Among the four of them, one of the two women had her hair tied up in a bun. Two strands of hair flowed down from her ears, and there were a few sparkling crystals between her eyebrows. Her eyebrows were like the willow moon, reflecting her pearl-like eyes. Her pretty oval face was like warm jade. Although she wasn't peerless, she had the beauty to steal the moon. She looked to be around 20 years old, but there was a hint of insight in her eyes that revealed a maturity that didn't match her age.
She was wearing a white dress. Although it wasn't tight, it was still curvaceous and very attractive.
Cultivators were good at maintaining their appearance, and those with high cultivation levels could increase their lifespan. It was very difficult to tell their actual age from their appearance.
Beside this woman, there was another woman who seemed rather ordinary. Her long hair draped over her shoulders and she looked soft and weak. Her slender body seemed as if it would be blown away by the wind. She wore pink clothes, which made her complexion seem rather pale. Compared to the beautiful woman, this woman was a little less breathtaking, but a little more pitiful.
Beside the two women, a young man wearing a red robe gently said, "Two Junior Sisters, this is the Cloud Sea Mountain of the Water Demon Country. Back then, I accidentally found this place and lingered here. Although I haven't been to the Celestial Realm, this Cloud Sea Mountain is definitely better than the Celestial Realm. Brother Murong, what do you think?"
This young man was very handsome and gave off an arrogant aura as if he was the pride of the heavens.
The other man beside him coldly said, "Not bad!"
Another man beside him coldly said. This person was dressed in black and had a cold expression. After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and no longer said anything.
The red-robed young man faintly smiled. He was already used to the other person's short speech.
The beautiful woman pursed her lips and smiled. "I'm afraid Senior Brother Du isn't here for the Cloud Sea Mountain."
The red-robed young man smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, Junior Sister Zhao, I found a crack in the Cloud Sea. I'm afraid this is the rumored Tide Abyss."
The woman named Zhao's eyes lit up. Just as she was about to speak, the black-robed young man suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
"Very strong!" The black-clothed youth's eyes flashed as he said.
In the distant horizon, a streak of light pierced through the air and turned into a young man in white. This person's appearance was ordinary and there was nothing special about him. He stood in the air and didn't even look at the four of them. Instead, he coldly glanced at the clouds and stepped forward.
"It's him!"
After the red-robed man saw the person's appearance, he was startled for a moment, but then a hint of shock appeared in his eyes. He saw that the person's cultivation level had already reached the Ascendant stage!
A thought flashed through his mind, and a smile appeared on his face as he said, "Junior Brother Wang, please wait!"
The white-robed young man was none other than Wang Lin. He stopped and turned his head to look at the four people. The first person he looked at was not the two women, nor was it the red-robed young man, but the black-robed man.
"This person was able to find me from 500 kilometers away, so his cultivation level is not weak. Looking at the celestial origin energy in his body, he should be at the early stage of Ascendant!"
Wang Lin's gaze was calm as he swept past them one by one. His gaze finally landed on the red-robed young man. He was a bit familiar with this person; he was a disciple of the Tian Yunzi Red Division.
Among the four of them, aside from the black-robed man, the other three were all at the peak of the late stage of Soul Transformation. However, the red-robed young man was already one step into the Ascendant stage. If he wanted to, he could reach the Ascendant stage at any time. He was probably worried about the trial of life and death, so he never took that step!
"Junior Brother Wang, I'm Du Jian."
The red-robed young man smiled. He immediately knew that this Wang Lin probably didn't know his name.
Wang Lin clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Du."
Du Jian smiled as he pointed at the black-robed man and said, "Junior Brother Wang, he is the Mo Sect's Murong Zhuo. As for these two, they are fellow cultivators from the Floating Cloud Sect."
The black-robed man, Murong Zhuo, carefully looked at Wang Lin and clasped his hands. "Wang Daoyou, I'm the Mo Sect's fourth generation disciple, Murong Zhuo!"
After Murong Zhuo finished speaking, Du Jian and the other two girls all revealed a trace of astonishment in their eyes. Along the way, the three of them had never seen Murong Zhuo speak more than five words. His character of being a man of few words had already been deeply engraved in their hearts.
Even when they met fellow mid stage Ascendant cultivators, Murong Zhuo had never said so many words.
In particular, this person had placed emphasis on introducing himself. The three of them had all cultivated for many years. Being able to cultivate to this level, they were naturally not fools. These simple words revealed a sense of respect for those of the same generation.
The beautiful girl named Zhao looked at Wang Lin with her beautiful eyes and smiled sweetly. "Senior Brother Wang, this little sister is Zhao Yixuan, and this is my junior sister, Xu Fei."
"Xu Fei …" This simple name made Wang Lin recall something. He couldn't help but look at the weak girl. The girl bowed toward Wang Lin and softly said, "Xu Fei greets Senior Brother Wang."
Du Jian looked at Wang Lin and smiled meaningfully.
"Does Junior Brother Wang know Junior Sister Xu?"
Wang Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know her. It's just that Junior Sister Xu's name is the same as Wang's when I was young."
Du Jian faintly smiled and avoided this topic.
"Junior Brother Wang, did you come here for the Tide Abyss?"
He didn't try to hide anything or try to get information out of Wang Lin; he was very straightforward.
Wang Lin's expression remained the same as he nodded. "Yes!"
Du Jian's eyes narrowed and he said, "Junior Brother Wang, the Tide Abyss is very dangerous. Even if you are at the Ascendant stage, it will be very difficult for you to enter. Our goal is also the Tide Abyss, so why don't we team up? At least we can look after each other."
Wang Lin pondered a bit. He knew how dangerous the Tide Abyss was. Before he came here, he used the crystal Bei Lou gave him to check it out. There were a few places that he would need to take risks with his current cultivation level.
If Murong Zhuo wasn't among the four of them, Wang Lin would have immediately refused. However, with Murong Zhuo, the situation was different. Although Murong Zhuo was at the early stage of Ascendant, he was able to find Wang Lin from thousands of kilometers away, so he must have some kind of spell.
Wang Lin faintly smiled and said, "That's good!"
Du Jian had a smile on his face, but he let out a cold snort in his heart. It would be impossible for him to not be suspicious and jealous of Wang Lin reaching the Ascendant stage in such a short period of time.
He clearly remembered that when he first saw Wang Lin, he was only at the mid stage of Soul Transformation. But now, in just a short 100 years, he had reached the early stage of Ascendant. Also, it didn't look like he had just reached the Ascendant stage; it looked like he had taken the first step into the Ascendant stage a long time ago!
"There must be a reason why this bumpkin from an abandoned planet's cultivation level increased so fast. Also, he managed to escape a life and death calamity when he reached the Ascendant stage. I fear this matter is not so simple!
"Also, if this person continues to develop like this, I fear that when he leaves here in 400 years, his cultivation level will be even higher. As a result, the status of the Purple Division will immediately rise."
Evil intent appeared in his heart, but on the surface, Du Jian didn't show it at all. He had a gentle smile as if he was really an older brother.
However, the person he was facing was Wang Lin, someone who had gone through life and death situations on Suzaku for hundreds of years. He had experienced things that most people would find difficult to experience in their entire lives, so he had long been trained to be astute and intelligent.
Wang Lin was the complete opposite of the bumpkin he imagined him to be.
If Du Jian's life was compared to Wang Lin's, it could be said that his life was insignificant!
The group of five didn't talk anymore and charged toward the Cloud Sea Mountain.
Clouds and mist swirled about, and there were even some that turned into illusory images of mountains and seas. It was an extremely spectacular sight, and at the same time, it also possessed a sort of enchanting beauty.
Zhao Yixuan's beautiful eyes would occasionally look at Wang Lin. She couldn't see through this man. In the Demon Spirit Land, she could even see through the hearts of the commander-in-chiefs. In the past 100 years, there had only been two and a half people she couldn't see through.
Wang Lin's figure looked a bit blurry through the clouds. Zhao Yixuan's vision seemed to be blocked by the clouds, making it even harder for her to see through him.
The first person she couldn't see through was the Da Lou Sword Sect's Chen Long. There was always a layer of fog around him, and when she wanted to take a closer look, the fog would turn into a sharp sword that prevented her from penetrating it.
As for the half person she couldn't see through, it was Murong Zhuo!
Zhao Yixuan's gaze swept past Murong Zhuo before her.
Sometimes this Murong Zhuo would be clear and transparent in her eyes, but other times he would be like a pool of stagnant water. This change made it very difficult for her to see through his thoughts.
The last person she couldn't see through was Wang Lin, who had suddenly appeared.
In Zhao Yixuan's eyes, this Wang Lin was even more mysterious. This person didn't have a layer of fog like Chen Long, nor did he change like Murong Zhuo. However, this person completely relied on his own willpower to lock his mind!
He didn't need a layer of fog, he didn't need an illusion, he only needed to close the door to his heart!
Zhao Yixuan's eyes revealed a strange light. Just at this moment, Wang Lin suddenly turned around and casually looked at her before withdrawing his gaze and turning back.
However, this gaze was like a sharp sword that directly pierced into Zhao Yixuan's mind.
"Is this a warning … This Wang Lin is very interesting. Even the Da Lou Sword Sect's Chen Long only noticed me after I strengthened my spell. As for that Murong Zhuo, he only noticed a trace of my spell … But this Wang Lin immediately noticed the abnormality when I moved my mind …" Zhao Yixuan's eyes revealed a trace of interest, but it was quickly hidden.
As Wang Lin walked, his eyes lit up and he revealed a sneer.
"These four people are interesting. Not only do they all have their own thoughts, but their spells aren't weak. However, among the four of them, the weakest should be the weak girl named Xu. There is a strange feeling coming from her …"
The five of them were all extremely fast as they gradually passed through the clouds. In front of them was a deep ravine in the ground, revealing itself in front of them.
This fissure was extremely large. It was over 30 meters wide, and as for its length, it was over 3km long. It extended all the way into the clouds and mist at the end of the horizon. This fissure was like a ghastly mouth that had grown out of the ground, and it also seemed like it had been created by a Divine Ability.
