After sending out that palm, all of the spiritual energy in Wang Lin's body disappeared. Luckily, he was very experienced with this due to the beast trap, so he quickly took out a pill and swallowed it. Then, before the pill completely melted, he threw out a piece of jade, opened the formation, picked a random fragment, and disappeared.
When Red Butterfly raised her head, Wang Lin had already disappeared. Her eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
"To have a transfer array, this person's identity is not ordinary. His cultivation is extraordinary, he is bold, careful, has a strange domain, and has a lot of treasures. He must be an elite disciple of a rank 5 cultivation country in Suzaku …" Red Butterfly's eyes lit up. After pondering a bit, she turned around and flew off into the distance to search for celestial spiritual energy.
Wang Lin didn't look closely at the celestial fragment he chose this time. He casually pointed at one. When he appeared, he couldn't help but be startled. This place was like a world of fire. The ground was covered in dark red magma.
Occasionally, there would be some hot bubbles that emitted a pungent smell.
The sky was dark and there would occasionally be spatial cracks that looked like sharp blades flying across the sky.
Wang Lin floated in the air and looked around. This celestial fragment was different from the previous two. It looked like it could collapse at any moment. The spatial rifts in the sky were like the mouths of demons that would devour people, causing them to feel fear just by looking at them.
Wang Lin frowned. He couldn't figure out why the Da Lou Sect would build their transfer array in such a dangerous place. Could it be that there was more celestial spiritual energy in such an environment?
With this question in mind, Wang Lin flew out of the transfer array. He spread out his divine sense to avoid being affected by the spatial cracks as he slowly flew down.
He flew down without any problems, but when Wang Lin was less than 1,000 feet from the ground, a spatial crack suddenly appeared next to him.
Wang Lin was shocked. His divine sense didn't notice this, but he wasn't someone who had just entered the cultivation world. His reaction was very fast. The moment the spatial crack appeared, he moved several feet to the side.
The crack appeared and disappeared just as quickly. It disappeared almost as soon as it appeared.
Beads of sweat appeared on Wang Lin's forehead. He lowered his head and looked at the left side of his shirt. A large part of his shirt had disappeared, as if it had been devoured.
He looked around cautiously. At that moment, in Wang Lin's opinion, this fragment was as dangerous as the Land of the Ancient Gods.
The appearance of the spatial rift was far too strange; there was no way to detect it in advance. Wang Lin thought for a moment, then cautiously descended. After enough time passed for an incense stick to burn, he finally landed thirty meters above the ground.
This was a relatively safe height. Not only were there fewer spatial cracks, but the lava on the ground was also very weak.
However, Wang Lin's caution did not decrease in the slightest. He slowly flew forward. He wanted to see why the Daluo Sect would set up a teleportation formation here.
His surroundings were not completely silent. Occasionally, there would be some rumbling coming from the ground. Apart from that, there was also the sound of burning flames and popping bubbles. When these sounds were mixed together, it made one's heart involuntarily heat up.
As he flew, Wang Lin gradually came to understand the terrain of this fragment. This fragment wasn't very big. More accurately speaking, it was the smallest of the three he had seen so far. There was a large hole in the southeast of this fragment. Aside from that, there was nothing else out of the ordinary.
After a long time, Wang Lin flew to the top of the hole. When he looked down, he saw that it was pitch-black without any light.
He muttered to himself for a moment, but he didn't rashly enter. Instead, he used several days to carefully search through this spatial fragment. After confirming that there was nothing out of the ordinary, Wang Lin returned to the top of the hole.
His eyes flashed. Just as he was about to enter, there was a sudden flash of light in the sky. A teleportation formation appeared in the air.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He had been hesitating about whether or not to enter this place. Now that someone had come, if someone opened the way, the danger he was in would be greatly reduced.
His body suddenly disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, two figures appeared from the teleportation formation in the air. Both of them had a sword on their back. After walking out of the formation, one of them immediately said, "Sixth junior brother, this is your first time here. You must be careful of the spatial cracks around you. This place is very dangerous!
You need to constantly use the Full Search Art! "
The person beside him quickly lowered his head and nodded. The two of them carefully flew toward the hole.
Along the way, several spatial cracks appeared around the two of them, but the two of them seemed to be able to detect them in advance. Often, they would be able to dodge the spatial cracks before they appeared. Their speed was several times faster than Wang Lin's and they arrived outside the hole.
These two were both at the early stage of Soul Formation, so they naturally couldn't detect Wang Lin's divine sense, which was at the late stage of Soul Formation.
"Third senior brother, is this the Celestial Beast Palace from the past?"
The sixth junior brother looked at the hole and asked in confusion.
"No, this place used to be one of the 16 Celestial Beast Palaces in the Celestial Realm. The ancestor found it by chance after entering the Celestial Realm several times. However, there should be a lot of people who know about this place. The last time I came here, I saw three groups of people looking for the celestial beast's spirit."
The third senior brother nodded. Then he seemed to remember something and warned, "After entering this place, you can't use teleportation, so you must be careful."
As the two of them spoke, their bodies sank into the hole.
Wang Lin's figure appeared outside. His body flickered and he quietly followed them inside. He spread out his divine sense and carefully observed the surroundings while staring at the two people in front of him.
"Third senior brother, after so many years, we don't know if there are any remnants of the celestial beast's spirit. Even if there are remnants, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to obtain them with our strength."
"Sixth junior brother, you might not know this, but if there are remnants of the celestial beast's spirit, they must be extremely weak after so many years of being nourished by the Celestial Realm Qi. Once we find one and send it to the sect, we will have made a great contribution!
Back then, the ancestor obtained an Immortal Kirin beast's spirit here. That was how she unified the Divine Shield Planet and made the Daluo Sect famous. "
Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat as he listened to the two. So this was where the Celestial Beast Palace was located. Although he didn't know what the Celestial Beast Palace was, he had some guesses from the name and the conversation between the two.
This place should be the habitat of the celestial beasts in the Celestial Realm. Not all the celestial beasts went extinct during the calamity. There were still some remaining celestial beasts here.
This was also the reason why there was a teleportation array here.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he followed the two down. The cave wasn't very deep, so it didn't take long for them to reach the bottom. After the two brothers landed, they immediately flew forward.
Wang Lin scanned the area with his divine sense and was shocked. At the bottom of the cave was a very large cave. It was like a beehive with many entrances and exits.
He pondered for a bit before flying toward one of the entrances. This entrance was where the two brothers had entered.
While flying, Wang Lin's eyes suddenly narrowed. His divine sense saw that the two brothers had stopped about 100 feet away from him. In front of the two of them was a stone statue dozens of feet wide.
This stone statue was of a bird beast with giant wings.
"Back then, the ancestor found the Immortal Kirin beast here. Junior brother, help protect me while I collect the Celestial Realm Qi."
After the sixth junior brother heard this, he quickly pointed at the sword on his back. The sword immediately flew up and floated above his head. He carefully looked around. If there was any movement, he would immediately attack.
Third senior brother looked at his junior brother with satisfaction and took a deep breath. He used some unknown spell, and the veins on his hands swelled up. He let out a roar and his hands suddenly pressed against the stone statue. As thunderous rumbles echoed, the stone statue slowly moved to the side. His face turned pale and he retreated a few steps. His hands formed a seal and a powerful gust of wind immediately landed on the stone statue.
The stone statue moved a bit more, revealing a fist-sized black hole. Strands of Celestial Realm Qi came out from it.
The third senior brother immediately slapped his bag of holding and took out a small, blue gourd. The celestial Realm Qi was immediately absorbed by the gourd.
"Sixth junior brother, our harvest this time is pretty good. This celestial Realm Qi is enough to form two crystals. You and I each have one, so we have met the sect's minimum requirement." The third senior brother laughed as he placed his hands on the stone statue and slowly placed it back in place.
The sixth junior brother nodded. He looked at the gourd and said, "This must be the Soul Cleansing Gourd, right?"
The third senior brother took out a pill. After eating one, he shook the gourd and proudly said, "That's right, this is the Soul Cleansing Gourd personally refined by the ancestor. There are only three of them in the entire sect. With this treasure, we don't need to waste time condensing. This way, we can quickly absorb Celestial Realm Qi."
When Wang Lin saw this, he couldn't help but place his attention on the gourd. This gourd was definitely a rare treasure. If he had it, he wouldn't need to waste time condensing Celestial Realm Qi and would be able to absorb even more Celestial Realm Qi.
He let out a sneer. From the way these two were dressed, they were the disciples of the Da Lou Sword Sect. They had already formed a grudge with the sect, so they wanted to find a way to steal this treasure.
Both of them were at the early stage of Soul Formation, but the sixth junior brother had just reached the Soul Formation stage, so his cultivation hadn't stabilized yet. However, these two must have some powerful treasures, so it would be difficult to steal them. Wang Lin pondered a bit. He didn't act rashly and waited for an opportunity.
After the two of them put away the gourd, they discussed for a bit before flying toward the cave.
This place was full of twists and turns. If it wasn't for Wang Lin's divine sense locking onto the two of them, he would have easily lost them. After the two of them flew for a long time, the third senior brother suddenly stopped. He stared into the distance and revealed a strange expression.
In the distance, where that person was looking at, there was a skeleton leaning against the wall. There was an orb of light in the skeleton's hand that gave off waves of fusion light.
The 301st child, Wang Lin, scanned it with his divine sense and frowned. This skeleton was very strange. The bones were greyish white, a strange color. It was not strange to find skeletons here, but after a long time, the color of the bones would change, and there would be signs of corrosion. However, this skeleton did not show any such signs.
There was also the ball of light in the skeleton's hand. There was a trace of celestial aura coming from it. It was clearly not an ordinary item.
However, for some unknown reason, Wang Lin felt a sense of crisis. He pondered for a moment and watched coldly.
Third Senior Brother's eyes flashed and he said, "Sixth Junior Brother, go up and take a look. What is that ball of light in the skeleton's hand?"
Sixth Junior Brother hesitated for a moment, then nodded and stepped forward. He walked a few steps until he reached the skeleton. Just as he was about to lean in, Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and the sense of danger in his heart became even more obvious.
At this moment, the Third Senior Brother suddenly shouted.
"Retreat!"
As he spoke, he waved his right hand and the sword on his back flew up. A ray of sword light flew out and slashed the space in front of the Sixth Junior Brother.
With a bang, the skeleton turned into dust and disappeared. The ball of light flew up and a thin thread suddenly shot out from it. In a flash, it drilled into the center of the sixth junior brother's eyebrows.
At this moment, the sword light arrived. The thread let out an unwilling roar, turned around, and disappeared into the hole on the side.
This happened as fast as lightning. The Sixth Junior Brother's forehead was covered in sweat. He stared at the Third Senior Brother without saying a word.
"Sixth Junior Brother, chase it!"
Third Senior Brother's eyes were filled with ecstasy. After saying those words, he sped off in the direction that the thin thread was heading.
The Sixth Junior Brother hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth and followed.
"Senior Brother, what is that?"
"We're pretty lucky. If I'm not wrong, this is the food of celestial beasts. Celestial beasts love this food the most. Normally, wherever this food exists, there will be the spirit of a celestial beast nearby. The skeleton just now must have been attacked by this beast and its flesh and blood were devoured.
Junior Brother, you don't mind. I've only just released it, otherwise, I wouldn't have let you go and take a look. "
The Third Senior Brother explained as he chased.
The Sixth Junior Brother lowered his head and slowly said, "A mere celestial beast's food already has such power. If it had entered my forehead, I would have become a skeleton by now …"
"Junior Brother, don't panic. This thing only attacks with its body and doesn't have any spells. Furthermore, it is extremely afraid of spells. As long as it doesn't enter your body, it won't be too difficult to deal with. You only need to use your sword energy to cut it in half!"
The Third Junior Brother laughed and said.
As the two chased, Wang Lin followed behind. His eyes flickered and he sneered in his heart. Although the two of them seemed to be full of camaraderie, with Wang Lin's experience, he could tell that the Third Senior Brother had ulterior motives.
The scene just now was clearly because this person noticed something was wrong, so he ordered his Junior Brother to take a look and use him as bait to lure out the so-called celestial beast's food.
Wang Lin followed behind at a moderate pace and stared ahead with his Divine Sense.
He saw the two of them going through the caves one by one as they chased. Gradually, the two of them went deeper and deeper into the cave.
The Third Senior Brother felt a bit uneasy. Although he had come to the Celestial Beast Mansion once before, he had never gone so deep. He couldn't help but hesitate if he should continue the chase.
Just at this moment, Wang Lin saw with his Divine Sense that the celestial beast's food slowed down and disappeared into a fist-sized hole at the end.
Wang Lin's Divine Sense followed closely. His expression suddenly changed. Inside the small hole, the walls were filled with countless thin lines. One end of these thin lines was fixed to the wall while the other end was slowly swaying.
In the middle of the cave was a white jade that exuded dense Celestial World Aura.
Next to the jade was a skeleton. This skeleton was dark and emitted a black light. He was wearing tattered clothes, but there was a golden piece of metal on his chest that emitted bursts of pressure.
In addition to this, this person was holding a flying sword. This flying sword looked very similar to the Celestial Box 0 that Wang Lin saw in the illusion!
In addition, what shocked Wang Lin the most was that he clearly saw a black line drilling back and forth on the skeleton. Every time it drilled into a hole, the skeleton would tremble as if it was coming back to life.
Wang Lin stopped. Without any hesitation, he backed up and found a place to hide. He slapped his bag of holding and took out the restriction flag. With a wave of the flag, it wrapped around his body until he was no different from the surrounding walls.
The Third Senior Brother chased in front and also spread out his Divine Sense. He immediately noticed the abnormality inside the small hole. His body stopped and his face turned pale. There were probably tens of thousands of celestial beast's food inside the small hole.
At this moment, the Sixth Junior Brother also noticed this and his expression became ugly. The two of them looked at each other and slowly backed up.
However, it was too late. Black lines suddenly charged out from the small hole and turned into rays of silver light. In the blink of an eye, they arrived before the two of them.
The Third Senior Brother's expression changed greatly. Without any hesitation, he shouted, "Dual Sword Descent!"
The sword flew into the sky and slashed down. At the same time, the Sixth Junior Brother also clenched his teeth and slashed down with his sword.
Suddenly, the two sword energies intersected like dragons and slashed down. All of the black lines in front of them disappeared.
The sword energy landed on the small hole and created a 30-foot-wide gap. The power of the two swords caused many parts of the Celestial Beast Mansion, which wasn't very sturdy to begin with, to immediately collapse.
More and more fine threads came out of the gap.
Among these black lines, there was a black line that was extremely eye-catching.
"Let's go!"
The Third Senior Brother immediately retreated. The Sixth Junior Brother quickly followed. His heart was beating like crazy and his scalp was numb.
The speed at which the two of them retreated was obviously inferior to the fine threads. They'd only retreated a few steps when those fine threads blotted out the heavens and covered the earth as they chased after them. Just as they were about to charge over, a fierce expression flashed in Third Senior Brother's eyes, and without saying a word, he pressed his palm onto Sixth Junior Brother's back.
The Sixth Junior Brother suddenly turned around and revealed a mocking expression. His right hand reached out and grabbed the Third Senior Brother's arm. He sneered. "Third Senior Brother, what are you doing!?"
As he spoke, his aura suddenly changed. Before, he was a cultivator who had just entered the Soul Formation stage, but now, his cultivation level immediately increased. In the blink of an eye, he was at the mid stage of Soul Formation. With one pull, the third senior apprentice brother's bag of holding and sword were grabbed by this person, and he threw them to the back.
"You …" Third Senior Martial Brother turned pale with fright. Before he could finish speaking, the huge swarm of fine threads surged forward and drilled into every part of his body. In the blink of an eye, the physical body of an early Deity Transformation cultivator was reduced to a corpse.
His origin soul flew out from his body, but just at this moment, the Sixth Junior Brother's eyes lit up. He formed a seal and shot out a few seals to block the black lines.
His origin soul paused for a moment and lost his chance to escape. However, a black line behind him turned into black lightning and entered his origin soul. After it circled around his origin soul, his origin soul withered and was devoured by the black line.
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother!"
The Sixth Junior Brother saw this with his divine sense and moved even faster. With his Senior Brother blocking the black lines, he had a chance to escape.
When the Sixth Junior Brother passed by where Wang Lin was hiding, Wang Lin's eyes lit up, but he didn't act rashly.
The Sixth Junior Brother passed by Wang Lin, and a few breaths later, a large amount of black lines chased after him. When the Sixth Junior Brother passed by where Wang Lin was hiding, Wang Lin became very nervous.
As the black lines passed by, the black line paused for a moment before continuing to chase after the Sixth Junior Brother.
After the black lines passed by, Wang Lin waited for a few breaths before charging toward the hole created by the sword energy.
His body was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared inside the hole. At this moment, more black lines appeared on the wall and charged toward him. Wang Lin let out a snort and waved the restriction flag in his hand. His body was surrounded by black fog to block the black lines.
He knew that time was of the essence, so he didn't hesitate to grab the flying sword in the skeleton's hand.
However, the flying sword suddenly released a powerful pressure. It was as if Wang Lin's hand was pressing down on a thorn. Tiny blood spots appeared on his hand and he quickly withdrew his hand.
At this moment, the threads outside the cave had already turned around, and the one leading them was the strange, black thread. After Wang Lin saw this, he gave up on the flying sword and grabbed the jade. The jade immediately flew into his hand.
He decisively gave up on the idea of taking the piece of metal from the skeleton's chest. He used his fastest speed to rush out of the cave. The moment he left, the black lines returned to the hole. Shortly after, there was a loud roar and the black lines charged out. One end of the line shook as it chased after Wang Lin.
Along the way, Wang Lin used his full speed to pass through one cave after another. As he moved, he placed his finger on his forehead and called out wandering souls to leave behind a bit of his divine sense. This was to confuse the wandering souls.
As he escaped, Wang Lin noticed that the wandering souls he had thrown out were quickly disappearing. His divine sense clearly saw that the black lines seemed to have gone crazy. They didn't go through the caves, but instead went through the walls and destroyed the wandering souls one by one.
There were many caves in the Celestial Beast Mansion. Many of them had been buried by the calamity in the past, and the two rays of sword energy had caused many caves to collapse.
At this moment, the crazy black lines were rampaging through the caves. One by one, the caves couldn't withstand the destructive force and collapsed.
