Wang Lin's eyes lit up and his body disappeared into the restriction flag.
However, it was very difficult for others to notice anything. After all, the green-robed cultivator's divine sense was only at the early stage of Soul Formation, while Wang Lin's divine sense was at the late stage of Soul Formation.
Although their cultivation levels were the same, the difference in their divine senses was too great.
This was why Wang Lin noticed him the moment he appeared, but the green-robed cultivator only noticed Wang Lin after flying for a while.
He stepped into the formation with one foot and turned around to look at the black fog in the distance. The smile on his face became even colder.
However, just at this moment, Wang Lin's figure suddenly appeared above the formation. As soon as he appeared, he threw out a bell.
The green-robed cultivator's face immediately turned pale. He didn't expect Wang Lin to catch up so quickly. While he was stunned, the bell had already grown into a giant bell several dozen feet wide. It fell down and locked the green-robed cultivator in place.
At this moment, Wang Lin waved his right hand and the restriction flag appeared in his hand. He shook it and the bell disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already on the ground.
Wang Lin's voice was calm as if he was talking to himself. "You can't escape!"
He sat down in a lotus position and formed a seal with his hand. He sent out a series of seals that landed on the bell.
The bell suddenly began to tremble and a series of clanging sounds came from within. The sounds didn't leak out too much and were mostly concentrated within the bell. Occasionally, miserable screams could be heard.
Not long after, the bell began to tremble even more violently. Aside from the clanging sounds, there were also sounds of collisions. It was clear that the green-robed cultivator wasn't willing to be refined and wanted to use the power of his sword to destroy the treasure.
Wang Lin knew that the treasured sword was very sharp, and it was still unknown if the bell could resist it. He snorted lightly, and his hands moved even faster. As more and more spells landed on the bell, the clanging sounds became louder and more frequent. As for the sound of the counterattack, it became weaker and weaker.
This bell was a treasure from the Shang Ji Cultivation Earth. Its main use was to trap people and then use the hand seals recorded on the bell to refine them. Even their origin souls could be completely refined. Of course, the prerequisite was that the person holding the bell had a higher cultivation level than the person being refined. Otherwise, it was very easy for them to suffer a backlash.
After Deity Transformation cultivators formed their primordial spirits, unless they were surrounded by several people, even if they won, it would be very difficult to completely kill their opponent.
However, if it was a Late Stage Soul Formation cultivator, it wouldn't be a problem.
Of course, if he was extremely weak, then it would be a different matter.
For example, when Hunchback Meng was extremely weak, he was framed by Wang Lin and died to the golden skeletal arm of the Hurricane King.
As Wang Lin's hand seals landed on the bell one by one, the scream inside slowly weakened until it completely disappeared. Wang Lin didn't stop, he continued to refine it a bit more before stopping.
He waved his right hand and the bell quickly shrank. He put it away in his bag of holding. Wang Lin wasn't in a rush to open the bell. In his opinion, even if the green-robed cultivator was really dead, there would be a counterattack before he died.
The counterattack of a Deity Transformation cultivator was extremely terrifying. With Wang Lin's cautiousness, how could he take such a risk? He didn't even bother looking at it. Instead, he put it away in his bag of holding. With the bell's refining ability, he could refine it for 10 days to half a month or even longer until the person's counterattack before he died!
Wang Lin's move was extremely ruthless!
He stood up. He had already put away the Thunder Frog and placed it on his wrist. After pondering for a bit, he was about to carefully search this celestial realm fragment, but at this moment, Wang Lin's expression suddenly changed. He immediately took out the restriction flag and sat down in the lotus position. He slapped his bag of holding and swallowed a few pills.
The spiritual energy in his body was quickly absorbed by the copper ring. After a long time, it finally stopped. Wang Lin slowly opened his eyes and swallowed a few more pills to replenish the spiritual energy in his body.
Wang Lin muttered to himself, "At first, it was once every six days, but now it is once every four days. Although this Thunder Frog is easy to use, it consumes too much spiritual energy to raise.
In the future, I have to be careful and transfer my spiritual energy in advance. Otherwise, if this happens during a fight, it will be very dangerous. "
He stood up and flew toward the group of palaces. After carefully searching the group of palaces, Wang Lin found nothing, so he began to search further away.
The celestial realm fragment he was in wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It was almost the size of the country of Zhao.
With a sweep of his divine sense, he could basically cover the entire fragment. However, this celestial realm spiritual energy couldn't be detected by divine sense. Unless it was very close, it would be useless.
Wang Lin spent a month walking through the celestial realm fragment. Finally, he found that aside from the group of palaces, there were no other buildings.
There were potholes everywhere on the ground, showing the struggle of the celestials during the calamity.
On this day, Wang Lin arrived at the Celestial Realm fragment. Aside from the mother and child peaks, there was another mountain. Although this mountain was very tall, its shape was a bit strange. To be more accurate, it looked like a large lock!
The mountain was still intact, but the trees on it had all withered and died. When Wang Lin touched them, the trunks immediately turned to dust.
Looking at the tree trunks on the mountain, Wang Lin smiled bitterly. It would have been great if these trees hadn't withered. Each of these trees was equivalent to a thousand years old, and some were even more than ten thousand years old.
Wang Lin was confident that if he used these trees to make wood carvings, the power of the wood carvings would increase several times. Unfortunately … Wang Lin wasn't willing to give up. He searched everywhere, and after checking all the trees on the mountain, he sighed helplessly.
At the top of the mountain, Wang Lin found a cave. The door to the cave was broken, and the inside was covered in dust. This place wasn't hidden, and Wang Lin didn't expect to find a cave that no one had ever been here before.
The cave wasn't big, and it only had seven or eight stone rooms. Wang Lin looked inside and found nothing. Someone must have come here to rob this place many years ago.
Before entering the cave, Wang Lin was already mentally prepared. Although he didn't find anything, it didn't affect his mood. His goal here was to see if there were any damaged restrictions inside the cave.
He wanted to see what the celestials' restrictions were like. If he could gain some enlightenment, it would be a great help to his realm of the 999 restriction flags.
After carefully looking around, he found that almost all the restrictions had disappeared, but that wasn't absolute. Outside one of the stone rooms, Wang Lin was happy to find a trace of a restriction.
This restriction wasn't very strong, and it had only been used to block the entrance. Although it had already been destroyed, there was still a trace of its aura left at the edge of the stone wall. Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he began to study it.
The celestials' restrictions were similar to the ancient restrictions that Wang Lin knew, but the internal structure was different. In truth, restrictions were still formations, but they were more flexible than formations.
Three days later, Wang Lin left the cave. That sliver of restriction had been engraved in his heart.
Wang Lin walked down the mountain and was about to leave. However, his expression suddenly changed. All the trees on the mountain had turned to dust when he checked them one by one.
But now, all the dust was floating in the air, as if there was some kind of mysterious power controlling them.
Wang Lin's expression didn't change. He slowly flew into the air, and when he looked down, his eyes narrowed.
When he looked down from his position, he saw that the ash actually formed two words!
"Save me!" Wang Lin frowned.
As the dust slowly dissipated, Wang Lin noticed that from above, the mountain looked more like a lock, and the cave was the lock's core.
Wang Lin pondered for a bit, but didn't continue to investigate. This place was very strange, and he didn't want to investigate further.
Most importantly, Wang Lin believed that he wasn't the first person to notice the abnormality of this mountain. Then why was it still here after all these years? Thinking of this, Wang Lin didn't want to investigate further. He slowly backed away from this place.
Even if there was a celestial sealed here, Wang Lin wouldn't be greedy when his life was in danger.
In the past few days, Wang Lin had already searched this fragment of the celestial world, but he didn't find any more celestial world energy. So Wang Lin decided to leave this place and search the other fragments.
Before leaving, Wang Lin filled the beast trap with spiritual energy. Then he arrived at the place where the green-robed cultivator came from. After pondering for a bit, he took out the bell.
According to Wang Lin's previous understanding, the way to leave this fragment of the celestial world was to continuously fly up until he broke through the barrier of the sky. Then he would reappear at the vortex of the celestial world gate, enter it again, and land on a random fragment.
However, the method the green-robed cultivator used to appear here was very strange. He actually used a transfer array. This made Wang Lin have a bold guess.
Some ancient sects, because they had entered the celestial world gate many times, had built some transfer arrays here. This allowed their disciples to teleport between the celestial world fragments that their sects had already explored.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He threw the bell forward and performed a few more hand seals to refine it. Two days later, Wang Lin calculated that even if the Soul Formation cultivator tried to retaliate before his death, he would have already refined the celestial world.
Thinking about this, he waved his right hand and the bell immediately grew larger. With a bang, a seven-colored aura came out from the bottom of the bell and it slowly opened.
Inside was a bag of holding and a treasure sword. However, the moment the bag was opened, the treasure sword let out a hum and a ray of sword energy the size of an arm shot out.
Wang Lin sneered and pointed at the sword energy. The sword energy dissipated and a roar of unwillingness came from within it. The origin soul disappeared without a trace.
Before the green-robed cultivator died, he hid his origin soul inside the sword and prepared to retaliate before his death. However, as time passed and he slowly refined the sword energy, his origin soul couldn't withstand it anymore. This counterattack was easily stopped by Wang Lin!
"… Two days in a row, one day 9,000 origin soul, one day 11,000 origin soul. Now I can't do it anymore. Let me rest for a few days and then I'll do it, okay?
