Chapter 1120: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Li Qianmei

With one sweep of its leg, it instantly killed an eighth-rank Vicious Beast. Although this eighth-rank Vicious Beast could contend with a Great Perfection Pure Nirvana Cultivator, it was not a Cultivator itself and could not use Magic Treasures. It only relied on the Divine Abilities it manifested from the heaven and earth rules it comprehended. But still, this was an eighth-rank Vicious Beast!

A Cultivator capable of instantly killing an eighth-rank Vicious Beast, even in the Cloud Sea Star Domain, is enough to be considered among the ranks of the strong!

Li Xiangdong and the other three stared blankly at this scene. In their eyes, this Martial Grand-Uncle, whom they had never met before, instantly became full of mystery and majesty. Even if they had doubts about Wang Lin's identity, at this moment, they chose to ignore them without hesitation.

“With such a Divine Ability Cultivator in our Guiyuan Sect, the Guiyuan Sect’s dominance over the fifth-rank Star Domain is just around the corner!” Aside from Lü Yanfei, Li Xiangdong and the two elders beside him exchanged glances, their spirits invigorated!

If they had known that not only could eighth-rank Vicious Beasts be instantly killed by Wang Lin, but that not long ago, a shattered nirvana Cultivator from the sixth-rank Star Domain of the Cloud Sea also died by Wang Lin's hand, their shock would have been even greater.

The Vicious Beasts that witnessed Wang Lin's might now had their greed replaced by fear. They immediately scattered, galloping into the distance, intending to fly out of the Moruo Continent's range and return to the Star Domain.

Wang Lin paid no mind to the thoughts of the surrounding Cultivators. At this moment, his entire body was enveloped by the life force of that eighth-rank Vicious Beast, which continuously integrated into his body and fused with his true body's flesh and blood, resisting the flesh tribulation.

A few breaths later, Wang Lin's eyes flashed with brilliance. He glanced at the scattered Vicious Beasts in the distance, then took a step forward. Like a death ray reaping lives, he instantly appeared beside a fleeing Vicious Beast, charging straight through it, leaving behind a spray of blood and life force.

Light swirled in the sky; it was Wang Lin, moving like lightning. With each flash, a Vicious Beast would collapse.

In a short while, Wang Lin even pursued them out of the Moruo Continent, flashing through the starry sky outside the Moruo Continent. Screams filled the starry sky; for the Vicious Beasts attracted by the Ancient God Blood Crystal, a massacre awaited them.

This massacre gradually ended after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Within several hundred thousand li outside the Moruo Continent, no Vicious Beasts remained. Only a few Vicious Beasts ultimately escaped, carrying memories of fear. They would never forget that on this Moruo Continent, there was a Cultivator, like a Heavenly God.

The Moruo Continent's protective layer was repaired and reactivated. Everything seemed to return to its original state, without any change. What remained was only the eternal shock in the hearts of the Guiyuan Sect Cultivators.

At this moment, outside the Guiyuan Sect's Southern Garden Medicine Courtyard, Li Xiangdong, Lü Yanfei, and two other elders stood respectfully. Although they had waited for a long time, the four of them showed no impatience.

All the Cultivators in the entire Southern Garden had been relocated to the other three courtyards. Aside from Sun Yun, who was accompanying Lü Yanfei, there were no other Disciples in the Southern Garden.

“Are these medicinal herbs… brought back by Martial Grand-Uncle?” Li Xiangdong's gaze fell upon the patch of medicinal herbs in the courtyard. After receiving Sun Yun's affirmative reply, his expression showed a hint of excitement.

Meanwhile, deep underground within this courtyard, Wang Lin sat cross-legged. Opposite him, his true body, reduced to the size of a normal person, quietly breathed.

His true body had mostly recovered, with only a patch of flesh on his chest still gradually growing, engaged in the final resistance against the first of the two tribulations.

Time slowly passed. Three days later, a light flickered on the chest of Wang Lin's true body, and the flesh tribulation dissipated. He successfully passed the first of the two tribulations among the Ancient God's Three Harms and Seven Tribulations!

His true body slowly opened its eyes, revealing an extremely bright gleam. An invisible pressure also spread out. His skin was rougher, and his bones were harder!

At this moment, his true body had truly become an Ancient God, rather than the incomplete state of the past! Moreover, after devouring endless primal energy and that strange star mist, and successfully passing the tribulation, his true body's cultivation greatly increased!

Beside the five star points on his glabella, another star point appeared. However, this star point was still somewhat blurry and not yet fully formed, but just this alone filled Wang Lin with ecstasy!

Ancient Gods are not like Cultivators; the difficulty of increasing by one star is too great. Over these past thousand years, Wang Lin endured hardships, and it was only through multiple fortuitous encounters that his true body as an Ancient God reached five stars.

Although the sixth star was still blurry, the power his true body could unleash far surpassed what it could before! More importantly, an Ancient God who reached six stars could evolve their own Moon Gazer from within their body!

A smile appeared on his lips. Leaving his true body to continue sitting cross-legged and breathing deep underground, absorbing heaven and earth power to begin the evolution of the Moon Gazer, Wang Lin left and appeared in the medicine courtyard's dwelling.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Lin felt very pleased. His true body's successful tribulation added another layer of strength for him in the Cloud Sea Star Domain. With the Divine Abilities after fusing with his true body, killing an Early Stage shattered nirvana Cultivator would certainly not be as difficult as before!

“However, there is a huge gap between Early, Middle, Late, and Great Perfection shattered nirvana Cultivators. I wonder who would be stronger, me after fusing with my true body, or a Middle Stage shattered nirvana Cultivator!” Wang Lin's eyes gleamed as he pushed open the door and walked out.

In the medicine courtyard, as soon as Wang Lin appeared, a gentle breeze brushed his face, feeling very comfortable. The sky, due to the activation of the protective shield, also turned azure, with faint white clouds visible.

Looking at the medicinal herbs in the medicine courtyard, Wang Lin made a decision: he would use the unique Alchemy techniques of the Cloud Sea Star Domain to quickly raise his cultivation.

“You all may come in.” Deep in thought, Wang Lin's gaze fell upon the five people outside the medicine courtyard, and he slowly spoke.

His voice was calm but contained a hint of invisible majesty. Upon reaching the ears of those outside the courtyard, it immediately made them take a deep breath, and with a mix of nervousness and respect, they entered the courtyard.

Sun Yun was even more nervous, following behind Lü Yanfei as she walked in.

“Disciple greets Martial Grand-Uncle. We did not know of Martial Grand-Uncle’s return earlier, please punish us for any oversight,” Li Xiangdong and the others hurriedly said respectfully as soon as they entered the courtyard.

After a brief conversation, everyone excused themselves. Sun Yun could no longer reside there and followed Lü Yanfei to the Southern Pavilion. The entire Southern Garden had been designated a restricted area, prohibiting any Disciple from entering.

At the same time, at Wang Lin's command, a large number of Pill Formulas and high-grade Medicinal Pills were sent one by one. However, Wang Lin no longer found these Medicinal Pills appealing. After a brief inspection with the Pill Formulas, he only kept the Pill Formulas and had all the Medicinal Pills taken away.

While Wang Lin spent his days researching Pill Formulas, far from the Moruo Continent, due to Shi Luoxing's death, a rigorous search was frantically launched. Cultivators from various Sects in the sixth-rank Star Domain spread throughout the entire fifth-rank Star Domain, investigating floating continents one by one. Some even went to Star Domains below the fifth-rank.

With the actions of the sixth-rank Star Domain, news regarding the Jade Slip and Pill Formulas gradually spread, alarming the seventh-rank Star Domain and even catching the attention of the eighth-rank Star Domain.

Streaks of long rainbows flew out from the seventh- and eighth-rank Star Domains, heading directly towards the Barren Continent that had been sealed off in the fifth-rank Star Domain.

In the deepest part of the Cloud Sea Star Domain, the star mist here was so dense that even a shattered nirvana Cultivator's Divine Sense could only extend about fifty zhang. Rashly entering the star mist often felt like having one's eyes sealed, making it easy to get lost and unable to exit.

Here, the most powerful Vicious Beasts in the entire Cloud Sea Star Domain resided. They hid in the mist, and some Vicious Beasts even spread their Divine Abilities, making their bodies merge with the star mist, cultivating the Heavenly Dao rules. If Cultivators did not provoke them, they would not actively attack.

Compared to them, the few Cultivation Planets within this star mist seemed like outsiders, insignificant.

But the power contained within these few Cultivation Planets was enough to shake heaven and earth, making even those powerful Vicious Beasts extremely wary and reluctant to approach.

This was the ninth-rank Star Domain of the Cloud Sea!

At the edge of the ninth-rank Star Domain, seven Cultivation Planets were arranged in the Big Dipper formation, with layers of protective barriers connecting them, making these seven Cultivation Planets inseparable.

At this moment, on the Cultivation Planet representing the head of the Big Dipper, beneath millions of layers of protection, there was a grassland on the earth, and within the grassland stood a towering structure that reached into the clouds.

This structure was a statue, depicting a Cultivator pointing at the sky, glaring angrily, as if cursing the heavens. An indescribable majesty enveloped the four fields.

The grassland was quiet, with only a few small Spirit Beasts occasionally appearing, playing with each other before quickly moving far away. After a long time, a long rainbow whistled from the distant horizon, rapidly approaching.

Inside the long rainbow was a woman. This woman had a beautiful appearance, but what was peculiar was her blue hair. Such hair color, in the entire Cloud Sea Star Domain, was possessed by only one person!

That was Li Qianmei of the ninth-rank Potian Sect!

She began cultivating at five, established her Foundation at seven, formed her Core at nineteen, reached Nascent Soul at twenty-six, Soul Transformation at thirty-seven, Nascent Soul Transformation at forty-five, and Soul Transformation at sixty-one, becoming a Peak Yin Void Cultivator after a hundred years of cultivation.

Afterward, Potian Sect spared no effort in nurturing her. After more than four hundred years of cultivation, she reached Perfection Nirvana Scrutiny. Then, after three hundred more years, she became a Middle Stage Pure Nirvana Cultivator.

After more than five hundred years of tempering, she became the youngest shattered nirvana Cultivator within the Potian Sect! To this day, having cultivated for over 1,200 years, her cultivation has already reached Late Stage shattered nirvana.

In the Cloud Sea Star Domain, the name Li Qianmei was a legend!

“Disciple Li Qianmei greets Grandmaster!” The long rainbow dissipated before the statue, revealing a woman of dashing elegance within.

“Sima Mo’s Jade Slip has appeared. Go to the fifth-rank Star Domain. If possible, find the person who obtained that Jade Slip and bring them back along with the Jade Slip…” A沧桑 voice, filled with melancholy, slowly emanated from within the statue, and ripples immediately echoed throughout heaven and earth.

Li Qianmei respectfully affirmed and turned to leave.

Inside the statue, an old man with white hair sat cross-legged. Many parts of his body were festering, and his eyes showed a look of reminiscence. After a long while, he shook his head and sighed.

“Senior Brother Sima, perhaps Master was wrong back then…”
