the continent of Zhao by the Sea of Devils.
If he wanted to return to Zhao, he would have to pass through the Sea of Devils, which was said to be filled with demonic cultivators.
The map didn't have much information about the Sea of Devils, but it emphasized that it was very dangerous. Even Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't dare to casually enter.
The map also pointed out that the Sea of Devils wasn't a real sea, but rather, it was created during the ancient war. A powerful cultivator used a spell to evaporate the entire sea to kill his enemies.
After that, the entire Sea of Devils was covered in fog. Calling it a sea of fog was the best way to describe it.
Many of the creatures that originally lived in the sea had evolved over a long period of time. They had adapted to the fog and could now live in it.
At the same time, due to the special fog in the Sea of Devils, there was one month every year when the fog would turn back into sea water. After one month, the fog would return to its original state.
The harsh terrain caused the resources here to be barren and spirit veins to be sparse. Killing and robbing was common here, so it slowly became a gathering place for demonic cultivators. Even some of the evil cultivators that were wanted by high ranking cultivation countries came here to use the special terrain of the Sea of Devils to avoid being hunted down.
This was where the name "Sea of Devils" came from. As for its original name, it had long been forgotten.
The forces in the Sea of Devils were very chaotic. Not many people were willing to enter the Sea of Devils.
As Wang Lin escaped, he was digesting the information on the map in the jade. Suddenly, his body stopped and his divine sense spread out from underground.
He saw two rays of sword energy flying through the sky. One of them was a woman, Shen Qing. Her face was pale and her body was on the verge of collapsing.
This woman's eyebrows were like smoke, and she was dazzling like a lotus fairy, gentle and elegant. She was precisely the female cultivator of the Luo He Sect, Li Muwan, whom he'd met once before.
The person chasing after her was a young man with oily hair and a powdered face. This young man chased after her at a leisurely pace while loudly ridiculing her, "Little girl, I've already killed all thirteen of your team members. Where else can you run to?
Li Muwan didn't say a word. She bit her lower lip and flew forward.
The young man waved his hand and with a tearing sound, Li Muwan let out a scream. Her clothes were torn off, revealing her snow white skin.
The young man let out a laugh. He sniffed his hand and his eyes revealed a silver light.
Wang Lin took a few glances before withdrawing his gaze. The young man's cultivation level was very high, mid stage Core Formation. Wang Lin didn't want to cause any trouble. The most important thing right now was to leave before the fire beasts arrived.
He had only met Li Muwan once, so he really didn't want to risk his life to save her. Just as he was about to leave, the young man's eyes lit up. He waved his hand and a ray of black light shot toward where Wang Lin was hiding.
"There is a junior that knows the earth escape technique hiding here. Since we have met, then you can stay."
Wang Lin sighed and jumped up the moment the ray of black light hit the ground.
Li Muwan sensed something was wrong and turned around. Her face immediately lit up and she cried, "It's you!
Senior Martial Brother, save me! "With that, the flying sword under her feet suddenly turned and arrived next to Wang Lin in the blink of an eye.
The young man laughed and pointed with his right hand. Seven or eight flying swords immediately appeared in front of him and spun around. In an instant, they were already near the two of them. However, most of these flying swords were aimed at Wang Lin. Li Muwan only had one flying sword on her, and it wasn't aimed at her vital points. It was obvious that the young man didn't want to kill her.
Wang Lin sighed and grabbed Li Muwan's arm. His body narrowly dodged the flying swords and once again sank into the ground. He used the earth escape technique to its extreme and quickly escaped.
The earth escape technique was indeed a great technique. Even though it was a branch of it, its speed was still very fast. Even though Wang Lin was carrying another person, his speed didn't slow down at all.
The young man had a playful expression as he controlled the flying sword to attack the ground. Waves of vibrations came from the ground.
But very quickly, as Wang Lin's speed increased, his expression became serious. He put away his playful heart and chased after Wang Lin.
However, even though he was a completion level cultivator, speed was not his forte. If it was a normal foundational level flying sword, he could easily chase after it. However, against the five element escape technique, he immediately showed his weakness and chased further and further away.
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. He looked back at Li Muwan with a ruthless gaze.
Li Muwan's heart skipped a beat. She knew she was dragging him down. She pursed her lips and quickly said, "This person is an elder of the Xuan Wu Cultivation Sect. I don't know how he found out I have a Distant Heaven Pill, but he didn't care about his status to come …" Before she finished speaking, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he said, "You have a Distant Heaven Pill?"
Wang Lin's gaze made Li Muwan extremely afraid. She was a very smart person, or else she wouldn't have said the words Distant Heaven Pill. In order to get this person to teach her, she had to gamble.
After all, this person was also from the country of Hou Fen. Falling into his hands was better than falling into the hands of that Core Formation cultivator. Thinking about this, she immediately said, "I don't have a prestige Distant Heaven Pill, I only have a semi-finished product …" Seeing Wang Lin's gaze, her eyes turned red and she quickly explained, "The Lou He Sect's Distant Heaven Pill isn't a finished product, only a semi-finished product. However, you only need to refine it for half an hour to complete the final step and turn it into a prestige pill.
Once the Distant Heaven Pill is completed, it cannot be stored. It must be consumed within a year or else its effects will be greatly reduced. "
Wang Lin's mind raced. He originally wanted to go around to the Sea of Devils, but in order to get rid of the youth, he grabbed Li Muwan's soft hand and quickly changed directions toward the border of Hou Fen.
Wang Lin had his own plans. He had two choices. One was to go to the peak of the Hou Fen Union. There were many powerful cultivators there and it wasn't far. Once he got there, he would be saved. However, not to mention whether or not the Core Formation youth in Xuan Wu would allow them to escape there, if Li Muwan changed her mind, it would be very difficult for him to get the Distant Heaven Pill.
The second choice was to go to the border of Hou Fen. Calculating the time, the fire beasts should be on their way.
Wang Lin didn't hesitate and chose the second option.
The young man chased closely after him. Seeing that he was getting faster and faster, he let out an angry snort and pulled out a crystalline leaf from his bag of holding. After looking at it carefully for a moment, he tossed it forward. The leaf immediately grew larger, until it was about three meters long. The young man stepped onto the leaf, formed a seal with one hand, and shouted, "Go!"
The moment he finished speaking, the leaf quickly charged forward. It was so fast that it left behind an afterimage that only dissipated after a long time.
The distance between the two sides was closed. Li Muwan's face became even more pale. She didn't dare to think about the consequences of being forced to fight. She couldn't help but complain about Wang Lin's decision to not go to the Hou Fen Union's peak. However, she only dared to think about it in her heart. She didn't dare to show it on her face. She was afraid that if she angered Wang Lin, he would throw her away.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he calculated the time in his heart. From the moment he found out that the formation had been broken until now, it had been around six hours. Not counting the time it took for his Nascent Soul to teleport and the time it took for the fire beasts to break the formation, the fire beasts must have already crossed the border of Hou Fen and entered Xuan Wu.
While calculating in his heart, Wang Lin's divine sense immediately detected a dense, red cloud sweeping toward him.
When the young man in pursuit saw the red cloud, his expression immediately changed. Without any hesitation, he turned around and gave up on the chase, quickly flying away.
With his status, he already knew the reason why Hou Fen invaded Xuan Wu. All of this was because of the dense red cloud of fire beasts.
The group of fire beasts was naturally very fast, and Wang Lin's earth escape technique was also very fast. The moment the two sides crossed each other, there was a large gap between them.
Li Muwan's heart jumped as she watched the fire beasts fly further and further away. Her heart calmed down a bit, but she immediately reacted and exclaimed, "Stop, we should go report. This … Aren't these fire beasts sealed by the country sealing formation?"
Wang Lin coldly looked at her and said, "They already know. You don't need to worry."
Just at this moment, a powerful divine sense suddenly appeared and swept across the area. It suddenly stopped on Wang Lin's body. Wang Lin knew this was bad. He took out a spirit liquid from his bag of holding and drank a large gulp. Without any hesitation, he grabbed Li Muwan and used the earth escape technique to its fullest.
The fire beasts that had already flown far away suddenly stopped one by one. They let out heaven-shaking roars and turned around to chase after Zhao Jiuge.
However, the distance between the two sides was very far and Wang Lin's reaction speed was very fast. Not only did he not slow down, he actually sped up. Although the fire beasts were chasing after him, they could only follow from far away.
Li Muwan's divine sense noticed this strange scene and a strange thought appeared in her mind. She had a feeling that the target of these fire beasts was not the Hou Fen Union, but the cold youth in front of her.
The true five-element escape technique was a powerful technique. Not only did it consume a large amount of spirit force, but it also had strict requirements for talent. However, Wang Lin only cultivated a branch of it, the pseudo-earth escape technique. Aside from the large amount of spirit force it consumed, it didn't have high requirements for talent. You could even slowly and accurately use it. Although Wang Lin hadn't comprehended it for a long time, he had used it many times. Now, he was very familiar with the earth escape technique.
As for the consumption of spirit force, to put it bluntly, the thing that Wang Lin was least afraid of was the consumption of spirit force.
After three days of using the earth escape technique, Wang Lin brought Li Muwan across the country of Hou Fen. The fire beasts behind him were getting closer and closer and their roars could be heard.
At the border of Hou Fen, Wang Lin came out from underground. He looked at the Sea of Devils in the distance and said to the exhausted Li Muwan, "Are you confident you can refine the Distant Heaven Pill before the fire beasts catch up?"
Right now, Li Muwan was afraid of Wang Lin from the bottom of her heart. She was certain that the target of the fire beasts was the person in front of her. Otherwise, there was no way the fire beasts would leave the Hou Fen Union alone and chase after him. Also, from the looks of it, the fire beasts seemed to have a deep hatred for this person.
Most importantly, Li Muwan had some understanding of the earth escape technique. She knew that aside from Core Formation cultivators, it was impossible for Foundation Establishment cultivators to use the earth escape technique for three days in a row. She was very curious about the liquid that Wang Lin drank every time his spirit force weakened.
Now that she heard Wang Lin's words, her face became even more pale. With her intelligence, how could she not guess the meaning behind his words? If she could make it, then perhaps he would give her a chance to live, such as luring the fire beasts away or letting her go.
However, if she couldn't make it, then this cold young man would take away her incomplete Distant Heaven Pill without any hesitation and leave her behind.
Thinking about this, Li Muwan's body trembled. She had seen many cultivators torn apart by fire beasts and was extremely afraid.
Wang Lin frowned. Right now, time was of the essence, but Li Muwan was in a daze. How could he know what Li Muwan was thinking? In reality, Li Muwan's guess was not completely correct. If she couldn't make it in a short period of time, then although Wang Lin would take away the incomplete Distant Heaven Pill, he would also give her some life-saving treasures. Plus, the fire beasts' target was him, so the chances of Li Muwan surviving were very high.
When Li Muwan saw Wang Lin frown, her heart trembled. She bit her lips and said, "Senior … senior apprentice brother, there's too little time. I … I can't make it, but … I … I know how to refine pills. I can refine almost all of the pills in the Lou He Sect. I also remember a lot of ancient pill recipes. As long as I have the materials, I can refine them."
Wang Lin was startled. He looked at Li Muwan a few times and saw a red light appear in the distance. He grabbed Li Muwan's arm and quickly rushed toward the Sea of Devils.
Li Muwan didn't know that her words had tempted Wang Lin. From Wang Lin's point of view, Li Muwan was a moving pill furnace. If he used it well, his cultivation would increase greatly.
This was something Wang Lin had learned from Sun Youcai's life experience.
The Sea of Devils was very large and the terrain was almost concave. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a giant basin. However, there were many mountains in the basin. Although there were no trees, there were many strange plants. If one looked closely, they would find that these plants could be traced back to ancient sea plants.
The season that Wang Lin entered was when the fog in the Sea of Devils was the thickest. Soon, the fog would turn into sea water. After one month of sea water, the sea water would suddenly evaporate and the place would once again be covered in fog.
Li Muwan was pulled into the fog by Wang Lin. Her body trembled as she bit her lower lip and whispered, "Senior … senior apprentice brother, this is the Sea of Devils!"
Wang Lin coldly said, "I know!"
Li Muwan let out a sigh and didn't say anything.
The moment they entered the fog of the Sea of Devils, slivers of cold energy came from the fog. This feeling shocked Wang Lin. He didn't expect there to be cold spiritual energy here. He was pleasantly surprised.
Compared to Hou Fen, the Sea of Devils was like a block of ice. It was a stark contrast to the heat of Hou Fen.
This was the first time Li Muwan had come to the Sea of Devils. All the rumors she had heard about the Sea of Devils came to mind. Her face couldn't help but become even paler than before.
Wang Lin stopped in the fog of the Sea of Devils. The fog here was not too thick, so he could see the border of Hou Fen in the distance.
In the distance, there were red clouds and fire beasts gathered. However, they stopped at the border of the Sea of Devils. Aside from letting out angry roars, they didn't move forward.
Gradually, more and more fire beasts gathered, but none of them took half a step into the Sea of Devils. It was as if there was an invisible barrier between the two of them.
After a long time, a Fire Beast finally rushed out, but as soon as it touched the mist, it immediately let out a series of miserable cries. Its body rapidly shrank, emitting bursts of white smoke, and the color of its skin quickly changed from red to gray. This scene was like throwing a piece of hot coal that had just come out of the oven into ice water.
When Wang Lin saw this, he felt a bit more at ease. According to his plan, if the fire beasts entered the fog, the creatures and cultivators in the Sea of Devils would be able to stop them.
Also, the size of the Sea of Devils was thousands of times the size of Hou Fen. The map didn't say there was a big difference, but the description of the Sea of Devils clearly pointed out the difference.
With how big the Sea of Devils was, if Wang Lin escaped, even if the fire beasts wanted to find him, they wouldn't be able to.
Wang Lin's body moved in a flash. He grabbed Li Muwan, the moving furnace, and quickly moved down through the fog.
His Ji Realm Divine Sense spread out and carefully observed the surroundings.
Opening a cave and quickly reaching the Core Formation stage was Wang Lin's only plan.
Only by reaching the Core Formation stage and becoming the strongest cultivator under the Nascent Soul stage would he be able to survive in the Sea of Devils.
(Shiyin's secret order: Daoist elders and demonic cultivators, Shiyin is using his body to exchange for a monthly ticket. One monthly ticket can be exchanged for a Nascent Soul body. Men and women are not limited. Appearance, body, and talent are acceptable.
If you have two monthly tickets, you can exchange for a Soul Transformation body. You will also be given a body possession manual. If you practice according to the manual, you will definitely be able to possess a body. I hope everyone will buy it quickly. The time limit is before the end of the month.)
