Although the blurry figure outside the light screen had no skin and was just flesh and blood, Wang Lin had entered a strange state when he absorbed the main earth fire vein in the Heavenly Bull Continent. He had seen the Celestial Ancestor seal the Heavenly Bull.
The face of the blurry figure was very similar to the Celestial Ancestor Wang Lin had seen!!
As the blurry figure roared, ripples echoed on the light screen. Wang Lin's expression was gloomy as he retreated. The moment he landed on the ground, the 500 foot light screen shrank once more as the blurry figure smashed into it.
It shrank from 500 feet to 300 feet. This forced Wang Lin and Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi to get closer.
The blurry figure smashed into the light screen for half an hour before slowly calming down. It stared at Wang Lin and Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi before slowly retreating and disappearing into the darkness.
Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi bit her lower lip as she looked at the light screen. A moment later, she said, "This light screen won't last much longer …"
Wang Lin silently pondered. What he had seen before made him feel like there was some secret inside the broken palm. If not, how could the Celestial Ancestor's appearance appear?
"Your teacher is Grand Empyrean Jiu Ti. Have you heard about the Celestial Ancestor?" Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he looked at Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi.
"Celestial Ancestor?"
Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi looked at Wang Lin. Wang Lin had recognized the broken palm as the Celestial Ancestor, but he had pondered in his heart and hadn't said anything. Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi didn't know what Wang Lin had seen.
"I once heard my master mention it once. A long time ago, there was only one continent in the land of the Immortals. The Celestial Ancestor sealed the spirits that came from beyond the heavens, and only then did the twelve continents come into existence.
"After sealing the 72nd spirit, the Celestial Ancestor disappeared and no one knows where he went.
"Even his descendants searched for a long time and didn't know what the result was.
"However, Teacher once said that the Celestial Ancestor didn't disappear … Teacher suspects that something happened to the Celestial Ancestor … As for the specifics, Teacher didn't say, as if he was unwilling to talk about it in detail." Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi pondered.
These words entered Wang Lin's ears. Wang Lin silently pondered, but his eyes were filled with thought.
"Perhaps it's possible that this severed hand belonged to the Celestial Ancestor … If that's the case, then who cut off the Celestial Ancestor's left hand … There are many rumors about the collapse of the Celestial Ancestor's sword. Could it be that the collapse of the Celestial Ancestor is related to this severed hand … However, why is this severed hand inside the Mountain Sea Tree seal? This seal has existed here for countless years, so it's likely that Grand Empyreans have already noticed it. Why did they only appear now … This is also an area controlled by Grand Empyrean Dao Yi.
"Or perhaps …" Wang Lin's eyes shined brightly.
"The Grand Empyreans, including Dao Yi, all knew about the strangeness of the Mountain Sea Tree's seal, but they didn't act rashly …" Wang Lin was used to deducing, and at this moment, he took a deep breath. He was shocked by his own guess.
Wang Lin's eyes shined faintly and he slowly said, "Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi, if your teacher is Grand Empyrean Jiu Ti, then why are you far away from the Central Continent and living in the Mountain Sea?"
"You doubt me?"
Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi's eyes narrowed. When she looked at Wang Lin, her beautiful eyes shined brightly.
"What a smart woman!" Wang Lin thought to himself. Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi had guessed a lot from his words.
Wang Lin didn't explain, he just calmly looked at Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi.
The beautiful woman silently pondered for a moment and her expression changed as if she was thinking. After a long time, she seemed to understand something and suddenly looked up with a strange gaze.
She frowned and softly said, "It was my teacher who told me to come to the Southern Continent and live here in the Mountain Sea."
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. This confirmed some of his speculations. If this was the truth, then there was a big problem.
Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi immediately asked, "Where did you hear that there was a Mountain Sea Tree Spirit in the Mountain Sea?"
"I heard from an Empyrean Exalt under Grand Empyrean Wu Feng that there was a Wood Spirit in the Mountain Sea …" Wang Lin's expression became even more contemplative.
"I came to the Mountain Sea before and had a cave, but I didn't stay here for long. 200 years ago, Teacher suddenly told me to live here … You were guided here by someone under Grand Empyrean Wu Feng … And this is Grand Empyrean Dao Yi's territory." Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi's beautiful face was extremely gloomy.
Wang Lin faintly smiled. Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi's words clearly showed that she had figured out the crux of the problem.
Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi closed her beautiful eyes and said after a long time, "Teacher used me as bait to try to lure out the broken palm from the Mountain Sea Tree's seal!"
"I can understand this. Teacher raised me and taught me cultivation. Even if I was used as bait, I didn't have any complaints.
"However, the strange thing is, why would Grand Empyrean Wu Feng have designs on you?
Why did he so cleverly bring you here? "Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi opened her eyes and looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's expression was neutral as he silently shook his head. However, he had a guess about this matter!
"Perhaps ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to see through my origin. Even Empyrean Exalts would find it difficult to find out.
However, there is no secret to Grand Empyreans!
"Grand Empyrean Wu Feng's subordinate pointed me here with the intention of verifying my identity and origin. At the same time, he has the same purpose as Grand Empyrean Jiu Ti!
"However, although Grand Empyrean Jiu Ti used his disciple as bait, he was clearly very gentle. He only let Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi live here to silently attract the Mountain Sea Tree Spirit. However, I have nothing to do with Grand Empyrean Wu Feng, so Grand Empyrean Wu Feng doesn't care about my life or death. It can both verify my identity and lure out the broken palm!
They don't care if I come from the cave world, they care if I'm a true cultivator of the Ancient Country!!
"Wang Lin has cultivated for nearly 3,000 years, especially in the cave world. With his detailed analysis and deductions, he has resolved many crises.
"He might not have the wisdom of a demon, but he has the mind to deduce the truth after putting many clues together!
"I just don't know what role Grand Empyrean Dao Yi plays in this." Wang Lin lowered his head, and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
"If Teacher dares to let the Gui Yi Sect know, then he must be confident. I believe he is. After removing this flaw, no one will know I'm Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo's only disciple!
"As long as this identity isn't revealed, even if I come from the cave world, it won't matter!
"Let's wait a bit more. After all, these are just my guesses."
Wang Lin pondered and looked up at Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi. This beautiful woman had her eyes closed and didn't reveal any of her thoughts.
"If Grand Empyrean Jiu Ti really used her as bait, then there must be something strange about this woman. There must be a reason for this!"
Wang Lin thought about some of his previous guesses and was a bit more certain. However, he still had a question. What kind of secret existed between the broken palm and the celestial clan to attract Grand Empyreans so much?
After withdrawing his gaze, Wang Lin closed his eyes and continued to immerse himself in absorbing the Mountain Sea Tree Spirit. No matter what the future held, improving his own combat power and cultivation was the key to resolving everything in the future!
Time passed in this calm atmosphere once more.
In a flash, another three years passed!
Including the time before, Wang Lin and Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi had been trapped here for seven years.
During these three years, the blurry figure formed by the broken palm had appeared nine times. Every time it appeared, it would let out an angry roar and cause the light curtain to shrink nine times.
This day was the ninth time!
As the screen of light swayed, cracking sounds could be heard. It was as if the screen of light had reached its limit. Its area had shrunk during the past three years, and during the ninth attack of the broken palm, it was now only thirty feet wide!
This 30 feet range allowed Wang Lin and Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi to be extremely close. Wang Lin could even smell the fragrance coming from Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi's body.
30 feet wasn't large. It has to be said that if Wang Lin took out his Yin Blade, it would be 30 feet long. This showed how small this range was.
Because they were so close, Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi could no longer continue to cultivate. Her face was slightly red, as if she wasn't used to it. She looked at Wang Lin with a complicated gaze.
Just like how Wang Lin could smell the woman's body fragrance, Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi could also feel the body temperature coming from Wang Lin's body.
"The range … is too small … If there is no solution, not only can this light curtain be broken at any time, but once it shrinks again …" Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi had a complicated expression, and anger appeared in her eyes.
Wang Lin also frowned. In his life, aside from a limited number of women, he had rarely been this close to unfamiliar women. This made him feel very uncomfortable. In particular, the fragrance coming from her body made Wang Lin constantly frown.
In addition, after seven years of contact, Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi was a beauty comparable to Mu Bingmei. This feeling made Wang Lin sigh.
"I can't continue like this …" Wang Lin's eyes lit up. However, at this moment, due to the shrinking of the light curtain, the broken palm shadow appeared once more. As the fierce bombardment continued, the cracking sounds became even more intense. One could see faint cracks spreading across the light curtain.
Under this bombardment, the light curtain shrank once more!!
30 feet, 20 feet, 10 feet … 5 feet!!
When there was only 5 feet left, Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi's entire body was pressed against Wang Lin's right. Her body temperature could be clearly felt through their clothes.
The surroundings were completely dark. The broken palm outside the light curtain had stopped bombarding for some reason, causing this place to become silent. Only Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi's breathing could be heard clearly inside the light curtain.
"Wang Lin …" In the darkness, Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi's soft voice spread to the side of Wang Lin's face.
