Suzaku, where the Forsaken Immortal Clan used to be, sat an old man in the lotus position outside the deep pit. The old man was wearing a red robe and had white hair. There was a plant flashing between his eyebrows with 11 leaves, but there was still half a leaf at the top of the 11th leaf.
If this half leaf was completely opened, the old man would immediately become a 12-leaf Forsaken Immortal Clan member!
In the Forsaken Immortal Clan, a 12-leaf Forsaken Immortal Clan member was equivalent to an Illusory Yin cultivator!
The old man quietly sat there, motionless, as if he was an eternal being.
On this day, four rays of light flew over. The old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the sky.
His eyes lit up and he was about to speak when his body trembled and he stared at one of the four rays of light.
Wang Lin landed on the ground and looked at the deep pit and the old man staring at Ta Shan. After pondering for a bit, he slowly said, "Senior Yunque Zi, long time no see."
The old man was Yunque Zi. His eyes were filled with shock as he withdrew his gaze from Ta Shan. A huge wave was set off in his heart as he looked at Wang Lin and bitterly said, "Cultivators come first, so there is no need to call me senior. Fellow cultivator Wang Lin, is this person a member of my Forsaken Immortal Clan?"
Yunque Zi pointed at Ta Shan.
Ta Shan's expression was cold and he didn't even look at Yunque Zi.
"He is a member of the Forsaken Immortal Clan!" Wang Lin let out a sigh as he stepped into the deep pit.
Ta Shan followed closely behind. As for the big-headed boy, he smiled foolishly at Yunque Zi and followed behind.
The moment he saw the big-headed boy's smile, a pressure that came from the soul came from Yunque Zi's body. His face immediately turned pale and the complex expression in his eyes became even stronger.
Lei Ji also followed behind. He was in awe of Wang Lin, especially when he saw Wang Lin's spell that could change the spiritual energy in Suzaku. This shocked him even more. He had heard of this spell a long time ago. Only those famous cultivators in the Alliance Star System could do this.
Skylark bitterly smiled, then her body flickered and she entered the deep pit.
Along the way, Wang Lin's speed wasn't fast as he slowly moved through the Forsaken Immortal Clan. By now, almost all of the Forsaken Immortal Clan members had left, so there was no one left.
As he descended layer by layer, Wang Lin remembered that the deepest he went was the 11th layer. In the 11th layer, he met the Forsaken Immortal Clan's third ancestor and was hunted by her. In the end, he took out the scroll with the Xiang family's woman sealed inside to escape.
From what the third ancestor of the Forsaken Immortal Clan had said, Wang Lin knew that this scroll had some connection to the Forsaken Immortal Clan.
The lower they went, the darker the surroundings became. Perhaps because no one had lived here for hundreds of years, there was no sign of life in this place, only dense Yin Qi.
If it was before, with Wang Lin's cultivation, he would've felt uncomfortable under this Yin Qi. As he went deeper, he would've been forced back by the Yin Qi and wouldn't be able to move forward.
However, this Yin Qi was insignificant to Wang Lin. He didn't even need to use his origin energy. The Yin Qi seemed to have intelligence and didn't dare to get close to him.
As he went deeper, the Yin Qi formed a rapidly rotating vortex before Wang Lin as if it was opening a path for him.
As he walked, Wang Lin continued to ponder. The Forsaken Immortal Clan and the Chosen Immortal Clan were obviously the same clan. He was already somewhat sure about this, and after seeing Skylark's performance before the big-headed boy, he was even more certain that his guess was correct.
This clan wasn't afraid of the celestial spiritual energy from celestial jades, but the celestial spiritual energy from celestials would make their souls yield.
The key to all of this was celestial spiritual energy!
Thinking about celestial spiritual energy, Wang Lin felt a bit distressed. The celestial spiritual energy in his body was given to him by Shimizu, so it wasn't infinite. Every time he used a celestial spell, it would consume a bit of celestial spiritual energy. If he didn't have a way to replenish it, it would all be used up.
The celestial spells that Shimizu inherited, Summon the Rain and Magic Arsenal, had very high requirements for celestial spiritual energy. Without a certain amount of celestial spiritual energy, it would be impossible to study them, much less use them.
This was the reason why Qing Shui wanted Wang Lin to enter the celestial pool, and it was also why he gave Wang Lin the celestial beans.
However, there were too many drawbacks to entering the celestial pool, so Wang Lin didn't want to choose it. However, although he had celestial spiritual energy in his body, he had tried many methods to replenish it. He had even tried to absorb celestial spiritual energy from celestial jades, but he still couldn't form celestial spiritual energy in his body.
After taking in the big-headed boy, Wang Lin also tried, but he still couldn't do it.
Feeling helpless, he could only use as little celestial spiritual energy as possible.
It didn't take long before Wang Lin arrived at the 11th floor for the second time.
This 11th floor wasn't big, and there were many gullies dug into the ground. These gullies connected to form a strange symbol. Red liquid flowed through these gullies, and what entered Wang Lin's eyes was this blood-red symbol.
The 11th floor was completely empty except for the sound of the red liquid flowing on the ground.
Yunque Zi looked at this place and slowly said, "This is one of my Forsaken Immortal Clan's ancestral tattoos. This place has a total of 19 floors. Aside from the earliest ancestor, the next generation can only enter the 16th floor at most. No one can enter the last three floors."
Wang Lin nodded. He spread out his divine sense and found the entrance to the 12th floor. In a flash, he charged toward the entrance.
12th floor, Shi San's floor, 14th floor, 15th floor, 16th floor. With Wang Lin's cultivation level, he arrived at the 16th floor without any obstruction!
There were also blood-red tattoos on the ground in the 16th floor, but these tattoos were even more complex. Just looking at them would make one feel like they were in a trance. Wang Lin's eyes narrowed. There were two coffins of Shi San here, and each of them had tattoos flashing on them.
At the very center of this place was a black pool of water that emitted waves of cold air. Strangely, the red liquid flowing in the surrounding symbols came from the pool of water, forming a cycle. However, when the liquid entered the pool, it turned black, and when it flowed out, it emitted a red glow.
"This place is a bit interesting." Wang Lin stepped forward and arrived next to the pool. He took a closer look.
"Before, only the twelve-leaf ancestor could enter the 16th floor. These coffins should all be the ancestors of my Forsaken Immortal Clan.
"Rumor has it that the 18th floor contains the source energy of my Forsaken Immortal Clan!
As for the 19th layer, there is the soul fragment of my Forsaken Immortal Clan's first ancestor from countless years ago … Fellow Cultivator Wang Lin, if you can break through to the 18th layer, please consider our past relationship and let me comprehend my ancestor's essence. "
He looked at Wang Lin before him. The little child in his mind gradually disappeared and was replaced by a powerful cultivator that could make Suzaku collapse with a stomp of his foot.
During this period of time, he sometimes wondered if this powerful cultivator would still exist if he hadn't helped Suzaku reach the Soul Formation stage … Wang Lin looked at Yunque Zi and nodded.
Yunque Zi had helped him before, although he found out about Yunque Zi's goal.
The cold aura coming from the black water was very strong, and there was a seal on it. From Wang Lin's point of view, even someone at the peak of the Corporeal Yang stage might not be able to break it.
In addition, the seal had a requirement for bloodline. If one didn't have the bloodline of the Forsaken Immortal Clan, it would be even more difficult to enter.
"No wonder no one has been able to enter the 17th floor. This kind of seal is not something an ordinary cultivator can open."
Wang Lin pondered as he stared at the black pool. He naturally had his reasons for coming to the Forsaken Immortal Clan.
The reason was that when he was fighting the Yao family in the Luo Tian Star System, the Yao family took out a yellow talisman. That talisman contained a mysterious power that sealed all of his power!
That scene was still fresh in Wang Lin's mind. He also had a talisman on him.
After pondering a bit, Wang Lin calmly said, "Big-headed boy, use your full power and use your most powerful celestial spell on the pool!"
The big-headed boy didn't waste any time. He activated the celestial origin energy in his body and a powerful celestial spiritual energy erupted from his body. It turned into a celestial spiritual energy storm that attracted the might of the heavens.
Yunque Zi was the first to be unable to withstand it. He subconsciously retreated and his face became pale. It was as if there was a will in his soul that was forcing him to yield. If he didn't yield, it would tear him apart.
Under this will, Yunque Zi let out a roar and the veins on his face swelled up as he desperately struggled.
Fortunately, the big-headed boy wasn't targeting Yunque Zi, so he had a chance to struggle. The big-headed boy activated all of his celestial origin energy and pointed to his ear. His head immediately changed and doubled in size. Green and red veins popped out of his eyebrows, forming a powerful force that charged at the pool.
However, with a loud bang, the pool immediately fluctuated and slowly rotated.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He could see at a glance that the seal on the pool was showing signs of breaking under the attack of the big-headed boy. However, the signs weren't obvious. Just as the seal was about to dissipate, Wang Lin's right hand formed a sword and his eyes were filled with Thunder Intent. The power of the world's thunder seemed to gather from all directions and surrounded Wang Lin's fingertips. As he stepped forward, he pointed at the pool.
With this point, endless thunder came out and rushed into the pool like a Thunder Dragon through Wang Lin's fingers. There was a loud bang and a large amount of cracks appeared on the ground of the 16th floor. As the cold aura spread out, huge waves were set off in the pool. The entire pool floated up violently and turned into a black rune.
This rune was too complex, and it was so dense that it was impossible to see the pattern.
However, Wang Lin didn't need to see the pattern. He wasn't trying to gain the approval of the seal, he was trying to break it by force!
