As his words echoed, Xuan Luo's figure slowly became clear in the void where Wang Lin was worshiping. Eventually, he appeared.
The moment they saw Xuan Luo, Dao Master Blue Dream and Tuo Sen's expressions suddenly changed. Their pupils shrank and their expressions became extremely serious.
They hadn't noticed Xuan Luo at all. Even now, they could only see him with their eyes, but if they closed their eyes, they still wouldn't notice him with their divine sense.
Xuan Luo didn't even look at Tuo Sen and Dao Master Blue Dream. He revealed an interested smile as he looked at Wang Lin, waiting for Wang Lin's answer. Xuan Luo wasn't surprised that Wang Lin knew he was hiding, but being able to call out his name made Xuan Luo speculate and understand a bit.
"I know. In the first flower, you took a wisp of the soul of that little Planet Five Elements cultivator from the Law Realm set up by that little fellow White Tiger!
"I presume you secretly searched for this wisp of soul and learned about what happened on planet Five Elements after you left!" Xuan Luo smiled and slowly said.
Wang Lin silently pondered for a bit and nodded. In truth, it was as Xuan Luo had said, Wang Lin had indeed found out his name from the soul of that Planet Five Elements cultivator.
There weren't many memories in that soul; after all, it wasn't complete. It only contained some recent events, including Xuan Luo's appearance after Wang Lin left.
This confirmed the doubt that had appeared in Wang Lin's heart when he first saw the Planet Five Elements cultivator. After all, he didn't see the arrogant old man that had died to Xuan Luo!
To be more accurate, the soul search happened when Wang Lin and Qi Sha were about to collect the Eye Fish. The strange disappearance shocked Wang Lin, and he carefully searched for the reason. In the end, he found the answer in the soul.
Wang Lin had noticed something in the Dong Lin Sect where the second flower ancient god was. Then in the Ancient Order Tomb, he confirmed what he knew. When he retreated three steps behind Xuan Luo and allowed Xuan Luo to act, Wang Lin knew what he knew was true.
"The reason you were able to accurately detect my location should be because of the Eye Fish … I neglected the aura of a male and a female." Xuan Luo shook his head. He had indeed neglected this point.
However, for Wang Lin to find him and know his identity meant that Wang Lin had exceeded Xuan Luo's probing, which made him very satisfied.
"Is the Old Man right?" Xuan Luo smiled and looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's expression became strange and he nodded once more.
"So not only do you know the name of the Old Man, you also know my identity?"
Xuan Luo's smile became even wider. During this period of time, he had been hiding beside Wang Lin and felt very happy. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart, and now he felt like Wang Lin should have found out sooner.
"One of the nine suns of the Immortal Astral Continent, Grand Empyrean of the Ancient Dao!"
Wang Lin silently pondered for a moment and then softly said, "When he found out about all of this, a monstrous wave was set off in his heart. It took a long time for him to calm down, but he hid his expression very well, so no one saw through it.
Wang Lin looked at Xuan Luo and slowly said, "The reason the cultivators of Planet Five Elements gave up on fighting for the third soul and their goal was because of Senior. Even helping me was because of Senior. Junior is grateful for this."
The more Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin, the more he liked him. Along the way, he had observed Wang Lin and found that all aspects of Wang Lin were beyond his imagination. He was very satisfied, and when he heard Wang Lin's words, he couldn't help but laugh.
What he admired even more was that Wang Lin clearly knew of his existence, but from beginning to end, he had never asked for his help. Wang Lin had completely reversed the situation in the cave world by himself.
This made Xuan Luo no longer hesitate to accept Wang Lin as his only disciple.
"Follow me back to the Immortal Astral Continent's Ancient Dao territory and become my only disciple to guard the Ancient Dao. Little fellow, are you willing?"
Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin with a kind expression. There was no hint of harshness in his voice but the tone of an elder discussing with a junior.
His expression and tone made Wang Lin's heart feel warmth.
However, he didn't agree and began to ponder.
Xuan Luo had observed Wang Lin for more than a day and a half, so he had some understanding of Wang Lin. Seeing Wang Lin's expression, he vaguely guessed what Wang Lin was thinking.
Xuan Luo frowned as he looked at the golden door and let out a sigh.
His frown wasn't toward Wang Lin, but because of what he guessed was Wang Lin's thoughts.
Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin and slowly said, "There are many cave worlds on the Immortal Astral Continent. It can be said that any sect with a certain size will have its own cave world. However, since ancient times, very few creatures have come out from the cave world, let alone become the master!
If the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign's soul hadn't scattered, he wouldn't have been sealed, "Xuan Luo slowly said as he looked at Wang Lin.
"Do you know why this is?
This is because of the law of the Immortal Astral Continent!
"The cave worlds created by the sects on the Immortal Astral Continent can't pass the law that has existed since ancient times if the creatures inside don't have the bloodline of the Immortal Astral Continent.
It's said to be a law, but you can actually take it to be a pressure that's incompatible with the world within the abode. This pressure is so great that it would cause all living beings without a bloodline within the abode to have their souls dispersed and be crushed to death at the instant they walk out of the abode! "Xuan Luo's voice reverberated in the air, and it revealed an aged tone.
"This law of the Immortal Astral Continent is something no one can resist!
I understand your thoughts. You don't want to leave by yourself and want everyone to go to the Immortal Astral Continent! "Xuan Luo let out a sigh.
Wang Lin pondered a bit and softly said, "If you don't want to leave, then Junior won't force you. However, if anyone wants to leave, then Junior indeed wants to."
"This is impossible!
Forget you, even the woman named Wan Er you saw in the dream spell can't go to the Immortal Astral Continent! "Just as Xuan Luo spoke, Wang Lin suddenly looked up.
"She can't go either?"
Xuan Luo revealed a complicated gaze. He knew how important that woman was to Wang Lin, so he nodded.
Wang Lin was startled for a very, very long time.
"But someone told me that if I have someone to guide me to the Immortal Astral Continent, I can reduce the law of the Immortal Astral Continent …
"No matter who told you this, they are lying to you!
This is simply impossible unless the nine suns act at the same time to resist the supreme law of the Immortal Astral Continent!
"The law of the Immortal Astral Continent is set by the Celestial Ancestor and Ancient Ancestor bloodlines, it cannot be changed!"
Wang Lin's face was pale as if he had suddenly lost most of his blood. He staggered back a few steps and the last mouthful of blood in his body flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
The light in his eyes instantly dimmed, and a piercing pain of despair appeared in his heart.
"I also checked that woman called Wan 'Er. What's strange is that her soul is not complete, and a portion of it has disappeared. I also helped you search this cave world, but I couldn't find any clues. This matter is very strange.
"However, her soul is incomplete, so she can't awaken. If I can make her soul complete, perhaps I can awaken her!
"You can go to the Immortal Astral Continent first. If there is a chance in the future, find the missing soul and come back here …" As he spoke, Xuan Luo stopped. He saw that tears of blood seemed to fill Wang Lin's eyes.
"Really … Can't do it …" Wang Lin bitterly lowered his head.
"I won't leave Wan Er here by herself and go to the Immortal Astral Continent by myself … The reason I opened the door to the Immortal Astral Continent was all for her!!
"In order to awaken her, my original plan was to take her to the Immortal Astral Continent to find an opportunity to awaken her … If she can't go, then I'll go to the Immortal Astral Continent by myself for tens of thousands of years … It would be better for me to stay with her in this cave world and never leave until we die …" Wang Lin murmured as tears flowed down from his eyes. The color of the tears was faint red.
It was like the sorrow of the soul, the sorrow of the god, the despair of all the sorrow in the body.
Wang Lin's words entered Dao Master Blue Dream's ears. He silently pondered as he listened to the man his daughter loved love another woman. However, this time, he didn't feel anger, only sympathy and sorrow. He thought of his wife.
Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin for a long time before he let out a sigh and suddenly spoke.
"Wang Lin, it's not like there is no way!
"This old man will go all out and help you resist the law of the Immortal Astral Continent. I'll use the Heavenly Sun Reincarnation Spell. If your friends want to leave this cave, they will be reborn on the Immortal Astral Continent through reincarnation!
"After reincarnating, they will be people of the Immortal Astral Continent and have the bloodline, but their memories will be sealed. You will need to find them one by one and awaken their sealed memories!
"This process will be extremely long, and the Old Man can't calculate how long it will take. Perhaps some people will only need a few years to reincarnate, or it might take more than 1,000 years!
"The Old Man can't determine the location of the reincarnation. The Immortal Astral Continent is too big, so you have to be prepared and have the confidence to find them one by one!
"As for the woman named Wan Er … Her soul is incomplete, so she can't reincarnate … However, the Old Man will still help you. When you resist the law of the Immortal Astral Continent, you will have a 50% chance of safely taking her to the Immortal Astral Continent!
"However, this possibility is only 50%!
Once you fail, you will die with her!
Tell me your choice! "
Xuan Luo would have to pay a great price for these words, but at this moment, he looked at Wang Lin and spoke without hesitation.
There was no help in this world for no reason. This was something Wang Lin understood.
However, some people's different methods could lead to different outcomes. For example, Du Tian back then and Xuan Luo now. Their actions were filled with selfishness, but Wang Lin's heart was warm and not cold.
Wang Lin valued kindness. He was worthy of Du Tian and Xuan Luo doing this.
