I can't avoid the cycle of reincarnation, and time won't wait for me. When will you take me away … In my left hand is a short amount of karma outside the Sea of Devils, and in my right hand is a long time of loneliness … Li Muwan was quietly lying on the bed. She was wearing a white robe. Although her face was old, her eyes were still bright. She quietly looked at the man before her. One look, one look … She wanted to engrave this person's appearance in her heart forever.
She couldn't tell if this man before her was a mortal's love. She only knew that this figure would often appear in her mind when she listened to the zither music for 100 years.
Wang Lin held Li Muwan's hand. His eyes were filled with gentleness. Although his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife and his heart was bleeding, his face was still filled with gentleness.
Li Muwan looked outside the window and softly said, "Wang Lin, last night I dreamt of my big brother. He was smiling at me, and behind him, I saw two very familiar old people. They looked like my parents …"
Li Muwan's parents died a long time ago. It was her big brother who raised her.
Wang Lin's heart hurt even more.
That night, Wang Lin stood outside the stone house. He looked at the country of Zhao and silently called out in his heart.
Within the borders of the State of Zhao, deep underground in the Heng Yue Mountain Range, a red-haired man with a cold face suddenly opened his eyes while sitting cross-legged.
The moment he opened his eyes, the entire country of Zhao rumbled like thunder. It was as if a demon had been born, and all the cultivators were shocked.
The eyes of the original body were filled with coldness and ruthlessness. Two purple stars were flashing between his eyebrows. His body was covered in purple lightning.
He gently turned his head. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the earth as he looked toward the country of Chu.
He slowly stood up, tore open the ground in front of him, and walked toward the country of Chu from underground.
Time quickly passed. Soon, half a year had passed.
Li Muwan's body grew weaker, and her soul was on the verge of collapse. The Heaven-Dao Cycle of Reincarnation continued to emit a gravitational force, as if it were trying to take her away from Wang Lin.
On this day, Ouyang Zi handed a fiery-red pill to Wang Lin with an unconcealable look of excitement on his face.
"I, Ouyang Zi, have concocted a grade-six spirit pill!" As soon as he finished speaking, his Limit Mind went dark, and he collapsed to the ground.
He was not dead, but his mind was haggard.
Holding the pill, Wang Lin stared blankly at Li Muwan, who was on the verge of death. Her hair was all white, and she looked like an old woman. On her face, the beauty of the past was no longer there. Instead, it was replaced by the vicissitudes of life.
During these years, Wang Lin watched as Li Muwan aged bit by bit, her beauty withered, and the world turned into mulberry fields.
The dust of her past life, the soil of her present life, and the endless sorrow filled the ocean in her heart. However, this ocean was too deep, this ocean was too big. In the end, the ocean turned into tears. Everything was vast, and there were only two of them.
He walked the path of defying the heavens, cultivating the Dao of Reincarnation. His life was full of twists and turns, and his body was filled with exhaustion. However, he still had faith in his heart. At this moment, although his appearance didn't change, his heart became more and more vicissitudes as the woman in front of him aged.
In his eyes, the old appearance of the woman in front of him was just an illusion. In his heart, this woman's appearance was still the same as when he was outside the Sea of Devils, when she was playing the zither in a pavilion in Chu, when she was watching him disappear into the distance.
Wang Lin gently touched Li Muwan's face and slowly placed the pill in his hand into her mouth. The moment the pill entered her mouth, Li Muwan's face turned red.
In an instant, the boundless Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth from all over the Chu Country began to crazily gather and enter Li Muwan's body.
The stone room couldn't withstand this powerful spiritual energy and began to emit cracking sounds. When the wind blew by, it turned into dust and disappeared.
Lu Fei and Tie Yan awakened from their closed eyes. Their expressions immediately changed. At this moment, Ouyang Zi's body was pushed out by a gentle force and landed next to Lu Fei and Tie Yan.
"Take Ouyang Zi and wait for me at the Cloud Sky Sect!" Wang Lin's voice slowly came.
Tie Yan didn't say a word. He grabbed Ouyang Zi and quickly flew off with Lu Fei. It wasn't until they were more than 50 kilometers away that they turned around and took a deep look behind them.
Although the stone room was destroyed, Li Muwan's body was still floating in the air. Endless spiritual energy entered her body, causing her face to turn red. Gradually, a dim golden core appeared in her dantian.
The moment the golden core appeared, all the spiritual energy rushed into it like crazy.
Wang Lin's hand formed a seal. One by one, the seals landed on the golden core.
His expression was extremely serious. Slowly, the seals became faster and faster and cracks appeared on the golden core.
A rank 6 Origin Returning Pill could increase the absorption rate of spiritual energy in a short period of time, allowing the user to break through a bottleneck.
However, Li Muwan's body was too weak. Her lifespan was almost up, so it was very difficult for her to endure the power of the reincarnation cycle.
Wang Lin's body moved and floated in the air. He didn't look at Li Muwan, but looked up at the sky. His expression was filled with determination.
His biggest enemy was the heavens and the reincarnation cycle.
As the spiritual energy entered Li Muwan's golden core, more cracks appeared on it. Gradually, rays of golden light were emitted from the cracks. Although the golden light was bright, it was not dazzling. Instead, it gave off a gentle feeling.
However, at that moment, a layer of gray appeared on Li Muwan's body. The gray became thicker, and in an instant, it covered her entire body.
Wang Lin's Life and Death Intent had already covered Li Muwan's body. However, compared to the gray, it was insignificant.
Mortals couldn't see the gray. Even cultivators couldn't see it. Wang Lin's Life and Death Intent was derived from the reincarnation cycle, so he was the only one who could clearly see the gray Qi.
He was also the only one who knew what the gray Qi was!
The gray Qi was the Heavenly Dao, the reincarnation cycle, and the appearance of a person before death.
Li Muwan's eyes were filled with reluctance. She looked longingly at Wang Lin, then at her surroundings. She let out a sigh and slowly closed her eyes.
A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.
Tears slowly fell and fell to the ground, making a soft sound.
When this sound entered Wang Lin's ears, it was as if he was hearing the collapse of his previous life … He didn't know if the place where the tear fell would be filled with memories and sorrow in the next year … The moment she passed away, the golden core's color immediately darkened, but the cracks on it immediately shattered. A small person that looked exactly like Li Muwan appeared. The moment she opened her pure eyes, they immediately closed after Li Muwan died.
Wang Lin, I'm willing to give up everything. Even if the stars in the sky fall, as long as I can have you by my side, your eyes will be the brightest light in my heart.
Wang Lin, I'm willing to give up everything. Even if the reincarnation cycle of my previous life and this life extinguishes my soul, it won't stop me from being reluctant to part with you.
Wang Lin, I'm willing to lose everything. Even if my life passes away, even if the years return to silence, I only hope that the flower of memories will never wither.
Wang Lin, this is our karma. This is the Heavenly Dao's choice. In the end, we are still struggling under the Heavenly Dao, like water and ink.
"Even if the Heavens want you to die, I'll take you back!!!"
Wang Lin's eyes were filled with sorrow. He suddenly raised his head and his eyes were filled with determination. Suddenly, the Life and Death Domain crazily surged out from his body.
In the sky outside the valley, the Life and Death Reincarnation Scroll appeared once again. A landscape painting with only two colors, black and white, slowly unfolded.
It was as if a giant, invisible hand was waving and ripples appeared on the painting.
The moment the landscape painting appeared, a thunderous rumble came from the sky and spread across the entire country of Chu.
Li Muwan's body quickly turned into bones and fell from the sky, disappearing into the horizon. As for the dead Nascent Soul, it was also slowly dissipating.
However, the moment Wang Lin's Life and Death Reincarnation Scroll covered the sky, the speed at which the Nascent Soul dissipated slowly slowed down.
Wang Lin's body flickered and reappeared in the sky. His right hand grabbed the Life and Death Reincarnation Scroll and pulled it down. Suddenly, the two scrolls descended and wrapped around Li Muwan's Nascent Soul.
At this moment, there was no scroll in the sky, revealing a strange scene. Red clouds churned in the sky, and two rays of light that seemed to be able to see through one's mind came out from the churning red clouds and looked at Wang Lin.
This strange yet familiar presence caused Wang Lin's body to tremble. However, he still raised his head and stood in the sky. Below him was Li Muwan's Nascent Soul wrapped up by the scroll.
At this moment, Wang Lin used his Life and Death Domain and his understanding of the Life and Death Dao to protect Li Muwan's Nascent Soul.
He was going to fight against the Heavens!
"Even if the Heavens want you to die, I'll take you back!!!" This was a promise, and it was also Wang Lin's declaration of war against the Heavens!
As the red clouds filled the sky, the two gazes slowly retreated. However, in the next moment, countless red clouds gathered together, forming a giant hand that seemed capable of supporting the heavens and earth. It descended from the sky, grabbing toward Li Muwan's Nascent Soul, which was wrapped up by the painting of life and death.
Wang Lin let out a roar. His body flickered as he grabbed the life and death scroll and flew off into the distance.
The giant hand seemed to be able to cross the distance and reach for the life and death scroll in Wang Lin's hand!
Wang Lin's eyes flickered as he raised his head to meet the giant hand.
"Bang!"
Wang Lin's Nascent Soul trembled violently. Under the force of the impact, it was knocked back ten feet. However, his Nascent Soul immediately returned to his body. Blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth as he continued to flee. At the same time, his Divine Sense spread out like crazy to search for something.
The giant hand lifted up and the two gazes appeared in the red clouds again. They looked at the scroll in Wang Lin's hand before the giant hand descended again!
"The main body!!" Wang Lin yelled.
… the book comments section has been quite lively lately, but … HAHA, you've all guessed wrong!
In the next moment, the mystery was revealed!
