Master Hongshan's eyes became brighter and brighter. He took a deep breath and popping sounds came from his body. Red mist came out of his pores and formed a blood robe on his body.
He looked at Wang Lin and clasped his hands.
"Thank you, Lord of the Sealed Realm!" Master Hongshan turned around and stared at the Heaven Punishment Palace's lord. His eyes were filled with wisdom.
"Qin Jiuyan, even if you burn your cultivation, you won't be able to escape today. You won't die. The Old Man will be refined into a blood body by you and become a great help to my Inner Realm!" As Master Hongshan spoke, he turned into a red shadow and charged forward.
The old man in black's face was pale. Although he was a third step cultivator, he was still a cultivator. Facing the four of them, he was powerless to fight.
The moment Master Hongshan closed in, the old man in black quickly retreated.
However, behind him, Master Long Pan calmly raised his right hand and the Mountain and River Painting roared.
Shimizu's expression was cold as he raised his right hand and pointed at the old man in black. The five cracks on the old man's face suddenly tore open once more!
The Dark Moon Clear Sky was like a bone piercing into the marrow. It used a special method to continuously erupt with terrifying power.
Wang Lin's expression was neutral. The moment the three of them attacked, he raised his right hand. There was a flash of golden light in his eyes and he pointed at the old man in black.
"Stop!"
This was a battle without any suspense. The Seven-Colored Realm collapsed and the Heaven Punishment Palace's lord, Qin Jiuyan, was defeated and taken away by Master Hongshan.
Master Long Pan's burning soul finally showed signs of extinguishing with Master Hongshan's help. He silently left with his disciple, Zhong Xuan, to wait for the next battle between the Inner and Outer Realms.
Master Hongshan invited Wang Lin to the Cloud Sea battle platform. There, he would use the name of the Lord of the Sealed Realm to become the soul of the remaining Inner Realm cultivators to launch the final counterattack.
Wang Lin didn't go. He had acquired three Dao Fruits, and the most important thing right now was to use the power of the three Essences to break open the Void Gate and corroborate the Dao before the power of expulsion exploded out within him!
Shimizu left, his green robes fluttering in the starry sky. He carried his sorrow and loneliness as he silently left. He was going to search for his daughter. Perhaps he would find her, or perhaps he would never find her in this lifetime.
But no matter what, as long as Wang Lin gave the word, he would come back even if he was at the ends of the earth.
There was no need for too many words between him and Wang Lin. Shimizu would never forget all the things that had happened between them.
For Shimizu, there were only two people left in this starry sky that he cared about. One of them was his junior brother, Wang Lin.
Hongshan Zi's escape brought excitement to the Inner Realm cultivators. The subduing of the Summoned River gave the remaining Inner Realm cultivators hope!
The death of Esteemed Teacher Tian Zhao, the addition of Master Long Pan, and the capture of the Heaven Punishment Palace's lord had reignited the confidence of the Inner Realm cultivators.
Right now, the Inner Realm no longer had the Seven-Colored Realm, so there were no more flaws. After the war over the past few decades, all the cultivators had the passion to face death calmly. They had to fight, because if they failed, they could only walk the path of death.
Especially when Master Hongshan said that the Lord of the Sealed Realm had reappeared!
This sentence caused the Inner Realm cultivators to raise their heads, and the battle in their eyes became even stronger.
In the Brilliant Void, there was a planet connected to the Cloud Sea, Summoned River, and Luo Tian. During the war, this planet had slowly developed into a large trading market.
There were many cultivation planets like this, especially at the border of the four star systems. Cultivators from the four star systems came to these planets to trade for the resources they needed.
This caused the four star systems to slowly fuse together.
At this moment, on this cultivation planet called the Brilliant Void, there were cultivators from all the star systems in the city. It was very lively and filled with cultivators.
Among these cultivators, the female cultivators from the Summoned River were the most famous. Although the Summoned River had fallen and a lot of people had died, many of the female cultivators had killed their way out during the counterattack.
Although the Summoned River had just been recaptured, as large amounts of female cultivators returned from the other star systems, the Summoned River began to recover.
The Summoned River had the most female cultivators. Their beautiful faces and the fragrance of women made the single cultivators of the other three star systems do everything they could to find a cultivation partner that would accompany them for life or even have a bit of dew on them.
With the female cultivators from the Summoned River, the market became even more lively.
There were also some inns in the market that provided places for cultivators to cultivate. Every room in the inn had a large amount of spirit stones and a small amount of celestial jades.
Some inns with deep backgrounds even had origin jades to provide origin energy for those old monsters to cultivate.
At this moment, in the eastern part of the market that covered the entire cultivation planet, there was a medium-sized inn with tables and chairs filled with cultivators.
Although cultivators could abstain from eating, if they had celestial fruits, wine, or some simple mortal food, they could recall some of their memories. As a result, the inn was often full.
Also, because of the war in the Outer Realm, this was a chance to get to know Fellow Daoist Bei Fang. They could compare notes with each other's divine abilities and spells. Perhaps it would be a simple meeting, but in the future on the battlefield, they would meet again.
At this moment, there were several cultivators sitting at the tables in the northern part of the inn. One of them was a middle-aged scholar, and he smiled as he talked to his fellow cultivators.
"I said before that I once knew the Lord of the Sealed Realm, but you guys didn't believe me."
Two women sat in front of the scholar. Both of them were beautiful, but they seemed to be slightly different in age. The woman in the pink daoist robes was relatively younger and asked curiously when she heard the scholar's question.
"Where did Big Brother Frown meet the Lord of the Sealed Realm?"
The woman in purple beside her looked a bit older and was already a woman. Her face still showed the passage of time. She calmly sat there and still hadn't said a word.
There was an old man sitting next to the middle-aged scholar, and he smiled. "Lady Xu, don't believe Fellow Cultivator Frown's words. Every time he meets a female cultivator from the Summoned River, he says the same thing. This old man's ears have almost grown calluses from hearing it."
"It was in Suzaku. The Lord of the Sealed Realm at that time was far from his current cultivation level. I remember that he was only a little Core Formation cultivator. I didn't expect him to become the Lord of the Sealed Realm today!" The middle-aged scholar smiled and didn't care about the old man's words at all. His eyes were filled with melancholy.
The woman blinked and revealed a look of interest. She turned to look at the woman in purple next to her and lightly smiled.
"Senior Sister, I remember you said you came from Suzaku. Have you ever met the Lord of the Sealed Realm?"
After she spoke, everyone, including the middle-aged scholar, became silent. They all looked at the woman in purple with shock and envy, and there was even a hint of respect.
Even the cultivators at the other tables in the inn stopped talking when they heard this. They all looked at the woman in purple with respect.
The middle-aged scholar who spoke before quickly got up and clasped his hands at the woman in purple. He whispered, "I'm Zhou Dongde. Greetings, Fellow Cultivator Suzaku. What I said before was empty, I hope Fellow Cultivator doesn't mind."
Not only him, but even the old man and the surrounding cultivators, whether they came from the Luo Tian or the Brilliant Void, all got up and clasped their hands.
In particular, the cultivators from the Cloud Sea all walked up and clasped their hands.
This kind of thing was not common in the four major star systems, but it had happened several times. The Lord of the Sealed Realm was not a personal glory, but something that had been exchanged for time and time again. In the eyes of the Inner Realm cultivators, the Lord of the Sealed Realm was the soul of the Inner Realm!
The Lord of the Sealed Realm came from the Brilliant Void, and the cultivators of the Brilliant Void were often respected by fellow cultivators from the other three star systems. Although it wasn't much, it still existed.
The Lord of the Sealed Realm came from the Brilliant Void Suzaku. Everyone knew about Suzaku, so all the cultivators knew about it.
There was naturally respect for the cultivators of Suzaku!
However, Suzaku was a small place, and very few cultivators came from it. As a result, very few people actually met the Lord of the Sealed Realm.
However, it was also because of this that once people knew who the cultivators of Suzaku were, the respect they would receive would be very deep.
There was a saying in the Daoist world that when a person achieved dao, their chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven. Because of Wang Lin, Suzaku was respected by all the cultivators of the Inner Realm. This was no coincidence.
The violet-clothed woman seemed to be slightly unaccustomed to such an occasion. Her face was slightly red, and she raised her jade-like hand to tuck the fine black hair on her forehead behind her ear. She returned the greetings of the fellow Daoists who came to greet her, and then she spoke in a light voice to answer her Junior Sister's question.
"I … I should have seen him before …" The woman's eyes were filled with reminiscence. Her words immediately attracted the attention of everyone, and they all began to listen.
"However, I'm not sure if the person I saw was him …" The woman let out a sigh.
"Senior-apprentice Sister Zhou, hurry up and tell us." The pink-robed woman pushed the senior sister beside her.
"At that time, he was called Ma Liang … At that time, he had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage. He was very cold and somewhat ruthless … In the Foreign Battleground, he returned to Hou Fen with us.
"If he is really the Lord of the Sealed Realm, then he and Li Muwan met there … Li Muwan is my best friend …" The woman in purple was a bit uncertain and softly said.
The surrounding cultivators all listened very seriously. It was very difficult for them to hear this kind of thing from the mouth of a cultivator of Suzaku.
Only a young man in black sat in the distance and occupied a table by himself. He silently drank the wine in his hand. His expression was indifferent and he gave off a cold aura that made it impossible for strangers to get close.
"Master … Where are you …" The young man drank as he stared outside the inn in a daze. His eyes were filled with longing, but in an instant, his body trembled as he looked at the white-robed man walking in. His eyes were filled with disbelief and excitement.
