Light blue ice crystals that emitted a gentle glow floated in the clouds. Each crystal was about 30 meters wide. Wang Lin scanned the area with his divine sense and found that there were a total of 94 blue ice crystals!
With a scan of his divine sense, he found that one of the crystals was clearly smaller than the others. This crystal was very familiar to Wang Lin; it was the one the heavenly devil had spent a lot of effort to open up the tunnel to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's eyes flickered. Only now did he know that there was not only one ice crystal in the inheritance of knowledge, but a total of 94!
As a result, the portion that Wang Lin had absorbed before was actually less than one percent.
Wang Lin was currently in the state of his divine sense. He pondered for a while before his divine sense suddenly moved and pounced on the ice crystal that he was familiar with.
The moment his divine sense touched the ice crystal, it immediately melted and completely fused with Wang Lin's divine sense. Boundless memories constantly echoed in Wang Lin's divine sense. As time passed, the speed at which the memories echoed became faster and faster. Wang Lin's divine sense was like a rolling cloud that set off waves of ripples.
Complicated chants, strange spells, and fragmented memories were like a roaring ancient dragon that bared its fangs. Wang Lin's divine sense was instantly torn apart and then reformed.
This cycle repeated itself. Waves of unbearable pain completely drowned Wang Lin.
In reality, in the state of his divine sense, Wang Lin would not feel pain at all. However, this state was extremely strange. He could clearly feel the pain that came from every part of his divine sense, as if it was being devoured by thousands of insects.
This feeling had always been with him. Even when he had fused with part of the inheritance of knowledge for the first time, he had never felt this way. Gradually, his divine sense involuntarily spread out and turned into strands of silk. Then, they gathered together and formed an oval-shaped cocoon.
This cocoon formed by his divine sense had a light blue appearance. It looked no different from the ice crystals, as if it was a slightly larger ice crystal.
During this process, Wang Lin's divine sense entered a state of chaos. He had experienced this once when he had obtained part of the inheritance of knowledge for the first time. However, in terms of realism, if the previous experience was a trickle, then the current experience was a surging river.
He was like a lone boat in the river, bobbing up and down along with the waves.
Every time the river surged, his pain would increase a little.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Following this, a scene that he had seen before appeared in front of him. It was a void, and within it, there were countless flickering lights.
Wang Lin had seen this scene before. Now that he saw it again, he suddenly gained a hint of enlightenment.
At the same time, the moment this trace of understanding appeared, the bone-piercing pain suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared in the first place.
Following this, waves of numbness immediately spread from every part of Wang Lin's divine sense. Mantras, spells, and fragments of memory flowed through his divine sense. Finally, they slowly calmed down and completely fused with his divine sense.
Slowly, Wang Lin felt his divine sense moving forward. The dots of light became bigger and bigger, and finally became huge planets.
Following this, he saw the huge ancient god again!
At this time, Wang Lin already knew that the baby he saw last time was the young ancient god Tu Si. The giant in front of him, whose body was as big as a planet, was obviously the adult Tu Si.
Tu Si's face was slightly ordinary, but there were eight stars in a circle between his eyebrows.
Apart from this, his skin was extremely rough and filled with cracks. These cracks were very faint, and if one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to be seen.
But if one looked closely, they would find that the cracks on his body were densely packed, like the cracks on a turtle's shell.
At this time, his eyes were bright and emitted bursts of light as he stared at a planet in the distance. His face revealed a thoughtful expression. After a moment, he gently grasped with his hand, and the planet he was looking at shattered with a bang. Bursts of grey fog dissipated into the void.
From the grey fog, a golden light suddenly flew out. Tu Si reached out and the golden light immediately changed direction. It instantly landed in his hand and turned into a golden nugget about one foot wide.
This item was clearly some kind of refining material. It looked like gold, but it wasn't gold, and it looked like stone, but it wasn't stone. There were faint black lines on its surface. Holding this item, Tu Si reached out again, and another planet in the distance shattered.
After an unknown amount of time, more than 30 planets were destroyed one by one. He now had a lot of materials in his hand, and there were all kinds of colors.
Next, Tu Si's hands moved and all the materials fused together. He calmed his mind and sent out a few spells to fuse with the materials.
Shortly after, he closed his eyes, but he quickly opened them again. The moment he opened his eyes, the eight stars on his forehead seemed to come to life. They suddenly began to spin and shot out eight rays of starlight that fused with the materials.
After a long time, a square cauldron that emitted a seven-colored light appeared before him.
This square cauldron gave off a powerful pressure, and a destructive aura came from it. There was even a series of small vortexes in the void around it. When Wang Lin's divine sense saw this square cauldron, he felt like it was being sucked in. He was secretly shocked as he silently stared at the square cauldron.
Tu Si looked at it for a bit and shook his head. His face revealed a look of regret. He picked up the square cauldron, looked at it a few more times, and threw it. The square cauldron landed on a planet and disappeared.
Tu Si let out a sigh. His body suddenly moved, and with a few steps, he disappeared into the void.
Wang Lin stared at the scene in front of him. This ancient god Tu Si was clearly refining a treasure. He used materials from more than 30 planets to refine this square cauldron. In Wang Lin's eyes, this cauldron was a legendary treasure, but he didn't expect that the ancient god Tu Si was not satisfied with it and threw it away after looking at it a few times.
If a treasure like this fell into the hands of a cultivator, its power would be limitless!
Wang Lin stared at the planet that the treasure sank into and let out a sigh.
Wang Lin secretly remembered all the steps of refining the treasure. Although he didn't recognize any of the materials, and even the technique that god Ji used to refine the treasure was unfamiliar to him, Wang Lin believed that as he absorbed all the ice crystals from the inheritance of knowledge, he would understand all the knowledge.
After the ancient god Tu Si disappeared, Wang Lin clearly felt his divine sense slowly dissipate. Finally, even his consciousness disappeared from this void.
At this time, in the place where the inheritance of knowledge was stored, besides Jiu Shi San's ice crystal, there was also an oval-shaped cocoon. Suddenly, a crack appeared on the cocoon, and this crack became bigger and bigger. Finally, the entire cocoon was covered in countless cracks.
Rays of five-colored light shot out from the cracks. Gradually, as the cracks became bigger and bigger, the rays of light became more and more dazzling. Finally, after a series of cracking sounds, the oval-shaped cocoon completely shattered.
A translucent figure that emitted a five-colored light appeared inside the cocoon.
This person was Wang Lin!
Wang Lin opened his eyes and looked down at his body. His eyes revealed a pondering expression. He could clearly feel that after absorbing the entire ice crystal, not only did his mind gain some new memories, but more importantly, his divine sense went from its original state of nothingness to its current state.
After pondering for a while, Wang Lin's divine sense moved and his entire body immediately collapsed. It once again turned into nothingness and slowly spread in all directions.
Wang Lin's divine sense moved again and his divine sense immediately returned to its original state of being translucent. Wang Lin pondered for a while. His eyes lit up and he suddenly waved his right hand. Suddenly, a mirror made of ice crystals appeared in his palm.
After looking at the mirror, Wang Lin's body suddenly trembled. His eyes revealed a never-before-seen expression as he stared at the mirror and was unable to speak for a long time.
Although the face of the translucent figure that appeared in the mirror was translucent, one could vaguely see some of its appearance. This appearance was not as delicate as Ma Liang's. Instead, it was a rather simple and ordinary face.
Wang Lin stared dumbfoundedly at the face in the mirror. Waves of complex emotions appeared in his heart. He never thought that one day he would see the figure that originally belonged to him again.
Back then, Teng Huayuan destroyed his body. Wang Lin couldn't remember how many years had passed, but he could never forget the face his parents gave him. Every time he thought about it, his heart would be filled with regret and deep hatred toward Teng Huayuan.
After a long time, Wang Lin let out a sigh. He calmed himself down and his eyes became calm. The body formed by his divine sense suddenly moved and surrounded the other ice crystal.
The intense pain from before appeared once more. This time, Wang Lin was already used to it. His mind was calm as he carefully scanned the memories in his divine sense.
Shortly after, his divine sense couldn't withstand the large amount of memory data and collapsed into tentacles. The tentacles wrapped around him and formed an oval cocoon once more.
The stars in the void appeared before Wang Lin once more. This time, he saw God Ji refine a pill. Ancient God Tu Si used the spiritual energy of several planets to refine a single pill.
From Wang Lin's point of view, this pill was extremely rough; it was like a giant mud garden. If it wasn't for the terrifying amount of spiritual energy coming from it, it wouldn't even look like a pill.
After Tu Si took the pill, the cracks on the surface of his body suddenly became much finer. These cracks seemed to contain some kind of mysterious aura. As God Ji's body moved, the cracks seemed to come to life, causing people to have all kinds of illusions.
When the giant cocoon shattered once more, Wang Lin's body became a bit more corporeal.
Time slowly passed and Tu Si's inheritance of knowledge continued. Every time Wang Lin finished digesting an ice crystal, he would absorb another one, and the cycle would repeat.
When the 34th ice crystal was completely absorbed, Wang Lin's divine sense went from being translucent to corporeal. No matter how you looked at it, there was no difference between it and a real body.
As for his hair, it was still white, just like before.
Wang Lin took a deep breath. After calming his mind, he began to carefully observe his body. This body, whether it was the touch, the touch, or even the sense of his five senses, ears, and nose, was no different from a real body.
Gradually, Wang Lin became more and more confused. He couldn't understand how he could condense a body after absorbing the ancient god's inheritance of knowledge.
Apart from the lack of a golden core, this body was exactly the same as a normal person. There was no difference.
Wang Lin muttered to himself for a while. His left hand made a cut on his arm, and fresh blood flowed out. Staring at the blood, Wang Lin was finally sure that he had indeed recovered his previous body!
He closed his eyes and scanned his surroundings with his divine sense. Immediately, he discovered that there were no changes to his divine sense. Within his sea of consciousness, the Limiteer divine sense had transformed into a red lightning bolt that circled around the soul core of the Transmigration Soul. With each revolution, huge waves would rise up in his sea of consciousness, pushing out in all directions.
Whether it was the heaven defying bead or the Ji Realm, there were no abnormalities in his sea of consciousness.
After that, he carefully examined his body for a while. Finally, he opened his eyes and clenched his fists.
For Wang Lin, he didn't need any time to familiarize himself with the body formed by his divine sense. After all, this was his body to begin with. The moment he clenched his fists, Wang Lin's heart was filled with pride.
He raised his head, his eyes became cold, and he muttered to himself, "Teng Huayuan, you destroyed my body back then. Now I have reformed it. Once Wang reaches the Nascent Soul stage with this body, I will slaughter my way to the country of Zhao and wipe out your Teng family!
"This hatred can only be filled with the blood of your entire family. Only the souls of your Teng family members can make Wang's heart calm!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. When he first entered this place, he didn't expect there to be 94 ice crystals. As a result, his original plan was ruined.
He originally planned on absorbing the inheritance of 100 million crystals, finding the ink stone needed to make the restriction flag, then leaving this place. After that, he would return to where he stored his body and leave this Land of the Ancient God that he had been trapped in for so many years.
If everything went according to his plan, then Wang Lin would have gained a lot this time. Not only did he learn the art of restrictions, he also obtained the method to make the restriction flag, Hunchback Meng and the Ji Emperor's bags of holding, the beast trap, the 20 top quality spirit stones, and the 10 life treasures from Na Duo Mu and the others. It could be said that he had gained a lot this time.
In addition, there was also the most precious item … the inheritance of knowledge!
However, when he found out that there were 94 ice crystals, Wang Lin became very cautious. He believed that if he could enter this place, then others could as well.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came in. After waiting for a long time, Wang Lin understood that something must have happened.
More importantly, the place where he stored his body. All of Wang Lin's bags of holding were placed there. However, that place was between the cracks, so he didn't need to worry too much about its safety. However, if he didn't return to his body for a long time, something might happen. It wasn't until his body was formed that Wang Lin let out a sigh of relief.
As time passed, the speed at which Wang Lin absorbed the ice crystals became slower and slower. On this day, after the 57th ice crystal shattered, a faint star appeared between Wang Lin's eyebrows.
Wang Lin quietly sat in the lotus position inside the broken cocoon. His eyes were closed, and after a long time, he opened his eyes. There was a hint of ghostly light coming from his eyes.
The current Wang Lin looked like the simple youth from the State of Zhao many years ago. Although his appearance was the same, his temperament was like heaven and earth. At this moment, his white hair fluttered in the wind and his body gave off an extremely dangerous feeling.
He was like a ferocious beast that made everyone who saw him feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
The star on his forehead appeared between his eyebrows after he absorbed the 57th ice crystal. The moment the star appeared, his mind immediately became clear as if it was struck by lightning.
He clearly remembered that there were eight stars on the forehead of the Ancient God Tu Si. Whether it was refining weapons or alchemy, the Ancient God needed the help of some mysterious power from the stars in order to achieve their full power.
However, the stars on the Ancient God's forehead were dark red, while the star between his eyebrows only had a rough outline without any color. If one didn't look carefully, it would be very difficult to see the existence of the star.
Although he didn't know the use of these stars yet, Wang Lin believed that after he absorbs all of the ice crystals, he will have a complete understanding of all of this.
Although Wang Lin didn't know the use of the star, after absorbing the 50th ice crystal, he had a direct understanding of why his body would condense again.
The Ancient Gods focused on cultivating their bodies. Every Ancient God used the majority of the spiritual energy they obtained to strengthen their bodies.
Because of this, even an Ancient God's body would reach its limit after a period of time and be unable to become stronger.
At this time, they needed to expand their bodies, otherwise their cultivation would be stagnant.
Only by expanding their bodies would they be able to withstand more spiritual energy and obtain stronger cultivation.
It could be said that the larger an Ancient God's body was, the more spiritual energy it contained. Once it reached a certain level, the Ancient God would undergo a body reconstruction. This was a process of qualitative change.
Every Ancient God would experience countless body expansions in their lives. At the same time, they would also experience body reconstruction.
The more times they reconstructed, the stronger their cultivation would be and the stronger their bodies would be.
And every time they reconstructed, the Ancient God's consciousness would increase. There was no division of cultivation among the Ancient Gods. The focus of the Ancient God's cultivation was the consciousness and the body.
The inheritance of knowledge that Wang Lin absorbed contained the memories of the Ancient God Tu Si. Although Tu Si died while cultivating the Flowing Ink Clone Technique in his adulthood, his body had undergone eight reconstructions!
Every time they were reunited, it was an unforgettable memory for the Ancient Gods. It was a sign that they were moving towards a higher cultivation level.
Previously, Wang Lin had only obtained an extremely small portion of the Ancient God Yi's inheritance. The total amount was less than one percent, so there wasn't much change.
But after entering this place, he completely absorbed one of the ninety-four ice crystals. As a result, the spontaneous reconstruction of the Ancient God Yi's memories was activated.
Thus, Wang Lin's body began to reconstruct. With his consciousness as the guide and his memories as the foundation, Wang Lin experienced the process of body reconstruction. This was actually not a coincidence. If it was anyone else who obtained the Ancient God Yi's inheritance, they would also go through the same process.
It was just that when Wang Lin's body was reconstructed, it helped him return to his original body.
Although this body looked extremely ordinary and there was nothing special about it, in reality, the toughness of this body was much stronger than that of a normal cultivator.
If Wang Lin's body could be reconstructed eight times, then it could be said that his body was the body of a living Ancient God.
After understanding these seven blades, Wang Lin had a bold guess. There were eight stars on the Ancient God's forehead, and his body had been reconstructed eight times. Could there be some connection?
If that was the case, then it would explain why there was a star between his eyebrows. After all, his body had been reconstructed once.
However, according to Wang Lin's analysis, the reconstitution of his body hadn't been completed yet. Otherwise, why would the star between his eyebrows not have any color and be faintly discernible?
All of this was just Wang Lin's guess. He didn't have any exact memories, but he believed that he would have an answer soon.
After absorbing the 57 ice crystals, a portion of the broken chants, spells, and memories in Wang Lin's mind had started to slowly reassemble, forming a relatively complete consciousness that combined with his Divine Sense. There were even times when Wang Lin's Divine Sense was in a mess. Sometimes, he would think that he was Tu Si, and other times, he would return to normal and know that he was Wang Lin.
This feeling of confusion made him feel a strong sense of danger. Although Tu Si was already dead and there wouldn't be any incidents like possession, he analyzed that if he absorbed all of Tu Si's inherited memories, then if he didn't handle it well, it could cause his Divine Sense to be in a mess. Then, he would completely believe that he was Tu Si and forget about his true Divine Sense.
Because of this, Wang Lin slowed down the speed at which he absorbed the inheritance of knowledge. Only after he had completely absorbed it would he continue to absorb the next ice crystal.
As a result, the feeling of his Divine Sense being in a mess slowly dissipated. Although it would still occur sometimes, it wouldn't affect Wang Lin's Divine Sense anymore. It could be said that he was able to distinguish his priorities.
Although the speed had slowed down, it was more stable. Wang Lin wasn't in a hurry at this moment. He calmly digested the memories of the inheritance of knowledge.
Time passed, day after day. In this place, Wang Lin had completely lost the concept of time. After all, every time he merged into a cocoon, he would fall into a state of chaos. As for how much time had passed, he was no longer clear about it.
After so many days, I've finally written 6000 words!!!
Everyone, aren't you going to encourage me?
