Seeing the decisiveness in Wang Lin's eyes, Xuan Luo's eyes narrowed, but he didn't speak. He watched Wang Lin walk toward the 201st step.
The pressure from Mount Gu Dao arrived the moment Wang Lin stepped onto the step. It formed an indescribable pressure that smashed into Wang Lin's body.
The difference between the 200th step and the 200th step was huge. Before, it was just a raging wave that had forced Wang Lin to use all his strength to burn the outline of his Grand Empyrean sun before he could grit his teeth and walk through it. Now it was no longer just a raging wave, but the entire raging sea smashing into Wang Lin's body.
Just one step caused Wang Lin's face to become even more pale. His body trembled and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His body let out unbearable cracking sounds, as if his bones were being squeezed and his flesh was being torn apart. His soul was about to shatter and his soul was about to be erased!
He was like a lonely boat in the sea, vulnerable to the power of the entire sea!
However, Wang Lin didn't retreat. Even though there would be great danger if he continued, he didn't want to, wasn't willing to, and wasn't willing to give up!
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. This might be his last chance after failing to fuse with the celestial and ancient powers!
Once he gave up, not only would he lose the opportunity to fuse with the celestial and ancient powers, but it would also cast a shadow on Wang Lin's powerful heart. The shadow of Grand Empyrean Gu Dao and the unstoppable existence would cause great harm to Wang Lin's dao.
"Grand Empyrean Gu Dao … I must walk through these 300th step!"
Wang Lin's expression became distorted. The pain inside and outside of his body made him want to roar at the sky, but he suppressed it. He stored the power he wanted to roar in his body and took the second step!
The instant Wang Lin took his second step, a roar rang out in his head, and his body trembled even more violently. However, he could clearly sense the power of the Immortal's essence and the Ancient's power in his body being forcefully fused together by the pressure.
But during this fusion, there was a shocking force of rejection. If it wasn't for the pressure from Mount Gu Dao, Wang Lin definitely wouldn't have been able to stop this rejection, and the fusion of celestial and ancient would have failed again.
But now, there was no need for Wang Lin to suppress it. The pressure from Mount Gu Dao automatically suppressed it.
As Wang Lin struggled, he took a third step, then a fourth, a fifth, and a sixth!
Although his body was trembling, there seemed to be an astonishing tenacity in his not-so-tall body. This tenacity supported his spine, allowing him to raise his head and look at anyone he faced!
The seventh step, the eighth step!
When Wang Lin stepped onto the 208th step, the veins on his face bulged out. Creaking sounds came from his body, as if his bones were rubbing against each other!
But his eyes were still filled with the determination to never give up. He could sense the celestial and ancient power in his body rapidly fusing with the pressure, and there seemed to be something different about it!
"Ancient body on the outside, Essence cultivation on the inside, ancient and celestial fused into one body …" Wang Lin suddenly lifted his foot and took the ninth step. Then the tenth step. He stepped onto the 210th step!
The moment his foot landed, Wang Lin's essence cultivation and the Ancient's power continued to fuse together. Under the intense pressure from the outside, a sliver of power finally appeared!
This sliver of power was the fusion of celestial and ancient power. It was celestial power, ancient power, and also Wang Lin's own power!
The moment this power appeared, a scene that shocked Xuan Luo appeared in the sky. It caused the figure in the fog at the top of the tower to open his eyes!
The sky instantly turned from blue to gold. The golden sky gave off endless golden light that shrouded the area and rapidly spread out. In the blink of an eye, the sky within 100,000 kilometers was completely golden!
This golden sky could be seen from far away, and it was shocking!
This golden color was not created by a divine ability, nor was it caused by a spell. In the entire land of the Ancient race, there had never been such a scene that was not created by a divine ability or a spell. It was as if it was natural.
This scene caused Xuan Luo to suddenly raise his head. His eyes reflected the golden light in the sky.
Under this golden sky, the land of the Ji Clan was black. But now, this black color was countless times deeper. The entire land and the mountains above the land had all turned into endless black!
This black color would cause anyone's mind to tremble just by looking at it!
This was … "Nine songs and three signs, the first sign, golden sky and black earth!" Xuan Luo took a deep breath.
The nine songs and three signs were the heavenly phenomenon that occurred when the Celestial Ancestor and Ji Ancestor were born. The nine songs were ancient and the three signs were celestial. Since ancient times, aside from when the Celestial Ancestor and Ancient Ancestor were born, this phenomenon had never appeared before.
But now it appeared on Mount Gu Dao. The golden sky and black earth gave off an indescribable strangeness, causing the surroundings to instantly become calm.
Wang Lin didn't seem to see any of this. Right now, the only thought in his mind was to reach the 300th step and fuse his celestial and ancient powers!
The moment the golden sky and black earth appeared, Wang Lin raised his right foot and stepped onto the 211th step. The pressure from Mount Gu Dao caused Wang Lin's body to feel countless times heavier, but he didn't hesitate to take another step!
The 11th step, the 12th step, the Shi San step, the 14th step … all the way to the 19th step!
With each step, Wang Lin's body trembled. He was extremely weak, and even his origin soul and soul were trembling under the pressure, as if he couldn't bear it.
The moment he stepped onto the 219th step, Wang Lin's body exploded. However, as he collapsed, he turned into countless black strands that rapidly fused together to form Wang Lin's figure once more!
He didn't hesitate to use the power of slaughter to force his body to fuse together. As long as his origin soul wasn't destroyed and his soul didn't die, he could do this many times!
However, under this pressure, even if he fused thousands or tens of thousands of times, it would be useless. This was because his origin soul and soul would die under this pressure!
However, this life-threatening pressure was the best way to fuse Celestial Luck and Celestial Luck. As they continued to fuse, Wang Lin let out a heaven-shaking roar. He raised his foot and resolutely stepped onto the 220th step!
Popping sounds echoed like crazy. The instant Wang Lin's foot landed, his body collapsed dozens of times and turned into black smoke dozens of times. Finally, his body reformed, and he stood firm on the step!
The moment he steadied himself, a voice suddenly rang out amidst the golden sky and black earth. At first, the voice was not very clear, but it soon echoed in the golden sky and the black earth, and it became even clearer.
Listening carefully, this sound was the sound of the wind. However, what was strange was that there was no wind in this place. There was no wind, but the sound of the wind reverberated. It sounded like a song of the wind in the heavens!
However, the moment the song of the wind appeared, Xuan Luo's expression changed!
The four grey-robed people sitting on the four pillars around the tower at the top of the mountain opened their eyes at the same time. When they looked up at the sky, their unmoving expressions changed.
As for the figure in the fog at the top of the tower, the figure that had opened his eyes when the golden sky and black earth appeared was silent for a moment before he began to mutter.
"Song of the Wind … The first of the nine songs …" Another sliver of the power of Celestial Luck appeared in Wang Lin's body. This sliver of power did not circulate in his body, but remained still. As the Celestial Luck and Ancient power continued to fuse, it slowly grew stronger.
However, Wang Lin could sense that this power contained something he could not see through, but it clearly surpassed the power of Celestial Luck!
This was the power he longed to fuse with, the regret he felt after his failure in the past!
He heard the sound of the wind. The sound echoed in the world, as if it was singing praises and telling stories. However, Wang Lin could not hear the words clearly, just like how he could not hear the murmurs in the depths of the Heaven Defying Bead.
Silently, Wang Lin's body was covered in exhaustion, but he still took a step toward Mount Gu Dao. He gritted his teeth and walked toward the seemingly distant Mount Gu Dao. From the 220th step up, Wang Lin's body would not be able to withstand it, and he would turn into black strands to reform. However, his origin soul and soul were gradually unable to hold on.
It was as if he was reaching the limit of his life.
One step, one step, one step … When Wang Lin reached the 230th step, he coughed out a large mouthful of blood. The blood landed on the steps, and it was a shocking sight.
However, almost at the instant the blood landed, a second voice appeared within the Song of the Wind in the sky!
This was the sound of thunder. Thunderous rumbles echoed in all directions. This thunder was like a roar, and it contained an indescribable charm. As it continued to echo, it was like a song of heavenly thunder!
The sound of thunder echoed and fused with the Wind Song. It was as if there were tens of thousands of horses galloping through the golden sky and black earth!
"When the Ancient Ancestor was born, there were nine songs accompanying him. If all nine songs appear, they can form a birth music … Rumor has it that when the nine songs and three signs appear on the Immortal Astral Continent, the successor of the Ji Ancestor and the Celestial Ancestor will appear …" Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin. Looking at his disciple, he suddenly found it difficult to see through him … "In the cave world, I also saw … Silver Eye …"
"This is only a rumor that spread across the Immortal Astral Continent … Could it be him …" Xuan Luo was in a trance. He found it hard to believe what had happened today.
