The four of them slowly flew through the outer area of the Sea of Devils and arrived at the former headquarters of the Fighting Evil Sect near Nan Dou City.
Before them was a huge mountain. The top of the mountain had been turned into the shape of a dragon. At first glance, it looked like a giant dragon was coiling around the mountain.
However, this dragon was now incomplete. Not only were there many cracks, but the head of the dragon had been split in half. It was a complete mess.
Li Muwan looked at the dragon from afar and silently pondered.
Wang Lin let out a sigh. When he spread out his divine sense, he found that the former Fighting Evil Sect had become a ruin. There were no cultivators here, only some low rank beasts.
Li Muwan softly said, "Wang Lin, do you remember back then? You brought me here."
Wang Lin nodded and said, "Time has passed. Things remain the same, but people have changed."
"I wonder if the cave from back then is still there …" Li Muwan turned her head and looked in the direction of the cave from back then.
Wang Lin faintly smiled. He put his arm around Li Muwan's waist and disappeared. Lu Fei and Tie Yan quickly followed. Their divine senses were spread out and they were secretly on guard. After all, this was the Sea of Devils, not Chu.
While following Wang Lin and Li Muwan, Lu Fei sighed and said, "Rumor has it that Elder Li lived in the Sea of Devils. It seems like it was true."
Tie Yan said, "I'm afraid this is how the sect master and Elder Li met. Junior apprentice brother Lu, your cultivation level seems to have increased recently."
Lu Fei smiled. "I can only go 1,000 feet in. I'm still far from it."
Tie Yan pondered and didn't say anything. He could only go 500 feet in. He secretly made up his mind that when he returned, he would cultivate as hard as he could.
Wang Lin held Li Muwan and flew across the sky. The sound of them breaking through the air could be heard very far. All the cultivators outside the Sea of Devils were shocked.
It didn't take long for Wang Lin and Li Muwan to arrive at their original cave.
However, it was a pity that the mountain range where the cave was located had disappeared.
"Things remain the same, but people have changed …" Li Muwan's eyes dimmed.
"After hundreds of years, the azure dragon was destroyed, the cave disappeared along with the memories of the past …" The death aura around Li Muwan became even stronger. She bit her lip and whispered to Wang Lin, "Let's go … Wan Er of Hou Fen doesn't want to go anymore. After buying the recipe, let's … let's go home."
Lu Fei and Tie Yan stood at the back, sighing in their hearts, not saying a word.
Wang Lin looked at Li Muwan and whispered, "The cave didn't disappear!"
With that, he waved his right hand and the Soul Formation cultivator's spiritual energy came out of his body. Rumbling sounds came from the sky and at the same time, the ground began to crack inch by inch.
Shortly after, a powerful force appeared as Wang Lin waved his hand. The crack on the ground became larger and larger until it formed a giant bulge that grew taller and taller.
In the blink of an eye, a mountain appeared!
This mountain was exactly the same as the mountain that Wang Lin lived in!
The mountain broke through the ground, causing the ground to tremble. The trembling spread out, alerting all the cultivators in the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers. Some of the cultivators with high cultivation bases immediately flew over.
Gradually, more cultivators arrived, but they didn't dare to move forward. They stood thousands of kilometers away and stared at the mountain in shock.
The mountain rose up from the ground. Wang Lin pointed with two fingers and a cave appeared in the middle of the mountain. Under the control of Wang Lin's divine sense, this cave looked exactly the same as the one from back then.
"Wan Er, the cave didn't disappear!" Wang Lin turned around and looked at Li Muwan.
Li Muwan stared at the cave in a daze. A faint smile appeared on her face. The appearance of this smile diluted the aura of death on her body a bit.
Inside the cave, Li Muwan was like an excited little girl. She kept looking around and pulled Wang Lin over to talk about the past.
Li Muwan smiled and said, "I waited here for you for three years. I didn't expect you to come back with a large group of people following you."
"Also, when you came back that day, you were carrying a dragon. That was a dragon. I always wanted to ask you how you caught it, but your face was so cold that I didn't dare to ask." Li Muwan looked at Wang Lin with a gentle gaze.
Wang Lin rubbed his nose and silently smiled.
After staying in the cave for three days, Li Muwan reluctantly left. Wang Lin's right hand formed a seal and he placed a restriction on the mountain. Then he and Li Muwan flew toward Devil Rebel City.
Wang Lin was very pleased with this trip to the Sea of Devils. The death aura on Li Muwan was no longer as dense as before. Instead, it had lessened a bit.
They used the ancient transfer array and eight days later, Devil Rebel City appeared before their eyes.
After paying spirit stones to enter the city, Lu Fei immediately found an inn for the four of them to stay in.
When Tie Yan was young, he had explored the Sea of Devils for a period of time, so he was more familiar with it than Lu Fei. He was ordered by Wang Lin to go to the Treasure Refining Pavilion. When he returned, he had an invitation in his hand.
"Sect master, the auction is in seven days. This is the invitation." Tie Yan respectfully handed the invitation to Wang Lin.
During these seven days, Wang Lin accompanied Li Muwan everywhere in Devil Rebel City. During these days, Li Muwan was very happy. It could even be said that aside from her carefree life in the Luo He Sect, these days were the happiest.
Seven days later, the Treasure Refining Pavilion's decennial auction began.
In Devil Rebel City's largest three-story pagoda-shaped palace, the first floor was almost full. Many cultivators had come to this place.
When Wang Lin's group of four entered, two Foundation Establishment disciples of the Treasure Refining Pavilion respectfully accepted the invitation and led them into the main hall.
The middle-aged man who served Wang Lin two months ago was also in the main hall. He was talking with a few familiar cultivators when his eyes suddenly lit up. When he saw Wang Lin, his expression immediately changed. He quickly said goodbye to the cultivators next to him and walked forward. When he was three feet away from Wang Lin, he bowed deeply and said, "Senior's presence brings light to our humble abode. Senior, this place is very messy. Please follow me to the third floor."
The people who knew this person were all shocked. It has to be said that this middle-aged man had a high position in the Treasure Refining Pavilion and a bright future ahead of him. He normally wouldn't greet people like this, so this scene was very rare. Everyone's gazes turned toward Wang Lin's group.
With one look, everyone was shocked.
From their point of view, Wang Lin's cultivation level was that of a mortal. He didn't have any spiritual energy, but how could someone who could come here be a mortal?
As for Li Muwan, who was next to Wang Lin, she was at the late stage of Core Formation and her body was very weak.
What truly shocked everyone was actually Lu Fei and Tie Yan!
Late stage Nascent Soul cultivators!
Even in the Sea of Devils, late stage Nascent Soul cultivators were rare. At the very least, there were less than five people in the main hall who had reached this level.
These kinds of cultivators were people who could shake the entire Sea of Devils with just a stomp of their feet.
If that was all there was to it, then it wouldn't be a big deal. However, based on the way these two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators stood, it was obvious that they were the subordinates of the seemingly mortal young man. As such, how could everyone not be shocked?
Adding on the middle-aged man's politeness, this young man's status in everyone's eyes rose several levels.
Under the careful guidance of the middle-aged man, Wang Lin's group went to the third floor. There were only three rooms on the third floor, and they were all very luxurious. At this moment, the other two rooms were already occupied. Wang Lin's group sat down in the room on the right.
The middle-aged man accompanied them for a while. When he saw Wang Lin's impatient expression, he quickly got up and left.
When he walked out of the room, his back was already soaked in sweat. He took a deep breath and quickly left.
After Wang Lin left, he asked the old man who followed him in detail. The old man's cultivation level was at the late stage of Nascent Soul, but he was scared away by one look from Wang Lin. Aside from the legendary Soul Formation stage, the middle-aged man couldn't think of any other explanation.
Soul Formation cultivators were existences that no one in the Sea of Devils dared to provoke.
It was because of a Soul Formation cultivator that the Treasure Refining Pavilion was able to gain a foothold in the Sea of Devils and develop to its current scale.
When he saw Wang Lin for the first time, he didn't hesitate to put down his status. He thought to himself that his status was not enough to enter Wang Lin's eyes.
He quickly went downstairs and stopped outside a room on the second floor. He whispered, "Disciple Xu Luo has an important matter to pass on to the ancestor."
"Come in!"
A soft and pleasant voice came from the private room.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and walked in.
After a long time, he walked out of the room and his expression returned to normal. He went down to the first floor and began to chat with the cultivators he was on good terms with. However, these people intentionally or unintentionally asked about Wang Lin's group, but the middle-aged man avoided them every time. He just smiled and didn't answer.
At that moment, in a plain tens of thousands of miles away from Devil Rebel City, there was a cave dwelling. A white-haired old man was sitting cross-legged in meditation. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and pointed at the void with his right hand. Suddenly, an illusory image appeared in front of him. The image slowly solidified and turned into a beautiful girl.
The girl's appearance was extremely alluring, and there was a rare hint of inner charm about her. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she was very charming.
After the girl respectfully said a few words, she bowed toward the old man and the shadow disappeared.
"A suspected Soul Formation cultivator?" The white-haired old man was surprised. His eyes lit up and he disappeared.
This person was the old man riding the turtle beast that Wang Lin met when he was at the Core Formation stage. He was also the person Wang Lin met when he returned to the Land of the Ancient God the second time.
