After putting away the cauldron, Wang Lin looked into the distance and saw a giant vortex. One by one, cultivators disappeared into the vortex.
Wang Lin's body moved toward the vortex. Soon, his body disappeared inside.
He felt like he was falling from the sky. His vision was filled with blinding light, but he clenched his teeth and kept his eyes open. What he saw was something he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Under his feet were pieces of crystal shards. These shards were arranged in a circle, as if a mirror had been smashed to the ground.
This mirror was like the Celestial Realm from before. Now that the Celestial Realm had shattered into countless shards, all of the celestial spiritual energy had disappeared. Only some of the shards remained.
Wang Lin's body was rapidly falling, and the shards were getting larger. Finally, Wang Lin could clearly feel himself landing on one of the shards.
The moment he landed, Wang Lin immediately slapped his bag of holding and took out a copper bell. This was one of the three treasures he had obtained when he refined the Land of the God of Luck. It could change its size and trap enemies.
After landing, Wang Lin looked around in a daze. His heart was filled with shock.
There was no sign of life here. The ground was covered in withered grass. There was a mountain in the distance, but only half of the mountain remained. The cut surface was extremely smooth; it was clear that someone had used magic to cut it open.
At the bottom of the mountain were some palaces, but they had all collapsed into ruins.
The other half of the mountain had smashed into the palaces. From a distance, it looked like a mother and child mountain.
There were bottomless pits everywhere on the ground. There were even some places that emitted white gas into the air.
This was a dead world!
"This … is the Celestial Realm?" Wang Lin muttered to himself after pondering for a bit.
Even though he knew that the Celestial Realm was destroyed, Wang Lin still couldn't believe it. In ancient times, after reaching the Soul Formation stage, one could feel the call of the Celestial Realm and enter it to cultivate. To all cultivators, the Celestial Realm was a holy land!
It was sacred and inviolable!
But now, as Wang Lin looked around, he couldn't help but fall silent.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and looked at the palaces in the distance. Then, he flew forward.
Although it didn't seem far, Wang Lin discovered that there was an invisible resistance in the sky that made it difficult for him to reach a certain speed.
After a long time, Wang Lin arrived at the location of the palace complex. Seeing the ruins up close, Wang Lin was extremely shocked.
From these ruins, Wang Lin could imagine how rich the Immortal World was in the past. The materials used to build these palaces were all spirit stones!
Although Wang Lin had seen pavilions made purely of spirit stones before, the place where Li Muwan lived in the Chu Country was built with spirit stones, compared to the ruins in front of him, the difference was like heaven and earth.
From afar, Wang Lin couldn't see the end of the palace complex. Although there were ruins everywhere, it was easy to imagine how shocking this place was in the past.
However, after so many years, these spirit stones had lost their effectiveness. In many places, they would immediately turn into dust with just a touch.
Wang Lin let out a sigh. So this is the Celestial Realm … Walking in the ruins, Wang Lin couldn't help but fall silent. This place didn't have the Celestial Realm Qi that he wanted. There was only a sense of sorrow.
Wang Lin stopped at the center of this group of palaces. He was horrified as he looked ahead. There was a large area there that was sunken in. If he looked closely, he would find that it was a palm print!
Wang Lin was shocked. The moment he saw the palm print, his mind immediately thought of the palm print on the Rain Immortal Gate.
The power of one palm print was enough to cause the surrounding area to collapse. If he was in Suzaku, Wang Lin believed that he could do the same, but this was the Celestial Realm!
Everything in the Celestial Realm was countless times harder than the Cultivation World. Also, the people who lived here were all powerful cultivators at the Soul Formation Realm and above. As a result, this palm print was a bit terrifying.
Wang Lin squatted down at the edge of the palm print and pressed his right hand on it. Immediately, a wave of Death Qi spread out from the palm print and flowed into Wang Lin's arm.
Wang Lin immediately activated his Life and Death Qi. After a long time, he took a deep breath and the shock in his eyes became even stronger.
Just now, he discovered that there was still some Qi left in the palm print, so he tried to sense it himself. However, the more he tried, the more he realized how powerful the opponent was.
Standing up, Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He raised his right hand and pressed down on the palm print. After a long time, he shook his head, walked around this place, and continued to walk through the ruins.
After walking through the ruins for a few days, Wang Lin saw a cracked stone tablet with a few words carved on it.
"The Fifth Rain Celestial King bestowed upon Celestial Master Tianhua …" The words were very long. The general idea was that Celestial Master Tianhua had done a great job, so the Fifth Rain Celestial King used a spell to create this palace for him as a reward. This palace was created according to a formation. Cultivating inside it would allow one to absorb all the Celestial spiritual energy within 100,000 miles, allowing one to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
After reading it, Wang Lin's heart trembled again. Although he didn't know what kind of status a Celestial Master had in the Celestial Realm, it was obviously not as high as a Celestial King. If a mere Celestial Master could have such a large group of palaces, then what was the residence of a Celestial King like … Just as he was about to leave, his eyes suddenly lit up. He turned around and stared at the stone tablet.
After taking a closer look, the stone tablet looked very ordinary. There was nothing special about it.
However, Wang Lin's eyes scanned the words one by one. Why would Celestial Master Tianhua build a palace here? Furthermore, this stone tablet should be something like a monument, something that outsiders could see. Why would it be placed here?
This place was part of the ruins, so the stone tablet seemed a bit out of place.
Wang Lin frowned. He raised his right hand and pointed at the stone tablet. Suddenly, a ray of qi shot out and landed on the stone tablet. Immediately, the crack on the stone tablet became even larger.
Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and a flying sword appeared. Under the control of his divine sense, the sword quickly cut the stone tablet. Sounds of metal colliding came from the stone tablet. Although it had been so many years, and it was still damaged by the palm, the stone tablet was still very hard.
After a long time, the stone tablet was finally cut flat by the flying sword. Wang Lin lowered his head and looked at the end of the stone tablet. He frowned. There didn't seem to be anything special about it, but Wang Lin felt that something was wrong.
His eyes lit up. His hand grabbed the stone tablet and pulled hard. Suddenly, a series of rumbling sounds could be heard. Under the force of Wang Lin's strength, the stone tablet was slowly pulled up.
11,000 words. Finally, the Celestial Renegade had one million words!
For the first million, I'll buy some beer and celebrate with my wife tonight. Brothers, thank you for your continued support, thank you!
Cheers!
