His body flickered and he flew toward the Sea of Devils.
Along the way, Wang Lin didn't slow down at all. After passing through several transfer arrays, he arrived at a city 5,000 kilometers away.
This city was called Devil Rebel City. It was one of the top ten cities in the Sea of Devils, ranked third. It was several times larger than any city Wang Lin had seen before.
There was a description of this city on Wang Lin's map, but that information was from before the Sea of Devils was invaded. Right now, there were many new powers in the Sea of Devils, so Wang Lin didn't know if there were any changes.
However, he wasn't here to cause trouble; he just wanted to buy some gifts for Li Muwan.
After paying a few low quality spirit stones, Wang Lin entered Devil Rebel City.
There were many cultivators in the city, so it was very lively. Wang Lin wore a straw hat as he looked around and couldn't help but smile. Among the many shops, there was a five story pavilion that was very eye-catching. There was a sign with the words "Treasure Refining Pavilion."
Wang Lin pondered a bit and walked toward the pavilion.
After entering the pavilion, Wang Lin looked around and went to the second floor. The items on the second floor couldn't enter Wang Lin's eyes, so he went to the third floor.
There was a middle aged man sitting on the third floor. He was carefully reading a scroll. When he saw Wang Lin come up, he put down the scroll and smiled. "Guest, what do you want to buy?"
Wang Lin looked at it and calmly said, "Pill recipes!"
The middle aged man smiled. "My Treasure Refining Pavilion has a lot of pill recipes. Which one would you like?"
Wang Lin sat on a chair and said, "Rank 5 and above!"
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed. He stood up and personally poured a cup of tea. He said, "Fifth-rank elixir recipes are all priceless. We don't have many of them in Devil Rebel City. We only have three. Please wait a moment, I'll go get them for you."
As he spoke, he hurriedly went upstairs. Not long after, he came back down with three brocade boxes. Behind him was an old man. His eyes were bright and his body emitted waves of spiritual pressure.
He calmly looked at Wang Lin and silently pondered.
Wang Lin casually looked at the old man before looking at the boxes in the middle aged man's hands.
The middle aged man put down the boxes and smiled. "These are three rank 5 pill recipes. Two of them are from the Cloud Sky Sect in Chu and the other one is from the Edge of the World Sect in the desert. These are the jades with the effects of the pills. Guest, please take a look." With that, he waved his hand and three more jades appeared on the boxes.
Wang Lin picked them up one by one. These jades only had the effects of the pills, but not the recipes. The recipes were in the boxes.
Before Wang Lin left, he had read through all of the rank 5 pills the Cloud Sky Sect had, so he immediately recognized the Cloud Sky Sect's jade. After looking through them with his divine sense, he no longer paid attention to them and placed his attention on the Edge of the World Sect's jade.
After a long time, Wang Lin put down the jades and calmly said, "I want this Return to Origin pill from the Edge of the World Sect.
"I want this Return to Origin Elixir from the Edge of the World. Do you have a sixth-grade elixir recipe in the Equipment Refining Pavilion?"
The middle aged man hesitated for a moment before looking at the old man next to him. The old man nodded his head with a serious expression. The middle aged man immediately smiled and said, "Pill recipes above the sixth rank are priceless items. Our Artifact Refining Pavilion only has one, but it is not sold by itself. Instead, it is sold at the Devil Cultivation Auction that is held once every ten years.
If guest wants it, you can wait for two months. The auction is in two months. "
Wang Lin frowned and said, "No need. How much is this rank 5 pill recipe?"
The middle aged man smiled and said, "Guest, do you want to trade for it or buy it with spirit stones?"
Wang Lin said, "Spirit stones!"
The middle aged man revealed a difficult expression and said, "This … My Treasure Refining Pavilion doesn't sell spirit stones for items that have reached a certain level …"
Wang Lin frowned and stood up. He slapped his bag of holding and threw out an item. Then he picked up the box with the recipe and walked down the stairs.
The old man was startled and subconsciously took a step forward. However, at this moment, a cold light flashed from Wang Lin's straw hat.
The old man's heart trembled and his nascent soul almost dissipated. He took three steps back and didn't dare to stop Wang Lin. He let Wang Lin walk down the stairs.
The middle aged man caught the item Wang Lin threw at him. After taking one look, his body trembled and he revealed a look of disbelief.
"This is … half a top quality spirit stone … According to Wang Lin's understanding, the price of a rank 5 pill recipe is about the same as half a top quality spirit stone. Also, Wang Lin didn't give half a top quality spirit stone, but a quarter of it.
In the past few days, a person wearing a straw hat would come to most of the shops in the Sea of Devils to 'buy pill recipes'.
At the beginning, the prices given by the shops were fair, but as time went on, the prices became more and more outrageous. In the end, the prices were sky high. However, when a shop couldn't make a deal and was about to sell it, it was destroyed.
From then on, the rumor that the person wearing the straw hat was a Soul Formation cultivator quickly spread. This was very beneficial to Wang Lin. At the very least, it would be easier for him to buy pill recipes than before.
In ten days of time, Wang Lin arrived at the border of the Sea of Devils and Chu with the help of a transfer array. In these ten days, he bought a total of eight rank 5 pill recipes.
"If Wan Er sees these pill recipes, she will definitely be very happy."
Wang Lin let out a smile. After entering Chu, he no longer hid his appearance and took off the straw hat.
However, just as Wang Lin entered the border of Chu, his expression suddenly changed. His eyes became cold as he looked toward the direction of the Cloud Sky Sect and said, "You're courting death!" Then his body flashed and disappeared.
"Zhan Kong" was a name. In the rank 5 cultivation country of Bi Sheng, this name represented slaughter and blood.
As a genius disciple of the Demonic Insect Sect in Pilu, he cultivated until he reached the late stage of Nascent Soul. However, for some reason, he stole the Demonic Insect Sect's scripture and betrayed the sect.
Under the Demonic Insect Sect's pursuit, this person managed to escape again and again. Although he was seriously injured, he killed many of his fellow sect members who chased him.
In the end, under the pursuit of a Soul Formation cultivator, Zhan Kong escaped to the Nine Underworlds. There, he finally escaped the pursuit of a Soul Formation cultivator, and he lived there for over a hundred years.
No one knew how he survived those 100 years. They only knew that after 100 years, he was at the Soul Formation stage. What was even more terrifying was that he had tamed countless poisonous insects.
The moment he came out, he charged toward the Demonic Insect Sect. When he attacked, there were countless poisonous insects around him that formed a black cloud. Even early stage Soul Formation cultivators died to him.
He clearly knew that there were mid stage and even late stage Soul Formation cultivators in the Demonic Insect Sect, but he still came to kill them. This showed how arrogant he was.
In the end, this person was chased again. This time, the one chasing him was a mid stage Deity Transformation cultivator. This person lured this senior of his sect into the Nine Hells Wilderness, and from then on, the two of them disappeared without a trace.
30 years later, Zhan Bai came out of the Nine Ghost Savage Land again. Although he was still at the early stage of Soul Formation, there was no news of his sect elder.
This person seemed to have given up on getting revenge on the Demonic Insect Sect and left the country. He left behind a series of infamy, and the number of cultivators that died by his hand was countless.
Even mid stage Soul Formation cultivators would have a headache dealing with this person. This person seemed to have cultivated a spell that gave him an immortal body. Every time it looked like he was killed, it was only one of his insect bodies.
In the end, this person obtained a Rain Cauldron and became one of the candidates to enter the Celestial Realm.
In the Celestial Realm, he ran amuck, but in the end, he failed to frame Wang Lin and met someone he couldn't afford to offend. That was why he lost several of his avatars and returned to Suzaku.
It could be said that he was the first person out of the six people from Suzaku to return.
When he was teleported by the Return Cauldron, he was shifted like Wang Lin. However, compared to Wang Lin, who was teleported to another planet, he was luckier. Although he wasn't teleported back to his original location, he was still on Suzaku.
However, he was still in the Sea of Devils.
In the Sea of Devils, Zhan Bai lost too many insects during his trip to the Celestial Realm, so he went on a killing spree. Almost all the cultivators he encountered died by his hand.
The insects he raised absorbed the essence blood of many cultivators and began to reproduce. Zhan Bai traveled all the way to the country of Chu.
The reason why they destroyed so many sects was because they wanted the bugs to obtain more flesh and blood. The blood of mortals was naturally not enough to satisfy the bugs' needs. Therefore, the cultivators of the Chu Country faced this calamity.
When the messenger from the Giant Demon Clan saw this person arrive, he immediately complained in his heart. Although he was also at the Soul Formation stage, he didn't reach this stage with his own comprehension. Instead, he absorbed the comprehension of others. In terms of strength, he could easily bully Nascent Soul cultivators, but if he met someone as powerful as Zhan Bai, he wouldn't be able to resist.
Zhan Bai stood on top of a tall mountain. He was surrounded by a dense cloud of insects. His eyes were filled with bloodlust as he stared at a sect in the distance.
"The Cloud Sky Sect … This sect is the number one sect in the country of Chu. They specialize in alchemy. Hmph, after today, all of these pills will be mine. I heard from the other sects that the Cloud Sky Sect's sect master is a beauty. I want to see how beautiful she is after she is parasitized by my insects." Zhan Bai's body moved and he flew toward the Cloud Sky Sect.
Waves of insect cries could be heard, covering the sky and covering the earth, the momentum was astonishing.
"A few days ago, I fed a late stage Nascent Soul junior of the Cloud Sky Sect to insects. Before that junior died, he said that Wang Lin wouldn't let me go. What a joke. Who is this Wang Lin? How come I've never heard of him? Also, Chu is only a rank 3 cultivation country, so it's impossible for them to have a Soul Formation cultivator. This Wang Lin is probably just a powerful late stage Nascent Soul cultivator. I'll kill every junior I see. Hmph, even if they are Soul Formation cultivators, I, Zhan Bai, have killed many!"
"After I destroy this country of Chu, I'll slaughter my way back to the Nine Hell Wasteland. This time, I must give birth to a king insect. Once the king insect enters my body, my domain will reach the mid stage of Soul Formation!
Ceng Niu, at that time, I want to see if you can beat me! "Zhan Bai sneered.
From Zhan Bai's point of view, his trip to the Celestial Realm was a humiliation. Ceng Niu was originally a nobody, but when he was forced to kill him, he didn't care at all. If that wasn't the case, he could have teamed up with Ceng Niu to kill that person.
"I didn't expect this Ceng Niu to be able to cut off one of Red Butterfly's arms. In Suzaku, this person's name has spread far and wide. Hmph, all of this should have been mine. Ceng Niu, sooner or later, we will have a battle!" Zhan Bai sneered, but then he frowned and muttered to himself:
"This Ceng Niu's Thunder Frog has an innate ability to suppress my insects. This will be a bit difficult."
His eyes lit up and he made up his mind that no matter what, he had to go deeper into the Nine Hell Wasteland to get the king insect. Once the king insect is born, even the Thunder Frog will lose its effect.
"Before that, it is best if I don't provoke this Ceng Niu. Since he was able to cut off Red Butterfly's arm, his cultivation level must be higher than the early stage of Soul Formation.
However, this Suzaku is too big. Even if I want to provoke it, it will be very difficult. "Zhan Bai let out a snort as he quickly arrived outside the Cloud Sky Sect.
The Cloud Sky Sect was surrounded by white clouds. These white clouds weren't naturally formed; they were the sect's protective formation. Not only could they protect the sect, but they could also hide what was inside.
Zhan Bai floated in the air as he stared at the Cloud Sky Sect's white clouds for a while. He let out a smile of contempt and shouted, "Listen up, juniors of the Cloud Sky Sect. Open the protective formation and send out the pills. Also, your sect master, come out and greet us personally!"
The Cloud Sky Sect was completely silent. After a while, a gentle voice came through. This voice was very weak, but it contained a sense of determination.
"Senior is a Soul Formation cultivator, so why make it difficult for a small country like us? If you have any requests for pills, please tell us. The Cloud Sky Sect will do our best to satisfy senior's request."
Zhan Bai revealed a look of ridicule and said, "Oh?
I presume you are the sect master of the Cloud Sky Sect? "
"Junior is the sect master of the Cloud Sky Sect. I hope senior won't make it difficult for our small Cloud Sky Sect …" Li Muwan's voice slowly came through. It was still as beautiful as before, but it was filled with a sense of weakness.
Zhan Bai let out a snort and said, "I want to see what the beautiful sect master of the Cloud Sky Sect looks like." With that, he reached out his right hand toward the white clouds in the air and mercilessly grabbed them.
After a series of crackling sounds, the white clouds immediately collapsed. However, after collapsing, they quickly reformed.
"What's this?
There was something magical about this formation.
It couldn't have been placed by your Cloud Sky Sect, right? "
Zhan Bai's eyes lit up. Li Muwan let out a sigh and said, "Senior, this formation was personally placed by the Giant Demon Clan to protect the Cloud Sky Sect. I hope senior will give face to the Giant Demon Clan and not make it difficult for us."
"Giant Demon Clan …" Zhan Bai pondered for a bit. His eyes lit up and he waved his right hand. All of the surrounding insects let out a buzzing sound and charged toward the white clouds.
Waves of crackling sounds came from the white clouds. The sound became louder and louder until it covered up the buzzing of the insects.
"So what if it's the Giant Demon Clan? Even if Chi Hu personally came, he wouldn't become hostile with me for a mere Cloud Sky Sect." Zhan Bai sneered and his right hand reached out again.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the white clouds collapsed along with all of the surrounding clouds. A ring of ripples suddenly spread out. In the center of the ripples, there was a flash of light and the ripples disappeared.
As the white clouds disappeared, a magnificent group of spirit stone pavilions appeared before Zhan Bai.
Looking at the endless spirit stone pavilions that seemed to have no end, Zhan Bai couldn't help but take a deep breath. His eyes widened, and after a long time, he laughed. "This White Cloud Sect is too rich to be built with spirit stones. Although this scale is far inferior to the Celestial Realm, there aren't many like this on planet Suzaku. Haha, after today, this place belongs to me, Zhan Bai!"
The sect protection formation was easily destroyed by someone. Everyone in the Cloud Sky Sect revealed expressions of despair.
Zhan Bai took a step with his right foot and entered the Cloud Sky Sect. The area within a few hundred feet of him was filled with black insects. Some of the low level female disciples of the Cloud Sky Sect were so scared that they started crying.
Zhan Bai's right hand reached out and a few disciples of the Cloud Sky Sect were grabbed by an invisible hand. A portion of the insect cloud split off and charged toward the disciples. Miserable screams could be heard as the disciples were covered in insects. Some of the insects even drilled into their bodies.
When these miserable screams entered the ears of everyone in the Cloud Sky Sect, it was as if their hearts were being torn apart.
"Stop!!"
Li Muwan's body floated into the air. There were a few people standing beside her. They all had ugly expressions as they stared at Zhan Bai.
Zhan Bai let out a mischievous smile and waved his right hand. The miserable screams of those disciples became even louder. In the blink of an eye, insects drilled out of their bodies. Those disciples' bodies immediately withered until they were no different from skeletons and they fell from the sky.
Li Muwan's face was pale as she stared dumbfoundedly at the disciples. Blood came out from the corner of her mouth and her body trembled. When she raised her head, her gaze toward Zhan Bai was filled with hatred.
It was very rare for someone with her personality to look at someone like that.
Zhan Bai's gaze swept the area and landed on Li Muwan. He said, "Not bad, you are indeed pretty. What is your name?"
Li Muwan silently pondered.
"Oh?
Not going to say it?
That's easy! "
Zhan Bai let out a smile and waved his right hand. Suddenly, all of the insects around him spread out and surrounded the entire Cloud Sky Sect.
All Zhan Bai needed to do was wave his hand and these insects would attack. Whenever they encountered a living thing, they would devour it. Although these insects were only the size of a thumb, their eyes were filled with bloodlust.
If one looked closely, they would notice that Zhan Bai's eyes were no different from these insects.
"Stop … My name is Li Muwan …" A sense of humiliation appeared in Li Muwan's heart. She had no choice. She couldn't just watch as the Cloud Sky Sect's disciples died.
Although she had started to disperse the disciples a few days ago, there were still a few people who stayed. The reason these people stayed was because the Cloud Sky Sect was their home. For their home, they were willing to fight. Even if they died, they wouldn't regret it.
Even Liu Fei, Song Qing, and the two late stage Nascent Soul head elders all chose to stay.
"Senior, if you have any requests, please speak!"
A white-haired late-stage Nascent Soul Grand Elder stepped forward, shielding Li Muwan behind him as he looked at Zhan Bai.
Zhan Bai's eyes lit up. He stared at the old man and said with contempt:
"Request?
My request is very simple. Kill all of you, take away the pills, and seal this place into my bedroom … As for you, your name is Li Muwan, right? Not bad, Chang Zisao is quite pretty, so you can be my maid. "
"You're going too far!"
Roared an early stage Nascent Soul old woman next to Li Muwan. The reason she was able to reach the Nascent Soul stage was because of Li Muwan. She was so angry that she ignored the difference in their cultivation levels and glared at Zhan Bai.
Zhan Bai's eyes darkened. The bloodlust in his eyes became even stronger and he said, "It looks like I was too kind. Fine, Cloud Sky Sect, destroy!"
With that, he waved his right hand and the surrounding insects began to howl. They spread out and charged at everyone.
As for the old woman, she was surrounded by countless insects as Zhan Bai waved his hand. She screamed and even her Nascent Soul was devoured alive.
This scene caused everyone's hearts to tremble.
Miserable screams filled the entire Cloud Sky Sect. Li Muwan let out a miserable smile. Her body trembled as she coughed out more blood and bit her lower lip.
Even the elders around her were being attacked by countless insects. They struggled to resist, but only two of the late Nascent Soul stage elders were able to resist for a while. The rest of them were at a disadvantage and were in danger.
These insects were very strange; no magic treasures or spells seemed to have any effect on them.
At this moment, aside from Li Muwan, everyone else in the Cloud Sky Sect was fighting with the insects.
Li Muwan bit her lower lip. Her eyes were filled with despair.
Zhan Bai looked at Li Muwan with interest. He rubbed his chin and said, "To be honest, after destroying so many sects, you are the fourth female sect master. Not bad. Although your cultivation level isn't high enough, you are suitable to be a parasite for my child insects."
As he spoke, he pointed with his right hand and a drop of blood flew out from his fingertip. The drop of blood turned into a red insect and pounced toward Li Muwan.
However, as the insect charged at Bai Zhongshun, a cloud of black mist came out from between Li Muwan's eyebrows. The black mist turned into the shape of a small beast and swallowed the blood insect with one breath.
Ear-piercing screams came from the blood insect. Slowly, the screams disappeared. The small beast's eyes were gloomy as it floated before Li Muwan and viciously stared at Zhan Bai.
Zhan Bai was surprised. He looked at the small beast and said, "Spirit beast …"
Li Muwan pondered. She looked into the distance and softly said, "Big brother Wang, let's meet again in the next life …" "Big brother Wang?
Haha, is that Wang something Lin? "
Zhan Bai let out a laugh. After coming to Chu, he had heard the name Wang Lin many times. He even heard this name from some of the people who died in the destroyed sects.
"Your country of Chu is really strange. This Wang Lin seems to be very famous. Who exactly is he?"
Zhan Bai let out a laugh. His laugh was extremely arrogant. His eyes lit up and he said with contempt, "Right now, I really want to know who this Wang Lin is.
Also, I'm very curious. With your cultivation level, how did you make these Nascent Soul cultivators willing to live and die with you? "
A cold voice came from behind Zhan Bai. "Because she is my woman. I am Wang Lin!"
Today is 3 am, there will be more in a bit.
