Chapter 1146: Peak of the Cloud Sea, The Dao Should Be So. Network latency caused the chapter title to be wrong; this chapter should be Chapter 1186: It Should Be So.

"You?" Cang Songzi looked at Wang Lin, the madness in his eyes gradually hidden. He thought to himself, "This person's Physical Body is indeed somewhat strange; he was actually able to resist the Dragon earlier. Perhaps with the power of his Physical Body, he really can break this Formation."

"Very well, then I will leave it to you, Fellow Daoist Lü." Cang Songzi cupped his fists, his expression returning to normal.

The old man surnamed Pang sneered internally, thinking that even with Cang Songzi and the God-Devil Armor, he could only take nine steps. How many steps could this person named Lü possibly take!

Wang Lin looked at the mountain rock. He originally would not have stepped forward, but seeing the madness in Cang Songzi's eyes earlier, his heart stirred. Although this place was dangerous, it must be of great significance to have aroused such interest in Cang Songzi.

If they could not enter here, presumably Cang Songzi would not let them leave. Although Wang Lin had already made preparations in secret for this point and did not care, he wanted to know exactly what reason or item could make Cang Songzi so crazy.

"I ask Fellow Daoist Zhao to assist me in opening the Formation." Wang Lin cupped his fists toward the Old Woman in Green Robes. This Old Woman in Green Robes had certainly not used her full strength earlier, taking advantage of Cang Songzi's impatience to force him to enter the mountain rock himself, causing him to be injured.

"Before the treasure has even been found, these people have already begun secret infighting to weaken each other's strength. If I want to participate in this muddy water, I must do the same…" Wang Lin's expression was as usual; outsiders could not see any of his thoughts.

The Old Woman in Green Robes raised her right hand and waved it forward. Immediately, a Restriction landed on the mountain rock, making it appear transparent, with ripples echoing across it.

Wang Lin turned and reached the mountain rock in a few steps, then lifted his foot to step inside. No one noticed that the moment he entered the mountain rock and the ripples echoed, an invisible Restriction in Wang Lin's right hand was merged into the local Formation as he relaxed his grip.

Upon entering the mountain rock, Wang Lin immediately felt a pressure gathering from all directions, especially in front, where the pressure was even more intense.

His pace was slow as he walked forward. One step, two steps, three steps! As the Third Step landed, Wang Lin clearly perceived that the pressure from all around had reached an incredible degree, and the resistance in front was like a howling gale, as if countless great mountains were pressing down to prevent him from moving forward.

With every additional step he took, this squeezing force would double. Thus, the further he walked, the more difficult it became. If it were the Physical Body of an ordinary Cultivator, it would certainly be unable to withstand this crazy pressure and would inevitably collapse.

But Wang Lin possessed the Ancient God Physical Body, so he could ignore this level of pressure. However, at this moment, his face was extremely pale. He stopped at the Third Step, breathed in and out for a moment, and then lifted his foot to step forward again.

Fourth step, fifth step, sixth step!

The moment the sixth step landed, the pressure here had reached a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering level, as if countless hands were wrapping around his body, and countless Divine Abilities were whistling toward him from the front, like a lonely boat in the waves of an angry sea.

Wang Lin was already bloodless in the face, his body trembling slightly, as if he wanted to retreat. But at this very instant, resistance also appeared behind him, preventing him from retreating.

Outside the mountain rock, the Old Woman in Green Robes stared at Wang Lin inside, her eyes revealing deep thought.

"The Formation has changed…" Cang Songzi frowned deeply, watching Wang Lin's body. He looked carefully for a long time, recalling his own feelings at the sixth step, and remained silent.

The old man surnamed Pang sneered internally, thinking that he had overestimated this person earlier. He had cultivation but lacked intellect; if he was too severely injured at a time like this, he would lose the qualification to continue walking here.

Wang Lin paused for a long time at the sixth step. After a long while, he stepped forward for the seventh step. The moment the seventh step landed, a mouthful of blood sprayed from Wang Lin's mouth, but his body did not retreat, and he stepped out the eighth step.

The moment the eighth step landed, thumping sounds came from within Wang Lin's body, as if his flesh and bones were being crushed. A large amount of blood mist sprayed out, turning his white robes blood-red.

At this moment, Cang Songzi was moved. He stepped forward a few paces and looked intently, his gaze like lightning as it swept over Wang Lin.

The Old Woman in Green Robes also stood up, her expression grave.

As for the old man surnamed Pang, the sneer in his heart grew heavier.

Inside the mountain rock, Wang Lin's body seemed to be contorting. He lifted his right foot, and the instant a low roar faintly emerged from within the mountain rock, he stepped out the ninth step!

With a bang, Wang Lin's body shook violently, the veins on his face bulged, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, but he stood firm!

Cang Songzi's mind was shaken, and he shouted in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Lü, only one step left!!"

The Old Woman in Green Robes' gaze revealed complexity. She watched very carefully for a long time and did not see any signs of the other party faking it; everything was extremely real.

"The Formation has actually changed at this time; even if this person wants to return, he cannot."

"Cang Songzi, Fellow Daoist Zhao, I have done my best on this trip. If I am severely injured, you all…" Wang Lin's weak voice came from within the mountain rock.

"Fellow Daoist Lü can rest assured. I will never go back on what I promised before!" Cang Songzi's voice came out.

Wang Lin inside the mountain rock seemed to be hesitating, but soon he lifted his right foot and stepped forward for the tenth step! The moment the tenth step landed, the entire mountain range suddenly roared and shook violently. A large amount of rock fell from the mountain, and it even startled the Vicious Beasts that had turned into mist on the mountain.

Nine-Step Heaven-Sealing Formation, collapsed!

Wang Lin's body sprayed blood again. Amidst the collapse of the Formation, he was blasted out by a great force and thrown back. Cang Songzi's eyes flashed, and he immediately stepped forward, raising his right hand to land directly on the back of Wang Lin's thrown body.

The moment his right hand touched Wang Lin, Cang Songzi's Yuan Power and Divine Sense rushed directly into Wang Lin's body, quickly circled inside him, and were suddenly withdrawn.

In front of the Old Woman in Green Robes, it was inconvenient for him to secretly deal a lethal blow; otherwise, it would certainly arouse high vigilance from the Old Woman in Green Robes and bring unnecessary trouble to the future journey.

His purpose was to test whether this person surnamed Lü was truly severely injured. Now that he had obtained the answer, he would naturally not bicker with this severely injured, non-threatening person.

Just at this moment, the roar of a beast suddenly appeared. An eagle-shaped Vicious Beast rushed out from the mist on the mountain range and headed straight for everyone.

Cang Songzi grabbed Wang Lin and stepped directly into the passage that appeared after the Formation collapsed. The old man surnamed Pang and the Old Woman in Green Robes followed closely behind and quickly entered the passage.

Everyone galloped all the way. After walking for a long time in this passage and gradually no longer hearing the sound of beast roars, they stopped.

Cang Songzi put Wang Lin down, his expression revealing emotion. He cupped his fists and said, "Brother Lü risked severe injury to break the Formation. I will keep this in mind!"

Wang Lin's face was pale, and there was still blood at the corner of his mouth. He waved his hand and smiled bitterly, saying, "That mountain rock Formation is very strange. After I stepped in six steps, I discovered that there was also resistance behind me, so I could only move forward…"

"Regardless, being able to enter here this time, Fellow Daoist Lü deserves the primary credit!" Cang Songzi's expression was extremely sincere, and he cupped his fists repeatedly. Seeing the fatigue on Wang Lin's face, he immediately took out a Medicinal Pill and handed it to Wang Lin.

"Brother Lü, first circulate your Qi to heal your injuries. When you have recovered slightly, we will continue forward."

Wang Lin was silent for a moment, nodded bitterly, and took the Medicinal Pill but did not consume it. Instead, he took out his own Medicinal Pill, put it in his mouth, and closed his eyes to meditate.

The old man surnamed Pang's eyes flashed, revealing a cold glint, but at this moment, Cang Songzi glanced at the old man and shook his head slightly.

Time passed slowly. Before long, Wang Lin opened his eyes and stood up. He said hoarsely, "The injuries cannot be recovered in a short time; let us continue forward."

Cang Songzi glanced at Wang Lin and nodded. The Old Woman in Green Robes sighed internally and did not speak.

Everyone walked forward in this passage. This place was extremely quiet, with only footsteps echoing slowly. Not knowing how much time had passed, a patch of light appeared in the distance. Cang Songzi suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked quickly.

This bright place was the exit of this area. Standing there, Cang Songzi looked ahead and laughed loudly.

Ahead was a continuous valley, filled with vegetation, and bursts of fragrance spread out. Smelling it once gave one a feeling of refreshment. Behind this mountain range was a mountain range like a city wall; that mountain range seemed to be ring-shaped, standing high and isolating it from the outside world.

"Passing that mountain range, we will be inside this place! Sima Mo's Immortal Cave is not behind that mountain range, but in a valley ahead of this place." Cang Songzi laughed loudly as he stepped forward, moving at great speed. The Old Woman in Green Robes was by his side, and the two galloped away.

Wang Lin's face was pale, and at this moment, the seven-colored light was even more dazzling. He took a deep breath and followed. The old man surnamed Pang sneered internally, always keeping close to Wang Lin.

Not long after, under Cang Songzi's guidance, the four arrived at a valley. Upon entering the valley, they saw an Immortal Cave ahead at a glance.

The stone walls of this Immortal Cave were covered with green grass, clearly having been abandoned for a long time. It was not large, with only three stone rooms. The floor was somewhat messy, with many Medicinal Pills scattered about, most of which had weathered and would turn into powder at the slightest touch.

Cang Songzi's mind was clearly not on this Immortal Cave. He looked at the Old Woman in Green Robes and said, "I will not take any items from this place; they are all for Fellow Daoist Zhao and Fellow Daoist Lü."

The Old Woman in Green Robes swept it with her Divine Sense and shook her head, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lü paid a great price earlier. How could I take anything from this place? It should all belong to Fellow Daoist Lü."

Wang Lin looked around, sighed lightly, and cupped his fists, saying, "I, Lü, cannot continue forward with you two. I find this place to be relatively quiet, which is suitable for healing."

"Fellow Daoist Lü is severely injured, so just heal here for a period of time. After I and Fellow Daoist Zhao return, I will certainly deliver what I promised before with both hands, and we will leave together then." Cang Songzi smiled.

"Many thanks!" Wang Lin nodded.

"However, although it is quiet here, this place is dangerous, and there might be Vicious Beasts. Fellow Daoist Pang, I have a matter to entrust to you." Cang Songzi pondered for a moment and looked at the old man surnamed Pang.

"If Fellow Daoist Lü is here healing alone, I am worried about his safety. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Pang to act as his Protector here. The items that I and Fellow Daoist Zhao obtain will be shared with Fellow Daoist Pang, as a reward. How about it?"

The old man surnamed Pang's eyes flashed, and he smiled, "It should be so!"
