Chapter 1060: Alliance Secrets – Second Update

Summon Wind and Call Rain, Sow Beans to Make Soldiers, Mountain Collapse and Earth Split, the cloudy moon has clear skies.

Immortal Emperor Bai Fan created six great immortal arts. Wang Lin had already fully comprehended the first three forms. Qing Shui had once said that the power of the latter three Divine Abilities far exceeded the first three, enough to shake the heavens and earth!

This Mountain Collapse technique was the first of the latter three forms. Mountain Collapse took its meaning from the collapse of the mountains of heaven and earth. However, while a mountain collapsing sounds simple, it was actually extremely complex. A mountain has a mountain soul; if only the mountain body collapsed but the soul did not, its power would be ordinary.

Only when the soul and body collapsed simultaneously could one possess the power of Mountain Collapse! In a place with continuous mountain ranges, one could unleash the power of the Mountain Collapse immortal art, but this was merely the first step.

The true Mountain Collapse technique should be like Qing Shui's: in a land without mountains, use one's heart and mind to conjure a mountain, using form as the mountain, collapsing the form to collapse the mountain. By fusing immortal power into one's Divine Thought to become the mountain's soul, the moment the mountain collapsed would be the moment the immortal power and Divine Thought collapsed.

Borrowing this power to fuse with heaven and earth, conjuring countless mountain peaks, making them real from the false, possessing the great Divine Ability to collapse heaven and earth!

The key to this Mountain Collapse immortal art was not the splitting of the mountain and soul, nor the conjuring of the heart and mind, and even less the Fusion of immortal power and Divine Thought, but rather the word "True"!

How to make the conjured, illusory scene become a real existence—this was the crux of the Mountain Collapse technique! It was also the most difficult part!

Watching the volcanic eruption in the distance and feeling the intent of collapse from the volcano beneath him, Wang Lin opened his eyes, revealing a hint of confusion.

"Wan Er… what exactly is true… what is false…"

Wang Lin's words were destined to receive no answer. He silently gazed into the distance, sensing all the fluctuations of heaven and earth around him, his brows gradually furrowing.

"How can a mountain conjured by Divine Thought become real…" On this point, Qing Shui had not explicitly told Wang Lin, and the insights regarding Qing Shui left in Wang Lin's heart and mind were very vague.

It seemed that for all of this, it was Qing Shui's wish for Wang Lin to comprehend it himself, rather than passing it on as a Legacy.

"True… False… Is it perhaps the same as life and death, cause and effect…" Wang Lin closed his eyes again, pondering continuously. Outside his body, the continuous eruption of the volcano became increasingly violent, even triggering volcanoes further away to begin erupting.

In an instant, Wang Lin's surroundings were almost enveloped in endless magma, connecting into one piece, without beginning or end.

Time seemed eternal, and he did not know how long had passed. When Wang Lin opened his eyes again, he was still confused. In his silence, he slapped the coffin in front of him, and the coffin immediately dissipated into a stream of light. Wang Lin stood up, leaped, and actually dove directly into the volcanic crater.

Thick magma erupted, but it could not stop Wang Lin's figure. He sped through the magma inside the volcano, gradually reaching the deep bottom of the volcano.

Sitting cross-legged there, Wang Lin performed Hand Seals and suddenly waved toward both sides. His eyes shone with a sharp light, and he closed them again.

"I will not concern myself with whether it is true or false. If there is no truth in the affairs of this world, then naturally there is no falsehood. Truth and falsehood are merely a form of existence. Whether it is true or false, both are relative, just like life and death!"

"If there were no life in this world, then naturally there would be no death. Without cause, there would likewise be no effect… Mo Zhi once said that all Concepts are insights of the heart and mind; everything appears only when the heart moves…"

The moment Wang Lin closed his eyes, his entire body's fire-elemental power roared into motion, rushing madly out of his body to fuse with the magma, gradually becoming one.

It was as if, at this moment, he was the magma!

Furthermore, after fusing with the magma, Wang Lin's fire-elemental power spread again, fusing with the volcano that enclosed the magma, and finally, they became one again.

It did not end there. As Wang Lin's fire-elemental power spread, the magma, the volcano, the rolling black smoke, and even the fire-elemental power in this heaven and earth, all fused into one at this instant.

At this very moment, Wang Lin felt a vicissitudinous aura slowly wafting from within the volcano. This vicissitudinous aura was the soul of the volcano!

The moment he sensed this volcano soul, the Primordial Spirit within Wang Lin's body materialized from within him and fused with the volcano once more.

In this instant, Wang Lin had a feeling that he was this volcano!

With Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit merging into that vicissitudinous volcano soul, Wang Lin faintly saw scenes flickering before him. He saw a burning planet where, with the shaking of the earth, a mountain peak was gradually born, its interior filled with fire-elemental power.

As time passed, this fire-elemental power gradually became magma. Finally, upon reaching its limit, the top of the mountain peak collapsed, and thick magma erupted.

He saw the mountain peak gradually calm down after the eruption; he saw Vicious Beasts that could survive here roaring past, and he saw Vermilion Bird Sect Disciples of the past flying by.

As the heat waves blew, some plant seeds that could exist here fell onto the mountain peak, gradually transforming into crimson grasses that covered the mountains and plains, withering and then growing again.

It cycled continuously. He did not know how much time had passed when the earth shook, and the mountain peak erupted once again.

Tens of thousands of years flashed before Wang Lin's eyes. Gradually, Wang Lin seemed to have forgotten his original intention, forgotten his identity as a Cultivator, as if he had truly become this volcano, becoming the soul within it.

Those repeated volcanic eruptions seemed to be his repeated catharses. At this moment, Wang Lin had an epiphany without realizing it.

"I am the volcano… My anger is the Mountain Collapse!" Following this epiphany, Wang Lin's heart and mind suddenly spread madly toward the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, every volcano in the vicinity was within his heart and mind.

His heart and mind dispersed further, merging into those volcanoes, fusing with their mountain bodies, and touching their mountain souls. More scenes surged into Wang Lin's mind.

He saw more volcanic collapses and felt more of the mountain's anger. As his Primordial Spirit dispersed again, it gradually permeated all the volcanoes on the entire planet.

At this moment, it was as if he had thousands of Clones, and each one was a volcano!

"This is…" A Vermilion Bird Sect Elder, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, a look of confusion in them. But immediately, he looked sharply toward the direction of the volcano where Wang Lin was located.

"It is the Holy Emperor!" Although this aura was vicissitudinous, as an Elder with a cultivation of shattered nirvana, the old man naturally distinguished it immediately, but his heart was extremely shocked.

He was shocked that although this aura belonged to the Holy Emperor, it was completely different from the little Cultivator in his memory. Previously, in his eyes, Wang Lin was merely a Nirvana Scrutiny Cultivator who had cultivated for less than two thousand years. Although this group of Elders accepted Wang Lin on the surface, they were actually somewhat resentful in their hearts.

But now, the vicissitudes contained within this aura made even him feel like a junior in its presence! In horror, the old man leaped up immediately. When he flew into mid-air, he immediately sensed that the other three Elders on this Cultivation Planet had all appeared.

The Divine Senses of the other three people revealed shock, clearly identical to what this old man had discovered.

Furthermore, at this instant, all the Vermilion Bird Sect members on this Cultivation Planet suddenly woke up from their meditation. They could clearly feel that in the instant just now, a very vicissitudinous Divine Thought had swept across.

If that were all, it would be fine. Although these four Elders were slightly shocked, it was not enough to affect them too deeply. However, the scene that followed made these four old men gasp!

This Divine Thought sweep permeated the entire Cultivation Planet. Suddenly, all the volcanoes on this Cultivation Planet seemed to have awakened, erupting simultaneously. The rumbling sound caused the entire Cultivation Planet to tremble, and the entire heaven and earth were completely replaced by that heaven-shaking and earth-shattering rumbling sound.

Moreover, at this moment, the vicissitudinous aura contained within the Divine Sense surged, as if, after gathering all the volcanoes, it possessed a feeling of the ages!

The sky was shrouded in black fog, and the earth flowed with crimson magma. At this instant, the four Elders' expressions changed drastically.

"All Vermilion Bird Sect Disciples, leave this Cultivation Planet immediately!" A low roar erupted like thunder from one of the old men's mouths. One by one, the Vermilion Bird Sect clansmen flew up, heading straight for the starry sky.

These four Elders also rushed out, taking all the clansmen on this Cultivation Planet and rushing out. In the starry sky, everyone wore looks of panic. The vast majority of them did not even know what had happened.

The four Elders' expressions were extremely gloomy, and they felt strong dissatisfaction in their hearts toward the new Holy Emperor who had caused all this!

But just at the moment their dissatisfaction arose, the Divine Sense that permeated the entire Cultivation Planet suddenly expanded again. This time, it actually expanded into the starry sky, passing over one Vermilion Bird Sect clansman after another, and continuously spreading within this burning Star Domain.

Under the expansion of this Divine Sense, another Cultivation Planet was permeated, immediately fusing with it.

The vicissitudinous aura became even more intense…

On that Cultivation Planet, numerous panicked Vermilion Bird Sect clansmen also flew out.

As this Divine Sense permeated, eventually all the Cultivation Planets in the Star Domain fused with it. As it continuously grew, gradually, an unimaginably vast Divine Sense appeared in this burning Star Domain!

All the Vermilion Bird Sect clansmen flew out from each Cultivation Planet, and Big Head and the others whom Wang Lin was familiar with were the same.

At this very moment, in the eastern part of the Alliance Star Domain, within the Four Saints Sect, outside the burning Star Domain where the Vermilion Bird Sect was located, a ripple fluctuated, and from within it, a person walked out!

This person was an old man with gray hair and wearing a red robe. If Wang Lin saw him, he would recognize him at a glance—he was Yan Leizi!

Almost as soon as Yan Leizi appeared, ripples echoed in the distance again, and a person walked out from within!

The moment this person appeared, a burst of yin cold qi spread out. This was a middle-aged man in a green shirt, looking extremely handsome, but his face was pale, as if he were a dead man. However, the cultivation fluctuations emanating from his body made Yan Leizi's pupils shrink.

"Luotian's Yan Leizi?" The middle-aged man's cold gaze swept over.

"One of the Nine Kings of the Corpse Yin Sect. I just don't know which King you are!" Yan Leizi's voice was calm, but his eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man.
