In the Great Soul Sect, Wang Lin's cave mountain was very unique. The burning fire seemed like it would never extinguish, but there was no smoke coming from it. Only the world around the mountain was distorted by the sea of fire, making everything look like an illusion.
The mountain was extremely hot, and if one got close, they would sweat a lot. If one got closer, it would feel like their blood was boiling.
In the entire mountain, Wang Lin had only kept three caves. The rest had all been destroyed, and he was the only one left.
Sitting inside the cave that originally belonged to Yan Lu, Wang Lin's essence true body appeared behind him. He slowly merged with the mountain as if he had become one with it.
Wang Lin cultivated for a while before he opened his eyes. There was a flash of light in his eyes.
"Great Soul Sect …" Wang Lin waved his right hand and a purple jade appeared in his hand. It gave off an ancient aura and a hint of decay.
"Soul Eye Dao … The person I have met the best at divination is Tian Yunzi!
Also, Qing Lin has a similar dao spell … This kind of divination spell is very useful. Back then, I borrowed Tian Yunzi's avatar to calculate and survived several life and death crises … Now that I have the Soul Eye Dao, I must learn it. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to move an inch on the Immortal Astral Continent … More importantly, I need to hide myself so others will find it difficult to divine me … "Wang Lin pondered as his divine sense spread out to cover the jade in his hand.
However, just at this moment, Wang Lin suddenly looked up. The entire mountain had fused with his essence true body, so the mountain was his essence true body. He could clearly feel a woman walking over from outside the mountain.
The woman stopped outside the mountain. After pondering a bit, she lowered her head and said with a gentle and pleasant voice.
"Disciple Fan Shanmeng is ordered by Teacher to come here to meet Elder Wang."
Fan Shanmeng … "Wang Lin smiled faintly and lowered his head to ignore her. Instead, he used his divine sense to study the jade slip in Sun Man's hand.
"The soul is the path, the path leads the soul, and the path seeks life …" The moment Wang Lin's divine sense entered the jade slip, an old voice reverberated in his mind. That voice seemed to contain a strange power, causing Wang Lin to be completely immersed in it as he comprehended the Soul Eye Path in the jade slip.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
Fan Shanmeng was still standing outside the mountain peak, waiting with her head lowered. The temperature here was like waves, coming in layers, causing Fan Shanmeng's clothes to be drenched in sweat, sticking to her body. It was very uncomfortable, but she still stood there, waiting for Wang Lin to summon her.
This feeling made her feel very helpless. She thought back to everything that had happened in the past, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes. However, she quickly hid it.
Inside the cave on the mountain peak, Wang Lin opened his eyes. He looked at the jade in his hand and silently pondered for a bit.
"4.9 billion runes … Each rune needs a certain amount of time to be imprinted on the soul … 100,000 runes is small success.
2,700,000,000 was considered medium, and 4,900,000,000 was considered large success … This technique was extremely strange. It was easy to get started, but if one wanted to take a step further, it was shockingly difficult. Moreover, the further one went, the more complicated the inscriptions would be, and the longer it would take to brand the inscriptions into the soul!
"Is this the Great Soul Sect's Soul Eye Path …" Wang Lin silently pondered for a bit and his expression became a bit strange.
"According to the time given on the jade, it only takes three days to get started. Within three days, nine out of ten people will be able to imprint 100,000 runes on the soul … However, if one wants to reach medium success, it will take 999 years … And one will have to go into closed door cultivation at all times … This is also possible. It is not uncommon for cultivators to go into closed door cultivation for thousands of years.
"However, if one wants to reach large success and imprint 4.9 billion runes, they will have to go into closed door cultivation for 178,000 years. This …" Wang Lin frowned. He vaguely understood why Old Ancestor Green Bull had so easily given this seemingly precious Soul Eye Path to him.
This spell could not reach large success at all!
At most, it would only reach medium success!
After letting out a cold snort, Wang Lin closed his eyes and continued to immerse himself in imprinting the runes on the soul. Soon, at dusk on the third day, the world was golden and there was a hint of bleakness. Wang Lin opened his eyes once more.
"It is indeed as the jade said. Three days to imprint 100,000 runes on the soul …" Wang Lin raised his right hand and pointed to between his eyebrows. His body trembled and strands of soul energy came out. The soul energy quickly formed a small person above Wang Lin's head.
This small person was only three inches tall, and its body was formed by the 100,000 runes imprinted on Wang Lin's soul. This small person did not look the same as Wang Lin. It only had a pair of eyes, no nose, no mouth, and not even ears.
With a gentle leap, the small person landed before Wang Lin. When Wang Lin stretched out his right hand, the small person jumped up once more and stood on Wang Lin's palm.
Looking at the small person, Wang Lin's eyes revealed a strange light. The 100,000 runes on the small person's body flashed continuously, making it so that he could only see the small person's flesh. However, when he scanned it with his divine sense, he found nothing.
When Wang Lin looked at the small person, it was also looking at Wang Lin. Its eyes were clear and contained an indescribable spirit. The moment their gazes met, Wang Lin felt like he was in a trance.
"Soul Eye Path, search for the mysteries of oneself!"
Wang Lin suddenly said, wanting to divine his own fate. The moment he spoke, the small person on his palm trembled and gave off waves of ghostly light. It immediately knelt on Wang Lin's palm and kowtowed to Wang Lin.
When the small person's head touched the skin on Wang Lin's palm, a strange power seemed to spread out from the small person's body. It rushed into Wang Lin's palm and into his mind.
Wang Lin's vision blurred, and he seemed to see a fog. This fog was filled with a blood-red light, and he could faintly see countless figures, but he could not see them clearly.
At that moment, the small person kowtowed again. When its forehead touched the skin on Wang Lin's palm for the second time, Wang Lin's mind rumbled, and the fog before him seemed to be forcefully pushed away by a wave of power.
He could faintly see a mountain that was shrouded in Wang Lin's thunder. It was like a lightning mountain that stood at the peak of the world, and at the foot of the mountain, he saw a person suppressed at the foot of the mountain!
Bolts of lightning descended from the sky and continuously struck the mountain. He could also faintly see a giant chariot formed by Thunder and Thunder in the sky. A figure also formed by thunder stood on the chariot, looking down at the ground.
Wang Lin was shocked. Without hesitation, he carefully looked at the face of the person suppressed at the foot of the mountain, but it was a blur, and he couldn't see it clearly.
At that moment, the small person on his palm trembled and kowtowed to Wang Lin for the third time. The moment its forehead touched the palm, Wang Lin's body trembled violently, and his mind rumbled. It was as if he had once again obtained the power to push away the fog, allowing him to clearly see the face of the person suppressed at the foot of the mountain!
That person was shockingly himself!!
The moment he saw everything clearly, the illusion before Wang Lin collapsed with a bang. It was as if a cultivation planet had smashed into him, and with a bang, his divine sense rapidly shrank.
"Who will use this Thunder Mountain to suppress me in the future?!"
Wang Lin's expression was ferocious. As everything before him collapsed, he forced his divine sense to remain. He lifted his head and looked at the figure on the chariot formed by Thunder in the sky. He wanted to see the person's face clearly!
"Soul Eye Dao, activate it once more!"
He could not see clearly, but how could Wang Lin give up just like that? As he sent the message, the small person in his hand trembled and kowtowed for the fourth time.
With a bang, it was as if a giant bolt of Thunder had rumbled through the world Wang Lin saw. The blinding light completely lit up the blurry world, and at that moment, Wang Lin clearly saw the appearance of the person on the chariot!
The moment he saw the person clearly, Wang Lin trembled. His body trembled, and the illusion before him completely collapsed. His eyes narrowed, and when he looked up, he was still inside the cave.
The small person in his palm had a dispirited expression. Its gaze was dim, and it was motionless.
After pondering for a long time, Wang Lin still could not forget the last thing he saw.
"Impossible … How could this be …" Wang Lin's eyes were filled with confusion. After a long, long time, he clenched his hand and the small person in his palm fused with his soul to nourish it.
"This matter is strange … However, the Soul Eye Dao can indeed divinate the future. After this person recovers for some time, I might be able to use it to divinate the whereabouts of Situ, Shimizu, Li Qianmei, and the others …" Wang Lin pondered and suppressed the shock he felt from what he had seen. At his current cultivation level, he had experienced too many things in his life. Even if it was a heaven-shattering event, he could calmly suppress it in his heart.
"Three days … I wonder what the three gifts Old Ancestor Green Bull mentioned are … He also said that I can enter the Great Soul Sect's Soul Scripture Pavilion to choose a spell …" The multi-layered illusion spell of the Great Soul Sect appeared before Wang Lin's eyes, as well as the spell Yan Lu had used to summon the souls of the Great Soul Sect's ancestors.
After pondering a bit, Wang Lin walked out of the cave and stepped onto the burning mountain. He immediately saw the extremely weak Fan Shanmeng outside.
She was still standing there, and when she saw Wang Lin appear, Fan Shanmeng had a complicated expression. She was about to speak when Wang Lin walked out of the Fire Vein Mountain and walked past Fan Shanmeng.
"You!!"
Fan Shanmeng's eyes were filled with anger, but she suppressed it. She stared at Wang Lin as he left and took a deep breath. She calmed herself down and continued to wait.
She had no way out … Wang Lin turned into a ray of light and left the Fire Vein Mountain. He flew toward the depths of the Great Soul Sect. The restriction breaking jade Old Ancestor Green Bull had left behind contained a map of the Great Soul Sect. This allowed Wang Lin to clearly know where the Green Heavenly Peak was.
