As more and more of the stone tablet was exposed, the color of the stone tablet changed. It was as if it was soaked in water, but there was no water vapor.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. Logically speaking, this place had been abandoned for countless years. Although there were many fragments of the Celestial Realm, every time the Celestial Realm Gate opened, many people would enter.
In this way, even if there was a fragment of the Immortal Dimension that no one had stepped foot into since the beginning, it would absolutely be extremely rare and few.
Most of the Celestial Realm fragments already had the footprints of cultivators.
This stone tablet was a monumental existence. Normally, it should have been placed outside the palaces, but now it was here. Also, there were traces of it being buried in the ground for a long time. This allowed Wang Lin to understand the reason.
This monument must have been moved here by a cultivator after the Celestial Realm Gate opened to hide some secrets from the outside of the palaces.
Otherwise, there shouldn't be such a deep burial mark at the bottom of the stone tablet. If the stone tablet hadn't been moved from beginning to end, then as time passed, the bottom should have gradually dried up and cracked. It definitely wouldn't be like this now.
After confirming his thoughts, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he let out a roar. His right hand mercilessly pulled up the monumental tablet and threw it to the side.
The moment the monumental tablet was pulled out, a strand of pure celestial spiritual energy came out from the hole in the ground. There wasn't much celestial spiritual energy, and after it appeared, it showed signs of dissipating.
Wang Lin's eyes were filled with joy. He quickly covered the celestial spiritual energy with his hands and began to refine it.
Suddenly, the sound of something tearing through the air came from the distance. A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and within that bolt of lightning, a huge octagonal formation appeared.
A green-robed cultivator with a treasure sword on his back walked out from the formation.
The moment he appeared, he immediately charged toward the ruins as if he had a specific goal.
Wang Lin sensed it immediately. Frowning, he ignored the man's lightning-fast speed and focused on refining.
Under Wang Lin's refinement, the strand of Immortal Realm Qi slowly condensed into a grain-sized, liquid-like substance.
Wang Lin knew that the Qi of the Immortal World could only be stored after being refined by one's Nascent Soul. However, the time needed to refine the Qi of the Immortal World depended on one's cultivation.
The green-robed cultivator was extremely fast. When he sensed the abnormality here from afar, his expression changed and he shouted, "Stop!"
With that said, he used some kind of spell, and his speed instantly increased several times as he rushed over.
Wang Lin ignored him. The green-robed cultivator's cultivation was the same as his, early stage Soul Formation. Wang Lin wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he calculated how long it would take for the green-robed cultivator to arrive and focused on refining.
When the green-robed cultivator saw that not only did Wang Lin not stop, but he also increased his speed, he couldn't help but fly over and roar, "This place was discovered by my Da Lou Sword Sect 3,000 years ago. If you insist on doing this, my Da Lou Sword Sect will hunt you down to the end!"
The green-robed cultivator's voice came from the distance. Although Wang Lin didn't hear everything, he still understood some of the meaning. He let out a cold laugh. How could everything in the world have an owner, especially this Immortal World Qi. This person's words were simply ridiculous!
He quickly waved his right hand and the bronze bracelet on his wrist flew out. With a bang, it turned into a giant, blue toad.
The moment the Thunder Frog appeared, its stomach bulged and the sound of thunder could be heard. Shortly after, it spat out a giant ball of Thunder toward the green-robed cultivator.
The green-robed cultivator's expression changed once more. He was extremely afraid of the ball of Thunder. He slapped the sword on his back and the sword flew out of its sheath. It was as if the sun had descended from the heavens. The green-robed cultivator's hand formed a seal and he mercilessly pointed at the ball of Thunder. The sword suddenly swung down and a ray of sword energy as thick as a bucket flew out from the sword. It was like a giant blade that could split the heavens and earth as it descended from the sky.
His speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he landed on the ball of lightning. Amidst a series of thunderous booms, the ball of lightning was actually split into two. It was torn apart from the middle, and scattered to the sides. When it landed on the ground, it formed two deep pits that emitted white smoke.
The green-robed cultivator's face turned slightly red as blood rushed up his throat, but he forced it down. This sword was one of the Da Lou Sword Sect's seven swords. It was a top grade spirit treasure. If he was fighting someone with a lower cultivation level than him, he could use it freely. Even if he was fighting someone with the same cultivation level, he only needed to control the sword energy inside the sword to kill them.
However, the thunder toad was still at the peak of the mid stage of Soul Formation. Although there was no domain within it, the power of thunder was not something a cultivator could control. It was a unique attack given to the thunder toad by the heavens. As a result, this person had no choice but to use all of his power to activate his sword and attack with the momentum of harming his enemy and himself.
After being stopped by the Thunder Frog, Wang Lin finally finished condensing the sliver of celestial spiritual energy. In his hand was a purple crystal the size of a grain of rice.
This crystal was equal to half of the total amount of spiritual energy in the country of Zhao. Feeling the spiritual energy inside, Wang Lin was shocked. He waved his right hand and put the crystal into his bag of holding. Then he raised his head and coldly stared at the green-robed cultivator.
This stone tablet suppressed one of the formation cores of this group of palaces. Although the formation was broken, it still had some effect. Over time, it would automatically absorb some of the celestial spiritual energy in the surroundings and convert it into pure celestial spiritual energy.
The Da Lou Sword Sect clearly knew about this place and used the stone tablet to suppress it. Every once in a while, when the celestial gate opened, they would send people here to collect celestial spiritual energy.
The reason they didn't use any restrictions and only used the things here to suppress it was because they had their own concerns. Any restriction would have fluctuations of magic energy, and no matter how weak the fluctuations were, those who could enter the Celestial Realm would be able to find some clues. As long as they carefully broke the restrictions, this place would be exposed. It would be better to not have any restrictions at all and just use the stone tablet to suppress it. This way, the concealment of this place would increase a lot.
Wang Lin revealed a sneer. His right hand pressed down on the hole and he mercilessly squeezed. There were a few cracking sounds and the formation that was gathering celestial spiritual energy immediately collapsed. From now on, it would no longer be able to operate.
Since he had unavoidably provoked the Da Lou Sword Sect and obtained their celestial spiritual energy, there was no way they would let this go. Wang Lin decided to go all out and destroy the remaining formation eyes to prevent them from coming back to obtain more celestial spiritual energy and cultivate more experts.
The green-robed cultivator stared at Wang Lin and let out a roar. He once again summoned the sword in his hand and pointed it at Wang Lin. The sword shined brightly once more and with a gentle wave, a ray of sword energy that was twice as thick as before descended from the sky as if it was going to split the world in half.
After swinging the sword, the green-robed cultivator coughed out a mouthful of blood and immediately became dispirited. He didn't wait to see the result and immediately grabbed the sword and left.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and without a word, he pointed at his brow. Rays of black light came out and turned into wandering souls. They roared as they charged into the sky and collided with the ray of sword energy.
At the same time, the Thunder Frog let out an angry roar and spat out a ball of lightning that was even bigger than before.
"You want to run?"
Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and a restriction flag appeared in his hand. This restriction flag was very powerful. The moment it appeared, it turned into a black fog that surrounded Wang Lin and charged out.
When the thick ray of sword energy descended, it was first blocked by the hundreds of wandering souls. Although the wandering souls were immediately shattered when they got close, the power of the hundreds of wandering souls was not small. They managed to shrink the ray of sword energy by one fifth.
The ray of sword energy dimmed a bit.
Subsequently, the thunder toad's thunder ball rumbled as it approached and collided with the Sword Qi. The thunder ball instantly turned into light spots and dissipated. However, the Sword Qi was forcefully dispersed once again and shrunk by several times. The light on it immediately dimmed to the point where there was no light at all.
Finally, Wang Lin escaped with the help of the restriction flag. The ray of sword energy was no longer a threat to him and was easily destroyed by the restriction flag.
Wang Lin was surrounded by the restriction flag. Without any hesitation, he chased after the green-robed cultivator.
While the green-robed cultivator was escaping, he scanned his surroundings with his divine sense and his eyes widened in disbelief. He didn't expect Zhao Jiuge to so easily destroy the ray of sword energy. How could he not be shocked?
Wang Lin's expression was calm and his eyes were calm. That sword was very strange and the sword energy was very powerful. If it wasn't for the fact that he had prepared well before entering the Celestial Realm, he would have been injured by that sword energy.
Any Soul Formation cultivator that could enter the Celestial Realm couldn't be underestimated.
Wang Lin once again recognized this problem.
With the protection of the restriction flag, Wang Lin's speed was very fast. The distance between him and the green-robed cultivator was quickly shortened.
The green-robed cultivator's face was gloomy as he used that unknown technique again. His speed suddenly increased several fold and he soon arrived at the formation. His hand formed a seal and the formation appeared once more. He let out a sigh of relief. As long as he entered the formation, he could casually pick one of the Celestial Realm fragments and his opponent wouldn't be able to catch up.
"Just you wait, this time my Da Lou Sword Sect sent a total of four people. I'm only the one with the lowest cultivation. Once I find my senior brother, both of my swords will descend and you won't be able to leave the Celestial Realm!" He sneered.
