The Purple Palace Sea of Knowledge in front of Wang Lin was like a giant ball. Its size was impossible to estimate. The two halves of the ball were clearly separated. One half was blood red and the other half was grey.
The blood-red half was obviously the Blood Sea, while the other half was the Dead Knowledge Sea.
Looking at the strange ball in front of him, Wang Lin's eyes lit up. The battle between the Ancient God Tu Si and the red-haired man was earth-shattering. They used the body of the Ancient God as the battlefield to kill each other. In the end, the Ancient God Tu Si was defeated because he was only left with his divine sense. However, he was able to split his Sea of Knowledge in two. One side was the Dead Soul Sea, preventing anyone from obtaining the inheritance of knowledge. The other side was the Blood Sea, sealing the red-haired man inside.
Seeing this scene, Wang Lin couldn't help but admire Six Desire Devil Lord's teacher, Sky Devil Magician. This person could be said to be a genius. He was able to think of using the Ancient God's desire as a catalyst and the god's bone as a guide. Using this method, he spent thousands of years to temporarily open a path to the Dead Soul Sea.
Unfortunately, if it wasn't for the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared, Sky Devil Magician would have already inherited all of the Ancient God's memories.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He took a step forward and charged toward the Dead Soul Sea.
As soon as his body got close to the grey area, a grey mist suddenly spread out from it, preventing him from moving forward. This mist contained an invisible force.
Wang Lin's body flashed and continued to charge in another direction. However, no matter where he went, the grey mist would suddenly appear. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't penetrate the grey mist.
Wang Lin pondered for a while. He slapped his bag of holding and drank a mouthful of spirit liquid. Then he sat cross-legged in the air and began to cultivate. His eyes lit up and his hands continued to change seals. In the blink of an eye, several illusionary circles appeared in front of him.
The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and his hands moved faster and faster. The number of restrictive spells in front of him also increased. After a long time, Wang Lin's hands suddenly stopped. Then, he crossed his hands and pressed them forward.
Suddenly, the illusionary restrictions turned into rings that quickly spread forward. Shortly afterward, Wang Lin's body jumped up. He placed his right hand on his chest and his left hand on his right shoulder. His hands formed a strange seal as he slowly took a step forward.
Instantly, a black glow shot out from the foot he had just stepped forward. It rapidly spread up his body, until it reached his chest. It split into two, then traveled down his arms to the incantation mark on his hands.
In the blink of an eye, a black sphere the size of a head emitted numerous illusory tentacles and condensed in front of Wang Lin.
"Ancient God.
Break! "
Wang Lin let out a low roar. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he swung his hands to the side and took another step forward with his right foot. The black sphere immediately charged forward like lightning. It quickly caught up to the rings of restrictions and charged at the grey fog.
This Lucky God Break was the only spell that Wang Lin could immediately use after reading the Ancient God Tactic. The power of this spell wasn't an attack spell, but it used a large amount of spiritual energy to forcefully break through all restrictions.
The large mouthful of spiritual liquid that Wang Lin had drunk had been transformed by the Ancient God Break into the black sphere.
At the same time, Wang Lin's body suddenly charged forward like a shooting star.
The first thing that came into contact with the grey fog were the illusionary restrictions that Wang Lin had used. When they landed on the fog, they were like red-hot iron hooks falling into snow. The grey fog immediately melted away.
However, the moment the fog dissipated, it was immediately replaced by a large amount of fog. It was simply endless. Looking at it with the naked eye, not only did the fog not decrease, but it also increased, forming a huge layer of fog that looked like a mushroom.
Behind the afterimage of the restriction was the black ball condensed by Ji Shenpo. The ball with countless flame-like tentacles on it immediately shattered the moment it touched the fog. The moment it shattered, four waves of air suddenly appeared and spread out in all directions as they intersected with each other.
As a result, a gap was opened in the dense fog. Looking through the gap, one couldn't see the bottom. At this moment, Wang Lin's body turned into a shooting star and charged into the gap.
After the four waves of air pushed out hundreds of feet, they were surrounded by a large amount of fog. Gradually, they couldn't take it anymore and started to shrink back. As a result, the gap became smaller and smaller. Before long, the gap would disappear along with the collapse of the waves of air.
Wang Lin's speed was extremely fast. He quickly passed through the gap and saw the gap gradually shrink. However, this was not the time to retreat. If there was even the slightest possibility, Wang Lin didn't plan on carrying out the final plan in his heart.
Seeing that the waves of air around him had shrunk a lot, but the gap in front of him was still so deep that he couldn't see the bottom. Wang Lin's eyes flashed and he drank another mouthful of spiritual liquid. He put his palms together and chanted in a low voice. When he suddenly opened his palms, another black sphere of light appeared before him.
Without a word, he grabbed the sphere and threw it to the side. Instantly, the sphere shattered, and the waves of air around him seemed to have been injected with life and once again pushed out in all directions.
Wang Lin knew that time was of the essence. Every time he used the Ancient Divinity Break, it would be a huge burden on his body.
If he used it less than three times, the burden wouldn't be too obvious. However, if he used it more than three times, and before he cultivated the Ancient Divinity Incantation, it would cause some harm to his body.
After all, the Ancient Divinity Break was based on the Auspicious Divinity Incantation. Right now, Wang Lin was relying on the boundless spiritual power in the spiritual liquid.
His body flickered as he continued onward. The waves of air around him couldn't withstand the roar of the gray fog and began to shrink again. By this time, Wang Lin had finally reached the bottom of the fog.
With a single glance, Wang Lin smiled bitterly, then turned around and left. At the bottom of the fog was an unending layer of lightning. Bursts of violet lightning flickered everywhere. If he tried to enter it, he would definitely be killed in body and soul.
Also, under the layer of lightning, Wang Lin saw a black sea. Clouds churned on the surface of the sea. Occasionally, there would be creatures that looked like dragons but weren't flood dragons. They would coldly stare at Wang Lin through the layer of lightning.
This was not a place that Wang Lin could enter by force. He was afraid that before he could even enter the Dead Sea, he would be buried here. Wang Lin was a decisive person. Seeing that the situation wasn't good, he immediately retreated.
When the surrounding waves of air collapsed and the gap was about to be sealed, Wang Lin charged out. He was in the air, looking down at the thick, gray fog below him. His face was gloomy.
If he couldn't enter the Dead Soul Sea, he wouldn't be able to leave the Auspicious Divinity Incantation. However, with his own strength, it was impossible for him to enter. In fact, not even Six Desire Devil Lord and the others had the ability to enter the Dead Soul Sea.
There was only one person who could enter the Ancient Divinity Incantation, and that was the red haired man who inherited the Ancient Divinity Incantation.
Wang Lin pondered a little. His eyes lit up as he stared at the other half of the giant sphere, which was the Blood Sea.
The red haired man was sealed here. As long as he could come out, then breaking the Dead Soul Sea would be a piece of cake. It could even be said that compared to breaking the Dead Soul Sea, the red haired man's desire was much higher than Wang Lin's.
After all, inside the Dead Soul Sea was the inheritance of knowledge that he dreamed of. Once he obtained it, he would be able to complete the final inheritance and become a new Ancient Divinity Incantation.
Wang Lin stared at the Blood Sea. Gradually, he revealed a smile. Through the various signs from before, Wang Lin had already guessed that it was because he was a foreign soul that these demonic cultivators were madly searching for him.
Then what was the reason they were searching for him?
A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He thought of the wandering soul that was about to become a Fragrant Soul. The appearance of such a huge wandering soul defied common sense.
As a Soul Devourer, Wang Lin knew that in the Nirvana Realm, there were clear boundaries between the Soul Devourers. If there was a wandering soul evolving into a Soul Devourer, then the Soul Devourer would not allow it to evolve. They would devour the wandering soul before it could evolve.
Unless there were no Fragrant Souls around, the wandering soul would not be able to evolve. Since there were already Soul Devourers in the third trial, the appearance of such a huge wandering soul did not make sense. It was highly likely that it had been forcefully interfered with by an external force under certain special circumstances.
Especially when he thought of the strange state the Fragrant Soul was in, as if it was in a deep sleep and did not notice anything happening around it.
As such, Wang Lin had a vague answer in his heart.
The Fragrant Soul's deep sleep was obviously man-made. The goal was to allow the wandering soul to evolve into another Fragrant Soul. All of this clearly revealed that the other party had a grand plan.
This plan required two Fragrant Souls to complete.
This was the only way to explain why the demonic cultivators began to search for him like crazy the moment they realized he was a Fragrant Soul.
After all, according to Wang Lin's analysis, it would take a long time for the Fragrant Soul to evolve.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. The last question before him was, who were these demonic cultivators working for?
Hunchback Meng's resurrection, there must be some shocking secret behind it.
There was also Duanmu Ji and Wang Qingyue's capture. As Wang Lin analyzed, all of these mysteries became more and more clear, as if they were about to dissipate and reveal the secret behind them.
Wang Lin stared at the Blood Sea with a calm expression. If there was someone in the Ancient God's body who had the ability to control these demonic cultivators, then it was the red-haired man who had obtained the inheritance of power and was trapped in the Blood Sea!
If it really was that person, then the reason he was looking for the two Fragrant Souls was clear. Aside from helping him escape the Blood Sea seal, Wang Lin had no other choice.
Wang Lin pondered a little. His eyes became cold as he looked at the Blood Sea again. He pointed at his brow and his body immediately became illusionary as he entered the heaven defying bead's space.
Inside the heaven defying bead's space, Wang Lin went to see Situ Nan and his parents. Then he sat down in a place where there were fewer glowing objects. Ever since he entered the Core Formation stage, he could no longer enter the heaven defying bead's space with spiritual energy fluctuations. This phenomenon had clearly changed.
Wang Lin didn't plan on finding the red-haired man to open the Dead Soul Sea unless it was absolutely necessary. Now that he had obtained the Ancient God Tactic and had a lot of treasures that could increase his cultivation level, Wang Lin planned on going into closed door cultivation to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and focused his Soul Consciousness on the three characters of Ji Shen's inheritance of knowledge in his Sea of Consciousness. Gradually, lines of complex and incomprehensible chants appeared in his mind.
The first level of the Ancient God Tactic was divided into three stages: Spirit Seizing, Spirit Conversion, and Spirit Transformation.
Every Ancient God, from the moment they were born, their body would automatically circulate the first level chant. However, when they grew up, the first level would reach the Spirit Transformation stage. At this time, if they broke through to the second level, they would be able to absorb the energy of the planet they were on. If they couldn't, then the baby would continue to sleep. Once they passed a certain time limit, the golden liquid surrounding their body would dissipate and they would lose the protection from others. Then, there would only be one outcome, and that was to be discovered and devoured.
After studying the first level chant for a long time, Wang Lin let out a sigh. He opened his eyes and revealed a contemplative expression. Through studying this cultivation method, Wang Lin knew one of the reasons why the Ancient Gods' bodies were so large.
Ancient Gods focused on refining their bodies and rarely used magic treasures. It could be said that their bodies were the best magic treasures, and their hardness was no worse than some legendary magic treasures.
The main point of the Ancient God Tactic was to use all of the spiritual energy obtained to strengthen the body. Once the body reached its limit, it would need to expand its body, otherwise its cultivation would stagnate. The larger the body, the more spiritual energy it would need. Once the body reached a certain size, the Ancient God would undergo a body reconstruction. This was a qualitative change.
The more times an Ancient God was reborn, the stronger their cultivation would be, and the stronger their body would be.
At the same time, each reconstruction would increase the strength of their divine sense. Among the Ancient Gods, there was no division of cultivation. The Ancient God's cultivation was focused on the divine sense and the body.
The body was the weapon, and the divine sense was the arm that controlled the weapon. As a result, it formed the nearly invincible Ancient God Clan.
In ancient times, the Ancient Gods were glorious, but in the end, they were lost in the river of time. Now, they had disappeared without a trace and only existed in some ancient records.
From Wang Lin's point of view, if he could use the spiritual energy he absorbed to increase his cultivation level, then the speed would naturally be very fast.
After pondering a bit, he took out his bag of holding. After checking it, he took out an item.
This was a Cultivation Pill. It was a pill formed from the cultivation of a mid stage Core Formation cultivator after he was hit by the Ten Thousand Devil Hundred Day Kill Order.
Without saying anything, Wang Lin threw the Cultivation Pill into his mouth. The moment the Cultivation Pill entered his mouth, it turned into boundless spiritual energy that crazily burst out from his body.
Wang Lin immediately followed the Soul-Stealing Technique in the first level of the Ancient God Technique. He formed a seal with both hands and began to meditate.
The spiritual energy that burst out from the Cultivation Pill was immediately absorbed by the Soul-Stealing Technique. Finally, the moment it was integrated into his body, it was stopped by Wang Lin and completely filled up his Golden Core.
Waves of spiritual energy rotated in his Golden Core and turned into small spiral hurricanes that quickly traveled through his meridians. In the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, all the spiritual energy contained in the Cultivation Pill had disappeared.
If Wang Lin didn't have the Spirit Stealing Technique, he would need to cultivate for several months or even years to digest a cultivation pill. At most, he would only be able to absorb 70% to 80% of the pill. The rest would be consumed in an invisible manner.
Although this time was shortened in the heaven defying bead space, it still took a lot of time. But now, it was equivalent to an instant in the real world. The entire Cultivation Pill was completely absorbed by him.
The Golden Core rotated rhythmically, causing waves of spiritual energy to flow through his body. Wang Lin opened his eyes, which were shining brightly. A Cultivation Pill had allowed his cultivation to reach the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation Realm. He was only one step away from the late-stage.
Wang Lin put his right hand into his storage bag and took out bottles of elixirs that Li Muwan had refined. He put them in his mouth one by one. Time passed quickly. These elixirs would dissipate as soon as they came into contact with the Soul-Stealing Technique. Finally, the moment his body was strengthened, Wang Lin stopped them and let the Golden Core absorb them.
As a result, his cultivation increased rapidly. Soon, he broke through the mid-stage Core Formation Realm and entered the late-stage Core Formation Realm.
Next, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he decisively took out the most precious item in his storage bag. It was the marrow extracted from the body of the ten-thousand-foot long dragon!
The marrow of the ten-thousand-foot long dragon was only the size of a white jade bottle. This showed how precious it was. This was the most precious elixir that Wang Lin had obtained so far. He hesitated for a moment, then opened the white jade bottle and took a sip. His body suddenly emitted a hot feeling and the Soul-Stealing Technique was activated. Time passed slowly. Wang Lin could clearly feel that his Golden Core was getting bigger and bigger. Its color became more dazzling and the speed at which it rotated became faster.
After this mouthful of marrow was absorbed, Wang Lin took another sip.
One day, two days, three days … Three months later, Wang Lin was meditating almost all the time in the heaven defying bead space. The Soul-Stealing Technique in his body was constantly operating.
There were less than ten drops of marrow fluid left in the white jade bottle. The Golden Core inside his body was almost the size of two fists. The color of the Golden Core was almost gold with a hint of red. Every time it rotated, his meridians would ache. However, he still hadn't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
A month ago, Wang Lin took the Nascent Establishing Elixir that could increase his chances of forming his Nascent Soul. Unfortunately, this elixir only made the Golden Core red. There was no sign that the Golden Core would break and transform into a Nascent Soul.
After pondering for a while, Wang Lin let out a sigh. He didn't know if others were like him when forming their Nascent Soul, but from his point of view, forming his Nascent Soul was much more difficult than he had imagined.
At this moment, there were very few elixirs left in his bag of holding. There wasn't much spiritual liquid left either. After pondering for a while, Wang Lin got up and went to where Situ Nan and his parents were. He kowtowed to them a few times and was startled for a while. Then, he got up and pointed between his eyebrows. He immediately entered the heaven defying bead space.
Outside of the Sea of Knowledge, Wang Lin's body gradually solidified. He stared at the Sea of Knowledge and sighed. Originally, he planned to enter the Ancient God's body if he was lucky enough to reach the Nascent Soul Stage. Maybe he could use the inheritance of knowledge to leave the Ancient God's body the moment he entered.
But now, he couldn't be sure.
After pondering for a while, Wang Lin raised his head. His eyes became cold. Right now, there was only one path in front of him. If he didn't want to be trapped here forever and have to hide from the demonic cultivators, then there was only one way.
His right hand reached out, tore open a rift, and entered it. When he reappeared, he had already left the Ancestral Chakra and appeared somewhere between it and the Qi Sea Chakra.
After he appeared, he hesitated for a moment, then performed an incantation gesture with both hands. A few beams of light shot out in the area, causing cracks to appear. Then, he spread out his divine sense. As a result, the devilish cultivators who had been bitterly searching for him in the area immediately discovered his presence and began to fly toward him.
Soon, the demonic cultivators appeared one by one around Wang Lin. They stared at Wang Lin with grins on their faces. One of them was Hunchback Meng. When he saw Wang Lin, a sense of disgust appeared in his heart. Without a word, he reached out his right hand and tried to grab Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's expression was normal and his eyes were calm. The moment Hunchback Meng reached out his hand, he sneered, "You don't want to break your master's seal?"
After Wang Lin said those words, although the demonic cultivators' expressions were normal, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Hunchback Meng was startled and his right hand involuntarily stopped.
This pause was noticed by Wang Lin. He immediately confirmed that his guess was correct. Right now he only needed to prove one thing, and that was that the master of these demonic cultivators was the red-haired man sealed in the Blood Sea.
Hunchback Meng's face was gloomy. He let out a cold snort and his right hand moved even faster toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's eyes became cold and he didn't move. He had already set up a seal around the area. If the demonic cultivator reached out to grab him, the surrounding cracks would immediately tear open and take him away from this place.
After all, in terms of familiarity with the Ancient God's body, no one could compare to him, who had received part of the inheritance of knowledge.
His mind was calm. If the demonic cultivator didn't try to stop him after he made his move, then it meant that he had made a mistake. The demonic cultivator didn't care if the soul was dead or alive.
Just as Hunchback Meng's right hand reached out, a cold voice came.
"Stop!"
The moment the voice came, Hunchback Meng was thrown back as if he was grabbed by an invisible hand. After coughing out a few mouthfuls of black blood, he knelt on the ground. His face didn't reveal any resentment, but respectfully said, "Greetings, Lord Dou Mu."
At the same time, all of the surrounding demonic cultivators also knelt on the ground.
At this moment, the middle-aged man who ruined Sky Devil Magician's plan appeared 10 feet away from Wang Lin. His cold eyes stared at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's eyes were calm as he stared back at him.
"You really are a soul devourer. Very good, follow me!"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he waved his right hand in the air. Suddenly, a huge crack about a thousand feet long suddenly appeared in the air.
Today I clenched my teeth and wrote 6000 words. I feel like my body is getting better. Tomorrow I'll see if I can reach 9000 words. As for the monthly votes, it's fine if you don't want to give it, but the recommendation votes are a big deal. Brothers and sisters, can you give me some?
