He himself was dao. The heavens and earth were made up of countless daos, and this dao was him!
Wherever he looked, the countless glowing bodies would change. From life to death, from death to life. This was his life and death reincarnation dao.
The cycle of cause and effect. If there was cause and effect, there would naturally be cause. Just like Li Muwan's search for answers, just like Wang Ping and Qing Yi's ordinary life, this was his dao of cause and effect.
In a trance, Wang Lin felt like he understood something, but at the same time, he didn't understand anything.
This kind of confusion was like a tide that fluctuated in his mind. It became more and more intense until it turned into waves. Under the waves, his mind was shaken!
He had awakened!
The moment his mind became clear, Wang Lin felt like his origin soul was pushed out by a powerful force. When he opened his eyes, he was still standing outside the giant door between heaven and earth.
Nothing changed around him. Thunder was still roaring, and the purple light was still spreading. It was as if everything that had just happened was just a dream that Wang Lin's mind was in a trance before he entered the door.
So unreal, yet so real … The door opened a crack, but in his eyes, it slowly closed and disappeared, including the arm that was entangled by the purple lightning. All the purple light shrank and turned into the Heaven Defying Bead.
There was a mysterious change on this bead. The five elements engraved on it disappeared and were replaced by yin and yang. Yang was the sun and yin was the moon. They each occupied half of the heaven defying bead and didn't fuse with each other.
It floated toward Wang Lin's forehead and automatically entered.
Wang Lin was still standing in the air, motionless. His eyes slowly closed, but the unreal scene was still echoing in his mind.
Vaguely, he had an epiphany … As he stood there, it was as if he had once again forgotten the passage of time. The only thing left in his mind was the comprehension that kept reverberating in his mind. Bit by bit, he engraved the truth that he had felt in that unreal dream into his heart.
Wang Lin knew that everything in this dream was simply too precious. This level of preciousness was simply a great opportunity!!
He couldn't tell anyone, couldn't explain it, and didn't dare to say it. He even had a feeling that if it was Tian Yunzi and company, they would give up everything for this opportunity!
Even if they had to give up planet Tian Yun and all their treasures, Tian Yunzi and company would not hesitate to seek dao this time!
That was because it was very likely that this Dao Seeking would open the door to the mysterious third step that they had been searching for for tens of thousands of years, the dream they had been dreaming of, and the dream they had been desperately seeking!!
Those who seek dao live in the morning and die in the evening … Those who seek dao forget life and death … Wang Lin didn't know the full value of the heaven defying bead, but this was just the tip of the iceberg. It was something he would never forget and was extremely shocked.
The path of seeking dao didn't allow his cultivation level to increase, but it allowed his dao to sublimate. Before, when Wang Lin stood before the giant door, he would feel a sense of awe from the depths of his soul.
This was because the level was different. It was like a person looking at an ant; their state of mind would naturally be different.
However, although Wang Lin's state of mind hadn't reached the level of the door, he was still an ant. However, this ant was an ant that had seen the third step!
He had seen the third step!
With his mind immersed, the lake of Thunder below Wang Lin seemed to be attracted by something. The thunderous rumbles spread across the area and shook the heavens.
At this moment, a ray of thunder came from the layer of rubble. Inside the thunder was the armored Thunder Beast, and on its back was the black-haired man. His eyes were filled with vigilance as he charged into the depths of the rubble.
When he got close to this layer of rubble, he immediately felt that something was wrong. The fluctuations of the thunder were too intense, much different from when he was here before.
There was even an unimaginably powerful aura inside this thunder that shocked the black-haired man and made him extremely cautious.
He slowly passed through the layer of rubble. He was very familiar with this place. After all, he had come here many times to cultivate the Thunder Origin Spell, but this time had never shocked him like this.
His speed was very fast. After an unknown amount of time, he got closer and closer to the thunder prison. The closer he got, the stronger the feeling of fear became.
"What is happening up ahead!?"
The black-haired man's expression was gloomy. His cultivation was at the Corporeal Yang stage and was about to reach the peak of the Corporeal Yang stage. Then, he could enter the Nirvana Scryer stage. With his cultivation level, unless it was a powerful cultivator that had reached the second step, there weren't many things that could make him feel fear!
However, at this moment, this feeling became stronger and stronger.
After hesitating for a bit, he clenched his teeth and the Thunder Beast under him charged through the last piece of rubble. He saw the familiar thunder pool before him!
With one glance, he saw Wang Lin above the thunder pool. The current Wang Lin was simply too strange in the eyes of the black-haired man. Wang Lin was floating in the air and lightning was moving around his body. Large amounts of thunder roared out from his body and his hair moved without any wind.
The size of the lightning pool caused the black-haired man to suck in a breath of cold air. The lightning pool before him made him feel as if he had come to the wrong place. Compared to the last time he had come here, the lightning pool had actually shrunk by almost half!
It was originally endless, but now it seemed like he could see the end if he looked at it.
The appearance of this person was like a stone being thrown into a calm pool of water, creating invisible ripples. Wang Lin slowly opened his eyes!
This was a pair of indescribable eyes that seemed to contain the heavens and the earth, as well as all the laws of the world. It was as if this gaze could see through the heavens and the earth!
It was just like the giant arm that had appeared outside the door. It was shocking, and it made the soul tremble. Anyone who saw this gaze couldn't help but feel the reverence of an ant.
These eyes contained the true memories of Wang Lin's dream. At this moment, it was as if he was the heavens, as if he was the earth, as if he was the heavens!
This was the aura of the third step. Wang Lin's eyes weren't focused at this moment. They were calm and filled with confusion as he casually glanced at the black-haired man.
When this gaze landed on the black-haired man, it was as if countless bolts of lightning were striking him. It was as if he had cultivated the Thunder Origin Art and had attracted more lightning than he could handle.
His entire body seemed to be fixed in place, and he didn't move at all.
At this moment, the only thing left in his world was Wang Lin's gaze. At this moment, there was only this gaze in his life.
The thunder rumbled in his ears, but it felt like it was very far away. He could hear it clearly, but he couldn't feel it.
He didn't understand what kind of gaze this was, but this gaze contained a mysterious power that far surpassed his imagination. This power tore through his eyes, rushed into his mind, and shook his entire body.
Thump, thump, thump … His heartbeat reached its limit, as if it was about to explode.
At this moment, all the blood in his body began to circulate like crazy, along with all the origin energy in his body. At this moment, he was extremely shocked. It felt like if he didn't circulate his origin energy, he would collapse under this gaze!
"What kind of power is this!!!"
The black-haired man couldn't move his body at all. The origin energy in his body cycled like crazy. Even if it dissipated, even if it was wasted, he didn't care. His mouth was dry and his body was covered in sweat. His clothes were already soaked, but at this moment, he seemed to have gone crazy and couldn't move his gaze away.
With his cultivation level, this was the first time he had felt such a terrifying power. Even when he faced the Thunder Celestial Temple Lord, he didn't feel this terrifying.
Wang Lin's gaze calmly looked at the black-haired man. Traces of dao seeking remained in his eyes. He only saw a person. It didn't matter if it was a cultivator or a mortal. It was as if at this moment, the other person was only an ant in his eyes.
In the dreamland of seeking the Dao, his gaze was the Dao. Wherever his gaze went, the glowing object would expand and rapidly complete its life.
At this moment, his eyes fell on the black-haired man with such a gaze.
This person was like the glowing object in the dream. However, he was not slowly expanding. Instead, he was rapidly dissipating from his current state.
Layer by layer, it didn't stop.
The shock in the black-haired man's eyes had reached its peak. He had never felt so close to death before. When the black-haired man's gaze landed on him, he immediately felt his primordial spirit burning. The origin energy in his body, at this moment, seemed to be out of his control. It immediately turned into a ball of invisible flames!
The other person's gaze contained a terrifying power that made it so he couldn't resist at all. It was as if the heavens were telling him to go back … Go back … It was as if he was an ant, and the fear from the depths of his soul spread throughout his body.
Not only him, but the Thunder Beast he was sitting on felt this even more. Its body began to rapidly disintegrate like dust … All of this happened in an instant. The dao seeking in Wang Lin's eyes disappeared. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
The black-haired man's entire body collapsed as he woke up from that terrifying feeling. His body was drenched in sweat and more than half of the origin energy in his body had dissipated. His origin soul had shrunk by a size and his body was extremely weak. He stared at Wang Lin, and the horror in his eyes occupied his entire mind.
"Too terrifying!!!
What … what kind of gaze is this? What cultivation level is this person at!!! "
The black-haired man gasped. His body trembled and his face was pale. He deeply regretted coming here. If he didn't come here, he wouldn't have experienced that terrifying scene just now.
He didn't doubt that if the mysterious power in the other person's eyes continued to stare at him for a few more breaths, his body would immediately collapse and all signs of life would be erased.
He wouldn't even be able to escape with his origin soul.
The Thunder Beast beneath him was the same. It stared at Wang Lin with fear in its eyes. With the Thunder Beast's pride, it wouldn't surrender even if it died. But facing that gaze, it wasn't as simple as death, it was a pressure that came from a higher level!
