Chapter 1079: Alliance Secrets, New Rain Realm (First Update)
The void outside the great hall was pitch black. From far away, muffled sounds echoed. Getting closer, one could see some broken fragments of the Rain Realm drifting lonely in this void, as if they had no home.
In reality, they indeed had no home; they could only drift silently in the void, for eternity.
Inside the Formation, Qing Lin opened his eyes, revealing the vicissitudes of time. This former Immortal Emperor looked like an old man right now, even though… his face was that of a middle-aged man.
Yet, the moment he awakened, a thick scent of decay emanated from his body.
Azure Frost woke up shortly after. She glanced at the wound on her right arm and frowned. She moved her body, as if she had been asleep for too long, so long that she was not yet accustomed to the existence of her Physical Body upon waking.
Wang Wei and Hu Juan, who were sitting cross-legged, were pale but also opened their eyes one after another. Excitement appeared in Wang Wei's eyes, and he immediately knelt on the ground, looking at Qing Lin respectfully and trembling.
"Master… Master… You…"
Hu Juan also looked nervously at Qing Lin, who had sat up, and bit her lower lip.
Qing Lin smiled slightly, looked carefully at this couple of beloved Disciples from the past, and said softly, "These years, you have worked hard…"
"Master!!" Wang Wei's body shook violently, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. He had hoped for countless years, waited for countless years. All of this was for the Master's awakening. For this matter, he had lived in the Demon Spirit Land for many years. All because of the grace of Immortal Emperor Qing Lin taking him as a Disciple back then!
Wang Wei would never forget that back in the Immortal Realm, he was just an obscure little Qi Refining Cultivator. It was the Master who gave him a new life, gave him the cultivation to reach the Peak, and likewise, gave him a lifetime of happiness.
At this time, Zhou Yi also opened his eyes, staring blankly at Azure Frost beside him. Although there was bitterness and sorrow in his heart, there was even more peace.
"Senior Qing Lin, this Junior has a request." Wang Lin withdrew his gaze from the void and looked at Qing Lin.
"Are you asking as a Junior, or as this old man's Disciple?" Qing Lin's calm gaze landed on Wang Lin.
"…Master, this person is a close friend of this Disciple. He is afflicted with Immortal poison…" Wang Lin was silent for a moment, then pointed at Situ Nan, who had been watching them, and said respectfully.
Qing Lin's expression remained normal. His gaze swept over Situ Nan, and he said slowly, "What astonishing Aptitude. Are you willing to take this old man as your Master?"
Although Situ Nan was unruly, when facing Qing Lin, he did not have the calmness of Wang Lin. After all, he had not participated in the entire process of saving Qing Lin and was extremely awestruck. Hearing this, he was startled, hesitated for a moment, and said respectfully, "This… this Disciple pays respects to Master…"
Just as he said this, Situ Nan raised his head and said, "However, Master, this… this Disciple has a free-spirited nature; you cannot restrict my freedom."
This added sentence made Qing Lin laugh out loud, and he said, "After you are cured, everything is up to you. Why would this old man restrict your freedom!"
After saying this, Qing Lin shook his head, his expression very kind. He stood up and placed his right hand on his daughter Azure Frost's shoulder, saying softly, "Azure Frost, lend me the Immortal Qi in your body."
As he spoke, an extremely strong suction force suddenly emanated from Qing Lin's right hand. Instantly, the Immortal Qi within Azure Frost surged, and a wisp separated and merged into Qing Lin's right hand.
This Immortal Qi was not much, only a wisp. It was so little that even the small amount of Immortal Qi previously within Wang Lin's body exceeded this wisp countless times. But in Qing Lin's right hand, this wisp of Immortal Qi turned into a blinding golden light.
Although this light was not ten thousand zhang high, it instantly enveloped the great hall, causing this green-light hall to lose its green light in the blink of an eye, becoming a golden radiance like the sun.
Qing Lin's expression was calm as he walked forward slowly. He stepped out of the great hall's door, his whole person floating in the void. He watched the broken stones drifting by in the distance, looking at this home that used to be an Immortal Realm in his memory, his eyes revealing emotion and bitterness.
The current Immortal Realm had already collapsed for the most part. Even if there were fragment continents that had not completely collapsed, they were still torn apart and in the midst of collapsing.
It seemed that it would not be long before this Rain Realm would disappear from then on, becoming an existence in the memory of Cultivators. If another few tens of thousands of years passed, I am afraid even this memory would fade, until it was completely forgotten…
With a soft sigh, Qing Lin waved the golden light on his right hand forward. Immediately, this golden light drifted out, and suddenly the golden radiance soared to the sky, like a real sun, enveloping the entire void, illuminating everything!
Furthermore, within this golden light, strips of golden threads slowly appeared out of thin air. These golden threads intertwined with each other, connecting into a web-like shape, spreading rapidly in all directions. Within this web of golden threads, everything in the world's rules was condensed, and within this golden light, contained a vitality that nourished all living things.
As the golden light and golden threads spread, the entire Rain Immortal Realm was immediately enveloped within. Those fragment continents in the midst of collapse suddenly shook and stopped collapsing. Those drifting broken stones also stopped moving at this instant.
Those Vortexes formed due to the collapse also stopped their seemingly eternal rotation at this moment, motionless.
"Re-condense the Immortal Realm!" Qing Lin's voice was very low, yet it clearly fell into the ears of the people who had walked out of the great hall behind him. Wang Wei and Hu Juan's bodies trembled, and their eyes looking at Qing Lin were filled with reverence.
Azure Frost looked at her father's back without any expression. Since she had memories, this father seemed to have a spine that supported the Immortal Realm. He had no time to play with her when she was young, but was busy with the affairs of the Immortal Realm all day, busy Cultivating.
The day the Immortal Realm collapsed was still fresh in Azure Frost's memory even now. She knew that this Immortal Realm was where her father's heart and blood lay. Yet, watching this realm collapse and be destroyed with her own eyes, Qing Lin not only did not feel sorrow, but instead had a trace of relief.
This mood was very complicated, even she herself could not explain it clearly. But now, seeing her father re-condense the Immortal Realm, Azure Frost felt a trace of pain in her heart for some unknown reason.
Zhou Yi watched Azure Frost silently. When he saw the pain on Azure Frost's face, his heart also trembled slightly.
Following Qing Lin's words, the web composed of golden threads, after permeating the entire Immortal Realm, suddenly shrank. At the same time, the golden light surrounded it. Gradually, throughout the entire Rain Immortal Realm, the Vortexes disappeared silently.
The broken stones in various places, as if pulled by a force of heaven and earth, gathered together, approached the few remaining fragments, and gradually, in this void, formed a new fragment continent!
The entire Rain Realm was a void, with only this one fragment continent emitting waves of thick Immortal Qi. Outside this fragment continent, the web-like golden threads lingered and slowly spread onto the ground. Furthermore, as the golden light fell, green grass appeared on this barren land, and flowing water even extended from thin air.
Under the rumbling sounds, mountain after mountain rose, and majestic palaces appeared one after another.
The Rain Realm Venerable Hall behind Wang Lin also drifted away slowly at this moment, descending to the center of this only existing fragment continent, and with a boom, landed on it.
"From now on, here is the new Rain Immortal Realm!" Qing Lin's voice was calm, slowly echoing through heaven and earth.
Wang Lin sat on a high mountain in this new Rain Realm, feeling the Immortal Qi around him. In his mind echoed the might of the golden light from Qing Lin's right hand earlier. In that golden light, he clearly experienced the changes in rules, and there was even the existence of Origin power.
From the birth of this new Rain Realm until now, three days had passed. Situ Nan was taken into the Venerable Hall by Qing Lin. Wang Wei and Hu Juan also chose a palace nearby to live in quietly. From Wang Wei's expression, one could tell he was very happy.
His happiness was Hu Juan's joy. This couple had a happiness that made Wang Lin envious.
Thinking of the word happiness, Wang Lin turned to look into the distance. In front of him, amidst swirling Immortal clouds, there was an iceberg radiating cold air. On this iceberg was where Azure Frost resided.
Azure Frost's personality was extremely cold. Even towards her father, she did not speak much, only speaking more when facing Hu Juan. After the new Rain Realm was formed, Azure Frost used her Divine Ability to create an iceberg, living on it silently, and did not welcome anyone to go up.
Only, Wang Lin's gaze clearly saw that beneath the iceberg, Zhou Yi was sitting cross-legged quietly, always looking up at the blurry figure on the iceberg, as if guarding, just like he had guarded the corpse two thousand years ago.
"Azure Frost's awakening might not necessarily be a kind of happiness for Brother Zhou…" Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and looked at the blue sky. This new Rain Realm had no space Rifts and was extremely stable.
Behind him, the silver-clothed female corpse sat there silently, her gaze occasionally falling on Wang Lin, but she would immediately look away quickly.
During the three days Wang Lin sat there, besides the golden light rules of Qing Lin echoing in his mind, more importantly, he was constantly memorizing the insights he had gained within Qing Lin's Sea of Consciousness.
His cultivation, after leaving the Sea of Consciousness, did not ascend to the sky in one step; it was still at the Early Stage of the Purifying Nirvana, but within his body, there was now a seed of the Third Step, a seed for rules, for Dao, and for pursuit.
This was the fortune that Qing Lin had gifted him.
Back when the Heaven Defying was first opened, Wang Lin saw the Third Step under the gate of the Heaven Defying, but that was merely seeing it… Right now, Qing Lin's fortune allowed him to experience the Divine Ability of the Third Step. For Wang Lin, this was extremely precious, making the direction of his advancement much clearer.
In the midst of constant enlightenment, a weary voice transmitted to his mind, slowly echoing.
"Wang Lin, come see me."
Wang Lin looked up at the Rain Realm Venerable Hall, stood up, and took a step out, walking calmly towards the Venerable Hall. Not long after, he arrived and stepped inside.
As soon as he entered the Venerable Hall, Wang Lin's feet could not help but pause. In front of him, an old man was sitting cross-legged. This person's appearance was vaguely similar to Qing Lin's. Looking closely, it was clearly Immortal Emperor Qing Lin.
Only his face, for some reason, had aged.
"Sit," Qing Lin said slowly.
Wang Lin sat cross-legged opposite Qing Lin, his expression calm.
