After 60 feet, Wang Lin's eyes narrowed. He didn't continue to move forward, but took three steps back and stepped out from the side. He took nine steps!
Then he took another three steps back, changed his direction, and charged forward.
He almost took a small detour and came to a distance of thirty feet from the pavilion!
His expression was calm. All of this was within his calculations, and all the changes were in his heart. In truth, he had calculated each step countless times in his mind before he was able to confirm it.
It was because he was confident that he was able to calmly move forward. Wang Lin knew that if he took one wrong step, then he would suffer a powerful backlash inside the restriction.
The first 60 feet were fine, but the last 40 feet was something that, with his cultivation level, if he took the wrong step, he would be doomed!
However, things weren't absolute. There was always a chance of survival inside the restriction. If he stepped on this chance of survival during a moment of danger, he would be able to save his life!
This was also one of the characteristics of the celestial restriction!
However, this chance of survival wasn't fixed. It would constantly change its position as the restriction changed. During these two months, aside from the restriction itself, the main focus of Wang Lin's calculations was the position of this chance of survival.
From 60 feet to 70 feet, the reason he took a small circle was because of the change in the chance of survival. He had always maintained that he was only one step away from it.
At this moment, he was standing at 70 feet and calculating with his fingers. His eyes lit up and he took a step forward. With this step, he directly moved 10 feet forward.
After his foot landed, Wang Lin immediately moved another 10 feet forward. However, the moment he landed, Wang Lin's expression changed. Without any hesitation, he took half a step to the left. Just at this moment, a black tornado appeared within 100 feet of the pavilion!
This tornado appeared out of nowhere and a violent force surged out. There were also bolts of black lightning flashing inside the tornado. In the blink of an eye, everything within 100 feet seemed to have been destroyed. Wind, thunder, and lightning rumbled. Forget Wang Lin, even an Ascendant cultivator would die if they stayed inside for more than three breaths!
In particular, the lightning was like a swimming dragon that could destroy everything in the world!
Wang Lin's figure constantly moved within the thirty metre wide hurricane, crisscrossing between the bolts of lightning. Every single step he took was on a path of survival, and the slightest carelessness would cause him to be struck by the bolts of lightning, causing his Yuan Spirit to be destroyed!
It wasn't that he made a mistake in his calculation earlier, but that the formation had somehow reversed itself and was now operating in the opposite direction!
After ten breaths of time, the hurricane immediately dissipated, as if it had never appeared. Along with it, the black lightning also dissipated.
Wang Lin's body flickered and he stepped into the pavilion. He had crossed the 10 moons of distance, but a large amount of sweat was coming down his forehead.
The moment he stepped into the pavilion, the area 100 feet around the pavilion began to shine brightly. This light shined brightly and caused the surrounding scenery to change greatly.
At the back of the pavilion, it was as if the clouds had been parted, revealing a fake mountain. The ground was covered in grass, and there was a bamboo forest, which was connected to the bamboo forest that had existed in the surroundings.
The scenery around him changed greatly, as if he had been rescued from death's door. A new world had appeared.
At the same time, a calm voice came from the void and entered Wang Lin's ears.
"Break the restriction and you will temporarily gain the right to own this cave. As long as you don't die, no one will be able to enter this place again!" The moment the voice appeared, a crystal light flew from the distance and stopped before Wang Lin.
It was a crystal token the size of a finger. It floated in the air and emitted bursts of seven-colored light.
"This is the token of the cave. With this token, you can enter the cave!"
Wang Lin took a deep breath as he held the crystal token and looked at the pavilion. Inside the pavilion, be it the stone tables or chairs, they were all protected by restrictions that couldn't be easily touched.
However, compared to the 100 foot restriction, these restrictions were a lot weaker.
Wang Lin didn't look at the tables or chairs. His gaze was focused on the wine jug on the round table.
Although the restriction on the wine jug was exquisite, it wasn't a problem for Wang Lin. After a bit of divination, his right hand pointed at the wine jug. When it was three inches away from the jug, a ripple that looked like the surface of the water appeared.
Wang Lin's finger landed on the surface of the ripple. At the same time, he quickly raised his finger and flicked it. The shadow of a restriction flew out from his hand and landed on the ripple.
At this moment, the water ripples immediately surged, and in the center, a rotating vortex appeared. This vortex spun faster and faster, spreading in all directions, forming a circular hole.
Wang Lin's right hand moved like lightning and reached into the hole. He grabbed the wine jug and took it out.
The ripple disappeared and the surroundings returned to normal.
Wang Lin's eyes were filled with excitement. The wine jug in his hand was a bit heavy, so it wasn't empty!
He took a deep breath and opened the jug. A fragrant smell immediately came out. Wang Lin immediately saw that there were about 10 drops of wine inside the jug!
"This jug is a bit heavy, but there are only 10 drops … But this is celestial wine, and it is placed here, so it is definitely not ordinary!"
Wang Lin stared at the wine jug and felt a bit conflicted. After a bit, he clenched his teeth and poured out a drop of wine. He sucked it into his mouth.
The moment the drop of wine entered his mouth, Wang Lin's entire body turned red. A powerful surge of celestial spiritual energy flowed through his body in the blink of an eye.
A feeling of intoxication appeared in Wang Lin's body along with the celestial spiritual energy.
The celestial spiritual energy in his body rapidly increased and flowed through his meridians like a flood. A burning sensation rose from his dantian and rushed toward the top of his head.
At the same time, the feeling of intoxication became stronger as the celestial spiritual energy flowed through his body. Wang Lin's eyes were no longer clear, but cloudy.
His body slowly leaned to the side, his head tilted to the side, and he fell asleep.
Time passed. Three months … six months … nine months … one year!
During this one year, Wang Lin slept the entire time. His snores came from the distance. Ever since he started cultivating, Wang Lin rarely slept. However, this was the longest he had slept in hundreds of years!
Although he was sleeping, the celestial spiritual energy in his body increased like crazy. Even if Tian Yunzi saw this, he would be shocked!
When the celestial spiritual energy in his body reached a certain level, the demonic crystal in his dantian silently shattered and melted. Demonic spiritual energy filled the area, but it was immediately devoured by the celestial spiritual energy and became a part of him.
As Wang Lin fell asleep, strands of celestial spiritual energy came out from his body and filled the area. During this one year, the celestial spiritual energy within this area was extremely dense.
While sleeping, Wang Lin still held a jug of wine in his right hand.
On this day, Wang Lin slowly opened his eyes and let out a drunken burp. His eyes were filled with confusion as he subconsciously looked around. However, the confusion in his eyes disappeared and was replaced with clarity.
He almost immediately stood up with a vigilant look in his eyes. After carefully looking around, he frowned and looked down at the wine jug in his hand. He only remembered drinking a drop of wine, and the celestial spiritual energy in his body increased. Then he fell asleep involuntarily!
Thinking about celestial spiritual energy, he immediately looked inside himself. After checking himself, his eyes were filled with unimaginable shock.
"This … I … How long have I been sleeping?!!!" Ever since Wang Lin started cultivating, it was rare for him to be this shocked.
"The celestial spiritual energy in my body has far surpassed the peak of the late stage of Soul Transformation. I only need to comprehend my domain to reach the Life and Death Stage!" Wang Lin looked at the jug of wine in his hand in disbelief.
"What kind of wine is this?!"
Wang Lin was extremely cautious as he put the jug of wine into his bag of holding. However, he still felt uneasy, so he placed several powerful restrictions on it before putting it back into his bag of holding.
"I'm going to completely plunder this place!" At this moment, Wang Lin's interest in this place reached a peak!
After the excitement passed, Wang Lin also felt a bit of fear.
"Luckily, my domain hasn't reached the Life and Death Stage yet. Otherwise, if I had enough celestial spiritual energy to reach the Life and Death Stage, I wouldn't be able to take out Zhou Yi's Ascendant Crystal while I was asleep. If I was unlucky and failed to reach the Ascendant Stage, I would have died too unjustly!" Wang Lin silently pondered, but then his eyes lit up.
"With my current cultivation level, I have no opponents in the Soul Transformation stage. As long as my domain is strong enough, I can find a secret place to reach the Ascendant Stage. This secret place … This place is the most secretive. Once my domain is strong enough, I can reach the Ascendant Stage here!
"Everything in this world is really a blessing and disaster. I was lucky enough to enter this place. If not for this, even if I had enough celestial jades, I don't know how many years it would take for me to reach my current level.
"Could this be what mortals call a fortuitous encounter …" Wang Lin was in a good mood. After his nap, he was in a good state. He looked around and was about to continue breaking the seal, but his heart skipped a beat.
"How long did I sleep … If I slept for decades or even centuries, then wouldn't the outside world have changed a lot? If that's the case, then I might as well cultivate on my own …"
Wang Lin pondered a bit and walked around the pavilion. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and fell on the bamboo forest in the distance.
There was a corner of a fence in the bamboo forest. Although most of it was covered by bamboo, upon closer inspection, Wang Lin was able to see some clues.
"I didn't notice before that there was a pavilion here, but it looks like an ancestral hall in a mortal's courtyard!"
After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin didn't go check the ancestral hall. Instead, he took out the crystal token and his mind entered it. There was a burst of light and his figure disappeared from the cave.
There was a big treasure inside the cave, and it contained a lot of secrets. Once I leave, I'll find some time to come back and slowly dig them out.
Today, the first chapter was a bit lacking, but the second chapter was dry. If I average it out, it should be about the same.
