"This golden print has such an effect …" Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he inhaled. The golden print turned into a ray of golden light and disappeared into the mouth of Wang Lin's face on the fireball.
When the golden print disappeared, the golden light dissipated.
Wang Lin put away the golden print and slowly said, "I won't send you off!"
It wasn't until he saw the golden print disappear that Du Qing let out a sigh of relief. He retreated a few steps and was about to leave. He had chased Wang Lin the entire way and was shocked by the Grand Empyrean aura on the golden print. He had long given up all thoughts of fighting and wished he could leave immediately.
"What a scam!
This is too much of a scam!! "
Du Qing was very depressed. After retreating 1,000 feet, his expression changed and he stopped. He looked at Wang Lin, who was surrounded by the fireball.
"This person's background is extremely powerful and he has a treasure given by a Grand Empyrean. It is my fortune to meet such a person!
"I'm confused, how can I just leave like this? If I can get guidance from that Grand Empyrean through him, my cultivation level will definitely increase!
"Once I follow him and have this kind of background, I won't have to worry about the Great Soul Sect anymore. I won't have to send any good treasures to the Great Soul Sect!" Thinking about this, Du Qing's depression disappeared and he became excited.
"That's right, this is the opportunity countless cultivators dream of. If the other sects of the Heavenly Bull Continent find out that this person has a treasure given by a Grand Empyrean, they will go crazy and immediately invite him as an honored guest to fulfill all of his requirements … The heavens have eyes, my fortune has come. Right now, it is likely that only I know his identity, and I can't let anyone else know. I have to take all the benefits … I just don't know which Grand Empyrean is behind him … No matter which one it is, it doesn't matter!"
Du Qing's wooden body originally had no heart, but he could still faintly hear the sound of his heart pounding.
"Haha, this is a great fortune, this is a great fortune!"
Du Qing's eyes shined as he looked at the fireball Wang Lin was in. He took a deep breath and quickly clasped his hands, then he squeezed out a smile.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Fellow Cultivator, this is a misunderstanding.
I thought that the Blue Dragon Sect was too dilapidated and wanted to rebuild it. It just so happened that Fellow Daoist helped at this time. I am very grateful for this, so I chased after you to thank you. "Du Qing didn't even blink as he spoke without thinking.
"Oh?" Wang Lin looked at Du Qing with a smile that wasn't a smile as if he had seen through Du Qing's thoughts.
"Fellow Daoist, you are currently devouring the flames. This is an important matter, so how can I leave? Fellow Daoist, don't worry. With me protecting you, I won't let anyone step into this place!"
Du Qing wasn't embarrassed at all when Wang Lin looked at him. Instead, he was worried that Wang Lin wouldn't believe him. He immediately pointed at the sky with a serious expression and spoke once more.
"With the law of the Immortal Astral Continent above, I'll protect Fellow Cultivator today. If I have any malicious intent, I'll be destroyed by divine thunder, my dao will collapse, and my soul will dissipate!"
With that, a red rune appeared in Du Qing's right hand. The rune flickered, containing Du Qing's oath. It turned into a red light that shot into the sky and disappeared without a trace.
This was the Oath Symbol of the Immortal Astral Continent. Once it was used, very few people would disobey it. The law of the Immortal Astral Continent could act as a witness!
Wang Lin meaningfully looked at Du Qing and slowly said, "Fine, since you have the heart, I'll give you a chance to protect me."
When Du Qing heard this, he immediately became excited. He was worried that the misunderstanding from before would cause Wang Lin to be cautious and disgusted. Once this happened, he would never have a chance to get close to Wang Lin, and there would be no chance of obtaining a great fortune.
Hearing that Wang Lin had agreed to protect him, Du Qing quickly became spirited. His expression was extremely serious as he nodded at Wang Lin.
"Wang Daoyou, rest assured. This Old Man will risk his life to ensure Fellow Cultivator's safety!"
With that, he took a few steps back and appeared several thousand feet away. He sat down in the sky and his divine sense spread out. However, there was no trace of Du Qing's divine sense in the area around Wang Lin. He was obviously doing this to reassure Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's expression was neutral. Du Qing didn't hide his thoughts and clearly revealed them. Wang Lin could naturally see that Du Qing was shocked by the golden print and wanted to curry favor with Wang Lin. Du Qing's goal was the Grand Empyrean who made the golden print.
"This is also good. I've just arrived on the Immortal Astral Continent, so there are many things I can't learn through soul search. I need someone like this around … Also, he came to me of his own accord and I didn't ask for it. As a result, if he wants something, I'll have the initiative!"
Wang Lin sneered in his heart and closed his eyes. His face slowly disappeared from the giant fireball.
Du Qing strictly obeyed his oath and was on guard against his surroundings. He had made up his mind to use this opportunity to show off and offset the unhappiness from before.
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days went by.
During these three days, Wang Lin had left a sliver of his divine sense outside to guard against Du Qing. At the same time, his body was rapidly absorbing the fire essence inside the fireball.
This fireball was formed by a child vein and not a branch vein, so its absorption was naturally slow. It also contained the power of the fire essence, so it was extremely powerful. There seemed to be law within it as well.
This law was the will of fire. Wang Lin not only wanted to devour the fire essence, but also its will.
During these three days, the sixteen fire dragons outside the fireball disappeared one by one, fused with the fireball. Gradually, a will of fire spread out from the fireball. Du Qing was the first to sense it. His expression turned serious as he glanced at the fireball without saying anything.
On the morning of the fifth day, the sun rose and light shrouded the area. The moment the darkness was dispelled, the fireball that Wang Lin was in released a heaven-shaking rumble.
This rumble was extremely violent and the fireball rapidly shrank. In the blink of an eye, it was only 100 feet wide. The fire inside was distorted, and one could faintly see Wang Lin's figure. There seemed to be a Rosefinch circling around Wang Lin.
Cries of Vermillion Birds spread out from the fireball, and as they reverberated in the world, the fireball shrank once more. This time, it did not shrink quickly, and it took several hours before it shrank to a size of seventy feet.
However, there was a will of fire erupting from this 70 foot fireball. This will shrouded the world and seemed to want to contend with the will of the earth fire vein.
It was as if two wills of fire had appeared on the Heavenly Bull Continent!
This feeling was very strange. One of these two wills was the earth fire vein that existed on the Heavenly Bull Continent, and the other was the 70 foot fireball Du Qing was looking at!
"He is indeed worthy of being given a treasure by the Grand Empyrean. His fire essence can actually resist the will of the earth fire!" Du Qing looked at the 70 foot fireball and took a deep breath.
Just at this moment, the fireball rumbled violently once more and shrank like crazy. From 70 feet, it shrank to 30 feet!
Wang Lin's figure flickered and he walked out from the 30 foot fireball!
His white hair fluttered as Wang Lin sat down next to the fireball. His expression was very serious as his hands formed a seal and he pointed at the fireball.
With this, the roar of Rosefinch inside the fireball was heaven-shaking. One could vaguely see the fireball shrink once more until it was only 10 feet wide. Within this 10 foot fireball, one could see a much smaller version of Rosefinch rapidly rotating inside, and the roar of Rosefinch continued to spread out.
This scene caused Du Qing's eyes to reveal a strange light. He looked at the 10 foot fireball and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
"This Rosefinch is his fire essence body … Now he has sent all the essence power of the earth fire vein into Rosefinch's body. Could it be …" Thinking about this, Du Qing's eyes widened and were filled with terror once more.
"Could it be that he wants to form his essence true body!?"
Du Qing gasped and the terror in his eyes became even stronger.
"Once the essence appears, one can enter the third step, the Void Realm. One can absorb the might of the world with the essence and become invincible!
"Corporeal essences are often easy to obtain, but if one wants to reach the Arcane Void stage, they must personally comprehend the changes in the ethereal essence.
"The more essences one has, the stronger one becomes. This is something that all cultivators on the Immortal Astral Continent know!
Furthermore, Quintessence was also divided into different levels. From the initial appearance of Quintessence to the condensation of Quintessence artifacts, all the way to the completion of Quintessence, one had to go through them one by one. However, legend had it that there were some geniuses who could push their Quintessence to the completion of Quintessence and strengthen it once more, finally condensing an Quintessence True Body!
"This essence true body is very rare, and once it appears, it is terrifyingly powerful!
"In my life, I have only seen a soul essence true body from the Great Soul Sect's ancestor, and I have never seen a second … This … This Wang Daoyou, is he really forming an essence true body?" Du Qing looked at Wang Lin with disbelief in his eyes.
On the Immortal Astral Continent, among the 36 countries of the ancient country, the Ancient Dao occupied 12 countries. The Sky Country was where the Ancient Dao royal family was located.
In the Sky Country, there was a place with green mountains and rivers. Leaves fluttered in the wind and the sound of the river flowing could be heard. Deep within the leaves, one could vaguely see a towering, green altar.
The altar gave off an ancient aura, and there was a young man in black sitting on it.
He looked young, but in truth, he gave off the feeling that he had lived for countless years, as if he had lived for a very, very long time.
He was Xuan Luo.
The moment Wang Lin took out the golden print in the Heavenly Bull Continent, Xuan Luo, who had chosen to go into closed door cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes.
"He came …" Xuan Luo smiled. He knew that the disciple he had chosen wouldn't die in the void and would come to the Immortal Astral Continent!
