Wang Lin frowned. The words of the first generation Rosefinch echoed in his mind, causing him to silently ponder.
"The Five Void Breaking Fingers is a process of condensing your Void Breaking power. Only by cultivating this power to the peak of the second step can you borrow the power of your essences to break open the Void Gate!
"Your cultivation is too complex. Let's first talk about your ancient god body. Ancient god, ancient god, I didn't expect a descendant of my Rosefinch family to become an ancient god!" The first generation Rosefinch's eyes lit up as he looked at the blood sword between his eyebrows.
"The Old Man doesn't know much about ancient god cultivation, but in the Old Man's era, ancient gods were powerful enough to shake the world. Back then, although Ye Mo wasn't a celestial sovereign, his cultivation was enough to make even the celestial sovereigns dread him …"
"Ancient?" Wang Lin was startled and looked up at the first generation Rosefinch.
"I can't tell you this because of the oath I made back then, so don't ask anymore. If you are lucky, perhaps you will be able to find the answer that has been lost in time." The first generation Rosefinch's expression was a bit sad.
"If you had only cultivated the Ancient God Body and used your strength to prove your Dao, then it might have been easier for you to break through the Void Gate … But you also have Essences in your body, and they are the most shocking five Essences in history!!
"As a result, it will be even more difficult to enter the third step.
The more essences you have, the more difficult it will be to enter the Void Realm unless you give up all your essences and become an ancient god. Or you give up your ancient god body and give up four essences, leaving only one, and cultivate it to the peak to enter the Void Realm! "
Wang Lin silently pondered.
"The third step of the Nirvana Realm requires the completion of the Origin Source. With the help of the Joss Flames and the devouring of the Dao Spirit, it is possible to step into the Nirvana Realm. However, I don't sense any Joss Flame aura from you.
"The path you are walking is a difficult path, completely different from the second and fourth generation. I can't help you with this … However, you have a choice, and you should carefully consider it."
Wang Lin looked at Rosefinch and asked calmly, "What choice?"
"Give up your Ancient God body, give up your Lightning Origin that seems to have been completed but is actually flawed. You also have to give up all the other origins apart from your Fire Origin … Stay in this Tianfang World. Within 100 years, the Old Man will help you step into the third step!
From now on, you only have one source, and that is Rosefinch's Fire!
When you reach the third step, the Old Man will teach you the Senra Flame!
Stay here and cultivate with the second and fourth generations. Once the Old Man breaks this seal, the Old Man will take the three of you … and leave this place! "Rosefinch said slowly.
"Leave this place?" Wang Lin's eyes flickered. He could vaguely feel that there was something fishy about these words.
"Leave this place!" The first Rosefinch's eyes were filled with reminiscence as he said softly, "Return to the world I came from …"
Wang Lin was startled and was about to speak.
"Don't ask. You can't say it. If you say it, you will die!
They want to fight and steal. The Old Man is tired and doesn't want to participate. He just wants to … go home. "The first Rosefinch's voice was filled with exhaustion.
"I'll give you time to think about it. I hope you carefully consider it …" The first Rosefinch let out a sigh.
Wang Lin's breathing became rough and he revealed a struggling expression. The first Rosefinch's words were a great temptation to him, even greater than what Dao Master Blue Dream had said!
After all, Dao Master Blue Dream was not a member of the Rosefinch Clan. In Wang Lin's heart, he was more inclined to what the first Rosefinch had said.
Wang Lin hesitated and whispered, "If I give up my Ancient God body and other essences and reach the third step, can I re-cultivate my essences?"
"Of course you can. A third step cultivator also cultivates essences. The more essences you have, the deeper your comprehension will be and your cultivation will increase.
However, you won't be able to reach perfection and will only be able to reach the third step.
"However, there is no danger in this matter for you. It is a smooth path, and you don't need to give up your obsession. The Old Man was struck by the fire of karma back then. He knows how important it is for people like us who can't let go of our obsession …" The first Rosefinch looked at Wang Lin and seemed to see himself in the past. He let out a sigh.
Wang Lin trembled and his breathing became even more rapid. The choice before him seemed to have completely tilted to him. It was as if there was a voice in his heart that was filled with the exhaustion of 2,000 years of cultivation, the possibility of a peaceful life, and a hint of excitement. It was constantly whispering to him.
"Stay here …"
"Stay here … I don't need to experience bloodshed, I don't need to worry about life and death …"
"Stay here … 100 years to become a third step cultivator … Even if I give up my essence, even if I give up my ancient god body, I can still re-cultivate after becoming a third step cultivator … Even if I can't reach perfection, as a cultivator, if I can reach the third step, it will be worth it even if I stop moving forward!
"Stay here … 2,000 years of cultivation, are you not tired yet? Life and death again and again, are you not afraid … Stay here, stay here …"
Wang Lin's struggle became even more intense and his breathing became rapid. This short period of time felt like 1,000 years to him. After a long time, Wang Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at the first Rosefinch. His voice was a bit hoarse as he whispered, "In the end, when the ancestor leaves, can you only bring the three of us?
Can you bring a few more people?
Junior still has some friends I can't give up … "
The first Rosefinch was silent. After a moment, his voice echoed through the world.
"Bringing the three of you is already the Old Man's limit … Forget it, if the day comes when I leave, the Old Man can at most give you one more spot!
If you give me more, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. "
"One spot …" In Wang Lin's eyes appeared Li Muwan … Situ Nan, Shimizu, Zhou Ru … Li Qianmei … He thought of all the people he had struggled with during his 2,000 years of cultivation.
"Now tell me, what is your choice?" The first Rosefinch's voice entered Wang Lin's mind.
Huge waves surged in Wang Lin's heart. This choice made him struggle, made him hesitate … After a moment, Wang Lin raised his right hand and made a grasping motion. Immediately, a storage space appeared before him, and a coffin slowly floated out.
Inside the coffin, Li Muwan lay there peacefully, as if she was in a deep sleep.
"Can Senior revive her?"
Wang Lin raised his head, and his eyes were bloodshot. This struggle and choice was comparable to a fierce battle for him!
A long sigh echoed in the Heaven Trial, and the first Rosefinch's voice echoed.
"When you opened the storage space, the Old Man saw this coffin … This woman must be your obsession … This coffin should have been refined by someone later on. The Old Man hasn't seen it before, but he can feel its use … This woman's lifespan came to an end and her nascent soul was seriously injured, so she died … You used this coffin to bury her nascent soul and form a new body. However, this woman's soul has already collapsed …"
Wang Lin's body trembled as he stared at Li Muwan inside the coffin.
"This coffin is very strange. It can faintly make the soul that has collapsed in the world not dissipate for a short period of time. If you can find the right way to control it, you might be able to find the soul fragments one by one … But even so, even if you find all the soul fragments, the Old Man can't resurrect her …"
Wang Lin's heart was filled with despair, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed. He stared at the coffin in a daze, and his heart felt like it was being torn apart.
"However, just because the Old Man can't do it doesn't mean others can't. In the Old Man's hometown, there are three people who can fuse with this soul and revive this woman!
It's just that … all three of them are extremely respected figures, so I can't ask them to help me … But don't worry, I'll do my best … "The first generation Vermilion Bird slowly said after a moment of silence.
Wang Lin didn't raise his head. He silently withdrew his gaze from the coffin and patted it with his right hand. The coffin flashed and he put it back into his storage space.
"The three people that Ancestor mentioned are too far away from me. The fact that they can do this must be related to their cultivation. Their cultivation should be unfathomable …" Wang Lin raised his head and looked at the statue of the first Rosefinch. Although his eyes were still bloodshot, he didn't struggle. Instead, he was filled with clarity and determination.
"Junior also wants to live a peaceful life. I'm tired of all the life and death situations in the cultivation world. I'm tired of all the treachery in the human heart. I really want to stay here and quietly grow old. Even if my cultivation stops at the third step, so what?!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he continued to speak softly, "However, junior can't do it … Begging others is too ethereal. Life and death are in the hands of others, and there is no choice that belongs to me … Since this is the case, I won't beg others. If they can cultivate to this level, then I, Wang Lin, can do it too!"
"... That's fine too!"
Although these three words weren't loud, when they came out of Wang Lin's mouth, it was as if an indescribable power had entered his body. His entire body revealed a shocking aura.
These three words seemed to echo through the world. Even the eyes of the first Rosefinch narrowed.
"I can't give up the body of an ancient god!
Aside from fire, I can't give up the other four essences. No matter how difficult this path is, I have to continue down it!
I can't let my cultivation stop … "Wang Lin bowed toward the first Rosefinch and stepped forward into the sky.
"Junior appreciates the old ancestor's kindness … Whether it is the Five Heaven's Fades or the Void Piercing Fingers, they are all created by cultivators on their own. They are the accumulation and preparation for breaking through the void … Since that is the case, why can't junior comprehend them on his own and walk down a path that belongs to me, Wang Lin!
"Senior just said that the Five Heaven's Fades are like the fingers. Only by completing all five fingers can I cover the sky with one hand. Junior doesn't want to go through the Five Heaven's Fades!
"The body of an ancient god is junior's palm, and the five essences are junior's fingers!
The Five Heaven's Fades, the Void Piercing Fingers, and the five essences are different names, but the meaning is the same!
When I complete one of my essences, it is equivalent to my cultivation reaching the first Heaven's Fades. When I complete all five essences, I will be a cultivator at the peak of the Five Heaven's Fades. I will break through the Void Gate and become Wang's own dao! "
The next chapter will be late. Go get an IV drip.
