Chapter 1166 - The Lie of Heaven

No cultivator of the Origin Sect noticed what had happened in the southern courtyard. The southern courtyard was a forbidden land, so no disciple would dare to enter. Even Lu Yanfei and company would only come if called, and they wouldn't dare to break in.

After instantly killing a rank 8 beast and telling the rank 6 sect cultivators to scram, Wang Lin was like an ancestor to the Origin Sect disciples. They were filled with respect and awe toward him.

Lu Yuncong's expression was extremely ugly as he stared at Wang Lin. He was in a dilemma. Before the eyes of this man in white, he couldn't step forward or backward. If he stepped forward, he felt like the world would collapse, but if he stepped backward, his dao would collapse. It was as if his dao was mere child's play before this man in white.

Sweat came out from his forehead. Lu Yuncong had never seen a person who had a dao like this. Everything seemed like an illusion, but if the other party wished, everything would be real.

He even had a feeling that this world would change along with this person's will.

"If he sits there, he is dao!" A strange thought appeared in Lu Yuncong's mind.

Li Qianmei's words came at this moment. Her voice was soft and beautiful; there was even a sense of elegance in it that made people calm down. When Wang Lin's gaze moved from Li Yuncong to Li Qianmei, Lu Yuncong let out a breath of relief. He retreated several steps and his expression turned gloomy.

Wang Lin calmly looked at Li Qianmei. This woman's cultivation was unfathomable. Although she was hiding her cultivation level, Wang Lin could see that she was at the Nirvana Shatterer stage.

"Who is this fellow cultivator?" Wang Lin's eyes were calm, but his mind began to think.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing a few strands of Li Qianmei's hair to flutter before her. She pulled those strands of hair behind her ear as she looked at Wang Lin and softly said,

"Heaven Breaking Sect, Li Qianmei!"

Wang Lin's mind moved, but his expression didn't change and he slowly said, "Why did Fellow Cultivator Li come here?"

Li Qianmei chuckled as she blinked and smiled. "I came to ask Elder Brother three questions to help ease Qianmei's doubts."

"Why should I resolve your doubts?" Wang Lin's words were calm.

Li Qianmei's expression was still calm. After pondering a bit, she said, "Qianmei can play a song on my flute for you."

Wang Lin frowned and calmly said, "I don't need it!"

Li Qianmei smiled and softly said, "Qianmei can resolve your issue with the Purple Dao Sect."

"I don't need it!"

Li Qianmeh was distressed as she looked at Wang Lin and softly said, "Dao Brother seems to misunderstand. Qianmei just met Brother Lu and just happened to come together. I didn't come here to fight Dao Brother. Qianmei won't participate in the matter between you and the Purple Dao Sect. I just want to ask three questions that I have had for a long time. I have no other intent." Li Qianmei rarely explained things in such detail. She naturally saw that Wang Lin thought that she had come with Lu Yuncong, so she explained everything.

After looking at Li Qianmei for a bit, Wang Lin frowned and asked "What kind of doubt?"

"It is related to dao." Li Qianmei smiled.

Wang Lin slowly said, "One doubt for one item."

When Lu Yuncong heard this, he revealed a wry smile. He didn't think of asking for an item. He would've instead listened to her music for fun and with the intent of getting on good terms with her.

Li Qianmei was also startled. She chuckled and nodded. "If Dao Brother can solve Qianmei's issue, that is possible."

Wang Lin lowered his head to look at the rank 8 pill in his hand and calmly said, "Ask!"

"Dao Brother, Qianmei's first question: what is heaven?" Li Qianmei's eyes lit up. The most satisfactory answer she had heard was Lu Yuncong saying that the heavens were a cage. At this moment, she really wanted to know how this ordinary-looking man in white would answer.

Not only did she have expectations, even Lu Yuncong became serious. He wanted to know how someone with such a powerful dao domain would answer this question. Lu Yuncong always thought that his answer was perfect, or else he wouldn't have been the first person to make Li Qianmei ask the second question.

After hearing Li Qianmei's question, Wang Lin smiled. He looked at Li Qianmei but didn't speak.

Seeing Wang Lin's smile, Li Qianmei was very puzzled, but she wasn't in a rush, so she waited for Wang Lin to answer. Lu Yuncong frowned. He didn't know why this man in white had smiled after hearing this question. The way Lu Yuncong's saw it, that smile was filled with sarcasm and ridicule.

Wang Lin shook his head and calmly said, "Ask the second question."

Lu Yuncong looked at Wang Lin and said, "You haven't told her what heaven is!"

Wang Lin looked at Lu Yuncong and casually said, "Oh? Then what do you think heaven is?"

"Heaven is a cage! The opening of the well is heaven! The surface of the water is heaven!" Lu Yuncong's words were calm but filled with confidence.

Li Qianmei was still frowning on the side and still thinking. She couldn't see through Wang Lin. When she heard Lu Yuncong's words, she softly said, "Qianmei has asked a lot of fellow cultivators this question, but Elder Brother Lu gave the most convincing answer. Why did Dao Brother laugh? Is there something wrong with Qianmei's question?"

Wang Lin looked at Li Qianmei, and after a long time, he calmly said, "Is there a heaven?"

After he spoke, Li Qianmei was startled in place. She had asked many people, but none of them had responded like this. Even Lu Yuncong's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Lu Yuncong coldly snorted. "What nonsense. Heaven is all around us. What kind of nonsense is asking if there is a heaven!"

Li Qianmei pondered for a bit and softly said, "Where is there no heaven?"

Wang Lin didn't speak but raised his right hand and waved. A breeze blew through the courtyard and a circle appeared on the ground around Li Qianmei and Lu Yuncong. It was as if someone had drawn a circle around them with a stick.

"This is the circle is the heaven both of you think exist. Because you believe that there is a heaven, the heavens exist. You regard yourselves as ants that struggle to break out from the heavens, which is your cage. This is your belief and your faith. However, even if you walk out from the circle, what's the use?"

Wang Lin shook his head and waved his right hand, then another circle formed around the circle from before.

"Once you come out, there will still be another heaven, and the cycle of karma continues without end until… The heaven in your heart is erased by the heavens, and this is the lie of the heavens! I was thinking about this hundreds of years ago. So why must there be a heaven?"

After Wang Lin finished speaking, he calmly sat there and no longer spoke.

Lu Yuncong's body trembled violently, as if someone had hit his head with a bat. His ears buzzed as if countless bolts of thunder had exploded in his mind, and he subconsciously took a few steps back. He stepped out of the first circle but was still in the second. He stared at the two circles as Wang Lin's voice echoed in his mind.

"Lie of the heavens…"

His face gradually grew pale and his mind became chaotic. The dao he had cultivated all his life began to crack. He wanted to refute the words of the man in white, but he was powerless.

The two circles outside his body seemed to expand forever and eventually became the heaven in his heart, a cage. He spent all his effort to get out of the first cage only to find that he was in another one…

This strange feeling made his face pale, and blood came out from the corner of his mouth. He revealed a self-deprecating smile.

Li Qianmei slowly closed her eyes, and her mind trembled. Wang Lin's words were like a rune that danced in her mind and was gradually engraved into her heart.

She originally thought that the confusion in her dao was like the clouds. No one she had asked along the way could lift it, only Lu Yuncong's words were like lightning that made the clouds dissipate a bit.

However, at this moment, she understood that Lu Yuncong's understanding of dao was simply ridiculous! He had fallen into the lie of heavens and was unable to pull himself out.

Wang Lin's voice was like a storm. It turned into two invisible hands and swept away all the confusion and clouds in her mind, revealing the blue sky!

Her eyelashes trembled lightly as Li Qianmei opened her eyes. She looked at Wang Lin for a long time and admiration appeared in her eyes.

Li Qianmei bowed and softly said, "Can Dao Brother tell me your name?"

"Lu Zihao." Wang Lin's voice was still calm without the slightest fluctuation.

"Brother Lu's answer has enlightened Qianmei. Qianmei would like to ask the second question. I hope Brother Lu can clear Qianmei's doubts…" Li Qianmei looked at Wang Lin with bright eyes.

"For the first question, I want one of the highest quality pills you have!" Wang Lin looked at Li Qianmei.

Li Qianmei blinked and revealed a smile. Her little girl smile was very alluring, but at this moment, Lu Yuncong was bitterly thinking, so he didn't see it. Wang Lin saw it, but he was indifferent.

"Bother Lu has miscalculated. Most of the pills on Qianmei are half-complete and need to be refined back at the sect. The highest I have is only rank 10, and it isn't a Soul Parting Death Pill, but a healing pill. Since Brother Lu asked for it, I'll give it to you." After Li Qianmei spoke, her right hand reached at the void and a crack to her storage space appeared. A pill flew out into Wang Lin's hands.

Wang Lin frowned as he accepted the pill and put it away after looking at it.

"Qianmei's second question: what is heaven?" Li Qianmei's eyes were very bright. Her heart pounded as she waited for Wang Lin's answer.

She had never felt this kind of feeling before. Even when Lu Yuncong was answering, although she was looking forward to it, there wasn't this level of expectation.

After hearing Li Qianmei's second question, Wang Lin raised his head to look at the blue sky. There was a hint of melancholy on his face as he softly said, "The first question was asking about the limit of dao. The second is asking about the will of the heavens…"

After he spoke, Li Qianmei's eyes became even brighter and fixated on Wang Lin. He was the first person she had met that was able to guess the different meaning behind the two same questions!

Lu Yuncong took a deep breath and suppressed the chaos in his mind. After hearing Wang Lin's words, he was startled, but he understood why he wasn't qualified to answer the third question even though he felt that his answer was perfect.

Chapter 1167 - Looking Back With a Smile

Because he didn't even understand the difference between the two questions.

"A old friend once told me that the rain is born from the heavens and dies on the earth. The middle is life… But does the rain really come from the heavens… Rain comes from the void and has nothing to do with the heavens. The rain falls on the earth and nourishes all life, but it has nothing to do with the earth. It is just the fate of rain!

"The rain forms from water vapor, and water vapor comes from all living things. The rain naturally needs to return to them. This is a cycle, a cycle of karma, and it can also be considered fate.

"There is the law of fate. It is invisible, but it surrounds all life and quietly changes everything…" Wang Lin looked at the sky and randomly waved his hand. A thunderous rumble came from the sky and then water vapor gather from all sides. Dark clouds appeared, and a moment later, rain fell from the sky.

"Look at the life of a raindrop. Is there any raindrop that falls in a straight line… I observed rain for a long time like I was viewing life, but I didn't see any drop of rain fall straight without changing its trajectory. They… always change due to the wind or the clouds or their own weight, adjusting the place they will land. Do you see the unwillingness from the rain?

"Do you know why it is like this?" Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Qianmei.

Li Qianmei looked at the rain, and after a long time, she softly said, "Where the will of the heavens exists, fate will change."

"The life of a raindrop is very short, but due to cycle, it is very long… Cultivators like us have very long lives, but due to the will of the heavens, it is also very short.

"However, in just in the short life of a drop of rain, it struggles countless times to escape the control of fate. In order to fight fate, it keeps changing where it will land!

"And the long lives of cultivators like us are not something the rain can't compare to, but how many are willing to desperately struggle to the death to escape the clutches of fate like the rain? To struggle until death to resist the arrangement of the heavens. To struggle until death to defy the will of the heavens!"

Wang Lin waved his sleeves and the sky rumbled and the rain was pushed back into the clouds. The dark clouds collapsed and the rain turned into water vapor that dissipated into the world.

"You changing the fate of the raindrop makes you the will of the heavens. The moth will be burned by the fire. If you blow out the fire, making it so the moth can't die in the fire, then you have changed the fate of the moth. If fate wants someone to die but you save them, then you are the will of the heavens! There is a saying from ancient times: 'Are those who call themselves kings and lords more noble than us?' This saying embodies this truth!

"The celestials also had a saying: 'Once a man achieves dao, his chicken and dogs will rise to heaven.' This is another embodiment of this truth. This is my answer to your second question!"

Wang Lin's voice was resolute. After he spoke, everything became quiet. As Lu Yuncong stared at Wang Lin, his mind trembled. His eyes were filled with a complicated expression, but he couldn't help but respect this ordinary man in white.

The other party's words had fallen on his mind. Lu Yuncong silently pondered for a moment and then clasped his hands at Wang Lin. He didn't speak, but his action revealed his admiration.

Li Qianmei looked at the sky and confusion filled her eyes. She let out a sigh and looked at Wang Lin. This time her gaze was very different. She bit her lower lip and softly said, "Little Sister is convinced by Brother Lu's dao." As she spoke, she waved her right hand and took out a jade and pill from her storage space. She gently sent them over.

"This is an semi-complete pill infused with a rank 10 beast soul. The list of herbs and method required to finish the pill are inside the jade." She hesitated a bit before looking at Wang Lin and whispering, "Little Sister has one last question to ask."

Wang Lin was the first person she had met who made her ask the third question. There was a trace of complexity in her eyes as she carefully looked at Wang Lin as if she wanted to engrave him in her mind.

 You will never turn off your computer again. No Install. Play for free.Panzer.Quest strategy game

No else one knew the importance and significance of these three questions to her.

"I hope Brother Lu can resolve Little Sister's third question…" For some unknown reason, there was a trace of red on Li Qianmei's face.

Li Qianmei looked at Wang Lin and softly said, "The third question still is 'what is heaven…'"

Wang Lin silently pondered and closed his eyes. Time slowly passed, and after seven minutes, Wang Lin opened his eyes. He looked at Li Qianmei and calmly spoke.

"What you're asking is about not heaven, but dao."

Li Qianmei pondered a bit and gently nodded.

"I have always been thinking about this question as well. I once thought that I found the answer, but looking at it now, that answer doesn't seem complete…"

"I wonder what the answer Brother Lu obtained was. Can you tell Little Sister?" Li Qianmei's gaze was pure as she looked at Wang Lin.

Li Yuncong stood on the side and let out a sigh in his heart. He felt like he was a third wheel. He shook his head and simply sat down on the ground. He waved his right hand, took out a jug, and downed a big gulp.

Wang Lin pondered a bit and slowly said, "I'm the fish, the dao is the net, and the river is the heavens. The fisherman who controls the net is fate!"

When Li Yuncong heard this, his right hand stopped. He pondered a bit, and after a long time, he seemed to gain enlightenment. He looked at Wang Lin, then his right hand reached at the void to take out another jug of wine and he threw it at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin caught the jug and took a big gulp.

Lu Yuncong let out a sigh and looked at Wang Lin with a complicated look. Although this person looked ordinary, he had an aura that made him yield.

"My child was really damned. Dying to him could be considered his fortune…" Lu Yuncong wasn't an ordinary person. After drinking a mouthful of wine, he untied the knot in his heart.

Li Qianmei frowned as she gently massaged between her brow and softly said, "Teacher once said something similar. He once said that a person is the ant, dao is the mountain, and will is the heavens. If the heavens are angry, the dao moves with the heavens. If the ant is angry, it also has the strength to move the mountain!"

As she spoke, looked at the ground. She placed down a white cloth and also sat down.

"Dao isn't the net or the mountain, but a thought! This thought varies from person to person. Some people regard it as a net, while others regard it as a mountain…" When Wang Lin heard Li Qianmei's words, he began to ponder, and his eyes gradually grew brighter.

"Dao is a thought? A person is a person because they have thoughts, so they can separate from their body, merge with the world, and ponder about the unknown…" Lu Yuncong also seemed to gain enlightenment, and he seemed to mutter to himself.

Li Qianmei thought for a bit and smiled. "Brother Lu's way of thinking is very peculiar."

The three of them seemed to have forgotten the passage of time and began to chat in the courtyard. The originally murderous aura had been washed away by this dao debate. Night came and the moon hung high in the sky. This caused the shadow of the moon to appear before all three of them.

The three of them forgot about time as they debated dao, but this made the lives of the people outside bitter. The old man originally wasn't anxious, but after waiting for more than half a day, he began to frown.

He didn't understand why they hadn't returned after such a long time with the Sect Master's cultivation and Li Qianmei.

After several more hours, the anxiety in the old man's heart became even stronger. He vaguely had a bad feeling. He clenched his teeth and no longer hesitated. He took control of the tiger beast and headed to the continent of Mo Luo along with more than 30 Purple Dao Sect core disciples!

However, just as they closed in, before they broke through the protective barrier, a commanding voice echoed.

"Back off! Without my order, you're not allowed to take half a step into the continent of Mo Luo!" This voice belonged to Lu Yuncong. The old man was startled and quickly controlled the tiger to retreat. However, his heart was still puzzled.

Inside the courtyard, daylight enveloped the yard. Wang Lin looked at Lu Yuncong, and Lu Yuncong silently sat there drinking wine. He understood that he was not an opponent for this man in white. Even if the entire Purple Dao Sect came, it wouldn't make any difference.

Wang Lin looked at Li Qianmei and calmly said, "For the third question, I can only say that dao is like a thought."

Li Qianmei revealed a smile, and it was very beautiful. She looked at Wang Lin and softly said, "Thank you, Brother Lu, for resolving Little Sister's doubt. I hope Brother Lu inform me once he finds the answer to the third question. From now on, Little Sister won't be asking others these questions."

Wang Lin was startled. He looked at Li Qianmei, and after pondering for a bit, he nodded.

Lu Yuncong let out a sigh and stood up. He clasped his hands at Wang Lin and said, "Fellow Cultivator Lu, with our night of dao debate, our past enmity is gone! However, you must return that Yin Celestial Flag to me!"

Wang Lin's gaze was calm and he shook his head.

"You…" Lu Yuncong took a deep breath and bitterly smiled.

Lu Yuncong let out a sigh and said, "Fellow Cultivator Lu, this Yin Celestial Flag doesn't belong to the Purple Dao Sect. It was sent by the main sect to be nourished. It must be returned after 100 years. If you don't want to return it, I won't insist, but once the 100 year period is up and the main sect comes asking for it, don't blame me for telling them the truth."

"The Yin Celestial Flag is something that belongs to the main sect?" Wang Lin's expression was neutral, but thoughts flashed through his mind.

"It is! Forget it. Since you don't want to return it, I won't insist. Farewell!" Lu Yuncong clasped his hands. When he looked at Li Qianmei and saw that she had no intent to leave, he couldn't help but feel bitterness in his heart. He clasped his hands at Li Qianmei and left.

After Lu Yuncong left, Li Qianmei looked at Wang Lin and gently smiled. She held up her jade flute next to her mouth and began to play. The sound of the flute echoed. It was filled with warmth and elegance. It was graceful like a gentle sea breeze and made it so people couldn't help but be immersed.

This flute contained a tranquil charm, like the life in a village or the clear, mountain stream. It washed away all the dirt in one's heart. It was like a rainbow bridge that connected two people so the estrangement between them would disappear.

Feeling the quiet and elegance in the song, Wang Lin closed his eyes. It was as if he had gone back to planet Suzaku and saw that woman playing the zither, or the blind woman in the Demon Spirit Land…

The flute song entering his ears mixed with the zither in his heart. It was difficult to distinguish them.

Lu Yuncong left accompanied by the sound of the flute, and the bitterness in his heart became even stronger. He looked at the Origin Sect and let out a sigh before leaving without looking back.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the flute dissipated. Li Qianmei stood up and looked at Wang Lin before walking toward the gate of the courtyard. Then she stopped and looked back with a smile.

Just as this smile bloomed, Wang Lin opened his eyes.

"Brother Lu, the continent of Peng Lai will be holding an auction that only occurs every 30 years. Are you interested in going?"

Chapter 1168 - The Mysterious starfield Behind the Rank 9 Region

The continent of Peng Lai was very famous in the rank 5 region. Most of this fame came from the Treasured Jade Sect!

The Treasured Jade Sect was the number one sect in the rank 5 region. They had many cultivators and naturally had a lot of old monsters. The continent they were on was called Peng Lai, but it was also called the Peng Lai Celestial Realm.

The size of Peng Lai was far larger than Mo Luo; it was at least a dozen times bigger. It's a bit inappropriate to call it a continent, because it was half a cultivation planet!

In the Cloud Sea, there were very few cultivation planets; they were very rare. Only those very powerful sects could own them.

Even the Treasured Jade Sect wasn't qualified to occupy a complete cultivation planet; they could only get half! They only got half because an ancestor 20,000 years ago had achieved great merit and this was given to them by the rank 9 Ghost Sect.

Even until now, no other higher rank cultivator dared to covet for this cultivation planet, which allowed the Treasured Jade Sect to keep this cultivation planet.

Looking through the star fog, Peng Lai looked like a tooth. Layers of protective barriers glowed around it, pushing the star fog back and making Peng Lai shine.

Aside from the Treasured Jade Sect, part of the fame of Peng Lai was the auction it held every 30 years. Every time, there would be a large amount of cultivators, including some famous cultivators from the upper regions. The whole thing was extremely lively.

The auction takes place over three months, meaning there will be a very comprehensive list of treasures, pills, pill recipes, and spirit beasts for sale. It provides cultivators with with a large variety of resources. This also includes the exchanging of celestial jades and origin crystals along with the trafficking of bodies and cultivation furnaces.

There was even gambling by using your own spirit beast to fight. Of course, the most interesting things were the Peng Lai Chaos and auctioning your own goods.

The Peng Lai Chaos was an environment in the Treasured Jade Sect where cultivators could freely bet in life and death matches. The winner would take the loser's treasures.

The auction on Peng Lai was about to open, so many rays of light were heading over. Due to the matter with the jade and pill recipe, there were many cultivators from the rank 6 region this time. There were even cultivators from the rank 7 or 8 regions coming as well.

Among the stars, there were two rays of light. It was a man and woman. The man wore white and looked very calm. Even if a mountain collapsed before him, his expression wouldn't change. He was Wang Lin.

The woman beside him was extremely beautiful and also wore snow white as well. Her blue hair moved without any wind and her exquisite face could cause anyone's heart to pound. She gave off a tranquil and elegant aura, like she was a fairy that had descended onto this mortal world. If you met her eyes, you wouldn't be able to help but feel ashamed.

"Just a few more days before we reach the continent of Peng Lai. Qianmei came to Peng Lai 500 years ago with a fellow sect member. It was very lively and I have good memories of it." The woman's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of remembrance, and she smiled.

Wang Lin was on the side, silently looking ahead. He normally wouldn't have come here with Li Qianmei and wasn't interested in this auction. However, after listening to Li Qianmei's words, he pondered a bit and was tempted.

The Cloud Sea was filled with star fog, and without an accurate star map, it was almost impossible navigate. The higher rank the region, the more true this was. In order to go from the rank 5 region to the rank 8 region, it required a lot more star maps.

In the Cloud Sea, a comprehensive star map was very rare. Most were made by individuals, so they required you to collect many of them. Then you'd had to verify their accuracy before obtaining a more comprehensive map.

The reason he had agreed to come was because he wanted to get a star map. However, star maps were extremely valuable, and very few people were willing to trade them. After all, with how the Cloud Sea was, a star map was the top secret of a sect.

This was understandable. Very few sects dared to say they had a star map that covered this vast star system covered in star fog. After all, there were many places that no cultivators had gone to before.

At times like this, the role of a star map was extremely important. On an unknown continent, the information on what fierce beasts there were and what herbs there were would be considered valuable information. Only a few cultivators or a sect would control his information.

Without a star map, it would be difficult to move; even the development of a sect would be affected. The only way they could get resources would be to go to some wild continents everyone knew.

Therefore, every single sect would spend a lot of effort to explore the stars. However, it was difficult to find your direction within the fog, and there were countless fierce beasts within. It would often cost a sect a great price to explore an area. As a result, it was naturally better to exchange star maps. However, humans were naturally greedy, so even in exchanges, there would be false information or information that would lead people to dangerous areas. As a result, the trading of star maps gradually died down.

Every single sect preferred to go explore themselves and obtain a safe star map rather than exchanging for a fake one that would make them pay a bloody price.

As for Li Qianmei, she had used a unique transfer array in her sect to each of the sub sects. Only after several transfers did she arrive in the rank 5 region.

This was a common method sect rank 8 and above sects used in the Cloud Sea. Like spreading seeds into the lower regions, they supported or reconstructed various sub sects. They allowed the sub sects to grow, and their biggest role was to act as transfer locations. This allowed the people of the main sect to move to the different regions and thus avoid the issue of the lack of star maps.

There was a transfer array like this in the Origin Sect.

However, every time the transfer array activated, it would be crossing starfields and therefore required a large amount of celestial jade or origin crystals to activate. Thus, without the main sect giving the appropriate permission, it was impossible to activate.

Along the way, Wang Lin was pondering. He pretended to listen to Li Qianmei's words but didn't chat with her.

Li Qianmei was very angry. Along the way, this man beside her was like a mute and never said a word. It was only her talking, as if she was talking to herself.

As the two flew, they became silent.

Wang Lin looked at Li Qianmei. After pondering a bit, he slowly said, "The rank 9 region is very mysterious to us. I wonder how many sects are in the rank 9 region?"

There was no flaw in his question. In the Cloud Sea, due to the star fog, it created barriers between cultivators, so a lot of information wasn't widespread. The rank 9 region was also high above and was a mysterious existence.

The Origin Sect records only had a simple description of the rank 9 region; they only knew that there was a God Sect. Wang Lin only found out about the Heaven Breaking Sect after obtaining the jade and searching the memories of the Poison Old Woman. After all, a rank 5 sect wouldn't know more than a rank 6 sect.

Li Qianmei heard Wang Lin talk. After pondering a bit, she answered Wang Lin's question.

"There are a total of four sects in the rank 9 region, namely the God Sect, the Ghost Sect, the Demon Sect, and the Heaven Breaking Sect. The Heaven Breaking Sect Qianmei belongs to is the weakest, while the God Sect is the strongest! The Ghost Sect is the most mysterious! As for the Demon Sect…" Li Qianmei hesitated a bit and whispered,

"The Demon Sect is located in the deepest part of the rank 9 region, and it is very difficult for cultivators to enter it. All the powerful fierce beasts gather there. Teacher once said that there are terrifying beasts that can take human form there… However, with the God Sect around, the Demon Sect isn't be able to do much!"

"Oh?" Wang Lin's expression changed slightly and then he said, "Fierce beasts that can take human form?"

Li Qianmei nodded and softly said, "Fierce beasts can comprehend the heavens and cultivate dao, so why wouldn't they be able to cultivate a human form? However, there aren't many fierce beasts like this, only a rare few.

"There are a few matters you and a vast majority of cultivators don't know about. Even my Heaven Breaking Sect only found out about some of these secrets after entering the rank 9 region."

Li Qianmei's expression was serious. After pondering a bit, she whispered, "A long time ago, there was only one sect in the rank 9 region of the Cloud Sea. It was the God Sect!

"After the God Sect had ruled the Cloud Sea for countless years, the first outbreak of fierce beasts occurred. During that time, there were three fierce beasts with human form. It was said they came from another star system…

"Without the God Sect, this outbreak of fierce beasts would have spread across the entire Cloud Sea. In the end, it was stopped by the God Sect, so it didn't spread, and not many outsiders know of this. That war was said to have brought heavy casualties. After suppressing the fierce beasts, the God Sect sent out a group of people to be stationed in the depths of the rank 9 region. There is crack in space there that links to a mysterious star system. Some extremely powerful beasts came from there. In order to stop the fierce beasts from spreading, battles broke out there for tens of thousands of years. Even now, the fight continues.

"A part of the God Sect gave up their freedom and remained deep within the rank 9 region, acting as the first line of defense. However, as time passed, these God Sect disciples became independent and started calling themselves the Demon Sect. They stopped taking orders from the God Sect, but they still defended that position from waves of fierce beast attacks."

Li Qianmei's voice was very beautiful, but the contents of her words were shocking. Wang Lin's eyes became serious. He didn't think the Cloud Star Star System was hiding such a shocking secret.

"The God Sect was worried about this. They dreaded the Demon Sect and the invading fierce beasts. They first helped promote the Ghost Sect, who are good at using soul capture spells, into a rank 9 sect. Then they raised my Heaven Breaking Sect into rank 9 as well. All of this was to prepare for the second outbreak that could happen at any time!" After she finished speaking, she looked at Wang Lin and softly said,

"This matter is of great importance. I hope Brother Lu won't tell others."

Wang Lin silently pondered for a moment and nodded. He then looked into the distance as if his gaze could penetrate the void and reach the rank 9 region. He saw the spatial crack the Demon Sect had been suppressing for tens of thousands of years and saw the mysterious unknown star system inside…

"Everything in this world has a reason… If what Li Qianmei said is true, then where is that mysterious star system…"

Chapter 1169 - Who Are You?

"Every several hundred years, the rank 9 region forms an army of cultivators to send to help fight against the fierce beasts from the mysterious star system… Perhaps it won't be long before Qianmei will have to go as well." Li Qianmei's blue hair fluttered and a few strands were caught by her right hand as she smiled.

Wang Lin silently pondered.

"If that day comes, Brother Lu has to send Qianmei off." Li Qianmei blinked and chuckled. That smile was beautiful like a blooming orchid, with a sense of grace and elegance.

That beautiful face was similar to Lu Yanfei's, who stood on top of her pavilion and silently watched when Wang Lin left the continent of Mo Luo. There was also her soft voice.

"I hope Senior comes to the 100 year competition that will occur in the main sect…" With Lu Yanfei's intelligence, she could tell that the continent of Mo Luo couldn't keep Wang Lin. This was, after all, only a foothold, and he was just a passerby…

She knew he was going to leave after resolving the matter with the Origin Sect. His departure had happened almost immediately after the disaster with the Purple Dao Sect had been resolved. Once he leaves… she probably won't see him return.

The blue-haired woman that left with Wang Lin also caught Lu Yanfei's eyes, and she gradually lowered her head.

Wang Lin saw this scene and heard this. He couldn't look back and shouldn't have looked back as he flew far away. But just as he was about to depart the continent of Mo Luo, Wang Lin's words were like a gentle breeze that lifted Lu Yanfei's hair.

"I will."

At this moment, Wang Lin looked at Li Qianmei, who was already at the late stage of Nirvana Shatterer but didn't have the slightest hint of arrogance and was like a next door little sister.

He listened to her talking about the secrets of the rank 9 region. He listened to her talk about the war with the fierce beasts. He listen to her asking him to send her off.

Wang Lin pondered a bit before he nodded and whispering, "I will."

Li Qianmei smiled. When she smiled, her eyes were like the crescent moon.

On the second day of the auction, Wang Lin and Li Qianmei arrived outside of Peng Lai. Li Qianmei used her dao spell to turn her hair black.

This made it so she wouldn't have to worry about being recognized. The black-haired Li Qianmei was even more elegant. Her standing next to Wang Lin attracted the attention of many surrounding cultivators.

The Treasured Jade Sect had placed a lot of disciples around Peng Lai to receive the arriving cultivators. After paying the fee, they would open the formation and allow the cultivators inside.

This was the first time Wang Lin had seen a cultivation planet since he came to the Cloud Sea, even if it was only half of one. However, compared to the shock other cultivators experienced when they saw a cultivation planet, Wang Lin was extremely calm.

In the Cloud Sea, a majority of cultivators had never seen a cultivation planet before, only floating continents. The shock of seeing a cultivation planet for the first time always showed on their faces.

However, to Wang Lin, a cultivation planet really wasn't much. He was born on a cultivation planet, he had accepted his teacher on a cultivation planet, and in Allheaven, he even had his own cultivation planet.

There was no need to talk about the large starfield within the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect.

The cultivators of the Treasured Jade Sect all had some pride because they owned a real cultivation planet. However, before Wang Lin, their pride was really insignificant.

As each cultivators paid their spirit stones and entered, it was finally Wang Lin and Li Qianmei's turn. The cultivators stationed here were mostly at the Yin and Yang stage. However, the cultivator leading them was unexpectedly at the Nirvana Scryer stage.

"The Treasured Jade Sect sure has a good name to have a Nirvana Scryer cultivator to welcome people." Wang Lin secretly shook his head. He could easily see through the Treasured Jade Sect's actions. They were putting on a show of power.

After paying the spirit stones, Wang Lin and Li Qianmei entered the continent of Peng Lai.

Li Qianmei smiled and whispered, "The auction this time is a lot better. Last time I came here, they had a Nirvana Cleanser cultivator welcoming people. I thought I was going to another rank 9 sect and forgot that this was only the rank 5 region."

Wang Lin silently shook his head.

Although people felt that the Treasure Jade Sect was shameless, Peng Lai was very beautiful. The earth was green and the mortals in the capital cities looked up respectfully at the cultivators flying by. There was a hint of envy in their eyes.

There were even majestic mountains and rivers; it was a feast for the eyes.

The location of the auction was on the eastern part of Peng Lai. It was a spectacular sight with stones floating in the air and pavilions built on top of them.

White clouds filled the sky and surrounded those stones, making the eastern part of Peng Lai look like the Celestial Realm.

The size of these cities built on these rocks were different based on the size of the rocks.

There were many of these stones floating there with a large stone in the center. They weren't stationary but slowly rotating.

There were also bursts of music and melodies coming out from these stones. However, on top of that, there were even graceful beasts flying between the stones. They would appear and disappear within the clouds.

Looking at this, Wang Lin's expression remained the same, but he sighed in his heart. There was a large formation on each of those stones that consumed large amounts of spirit stones every second to remain floating.

"The Treasure Jade Sect is famous for being wasteful, but although it looks like the Celestial Realm, it lacks celestial spiritual energy because they are using spirit stones. In the end, it is only an imatiation. Not even the Treasured Jade Sect can afford that many celestial jades, much less origin crystals." Li Qianmei laughed.

Hearing Li Qianmei mentioning celestial jades, Wang Lin made a strange face. He had already learned from the records at the Origin Sect that the Cloud Sea was severely lacking in celestial jades.

This was greatly related to the Wind Celestial Realm being occupied by the mosquito beasts. If they couldn't enter, they couldn't get any celestial jades. Even the Treasured Jade Sect only dared to squander spirit stones and were extremely stingy with celestial jades.

Even the young master of the Purple Dao Sect didn't have 100 pieces of celestial jades in his bag. This was just how rare they were.

Similarly, in the Cloud Sea, there was an even more precious resource called the "origin crystal." Just like how celestial jades were required for reaching the Ascendant stage and Yin and Yang cultivators used them for their formations and treasures, the origin crystals had even greater for second step cultivators.

Origin crystals only existed in the Cloud Sea and were loved by second step cultivators. Absorbing them could rapidly recover origin energy for second step cultivators. They could also drastically increase the rate of cultivating.

If you had an origin crystal when setting formations or refining treasures, their power would be increased.

However, origin crystals were as rare as celestial jades. The only difference was that the celestial jades were in the Wind Celestial Realm, making them almost impossible to obtain. As for for the origin crystals, they were mostly controlled by the rank 8 or higher sects, most of it by the rank 9 sects.

All of this was due to the formation of origin crystals. They couldn't be mined but were formed by rank 12 beasts that could turn into fog. After a rank 12 beast has lived inside the star fog for a long time, an origin crystal gradually forms. Only sects and cultivators with rank 12 beasts could farm origin crystals.

However, there weren't many rank 12 beasts, and only a few of them could turn into fog. As a result, only rank 8 sects and higher possessed them.

If an origin beast were to appear in the lower region, a massive fight for it would occur. After all, an origin beast meant origin crystals!

Wang Lin stepped into a city on one of the floating stones with Li Qianmei. The city was open and there were a lot of cultivators within. Some had even paid the Treasured Jade Sect spirit stones to open up their own booths to do business.

"This is the outer perimeter, and it is fairly lively." Li Qianmei walked beside Wang Lin and looked around.

This place was very lively, and the sounds of bargaining filled the city. This place didn't look like a trade plaza for cultivators, it was more like a mortal market.

It had been a very long time since Wang Lin had visited a market like this. As he walked through the city, his gaze fell on a stall not far away.

"Fellow Cultivators, I don't have that many celestial jades. How about I add a pill?" There was an old man sitting behind the stall. He had a gloomy expression as he looked at a middle-aged man before him.

These words came from the middle-aged man.

"I can refine my own pills; they're are useless. 70 celestial jades for one origin crystal, this is my limit." The old man's gaze turned cold as he spoke. Then he no longer paid any attention to the middle-aged man.

In the Cloud Sea, cultivators could freely exchanged celestial jades and origin crystals at a certain rate. After hearing those words, Wang Lin subconsciously touched where his bag of holding was. Although it was empty, Wang Lin felt very strange. Even he didn't know how many celestial jades he had in his storage space…

Just at this moment, a voice filled with surprise came from the distance.

"Qianmei! It's really you!"

Following the voice were three cultivators. The person in front was about 30 years old. He wore a green shirt and was handsome. He had a slender body and surprise filled his eyes as he walked over. The two following him were also very handsome. Their cultivations were fluctuating, revealing that they weren't weak.

Li Qianmei frowned slightly but quickly relaxed and said, "So it's Fellow Cultivator Yang."

The man in green closed in and didn't even look at Wang Lin before smiling at Qianmei. "We only met a few months ago, but I already miss you. Fortunately, we were able to meet again today. Qianmei, this place is noisy; how about we go into the inner city?" The man's voice was gentle and there was a certain charm to it.

"Thanks, Fellow Cultivator Yang, for your kindness, but please excuse me." Li Qianmei's voice was calm, but it was also cold.

"Qianmei, you…" The man in green walked up a few steps and was about to speak.

"Fellow Cultivator Yang, please pay attention to what you say! 'Qianmei' is not something you can say!" Li Qianmei frowned and revealed anger. This Yang Yu was one of the people she had questioned, but she was not satisfied with his answer.

Yang Yu raised his eyebrows. He naturally saw Wang Lin beside Li Qianmei. He wouldn't dare to provoke Li Qianmei, but he didn't care about anyone else.

Yang Yu stared at Wang Lin and coldly said, "Who are you?"

Chapter 1170 - What is It

Wang Lin coldly looked at the man in green. This person was at the mid stage of Nirvana Scryer, and although he looked handsome, there was a sense of gloominess about him. His two companions behind him were both Nirvana Cleanser cultivators, and they were standing in an odd position.

While the man in green was speaking, they moved to the side and surrounded Wang Lin.

However, as Wang Lin looked over, only the man in green remained calm. The pupils of the two Nirvana Cleanser cultivators shrank and revealed tension and dread.

After withdrawing his gaze, Wang Lin didn't even look at the man in green and went toward the old man sitting at the side. The middle-aged man bargaining with the old man had already left. Not only him, all the surrounding cultivators had noticed that something was wrong and had all scattered.

The old man at the stall was calm and was looking at Wang Lin.

"Fellow Cultivator, how many origin crystals do you have?" Wang Lin spoke very casually and looked at a jade token that was around the waist of the old man.

The old man's face twitched and smiled. "Not much, only one; however, I only want celestial jades and nothing else."

Wang Lin's eyes lit up as his lips moved and he sent a message to the old man.

The old man was startled for a moment and looked at Wang Lin for a while. He then revealed a look of bewilderment.

Wang Lin's right hand reached out and his storage space opened. His hand reached inside and took out a bag of holding. Although Nirvana Cleanser cultivators didn't need storage bags, they would still use it during trades for the sake of privacy.

He wiped the divine sense off the bag and threw it at the old man. Then Wang Lin calmly said, "This is the deposit."

The old man caught the bag of holding and carefully scanned it with his divine sense. He then looked meanginfully at Wang Lin before silently pondering for a bit and cleaning up his stall. He said, "I'll look for you within three days." After he finished, he was about to leave, but he paused for a moment to look at Wang Lin and sent out a message.

"Fellow Cultivator is decisive. My name is Ouyang Long. I'll consider Fellow Cultivator my friend! This man in green is Yang Yu, and he is the third disciple of the Devil Collection Sect's sect master. Fellow Cultivator, be careful when dealing with this."

After sending out the message, the old man quickly left and didn't ask how to contact Wang Lin at all. Wang Lin also didn't question this.

Outsiders couldn't hear what Wang Lin and old man had said. Yang Yu saw that Wang Lin had only talked with the old man for a moment and caused the old man to leave. He became even more cautious.

As for the two cultivators surrounding Wang Lin, they became even more nervous.

Yang Yu's eyes lit up and he said, "You sure have guts. You haven't answered my question!

"Let your lord come out and speak to me." Although Wang Lin's expression was calm, his words were ice cold. When it landed on their ears, it was like a thunderous explosion.

The two early stage Nirvana Cleanser cultivators' expressions changed greatly. Yang Yu's pupils shrank and he was about to speak.

However, just at this moment, he moved like lightning and immediately arrived next to the cultivator on the left. This cultivator had been on guard this whole time and quickly retreated as his hand formed a seal. A giant red flower suddenly appeared, and it bloomed to more than 100 feet wide. The center opened up, revealing a mouth filled with teeth that tried to devour Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's expression was neutral, and he stepped forward instead of retreating. He disappeared without a trace and the flower devoured nothing. Wang Lin appeared behind the cultivator and his two fingers landed on the cultivator's back.

A muffle bang echoed, then the cultivator's face turned pale and he coughed out blood. The flower before him collapsed and he flew out like a kite with a broken string. He fell onto the ground in the distance and smashed a stall.

Just at this moment, the cultivator on the right retreated and waved his hand to summon seven flying swords. The seven swords quickly flew at Wang Lin. Wang Lin suddenly looked over, then his eyes revealed a strange light and he said one word!

"Dao!"

His eyes suddenly changed. His left eye was like a hazy illusion, while his right eye contained lightning that could shatter iron and split the earth. The two different gazes flew out like swords and imprinted in the eyes of the retreating cultivator.

The cultivator's body suddenly trembled and the flying swords went out of control. His eyes turned blurry and his heart pounded. It was as if he had entered a nightmare he couldn't escape. Hallucinations appeared, and he couldn't distinguish between real and fake.

Blood came out from the corner of his mouth and his eyes were bloodshot. He held his head, screaming as if he had gone crazy. This scene caused the surrounding cultivators to gasp.

All of this was very fast and ended in a flash. Wang Lin hadn't killed these two cultivators, but they were already useless.

Li Qianmei watched all of this and her eyes lit up. This was the first time she had seen Wang Lin attack. Everything had happened smoothly and without any hesitation.

Yang Yu's face was pale. He silently pondered as he looked at Wang Lin. The screams of his fellow sect members echoed in his ears and tore his mind. Just at this moment, Wang Lin turned to look at Yang Yu. His eyes were calm, as if what had just happened was like crushing an ant. That cold gaze made Yang Yu's mind tremble.

Wang Lin slowly walked toward Yang Yu step by step.

Back then, Lu Yuncong had borrowed the power of the world and used his dao to suppress something. Although it failed on Wang Lin, Wang Lin understood this method of attack. Given Wang Lin's understanding of dao, it was easy for him to grasp the meaning and make it his own spell.

Every step he took synced with Yang Yu's heartbeat. This made Yang Yun's heart thump on every step. In no more than 10 steps, Yang Yu's face turned even more pale.

As his heart pounded with each step, Wang Lin became larger in his eyes and came crashing down like a mountain. However, Yang Yu didn't retreat. The veins on his face swelled as he stared at Wang Lin. He struggled to let out a roar and his hair moved without any wind. However, he no longer had the gracefulness he had before.

Wang Lin let out a cold snort. His steps had completely fused with Yang Yu's heartbeat, and Yang Yu's heart was under Wang Lin's domain's complete control. Wang Lin lifted his right foot, but as it fell, he stopped it in midair. Due to Wang Lin's domain, Yang Yu's heart unexpectedly stopped.

Just at this moment, Wang Lin suddenly landed and sped up. He took three steps in a row!

Bang, bang, bang!

The moment those three steps landed, Yang Yu felt like a heavy hammer had smashed into his chest three times. His body trembled, his face turned ruddy, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. He wasn't able to resist Wang Lin's domain and was pushed back.

Just after he retreated one step, he coughed out another mouthful of blood. He continued to retreat and his ruddy face turned pale once more. There was confusion and struggle in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, his eyes were bloodshot.

Illusions appeared in his mind one by one. These were scenes of him and his fellow sect members dying in countless different ways. He knew that this was false, but he couldn't clear his mind. These illusions were like memories that were engraved into his mind and became more real each second.

Yang Yu's body trembled violently as he held his head. He didn't scream, but he continued to struggle. He was losing his clarity and confusion was taking over.

Seeing that he was about to be lost inside the illusion, Yang Yu continued to retreat and called for help.

"Uncle-Master save me!!"

The moment he spoke, a green shadow arrived before Yang Yu. His finger mercilessly pointed to between Yang Yu's eyebrows. Popping sounds came from his body and blood mist erupted, then he fell to the ground unconscious.

This green shadow didn't stop and in a flash arrived next to another cultivator. He used the same spell and caused the screaming cultivator to pass out.

As the green shadow moved, he arrived in front of Yang Yu and pointed his finger at him. The green shadow was an old man. He had a head of white hair and his eyes were shining with power.

"What are you looking for me for?" Wang Lin was calm as he looked at the old man.

The old man revealed no emotion as he looked at Wang Lin for a while and smiled. "Fellow Cultivator Lu is indeed smart. This old man is indeed looking for you, so I hope Fellow Cultivator doesn't mind I was a bit reckless. How about we find a place to site to allow this old man to make amends?"

Wang Lin's expression remained the same as he looked at the old man. After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin nodded. Wang Lin was already as cunning as the devil, and when Yang Yu first appeared, Wang Lin noticed that Yang Yu was clearly looking at him. Then Yang Yun arrived and started pretending to catch up with Qianmei.

He even saw through that when Yang Yu pretended to catch up with Qianmei, the other two weren't able to hide their nervousness.

If this was it, that would be fine, but that Yang Yu had quickly pointed his word at Wang Lin. Given Yang Yu's cultivation level, it seemed a bit contrived for him to do this.

After seeing through the clues and with the reminder of Ouyang Long, Wang Lin knew that Yang Yu had been targeting him. He had only dealt with the Devil Collection Sect once, and that was Zhao Yu on the continent of Mo Luo. However, it was only Wang Lin's gaze. Wang Lin wasn't sure if the other party was testing his strength due to the matter with Zhao Yu or… the flaw left on the wild continent.

However, no matter what, the cultivation world respected the strong. Showing his cultivation level would not only be a deterrent to others, it would also allow him to gain respect. After realizing this, Wang Lin instantly chose to attack.

After hearing the old man say "Fellow Cultivator Lu," Wang Lin became even more certain about what to do.

Li Qianmei had only cultivated for a short time and didn't have Wang Lin's life experience of fighting against all those old monsters with years of experience. She didn't see through this very difficult clue until Wang Lin said "Bring out your lord." Li Qianmei's eyes lit up as if she had seen through something.

"This person's scheming… is even more scary than his cultivation!!!" Li Qianmei looked at Wang Lin with shock.

Chapter 1171 - Puzzled

There were restaurants and places to stay all ready in the various floating cities on Peng Lai. Although cultivators didn't need to eat and didn't need much rest, they still liked to eat. Even when cultivating, one would want a quiet room.

There was no lack of these kinds of facilities in the city.

At this moment, on the third floor of a inn, the entire floor had been cleared out of unauthorized people. Now there were only two elders, Wang Lin, and Li Qianmei there.

One of the old men was Yang Yu's uncle-master, and the other one had a shining, red face.

The green-robed old man smiled. "Fellow Cultivator Lu, I haven't introduced myself. I'm the rank 6 Devil Collection Sect's elder Tang Lihai."

"This old man is the Devil Collection Sect's Wu Qing." The red-faced old man's voice was like a bell that shook the entire third floor.

These two elders were both at the early stage of Nirvana Shatterer, but they didn't put up any airs and treated Wang Lin as an equal. Wu Qing had heard about what happened from Tang Lihai and was shocked. He didn't dare to underestimate Wang Lin.

Li Qianmei quickly sat on the side and played with the wine cup in her hand. However, her gaze would occasionally sweep past a deserted table in the corner.

Tang Lihai and Wu Qing naturally knew of her identity, but since she had changed her hair color, it was obvious she didn't want it to be revealed. They didn't say anything and only looked over to pay their respects.

"Today, it was me who was reckless, so I hope Fellow Cultivator Lu won't mind." Tang Lihai picked up the wine cup and looked at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's expression was neutral as he picked up the cup to match, but he didn't drink it and placed it down immediately after.

Tang Lihai laughed. "I heard from Disciple Zhao Yu that Fellow Cultivator Lu's spell was amazing. After seeing it today, it really was extraordinary. I want to become friends with Brother Lu."

"No problem. It was also my intent to become friends with the Devil Collection Sect." Wang Lin quietly waited for what was next. He didn't believe they would come just to become friends with him.

The two of them began to talk, but Tang Lihai still didn't bring up the real purpose. He was secretly gauging Wang Lin, and he was also afraid of the relationship between Wang Lin and Li Qianmei.

Wu Qing listened for a very long time and eventually revealed a hint of impatience. He picked up a cup and slammed it on the table. He looked at Wang Lin and said, "Fellow Cultivator Lu, I'm not good at talking in circles. Today I came to ask if Fellow Cultivator is willing to become an external elder.

"If you agree, my Devil Collection Sect will greet you with great gifts! Even if you don't agree, after today, the three of us can be counted as acquaintances. For us cultivators, those we call 'fellow cultivator' can be considered friends!"

Hearing Wu Qing's words, Tang Lihai revealed a wry smile as he looked at Wang Lin and said, "I was going to ask Fellow Cultivator about this after talking a bit more, but I forgot about this Wu Qing's attitude. My Devil Collection Sect is very sincere, and if you become an external elder, we will provide all the alchemy materials you need. We ask you act when you should to maintain the dignity of my Devil Collection Sect!"

Wang Lin pondered a bit and slowly said, "I need to consider this first. How about this: I'll give you an answer before leaving Peng Lai."

Tang Lihai laughed and nodded. "That's how it should be. Fellow Cultivator, please think carefully. We will await your answer."

After talking about this matter, Wang Lin stood up and said his goodbyes. He left with Li Qianmei.

It wasn't until the two of them left that the red faced elder's face became gloomy. He no longer had that straight forward appearance he had before.

He slowly said, "His cultivation is very strange!"

Tang Lihai said, "It is indeed very strange. He is also very cautious, suspicious, and wise. Also very ruthless and decisive when acting."

At this moment, on the deserted table in the corner, a figure gradually appeared. It was a middle-aged man wearing a daoist robe. He was pale and had the air of a celestial.

He stood up and walked toward the two elders before slowly sitting down.

The middle-aged man looked outside the window and whispered, "I can't tell if he saw through my invisibility."

Tang Lihai hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if he saw through you, it should be Li Qianmei who secretly told him…"

The middle-aged man shook his head.

"Is it… that guy?" Wu Qing's eyes lit up and became cold as he spoke.

"If he saw through it, he is. If he didn't, then he isn't." The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and frowned.

"No matter what happens, don't touch this person. I get a very dangerous feeling from him… My Devil Collection Sect will back out of this matter with the jade and pill recipe. We can't afford to participate." The middle-aged man massaged his temples. He looked exhausted.

Every city had their own market, and there were a lot of them scattered about. Over the next few days, Wang Lin said farewell to Li Qianmei and wandered the city on his own.

Li Qianmei nodded while smiling, and the two split up.

Without Li Qianmei beside him, Wang Lin no longer cared to hide it anymore and began looking for star maps for sale. Back in the inn, Wang Lin vaguely saw that there was a cultivator hiding at the table in the corner.

However, his expression didn't change and he didn't reveal any sign that he had noticed.

"It seems the clues on the wild continent have already been seen through…" Wang Lin let out a sigh and became more anxious to buy star maps. However, the star map prices were very high and it was difficult to tell the real ones part from the fakes. After three days, Wang Lin had bought some, but he wasn't confident in them.

At dusk of the third day, Wang Lin returned to the inn and sat down on the bed. He looked at the six star map jades on his hand and began to ponder.

Shortly after, his expression changed slightly and he looked up at his room.

A moment later, a knock was heard.

"He finally came…" Wang Lin revealed a smile and waved his right hand. The door opened, revealing a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was burly and had a heroic look about him.

He didn't enter the room, but clasped his hands. "Senior, my teacher, Ouyang Long, invites you."

Wang Lin got up and walked toward the door. The middle-aged man respectfully made led the way. After leaving the inn, the two of them flew out of the city. Although it was night, the city was even more lively. The sound of people talking echoed in their ears.

A moment later, the two arrived at the center stone of all the floating cities. This was the main city, and it was dozens of times bigger than the outer cities. At night, this city was like a huge fierce beast that gave off a powerful sense of pressure.

Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, the two of them headed to the east gate. There were many cultivators guarding the east gate, and if you wanted to enter, you had to show a jade token.

Wang Lin noticed that when the middle-aged man took out the token, the surrounding cultivators immediately became respectful. They didn't even examine Wang Lin and allowed them to enter.

Shortly after they entered the city, they arrived in the center of the city. The middle-aged man stopped before a refined pavilion. He respectfully said to Wang Lin, "Senior, please enter. Given Junior's identity, I can't enter."

Wang Lin nodded and his divine sense spread forward before walking in. When he entered, he heard a hearty laugh. It was Ouyang Long walking down the stairs and clasping his hands at Wang Lin.

"I made Fellow Cultivator wait. You simply asked for too much and it took some time to prepare." Ouyang Long was very enthusiastic; he was like a different person from three days ago.

Wang Lin clasped his hands and smiled. "No problem." He naturally understood why Ouyang Long was like this. Wang Lin's actions back in the market not only shocked the Devil Collection Sect, but also shocked the force behind Ouyang Long.

"Come, come, come, this old man will take you to a place. Our exchange will be done there, and there will be some fun as well. Maybe Fellow Cultivator would wish to gamble a bit and maybe win big." Ouyang Long had a smile on his face, but he didn't dare to underestimate this youth in white. Three days ago, this person was able to find him and set such a big order. It was obvious this person had seen through his identity, which already meant that this person wasn't simple. And what happened at the market afterward had really shocked him.

"I'll be troubling Fellow Cultivator Ouyang." Wang Lin was polite as he followed Ouyang Long to the bottom of the pavilion. His divine sense was naturally spread out with caution. Everything he saw startled him, but he didn't reveal any of it.

The bottom of the pavilion was completely hollow and unexpectedly led to a stone platform 100,000 feet wide. There were many cultivators sitting around it, and the roars of fierce beasts were coming in.

There were two spirit beasts 1,000 feet large fighting each other on the platform. The roars of the two beasts echoed.

There were also arm-like passages hanging around the platform. These were round and seemed to have rows of windows.

Wang Lin and Ouyang Long were in one of the passages.

"This is the the beast gambling arena of the continent of Peng Lai. If you find any spirit beast you fancy, why not bet on it?" Ouyang Long led Wang Lin and laughed.

Wang Lin silently nodded.

The two of them moved quickly and arrived at the end of the passage. Before them were two cultivators with decent cultivation levels and a closed, stone gate between them.

Ouyang Long looked at Wang Lin. He pondered a bit and said, "Today's auction will be held by my Uncle-Master, and he invited some fellow cultivators to participate. It can be considered a small, private auction. If you're interested, you can also put something up for sale. My Uncle-Master will begin our trade with you once the auction is over.

"Fellow Cultivator, I'm still puzzled about something. I hope Fellow Cultivator can resolve my doubt."

"Please speak fellow cultivator Ouyang." Wang Lin nodded.

"How did fellow cultivator know my identity?" Ouyang Long stared at Wang Lin. If someone had introduced him, it would've been fine, but this person had unexpectedly found him while he was at his own private stall. This person was also sure he had more origin crystals and had secretly pointed out his identity.

Wang Lin faintly smiled.

Chapter 1172 - The Circle of Nirvana Shatterer

Wang Lin didn't say the specific reason and simply avoided the topic.

The more he was like this, the more strange Ouyang Long felt. He felt the ordinary-looking youth in white was shrouded in mystery.

Ouyang Long couldn't make Wang Lin answer by force, so he could only smile and shake his head. He no longer mentioned this matter and instead reminded Wang Lin, "Fellow Cultivator, this is a private auction. According to the rules, the thing they hate the most are those who hide their appearance." After that, they arrived at the end of the tunnel and he knocked on the stone door a few times.

A moment later, the stone door trembled and ripples spread out in a circle on its surface as if it was melting. Ouyang Long looked back at Wang Lin before disappearing into the ripples.

Wang Lin pondered a bit and didn't cover his appearance. Since he dared to come, he wasn't afraid of causing trouble. He walked into the ripples and disappeared.

His vision blurred. When his vision was clear again, his eyes narrowed. He looked around and saw that this was a room about 100 feet wide. The floor was made of some unknown material that was transparent so you could see the fierce beasts battling below.

There were some seats scattered around the room with one at the center. There were seven cultivators sitting in their chairs, and none of them were hiding their faces. When Wang Lin entered, all their gazes gathered on him.

These people's gazes were like swords and were extremely sharp. Their gazes seemed almost solid and could make anyone feel chills. One of them was startled for a moment after seeing Wang Lin, but he soon returned to normal and smiled.

The person sitting in the seat in the front was an old man with silver hair wearing a grey robe. His eyes were slightly open, but there was a hidden flash of light in his eyes when he looked at Wang Lin. This cultivator was at the mid stage of Nirvana Shatterer. Behind him, Ouyang Long bent over and whispered something into his ear.

Wang Lin's expression was neutral as he walked forward before everyone's gazes. He arrived before a set and calmly sat down. His eyes were calm as he looked at the crowd before clasping his hands at the person that had smiled at him.

Wu Qing didn't expect to see Wang Lin here and was surprised. However, for Wang Lin to be able to enter a private auction like this made Wu Qing think even more highly of him.

As Wang Lin casually swept his gaze, everyone present, aside from the old man that was obviously Ouyang Long's uncle-master and Wu Qing, was at the early stage of Nirvana Shatterer!

The person sitting opposite of Wang Lin was a young scholar with a fair complexion. He gently waved the feather fan in his hand, revealing no emotion. When Wang Lin looked at him, he looked back at Wang Lin with a hint of interest in his eyes.

There was a beautiful woman sitting beside him. She was wearing a beautiful, flower dress and sat there with a hint of laziness. She took one look at Wang Lin and then no longer paid any attention to him.

There was an old man sitting not far away. His appearance was very strange; his face was filled with scars and looked terrifying at first glance. He had a gloomy expression as he kept rotating the ring on his right forefinger.

Aside from those three people, the other two also looked at the calm Wang Lin.

Not far to the left sat an old man in black. This old man was skinny and had eagle claw-like hands. There were two balls the size of a baby's fist in his left hand. The balls kept rotating around each other and would sometimes make some sound when they collided.

The last person was an old woman with snow white hair, wrinkly skin, and a green robe. She sat there motionlessly. Shen Wang Lin's gaze swept by, her eyes were like lightning, and she coldly looked at Wang Lin again.

This was obviously a small auction meant only for Nirvana Shatterer cultivators. To enter here, one had to have the identity and strength. If it wasn't for the fact that Wang Lin had easily injured the three people from the Devil Collection Sect and his transaction was quite large, it would have been difficult for him to enter here.

Even though he had entered this place, he was at the bottom in everyone else's eyes.

After Ouyang Long finished speaking with the old man, he stood straight and respectfully stood on the side.

The old man let out a dry cough and his gaze swept past the cultivators in the room. His hoarse voice echoed within the room.

"Today is a private meeting that I, Master Ashen Pine, have set up. Everyone invited is my old friend, and, of course, we do have two new friends as well. I won't bother with polite words. According to the old rules, let us set the first bet for the jackpot." After the old man finish speaking, Ouyang Lon immediately stepped forward and took out six pieces of jade. He passed them out to everyone, including Wang Lin, and respectfully handed the last one to the old man.

Wang Lin held up the jade and his divine sene swept it. He immediately saw information of more than 100 fierce beasts inside.

"There is even a sword lion beast! This old man will bet on this beast!" The old man covered in scars laughed. His divine sense made an adjustment to the jade and then he threw it at Ouyang Long.

Wang Lin calmly checked each fierce beast inside the jade. He wasn't knowledgeable about fierce beasts. Everything he knew came from the records of the Origin Sect, which was not enough. Most of the fierce beasts inside were not in the Origin Sect's records.

Wang Lin gained a lot knowledge about fierce beasts as he checked the jade. Seeing how most of the others had thrown their jades, Wang Lin chose a beast called "Wind Cloud," placed 100 celestial jades, and threw it back at Ouyang Long.

The white-haired old man smiled and said, "Today I want to see which one of us has the best judgement. We will know the answer later. Now, I have three treasures here. If any of you are interested, you are free to make an offer." As the old man spoke, he waved his right hand and three crystals flew out and floated in the air.

The first item was a flying sword. It was made of crystal and gave off a cold aura. There was a red line moving inside it, giving this flying sword an evil aura.

The second item was a broken armor. It gave off an ancient aura as if the passage of time had carved itself onto it.

The third item was a pill. This pill was completely black and didn't have the fragrance of pills. Instead, it gave off a terrifying aura, which made Wang Lin's gaze linger on it for a moment.

"The first item is the Blood Crystal Sword. I killed almost 1,000 rank 8 fierce beasts and used all their blood to refine this. I also asked Senior Dao Ye to enlighten it when I made it, so its power increased greatly. The line of blood inside contains a strange poison, making it so that on top of injuring the body, even the origin soul will be poisoned."

"Senior Dao Ye enlightened it?" The beautiful young woman in the flower dress waved her hand and the blood crystal sword flew into her hand. After taking a closer look, she let go of the sword and it flew back.

"The second item has a set of spells recorded on it, but it is broken, so it is impossible to cultivate. What a pity. As for the third item, it will depend on you fellow cultivators' insight. If you want to exchange, you must follow my rule: I only want celestial jades." The old man smiled and looked at everyone.

Aside from Wang Lin and the old woman in green, who didn't move, the other four all looked at the treasures one by one. The beautiful woman bought the crystal sword. As for the specific price, no one else knew.

As for the fragment, no one asked any questions. Wang Lin's expression was calm as he waved his right hand and the fragment flew into his hand. His divine sense spread out over it, but he wasn't focused on the spells inside and instead was focused on the material.

This fragment was like a bone, but after looking carefully, it didn't look like it was one. Wang Lin couldn't help but ponder.

The middle-aged scholar held the black pill in his hand and sniffed it. He revealed a look of hesitation as he turned toward the old man and said,

"Master Ashen Pine, I offer 500 celestial jades for this pill!"

Master Ashen Pine shook his head and slowly said, "A hundredfold!"

After he spoke, all the surrounding cultivators' eyes narrowed and looked at the pill. These cultivators were all at the Nirvana Shatterer stage and therefore wouldn't display their emotions. Although they all looked at the pill, outsiders would find it hard to see through what they were thinking.

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment before revealing a smile. After he heard the price, he was convinced of his own speculation. He put the pill away and nodded at Master Ashen Pine.

Master Ashen Pine smiled as his gaze fell on Wang Lin and he laughed. "Does Fellow Cultivator fancy this?"

Wang Lin looked up, revealing a look of hesitation. He thought for a bit and said, "This thing is useless, but I'm interested in rare things, so I offer 100 celestial jades."

Master Ashen Pine pondered slightly and then waved his hand with a laugh. "I originally didn't intent to sell it and mainly wanted to see if any of you would recognize it. Since Fellow Cultivator likes it, then I'll gift it to you."

Wang Lin clasped his hands to say his thanks and put away the fragment.

The old man holding the two balls slowly said, "This old man was really blind. I didn't expect that pill to really be the Chaotic Origin Pill that can threaten Nirvana Shatterer cultivators. However, just one pill isn't strong enough."

As he spoke, the old man waved his hand and two items flew out. They floated in the air.

They were a red feather and a bubble the size of a head. There was a beast soul inside the bubble. Half of the beast was dragon and the other half was fog. It was struggling in an attempt to escape from the bubble.

The moment these two items were taken out, everyone looked over at them. The moment Wang Lin saw the red feather, he was shocked, but he concealed it very well, so none of it showed.

"The first item is the rumored feather of the Vermillion Bird. Although it is difficult to distinguish if it's real, the fire origin energy in it is strong. The second item needs no introduction. It is a semi-fog rank 12 beast soul. I don't have as many rules as Master Ashen Pine and will take anything in exchange as long as I like it." After the old man finished speaking, he silently examined everyone.

"Unfortunately, it is only a half-fog beast… what a pity!" Wu Qing looked at the fierce beast in the bubble and shook his head with a sigh.

"If it was a real fog beast, why would I sell it?" The old man codly snorted.

Wu Qing faintly smiled. He didn't speak, and it was impossible tell if he was happy or angry.

The two things this skinny old man had taken out aroused the attention of everyone here. Wang Lin let out a sigh. He was interested in the rank 12 beast, but its price would not be low, and because it was semi-fog, its value would be even higher.

As a result, there were more people offering on it.

However, the old man still didn't nod, which made the surrounding cultivators frown.

Master Ashen Pine stared at the bubble and his eyes lit up. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and passed the old man a message. The old man's expression changed for the first time, but after pondering for a bit, he shook his head.

Master Ashen Pine let out a sigh and no longer offered.

Just at this moment, the old woman that wasn't moved by any treasure waved her right hand and a jade flew toward the old man in black. The old man scanned the jade with his divine sense and his eyes shined like never before. He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time but still didn't nod.

"I'll add a map of the rank 6 region! I personally made this chart and collected information for a long time. Although I don't dare to say it covers everything, at least 30% of the rank 6 region is inside. There are also several wild continents that only I know of." The old woman's voice was hoarse as she slowly spoke.

"I don't want your star map. Add another 10,000 celestial jades!" The old man in black opened his eyes, and his voice was resolute!

The old woman frowned and slowly said, "I don't have the celestial jades, only this star map!" She looked at the spirit beast inside the bubble. She was tempted by this and had given a good price, but the other still didn't agree.

Wang Lin's eyes lit up. After pondering a bit, he softly said, "I'll take this star map for 10,000 celestial jades." Wang Lin looked at the old woman in green.

This old woman looked meaningfully at Wang Lin. She nodded and threw a jade at Wang Lin.

After they finished the exchange, Wang Lin put the jade away.

The old woman and the old man in black's trade was also successful. The old man smiled and nodded at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's 10,000 celestial jades caused the old monsters here to pay him a bit of attention. However, 10,000 celestial jades wasn't that shocking of an amount. After looking at Wang Lin, their gazes fell on the feather.

The old man with the face filled with scars touched the ring on his finger and slowly said, "The Vermillion Bird from back then is dead and its whole body exploded in flames, so this feather is obviously not an original. I offer 3,000 celestial jades."

"5,000 celestial jades." Wu Qing faintly smiled.

"This feather is indeed beautiful. I'll offer 8,000 celestial jades." The beautiful young woman chuckled and her voice was very pleasant.

Wang Lin's expression was calm as he withdrew his gaze from the feather and slowly said, "10,000 celestial jades." He had to obtain this feather!

After hearing Wang Lin say "10,000 celestial jades" again, even the young scholar revealed a hint of shock. He carefully looked at Wang Lin.

The beautiful woman's eyes narrowed and she softly said, "This little friend has a lot of celestial jades, but this feather is indeed pretty, so I'm reluctant to let it go."

The old man covered in scars looked at Wang Lin, then he put on a fake smile and said, "13,000 celestial jades."

Wu Qing's expression remained the same and he said, "15,000 celestial jades." After he finished, he looked at Wang Lin. He didn't need this feather, but since he saw Wang Lin bid, he was tempted and wanted to see how many celestial jades this person had. At this moment, he had already completely forgotten about the middle-aged man telling him not to provoke Wang Lin.

The beautiful woman chuckled and sent a message to the old man in black.

The old man in black looked at the beautiful young woman and said, "This is an auction' there is no need to secretly send me offers. Whoever offers the highest price will obtain it."

"20,000 celestial jades." The beautiful woman wasn't annoyed and said her price.

Wang Lin was calm. He pondered a bit and then said, "30,000."

After he spoke, the surroundings immediately became quiet. The beautiful woman looked at Wang Lin again, and her eyes became serious. A person who was able to take out 30,000 celestial jades must've had a big power behind them, even if they weren't at the Nirvana Shatterer stage. And this person was able to come to Master Ashen Pine's private auction, so he couldn't be simple. One couldn't only look at someone's cultivation level.

After pondering for a moment, the beautiful woman shook her head and no longer offered.

Not only her, but even the old man covered in scars looked at Wang Lin and shook his head. He didn't continue to bid. They were people who were here to trade, so they naturally wouldn't deliberately make it difficult for each other.

The young scholar looked at Wang Lin with even more interest. He had already noticed that when Wang Lin first entered, he was extremely calm when facing all these Nirvana Shatterer cultivators. There wasn't the slightest hint of discomfort.

If it was another Nirvana Cleanser cultivator, they would have been frightened silly and wouldn't dare to compete with a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator for treasures.

This point was enough to explain the problem. This person must've had something that allowed him to remain this calm.

The pupils of the old woman in green who got the beast soul shrank. She looked at Wang Lin and began to ponder.

Master Ashen Pine still smiled and watched everything. He wasn't surprised that Wang Lin had a lot of celestial jades. Just the deposit he had given Ouyang Long included thousands of celestial jades. This alone proved Wang Lin's courage and determination.

The old man in black laughed. He was about to speak, but at this moment, Wu Qing laughed. "35,000 celestial jades. Fellow Cultivator Lu, it isn't that this old man wants to compete with you. I'm doing this because I have great use for it."

"40,000." Wang Li frowned.

"45,000 celestial jades." Wu Qing still smiled. He wanted to see if the person before him would top his bet or not.

"50,000!" Wang Lin's expression gradually turned cold.

"55,000 celestial jades!" Wu Qing still smiled. Everyone here was an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years, so they immediately saw through his intent of playing Wang Lin.

The beautiful woman frowned. Not only her, but all the other old monsters also frowned. They had all come here to trade and found this kind of behavior extremely disgusting unless there was a feud.

Even Master Ashen Pine revealed a hint of unhappiness.

"Since Fellow Cultivator Wu is going to compete with me to the end." Wang Lin was angry, but he smiled and looked profoundly at Wu Qing.

"I don't want it anymore." After Wang Lin finished speaking, he simply closed his eyes to cover the killing intent within.

Wu Qing's eyes lit up and he laughed. "Thank for letting me win." With that, he took the jade and made the deal with the old man in black.

Due to Wu Qing's interruption, the auction gradually calmed down. Everyone else took out things they wanted to sell and even Wang Lin took out a few things.

It didn't take long for this auction to end, and everyone left one by one. As for the result of the bet, it would take some time to get, so there was no rush.

"That person has a lot of celestial jades…" Even when Wu Qing left, he was still smiling. He looked at Wang Lin before walking out from the room.

At this moment, Wang Lin and Master Ashen were the only ones left in the room. As for Ouyang Long, he had left accompanying the other old monsters.

"It was the first time Wu Qing was invited by this old man. I didn't think he would act like this. This is my fault for not recognizing his nature, which might have brought Fellow Cultivator some trouble." Master Ashen Pine shook his head as if he was unhappy about Wu Qing's action.

"No problem." Wang Lin remained calm.

Master Ashen Pine pondered a bit and said, "How about this: Fellow Cultivator can say in the main city for a while. After the auction is over, me and few of my old friends will be heading out. We can send you off so that Wu Qing won't dare to have any malicious thoughts about you."

Without waiting for Wang Lin's answer, Master Ashen Pine's expression became serious and he said, "Fellow Cultivator want to trade for 5,000 origin crystals. Is this true?"

Wang Lin nodded but didn't speak.

Master Ashen Pine's right hand reached at the void and opened his storage space. He took out a storage bag and threw it at Wang Lin. He then stared at Wang Lin with shining eyes. No one could see through his thoughts.

Wang Lin caught the bag and checked it with his divine sense. There were 5,000 origin crystals inside. Origin crystals were extremely rare in the Cloud Sea, and 5,000 origin crystals was an astronomical amount. It was unknown how Master Ashen Pine had obtained so many.

After putting away the bag, Wang Lin opened his own storage space and took out the bag he had prepared with celestial jades. He threw it at Master Ashen Pine, who caught it, and after checking it with his divine sense, revealed a smile.

"Do you still have more Chaotic Origin Pills?" Wang Lin looked at Master Ashen Pine.

"I obtained the Chaotic Origin Pills by accident from inside a relic. There were only nine, and I still have great use for the other eight." Master Ashen Pine declined.

Wang Lin no longer said anymore and got up to leave.

After Wang Lin left, Master Ashen Pine's smile disappeared and he muttered, "My origin crystals are not something that can be taken so easily…"

After walking out from the room, Wang Lin's expression was neutral and he let out a cold snort. Since he had dared to come here, he wasn't worried about people finding out he had so many celestial jades. Just like Master Ashen Pine, who was only a member of the Treasured Jade Sect but had so many origin crystals.

Thinking about the origin crystals, Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat and he left through the passage.

"That Master Ashen Pine definitely has evil intentions, but he doesn't know that my intentions are more vicious than his! 5,000 origin crystals aren't enough for me to nourish that mutated beast. If I want the mosquito beast to rank up with that mutated beast and be able to protect me in the Wind Celestial Realm, I need enough origin crystals!"

After leaving the passage, Wang Lin met Ouyang Long along the way. Ouyang Long led Wang Lin back to the pavilion and Wang Lin left. The sky was no longer bright and the noise had subsided.

Wang Lin stopped after walking several steps in this calm street. A ripple appeared behind him and the old woman who got the beast soul walked out. She coldly looked at Wang Lin before waving her right hand and throwing out a jade.

"There are errors on that star map. This is the real one! Be careful of Wu Qing!" With that, she no longer paid any attention to Wang Lin and disappeared.

Wang Lin held the jade and swept it with his divine sense before putting it away. When he turned around, his expression turned cold.

"The cultivation world respects the strong. Trying to hide all the time is not good. I should do the opposite of what I normally do and be arrogant for once. This should dispel some people's suspicions. Wu Qing… If you're looking for death, then I'll grant your wish!" Wang Lin flew out from the city with a sneer. He flew off the floating stone and charged to a plain in the west.

Shortly after he left, another ray of light flew out. It was Wu Qing chasing after Wang Lin!

A storm began to brew. Wu Qing's departure caught the attention of many powerful cultivators that knew why he was leaving…

"It's a pity…" In the main city, the old woman in green revealed a sigh of pity and shook her head.
