Wang Lin didn't reveal his intense emotions. He calmed down a bit and his eyes gradually became calm. However, behind this calmness, there was a fire burning in his heart.
He didn't step forward first but waited for people to state their requests before he slowly stepped forward. He clasped his hands at Master Flamespark and respectfully said, "Junior has a request!"
Master Flamespark looked at Wang Lin and calmly said, "Xu Mu, state your request."
"Junior's request is for a broken nascent soul that is in deep sleep to reform its body and awaken!"
Wang Lin said in a serious tone. His expression didn't change at all, but his heart pounded as if it was going to jump out of his chest.
"Oh?"
Master Flamespark's eyes narrowed and he pondered a bit. He looked at old man Xiang and said, "This request is not difficult. The Xiang family has a spell called the Soul Connection Spell. This spell is said to have endless uses and should be able to meet your request. Fellow Cultivator Xiang, what do you think?"
Old man Xiang faintly smiled. He admired Wang Lin a lot. When he heard this, he smiled and said, "I presume Xu Mu, the nascent soul you speak of must have suffered a serious injury after its body was destroyed. This matter is not difficult!
First, take out the nascent soul and let the Old Man check it! "
Wang Lin silently pondered. Li Muwan was extremely important to him and irreplaceable. She was someone he had to protect in his life. At this moment, he hesitated a bit before slapping his bag of holding. A ball of soft light flew out.
During the first three days of cultivation at the Thunder Celestial Temple, Wang Lin had already taken out Li Muwan's nascent soul from the heaven defying bead without anyone noticing. He carefully sealed it with the Annihilation Restriction Heart so that the nascent soul wouldn't dissipate.
All of this was for this moment.
Holding the sphere of light in his right hand, Wang Lin touched it with his left hand. Immediately, the sphere of light bloomed like a flower and split into pieces, revealing a cross-legged Nascent Soul.
That Nascent Soul was none other than Li Muwan. Her face was pale white as she sat there cross-legged. She radiated a sense of weakness, as if the slightest gust of wind would cause her to vanish and vanish forever.
Li Muwan was surrounded by a fluorescent glow that made her seem holy and pure, as if she were a celestial maiden from the Immortal World who had descended into the mortal world to land in Wang Lin's hands.
Even though Li Muwan was in a deep sleep and had never woken up, people could still vaguely feel her gentleness and kindness with her eyes closed.
Her appearance was very graceful. She did not have Liu Mei's peerless beauty, nor did she have Red Butterfly's arrogance. However, in Wang Lin's heart, all these were nothing!
Li Muwan was in his arms. Back then, her hair had turned white, and the clouds and mud had changed. In an instant, everything changed.
In the blink of an eye, everything turned to ashes, leaving only one sentence that forever echoed in Wang Lin's heart.
"Even if the heavens want you to die, I'll take you back!!"
For this sentence, Wang Lin came to the Luo Tian Temple. For this sentence, he stood before the Thunder Celestial Temple!
The moment Wang Lin took out Li Muwan's nascent soul, Xi Zifeng, who had been staring at Wang Lin, collapsed. Her face was pale and her body trembled. It was as if she could hear the sound of her own heart breaking.
"So … the reason he went through all these tests to get first place was because of this woman …" Tears flowed down from the corner of Xi Zifeng's eyes. She stared at the nascent soul in Wang Lin's hand and a wave of heartache filled her with bitterness.
"To be able to let her lover do this … Although this woman's nascent soul is damaged and has fallen asleep, this is still a blessing."
Shimizu looked at Wang Lin and the nascent soul in his hand. His eyes revealed a hint of melancholy. Many, many years ago, he also had a woman that he had to protect for a lifetime. However … Shimizu's eyes were filled with pain.
Old man Xiang looked at Li Muwan's nascent soul and his smile immediately froze. His eyes shined brightly as he stared at Li Muwan's nascent soul. He slowly frowned and asked, "How long has this nascent soul been asleep?"
Wang Lin took a deep breath. At this moment, his 1,000 years of cultivation seemed extremely fragile. He suppressed his trembling mind and softly said, "Nearly 700 years."
Old man Xiang nodded slightly and said, "It seems you put in a lot of effort to preserve your nascent soul for 700 years.
However … seven hundred years was too long.
How can a nascent soul cultivator survive for 700 years?
Not to mention, without a physical body, only a nascent soul!
Most importantly, this nascent soul is on the verge of death!
Xu Mu, change your request. "
Old man Xiang sighed. He wanted to help Xu Mu, so he gave him the option of changing his request.
Old man Xiang's voice was like a sharp needle that pierced Wang Lin's heart. The pain was indescribable. It was as if the world was collapsing in front of him. The only thing left was a desolate echo, as if everything was no longer there.
This pain caused the vitality in Wang Lin's body to show signs of extinguishing in an instant.
The only thing he could hear was Old man Xiang's voice. Each word was like the rumbling of thunder, echoing over and over again.
"Is there really no way …" Wang Lin's eyes were filled with extreme sorrow as he looked at Li Muwan.
Old man Xiang let out a long sigh and carefully looked at Li Muwan's nascent soul again. He shook his head and said, "If Old Man's guess is correct, this woman's nascent soul was extracted by you using a special method when her lifespan came to an end. You nourished it, but at the critical moment when the nourishment was about to succeed, something unexpected happened. This woman's nascent soul was unable to withstand it. Although you have preserved it until now, the truth is that she is already on the verge of death.
"With my strength, I cannot help you … She is someone who should have died. Forcefully keeping her alive is a painful thing for both you and her!
"The only thing I can help you with is to send her into the cycle of reincarnation."
Wang Lin's body swayed and he took a few steps back. His face was extremely pale and he coughed up a mouthful of mind blood. With a bitter smile, he looked at Li Muwan's nascent soul.
Scenes of Li Muwan flashed before his eyes.
The pain of his heart filled his entire body. This pain was bone-piercing and unforgettable.
Two streams of tears flowed down from Wang Lin's eyes. The number of times he had shed tears in his life could be counted on one hand, but this time, he was crying.
As he looked at Li Muwan, an unyielding flame ignited in Wang Lin's heart.
"Even if the heavens want you to die, I will take you back. Wan Er, this is my promise to you!"
Wang Lin lifted his right hand and took hold of Li Muwan's nascent soul. The seal around it immediately shrank until it was once again a small ball.
Old man Xiang was silent. After a long time, he suddenly said, "It's not like there is no way at all!"
Wang Lin's body trembled as tens of thousands of thunderous booms filled his mind. At this moment, all of the power in his body entered his eyes and focused on old man Xiang.
"However, the price of this method is too great.
"The main reason this woman cannot survive is because her lifespan is insufficient. If we can make up for her lifespan, perhaps she will have a chance to live.
"However, this divine ability is called the Qixi Art. The Old Man cannot use it. Only the ancestor of the Xiang Clan who is in seclusion can use it.
Xu Mu, I have to remind you that to use this Qi Xi Divine Ability, you need the life force of someone who is extremely close to the woman. Only then will there be no rejection. However, the life force of the person who provides the life force will be reduced, and this reduction will not be the same. It's very possible that you will need to use ninety percent of your life force for the woman to have a slight chance of recovering.
"However, it will only be a small amount. If you don't succeed, you will not be able to recover your lifespan. Think about it carefully. If you agree, the Old Man can ask the ancestor to help you once!"
The surroundings were silent. Old man Xiang's voice echoed throughout the world and landed in everyone's ears. At this moment, all the cultivators in the Luo Tian Star System heard his words.
To sacrifice a large portion of one's life force for an uncertain chance for a woman, was it worth it or not …? This was the question in the hearts of all the cultivators who heard this.
Old man Xiang really admired Wang Lin. He said these words in front of all the cultivators in the Luo Tian Star System without any selfishness or malice.
"I agree!"
Wang Lin said slowly as he looked at the restriction ball in his hand. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the restriction ball and land on Li Muwan's body.
His voice was a bit hoarse, and his gaze seemed to fuse with the restriction ball. A sense of sadness filled Li Muwan's heart.
Li Muwan seemed to hear this voice. Her nascent soul trembled and tried to open its eyes, but it didn't have any strength. All that was left was endless exhaustion and sadness.
Wang Lin knew that the so-called lifespan actually came from vitality. The stronger the vitality, the longer the lifespan. When a cultivator's cultivation level increased, their vitality would also increase. This way, the higher their cultivation level, the longer their lifespan would be.
Old man Xiang nodded and said, "Since you agree, then once this celestial bestowal is over, come with me to planet Dong Lin!"
The reminiscence in Shimizu's eyes was still there. At this moment, there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes as he calmly said, "Xu Mu, I'll go with you!"
Wang Lin looked at Shimizu with gratitude in his eyes and nodded.
He knew that Shimizu was worried that something would happen to him on planet Dong Lin. Shimizu wanted to go with him to ensure that everything went smoothly.
After this, the rest of the people also made their requests. It was worth mentioning that Xu Ting and Nangong Han's requests were the same. They both wanted to enter the Thunder Celestial Temple's Hidden Celestial Pavilion to learn celestial spells. Once all 36 Heaven Celestials obtained their requests, the celestial bestowal ended!
The moment it ended, Master Flamespark's laughter echoed. He floated up from the praying mat and his robe fluttered. His eyes shined brightly and he shouted, "Fellow cultivators, help me open the passage to the Alliance. The war is about to begin!"
