Thunderous rumbles echoed in his ears. It was obvious the four Grand Empyreans outside were using their full power to break the golden light. Time was of the essence, and the Celestial Emperor knew he didn't have much time left!
If he couldn't absorb the power of the Celestial Ancestor's head by force, then once the golden light dissipated, the four Grand Empyreans would arrive and all his efforts would be wasted.
He would never allow this to happen. Now that he was at the last step, he was about to succeed, and he wasn't willing to fail!
"Not even the Imperial Teacher could see through my plan. Jiu Ti only came because he was in the ancestral city, but Dao Yi and Wu Feng arrived so quickly!"
The Celestial Emperor clenched his teeth and raised his right hand without hesitation. He pointed forward, and the moment his finger landed, his finger collapsed and turned into flesh and blood.
"With the flesh and blood of the Celestial Ancestor's descendant, guide the law of the Immortal Astral Continent to release the eternal seal of the Dao Wang clan!!"
The Celestial Emperor let out a roar and the remaining fingers of his right hand collapsed once more. This time, not only his fingers, but even his palm.
The collapse was still spreading. By the time the Celestial Emperor finished speaking, half of his right arm had already been lost!
Large amounts of golden blood spread and condensed into a golden blood rune before him. This rune burned on its own and turned to ashes in the blink of an eye!
The moment the golden rune burned, the Imperial Teacher inside the Celestial Ancestor's right eye that had occupied Wang Lin's body trembled. The seal that had bound his Dao Wang clan for generations disappeared!
The moment the seal disappeared, tears flowed down from the Imperial Teacher's eyes. These were tears of excitement. This was his life's pursuit, and he had given everything for it. He wanted to release the seal so that his clan could escape the fate they had been destined to since birth!
The moment the seal was released, the power of the Celestial Emperor rushed into the Celestial Ancestor's right eye and entered Wang Lin's body. This power easily erased all traces of the Imperial Teacher's existence and destroyed him!
This was the Immortal Emperor's final killing move. He wouldn't let the Imperial Preceptor continue to exist after the seal was undone. The moment the seal was undone, the Imperial Preceptor would die.
The moment the Imperial Tutor, who had occupied Wang Lin's body, died, a layer of memory that had been sealed for some time seemed to awaken in his mind.
He vaguely recalled that the Dao Wang Clan had been passed down until now. Almost all of their clansmen had been extinct, and a long time after they were born, including him, there were only three people left.
He did not know who his parents were and no one had told him. He only knew that he was a member of the Dao Wang Race … Other than him, he also saw a woman and a baby girl.
This pair of mother and daughter were like his family!
He recalled that the woman was the former Imperial Preceptor, and that he wasn't the Imperial Preceptor. The real Imperial Preceptor was the baby girl.
He didn't know who the baby girl's father was. He only remembered that the baby girl disappeared not long after she was born, and he was treated as the Imperial Preceptor by the woman to be taught the spells of his clan.
Slowly, he grew up. His memories were sealed, and he still believed that he was the Imperial Preceptor. Gradually, when the woman also died, he was filled with benevolence. In his memories, there were many of his clan members, and they were all in slumber. They were not dead. His mission was to think of all possible methods to unseal the fate of his sleeping clan members.
He always thought that he had a lot of clan members … but at this moment, when his memories awakened, he remembered that aside from the missing baby girl, he was the only one left in his clan … "No wonder the Celestial Emperor dared to unlock the seal … because the Celestial Emperor knew that I was the only member of the Dao Wang Race … As long as I died, even if the seal was unlocked, it would not matter.
"So I'm not the Imperial Preceptor … Then … am I a member of the Dao Wang Race … Am I … I should be … Now that the seal has been unlocked, the missing baby girl, the real Imperial Preceptor, who is she now …" This pitiful person who always thought he was the Imperial Preceptor and was willing to give up everything for his clan. He schemed against the Celestial Emperor until he failed and fell into despair. His final thoughts slowly dissipated as he died.
Even until his death, he didn't know who the real Imperial Preceptor was … However, even at the moment of his death, he didn't feel any resentment. He knew that perhaps this was his mission. In order to protect the real Imperial Preceptor and unlock the seal on his clan, this was the mission he was destined to fulfill from the moment he was born.
The moment this pitiful person died, the power from the Celestial Emperor swept through Wang Lin's body. After confirming that there were no more soul fluctuations in Wang Lin's body, the power swept through Wang Lin's body one more time before retreating.
However, even the Celestial Emperor didn't notice the existence of the Heaven Defying Bead in Wang Lin's body, nor did he notice that the Heaven Defying Bead was shrouding Wang Lin's soul!
After unlocking the seal on the Dao Wang Race, the Celestial Emperor revealed an excited expression. He thought that everything was under his control. His powerful confidence hadn't dissipated, and he began to rapidly absorb the power of the Celestial Ancestor's head!
Strands of golden smoke came out of the Celestial Ancestor's orifices and entered the Celestial Emperor's orifices, causing the Celestial Emperor's cultivation level to increase greatly.
Excitement and thoughts filled the Celestial Emperor's body.
He was surrounded by the golden light, so he didn't see that outside the golden light, Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi's body trembled violently when the Celestial Emperor released the seal on the Dao Wang Race.
Hai Zi's eyes revealed confusion and struggle. It was as if a memory was awakening in her mind. As the seal on the Dao Wang Race dissipated, a power awakened in Hai Zi's body!!
This power came from the Dao Wang Race, it belonged to the true Imperial Preceptor of the Celestial Clan!!
Her eyes gradually shined brightly. She subconsciously raised her right hand and pointed at the Celestial Ancestor's head that was emitting golden light!
"All existences exist because they exist, so they can be lost. This is death …
"All the dead, because the living miss them, so they have thoughts from nothingness. This is mourning …
"The Dao Wang Clan takes the thoughts of the living, takes the existence of the dead, takes the spiritual sustenance, takes the power of this life and the future, condenses Joss Flames, and … turns mourning into death. Let what exists continue to exist and let the dead … return to nothingness!"
Hai Zi murmured. The moment her finger landed, the golden light rapidly shrank and returned to the Celestial Ancestor's head.
When the golden light dissipated, the Celestial Emperor that was hidden inside the golden light was revealed!
There was also the Celestial Ancestor's head below the Celestial Emperor. There was a flash of golden light and the head's eyes slowly closed. It was filled with death aura once more and lost the power to float in the air. It fell toward the ground.
It also interrupted the absorption of the Celestial Ancestor's golden aura into the Celestial Emperor's body. The golden aura that had already entered the Celestial Emperor's body seemed to lose its support. It scattered from the Celestial Emperor's body and returned to the Celestial Ancestor's head.
This sudden scene startled the Celestial Emperor. His eyes widened and were filled with disbelief. He looked up and saw Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi!
"This … This is impossible!!!
The Imperial Preceptor is dead, completely dead. You're not the Imperial Preceptor, you're not from the Dao Wang Clan. How can you have the Imperial Preceptor's power?! "
The Celestial Emperor almost went crazy. He didn't dare to believe what he was seeing. He didn't dare to believe it and didn't want to believe it!
"You're definitely not from the Dao Wang Clan!!
Under the Celestial Ancestor's seal, it's impossible for the Dao Wang Clan to leave the palace, the ancestral city … You're the Undying Imperial Preceptor, who the hell are you!? "
The Celestial Emperor's face was pale. He thought he had everything under control and that no one knew of his plan. He had great confidence in himself.
Everything was going according to his plan. Aside from Dao Yi and Wu Feng's sudden appearance, which caused the Celestial Emperor's plan to be slightly delayed, everything else was normal!
However, just as he was about to succeed and absorb the power from the Celestial Ancestor's head, he suddenly found that everything was not what he had expected. Everything he had done was within someone else's plan!
"I … I'm the Imperial Preceptor …" Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi had a complicated expression as she softly said, "I'm … The Imperial Preceptor …" Her memories had awakened, including her mother's memories and the inheritance of the Imperial Preceptor.
"The one who died was the last member of my clan on the Immortal Astral Continent beside me …" Hai Zi let out a sigh.
"What the hell is going on? This is impossible. If you're the Imperial Preceptor, how could you leave the ancestral city!?
Jiu Ti, tell me!! "
The Celestial Emperor took a deep breath. As a Grand Empyrean, although he was close to going crazy, he forced himself to calm down.
"This plan was thought of by a genius of my clan. In order to achieve this, he didn't hesitate to make it seem like he was splitting up. In the end, he successfully left this place and created the Great Soul Sect … Although he died, he perfected this plan and passed it down. He also found the key person in this plan, and that person was Wang Lin!
A cultivator from the cave world … Only his body could be possessed by my clan to perfectly carry out this plan … "As for why I could leave the ancestral city … That is because my soul belongs to the Dao Wang clan, but my body belongs to the Immortal Astral Continent …" Hai Zi said softly.
Jiu Ti silently pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "Celestial Emperor, she is my daughter!"
"The reason I can live until now, have endless lifespan, and even become a Grand Empyrean is all because of the help of the Dao Wang clan!
The Dao Wang clan prepared this plan for a long time and only began executing it when they divined that Wang Lin would appear on the Immortal Astral Continent! "Jiu Ti's expression was calm as he looked at the Celestial Emperor.
Wang Lin was inside the Celestial Ancestor's head and also heard all of this. While everyone's attention was on Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi and Jiu Ti, his soul came out from the Heaven Defying Bead and he regained control of his body!
"So this is the truth!!" His eyes lit up and shined brightly!
The monthly votes are in short supply. Fellow cultivators, help me out!!!
