"I have been studying this sentence for countless years. I want to know who the person who destroyed my Dong Lin Sect is and what kind of thoughts he has!
"My Dong Lin Sect has always stood aloof from worldly affairs and has strict rules. Few disciples go out, much less make enemies with others.
Even I have made many friends on the path of the Celestials, and I'm focused on cultivating.
"But even so, the Dong Lin Sect, my home … was still destroyed by someone … I went to find the Grand Empyreans to divinate all the changes in the world, but I couldn't divinate the karma of my Dong Lin Sect … I visited the five Grand Empyreans and the Imperial Teacher one by one, but the results were the same. Only the Imperial Teacher coughed out a mouthful of blood and his face was filled with fear …" However, that fear only dissipated for a moment and was replaced with confusion … "He was confused for three days, and I watched him for three days. Three days later, he woke up and forgot the result he had divinated for me. It was as if an invisible force had erased his memories from the past few days …" the old man murmured. His eyes were filled with sorrow, but now they were filled with hatred and madness.
"I can't understand that stone tablet … But I imprinted that writing in my soul. This is the only clue I have to find that person!" The old man took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to see that stone tablet …"
Wang Lin's expression was calm and he nodded.
The old man with his eyes closed seemed to be able to sense it. He lifted his right hand and swung it outwards. With that wave, an aura of decay and death immediately filled the hall. The entire hall seemed to have experienced the changes of time, as if countless years had passed in an instant. It went from its glory to decay.
The hall was covered in dust, and cracks had appeared on the pillars. Even the three statues behind the old man had suddenly changed, becoming extremely dilapidated.
Cracks appeared on the ground under the old man as if it was in ruins. Not only that, but it was also the same on the outside. It was as if the decaying wind swept across the entire Dong Lin Sect with this palace as the center.
Outside the temple, the square was shattered and the palaces and pavilions became ancient. The mountains were no longer green and had become dead. The water had dried up, and even if there was still some, it gave off a foul smell.
There were also the Dong Lin Sect disciples. Even the two Golden Exalts had disappeared and no longer existed. The entire Dong Lin Sect had turned into a land of death.
Only the skeletons remained on the ground and inside the house … Liu Jinbiao stood outside the temple and stared dumbfoundedly at all of this. His pupils shrank and he finally knew why he had that strange feeling. There was a skeleton beside him, and the eyes of the skeleton seemed to be looking at him and the heavens … A giant stone tablet stood outside the temple after the wind of decay swept the Dong Lin Sect. It was more than 1,000 feet tall, as if it had appeared out of thin air!
There was a line of blood on the stone tablet!
"Lock the fate of the heavens and seal the Dark Dynasty. Those who can't obtain the true dao will sink into the sea of bitterness and forever lose the true dao. This is the path of cultivation!"
The words were no longer bright red; they had long since dried up and turned dark brown. An indescribably terrifying aura spread out from the stone tablet and covered the entire Dong Lin Sect. It caused the sky to change color and turn into darkness. It was as if a giant hand had covered the eyes of the sky.
It was as if this power had made the heavens blind!
"It's this stone tablet …" The old man stared at the stone tablet outside the temple behind Wang Lin.
Wang Lin turned around and looked at the stone tablet. The moment he saw the stone tablet, a thunderous rumble echoed in his mind.
He had seen this kind of stone tablet before!
He had seen it in the Seven-Colored Realm!
He originally thought that the stone tablet in the Seven-Colored Realm was made by the Sovereign, but now it looked like it was completely different from what he had imagined. It was definitely not the case!
What shocked Wang Lin even more was the writing on the stone tablet. Wang Lin was very familiar with this writing. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it became. It was as if he had seen someone personally write it somewhere before!
The writing could be imitated, but the aura from the writing was extremely difficult to imitate. What Wang Lin was familiar with wasn't just the writing, but also the aura from the writing!!
"Tian … Tian Yunzi …" Wang Lin was startled.
How could he forget this aura? This aura belonged to someone he dreaded the most in the cave world!!
This person was part of the Heavenly Dao, and this person had been destroyed by Wang Lin. However, Wang Lin had suspected that Tian Yunzi wasn't dead!!
This writing and aura were not the same as the stone tablet in the Seven-Colored Realm. They were written by two different people. However, the appearance of this stone tablet caused Wang Lin's clear understanding of the cave world to become blurry.
"Cave world … Immortal Astral Continent … Dong Lin Sect … The only person connected to these three places is the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign!!
"But the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign's three souls have been destroyed by me … The third soul is Su Dao … I even came to the Dong Lin Sect in the illusion … But why … Why would these words appear here? This stone tablet, why does such a stone tablet exist in the cave world!!
"What the hell is going on here …" Wang Lin stared at the stone tablet with confusion in his eyes.
"Who destroyed the Dong Lin Sect and left such a stone tablet here!?"
"That writing and aura belong to Tian Yunzi, but why did he come to the Immortal Astral Continent and why did he destroy the Dong Lin Sect!?"
"There is also the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign. I thought he was dead, but … Is he really dead …"
"The Cave World is definitely not that simple. What kind of secret is hidden in it?!"
"What I found back then, I thought it was everything, but it wasn't. What I found was only the edge of the final secret!!
I stood on the mountain and thought I saw the whole world, but I didn't know that there was a pair of eyes in the sky behind the mountain that saw my whole world! "Wang Lin's body instantly turned cold.
"If you see the same writing and aura in your life, please tell me …" The old man's hoarse and sad voice came from behind Wang Lin.
"Please tell me. If I can get revenge, I'll have nothing to worry about. If the Old Man can give me clues, I'll be your slave until death …" the old man slowly said, revealing a shocking sense of determination and faith.
As the old man spoke, he waved his right hand once more. A gentle breeze swept by and the hall returned to its original appearance. The green mountains were still green, the clear water was still clear, and the fragrance of flowers filled the Dong Lin Sect once more. The disciples appeared one by one, not knowing that they were already dead. They lived happily in the Dong Lin Sect amidst the vitality.
The stone tablet disappeared from the square outside the temple and the bones disappeared. Liu Jinbiao stared at where the stone tablet was and felt his hair stand up.
"This … What the hell is this place …" Liu Jinbiao's heart skipped a beat and he looked around. When his gaze swept past the disciples of the Dong Lin Sect, the fear in his heart became even stronger.
Inside the temple, Wang Lin's expression didn't reveal any of the waves in his heart and he calmly said, "I will."
The old man looked at Wang Lin for a long time before lowering his head to hide the sadness and loneliness in his eyes. However, even though he lowered his head, the sadness in his body was still strong and wouldn't dissipate at all.
The old man said in a hoarse voice, "Did you come to the Dong Lin Sect because you were passing by, or do you have a plan …"
"I want to borrow the Dong Lin Pool!"
Wang Lin suppressed the terror in his heart. All of this made him feel strange, but at the same time, it also made him shocked.
"Dong Lin Pool …" The old man pondered a bit and gently nodded.
"There is strange water inside the Dong Lin Pool. The water is connected to the earth and has some connection to the foreign spirit sealed under the Great Sage Continent … The sealed spirit is not a beast, but a foreign cultivator … This person was defeated by the Celestial Ancestor and was sealed here. He is long dead, but his soul didn't disappear and fused with the earth vein. The Dong Lin Pool is one of the places where the river flows … Cultivators can only enter the Dong Lin Pool twice in their lifetime. Once they enter the Dong Lin Pool a third time, they will immediately die.
"My Dong Lin Sect has the Dong Lin Pool. Outsiders don't know much, but anyone who knows will pay a high enough price to be allowed to enter the Dong Lin Pool.
"There are rumors in the outside world and even in my sect that entering the pool will allow you to form your essence true body. However, this is false … If it was true, my Dong Lin Sect would have long since become the number one sect in the celestial clan. We wouldn't have been able to protect the Dong Lin Pool and it would have been taken away by a Grand Empyrean.
"Even so, it would attract the attention of a Grand Empyrean. However, due to the fact that the first ancestor of the Dong Lin Sect was Grand Empyrean Dong Lin and that the pool can't be moved, its effect has weakened over time, so no one has come to steal it."
"Grand Empyrean Dong Lin?" Wang Lin's eyes narrowed. This was the first time he had heard of this name.
The old man calmly said, "The five Grand Empyrean Exalts of the celestial clan aren't eternal, and some have fallen … My Dong Lin Sect's first generation ancestor was also a Grand Empyrean, but he fell … Even his body is unknown … Many people are looking for the ancestor's body. Even the Grand Empyreans that appeared later are looking for it, but no one can find it … There is a rumor that if you can find the ancestor's body, you might be able to become a Grand Empyrean without going to the Immemorial God Realm … However, this is only a rumor."
Wang Lin took a deep breath. He didn't expect the Dong Lin Sect to have such a foundation, and he didn't expect a Grand Empyrean to appear!
"The effect of the Dong Lin Pool is very weak now, and condensing an essence true body is just a rumor. Its real effect is to allow the person who enters to enter a strange state. In that state, there is a chance that they can comprehend the special essence that foreign cultivators have!
"If you fail, it will only make the essence a bit stronger."
After the third watch, let's roar again. Fellow cultivators, do you still have your monthly votes?
