At the edge of the Mountain Sea Continent, Wang Lin's figure moved like a shuttle. With one step, he merged with the world and disappeared without a trace.
It wasn't until he was far away from the Mountain Sea Continent that Wang Lin arrived at a place covered in ancient pines that Wang Lin's figure appeared. He stood on a pine tree and looked back at the end of the world.
Just now, he had used the Sundered Night Trust Technique to weaken the broken palm image, but he did not stop at all. Using this opportunity, he rushed out. The instant he rushed out of the sea, he faintly felt that there seemed to be three indistinct presences in the sky that could suppress the world. Combined with his previous guess, it was not difficult to imagine who these three presences were.
Sitting down on the pine tree, Wang Lin took a deep breath. The world around him was very big, and it was much more comfortable than the light screen protecting him.
"There must be a secret inside that broken palm. I have gained a lot on this trip to the Mountain Sea. Aside from the Mountain Sea Tree Spirits, the most important thing is a fragment of the Celestial Ancestor Sword!" Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he raised his right hand. There was a flash of golden light in his palm.
"I can't absorb it in front of Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi's light screen. Now that I'm free, I need to fuse it with my eyes as soon as possible!"
Wang Lin pondered and also considered the problem of the Grand Empyreans. However, since the three Grand Empyreans had watched him leave without stopping him, he must have passed their test.
Wang Lin's body became blurry and he slowly merged with the pine tree below him. He disappeared into the ancient tree.
Inside the tree, Wang Lin sat down and took out the last two Mountain Sea Tree Spirits.
"During these years, I have absorbed the other tree spirits, and my wood essence has reached completion. I can feel all the wood essence aura in the world.
"There are still two left. I wonder if I can form an essence true body after fusing them!
"However, this wood essence is a bit strange. After fusing with my body, the absorption becomes slower and slower. I wonder when it will become my own essence!"
Wang Lin muttered to himself for a moment, then clenched his right hand and fused the two wood spirits into his body. He began to slowly absorb and refine them.
"This matter is not urgent. This refinement will still require some time. Right now, the most important thing is to absorb the fragment of the Supreme Immortal Sword. After absorbing the fragment, I will need to think about my future path."
Wang Lin silently flipped his right hand, and the Celestial Extreme Sword fragment that Wang Lin had risked his life to obtain from the Mountain Sea Tree immediately shone with boundless golden light.
This fragment was the size of a palm, and its edges were irregular. However, it exuded a sharp aura that seemed to be able to cut through all things in the world.
As he stared at the fragment in his hand, Wang Lin's eyes slowly shone with a golden light. Faintly, a fragment of the Celestial Extreme Sword also appeared in his eyes.
The golden light in his eyes and the golden light from the fragment in his hand seemed to fuse with each other at this moment. A strange suction force came from Wang Lin's body, and the call from outside the Mountain Sea Tree immediately echoed within Wang Lin's body.
As the call and suction became stronger, the Celestial Extreme Sword fragment in Wang Lin's hand fused with the golden light and turned into countless golden threads. It was as if the fragment had melted and turned into golden threads that shot toward Wang Lin's eyes.
When the last golden thread entered Wang Lin's eyes, the golden light from the pine tree suddenly disappeared. It was completely dark, and in the darkness, Wang Lin sat cross-legged and calmly breathed in and out.
Time slowly passed. The world outside alternated between night and day several times, and seven days passed.
This was the season of autumn in the pine forest. The pine leaves fluttered in the wind, giving off a sound that sounded like countless people clapping their hands.
There were even fallen leaves floating in the wind, as if they were wanderers who had left home and didn't know where they would rest in the future.
During these seven days, some cultivators passed by this pine forest, but none of them noticed that there was a cultivator inside one of the pine trees in this vast forest.
During these seven days of time, Wang Lin's body remained motionless, but there was a shocking, golden light hidden in his eyes. At the same time, in his mind, these seven days of time felt like countless years had passed.
In his mind, there were two fragments of the Celestial Extreme Sword that were fusing with each other. These two fragments were the size of a palm, and their edges were irregular. However, during these seven days, after what seemed like countless years, the two fragments had completely fused together.
As they fused, a small, golden sword about one foot long appeared. This sword was extremely sharp and gave off a powerful pressure. After it formed, it became even more solid in Wang Lin's mind.
On the eighth day, when Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes, a monstrous, golden light spread out from his eyes. This golden light contained a suppressive force that was several times stronger than Wang Lin's before. It also seemed corporeal, like a sword that could shatter heaven and earth. This caused the pine tree that Wang Lin was in to be covered in golden light.
However, the golden light that came out from Wang Lin's eyes quickly shrank. After several hours, all the golden light was gathered in Wang Lin's eyes. Not a single bit of it leaked out. In fact, there was nothing strange about Wang Lin's eyes; they were clear.
However, there was a sense of sharpness and majesty hidden in that clarity. It was as if if someone looked into his eyes, their mind would rumble, and they would retreat without a fight!
This was the suppressive force!
Using the Celestial Ancestor's Celestial Supreme Sword to suppress all living beings!
After taking a deep breath, Wang Lin slowly closed his eyes. After a while, he opened them again. At this moment, even the sharpness and suppressive force hidden in his eyes had completely disappeared. It was as if he had returned to his original state.
"The Celestial Supreme Sword is the pinnacle of all metals in the world. I didn't expect that after obtaining the second fragment and fusing with it, I would be able to give birth to the last Origin of the five elements in my body, the Metal Origin!"
Wang Lin's expression was calm. Although this had happened suddenly, after seven days of refinement, he had naturally gained some understanding.
"One fragment is equivalent to several years of absorbing the Mountain Sea Tree Spirit …" Wang Lin raised his right hand and waved it forward. Ninety-eight afterimages appeared and merged with his right hand. He clenched his fist.
Bursts of popping sounds came from his palm. These sounds were crisp, but they contained a sense of destruction.
At the same time, nine black vortexes appeared in his fist. Each of these nine vortexes contained a Body Fusion Divine Ability.
Before Wang Lin went to the Mountain Sea, he had fused the Nine Obedience Spell into his fist and finger. Now he stared at his right hand, and his eyes lit up. He saw the nine cyclones surround his right fist, and as the popping sounds echoed, a 10th cyclone appeared and surrounded the other nine cyclones.
"There should be more than 10!"
Wang Lin loosened his right hand and clenched it once more. A muffled rumble came from his fist and the 11th cyclone appeared!
These 11 cyclones represented that when Wang Lin didn't use his essence true body and true body, he could use 11 spells with each punch and finger. If he used his essence true body and true body, then when Wang Lin used his essence true body, he could use 44 spells with each punch and finger!
After all, his five-element true body was the same as his original body. When he used his essence true body, he could use double the spells. Adding on the Thunder Essence True Body, he could use even more spells. Finally, there was the ethereal essence. Although it hadn't formed an essence true body, ethereal essences were more mysterious than real essences. This was especially true when Wang Lin's three ethereal essences were fused into one.
This kind of superposition was something he had comprehended during the 50 years of challenges. He had slowly fused them together and used the characteristics of his essence true body to comprehend his own combat power.
"It should still be possible …" Wang Lin murmured as he raised his left hand and pressed down on his right hand. As he pressed down, Wang Lin's body trembled and he let out a roar.
A 12th cyclone appeared on his right hand that had 11 cyclones. After the 12th cyclone appeared, the first Shi San cyclone appeared.
Wang Lin's breathing became a bit rough. He could feel that this was his limit!
"13 divine abilities. If I use my true body and essence, then even without the Soul Armor, I can still battle an Empyrean who has fused 52 divine abilities!
"I wonder if I can pass the fifth level of the Empyrean Trial with my current combat power!"
"I think it should be enough!" Wang Lin smiled.
However, he didn't plan on entering the Empyrean Trial immediately. The time wasn't right. Wang Lin had made up his mind. If he didn't attempt it, then he would do it. Once he did, he would shock everyone!
"Attracting the attention of all the Grand Empyreans will depend on my second attempt at the Empyrean Trial!
"Now I don't need to continue challenging Empyrean Exalts. What I need to do is return to the Eastern Continent and go to the Dong Lin Sect's Dong Lin Pool. I need to see if there is any difference between the pool and the illusion in the cave world!" Wang Lin stood up and his eyes shined brightly.
"I'll go to the Dong Lin Sect and attempt the second Empyrean Trial to see how many levels I can pass!
After choosing a Grand Empyrean, I'll go to my last stop in the celestial clan, the imperial city!
"After resolving the knot in my heart in the imperial city, I'll leave the celestial clan and go to the 36 countries of the Ancient clan to see my teacher, Xuan Luo, and fulfill my promise!"
Wang Lin took a deep breath and disappeared from the pine tree. He turned into a ray of light and flew toward the Eastern Continent.
"I can feel myself becoming stronger and stronger. Wan Er, when I become a Grand Empyrean, it will be the day I personally resurrect you, my wife!
"That day is not far away, very close, very close … Wan Er, very close."
As Wang Lin flew, there was a rare gentleness in his eyes. This gentleness was filled with memories. It wasn't a romantic moment, but thousands of years of unrepentant persistence.
Recommendation tickets are in short supply!!!
