Outside the Jue Ming Valley in the country of Zhao, the sun was shining and the wind was gentle. The clouds in the sky gradually appeared, as if the Soul Formation stage had never happened.
In a few decades, the Jue Ming Valley would open again to find the treasures from the foreign battleground.
Wang Lin's figure appeared outside the valley. He stood on a cliff and looked at the valley. After a while, he let out a sigh and his right hand reached out. A 30-foot-long spatial crack suddenly appeared in the sky.
If one looked closely, they would see that the location of the crack was the same as where Wang Lin exploded.
After reaching the Soul Formation stage, the first thing Wang Lin did was to reform the bag of holding that had been destroyed by the spatial crack.
The other things in the bag of holding were fine, but the sword sheath was extremely important to Wang Lin. He already had two sword sheaths, and Wang Lin had a feeling that there was a big secret inside the sword sheath.
His body moved and he appeared outside the crack. A strong cold wind blew out from the crack, but this wind didn't cause any discomfort to Wang Lin.
His right hand reached into the spatial crack and his origin soul began to sense it. With a thought, specks of light came out of the spatial crack and fused together. Soon, a bag of holding appeared before Wang Lin.
Wang Lin scanned the bag with his divine sense and his eyes narrowed. The things inside the bag of holding weren't complete. There was only half of what was inside, and the sword sheath wasn't inside.
He pondered a bit and guessed that it was because too much time had passed. Even though he had reformed the bag of holding, some of the things inside had dissipated inside the spatial crack.
However, he had refined the sword sheath with a cold core in the past. Now that he had formed his origin soul, he could sense the sword sheath with just a thought. After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin stepped into the spatial crack.
After he entered, the spatial crack suddenly shrank and disappeared. The area outside the Jue Ming Valley returned to normal.
The inside of the spatial crack wasn't empty. It was filled with a violent aura and the cold wind of life. In addition, there were countless glowing crystals.
There were even some pitch-black boulders floating around.
The moment Wang Lin entered, he felt like he was in the space in Tu Si's memories, but there were no stars here.
Wang Lin waved his right hand and left a mark on the ground. Then he stepped forward. His speed was very fast. He was like a meteor as he moved through the spatial rift toward the direction his origin soul had sensed.
As he moved, crescent-shaped cracks would occasionally flash by. There was a suction force coming from each crack, but this suction force didn't seem to have any effect on the things inside the cracks.
Gradually, Wang Lin moved faster and faster. After an unknown amount of time, there was a sword sheath inserted into a black rock in front of Wang Lin.
This sword sheath belonged to Wang Lin in the past.
However, there were four black shadows surrounding the scabbard. These black shadows were humanoid in shape. They seemed to be sitting cross-legged as they breathed into the scabbard. Sparkling threads were being emitted from the scabbard and were being absorbed by the four black shadows.
After seeing this scene from afar, Wang Lin suddenly stopped. His eyes were calm as he waved his right hand.
Suddenly, the sword sheath trembled. The part that had sunk into the black rock loosened and slowly rose up. However, at this moment, the four black shadows suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Lin. There was a flash of blue light in their eyes as they stared at him.
Wang Lin's eyes were calm and he didn't say a word.
As the scabbard rose higher and higher, it even let out a humming sound. At this moment, cracks immediately appeared on the mouths of the four black shadows. Then, even more fine threads gushed out from the scabbard and were absorbed by them.
At the same time, one of the black shadows suddenly stood up. The moment it stood up, its body suddenly expanded and turned into a black cloud that surrounded Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's eyes flickered and he coldly laughed, "You're just a ghost. You're overestimating yourself!" As he spoke, his left hand pointed at the air and a ray of energy shot out from his finger.
Although this finger of energy wasn't strong, it contained Wang Lin's domain. The moment the finger of energy appeared, it gave off the aura of death. In almost an instant, the finger of energy landed on the black shadow. The black shadow's life force immediately lost its vitality due to the change in the domain.
The black shadow let out a miserable cry and its body immediately emitted waves of black gas. If one looked closely, they would see that there was a strange light surrounding its body. Under the effect of this light, its body became smaller and smaller. In just a few breaths of time, it completely disappeared.
However, the moment it disappeared, Wang Lin's right hand pointed again and another ray of energy shot out. It sank into the place where the black shadow disappeared and the scattered black gas condensed to form a giant demon god!
This demon god god was created by Wang Lin based on the memories of an enemy called Specter from Ancient God Tu Si's memories. It was a transformation from the domain of life and death to the realm of life and death. The moment it appeared, it let out a roar and charged at the other three black shadows.
Wang Lin's body didn't move. His origin soul was immersed in the domain of life and death, controlling the strange power that was extracted from the domain of life and death.
This was the first time Wang Lin had used a real Soul Formation spell to control the power of the heavens and earth. For Soul Formation cultivators, unless it was a very powerful spell, there were very few spells that were set in place.
All of the attacks were created with their own comprehension of the domain of the heavens as the foundation.
The three black shadows beside the scabbard let out a scream. One of them jumped onto the scabbard and its entire body merged into it. Then, it wrapped around the scabbard and charged out of the black rock, running away into the distance.
As for the other two, they turned around, their eyes flashing with blue light as they pounced toward the Demon God Statue that was flying toward them.
However, in the instant that one of them pounced toward the image of the demonic god, its entire body transformed into countless black threads that burrowed into the image of the demonic god from all directions.
The other black shadow took this opportunity to charge at Wang Lin. The blue light in its eyes gave off a demonic feeling.
Wang Lin's eyes were calm as his right hand pointed to his brow. His origin soul immediately came out from his head and coldly looked at the black shadow. His right hand reached out.
When the black shadow saw the origin soul leave its body, it let out a scream and turned around to escape. However, its speed was too slow compared to the origin soul, so it couldn't escape. It let out a series of screams as it was caught by Wang Lin's origin soul and devoured in one mouthful of incense stick!
As for the escaping sword scabbard, it didn't move in a straight line. Instead, it flashed left and right. It was clearly guarding against Wang Lin's teleportation.
Wang Lin let out a sneer and his origin soul suddenly disappeared. It turned into a part of the spatial crack as if he could see the escaping sword scabbard.
As the sword scabbard flew, Zhao Jiuge placed his hand on the sword scabbard and his origin soul returned to his body.
This was a teleportation spell that allowed a Soul Formation cultivator to merge with the world. Not all Soul Formation cultivators could use this spell, but it was several times stronger than teleportation due to their understanding of the domain.
The moment the black shadow was devoured by the incense, Wang Lin had already extracted its memory. This black shadow was a powerful cultivator that had separated an obsession from its body and sent it into the spatial crack to be attacked by the wind of death. This allowed it to form a body of death and become the soul of a magic treasure.
This Obsession didn't have a high level of intelligence. After drifting in the spatial crack for a long time, it discovered the sword sheath by chance and felt a strange fluctuation from it. With a flash of inspiration, it began to cultivate.
Holding the sword scabbard, Wang Lin's right hand pointed at the demon statue. Suddenly, the demon statue that had just destroyed the black shadow slowly collapsed into spiritual energy and dissipated.
As for the black shadow hiding in the sword scabbard, Wang Lin shook his right hand and the black shadow was shaken out. The moment it appeared, Wang Lin grabbed it with one hand and injected spiritual energy into it. The black shadow collapsed and disappeared.
Zhao Jiuge killed these four obsessions so that the powerful cultivator wouldn't find out about them after they were taken back.
Wang Lin's body moved and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was at the place where he left the mark. He tore open a crack and went inside.
After appearing outside of the Jue Ming Valley, Wang Lin didn't stop and quickly flew away.
One month later, Wang Lin walked out of a transfer array far away from the State of Zhao.
Wang Lin muttered to himself, "The Rain Cauldron appeared, so the day of the heavens opening shouldn't be far away. Right now, I'm at the early stage of Soul Formation. Although I'm still far from the Soul Transformation stage, it's not impossible. Once I reach the Soul Transformation stage, Situ Nan will be able to wake up. He once said that he was the number one cultivator in the State of Rosefinch. If he wakes up, he will definitely know about the Cultivation Planet Crystal and will be very useful in obtaining it."
"I just don't know if I can revive my parents when I reach the Soul Transformation stage … But I understand the reincarnation cycle of life and death. The more I understand the reincarnation cycle, the more I can't reverse the heavens. In the end, I can't escape from this. I'm afraid the idea of reviving my parents will be very difficult to achieve …" Wang Lin sighed.
"Forget it, I'll think about this later. If I really can't revive them, then I'll find a place where mortals live and let my parents enter the reincarnation cycle. Our relationship in this life will be over … Ai … Right now, I still need to refine a restriction flag. There's only one ink stone left. This time, I must use it carefully and not damage it. As for the damaged flag, it's too difficult to repair. It can only be used to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation.
Also, although I'm at the Soul Formation stage, I don't have enough magic treasures. I don't know when the heavens will open, so I need to prepare. I must obtain the celestial spiritual energy! "
