"Little White, where exactly is Uncle?" Zhou Ru was sitting on Little White's back with a bunch of fruits in her hand.
Little White shook its head and let out a roar in response.
Ever since Zhou Ru woke up one year ago, she hadn't seen Wang Lin again. Only Little White accompanied her.
At this moment, Little White was carrying Zhou Ru through a mountain range. Just at this moment, the ground suddenly trembled. Little White immediately became cautious and retreated several dozen feet.
The trembling became stronger and stronger. Suddenly, a creature that looked like an earthworm but had been magnified countless times came out of the ground. It let out a violent roar and pointed its head at Zhou Ru.
The part of this creature that was exposed above the ground was more than 100 feet long. Its body was completely red and looked like a bamboo joint. It looked extremely terrifying.
There was no fear on Zhou Ru's face. Instead, she was excited. She threw away the fruits in her hand and patted Little White's head. "Little White, you have to look carefully this time. Whether or not you can find Uncle will depend on this."
Little White rolled its eyes and let out a roar as it looked at the giant earthworm.
This thirty-meter-long earthworm's body moved, turning into an afterimage as it whistled through the air. It opened its mouth and ruthlessly charged toward Zhou Ruxiang.
It was extremely fast and brought with it a fishy smell. Its mouth was wide open, and there were countless sharp teeth inside. If one was bitten by it, there would be no bones left.
There was no fear on Zhou Ru's face. Instead, she became more and more excited. She didn't even look at the earthworm and looked up at the sky.
Even Little White didn't retreat. Its tiger eyes revealed a hint of mockery.
Just as the giant earthworm closed in, a giant object appeared in the sky. This object let out a buzz and descended from the sky. It moved at an unimaginable speed and arrived before Zhou Ru.
This was a huge mosquito. Its mouthpart filled with a cold glint moved and stabbed the earthworm in a frenzy. With a swing, the earthworm's half-buried body was pulled out by the mosquito beast and thrown into the sky.
At this moment, the mosquito beast moved once more. Its mouth was like a sharp blade, and in a flash, it stabbed deep into the earthworm's head. With one breath, the entire earthworm withered and all of its flesh and essence was sucked out by the mosquito beast.
The mosquito beast flung the earthworm's corpse and it landed on the ground far away. It looked down at Zhou Ru and Xiao Bai before flapping its wings and flying into the sky.
"Little White, chase! Hurry up!" Zhou Ru immediately shouted.
Little White did not hesitate and immediately started running.
The mosquito beast was released by Wang Lin a year ago when he left to protect Zhou Ru.
He didn't want to see Zhou Ru, but he wouldn't leave her alone on this dangerous moonstar.
In the past year, the mosquito beast had saved Zhou Ru countless times. Zhou Ru had been afraid when she first saw it, but now she felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the mosquito beast. It was as if she had seen Wang Lin.
She had no memory of what happened one year ago. She didn't even have any memory of Li Muwan's nascent soul in her body. It was as if it never happened.
This was something Wang Lin erased when he placed her soul back into her body.
Zhou Ru was an innocent child. She shouldn't have to bear the price of Li Muwan's awakening. Wang Lin was not an angry person, so he erased Zhou Ru's memories and gave her a complete life.
However, Wang Lin's heart was still silent about what happened one year ago. He didn't want to face Zhou Ru, so his feelings were very complicated.
Zhou Ru couldn't find her uncle, so she began her journey to find him. The moonstar was too small for Wang Lin, but for Zhou Ru, it was very big.
In the past year, she and Little White traveled more than half of the moonstar. Although they didn't see Wang Lin, Zhou Ru felt that she was getting closer and closer to her uncle.
Unfortunately, Little White's speed was still too slow compared to the mosquito beast. Not long after, the mosquito beast disappeared from the sky. However, Zhou Ru knew that as long as she was in danger, the big mosquito would rush over immediately.
"Hmph, the big mosquito flies really fast. Little White, you're too slow." Zhou Ru looked at the sky angrily.
Little White let out an aggrieved roar. It thought to itself that the big mosquito was flying in the sky. If it ran on the ground, it would be faster.
Just as Zhou Ru was about to continue speaking, a gentle breeze suddenly blew and landed on her body. Zhou Ru was startled. She looked around and said in a low voice, "Little White, don't you think it's strange? It's just that there's this warm breeze every three to five days. Every time it hits my body, I feel warm inside. I won't feel hungry even if I don't eat."
Little White shook its head and let out a roar in response.
Zhou Ru's search continued. She didn't know that at this moment, Wang Lin had withdrawn his divine sense from the top of the cauldron.
In the past year, although he was crazy, he didn't forget about Zhou Ru's safety. Every time his divine sense scanned the cauldron, he would send some spiritual energy into Zhou Ru's body so she wouldn't feel hungry.
Wang Lin looked up at the sky. His eyes were very bright. This kind of light had never appeared in his eyes before. It was the kind of gaze that could see through a person's heart and see through the essence of life and death.
"Life and death domain, so that's how it is … If I want to control anything in this world, I can control it."
Wang Lin waved his right hand and all the clouds in the sky gathered in his hand. In the blink of an eye, a ball of clouds the size of a fist appeared in his palm.
This ball of clouds was filled with lightning.
Feeling the powerful force inside the ball of clouds, Wang Lin took a deep breath.
Although the power inside the ball of clouds couldn't destroy the world, it could destroy all Soul Formation cultivators. Even if Li Yuanfeng, who was at the Soul Transformation stage, were to come back to life, he would die under this ball of clouds.
"My life and death domain has reached completion and my cultivation has broken through to the Soul Formation stage. One step is to reach the Soul Transformation stage. I am already halfway there …" Wang Lin waved his hand and the ball of clouds disappeared.
"Prepare to reach the Soul Transformation stage!" Wang Lin's eyes were calm.
Soul Transformation cultivators were truly powerful cultivators. It could be said that no matter what cultivation planet they were on, a Soul Transformation cultivator would be wooed by many forces.
The Giant Demon Clan ancestor was only at the early stage of Soul Transformation, but he could control an entire clan and become the leader of the clan.
Li Yuanfeng forcefully reached the Soul Transformation stage and became the head of the Xue Yue clan.
This showed the value of a Soul Transformation cultivator.
After all, most Ascendant old monsters spent most of their time in closed door cultivation and rarely showed up. That's why Soul Transformation cultivators were the backbone of a cultivation planet.
In the mortal world, a Soul Transformation cultivator was a top-notch expert that was respected by tens of thousands of people.
Among cultivators, this kind of status could be magnified 100, 1000, or even 10,000 times.
This was a Soul Transformation cultivator.
Even Tian Yunzi didn't think that in a mere 200 years, the little cultivator at the edge of the Soul Formation stage that he had a good impression of would have a chance of reaching the Soul Transformation stage.
If he knew about this now, then Wang Lin wouldn't be going to planet Tian Yun as an honorary disciple for 100 years. He would become a real disciple and would have a certain amount of authority in the Heavenly Fate Sect.
"Situ, after I reach the Soul Transformation stage, I'll have the power to awaken you …" Wang Lin took a deep breath and pointed to between his eyebrows. Shortly after, his body disappeared and he entered the heaven defying bead.
Inside the heaven defying bead, Situ Nan's Nascent Soul floated in the center. Wang Lin appeared there and silently looked at Situ Nan.
After absorbing the two severed arms, Situ Nan's Nascent Soul was no longer translucent; it had become solid and gave off a powerful pressure. This pressure was several times stronger than ancestor Du Tian's.
"Situ …" Wang Lin silently looked at Situ Nan for a long time. With one step, he left this place and appeared in the eastern part of the heaven defying bead.
There was another Nascent Soul here.
However, this Nascent Soul's eyes were closed and it was in a deep sleep. Her body was surrounded by countless drops of spiritual liquid that were constantly fusing with the Nascent Soul and nourishing her body.
"Wan Er …" Wang Lin's eyes revealed a hint of tenderness.
The spiritual liquid surrounding Li Muwan was formed by the dew from the heaven defying bead. In the past year, Wang Lin had finally condensed this liquid. Its existence could repair Li Muwan's Nascent Soul, and as time passed, it could even make Li Muwan's Nascent Soul more condensed.
"Wan Er, you've waited for me for 300 years. I, Wang Lin, have no way to repay you. I will protect you until you wake up, until my soul disappears."
Wang Lin looked at Li Muwan's Nascent Soul for a long time … "If all of this can be exchanged for a miracle, I will wait. I will protect you for one year, ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years … until this life …"
The tenderness in Wang Lin's eyes was still on Li Muwan's Nascent Soul. Scenes of the past kept replaying in his mind.
Memories were like water in the palm. No matter if you opened it or clenched it, it would eventually flow through your fingers, drop by drop.
However, the coolness of the water was unforgettable.
Wang Lin stepped forward and gently kissed the forehead of Li Muwan's Nascent Soul. His warmth was transferred to Wan Er.
Wan Er's body trembled … She felt Wang Lin's lips and felt Wang Lin's warmth. This warmth contained the joy of the past that couldn't be erased, a silent call, and the unchanging protection of the world.
Love was like a river. The left bank was the laughter of thousands of years, the right bank was the eternal silence under the candlelight, and the flow in the middle was the faint loneliness year after year … Wang Lin turned around and left the heaven defying bead. He left, but his heart was placed here, becoming eternal silence.
In the dark night, under the starlight, at the top of the mountain, in the rain and wind, that lonely figure seemed to be blown away by the wind.
It was always the fleeting sorrow that was blown away by the wind. Only the loneliness of a heartless person remained. It was the smoke that couldn't be blown away by the wind.
The lonely figure raised his sharp face and looked at the darkness of the night and the brightness of the stars. There, there was the figure of an eternal woman in his heart.
I'm sorry that Wan Er's matter made everyone sad.
I'm sorry that I've seen all of your words.
I apologize to everyone, I'm sorry.
It was my anchor that made everyone sad. What everyone wanted to see was happiness and perfection. But I wrote about the sadness that made everyone feel tangled in their hearts. It was really too much.
Now I learned my lesson. It was very profound. It was just like when I did something wrong and was severely reprimanded by my boss. I didn't sleep well last night. I tossed and turned in bed.
Retribution, I made you sad, so you made me unable to sleep. I blamed myself for the whole night and struggled for the whole day. Retribution … But speaking of Zhou Ru's brother, I didn't forget Zhou Ru. It was just that I didn't have enough space to write about her yesterday.
