"Allheaven Star System!"
Wang Lin's pupils shrank. In his memory, there was no information about the Luo Tian Star System. Even the memories of Ancient God Tu Si didn't mention a star system.
The woman in the scroll trembled. She seemed to want to turn around, but there was an invisible force that made it impossible for her to do so.
"Home …"
Wang Lin pondered. After a while, he stared at the scroll and said, "I've brought you here. It's your turn!"
The woman in the scroll let out a sigh and her ethereal voice echoed.
"Do you want to hear a story …?" Wang Lin frowned. His expression was gloomy as he coldly said, "Not interested!"
The woman paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "A long time ago, in the entire world, even in the entire starry sky, there was a mysterious starry sky. That place was the holy land of all cultivators. That place was called the Celestial Realm … Many of the rumors about the Celestial Realm have disappeared in the long river of time. In fact, no one can confirm whether the Celestial Realm really exists.
"However, there is a legend that has been passed down. According to the legend, the Celestial Realm gave up on cultivators and disappeared. All that was left were the four passages that led to the Celestial Realm. After countless years, these four passages became places for high level cultivators to ascend. They were … Wind, Rain, Thunder, Lightning … Each of the four Celestial Realms corresponded to a star system. Above the Luo Tian Star System was the Thunder Celestial Realm …" The Heaven Defying Bead doesn't belong to the Alliance Star System. It first appeared in my Luo Tian Star System.
"No one knows how this bead appeared, but the moment it appeared, all the top cultivators in my Luo Tian Star System felt the existence of the Ancient Celestial Realm …" Wang Lin's eyes narrowed as he coldly stared at the scroll and didn't speak.
"As you can imagine, that trace of aura from the Ancient Celestial Realm made almost all the peak cultivators go crazy, but in the end, this bead mysteriously disappeared … After countless years, we obtained some clues. This bead, for some reason, appeared in the Alliance Star System of the Rain Celestial Realm …" There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes as he pointed up and said,
"You were the one who set up the Ancient Teleportation Formation!"
The woman in the scroll silently pondered. After a long time, she shook her head and said, "I didn't enter the Alliance Star System from here, but that transfer array was indeed created by a cultivator from my Luo Tian Star System.
That teleportation portal has long since been abandoned. Unless you have a Luo Tian Stone, you won't be able to activate it, not even immortal jades. "
"I've already told you everything I know about the origin of the heaven defying bead. As for the Shadow of Love's soul fragment, my ancestor can help you. As long as you take me through this vortex to the Luo Tian Star System and send me home, I'll definitely ask my ancestor to help you resurrect that soul fragment!"
Wang Lin's eyes were cold as he stared at the woman in the scroll. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze. The moment he saw the Allheaven Star System, he regained his calmness. This woman clearly wanted to lure him to the Luo Tian Star System.
"What sect are you a disciple of in the Luo Tian Star System?"
Wang Lin calmly asked.
"The Luo Tian Star System is different from your Alliance Star System. There are no sects, only cultivation families.
My family is the Xiang family on planet Dong Lin. "
Wang Lin pondered a bit and then said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to pass through this vortex with my cultivation level …" The woman in the scroll shook her head and softly said, "You have the heaven defying bead, so you can definitely pass."
There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes. The woman's words were so certain, so she must have been hiding a lot of things.
Wang Lin no longer wasted time with the woman. His right hand reached out and grabbed the scroll. He didn't charge into the vortex but floated upward.
The woman in the scroll immediately asked, "You … Don't you want to resurrect that beautiful shadow?"
Wang Lin silently pondered and charged out. He immediately spread out his origin soul and body to fuse with the suction force and floated upward.
Along the way, no matter what the woman in the scroll said, Wang Lin didn't speak. After an unknown amount of time, Wang Lin saw the protruding boulder in the distance. On the other side of the boulder was the crack.
His body flashed and he landed on top of the boulder. He looked down at the teleportation formation on top of it. His origin soul moved and immediately released lightning that followed his feet into the boulder.
Popping sounds immediately came from within the stone, and green lightning swam across its surface. Then, with a boom, it shattered inch by inch into rubble, which was pulled down by a suction force.
Without the boulder, this place was the same as before; there was nothing special about it. Then Wang Lin grabbed the scroll and entered the crack 200 feet away.
After entering this place, Wang Lin threw the scroll and it stabbed into the wall. Then his eyes became cold and his hand formed a seal. Restrictions flew out and surrounded the scroll.
"Why are you doing this … Without my help, the remnant soul inside the heaven defying bead won't be able to resurrect …" The woman's anxious voice came from the scroll.
"Quiet!"
There was a flash of lightning in Wang Lin's eyes and more and more seals appeared in his hand. Soon, they covered the entire spatial crack.
He had checked the scroll when he was ascending. With his power, he couldn't destroy it, but the woman inside knew too many secrets. Since he couldn't kill her, then he would seal her forever!
"Wang Lin!!
Without me, the remnant soul in your bead will never be able to come back to life!! "A vicious voice came out from the scroll like the howling of a chilly wind.
Wang Lin's face was gloomy. His hands moved faster and faster, and the vicious voice became weaker and weaker until it completely disappeared.
This seal lasted for several months. Wang Lin didn't stop at all. Countless restrictions gathered together to form a terrifying seal.
Several months later, Wang Lin stepped back and left the crack. His eyes lit up and his right hand hit the crack. The crack collapsed and buried the scroll inside.
From the outside, there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary. No one would ever know that there was a woman in the scroll painting who was sealed deep within.
Even if someone came here, they wouldn't have time to check the walls around them because they were resisting the suction force.
After sealing the scroll, Wang Lin didn't immediately leave. Instead, he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
Time slowly passed. Several days later, a faint fluctuation came from the area where the scroll was sealed. Just as the fluctuation came out of the crack, Wang Lin, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and revealed a grim smile.
His hands formed a seal and a black shadow appeared from the void behind him. It charged toward where the crack was.
"Seal!"
Wang Lin let out a roar and the celestial guard's hand formed a seal. A powerful seal appeared in the puppet's hand and pressed down on the seal the moment the ripples spread out.
Vaguely, Wang Lin heard a miserable groan. His eyes lit up and he and the celestial guard both sent out seals that penetrated the wall and went deep into the wall.
After doing all of this, Wang Lin put away the celestial guard and continued to silently close his eyes.
Several months later, the fluctuation appeared once more. What awaited her was another complete seal. After sealing the scroll three times, Wang Lin pondered a bit and no longer stayed. He flew into the sky.
"The woman inside the scroll should have had a very powerful cultivation, but now she is sealed inside the scroll. Originally, this woman would never be able to escape, but back in the Immortal Graveyard, she absorbed the third ancestor's tattoo beast and gained a sliver of her spell.
"I didn't investigate and allowed her to find out a lot of secrets. If it wasn't for the fact that we were in a special place in the Abyss, she wouldn't have told me everything and would have continued to wait for the day she recovered.
If I keep such a hidden danger by my side, I will definitely be affected by her in the future!
I fear she has other motives for luring me to the Luo Tian Star System! "
As Wang Lin flew up, he silently thought.
"She said that I should only listen to 30% of the information, but the Luo Tian Star System should be real. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let me take her there."
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he floated upward. The suction force here was very powerful. Although Wang Lin's avatar was part of the suction force, he could still feel that there was a layer of pressure preventing him from going up.
He took a deep breath and slapped his bag of holding. The Seven Star Sword Formation flew out and surrounded him. It created a large amount of force that pushed him upward.
"The Xiang family on planet Dong Lin. Even if this family has no connection to this woman, they can still find out her identity. Since she said that her family's ancestor can revive Wan Er, then whether it's true or false, I have to go take a look. Without the woman in the scroll following me, even if I go to the Luo Tian Star System, no one will know I have the Heaven Defying Bead.
"Besides, the Demon Spirit Land is filled with danger. The Tian Yunzi and company can come at any time, and once they arrive, they will inevitably meet. As a result, I won't be able to resist those existences with unimaginable cultivation levels!"
As Wang Lin flew up, there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
"However, since the last token is in my hands, without me, they can forget about entering the real cave. As a result, it is useless for them to come to the Demon Spirit Land. Even if they find out from the Greedy Wolf that the token is in my hands, and even if they confirm it, I will have already left for the Luo Tian Star System!
"Once my cultivation level increases and I can talk to Tian Yunzi and company on equal footing, I'll come back to explore the mystery of this cave!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up.
"However, before that, there are some things I need to deal with. I don't know when I'll be back …" Wang Lin let out a sigh.
In this deep pit, the Seven Star Sword Formation was no longer as effective. The shadow behind Wang Lin flickered and the celestial guard turned into a black tornado. It carried Wang Lin and sped up once more.
They were getting closer and closer to the exit of the deep pit … A large number of mosquito beasts were roaring at the exit. One of the purple-colored mosquito beasts that was originally dispirited immediately lit up at this moment. It instantly rushed out and directly knocked away some of its companions that were flying in front of it. At the mouth of the abyss, it stared straight down and let out a series of roars.
This roar revealed an indescribable joy. The mosquito beast's body trembled as it flapped its wings and charged into the abyss without any hesitation.
At this moment, even if all of the mosquito beasts called out at the same time, they wouldn't be able to make this purple mosquito beast turn around and charge down the abyss!
As Wang Lin rose into the air, he immediately noticed the roar from above. He looked up and saw the mosquito beast he hadn't seen for decades.
When the beast saw Wang Lin, its eyes were filled with joy and it roared around Wang Lin. It was like a child that had been away from his parents for many years and had finally seen his family.
It excitedly flew under Wang Lin and carried Wang Lin out. The moment it flew out of the abyss, Wang Lin let out a deep breath.
The reason he was able to fly out so smoothly, aside from the fact that he had fused with the suction force, the T-Star sword and the celestial guard had played a major role. In addition, the weakening of the suction force in the deep pit also played a big role.
The suction force of the deep pit was unpredictable; it was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. If it was at its strongest, then even with all of the advantages Wang Lin had, it would have been difficult for him to charge out.
After flying out on top of the mosquito beast, Wang Lin immediately saw the thousands of mosquito beasts. They were all staring at Wang Lin with ferocious gazes.
Wang Lin frowned. The number of mosquito beasts had decreased by more than half compared to many years ago. Presumably, something had happened during the battle between the Greedy Wolf and Zhou Yi, causing the number of mosquito beasts to decrease greatly.
"I just don't know what kind of changes happened …" Wang Lin pondered a bit. His right hand pressed down on the head of the mosquito beast below him and his divine sense surged.
Images immediately flashed through Wang Lin's divine sense. Half way through the battle between Zhou Yi and the Greedy Wolf, a man and a woman arrived at the exit of the Fire Demon Country.
These two people were too strong, and with just one grab, the Greedy Wolf was captured. As for Zhou Yi, he was also captured by the man and woman. However, it didn't seem like they had any malicious intent. Instead, when the man saw Zhou Yi, his eyes revealed melancholy and nostalgia.
The mosquito herd wasn't destroyed, but most of them were taken away by the cultivation couple. If it wasn't for the fact that Wang Lin's mosquito beast had noticed that the situation was bad and used a strange method to change its body so that it looked no different from an ordinary mosquito beast, it might have been captured as well.
Wang Lin withdrew his divine sense from the mosquito beast and his expression was gloomy.
He pondered a bit and then patted the mosquito beast. The mosquito beast let out a roar but didn't fly toward the exit of the Fire Demon Country. Instead, it changed direction and flew toward the entrance of the Water Demon Country.
With the suction force of Wang Lin's avatar, any place could be an exit.
As they flew, the thousands of mosquito beasts followed behind. They would occasionally let out cries of reluctance and despair as if they were trying to persuade Wang Lin's mosquito beast to stay.
On this day, a ray of purple light shot out from the entrance of the Water Demon Country and turned into the mosquito beast. Wang Lin was sitting on top of the mosquito beast with a gloomy expression.
The moment the purple light appeared, more than 2,000 mosquito beasts also rushed out and surrounded Wang Lin. Their gazes all landed on the purple mosquito beast, and their cries became even louder.
Wang Lin's mosquito beast revealed a decisive gaze and let out a series of cries as if it was responding.
The surrounding mosquito beasts' reluctance became even stronger. They would occasionally look at Wang Lin with ferocious gazes.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he stood up. Lightning came out from his origin soul. At this moment, it looked like he was surrounded by lightning. His eyes were like lightning as he coldly looked at the mosquito beasts.
Feeling Wang Lin's state of mind, the mosquito beast below him let out a roar. Its roar was filled with a powerful pressure, causing the surrounding mosquito beasts to slowly scatter.
Wang Lin took out his bag of holding, opened it, and looked at the surrounding mosquito beasts.
The mosquito herd was completely silent. After a long time, one of them flew out and turned into a ray of grey light before entering the bag of holding. Shortly after, more mosquito beasts flew in.
However, not all of the mosquito beasts chose to enter the bag of holding. About two-thirds of them chose to remain silent as they watched Wang Lin and their king disappear over the horizon.
After a long time, they all cried out at the same time, their voices filled with grief. Slowly, these mosquito beasts' bodies collapsed one by one. They actually severed their own heart veins, falling from midair, falling into the entrance of the tide.
In the distance, the mosquito beast under Wang Lin's feet trembled. It slowly turned around and looked toward the direction of the Tide Abyss. Its eyes were also filled with sorrow.
Wang Lin let out a sigh as his right hand rubbed the head of the mosquito beast.
Based on his understanding of mosquito beasts, he knew that unless the mosquito was a cub, it would be impossible to subdue it once it reached adulthood. The ones that entered the bag of holding were all cubs, and the ones that chose to kill themselves were all adult mosquito beasts.
In the world of mosquito beasts, if they were abandoned by their king, then the only outcome was death!
Unless a new king appeared!
Wang Lin couldn't bear to see the mosquito beast's disappointment. He flew into the air and put the mosquito beast back into his bag of holding. He had it stay with its companions and the Thunder Frog. Only like this could it slowly recover from its sorrow.
Wang Lin looked up at the blue sky and white clouds. He hadn't seen the sky for a long time. After pondering for a while, Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and a crystal appeared in his hand.
His divine sense entered the crystal and it immediately released a crystal light that enveloped him. In an instant, the crystal light disappeared along with Wang Lin.
When he reappeared, Wang Lin was already inside his cave. Looking at the many restrictions that hadn't been broken yet, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he muttered to himself, "When I return next time, I'll break all the restrictions here one by one and unlock the mystery of this cave!"
He took a deep breath and his hand formed a seal to seal the cave. Then he destroyed the transfer array so that no one would be able to enter the cave. Not even the Blood Ancestor would be able to enter.
After doing all of this, Wang Lin looked back at the cave. He saw the spirit of the cave appear. He looked at Wang Lin from afar and didn't say a word.
Wang Lin turned around, held the crystal, and left.
Outside the Soul Refining Tribe in the Sky Demon Country, Wang Lin's figure appeared. When the tribe members saw Wang Lin, they were in a trance for a moment, but they soon revealed joyful expressions and kowtowed.
He didn't take away the souls of the Soul Refining Tribe members. Wang Lin called Shi San and Ouyang Hua into the pagoda. After giving them some instructions, he left behind some cultivation methods, including the continuation of the Giant Demon Clan cultivation method that Shi San cultivated. Then he left.
The moment he left, Shi San knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times toward Wang Lin. Ouyang Hua did the same. Both of their eyes were filled with sadness. Although Wang Lin didn't say anything, they had a feeling that it would be very difficult for them to meet again … In the Sky Demon Country, inside the Demon General's Mansion, Chen Tao was also cultivating. After many years of healing, he had recovered and even made some progress. Although it was not far, it was no longer far.
Shortly after, Shi Xiao opened his eyes and they were filled with light.
Shi Xiao sat down in the lotus position. His cultivation had returned to the mid stage of Ascendant with the help of the medicine. Although he was still far from the late stage, his eyes lit up. Beside him, Chen Tao also opened his eyes, revealing a profound gaze.
Shi Xiao calmly said, "Chen Tao, tomorrow I'll report to the Demon Emperor and recommend you as a demon general. I'll let you go to the Dragon Lake to comprehend. Although it won't be the real inheritance, comprehending there will be many benefits for you."
Chen Tao thanked him and said, "Tomorrow, I'll have to call you vice-commander-in-chief!"
Shi Xiao proudly smiled and said, "This position should have belonged to me more than 100 years ago!
However, it was stolen by Mo Lihai using despicable methods. If it wasn't for that lowly Wang Lin, what would Mo Lihai be? "
Chen Tao looked at Shi Xiao and calmly said, "Wang Lin is my junior brother!"
Shi Xiao raised his eyebrows and sneered. "When my Sky Demon Country was at war with the Fire Demon Country, where was your junior brother?
Taking advantage of the emptiness of the Fire Demon Country, he stole our credit. Although he helped Lord Ancient Demon, it was a disgrace to us!
"Moreover, this person has been missing for many years. I'm afraid his corpse is already cold. You remember him as your junior brother, but I'm afraid he has long forgotten that you are his senior brother."
Chen Tao silently pondered and didn't speak.
Shi Xiao's eyes revealed a hint of mockery and he said, "Calling him lowly is already an understatement. If he didn't die, I would've killed him. I would've let him know how a cultivator of the land of cultivation should view himself in the Demon Spirit Land!"
"Is that so …" An ice-cold voice came from the void around them.
Shi Xiao was startled, but his expression immediately became gloomy. He looked around and shouted, "Who is pretending to be mysterious? Come out for this commander-in-chief!"
Beside him, Chen Tao's eyes lit up and he stared at the sky.
He saw a black figure appear in the sky with a bright moon behind him. This person stepped on the moonlight and slowly walked over.
There were bursts of lightning moving around his body, creating a crackling sound. It looked very shocking.
"You … You're Wang Lin!" Chen Tao's eyes lit up and he recognized the identity of this black figure.
"You have three breaths of time to dare to break into my mansion. Scram, or else I'll behead you!"
Shi Xiao coldly looked over and his eyes were filled with killing intent. His cultivation level had increased greatly in recent years and was now equal to an early stage Ascendant cultivator. The demonic spiritual energy in his body was very dense.
Wang Lin landed on the ground. He calmly looked at Shi Xiao and slowly said, "I promised someone that I would take your life. Today, I'm here for that!"
Shi Xiao's eyes were filled with killing intent. His body turned into an afterimage as he charged at Wang Lin. As he moved, his hands formed a seal and he was about to use a spell.
Wang Lin's body didn't move, but under the moonlight, the shadow behind him became ferocious and extended out from his body. It charged out from the ground and passed by Shi Xiao, who was charging at him from the half piece of rock.
Chen Tao's expression changed greatly. Just as he was about to step out, the black shadow that was fighting Shi Xiao revealed a sharp gaze.
Under this gaze, Chen Tao's body trembled and his origin soul shrank. He stopped moving and cold sweat came down from his forehead.
"Yin and Yang …" Chen Tao's eyes were filled with terror.
The black shadow returned to Wang Lin's feet and turned back into a shadow. As for Shi Xiao, he fell to the ground with a bang. His eyes were still open and were filled with killing intent. However, his vitality and everything in his body had shattered.
Wang Lin turned around and left.
Under the moonlight, his figure seemed to be walking on the moon. His clothes and hair fluttered as he flew further and further away … "Be careful, Teacher!"
Wang Lin's voice echoed in Chen Tao's ears. He stared at the sky for a long time and couldn't say a word.
In the Demon Spirit Land, Wang Lin took care of all the trivial matters and appeared at the entrance to the Demon Spirit Land. He looked back at the earth before his gaze fell on the sky. His gaze seemed to pierce through the sky and continued to climb. His gaze broke through the sky and extended to the East Demon Spirit Sea.
Outside the East Demon Spirit Sea, Tian Yunzi, Ling Tianhou, the Blood Ancestor, and the eight elders suddenly stood there.
Everyone was waiting for Ling Tianhou to open the Demon Spirit Gate when Tian Yunzi exclaimed. He looked at the Demon Spirit Gate and slightly frowned.
They had entered the Demon Spirit Gate a few decades earlier. All of this was because when Tian Yunzi was cultivating more than 10 years ago, he suddenly felt a sense of fear. This was a feeling he hadn't felt in tens of thousands of years.
This feeling came from the Demon Spirit Land!
It came from the imprint he left on a disciple named Wang Lin!
At that moment, the imprint was forcibly removed!
This wasn't the first time the imprint had been removed. A long time ago, a disciple named Sun Yun also did this.
Tian Yunzi wasn't the only one who felt uneasy. The Blood Ancestor was also uneasy. His uneasiness came from his daughter, Yao Xixue. As time passed, this uneasiness became even stronger. At his level of cultivation, the uneasiness in his heart couldn't be groundless.
That's why when Tian Yunzi suggested entering the Demon Spirit Land early, he was the first to agree.
Yao Xixue was his only daughter and his only family. For this daughter, he was willing to do anything!
Similarly, Ling Tianhou's heart was also gloomy. Nine of the 12 life lanterns of the Twelve Swordsmen had been extinguished … Ling Tianhou's anger was still suppressed in his heart. After entering the Demon Spirit Land, he was going to find the Greedy Wolf and ask him about it.
At this moment, the three of them did not know that the trouble that troubled them, the three of them, was all because of one person!
Ling Tianhou pressed his palm down and opened the Demon Spirit Gate. He waved his sleeves and stepped out...
