Wang Lin's expression was calm as he withdrew his gaze from the bright stars above. With his cultivation level, he could clearly feel the invisible fluctuations from before. Someone had used a dao spell to lock onto him.
"It looks like my return has attracted a lot of attention … This is also good!"
Wang Lin revealed a smile. Right now he had the qualifications and cultivation to face everything.
Even if others knew of his return, it didn't matter to him!
Walking forward confidently, Wang Lin's pace wasn't fast, but every step took him countless steps. He looked at the familiar stars around him and silently walked forward.
In the distance before Wang Lin, there was a group of nearly 100 cultivators flying around a planet filled with spiritual energy. They threw out thread-like objects that formed a net around the planet.
Among this group of cultivators was a middle-aged man. His eyes were like lightning and he was at the peak of the Nirvana Cleanser stage. He had a majestic appearance, and his eyes shined brightly. Arcs of lightning moved around his body, making him even more majestic.
"All of you, pay attention and work together. Don't damage the cultivation planet. Otherwise, the Thunder Celestial Temple's blame is a small matter, but if it affects the Luo Tian's preparations, we will all have to go home and go into closed door cultivation!"
The middle-aged man's voice was like thunder as it spread out. When it landed in the ears of the surrounding cultivators, they all revealed smiles.
"Zhan Konglie, it's fine for us to go into closed door cultivation, but you are the leader of this generation of the Zhan family. How could your ancestor let you go into closed door cultivation?"
"Normally, being taught a lesson and going into closed door cultivation isn't a big deal, but now we are preparing for war. Once the war begins, I won't be willing to be punished to go into closed door cultivation!"
"Brother Zhan, I heard that all four star systems are preparing for war, but the Cloud Sea is the leader. Many of us are confused about this. Why should we listen to the Cloud Sea?
Do you have any news? "
Laughter echoed as everyone activated their origin energy. The cultivation planet rumbled and was slowly pulled out of its original trajectory. Under everyone's pull, the planet slowly floated forward.
The middle-aged man was Zhan Konglie. There was also a thin line connecting his right hand to the planet behind him. As he flew forward, he smiled and said, "This matter was decided by my Luo Tian ancestor, Master Lu Fu, and the people of the other three star systems. I don't know much, but if there is news, I'll tell you all. What's the rush?"
When Master Lu Fu was mentioned, these cultivators revealed fanatical gazes. They had only learned about Master Lu Fu in recent years, including Zhan Konglie. In their eyes, Master Lu Fu was the strongest person in the Luo Tian realm and the guardian of the Luo Tian realm. As long as Master Lu Fu existed, the Luo Tian realm would not be destroyed!
Looking at the people around him, Zhan Konglie let out a sigh. Unlike these people, there was only respect in Zhan Konglie's eyes, not a hint of fanaticism. It was as if his fanaticism had been taken away by someone many years ago.
A long time ago, he, Zhan Konglie, had the same fanaticism from these people. He was once hot-blooded for it. As long as that person said it, he would do anything for that person!
His fanaticism toward that person hadn't dissipated due to the passage of time. Instead, as he understood that person's identity, it became even stronger.
"However, where is he now …" Zhan Konglie's eyes revealed a deeply hidden trace of reminiscence. He would often think of the past.
That person had walked past the Luo Tian, and aside from himself, he had also affected Shengong Hu. Thinking about Shengong Hu, Zhan Konglie let out a snort. Over the years, Shengong Hu had opposed him everywhere, and their confrontation had become even more intense.
These nearly 100 cultivators turned into rays of light and slowly flew forward. They moved faster and faster as they pulled the cultivation planet forward.
A moment later, a white-robed figure slowly walked out from the distance before the group of cultivators. When he saw the group of cultivators, he stopped in midair and silently looked over.
The appearance of the person in white immediately caught the attention of these cultivators. Zhan Konglie's eyes narrowed and he looked over. However, due to his cultivation level, he couldn't clearly see the person's appearance.
Zhan Konglie stepped forward and arrived at the front. He sent out his divine sense. "A bit strange, everyone be careful!"
The two sides got closer and closer, but the person in white still didn't move. He just calmly stood there and watched as the cultivators passed by him.
No one could clearly see the person in white. It was as if everything they looked at would distort. It was as if there was a black hole where he stood that could devour everything.
It wasn't until the nearly 100 cultivators pulled the cultivation planet past the white-robed man that everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"This person's cultivation level is not simple. From the looks of it, he shouldn't be someone from my Luo Tian …"
"Right now, the barrier between the four star systems has been opened. As long as one has a guide, they can travel freely. This person should be from another star system."
As they gradually disappeared into the distance, Zhan Konglie turned around and looked at the person in white that hadn't left. He frowned.
"This person … seems vaguely familiar …"
Wang Lin looked at the group of cultivators before him and then at Zhan Konglie. Reminiscence appeared in his eyes. Zhan Konglie looked a bit older than before. He remembered back in the Thunder Lake. Zhan Konglie's cultivation level was clearly higher than his, but when he used the power of thunder to comprehend a sliver of source origin, Zhan Konglie had been scared to the point of breaking out in cold sweat. Zhan Konglie had even bowed to him as his master. Wang Lin smiled.
"To be able to see an old friend is a great blessing in life …" Wang Lin smiled as he turned and walked into the distance.
He was very happy.
Wang Lin walked further and further away. The distance between him and the nearly 100 cultivators gradually became endless. Zhan Konglie was still frowning. He didn't even hear the words of the cultivators beside him. He looked at the figure that slowly disappeared from his sight, and that familiar feeling lingered in his heart.
"Very familiar …" Zhan Konglie silently turned around and flew forward with the cultivators beside him. However, he was still thinking about where this familiar feeling came from.
The blurry figure of the white-clothed person continuously appeared in his mind. The swaying of the white-clothed person's white hair when he turned around also clearly rose and fell in his mind again and again.
"I must have seen this person before!"
Zhan Konglie rubbed the spot between his eyebrows, but just at this moment, his right hand suddenly paused. The blurry figure in white in his mind gradually overlapped with the person in his memory. The moment they completely merged, Zhan Konglie's mind rumbled as if 100,000 bolts of thunder had exploded at the same time, causing his body to tremble!
His eyes were filled with disbelief, and he subconsciously turned around. His face immediately turned red, and his eyes widened. In a brief moment of absent-mindedness, he could hear his own heart pounding!
"It's … It's him!!"
Zhan Konglie didn't hesitate to take a step forward. His speed was like Thunder as he charged in the direction that Wang Lin had gone.
His sudden action immediately caused the hundred or so cultivators around him to freeze in place.
Zhan Konglie almost used his full speed to cross the endless star system. However, before him, there was no sign of Wang Lin.
It wasn't until a long time that Zhan Konglie stopped and bitterness appeared in his eyes.
"Why didn't you call me …" He stood there for a long time … Time passed. Zhan Konglie silently clasped his hands at the stars before him. He let out a sigh and left.
In the depths of the Luo Tian star system, there was an empty star system. This place was desolate, and most of the cultivation planets weren't rich in spiritual energy. There was a small cultivation planet that gave off a soft glow and slowly rotated.
The ocean occupied 70% of this cultivation planet, and the land was scattered. From afar, it looked like a blue ball of water.
Planet Qing Ling!
There were cultivators on the planet, but most of them weren't high. There were only three Soul Transformation cultivators.
At this moment, at the top of the tallest mountain on planet Qing Ling, three Soul Transformation cultivators were respectfully standing before an old man.
The old man was wearing a scholar's robe and didn't look like a cultivator. He looked more like a mortal scholar. He calmly sat on a stone platform at the top of the mountain.
He had sat here for more than 800 years.
All of this was because of a single sentence his teacher had said.
"I've never had any disciples in my life. Your dao is connected to mine, so I can accept you as an honorary disciple!
I'll gift you this mountain to cultivate for a while. I won't teach you any spells, I'll only gift you enlightenment! "
The old man slowly opened his eyes. He didn't look at the three Soul Transformation cultivators before him, but silently looked at the clouds in the distance.
"The three of you can leave … This planet belongs to Teacher … Before Teacher returns, no one can take a blade of grass, a tree, a mountain, or a river."
"But we are currently preparing for war. The Thunder Celestial Temple has given the order and will arrive in three days to take the planet. We …" One of the three Soul Transformation cultivators looked anxious. Just as he was about to speak, the old man on the stone platform looked at him.
Just one gaze caused the Soul Transformation cultivator's mind to tremble. He didn't dare to speak anymore. The three of them respectfully clasped their hands and left.
The old man silently pondered as he looked at the layers of clouds in the sky. After a long time, faint sounds of Thunder came from the sky. Not long after, bursts of wind howled, forming dark clouds that covered the sky and the sun.
The sound of the rain coming from the distance got closer and closer. The rain came from the distance and slowly wrapped around the earth.
The rain was very heavy and landed on the top of the mountain, creating a continuous sound of rain. Under this rain, the world became blurry.
The wind was also very strong. The rain swept by the old man's body and wet his clothes, but it couldn't cover the old man's gaze as he looked at the sky and waited.
A sigh seemed to be blown by the wind and entered the old man's ears. The old man's body trembled and his eyes were filled with excitement.
"I remember … your name is Xie Qing!"
