Esteemed Green Bull's eyes narrowed and he silently pondered. The ninth floor of the Soul Scripture Pavilion was the strongest spell in the Great Soul Sect. It was fine to pass it on to Wang Lin, but the first generation ancestor had said that Wang Lin would enter the ninth floor in 300 years.
While pondering, Esteemed Green Bull suddenly said, "The Soul Scripture Pavilion has a tenth floor!"
Wang Lin's expression was calm, but his pupils shrank slightly.
"Even I can't enter the 10th floor. Only the first generation ancestor of the Great Soul Sect can enter that floor. That is where he died!" Esteemed Green Bull slowly said, and after he finished speaking, he silently pondered once more.
Wang Lin also silently pondered. He couldn't guess the purpose of Esteemed Green Bull's words.
After a long time, about 15 minutes, Esteemed Green Bull looked into the distance and spoke once more.
"Your contribution isn't enough to obtain the complete ninth floor's multi-layered illusion spell … Wang Lin waved his right hand and a jade appeared in his hand. He handed it to Esteemed Green Bull.
"Is it enough with this?"
Esteemed Green Bull frowned and looked at Wang Lin. He took the jade and his divine sense entered it. His expression immediately changed as he looked at Wang Lin once more. Then he focused on the jade.
It wasn't until he finished looking at the situation of Wang Lin's Celestial Slaying Pill that Esteemed Green Bull took a deep breath. His gaze toward Wang Lin immediately became strange.
With his cultivation level, he was naturally able to determine that everything in the jade was true. Combined with the changes he had divined and the reports from the spies he had arranged, he clearly connected everything that had happened in the Pill Sea in his mind.
In particular, although Wang Lin's injuries had recovered 80% to 80%, there was still a trace of them that couldn't be healed in a short period of time. All of this showed the truth of the jade.
"Good, good, good!"
Esteemed Green Bull held the jade and laughed. He waved his left hand and a powerful surge of origin energy entered Wang Lin's body. Popping sounds echoed and Wang Lin's injuries instantly healed!
"You've done a great service this time!
My Great Soul Sect must reward those who contribute. I can give you the complete multi-layered illusion spell in the ninth floor!
But you have to promise me something! "
Esteemed Green Bull's eyes shined as he looked at Wang Lin. The more he looked, the more he appreciated Wang Lin. The first generation ancestor was indeed worthy of being the founding ancestor of the Great Soul Sect. The person he chose had such courage and courage!
"What conditions?
Wang Lin didn't show the slightest bit of complacency because of Esteemed Green Bull's words. He looked at him calmly and said slowly.
"After killing 10 early stage Void Tribulant cultivators and three mid stage Void Tribulant cultivators, I entered the ninth and tenth floors of the Soul Scripture Pavilion!
Do these three things and you can leave the Great Soul Sect! "
After he spoke, Wang Lin was startled and silently pondered. On the way back, he indeed had the intention to leave. He was going to help the Great Soul Sect do some things and then choose to avoid this war.
After all, his goal was the Dong Lin Sect and the distant Ancient Dao, so he couldn't stay in the Heavenly Bull Continent for too long. Adding on this war, he had some speculations in his heart, so he didn't want to get too involved.
Esteemed Green Bull had obviously seen through this, but he didn't force Wang Lin to stay. Instead, he stated the three conditions, which made Wang Lin think of the three gifts.
After pondering for a long time, Wang Lin looked up at Esteemed Green Bull and nodded!
No matter what the Great Soul Sect was after, they had helped him first. With Wang Lin's personality, he would repay them.
Although it would be difficult to repay him with these three conditions, he believed that it was still possible for him to accomplish them.
Seeing Wang Lin nod, Esteemed Green Bull smiled and no longer spoke. He waved his sleeve and an ancient jade flew out toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin caught it. Inside was the Great Soul Sect's most powerful spell, the complete mantra for the first to ninth layers of the multi-layered illusion spell.
"To cultivate this spell, you need to refine the Ghostly Sail. Now that the war is about to begin, I'll give you all the materials. However, you will have to choose the souls needed to refine the Ghostly Sail. If there isn't a suitable one, you can go to the ghost peak to find one."
As Esteemed Green Bull spoke, he reached at the void and a ball of light appeared in his hand. There were a lot of refining materials inside, and he handed it to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin waved his sleeve and put the ball of light inside. He got up and clasped his hands at Esteemed Green Bull before leaving.
"You don't have much time. In seven days, I'll send you and a few elders to guard one of the seven meridians of the Heavenly Bull!"
Esteemed Green Bull's words echoed in Wang Lin's ears. He didn't look back as he left the Green Heavenly Peak.
Wang Lin flew back to his own mountain. When Wang Lin left, the fire inside the mountain seemed to have extinguished, but it was still red. However, when Wang Lin landed on the mountain, the mountain burned with a sea of fire once more and a thunderous rumble echoed.
Fan Shanmeng immediately opened her eyes. There was a hint of panic in her eyes as she bit her lower lip. She waited for a while but didn't see Wang Lin summon her, and she felt a little uneasy.
At this moment, Wang Lin had no time to pay attention to Fan Shanmeng. He arrived at his cave and sat down. A ball of light flew out from his sleeve and with a point of his finger, the materials needed to refine the Ghostly Sail appeared inside the cave.
These materials looked different, but each one was extremely precious. After all, they had been gifted by Esteemed Green Bull, so they were of excellent quality.
Looking at these materials, the ancient jade containing the multi-layered illusion spell appeared in Wang Lin's right hand. His divine sense entered it and he memorized all the contents of the spell, including the method to refine the Ghostly Sail.
According to the records in the jade, the Ghostly Sail was called Ghostly Sail. It was divided into five grades: beginner, intermediate, high, extreme, and extreme. Each grade corresponded to two layers of illusion spells.
In the Great Soul Sect, most disciples only had beginner grade Ghostly Sails. Only elders or core disciples who were highly valued were gifted mid-grade Ghostly Sails by their masters.
Fan Shanmeng's Ghostly Sail was a mid-grade Ghostly Sail, and it was gifted to her by Yan Lu.
Generally speaking, a mid-grade Ghostly Sail was extremely powerful. If used well, it could ignore one's cultivation level!
This could be proven by Fan Shanmeng's hands!
If one had a high-grade or even extreme grade Ghostly Sail with the multi-layered illusion spell, the power would be terrifying!
As for extreme grade, it was too difficult to refine. There was only one extreme grade Ghostly Sail in the entire Great Soul Sect!
This Ghostly Sail was the sect protection formation of the Great Soul Sect!
From what Wang Lin could see, this formation wasn't at its peak, only a portion of its power had been activated.
These things were recorded in the jade, and it also contained Wang Lin's own judgment. Only then did they clearly appear in his mind.
"The Ghostly Sail requires a soul to complete the refinement, but this soul … doesn't only need a cultivator, and it doesn't matter if one's cultivation level is higher … It must be a dead soul …" Wang Lin frowned. This was the first time he had heard of the term "dead soul."
According to the introduction in the jade slip, a dead soul was an existence that could not be seen or even be sensed by others at the moment of death due to all kinds of obsessions, unwillingness, or resentment of humans or beasts.
If there was more, it would become a useless soul. If there was less, it wouldn't be able to condense, so it was very difficult to obtain. Since ancient times, countless people in the Great Soul Sect had studied these dead souls. They slowly found a method to refine them before a person or beast died.
However, the dead soul refined with this method lacked the tempering of time, so no matter what cultivation level it came from, it could only be used to make beginner grade Ghostly Sails. At most, it would be a mid-grade Ghostly Sail.
This was because these dead souls could only withstand three or four layers of illusions at most. If there were too many, they wouldn't be able to withstand it and would collapse.
"This dead soul can be considered a kind of will … Only with a strong will that has been tempered over time can it withstand more than four layers of illusions … The principle of the multi-layered illusion clearly requires this will. This will is used as nourishment to create layers of illusions to make the target lose themselves. The stronger the will, the stronger the illusion!" Wang Lin pondered and slowly understood the structure of the multi-layered illusion.
His eyes were filled with admiration. This spell had its own ingenuity and mystery. If one didn't see the complete spell, it would be very difficult to figure it out.
"The person who created this spell must be someone with amazing talent!"
Wang Lin looked at the jade in his hand and let out a sigh.
In truth, this spell was very easy to understand. Wang Lin remembered that when he was young, before he came into contact with cultivation, he would occasionally hear stories from the adults in the village about some house being haunted.
Often, at this time, the family would go to the county to invite some people to dispel the ghosts and bring peace of mind.
In Wang Lin's house, he remembered something similar had happened when he was young. He had forgotten about it, but now that the principle of the multi-layered illusion triggered his memory, he remembered.
"The theory of haunting is mostly of the psychedelic type. It makes people see some strange scenes and immerse themselves in it, unable to extricate themselves. Thus, there is the theory of haunting.
Haunting represents restlessness, movement, and chaos. But at the same time, it is also a manifestation of psychological uneasiness and irritation. "
Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he looked at the jade in his hand.
It wasn't until he became a cultivator that he thought about it. The so-called haunting was just a kind of resentment that existed in the world. At a certain moment, it affected the minds of some people, causing their inner uneasiness and turmoil. Naturally, ghosts appeared and a series of illusions appeared.
This was the deepest core of the multi-layered illusion!
It was also the origin of the illusion!
"The so-called multi-layered illusion is actually so simple … How is this an illusion? This is a method of using ghosts to create people!
It sounds simple, but in fact, to be able to think of this method, to turn this phenomenon into a magical spell or even a Dao technique, I have to respect the person who created it! "Wang Lin's eyes showed enlightenment.
