There were nine stone rooms in this cave, and they were all empty. However, Wang Lin's gaze was locked onto the wall of the largest stone room in the middle. He began to ponder.
The piece of metal from the Heavenly Treasure Celestial had detailed instructions on how to open his cave. It also told him that there were a total of ten stone rooms in the cave. The stone room that sealed the God Slaying War Chariot was the 10th First Division!
"There are only nine stone rooms here, where did the 10th come from?"
Wang Lin frowned. He had already spread out his divine sense and scanned the area several times, but he didn't find any hidden stone rooms.
Wang Lin walked up to the inner wall and touched it. It was cold to the touch and there was nothing special about it.
He pondered a bit before slapping his bag of holding and the golden piece of metal appeared in his hand.
The moment the piece of metal appeared, it released a blinding golden light and a burning sensation. Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat. He let go of the piece of metal and threw it up.
The piece of metal glowed even brighter and gradually began to melt. However, there was no liquid falling down. Instead, it turned into strands of green smoke that rose into the air in the shape of a mushroom.
In the mushroom-shaped green smoke, an illusionary figure gradually appeared. This person had the demeanor of an immortal. His beard fluttered without any wind. Not only was he handsome, but he also had a dignified expression.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He took a few steps back and coldly looked over.
After the sage-like person appeared, his hands formed a seal and shot out a golden light that landed on the surrounding walls. The entire cave rumbled and began to sink.
The ground under his feet trembled. Wang Lin's eyes were calm as he looked around.
After a long time, the ground trembled and stopped sinking. In the middle of the cave, there was a door emitting a purple and red light!
The sage-like man formed a strange seal with his hands and pointed at the purplish-red door. Then, his entire body slowly disappeared. Even the metal piece completely disappeared.
Wang Lin took a deep breath and stared unblinkingly at the purplish-red door. If this place was included, then the number of stone rooms in the abode suddenly became ten!
"This illusion is definitely that of the Celestial Heavenly Treasure. He really is worthy of being an expert in the art of artifact forging. His immortal's cave is probably one of the few. Even if someone finds it, it'll be very difficult to find the real treasure," thought Wang Lin.
His eyes glittered as he approached the violet-red door. After a moment of silence, he imitated the Heavenly Treasure Reverend's movements and performed an incantation gesture, then pressed it against the door.
Immediately, the door moved and slowly opened to both sides.
Wang Lin's divine sense spread out and his eyes immediately lit up!
The tenth stone room was not big, about a few hundred feet in size. Apart from some messy refining materials, the most eye-catching thing were the three huge objects in the middle.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a colossus. It had a ferocious appearance filled with sharp thorns, and it was covered with something that looked like beast skin. Among the sharp thorns, the one in the middle was as thick as a person, and it flickered with a cold light.
This was only the upper part of the object. Below it was a war chariot that mortals used to attack cities. It had four giant wheels.
The chariot was about 100 feet long, and with the three chariots placed side by side, they almost filled the entire stone room.
The moment Wang Lin stepped into the stone room, three illusionary souls appeared from the three chariots. These three souls looked even more ferocious than the chariots. After they appeared, they immediately let out roars.
Their roars had the effect of shaking one's soul and were very penetrating. Even the mountains trembled and some dust fell.
This beast's head was as large as a bucket and was triangular in shape. Its body was like a bull and was filled with a violent aura. There was also a tail behind it. This tail was like a flood dragon with a mouth, nose, and eyes at the end. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it had two heads.
The moment Wang Lin saw this beast, he immediately searched Tu Si's memory. Unfortunately, there was no record of this beast. However, there were many beasts in the world, so it wasn't strange for Tu Si to not know about them.
These three beast souls looked the same, but they were different in size. The war chariot soul in the middle was slightly larger and the other two were slightly smaller.
After the three beast souls appeared, their large, red eyes stared at Wang Lin. They revealed vicious gazes as they charged toward Wang Lin and tried to devour her.
Wang Lin's expression was calm and he only took a step back.
The moment the three ferocious beast souls charged at Wang Lin, countless chains as thick as an arm appeared on their bodies. These chains pierced through the three beast souls' bodies. When the three beast souls were within one meter of Wang Lin, the chains began to shine.
The three beast souls let out painful roars as their bodies were dragged back by the chains and locked onto the war chariot.
Only the beast in the middle, which was slightly larger in size, was forcefully dragged forward by another foot under the pull of the chains. Only then was it painfully dragged back.
However, the three beast souls were unwilling and began to struggle. The surrounding cave began to tremble as if it could collapse at any moment.
Wang Lin calmed his mind. Although he didn't know the names of the three beast souls, the Heavenly Treasure Celestial's metal piece had recorded how to control the war chariot. It also vaguely pointed out that there were beast souls on the war chariot, but they were locked down by the soul chains and couldn't escape more than three meters.
Looking at the three struggling beast souls, Wang Lin raised his hand and formed strange seals according to the instructions on the piece of metal. The moment these seals left his hand, they turned into rings of black light.
When the three beast souls saw the rings of light, they began to struggle even more violently.
Gradually, as Wang Lin's movements became faster, the number of rings of light increased. After a long time, there were more than 100 rings of light in the stone room. Wang Lin let out a roar and stared at the war chariot in the middle.
"Seal!"
Suddenly, all the rings of light turned into afterimages and shot toward the war chariot in the middle.
The beast soul on the war chariot let out a roar. Its eyes were filled with unwillingness as it quickly shrank back into the war chariot, allowing the rings of light to wrap around it. Finally, the war chariot suddenly moved and flew into the air.
As it flew, the size of the war chariot changed. It became smaller and smaller until it was only the size of a palm and landed in Wang Lin's hand.
Wang Lin glanced at it and then put it into his bag of holding.
In order to use the war chariot, one must first subdue the beast soul. The power of the beast soul was not something that Wang Lin could control. Therefore, he could only use the technique on the metal piece to temporarily seal it and put it into a sleeping state.
In fact, the Heavenly Treasure Esteemed had never imagined that his war chariot would be taken by a Soul Formation Cultivator. In his opinion, only a Soul Transformation Cultivator would be able to use this war chariot.
After putting away the war chariot, Wang Lin's gaze fell on the left war chariot and once again used the same method to seal the beast soul.
Finally, only the war chariot was left. The beast soul on this war chariot was the smallest, but it was not something that Wang Lin could subdue at the moment.
When the beast soul saw two of its companions being sealed again, it let out an angry roar that never stopped.
If it was the Heavenly Treasure Esteemed from back then, it would have yielded. However, when it saw this Cultivator that it could kill with a single slap, its pride would not allow it to lower its head.
Wang Lin stared at the beast, his heart struggling. He didn't know if he should gamble or not. If he won, he could temporarily obtain the beast soul, but if he lost, he would be in danger.
After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin touched the beast trap on his wrist. This trap should be able to seal the beast soul. However, this beast soul must have been a celestial beast when it was alive. Whether or not the beast trap would be able to trap it was another question. Even if it could, whether or not it could absorb the spiritual energy was another question.
After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin gave up on the idea of taking the risk. His eyes lit up as he sent out hundreds of black rings to seal the beast soul and the war chariot.
"It's a pity that I don't know how powerful this God Slaying War Chariot is. However, the Heavenly Treasure Esteemed sounded very confident, so it shouldn't be too bad. Furthermore, the beast soul sealed inside the war chariot is extremely powerful. I don't think it will disappoint me.
"It's a pity that I can't use it right now." Wang Lin's gaze swept across the room and landed on some of the refining materials at the edge of the room.
He swept everything up and put them into his bag of holding. After carefully inspecting them a few more times, he left. Outside the violet door, Wang Lin used the hand seal that the Heavenly Treasure Esteemed had just given him to raise the cave back to its original state. After that, he walked out of the cave.
"This God Slaying War Chariot is indeed mysterious. It doesn't need any Spirit Stones to activate it. Instead, it uses the soul power of the beast soul to activate it. That way, I can save a lot of Spirit Stones. However, if it really needs Spirit Stones to activate it, then perhaps only celestial jades would be enough."
Wang Lin thought to himself as he floated in the air.
"I just don't know if activating the God Slaying War Chariot will affect the beast soul. Normally speaking, there shouldn't be an endless source of energy. If that's the case, the beast soul will be damaged after activating the war chariot a few times. If it exceeds a certain number of times, it might even dissipate.
"It's a pity that the Heavenly Treasure Esteemed didn't record any of this." Wang Lin looked up at the sky and thought to himself.
"It seems like the Heavenly Treasure Esteemed didn't have much life left before he died, so he couldn't record everything in detail. He could only choose some important things to record. As for the details of this God Slaying War Chariot, I'll have to research it myself." Wang Lin took a deep breath and touched his bag of holding with a happy smile on his face.
"This trip to the Celestial Realm was quite rewarding, but the risk was also great. If I was the slightest bit careless when the fragment collapsed, I would have already died. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. This saying is true!
If that's the case, I'll have to carefully consider Chi Hu's invitation. "Wang Lin's eyes flickered as he floated in the air.
He didn't sit firmly on the third place and fell to the fourth place. Furthermore, there were people coming at him aggressively. He was in danger!
