At this moment, it wasn't that his cultivation had suppressed the coldness of this place or the 100,000 year old ice and snow. The reason for all of this was the coldness in Wang Lin's heart!
The coldness in his heart wouldn't melt, and an unyielding will surrounded his body. This was the state of the heart questioning.
If my heart is cold, then all the coldness in the world can't freeze me for half a breath!
Wang Lin's eyes were cold and the aura he gave off was cold. He no longer looked like a normal person, but an ancient piece of ice that hadn't melted for a long time.
At the top of the mountain, on top of the pagoda, Tian Yunzi silently looked at Wang Lin, who was walking toward him step by step. Tian Yunzi's eyes shined brightly as he stared at Wang Lin and silently pondered.
Originally, Tian Yunzi thought that Wang Lin would only be able to take 10 steps in the Land of Broken Celestial. Taking 10 steps was the limit of a mid stage Soul Transformation cultivator!
If he could do this, he would summon Wang Lin and teach him a forbidden spell.
However, Wang Lin had already taken 21 steps, which was the limit of the Soul Transformation stage. Only the celestial spiritual energy of an Ascendant cultivator could ensure that his origin soul wouldn't freeze and collapse after taking 21 steps.
Even with Tian Yunzi's mental fortitude, he couldn't help but feel a hint of shock.
"The state of the heart questioning … This child is actually questioning his heart here!
Celestial, true cultivation, and dao cultivation. This child seems to have gained some understanding of the meaning of dao … His heart is cold, but nothing can affect his heart. He borrowed this state to take 21 steps. Wang Lin, your teacher has underestimated you. If you cultivate for more than 10,000 years, I wonder if you can reach the Nirvana Shatterer stage... "Wang Lin stopped after taking 21 steps.
At this moment, his entire body was covered in a layer of ice.
"My domain is a sliver of comprehension from the life and death cycle. The dao of the reincarnation cycle is the most ruthless dao in the world!"
Behind Wang Lin, the world changed colors and countless snowflakes were pushed away by an invisible force. A giant scroll suddenly appeared in the air behind Wang Lin.
The painting revealed the colors of mountains and rivers. However, there were no colors at all. There was only black and white.
Wang Lin took a deep breath, raised his foot, and took his 22nd step!
With this step, there was a thunderous bang and the entire mountain trembled. Cracks appeared on the ice under Wang Lin's feet. This showed how sturdy his step was!
Tian Yunzi stood inside the pagoda, and his eyes shined brightly.
"Back then, Sun Yun was able to reach 26 steps with his late stage Soul Transformation cultivation. How many steps can you take, Wang Lin?"
Wang Lin looked up at the pagoda at the top of the mountain. After a long moment of silence, he lifted his foot and took another step forward!
This time, he didn't take just one step. One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps!!!
On the first step, Wang Lin looked up, his eyes filled with coldness. On the second step, his body was as cold as ice. On the third step, the life and death scroll behind him suddenly shrank and began to hover above Wang Lin's head.
On the fourth step, Wang Lin's energy surged, and the coldness in his heart filled his body. It merged with his domain, forming a strange power that enveloped his body. He took the fifth step!
On the fifth step, Wang Lin's eyes flashed like lightning as he stared silently at the pagoda at the top of the mountain.
He took five steps in a row. Every time his foot landed on the ground, a rumbling sound echoed out. After five steps, the ice around Wang Lin's body began to crack. Strangely, not only did the ice not collapse, but in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original state.
Twenty-seven steps!
The reincarnation scroll above Wang Lin's head suddenly moved. It completely merged with the top of Wang Lin's head, merging with his origin soul.
At this moment, a shocking aura exploded out from Wang Lin's body. His hair moved without any wind, and the snowflakes around him rotated like crazy.
Domain!
This was the enlightenment gained during the Soul Formation stage. After three stages of enlightenment, it finally became a tangible manifestation. At this moment, as long as one's cultivation level was high enough, and they had enough celestial jades, they could go through the process of shedding their mortal body, becoming a celestial embryo, and obtaining a celestial body. Their origin soul would sublimate and completely merge with their body, and they could reach the Soul Transformation stage!
A Soul Transformation cultivator's comprehension of a domain would become a tangible existence. However, it would take time for it to become tangible, and it wouldn't be complete in an instant.
Wang Lin's life and death reincarnation dao was an extremely rare dao. This dao was the hardest to become tangible. After entering the Soul Transformation stage, Wang Lin had only been able to grasp the essence of a domain, but in the end, he still hadn't grasped the essence.
If this continued, then his chance of reaching the Ascendant was very slim.
However, today, in the Land of the Broken Immortals, Wang Lin's Dao of the Heart combined with his domain. Using the previous 22 steps as a foundation, he took five steps in a row!
These five steps were the steps of dao. They were filled with an aura of never looking back. If he didn't take a step, then he would surpass those before him!
Borrowing the aura of this dao, Wang Lin's domain finally took an important step on the path of becoming tangible!
Although this step didn't increase the power of his domain by much, nor did it increase his cultivation level, it opened up a key path for him to reach the Ascendant stage.
"Domain body!"
On top of the pagoda, Tian Yunzi took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "This kid has a chance to reach the Ascendant stage within 100 years!"
"17 steps!" Wang Lin pondered. He could feel that 27 steps was his limit!
In truth, when he took the previous twenty-fifth step, his Dao and Intent had already reached the limit of his current stage. However, with the Intent Domain in his body, he was able to take several more steps and reach the current twenty-seventh step in one fell swoop.
At the 28th step, Wang Lin knew that he couldn't take it anymore. Once he took it, his cultivation level would collapse and even his origin soul would dissipate.
Just at this moment, the pagoda at the top of the mountain suddenly emitted a rainbow-colored light. Seven rings of light surrounded the entire mountain.
In the blink of an eye, all the cold Qi disappeared completely.
The layer of ice before Wang Lin reflected the rainbow-colored light. A rainbow-colored light descended from the ice and landed before Wang Lin.
"Come up and see me!" Tian Yunzi's voice came from the pagoda at the top of the mountain. It was filled with majesty.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing. Then he stepped onto the rainbow-colored light.
One step, and by the second step, he had already crossed the remaining 70 steps and appeared directly under the pagoda at the top of the mountain.
This was a very ordinary-looking pagoda. At this moment, bursts of seven-colored light suddenly condensed under the pagoda. In the blink of an eye, it turned into the All-Seer's figure.
"The spirit of my Heavenly Fate Sect's ancestor is not a cultivator, but the fate of the heavens. The Old Man's life pursuit is the fate of the heavens. All fate is determined by the heavens and by man. No matter which one it is, it is all fate!
"The Old Man happened to pass by Suzaku and happened to see you comprehending the origin of the heavens. When I saw this, my heart was moved. This is the fate of you and me; it means that we are fated to be master and disciple.
"I, Tian Yunzi, have always believed in the heavens, so I accepted you as my disciple!" After Tian Yunzi said this, he paused for a bit and looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's expression was respectful as he stood there with his head lowered.
"You took 27 steps, which was beyond my expectations. You didn't disappoint me!" Tian Yunzi withdrew his gaze, raised his right hand, and reached toward the void.
A tearing sound echoed across the sky. The entire sky was split in half by Tian Yunzi's hand, creating a huge rift.
Seven-colored light came out from this rift and lit up the entire world. At this moment, the entire main sect of the Heavenly Fate Sect, including the pagoda and the three mountains, were shrouded in this seven-colored light.
At the same time, the red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple sects all released different halos. Under the light, a small portion of planet Tian Yun's sky was lit up by the seven-colored light.
At the source of the seven-colored light, under the rift, Tian Yunzi's body was covered in seven-colored light. He smiled and said, "The Old Man loves the seven-colored light the most. Combined with the black and white here, the nine-colored light is the most beautiful thing in the world!"
With that, Tian Yunzi's expression became serious. At this moment, all the kindness he had before disappeared and was replaced with a powerful sense of majesty. He looked at Wang Lin and shouted:
"Wang Lin, kneel!"
Without a word, Wang Lin knelt on the ground and raised his head to look at Tian Yunzi.
Tian Yunzi's right hand pointed at Wang Lin with the void spell and shouted, "Today, the Old Man, Tian Yunzi, accepts Wang Lin as the seventh disciple of the Purple Division under the nine-colored light!
Wang Lin, are you willing to become the Old Man's disciple? Are you willing to follow the rules of the sect and not do anything that goes against the Heavenly Fate Sect? Are you willing to focus on your cultivation, achieve your dao, and verify your dao?
You, answer me! "
Wang Lin's eyes became serious. He revealed a determined expression and calmly said, "As long as Master doesn't betray me, I won't betray Master!
As long as the Heavenly Fate Sect doesn't betray me, I won't betray the Heavenly Fate Sect!
This is my, Wang Lin's, promise! "
The All-Seer's gaze withdrew as he carefully looked at Wang Lin and slowly nodded.
His left hand reached toward the rift in the sky and the entire sky trembled.
A giant, seven-colored altar slowly descended from the rift!
This altar was too big. Just as it descended a corner, the surrounding space began to crackle as if it couldn't bear the weight.
There were countless seven-colored wooden tablets on the altar.
At this moment, Tian Yunzi waved his left hand and one of the wooden tablets flew toward him in a ray of purple light.
It landed in Tian Yunzi's hand.
Tian Yunzi's finger was like a knife as he carved a line of words on the tablet!
"First year on planet Tian Yun, accept the seventh disciple of the Purple Division, Wang Lin!"
After he finished carving, Tian Yunzi threw the wooden tablet in his hand and it began to burn. It turned into a purple flame and flew back to the altar. "Now, the Old Man will teach you a forbidden spell. What do you want to learn?"
