Xuan Luo calmly stood there, but there was a struggle in his heart. He understood that Grand Empyrean Gu Dao was dissatisfied with him, so he wanted him to wait outside.
He also understood that the source of this dissatisfaction was because his disciple, Wang Lin, had celestial cultivation and essence in his body!
Grand Empyrean Gu Dao was someone who adhered to tradition. He cared about the descendants of the Ancient Ancestor, the past Ancient Emperors, and the soul blood of the Celestial Ancestor!
However, he obviously couldn't allow someone with such a soul blood to still have the aura of the celestial clan.
Wang Lin's body trembled. During these three days of time, the sound of the bell entered his mind and turned into a thunderous rumble. It suppressed his cultivation and essences, and it was going to erase them.
"Whether it is the power of the ancient clan or the celestial clan, they are both what I, Wang Lin, have cultivated my entire life. This is the power of my cultivation. Once I lose it and only have the power of the ancient clan left, I won't allow it!" Wang Lin's eyes were red, but his will was extremely firm. He continued to struggle against the sound of the bell!
The celestial power inside his body continued to attack in an attempt to break the sound of the bell.
As Wang Lin's body trembled violently, Xuan Luo's eyes lit up. He suddenly turned around and raised his right hand to help Wang Lin resist the sound of the bell. After all, Wang Lin was his disciple!
However, just as Xuan Luo turned around, the door of the tower opened once more and the young man walked out.
"Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo, the Ancient Master has summoned you.
Xuan Luo paused and silently pondered for a long time. His right hand still pointed to between Wang Lin's eyebrows before he turned around and walked into the tower. The young man looked at Wang Lin meaningfully before retreating into the tower and closing the door.
The power of Xuan Luo's finger caused Wang Lin's body to rumble violently. A warm aura rushed into his body. It didn't suppress his cultivation, but it resisted the small amount of power contained in the sound of the bell.
As a result, Wang Lin's cultivation and essences seemed to ease up a bit. They quickly condensed and began to activate.
The power of Xuan Luo's finger and the sound of the bells canceled each other out. After some time, the sound gradually faded away. Wang Lin's cultivation base and Xi Yuan's circulated rapidly. At the instant they circulated through his entire body, the bells on the chains on the four sides of the tower started ringing again, even though there was no wind. The sound of the bells did not stop, and they surged into Wang Lin's body like waves.
Another round of fighting began against Wang Lin's cultivation base and Essence.
Wang Lin coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body swayed as he retreated several steps from the top of the mountain to the stairs.
"Scatter your celestial cultivation, erase your essence, forget your past memories, and awaken your bloodline inheritance … From now on, I will grant you the guardian of the Ancient Dao and the ability to become a Grand Empyrean!"
A phrase that was filled with the vicissitudes of life echoed in Wang Lin's mind amidst the sound of the bell.
Wang Lin suddenly looked up.
His eyes were filled with wisps of blood. The cultivation in his body began to circulate, combining with his Ji Clan's power, instantly reaching the peak of his current power.
"I don't have celestial cultivation in my body. What I have is the power that belongs to me after teaching Wang Lin for more than 3,000 years!
What right do you have to make me scatter it!? "
As Wang Lin roared, the sound of the bells inside his body rumbled and collided with Wang Lin's cultivation base. Wang Lin coughed out blood again and continued to retreat. It was as if a pushing force had pushed Wang Lin back hundreds of steps until he was standing on the mountainside of Jidao Mountain.
"My essence is the precipitation of my life. It carries my life's fate and struggles. What right do you have to make me go!?"
Wang Lin raised his head, and his eyes became even more bloodshot. He let out a roar of his life at the tower on the mountain.
As he roared, Wang Lin coughed out a third mouthful of blood. His body trembled and the bell inside his body bombarded him once more. This time, he retreated to the foot of the mountain. There were only 19 steps behind him!
"My memories are more important than my cultivation, more important than my essence, more important than my bloodline inheritance, and more important than the Grand Empyrean ability you gave me!!
I live my life for my memories. What right do you have to make me forget them!? "
Wang Lin let out his strongest roar. The power of the bells inside his body rumbled as if they were exploding inside his body. Wang Lin coughed out a fourth mouthful of blood and retreated 18 steps. On the last step, Wang Lin stomped down with his right foot. Popping sounds came from his body and he forced himself to stop.
He raised his head. His eyes were bloodshot and his expression was ferocious. However, the power of the bells inside his body had been completely suppressed by him. Without the power of the bells, Wang Lin's power erupted. His hair became half black and half white, and the outline of an Empyrean Exalt sun appeared behind him!
This Grand Empyrean sun was also half black and half white, and it gave off a strange light. This allowed Wang Lin to display his strongest power, the power of a Grand Empyrean!
The sky above Mount Gu Dao changed when Wang Lin's Grand Empyrean sun appeared!
"Mount Gu Dao has 999 steps. If you can walk past 300, I'll forgive your crime of disrespect!" The indifferent and ancient voice came from the tower at the top of the mountain and echoed across the world.
At the highest level of the tower sat a figure shrouded in mist. In front of him was Xuan Luo.
"Senior Gu Dao …" Xuan Luo was anxious.
"I don't approve of you as a disciple!" An indifferent voice came from the figure covered in fog.
"However, since he was brought here by you, if he can walk past 300 steps, I can let you take him away. However, I won't help awaken the drop of soul blood in his body.
"As for the person who will protect Daoji's bloodline … Since you chose him, then let him be.
"However, he can no longer leave the Ancient clan, or else I'll act." The figure in the fog said coldly without the slightest emotion.
Xuan Luo had a bitter expression. He had brought Wang Lin here with good intentions, but he didn't expect Grand Empyrean Jidao to say such words. Xuan Luo revealed a decisive gaze and clasped his hands at the figure in the fog.
The figure in the fog slowly said, "If he can't pass 300 steps, he needs to stay."
Xuan Luo silently pondered.
At the bottom of Mount Gu Dao, Wang Lin stood there and looked at the top. He knew that his teacher was there, perhaps looking at him.
"Wang Lin, use your strongest cultivation to walk past 300 steps!
Let Grand Empyrean Gu Dao see if my disciple has the ability! "Xuan Luo's voice came from the top of the mountain and was filled with anger.
This was Xuan Luo's anger. He spoke from the top of the tower and didn't care about Grand Empyrean Jidao at all.
"I brought him out of the cave world, I brought him here. I must take him away unless I die!"
After Xuan Luo finished speaking, he turned to look at the figure in the fog. Xuan Luo stood up straight and no longer bowed.
The figure in the fog didn't speak. The top of the tower was completely silent.
Xuan Luo had a special feeling for Wang Lin. He had seen Wang Lin struggle in the cave world, seen his determination, and even saw Wang Lin's true feelings for the lonely woman named Wan Er.
Xuan Luo couldn't forget the tears he saw in Wang Lin's eyes and his longing for his wife in the cave world.
This made him think of himself and his past. Everything that had happened with Wang Lin in the celestial clan made Xuan Luo see his own shadow. Over the years, he seemed to have overlapped with Wang Lin.
Wang Lin stood on the first step of Mount Gu Dao, and his teacher's words echoed in his ears. His eyes were filled with decisiveness. He didn't like climbing Mount Gu Dao, and he no longer had any respect for Grand Empyrean Gu Dao!
"In this world, the strong control the fate of the weak … Gu Dao's cultivation level is high, and he is the number one person in the Immortal Astral Continent, so he can force things on me … However, one day, if I, Wang Lin, look up to the strong and replace Gu Dao, then I will be the heavens!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and the outline of the Grand Empyrean sun behind him shined brightly. This light entered Wang Lin's body, making him seem taller.
He suddenly raised his foot and took a step toward the steps!
This step was the first time Wang Lin had resisted in the Ancient clan!
This was the first time he had defied the ancients, the first crack in his relationship with the Ji clan!
He had originally planned to stay in the Ancient clan, but due to his teacher's kindness, he had endured the Ancient Dao Emperor's words and endured the helplessness of not being used to the imperial power here.
But now, even if he continued to endure, there was a crack that could not be erased between him and the Ji Clan. Perhaps if nothing else happened in the future, this crack would slowly heal due to the relationship between his master, Xuan Luo. However, this chance had completely vanished into thin air at this moment, during a major event of the royal clan in Lucky Dao Imperial City!
In the imperial palace of the Ancient Dao imperial city, the Ancient Dao Emperor was sitting in a side palace. His eyes were open as he looked ahead. Before him, there were three old men in purple kneeling in excitement.
"Your Majesty, over the hundreds of years, we have tried to fuse the soul with countless women, but none of them succeeded. The women that were chosen were unable to fuse with the soul, and there was a great rejection that prevented them from nourishing the soul.
"But now a woman has successfully fused with the soul!!"
The old man's voice was filled with excitement. They had secretly done this for hundreds of years, and now that they had succeeded, what awaited the FFF would be a great reward!
"Where did the person who succeeded come from and what is his name?"
The Ancient Dao Emperor looked calm, but there was a hint of expectation in his heart. He could not forget the words of the Imperial Teacher. This soul fragment could allow him to become the true Ancient Emperor that would unify the Ancient clan for countless years!!
One of the three old men kneeling quickly said, "She came from the Ancient Shi, her name is Song Zhi!!"
"Let Song Zhi enter the palace. I want to personally see this woman.
I will announce to the world that in three months, I will hold the Six Empress Ceremony!
I will take Song Zhi as my wife and make her the empress of my Ancient Dao! "The Ancient Dao Emperor laughed and his eyes shined brightly.
"There are still a few more monthly votes to go up one step. Fellow cultivators that still have monthly votes are eagerly waiting for you. I beg for monthly votes!!
