Half a year later, on the abandoned planet where Wang Lin's cave was located, a muffled rumble echoed. The entire planet trembled and a large amount of dust was kicked into the air. It was as if there was a thick fog covering the world.
Wang Lin walked out from the thick fog of dust with a frown.
Behind him followed a skinny puppet. There was endless lightning flashing on the puppet's fist.
In the end, Thunder Daoist chose to compromise. However, Wang Lin had underestimated the failure rate of the celestial guard puppet. Even with the Thunder Beast from the Thunder Celestial Temple, it still failed at the last step.
"The strength of a low quality celestial guard is equivalent to the peak of the first step. When I refined the first celestial guard, I added the Heavenly Ghost to it, causing some changes. That's why it reached the Illusory Yin stage.
"The second celestial guard was refined with an Illusory Yin cultivator and the Thunder Beast. Originally, it should have been possible to refine a mid quality celestial guard, but unfortunately, it still failed."
Wang Lin let out a sigh. Many things in this world seemed to be in control, but in the end, it was just an illusion.
"My dao heart is a bit impetuous!"
Wang Lin squeezed out the helplessness in his heart and regained his usual calmness. He looked back at the corpse behind him and began to ponder.
Wang Lin found it difficult to mutter to himself, "It's not like I didn't gain anything!"
After the second celestial guard failed, Thunder Daoist's origin soul lost its consciousness and turned into a strange ball of light that fused with his body. At the same time, the Thunder Beast's origin soul was also ground up and fused with his body.
"Peak of silver level!"
Wang Lin withdrew his gaze. Although he had failed, the moment he failed, he had decisively cut off the connection to Thunder Daoist's origin soul and gave up on refining it. This caused the celestial guard to go from the third step to the first step.
At this moment, he had obtained a peak silver level body. This body could be considered a semi-finished celestial guard. It couldn't use any spells, but the strength of its body was indeed shocking.
If Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit could leave his body, he could barely control it. However, his Primordial Spirit could not leave his body. Using his Divine Sense, he could only indirectly guide it and make it perform some simple actions, such as the punch just now.
This kind of guidance couldn't be used in battle. In truth, even if Wang Lin's origin soul could leave his body, he wouldn't be able to control it like he could control his body. He would be rejected by the remnant of Thunder Daoist's origin soul.
Once the refined Celestial Guard reached the first step, it could only be controlled by the origin soul of the original body. Once the third step failed, it would be impossible for anyone to control it.
Unless one's cultivation was several realms higher than the puppet's, they would be able to exist eternally through possession.
Wang Lin's eyes were calm. He put the second immortal guard into his storage bag and turned to walk back into the cave.
There were too many things he had to do, and the Celestial Guardian was only one of them. After he calmed himself down, the vexation from failing to refine the Celestial Guardian vanished into thin air.
"Right now, I need to raise my cultivation level to the same level as my domain!" Inside the cave, Wang Lin sat down in the lotus position. His eyes lit up as he looked ahead.
The three primary souls had long been put away by him, and the seven star sword was the same. As for the celestial guard and Ling Tianhou's two rays of sword energy, they were still inside the cave.
The Immortal Guard puppet stood to the side, faintly looking at the Thunder Beast lying on the ground not far away. The Thunder Beast had its third seal undone.
Ling Tianhou's two rays of sword energy floated in the air. They gave off powerful sword energy and vaguely whistled through the air.
Wang Lin's gaze was on the Thunder Beast that had its third seal released.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was a life and death situation, Wang Lin wouldn't have released the third seal on the Thunder Beast before he was fully prepared. After all, the God Slaying War Chariot was very difficult to control, and if he wasn't careful, he would suffer a backlash.
However, in this past half a year, the Thunder Beast's behavior was very strange. It didn't show any signs of backlash and would even carry out all of Wang Lin's orders.
However, there was one thing about this beast: no matter how many spells Wang Lin used, it completely ignored him.
It wouldn't return to the God Slaying War Chariot and return to his bag of holding.
After the third seal was released, the Thunder Beast was three times larger than before. It looked even more majestic, and there was even more gold on its silver horn.
When Wang Lin looked at it, the Thunder Beast raised its big head and looked at Wang Lin. Then it spat out two rays of thunder from its nose and moved around its body.
When the human and beast looked at each other, Wang Lin had a feeling that this beast was even more intelligent. It could even be said that it had a real soul.
Although the Thunder Beast from before was arrogant, its eyes weren't as intelligent as they were now.
Perhaps it was tired of looking at it, but the Thunder Beast withdrew its gaze and let out a roar. Its body flickered, then it turned into a ray of thunder and disappeared into the distance.
Wang Lin wryly smiled. During this half a year, the beast had been like this a lot. It would often go out for several days before returning.
After pondering a bit, Wang Lin's eyes revealed a decisive gaze.
"Since this beast isn't willing to return to my bag of holding, then I'll let it be!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and the two rays of Ling Tianhou's sword energy entered his body. As for the celestial guard, it stood at the entrance of the cave to protect Wang Lin.
Wang Lin took out a bag of holding. This bag of holding belonged to Thunder Daoist. After Thunder Daoist's origin soul dissipated and fused with the second celestial guard, the bag of holding became ownerless and no divine sense imprint was left on it.
There were a lot of things inside the bag of holding. Aside from some common items, there were only four things that interested Wang Lin. The first was a piece of jade.
There was a ferocious Thunder Beast carved on the front of the jade. This Thunder Beast had a golden horn on its head and its body was covered in lightning. It looked very powerful.
On the back of the jade was a giant rune.
Wang Lin didn't know the meaning of the rune, but after a bit of analysis, he was able to guess its use.
Ordinary jades wouldn't have such an engraving. It was obvious that this item had the effect of a token.
His divine sense spread out and a ray of lightning appeared to stop Wang Lin from going in.
Wang Lin's expression was neutral as he carefully examined the lightning that was stopping his divine sense. Shortly after, he revealed a smile.
"Could it be that I really have the potential to become a messenger of the Thunder Celestial Temple …" Wang Lin's smile was a bit strange. This lightning could stop most cultivators and even some second step cultivators.
However, it had no effect on Wang Lin.
The lightning this item gave off contained a trace of heavenly thunder. This was the true might of heavenly thunder. It was obvious that if one didn't cultivate a spell from the Thunder Celestial Temple, they wouldn't be able to see it at all.
However, Wang Lin had devoured half an ancient thunder dragon, so the Thunder in his origin soul came from ancient times. It was on a higher level than this jade. At this moment, the thunder in his origin soul moved and his divine sense easily broke through the lightning to see what was inside the jade.
Even with Wang Lin's mental fortitude, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. There were only two spells recorded inside the jade. One was the Cauldron Transforms the World!
Using one's own dao intent to form a cauldron and fuse it with one's own origin energy to form a shocking origin energy spell!
It was obvious that this spell had been used by Thunder Daoist. Wang Lin had a deep understanding of this spell.
"Unfortunately, this spell has a very high requirement for origin energy. Without reaching the Illusory Yin stage, I can't use it."
Wang Lin's divine sense landed on the second spell. This spell was called the Thunder Origin Spell!
This Thunder Origin Spell was the real reason why Wang Lin was so shocked!
"Thunder Origin Spell, an incomplete low-quality celestial spell. Absorbs origin energy from the heavenly thunder into the body. This allows one to condense origin energy faster and reduce the time one stays at the Yin and Yang stage.
This spell is extremely tyrannical. First step cultivators can't withstand heavenly thunder, so they can't cultivate it. "
Wang Lin's heart pounded. Ordinary cultivators couldn't withstand heavenly thunder, but he had coincidentally obtained a thunder origin soul. For him, the value of this spell was unimaginable.
Even if a real low-quality celestial spell was placed before him, it wouldn't be as valuable as this Thunder Origin Spell. Although it was only an incomplete low-quality celestial spell, it was what Wang Lin needed the most right now.
"No wonder the Thunder Celestial Temple is so powerful in the Luo Tian Star System. With this Thunder Origin Spell, I can absorb origin energy from the heavenly thunder much faster than most people."
Wang Lin's eyes shined brightly and he revealed a smile.
"Cultivating this Thunder Origin Spell, the Cauldron Transforms the World, and the Thunder Beast, even a real messenger of the Thunder Celestial Temple would be shocked by me …"
After memorizing the spell inside the jade, Wang Lin carefully put it away and looked at the next item.
This item was a sword. This sword had no body and was completely made of lightning. Wang Lin had seen Thunder Daoist use this treasure to fight against the celestial guard. Even the celestial guard's fist couldn't break this sword.
Looking at this sword, Wang Lin pondered a bit before putting it away.
The third item was a fist-sized silver stone that also contained the power of thunder. This item attracted a lot of Wang Lin's interest. He carefully examined it with his divine sense before raising his right hand and gently touching it.
The moment his hand touched it, a large amount of thunder came from the stone and entered Wang Lin's body through his finger.
If it was an ordinary cultivator, they would have been seriously injured by this Thunder. However, Wang Lin's origin soul opened its mouth and immediately devoured the Thunder.
The moment the thunder dissipated, a strand of origin energy that caused Wang Lin's body to tremble spread out from his body. This origin energy was very small, only a sliver, but it caused Wang Lin's eyes to shine brightly.
He took a deep breath and stared at the stone. After hesitating for a long time, he gave up on the idea of completely absorbing it and put it away inside his bag of holding.
The last item was something Wang Lin was familiar with, the celestial jade.
His promise on Friday exploded on Sunday and he would do what he said. Today was Sunday, so there was no need to say anything. Third night!
(Fourth night is a bit unbearable. The writing is all messed up.)
