Chapter 1113: Peak of the Cloud Sea — Calmness in the Face of Great Events

In this change, the Origin Energy Wang Lin unleashed was not gentle in the slightest; instead, it transformed into a massive, mountain-like pressure that directly landed on the middle-aged man at close range.

But just as it was about to land, the middle-aged man suddenly looked up, his expression instantly becoming ferocious, and a destructive aura flickered from within him, about to erupt.

Wang Lin's expression remained cold. After unleashing the Origin Energy, he grabbed at the Void Realm with his right hand. A storage rift instantly appeared, and the iron sword in his hand swept forward.

The sword light whistled, and the middle-aged man, who was about to self-destruct, trembled. A bloodstain appeared on his neck, and blood sprayed out. What died was not only his Physical Body, but also his weakened Primordial Spirit.

He kept his eyes open, staring intently at Wang Lin. His head fell off, rolling several feet on the ground, his dim gaze still filled with ferocity.

His dying scheme was not clever. For those who knew about the Jade Slip and Pill Formula, it was indeed tempting, but Wang Lin knew nothing about any of this.

Moreover, the most important thing was that after Wang Lin entered this valley, the first corpse he saw, and the four subsequent ones, although similar in appearance—all were cases of the Physical Body rotting from poison—

In reality, there were still some subtle differences. Wang Lin was naturally cautious, and although the difference was not great, he still noticed it.

The first corpse truly died from poison. The subsequent four, however, were not; they were killed first, and only then did their Physical Bodies rot from poison. Especially the placement of those four corpses, Wang Lin had a guess in his heart.

These four people were clearly killed by the middle-aged man for some unknown reason, or perhaps, as this person said, these four were his Disciples, or perhaps these four were the Disciples of the Poisonous Hag.

In short, Wang Lin did not want to understand the Karma of this matter. He only knew that the middle-aged man's previous claim of losing all his Origin Energy was a lie.

A dying person still lying must have something to gain. For such a person, Wang Lin unhesitatingly chose to kill!

"You were going to die anyway; you just died a few breaths earlier." He looked down at the middle-aged man's headless Physical Body, which was covered in blood and began to rot within moments, his clothes turning into fragments.

"Jade Slip and Pill Formula…" Wang Lin's eyes showed contemplation. The Poisonous Hag besieging this middle-aged man was definitely after this Jade Slip and Pill Formula.

"What kind of Jade Slip and Pill Formula could cause a life-and-death struggle between Pure Nirvana Cultivators, and even allow a Middle Stage Pure Nirvana Cultivator to dare to trap and kill a Late Stage Pure Nirvana Cultivator?"

"This person's original plan was to self-destruct. Once he died, his storage space would dissipate, but with sufficient cultivation, it wouldn't be impossible to open his sealed storage space after death. It wouldn't be very difficult to retrieve the items within.

Also, what he said just now clearly mistook me for not being a single person, but a sect… With such a judgment, this struggle over the Jade Slip and Pill Formula is a battle between sects… He said earlier that his Disciples were poisoned by the Poisonous Hag of the Five Poisons Sect… The old woman I killed was clearly the Poisonous Hag of this Five Poisons Sect.

And that Poisonous Hag immediately launched a killing move after seeing me, clearly also making a judgment in her heart that I represented another sect.

Most importantly, the Poisonous Hag said a sentence before attacking: 'You came so fast…' Wang Lin suddenly looked up at the sky, his pupils contracting.

"Could it be that a large number of Cultivators from various sects are rushing towards this place? If so, to cause sect-level involvement, the value of this Jade Slip and Pill Formula must be extremely high!" Wang Lin took a deep breath, his eyes flickering.

"If seventy percent of my analysis is true, then this middle-aged man must care extremely about this Jade Slip and Pill Formula. Since he knows that storage spaces can be opened, he probably wouldn't put the Jade Slip and Pill Formula inside…" Wang Lin looked down, sweeping his gaze across the valley, finally focusing on the four Disciple skeletons on the ground, gradually narrowing his eyes.

"If I were him, what would I do in such a situation… Would I keep it in the storage space, or hide it somewhere else…?" Wang Lin fell silent, closing his eyes, putting himself into the role of that middle-aged man.

A moment later, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes, a strange light flashing within them. His Divine Sense swept over the four Disciple skeletons on the ground, but he found nothing. Yet, he was not resigned. Instead, a flash of fire appeared in his left eye, and a mass of flames enveloped the four skeletons.

The crackling sound of burning echoed in the quiet valley. The four skeletons carried potent poison, which emitted an eerie glow under the burning flames. Soon, they were all refined into ashes.

But, within those ashes, a Jade Slip and a palm-sized beast bone fragment appeared!

A hint of excitement flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. With a grab at the Void Realm with his right hand, the Jade Slip and fragment immediately landed in his hand. His Divine Sense first swept over the Jade Slip, and Wang Lin's expression suddenly changed!

"Eighth-rank Potian Sect!!" Wang Lin took a deep breath, calming his mind, and looked at the other item, the beast bone fragment. Upon seeing it, even with Wang Lin's composure, he rarely heard his heart thumping, thumping faster.

His eyes even showed disbelief as he stared at the beast bone fragment in his hand, speechless for a long time.

"Nir… Nirvana Void Pill…" Although he didn't know what a Nirvana Void Pill was, he knew the meaning of the words 'Nirvana' and 'Void' to Great Divine Ability Cultivators!

Especially since there was a sentence on this Pill Formula that shocked Wang Lin's mind like a tolling bell, causing him to clench the beast bone fragment tightly, his eyes revealing monstrous ferocity. At this moment, anyone who tried to snatch this fragment from him would suffer Wang Lin's瘋狂 attack.

"Taking this pill offers a ten percent chance of transforming rules into Origin, becoming a third-step Cultivator like us! Taking this pill offers a fifty percent chance of passing the first tribulation of the Heavenly Human Five Decays! Taking this pill offers an eighty percent chance of entering the Divine Beginning Realm!"

After a long while, Wang Lin's expression returned to normal. Staring at the beast bone fragment in his hand, he immediately put it away along with the Jade Slip without hesitation. There was no time to examine it in detail. At this moment, Wang Lin was extremely certain that the value of this item was enough to cause a catastrophe in the cultivation world!

Currently, the news of this Pill Formula had clearly not spread too widely, but as the competition escalated, it would eventually shock the entire Cloud Sea Star Domain.

It had been a long time since he felt parched. Wang Lin licked his lips, carefully and cautiously cleaning up all his traces in the valley, and even took away the middle-aged man and another skeleton.

After ensuring no clues were left, Wang Lin transformed into a rainbow and flew out of the valley. With a wave of his right hand, he was about to collect the eight skull heads, but after a slight hesitation, Wang Lin decisively pointed at the Void Realm with his right hand. Immediately, one of the skull heads exploded, turning into countless fragments that fell inside and outside the valley.

His eyes flickered. Wang Lin's mind was rapidly working. He put away the remaining seven skull heads, pondered for a moment, then took out the Disciple skeleton that had died from poison, which he had just put into his storage space, and placed it back in its original position.

Then, he meticulously cleaned up the shattered skull head fragments inside and outside the valley, finally leaving only one piece in a very hidden spot.

Having done all this, Wang Lin took a deep breath, put away the silver-clad female corpse and the other seven skull heads, and transformed into a rainbow, rushing into the distance, chasing after the Black Ape.

"I've captured the Poisonous Hag's Primordial Spirit; I must not let her die! As long as she doesn't die, no one will know that today's events were done by an outsider. Instead, they will think that the Poisonous Hag took the Pill Formula and then hid to keep it for herself.

After all, there is still a fragment of her Magic Treasure in this valley, and also the skeleton that died from poison…" Time was short, and Cultivators from various sects could arrive at this Barren Continent at any moment. Wang Lin dared not stay too long and could only do what he had done.

At this moment, he no longer had the mind to continue snatching medicinal herbs. As he sped, he took a step, and his entire being immediately disappeared from his original spot. Under Shrinking the Ground into an Inch, he reappeared beside the Black Ape, which was running and leading Vicious Beasts.

As soon as the Black Ape saw Wang Lin, it immediately became excited, roaring repeatedly and pointing towards a mountain Peak to the side, clearly wanting to tell Wang Lin that there were more medicinal herbs there.

Wang Lin paid no attention. With a wave of his right hand at the Void Realm, he removed the yellow paper talisman from the Black Ape and instantly put the enormous Black Ape into his storage space. His body swayed, transforming into a rainbow and soaring into the sky, breaking through the mist. He also affixed the yellow paper talisman to his body, and even though his speed greatly increased, he was still not satisfied, so he took out another beast skin speed talisman and attached it to himself.

As a result, Wang Lin's speed reached its Peak. In a flash, he pierced through the star mist, rushing far out of this Barren Continent and stepping into the starry sky.

Even at this moment, his heart was still pounding wildly, with a dreamlike feeling. Everything that happened and everything he obtained on this Barren Continent still felt extremely unreal.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Wang Lin was very clear that if the news of the Pill Formula being on him leaked out, he would suffer endless pursuit within this Cloud Sea, even in the Thunder and Rain Realms. This was because this Pill Formula was enough to drive some Cultivators insane!

Especially those old monsters who had been in long-term seclusion, rarely venturing out, those at the Great Perfection of the Late Stage shattered nirvana, and those who had entered the Heavenly Human Five Decays—this Pill Formula could make them disregard everything!

"I absolutely cannot let anyone know that this item is in my hands." In the fifth-rank Star Domain, Wang Lin unleashed his speed, rushing forward. He dared not spread his Divine Sense, for he had a faint feeling that at this moment, in this fifth-rank Star Domain, there must be numerous Cultivators, all rushing towards the Barren Continent.

If he encountered himself rushing in a hurry along the way, it might arouse suspicion. This suspicion might not be great, but once these people went to the Barren Continent and discovered clues, they would definitely focus on everyone they had previously suspected.

The greater the matter, the more secrets one holds, the more one needs calmness and tranquility.

After rushing a certain distance, Wang Lin summoned the Black Ape and sat cross-legged on its shoulder, calming his mind, and letting the Black Ape fly towards the Moruo Continent, where the Guiyuan Sect was located.

It would take several days to reach the Moruo Continent from here. Although Wang Lin was eager to leave, his expression was as calm as usual, as if nothing had happened on the Barren Continent. Sitting on the Black Ape's back, he looked like a true Cultivator of the Cloud Sea Star Domain.

Several hours later, Wang Lin had already moved far away from the Barren Continent, and there were several other Barren Continents nearby, making it impossible for anyone to distinguish where Wang Lin had come from.

Just then, Wang Lin's calm eyes suddenly contracted, but quickly returned to normal.

Distant rainbows whistled, getting closer and closer!
