Aside from Shimizu and Li Qianmei, Wang Lin had found all his old friends. He either unlocked the memories of his previous life or silently left and forgot about them. He had no more regrets on the Immortal Astral Continent.
Before going to the Heavenly Bull Continent, Wang Lin went to see Zhou Yi and Qing Shuang. When he saw the happy smile on Zhou Yi's face, Wang Lin also revealed a smile. He was happy for Zhou Yi.
Thousands of years of bitter love had finally come to fruition. When Wang Lin saw this, he took out the wine jug and took a big gulp. He had brought this wine jug from Situ Nan, and it had replaced Zhou Yi and Qing Shuang's wedding wine.
He also went to the ancestral city and saw Hai Zi. However, after looking at her from afar, Wang Lin turned and left.
The Heavenly Bull Continent, this was the first place he had appeared on the Immortal Astral Continent. After so many years, Wang Lin had returned.
He walked on this familiar land, passing by the Great Soul Sect and the 9J Sect.
These familiar scenes reminded him of the past. At the center of the Heavenly Bull Continent, above the mountain range, Wang Lin looked down and silently pondered for a moment.
"Heavenly Bull, the armor formed by your soul helped me through several crises … I, Wang Lin, clearly distinguish between kindness and grudges. You helped me back then, so today I'll release the seal left by the Celestial Ancestor and let you regain your freedom!
"However, your body has already turned into the earth and can't be taken back. I'll release the seal on your soul and let your soul form an origin soul to leave the Immortal Astral Continent. Are you willing?" Wang Lin looked at the earth and slowly spoke.
His voice was not loud, and neither did it travel in all directions. However, once he spoke, the ground started trembling. As booming sounds reverberated in the air, it was as if a wave of Earth Aura had rushed out, causing the mountain range to become indistinct, and a gigantic shadow could be vaguely seen.
This shadow was a Heavenly Bull. Its body was very large and looked like it could support the world. After it appeared, Wang Lin looked very small before it. However, this giant Heavenly Bull revealed a respectful expression and knelt down toward Wang Lin.
"Thank you … I'm willing …" A buzzing voice echoed, and it was filled with excitement and desire. It had been sealed for far too long, and today it finally had the chance to escape. This made the Heavenly Bull feel endless gratitude toward Wang Lin.
"No need to thank me. You helped me back then, so I'm just repaying you today."
Wang Lin looked at the Heavenly Bull and slowly raised his right hand. With this, the Heavenly Bull's body trembled and revealed a painful expression. Large amounts of runes appeared around its body and seemed to take root. Countless fine lines came out of the runes and formed a heart-like sphere inside the Heavenly Bull.
His heart was thumping non-stop.
This was the core of the Heavenly Bull's seal.
Looking at the heart-like object formed by a large amount of fine lines, Wang Lin pointed at it once more. All the runes around the Heavenly Bull collapsed. After they collapsed, the heart inside the Heavenly Bull trembled and rapidly shrank.
A moment later, when it was only the size of a fingernail, it flew out of the Heavenly Bull's soul and landed in Wang Lin's palm. He crushed it.
The Heavenly Bull's soul let out a roar at the sky. This roar created ripples that spread in all directions. The soul flew into the sky and stopped at the end of the world. It looked down at Wang Lin and knelt down once more before disappearing like a meteor.
After the Heavenly Bull's soul left, the Heavenly Bull Continent seemed to be different, but it was difficult to tell what was different. Wang Lin watched the Heavenly Bull's soul disappear and then he walked toward the Seven Dao Sect.
The Seven Dao Sect was where the cave world was.
The mountain peak was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see far into the distance. Furthermore, it was completely desolate. It had been a very long time since anyone had come to this place. However, on this day, there was a figure below the mountain peak, looking up.
It was a middle-aged man wearing a green robe. He looked at the mountain peak and the fog. Vaguely, he seemed to be able to see the ruins of the great hall behind the fog.
The man revealed a complicated expression and muttered, "Seven Dao Sect …"
"I'm finally here …" The middle-aged man bitterly shook his head and walked up the broken path. He walked very slowly, as if he wanted to memorize every blade of grass and every tree as he slowly walked into the fog.
It wasn't until he passed through the fog and arrived at the peak of the mountain that he saw the Seven Dao Sect and the main hall. Looking at this, the man's eyes were filled with confusion.
He looked at everything before him, and after a long time, he let out a sigh. He walked past the broken palace and finally found a huge stone door behind the ruins of the Seven Dao Sect. This stone door was connected to the mountain and was sealed. It was covered in moss and gave off the smell of decay.
The middle-aged man closed his eyes before the stone door.
When he opened his eyes again, he looked at the door and bitterly muttered to himself, "The door to the cave world …"
"Behind this gate is the Cave World … I was reincarnated from here."
The man sighed softly. Ever since he recovered his memories from his previous life, he had left his sect and followed that feeling to this place.
He arrived at the Seven Dao Sect and arrived before the door.
His body trembled and he slowly approached. His right hand gently touched the door, and after a long time, he revealed a determined expression. He turned around and was about to leave.
However, just as he turned around, he suddenly stopped. He saw a smiling, white-robed Wang Lin behind him.
"Senior Brother …" Wang Lin softly said.
"Wang Lin …" This middle-aged man was Shimizu!
He had recovered his memories of his previous life, and the mark on his body was almost undetectable. If more time passed, it would completely disappear.
Shimizu looked at Wang Lin and laughed. His laughter became louder and louder, and his heart was filled with joy. He stepped forward and hugged Wang Lin. Wang Lin also laughed.
They sat down before the door of the cave world. Wang Lin took out wine and drank with Shimizu.
They forgot about the passage of time. In this drunken stupor, they told each other about their experiences. They talked, laughed, and cried.
The two of them from the cave world reunited on the Immortal Astral Continent.
When Wang Lin mentioned Red Butterfly, Shimizu was startled for a moment. He bitterly smiled and took a big gulp of wine.
"Let's forget the past. Since we've come to the Immortal Astral Continent, everyone's choice is different. However, my choice is not to forget!
"Perhaps there is a way for me to resurrect Han Yan here, there must be!" Shimizu muttered.
Wang Lin couldn't resurrect someone who had been dead for so long that not even her soul existed. However, he didn't tell Shimizu that if a person didn't even have hope, they would only be left with despair.
When the morning sun shined through the fog, Shimizu left. He didn't choose to forget and naturally wouldn't return to the cave world. He had only come here to see the Seven Dao Sect and the sect that existed in the cave world.
Now that his wish had been fulfilled and he had seen Wang Lin, he was filled with joy. Now he was going to pursue his dream. Even if it took him a lifetime, even if he had to reincarnate again and again, he was still persistent.
Wang Lin watched Shimizu disappear into the fog. He stood outside the door with a complicated expression.
Of all the old friends, only Shi San had chosen to follow Wang Lin back to the cave world. For Shi San, being by his teacher's side was the greatest satisfaction in his life.
Everyone else had their own responsibilities, missions, and fetters. Since they had reincarnated, most of them chose to forget and start anew.
Wang Lin pushed open the door to the cave world. When the door opened, there was a flash of powerful light. He walked in and disappeared without a trace.
The door closed once more.
The Seven Dao Sect was still shrouded in fog. It was an abandoned ruin that no one cared about.
Cave world.
The barrier between the Inner and Outer Realms was extremely strong. Over the past hundreds of years, the forces of the Outer Realm had attacked once, but they couldn't break the barrier.
Wang Lin's name had become a legend in the cave world, an unreal existence. Many people remembered him, but at the same time, even more people had forgotten him.
Even the cultivators of the Inner Realm were the same. Only the statue on Suzaku, which was considered a holy land, and the legends of Wang Lin were occasionally mentioned.
In addition to this, there was another place where the story of Wang Lin continued. That was the new Celestial Realm!
This was the Celestial Realm created by Wang Lin. Many cultivators from the four major star systems had moved here. Most of them had survived the war. Many of them had personally seen Wang Lin, and a few had even fought alongside Wang Lin against the Outer Realm.
Mu Bingmei didn't leave back then. She chose to stay in the cave world, in the new Celestial Realm. She was waiting for a person to return one day.
Dao Master Blue Dream didn't leave either. As the strongest person in the Celestial Realm, he stayed here to protect the peace of the Celestial Realm. There were also some people, like Master South Cloud, who didn't leave.
However, at this moment, the new Celestial Realm was filled with pressure. It was as if there was a dark cloud shrouding the new Celestial Realm. This caused many cultivators to silently ponder.
Dao Master Blue Dream was seriously injured.
Master South Cloud's body had collapsed, leaving only his origin soul.
The entire sky of the Celestial Realm was blood red. There were countless shadows flashing inside the blood red sky, revealing ferocious expressions. It was as if there were a large amount of ghosts hidden inside the blood red sky.
"Teacher gave you all five days to choose. Three days have passed. In the last two days, I hope you all can give a sensible answer. Submit to my Scarlet Soul Sect, or else … die!"
There was a young man wearing a red robe inside the blood red sky. He slowly spoke to the cultivators below.
"As for you, Mu Bingmei, you only have two days to choose. In two days, when the Celestial Realm formation is broken, if you don't become my dao partner, I'll slaughter Suzaku and destroy the statue of that person named Lin!"
The second update was delivered!
