At the center of the circular land in the Immemorial God Realm, there were two figures on the mountain covered in seven-colored snowflakes.
They were Wang Lin and Li Muwan.
They stood there, looking at the bridge not far away, and softly whispered to each other.
Wang Lin's eyes were filled with gentleness as he looked at Li Muwan. He had waited for this scene for thousands of years, and it had finally appeared again.
The falling seven-colored snowflakes were no longer filled with sorrow. It was completely different from the scene Wang Lin had seen in the Shiji Ancestral Temple.
"This is a long story, Wan Er. After we leave this place, let's find an ordinary place. Let me spend the rest of my life telling you this story, okay? And Ping 'er and his wife, Qing Yi. You will definitely like them," Wang Lin said softly.
Li Muwan nodded. She looked at the man in front of her. His face was the same as before, but from what she could see, there were traces of the vicissitudes of life and the passage of time.
She could imagine how much hardship and price Wang Lin had paid in order to wake her up.
"Now, let me take you and we will trample the sky together …" Wang Lin raised his head and looked at the bridge not far away. His eyes were the brightest they had been in thousands of years, and there was no sorrow in them.
He held Li Muwan's hand. After she woke up, he hadn't let go. He was afraid that once he let go, he wouldn't be able to find her again.
The two of them gradually walked forward, onto the Sky-Trampling Bridge, and walked toward the end of the bridge, toward the illusion that was connected to the sky, one step at a time.
Li Muwan also held Wang Lin's hand. She didn't want to let go for the rest of her life. She could feel the warmth coming from his hand, and it made her heart feel a warmth and peace that she hadn't felt for thousands of years.
Their figures gradually walked forward until they reached the end of the bridge. The moment they were about to step on it, Wang Lin stopped. He raised his left hand and waved at the ground behind him.
With this wave, three rays of light appeared out of nowhere and charged toward the ground.
Within the first beam of light was half a Feng Shui compass. It fused with the land, causing the circular land to rumble. The previously illusory half of the land suddenly became corporeal, and the countless cracks and mountain ranges that formed the scales and magical symbols began to shine with blinding light. Now that they were complete, they seemed to be in full operation.
Inside the second arc was a huge pointer. It floated up and rapidly descended, fusing with the mountain covered in seven-colored snowflakes. The pointer swept across the circular land.
A majestic force spread out from the ground, causing a deafening rumble.
Inside the third rainbow was a pearl, a white pearl. The Heaven Defying Bead!
It floated there, emitting a soft glow. Its appearance caused the entire land mass, the Boundary Geocompass, to seem complete.
"Withdraw!" Wang Lin said softly.
The moment he spoke, the land rumbled and shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. A large amount of fog surrounded it, and after a moment, the entire land disappeared. The mountain covered in seven-colored snowflakes also disappeared. Everything in the world, except for the bridge where Wang Lin and Li Muwan were, disappeared and turned into a palm-sized Feng Shui compass!
The Feng Shui compass buzzed and floated above Wang Lin's left hand. It continued to spin and shrink. In the end, what appeared in Wang Lin's palm was still the Heaven Defying Bead!
The Heaven Defying Bead was the most important part of the Boundary Geocompass, and it looked exactly the same as the complete Boundary Geocompass.
Holding the bead in his hand, Wang Lin looked back. He could not see the sky or the earth, only nothingness. At the end of that nothingness, he saw a figure.
It was Gu Dao.
Jidao stared dumbfoundedly at all of this. He also saw the only bridge in the void and the two figures on it.
"This is the answer …" Jidao murmured and revealed a complicated expression.
Wang Lin smiled and waved his right hand. A giant vortex appeared behind Gu Dao, and inside the vortex was the Immortal Astral Continent. Gu Dao silently pondered for a moment before bowing at Wang Lin. He then walked into the vortex and disappeared.
After he left, Wang Lin pulled Li Muwan, who had also seen the figure but hadn't heard anything. They walked to the end of the bridge and disappeared.
After Wang Lin left, the bridge gradually turned into specks of light. It disappeared into the void and fused with the void.
This was a place like a peach garden. There was a pavilion in the distance with a stone table and two stone chairs. On one of the stone chairs sat a person with his back to Wang Lin. This person was wearing a grey robe and had a head full of grey hair. Wang Lin couldn't see his face.
There was a person standing behind this person who looked like a servant.
Wang Lin pulled Li Muwan out of the void and arrived at this peach garden.
The moment he walked out with Li Muwan, the servant turned around and looked at Wang Lin with a smile.
Wang Lin looked at the servant. This person looked a bit old, but Wang Lin recognized him at a glance.
Wang Lin slowly said, "Marquis Ling Tianhou."
"Yes, but also no."
The old servant shook his head and didn't speak. The person who spoke was the grey-robed man with his back to Wang Lin. He turned around and looked at Wang Lin with a smile.
"This must be Madam Wang. You seem to be a good match for Wang Daoyou."
The grey-robed man looked at Wang Lin and said with a smile.
Li Muwan's expression was calm. She didn't say anything. She stood beside Wang Lin and looked at the grey-robed man calmly.
Wang Lin looked at the grey-robed man and suddenly laughed. He pulled Li Muwan forward and stood across from the old man. He waved his sleeve and the remaining stone chair overlapped. It turned into two, and he sat down with Li Muwan.
On the stone table between him and the grey-robed man was a chessboard. Black and white pieces were scattered on it. It was obvious that it was an endgame.
"Back then, your clone left halfway through the game with me. I've waited for so many years, and you're finally here. Let's continue." The grey-clothed man smiled. He picked up a black piece and placed it on a certain spot on the chessboard.
"You're the Protector?" Wang Lin looked at the chessboard and then at the grey-robed man.
"I am, and so are you." The grey-robed man raised his head and smiled.
"Tian Yunzi is an artifact spirit. I naturally left a thought on him. That is the grey-robed Tian Yunzi you saw."
The grey-robed man looked exactly the same as Tian Yunzi, but the feeling he gave Wang Lin was different. It was just like the grey-robed Tian Yunzi had said.
"It's like how the Seven-Colored Realm was created by your avatar. Later, the artifact spirit found it and used it. I was curious, but now I know that reincarnation is so simple to you.
"Aren't the replicas of the Heaven Defying Beads in the Seven-Colored Realm the source of your slaughter avatar's guesses and attempts to find the missing thing? Whether it is the Enlightened Dao Scripture or the Calamity Scripture, aren't they all your experiences?
"The word 'truth' represents the true self within the cycle of reincarnation. The meaning of this sentence is that from now on, all living beings in the world can search for their true self within the cycle of reincarnation, and walk out of it." The grey-robed man's eyes were filled with admiration as he slowly spoke.
"I don't have a name. If I'm the first Heaven Trampling Realm cultivator in the Defying Earth Realm, then you're the second. Between you and me, no one can trample the heavens.
Aside from your avatar … "the grey-robed man said with a smile.
"The Boundary Compass was created by you?
That artifact spirit was sealed by you? "
Wang Lin pondered a bit. He didn't let go of Li Muwan's hand as he looked at the grey-robed man.
"The fourth step is Heaven Trampling. It is the peak of the Defying Earth Realm. However, in the four great realms, there are people who have reached the fifth step … or even the sixth step … Before I came here, this chessboard was already here.
"Let's play, it's your turn …" the grey-robed man said softly.
Wang Lin pondered a bit and faintly smiled. He raised his left hand. There was already a white bead in his palm. He held the white bead and placed it on the chessboard.
The moment the white piece landed, the entire chessboard suddenly changed. The white and black pieces moved on their own, as if they were calculating something. Finally, when Li Muwan focused her attention on the chessboard, she saw that all the black and white pieces on the chessboard had fused together, forming only two pieces.
One was black, one was white.
The white piece was on Wang Lin's side, and the black piece was on the grey-robed man's side.
"Do you understand?" Wang Lin tilted his head and looked at the grey-robed man.
"Yes, I understand." The grey-robed man pondered for a bit before letting out a sigh and nodding.
Wang Lin smiled and stood up. He pulled Li Muwan and didn't look back at the two of them or the chessboard. Instead, he stepped forward and disappeared with Li Muwan.
When he disappeared, the white pieces on the chessboard slowly turned illusory until they disappeared with Wang Lin.
Wang Lin left with Li Muwan.
On the Immortal Astral Continent, aside from Gu Dao, no one else knew about the Immemorial God Realm.
In the Ancient clan, on a calm mountain peak, Wang Lin sat there with Li Muwan behind him, looking at him gently. Wang Lin had been sitting here for several days.
He seemed to be waiting for something. Li Muwan didn't know, and she didn't want to know. As long as Wang Lin was beside her, she was satisfied. However, there was still a question in her heart. She wanted to ask Wang Lin when he woke up.
Another three days passed. At dusk, when the sky was dark, Wang Lin opened his eyes and looked at the sky.
In the sky, outside the Immortal Astral Continent, a man in black with long, black hair appeared. His body was filled with killing intent and destruction. He stood outside the Immortal Astral Continent with an indifferent gaze. He saw the gaze of the Ji clan on the Immortal Astral Continent looking at him.
He looked exactly the same as Wang Lin!
After pondering a bit, the man in black charged into the Immortal Astral Continent. He turned into a ray of black light and charged toward the Ancient clan. He arrived at the mountain where Wang Lin was and stood before Wang Lin.
When he saw Li Muwan, his indifferent gaze became gentle.
"You didn't have to come." Wang Lin looked at the slaughter avatar before him.
The man in black silently pondered and raised his right hand to cut off a strand of his black hair. He released his hand and the black hair floated up and gradually turned white.
The moment the strand of white hair appeared, Wang Lin raised his right hand and a strand of white hair appeared in his hand. However, after the strand of white hair appeared, it gradually dissipated.
The man in black looked at Li Muwan once more before closing his eyes. He turned into black gas and erased his intelligence before fusing with Wang Lin's body.
Wang Lin absorbed all the black gas and formed his slaughter avatar once more. He looked back at Li Muwan and suddenly understood why slaughter had chosen to dissipate and fuse with him after gaining intelligence.
"To me, it was 500 years … but to him, it was countless reincarnations …" Why are you looking at me? "Li Muwan smiled.
"Did you see him?" Wang Lin suddenly asked.
"Who?" Li Muwan was stunned. She didn't see anything just now. "
It's nothing. Let's go. Didn't you want to see Wang Ping and his wife? Let's go to a place where no one knows us and start an ordinary life … "Wang Lin stood up and smiled.
"You're not cultivating anymore?" Li Muwan blinked and stood up to stand beside Wang Lin.
"Cultivation is in the heart. Once you find your true self, anywhere is the same."
Wang Lin laughed and hugged Li Muwan. The two of them turned into a rainbow and flew towards the darkening sky after dusk.
"Wang Lin, after the chess game ended, what did you say you understood … I don't really understand … What did you understand?" Li Muwan's voice echoed gently.
The two of them gradually went far away and disappeared at the end of the sky.
They didn't see that at this moment, in a corner of Blackrock City not far from the foot of the mountain, there was a woman in white clothes. Her back was facing the lights of tens of thousands of houses. She raised her head and looked at the rainbow in the sky. Tears flowed down from the corner of her eyes. The tears flowed down her cheeks and dripped onto her clothes.
"Forget, forget everything … The fish in the previous life watched the birds fly away from the water …" The woman murmured and her eyes became hazy. The fish in the water was crying, but the tears had melted into the water and the birds couldn't see them.
"In the previous life, we were the birds and the fish, but in this life, we are not …" A gentle voice suddenly appeared behind the woman.
The woman's delicate body trembled. She suddenly turned around and saw the figure smiling at her in the waning lights … When she finally typed these three words, her heart trembled. In a few days, I will write an epilogue.
I can tell everyone in advance that the release date of the new book will be February 20th, right on time!
The new book is also a Xianxia novel. I have prepared it for nearly a year. It is a different story from the Renegade Immortal. Every time I think about it, I get excited.
At that time, we will make a name for ourselves!
The day after tomorrow, on the 10th at 8 pm, we will have a gathering with everyone in YY. If you have time, you must go.
