Wang Lin flew all the way until he arrived next to the pagoda. His body fell to the ground and his original body separated from his body. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and sat down to cultivate.
After a long time, Wang Lin opened his eyes and immediately sat down. He took out some pills and began to adjust his spiritual energy.
Three days later, he and his original body opened their eyes at the same time.
"My injuries this time are too serious. I must go into closed door cultivation to recover!"
Wang Lin thought to himself. The messenger created by the heavenly reincarnation cycle didn't kill anyone aside from the last attack. This was because this thing had no emotions and everything was done according to the rules.
"With how much Wan Er's nascent soul has dissipated, it will take about 19 years for her to regain her consciousness and awaken. Once her nascent soul awakens, the heavenly reincarnation cycle will descend once more and destroy anyone who tries to hide from the heavenly dao." Wang Lin looked up at the sky and his eyes were filled with sharpness.
Wang Lin stood up. At this moment, his original body didn't say a word and immediately flew toward the giant pit where the battle took place. In the blink of an eye, he arrived there and his original body immediately sank down. As he sank, the pit was immediately filled with dirt and returned to its original state.
Thousands of kilometers below, his original body sat in the lotus position and closed his eyes. Two purple stars slowly rotated between his eyebrows. A purple light came from his body and formed a purple light screen around him. From afar, it looked like a ball of light.
The original body's injuries were much more serious than Wang Lin's, especially the last attack. His original body had absorbed 70% of it. However, with his original body's strength, these injuries weren't fatal. However, he couldn't avoid going into closed door cultivation.
Wang Lin took a deep breath and slapped his bag of holding. He took out a piece of jade and left a message inside. He threw the jade into the air and it turned into a ray of light before disappearing.
After doing all of this, Wang Lin walked next to the pagoda and sat down in the lotus position. He spread out a sliver of the Zhou Yi's divine sense inside the pagoda. In an instant, unless one was an Ascendant cultivator, no other cultivator could enter.
Just like that, Wang Lin closed his eyes and silently healed himself.
During the day, the dazzling sunlight shone on Wang Lin's body, bringing him a trace of warmth.
At night, the moonlight also came quietly, but it brought with it a wisp of coldness.
On a rainy day, the rain fell from the sky and landed on Wang Lin's body, drenching his clothes. In the blink of an eye, his clothes were completely drenched.
Snowflakes slowly floated down from the sky. After a long time, everything was white. However, there was now a snowman beside the pagoda.
Day and night, wind and rain, Wang Lin's body remained motionless. He was like an old monk who had returned to silence, without any signs of life or change in his body.
Six months after the battle against the heavens, on a warm spring day, the Zhou family in Apricot Blossom Village gave birth to a baby girl. Her name was Zhou Ru.
The moment this baby girl was born, she came crying. No one knew that this cry was different from a normal baby's cry.
The baby girl's body was very weak. Luckily, the Zhou family was quite famous in Apricot Blossom Village. They also owned a general store, so their life was much better than the other neighbors.
On a small mountain 50 kilometers away from Apricot Blossom Village, there was a cave. Tie Yan had been cultivating here for six months. Six months ago, he and Lu Fei received a message from Wang Lin. Wang Lin asked one of them to come and protect Li Muwan until he came out of closed door cultivation.
After the two of them discussed it, Tie Yan came. His divine sense was locked onto Apricot Blossom Village and he silently guarded it.
Wang Lin's healing continued. The snow outside the pagoda had turned into water and sunk into the ground.
His original body was thousands of kilometers underground. In the past six months, his body had sunk three times. Every time he sank, he would sink thousands of kilometers.
At this moment, his original body had sunk one-fifth of the way into the earth's core.
The saying that ancient gods grew through battle was not false. His original body's strength showed signs of breaking through. Although it was still slow, it had reached the peak of two stars. The third transformation was not far away.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. Zhou Ru in the Apricot Blossom Village was already one year old. Although other children could not speak at this age, they could still make sounds. However, Zhou Ru always kept her mouth shut and never made a sound.
Therefore, the people in the village started to spread rumors that this girl was mute.
Today, at the border of the Chu Country, a group of people walked out from an ordinary teleportation array. Among these people, there were both men and women. Among them, the most conspicuous one was a woman with a white veil over her face. Her figure was gentle and beautiful, and although there was a hint of exhaustion in her eyes, her eyes were as bright as the stars, causing people to be intoxicated.
Behind her, there was an old man. The old man was wearing a green robe, and his eyes were dim and dull. He looked like a sick Zhou5.
If Wang Lin was here, he would recognize this master and servant as the people who bought the rank 6 pill recipe outside Devil Rebel City.
Beside them was a white-haired old man. This person was the Soul Formation cultivator from the Treasure Refining Pavilion.
Behind him were three people. One of them was someone Wang Lin was familiar with, Qiu Siping.
The other two people were Xu Luo and an extremely charming young girl. This young girl was the one who had sent the purple jade slip back then.
After the six of them walked out of the transfer array, the white-haired old man looked north and said, "This country of Chu might not be the best way to enter the Immortal Graveyard, but it is more convenient than Zhou Kuang's."
The white-veiled woman nodded and respectfully said, "What senior said is correct. Although entering the Immortal Graveyard from the country of Chu is far, there are no checkpoints. It is much more convenient than going to Later Zhou."
Old Man Hu's body moved and flew forward. Everyone hurriedly followed.
Qiu Siping sighed in his heart. Back then, after Wang Lin left, he thought for a long time and made up his mind to follow old man Hu, hoping that one day he could reach the Soul Formation stage.
In these past 10 years, his cultivation level was indeed higher than before, but he still had no hope of reaching the Soul Formation stage. This trip to the Immortal Graveyard was to obtain that item. He believed that reaching the Soul Formation stage was just a dream.
The white-veiled woman let out a sigh as she flew. In these past 10 years, she had searched for many Soul Formation cultivators, but she had never found any. Finally, she found old man Hu from the Treasure Refining Pavilion. She clenched her teeth and told him some secrets that she hadn't told Wang Lin. Only then did Ying Xin agree to go to the Immortal Graveyard.
The six of them flew toward the north. Along the way, they passed by several sects, but no one stopped them.
"This country of Chu hasn't seen the Old Man for 100 years, but a lot has changed." Old man Hu was surprised.
Xu Luo, who was behind him, respectfully said, "Ancestor, in recent years, the Cloud Sky Sect's power has increased greatly. They have already absorbed several other sects and are now one of the top six sects in Chu."
Old man Hu nodded and said, "This Cloud Sky Sect specializes in alchemy. To have the power to absorb other sects, they must have a lot of Nascent Soul cultivators. After we return from the Immortal Graveyard, remember to send someone to the Cloud Sky Sect to ask for some pills."
Xu Luo faintly smiled and nodded. In his view, the Cloud Sky Sect would immediately hand over the pills in exchange for peace.
While the six of them were flying, a pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky. From where they were, this pillar of light was about the size of a baby's arm. However, it has to be said that they were very far away from the pillar of light. If they were to get closer, the pillar of light would be countless times larger.
Old man Hu suddenly turned around and looked at the pillar of light. Even with his mental fortitude, he was shocked.
The old man behind the white-veiled woman's dim eyes lit up and revealed a hint of shock as he looked at the pillar of light.
The pillar of light was at the center of Chu, where the sky was connected to the earth.
"Is this the arrival of a messenger from a higher cultivation country?
Even if a messenger from a higher cultivation country came, it wouldn't be this powerful! "The more the old man looked, the more shocked he became.
Following this, a few golden dragons appeared around the beam, roaring and dancing in the air. Following this, a young man wearing a white robe slowly appeared from the beam.
The moment he appeared, the golden dragons let out a roar. Even with how far away the six of them were, they could clearly hear the roar.
Shortly after, all of the golden dragons charged at the young man in white. The moment they collided with him, they turned into golden dragon tattoos and imprinted themselves on the young man's clothes.
"Messenger from the country of Rosefinch!!!"
Old man Hu's face was filled with fear. He immediately realized that something big must have happened in Chu. Otherwise, how could a mere rank 3 cultivation country let a messenger from the country of Rosefinch come?
The white-veiled woman's eyes revealed a hint of panic. At this moment, the old man behind her casually took a step forward and stood before the woman.
The panic in the woman's eyes disappeared in an instant, but her jade-like hands were tightly clenched and were covered in sweat.
Qiu Siping, Xu Luo, and the beautiful girl were all shocked, especially Qiu Siping. He stared dumbfoundedly at the pillar of light and muttered, "This is the first time I've seen someone from the country of Rosefinch … the country of Rosefinch …" The girl took a deep breath and softly asked, "Ancestor, why did this messenger from the country of Rosefinch come to Chu?"
"Fellow cultivator Gongsun, what do you think?" Old man Hu turned to look at the white-veiled woman's servant, the old man wearing a green robe.
The old man slowly said, "Fellow cultivator Hu, I've just entered the Soul Formation stage, so I don't know much about the country of Rosefinch. However, I believe that for a messenger from the country of Rosefinch to come to Chu, something big that you don't know about is about to happen."
Old man Hu secretly thought, "Nonsense!" His gaze turned toward the pillar of light.
At that moment, the pillar of light gradually dissipated. However, the white-clothed young man within it was still flying toward the six of them like a meteor.
The white-veiled woman's body trembled. Her eyes were filled with panic.
This scene was immediately seen by old man Hu. His expression did not change, but his heart was filled with doubt.
