Seeing Wang Lin's decisiveness, Xuan Luo's eyes narrowed, but didn't stop Wang Lin. He watched Wang Lin walk toward the 201st step.
The pressure from Mount Gu Dao formed an indescribable pressure and smashed down on Wang Lin as he stepped onto the 201st step.
The gap in power between the 200th step and the 201st step was great. If before it was a raging wave that Wang Lin had to exhaust all his power and burn his Grand Empyrean sun outline to barely cross, then now it was the entire sea smashing down on him.
After just one step, Wang Lin's face became even more pale. His body trembled and blood continued to flow out from the corner of his mouth. His bones were being squeezed, his flesh and blood torn, his origin soul about to shatter, and his soul was going to be wiped out!
He was like a lonely boat in the sea. He was extremely fragile when facing the power of the entire sea!
However, Wang Lin didn't back down. Even if continuing this path would be very dangerous, Wang Lin didn't want to and was unwilling to give up this chance! This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance; this was perhaps his last chance since the last time he had failed to fuse them!
Once he gave up, not only would he fail the fusion, but it would create a shadow in Wang Lin's heart. This was a shadow toward Gu Dao, the irresistible existence. This could create a fear that would linger for a long time and cause Wang Lin great harm.
"Grand Empyrean Gu Dao… I must walk past these 300 steps!" Wang Lin's face became distorted and the pain inside and outside his body made him want to roar at the sky. However, he suppressed it and saved the power of this roar inside his body to take the second step.
When he took the second step, Wang Lin's mind rumbled and his body trembled violently, but he clearly felt the celestial and ancient power inside his body being fused by force by this pressure.
However, as they fused, a shocking rejection force appeared. If not for the pressure from the mountain, Wang Lin would've had no way of stopping this rejection force, and the fusion would've failed once more.
However, now there was no need for Wang Lin to suppress it. The pressure from the Mount Gu Dao played the role of suppressing the rejection force.
He struggled as he took the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth steps!
Although he was trembling, his body contained an amazing tenacity. This tenacity supported his backbone, allowing him to look up when he faced anyone!
The seventh step, the eighth step! Wang Lin stepped onto the 208th step. The veins on his face swelled and creaking sounds echoed inside his body as if bones were rubbing against each other!
But his eyes still revealed an unyielding gaze. He felt his celestial and ancient powers rapidly fusing under this pressure. At this moment, he felt like something was different!
"The ancient power is on the outside and celestial cultivation is inside. The fusion of celestial and ancient power into one…" Wang Lin raised his foot and took the ninth step and 10th step onto the 210th step!
The moment his foot landed, Wang Lin's essence cultivation and ancient power finally fused a sliver under the intense pressure from the outside!
This trace of fused power was a mix of celestial and ancient. It contained both celestial and ancient powers, but it was also Wang Lin's own power!
The moment this power appeared, a scene appeared in the sky. This shocked Xuan Luo and caused the figure inside the fog at the top of the tower to open his eyes!
The sky instantly turned from blue to gold. The golden sky shined brightly and spread in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the sky within hundreds of thousands of kilometers turned golden!
This golden sky could even be seen from very far away - it was a shocking sight!
This gold was not formed by spells. In the entire Ancient clan, such a natural golden sky that was not caused by spells had never appeared before.
The appearance of this scene caused Xuan Luo to look up, and his eyes reflected the golden sky.
The Ancient clan's earth was black, but under the golden sky, it was countless times more intense. The entire earth was covered in this endless black!
The moment someone looked at this black earth, their heart would tremble!
This was...
"Nine songs three signs. The first sign, golden sky and black earth!!" Xuan Luo took a deep breath.
The nine songs three signs were phenomena that appeared when the Celestial Ancestor and Ancient Ancestor were born. The nine songs were for the Ancient Ancestor and the three signs were for the Celestial Ancestor. Aside from their births, these phenomena had never taken place elsewhere.
But today, it was happening on Mount Gu Dao. The golden sky and black earth gave off an unspeakable sense of strangeness. The surroundings immediately became quiet.
Wang Lin faced everything as if he couldn't see any of it. The only thought in his mind was to reach the 300th step and, during the process, fuse his celestial and ancient powers!
The moment the golden sky and black earth appeared, Wang Lin's right foot stepped onto the 211th step. The mountain seemed to rumble and Wang Lin felt countless mountains weighing down upon him, but he didn't hesitate to take another step!
The 11th step, 12th step, 13th step, 14th step…. Until the 19th step!
Every step caused Wang Lin's body to tremble. He was extremely weak; even his origin soul and soul were trembling under the pressure as if he could no longer hold on.
The moment he stepped onto the 219th step, Wang Lin's body collapsed, but it only scattered into countless black strands that quickly reformed into his body!
He was even willing to use the power of slaughter to reinforce his body. As long as his soul was not destroyed, he could carry out his forced fusion as many times as he wanted!
However, under this pressure, even if he could continue to reform his body thousands of times, he might still not make it, because his soul would die to this pressure!
But this life threatening pressure was the best tool for fusing his celestial and ancient powers. Wang Lin let out a roar and his foot landed on the 220th step!
Popping sounds echoed through the world like crazy. Wang Lin's foot collapsed into black gas dozens of times and reformed dozens of times before he finally stabilized himself!
The moment he stood still, a sound suddenly rang out in the golden sky and black earth. This sound was not very clear, but soon, it swept across the golden sky and black earth, becoming more clear.
Listening to it carefully, this was the sound of the wind, but what was strange was that there was no wind, yet it sounded like the wind was playing a song!
However, when the sound of wind rang out, Xuan Luo's expression changed!
The four grey-robed people sitting on the four pillars opened their eyes. When they looked at the sky, their eternal expressions changed.
As for the figure inside the fog that had opened his eyes when the golden sky and black earth appeared, he silently pondered for a bit and began to murmur.
"Heavenly Wind Song… The first of the nine songs…"
Another sliver of the fusion of celestial and ancient power appeared inside Wang Lin. It didn't flow inside his body but settled down. As his celestial and ancient power continued to fuse, this power slowly grew.
But Wang Lin knew that although he can't see through this power, it was an existence beyond celestial and ancient powers!
This was the power he desired from the fusion, this was the regret when he failed back then!
He heard the song of the wind. The voice echoed through the world as if it were singing and telling a story. However, Wang Lin didn't understand it, just like how he could not understand the murmur inside the Heaven Defying Bead.
While pondering, Wang Lin felt exhausted, but he still stepped toward the distant Mount Gu Dao. He gritted his teeth and continued from the 220th step. Every two steps, his body would collapse into black strands and reform. However, his origin soul and soul were no longer able to persist.
It seemed like he was about to reach his limit.
One step, one step, one step… When Wang Lin stepped onto the 230th step, he coughed out a large mouthful of blood. The blood fell on the step. It was a shocking sight.
However, the moment the blood landed, a second sound appeared in the Heavenly Wing Song!
This was the sound of thunder. Thunderous rumbles echoed in all directions. This thunder seemed to roar, but it contained a sense of rhythm. It was like a heavenly song of thunder!
The thunder echoed and fused with the wing song. The wind and thunder mixed and it was as if millions of horse charged through the golden sky and black earth!
"When the Ancient Ancestor was born, he was accompanied by nine songs. If all nine songs appear, they can create a birthday song… Since ancient times, it is rumored that when both the nine songs and three signs appear on the Immortal Astral Continent, the successor to the Celestial Ancestor and the Ancient Ancestor will appear…" Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin. He suddenly felt like he couldn't see through his disciple anymore...
"In the cave, I also saw on him… Silver eyes…
"This is just a rumor that spread across the Immortal Astral Continent… Will it be him…" Xuan Luo entered a trance. He found it difficult to believe everything that had happened today.

Nine songs three signs. The first song was the Heavenly Wind Song!
The second song was the Heavenly Dao Thunder Beat!
The third song was the Origin Cloud Flute!
This Origin Cloud Flute came from the white clouds that appeared in the golden sky. It would echo through the sky, and when it entered your mind, it would make you relax as if you wanted to sleep.
When Wang Lin stepped onto the 240th step, this flute sound appeared in the sky. This flute was wondrous and was not something a living thing could create. It was created by the countless small holes in the clouds as the wind blew through them.
It fused with the wind to create an extremely wondrous song. The thunder was like a drum and perfectly fused with the wind song.
This song would make one lose themself. Xuan Luo immersed himself in the song and closed his eyes.
On the four pillars, as the four grey-robed men silently listen to the music, memories rippled in their minds. At the top of the tower, a sigh came out of the fog.
Wang Lin stood on the 240th step and also listened to the song of the wind, thunder, and clouds. The song surrounded his origin soul and body with a feeling a warmth and slowly nourished them. All the injuries he had received from walking up the steps began to recover thanks to this song.
Even more celestial and ancient power fused, but it still didn't move.
After a long time, there was a flash of light in Wang Lin's eyes. He raised his foot and slowly walked up. His expression was no longer fierce, but calm.
His eyes were no longer bloodshot and he calmly walked forward.
The golden sky was the light, the black earth was the road, the thunder was the drum, the wind was the rhythm, and the wind was the flute. All of these accompanied Wang Lin as he steadily walked up to the 250th step.
The moment his foot landed, an extra sound appeared, It was like the sound of rain hitting the ground.
The sound of rain echoed through the world and mixed with the cloud flute. The song became even more wondrous, as if there was a hidden sense of vitality within it.
Xuan Luo opened his eyes at this moment. He looked at Wang Lin and took a deep breath. With his cultivation level and identity, he normally would not show much shock. However, the four songs Wang Lin had triggered set off a wave in his emotions.
Xuan Luo's gaze passed Wang Lin and moved onto the tower as he silently thought to himself, "Grand Empyrean Gu Dao… You didn't approve of his existence, but now I wonder what you think… Or if my disciple who possess the soul blood, Wang Lin, will recognize your existence!"
The top of the tower was still silent, and after the sigh, the figure had closed his eyes. He seemed to be immersed in the song, and his face revealed a hint of melancholy and reminiscence.
Wang Lin paused slightly on the 250th step. After hearing the sound of the rain, he immersed himself in it for a few moments before he went up again.
On the 260th step, Wang Lin heard the sound of the sky. This sound was very mysterious, The sky was silent, but at this moment, a soft murmur came like a whisper from the sky. It fused with wind, thunder, cloud, and rain songs.
The moment this song appeared, the little fusion of celestial and ancient powers began to show signs of movement as the pressure from the mountain increased.
However, its speed was very slow, and it was unknown how long it would take to complete one cycle. Wang Lin was not anxious. Thanks to the five songs, he felt very farm inside and outside of his body, as if he had infinite power.
The soul blood inside Wang Lin's body showed signs of melting. This was the soul blood that Xuan Luo had asked Grand Empyrean Gu Dao to awaken but was refused.
Wang Lin silently walked forward and walked past the steps. When his foot fell on the 270th step, all the essences in Wang Lin's body suddenly melted!
At this moment, there was not a single essence inside Wang Lin's body, but there was silver light inside his eyes. With this silver light, his eyes became silver!
There was no emotion in his eyes; they were very cold. Even his black pupils had become silver! When the silver eyes appeared, an unspeakable aura spread out from Wang Lin's body. This was the aura Xuan Luo felt back in the cave world. It felt like everything was going to be destroyed!
After this aura appeared, Xuan Luo revealed a complicated expression.
"Among the nine songs and three signs, the silver eyes is the one thing in common. The Ancient Ancestor's nine songs can make one's eyes become silver, and the second of the three signs is these eyes…"
The four grey-robed men on the pillars withdrew their gazes from the sky and once again looked at Wang Lin. They looked at Wang Lin's silver eyes with confusion. This confusion was like a black hole, as if their minds had been devoured!
It was as if they had a strange attraction toward these silver eyes!
As for the figure inside the fog, after pondering for a long time, he said something that echoed throughout the world.
"Nine songs three signs… In your body, there are five songs and two signs… Come up. If you can make it up to the 300th step, I'll awaken your soul blood and summon you to see you…"
This voice was still cold.
Wang Lin stood on the 270th step and didn't respond to the cold voice at all. He raised his foot and walked up once more. When he reached the 280th step, Wang Lin's ancient power suddenly melted.
When it melted, another song was added to the five songs. This was the song of the earth. The black earth let out a desolate funeral song.
It was unknown how this funeral song had appeared, but it was clear. This sad song mourned the deaths of the people who were buried.
When it mixed with the song of the sky, it was like a mixture of life and death. Along with the songs of the wind, cloud, thunder, and rain, it created a grand song!
"Nine songs three signs… I have heard of it too… Now six songs and two signs have appeared…" Wang Lin silently pondered. He felt his essences and ancient power melt. They didn't disappear, but fused with his body on an even deeper level.
He could feel the sliver of the new force that was born after his celestial and ancient powers fused. However, it moved very slowly - perhaps it would take years, or even decades, to complete one cycle.
He silently raised his foot and resisted the power of Mount Gu Dao to step onto the 281st step. He walked up step by step, and when he reached the 290th step, he felt the power inside his body move slightly faster.
At the same time, he felt the existence of the essences and ancient power that had disappeared. They existed inside his origin soul and internal organs.
His essences existed inside his origin soul and his ancient power was inside his internal organs. They seemed to have fused and also seemed like they didn't, but they were very different from before.
And when Wang Lin stepped onto the 290th step, another song appeared after the first six songs. However, outsiders could not hear this song. Only Wang Lin could hear it because it came from his body.
This song was the song of his body. When he looked up, moved his arms, lifted his feet, breathed, and his pores opened and closed, he created this sound. It was the sound of his body!
These sounds were very subtle, but at this moment, they fused with the song outside. It condensed around Wang Lin into a song that surrounded him.
"This is the seventh song…" Wang Lin listened to it for a moment and then suddenly looked up. He revealed a fierce gaze and stared at the tower at the top of the mountain.
"You said that I can't pass the 300th step…" Wang Lin lift his feet and climbed 10 steps to reach the 300th step.
The moment he stood on the 300th step, the confusion in the eyes of two of the grey-robed men on the four pillars disappeared and was replaced with coldness as if they had recovered. As the coldness filed their eyes, they both moved and took a step forward. They rushed toward Wang Lin like lightning.
They instantly closed in and each threw a punch.
The punches contained a grey fog, and there was a giant head inside each one. The heads seemed mad and let out silent roars as they charged at Wang Lin!
Popping sounds echoed inside Wang Lin's body. This sound was like a heartbeat, but it was the eighth song formed by Wang Lin's internal organs!
Internal organ song!
This was the contraction of his lungs, the beating of his heart, the vibrations of his spleen, the quivering of his liver, and the jumps of his kidney. The sounds of the five internal organs fused to form this song!
It crossed with his body song; fused with wind, cloud, thunder, and rain; and finally entangled with life and death to cause all eight songs to erupt!
The moment the eight songs echoed at the same time, Wang Lin's ancient power inside his internal organs spread throughout his flesh and blood. At the same time, his essences inside his origin soul spread out through his meridians.
When these two powers spread out and regathered for the first time inside Wang Lin's body, they fused on a large scale. A large amount of this fused power cycled through Wang Lin's body at an unimaginable speed. A cycle that should have taken decades to complete was completed in an instant.
This power that didn't belong to the celestials or Ancients completed a cycle, and Wang Lin let out a roar!
"Scram!!"

His voice was not loud and was not heaven-shaking. However, when it appeared, a pressure no weaker than that of Mount Gu Dao came from Wang Lin!
This pressure was enough to shock anyone who felt it!
It has to be said that Mount Gu Dao's pressure came from Grand Empyrean Gu Dao, the number one most powerful person on the Immortal Astral Continent! However, the pressure Wang Lin gave off was comparable to that of Grand Empyrean Gu Dao!
The meaning of this was enough to terrify anyone!
As he roared, the entire mountain began to tremble. Dirt flew off the mountain as if the mountain was going to collapse. The two grey-robed people fused into one person and threw a punch at him. The head formed by the grey fog around the fist let out a harsh cry when it was 30 feet from Wang Lin.
The head was swept by a violent wind and dissipated into nothing. The punch formed by the two overlapping grey-robed men suddenly collapsed!
The moment the punch collapsed, the figure seemed to be knocked back by a powerful force and split into two people. They coughed out blood and their eternally calm expressions revealed looks of disbelief.
After they coughed out blood, they still could not stop and continued to fly back. They were pushed back more than 10,000 feet by Wang Lin's roar.
Mount Gu Dao rumbled, and from the tower at the peak, a large, black hand came out. It swept down like the wind and became thousands of feet large. It was like a black, five-finger mountain smashing down on Wang Lin.
This five-finger mountain collided with Wang Lin's celestial and ancient fusion power.
A thunderous roar echoed and the black five-finger mountain trembled violently before it was knocked back. It dissipated into the sky. At the same time, Wang Lin's body trembled and his fused power split back into celestial and ancient. The wisp of fused power began to move toward a second cycle, but it was very slow and looked like it would need decades to complete another full cycle.
Xuan Luo saw this and gasped.
Inside the tower, the figure pondered for a moment and then a cold voice came out.
"Come up, I'll awaken the soul blood for you…"
Wang Lin's face was pale as he stood on the 300th step. He didn't speak but raised his foot to take one more step. When his foot fell on the 301st step, the soul blood inside his body suddenly melted and fused with his body completely.
He no longer need Grand Empyrean Gu Dao's help to make the soul blood fuse with his body. The bloodline inheritance gradually revealed itself.
Standing there, Wang Lin silently pondered and clasped his hands toward the top of Mount Gu Dao.
"Thanks, Grand Empyrean Gu Dao, for helping me." Wang Lin was not reckless person. The gap between him and Gu Dao was very large. Even if Gu Dao meant for him to leave after 300 steps, he still buried his indifference toward Gu Dao and said goodbye.
Moreover, he was able to fuse his ancient and celestial power because of the pressure from Gu Dao. Perhaps it was an accident, or perhaps this was Gu Dao's silent acknowledgement.
However, no matter what, Wang Lin understood that Grand Empyrean Gu Dao was the strongest person on the Immortal Astral Continent, so he needed to show respect.
After a long time, Grand Empyrean's cold voice came out of the tower. "You can rest assured, I have said that if you can pass the 300th step, you can leave… Now that you've passed, you can leave!"
It was as if Grand Empyrean Gu Dao was pondering before he said those words.
Wang Lin no longer spoke but walked down the mountain. When he arrived next to Xuan Luo, he saw the hidden ripples around Xuan Luo. It was obvious if that if Gu Dao had gone back on his words, Xuan Luo would have acted.
"Teacher…" Wang Lin's said softly. Xuan Luo's action caused warmth to appear on the cracks he had with the Ancient clan.
"Let's go." Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin profoundly and buried the shock from the eight songs and two signs. He waved his sleeve and flew into the distance with Wang Lin.
It wasn't until he disappeared from the end of the horizon that the two injured grey-robed men return to the pillar. They looked at the distance with complicated expressions and then closed their eyes to cultivate.
After a long time, a sigh came from the tower.
The figure inside the fog stood up and walked next to the window. He looked into the sky, and his gaze seemed to fall in the direction of Xuan Luo and Wang Lin.
Xuan Luo brought Wang Lin back to the Ancient Dao imperial city after a few days. They returned to the mountain behind the Ancient Dao Temple and settled down.
Xuan Luo didn't ask about what had happened back at Mount Gu Dao, and Wang Lin didn't explain, as if nothing had happened. A month passed, and it was as if everything had disappeared like smoke.
During this month, Wang Lin had entered closed door cultivation inside the wooden house. Before the trip to Mount Gu Dao, he had gone to a lot of places and absorbed a lot of essences. The power of his essences had increased a lot and his cultivation had improved even more.
The essences and ancient power seemed to return to their normal positions during this month. The essences returned to their essence true body forms and the ancient power reverted back to the 27 stars.
They seemed ordinary, but only Wang Lin knew that with one thought, he could make them fuse again and gain a short eruption of power.
This power and pressure was comparable to Mount Gu Dao!
As his essences and ancient power increased, the duration of the fusion would become longer and longer! Until one day, when he could fully integrate them and they would not just be a short fusion - he would have power equal to Grand Empyrean Gu Dao.
Right now, the wisp of the fusion power was slowly cycling through his body. It looked like it would take a long time for it to complete a cycle.
On this day, Wang Lin opened his eyes from cultivation and his eyes lit up. He waved his right hand and a cylinder appeared in his grasp. After pondering for a moment, he opened the cylinder and there were some liquid that contained pure wood essence inside.
He took out one drop and fused it into his body. The drop suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the power of Wang Lin's wood essence increased greatly.
After three days, when Wang Lin fused with another drop, his wood essence was rapidly approaching an essence true body.
After less than half a month, when all the liquid in the cylinder was absorbed, Wang Lin was still sitting there. An overlapping image appeared and his five-element true body walked out and stood before him.
The five-element true body remained the same and stood before Wang Lin, emitting five colors. The colors that represented wood and metal were dimmer than the other three. However, the color that represented wood gradually became brighter until a few days later, when it reached the same degree as water, fire, and dearth!
The five-element true body trembled and four figures and a ball of light appeared. Among the four figures, aside from water, fire, and earth, was Wang Lin's wood essence true body!
At the center of the four essence true bodies was a ball of golden light. This was the metal essence, and it hadn't formed an essence true body yet.
Wang Lin opened his eyes and looked at the ball of golden light, revealing a troubled expression. A moment later, he revealed a decisive gaze and waved his hand. A golden fragment appeared.
This fragment was the sword fragment Wang Lin was given by Jiu Di on the long street. He had refined it but had not fully integrated it yet. He was going to use the metal essence he had absorbed while he was with Xuan Luo, along with this fragment, to complete his five-element true body!
Once his metal essence formed an essence true body, then the power of his five-element true body would increase greatly. It would also help determine if his deduction about his future cultivation path was correct.
"The five-element true body will be complete. If my cultivation level increases, then my speculation is correct!" Wang Lin no longer hesitated and spat out a mouthful of golden gas. It surrounded the golden sword fragment.
Time passed. In a flash, another month went by...
It had been two and a half months since Wang Lin and Xuan Luo returned. Wang Lin had stayed inside the wooden house and hadn't stepped out. Xuan Luo had come twice and stood outside the wooden house, observing. He knew Wang Lin was condensing his essences and was in no danger, so he left.
On this morning, when the first ray of sunlight fell from the sky onto the earth and dispelled the darkness, causing warmth to fill this garden, a jade flew over from the direction of the Ancient Dao Temple. It circled around the wooden house a few times before it fell down on the grass outside the house.
However, a moment later, the jade trembled and flew into the house. It was caught by Wang Lin, who was sitting inside the wooden house.
His divine sense swept past the jade. It was a message jade. There wasn't much inside, it was just an invitation.
"The Ancient Dao Emperor will hold the ceremony to title his empress in 10 days…" Wang Lin's expression remained the same. This jade came from the Ancient Dao Emperor to invite Wang Lin to the ceremony.
"Since this jade could be sent here, then it must have obtained the recognition of Teacher. Then this ceremony must be very important to the Ancient Dao." Wang Lin pondered.
"This Ancient Dao Emperor has been choosing a concubine for hundreds of years, and now he finally chose one and is going to title her as his empress… Should I go or not…" Wang Lin had reached the critical moment of fusing with his metal essence, so he didn't want to go to this so-called empress title ceremony.

Wang Lin put down the invitation jade and no longer considered this matter. After all, compared to the Ancient Dao Emperor's empress title ceremony, his cultivation was more important.
"The metal essence true body will be able to form in these next few days. When the five-element true body is complete, I will be able to verify if my speculation is correct." Wang Lin revealed a hint of worry. If he remained at the late stage of Void Tribulant after his five-element true body was complete, then his deduction would be wrong.
Once he failed, Wang Lin would have to give up forming essence true bodies for the other essences and focus on comprehending the fourth ethereal essence after life and death, karma, and true and false.
However, ethereal essences were a complete blur and completely relied on opportunity and insight. Perhaps he could obtain it in a few years, or not find any clue in thousands of years.
This made Wang Lin look at the metal essence with a hint of worry and anticipation.
After a long time, Wang Lin let out a sigh and withdrew his gaze from the metal essence. He had done all he could. Whether his cultivation would increase or not, he would have his answer in a few days.
Wang Lin's eyes opened slightly. After pondering a bit, he waved his sleeve. Light shined in the wooden house and a restriction slowly turned. It made no sound, and from outside, no light spread out.
Wang Lin stepped into the formation and disappeared.
In the earth below the formation, a large cave was opened about 100,000 feet below the wooden house. This cave had appeared not long ago. Wang Lin had created it on the fifth day of his closed door cultivation.
This cave was thousands of feet large and was filled by a black and white sun. At the center floated a giant black and white sun!
Although it was only an outline, it was indeed Wang Lin's Grand Empyrean sun!
Under the Grand Empyrean sun, there was a 1,000-foot-tall head. It had no eyes or ears and there was a deep crack on its scalp. This was the Celestial Ancestor's head!
Wang Lin had placed countless restrictions around this cave. With his current cultivation level, these restrictions were extremely powerful. Forget Empyrean Exalts, not even Ascendant Empyreans could sense them.
Even Grand Empyreans would find it difficult to detect them unless they looked carefully. This was because these restrictions contained Wang Lin's fusion of celestial and ancient power! He had extracted a bit and combined it with the restrictions to give them this powerful effect.
Wang Lin's figure appeared next to the Celestial Ancestor's head. He had created this space to nourish his Grand Empyrean sun. Based on his analysis, once his Grand Empyrean Sun completely fused with the Celestial Ancestor's head, the Grand Empyrean sun would become solid.
He sat down before the Celestial Ancestor's head and spat out a wisp of green gas. The green gas entered the head and the Celestial Ancestor's head trembled. It released large amounts of golden light that was immediately absorbed by the sun above. It turned into black and white light that nourished this sun.
During this three-month time period, his Grand Empyrean sun had been absorbing the Celestial Ancestor's head, but how could it be refined so easily? It would be difficult to fully absorb it in a short period of time.
After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin opened his eyes and raised his right hand. His hand reached at the void and a dark golden light spread out from his palm. There was a weak soul with its eyes closed in Wang Lin's hand. Although Wang Lin looked calm, but his pupils shrank and he became serious.
This weak soul was the Celestial Emperor, Lian Daozhen!!
The Celestial Emperor, who had been captured by Wang Lin, was in a sorry state. He trembled in Wang Lin's hand as if he wanted to open his eyes, but he had no strength left. However, his body gave off a powerful celestial energy that would make anyone recognize that this was the pressure of a Grand Empyrean!
Although this pressure belonged to a Grand Empyrean, the celestial energy was not pure - it was extremely chaotic and exuded a sense of defeat. It seemed like the soul was suffering great pain right now.
"What a powerful ancestral curse…" Wang Lin muttered to himself. Wang Lin continued to place seals on the Celestial Emperor's soul. With his cultivation level and power, along with the Celestial Emperor's own power, they still could not expel the ancestral curse. However, he was able to reach a balance so the soul would not dissipate.
"I originally intended to use the pressure from this soul to help fuse my celestial and ancient powers by force, but now it looks like there is no need. However, this is the soul of the Celestial Emperor; it's still very useful to me." Wang Lin pondered as he looked at his own Grand Empyrean sun.
"Unfortunately, the ancestral curse is too strong… If I could expel the curse, I could fuse his soul into my Grand Empyrean sun and use it as a guide to devour the Celestial Ancestor's head by force…" Wang Lin left hand touched his chin and he pondered. Then his eyes lit up and his left hand formed a seal. When he was done, he pointed at the soul in his right hand.
The Celestial Emperor's soul suddenly trembled when Wang Lin pointed at him. He opened his mouth and let out a silent howl. The restrictions around the cave began to flash.
Wang Lin's expression was very serious as his left hand pointed at the Celestial Emperor's soul. After a long time, a trace of grey gas gathered and was slowly pulled out by Wang Lin.
When his left hand had completely risen, the grey gas around his finger suddenly turned into an evil ghost-like shadow. It opened its mouth and charged at Wang Lin's finger.
However, just as it going to devour Wang Lin's finger, Wang Lin's eyes narrowed and his pupils became silver. The silver light fell on this ghost and it suddenly trembled as if it were afraid. It then quickly shrank to half its original size. Wang Lin grabbed it and mercilessly squeezed.
The grey gas dissipated.
Wang Lin's forehead was covered in sweat and the silver light in his eyes dissipated. He revealed a bitter smile.
"The fusion of the celestial and ancient powers can remove the ancestral curse… However, with my current cultivation level, I can't last for long and can't expel the ancestral curse all at once…" Wang Lin looked at the Celestial Emperor's soul. The sliver of ancestral curse he had removed had recovered.
With a sigh, Wang Lin waved his right hand and put the Celestial Emperor's soul away. He sat there, pondering, for a long time and let out a sigh in the end.
"It looks like I need to wait for my cultivation level to rise so I can maintain the fused power for longer to dispel the ancestral curse and fuse it with my Grand Empyrean sun.
"This ancestral curse is strange and the Celestial Emperor's identity is special, so it's not convenient to ask Teacher Xuan Luo to help." Wang Lin had his own secrets, and unless it was absolutely necessary, he had the habit of not letting anyone know.
Wang Lin put the Celestial Emperor's soul away and waved his right hand to take out a jade. This jade was gifted to him by Prince Ji Du and contained the power of one finger from the Ancient Ancestor.
When Wang Lin had obtained this jade, he could not study it, as there seemed to be a barrier that blocked him, preventing him from seeing inside. He could only use it as a one-time spell.
However, now he had melted the soul blood inside his body and had gained some fragmented memories. He could feel these memories but not look through them - it was obvious he didn't have enough soul blood.
Holding the jade, Wang Lin looked at it. There was a blurry figure inside, and the figure was moving inside an equally blurry world. As the figure trembled, the world shattered and disappeared.
It was a very simple illusion, but because it was blurry, it was very difficult to comprehend.
Wang Lin had looked at it several times before, and it was always like this. This time was the same, but he was not discouraged. He closed his eyes, and after a long time, when he reopened them, silver light appeared in his eyes once more!
The silver light occupied his entire eyes, and his gaze was very cold. Wang Lin looked at the jade once more, and under his gaze, the blurry figure appeared once more.
However, because Wang Lin's mind contained those memories, some of the memories linked together and appeared in his mind when he saw the blurry figure.
This was a man wearing a grey robe, and he had long hair. He looked exactly the same as the statue in the Ancient Dao imperial city. It was the Ancient Ancestor!
His left hand was behind him and he was floating in the sky. He was looking at the sky with contempt and disdain in his eyes, seeming aloof. As he looked at the sky, there were groups of black dots closing in. These black dots were groups of fierce beasts.
These beasts had the heads of humans but the bodies of lions. They only had two front limbs - the hind limbs and tail seemed to have morphed into fish tails.
As they flew over, they let out sharp roars. The powerful one in front gave off a powerful aura that was close to that of a Grand Empyrean.
However, the grey-robed man still looked at them with contempt. He raised his right hand and pointed forward.
When he did this, the world trembled. Everything within 100,000 kilometers of these beasts seemed to separate from the world. Then the top and bottom of this separated world squeezed together!
Thunderous rumble echoed. When the separated world squeezed, all the beasts shattered.
With a bang, a crack appeared in the jade in Wang Lin's hand and the jade split in half. The two halves fell to the ground and turned to dust.
Wang Lin became sober and the silver in his eyes dissipated, but his eyes were bright.
"What a powerful point from the Ancient Ancestor…"

"This finger is not a spell, but communicates with the world or manipulates the world. It also didn't attack the beasts, but the world the beasts exist in.
"It tore open the world and used the pressure of the finger to cause the world to squeeze and collapse. The beasts were mere collateral damage."
However, Wang Lin's finger was very slow, as if there were layers of invisible barriers before him, preventing him from pointing forward like the Ancient Ancestor.
A moment later, Wang Lin withdrew his finger and no longer tried again. He lowered his head and pondered.
"From this spell, I can see that the strength of the Ancient Ancestor has reached a different realm… But with the memory fragment and the Rapid Spell Art, I can copy it."
Wang Lin raised his head and looked at the fragments of the jade as he closed his eyes.
There were many chaotic origin souls inside his body that he had taken from the slaughter in the celestial ancestral city. He had been slowly refining them, and now he had enough to create another spell vein.
"I have five Spell Veins in my body, so with one movement, I can create 99 afterimages. I wonder what will happen when I create the sixth one." Wang Lin quickly activated the Rapid Spell Art to condense the sixth Spell Vein. Soon, seven days passed.
There were only three days left until the grand ceremony, where the Emperor would title his empress.
The entire Ancient Dao imperial city was festive and was beautifully decorated. In particular, at night, the colorful lights could be seen from far away.
Even the sky of the Ancient Dao imperial city was dyed in colorful lights. It gave people a wondrous feeling and revealed the joyous atmosphere.
The Ancient Dao Emperor put great importance on this grand ceremony, and even the entire imperial family put great importance on this matter. After all, the Ancient Dao Emperor was going to title his empress. All the powerful members of the Ancient Dao had gathered, and people from other countries had come as well. They were going to personally see this grand ceremony!
The messengers from the Ancient Ji and Ancient Shi had arrived to participate in this celebration.
The Ancient Shi had prepared a lot of gifts, and their leader was Prince Ji Du. Back then, he had personally accompanied the Ancient Dao ambassadors to choose Song Zhi, so it was no surprise that he had come.
Also, the empress was named Song and was a distant descendant of the Ancient Shi Grand Empyrean, so he had also sent a messenger to bring a gift.
Many people had come to the Ancient Dao imperial city, making it very lively. The security of the imperial city increased to ensure that nothing would happen during the grand ceremony.
The Ancient Dao imperial city, especially the palace, was strictly guarded. Almost all the powerful people of the Ancient Dao had arrived.
The various kings that were scattered and had royal bloodlines were here. This made the Ancient Dao imperial city very lively for this grand ceremony.
This was a grand matter in the Ancient clan. One of the three ancient emperors were going to title an empress. This was a great matter in the Ancient Clan, where the imperial power was supreme. Almost everyone knew of this, and even Mount Gu Dao had send a gift. The Ancient Dao Emperor had attracted the attention of everyone during this period of time.
In these last few days, due to the fact that there were too many people, the Ancient Dao had taken out their powerful treasures to create 99 huge platforms and spread them out around the flying city.
Powerful people quickly created various forms of housing on these platforms, and this was the only way to accommodate all the people that were coming.
Wang Lin was immersed in his cultivation and ignored all of this. On the night three days before the grand ceremony, the entire Ancient Dao imperial city was bright. It was lively with the sound of people, and even the 99 platforms were the same.
Because so many people from all three clans had arrived, many auctions had appeared. While waiting for the ceremony, the people of all three clans began to trade with each other.
A joyous atmosphere filled the Ancient Dao palace. At the highest pavilion, the Ancient Dao Emperor had his hands behind his back as he looked at the colorful city, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The Ancient Dao Emperor slowly said, "In the future, I'm going to make it like this in the Ancient Dao imperial city every day and become the center of the entire Ancient Clan!"
"Your Majesty is a great man. There will certainly be a day when you will achieve it! We are willing to follow Your Majesty to see that day arrive!" In the pavilion, there were seven people kneeling on the ground, and they were filled with excitement.
"How are the preparations?" The Ancient Dao Emperor smiled.
"The ambassadors of the Ancient Shi and Ancient Ji have arrived, and their lodgings have been arranged. The messengers of the two Grand Empyreans have also arrived. The lord messenger who brought the gift from Mount Gu Dao has been given a place to stay in the imperial city," one of them quickly said.
The second person quickly said, "I have arranged for the people of our clan and the powerful people of the other two clans to be scattered across the surrounding 99 platforms. Although there are a lot of people, it was enough to accommodate them."
"I have been personally overseeing the layout of the grand ceremony to ensure its success. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"In terms of protection, the first to seventh armies will guard the ceremony to make sure nothing happens!"
"The imperial teacher has sent word that he will personally come for the grand ceremony."
"Empress Song is the same as usual and still hasn't come out. She seems to be trying to remember something, but that always ends in pain and she does not remember anything."
"Grand Empyrean hasn't sent any word. I don't know if he will come to the grand ceremony."
The seven of them spoke one by one and then lowered their heads. They awaited the orders of this supreme existence in the Ancient Dao.
"According to the rules, the grand ceremony will last for 99 days. Aside from offering to the Ancient Ancestor on the first day, I won't participate for the rest. If anything happens, you all will be responsible!" The man in royal robe gave his commands and the seven immediately accepted.
"The grand ceremony will begin in three days. Every generation of Ancient Dao emperor has held a banquet at the night before to allow the people of the Ancient Dao and messengers from the other two nations to see the empress...
"How well have you all arranged this matter?"
One of the seven respectfully said, "It's all been arranged."
"Good!" The man in the royal robe revealed a smile that contained a hint of anticipation. He waved his sleeve and disappeared from the pavilion.
"Marrying her and giving her this status are the best rewards for her. Imperial Teacher, I'm anticipating the result of your divination…"
At this moment, also in the palace, in a quiet room, there was a woman wearing a phoenix robe. This woman was not an absolute beauty but had an unspeakable temperament. She looked at the mirror before her, and her eyes were filled with confusion.
"I can't remember anything… Everything in the dream is a blurry after waking up… I can't remember what the woman looks like and I can't remember the man's appearance. I can only remember his words…" The woman closed her eyes and those two lines echoed in her mind.
"Let's go, I'll take you to kill!"
"Even if heaven wants you to die I'll take you back!"
Tears flowed out of her closed eyes and down the sides of her face. The two lines of tears dripped down her cheeks and onto her clothes, making her clothes wet.
"Why would I shed tears… Who is he… Who am I… Am I Song Zhi… Am I song Zhi…" The woman opened her eyes, and there was even more confusion now.
Wang Lin didn't know about any of this, and he could not sense it. Although his cultivation had pierced the heavens, he still could not see her tears or feel her aura.
Even if he saw her personally, he might not see who this woman was… This was because there was a fog covering everything about the soul fragment, and after his woman and Song Zhi fused, this fog became even more intense.
He didn't know that Wan Er's soul fragment that he had been looking for was so close to him… So close...
The woman also didn't know that the person she was confused about was breathing the same spiritual energy as her.
In the morning before the grand ceremony, Wang Lin opened his eyes in the underground cave. There was a flash of doubt in his eyes even though a sixth Spell Vein had appeared in his body.
The source of his doubt was a sliver of unease that had appeared in his heart for some unknown reason. This sense of unease caused him to feel doubt.
After silently pondering a bit, Wang Lin got up, walked out of the cave, and appeared in the wooden house. A human figure had appeared in the metal essence and a body had begun to take shape.
"Longer than I expected…" Wang Lin sat down and looked at the metal essence, suppressing the excitement in his heart. When the sun set, Wang Lin looked up and opened his mouth to swallow his five element essences back into his body. He then got up and pushed open the door.
In the sunset, Xuan Luo was standing outside, smiling at Wang Lin.
"You have been in closed door cultivation for three months. You don't have to participate in the grand ceremony tomorrow, but go to the banquet tonight in my place.
"I know you don't like lively places. Just go sit for a while then come back."
Wang Lin hesitated a bit. He really didn't want to go to this banquet, but since his teacher had asked him, Wang Lin nodded.
"Gift this to Ye Dao. Consider it my wedding gift to him." Xuan Luo smiled and handed a gift box to Wang Lin.
After Wang Lin accepted it, he didn't look at it and clasped his hands at Xuan Luo. He flew into the air and flew toward the direction of the Ancient Dao imperial palace.
"After handing him this gift, I'll leave and continue cultivating. My metal essence is about to form its true body, and nothing is more important right now." Wang Lin made up his mind, but at this moment, he felt that sense of unease again.
Wang Lin frowned and looked at the imperial palace in the distance.

All generations of Ancient Dao emperors would prepare a banquet the night before the grand ceremony. The banquet would begin at sunset and end at sunrise. The people that participated in the banquet would also participate in the grand ceremony.
At the evening banquet, the Ancient Dao Emperor would come out with the Empress. This would be the first public appearance of the Empress.
After accepting the blessing of everyone, the Empress would leave, but the Emperor would stay with everyone throughout the night until the grand ceremony.
The banquet was going to be held at the giant square outside the palace. The sun was about to set and there were countless servants setting a large amount of tables in the square. There were thousands of tables.
These tables formed a fan shape and seemed to be worshiping the palace.
Hundreds of small platforms were floating in the sky above the palace. There were hundreds of tables on each of the platform, and they were used to welcome the people that were coming.
When the time arrived, drum beats began to echo from the palace. The drums began to echo and roar across the palace. A giant drum thousands of feet wide appeared at the center of the palace. It was made of the skin of an unknown type of beast. The skin gave off an ancient and fierce aura.
There were nine people in black floating above the drum, and each of them had cultivation comparable to an Empyrean Exalt. Each beat of the dream was created by the combined force of all nine of them. Their power condensed into an illusionary palm that hit the drum.
The drum beat echoed and didn't dissipate, but spread out like ripples. It enveloped the entire sky, shrouding the nearly 1,000 flying platforms.
This allowed all the Ancient clan members here to hear it.
Thunderous rumbles were set off every once in a while, creating countless echoes. Whenever the sound started fading, another would be set off, causing the world to be immersed in the sound of the drum.
When the third drum beat echoed, people came from the palace. There was a large amount of them, and at a glance, it was not possible to count them all. They were all powerful - although not comparable to Empyrean Exalts, they were all comparable to third step cultivators.
These people each chose a table and sat down to talk to each other. The entire square began to buzz and became very lively.
When the fifth drum beat echoed, rays of light flew through the sky. There were people of the Ancient Dao and also people from the other two clans among them. Some chose to sit down in the square and others sat down among the hundreds of floating platforms.
More and more people came, and when the seventh drum beat echoed, thousands of rays of light flew across the sky. These rays of light seemed to fragment the sky, and all of them sat down.
After the thousands of rays of light all sat down, 108 bright lights came from the horizon. They instantly arrived and revealed to be 108 Ancient Dao members in white armor!
These 108 people all bowed toward the palace and then landed in the square. They picked tables close to the palace and sat down.
"The Ancient Dao's 108 Jin!"
"The Ancient Dao is divided into Jin, Saint, Fiend, King, and Immortal Generals! The 108 Jin have appeared, so the others should come shortly after!
"These 108 Jin have monstrous slaughter auras. That is why they are called 'Jin!'"
The soft discussions that were covered up by the roar of the drum could not hide the gazes gathered on them. These gazes contained envy, gloominess, and evaluation.
Just after the 108 people appeared, 72 tornados appeared in the distance. Each tornado had a person inside, and they were rushing toward the square.
A powerful pressure suddenly descended and shrouded the area when the 72 tornados arrived. Inside them there were men and women, young and old, but each of them had the aura of a God, Demon,or Devil Lord without exception. Then, when looking at their eyes and foreheads, one could see a total of 27 stars!!
"72 Saints! The 72 Saints that have achieved great merits for the Ancient Dao!"
"I have long heard that the 72 Saints only have 72 people, no more and no less. The 72 Saints have guarded the Ancient Dao for countless years.
Sounds of discussion echoed as another thunderous rumble echoed. It was the eighth drum beat!
As this drum beat echoed, the earth trembled as if there were dragons moving beneath. At the same time, 36 rays of blood light descended from the sky, causing the sky to be dyed red; even the sunset was covered by this blood light.
"36 Zhangs!"
"The Ancient Dao clan's famous 36 Zhangs. They are the Ancient Dao royal family's guards. 36 powerful guards created by the resources of the entire Ancient Dao royal family for each generation of emperor!!"
"I heard that they are like death soldiers. The moment the Ancient Dao Emperor gives the command, they will self-destruct!"
"How can they be called the 36 Zhangs? They are clearly 36 fiends!"
36 burly men walked out of the red lights. They were covered in red mist and it was impossible to see their appearance. They bowed at the main palace and then sat before the 72 Saints.
The drum beat's echo continued. After the 36 people sat down, a thunderous rumble that suppressed the drum and the sounds of the nearly 100,000 people present rang out. This attracted the attention of everyone, and they saw 18 rifts torn by people in the sky. Then 18 pairs of black and red claws appeared from thin air!
Thunderous roars echoed across the sky. When everyone's gazes had gathered in the sky, 18 black and red dragons came out of the 18 rifts!
These 18 dragons gave off shocking demon auras. They were dragons! Dragons with ancient demon auras!
The 18 pairs of silver eyes gave off endless demonic energy, making these 18 dragons extremely fierce. After they appeared, they began to fly in circles in the sky, forming a huge vortex.
"The Ancient Dao's 18 Kings!!"
"That's right, they are the demonic dragon mounts of the Ancient Dao's 18 Kings. Since these dragons appeared, that means the 18 Kings have arrived!"
"They are also of the royal family below the Emperor, the 18 Kings of the Ancient Dao. I heard that they are all very powerful and that 12 of them are usually not allowed to enter the capital because they have to guard the 12 countries!"
A huge uproar was set off when the 18 dragons appeared in the sky. In the distant sky, still far away from the palace, Wang Lin looked over.
When the 18 demonic dragons appeared, they changed the worldly energy in the area. The storm they had created by forming the vortex could block divine sense.
"Ancient Dao's 18 Kings… I wonder if Ye Mo was one of the 18 Kings back then… Maybe I'll know at the feast." Wang Lin rubbed his chin. H had just come to the Ancient Dao and had been in closed door cultivation this whole time, so he hadn't had time to search for Ye Mo's descendants.
However, this matter was still in his mind.
After pondering, while the eighth drum beast still echoed, he walked toward the palace in the distance. However, the sense of unease became stronger the closer he got to the palace.
This unease was not danger, but an indescribable feeling. With Wang Lin's cultivation level, he could sense matters of great importance to him ahead of time.
However, no matter how much he thought, he could not figure what could happen at the royal banquet.
As Wang Lin frowned and walked forward, the 18 demonic dragons descended to the square below. If one looked carefully, they would see a person standing on the head of each dragon!
A total of 18 people that all looked different but possessed a hint of similarity. They all looked quite imposing as they walked down from the dragons. They sat down sat at the seats closest to the main palace.
When they sat down, the 18 demonic dragons let out roars and then returned into the rifts in the sky. The rifts disappeared and everything returned to normal.
And at this moment, the ninth drum beat echoed and fused with the echo of the eight beats from before. A monstrous roar echoed. This sound was loud enough to shake cultivators to death, and even the Ancient clan members would find it difficult to deal with. However, strangely, no one here was affected by this sound.
Wang Lin stepped forward and arrived above the palace at the ninth drum beat. He suddenly looked up and his pupils shrank slightly.
He saw nine rays of black light descend from the sky. The black lights were like huge pillars that supported the sky so it wouldn't collapse. Ripples echoed as the nine rays of black light descended, revealing nine giant men in black armor!
These nine people gave off intense killing intent, and one could even see countless ghosts around them. They didn't bow at the palace but looked at each other and then walked to the nine tables before the 18 Kings.
Before them there were still four more tables!
"Immortal Generals!"
"They should be the Ancient Dao's nine Immortal Generals!"
"The nine of them are comparable to Ascendant Empyreans who have broken through the 13th palace! One of them has even reached the level of being able to break through the 14th palace!" Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and walked forward as the ninth drum beat echoed.
His appearance immediately attracted the gazes of many people here!!

Wang Lin was used to being gazes focused on him at these kinds of events. His expression remained the same as his white clothes fluttered and he calmly walked forward.
"This person… Who is he?"
"He came alone and dared to come at the 9th drum beat. Could it be that he has some special identity?"
"This person is very unfamiliar…"
Soft discussions began among the crowds as Wang Lin walked past the thousands of people, 108 Jins, 72 Saints, 36 Zhangs…
As he walked forward, more and more gaze gathered on him, and the buzz became louder and louder.
"Where is he going to sit?!"
"He dares to head to the front. Two of the four seats in the front are prepared for the Grand Empyrean and the imperial teacher. The last two seats are reserved for the two ancestors of the Ancient Dao that are still alive!!"
Among the last four remaining seats, one was in front with three behind it. As Wang Lin walked toward the 18 Kings, seven of them actually stood up and clasped their hands at Wang Lin.
With this, the 100,000 people went into an uproar and the discussions became even more intense than when the 18 Kings and nine Immortal Generals entered.
Wang Lin paused for a moment and smiled at the seven people that had bowed toward him. Then he walked toward the nine Immortal Generals enveloped in black auras.
Out of the nine, eight remained silent, but the person who was equal to an Ascendant Empyrean who passed the 14th palace let out a cold snort and his eyes lit up. He suddenly stood up as if he wanted to prevent Wang Lin from flying over him.
But just as he was about to stand up, Wang Lin's cold gaze looked over and there was a flash of red killing intent in his eyes. A shocking pressure spread out from Wang Lin's body and then suddenly dissipated.
Although it was only for an instant, it caused the person who was going to stand up to tremble. He was in shock and could not stand up. His eyes became filled with fear and he sat back down.
At this moment, his mind was rumbling and cold sweat had covered his body. Wang Lin's gaze had caused him to feel as if he was trapped in slaughter and was killed by Wang Lin hundreds of thousands of times. It was as if he had entered an illusion where he was constantly killed.
He had never experienced this kind of feeling before. That gaze seemed to have rushed into his body, crushed his internal organs, scraped his bones and flesh, and then devoured his soul. His heartbeat rapidly accelerated as if it was going to collapse.
The moment he sat back down again, Wang Lin landed on the ground and arrived before the forward-most table in this fan-shaped seating arrangement. He looked at the hundreds of flying platforms and the hundreds of thousands of people at the square before he waved his sleeve and calmly sat down.
The moment he sat down, a huge uproar was set off across the square.
"Who is he? He sat in the position of the Ancient Dao's Grand Empyrean. This… This…"
"The pressure that person released was extremely powerful and actually made me feel like my heart stopped. His ancient power is unfathomable and he is definitely not a normal person!"
"I heard that the Ancient Dao's Grand Empyrean announced that he has accepted a disciple. Could he be Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo's disciple!? But he is so young…"
"It indeed is him!"
"White-Haired Ascendant Empyrean!! I didn't expect this person to really be Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo's disciple!!"
"What? He is the White-Haired Ascendant Empyrean? Isn't the White-Haired Ascendant Empyrean a member of the celestial clan? It is said that he is number one below Grand Empyreans!! There is even rumor he is the 10th sun of the Immortal Astral Continent!!"
Those that recognized Wang Lin were of the royal family, like Prince Ji Du. The members of the Ancient Dao were more in the know because they knew about Wang Lin; however, the members of the other clans had extremely complicated expressions as they looked at Wang Lin. There were hidden hints of fear in their eyes.
In truth, they weren't completely unaware of Wang Lin. Xuan Luo had brought Wang Lin to the Ancient Ji and Ancient Shi. Aside from coming to send their congratulatory gifts, they had also come to observe the power of the Ancient Dao.
Among the gazes that looked at Wang Lin, one of them was filled with excitement. This gaze came from one of the floating platforms where Prince Ji Du was.
Prince Ji Du had watched Wang Lin appear until he caught the attention of everyone here. He looked at how calm Wang Lin was and let out a deep breath.
"Godfather's name is known by the Ancient clan! Godfather's name is enough to shock everyone. If Godfather can help me…" Prince Ji Du clenched his fist.
Wang Lin ignored all the gazes that were gathered on him. He sat there and closed his eyes, but at this moment, his heart was very unsettled. It was as if an inner demon had taken over, and he felt himself losing control.
This feeling appeared after Wang Lin started making his way to the palace and came from the unease he had felt before. It suddenly erupted when he sat down, which shocked him.
Although it could be suppressed, it affected Wang Lin's mood. Otherwise, when the Immortal General stood up, Wang Lin wouldn't have revealed a hint of his cultivation there.
That level of character was not qualified to make him do that. At that moment, Wang Lin even had the crazed thought of killing that person and killing everyone here.
"What is the reason? Why would I become like this upon arriving at the Ancient Dao palace…" Wang Lin closed his eyes and cycled his cultivation. His mind slowly calmed down, but he became even more gloomy.
"Something is not right. Could it be that the palace activated some restrictions to affect me like this? However, looking around, no restrictions seem to be activated…" Wang Lin opened his eyes and silently sat there.
"And this crazed feeling transformed from the unease. I vaguely felt it a few days ago, and now it's even more intense.
"It feels as if something of great importance to me is going to happen… It seems like it will be a big event in my life… Even when I faced countless life and death situations, I never felt like this…" Wang Lin couldn't help but frown.
"I can't stay at the Ancient Dao palace for long…" Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he made up his mind. At this moment, the ninth drum beat gradually faded away.
When the drum beat disappeared, everyone in the square and on the flying platforms suddenly quiet down. Everyone subconsciously stopped talking and their gazes gathered on the main hall!
"The Emperor arrives!!" A sharp and shrill voice came from the hall. It carried a powerful penetrating force. Then the closed door opened.
As the door was pushed open, all the gazes gathered on the hall, at the man sitting on a dragon throne.
This man was wearing a royal robe and an emperor crown. He gave off a powerful pressure without revealing any anger. It was the Ancient Dao Emperor!!
"We all greet the Emperor!!" On the square and platforms, everyone, including the 18 kings, all bowed at the Ancient Dao Emperor!
Non-Ancient Dao members didn't have to kneel, but all Ancient Dao members had to get down on one knee. Wang Lin stood up, and after silently pondering for a bit, he bowed but didn't kneel!
Although his expression looked normal, that crazed feeling of slaughter washed over his mind like a raging wave. He almost could not suppress it.
This feeling became extremely violent the moment the Ancient Dao Emperor appeared!!
"Everyone, this is a joyous matter for me. Let us celebrate with this banquet, and all of you drink with me!" The Ancient Dao Emperor smiled, but when his gaze swept past Wang Lin, his heart was unhappy and gloomy. However, his expression remained the same and he even smiled at Wang Lin as if he was concerned.
"I'm very happy that all these friends could come to my Ancient Dao. Today, I won't say much. Let me raise a cup to all the friends that came!" The Ancient Dao Emperor raised his right hand and a shadow appeared to hand him a cup of wine.
At the same time, everyone on the square and platforms picked up the wine on their tables. They all respectfully held up their cups of wine.
Wang Lin silently let out a sigh and picked up the wine cup. He intended to hand over his teacher's gift after this cup and then leave. The irritation in his heart had caused his face to turn slightly pale.
The Ancient Dao Emperor smiled and took a sip. Everyone else drank afterward as a congratulations. Wang Lin didn't drink but put his cup down with everyone else and was about to speak.
"Aside from this joyous event, I also want to announce another matter. Some of you may have heard that Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo's disciple, the celestial clan's White-Haired Ascendant Empyrean, will be the guardian of my Ancient Dao!
"Wang Lin, come up and listen to the edict!" The Ancient Dao emperor smiled.
Wang Lin silently walked forward a few steps and clasped his hands once more.
"Still not kneeling?" The Ancient Dao Emperor's expression was heavy. He didn't speak but calmly looked at Wang Lin.
After a long time, everyone noticed that abnormality, and their gazes gathered on Wang Lin.
Among the many gazes, one came from the Prince Ji Du. He suppressed the excitement in his heart. He was waiting for the day that Wang Lin would be pushed out of the Ancient Dao!
"Emperor, I came to send a congratulatory gift on behave of Teacher. I still have important matters to deal with, so I'll take my leave." Wang Lin no longer had any patience as he was extremely irritated right now, and he coldly looked at the Emperor. He didn't know why, but when he saw this person again, he felt an unspeakable sense of killing intent and disgust!
He waved his sleeve and took out the box Xuan Luo had given him. He threw it forward and it was caught by a shadow that had appeared before the Ancient Dao Emperor. The shadow respectfully handed it to the Ancient Dao Emperor.
"Wang Lin, I declare you as my Ancient Dao's guardian! Since you have some important matters to attend to, then you can leave. I hope you can come to the grand ceremony tomorrow." The Ancient Dao Emperor looked at Wang Lin profoundly and smiled. He seemed to not care about what had happened and no longer looked at Wang Lin.
Then the Ancient Dao Emperor said, "Invite the Empress!"
The irritation in Wang Lin's heart became even stronger and he turned to leave. But then the sounds of bells echoed in his ears and fused with the feeling in his heart. This made the irritation in his heart suddenly disappear without a trace.
Wang Lin was startled and looked back. He saw a woman wearing a phoenix robe walk out of the hall and make her way toward the Ancient Dao Emperor.

The woman was wearing a very colorful phoenix dress, giving her a noble temperament. She lowered her head, but her face was covered in a bead curtain, hiding her frown as she walked toward the Ancient Dao Emperor.
That sound of bells did not actually come from bells, but from the collision of the beads that covered her face.
At this moment, all members of the three clans on the square and platforms looked at this woman. She was not an absolute beauty, but there was an indescribable feeling about her. She was very soft and comfortable, as if she could calm the soul.
Her temperament was serene. Like the vast valley's silent beauty, only when a bird accidentally flew by from high above could it see the beauty of this place.
As Wang Lin stood there, the irritation in his heart disappeared the moment the woman appeared, as if it had never been there.
"Song Zhi…" Wang Lin immediately recognized this woman. He remembered when he first saw this woman outside of Blackstone City.
The Ancient Dao Emperor revealed a hint of joy. As the woman walked up, he waved his sleeve and spoke.
"Empress, come sit next to me. Today is a joyous event of my Ancient Dao and an important day for us."
The steps of the phoenix-dressed woman paused for a moment before she silently walked to the Ancient Dao Emperor's dragon throne and gently sat down. She raised her head and looked outside at the square.
She was still frowning and her face contained a hidden sense of confusion, giving people the sense that she was helpless.
The moment she raised her head, the first thing she saw was Wang Lin looking at her!
In this instant, their gazes collided inside the palace.
When their gazes intersected, Wang Lin felt his mind rumble. This came too suddenly, as if countless bolts of thunder had exploded at once. At his moment, his entire body, his origin soul, and even his soul trembled. It was as if this woman was an indispensable part of his life!
Wang Lin's expression changed as he stared at the woman, and his heartbeat accelerated. This woman gave him a familiar feeling, but it was hidden behind a curtain of fog. Wang Lin couldn't think of the source of this feeling!
"Wan Er… Li Qianmei… Zhou Ru… Red Butterfly…" Wang Lin looked at the woman's eyes and a list of faces appeared in his mind. However, he could not find the source of this familiarity.
"She doesn't seem like any of them…" When Wang Lin took a closer look, he found the woman to be very unfamiliar and greatly different from what he expected.
"Wang Lin!" A voice that wasn't loud but filled with majesty echoed in Wang Lin's ears.
"Has my empress attracted your attention so?" The Ancient Dao Emperor looked at Wang Lin with a flash of coldness in his eyes. He was the emperor, and everyone else had only taken one look at his empress before withdrawing their eyes. Yet this Wang Lin had continued to stare. He was already dissatisfied with Wang Lin, and now his words were cold as he frowned.
Wang Lin silently pondered and seemed to awaken thanks to the Ancient Dao Emperor's words. He revealed a complicated gaze and ignored the Ancient Dao Emperor but still looked at the phoenix-dressed woman.
He wanted to find the source of familiarity on this woman, but as he looked, he let out a sigh and revealed a melancholy gaze.
He didn't know this woman...
He vaguely found the root of this familiarity: it was her temperament. This calm temperament was very similar to Li Muwan's.
"It can't be Wan Er… It's just a similar in temperament, it's just an illusion…" With Wang Lin's current cultivation level, if this woman was really Li Muwan, he would be able to tell at a glance. However, no matter how much he looked, he could not find any of Li Muwan's aura.
"Wan Er is inside the Heaven Avoiding Coffin and her soul fragment is missing… I can't find it… This woman is not her, it's just that there are people with very similar temperament in this world…" Wang Lin closed his eyes to cover the sorrow within them.
The woman's face was slightly red and there was anger in her eyes, as if she was unhappy with Wang Lin's gaze. She didn't know why, but deep down, she felt a sense of familiarity. But as soon as this feeling appeared, it would strangely dissipate as if it didn't exist.
"I'm asking you a question!" The Ancient Dao Emperor raised his left hand and slammed down on the armrest of the dragon throne. There was a loud bang, but no damage was done to the armrest.
However, at this instant, more than a dozen sources of killing intent locked onto Wang Lin at the same time. They were hiding in the hall like strands of smoke, and as soon as the Emperor gave the command, they would attack.
Also at this moment, the people at the square and the hundreds of platforms noticed that something was abnormal. They had strange gazes as they looked at Wang Lin and the slightly angry woman in the phoenix dress.
"This woman looks a lot like my old friend…" Wang Lin opened his eyes and saw the indignation in her eyes. He was now certain she is not the one he was looking for...
However, the similarity in temperament evoked Wang Lin's sorrow and heart-wrenching pain.
"Oh?" The Ancient Dao Emperor's eyes lit up an undetectable amount. He looked at the woman and then at Wang Lin, then he suddenly revealed an elusive smile.
The Ancient Dao Emperor said, "Empress, do you recognize the future guardian of my Ancient Dao?"
The woman in the phoenix dress lowered her head and shook her head.
"The Imperial Teacher said that this soul fragment was sealed by him and no fluctuations would spread out. Even if the people closest to the soul fragment appeared, they wouldn't be able to detect it. Unless that person has divination power beyond that of the Imperial Teacher, not even Grand Empyreans can detect it." The Ancient Dao Emperor smiled faintly.
"Interesting. Could this soul fragment really be related to this Wang Lin?" The Ancient Dao Emperor was pleasantly surprised, but he still maintained that elusive smile.
The Ancient Dao Emperor slowly said, "Perhaps you both might really know each other. My Empress, walk down to my Ancient Dao's future guardian and let him have a closer look. If you two really know each other, it would be a joyous event."
The woman in the phoenix dress gently stood up and looked at Wang Lin before slowly walking down. Wang Lin looked at her and, for a moment, he felt like it was Li Muwan walking toward him. Even his heart and body trembled.
The woman stopped 10 feet away from Wang Lin, and the indignation in her eyes became even stronger. Wang Lin felt a very cold but familiar feeling. It made him forget that he was at the Ancient Dao palace, forget that he was at the Ancient clan, forget that he was at the Immortal Astral Continent, and he was back in the cave world. As they stared at each other, the sadness in his eyes seemed like it could melt the world.
The sadness was seen by the woman, and she suddenly felt pain in her heart. Confusion appeared in her eyes, but soon the confusion disappeared and turned back into indignation.
"You… are not her." After a long time, Wang Lin revealed a bitter expression. He suddenly wanted to get drunk so he could forget this pain and sorrow from his soul. He knew that what he had felt was just an illusion.
But this illusion made him recall the past from thousands of years ago and made his sorrow even more intense.
He staggered back a few steps. Wang Lin didn't look at the woman again or at the Ancient Dao Emperor, but he didn't leave. He returned to his table and sat down. He looked at the table for a long time before he grabbed the wine jug and took a big gulp.
However, although this wine was spicy, it was not enough to make him drunk...
Wang Lin rarely cried, but as he drank, tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. These tears flowed into his mouth with the wine and tasted very bitter. It was like the taste of his sadness.
The woman in the phoenix dress returned to the Emperor's side and calmed down. She kept her head lowered and didn't say a word. The smile on the Ancient Dao Emperor's face widened and his gaze sometimes fell on Wang Lin. There were flashes of pride and joy in his eyes.
"It looks like it is very likely that Wang Lin knows the soul fragment… And the confusion that appeared was likely due to Wang Lin… Unfortunately, no matter what your cultivation level is, no matter how much soul blood you have, and even with Xuan Luo as your teacher, the greatest sorrow is that you can't even recognize each other when you're right in front of each other… But this makes me very excited…" The Ancient Dao Emperor raised his cup and drank with the 100,000 people that had come to the banquet.
According to the tradition of the Ancient Dao, he should let the woman leave, but he didn't do this and instead made her stay. He continued to look at Wang Lin. It was as if this gave him the greatest satisfaction and pleasure.
Due to the Ancient Dao Emperor, the banquet had reached a peak. The crowds were filled with words of congratulations' it was very lively.
In this lively mess, Wang Lin silently sat there and drank mouthfuls of wine. The sadness in his eyes would not be washed away by the wine.
"Empress, Guardian Wang's mood seems down. You go drink with him for me." The Ancient Dao Emperor smiled.

The woman in the phoenix dress let out a sigh. She really didn't like this lively scene. In particular, Wang Lin's gaze made her feel a stab of pain in her heart, and not even she knew why this was happening.
However, every time she tried to think about it, she just felt more confused.
She gently got up and a shadow immediately appeared behind her and handed her a cup of wine. It floated behind her as she walked out of the palace, went into the crowded square, and made her way toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin was sitting there with his head lowered. In this short period of time, he had drunk seven or eight jugs of wine. He looked up at the woman standing before him and his eye seemed to become blurry again.
"You…" The woman looked at Wang Lin and was about to speak.
"Do you know how to play the zither…" Wang Lin asked bitterly. After he spoke, he shook his head and laughed at himself. He picked up the wine jug and touched the wine cup in the woman's hand. He drank the entire jug and then turned into a ray of light, flying into the distance.
Drops of wine scattered and one drop landed on the woman's face. It was very cold.
"Wan Er… Where is your soul!?" Wang Lin disappeared into the sky, but the woman vaguely heard his voice.
This voice was filled with sadness. She was not the only one who had heard it. Some of the people in the square and on the platforms had heard it too. The Ancient Dao Emperor also heard this, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became wider. He picked up the wine cup and took a sip.
He didn't see, Wang Lin didn't see, and no one here saw that when the woman in the phoenix dress heard the words "Wan Er," she revealed a struggling expression and confusion. However, it soon disappeared and her expression became hollow.
She walked back to the palace with a hollow expression. Behind her, the lively bustling of the party began once more.
"Wan Er… I'm willing to turn the entire sky upside down just to find your reflection…
"Wan Er, I would light the entire sky on fire just to give you a reason to no longer close your eyes.
"Wan Er, I would strike the entire world with thunder just so you could hear my voice.
"Wan Er, I have walked millions of kilometers and through countless worlds just to find your breath.
"Wan Er, I became a devil to kill dao and have defied the heavens to subvert the heaven and earth. I stood before you with my bleak and lonely back just so you could open those eyes of yours that calm me down.
"Wan Er, were is your soul!?!"
Tears flowed down Wang Lin's eyes as he walked through the brightly lit Ancient Dao imperial city. As he silently walked forward, his back revealed bleakness and loneliness.
His sorrow had always been buried deep inside his heart and was always covered by indifference. It would not easily appear, but when he saw that familiar temperament, Wang Lin could no longer cover it up and deceive himself. His tears flowed.
As he silently walked away, his tears dropped on the roofs of the houses he passed by. The lively sounds from the palace could still be heard, but Wang Lin didn't want to listen. He wanted to find a place where he could quietly be by himself and recount his memories.
He returned to the Ancient Dao Temple and returned to his own house. He sat down inside the house and had no heart to cultivate or look at the Grand Empyrean Sun in the cave world. He looked out at the colorful world for a long long time.
"I have heaven-piercing cultivation… But so what…
"I have the will to defy the heavens… But what of it…
"Even though I'm the guardian of the Ancient Dao, I can't find Wan Er's soul…" Wang Lin's face was filled with pain. He was unwilling to think about this problem. He had used his cultivation as an excuse to numb and deceive himself of all this. He had told himself that this was the only hope in finding Wan Er's soul.
However, he had cheated himself for thousands of years, but now, when he saw Song Zhi, who looked like Wan Er, he was unable to control his feelings.
Time slowly passed. Wang Lin locked himself inside the house and bore the heart-wrenching pain. He recalled the memories of the past. He could only rely on his memories to no longer feel lonely...
Like the ancestor of the Dong Lin Sect, who stayed in the dead sect and was only accompanied by his memories.
"In this world… There is someone else with such a temperament… But she is not Wan Er, she is song Zhi… I once met her back in Blackstone City…" After a long time, Wang Lin forced down the pain and memories in his heart. He didn't want to make himself vulnerable, it would not help him find Wan Er's soul.
With a deep sigh, Wang Lin closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, there was calmness. However, hidden deep within the calmness, there was still sorrow.
"Song Zhi…" As Wang Lin muttered, he raised his right hand and an overlapping shadow walked out from him. His five-element true body walked out, and in the middle was a mass of golden light. A shadow was inside this light - it was the metal essence true body that was about to form.
Wang Lin forced himself to be calm and no longer think about this matter. He told himself that Song Zhi was not Wang Er. He closed his eyes and was going to rely on cultivation to make himself stop recalling the past.
But just as Wang Lin closed his eyes, he suddenly reopened them. His eyes revealed monstrous golden light and a hint of shock!
"That's not right!!!
"I meet that Song Zhi outside of Blackstone City. Back then, that woman didn't give the feeling she did back at the palace. She was very ordinary, very ordinary. Although elegant, not like what I felt back at the palace!!"
Wang Lin's body trembled.
"If she had been the same as back at the palace, there is no way I wouldn't have noticed it back outside Blackstone City. I should have felt that hint of familiarity back then!
"But back then, I didn't feel anything at all, yet when I saw her again at the palace, I had that familiar feeling!!!
"Something is not right!!
"The Ancient Dao Emperor has searched for a concubine for hundreds of years and finally chose one. Song Zhi is not an absolute beauty, so why was she chosen...
"What kind of woman did the Ancient Dao Emperor spend hundreds of years searching for… Why did Song Zhi feel so different when I saw her again at the palace!?
"Why did I feel so upset when I went toward the palace and after I arrived? Why did killing intent appear when I saw the Ancient Dao Emperor? Why did it call disappear when I saw Song Zhi!?!"
Wang Lin suddenly stood up and his body trembled. His eyes shined brightly and lit up the whole house. His hair moved without any wind as if a hidden power was about to erupt!
"But I scanned her with my divine sense and wasn't able to find anything wrong. She was completely normal, only her temperament gave me a sense of familiarity...
"Why is this so…" Wang Lin's heart trembled. He could hear his own heartbeat accelerate. This kind of feeling was extremely rare for him. This was excitement, hesitation, and a mix of doubt and confusion. This was a tremor from disbelief or uncertainty.
A fire seemed to be suppressed in his heart, and it was suppressed to the point of erupting!
"Hundreds of years of selection… The huge gap between Song Zhi before and now… In the end, what is this secret that is driving me mad!!" Wang Lin's expression became distorted and he could barely control himself. He wanted to rush into the palace and capture the Ancient Dao Emperor to soul search him!
But… he could not!!
He was Xuan Luo's disciple and Xuan Luo was the guardian of the Ancient Dao. Xuan Luo was his teacher and had helped him greatly!! If he didn't have any evidence and went to the palace to kill the Emperor, he would not be able to live with himself. He would not be able to face the teacher that had helped him so much!
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he raised his right hand. A black jade suddenly appeared in his hand!
This jade gave off a dark and ghostly light, as if taking one look at it would trap your gaze. This jade was given to him by Esteemed Green Bull back in the Great Soul Sect. It came from the Dao Wang clan's genius who had planned everything to gain freedom for his clan. The genius who had taken out his own brain and heart and knelt before a statue of Wang Lin as if he was begging for forgiveness. It also looked like he was weighing the importance of his heart or mind as well!
"This jade can help you divinate the future once…" Wang Lin thought of the words that came from the jade.
Without hesitation, he crushed the jade and muttered a few chants. He opened his right hand and the jade turned into black gas. The black gas condensed into a little person who kowtowed nine times in Wang Lin's palm!
The moment it kowtowed, Wang Lin's mind rumbled and he saw the cave world. He saw a crystal clear hand take Li Muwan's soul fragment from the Heavenly Dao!
In a room, he saw a vague shadow covered in seven-colored light holding a bead in his hand. This bead contained Li Muwan's soul fragment!
He heard the vague shadow whisper something that shocked man in a royal robe.
He saw the surprise on the man in the royal robe, then the man took the soul away. The man spent hundreds of years picking a concubine to fuse with the soul and failed. Finally, Wang Lin saw a familiar woman. She was Song Zhi, and she had fused with the soul.
He saw the man in the royal robe pinch her cheek until the pain caused tears to flow from the eyes of the unconscious woman in the palace.
And he heard the words of the man in the royal robe!
The man in the royal robe was the Ancient Dao Emperor!
"Ye Dao! I'm going to kill you!" Wang Lin opened his eyes, and they were red from madness. His hair moved and he let out a roar that could tear apart the heavens and destroy the imperial power!
This roar contained a sense of madness and anger that was willing to destroy the world and give up his life without any hesitation!!
This was the most violent roar Wang Lin had let out since he was born, and it made the world tremble!!
This was Wang Lin filled with rage!

Wang Lin's roar spread out and shrouded a small portion of the imperial city. This shocked the hearts of everyone who heard it, and their faces were filled with horror.
Right now, most of the people had gone to the banquet, but there were even more people who were not qualified to go. They had to wait until tomorrow to view the ceremony from within the city.
Therefore, there were still many people from the three clans around, and sounds of music were echoing. Spirits were high and the atmosphere was very joyous. However, when Wang Lin let out the crazed howl of "Ye Dao! I'm going to kill you!" it shocked everyone and the music suddenly stopped.
The lively atmosphere and joy dissipated and was replaced with dead silence. Only the bright and colorful lights still dazzled, but there was a cold intent in the air!
"Whose voice is that!?!"
"Ye Dao… Ye Dao… Isn't that the name of the Ancient Dao Emperor!?!"
"This person… dares to say such arrogant words in the Ancient Dao imperial city?" After a brief moment of silence, the area that was touched by Wang Lin's howl was shrouded by cries of shock.
Inside the Ancient Dao Temple, the nine people under Xuan Luo were the closest to him. They opened their eyes in shock and looked up toward Wang Lin's valley behind the Ancient Dao Temple!
At the center of the Ancient Dao Temple, there was a completely sealed space. Xuan Luo was calmly sitting there with his eyes closed. He could feel that the time of his reincarnation was not far away. He wanted to refine Wang Lin a powerful faith treasure before he reincarnated!
Before him floated a five-colored sword. This sword was very strange - it had four blades. It didn't look like a sword, more like a fork.
Even at the edge, there was a hidden fifth blade that looked like it could appear at any moment.
Every once in a while, Xuan Luo would spit out a mouthful of green gas that surrounded the five-colored sword.
"I have refined this sword for a very long time, and now four blades have appeared. It is a critical moment, but once the fifth blade appears, it will be a powerful treasure for Wang Lin." Xuan Luo opened his eyes and smiled. There was even a hint of self pride in his expression.
After asking Wang Lin to send the gift to the Ancient Dao Emperor, he had gone into closed door cultivation to refine a faith treasure for him. He felt that after becoming Wang Lin's teacher, he still hadn't given him a powerful treasure, and he felt like he owed Wang Lin one. He had chosen to go into closed door cultivation, and a majority of his divine sense was shrouded around the sword, so he couldn't withdraw his divine sense in a short period of time.
However, just as he opened his eyes, he heard a crazed roar that wanted to destroy the world come from the wooden house in the valley!
This roar was filled with killing intent that could shake the world, and the words in that roar completely startled Xuan Luo.
He suddenly got up and looked behind him. His gaze seemed to be able to pierce the mountain and see everything inside the wooden house.
"What the hell happened!?" Xuan Luo felt his heart drop and felt like something big was happening. He waved his sleeve and quickly withdrew his divine sense. However, the sword had reached a critical moment in its refinement process, so it would take half an incense of time to withdraw his divine sense.
Feeling anxious, Xuan Luo quickly sent a message to his nine followers in the Ancient Dao Temple.
"Go to Wang Lin's place to find the reason. You must stabilize him until I get there!! Don't make a big deal of this matter!!"
Inside the wooden house, as Wang Lin's roar echoed, countless ripples echoed and spread across the area. These ripples contained Wang Lin's crazed howl, his conviction to kill the Ancient Dao Emperor, and also the destructive power inside his body!
As the roar echoed, the wooden bed Wang Lin was sitting on turned to dust. The wooden chair, table, and the entire house collapsed to dust. As the ripples echoed, a huge storm was formed inside the valley.
As the storm swept across the valley, the trees, grass, stone table, river, and everything inside the valley was turned to ash. The storm swept them all away into the sky!
Wang Lin was floating in the center of the storm. His hair was scattered and his eyes were abnormally red. He was emitting a monstrous killing intent. He… had gone crazy!!!
He had never been as crazed as he was now. It was as if his heart was being cut apart by a knife!
Before him, the metal essence in his five-element true body suddenly collapsed due to his rage. Then the metal essence true body suddenly formed!
When his metal essence true body appeared, the true body flew into the air and the rest of the five-element true body flew into the air as well. The five elements fused together before Wang Lin to form a complete five-element true body!!
The five-element true body was covered in a five colored light. Its eyes were closed, but now it suddenly opened its eyes, and they were filled with madness as well.
Wang Lin jumped into the air and his hair moved without any wind. His right hand reached toward his five-element true body. The five-element true body jumped up and fused with Wang Lin. At this moment, Wang Lin let out another roar.
As he roared, his cultivation level began to rise from late stage Void Tribulant to peak Void Tribulant! This confirmed that Wang Lin's speculation about his future cultivation path was true!
This should have made him very happy, but right now, Wang Lin didn't feel this change in cultivation level. The only thought in his mind was to slaughter his way to the palace, kill the Ancient Dao Emperor, and steal back Wan Er!!
His body was surrounded by a violent aura, and he waved his hand at the valley. The entire earth trembled and the entire Ancient Dao Mountain seemed to shake. In the cave underground, Wang Lin's Grand Empyrean Sun and the Celestial Ancestor head flew up. A crack appeared above the cave and Wang Lin's Grand Empyrean Sun brought the head out through the crack!
However, just at this moment, the nine people who had heard Xuan Luo's message arrived. The nine rays of light pierced through the sky and arrived above the valley.
At a glance, they could see that this place was in ruins. They saw the crack and the storm that had swept this place. Inside the storm was Wang Lin; his hair was scattered and he gave off a shocking killing intent!
"Young Master!! You…"
"What happened? Young Master, please calm down!"
"The nine of us came under the command of Lord Xuan to inquire. Young Master, please tell us."
The nine of them were shocked and they clasped their hands at Wang Lin.
Inside the storm, Wang Lin's eyes were cold and his right hand reached toward the ground once more. He let out another roar and the crack split open even more. A ray of black and white light flew out, instantly fusing with Wang Lin. The Celestial Ancestor head flew out as a ray of golden light and was put away into Wang Lin's storage space.
Having done all of this, Wang Lin suddenly turned and locked onto the Ancient Dao imperial city.
"Ye Dao!" Wang Lin clenched his teeth and didn't even look at the nine of them. He looked toward the palace and walked in its direction like thunder.
However, just as Wang Lin moved, the expressions of the nine of them changed and they got in front of Wang Lin to block him. Seven of them formed seals and a gas spread out from the Ancient Dao Temple. This gas turned into a large formation.
The nine of them didn't hesitate to open the formation of the Ancient Dao Temple to stop Wang Lin!
Wang Lin's figure paused for a moment and looked up. His bloodshot eyes revealed monstrous killing intent!!
"You dare to stop me!?"
The old man with the highest cultivation level looked at Wang Lin with fear in his eyes. His scalp was numb as he clasped his hands and said, "Young Master, please don't be angry. We are following Lord Xuan's order to make Young Master stay. After Lord Xuan arrives, a decision can be made."
"Teacher Xuan Luo…" Wang Lin's head felt a stab of pain. He knew that Xuan Luo was the guardian of the Ancient Dao, and even the current Ancient Dao Emperor had been chosen by Xuan Luo, but now he was going to...
"Scram for me!!" Wang Lin's eyes were filled with decisiveness. He was going to kill the Ancient Dao Emperor before Xuan Luo arrived so it wouldn't make things too difficult for his teacher!
This was Wang Lin's only path!
The expressions of the nine of them changed when a Grand Empyrean Sun appeared behind Wang Lin. This sun was more solid then back at Mount Gu Dao. When the sun appeared, the pupils of the nine people all shrank!
"Grand Empyrean!!!"
"This is a Grand Empyrean Sun!!!"
"He… He is actually a Grand Empyrean!!" The nine of them were filled with disbelief as Wang Lin lifted his right hand and waved. The world rumbled and the formation around the Ancient Dao Temple collapsed. The nine of them coughed out blood and were knocked back by the impact. Wang Lin didn't kill them. He turned into a ray of light and rushed out of the valley!
A ray of red light slaughtered its way toward the palace!

The capital of the Ancient Dao, the floating city. Most of the city was still lively and the music continued as if it was an auspicious day.
The things that had happened around the Ancient Dao Temple didn't spread out far due to the size of the imperial city and the specialness of the Ancient Dao Temple.
No one noticed that on the night before the wedding of the Ancient Dao Emperor, a great event that would shake not only the Ancient Dao, but even the entire Ancient clan, would occur!!
Countless people of the three clans were still singing and raising their cups. However, they heard a faint rumble that made them frown, then they looked up at the sky. The people that looked up felt their hearts tremble and suddenly stood up.
The music suddenly stopped as the rumble came from the distance.
In the sky, a meteor-like ray of light seemed to be creating a thunderous roar that would make the world tremble. As it flew, the thunder caused the earth to tremble and ripples to appear in the sky. It was like a swordfish flying through the air with the intention to split the sky in half!
An indescribable killing intent descended from the sky. Any members of the three clans who was invaded by this killing intent trembled and their eyes overflowed with fear!
They vaguely felt that something big was going to happen in the Ancient Dao imperial city!!
Wang Lin saw the lively palace in the sky. Going from the Ancient Dao Temple to this place, he had only spent a few breaths of time. This speed was comparable to Spatial Bending. The palace had restrictions around it, making it impossible to go in there directly.
Looking at the palace, Li Muwan's figure appeared in Wang Lin's eyes. This figure made Wang Lin feel like his heart was being cut apart and bleeding. He let out a roar and charged at the palace like a real madman.
However, when he was within 100 kilometers of the palace, several hundred shadows appeared and revealed themselves to be the armored guards of the palace!
Shortly after, a cloud of smoke rose like an army of stampeding horses and nearly 10,000 Ancient Dao members appeared. Thousands more came from different directions, forming a cage to block Wang Lin!
"It turns out to be Lord Wang Lin." One figure walked out from the sky, and when he saw Wang Lin, his eyes lit up and his expression became gloomy.
"Didn't Lord leave? Why did you break in here. Do you know that this is a death…" Before he finished speaking, Wang Lin let out a roar.
"Scram!! Anyone who blocks me will die!!" Wang Lin stepped forward like a ferocious beast. He threw a punch and the world rumbled. The dozens of people before him trembled and their bodies exploded!
The slaughter feast had begun; this first batch of kills was just the prelude!!
It was also at this moment that nine rays of light arrived behind Wang Lin. They were the nine people under Xuan Luo. When they saw Wang Lin kill, their faces turned pale.
"Quickly, tell the Emperor. Wang Lin… He wants to kill the Emperor!!" Although the old man with the highest cultivation level followed Xuan Luo, his fervor toward the imperial power made him disobey Xuan Luo's order.
When these words echoed, the expressions of the 10,000 palace guards all changed greatly. They were shocked by Wang Lin's punch but were awakened by these words.
However, it was too late. Thunderous rumbles and miserable screams echoed. Wang Lin continued to walk forward, and anyone who blocked him died a miserable death.
The nine people under Xuan Luo gritted their teeth and rushed toward Wang Lin. They had used some unknown spell to appear before Wang Lin and had suddenly chosen to attack!
To the nine of them, if given the choice between Xuan Luo and the imperial power, they would choose the imperial power without hesitation!!
"You all are courting death!" Wang Lin originally didn't want to kill the nine of them, but they had tried to block him several times. When they appeared before Wang Lin, a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes. He waved his right hand and a huge palm print appeared. It was the War Spirit Print!!
The moment the print appeared, 99 afterimages appeared, then, in a flash, even more appeared, for a total of 121 afterimages. They all fused together, causing a sixth finger, seventh finger, eighth finger, ninth finger… Until a 10th finger appeared!!
A 10-fingered palm rushed toward them. The nine people clenched their teeth and the ancient power in their bodies surged to resist. A thunderous rumble echoed before the palace.
As the thunderous rumbles echoed, the nine of them screamed and weren't able to resist at all. The moment they were touched by the palm, their bodies collapsed and all nine died!
As they died, the palm swept forward and guards who were blocking the palm died. This place was immediately filled with the smell of blood.
If it was the celestial clan's imperial city, everyone who saw this would have scattered. They would never rush up to die if they knew the difference in strength was so great.
However, this place was the Ancient clan, where the imperial power was supreme. The rest of the guards rushed out as if they were crazy and burned their blood to stop this palm.
The palace 100 kilometers away was still as lively as before. Countless people were coming up to drink and congratulate the Ancient Dao Emperor.
The Ancient Dao Emperor was still smiling and he would sometimes laugh out loud. Song Zhi was silently sitting beside him with her head lowered, thinking of something.
However, the Ancient Dao Emperor would look at Song Zhi with a playful smile. He was very happy right now. In fact, it had been a long time since he was this happy.
He was 90% certain that Wang Lin and the soul knew each other. And from Wang Lin's appearance, their relationship was not simple, as if they were dao partners.
Every time he thought of this, he would begin to laugh and would drink a cup of wine. He liked this feeling. Later on, when the time to play with his empress came, he would fantasize about Wang Lin's painful expression.
"What right do you have to get the soul blood? I'm the descendent of the Ancient Ancestor! What right do you have to become Xuan Luo's disciple when I bitterly begged but was still rejected by Xuan Luo?
"What right do you have!? You are merely an ant from a cave world, just a barbarian. How dare you compare to a genius like me!! Now you come to my Ancient Dao and you dare not to kneel before me? Wang Lin, you got guts. You don't consider me important at all. I don't care what cultivation level you are at; in the Ancient clan, you must kneel when you see me!!
"If you don't kneel, it's fine. After tomorrow's ceremony, I'll go play with my empress, see how your woman tastes!!
"From his appearance, he was bitterly searching, but he didn't know that the woman he has been searching for is right beside me and is my empress!!" When the Ancient Dao Emperor thought of this, he raised his cup and began to laugh once more.
Seeing the Ancient Dao Emperor laugh for no reason, the people on the platform raised their cups with smiles.
But before they could drink these cups of wine, and the Ancient Dao Emperor's laughter hadn't even finished yet, they all heard a thunderous rumble come from outside the palace!!
When the rumble rang out, it was muffled, but this caused the noise here to suddenly stop. Everyone instantly looked toward the source of the rumble.
However, due to the restriction of divine senses in the palace, they could only see a blur. More importantly, there was a crazed aura blocking all divine senses in that place, so not even the Ancient Dao Emperor could see anything.
"No harm!" the Ancient Dao Emperor slowly said. He put the wine cup next to his mouth and took a sip.
His action calmed the people on the square and the platforms down. They were not worried, as this was the Ancient Dao imperial palace, the center of the Ancient Dao. The protection here was powerful - they didn't believe anyone could break in here and survive.
The square became lively once more and the congratulations echoed once more.
However, as the rumbles from outside became louder, everyone became silent once more. No one noticed that the Ancient Dao Emperor's hand trembled a bit as he put down the wine cup.
He frowned and stared into the distance.
The Ancient Dao Emperor slowly said, "Where are the guards?!"
As he spoke, the 108 Jins all stood up and dropped to one knee before the Ancient Dao Emperor.
"Go out and kill the troublemaker, bring me his head!"
"As you command!" the 108 Jin said at once. Their voices fused together into a sound wave and released a powerful surge of killing intent.
They turned into 108 rays of light and the 108 Jins rushed outside the palace!
After the 108 Jins flew out, the Ancient Dao Emperor said, "Send the Empress to rest!" Two shadows appeared behind Song Zhi and bowed toward her.
Song Zhi stood up and the confusion in her eyes became even stronger. She looked toward the place where the rumbles were coming from. The words "Wan Er" were still echoing in her mind.
"Still not going back?" The Ancient Dao Emperor frowned and looked at Song Zhi with a cold and heartless gaze.
Song Zhi seemed to be very afraid. Her body trembled and she lowered her head. She was going to follow the two shadows when a thunderous roar echoed. It was very close, as if it was right outside the square!
As the roar echoed, the Ancient Dao Emperor suddenly looked over and his expression changed greatly!
He saw the 108 Jins' figures get knocked back, and they coughed out blood. Their bodies exploded in the sky and only one person didn't die. He fell to the ground and knelt down before the Emperor. He let out a sharp roar that echoed across the square as he coughed out blood.
"It's Wang Lin!! He wants to kill the Emperor!!!"

This sharp roar shocked the entire square and everyone on the platforms. Their expressions changed greatly. They still didn't believe that Wang Lin, who had been in a low mood and just left, would return in such a short period of time to kill the Ancient Dao Emperor!
But the deaths of the 107 Jins and their exploded bodies was testament to the truth of the statement.
Before people could react to the roar, an even more powerful roar echoed. A giant palm 1,000 feet large arrived. This palmprint was very strange - it had 10 fingers. As it closed in, a green light appeared around the square and collided with the palmprint.
A thunderous rumble echoed, shaking the entire palace. The 10-fingered palm dissipated, but the green light curtain trembled violently before it collapsed into countless fragments as well.
A wave of bloody wind came from outside the square and swept into the dead-silent square. Everyone's gazes gathered on where the palmprint had disappeared. They looked like they were going to face a great enemy.
The Ancient Dao Emperor's face was pale. He clenched his fists as he stared at where the palmprint was, and his eyes filled with anger!
Song Zhi also looked at that direction. There was a flash of confusion in her eyes, and at the same time, her heart trembled, feeling as if a memory was going to awaken.
The two shadows that had received the order to take her away seemed to have forgotten the Ancient Dao Emperor's order. Their pupils shrank and their hearts sank as they looked at where the palm had disappeared.
There was a dense blood mist moving at that location; it was a shocking sight. Sound of footsteps echoed from the mist toward the silent square.
The sound came from the blood mist, and when it entered the ears of everyone here, it was as if it was stepping on their heartbeats. This made them feel suppressed and fear arose from the bottom of their hearts.
As the footsteps closed in, the people of the three clans on the platforms all subconsciously retreated. They felt like the thing that would come out of the blood mist would be a ferocious ancient beast that would devour the world and slaughter all life.
In this silence, the Ancient Dao Emperor suddenly said, "Kill this man!" His voice was calm without any tremor, as if the Ancient Dao Emperor was still very calm. However, if you looked at his face, you would find that behind the anger in his eyes, there was fear.
After the Ancient Dao Emperor spoke, more than a dozen smoke-like shadow appeared from the palace. These shadows rushed out toward the blood mist and instantly closed in.
The moment the dozens of shadows entered the blood mist, miserable screams echoed. These screams were extremely miserable and they gradually disappeared one after another.
Although the miserable screams had disappeared, the echoes lingered in the hearts of the people. This made the Ancient Dao Emperor even more gloomy.
"Why have you both not take the Empress away!?" He turned his head and looked at the two shadows behind Song Zhi. They trembled and quickly nodded. The two moved and turned into a vortex that surrounded Song Zhi. The vortex rushed toward the palace.
But just at this moment, a cold and crazed roar came from the blood mist.
"You dare!?" This voice contained a penetrating force and caused the two people inside the vortex to tremble. This voice filled hearts with endless fear and they seemed to be unable to control their bodies. They felt like a grand calamity would descend upon them if they took one more step!
The moment they stopped and turned back into two shadows, a fuzzy figure appeared in the blood mist. As his footsteps echoed, the figure walked out of the blood mist.
The moment this figure walked out, the gazes of everyone here gathered on him.
When they clearly saw the figure, gasps echoed. He had a head of white hair and a white robe, but now the white robe was covered in blood. His eyes were filled with madness and had turned blood-red!
It was Wang Lin!!
He had killed with every step and had killed a large amount of people on his way to the palace. This was the second time he had come here today. Before, he had come to hand over a congratulatory gift from his teacher, but now he was here to take someone away!
"Wang Lin, what are you going to do?!" The Ancient Dao Emperor stared at Wang Lin across the square and the nearly 100,000 people from all three clans.
Wang Lin walked out from the blood mist. He didn't look at the Ancient Dao Emperor but looked gently at Song Zhi, whose eyes were filled with confusion.
"I'm going to take her away!" Wang Lin raised his right hand and pointed at Song Zhi. He then looked at the Ancient Dao Emperor coldly.
The Ancient Dao Emperor's heart trembled and his face turned pale under Wang Lin's gaze. However, this immediately turned into endless anger. He was the Ancient Dao Emperor, he was a supreme existence in the Ancient Dao, he was a descendent of the Ancient Ancestor, he was the proud genius of the heavens!!
He was recognized by Grand Empyrean Gu Dao. No one could decide if he lived or died, his will was the will of the Ancient Dao. Now, on the day before his big wedding, someone who he considered an ant and was extremely jealous of wanted his empress. This made him laugh in anger.
"Wang Lin, you are the disciple of Lord Xuan and the future guardian of the Ancient Dao. I have always treated you well. You didn't want to kneel, so you didn't have to kneel. You didn't want to participate in the banquet, so I allowed you to leave...
"I have treated you so well, but now you have killed members of the Ancient Dao and broke into the place. Now you want to take my empress before everyone!!!
"Wang Lin, you have gone too far! How are you protecting my Ancient Dao? You clearly want to destroy my Ancient Dao!! Such a vile person, everyone must know!!"
The Ancient Dao Emperor waved his hand and roared, "Come, kill this Wang Lin and bring me his head!!" At the same time, he looked toward the Ancient Dao Temple with a gloomy expression.
Wang Lin silently closed his eyes. In order to not make his teacher feel bad, he had forced himself to calm down when he arrived. He had given the Ancient Dao Emperor a chance. If the Emperor had handed over Song Zhi, then there might have been a chance of redemption between him, his teacher, and the Ancient Dao...
But now...
Wang Lin opened his eyes and the madness in his eyes lit up. A monstrous killing intent erupted.
"If you don't agree… then you can die!!" Wang Lin let out a roar and stepped forward. As he raised his foot, all of the Ancient Dao members rushed forward even though they knew they were no match. Under the command of the Ancient Dao Emperor, they rushed forward and killing intent appeared in their hearts!
In the Ancient Clan, the imperial power was supreme and the words of the Ancient Dao Emperor were everything! In their eyes, Wang Lin was betraying the Ancient clan and had to be killed!
Facing the madness of the people rushing at him, Wang Lin stepped forward and thunderous rumbles echoed. Anyone who blocked him, no matter their identity or cultivation level, collapsed into piles of flesh and blood before him.
In just a moment, countless people died, but even more people rushed forward. Even some members of the other two clans decided to charge at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin was hundreds of thousands of feet from the palace where the Ancient Dao Emperor was. Wang Lin closed in on the palace like a storm and thunderous rumbles continued to echo.
"Anyone who blocks me will die!!" Wang Lin let out a roar and threw a punch. The dozens of Ancient Dao members before him died.
At the same time, on the square, a giant shadow appeared behind each Ancient Dao member. There were thousands of ancient gods, demons, and devils. They all let out a roar and rushed toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin didn't stop, and at this moment, an Ancient Dao shadow appeared behind him. This shadow seemed to support the world, and he waved his hand after the shadow appeared!
As he waved, the giant figure behind him also waved its arm and began a crazed bombardment with all the shadows rushing toward Wang Lin.
The thunderous rumbles echoed across the palace and countless cracks appeared on the earth; even the sky seemed like it was going to be torn open. The thousands of Ancient Dao shadows collapsed and the thousands of Ancient Dao members exploded.
Wang Lin's body trembled and the madness in his eyes became even stronger. He continued to walk forward, and in the blink of an eye, he was at the center of the square. He was even closer to the Ancient Dao Emperor!
"Sound the drum and activate the Flying City Formation. Summon all clan members to the palace to destroy this person!!" The fear in the Ancient Dao Emperor became even stronger. He retreated a few steps and let out a roar.
With this roar, countless figures flew out from the depths of the palace and charged at the palace. Everyone inside the palace closed in!
Shortly after, bang, bang, bang… The sound of the drum echoed across the sky. The sky changed colors and the sound spread across the whole city.
The sound of the drum echoed across the world and the expression of every Ancient Dao member changed greatly. This drum beat was different from before - it contained a strange force and meant that the Ancient Dao imperial palace was facing a crisis!
Every Ancient Dao member who heard this sound would have to use their life to protect the Ancient Dao!
At the same time, lights of transfer arrays appeared in hundreds of places across the city. Every transfer array would allow people to arrive at the palace at the quickest speed.

"Scram, scram, scram!!" Wang Lin seemed to have gone mad and continued to punch as he walked forward. Very few people were a match for his punches and immediately died.
Wang Lin could not see the figures rushing at him while surrounded by so many people. Even more people arrived as transfer arrays flashed. They were all startled for a moment before they rushed toward Wang Lin without any hesitation.
At this moment, Wang Lin could only see Wan Er's figure in the palace before him.
As more and more people arrived, they completely blocked Wang Lin's vision. As time passed, Wang Lin let out a roar and jumped into the air. It was impossible to teleport or use Spatial Bending here. When Wang Lin jumped into the air, half of his hair turned black.
The moment this blackness appeared, Wang Lin's Grand Empyrean sun outline appeared behind him, causing another sun to appear in the sky!
The moment this sun appeared, the expression of the Ancient Dao Emperor changed greatly and he was filled with disbelief. He lost himself and exclaimed,
"Grand Empyrean!"
Not only him, but there were now tens of thousands of Ancient Dao members surrounding Wang Lin, and when they saw this strange black and white sun, their minds rumbled.
"Grand Empyrean!!"
"He… He is actually a Grand Empyrean!!"
In the distance, Prince Ji Du became excited when he saw this. He had waited for this day, and at this moment, he retreated while sneering at the Ancient Dao Emperor.
"The Ancient Dao… has attracted a great calamity, all because of this muddleheaded emperor!"
Prince Ji Du was excited as the black and white Grand Empyrean sun expanded, releasing endless light. At the same time, Wang Lin let out a roar and raised his right hand as if he was raising his Grand Empyrean sun. He waved at the tens of thousands of Ancient Dao members blocking him.
With this wave, the Grand Empyrean sun flew at the earth like a meteor. The howl from the sun even replaced the sound of the drums!
Thunderous rumbles echoed as a powerful shockwave spread out. Everyone who was touched by this shockwave died and their bodies turned to ashes. This power erupted in the square before the palace.
The earth collapsed and the world trembled. Countless platforms flying in the sky disintegrated. A majority of the tens of thousands of Ancient Dao clan members dissipated as if a powerful wind had swept them away.
After everything was destroyed, the Grand Empyrean sun flew toward the palace. At this moment, a shadow appeared. It was an old man who was also wearing a royal robe. He gave off pressure without revealing anger, and he raised his right palm to face the Grand Empyrean sun.
The old man was standing 60,000 feet from the palace, and behind him were nearly 1,000 powerful members of the palace, including the 72 Saints, 36 Fiends, 18 Kings, and nine Immortal Generals. They hadn't participated in the battle before because they were guarding the palace!
The moment the old man appeared, the 1,000 people revealed a feverish amount of excitement. Even the Ancient Dao Emperor became respectful.
The moment the old man's palm collided with the Grand Empyrean sun, his expression immediately changed. Popping sounds came from his body and his hair was blown back. He coughed out a mouthful of blood as he was knocked back and he let out a roar.
"With my blood, I activate the Ancient clan's Great Restriction!!"
The moment his words came out, a dark light came out from the blood he had coughed out. It scattered to from a huge light curtain. This light curtain was like a wall that appeared before the old man. It was endless and it blocked everything.
The moment the light curtain appeared, it collided with Wang Lin's Grand Empyrean sun. It created a thunderous rumble that echoed across the entire imperial city and slowly dissipated.
The square looked very strange now. Everything outside the light curtain was destroyed and in ruins, but everything behind the curtain remained the same.
However, how could the Grand Empyrean sun be blocked so easily? The light curtain flashed a few times after blocking Wang Lin's Grand Empyrean sun and then shattered.
As for the old man, his face was pale and his right arm turned to ashes. He coughed out blood once more and looked shrivelled up. His body was hit with a powerful force and he was knocked back next to the Ancient Dao Emperor.
"Father!" the Ancient Dao Emperor immediately shouted, helping the old man up. However, the old man gritted his teeth and ignored the right arm he had lost. Instead, he raised his left hand and slapped the Ancient Dao Emperor.
With a bang, a five-fingered mark appeared on the right side of the Ancient Dao Emperor's face.
"Scram!! You provoked such a powerful enemy for my Ancient Dao just for a woman! Why don't you go die!! I will definitely go to Mount Gu Dao to see Grand Empyrean Gu Dao to establish a new emperor!" The old man was clearly furious and his voice was like thunder.
There was a flash of coldness in the Ancient Dao Emperor's eyes and he touched his face. He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the old man gloomily.
"Father, you deal with the matter before us first. As for other matter, you don't need to worry. Thanks to Grand Empyrean Gu Dao, I can't die." The Ancient Dao Emperor's words were cold.
"You!" The old man was angry, but he turned and stared at Wang Lin, who was walking closer. His eyes were filled with fear.
Aside from the nearly 1,000 people before the great hall and the people of the other two clans, who had scattered, the square was empty. It was filled with blood that was about to form a river.
Wang Lin walked on the ground and stepped through the blood. There were only about 1,000 people between him and the palace, but there were many powerful people among them.
Wang Lin's gaze moved past the 1,000 people at the temple, the old man, the Ancient Dao Emperor, and also Song Zhi, who was looking at him.
Song Zhi's eyes were filled with confusion and contained a hint of struggle.
In the distance, rays of light flew out from the palace and came in from all directions. There were no less than tens of thousands of people, and as the transfer arrays lit up, even more Ancient Dao members arrived.
This was the Ancient Dao's capital and imperial city. There were countless people here, and now that it was the wedding of the Emperor, the number of people here was even greater.
No matter how powerful Wang Lin was, even if he was comparable to a Grand Empyrean, he would still be exhausted at some point if he was surrounded...
What's more, this was the palace. There were many formations here, and it was likely that there were even relics left by the Ancient Ancestor. It was like a mortal walking into a tiger's den. But Wang Lin didn't care about any of this - his only thought was to take away Wan Er!
The father of the Ancient Dao Emperor walked next to Song Zhi and roared at Wang Lin, "Stop!! If you take another step, this old man will kill this woman!"
Song Zhi's face turned pale, but she revealed no fear. Her eyes were still filled with confusion as she looked at Wang Lin. Her memories seemed like they were about to awaken, but a seal made her unable to remember.
Wang Lin's stopped and his gaze still never looked at the old man. He looked at the woman with a gentle gaze, but his words made the old man's heart tremble.
"If she dies, I'll leave… But I'll spend the rest of life to make sure the Ancient Dao ceases to exist and make the three Ancient clans into two Ancient clans!
"I'm capable," Wang Lin slowly said. As he had said, with his strength, he could do it!
The killing intent within those words made the old man lick his lips. His left hand trembled a bit, and he believed Wang Lin could do this. His eyes were filled with killing intent, but he gave up on killing the woman. After all, only with this woman here would they have a chance to kill Wang Lin. Before he came, he had already crushed the jade to inform Grand Empyrean Gu Dao. This meant that the royal family was in danger and required Grand Empyrean Gu Dao's protection.
After Wang Lin finished speaking, he no longer spoke and walked forward toward the 1,000 people before him as tens of thousands more rush over!
"Kill!!" As Wang Lin walked toward the 1,000 people, the 72 Saints of the Ancient Dao let out a unified roar. They led hundreds of clans members toward Wang Lin.
As they closed in, the 72 Saints raised their right hands and smash down on Wang Lin. Behind them, 72 huge shadows appeared and bombarded Wang Lin.
Madness appeared in Wang Lin's eyes. He didn't attack, but opened his mouth and roared at the 72 Saints!
With this roar, the Ancient Dao shadow behind him also opened its mouth and let out a roar!
This roar contained all of Wang Lin's cultivation and his ancient cultivation, along with the power of his soul blood. This sound wave collided with the 72 Saints.
Although the 72 Saints were not weak and had attacked together, they all collapsed before Wang Lin's roar.
The moment they died, Wang Lin moved like a storm and slaughtered his way into the crowd before him. Rushing forward like crazy, he grabbed someone's head with his right hand and crushed it. Then he waved his left hand and killed another. After killing another, he opened his mouth and a ray of red light flew out. It was the blood sword, and it killed dozens of people. Wang Lin charged forward, and now he was less than 30,000 feet from the palace!
There were 36 rays of blood light flying toward Wang Lin. They were the 36 Fiends!
There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes and his right hand formed a seal. Green smoke appeared around his five fingers. The smoke swirled around his fingers, and when they spread out, a monstrous fire appeared.
It was the Extreme Fire of the Eight Extreme Dao! However, just before Wang Lin used this spell, a sigh came from the heavens and earth.
This sigh was filled with sadness, disappointment, and a feeling of desolation and regret...
"Wang Lin…"
Wang Lin's body trembled.

As Wang Lin walked through the palace while surrounded by thousands, a sigh from his teacher, Xuan Luo, echoed. Just a few breaths before this, in a mountain far away from the Ancient Dao imperial city, something else was happening.
The inside of the mountain was completely hollow, but from the outside, not even Grand Empyreans would notice it. Inside was a great formation, one so extremely complex that it would make one's vision blurry from just looking at it.
The formation released white light and flashed nonstop. It gave off a strange feeling, and at the center sat a blurry figure covered in seven-colored light. The figure was forming seals and placing them on the formation.
Just as the seven-colored seals landed, an illusion appeared inside the formation. This illusion was a miniature version of the Ancient Dao imperial palace.
There were black and white dots scattered across the miniature palace. There were tens of thousands of black dots, but compared to the white dots, they were still inferior. The white dots occupied almost the entire palace and were still increasing in number.
There were 1,000 white dots, and they surrounded the only red dot. This red dot was soaked in a bloody aura and remained motionless.
"Black represents dead souls and white stands for vitality… This red dot… is Wang Lin… Wang Lin, we meet again!" The blurry seven-colored figure smiled and a hoarse voice echoed.
"This old man pulled her… soul fragment back then and gave it to the Ancient Dao Emperor. He indeed did as I planned and found someone to fuse with the soul to title as his empress...
"And you came to the Ancient Dao palace, as I expected… Kill, the more you kill, the greater the benefit for this old man!" The blurry seven-colored light smiled, but when he said "soul fragment," his voice became faint but soon recovered. He raised his right hand and white light shined. As his left hand rose, black light shrouded his hand. This caused the colors surrounding him to become nine colors!
At the same time, a ray of grey gas appeared out of nowhere and fused with the nine colors, making it 10 colors!!
"The grey body formed in the cave world is now complete…" the blurry figure murmured, his voice hoarse.
The grey gas was that ray of ghostly light from when Wang Lin left the cave world. Not even Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo had detected it!!
"Unfortunately, I suffer… limitations and can only absorb the death aura from Wang Lin's slaughter. Otherwise, if this old man acted personally, I could gather the amount of death aura I need in a short period of time so I can…" The figure paused twice while speaking. It was as if he was limited by something and was even afraid of the goal he was trying to achieve with the death aura, so he didn't want to say it clearly.
"This Wang Lin's slaughter in the cave world satisfied me, but once he came to the Immortal Astral Continent, he killed very little. If not for that, this old man could have finished gathering and would not have needed to use the Ancient Dao backup… Fortunately, I was prepared and removed her… soul fragment early on." The blurry figure paused again on "her," and his voice trembled before becoming silent.
After a long time, there was a flash of coldness in the blurry figure's eyes.
"Since I have chosen to do this, I no longer have a need to be afraid. At most, my consciousness will be erased, but once I succeed…" The blurry figure trembled in excitement.
"This old man has prepared for so many years, I can't fail! Let's first extract the dead soul from the palace!" The blurry figure raised his right hand and pointed at the miniature of the palace inside the formation before him.
With this, the black dots all trembled and became faint, as if they were about to be absorbed by the formation. At this instant, a force seemed to shroud those black dots and bounced back. They were no longer faint and seemed to reject being absorbed by the formation.
The expression of figure surrounded by the 10 colors changed, and he exclaimed, "They…"
At this moment, in the Ancient Dao imperial city, when the sigh came from the sky, Wang Lin suddenly stopped. He seemed to forget about the danger, the 36 Fiends charging at him, and the Ancient Dao Emperor tens of thousands of feet away.
The red in Wang Lin's eyes gradually dissipated and the madness and ferociousness on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by bitterness as the figure walked over.
He knew that his teacher would definitely come and would definitely stop him. That's why he hadn't explained at all and had tried to kill the Ancient Dao Emperor and take Li Muwan away as fast as possible.
Wang Lin had long seen the Ancient Dao Emperor's thoughts and behavior from the jade he had been given at the Great Soul Sect. He had even heard what the Ancient Dao Emperor had muttered beside the bed.
On top of all these things, the Ancient Dao Emperor had made Song Zhi drink with Wang Lin. How could the Ancient Dao Emperor not have realized it after seeing Wang Lin's expression? He was just immersed in the pleasure of controlling a pair of lovers.
Therefore, once Wang Lin understood everything, he issued a howl saying he was going to kill Ye Mo, kill this Ancient Dao Emperor!
He had considered hiding his anger and calmly entering the palace again to take Song Zhi away. However, his bottom line was touched. If he could endure it, it wouldn't be his bottom line!
Although attacking an unprepared Emperor seemed to be the right action, it would be an even worse situation than now! It would have been an assassination! With his strength, charging into the palace in a fit of rage can be considered him losing his mind due to anger.
But if he were to assassinate, then that meant that he was very calm. If he did such a thing while thinking calmly, then the damage to Xuan Luo's reputation would be impossible to repair. Wang Lin understood all of this, so he wouldn't choose to do that.
Wang Lin wouldn't choose such methods. He was going to take away Wan Er's soul, kill the Ancient Dao Emperor, and do it all in broad daylight. The only thing he had to consider was his teacher's feelings...
"Teacher…" Wang Lin clasped his hands and bowed at the person walking toward him. He didn't get up and continued to bow even though the 36 Fiends had used this chance to close in on him.
In the sky, Xuan Luo walked out and looked at Wang Lin. He seemed to have aged at lot and he waved at the ground below.
With this wave, the 36 Fiends all coughed out blood and retreated in fear. Everyone beside Wang Lin was knocked away 10,000 feet, leaving only Wang Lin, who continued to bow.
The Ancient Dao Emperor sneered when he saw Xuan Luo appear. His eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward. "Lord Xuan, Wang Lin broke into the palace and tried to steal my empress. He has betrayed us as Lord Xuan's disciple I hope Lord Xuan…"
Before he finished speaking, Xuan Luo suddenly turned toward him.
"Scram for me!!"
The Ancient Dao Emperor trembled and coughed out blood as he retreated several steps. He looked at the blood he had coughed out in disbelief. He didn't expect Xuan Luo to dare to injure him!
He was about to speak again, but when he saw the killing intent and anger in Xuan Luo's eyes, he swallowed his words. His expression was gloomy, but he didn't dare to speak again.
"Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo…" The father of the Ancient Dao Emperor, the old man who had lost his right arm, sighed and bowed at Xuan Luo.
"This child doesn't respect the imperial power, but I believe the respected guardian of the Ancient Dao will deal with his matter fairy. After all, this person killed tens of thousands of powerful people of my Ancient Dao. He has endangered the Ancient Dao, and this is unforgivable!" The old man was much smarter than the current emperor. His words put the focus on the fact that Wang Lin had killed many people.
Xuan Luo silently pondered, then he looked at Wang Lin. His eyes were filled with regret and sorrow. There was also confusion, and his face seemed even older. He looked at his disciple, who was still kneeling there. His lips trembled, but he was unable to speak.
After a very long time, Xuan Luo took a deep breath and said, "Why…"
Wang Lin let out a sigh. He looked up at Xuan Luo with a complicated expression. He couldn't repay Xuan Luo for the kindness he shown. He didn't want to disappoint Xuan Luo from the bottom of his heart.
"Teacher… Don't be angry." Wang Lin raised his right hand and hit his chest. He coughed out a large full of blood and waved his hand. The blood scattered and fused with the blood on the ground, revealing a monstrous blood light. With Wang Lin's blood as a guide, bodies began to form out of thin air.
These bodies were all the people killed by Wang Lin.
Back then, with Ye Mo's cultivation, he could use a few mouthfuls of blood create the ancient gods, ancient demons, and ancient devils of the cave world. Now Wang Lin had the soul blood. With the inheritance he had obtained after fusing with the soul blood, he could do this as well, and he was countless times more powerful than Ye Mo.
These bodies appeared one by one. Tens of thousands of people, and not one person was missing. Their bodies formed and all the blood on the ground disappeared. Wang Lin's face was pale as he opened his arms. The tens of thousands of souls flew out and fused with their respective bodies.
Wang Lin had killed tens of thousands of people, but he had only destroyed their bodies and taken their souls away. However, he was too powerful, so no one here had seen through him.
Xuan Luo was his teacher - how could he do something that would make Xuan Luo sad?

When the tens of thousands of people appeared, the eyes of the nearly 1,000 people outside the palace widened in disbelief. Even the Ancient Dao Emperor's expression changed and became even more gloomy.
His father, the old man, gasped. He hadn't noticed anything before, and now he looked at Wang Lin with even deeper fear in his eyes.
As those souls returned to their bodies, the tens of thousands of people opened their eyes. After a moment of confusion, they awakened completely.
Bursts of cries echoed. They felt like they should have died, but now it was all like a dream as they were revived!
However, they were not as strong as before death and had weakened a lot. Although this spell was mysterious, it was unable to make so many people recover their original power.
However, due to the soul blood in Wang Lin's body, although their power had been weakened, they would only need a few decades to recover completely.
Only someone with the soul blood could use such a spell that was close to the power of the Ancient Ancestor. After the cries, they all became silent and looked at Wang Lin with complicated expressions.
Among them were the nine people under Xuan Luo. They let out sighs and felt like they had just escaped a great calamity.
Their souls had been taken by Wang Lin, so they understood that the reason they were revived was because of Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's face was extremely pale. Although he had the soul blood, using a spell like this would still harm him greatly. In order to not disappoint Xuan Luo, he had made this decision when he decided to break into the palace.
Whether he succeeded or failed, he was going to take the souls of everyone he had killed and then revive them once Xuan Luo arrived.
Facing this unimaginable scene, Xuan Luo was moved. With his cultivation level, he could see that Wang Lin could do all of this due to the drop of soul blood.
"With three drops of soul blood, one can create a new clan…" This had been passed down throughout the generations. Now that Xuan Luo saw this, he believed it.
Wang Lin raised his head. His pale face made him look sickly. He looked at Xuan Luo and softly said, "Teacher… Disciple didn't really kill a single Ancient Dao member…"
"Even though he didn't kill anyone, he has weakened many powerful members of the Ancient Dao and broke into the palace, disrespecting the imperial power. If word of this spreads out to the Ancient Shi and Ancient Ji, the Ancient Dao will lose all face. He still needs to die!" the Ancient Dao Emperor suddenly said. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Wang Lin.
"Wang Lin, tell Teacher the reason." Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin and his expression gradually softened. He thought Wang Lin didn't care about his feelings and had gone on a wanton killing spree that would result in irreparable damage and regret. Not only would this have made his heart ache, it would've also made him feel disappointment.
For his only disciple, he had done everything he needed to do as a teacher; he had even taken Wang Lin as his own son. He had prepared everything Wang Lin needed for cultivation and was even willing to go against Grand Empyrean Gu Dao for Wang Lin. Just moments ago, he was refining a treasure for Wang Lin.
But when he arrived, he saw the ground covered in blood. The Ancient Dao he protected had countless deaths, and all of it had been done by his disciple. This made Xuan Luo feel like his heart was stabbed with a knife and filled him with disappointment!
But now, when he saw Wang Lin use the soul blood to revive the people that had died, despite hurting himself, Xuan Luo's heart ached for Wang Lin.
His heart ached for this disciple, and he knew that this disciple still cared about him. Because he knew that if Wang Lin hadn't planned this in advance, there would've been no way to revive people out of nowhere.
"Before he came, he had already accounted for my feelings…" Xuan Luo's gaze softened. He understood his disciple. If not for an important reason, his disciple would not have done this, much less go crazy like this.
The reason was most likely Wang Lin's bottom line!
Xuan Luo let out a sigh and he vaguely guessed part of it.
Wang Lin's face was pale as he said, "My wife's soul is inside Song Zhi's body… Disciple is going to take her away… The Ancient Dao Emperor knows this and won't allow it. Disciple also needs to kill him!"
The expression of the Ancient Dao Emperor changed and he immediately roared, "Absurd. You want to steal my empress? How can I let you take her away? You said your wife's soul is inside her body - simple ridiculous!
"You didn't explain at all when you arrived. Why should I give my empress to you!?" The Ancient Dao Emperor sneered, but his heart trembled.
"So now that I've explained, I'm going to take her away." Wang Lin turned his head and coldly looked at the Ancient Dao Emperor, who was being guarded by nearly 1,000 people.
The Ancient Dao Emperor immediately said, "Ridiculous. Your explanation is without reason. If I really let you take her away, won't the entire world laugh at my incompetence!? Besides, your reason is without logic. I can say that this woman was my wife in my last life. What can you do?!" His voice was sharp and show no signs of backing down.
He was convinced that Wang Lin could never hurt him, nor would dare to kill him. He also saw the respect Wang Lin had toward Xuan Luo. With Xuan Luo here, Wang Lin would be even less likely to attack.
If he didn't take advantage of this, he wouldn't be royalty.
Besides, he was the Ancient Dao Emperor - anyone who dared to kill him would have to ask Grand Empyrean Gu Dao first!
As the Ancient Dao Emperor, he had nothing to fear; how could he let Wang Lin do as he wished? He had thought about it. Once today's matter was over, he was going to spoil Song Zhi and take her virgin body, let her bear his child and let Wang Lin fall into despair!
The Ancient Dao Emperor waved his sleeve and coldy said, "If you want to take away my empress, then give me some evidence!"
Wang Lin silently pondered. The killing intent in his body was almost unable to be suppressed and was about to erupt. He was going to kill the 1,000 people blocking his path and slaughter his way to the palace to kill the Ancient Dao Emperor!
But he could not do this. There was a hint of red on his pale face as he suppressed the crazed killing intent in his body.
He looked at Song Zhi and revealed sadness. He had power comparable to that of a Grand Empyrean, and beside Xuan Luo, no one here was his match. However, right now, before a tiny emperor, he could not take a step forward. He could see Wan Er's soul right there but could not take her away.
All of this was because he didn't want to disappoint Xuan Luo and put him in a dilemma. He didn't want to make the teacher he owed so much to feel sorrow.
Wang Lin closed his eyes and revealed a miserable smile. When he opened his eyes once more, his right hand reached at the void and a jade appeared. After his divine sense gathered on the jade, he crushed it.
The moment he crushed the jade, everything he had seen using the jade from the Great Soul Sect, along with the Ancient Dao Emperor's mutter, was displayed before everyone without anything hidden.
The image was incredibly clear!
"The Imperial Teacher said that this soul fragment can make me the true ancient emperor of the entire Ancient Clan. Then, making this woman my empress will be the best reward for her.
"Although this woman is not an absolute beauty, she has her own charm. I don't know where the imperial teacher got this soul fragment from… She may have her own lover, and perhaps he felt extreme pain after her death...
"Unfortunately, he will never know that this woman is in my hands… If I could see who this woman's lover was and I could see him for myself, it would be very interesting.
"If one day they meet, I wonder if they will recognize each other… This matter is not urgent. After the ceremony, I'll have to get a good taste of the soul fragment after it is fused."
The Ancient Dao Emperor's voice came out of the images from the shattered jade. Although this was the second time Wang Lin had heard this, the killing intent in his heart surged once more. However, he suppressed it once more.
This voice was heard by everyone here. Although the Ancient Dao Emperor remained calm, a huge wave was set off in his heart. He never expected such a strange spell to exist in this world!
The Ancient Dao Emperor sneered and said in a gloomy tone, "Such a realistic illusion, interesting. Wang Lin, you spent some effort to create this, but it's all false. I have never said such a thing. What soul fragment?"
Wang Lin remained silent, but his killing intent surged like crazy. It was about to erupt for the third time, and his eyes became red once more. However, he suppressed it once more, and due to suppressing his anger multiple times, blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
As the Ancient Dao Emperor sneered, Xuan Luo frowned. He raised his right hand and reached toward Song Zhi.
However, there was a flash of purple light around Song Zhi that dissipated Xuan Luo's grab. This caused Xuan Luo's expression to change.
When the old man saw this, he exclaimed, "Purple Print Ancestral Soul Lock!!"
The Ancient Dao Emperor smiled slightly and coldly looked at Xuan Luo. Then he looked at Wang Lin and his laughter became even more unbridled.
"She is my empress, no one can take her away. I have already planted this lock on her body. This is a relic from the Ancient Ancestor. If I die, she dies, and with one thought, she can't move more than 100 feet from me. Without breaking the lock, who can take her away from me?
"I control whether she lives or dies. Wang Lin, do you dare to kill me? If I die, she will also die!
"Wang Lin, why are not not kneeling!?" The Ancient Dao Emperor laughed as he looked at Wang Lin.

"The Purple Print Ancestral Soul Lock… This spell was passed down by Grand Empyrean Gu Dao to the three imperial families, and only the current emperor can use it. They can only use it once in their life, and anyone below Grand Empyrean will no longer have control over their own life!
"Only Grand Empyrean Gu Dao can remove this spell," Xuan Luo said with an extremely gloomy expression.
Wang Lin was silent.
Xuan Luo looked at the Ancient Dao Emperor and calmly said, "Ye Dao, as the guardian of the Ancient Dao, I request that you immediately remove the restriction here and let Wang Lin take this woman away! I'll go ask Grand Empyrean Gu Dao to remove the spell from this woman!"
"Imperial son, it's not worth it for a woman!" The old man also frowned and looked at the Ancient Dao Emperor.
"Since this woman has the soul of Wang Lin's wife, why do you want her around? Just give it back to him. Such a powerful person has decided to stay in my Ancient Dao. If you do this, it will make his heart cold."
"Heart cold? So what if his heart becomes cold? You're old, don't say pointless things! And Lord Xuan… This is a private affair of the imperial family. You are the guardian of the Ancient Dao. Did you forget the agreement with Grand Empyrean Gu Dao? This person has broken into the palace and disrespected the imperial power. I now hope that Lord Xuan will kill this person and fulfil your duty!" the Ancient Dao Emperor said coldly, completely ignoring Xuan Luo's request.
He was behaving like this because he believed no one would dare to kill much, especially Wang Lin.
Xuan Luo smiled angrily and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes. This Ancient Dao Emperor was someone he had appointed, and now he dared to say such words. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Lin spoke.
"If I kneel, will you let me take her away?"
"Didn't you want to kill me before? Were you not arrogant before? Weren't you unwilling to kneel before? Now what you want to kneel? You are a mere ant from a cave world, and I'm the proud son of the heavens. Come and kneel before me, beg, and if I'm happy, I might even gift this woman to you." The Ancient Dao Emperor smiled, but his smile was very dark.
"I, Wang Lin, can continue to guard the Ancient Dao until the end of my life… I can kneel, I can not kill you. Ijust want the soul fragment in the woman's body… Give her… back to me… ok…" Wang Lin murmured. His eyes were filled with endless sadness. This was the accumulation of thousands of years of sadness.
"Give her to you? Then it would depend on my mood. Perhaps after playing with this woman for a few thousand years, and you're obedient during that time, then I might give her to you." The Ancient Dao Emperor laughed.
Wang Lin's body trembled and closed his eyes. The killing intent in his body erupted once more and he almost lost control. As for the so-called restriction he could feel from the soul blood in his body, if he had time, he could break the restriction.
The reason he was still suppressing this killing intent was for Xuan Luo… Because Xuan Luo wouldn't allow the Ancient Dao Emperor to be killed… Xuan Luo was the guardian of the Ancient Dao, and the imperial power was supreme here.
"I can offer other things to trade for the soul fragment of my wife…" Wang Lin opened his eyes and suppressed the killing intent once more. However, his eyes were bloodshot and he had spoken in a hoarse voice.
"Oh? Tell me what are you going to trade." The Ancient Dao Emperor smiled.
Wang Lin looked at Song Zhi, then his right hand reached at the void and a soul appeared. This soul's eyes were closed, but it gave off a golden light. The light was impure and the soul looked like it was in pain.
"Is the celestial clan's Celestial Emperor's soul enough…" Wang Lin's gaze looked at the Ancient Dao Emperor.
The Ancient Dao Emperor's expression changed as he stared at the soul. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Celestial Emperor! This… This is impossible, he… You… You actually have his soul!!" The Ancient Dao Emperor gasped. Not only him, but when Wang Lin took out the soul, the expressions of all the Ancient Dao members changed!
The members of the two other clans in the distance were also the same. Many of them had seen the Celestial Emperor, so they immediately knew that this soul was real when they saw it.
The eyes of the father of the Ancient Dao Emperor widened and his body trembled.
Even Xuan Luo was shocked when he saw this soul.
"Not enough!! How can a mere Celestial Emperor's soul be enough!?" The Ancient Dao Emperor's heart beat rapidly and he looked at Wang Lin with deep fear in his eyes for the first time. He couldn't imagine how Wang Lin had managed to get the Celestial Emperor's soul. It has to be said that the Celestial Emperor was one of the nine Grand Empyreans!
Wang Lin silently pondered. He waved his left hand at the sky and the black and white Grand Empyrean Sun appeared behind him. Something slowly appeared from within the sun. It was a head. It was a giant head that had no eyes or ears!
The moment the head appeared, an extremely dense celestial energy and golden light that looked like the sun spread out.
"If I add this head, is it enough?" Wang Lin's eyes became even more bloodshot and his voice was even more hoarse.
"This is…" The Ancient Dao Emperor was startled as he looked at the head. He felt that the head looked familiar, but he could not remember.
"This… This is the head of the Celestial Ancestor!!! This… This really is the head of the Celestial Ancestor!!" The Ancient Dao Emperor's father's body trembled violently and he flew out of the palace. He stared at the head in the air and revealed excitement he had never shown before.
"What!?! Celestial Ancestor's head!" After the Ancient Dao Emperor recovered, his expression changed greatly.
Xuan Luo gasped as he looked at the head, and his mind went completely blank.
If they were like this, there was no need to talk about the rest of the people here. Once they heard the cry of the Ancient Dao Emperor's father, they all looked at the head. The shock they felt was even more intense than when they saw the soul of the Celestial Emperor.
"Celestial… Celestial Ancestor's head!!!"
"The Celestial Ancestor… is dead!! Then what about the Ancient Ancestor? Is the Ancient Ancestor still alive…"
"This Wang Lin has the head of the Celestial Ancestor!!" This matter set off a wave in the entire palace and would soon set off a wave across the entire Ancient clan. The members of the other two clans stared at the head in disbelief.
Wang Lin looked at the startled Ancient Dao Emperor and said with a hoarse voice, "I'll trade these two things for the soul of my wife. Is that enough?"
"Enough!! Enough!!" The person who answered Wang Lin was the Ancient Dao Emperor's father. He excitedly turned around to look at his son.
"Ye Dao, with these two items, my Ancient Dao will rise. With the Celestial Emperor's soul and the Celestial Ancestor's head, my Ancient Dao will have a chance to unify the entire Ancient clan!! Let the woman go!!" The old man's voice was trembling from excitement.
The Ancient Dao Emperor hesitated.
"Quickly, release the restriction. What are you waiting for!?" the old man anxiously roared.
"Not enough! With a great enemy like him, I can't rest easy. If we kill this person, both items will belong to my Ancient Dao!" A flash of killing intent appeared in the Ancient Dao Emperor's eyes.
"You…" The old man was about to roar, but he suddenly stopped speaking. He turned to look at Wang Lin and his eyes lit up.
"You all have gone too far!" In the sky, Xuan Luo let out a roar that shook everyone present. Some even coughed out blood due to this roar, and their faces were now filled with fear.
Even the Ancient Dao Emperor's face turned pale, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. He looked up at Xuan Luo with a ferocious expression.
"Xuan Luo, you dare to hurt me? Are you not afraid of the anger of Grand Empyrean Gu Dao?!"
"Ye Dao, scatter the restriction. You can take the Celestial Ancestor's head and the Celestial Emperor's soul. This old man will act like nothing has happened. But if you don't, then this old man will fight against Grand Empyrean Gu Dao to kill you today!" Xuan Luo's heart ached. He looked at Wang Lin's almost pleading expression and pale face. His heart could not bear it.
He understood that Wang Lin was only doing all of this for him. His disciple didn't want to make it difficult for him and didn't want to disappoint him, so Wang Lin continued to endure it all.
With this kind of disciple, Xuan Luo could be proud. If his disciple could do this, then although he had lived for countless years, he could also personally kill this emperor for his disciple. He would become the first Grand Empyrean to kill an ancient emperor!
Xuan Luo knew how serious the consequences were, but now, watching his disciple endure it all, he had decided to go all out!
"You would dare to kill me? Xuan Luo, you are the Grand Empyrean of the Ancient Dao. If you were to kill me, not only would you be killed by Grand Empyrean Gu Dao, but you would be going against the Ancient Dao that you have protected for countless years. You would offend the entire Ancient Dao. Do you dare to kill me!? You would be the sinner of the Ancient Dao; even if you died, you would be hated by the entire Ancient Dao!!" the Ancient Dao Emperor roared, his expression ferocious.
Xuan Luo's body trembled. He closed his eyes to hide the sadness and confusion in them.
"I have guarded the Ancient Dao until today and have done nothing I regret… I only have this one disciple… I brought him here from the cave world. He had a supreme position in the celestial clan, but he still came to find me… I only have one disciple!!" Xuan Luo opened his eyes and revealed a desperate determination.
When Xuan Luo made the decision, Wang Lin softly said, "Teacher…" He looked at Xuan Luo and revealed a smile. This was the first time he had smiled since he had found Wan Er's soul fragment.
However, when Xuan Luo saw this smile, his heart felt even more pain. What kind of smile was this? It was clearly a silent cry.
"Teacher, you have protected the Ancient Dao your entire life… Disciple is not worthy of your decision…" Wang Lin looked at Xuan Luo and knelt down. He kowtowed once at Xuan Luo.
Throughout his life, he had said that he would not bow before the heavens or the earth. He would only respect his parents and kneel to Situ… Now there was one more person he would kneel to.
"You…" Xuan Luo's eyes were filled with sadness.

Wang Lin softly said, "Teacher… if we did everything again, Disciple would still choose to follow Teacher to the Immortal Astral Continent without any hesitation…"
The sorrow in Xuan Luo's eyes became even stronger. He understood Wang Lin.
"Teacher's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and Disciple would never forget it…" Wang Lin sighed and stood up. He patted his clothes. As he swept away the dust, it was as if he had swept away his feelings and his previous tolerance.
In order to not disappoint his teacher, he could kneel, give out treasures, endure not killing the Ancient Dao Emperor - he could do anything. He just wanted to take Wan Er's soul and not make his teacher suffer too much sorrow. He wanted to find a balance because he didn't want the people who had been kind to him to feel pain. He didn't want to hurt his teacher.
However, this thought was only a luxury, an unrealistic dream.
He had endured again and again, but now he could not endure anymore. Since this was the case, there was no longer any need to endure!!!
Before the gazes of everyone present, Wang Lin laughed loudly at the sky until tears flowed down. The tears were bitter and contained his thousands of years of determination and unyielding nature, they contained Wang Lin dedication to his own conscience and those who had shown him kindness.
His laughter became louder and louder as if he had gone crazy.
When this laugh entered Xuan Luo's ears, it was as if a giant pair of hands had grabbed his head and pulled it out. At this moment, he felt as if something was missing from his body. This caused him to become pale as he looked at Wang Lin, and his eyes looked even older.
"I, Wang Lin, since I began cultivating in my childhood, have gone through countless slaughter and experienced the coldness of the world. Most people I met were devious and sinister… Am I destined to be a lone star? My wife died, my son is trapped in reincarnation, Situ's whereabouts are unknown, Qing Shui is also lost. Everyone who has shown me kindness suffered in the end...
"I care a lot about the kindness others have shown me, because that is rare and should be cherished.
"I care a lot about love because love allows me to persist…" Tears flowed down from Wang Lin's eyes as he laughed and talked to himself.
Wang Lin's laughter also entered the Ancient Dao Emperor's ears. This laughter was extremely harsh for him to hear and his heart trembled. Without hesitation, he pointed at Wang Lin and roared, "Kill him!!"
In the Ancient clan, where the imperial power reigned supreme, and at the palace of the Ancient Dao, the emperor's command should be carried out immediately. But right now, aside from the 1,000 people near the palace, the other tens of thousands of people around, including the people Wang Lin had revived, all remained silent.
They had witnessed everything that had happened, saw the cause and effect, saw Xuan Luo's sorrow, and they saw Wang Lin's plea. After seeing all this, they could not lift their feet to take that step...
This was the choice between the imperial power and their conscience, and a majority of the people hesitated. However, there were still thousands of people who had been indoctrinated by the imperial power and let out a roar as they charged at Wang Lin.
"Teacher!!" Wang Lin suddenly turned around and completely ignored everyone charging at him. He looked at Xuan Luo with a decisive gaze.
"Please let Disciple call you 'Teacher'… one last time! Disciple can't repay the kindness you have shown me. The only way for me to repay you is to die once and then I, Wang Lin, will no longer have any connection with the Ancient Dao!!
"From now on, everything that I, Wang Lin, do will not have any relation… with Teacher!! Everything I do, I'll take responsibility for!!" Wang Lin suddenly raised his right hand as the thousands of people closed in and Xuan Luo was about to wave his sleeve.
Wang Lin looked at Xuan Luo and his right hand mercilessly smash downed on his own head. This blow contained his love for Xuan Luo, this blow contained the eruption of Wang Lin uncontainable rage!
Time seemed to slow down. Wang Lin's right hand smashed into his head and his skull cracked. The destructive aura destroyed his head, his body, his everything.
During this destruction, Wang Lin seemed to see the moment Xuan Luo first appeared in the cave world. He seemed to return to his hometown and saw the past.
Everything instantly stopped at the moment Wang Lin charged out of the Ancient Dao Temple in rage.
Everyone looked in disbelief as Wang Lin's body exploded into flesh and blood. He had self-destructed right before Xuan Luo arrived.
Xuan Luo looked at the figure that had turned into a mess of flesh and blood and shed tears of blood.
"Dead??" The Ancient Dao Emperor was startled and there was a flash of gloominess in his face. The other Ancient Dao members that were going to charge up also stopped and looked over with suspicion.
Just at this instant, a strange scene unfolded. The explosion of flesh and blood from when Wang Lin's body exploded quickly gathered. In the blink of an eye, a new Wang Lin was formed!
He coughed out a mouthful of blood and his face was extremely pale. Today, he had used his extremely precious Three Life spell once!!
He had already died once!!!
After resurrecting, he was no longer Xuan Luo's disciple, and he no longer had any connection with the Ancient Dao. He no longer had to consider anyone's position and no longer had to suppress himself again and again. He was doing to do what he wanted and take away Wan Er, who belonged to him!!
"Ye Dao!!" Wang Lin let out a heaven-shattering roar at the sky. This roar was the eruption of all the anger he had suppressed. This was a roar from the depths of his soul!
At this moment, monstrous killing intent erupted from Wang Lin's body without any reservation. This killing intent caused the world to change as if he had just walked out from the underworld. He rushed forward with ferocity, madness, and killing intent.
The expression of the Ancient Dao Emperor changed and he retreated a few steps before he roared, "Kill him!!" The nearly 1,000 people before the palace and the thousands of people that had charged out all charged at Wang Lin. Even if it was merely using their bodies as shields, they had to defend the imperial power. It was unknown if this was their glory or sorrow.
"Anyone who blocks me again will really die this time!!" Wang Lin's eyes were bloodshot as he stepped forward and threw a punch. The dozens of people before him all let out miserable screams as they exploded, but the Ancient Dao members behind them all rushed ahead.
Wang Lin stepped on the blood beneath him as he walked forward. He wasn't fast, but every step covered hundreds of feet. Rivers of blood flowed as he slaughtered his way forward.
Howls echoed as the 36 Fiends turned into 36 rays of light and charged at Wang Lin like 36 dragons. However, Wang Lin didn't even look at them as they closed in. He raised his right hand and green smoke appeared at the tip of his finger and spread out.
It was the Extreme Fire Dao!
The smoke instantly touched the 36 dragons, then thunderous rumbles and miserable screams echoed. The 36 dragons turned into balls of fire and were burned alive.
Wang Lin's left hand reached to the side. One of the 18 Kings had stepped out to sneak attack him, but the first thing he saw was Wang Lin's palm. His expression changed greatly and he wanted to retreat, but the hand grabbed his face. Wang Lin squeezed and the king's vision went black, feeling intense pain, then his head exploded.
Xuan Luo stood there and watched Wang Lin slaughter his way to the palace, but he didn't stop him. He was already disappointed at the Ancient Dao's imperial power...
He looked at Wang Lin's mad back and recalled his disciple's self-destruction. As he watched, tears flowed down from Xuan Luo's eyes.
He knew that the reason Wang Lin had self-destructed once was because he was going to slaughter without reservation. He knew that Wang Lin didn't want to affect him and had to cut their teacher-student relationship. The way to cut off that relationship was to… die once!
Using this method, his disciple was telling the entire Ancient Dao, the entire Ancient clan, and even Grand Empyrean Gu Dao that he would take responsibility for everything here today!
Wang Lin didn't want Xuan Luo to become a sinner of the Ancient Dao, to become the first Grand Empyrean to kill an ancient emperor...
Even now, his disciple was still thinking about him. Such a disciple made Xuan Luo feel a deep sense of guilt.
"What have I done for him… In fact, not much…" Xuan Luo looked at the slaughter and at the deaths of his Ancient Dao clan members. For the first time, he didn't feel sadness for his clan.
Wang Lin let out a roar and the slaughter aura around him spread out. It turned into a ray of red light that shot out and opened a bloody path before him. At the same time, he pointed at the sky.
The entire palace turned into a dark sea, and at the end of the sea, a sun began to rise. Wang Lin was using his faith spell, Sundered Night, at the palace without hesitation.
The sun rose and endless light shined. A mutter echoed as miserable screams echoed and bodies exploded into blood mist. It was unknown how many people had died.
After the illusion of the sea dissipated, most of the 1,000 cultivators before the palace had died. The rest were swept away, and Wang Lin stood before the palace. He walked into the palace with crazed killing intent coming from his body, and he covered the sky behind him as he entered the palace.

Outside the temple, the blood path leading to the palace was covered in the remains of nearly 1,000 people. The people looked at the palace with fear.
When Wang Lin stepped into the palace, the Ancient Dao Emperor's face turned pale. He subconsciously retreated a few steps and stared at Wang Lin.
"Wang Lin, if I die this, woman will die! Do you dare to kill me!? I have the protection of Grand Empyrean Gu Dao, no one in this world can kill the ancient emperors!!"
Wang Lin ignored the Ancient Dao Emperor and also ignored the equally gloomy father of the Emperor. He only looked at Song Zhi. Looking at this woman that gave him a familiar feeling that made his madness soften. He walked toward the aura he had been chasing for thousands of years.
But just at this moment, shadows appeared before Wang Lin. They were like smoke and they charged at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin seemed to turn a blind eye to them. In his eyes, only Song Zhi existed. As he walked forward, popping sounds echoed and the figures inside those shadows were forced out of hiding. The figures coughed out blood and cracks spread across their bodies before they disintegrated.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of those figures appeared before Wang Lin, but none of them could survive. Wang Lin stood before the confused Song Zhi.
The woman looked up at Wang Lin and opened her mouth to say something, but she forgot her words. She looked at Wang Lin's unfamiliar face with a hint of familiarity. Her eyes began to struggle as her memories tried to awaken.
"Who is he… Who is she… Who am I… If I am her, then who is Aunt Chang and Sister Dong…" The woman looked like she was in pain as she held her head and trembled.
Wang Lin's heart ached as his right hand raised and pointed behind him. A miserable scream suddenly echoed. A shadow wanted to take advantage of this moment to attack, but before the shadow even revealed itself, Wang Lin's finger pierced the shadow's skull and he died.
Wang Lin looked at the woman before him and softly said, "Don't be afraid… I don't know who Aunt Chang and Sister Dong are, but I know you are Li Muwan. You are my wife that I have searched thousands of years for!!"
When the woman heard "Li Muwan," she felt a painful whisper and it felt as if a mirror had shattered in her mind. This name had a strange power, and she felt a sense of familiarity in her soul, as if this was her real name!
"Li Muwan… Li Muwan… Song Zhi… I… Who am I exactly…." Due to the intense pain from her head, tears started flowing down her cheeks.
The Ancient Dao Emperor revealed a vicious gaze, and just as he was about to move, he heard Wang Lin's cold snort.
This cold snort was like a bolt of thunder that caused the Ancient Dao Emperor to let out a miserable cry. Blood flowed out from his orifices and he retreated a few steps. Wang Lin quickly raised his right hand and pointed to between the woman's eyebrows. Then a trace of the drop of soul blood inside Wang Lin went into the woman through Wang Lin's finger. The moment the trace of soul blood entered her, she began to tremble.
A fine line that didn't seem to belong to this world appeared on her forehead. It was connected to the Ancient Dao Emperor behind her.
Without hesitation, Wang Lin raised his left hand and slashed at the fine line.
With this slash, the line was cut in half.
The moment this line was cut, the Ancient Dao Emperor coughed out a mouthful of blood. He looked miserable and his eyes were filled with horror and disbelief.
"Impossible!! This Purple Print Ancestral Soul Lock can't be cut like this. This is the secret spell of the imperial families, only Grand Empyrean Gu Dao can lift it..." The Ancient Dao Emperor squealed but didn't dare to get close to Wang Lin and continued to retreat.
Wang Lin paid no attention to the Ancient Dao Emperor, he only looked at the woman in pain. He gently stroked her hair.
"Don't be afraid… I'll take you to kill…" Wang Lin softly said what he had said thousands of years ago.
When the woman heard this, her trembling suddenly stopped and the struggle in her eyes became several times more violent than before. It was even more intense then when she heard "Li Muwan."
It was as if this line was more important than her own name. It was as if this was the beginning of her thousands of years of love...
A thunderous rumble echoed in her mind. This line continued to echo in her mind and swirl in her vague memory.
She once had a dream and heard that line. That voice had continued to exist in her mind and she had tried to find that voice, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember it or find it.
Until she heard Wang Lin mutter "Wan Er" at the banquet, which made her heart tremble and feel a strong sense of familiarity, but she still can't remember. Even when "Li Muwan" was said, she only trembled but couldn't remember. However, after hearing "I'll take you to kill," these words suddenly overlapped with the words from her dream!
She faintly remembered, remembered that the voice from the dream came from the person before her. She remembered the Sea of Devils, where she stood before the cave with a pale face but firmly guarded the cave.
She remembered that there was a person sitting behind her refining the power of the pills, about to form his core!!
She also remembered that when she was exhausted and could no longer stop the devil cultivators from breaking into the cave, as their laughter echoed, she fell into a warm chest. Then she heard a cold voice, but it also made her feel a strange sense of warmth for the first time.
"Don't be afraid… I'll take you to kill!"
Her body trembled and tears flowed down from her eyes. A majority of the confusion in her eyes disappeared. She looked at Wang Lin, at the face that became more and more familiar.
"Wang… Lin…" The woman's voice was hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken in a long time. However, what she said caused Wang Lin's mind to rumble as if millions of bolts of thunder had exploded.
Wang Lin became excited and laughed at the sky as he hugged the woman. He turned to look at the Ancient Dao Emperor and his father, who were panicking. However, unlike his father, the Ancient Dao Emperor still had a hint of calmness.
When Wang Lin looked over, the Ancient Dao Emperor clearly saw Wang Lin's killing intent and his heart dropped.
"I'm the Ancient Dao Emperor, I have the protection of Grand Empyrean Gu Dao, you can't kill me!!" The Ancient Dao Emperor retreated again. Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He wanted to kill this person, and his hatred was bone deep. He hugged Li Muwan as he charged at the Ancient Dao Emperor.
Wang Lin instantly closed in, and his eyes were filled with monstrous killing intent. He raised his right hand and smashed down on the Ancient Dao Emperor!
"Grand Empyrean Gu Dao, save me!!" The Ancient Dao Emperor screamed.
But just as Wang Lin's palm fell, a thunderous rumble echoed. A flash of purple light appeared around the Ancient Dao Emperor and knocked Wang Lin's palm away.
When the Ancient Dao Emperor saw the purple light, he immediately began to laugh. The panic in his eyes disappeared and turned into calmness. He stared at Wang Lin ferociously.
"I'm the Ancient Dao Emperor, I'm the descendant of the Ancient Ancestor. How can you kill me? In this world, no one can kill me!" The Ancient Dao Emperor waved his sleeve and roared at the people outside the palace.
"All Ancient Dao members, kill this person. Anyone who defies this order will be considered a traitor!" As his words echoed, the tens of thousands of Ancient Dao members around the square and even the thousands of Ancient Dao members that had arrived all heard it. They looked toward the palace and rushed over like a large, black cloud.
There was a flash of killing intent in Wang Lin's eyes and he raised his hand again to smash down at the Ancient Dao Emperor. The purple light flashed again and resisted Wang Lin's attack.
As a result, the Ancient Dao Emperor laughed even more arrogantly. He didn't even dodge and fiercely looked at Wang Lin.
"What right do you have to kill me? Wang Lin, you are only an ant of the cave world. Now that 100,000 of my Ancient Dao clan members are coming, I want to see how you will leave!! You are going to die, and once you die, I'll play with this woman and let her accompany you in death!!" The Ancient Dao Emperor laughed.
"I can't kill you…" Wang Lin's hair moved without any wind and his Grand Empyrean Sun appeared behind him. It gave off black and white light at the same time, and the soul blood inside him moved rapidly. At this moment, the Wind Song appeared from Wang Lin's body!
Thunderous rumbles echoed. It was the Thunder Song!
The clouds also churned with the wind and thunder, creating the Wind Flute!
The rain also fell, creating the Rain Song! Then the Sky and Earth Songs also appeared and then, from Wang Lin's body, the seventh song appeared.
The eighth song was the song of the internal organs, and it could not be described by words as it echoed through the Ancient Dao palace!
"In this world, there is another person beside Grand Empyrean Gu Dao who can kill you… That's the Ancient Ancestor!" Wang Lin slowly said, and as his words came out, his soul blood released the ninth song!!
The last song was the Bloodline Song, and when this song appeared, Wang Lin's eyes became silver. This silver revealed a sense of a supreme being!
Behind Wang Lin, above the palace, a giant shadow appeared. This shadow had his hand behind his back and was looking at the sky in contempt. Its appearance was exactly the same as the Ancient Ancestor statue in the city!!
"Ancient… Ancient Ancestor!!" Everyone in the square, in the palace, and all the Ancient clan members in the city were shaken when they saw this shadow. They were filled with excitement and fear as buzzing echoed.
"We descendents greet the Ancient Ancestor!" It was unknown who knelt first, but in a flash, the more than 100,000 people in the square and palace knelt down.

The nine songs appeared at once. This was something that only took place in legends and rumors, but at this moment, the nine songs echoed in the Ancient Dao palace!
The hundreds of thousands of Ancient clan members were filled with excitement and knelt down at the Ancient Ancestor shadow.
The Ancient Dao Emperor's father, who had lost an arm, was shocked and also knelt down without any hesitation. His body trembled, but there was no excitement in his heart. Instead, there was endless horror and fear.
"The Ancient Ancestor's shadow was summoned by this person… He is able to play the nine songs. This… this… Not even in my royal family has anyone been able to do this. Could this person… Could his bloodline be even more pure than my royal family's?!"
Xuan Luo stood there and looked at the Ancient Ancestor shadow with respect in his eyes. He didn't kneel but clasped his hands and bowed at the shadow.
The Ancient Dao Emperor was dumbfounded and his eyes revealed disbelief. He seemed to have gone crazy and retreated until he was outside the palace. He looked up and saw the figure looking at the sky with its hands behind its back.
When he saw the figure, the Ancient Dao Emperor trembled and his heart shook violently.
"Impossible!!" he shrieked, then he continued to retreat until he was on the square.
"I'm the son of the heavens, I'm the Ancient Dao Emperor, I'm the descendent of the Ancient Ancestor!!" The Ancient Dao Emperor's face was pale and his mind was filled with madness. He could not accept this reality, and he could not endure this kind of blow. He pointed at the shadow and let out a hysterical howl.
Everyone at the square, aside from Xuan Luo, was on their knees. Even the members of the other two clans were kneeling as well. Only the Ancient Dao Emperor was standing there, pointing at the Ancient Ancestor shadow like a madman, and he howled,
"Impossible, this is impossible, its fake!!! This is an illusion he created, this can't be real. I'm your real descendant, I have the bloodline that is supposed to make you appear. I'm the Ancient Dao Emperor!!
"All of you, stand up. Are you all blind? This is fake. Get up!!" The Ancient Dao Emperor continued to roar like crazy at the people around him. Their kneeling and worship seemed to bring him great fear and pressure, as if they were forcing him to accept that it was all real.
But no matter how he roared, no one paid attention to him. They were all shocked by the Ancient Ancestor shadow, and none of them dared to get up.
For the Ancient clan, where the imperial power reigned supreme, the reason they felt such reverence for the imperial power was because of the creator of the imperial power. The Ancient Ancestor had created the three clans and was someone the Ancient clan was completely devoted to from the bottom of their hearts!!
In their minds, the Ancient Ancestor was a supreme existence!
"Kings, Immortal Generals, get up for this emperor. Can you all not see that this is fake? This is fake, this is fake, this is fake!!!" The Ancient Dao Emperor trembled as he rushed like crazy to one of the 18 Kings and kicked him.
The entire square was dead silent and only the Ancient Dao Emperor was making noise, but no one looked at him.
"Fake… It's all fake…" The Ancient Dao Emperor's eyes were completely occupied by fear. His body trembled as he looked at the shadow in the sky, and he was still in hysteria. At this moment, Wang Lin, who was hugging Song Zhi, walked out of the palace.
He stood at the door of the palace and looked outside. He saw everyone kneeling, then he flew into the sky with Song Zhi in hand.
The moment he appeared, the giant Ancient Ancestor shadow seemed to overlap with him and gave off an indescribable pressure. This pressure caused the earth to tremble and the sky to change colors. All of the people kneeling below began to tremble.
Wang Lin lowered his head. His silver eyes revealed ruthlessness and indifference as he looked at the Ancient Dao Emperor, who was still roaring. At the same time, the Ancient Ancestor shadow also lowered its head and looked at the Ancient Dao Emperor with the same silver eyes.
The Ancient Dao Emperor's roaring suddenly stopped when the shadow looked at him. He retreated while his teeth chattered, then he suddenly began to roar again.
"I'm your descendant. I didn't betray the Ancient clan. You can't kill me!"
Wang Lin remained silent and raised his right hand. When he raised his right hand, the Ancient Ancestor shadow also raised its giant right hand. As Wang Lin pointed at the Ancient Dao Emperor, the giant hand in the sky also pointed at the Ancient Dao Emperor.
"Ye Mo… I will borrow the Ancient Ancestor's hand to grant you death!!" This was the first time Wang Lin had spoken since the Ancient Ancestor had appeared. After he spoke, a flash of silver light flew from the Ancient Ancestor's right hand and headed directly toward the Ancient Dao Emperor.
The Ancient Dao Emperor's face turned ashen and he let out a cry for his life. "NO!!
"Grand Empyrean Gu Dao, save me!!! Father, save me!! Ancestor, save me!! Imperial Teacher, save me!!!" the Ancient Dao Emperor roared in fear.
As he cried for his ancestor, deep underground below the palace, there was a purple coffin in a secret chamber covered in runes.
There was an old woman lying inside the coffin. She looked like a skeleton but also wore a royal robe. Her eyes suddenly opened, revealing fear and hesitation, but she didn't come out.
On the surface, as the silver light closed in, purple light appeared around the Ancient Dao Emperor. However, the moment the silver light touched the purple light, the purple light immediately collapsed and the silver light pierced between the eyebrows of the Ancient Dao Emperor.
The Ancient Dao Emperor's head exploded into a bloody mess and his body began to shatter. His entire body collapsed into countless pieces, and those pieces continued to collapse until nothing remained.
Even his soul was turned to nothing by this silver light and was completely erased. An ancient emperor had been killed inside his palace and before the eyes of his people!
The old man kneeling inside the palace trembled when the Ancient Dao Emperor called for him. He struggled, but he didn't dare to try to save the Ancient Dao Emperor. He also had no method of saving the Ancient Dao Emperor from the shadow of the Ancient Ancestor.
After doing this, Wang Lin's face turned slightly pale and the Ancient Ancestor shadow gradually dissipated. Before it completely disappeared, Wang Lin suddenly looked at the horizon, toward a deserted mountain outside the imperial city.
The person responsible for taking Wan Er's soul was not the Ancient Dao Emperor, but the figure covered in seven-colored light that Wang Lin had seen using the jade from the Great Soul Sect. The mysterious Ancient Dao's Imperial Teacher!!
It was the Imperial Teacher who had taken Li Muwan's soul fragment and given it to the Ancient Dao Emperor. It was also him who had told the Emperor to find someone who could fuse with the soul.
The Imperial Teacher was behind all of this. The Ancient Dao Emperor had merely been tricked to become part of this Imperial Teacher's plan.
Wang Lin had already noticed this when he saw the things inside the jade, but he had suppressed it because at that time, he was already filled with rage!
Now that the Ancient Dao Emperor was dead, Wang Lin was going to see the mastermind behind it all. Whether it was as he had speculated - if it was… that person!
Wang Lin could not find the mysterious Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher with his divine sense. However, when he summoned the Ancient Ancestor's shadow and killed the Ancient Dao Emperor, the death aura from the Ancient Dao Emperor was absorbed by the earth and then headed toward the deserted mountain in the distance.
When the Ancient Ancestor's shadow was active, he also felt that there was a giant formation inside that hollow mountain. He could vaguely see a figure at the center of the formation!
He didn't need to guess and was certain that this person was the cause of all of this, the mysterious Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher!
Seeing that the Ancient Ancestor shadow was about to disappear, there was a flash of silver light in Wang Lin's eyes and he raised his right hand to point at the deserted mountain!
As he pointed, the extremely powerful Ancient Ancestor spell he had seen inside the jade Prince Ji Du had given him appeared in his mind!
The Ancient Ancestor shadow also raised its right hand and pointed forward before disappearing. However, the spell was completed!
Outside the imperial city that was floating in the sky, the space around the deserted mountain seemed to be separated from the world and then was suddenly squeezed.
Thunderous rumbles echoed as a ten-colored light appeared around the mountain and began resisting Wang Lin's attack.
Even the palace could vaguely hear the noise. As the mountain rumbled, a huge crack appeared on it and then it was split in half, revealing the giant formation inside!
But the power of the Ancient Ancestor's finger was dissipated by the ten-colored light, and they both dissipated.
Wang Lin's pupils shrank. He waved his sleeve and flew into the sky with Song Zhi. As for the Celestial Emperor's soul and Celestial Ancestor's head, he had long put them away.
However, just as he was about to leave, a roar came from below the palace.
"The sin of killing the emperor is unforgivable. You must leave behind the Celestial Emperor's soul and the Celestial Ancestor's head!"

This voice was hoarse and was filled with strong hatred. As the voice came from under the square, the ground began to rumble and cracks appeared. The cracks widened and caused the square to split open.
As the cracks increased, the center of the square collapsed. The Ancient Dao members on the square rapidly retreated and some even flew into the air.
A ray of purple light came out of the hole in the square and shot into the sky. From a distance, it looked like a giant pillar that could support the heavens and earth.
The moment the purple light appeared, the entire palace was shrouded in purple. This purple light was composed of countless formations, as if the grand formation had been activated.
A purple coffin slowly flew out from the collapsed ground. The coffin was filled with death aura but also gave off an extremely powerful ancient aura that attracted everyone's gazes. The coffin stood erect and the lid of the coffin shattered, revealing the skeleton-like body inside.
This was an old person. One could vaguely see that it was an old woman. It looked like she had climbed out from the underworld. She had a few scattered strands of hair remaining, wore a faded royal robe, and her body was completely black.
There were three daggers stabbed into her body. One was between her eyebrows, one on her chest, and one on her dantian.
"Greetings, Holy Emperor Ancestor!" The moment she appeared, all the Ancient Dao members knelt down again. Their voices connected together into a wave that echoed in the world.
The Ancient Dao members were actually showing the same amount of respect as they did to the Ancient Ancestor. Seeing the excitement in their eyes, it showed that this old woman had an extraordinary identity!
Among the previous generations of Ancient Dao Emperors, only one person could be called the Holy Emperor!
When Xuan Luo saw the old woman, he recalled the past. He let out a sigh and his expression was complicated.
"Ye Wei…"
Wang Lin was still standing in the sky, and his expression was calm. He was not surprised that the old woman had appeared. In fact, when the Ancient Ancestor shadow appeared, he sensed this half-alive and half-dead aura.
Even if he hadn't noticed this aura, Wang Lin would not be surprised, because at the banquet, there were four tables closest to the palace.
Those four tables had obviously been prepared for the Grand Empyrean, Imperial Teacher, and the emperor's father, the previous emperor. However, that was only three people, and there were four tables prepared. That meant that this person had a very high status, and even though this person would not come, a table had to be prepared.
As for who this person was, Wang Lin didn't know, but after seeing this old woman and hearing Xuan Luo say "Ye Wei," he remembered. When he first came to the Ancient Dao, he had learned about the history of past generations of Ancient Dao emperors.
In the Ancient Dao's tens of thousands of years of history, there was a woman. This was the only woman who had become the Ancient Dao emperor!
Her succession caused an uproar across the entire Ancient Dao. After enduring the scrutiny from the Ancient Dao members, Grand Empyrean Gu Dao sent out a decree recognizing her. This calmed everything down.
This woman was also part of the imperial family. At that time, the Ancient Dao had almost reached its peak and become the strongest of the three clans under her leadership. However, after she stepped down, the Ancient Dao ended up as the weakest among the three clans tens of thousands of years later.
Due to this woman's contribution to the Ancient Dao and leading the Ancient Dao to surpassing the Ancient Shi and Ancient Ji, she was referred to as the Holy Emperor by future emperors.
She was also referred to as the Holy Emperor Ancestor by the Ancient Dao people!
Her name was Ye Wei… When Wang Lin heard this name, he recalled everything he knew about her.
And Wang Lin had also learned from the records that it was during her era that his teacher, Xuan Luo, had become a Grand Empyrean.
All of this instantly flashed through Wang Lin's mind. He looked at the skeleton-like old woman who had walked out from the coffin and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
When Song Zhi saw the old woman, she seemed terrified. Wang Lin exerted a bit more force and held her even tighter.
The old woman looked at Wang Lin and said in a hoarse voice, "Leave behind the Celestial Ancestor's head and Celestial Emperor's soul and I will declare you not guilty! Otherwise, even if you can borrow the power of the Ancestor Ancestor and summon his shadow, do you really think the Ancient Dao palace is a place you can come and go as you wish!?" The death aura coming from her body seemed to become even stronger.
The old woman looked at Wang Lin and said in a gloomy voice, "My cultivation is not as powerful as yours, but this is the Ancient Dao palace, which contains the Ten Thousand Grand Formation. This formation was set by the Ancient Ancestor, and each generation of emperor can only activate 20% to 30% of its power. However, my body has fused with the formation, so as long as I'm in the palace, I can't die. I can activate up to 70% of the formation's power!"
Wang Lin's expression was calm, but the coldness in his eyes became even stronger.
"If you want my things, you can try taking them!" Wang Lin slowly said, then his Grand Empyrean sun suddenly appeared. The black and white color shined and Wang Lin's hair moved without any wind. An Ancient Dao shadow that looked exactly like him appeared under his Grand Empyrean sun.
The Ancient Dao shadow seemed to carry the Grand Empyrean sun, and it coldly looked at the old woman.
Wang Lin could only burn the soul blood inside his body to summon the Ancient Ancestor's shadow once. He had just used it, so his soul blood was scattered throughout his body. It would take some time to gather it to burn once more.
The old woman's dim eyes lit up and she raised her bone-like arm. Just as she was about to squeeze, a sigh came from Xuan Luo.
This sigh entered the old woman's ears and her hands trembled.
"Ye Wei… He is my disciple." Xuan Luo looked at the old woman with a complicated expression, but there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. It was as if the old woman before him was not ugly at all and was still the beautiful and brilliant woman of the past.
The old woman silently pondered for a moment and then looked at Xuan Luo. Her dim eyes contained a complicated expression as she said in a hoarse voice, "He was once your disciple."
"I know you liked Ye Dao. When he was a child, he inadvertently went to your closed door cultivation location, and you thought there was fate between you and that child...
"I clearly didn't consider that child good. His personality was too arrogant and he could not tolerate others. I originally didn't want to pick him as emperor, but he had your aura, so I chose him.
"Today, he forced my only disciple to cut his relationship with me, and now he can no longer stay in the Ancient Dao. Do you think Ye Dao did the right thing?
"As the emperor, should he have done this!? Do you really think this formation can trap Wang Lin?!" At the end, Xuan Luo began to roar. His eyes were filled with sadness, and when he looked at Wang Lin, the pain became even more heart-wrenching.
He could never forget that smile that was really a cry. Then the kowtow after the smile, followed by the palm Wang Lin had used to take his own life to cut their relationship.
He understood that his position as Wang Lin's teacher disappeared when Wang Lin's body collapsed.
The old woman silently pondered. A moment later, she said in a hoarse voice,
"The child Ye Dao indeed deserved death, but as the emperor, he can't die for nothing. Today, if Wang Lin doesn't leave behind the Celestial Ancestor's head and the Celestial Emperor's soul, then I'll start a war! Besides, I don't believe this formation can't trap him!"
The moment she finished speaking, Wang Lin began to laugh and the coldness in his eyes became even stranger. He raised his right hand and the Celestial Ancestor's Eight Extreme Dao began to spread.
The green smoke was the Extreme Fire Dao!
The blue ripples were the Extreme Water Dao!
The golden light was the Extreme Metal Dao!
Wang Lin had learned six of the Celestial Ancestor's Eight Extreme Dao at the Empyrean Trials. As he waved his sleeve, the six Extreme Daos appeared one by one.
Aside from water, fire, and metal, there were also wood and earth. After the five elements were complete, the sixth was the Extreme Life and Death Dao!
As for the seventh Extreme Wealth Dao and the final Extreme Sky Dao, although Wang Lin hadn't obtained them, he could sense them. Given enough time, it would not be impossible for him to master them too.
The moment the Celestial Ancestor's spell appeared, Wang Lin raised his right index finger. Silver light appeared and the Ancient Ancestor's finger spell took shape.
Wang Lin's action caused the old woman's pupils to shrink. She thought that by attacking with the power of the formation, even Grand Empyreans would only have a 30% chance of survival.
This Wang Lin could likely die to the formation.
However, the old woman hesitated now. She stared at the six Extreme Daos around Wang Lin and clearly felt the destructive power within them.
There was also the Ancient Ancestor's finger. She hadn't come out earlier, but she had felt the power of the Ancient Ancestor's finger. She had thought that it was created by the jade, but now she found out that Wang Lin himself could use it.
As she hesitated, Wang Lin sneered and his hair gradually changed from half black and half white to completely black. A shocking amount of killing intent spread out from his body.
The old woman's expression changed once more.
"Ye Wei! I promised to protect you your entire life… Guard the Ancient Dao for a lifetime… I'm tired… Let him go. You are not his match and this formation cannot stop him. I'm saving you…" Xuan Luo's face became a lot older, but when he looked at the old woman, there was still a tenderness that hadn't changed for countless years.
The old woman silently pondered for a long time before she waved her hand and the purple light around the palace dissipated.
Wang Lin looked at Xuan Luo and let out a sigh. When the formation dissipated, he hugged Song Zhi, who had fused with Li Muwan's soul, and flew into the sky. As he flew up, he suddenly saw a burly man among the Ancient Dao members below looking up at him with a smile.
His gaze met with the burly man's, and Wang Lin suddenly stopped.
"It's you…"

Wang Lin stopping in the sky attracted the attention of the Ancient Dao members, and Ye Wei also looked over.
This was an ordinary burly man, and he was not eye-catching among the crowd. His cultivation level was only 8-star ancient god, and he hadn't become a lord yet.
There was a large amount of people like him in the Ancient Dao. Normally, no one would pay attention to him. If not for the fact that the countless transfer arrays had brought him here, he would've never appeared here.
The burly man was very calm when he was being watched by so many people. He looked at Wang Lin and felt emotional.
In his body, there was a little trace of the Ancient Dao imperial family. This came from Ye Mo. Ye Mo was a member of the royal family, and the descendants he had created in the cave world all contained a trace of royal bloodline.
"Luo Chen…" Wang Lin looked at the burly man and recalled the past.
This burly man was Luo Chen. It was an old friend who had fused with the Moongazer and gifted Wang Lin the ancient god stars for his adulthood ceremony. The memories of the cave world appeared in Wang Lin's mind.
Wang Lin let out a sigh and hugged Song Zhi as he descended down toward Luo Chen. The Ancient Dao members all subconsciously retreated, creating a gap.
Wang Lin stood before Luo Chen and looked at this familiar face.
"Luo Chen greets Senior…" The burly man sighed and clasped his hand at Wang Lin.
"You… When did you separate from the Moongazer Serpent?" Wang Lin looked at the other.
"After I followed Lord Xuan back here, Lord Xuan helped me separate from the Moongazer Serpent," the burly man calmly said as he looked at Wang Lin. He recalled when he first met the young man before him and how weak he was. Now Wang Lin had became a Grand Empyrean and even killed the Ancient Dao Emperor. The Ancient Dao Holy Emperor could only watch as Wang Lin left.
The blue sea turned into mulberry fields - this was usually used to describe the scenery, but right now, it was how Luo Chen felt.
Wang Lin softly said, "Why didn't you come to find me?"
The burly man smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had long known Wang Lin had come to the Ancient Dao imperial city and had thought about coming to see Wang Lin. However, Wang Lin's status was too high as he was the only disciple of Xuan Luo and the future guardian of the Ancient Dao. Luo Chen was merely an insignificant member of the Ancient Dao.
The difference between them stopped him.
Seeing the other party's bitter smile, Wang Lin silently pondered. He could vaguely guess Luo Chen's thoughts and sighed.
Wang Lin softly said, "Help me with something."
"Lord, please give me your command." Luo Chen clasped his hands, and his voice was filled with determination.
"You should know of Ye Mo's existence…" Wang Lin looked at Lou Chen.
Luo Chen nodded. When he arrived at the Ancient Dao, he had learned about everything from Xuan Luo and learned of the origin of his bloodline.
"Help me take care of Ye Mo's descendants." Wang Lin looked up into the distance of the Ancient Dao imperial city.
"As you command. I'm currently living in Lord Ye Mo's mansion," Luo Chen quickly answered. When he came to the Ancient Dao imperial city, he had no home. He had chosen not to stay at the Ancient Dao Temple and instead followed his bloodline to Ye Mo's descendants. Although Ye Mo's descendants were also part of the royal family, they had fallen and only had one mansion.
Ye Mo's descendants had decided to accept him.
Wang Lin revealed a smile. This was a smile filled with memories and emotions. He looked at this burly man as he raised his left hand and pressed his palm on Luo Chen's chest. Then a flash of silver appeared on his hand.
Luo Chen's body trembled and silver light shined from his body. The silver light was blinding and caused pain for most of the people who looked at it, causing them to subconsciously withdraw their gazes.
"Soul blood!!" When the Holy Emperor Ancestor Ye Wei saw this, her expression changed.
Xuan Luo's eyes also narrowed. He looked at Wang Lin and Luo Chen. He revealed a complicated expression and let out a sigh.
Luo Chen's body trembled and he clearly feel a hot stream come from Wang Lin and enter his bloodline, causing his bloodline to become incomparably pure. He already had a trace of royal bloodline, and as his bloodline became more pure, he gave off a bloodline pressure comparable to that of the previous Ancient Dao Emperor!
After a long time, Wang Lin withdrew his left hand. He spread out a bit of his soul blood into Luo Chen and allowed Lou Chen's bloodline to reach the point of being qualified to come the Ancient Dao emperor.
"Back then, you gifted me the ancient god stars… Today, you guard Ye Mo's descendants… I give you the royal bloodline to repay your kindness!" Wang LIn waved his sleeve and flew into the sky with Song Zhi. He disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only the silent Ancient Dao members staring at the sky.
Xuan Luo looked at the direction where Wang Lin went for a long long time. He let out a sigh from the bottom of his heart. He didn't say more or look at Ye Wei, but focused his gaze on Luo Chen.
"I remember that you're called Luo Chen, correct?"
"Luo Chen greets Lord Xuan." The silver light dissipated and seemed to condense inside Luo Chen's body. After he heard Xuan Luo's words, he dropped down on one knee and was very respectful.
Xuan Luo looked at Luo Chen and pondered as if he was making a decision. A moment later, he revealed a decisive gaze and nodded at Luo Chen.
"I choose him!" Xuan Luo pointed at Luo Chen and then looked at Ye Wei.
Ye Wei revealed hesitation as she looked at Luo Chen, and after a long time, she let out a sigh.
"I'm going to continue my closed door cultivation. As for the royal candidate, I'll leave it to Lord Xuan to decide." She turned and walked to the coffin in the purple light. As the purple light dissipated, the coffin sank back into the ground.
Even until now, Grand Empyrean Gu Dao had never appeared this entire time. Even Grand Empyrean Gu Dao's messengers never appeared, as if they were intentionally avoiding the situation.
Even though the Ancient Dao Emperor had called, Grand Empyrean Gu Dao, the guardian of the royal families, still hadn't taken any action. The Ancient Dao people didn't talk about this; they buried this doubt deep inside their hearts.
Wang Lin also felt doubt about Grand Empyrean Gu Dao not appearing. He had made preparations for the worse. If Grand Empyrean Gu Dao had appeared, he would've gone all out and summon his avatar in the void to fight against him!
His chance of failure was great, but he had to fight!
However, Gu Dao had never appeared. At this moment, Wang Lin rushed forward and charged at the mountain that had been split in half by the Ancient Ancestor. He suppressed the doubt in his mind - this was not the time to think about this matter. Even if he continued to think about it, he wouldn't come up with anything. The most important thing was to head to the deserted mountain to resolve the question he had in his heart!
Who was the mysterious Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher!?
As he flew forward, the hand holding Song Zhi lit up and she was put into his storage space. This trip would be dangerous, and Wang Lin didn't want her to suffer any injuries.
After Song Zhi disappeared, Wang Lin's eyes revealed a monstrous, cold gaze and he disappeared. When he reappeared, he was outside the deserted mountain that had been cut in half.
He raised his right hand and pressed down at the deserted mountain below!
With this, a giant palmprint appeared in the sky and rushed toward the mountain. Heaven-shattering rumbles echoed as Wang Lin flew into the collapsed mountain!
The mountain trembled. Under the impact of Wang Lin's palm, this mountain started collapsing on a large scale, as if a majority of the mountain was being erased. The giant formation below was revealed and was surrounded by a 10-colored fog. The 10-colored fog flashed and was not damaged at all by Wang Lin's palm.
When Wang Lin's palm touched this fog, it turned into countless bubbles that quickly dissipated.
"You came…" A hoarse and erratic voice came from the 10-colored mist and echoed within the ruins of the mountain.
Wang Lin stood outside the 10-colored mist, and his gaze was cold. He felt like this voice was familiar but very unfamiliar. This made it very difficult to confirm the speculation in his heart.
"Is the Ancient Dao imperial teacher someone who hides like this? You took my wife's soul and let the Ancient Dao Emperor find someone to fuse with it with the purpose of targeting me. Now I came to you, but you are covered in fog. Are you afraid I will recognize you, or you are someone I know?" Wang Lin coldly said.
After a brief silence, a hoarse laughter came from the fog, and it caused the fog to move.
"You have many doubts in your heart… You are wondering who I am, how I took Li Muwan's soul, how I brought her to the Immortal Astral Continent, and you're wondering what my purpose for doing this is.
"You have a lot of doubts…" The hoarse voice slowly echoed.
"... Come in. If you can break through the fog and see my true face, I can help you resolve some of your doubts."
Wang Lin's heart trembled, but his expression remained the same. He silently raised his hand and green smoke swirled around his fingers and formed circles of green smoke that shot toward the fog.
At the same time, the metal, wood, water, and earth Extreme Daos also appeared along with the sixth Life and Death Extreme Dao. They appeared before Wang Lin, formed a black and white tattoo that contained six Extreme Daos. He waved his hand and the six Extreme Dao tattoo flew toward the 10-colored mist.

The moment it touched the fog, the fog seemed to boil and spread outwards. Roars of beasts came from within the fog.
The roars were heaven-shaking and spread out in all directions. When Wang Lin's six Extreme Dao tattoo entered the fog, it looked as if it was being devoured by the fog.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he didn't act recklessly. If the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher inside the fog was really the person he thought, then this fog wouldn't be simple and that person wouldn't casually allow him to step inside.
"This person has been here for a long time and has even created a giant array that connects to the palace. To place such a strange formation in the Ancient clan, his goal must be great!
"Since he hasn't left and is still surrounded by the 10-colored fog, that means he was at the critical moment of a spell." Wang Lin stared at the fog, and as he pondered, thunderous rumbles came from within the fog.
The fog rapidly churned and a giant sphinx charged out from inside. Its large body gave off black gas that released a powerful pressure around it.
After this beast appeared, Wang Lin's six Extreme Dao tattoo descended down on the beast. The beast howled and charged at the tattoo, causing the thunderous rumbles.
"You have some methods. If it was the complete eight Extreme Dao from the Celestial Ancestor, you might really break this old man's 10-colored fog. However, with only six, you have to try harder if you want to come in." As the fog rumbled, a light laugh came from inside. This laugh and voice were extremely clear, even through this rumbling.
Wang Lin's expression remained the same. He waved his sleeve, causing an overlapping shadow to appear. His five-element true body appeared, and it looked exactly the same as him. There was a flash of coldness in his eyes and then he charged at the 10-colored fog. He closed in on the giant beast and waved his palm. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth appeared.
Countless small, golden swords appeared, forming a sword storm. The storm contained powerful metal essence, and it rushed toward the giant beast. The beast was about to resist when the power of earth smashed down on it. At the same time, the sword storm arrived and it let out a miserable scream.
As this miserable scream echoed, the 10-colored fog churned violently and four large figures appeared. The first was a giant python. Its body was incredibly large and it let out a baby-like cry. It opened its mouth and spat out large amount of red aura that surrounded the five-element true body.
The second giant beast to appear was a huge lizard. This lizard was very strange and was completely white, like white jade. When it appeared, it spat out its tongue and a coldness spread out toward Wang Lin's five-element true body.
There was also a strange mantis beast with six wings. Its target was not Wang Lin, but the six Extreme Dao tattoo above.
The final beast was an ugly worm-like beast. Its body constantly released a sticky liquid that dripped down. There were two tentacles near its head, and at the tips of the tentacles were the heads of beautiful women!
When this beast appeared, the two women on the tentacles let out sharp screams and looked at Wang Lin. There were flashes of ferociousness in their eyes before the two of them charged out of the fog toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's expression remained calm. When the strange worm arrived, he raised his right hand and a giant Ancient Dao shadow appeared behind him. Then his 27 stars all appeared, and Wang Lin threw the punch.
The Ancient Dao shadow behind him also threw a punch.
Thunder rumbles echoed. The beast with beautiful woman heads as tenacles was knocked back into the fog. However, in the blink of an eye, it appeared once more, and it wasn't injured at all.
Wang Lin frowned. The two beasts attacking his five-element true body let out miserable screams. Two giant, tree-like hands appeared above the two beasts. They smashed down and turned the two beasts into bloody messes.
As for the white jade-like lizard, it was surrounded by a sea of fire filled with fire essence. The lizard screamed and retreated into the fog.
There was also the mantis-like beast with six wings. It flew toward Wang Lin's six Extreme Dao tattoo, but the tattoo suddenly exploded into a giant hand. It grabbed the beast and mercilessly squeezed it, causing the beast to collapse.
However, what was strange was that another six-winged mantis beast flew out from the fog!
However, the moment the beast flew out, a large amount of water vapor appeared around it, instantly piercing through the beast's body like sharp swords.
At the same time, the worm that had tentacles connected to the heads of beautiful women, which had been knocked back by Wang Lin's punch, was about to charge out once more when grains of sand appeared. This was Wang Lin's earth essence true body, and it rushed toward the worm. In the blink of an eye, the beast became a dirt statue!
With a thunderous bang, the dirt statue shattered into pieces.
With his five-element true body and six Extreme Daos, it was enough to suppress the five beasts. Wang Lin's eyes lit up and his right hand pointed at the sky. A giant Ancient Dao shadow appeared. It became even more solid, like a real person, and it walked toward the fog. It clenched its fist and threw a punch at the center of the fog!
However, the moment this punch landed on the fog, it seemed to be blocked and a giant sea beast with eight tentacles emerged from the fog. Its eight tentacles wrapped around the arm of the Ancient Dao shadow and then it let out a sharp roar.
Shortly after, three beasts appeared one by one from the illusion. One was a roc. It opened its wings and flew into the sky. There was also a giant, purple phoenix. The moment it appeared, purple light scattered and its cry echoed across the world.
The last beast was a human-shaped thing. It was a giant that had two heads. Its hands hammered its chest as it opened its mouth and charged at Wang Lin.
A total of nine beasts had appeared from the fog to prevent Wang Lin from entering!
"There should still be a 10h beast!" Wang Lin sneered as he raised his left hand and pointed at the roc in the sky. The space around the roc seemed to be separated from the world and then was suddenly squeezed. There was a flash of light from his finger - it was the Ancient Ancestor Finger!
At the same time, an overlapping shadow appeared on Wang Lin's body again and then his slaughter thunder true body walked out. The hair of the essence true body turned black and gave off a terrifying killing intent while revealing a cruel smile. His eyes were cold and heartless as he stepped forward and turned into countless black threads that penetrated the purple phoenix. The phoenix let out a miserable scream and exploded, then the slaughter thunder essence true body walked out. He licked his lips and charged at another beast.
As for the ninth beast, the two-head giant was only a few hundred feet from Wang Lin. He was blasted with a fishy smell as it ferociously charged forward.
"Courting death!" There was a flash of killing intent in his eyes. Although his five-element true body and slaughter thunder essence true body were away and he was left with only his ethereal essences, he was not someone this mere beast could mess with.
Wang Lin still had the strongest Ancient clan spell that he had never used. In the entire Ancient clan, it was a shockingly powerful life-saving spell!
The moment the two-headed giant closed in, Wang Lin let out a roar at the sky. Popping sounds came from him and his body expanded from a normal person to thousands of feet tall!
Ancient Dao True Body!
This was the first time Wang Lin had revealed his Ancient Dao True Body. His powerful body emitted an ancient aura. There were fine, dark patterns covering his body, giving off a mysterious feeling.
"Scram for me!" In the Ancient clan, one would not casually reveal their Ancient Dao True Body, because if this body was damaged, it would impact their cultivation too much. Also, its made it inconvenient, unless it was on the battlefield.
In the palace, the Ancient Dao members and the emperor hadn't even had time to reveal their Ancient Dao True Bodies before they were destroyed by Wang Lin.
Thousands of feet was not Wang Lin's limit. He stepped forward and threw a punch. The two-headed giant revealed fear and howled as it also threw a punch. However, when their punches collided, the giant's body exploded.
There was no resistance at all. Wang Lin's step landed directly inside the fog and his body expanded once more, from 7,000 to 8,000 feet, but it was still not his limit!
His huge fist smashed down on the fog. Just as his fist was about to land, a shocking buzz came from the fog. The buzz spread out violently and the beasts fighting against Wang Lin's five-element true body and the slaughter thunder essence true body exploded. They turned into fog and returned.
The mist moved and gathered rapidly. When Wang Lin's punch landed, a giant beast that was also 7,000 to 8,000 feet tall rushed out from the fog!
This beast's large wings opened, and it had two eyes. It was a giant fly!! It smashed into Wang Lin's punch.
With a bang, Wang Lin's body trembled, and when he lowered his head, his eyes revealed a strange light. When the fly was knocked back, he saw the fog spread apart and saw an old man sitting at the center!
He knew this old man!
"All-Seer!! It indeed was you!!"

The inside the deserted mountain that had turned into a ruin a huge formation was revealed as the fog dissipated. A figure was sitting at the center of the 10-colored formation, and Wang Lin could now see the appearance of the figure.
It was an old man, and he looked very similar to the All-Seer!!
However when Wang Lin took a closer look not only was this person similar to All-Seer but was also similar to another person!
"Wang Lin, we meet again." The old man smiled as if he was very calm as he looked at Wang Lin. His smile was elusive. It seemed to contain greed and some reminiscence, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a hidden trace of fear.
Wang Lin's body was 7,000 to 8,000 feet tall. Staring at the old man, he said, "Should I call you 'All-Seer' or 'Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign?'"
This person's appearance was like an overlap of the All-Seer and the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign.
"I have a lot of names, but even now, I like to be called 'All-Seer.'" The old man smiled and he pressed his right hand down on the formation.
The giant formation activated once more, emitting a strange light. This light shrouded the world and attracted the power of the world. It created a shockwave, and even Wang Lin's body was forced back several steps.
"Transfer!!" Wang Lin's eyes lit up. With his understanding of restrictions, he could instantly tell that the formation below the All-Seer was a transfer array!
"Unfortunately, you haven't killed enough…" The old man let out a sigh.
Wang Lin didn't make any sound. He had many doubts, but he didn't say anything. He raised his right hand and smashed down on the formation. Wang Lin's powerful body and strong fist smashed into the formation, but he immediately felt a powerful rebound force.
Popping sounds came from his body and his right hand was knocked back. He looked over to find that the formation wasn't damaged at all!!
"You can't break this formation… You can't stop this old man's plan. I had waited for too long for this day…" The old man shook his head and looked at Wang Lin. His eyes revealed a strange gaze - it contained a complicated emotion, greed, and fear.
Wang Lin had seen this kind of gaze on the All-Seer before, but it had never been so clear before. This was related to the fact that his cultivation had reached Grand Empyrean level.
"The All-Seer is already dead and the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign is gone. Who are you!?" Wang Lin roared, and his body expanded once more. He was now a giant over 10,000 feet tall. His roar was like a gust of wind, and his right foot smashed down on the formation below.
Thunderous rumbles echoed, but when Wang Lin's right foot touched the formation, his foot trembled and the powerful rebound force knocked him back again.
"Who am I…" The old man silently pondered for a moment and laughed.
"Who am I? Aside from myself, there is only one other person that knows. And you will know soon enough!" The formation around the old man shined brightly and began to buzz. As the formation activated, the earth began to shake as well.
"What kind of transfer array is this that can shake the earth?" There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes. It didn't matter if this person was the All-Seer or the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign, he was the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher that was responsible for taking Wan Er's soul fragment. He was someone Wang Lin was going to kill!
Seeing the formation become even more intense, Wang Lin took a deep breath and rumbles came from his body. The blue blood vessels on his body and face swelled, making him look extremely fierce.
He let out a roar and his body expanded once more. He became tens of thousands of feet tall and reached almost 100,000 feet.
Such a large body caused the world to change colors. The formation below was like an ant to him. Wang Lin's eyes revealed endless silver light as he threw another punch at the formation.
As this punch fell, the power of the world within 5 kilometers, 50 kilometer, 500 kilometers, 50,000 kilometers, even over hundreds of thousands of kilometers was all pulled in. It was as if Wang Lin's punch had turned into a black hole that devoured all the power and smashed down on the world.
The old man inside the formation looked up at this with a strange expression and didn't panic at all. When the punch landed, the light from the formation flashed violently and suddenly shattered, then the punch closed in on the old man.
In the blink of an eye, the punch touched the old man's body, but it penetrated his body, penetrated the formation, and landed on the ground. The earth trembled violently and waves spread out in all directions. The mountain burst open and a giant hole appeared.
However, Wang Lin's expression became gloomy because the old man and the formation were still there without any damage!
It was as if this old man and the formation didn't exist and everything was just an illusion. The old man and the formation seemed to exist in a completely different space from Wang Lin!
"Why waste your energy…" The old man smiled as he shook his head and sighed.
Wang Lin silently pondered for a moment and said, "After this long, you still haven't transferred away. This not just a transfer array." When his words entered the old man's ears, the old man's eyes lit up.
Wang Lin closed his eyes and his body shrank and the giant figure disappeared in the blink of an eye. Instead, a normal-sized white-robed Wang Lin appeared.
Because he had shrunk too fast, the giant figure seemed to dissipate like an illusion.
After returning to his normal size, he stepped forward and arrived before the formation. He looked at the old man that looked like both the All-Seer and the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign. He waved his right hand and the five-element true body and the slaughter thunder essence true body returned to his body.
The old man slowly said, "This formation is indeed not just a transfer array… Its real effect is to open an ancient gate… Unfortunately, your slaughter is not powerful enough…
"You can't break this formation and can't stop the activation of this formation. Its better to sit down and talk for a short period of time. This old man can perhaps solve some of your doubts for you." The old man smiled as he looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin silently pondered and shook his head after a moment. He stepped forward and a giant sun appeared behind him. This sun was black and white and emitted black and white light. It looked very strange in this world.
"I'm not used to talking to someone through a formation," Wang Lin calmly said, then he walked toward the edge of the formation. Ripples echoed as Wang Lin walked inside.
Although he had walked through the formation, it was as if he was standing in a different space from the formation.
The old man looked at Wang Lin, who was only a few hundred feet away, and revealed a pitiful look. However, in the next breath, the old man's pupils violently shrank.
As Wang Lin stood there, his cultivation level continued to rise. The Grand Empyrean sun behind him shined brightly and expanded to more than 10 times the previous size in the blink of an eye!
The giant Grand Empyrean sun gave off even more light, but it didn't stop expanding. From a distance, it was like a ball being blown larger and larger.
"What are you going to do!?" The old man's expression became gloomy as he stared at the Grand Empyrean sun. Without hesitation, he raised his right hand. The giant fly circling him started buzzing loudly. It revealed a forecious gaze and charged at Wang Lin.
But when the fly came within a few dozen feet of Wang Lin, it could not get any closer. It was as if there was an invisible barrier stopping it from getting closer.
Thunderous rumbles echoed. This sound came from the fly smashing into the invisible barrier due to anger. Wang Lin's right hand reached into the void before him and a soul appeared. It was the soul of the Celestial Emperor!
Holding this soul, Wang Lin closed his eyes and his cultivation level continued to rise. When his cultivation raised to speak Void Tribulant, it continued to increase! He poured all his power into the soul, causing the Celestial Emperor's soul's eyes to open and release dazzling, golden light. However, these eyes contained no consciousness and were filled with confusion. Wang Lin waved his right hand and threw the soul into the Grand Empyrean sun behind him.
There was a blurry head hidden inside the giant Grand Empyrean sun. This was the Celestial Ancestor's head that Wang Lin had taken out back at the Ancient Dao palace and then put back into the Grand Empyrean sun.
The moment the Celestial Emperor's soul entered the Grand Empyrean sun and the Celestial Ancestor's head, the Grand Empyrean sun expanded once more to 100 times its original size!
Wang Lin's body trembled and he let out a roar. The Grand Empyrean sun expanded several more folds before his eyes suddenly opened.
"Ignite, Grand Empyrean sun!" The Grand Empyrean sun began to burn. From a distance, it looked like a giant black and white fireball, and a sea of fire surged through the sky!
The old man's expression changed, then he suddenly stood up and roared, "Don't you want to truly resurrect Li Muwan!?"

Wang Lin's eyes lit up, but he didn't speak or stop his crazed actions. He had made the Celestial Emperor's soul fuse with the Celestial Ancestor's head to make it melt a bit faster. He had fused them with his Grand Empyrean sun to borrow a powerful force.
At this moment, as the Grand Empyrean sun burned, the giant sun shrank rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it shrank from its vast size until it disappeared. A the same time, the powerful force entered Wang Lin's body in a strange way, then his right foot stomped down.
When he stomped down, Wang Lin let out a roar and a thunderous boom echoed around him!
If this formation was located in a space different from that of the Immortal Astral Continent, all of Wang Lin's previous attacks had been useless. It was as if the formation was intangible - he could see it but not touch it.
The formation was here so it could absorb the death aura from the palace. This meant that even though it was in a different space, the spaces overlapped here.
Wang Lin had seen his kind of spell before. Back in the Celestial Palace, he had encountered something similar.
At this moment, he was burning his Grand Empyrean sun in exchange for the power to break open the void. He was going to use his powerful body and cultivation to break open the barrier to enter that space.
This spell was similar to stepping out of the cave world and directly entering the Immortal Astral Continent. This spell would be like crossing the boundary between worlds, which would even be difficult for Grand Empyreans, unless it was like the Celestial Palace, where an entrance had been created. However, Wang Lin was trying to force his way in now, and it was extremely difficult.
The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher's expression had changed because of Wang Lin's crazed actions!
Wang Lin's right foot rose, and when it landed, thunderous rumbles echoed. The formation flashed violently and a large, invisible net seemed to appear. The net bent, and if Wang Lin could break it, he could cross the boundary!
The flickering net could only vaguely be seen by the eye. When Wang Lin's right foot landed on the net, it seemed to be reaching a limit. Wang Lin's body also trembled and sweat appeared on his forehead. Although he had obtained great strength, this was extremely difficult for him.
All of this happened in an instant. The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher stood up and his hands formed seals. 10-colored light shot toward the net under Wang Lin's foot. It made the net stronger and more resilient, and now the net seemed to contain an elastic force that was going to lift Wang Lin's feet.
Before Wang Lin, the giant fly seemed to have gone crazy and continued to smash into the barrier. It wanted to tear open the barrier and charge at Wang Lin.
After reinforcing the net, the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher bit the tip of his tongue and coughed out a mouthful of blood. However, the blood didn't fall on the net, but went through the formation, into the unknown.
But at this moment, the activation of the formation increased several folds. The sound of murmuring seemed to increase, as if countless people were speaking, but you couldn't hear anything clearly.
"With my blood to lead the soul of the heavens, activate!" As the old man roared, countless souls appeared inside the formation. When Wang Lin saw these souls, his body trembled.
These souls belonged to people who had died to Wang Lin in the cave world!!
These souls turned into black gas and charged out from the formation. They flew into the sky and formed a giant vortex, then an illusion appeared inside the vortex!
The illusion was like an image, and it reflected the celestial clan!!
On the Immortal Astral Continent, at the Mountain Sea Continent, a few scattered cultivators stared at the sea dumbfoundedly. The sea level seemed to drop, then a large, black pillar suddenly rose from the bottom of the sea. It flew into the sky and disappeared.
Wang Lin saw the scene inside the vortex. He didn't know what it meant, but he felt his hair stand up, as if something that would shock the entire Immortal Astral Continent had appeared!
He took a deep breath and, without hesitation, his right foot stomped down in an attempt to break the looming net and enter the space the formation was in. However, the net was reinforced and erupted with endless power, preventing Wang Lin from breaking it open. As a result, thunderous rumbles echoed when Wang Lin stomped at the net.
The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher coughed out three mouthfuls of blood and attracted even more death souls. These death souls were all people Wang Lin had killed. They revealed painful expressions as they let out roars and turned into black gas that flew into the sky.
They turned into three giant vortexes that lined up with the other vortex. A different image appeared in each vortex.
Cloud Wave Continent. There was a giant ocean on this continent, and normally there weren't many waves. There were many small islands on this ocean, and there were many cultivators on them. The calm sea suddenly rumbled and countless islands were flooded. Large amounts of cultivators flew out and were shocked by this. The ocean's level seemed to drop and then a giant pillar flew into the sky and disappeared.
The other two places were oceans in the celestial clan, and huge pillars flew out of them and into the sky. The last place could not even be called an ocean. It was the frozen land where Grand Empyrean Wu Feng was. The ice suddenly burst open, revealing the frozen ocean below, and a huge pillar pierced through the ice and flew into the sky.
Wu Feng stood in the distance and looked at this. This pillar gave off an ancient aura, as if it had existed for countless years. A large amount of pressure also spread out, shaking the world.
"It… It's ahead of time!!!" Wu Feng muttered, but soon his eyes shined brightly.
Wang Lin clearly saw all of this in the vortex in the sky. Seeing that the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher was about to cough out the fifth mouthful of blood, Wang Lin didn't hesitate to summon his strongest avatar in the void. A hazy fog appeared around him and his power suddenly erupted. His right foot contained his full power as he stomped down on the net.
When he stomped down, an overlapping shadow appeared over his original body as if there was another body there. This was his avatar in the void!
With one stomp, a part of the net collapsed, creating a hole. When Wang Lin's foot landed, he stepped inside the space the formation was in!
His body was still here, but his right foot had landed in that space!
This was his limit. He could not make his entire body enter that space, but just his right foot could achieve his goal. There was a flash of black light on his foot and then he withdrew it. Then a large amount of black gas drilled into the hole as the net recovered.
In the space where the formation was, the black gas gathered at the edge of the formation to form a black-haired Wang Lin. His eyes were cold and indifferent, devoid of all emotion. This was Wang Lin's slaughter thunder essence true body. Its name...
"Slaughter!!" The person who said the name of this true body was the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher!
As the old man stared at the black-haired true body, there was a flash of fear in his eyes.
"I'm not used to talking to someone across space, I like talking to people face to face like this," the black-haired slaughter thunder essence true body said as he looked around.
This was a very strange space. It seemed infinite in size but also seemed like it was only so large. It gave people a strange illusion. There were also murmurs constantly echoing, as if there were countless people talking, but you couldn't clearly hear a single sentence.
Slaughter withdrew his gaze and walked toward the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher.
Outside the formation, Wang Lin's original body sat down with his eyes closed. His full focus was on the slaughter true body in the other space.
"You seem to be very afraid of me, and you know the name of this true body of mine…" The black-haired Slaughter looked at the old man and the formation coldly. He waved his hand and countless strands of black gas appeared to destroy this formation.
"If you destroy this formation, there is no chance for Li Muwan to awaken! That soul fragment is only a soul fragment. Even if you put it into the Heaven Avoiding Coffin, it can't awaken her. The only way to resurrect the dead is to rely on this formation!
"Even if you rely on the power of the Ancient Ancestor's soul blood to temporarily awaken her, she can't escape reincarnation. A few years later, she would turn back into a corpse. If you want her to escape reincarnation, you have to rely on this formation," the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher suddenly said.
Slaughter's right hand paused for a moment. Outside the formation, Wang Lin opened his eyes.
"What place is this formation opening?"
The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher, who looked like the All-Seer and the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign, pondered a bit and said, "The Immemorial God Realm!
"If you want to allow Li Muwan to break out from reincarnation and not suffer the pain of reincarnation, you must go the Immemorial God Realm. There, you are sheltered from reincarnation, and you can use your reincarnation dao to break Li Muwan's dream barrier, find her true self, and surpass reincarnation.
"The Immemorial God Realm has only been partially opened in the past, but with my method, I can open it completely!"
However, there was a flash of killing intent in Slaughter's eyes. After his right hand paused, it moved once more as if he was going to destroy the formation.

The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher's voice was fierce as he roared, "If this formation is destroyed, you will never know the truth about the cave world and the Immortal Astral Continent!!
"You will still have to watch Li Muwan's soul die and return to the reincarnation cycle. You still won't allow her to accompany you forever!"
The eyes of the black-haired slaughter avatar lit up and his right hand stopped. The black gas still moved along his hand, and it was a shocking sight.
"You have the Celestial Ancestor's soul blood, and it has the power of creation, but even if you integrate the entire drop into Li Muwan's body, it won't allow her to safely enter the Immemorial God Realm.
"The Immemorial God Realm is the supreme holy land of the Immortal Astral Continent. Ordinary cultivators can't enter it; they either need powerful cultivation or a powerful body.
"This time, the Immemorial God Realm will open completely. This will be completely different from the times it has opened before. If you want to enter with Li Muwan, you need to make her body indestructible so that it can be taken there. Then use the power of reincarnation to find her true self and separate her from reincarnation into an immortal existence!" the All-Seer said rapidly before coughing out another two mouthfuls of blood.
His blood was like mist and penetrated the formation. Two more masses of death souls of people Wang Lin had killed formed two balls of black gas and flew into the sky.
In the sky, they lined up with the previous four vortexes. They seemed like they were going to form a circle.
Those two masses of black gas revealed different images.
It wasn't the celestial clan, but the Ancient clan this time!
One showed the Ancient Ji area, where there was a vast sea. The sea was dark and gave off a smell of decay. This was the famous Death Sea of the Ancient Ji.
Normally, this was a good place for the people of the Ancient Ji to cultivate. The pressure from the sea would mold a person, and if they could persist, it would help you stimulate their full potential.
However, a huge wave appeared in his Death Sea now. This wave spread in all directions and a howl echoed. The sea depressed and a huge pillar flew into the sky and disappeared. The Death Sea's level lowered and now half of the water was missing.
As this pillar flew into the sky, a huge pillar also flew out from the sea at the border of the Ancient Dao and Ancient Shi. Large amounts of ripples spread in all directions and attracted the attention of everyone who saw it. However, aside from a few people, no one else knew what was happening.
"All the answers you want are inside the Immemorial God Realm. Once you go there, you will know the answer!" Inside the formation, the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
The black-haired slaughter avatar's gaze fell on the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher.
"The space you exist in is still different from the space the formation is in…" As he spoke, he pointed at the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher. A large amount of black gas came out of the tip of his finger and flew at the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher.
The old man didn't dodge at all and allowed the black gas to pass through his body. However, his body seemed intangible and didn't take any damage. It was as if he was only a reflection and didn't exist here.
The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher's pupils shrank as he looked at the slaughter avatar, and dread appeared in his eyes.
"I still don't believe your words!" Wang Lin, who was sitting outside the formation, was watching everything inside the formation. His slaughter avatar had spoken, and he didn't seem to be shocked by the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher's words.
The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher clenched his teeth and suddenly said, "Do you possess a strand of white hair and a fist-sized skull?"
When the slaughter avatar heard this, his eyes revealed coldness. Outside the formation, Wang Lin's original body looked up.
"You have indeed obtained them!" When the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher saw, this he became spirited.
Seeing the slaughter avatar move, the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher quickly said, "After entering the Immemorial God Realm, with the hair as the guide and the skull to light your way, you will find the truth! If you destroy this formation, this old man's plan will fail, but you will also never know the truth. One day, you will even come to regret it!!"
Today's matter was beyond his expectations. He had thought that Wang Lin could not enter this space. He had never expected Wang Lin to have the power to break through the boundaries!
Facing the slaughter essence true body, the old man felt an indescribable sense of fear from the bottom of his heart and soul.
"It shouldn't be like this!! Could something have gone wrong!?!" The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher howled in his heart, but he revealed nothing on his face. However, Wang Lin could destroy the formation at any moment and destroy his years preparation, so he had been forced to reveal a lot more secrets.
The black-haired Slaughter slowly said, "Interesting. I can spare this formation, but you have to tell me why this formation requires the souls of those my original body killed to activate!"
The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher's expression changed and he seemed to hesitate, but he immediately saw Wang Lin raise his hand to destroy the formation.
"Because the Immemorial God Realm has…" The old man clenched his teeth, and just was he was about to say those words, his body trembled. He let out a miserable scream and his body showed signs of dissipating.
"This… This is the law of the realm!! I can't say it! If this old man were to say this, I would die!" The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher's face instantly turned pale.
Slaughter walked forward and coldly said, "Oh? You don't have to tell me that, but you have to tell me who you are!"
"Seven-Colored is this old man, All-Seer is this old man, and the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher is also this old man. Even this…" As the old man spoke, his body trembled once more and he let out a painful howl.
The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher suddenly became fierce and said, "I can't say it!! Wang Lin, this formation is important to this old man, but it is also important to you. If you insist on destroying the formation, this old man won't stop you anymore!!"
Everything had gone wrong today because he had never expected Wang Lin to break the boundary and send his slaughter avatar in. Otherwise, he would've still been holding the initiative, unlike now, where he was completely passive.
Slaughter silently pondered. Outside the formation, Wang Lin's eyes revealed a complicated expression. After a long time, he let out a sigh. After seeing the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher's reaction, he had a strange guess in his heart. However, this guess was so bizarre, he didn't dare believe it!
However, this matter involved Li Muwan. In regards to the matter about Li Muwan, Wang Lin knew the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher wasn't wrong. The soul blood could awaken her temporarily, but she wouldn't be able to break out from reincarnation and would still die one day.
If he wanted to surpass reincarnation, perhaps he would really have to head to the Immemorial God Realm.
Staring at the old man, Wang Lin closed his eyes. At that moment, Slaughter withdrew his right hand. The black gas around him condensed and no longer spread out.
Slaughter coldly said, "Continue the formation!"
The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher was not surprised. He looked meaningfully at Wang Lin's original body outside the formation before coughing out two more mouthfuls of blood.
The two mouthfuls of blood turned into two masses of black gas filled with death souls. They rushed into the sky and combined with the six previous vortexes to form a perfect circle.
At the same time, at two other places in the Ancient clan, two large pillars flew into the air. The earth trembled as they disappeared into the sky.
In the sky, the eight black vortexes rotated rapidly until one of them erupted with black light. The black light was like ink and spread in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky turned black!
Not only the sky here, but the entire sky of the Ancient can turned black. Even the skies of the vast seas and the 72 continents of the celestial clan turned into night!
The entire Immortal Astral Continent was shrouded in night!
After nine breaths, the darkness that shrouded the entire Immortal Astral Continent disappeared. Wang Lin looked up at the sky to find that one of the eight vortexes had disappeared. At the same time, he felt something strange in his heart. He faintly saw that a huge pillar had appeared in the vast sea between the Ancient clan and the celestial clan.
Just at this moment, one of the seven remaining vortexes in the sky erupted with the same black light.
The sky turned black and, nine breaths later, the darkness disappeared. Only six vortexes remained, but a second pillar appeared in the vast sea.
As the world alternated between black and white, the entire Immortal Astral Continent began to tremble. Huge waves were set off in the vast sea, creating heaven-shattering rumbles.
Wang Lin could vaguely feel everything happening across the vast sea. Something that could affect the entire Immortal Astral Continent could only be caused by the legendary Immemorial God Realm that could make someone a Grand Empyrean!!
"Immemorial God Realm…" Wang Lin muttered. He had heard about this place a long time ago, but this was the first time he would witness it opening.
This was the fifth time the sky had turned black, and after nine breaths, it returned to day again. Wang Lin looked up and saw that only three vortexes remained!
Inside the formation, the All-Seer looked excited. He seemed to have been waiting for this for a long time. He seemed to be able to see the changes on the vast sea, and his eyes were filled with desire and madness.

As the entire Immortal Astral Continent alternated between black and white, at Mount Emperor, Grand Empyrean Jiu Di flew out from his closed door cultivation. He looked into the distance and his expression changed.
"This is indeed the Immemorial God Realm… It has opened from the Ancient clan this time… And the time is a lot earlier than normal… The opening of the Immemorial God Realm should not open this early. This means…"
"This will be the first time the Immemorial God Realm will open completely, and it will be different from before." A woman's voice came from beside Jiu Di. It was Hai Zi, who was wearing a white robe. She looked into the distance with a complicated gaze.
"I can't divinate it completely - this is all I could see. I also divinated that we have to wait several hundred years for the Immemorial God Realm to actually open."
"A complete opening!!" An unsuppressed excitement appeared in Jiu Di's eyes.
"If it opens completely, then there might be a method for Grand Empyreans to surpass their current level and reach the level of the Celestial Ancestor!"
Celestial clan, the Dao Yi Sect. Over the years, the Dao Yi Sect had become a gloomy land. Countless powerful people had died and Grand Empyrean Dao Yi had remained in closed door cultivation. This caused the population here to become sparse.
However, at this moment, a roar came from the Dao Yi Sect. As the roar echoed, one of the mountains collapsed and figure covered in grey gas flew out. This figure was ferocious and stared at the distance.
"Immemorial God Realm!! There might be a method for me to completely get rid of the ancestral curse there and allow my cultivation level to increase!"
Inside the Purple Yang Sect, the two lovely little girls were in closed door cultivation. The Celestial Ancestor's eyes were between the two of them. The eyes gave off a strange light that connected the two of them.
At this moment, the two of them both opened their eyes and looked toward the same direction. Their gazes seemed to penetrate the wall, seeing the world outside.
Wu Feng, who was the first in the Celestial clan to notice this, was standing on an iceberg with anticipation in his eyes.
At the same time, deep under the palace of the Celestial Ancestral City, there was an overlapping space. Inside the space, there was a mountain, and the madman remained motionless there.
Aside from the powerful members of the celestial clan, the people of the Ancient clan also paid attention to the opening of the Immemorial God Realm. The Grand Empyreans of the Ancient Ji and Ancient Shi both looked over.
As for Xuan Luo, he had already noticed that something was wrong as he looked at the deserted mountain Wang Lin had gone to and at the anomalies in the sky. Even the Holy Emperor, who had gone back under the palace, flew out again. She stood next to Xuan Luo and looked at the sky in shock.
"The Immemorial God Realm is opening ahead of time!"
The two of them looked at each other. They didn't continue to speak, but began to ponder.
At central area, where the three countries of the Ancient clan were connected, a figure was standing inside the top of the tower on top of Mount Gu Dao and looking at the sky. A sigh came out from the tower.
"Finally… It has opened completely… When I learned about everything that day, I knew I could not change it…" The figure shook his head and revealed a rare trace of bitterness.
"Hundreds of years later… Sea of suffering…
"All souls beneath the heavens must suffer divine tribulation… Free thyself from convictions that lead only to destruction. Walk the path of the true dao!" the blurry figure muttered
After the sky of the Immortal Astral Continent turned to night for the eighth time and returned to normal, the last vortex above the mountain disappeared. However, the eight pillars were standing above the vast sea, and no matter how much the waves smashed into them, they didn't move.
Within the circle formed by the eight pillars, the sea gradually turned to fog, but the sea outside the pillars remained liquid.
Under the collapsed mountain, the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher, who looked like the All-Seer and the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign, had a serious expression. His hands continued to form seals as he pressed down on the formation and muttered a strange sound.
His voice sounded like countless people muttering, but it was impossible to hear anything clearly. When Wang Lin heard this, his eyes shined an undetectable amount.
"Restrain the Heavenly Dao. All souls beneath the heavens must suffer divine tribulation. Free thyself from convictions that lead only to destruction. Facing the boundless unknown, all souls must resolve their questions in life and break free from the machinations of heaven. Obtain the path of life… and walk the path of the true dao!" The endless murmuring from the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher suddenly turned to this.
The moment his words echoed, the formation released endless light. Then, endless amounts of large nets appeared in this space!
This was the net that Wang Lin had broken when it prevented him from entering this space! However, as the light from the formation flashed, cracks appeared in this net.
The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher had used some method to teleport the formation from the space it was in and moved it onto the Immortal Astral Continent!
It has to be said that the formation inside the deserted mountain was merely an illusion. Wang Lin had used his full power to break the boundary to enter that space. Now the formation was using the same method to break out and become real!
What came with it was Wang Lin's slaughter avatar!
At this moment, this avatar was in the same space as Wang Lin's original body.
This scene caused Wang Lin's eyes to light up.
When the formation penetrated through the boundary and arrived at the Immortal Astral Continent, the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher let out a roar. 10-colored light erupted from the formation and shot into the sky. From a distance, it looked like it had formed the ninth pillar!!
Wang Lin's slaughter avatar retreated a few steps and fused with Wang Lin's original body as the light shot into the sky. Wang Lin appeared next to the light and looked at the light going into the sky. He clearly felt the indescribable and terrifying force coming from it.
Inside the light pillar, the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher roared, "Ninth pillar, open the Immemorial God Realm!!" The light pillar flew into the sky and flew toward the vast sea between the Ancient Clan and Celestial clan.
At the vast sea, inside the circle of the eight pillars, a ray of light flew in from the distance and the ninth pillar appeared at the center. The sky changed colors and ripples echoed across the sky. Soon, the entire sky of the Immortal Astral Continent was covered in ripples.
The entire sea churned as the ninth pillar descended toward the center of the circle formed by the other eight pillars.
The moment it descended, a scene unfolded. This shook the hearts of everyone who saw what was happening here, and they were filled with disbelief.
The endless ocean released a loud sound that echoed across the entire Immortal Astral Continent, then the vast sea slowly rose up!
It was as if a giant hand was using a powerful spell to slowly lift this vast sea!
It was impossible to describe the size of this vast sea, but lifting the entire sea was not something a Grand Empyrean could do. Not even Grand Empyrean Gu Dao could do it.
When the sea rose, a deep pit was revealed. This deep pit was filled with countless holes and was uneven. It was hidden under the sea and hadn't seen sunlight for countless years!
The sea continued to rise, and it soon surpassed the Ancient clan and celestial clan. The sea was very deep, so much so that it was difficult to calculate how large it was in a short period of time.
When the endless sea flew above the land of the Ancient clan and the celestial clan, it was still rising. When people saw this, they were in shock. They couldn't distinguish the difference between the sea and the sky.
Just at this instant, the endless sea turned a half circle, like a palm that suddenly stood up!!
The sea rose up so that its depth was now its width and its width was now its depth. This scene was simply too strange!
The nine pillars in the sky were at the center of the sea!
The vast sea was like a huge wall that cut off the celestial clan and the Ancient clan. It looked like it had no end and even gave off the sense that it was an illusion.
It was impossible to tell if it was the Immortal Astral Continent that had turned and the sea remained the same, or if the sea had moved while the Immortal Astral Continent remained stationary. This shocking scene made people feel as if the sky had been reversed.
The nine pillars at the center of the sea began to slowly rotate, picking up speed as they moved. From far away, they looked like a storm that connected the sky and the earth.
One could vaguely see the nine pillars inside the storm shine and form a giant door!
The door was closed and hadn't opened!
"Unfortunately, your slaughter is not enough… Otherwise, the door could be opened immediately, but now it will take 500 years for enough power to gather to open the door...
"So, Wang Lin, let us meet again in 500 years in the Immemorial God Realm! When we meet again, you will know the truth!" In the deserted mountain outside the Ancient Dao imperial city, the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher slowly disappeared from the flashing formation.
Wang Lin looked at the dissipating figure and suddenly said, "The Dong Lin Sect was destroyed by you."
But he didn't get a reply. A laugh echoed as the formation dissipated and the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher disappeared. This place was still in ruins.
Wang Lin silently pondered for a long time and then turned around. He flew off into the sky as a ray of light and disappeared.
Wang Lin no longer had any reason to stay at the Ancient Dao. Everything had become the past. However, there was a person here that he still considered his teacher, even though he had used his death to cut their relationship...
A teacher he couldn't acknowledge but would forever remain his teacher in his heart.

The storm at the Ancient Dao imperial palace, where Xuan Luo's disciple, Wang Lin, had stormed the palace and used his death to repay Xuan Luo's kindness, had attracted the attention of countless people. In the end, he killed the Ancient Dao Emperor, and not even the Holy Emperor Ye Wei was able to stop Wang Lin from leaving.
This news gradually spread after the members of the other two clans left. Almost everyone who was qualified knew about it.
This matter should have caused a bigger wave, but another even more shocking matter made it slowly fade. The early opening of the Immemorial God Realm set off a wave across the entire Ancient clan.
The vast sea between the Ancient clan and the celestial clan had become giant pit. The pit was endless and gave off the smell of decay. At the center of the sea was a storm that rumbled loudly.
In the swirling sea, the door formed by the nine heaven-piercing pillars loomed. This attracted the attention of a lot of powerful people, but after observing it, they all left.
Jiu Di had also personally come here, but even with his cultivation level, he could not get far into the storm, not to mention the door was not open. Judging with his cultivation level and Hai Zi's estimation, it would take 500 years for it to open.
And this time, it would be a never-before-seen complete opening!
Dao Yi, Wu Feng, and Ancient clan Grand Empyreans, including Xuan Luo, had all come. They silently looked door from outside the storm and silently left.
But at the same time, a message had come down from Mount Gu Dao to the three royal clans and their Grand Empyreans. The message was very simple. It told people to stop observing the Immemorial God Realm and that it would open in 500 years. The message also told the three clans and their respective Grand Empyreans to prepare for battle in 500 years.
Mount Gu Dao didn't pay any heed to the death of the Ancient Dao Emperor. This strange phenomenon made the part of the Ancient Dao that was advocating for Grand Empyrean Gu Dao to hunt Wang Lin down to become silent and never mention this matter again.
Similar to the Ancient clan, the celestial clan had also sent out a message to all 72 continents that the Immemorial God Realm would open in 500 years. They were to spend these 500 years training the powerful people under them. The Empyrean Exalts and Ascendant Empyreans were the most excited. The Immemorial God Realm was like the dragon's gate for them. Once they obtained a fortune, they would become a Grand Empyrean!
Because of the appearance of the Immemorial God Realm, a storm had been set off on the Immortal Astral Continent. However, due to the 500-year wait, the storm was suppressed into an undercurrent - it was like the calm before the storm.
Whether it was the Ancient clan or celestial clan members, if they believed they were qualified to enter the Immemorial God Realm, they felt a powerful pressure. They vaguely knew that the moment the Immemorial God Realm opened, a grand event would take place.
But this matter would likely result in a war between the celestial clan and the Ancient clan after being at peace for so long!!
The Ancient clan was preparing… The celestial clan was the same!
500 years, only 500 years!! For mortals, low level cultivators, and low level members of the three clans, 500 years may seem long. However, for the powerful, 500 years was just the blink of an eye.
Signs of war appeared across the Immortal Astral Continent due to the appearance of the Immemorial God Realm. In a country at the border of the Ancient Dao and Ancient Shi, it was the rainy season. The rain was not strong, but it seemed like it was going to last for a long time.
Even in the rain, the ancient cities remained bustling. The rain quietly fell on the earth and accumulated into small rivers.
The sky was dim and seemed hazy. In a mountain not far in the distance, there was a young man in white holding a paper umbrella. Beside him was a woman. She was very beautiful, and she also looked ahead with the young man.
"There are stories about you and the soul fragment inside me named Wan Er…" the woman said softly as she withdrew his gaze from the rain and looked at the man in white beside her.
It was this man who had broke into the Ancient Dao palace, killed the Ancient Dao Emperor, and walked out of there with the power of one person, yet no one had dared to stop him. It was him who had brought her here.
She didn't know what Wang Lin was going to do, but on the way here, the man's gentleness and consideration made her feel a warmth from the bottom of her heart.
On the way, the man had told her a story. It was a long story. A chance encounter, a love that began with "I'll take you to kill."
And ended with "Even if heaven wants you to die, I'll take you back!" followed by thousands of years of sorrow and reminiscence.
Wang Lin looked at the woman before him, revealing a gentle gaze, and nodded.
The woman was silent. She could feel that Wang Lin's gentle gaze was not toward her, but the soul fragment inside her. She looked at the rain in the distance and spoke softly.
"Where are we going?"
"To the place we first met." Wang Lin held Song Zhi as they faced the rain and walked into the distance.
He didn't move at full speed for this trip, because he had to take care of Song Zhi's weak body and the unstable soul fragment inside her. As a result, it had been a year since he had killed the Ancient Dao Emperor.
During this year, Wang Lin had not been hunted by Mount Gu Dao, and the Ancient Dao hadn't said anything about this matter. Wang Lin calmly brought the woman to the edge of the Ancient Dao territory.
Past this place would be the Ancient Shi.
"Where we first met… Is it Blackstone City…" The woman's black hair was blown by the wind and a few strands flew into Wang Lin's face, entangling with his white hair.
Wang Lin didn't speak and gradually disappeared with her into the rain.
A few months later, Wang Lin and Song Zhi left the Ancient Dao and arrived at the Ancient Shi. After arriving here, Song Zhi's mood was no longer down. Looking at the Ancient Shi, she found a sense of familiarity.
But she spoke less and less. Facing Wang Lin, she became more and more silent and felt complicated. During this trip, she could sometimes feel Wang Lin sending a warm energy into her body. She didn't know what it did, but she could feel the soul fragment that had merged with her show signs of separation.
"He is separating the soul of the woman named Wan Er… Perhaps when the soul completely separates, that will be the moment of my death… But to be able to see my hometown, to see Aunt Chang and Sister Dong, is also very good." Song Zhi felt bitter in her heart and silently pondered.
She was afraid but powerless.
Wang Lin saw all of this, but he didn't explain anything. They were getting closer to Blackstone City.
Several more months passed.
As the sun set on a deserted mountain, Song Zhi looked into the distance and asked the man beside her, "We will arrive at Blackstone City tomorrow?"
Just now, Wang Lin had told her that they would reach her hometown of Blackstone City tomorrow.
Wang Lin nodded.
Song Zhi silently pondered for a moment and then smiled as she looked at Wang Lin. She looked at the person who had accompanied her for more than a year, she looked at the youthful face that gave off an ancient aura.
"Wan Er is very fortunate… I hope you and her will be happy forever."
At the noon of the next day, Blackstone City could be seen from the distance. The city made of black stone appeared in her eyes and made Song Zhi feel a sense of home.
Less than 500 meters from the city, Wang Lin stopped. Song Zhi looked at Wang Lin and softly said, "Can you let me touch your face…"
Wang Lin looked at the woman, and after a long time, he gently nodded.
Song Zhi smiled and her face suddenly turned red. She caressed Wang Lin's ordinary-looking face, and after a moment, she placed her head against Wang Lin's chest. She could hear his heartbeat.
The sound of his heartbeat made her close her eyes.
Wang Lin lowered his head and stroked her hair. A fragrance came from her and drilled into Wang Lin's nose. The two of them remained like this for some time.
When the setting sun became faintly red and dim, Song Zhi raised her head from Wang Lin's chest.
"If I die, please…"
"You won't die." Wang Lin calmly looked at the woman. As he spoke, he pointed to the spot between her eyebrows. Song Zhi's vision became blurry and she fell down as if she was asleep.
Half an hour later, her eyes were filled with confusion when she woke up. She silently looked around with a frown, and after a long time, she seemed to remember something.
At this moment, the sun had mostly set and was about to disappear. Song Zhi stood up and looked at her neck to find a jade pendant that gave off warmth.
She could feel that Wan Er's soul fragment had disappeared. She was no longer Song Zhi and she hadn't suffered any injuries. However, she felt a ripple across her heart, and her eyes were emotional. After a long time, she turned and walked toward Blackstone City, which was not far away.
This was her home.

Blackstone City was the same as before she left. She didn't meet any guards on her way in, as if the city lord had received an order.
But when she arrived at her house, she saw two people standing there. One was a white-haired old woman and the other was a young girl.
"Aunt Chang… Sister Dong… I am back." Song Zhi bit her lower lip and smiled.
Outside Blackstone City, Wang Lin stood where Song Zhi had stood and looked at the city. After a while, he withdrew his divine sense. The woman was very pitiful. The fusion with Wan Er's soul had harmed her greatly. Her memory was in disarray and she could not tell who she was.
Wang Lin could have ignored her weakness and disregarded her life to separate Li Muwan's soul. However, the result would've been her life force extinguishing.
Wang Lin had cultivated for thousands of years. People thought that he was very ruthless and cold-blooded, but he was still human. He didn't want to do this, so he had spent nearly two years slowly making his way here. Along the way, he had slowly sent his cultivation into her body so that Li Muwan's soul could be separated without harming her.
"She is innocent… But it was also her who allowed me to find Wan Er's soul, so she should not be hurt for this… The jade I left with her contains my divine sense and should keep her safe.
"Ji Du, you have to properly take her of her," Wang Lin slowly said.
Ripple echoed behind Wang Lin and Prince Ji Du walked out. Herespectfully said, "As Godfather commands."
"I have informed the city lord to guard Song Zhi to not allow her to suffer any harm. Please rest assured, I have even sent guards to live here to protect her." Prince Ji Du knew how important Song Zhi was to his godfather, so he didn't dare to be sloppy in this regard.
Prince Ji Du had stayed here because according to his analysis, Wang Lin would likely come here. He had waited here ever since he returned from the Ancient Dao, and Wang Lin had finally arrived.
Wang Lin didn't show any emotions about the fact that Ji Du had waited here. On the contrary, if Ji Du hadn't done this, then it meant that he would not be useful to Wang Lin, and it would be very difficult for Ji Du to obtain the position of ancient emperor.
"Let's go." Wang Lin glanced at Blackstone City once more and then walked into the distance.
Ji Du suppressed the excitement in his heart and followed Wang Lin.
Wang Lin walked ahead and calmly said, "Prepare a place for me, I'm going into closed door cultivation!"
"Child has a secret chamber in my palace. If Godfather isn't happy with it, I can get people to immediately create another," Prince Ji Du quickly replied.
Wang Lin waved his sleeve and the world around them distorted and both of them disappeared. When they reappeared, they were inside prince Ji Du's palace.
"This secret chamber is fine. Without my permission, no one is allowed to cause any disturbance." Wang Lin's gaze fell on the palace and he chose a secret chamber to enter.
Seeing that Wang Lin was about to step into the secret chamber, Prince Ji Du hesitated. He seemed to want to say something but seemed afraid to speak.
Wang Lin was halfway into the chamber when he paused and looked at prince Ji Du. "If you want to become the Ancient Shi Emperor, then Grand Empyrean Song Tian is key. If he recognizes you as the only candidate, then everything will be simple."
Prince Ji du looked helpless and spoke with a bitter smile.
"Child doesn't know what I have done to provoke Lord Song. Usually, when I go see him, he doesn't meet with me, and even when I meet him in the palace, he is very cold.
"My younger brother, Chi Man, is very close to Lord Song. He lives on Origin Mountain and is rumored to have been accepted as Lord Song's disciple.
"Father also seems to care a lot about Chi Man. The entire Ancient Shi is leaning toward him as the next emperor," Ji Du said bitterly.
Wang Lin's expression was calm, and after hearing this, he silently pondered for a moment.
"The Grand Empyrean of each clan can appoint each generation of emperor, but it is without exception… I think you are prepared." Wang Lin looked profoundly at Prince Ji Du.
Prince Ji Du immediately felt like he had been completely seen through by Wang Lin, unable to even hide his thoughts.
Prince ji Du knelt down and respectfully said, "Child is still preparing. I'm unwilling to fail and be forced out as a king. Once I lose the chance to become the emperor, there will be no second chance.
"Whether it is intelligence or cunning, I'm better than that Chi Man. I'm unwilling to give up.
"I hope Godfather will help me. Once I become the emperor, I'll fulfill my previous agreement and won't dare to go back on it!"
Wang Lin's expression remained calm and he said, "Aside from your younger brother, there should be another opponent."
"And also senior brother… He… When he was born, there was a change in the world. It even attracted the attention of Grand Empyrean Gu Dao and a gift was sent.
"He also has a high possibility of obtaining the position of emperor!" Ji Du smiled bitterly.
Wang Lin pondered for a bit and said, "I don't care about your preparations, but I can go meet that Song Tian to see if he can appoint you as the next emperor!"
When Prince Ji Du heard this, he was ecstatic, but his expression didn't change much - he only nodded respectfully.
Looking at Ji Du before him, Wang Lin could see that formidable person. Someone who could cover up their emotions and knew their limits.
"We'll talk about this matter after I come out of closed door cultivation. If there is nothing important, don't disturb me." Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and returned to the chamber. After the door closed, the place became silent.
Prince Ji Du knelt there for a while longer before he respectfully got up and revealed unabashed joy in his eyes.
"With Godfather's power, Lord Song might really change his mind… But I need to begin my plan as well. This time, I must fight!! Once I'm successful, in 200 years I, Ji Du, will be the Ancient Shi emperor!!"
Prince Ji Du was excited and took a few deep breaths before he suppressed his excitement. He immediately sent out a command to make this a forbidden area, and anyone that dared to trespass would be immediately killed.
He had even brought over several guards to protect this place day and night.
Wang Lin walked into the secret chamber and looked around. He waved his right hand and a large amount of restrictions scattered across the room, sealing the entire chamber. With Wang Lin's current cultivation level, the restrictions he had placed made it so not even Grand Empyreans could enter without him knowing .
He sat on the ground and his eyes lit up. Aside from sending Song Zhi home, there was a deeper meaning to him coming to the Ancient Shi and helping Prince Ji Du become the Ancient Shi emperor.
"One drop of soul blood can't make Wan Er's body enter the Immemorial God Realm…" Back in the Purple Yang Sect, he had seen many records about the Immemorial God Realm from Gemini.
There were some descriptions of the Immemorial God Realm. As for when it appeared, no one knew, but from what he could gather, a powerful pressure could hide one from the operations of the world there. The souls of the people who died there would not enter reincarnation, as if even reincarnation was stopped there.
This was very similar to what the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher had said. That was why Wang Lin had allowed the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher to activate the formation and open the Immemorial God Realm.
"Wan Er's body can't survive the Immemorial God Realm, and according to the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher, although the soul blood can make up for it, one drop is obviously far from enough...
"The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher painstakingly opened the Immemorial God Realm. He used the truth as lure and Wan Er's reincarnation as bait to make me go there… No matter what, his purpose is to make me believe him, so he should be at least telling the truth regarding Wan Er.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't need to go!" Wang Lin silently pondered. The biggest reason he was going to help Ji Du was that he needed more soul blood. In order to get more, he had to go the Ancestral Temple to go through the last trial!
This is the only way to have a chance to obtain the approval of the Ancient Ancestor again and perhaps obtain more soul blood!
"I can no longer go back to the Ancient Dao, and the right to open the Ancestral Temple is not in the hands of the Grand Empyreans. This right belongs to the current emperor.
"Even if Lou Chen is recognized as the Ancient Dao Emperor… I still don't want to go back to the Ancient Dao…" Wang Lin sighed and revealed a complicated expression.
"As for the Ancient Ji, I haven't had much contact with them. The Ancient Shi is much more suitable for me, especially since although Ji Du is ambitious, he doesn't dare to go against my intentions.
"500 years… The last 500 years!" Wang Lin took a deep breath and waved his hand. A crystal clear coffin appeared before him.
Li Muwan seemed to be sleeping inside the coffin. Wang Lin looked at Li Muwan and his expression became gentle. His left hand hit his forehead and a ray of silver light shined.
There was a blurry shadow inside the silver light. This shadow was Li Muwan's soul fragment.
"Wan Er, from now on, your soul will be complete. I'll awaken you… not just for decades, but for a lifetime…" Wang Lin raised his finger and the ray of light shot toward Li Muwan. Her eyelashes suddenly quivered as if she was going to awaken, but they soon calmed down.
However, two streams of crystal clear tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.

Looking at Li Muwan inside the coffin, he looked at her trembling eyelashes and her crystal clear tears. Wang Lin gently wiped her tears away. The teardrops were still hanging on his finger.
He put the tears beside his mouth and licked them. It was very bitter, but afterward, there was a hint of dry sweetness.
It was an unspeakable feeling. Wang Lin looked at Li Muwan for a long long time. He didn't care about the passage of time, but continued to look at Li Muwan's face...
This lasted for one day, until Wang Lin's heart gradually calmed down. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, they were filled with determination and decisiveness.
Wang Lin bent down and his face touched Li Muwan's pale lips. He muttered into Li Muwan's ear words that only he could hear.
A moment later, Wang Lin waved his sleeve and Li Muwan's coffin disappeared without a trace. Inside the secret chamber, only wang Lin alone remained.
Not far away, there was an oil lamp. This oil lamp was very mysterious. Even without external force, it would burn for thousands of years. It was now flickering in the dark chamber.
This made Wang Lin's shadow also flicker.
Wang Lin's left hand reached at the void and a ray of golden light appeared. The Celestial Emperor's soul appeared in his hand. The soul's eyes were closed, and although it was covered in golden light, it emitted a powerful, grey color of decay.
Looking at the soul, Wang Lin hesitated a bit, but he clenched his teeth and spat out a mouthful of green fire. This green fire was his soul fire, and it began burning the Celestial Emperor's soul.
"Whether this soul is useful to me or not will depend on whether I can expel the ancestral curse. This process will be very slow…"
Wang Lin looked at the Celestial Emperor's soul surrounded by his soul fire. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes. His breathing was faint and he remained motionless.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three years went by.
During these three years, no one had come to disturb Wang Lin. He hadn't moved at all inside the secret chamber. In his body, the ancient power and celestial cultivation moved smoothly. However, the fusion of ancient and celestial power he had obtained at Mount Gu Dao hadn't completed a cycle at all, it had only moved a short distance.
The Celestial Emperor's soul that was being refined by the soul fire and hadn't changed much. However, the decay inside had slowed down a lot.
Wang Lin hadn't thought about anything going on outside. His secret chamber was being guarded by many people, and no one was allowed to enter.
During these three years, Prince Ji Du didn't leave and arranged matters in the place. Sometimes people would come from the outside and have secret talks with him. Then they would be filled with excitement and quickly leave.
During the three years Prince Ji Du was like the wind and rain. No matter how important things were, he would personally stand outside Wang Lin's secret chamber with reverence on his face for half an hour before respectfully leaving.
On this day, after three years, Wang Lin opened his eyes for the first time. The moment his eyes opened, two rays of crystal clear light shined.
Overlapping shadows appeared on his body and his five-element true body walked out and sat down opposite of him.
The five elements in the five-element true body had all formed their essence true bodies and fused into one. The complete five-element true body was the most developed out of his essences.
This was almost the limit, unless he took one more step for his five-element true body to turn into true soul!!
After the five-element true body sat down, he closed his eyes and sat down. He cultivated together with Wang Lin's original body and another three years passed.
This was the sixth year since Wang Lin entered closed door cultivation. Another shadow overlapped with his body and killing intent spread out. Wang Lin's slaughter thunder essence true body walked out. His black hair fluttered as he coldly walked toward another corner and sat down.
At this moment, the scene inside the secret chamber was very strange. Three figures that all looked like Wang Lin sat in a triangle and were all cultivating.
As for the Celestial Emperor's soul, after six years of burning, the decay inside had slowed down. Perhaps one day, when the decay was completely removed, Wang Lin would be able to slowly refine it.
Time left no trace and another three years passed. On the ninth year of Wang Lin's closed door cultivation, another shadow overlapped with his body. This mass was not able to condense into a figure. After it appeared, this fuzzy mass of light floated out from Wang Lin's body and stopped ten feet behind him.
Wang Lin opened his eyes and looked at his three essence true bodies. During these nine years of time, Wang Lin had pushed his ancient power to its peak, and at the same time, his three essence true bodies had reached their respective peaks.
Right now, he was confident in battling a peak Grand Empyrean Dao Yi and not lose out. He even felt like he should be able to suppress Dao Yi!
"Among the Grand Empyreans, the celestial clan's Dao Yi is the weakest. With my current strength, although I'm no match for Jiu Di, I should be on par with Wu Feng… Even in the Ancient clan, I should be able to battle against Song Tian, who is similar in power to Teacher Xuan Luo, but the victor would be uncertain.
"This is still before I use my strongest avatar." Wang Lin remained calm as he pondered. A moment later, he looked at the Celestial Emperor's soul being refined by his soul fire.
"With my soul fire to burn it, there is indeed some effect, but it is slow. I wonder when it will be complete." Wang Lin looked at the Celestial Emperor's soul for a long time before withdrawing his gaze.
"I temporarily don't need to worry about the five-element true body. Back at the Ancient Dao imperial city, it reached completion and allowed me to reach peak Void Tribulant. This means my speculation was correct!
"If I want to increase my cultivation level, the next step is the slaughter thunder essence true body…" Wang Lin looked at his slaughter thunder essence true body and his eyes revealed a strange light.
"As for the things needed to complete this true body, Teacher… He has taken me to many places across the Ancient clan and obtained enough items…" Wang Lin sighed and withdrew his gaze. His gaze seem turned toward the direction of the Ancient Dao. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate through the room, to the back mountain of the Ancient Dao Temple, to the old man that was no longer young.
After a long time, Wang Lin withdrew his gaze. He had made a decision to not leave closed door cultivation until his cultivation level increased. He had to raise his cultivation level to not only overcome Grand Empyrean Song Tian, but also to not have to fear Grand Empyrean Gu Dao.
Only then would he be confident in making Grand Empyrean Song Tian choose Ji Du and get him into the ancestral temple.
Most importantly, he needed the power to enter the Immemorial God Realm to push away all the fog in his way and find the secret goal of the Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher.
"Grand Empyrean Gu Dao's attitude is very strange… He didn't come find me due to the matter at the Ancient Dao, but I still have to rely on my own strength to resolve all my problems. I can't allow my life to be decided by the will of another." Wang Lin looked at his slaughter thunder essence true body and his eyes lit up.
His cultivation path was completely different from that of others. It was a path he had figured out on his own, and only he could point himself to where to go next. Only by trying could he see how it would go.
"This slaughter thunder essence true body is made of special essences. The thunder essence has formed a true body, but the rest are only at completion.
"Slaughter, absolute end, absolute beginning, restriction…" Wang Lin murmured as he pointed at the slaughter thunder essence true body. The true body trembled and slowly split before Wang Lin.
The true body was surrounded by thunder and four separate clouds of fog appeared. When one of them appeared, the entire room became cold and a grazed killing intent filled the area.
This was the slaughter essence.
There was another cloud of fog that flashed countless strange symbols. As the fog moved, more and more symbols appeared. This was the restriction essence.
As for the remaining two clouds of fog, one gave off light and the other was completely dark. They were respectively absolute beginning and absolute end.
"Only when all four essences form their essence true bodies and fuse into a complete slaughter thunder essence true body can my cultivation level break past peak Void Tribulant!!
"This perhaps may be Empyrean Exalt or Ascendant Empyrean, but it is possible it could be neither and be an unknown realm… Perhaps it might even be Grand Empyrean!" Wang Lin's eyes were filled with expectation. From his understanding, the Empyrean Exalts and Ascendant Empyreans were just people at the peak of Void Tribulant. However, the step to reach Grand Empyrean was too difficult, so they were separated into more ranks.
In fact, both Empyrean Exalts and Ascendant Empyreans, fundamentally speaking, were all peak Void Tribulant cultivators.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. After pondering a bit, he raised his right hand and waved at the roof of the secret chamber. A strange scene occurred as the ceiling turned into the sky.
There was blue sky, white clouds, and clear sky for thousands of kilometers, but there was no sun.
Wang Lin didn't hesitate to grab the absolute beginning essence and throw it into the sky-like ceiling. It shined brightly like the sun!
Wang Lin looked up at the ceiling that had turned into the sky, and under his gaze, the sky seemed to change. Soon, a whole day passed and the absolute beginning, which had turned into the sun, gradually set.

After the sun disappeared and the sky became dark, Wang Lin grabbed the absolute end essence. The essence flew into the dark sky and disappeared.
Staring at the sky that had appeared on the ceiling, Wang Lin's eyes lit up. His hands formed seals and he muttered softly.
"Flowing Time…" His self-created spell that controlled the flow of time and could reverse thousands of years in an instant. This spell had its uses outside of battle. Right now, Wang Lin was using it to strengthen his essences.
The operations of the heavens and earth were very difficult for cultivators to control. Wang Lin was trying to create his own sky and giving it night and day, which was very difficult.
At this moment, if someone else saw this, they would certainly be shocked.
"The spells the Dao Wang clan used to create caves and the Grand Empyreans' power to create things from the void… Adding my Flowing Time spell, I can recreate the movement of the world...
"And I'm only refining one wall of this chamber, so it's still something I can control." Wang Lin looked at the ceiling and saw that day and night had altered more than a dozen times in a short period of time.
"I hope I can use this method to deepen my comprehension of the absolute beginning and absolute end essences." Wang Lin hit his forehead and a part of his origin soul flew into the ceiling to comprehend the alternating day and night.
This wisp of origin soul fused into the ceiling and then Wang Lin no longer paid any heed to it. Comprehension couldn't be done in a short period of time. When he withdraws that wisp of origin soul in the future, he will obtain all the comprehension gained over the years.
"Restriction essence…" Wang Lin looked at the strange fog where countless symbols were flickering. This was the restriction essence, and it had accompanied him from back in the Land of the Ancient God.
After silently pondering for a while, Wang Lin remembered that his teacher, Xuan Luo, had taken him to several places. He had obtained a large amount of restrictions, and they would be of great use to strengthen his restriction essence.
He let out a sigh and pointed at this five-element true body. The five-element true body looked at Wang Lin and his eyes lit up. Then the five-element true body split into five rays of light and flew in to the restriction essence. It was going to replace Wang Lin in integrating the large amount of restrictions into the restriction essence.
In the end, Wang Lin looked at the slaughter thunder essence. The slaughter essence was the most important and most elusive essence he had!!
"Slaughter… When he first appeared, he called himself 'Slaughter.' The Ancient Dao Imperial Teacher also knows this avatar…" Wang Lin's expression was complicated. He had his own speculations, only they were buried deep inside his heart.
"Slaughter is an immortal body. It represents destruction and therefore can't be erased. This slaughter essence is only at completion, so it can't form an essence true body yet. I don't know if what I'm doing is right… Or wrong." Wang Lin hesitated.
"I have been suppressing this slaughter essence. It was born when I fused it with thunder, then I used restriction to balance it out. Then it was fused with absolute end, making it stronger, so I used absolute beginning to balance it out once more.
"As a result, if they all reach essence true bodies, everything should reach a balance. Besides, I have other methods!" Wang Lin muttered to himself before revealing a decisive gaze. At his moment, he could not hesitate. If he wanted to increase his cultivation level, he would have to do this.
Staring at the slaughter essence and the thunder essence true body, Wang Lin made up his mind. The thunder essence true body opened his eyes and inhaled the slaughter essence. The thunder around his body suddenly changed to black.
Slaughter thunder descended once more!
Looking at this strange essence true body, Wang Lin's eyes shined brightly. His hands formed a seal and he pointed at this essence true body. The slaughter thunder essence true body flew toward Wang Lin and overlapped with him.
Wang Lin was using his own body's countless years of slaughter to nourish this slaughter essence. During this process, there was still an overlapping shadow on Wang Lin, as if it was very difficult to fuse.
But Wang Lin was not surprised; it was as if he had already anticipated this. His hands continued to form seals and then he pointed at his own body. Every time he pointed, the overlapping shadow would disappear a bit. As he continued, sweat appeared on his forehead and his expression was very heavy.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, when he pointed for the last time, his slaughter thunder essence had fully integrated with his body without any overlapping shadows. Then he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. He waved his right hand and the blood turned into runes that all landed on Wang Lin's body.
"Blood refine!!" Wang Lin roared before he closed his eyes and remained motionless.
While he was strengthening the slaughter essence in order to prevent future accidents, he was going to refine Slaughter again!
This was not the first time he was going to refine this slaughter thunder - the first time was when he accidentally created it.
Time passed. Time left no trace, and without feeling anything, the years passed one by one.
When the Immemorial God Realm appeared, the undercurrent across the Immortal Astral Continent became more silent. However, this simply created a pressure that shrouded the entire Immortal Astral Continent.
The sects of the various celestial clans all became silent and there was a rare moment of peace. All of them were gathering their power for when the Immemorial God Realm opened.
Any sect with power felt that after this period of suppression, a long war that would last for hundreds of years between the celestial clan and the Ancient clan would begin!!
During this battle, even Grand Empyreans may fall. As for the Ascendant Empyreans and Empyrean Exalts of the various sects, some would disappear and some would become famous.
In the Ancient clan, it was the same. The three royal families followed the order of Grand Empyrean Gu Dao and prepared for war. They could all feel the pressure, and their respective Grand Empyreans had gone into closed door cultivation.
In the Ancient Dao, Luo Chen had become the new emperor. However, as the new emperor, he was not familiar with the entire Ancient Dao. He would need time to adapt before he could truly possess everything.
During this process, Holy Emperor Ye Wei temporarily replaced the current emperor in dealing with the Ancient Dao. As for Xuan Luo, after appointing Luo Chen as the emperor, he had gone into closed door cultivation.
He was close to his reincarnation and had to face the opening of the Immemorial God Realm. Now was not the best time to reincarnate. He had to suppress it and wait for everything to calm down before reincarnating.
The Ancient Shi was facing a similar problem. The old emperor was getting old, and according to the ancient agreement, unless Grand Empyrean Gu Dao allowed it, he would have to abdicate his position to his descendents.
Now there were still 100 years or so before he would have to abdicate his position. He remained silent as he had no right to choose, so all the princes had set their sights on Grand Empyrean Song Tian.
Ji Du had gone to meet Grand Empyrean Song Tian many times but was stopped outside the Origin Mountain every time. The time was approaching, and once Grand Empyrean Song Tian made his decision, it would be too late.
At this moment, there were three people sitting inside Prince Ji Du's palace. One of them was Ji Du. He was frowning and looking very anxious.
There was a young woman beside him. She occasionally looked at Ji Du with anxiety in her eyes as well.
"Brother, Senior Wang Lin has been in closed door cultivation for 100 years… The date of Father's abdication is getting closer and closer. According to customs, a new emperor will be chosen 100 years before the abdication.
"In terms of time, it should be decided in these several years. If you don't asked Senior Wang Lin for help, I'm afraid it will be too late…" The young woman sighed. She was the young woman who was beside Ji Du back then and then later married one of the geniuses of the Ancient Shi. He was considered the strongest member of the new generation and was a close ally of Ji Du. He said beside the young woman and coldly looked at all of this.
"Rumor has it that this senior is supposed to be the 10th sun, but after he left the Ancient Dao, he immediately went into closed door cultivation. He seems to be injured… Can he really make Lord Song change his mind?" The person who spoke was the young man in purple, the woman's husband.
"Royal Brother!" The woman became even more anxious.
Prince Ji Du struggled for a long time before he let out a sigh and deceively said, "There's no need to talk about this! Godfather said to not disturb him…"
"This…" The young woman bit her lower lip. After seeing Ji Du's decisive gaze, she swallowed her words.
Only the young man in the purple robe revealed a sneer. Apparently, only he didn't think that Wang Lin was as terrifying as the rumors claimed.
"Even if Godfather doesn't come out, I have prepared for 100 years and I can still try! If Chi Man… And my royal older brother were to die, would Lord Song still pick a dead man as the next emperor?" There was a flash of coldness in Ji Du's eyes.
After he spoke, the entire hall became cold and the young woman's heart trembled as if she wanted to say something, but she could only smile bitterly. This royal brother of hers had changed too much in the past 100 years, and this made her feel estranged.
The hall was completely silent; even the young man in purple had become silent after hearing Ji Du's words. He raised his head to speak, but just at this moment, a powerful pressure descended.
When the pressure appeared, the world changed colors and a shocking change occurred.
An indescribable aura came out of Wang Lin's chamber and shot into the sky.
The originally clear sky seemed to collapse as large amounts of fragments scattered in all directions.
"A heavenly sign!!"
"It came from Godfather's closed door cultivation chamber. Godfather has come out of closed door cultivation!" Ji Du got up and was excited.

Fog appeared in the sky and churned. It looked like a mushroom. Rumbles echoed as it spread out, covering the sky and causing the earth to darken.
A powerful pressure spread out from the sky and shrouded the ground below. The earth began to tremble. If the earth had a soul, it would be trembling in fear due to the pressure.
Aside from Prince Ji Du and company, there were many guards in the palace. Their cultivations were not weak and some of them had become Lords with 27 stars.
However, at this moment, as the pressure descended, the nearly 1,000 guards all turned pale and their bodies trembled. Popping sounds came from their bodies as if they could not bear the pressure.
"What did he cultivate during the last 100 years to produce such pressure?" The expression of the purple-robed young man changed. Even with his cultivation level, he almost felt like he could not withstand it.
As for the young woman, she could not stand up at all. She sat on the chair and sweat covered her forehead.
Prince Ji Du looked excited. He hadn't dared to disturb Wang Lin during the past 100 years, even when he faced a life or death crisis. He had gritted his teeth and endured through it, and now he could feel his Godfather's, Wang Lin's, aura from this pressure.
The fog in the sky continued to churn and a strange shadow appeared inside. The shadow was a red sun that gave off a burst of light. As the light spread, the fog churned and a thunderous rumble echoed, then the fog spread endlessly.
Prince Ji Du's palace was shrouded in this fog. The countless people inside the palace found it difficult to resist the pressure, so they remained frozen, unable to move at all.
In particular, the nearly 1,000 guards in the palace, who were too close to this pressure, all trembled, and fear filled their hearts.
Inside the palace, the purple-robed young man was soaked in sweat and most of his robe was soaked, his eyes filled with horror. He had seen Grand Empyrean Song Tian, and not even before Song Tian did he feel this kind of fear.
It was as if his life was under the control of this pressure.
The rumors about this person from 100 years ago appeared in the mind of the purple-robed youth. The disrespect he had in his heart completely disappeared. A person who could give off this kind of pressure could compare to Grand Empyrean Song Tian!
As the pressure and fog enveloped the country, far away, in the Ancient Shi imperial city, there was a mountain with a large temple on top.
This mountain was called Origin Mountain, and the peak of the mountain was shaped like a horn, making it seem as if the mountain was going to tear the heavens apart.
The great temple was built at the end of the horn. This was the Ancient Shi Temple. It was one of the holy lands of the Ancient Shi, second only to the ancestral temple, and where the people of the Ancient Shi were taught.
Normally, a large amount of people would come to visit, but today, the temple was emitting a powerful pressure, preventing anyone from entering.
There was a middle-aged man sitting at the other end of the horn. He was wearing a green robe and his hair extended to his waist. He was looking into the distance and his expression was slightly grim.
Behind him, there was another person. He was a rough-looking young man with a hint of ferociousness hidden inside. However, that ferociousness was gone and was replaced with shock as he looked into the distance.
With his cultivation level, he normally would not have noticed the pressure from the distance. However, while standing behind the middle-aged man, he felt it through a strange method.
"Teacher… This… This is…" The young man gasped. He saw that his teacher's expression was gloomy, and after he subconsciously spoke, he immediately swallowed his words.
"Aside from Wang Lin, who charged into the Ancient Dao palace, killed the Ancient Dao Emperor, came to my Ancient shi, and chose to serve your brother, who else can it be!?" There was a flash of coldness in the middle-aged man's eyes.
After hearing the name "Wang Lin," the rough-looking youth gasped, and after pondering a bit, he suddenly spoke.
"Teacher still hasn't chosen disciple as the emperor because of this person?"
The middle-aged man coldly snorted.
"Your teacher has seen this Wang Lin once before, when Xuan Luo brought him here. His cultivation is not weak and his combat power is extraordinary, but he is still not worthy of my attention!
"The reason he could break into the Ancient Dao palace and retreat is because Xuan Luo didn't act! He killed the Ancient Dao Emperor, but Grand Empyrean Gu Dao didn't say a word. This matter is most puzzling and is the reason your teacher hasn't chosen a future emperor in a hurry!
"The person who your teacher cares about is not that person, but Grand Empyrean Gu Dao! As for that person, he is not worthy of my consideration!" The middle-aged man looked into the distance and faintly felt the pressure. He was the Ancient Shi's Grand Empyrean Song Tian, and the youth behind him was the prince, Chi Man.
The youth let out a sigh of relief and then asked, after hesitating a bit.
"Teacher, Wang Lin coming out of closed door cultivation after 100 years means that his cultivation level has increased, or else he wouldn't be able to release such pressure."
The middle-aged man didn't speak, but his pupils shrank an undetectable amount. He pondered for a while longer before he spoke.
"He is fusing his essence true bodies! His essence true bodies are extraordinary and he wants to fully integrate them, but it will be very difficult! However, he has decided to stay in the Ancient Shi and fuse his essence true bodies without notifying me first. He is not giving me any face and he is getting involved in the competition for the Ancient Shi emperor. I'll have to teach him a lesson." Although the middle-aged man was worried about Grand Empyrean Gu Dao, he was still a Grand Empyrean. He was also the Ancient Shi guardian and had the right to deal with anything he believed to be a threat to the Ancient Shi.
There was a flash of coldness in his eyes and the middle-aged raised his right hand. He formed a seal and pointed toward the direction of the pressure Wang Lin was releasing.
"Release the seal!" As he muttered this, there was a flash of ghostly light on his right hand.
At the same time, at the center of the Ancient clan, at Mount Gu Dao, a figure covered in fog was sitting at the top of the tower. The figure opened his eyes and looked toward the direction of the Ancient Shi.
After a long time, the figure muttered to himself, "Essence true body fusion?" His words were calm and didn't show any hint of emotion.
As the fog shrouded Prince Ji Du's palace, a sun appeared in the sky, and the world soon changed colors and turned into night!
In a short period of time, the sky alternated between night and day. After nine times, lines appeared inside the fog and formed symbols. Each of them contained the power of the restriction essence.
Several hours slowly passed. During these several hours, more and more restrictions appeared and the alternation of night and day become even more frequent, but there was no sign of fusion.
There were even signs of instability. As the night and day alternated, the sky began to weaken, and even the large amount of restrictions showed signs of disappearing.
Just at this moment, a shocking howl echoed as five rays of light flew out of the palace. It was impossible to see what was inside the five lights, but they gathered into one in the sky to form a shadow.
The shadow looked exactly like Wang Lin!
However, it was not Wang Lin's original body, but his five-element true body. It floated there like an illusion and was only the size of an ordinary person. However, he inhaled and the power of the world rushed toward him like crazy. Then the five-element true body expanded until it was 1,000 feet tall!
This power of the world was the power of the five elements of the world!
The 1,000 foot true body inhaled once more. The earth trembled, heavenly fire appeared, a rainy haze followed, the grass withered, and even the heavenly metal moved. The power of the five elements were inhaled into his mouth.
Thunderous rumbles echoed and the 1,000 feet shadow expanded once more into a 10,000 foot giant!
The 10,000 foot five-element true body spread out his arms. At the same time, the alternating of day and night became smooth and the restrictions no longer showed signs of dissipating.
However, just as restriction, absolute beginning, and absolute end showed signs of stabilizing, a brutal roar came from the depths of the earth.
This howl contained madness and shocking power. It caused the hearts of all the Ancient Shi members to tremble and panic.
The moment the roar echoed, Prince Ji Du inside the palace trembled and coughed out a mouthful of blood. Shock appeared in his eyes.
"It's Luo Hou!"
The young man in purple turned pale. When he heard about Luo Hou, he thought about a rumor about Prince Ji Du. It was rumored that when this prince was born, there was a heavenly sign, only it was a vicious sign. It was concealed by the royal family and dispelled by the imperial teacher.
Not many people knew about it, but during the last 100 years, for some unknown reason, the rumor began to spread again in the Ancient Shi.
Rumor had it that the reason Prince Ji Du had built his palace in the Luo Hou country was that the fierce beast sealed under this country was the Luo Hou!
As for why Ji Du was here, he played a role in suppressing the Luo Hou and could also nourish himself on the Luo Huo's aura. This was something arranged by the imperial teacher before he died.
The roar became even more intense. Shortly after, a giant shadow appeared in the distance. It was a round meatball that only had a huge eye. It revealed ferociousness and madness and its body was illusory. At this moment, it stared at Wang Lin's five-element true body above the palace. There was a flash of greed on its eyes.
This round meatball was the Luo Hou?

The round meatball's body was illusory, and after it appeared, it was surrounded by black gas. It let out a howl and flew toward Wang Lin's five-element true body.
As it approached, its howl became even more sharp.
Just as it closed in, Wang Lin was still sitting inside the secret chamber and his right hand was still raised. In his right hand sat a small person who was also cultivating.
Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes. After 100 years of time, Wang Lin was not the same as before. His expression was calm, and the moment he opened his eyes, the little person in his right palm also opened its eyes. Its eyes were filled with intelligence and there was a flash of divination in them.
In Wang Lin's palm, the little person knelt down and kowtowed toward him. After nine kowtows, Wang Lin closed his right palm and the little person disappeared without a trace.
"The Soul Eye Dao is indeed mysterious!" Wang Lin muttered as he looked up and revealed a sneer.
"20 years ago, I used this spell to divinate a chance to completely fuse my slaughter thunder essence true body. After countless tries, I found that I needed the soul of a ferocious beast!
However, this soul will give me a chance to completely fuse this slaughter thunder essence true body! I divinated that on the day that I try to fuse my essence true bodies, someone will personally deliver it… This soul indeed came!" Wang Lin raised his hand and pointed at the sky.
With this, the entire sky changed drastically. The alternation of day and night suddenly stopped and even the countless restrictions stopped flickering.
Even the five-element true body stopped.
The Luo Huo that had been roaring and had rushed over suddenly paused and even stopped roaring. It seemed to be frozen in place, and while its eye was still ferocious, even this ferociousness seemed to be frozen.
Stop spell!!
When used with Wang Lin's current cultivation level, its power was shocking. When the Luo Huo was stopped, the alternation of day and night returned to normal, the restriction essence true body recovered, and the five-element true body recovered.
Immediately after, the countless restrictions rushed into the stopped Luo Huo and entered its illusory body. Endless light flashed, and after absorbing all the restrictions, it shrank a bit.
The ferociousness dissipated and was replaced by an illusory figure. This figure was blurry, but it soon condensed into Wang Lin!
This figure that looked exactly like Wang Lin revealed a smile and walked out of the eye. As it stood there, it released a powerful restriction essence aura.
This was the restriction essence true body Wang Lin had formed by borrowing the power of this fierce beast!
At the same time ,the rising sun shot out from the alternating sky and entered the illusory body of the Luo Huo. The Luo Huo's body shrank once more and another human-shaped shadow appeared.
The shadow shined brightly like the sun and smiled as it formed. It walked out from the eye and stood next to the restriction essence.
This body was the absolute beginning true body Wang Lin had condensed over the last 100 years by using his Flowing Time spell combined with the Dao Wang clan's ability to create their own world. The purpose of this was to recreate countless cycles of day and night!!
Shortly after, the absolute end essence, which represented the dark night, flew out into the eye. The body of the Luo Huo shrank to only half its original size when the third essence true body walked out!
Absolute end essence true body!!
Over the past 100 years, Wang Lin had used Flowing Time and the Dao Wang clan's spell to strengthen his absolute beginning and absolute end essences to the point of forming an essence true body. However, he could not fully integrate these special essences, so he had divinated and decided to borrow the power of the Luo Huo to attempt it.
The five true essence bodies all absorbed the soul of the fierce beast. They were borrowing the mutual attraction of the beast's soul to try to integrate together!
Inside the secret chamber, after Wang Lin's restriction, absolute beginning, and absolute end essence true bodies had appeared, a strange lightning spread across his body. Another overlapping shadow appeared as his slaughter thunder essence true body flew up into the sky from the secret chamber.
When the slaughter thunder essence true body flew into the sky, the black thunder spread out, creating a thunderous rumble.
"After 100 years of nourishment and a second refining, this slaughter thunder and I have become inseparable. There are no more signs of it defecting. The slaughter essence has also reached the point of forming an essence true body!
"Whether all five true bodies can fuse into one will depend on this!" Wang Lin's expression was serious as his hands formed seals and his powerful divine sense shrouded the world.
The slaughter thunder body rushed toward the sealed Luo Huo and entered its body. The Luo Huo's body trembled violently and shrank rapidly until it disappeared, leaving behind only the huge eye.
The eye was dim, and from a distance, it looked like an egg!
After one incense stick of time, countless cracks appeared on it until it exploded. Then wo figures walked out!
One was the thunder essence true body, which had formed an essence true body a long time ago. The other had a head of black a hair - it was the cold and indifferent slaughter essence true body!
After this essence true body appeared, it calmly looked at the sky and a shocking aura spread out. This was a destructive aura that represented destruction and slaughter!
"I am Slaughter…" the black-haired Wang Lin muttered.
He lowered his head and his gaze swept past everyone. When the guards on the ground were swept by the gaze, they all let out miserable screams. This was not because of pain or death, but from fear!!
A sense of fear that came from the soul!!
Inside the hall, the purple-robed young man trembled and his mind was filled with fear. Even Prince Ji Du was trembling, filled with fear.
"I am called Slaughter!!" The black-haired Wang Lin looked up and roared at the sky, but at this moment, a cold snort came from the palace.
When the cold snort entered the ears of the black-haired Wang Lin, his roar stopped. His face revealed pain and madness. Taking advantage of this moment, the thunder essence true body flew toward the black-haired Wang Lin and fused with him. This caused the black thunder in the area to lash out.
Shortly after, the restriction essence true body's eyes shined and his body turned into countless restrictions. He created a restriction storm and fused with the black-haired Wang Lin's body.
At the same time, the absolute beginning and absolute end essence true bodies both silently walked out. They turned into a two rays of light, black and white, and fused with the black-haired Wang Lin.
"I am called Slaughter!!!" The black-haired Wang Lin's grunts turned into a roar. Four overlapping shadows appeared, seeming as if he was going to force the true bodies out of him.
"No one can control me, I am slaughter!" As he roared, the overlapping shadows in his body were pushed out several inches. This looked very mysterious!
A second cold snort came out. The black-haired Wang Lin trembled, and at the same time, the five-element true body appeared in the sky. The five-element true body shrank and waved his hand. A huge palm of five-element energy pressed down on the black-haired Wang Lin.
"I am Slaughter!" The black-haired Wang Lin looked up and released a destructive force. Just as he was about to struggle, a powerful pressure appeared around him. This pressure contained a powerful divine sense that pressed down on him.
Also at this moment, the shadow of a Luo Huo appeared behind the black-haired Wang Lin. This Luo Huo's shadow was in pieces, but countless black threads appeared and the pieces began to fuse. The overlapping shadows around the black-haired Wang Lin no longer spread out, but fused together.
"Because you are my second true body, you are Slaughter! From now on, you will replace me in hunting down my enemies! You will spread my destructive intent and kill those that seek to harm me!
"Your name is Slaughter and you dao name is Punishment!"
A powerful voice echoed in the world and the Luo Huo shadow behind the black-haired Wang Lin completely fused. The other four overlapping shadows also fully integrated and are now one!
The pressure dissipated and the world returned to normal. The black-haired Wang Lin was still black-haired. He stood there and slowly raised his head.
"I'm Punishment Slaughter!" This voice was calm and extremely cold. There was no emotion within, only indifference to the extreme. He represented Wang Lin's slaughter and destruction, which would make the heavens and earth tremble. It would make Wang Lin's enemies know fear.
As he raised his head, his cold gaze looked into the distance and seemed to be able to cross endless distances. His gaze directly fell on tip of the horn of Origin Mountain, on the shocked Song Tian!
"Not good!" Song Tian's body trembled and he gasped. He subconsciously stood up and his expression changed. He grabbed Chi Man and flew into the air before the horn he was sitting on collapsed.
