The amount of celestial jades in Thunder Daoist's bag made Wang Lin suck in a breath of cold air. The amount of celestial jades was simply too large. Even a cultivation family couldn't compare.
"A small clue reveals a lot. A messenger of the Thunder Celestial Temple has so many celestial jades. This shows how powerful the Thunder Celestial Temple is!" Wang Lin didn't feel any joy from seeing so many celestial jades, but shock.
He silently pondered for a long time and his eyes shined brightly.
"Thunder Celestial Temple …"
Wang Lin took a deep breath, then his body flickered and he disappeared from the cave. The celestial guard followed closely behind.
In the eastern sky of the abandoned planet, Wang Lin floated in the sky and waved his hand. A thunderous rumble echoed and the entire planet trembled. Everything within 5,000 kilometers was flattened by a powerful force.
The area within 5,000 kilometers was as flat as a mirror. All the rocks that protruded out turned to dust. The wind created a violent vortex and the dust scattered in all directions.
There was even dust that floated into the air like white fog.
Wang Lin floated down and sat down in the center. He slapped his bag of holding and the celestial jades he had obtained from the three cultivation families flew out one by one and landed around him.
Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and the one-billion-soul soul flag flew out. All of the soul fragments turned into three primary souls that floated around. The celestial guard also floated in the air and carefully observed the surroundings. If anything tried to get close, it would immediately kill it.
After doing all of this, Wang Lin took a deep breath. His hands formed a seal and he closed his eyes.
A large amount of celestial spiritual energy suddenly spread out and formed a storm. Wang Lin continued to absorb it.
A moment later, all the celestial jades on the ground shattered and a large amount of celestial jades flew out from Wang Lin's bag of holding. This cycle continued for an eternity.
More and more celestial spiritual energy appeared in Wang Lin's body and his cultivation level continued to rise.
At this moment, in the distant Alliance Star System, there was an abandoned planet.
This planet was not big, even smaller than Suzaku, and there were no signs of life on it.
On this day, three sword lights sped through the starry sky. The person in the lead was a woman. This woman was wearing a light purple dress, simple yet elegant. She was charming and graceful, and her jade face was painted with light plum blossom makeup. Her clear and beautiful face revealed a hint of charm that could captivate one's soul.
This was especially true for her pair of glittering, watery eyes. When she looked at him, she was extremely beautiful. A faint fragrance came from her body and filled the surroundings.
On the right side of the woman's forehead, there were a few butterfly-shaped sequins that emitted a seven-colored light, adding to her beauty.
If Wang Lin was here, he would find this woman familiar. This woman was the one who swallowed the Qian Wind domain, left Suzaku, and then left Planet Five Elements' Heavenly River Palace, Zi Xin!
When she was being hunted by the Heavenly River Palace, she was saved by Yao Xixue's father, the Blood Ancestor. From then on, she became the Blood Ancestor's concubine.
Behind her were two old men covered in a blood-colored light. Their eyes were dim; it was obvious their minds were being controlled. These two were blood slaves refined by the Blood Ancestor!
Every one of these blood slaves had Ascendant cultivation.
Zi Xin's speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, she brought the two blood slaves to a small, inconspicuous planet in the distance.
Zi Xin's voice was very beautiful as she slowly asked, "This is the planet you were talking about?"
One of the blood slaves behind her respectfully said, "Mistress, this is the planet."
Zi Xin's eyes narrowed and fell on the small planet in the distance. Three months ago, a blood slave reported that there was a strange change on this small planet. It was as if the planet was gradually dying.
This planet was within the Blood Ancestor's sphere of influence. After the Blood Ancestor returned from the Demon Spirit Land, he had a gloomy expression. Not long after, he immediately left, and no one knew where he went.
Zi Xin pondered a bit, then she moved forward and brought the two blood slaves toward the small planet.
There was no life on this planet; it was a barren wasteland with cracks everywhere. When Zi Xin's group of three arrived, they immediately heard a thunderous rumble.
They saw even more cracks appear on the earth. Mountains in the distance suddenly collapsed, causing a large amount of dust to fly into the sky.
Even further away, there was a river about 1,000 feet wide. At this moment, it was dried up and filled with countless cracks.
One of the blood slaves behind Zi Xin said, "Although this planet was also barren 400 years ago, it wasn't this strange. However, as time passed, it was as if this planet had gone through its entire life in a short 400 years.
This is especially true in the last few decades! "A blood slave behind Zi Xin said.
Zi Xin's eyes lit up and her divine sense spread out. She wanted to extend it into the planet to check. However, just as her divine sense reached the depths of the planet, a cold voice filled with killing intent echoed.
A cold voice filled with endless murderous intent suddenly echoed in the air.
"Scram!"
This voice was several times more intense than thunder, and there was also a powerful might that rushed out. In that instant, more cracks appeared on the ground, and even the sky darkened. It was as if the sky did not dare to fight against this voice.
That voice also brought about countless echoes. As they overlapped with each other, it was as if there were countless voices roaring and fusing into one.
"Scram!!!"
In that instant, the entire planet began to collapse. Mountains collapsed, the earth caved in, and countless rifts opened up in the sky. Frigid winds howled. It was like hell on earth!
When this voice landed in Zi Xin's ears, her face became deathly pale. The two blood slaves behind her trembled and coughed out a large mouthful of blood.
Zi Xin's eyes were filled with terror. She didn't have time to think about why this voice was vaguely familiar. She respectfully bowed and said, "Junior didn't know this was Senior's closed door cultivation location. Sorry for disturbing you. I'll leave now."
Her scalp went numb and she quickly retreated without hesitation. The two blood slaves followed closely behind her. The three of them quickly flew out of the planet. In space, Zi Xin's eyes were filled with terror. She looked back at the planet and quickly left with the two blood slaves.
Not long after they left, the rumbling sounds from the small planet became even more intense. A moment later, the entire planet collapsed. It looked like a giant sphere filled with cracks. As more and more cracks appeared, the entire planet collapsed in an instant!
The moment it collapsed, a loud sound echoed across the stars. An invisible ripple spread out like crazy. Zi Xin's group of three's expressions changed at this moment.
The ripple was too fast and was about to reach them. Zi Xin's face turned pale and she shouted, "Blood slaves, self-destruct to stop it!"
The two blood slaves behind her didn't hesitate to charge toward the ripple and self-destruct their origin souls!
Using this gap, Zi Xin slapped her bag of holding and took out a blood-colored jade. This was something the Blood Ancestor had given her. It could teleport her back to the Blood Planet from any place.
However, it would take a certain amount of time to activate.
The planet collapsed into countless specks of dust that dissipated into space. After it completely dissipated, a half-naked man stood at the center of the collapse.
His red hair moved without any wind and his eyes were extremely cold. His skin was a bit rough and the veins on his skin were clear like ancient runes.
Between his eyebrows, four stars formed a circle and slowly rotated. However, one of the stars was dim in comparison, faintly discernible.
He was Wang Lin's original body!
His original body's expression was as cold as his eyes. It was like ice that hadn't melted for countless years. His body gave off an extremely cold aura.
The ripples from the collapse of the surrounding space seemed to have no effect on him; they couldn't penetrate his body at all. Wang Lin's original body looked into the distance and into the void.
"This planet no longer has any spiritual energy left, so I can no longer absorb it …" Wang Lin's original body pondered for a bit. He looked at the fragments of the collapsing planet and reached out with his right hand.
The surrounding fragments suddenly paused for a moment and an ancient aura slowly condensed. However, it didn't take long before it dissipated.
"I still need to practice this soul extraction spell a bit more!"
Wang Lin's original body took a step forward. With his powerful body, he didn't need any star compass or magical treasures to walk among the stars.
"Unfortunately, I still haven't found the aura of an adult ancient god. Otherwise, I could truly reach four stars … Could it be that I have to return to Suzaku again … I wonder when Tuo Sen will escape …" Wang Lin's original body stepped forward and gradually disappeared among the stars.
Several months later, Wang Lin's original body chose a hidden, desolate planet. His body entered the planet and he sat down in the lotus position with his eyes closed.
The reason why he had chosen this place was because this planet had a naturally formed layer of lightning.
Suzaku, Sea of Devils.
The fog around the Sea of Devils had dissipated a long time ago. The entire Sea of Devils had become a large basin.
In the depths of the Sea of Devils, there was a place called the Chaotic Broken Stars. This was a forbidden area of the Sea of Devils!
Anyone who approached this place would mysteriously disappear. Gradually, no one dared to come here anymore.
Inside the Chaotic Broken Stars, Land of the Ancient God.
Countless cultivators were sitting cross-legged in the sea of blood. As the sea of blood eroded them, their cultivation bases were slowly growing. The ancient cultivators, in particular, were getting stronger and stronger.
In the middle of the sea of blood, on top of the largest stone pillar sat a red-haired man with his legs crossed. A powerful aura was emitted from his body, an aura that could cause all living things in the world to tremble!
A rusty sword was stabbed into the ground beside the man. This sword was rusty and had dark brown blood stains on it.
At this moment, the sound of metal scraping against the ground could be heard. The red-haired man had his head lowered and his red hair covered his entire body. Through the gaps, one could see that he was using his sharp nails to carve the word "Wang Lin" on the ground.
If one looked closely, they would see that the entire stone pillar was already filled with these two words!
"Wang Lin …" A hoarse voice came from the red-haired man's mouth and echoed throughout the sea of blood. All of the cultivators inside the sea of blood trembled.
For countless years, the name "Wang Lin" had been engraved into their bones … "Wang Lin, I'm about to escape …"
Three months later, a person walked out of the Land of the Ancient God. This person had a red eyed monkey on his shoulder as he slowly walked out of the Sea of Devils.
He wasn't Tuo Sen, but a messenger sent by Tuo Sen!
This person's eyes were filled with hatred. If Wang Lin was here, he would immediately recognize this person as the long dead Sky Devil Magician!
If it wasn't for Wang Lin, the inheritance of memories would have been his.
As the teacher of Six Desire Devil Lord, his thousands of years of planning was ruined because of Wang Lin. His hatred for Wang Lin was no less than his hatred for Tuo Sen!
"Thunder Realm …" Sky Devil Magician's body flickered as he walked out of Suzaku.
Suzaku, Rosefinch's mountain peak.
Zhou Ru's long hair fluttered in the wind. Her white clothes fluttered in the wind. Compared to before, she looked even more mature.
Behind her, Little White was lying on the ground. Its tiger eyes revealed a lazy gaze.
In Zhou Ru's hand was a bag of holding. This bag of holding was very ancient and clearly had hundreds of years of history.
"Uncle, I can now open the bag of holding you left for me …"
Zhou Ru whispered as she looked down at the bag of holding in her hand. She gently inserted her divine sense into the bag and opened it.
There was nothing inside … There was only a flash of white light that landed between Zhou Ru's eyebrows.
Zhou Ru's body trembled as she let go of the bag of holding in her hand. The wind blew and the bag of holding floated far away.
Little White let out a roar and suddenly stood up. It looked at Zhou Ru. It didn't understand what had happened.
The white light disappeared between Zhou Ru's eyebrows. In her mind, a sealed memory was slowly unsealed … Everything in that memory reappeared in front of Zhou Ru's eyes.
"In these 19 years, I felt this child grow up bit by bit. Seeing her was like seeing my own child. Brother Wang … I couldn't bear it … Wan Er is very silly and let you down …"
After a long time, tears flowed down Zhou Ru's face. She gently lowered her head, hugged her knees, and sat on the ground. Her tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Little White, it turns out uncle didn't want me to go find him …"
At this moment, Wang Lin was absorbing celestial spiritual energy like crazy. The fragments of the celestial jades continued to spread around him, and there were more and more of them around him.
The amount of celestial jade needed to reach the late stage of Ascendant from the mid stage to the late stage was very large. It far exceeded the amount needed to reach the mid stage, but Wang Lin had a lot of celestial jade in his bag of holding, so it was enough.
However, Wang Lin found that after his origin soul changed, it was very different from before. Its absorption of celestial spiritual energy was like a bottomless pit.
Nearly half a year had passed, and a large amount of celestial jade was being consumed every day. However, his origin soul still hadn't reached saturation.
Time slowly passed, and the consumption of celestial jade became even greater. Another half a year passed, and on this day, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes. Lightning flashed in his eyes, and an aura that seemed to cause the entire earth to tremble came from his body.
Wang Lin stood up. His expression was calm as he looked at the sky and stepped forward.
"Late stage of Ascendant!"
This chapter was updated late, so I wrote and deleted a bit before it came out. I'm still not satisfied. I'll continue to write the third chapter, but with my speed, I'm afraid it will be a bit late. Please be patient, I won't be late!
Today is the weekend, so if you can afford it, please vote for me in the wee hours of the morning. Next week, I'll still put the celestial renegade on the recommendation list.
Also, please vote for me next month to make sure I'm in the top 10.
