This voice wasn't loud, it wasn't heaven-shaking!
However, the moment it echoed, a pressure no weaker than Mount Gu Dao's came from Wang Lin's body!!
The pressure was enough to cause anyone who sensed it to be astonished!
It has to be said that the pressure from Mount Gu Dao came from Grand Empyrean Gu Dao, the strongest person on the Immortal Astral Continent!
However, the pressure from Wang Lin's body was no weaker than Mount Gu Dao's!
The meaning of this was enough to terrify anyone!
As the two words echoed, the entire Mount Gu Dao trembled violently. Dust flew everywhere as if the mountain was going to collapse. The two grey-robed people before Wang Lin overlapped and formed a fist. The head formed by the grey fog around the fist let out a miserable scream 30 feet away from Wang Lin.
The head seemed as if it was swept by a violent gust of wind, and it dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the fist formed by the overlapping figures of the two grey-robed men shattered and collapsed with a loud bang!
As it collapsed, the figure seemed to have been struck by a great force and was immediately sent tumbling back. Once it turned back into two people in midair, they coughed up a mouthful of blood, and expressions of disbelief appeared on their calm faces.
After the two of them coughed out blood, they couldn't stop and were forced back even more. They were pushed back more than 10,000 feet by the power of Wang Lin's roar.
Mount Gu Dao rumbled and a giant, black hand appeared from the tower at the top of Mount Gu Dao. It instantly grew to more than 1,000 feet and pressed down on Wang Lin like a black, five-fingered mountain.
The five-fingered mountain formed a cycle with the power that was neither celestial nor ancient inside Wang Lin's roar. The pressure they formed collided on Mount Gu Dao.
Thunderous rumbles echoed and the black, five-fingered mountain trembled violently before being pushed back and disappearing. Wang Lin's body trembled and the mysterious power that had fused with the celestial and ancient power separated. The ancient and celestial power inside Wang Lin's body began its second cycle, but it was much slower. It would take decades for it to complete one cycle.
Xuan Luo saw this and sucked in a breath of cold air.
After pondering for a moment, a cold voice came from the tower.
"Come up, this lord will awaken the Soul Blood for you …"
Wang Lin's face was pale as he stood on the 300th step. He didn't speak but raised his foot and took one step forward. When his foot landed on the 301st step, the drop of Soul Blood inside Wang Lin's body melted and completely fused with his body.
He no longer needed Grand Empyrean Gu Dao to make the drop of Soul Blood perfectly fuse with his body. The bloodline inheritance inside gradually revealed itself.
Wang Lin silently stood there and clasped his hands at the top of Mount Gu Dao.
"Thank you, Grand Empyrean Gu Dao."
Wang Lin was not a reckless person. The gap between him and Grand Empyrean Gu Dao was very big. Even though Gu Dao had told him to leave on the 300th step, Wang Lin still buried his indifference toward Gu Dao in his heart and said his goodbyes.
Moreover, the fusion of the celestial and ancient bloodlines was indeed thanks to Grand Empyrean Gu Dao's pressure. Perhaps this was a coincidence, or perhaps this was Grand Empyrean Gu Dao's tacit agreement.
However, no matter what, Wang Lin understood that Grand Empyrean Gu Dao was the strongest person on the Immortal Astral Continent, so Wang Lin had to bow to him.
After a long time, Grand Empyrean Gu Dao's cold voice came from the tower. "You can rest assured, this lord said that if you can reach the 300th step, I'll let you leave … Now that you've passed, you can go down the mountain!"
It was as if Grand Empyrean Gu Dao was pondering before he spoke those words.
Wang Lin didn't speak anymore and walked down the mountain. When he arrived next to Xuan Luo, he saw the faint fluctuations around Xuan Luo's body. It was obvious that if Gu Dao went back on his word, Xuan Luo would act.
"Teacher …" Wang Lin softly said. Xuan Luo's actions caused the rift between Wang Lin and the Ancient clan to feel warmth.
"Let's go."
Xuan Luo looked profoundly at Wang Lin and buried the shock from the Eight Songs and Two Phases. He waved his sleeves and took Wang Lin into the sky.
It wasn't until the two of them disappeared that the two injured grey-robed men returned to the pillars on Mount Gu Dao. They looked into the distance with complicated gazes before closing their eyes to cultivate again.
After a long time, a sigh came from the tower.
The figure inside the fog on the top floor stood up. His body was shrouded in fog as he walked to the window.
His gaze seemed to fall on the direction Xuan Luo and Wang Lin had gone.
Xuan Luo brought Wang Lin back to the Ancient Dao imperial city a few days later. Wang Lin lived in the wooden house behind the Ancient Dao Temple for a long time.
Xuan Luo didn't ask about what had happened on Mount Gu Dao, and Wang Lin didn't explain. It was as if it had never happened and Xuan Luo had hidden it. As one month passed, it seemed to have disappeared.
During this month, Wang Lin was in closed door cultivation inside the wooden house. He had gone to many places on Mount Gu Dao and absorbed a lot of essences. This allowed his essences to grow a lot and his cultivation level to increase.
His essences and ancient power seemed to have returned to their original positions during this month. His essences still formed their essence true bodies, and his ancient power still formed the 27 stars between his eyebrows and his eyes.
Although it looked ordinary, only Wang Lin knew that he only needed one thought to fuse his celestial and ancient power into a short burst of power.
That burst of power was comparable to Mount Gu Dao's!
As his essences and ancient power grew, this short fusion would last even longer and the power he could erupt with would become even stronger!
One day, when they fused completely and it wasn't like now, where they could only fuse for a short time, he would have the same power as Grand Empyrean Gu Dao.
Right now, the strand of celestial and ancient power inside his body was still slowly rotating. It would take a long time for it to complete a cycle.
On this day, Wang Lin opened his eyes from his cultivation. His eyes lit up and he raised his right hand. A cylinder appeared in his hand. After pondering for a moment, he opened it. There was a bit of liquid inside that emitted pure wood essence energy.
Wang Lin took out a drop and absorbed it into his body. That drop of liquid immediately dissipated, and at the same time, Wang Lin's wood essence rapidly increased.
Three days later, when Wang Lin absorbed another drop, his wood essence was rapidly approaching the level of an essence true body.
Another half a month passed. When all the liquid in the cylinder was absorbed by Wang Lin, an overlapping shadow appeared on Wang Lin's body. The five-element true body appeared and stood before Wang Lin.
The five-element true body's expression was normal as it stood before Wang Lin. Its body emitted a colorless glow. The light that represented the wood and metal essences was a bit dim and not as bright as the other three colors. However, the light that represented the wood essence became brighter and brighter. A few days later, the light reached the same level as the water, fire, and earth essences!
The five-element true body trembled and split into four figures and a ball of light. Besides the water, fire, and earth essence true bodies, there was one more. It was Wang Lin's wood essence true body!
The golden ball of light at the center of the four true bodies was the metal essence. It hadn't formed its true body yet.
Wang Lin opened his eyes and looked at the golden ball of light. He hesitated for a moment, but a moment later, his gaze became decisive. He raised his right hand and a golden fragment appeared.
This fragment was the fragment of the Celestial Extreme Sword. Wang Lin had obtained it on the street of the celestial ancestral city. He had refined it before but hadn't completely fused with it. Now that he took it out, along with the metal essence power he had absorbed under Xuan Luo's guidance over the past few months, he was going to fuse them together to reach the final completion of his five-element true body!
Once the metal essence formed its true body, the five-element true body's power would increase greatly. It would also verify the analysis and speculations Wang Lin had made before he came to the celestial ancestral city.
"The five-element true body has reached completion. If my cultivation level can increase, then my speculations are correct!"
Wang Lin no longer hesitated. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of golden gas. It surrounded the golden sword fragment and the metal essence.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another month went by … It had been two and a half months since Wang Lin and Xuan Luo returned to the Ancient Dao imperial city.
During this period of time, Wang Lin stayed inside the cabin and didn't take a step out. Xuan Luo had come twice and observed outside the cabin. He knew that Wang Lin was condensing his essence and that there was no danger, so he left.
On this morning, when the first ray of sunlight shined on the earth and lifted the black curtain, the warmth spread across the valley. A jade flew from the direction of the Ancient Dao Temple. It circled the cabin several times before landing on the grass outside the cabin and stopped moving.
However, a moment later, the jade trembled and turned into a ray of light. It flew into the wood house and was caught by Wang Lin, who was calmly sitting inside the wood house.
His divine sense scanned the jade and found that it was an abandoned jade. It didn't say much, but it was an invitation.
"The Ancient Dao Emperor will be crowning the empress in 10 days …" Wang Lin's expression was neutral as he withdrew his divine sense from the jade. The jade had been sent by the Ancient Dao imperial palace to invite Wang Lin to participate in this grand ceremony.
"For this jade to be sent here, it must have obtained Teacher's approval. It seems this grand ceremony is very important to the Ancient Dao." Wang Lin pondered.
"The Ancient Dao Emperor has been choosing concubines for hundreds of years, and now he has finally chosen one to be his empress … Should I go or not …" Wang Lin had reached a critical moment in fusing with the metal essence, so he didn't want to participate in this grand ceremony.
