Wang Lin's eyes lit up. His divine sense spread out and his body moved very fast. As he flew, he scanned his surroundings.
Suddenly, his body came to a stop and he looked to the north. Two thousand kilometers north of where he was, he could sense two cultivators speeding east.
These two cultivators were both male. One of them was very young and was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. The other was middle aged and was at the Core Formation stage.
After Wang Lin looked at them, he suddenly moved like lightning toward the two of them.
As a disciple of the Hao Ran Sect, Mai Guorong obeyed his master's orders and went to the Cloud Sky Sect to attend the biennial Spirit Opening Conference. The Spirit Opening Conference was actually a special pill auction of the Cloud Sky Sect.
The Cloud Sky Sect was famous for their alchemy. Even some rank 4 cultivation countries would come to buy pills from them. However, that was usually during the Opening Spirit Gathering that happened once every 10 years. As for the small Opening Spirit Gathering that happened once every two years, it was usually only for the lower level disciples of the sects in Chu. It was considered a small training experience.
A small scale Spirit Opening Gathering like this wouldn't have any overly precious pills. Most of the time, they would only be some standard pills. However, to the lower level disciples, these pills were things that they couldn't ask for too much.
It has to be said that any pill made by the Cloud Sky Sect would have a higher effect than other pills. As a result, any pill made by the Cloud Sky Sect had a certain value and was very popular.
As for the Cloud Sky Sect, aside from these kinds of Spirit Opening Gatherings, they refused to do anything else. So even though this was only a small Spirit Opening Gathering that was only held once every two years, all of the sects in Chu sent a large amount of their disciples to participate.
Mai Guorong was very proud that he was able to stand out from the crowd of disciples and participate in this Spirit Opening Meeting. However, he knew that the reason he was able to participate was because he had a good teacher.
Thinking about this, Mai Guorong's gaze fell on the middle aged man before him. This person looked very ordinary. His face was sallow and he looked like he could die at any moment.
But Mai Guorong didn't dare to underestimate him. He was filled with respect. Ignoring the fact that this person was his teacher, just the fact that this person was at the early stage of Core Formation made Mai Guorong feel that his luck was very good.
It has to be said that being taken in as a disciple by a Core Formation cultivator was rare even in the Hao Ran Sect. This meant that Mai Guorong had become an inner disciple. Although it was still a bit different from being a core disciple, if Mai Guorong could reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he would naturally become a core disciple.
In addition to this, what made him respect his teacher even more was that his teacher was one of the few alchemy grandmasters in the Hao Ran Sect. Although the pills his teacher made couldn't compare to the Cloud Sky Sect's, the difference wasn't big.
Because of that, Mai Guorong's status in the Righteous Noble Sect immediately rose. As the saying goes, when the tide rises, the boat rises. Even Mai Guorong felt like he was a cut above the rest of the Inner Sect disciples.
"Calm your mind and control your sword. Don't be distracted. This place is very close to the Cloud Sky Sect. Don't ruin the reputation of the Hao Ran Sect!"
A hoarse voice interrupted Mai Guorong's thoughts. He quickly nodded and stopped thinking about random things. He followed closely behind the teacher.
After a while, Mai Guorong looked at his teacher. As he flew, he curiously asked, "Teacher, the Cloud Sky Sect …"
"Quiet!"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the middle aged man's expression suddenly change. He suddenly stopped and turned around. He stared behind him, frowned, and shouted.
Mai Guorong was startled. He quickly stopped and looked back. There was nothing strange about the blue sky and white clouds. His heart was filled with doubt, but just at this moment, a rumbling sound came from the distance. The clouds in the distance were pushed by a powerful force and slowly moved forward. At first glance, it looked like the clouds had turned into waves and were moving forward.
Mai Guorong's expression suddenly changed. His eyes revealed a look of terror.
At the same time, a black figure charged toward them at an extremely fast speed. In just a few breaths' time, the figure was already close to them.
Mai Guorong could clearly see that this person was wearing a black robe. His face was cold and his white hair flowed behind him. He gave off a very demonic feeling.
In Mai Guorong's eyes, this person's cultivation was as unfathomable as the ocean. This was especially true for this person's eyes, which were filled with endless coldness. There was even a hint of fear in them that would make one's heart jump.
Mai Guorong quickly lowered his head. His face was pale and his body felt cold.
"What a heavy killing intent!"
Mai Guorong's master, the Righteous Noble Sect's Grandmaster Alchemist Xu Li's pupils constricted involuntarily. With his Divine Sense, he could immediately sense that this person's cultivation base far surpassed his own. Furthermore, the Divine Sense that this person was emitting was even more shocking.
From his point of view, even though this person hadn't reached the Nascent Soul stage, the feeling he got was exactly the same as when he met other Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect.
As a result, he didn't dare to underestimate this person. In his view, even the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Hao Ran Sect didn't have the same killing intent as this person.
Xu Li had spent his entire life studying the Art of Alchemy, so he was extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy. He could almost imagine that the hands of a person who possessed such a baleful aura would definitely be incomparably bloodthirsty. Facing such a person, if he was not careful, he would definitely cause a great disaster.
Thinking about this, he quickly clasped his hands and said, "Fellow cultivator, I am Xu Li of the Hao Ran Sect. This is my disciple.
Why have you come in such a hurry?
If I can help, I definitely won't shirk my responsibility. "
This white haired young man was Wang Lin. He looked at the two of them and his gaze fell on Xu Li. He clasped his hands and said, "Fellow cultivator, may I know which cultivation country this is?"
Xu Li was startled. He looked at Wang Lin and said, "This is the country of Chu.
"This place is the Chu Country, I wonder where you are from?"
"Country of Chu …" Wang Lin pondered for a bit. He didn't answer the other person's question and instead slapped his bag of holding.
His action caused Xu Li's expression to change greatly. He pulled his disciple, Mai Guorong, back up a few steps and revealed a cautious expression.
Wang Lin looked at him and waved his hand. A piece of jade appeared in his hand. He placed the jade on his forehead and a map appeared in his mind.
This jade was the map he got from Zhou Zihong of the War God Shrine. It contained information about the country of Hou Fen.
The moment he heard the two words "Chu Country", he immediately thought of where he had seen the description of this place. Now that he checked the jade slip, he immediately knew his approximate location.
The country of Chu was north of Hou Fen, east of Xuan Wu, and even bordered by the Sea of Devils. In addition, there was the Shattered Stone Mountain Range.
It could be said that the country of Chu was next to the Shattered Stone Mountain Range. According to the jade, the country of Chu was very large and had a lot of cultivators. As a rank 3 cultivation country, the country of Chu was at the peak of rank 3 and could break through at any time to become a rank 4 cultivation country.
All of this was because there were more than 10 late stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the country of Chu. This was a huge force for the country of Chu to become a rank 4 cultivation country.
As long as one of them could break through to the Soul Formation stage, then the entire Chu Country would immediately become a rank 4 cultivation country.
This was why the cultivators of Hou Fen chose to invade the country of Xuan Wu instead of the country of Chu!
After all, compared to Chu, Xuan Wu was the best choice for the cultivators of Hou Fen.
In the jade, there was a record of some of the sects in Chu.
Wang Lin looked at it for a while before putting it away. He looked at Xu Li and asked, "Fellow cultivator, where is this place in Chu?"
Xu Li's left hand was on his bag of holding and he was secretly on guard. When he heard Wang Lin's question, he pondered a bit and slowly said, "This is the Cloud Sky Mountain Range."
Wang Lin nodded. He looked around before staring straight ahead and calmly said, "So, if we go 10,000 kilometers from here, at the top of the Cloud Sky Mountain Range, is the Cloud Sky Sect?"
Xu Li's eyes lit up and he cautiously asked, "Do you have a relationship with the Cloud Sky Sect?"
Wang Lin let out a smile that wasn't a smile. He looked at Xu Li and clasped his hands. "Thank you. Goodbye!"
With that, Wang Lin's body suddenly moved. He turned into a ray of light and disappeared without a trace.
It wasn't until Wang Lin left that Xu Li let out a sigh of relief. His back was soaked in sweat. When the wind blew by, it felt cold.
The pressure that Wang Lin gave him was too great. If it wasn't for the fact that Xu Li spent a lot of time practicing alchemy, his cultivation level was extremely stable, and his mind was several times calmer than a normal cultivator's. Otherwise, when he was facing off against Wang Lin, he would have been at a loss.
He took a deep breath and turned around to look at his disciple. Mai Guorong's eyes were still filled with fear as he looked at where Wang Lin disappeared to. His voice trembled as he said, "Mas … Master, what exactly is that person's cultivation level?
Is he a Nascent Soul cultivator? "
Xu Li shook his head and said, "That person is filled with killing intent. If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid he is someone who escaped from the Sea of Devils. These kinds of people are common in Chu, but this is the first time I've seen someone with this kind of killing intent."
"Killing intent?" Mai Guorong was startled.
Xu Li slowly said, "Every time you kill someone, you can accumulate a bit of killing intent. When the killing intent reaches a certain level, it can turn into killing intent. For some cultivators, this killing intent is a good material for refining treasures.
After accumulating evil energy for a long time, it can transform into evil energy. This person's evil energy is monstrous. He didn't use any techniques, but just the evil energy emitted from his body is enough to cause fear in people's hearts. I wonder if this person knows how to use the evil energy in his body. If he does, then even Nascent Soul cultivators will be affected and hallucinated. "Xu Li's tone was low as he slowly spoke.
Mai Guorong took a deep breath and hesitated.
He asked, "Master, according to you, this person hasn't reached the Nascent Soul stage?"
Xu Li pondered a little, then nodded his head and said, "Even if he hasn't reached the Nascent Soul stage, he is not far from breaking through. If I wasn't wrong, then I'm afraid this person has already reached the peak of the late stage of Core Formation.
Okay, don't mention this to anyone else in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. Even when you return to the Hao Ran Sect, don't casually talk about it. Do you understand? "
Mai Guorong quickly nodded. Even if Xu Li didn't tell him to, he wouldn't talk about it. After all, the feeling this person gave him was too terrifying. He didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
As for Wang Lin, after confirming his location, he flew very fast. After flying for a long time, his divine sense detected the fluctuations of spiritual energy in front of him. According to the map, the Cloud Sky Sect was in front of him.
Wang Lin secretly nodded his head. He knew that the master and disciple from before weren't lying. After confirming his location, Wang Lin pondered a little. Since the Cloud Sky Sect was here, Wang Lin decided to stop flying and instead go into closed door cultivation near the Cloud Sky Sect.
After looking at the Cloud Sky Sect in the distance, he turned around and flew away without a word.
On a cliff about seven to eight thousand kilometers away from the Cloud Sky Sect, Wang Lin landed. He looked around and revealed a satisfied expression. Then he waved his hand and a flying sword flew out from his bag of holding. The flying sword flew into the middle of the cliff and cut into a stone wall.
Soon, a cave appeared on the cliff. According to Wang Lin's habits, the cave had two stone rooms.
Wang Lin entered the cave and looked around. After thinking for a bit, he opened up another stone room.
After doing all of this, his body floated out. His right hand slapped his bag of holding and the restriction flag flew out. Wang Lin's hand formed a seal and pointed at the restriction flag. Suddenly, the restriction flag began to move without any wind and quickly grew. In the blink of an eye, it had grown more than 10 times its original size.
Then, Wang Lin's hand formed seals and shot out rays of spiritual energy. The restriction flag began to expand until it became a black curtain that could cover the sky.
At this moment, Wang Lin's eyes were calm as he shouted, "Scatter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black screen began to tremble. One by one, the restrictions fell from the black screen and sank into the cliff. In the end, over a thousand restrictions appeared from the black screen. In the blink of an eye, the entire cliff was densely packed with restrictions.
Wang Lin took a deep breath. He waved his right hand and the restriction flag shrunk. Wang Lin threw it and it pierced deep into the cliff.
At this moment, from the outside, the cave in the middle of the cliff had already disappeared. There was nothing special about it. The entire cliff looked very normal and there was nothing special about it.
Wang Lin pondered for a bit and waved his hand again. He sent out several restrictions that landed around the cliff. Finally, the restrictions formed a tight barrier around the cliff. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
He took a step forward, and as soon as he touched the cliff, he vanished. When he reappeared, he was already in his Immortal's cave. Inside, he rubbed his bag of holding, and something appeared in his hand.
This was the green dragon jade that Li Muwan had given him. Although there were some cracks on it, it didn't affect its use. After Wang Lin looked at the jade for a while, he sent out a seal. Suddenly, a dragon roar came from the jade and a green dragon came out. After circling Wang Lin a few times, it grew larger and larger until it turned into a giant green dragon. The green dragon circled around Wang Lin and the walls seemed to become transparent, so they weren't able to stop it at all.
The azure dragon let out another roar and entered the top of the cave, becoming one with the cliff to form a protective barrier.
This cave could be said to be the most secure place that Wang Lin had set up so far.
Wang Lin had spent a lot of effort on the defenses of this cave. The reason was that if nothing unexpected happened, he would be living here for a very long time.
Wang Lin stood in the cave and thought for a long time. His eyes filled with determination. Then he pointed at his forehead and his sea of consciousness fluctuated. Immediately, the devil Xu Liguo and the second devil appeared.
After the two devils appeared, their reactions were different. The moment the second devil appeared, it looked at Wang Lin with a look of fanaticism and respect. Right now, as long as Wang Lin gave the order, even if it was to devour a Soul Formation cultivator, it would rush forward without hesitation, even if it meant death.
After the devil Xu Liguo appeared, it immediately looked around. At the same time, it put on a respectful expression and bowed to Wang Lin with a flattering smile.
Wang Lin pointed at a stone room and said, "From today onwards, you two devils will cultivate in this stone room. Without my permission, you are not allowed to take one step out of this stone room. Otherwise, you will be destroyed."
Xu Liguo was startled. Just as he was about to speak, the second devil didn't hesitate and quickly floated into the stone room that Wang Lin pointed at.
Xu Liguo hesitated for a moment and quickly swallowed his words. He thought that since the second devil was so straightforward, if he didn't say anything, he would lose to the second devil. Thus, he quickly followed behind the second devil and entered the stone room.
After the two devils entered, Wang Lin's Ji Realm Divine Sense suddenly moved and swept the stone room. After searching for some Divine Sense, he withdrew it.
If the two devils didn't listen and tried to fly out, they would definitely be attacked by the Ji Realm Divine Sense.
Wang Lin had no choice but to be cautious. After all, these two devils were refined by him. Normally, he wouldn't be worried about any accidents, but what he was about to do next was not to allow any accidents. Thus, he trapped the two devils.
After doing all this, Wang Lin was silent for a moment. Then, he quietly walked into the stone room in the center and sat down cross-legged. He took a deep breath and pointed at his forehead. Immediately, a seven-colored ball slowly floated out of his forehead. This ball gradually solidified and finally revealed the appearance of the heaven defying bead.
After silently looking at the heaven defying bead for a while, Wang Lin waved his right hand and the heaven defying bead immediately floated to the side. Then, Wang Lin took out a few jade bottles from his storage bag and placed them on his left and right side.
Then, he quietly closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Time quickly passed. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. During this year, aside from collecting the spiritual liquid every day, Wang Lin's body didn't move at all.
This time, while he was meditating, Wang Lin continuously compressed the excess spiritual force in his body. Finally, it turned into three vortexes. Within the vortexes, there was a thin red thread of Heaven's Retribution.
This time, the thread of Heaven's Retribution was completely suppressed by him. However, Wang Lin didn't dare to relax at all. Although this thread was small, it came from the power of Heaven's Retribution. If he didn't handle it well, the result would be that his body would be destroyed by this thread.
Although his body had been reconstructed once, Wang Lin didn't want to test it with his own body.
Aside from this, Wang Lin spent the rest of his time slowly pondering a technique. This was an unorthodox method to solve the problem of his stagnant cultivation.
Even now, Wang Lin still clearly remembered the Divine Path technique he saw in the back mountain of the War God Temple. It was carved by the ancestor of the War God Temple, Chen Chong, from his memory!
Back then, he had spent a great deal of effort to finally understand this technique, and he had even figured out the divine power of this technique. This technique was a technique that contained great divine power, and the clone obtained by cultivating this technique was completely a real body.
Relying on the avatar to cultivate at the same time could increase the speed of cultivation. At the moment of forming the Nascent Soul, the avatar and the avatar would become one, increasing the power of forming the Nascent Soul.
However, this technique was incomplete, and the avatar that was cultivated had a fatal flaw. The avatar would form a body, but after it appeared, it wouldn't have any cultivation and its lifespan would be less than 30 years.
The reason why Wang Lin didn't choose this method back then was because he didn't have a lot of spirit herbs. He didn't even have enough for himself, so how could he give it to his avatar?
But now, from this technique, Wang Lin saw a way for him to break through to the Nascent Soul stage without losing his cultivation.
He could cultivate an avatar and reach the Nascent Soul stage in 30 years. Then, he could fuse with the avatar. This way, he would be able to bypass his bottleneck of reaching the late stage of Core Formation!
This way, he wouldn't have to lose his cultivation and he would have the opportunity to break through. However, there was one difficult point, and that was how to make his avatar reach the Nascent Soul stage in 30 years.
With the help of the heaven defying bead's space, 30 years of time could be extended by a lot. According to the usual analysis, if he was in the heaven defying bead's space, Wang Lin could get close to 300 years of time, which was 180 years of time.
But there was still a very important problem, and that was the pill!
This problem would be solved in the Cloud Sky Sect!
This was also the reason why Wang Lin decided to go into closed door cultivation here when he found out that he was in the Chu Garden and that he was not far from the Cloud Sky Sect.
Wang Lin's eyes were calm. On the ground in front of him, there were three white jade bottles. They were filled with the spirit liquid that dripped from the heaven defying bead in the past year. This was also the first gift he prepared for his avatar!
After pondering for a while, Wang Lin's eyes flashed with decisiveness. He took a deep breath, formed a seal with both hands, and slowly closed his eyes. He began to cultivate the avatar according to the requirements of the technique.
If one could see through this Divine Path technique, then it would not be very difficult to cultivate it. It had nothing to do with one's aptitude. Otherwise, Chen Chong of the War God Temple, who could be said to be the person with the worst aptitude in the War God Temple, was the only person after his master to see through this Divine Path technique and record it down.
(My complaints yesterday caused some of my friends to be unhappy. I apologize for that.)
