Wang Lin didn't immediately attempt the remaining palaces. If he wanted to attract the attention of the Grand Empyreans as quickly as possible, then the Empyrean Trial was the best choice.
However, he still had another thing to do, so he pondered a bit. As the four palaces connected, Wang Lin's figure descended from the fourth palace under the gazes of all the Empyrean Exalts below.
Almost all the cultivators below looked at Wang Lin's descending figure. Just like the shock Empyrean Exalt Zhu Lin had caused before, even Empyrean Exalt Zhu Lin's pupils shrank as he stared at Wang Lin.
In his view, Wang Lin was a bit different from ordinary cultivators. Anyone who attempted the Empyrean Trial, even if they knew they couldn't pass the next palace, they would still try. Once they knew the difficulty, they could continue cultivating based on the difficulty and their own shortcomings.
However, after Wang Lin passed the fourth palace, he didn't pay any attention to the fifth palace. Others might not have noticed this, but after Empyrean Exalt Zhu Lin noticed it, he felt dread toward Wang Lin.
"If it isn't because he doesn't have the slightest bit of confidence in passing through the fifth level, then in his opinion, it doesn't matter if he looks at the fifth level or not, as long as he wants to, he can easily pass through it … As for whether it's the former or the latter … I hope it's the latter!"
When Wang Lin landed on the ground, many of the surrounding Empyrean Exalts clasped their hands and congratulated him. Most of these people were people Wang Lin had fought in the last 50 years, so they were familiar with each other.
There were also some people they hadn't met but wanted to befriend.
Wang Lin smiled gently at all the people who came to congratulate him and clasped his hands one by one.
"Fellow cultivators, Wang still has important matters to attend to, so he'll be leaving first. If he has time, he'll come back for a chat. Goodbye!"
Wang Lin turned into a ray of light and charged toward the ancient transfer array he had come from. His body turned into fog and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It wasn't until he disappeared that the surrounding Empyrean Exalts withdrew their gazes. Those who knew each other began to talk with their divine senses.
"This person obviously didn't use his full strength. Looking at how easily he passed the first four palaces, I'm sure this white-haired Empyrean Exalt can at least pass the seventh palace!"
"Not necessarily. I fought with him 30 years ago. The fourth palace should be his limit!"
"It's hard to say. Although 30 years is a short period of time, if there are any opportunities, it can allow us Empyrean Exalts to improve. Let's wait and see, he comes to the Empyrean Exalts Trial a second time."
Putting aside the divine sense conversations of the many Empyrean Exalts here, in the Mountain Sea Continent, Wang Lin, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. There was a flash of strange light in his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, the Golden Exalt sea dragon guarding his body revealed a look of joy. Its shrunken body circled around Wang Lin and it let out an intimate hiss.
Wang Lin raised his right hand and patted the sea dragon's head a few times. He looked at the surrounding restrictions. He had deliberately left a Time Restriction among them. Through this restriction, Wang Lin could determine when he would leave.
"It's the same time as in the Empyrean Trial, there's no change." Wang Lin stood up and stepped forward. The Golden Exalt sea dragon immediately followed.
One person and one dragon instantly appeared outside the cave. At this moment, it was night and the moon hung high in the sky. The gentle moonlight shined on the surface of the sea. As the waves churned, the moonlight gave off a silvery sheen.
The sound of waves crashing echoed in his ears and the sea breeze blew by. Wang Lin's white hair fluttered in the wind. His white hair was particularly bright under the moonlight, as if it could refract the moonlight.
Looking at the Mountain Sea, Wang Lin silently pondered for a moment before he stepped onto the Golden Exalt sea dragon. The sea dragon let out a roar and charged toward the Mountain Sea.
For cultivators that had reached the Empyrean Exalt level, aside from the Grand Empyreans and the 48 Ascendant Empyreans, they could go anywhere in the 72 continents. They could step on 99% of the sects and could be said to stand at the peak of the celestial clan!
Even those sealed ancient souls could put up a fight when they were sealed!
Just like now, Wang Lin was going to take the Mountain Sea Tree that supported the entire Mountain Sea. Before he had the power of an Empyrean Exalt, this would have been impossible.
In particular, there was Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi, who could fuse 70 spells into her finger.
But now Wang Lin could!
The Golden-Exalted Sea Dragon moved with incredible speed. It was not flying through the air, but rather, as soon as it entered the Mountains and Seas, its body flickered as if it were a part of the sea itself. It was a Sea Dragon, and in the Mountains and Seas, it was like a fish in water.
It caused a series of sharp whistling sounds that spread in all directions in the silent night.
"The Heavenly Bull soul armor can't last for too long. Even now, it can only last half an hour. Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi is very strong, but with my soul armor and the Rapid Spell Art, it is impossible for her to defeat me!
"However, if I want to defeat her, it's not something I can do in a short period of time, so I have to do this!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and the sea dragon moved even faster. It charged into the depths of the Mountain Sea.
The ripples it caused swept up the seawater, forming a boundless whirlpool. It was incredibly powerful, causing the seawater to roar endlessly. Countless sea beasts were alarmed by the sea dragon's might, and they immediately retreated, not daring to get any closer.
It didn't take long for Wang Lin to close in on the sea dragon. Just as he was about to reach the center of the Mountain Sea, a monstrous wave appeared before him. It was as if a giant wall of water had appeared out of nowhere and stopped the sea dragon from moving forward.
Ferociousness appeared in the sea dragon's eyes, and its huge head slammed into the wall of water. Loud rumbling sounds echoed in the air, and the wall of water collapsed under the force of the sea dragon's charge. At the same time, the seawater behind the wall of water suddenly exploded as if it was boiling.
Gigantic tentacles that brought with them a sticky liquid shot out from the exploding seawater. As they intersected with each other and squirmed about, an island that was about one hundred thousand feet big rose from the surface of the sea.
It looked like an island. However, if one were to look at it from a close distance, it wouldn't look like an island at all. Instead, it looked like a huge octopus sea beast. An aura equivalent to that of a Golden Exalt cultivator suddenly erupted from the body of this octopus sea beast.
As the sea beast floated to the surface, an absolutely beautiful woman was revealed standing on its head. This woman wore a green dress. Although her figure was hidden by the dress, one could still see the curves that were enough to make one's heart beat faster. She held a dark green flute in her hand, and her long hair was casually tied behind her head. Her bright eyes revealed a soul-stirring beauty.
On the forehead of her pretty face was a five-colored starfish, which seemed to be embellishment, making this woman's beauty blossom like a wondrous flower of heaven and earth.
"Wang Lin, what are you doing here!?
Although I have no use for the Mountain Sea Tree Spirit, I can't let you take it away! "The woman frowned as she stared at Wang Lin, who had broken through the wall of water and was standing on the sea dragon.
The sea dragon roared, but it wasn't at the woman. Instead, it was at the octopus sea beast under the woman. There was a pair of gloomy eyes on the giant sea beast's body, and it was also staring at the sea dragon.
It was clear that these two overlords of the sea had not met for the first time. They had fought before.
"The Mountain Sea Tree Spirit is very useful to Wang, and I don't need all of it. Just a portion is enough. It is useless to you, and it won't affect the changes of the Mountain Sea, so why are you making things difficult for me!?
"Also, this thing doesn't belong to you, Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi. Instead, it was sealed here by the Celestial Ancestor. Just because this place is your cave, do you think you can take it for yourself?!"
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he stood on the back of the sea dragon. He looked at the beautiful woman and slowly spoke.
Wang Lin had seen this woman's beauty three years ago. Her beauty could be considered peerless. In Wang Lin's life, she was the only one who could compare to Mu Bingmei in terms of beauty!
And as an Empyrean Exalt, she had a unique temperament.
"I'm here, and everything in the Mountain Sea is mine!
If you can defeat me, you can naturally take it away, but can you?
Three years ago, you used your true body and couldn't even take three attacks from me. Now, it has only been three years, yet you still want to humiliate me. How presumptuous! "The beautiful woman raised her chin and coldly looked at Wang Lin. She raised her right hand and pointed forward.
With this, the world changed colors and the sea roared. 70 giant vortexes appeared around her and Wang Lin. Each vortex contained one of her spells.
She used her strongest spell right away. It was clear that she wanted to defeat Wang Lin with one move!
Wang Lin's expression was calm. The moment the woman raised her jade-like finger, there was a flash of ghostly light. The Heavenly Bull soul armor that he had hidden appeared and instantly surrounded Wang Lin's body.
The Heavenly Bull soul armor had appeared once more after more than 50 years!!!
The moment the Heavenly Bull soul armor appeared, Wang Lin's cultivation level skyrocketed. He flew off the back of the sea dragon and coldly looked down at Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi, who was shocked by Wang Lin's Heavenly Bull soul armor.
"Soul Master!!"
Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi's pupils shrank. When she fought against Wang Lin, she saw that he was holding back, but she didn't expect him to have Soul Masters comparable to Ascendant Empyreans!!
"You're a Heavenly Exalt and a Soul Personage … but even so, you won't be able to defeat me in a short period of time. Soul armors have a time limit. I want to see how long you can last with this soul armor!" The beautiful woman instantly grasped the key point and waved her jade-like finger towards the sky.
