After picking up the ancient sword, Wang Lin scanned it with his divine sense and was shocked. He immediately revealed a look of ecstasy as he took a deep breath and carefully put the sword into his bag of holding.
This sword was very powerful, this was something Wang Lin already knew, but he didn't expect the sword's structure to be similar to the restriction flag. There were countless restrictions engraved on the sword, and all of them had a single offensive attribute. How could this sword be weak?
Wang Lin did a rough calculation and found that most of the offensive restrictions inside the sword were things he had never seen before. There were three restrictions in one group, and there was a total of 300 groups.
These restrictions obviously couldn't be comprehended in a short period of time. Wang Lin suppressed the thought of immediately studying it and picked up the bag of holding left behind by the green-robed cultivator.
After scanning the bag with his divine sense, Wang Lin revealed a strange expression.
After a long time, Wang Lin let out a sigh and said, "Killing people in the Celestial Realm for their treasures is indeed very tempting!"
There were only three items inside the bag of holding. One of them was a piece of jade, another was the Return Cauldron, and the last was top quality spirit stones. However, there were several hundred of them!
Even with Wang Lin's mental fortitude, his heart couldn't help but pound when he saw several hundred top quality spirit stones. He subconsciously looked around and began to laugh at himself.
"It seems like my mental fortitude is still not enough.
"It's no wonder that Wang Lin is like this. After all, top quality spirit stones are very rare in Suzaku. In fact, even on the cultivation planet the Da Lou Sect is on, top quality spirit stones are rare. However, the Da Lou Sect has been around for tens of thousands of years, so they naturally have some in stock.
After looking at the piece of jade, Wang Lin completely understood what was going on.
After going in and out of the Celestial Realm several times, the Da Lou Sect found a total of 37 fragments and secretly placed transfer arrays in each of them.
However, these transfer arrays were built in the Celestial Realm, so normal spirit stones couldn't activate them. This was why the green-robed cultivator had so many top quality spirit stones in his bag of holding.
Through his understanding, Wang Lin knew that a lot of the cultivators that entered the Celestial Realm had their own transfer array like the Da Lou Sect. Only those that came here for the first time or cultivators that relied on insects would choose to ascend to the Celestial Realm and randomly fall through the vortex.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he picked up the return cauldron. His heart skipped a beat. This return cauldron's function was to return to the cultivation planet he came from. If he activated the return cauldron, would he return to planet Suzaku or the Da Lou Sect?
Wang Lin pondered for a bit before putting the Return Cauldron away, separating it from his own. If he took the wrong one and returned to the Da Lou Sect, it would be dangerous.
After doing all this, Wang Lin threw the piece of jade in his hand forward. With a thought, the jade began to glow, and a formation slowly appeared in the air. There were two grooves on the formation, clearly for spirit stones.
Without a word, Wang Lin took out two top quality spirit stones and threw them into the grooves. Then the formation began to activate. The jade grew brighter and brighter, and an illusory map appeared on it.
Wang Lin wasn't unfamiliar with this image. It was the same image that every cultivator that entered the Celestial Realm saw when they fell. It was like a mirror being smashed to the ground.
In this image, there were 37 gray fragments. They were bright, and they formed a stark contrast with the others.
As Wang Lin looked at the image, he recalled where his fragments were when he fell from the vortex. His eyes lit up, and he found where he was.
He pointed at one of the fragments with his right hand, and the image disappeared. The formation was fully activated, and Wang Lin's figure disappeared in the air.
Somewhere at the edge of the Celestial Realm, there was a violent wind. There was a giant crack in the sky, and gusts of cold wind came out from it. The entire world seemed to be enveloped by the power of the crack.
There were no mountains in that place. Instead, it was a desert. Countless years ago, there were mountains and water here. However, after the calamity, an immortal's treasure, the Blackwind Immortal Sword, was smashed into this place. It tore the space apart and formed this crack.
As for the sword, it also shattered the moment it tore open space. It turned into a violent wind that blew endlessly at this place.
At this moment, a formation appeared in the sky. The formation flickered with a bright light, forming a defensive barrier that blocked the wind outside. However, the barrier was shaking violently, as though it could shatter at any moment.
Wang Lin's figure appeared inside the formation. He carefully looked around and frowned. This place was clearly too different from the fragment he was on before. If the fragment he was on before wasn't that damaged, then this place was completely destroyed.
Logically speaking, why would the Da Lou Sect set up a transportation formation in a place like this? Wang Lin pondered for a bit. Seeing the barrier shaking even more violently, he charged out of the formation.
The moment he walked out of the barrier, Wang Lin immediately felt the knife-like wind hitting his body. The formation behind him slowly disappeared, hidden by a special method.
There was only one sound left in this world, and that was the sobbing of the wind. It was as if there were countless people crying in the surroundings. This feeling became clearer as Wang Lin's body continued to fall.
The moment he landed on the sand, Wang Lin suddenly became vigilant. He looked behind him and saw that as the wind blew by, black figures slowly appeared in the distance.
Wang Lin was shocked. He saw these black figures, but his divine sense didn't sense them.
Without a word, he slapped his bag of holding and the restriction banner appeared in his hand.
At this moment, the black figures gradually became clearer. Wang Lin's expression immediately became strange. These figures were all beautiful young women.
These women wore rainbow-colored clothes, and behind them was a group of children holding trays with countless celestial fruits and wine.
These people were talking and laughing as they walked toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin frowned. These people seemed to be talking and laughing, but strangely, there was no sound coming from them. The only sound was the sobbing of the wind.
These people gradually got closer and closer. Wang Lin's eyes narrowed as he saw some black shadows appear above them. These black shadows slowly revealed themselves to be youths. They were standing on clouds and flying with the group. It was as if they were guarding the group, and their gazes would occasionally sweep the area.
Wang Lin took a deep breath and put away the restriction banner. At this moment, these people had already arrived in front of Wang Lin. Wang Lin didn't dodge at all and let them walk past him.
One of the children actually passed through Wang Lin's body.
It wasn't until the group was far away that Wang Lin let out a bitter smile. He had already noticed that these weren't real people, but illusions.
This fragment of the Celestial Realm must have a mysterious force that could recreate scenes of the Celestial Realm from the past.
Wang Lin looked at the figures that disappeared into the distance and felt melancholy in his heart. These people must have existed back then, but now they were gone with the wind, leaving behind only this illusion.
What exactly happened to the Celestial Realm back then? Why was it destroyed to such a degree?
This question appeared in Wang Lin's mind again. He pondered for a bit and followed the illusions from afar.
These people walked further and further away. After a long time, they stopped at a certain location. Wang Lin carefully observed them from behind. He immediately noticed that after these people stopped, the illusions changed again. A palace-like building appeared. There were many tables inside, and these people placed celestial fruits and wine on them.
Behind the tables sat several sage-like cultivators. These people were chatting and laughing. Sometimes they would wave their hands and spells would appear on their fingers as if they were trying to prove something.
Wang Lin looked at the scene before him, especially at the spells of the sage-like cultivators. He took a deep breath. These people didn't use any spells at all. All of their spells and spells were very natural. It was as if the power of the world was in their hands and they could use it at will.
At that moment, one of them rose to his feet, a look of anger on his face. He pointed at one of the other people and loudly said a few words. Next, he waved his hand, causing a violet ball of lightning to appear. He pointed at the ball of lightning and tossed it up into the air, causing it to fly out of the hall.
Wang Lin's gaze followed the ball of lightning, but at this moment, the originally beautiful sky suddenly changed. Black lightning flashed across the sky. The lightning quickly turned into a giant fist that smashed into the ball of lightning.
The ball of lightning immediately collapsed, but the fist didn't stop at all and continued to descend from the sky.
The expressions of the people inside the palace changed greatly. Two of them reacted quickly and flew out of the palace to check, but the giant fist formed by the lightning had already descended.
The power of one punch!
All of the celestials' bodies exploded into nothingness, and the entire palace collapsed. Only the two celestials that flew out first blocked the fist with seven-colored light.
Their expressions changed greatly. At that moment, a blue ray of sword light spun in their direction from the distance. It tore open a huge rift in the sky, from which a black aura rushed out.
Shortly after, a giant palm appeared in the sky and gently grabbed the sword in the blue light. With one squeeze, the sword cracked and collapsed into specks of blue light that disappeared into the crack. However, the sword sheath didn't collapse. Instead, after many cracks appeared on it, it disappeared into the crack in the sky.
