Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and his clothes were soaked in sweat. His face was pale and he seemed to have lost some of his strength. There was also a feeling of extreme weakness that spread throughout his body.
"Master!" Liu Jinbiao immediately walked up, and his eyes were filled with shock and anxiety.
"How long did I close my eyes for?"
Wang Lin was panting heavily, as if he had difficulty breathing. It was as if he had become a mortal. After a long time, he raised his right hand and confirmed that he was fine.
Liu Jinbiao hesitated for a moment before replying honestly, "You … you closed your eyes just now, and it was as if you didn't exist anymore. When I turned around to look, you … woke up …"
"An instant?"
Wang Lin was startled. He had experienced the Dream Dao many times and knew that he would be immersed in it for a period of time, not just an instant. He looked at Liu Jinbiao and silently pondered.
The blurry figure he saw in the dream path appeared in his mind. He couldn't even see the other party's appearance and silhouette clearly … He only vaguely remembered that such a person had appeared … but when he thought about it carefully, it was blurry, as if he couldn't remember it clearly.
This feeling was like his memory had been tampered with, and it shocked Wang Lin.
"If what I saw in the Dream Dao was real, then … who is he …?" Wang Lin thought about the pain from before and the feeling of weakness after waking up. He had never experienced such a thing before, and at that moment, he had the illusion that he was going to die. Even the Three Life Spell couldn't help him. If he really died, he would truly die … After a long time, Wang Lin's expression gradually recovered. He sat there and looked at the Dong Lin Sect, and his eyes slowly lit up.
"One day, I will find out what secrets are hidden in this place!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he stepped into the Dong Lin Pool. He sat down in the pool and the water reached his waist. It was cold and entered Wang Lin's body.
Inside the pool, Wang Lin took a deep breath and no longer thought about the secret of the Dong Lin Sect. He calmed his heart and cycled his cultivation. It was as if he had become one with the pool.
Wang Lin had experienced this feeling in the past, but now that he was truly in the pool, the instant he fused with it, Wang Lin's entire body sank into a strange state.
This state was similar to the atmosphere Wang Lin had entered when he created the Sundered Night Divine Ability. However, at this moment, with the help of the strange power contained in the pool, Wang Lin was forced to instantly step into it.
In that state, Wang Lin was immersed in confusion. It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like only a moment had passed.
Opening his eyes, Wang Lin's gaze was a little dazed. After a moment, he recovered and looked down at the pool below him. Nearly thirty percent of the water had been drained.
"Master took three breaths of time from closing his eyes to waking up.
Without waiting for Wang Lin to ask, Liu Jinbiao immediately spoke.
Wang Lin nodded.
"Did I fail … I only stayed in that state for three breaths, but I didn't gain anything …" Wang Lin frowned. He vaguely felt that the essences in his body had increased a bit, but not much.
"The Dong Lin Sect ancestor said that the Dong Lin Pool is related to the soul of the foreign cultivator sealed in the Great Sage Continent. There is a chance to comprehend the special essence of the foreign cultivator here … I didn't even see what his essence was, and I failed the first time … The Dong Lin Sect ancestor said that there are only two chances to comprehend in the pool, and the third time, I will die … Why did death happen? If I can figure this out, maybe I can comprehend a few more times …" Wang Lin pondered for a moment and closed his eyes again.
The moment he closed his eyes, he entered that strange state again. This time, in this state, Wang Lin was still confused. His vision was blurry, and even his mind was unclear.
However, he could vaguely feel a strange force coming from the outside world into his body. He could only feel it, but when he tried to grasp it, there was no trace of it.
After an unknown amount of time, the confused Wang Lin suddenly saw a ray of light in his left eye. This light was very weak, and if one didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to see it clearly. The moment this light appeared, it attracted all of Wang Lin's attention. However, only his left eye could see this light, and his right eye was still blurry.
This strange change caused Wang Lin's mind to tremble, but he still focused on the light he saw in his left eye.
However, this light seemed to be very far away, and before Wang Lin could clearly feel it, his mind was shaken and he woke up from that state.
The moment he opened his eyes, Liu Jinbiao's voice entered his ears.
"Master, this time it was five breaths of time …" Wang Lin looked at the sky in the distance and pondered for a long time. The light he saw in his left eye was still in his mind.
"I can see the left eye, but not the right eye … This Dong Lin Pool is more difficult than I imagined." Wang Lin looked at the pool and found that there was less than 30% of the pool left.
"I wonder if this pool will appear again after it is used up … Also, I've already tried to comprehend it twice and failed both times. I wonder what kind of danger the third time will bring."
As Wang Lin pondered, he waved his right hand. The Golden Exalt sea dragon flew out and circled in the sky. Its body had shrunk quite a bit.
The moment the Golden Exalt sea dragon appeared, it viciously stared at Liu Jinbiao and let out a low roar. Its expression was very arrogant.
Liu Jinbiao was startled as he looked at the sea dragon and sucked in a breath of cold air. However, his eyes turned and he revealed a smile. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Wang Lin didn't pay too much attention. He sent out a divine sense message to tell the sea dragon to help him out if it sensed something was wrong.
Then his eyes lit up and he closed his eyes again. For the third time, he immersed himself in that strange state.
This time, as soon as Wang Lin entered that state, the moment the power of the pool entered his body, it turned into a rejection force that gathered in Wang Lin's body. It turned into a roar that entered his mind.
This roar was very real, and it contained a sense of madness and unwillingness!!
"Lianyun Jue, you're despicable!!"
This voice echoed inside Wang Lin's mind like thunder, causing Wang Lin's body to tremble. It felt like his mind was going to collapse.
Under the interference of this voice, he couldn't immerse himself in that state at all, much less continue to comprehend.
Just at this moment, a powerful force came from the outside. It was as if a giant claw had grabbed Wang Lin and pulled him out of the Dong Lin Pool.
After leaving the pool, the voice in his mind disappeared. Wang Lin opened his eyes and looked at the pool. His expression became gloomy.
"Indeed, I can't comprehend a third time. If I wasn't prepared and the Dong Lin Sect ancestor told me that even if it wouldn't affect me too much, I would need to use up some energy before I could leave." Wang Lin frowned as he sat next to the pool. He looked at the small amount of water in the pool and pondered.
"Why didn't it happen the first time or the second time, but only the third time … That voice just now was produced after the strange power that entered my body from the pool gathered together. This strange power first circulated one round in my body … Could it be that this is the main point? This one round is similar to checking how many times I've entered this place?"
"Then how did it determine the number of times I comprehended?
And that Lianyun Jue, his surname is Lian … Could it be the name of Lian Daofei's ancestor, the Celestial Ancestor? "
Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he looked at the pool and pondered. As he pondered, it seemed that because his body had left the Dong Lin Pool, the pool water slowly returned to its original level. It was as if everything that had disappeared had returned.
"Jinbiao, go down and try."
Wang Lin was confident that he could protect Liu Jinbiao even if he tried a third time. He told Liu Jinbiao about the danger he had encountered and told him to be careful.
Liu Jinbiao didn't hesitate to step forward and sit down in the pool.
Four breaths of time later, he opened his eyes in a daze.
"I saw a ray of light …" Liu Jinbiao muttered and closed his eyes again. This time, he used five breaths of time. The moment he opened his eyes, there was a flash of bright light in his left eye that quickly disappeared.
"I'm very close to that light, but I haven't found it …" Liu Jinbiao pondered for a bit before closing his eyes again. He began to comprehend a third time according to Wang Lin's request.
Wang Lin stared at Liu Jinbiao. Time slowly passed. One breath, two breaths, three breaths … Ten breaths of time later, Liu Jinbiao's body trembled violently. Wang Lin didn't hesitate to lift his right hand and move him out of the pool.
As he trembled, Liu Jinbiao opened his eyes. His left eye shined brightly. Even Wang Lin felt like he was looking at the sun when he looked at it.
"I touched that ray of light, and a voice echoed in my mind. It seemed to be telling me the name of that ray of light. This is the Absolute Beginning Essence … the beginning of all things … However, my cultivation level isn't high enough. I only managed to comprehend a bit, but I couldn't withstand it." Liu Jinbiao took a deep breath and looked at the Dong Lin Pool.
"Master, I think the reason I could feel that ray of light for the third time is because of my Dao of Deception. I instantly deceived myself and told myself that this was my first time here … Using this method, I deceived the pool's inspection. After I awakened from my reincarnation, I can also use the Dao of Deception for others. Master, do you want to try it?" Liu Jinbiao seemed to understand something and looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin pondered for a bit, then shook his head. He had some understanding of the Dao of Deception, and after experiencing it in the Dream Dao, he didn't need Liu Jinbiao's help.
Wang Lin took a step forward and immersed himself in the pool for the fourth time. He used a similar method to deceive the strange power of the pool and once again immersed himself in that state.
Soon, he saw the ray of light in his left eye … and it was getting closer and closer to him.
"I walk in the sky and observe the changes of billions of suns. I understand the Absolute Beginning Essence …" A low voice appeared in Wang Lin's mind. It sounded like it was murmuring to itself.
