In the eighth floor of the Soul Scripture Pavilion, the shocking aura from Wang Lin's body slowly dissipated until it completely disappeared. It returned to the avatar in the vast void.
Wang Lin didn't want to use the power of his avatar too much. He only needed to use it at the right time and not excessively. Otherwise, it would not benefit his avatar at all and might even wither and die.
As for borrowing the power of his avatar to enter the ninth floor, this idea had appeared in Wang Lin's mind. However, Wang Lin could vaguely feel that the pressure on the staircase to the ninth floor was extremely powerful. It wasn't that he couldn't go up, but the price was too high. It was not worth it to force his way up with his current cultivation level.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Lin gave up on the idea of entering the ninth floor. He scattered the aura of his avatar and began to carefully observe the eighth floor.
In the Soul Scripture Pavilion, one could only choose one spell. Not even Wang Lin could change this. His gaze swept past the nine seven-inch soul bodies one by one.
Wang Lin felt the Soul Origin spell, the multi-layered illusion dao, and the Soul Eye Dao that made him smile wryly inside the nine spells.
As for the other spells, Wang Lin hadn't seen anyone use them personally, but he still scanned them one by one.
The Great Soul Sect was famous for the Soul Illusion Spell. Most of the core disciples could use this multi-layered illusion spell, but in truth, they could only use three or four layers at most. They couldn't display the terrifying power of this spell. Once they reached the eighth layer, the power would be heaven-shaking.
Wang Lin's gaze stopped on the third soul body. The soul body he was looking at contained the multi-layered illusion spell.
"Only eight layers … The limit is nine layers. Without the ninth layer, it is incomplete …" Wang Lin frowned slightly.
"It looks like the complete version of this spell is on the ninth floor of the Soul Scripture Pavilion."
Wang Lin pondered and looked at the seventh soul body. The aura this soul body gave off was as powerful as the multi-layered illusion spell.
This seventh soul body contained the Soul Origin technique that Yan Lu had used before!
Moreover, this technique was extremely complete in the eighth level of the soul body.
Wang Lin pondered for a while before choosing between the two Soul Body Cultivation Techniques.
"Even if I don't go to the ninth floor now, I will definitely go there in the future. After all, I must obtain the nine-layered illusion technique!
"In that case, I don't need to make a decision right now. Besides, I have the gourd, so choosing the complete Soul Origin is the most suitable choice right now." After a while, a hint of determination flashed through Wang Lin's eyes. After he made up his mind, he didn't change his mind. He took a step forward and arrived next to the seventh soul body. He sat down cross-legged and formed a seal with his right hand before pointing at the seventh soul body floating in the sky.
The seventh soul body's body trembled and a ghostly light shined. It covered the entire eighth level and slowly floated down. It floated above the top of Wang Lin's head as if it was meditating.
Waves of smoke-like ghostly lines spread out from the seventh soul body and slowly entered Wang Lin's body through his eyes, ears, nose, and other orifices.
Wang Lin's expression was calm. The moment the smoke-like lines entered his body, there seemed to be a voice whispering in his ear. Waves of complex chants slowly imprinted themselves into his soul as if they were instinctive.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, Wang Lin had been cultivating on the eighth floor for three days. During these three days, he didn't move at all and focused on absorbing the Soul Fusion Origin from the seventh soul body.
He didn't know that his figure had been deeply imprinted in the minds of every disciple in the Great Soul Sect. He had almost become a legend.
Although there had been people in the Great Soul Sect who had entered the seventh and eighth levels, there hadn't been many of them since ancient times.
The identity and origin of this new elder named Wang became a topic of speculation among the disciples of the Great Soul Sect.
There were many speculations, but none of them matched the truth.
The few people who knew the truth wouldn't easily speak of it. Whether it was the Fan Shanmeng sisters or Old Ancestor Green Bull, none of them would speak of it.
Even Yan Lu had been suppressed by Wang Lin's aura in the Soul Scripture Pavilion and fear of Wang Lin had appeared in her dao heart. She naturally didn't want to mention anything about Wang Lin.
As for the identity of the cultivator from the Ancient Kingdom, under Ancestor Azure Bull's powerful orders, he was completely silenced.
Three days of time wasn't enough to extinguish the storm of speculation about Wang Lin. On the morning of the fourth day, when the first ray of sunlight swept across the earth, Wang Lin opened his eyes in the eighth level of the Soul Scripture Pavilion.
His eyes seemed different from before. It was as if there was a trace of mist surrounding them, making them look like a dream. Anyone who looked at them would be immersed in them, unable to free themselves.
"Soul Origin … So that's how it is …" Wang Lin murmured as he closed his eyes once more. After a long time, he let out a mouthful of foul air, stood up, and walked down the stairs.
Wang Lin walked down the stairs step by step. He went from the eighth level of the Soul Scripture Pavilion to the fifth level, the third level, and finally the first level.
"The spells of the Great Soul Sect, whether it is the Soul Eye Dao or Soul Fantasy Origin, they all require a fragment of my soul to communicate with the world and use it to cast a series of spells … No wonder I couldn't fully understand the multi-layered illusion spell back in the cave world and could only use the Ghostly Sail. Once the sail is no longer in my hand, I can't use it anymore …" Wang Lin's eyes revealed a strange light as he walked out of the Soul Scripture Pavilion.
Wang Lin flew out along the rift outside the Soul Scripture Pavilion. The moment he left, the rift outside the Green Heavenly Peak closed.
Inside the Green Heavenly Peak, Old Ancestor Green Bull looked at Wang Lin's back and let out a sigh of relief. If Wang Lin had entered the ninth floor 300 years earlier, he really wouldn't know what to do.
"The first generation ancestor divined that this Wang Lin will enter the ninth floor 300 years later. On the ninth day, the three great sects of the Green Devil Continent will join forces to destroy the Great Soul Sect and the Gui Yi Sect … Their goal is to obtain the suppressed Heavenly Bull soul under the Heavenly Bull Continent …" Old Ancestor Green Bull silently pondered and revealed a worried expression. Although he knew all of this ahead of time and had made a series of preparations, the heavens were unpredictable. He felt uneasy about the future from Wang Lin.
"The first generation ancestor founded the Great Soul Sect, and his identity is extremely mysterious. Even the later generations of ancestors don't know. However, rumor has it that my Great Soul Sect's Soul Eye Dao originally had two parts, and one of them was called the Dao Eye Soul!
"Rumor has it that the first generation ancestor was a disciple of a very powerful sect hidden on the Immortal Astral Continent. However, in his generation, there were two disciples … They inherited the Soul Eye Dao and the Dao Eye Soul, two different spells … Due to some reason, the first generation ancestor gave up the right to inherit the dao and left by himself. He came to the Heavenly Bull Continent that had just been sealed by the Celestial Ancestor and founded the Great Soul Sect here … There is also a rumor …" Esteemed Green Bull thought about the last rumor and his heart trembled. He looked up into the distance toward the Central Continent.
This last rumor was actually the result of the disciples of the Great Soul Sect gathering all the information they could find. However, because it was too shocking, it was called a rumor!
"Rumor has it that in the imperial city of the Central Continent, the Imperial Teacher is from the Mysterious Dao Lineage and learns a spell called the Dao Eye Soul …" Esteemed Green Bull silently pondered and felt very uneasy. After a long time, he let out a sigh and began to cultivate.
Wang Lin flew through the Great Soul Sect. The Great Soul Sect was very large, and he couldn't see the end at a glance. He could only see the towering mountains.
However, wherever Wang Lin passed, divine senses would spread out from the mountains and clasped their hands at Wang Lin. They were very friendly greetings.
Wang Lin's personality had always been like this. If others respected him, he would naturally respect them. Along the way, he clasped his hands at his fellow sect members before returning to his burning mountain.
Outside the mountain, Fan Shanmeng was still there. She was tired and didn't dare to leave.
As he closed in on the mountain, Wang Lin's gaze swept past Fan Shanmeng. His expression was calm, and the moment he stepped onto the mountain, his voice echoed.
"Come in, this cave mountain is still a bit messy. Clean it up and find a cave to live in. Be ready to be summoned at any time!"
Fan Shanmeng lowered her head and nodded. She clenched her teeth and walked into the burning mountain. The heat wave hit her face and she began to sweat even more. It took a long time for her to endure it. She viciously looked at Wang Lin's departing figure and suppressed the resentment in her heart. She followed Wang Lin's orders and began to clean up the caves on the mountain.
Wang Lin returned to the cave at the top of the mountain and sat down. He waved his right hand and three boxes appeared. These three boxes were the three gifts Esteemed Green Bull had given him.
"The Great Soul Sect seems to be treating me pretty well. I can really consider staying here for a while before going to find Teacher …"
"I don't have a complete understanding of Master's situation, but I believe that there will definitely be people who don't accept my sudden arrival, or perhaps there will be conflicts … If that's the case, I have to increase my cultivation before I go find Master!"
At Wang Lin's cultivation level, he could vaguely sense some of the dangers in the future. Although it was not as clear as those who divined the changes in the world, it was still a form of assurance.
He had a vague feeling that there was a calamity of his own in the Ancient Dao that was slowly forming.
"As long as my cultivation level is high enough, none of these calamities will be a problem!
Let's see what kind of gift the person who divined that I would come here left for me! "Wang Lin's eyes lit up and his gaze fell on the first box.
"The sound of the renovation is too annoying. I ask for monthly votes to be at ease!"
"Countdown to 300 Alliances, the glory of the Celestial Renegade begins a new chapter.
"Thank you for the Sorrow Mineral Water, Rich Child, Peach Blossom, and Clear Eyes. Fellow Cultivator is the Celestial Renegade Alliance Leader and has achieved the glory of the Celestial Renegade Alliance. Thank you very much. I will send you Greedy Wolf's followers and treasures!"
