Chapter 1147: Peak of the Cloud Sea, A Great Harvest!

Wang Lin frowned, just about to speak.

"What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Lü, are you dissatisfied?" Cang Songzi's expression darkened as he looked at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin remained silent.

"Since Fellow Daoist Lü agrees, then we'll trouble Fellow Daoist Pang." After Cang Songzi finished speaking, he glanced at the Old Woman in Green Robes. The two turned and left the Immortal Cave, speeding away straight toward the wall-like mountain range in the distance.

However, before leaving, the Old Woman in Green Robes swept her gaze over Wang Lin with her peripheral vision. Similarly, Cang Songzi also glanced at the old man surnamed Pang.

After the two left, the old man surnamed Pang revealed a sinister smile, staring at Wang Lin while turning the ring in his hand. He slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Lü, continue your breathing exercises. This old man will certainly protect you well."

After he finished speaking, his Divine Sense brazenly swept over Wang Lin. After confirming Wang Lin's injuries, he didn't even look at Wang Lin again and began ransacking the Immortal Cave.

Wang Lin closed his eyes, ignoring the old man surnamed Pang.

Time slowly passed. The old man surnamed Pang searched three stone rooms, a look of ecstasy appearing on his face. He returned to Wang Lin's location, stared coldly at him, and suddenly laughed.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, this old man remembers something you said before."

Wang Lin opened his eyes, his gaze calm as he looked at the old man surnamed Pang.

Seeing Wang Lin's calm gaze, the old man surnamed Pang's eyes narrowed, but he quickly returned to normal and said sinisterly, "You previously told this old man to be cautious with my words, lest careless speech bring about a calamity that kills me."

Wang Lin's Divine Thought remained steady. He slowly said, "I did say that, and I still say it now: careless speech may bring about a calamity that kills you."

The old man surnamed Pang burst into maniacal laughter, the pockmarks on his face looking extremely hideous at this moment. His eyes were icy cold as he stared at Wang Lin, saying, "If you weren't injured, this old man would indeed be wary of you, but right now, I'll see which of us will suffer a deadly calamity!" His eyes flashed, and he raised his right hand, slamming it fiercely toward Wang Lin!

The reason he waited until now to strike was to wait for Cang Songzi and the Old Woman in Green Robes to be completely gone, lest the Old Woman in Green Robes notice anything.

Wang Lin's eyes were still calm as water. The instant the old man surnamed Pang's right hand approached, his eyes revealed a sharp, cold light. His left hand shot up like lightning, grabbing the old man surnamed Pang's right hand and crushing it fiercely!

A cracking sound suddenly echoed. The old man surnamed Pang's pupils contracted, and intense pain shot through him, but this pain was insignificant compared to the horror in his heart.

"You!!" The old man surnamed Pang immediately retreated, about to unleash a Divine Ability, but just then, Wang Lin's body flickered and he charged straight out. He clenched his right fist and swung it, releasing a roaring, immense power.

The old man surnamed Pang was too close to Wang Lin and couldn't dodge at all. A tremendous boom sounded as Wang Lin's right fist landed directly on the old man surnamed Pang's chest.

The old man surnamed Pang spat out fresh blood, his eyes showing disbelief. His Physical Body instantly exploded, turning into a mass of flesh and blood. His Primordial Spirit screamed as it flew out, filled with deep terror—he was afraid!

He never expected that the person before him was not injured! Just as he was about to flee, Wang Lin turned, raised his right hand, and an Iron Sword immediately appeared in his grasp. Without hesitation, he slashed downward!

The sword light flashed, and the old man surnamed Pang's Primordial Spirit was split in two with a miserable shriek. With a wave of his sleeve, Wang Lin grabbed the old man surnamed Pang's Primordial Spirit in his hand. With a squeeze, half of the man's Primordial Spirit immediately collapsed, turning into Origin Power. Before it could dissipate, Wang Lin opened his mouth and swallowed it whole. The other half of the Primordial Spirit was nearly transparent but dared not flee, trembling under the threat of the Iron Sword in Wang Lin's hand.

This entire action concluded in just a moment. Wang Lin's strike was a killing move, without any hesitation, and it was executed while the old man was caught off guard, preventing him from even having time to take out his Divine Abilities or Magic Treasures.

"Open your Storage Space, and I won't kill you!" Wang Lin spoke coldly and darkly.

The old man surnamed Pang's Primordial Spirit was extremely weak and could already feel signs of dissipation. Wang Lin, in his view, was unbelievably powerful.

He couldn't distinguish the truth from the lie in Wang Lin's words, but refusing now meant death, while not refusing offered a sliver of hope. He immediately gritted his teeth and opened his Storage Space.

Wang Lin swung the Iron Sword in his hand, severing the man's connection with the Storage Space, and immediately took out and claimed all the items within the Storage Space.

He then looked coldly at the old man's Primordial Spirit, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"You promised not to kill me!" the old man surnamed Pang's Primordial Spirit immediately shrieked.

Wang Lin snorted coldly. With a wave of his right hand, he grabbed the man's Primordial Spirit and forcibly used the Divine Ability for memory searching while the opponent was weak. Moments later, he sealed the still-living Primordial Spirit into his Storage Space.

He truly hadn't intended to kill the old man right now. If the man's death alerted Cang Songzi, it would be a loss outweighing the gain and would ruin Wang Lin's plan.

"This man has an extremely close relationship with Cang Songzi. Perhaps Cang Songzi holds his Life Jade Slip; if he dies, Cang Songzi will immediately notice." Wang Lin wasn't certain of this, nor did he find mention of it in the old man surnamed Pang's memories, but he was always cautious and preferred to assume the worst.

Calculating the time, Wang Lin unhurriedly opened the Storage Space and began sifting through the old man surnamed Pang's possessions. Since the old man surnamed Pang was a shattered nirvana Cultivator, he had many treasures. He possessed hundreds of thousands of Immortal Jade alone, and surprisingly, five to six tens of thousands of Origin Crystals.

Besides these, there were also large amounts of herbs and Pill Formulas. Clearly, the old man surnamed Pang had prepared thoroughly for this trip.

These were secondary. Wang Lin mainly searched the Jade Slips. Within them, he found two maps and one Incantation mark for leaving this place.

Both maps concerned the Seven-Colored Realm. Some routes were marked, and they even detailed the Mist-Transforming Vicious Beasts that could be fed Immortal Jade to obtain Origin Crystals, making them extremely comprehensive.

Unfortunately, in the memories Wang Lin obtained, even the old man surnamed Pang didn't truly know Cang Songzi's real objective, only that many Vicious Beast souls were Sealed there.

Furthermore, Wang Lin also gained some knowledge about other matters concerning the Seven-Colored Realm from the memories.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Lin continued checking the Storage Space. It contained items from the Immortal Cave that the old man surnamed Pang had just searched for Wang Lin, including quite a few Medicinal Pills. However, what caught Wang Lin's attention was a short sword!

This short sword was in the third stone room, plunged into a beast bone.

With a wave of his right hand, silver light flashed, and the short sword appeared in Wang Lin's hand. The old man surnamed Pang had just acquired it and had not had time to examine it closely before Wang Lin took it back.

Wang Lin swept his Divine Sense across the short sword and detected an unusual aura on it. He felt this aura was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall what it was. However, the short sword bore a Seal, and without opening the Seal, its specific power could not be known.

After a brief thought, Wang Lin went to the third stone room and immediately saw the beast bone on the ground. The bone was not large, about the size of a person, and shaped like a deer.

The entire bone was pitch black, and a large portion of it had already turned into powder. Upon closer inspection, this powder had just appeared, clearly caused when the old man surnamed Pang retrieved the sword.

Looking at the beast bone, Wang Lin slowly frowned. He felt something was wrong. Why would a deer appear in this Immortal Cave? Moreover, the short sword was clearly extraordinary even before its Seal was opened. Once the Seal was opened, its power would surely be unimaginable, yet such a Magic Treasure was plunged into the deer's body, fixed in this stone room.

"Since this place isn't Sima Mo's Immortal Cave, then whose is it…" Wang Lin had discovered while searching the old man surnamed Pang's memories that this was fundamentally not Sima Mo's Immortal Cave. Cang Songzi had never intended to take him to the real Immortal Cave.

This place was simply one that Cang Songzi had found casually moments ago.

Sima Mo did have an Immortal Cave here, but its location was not this place. Wang Lin now knew the true location.

Staring at the beast bone on the ground, Wang Lin remained silent for a long time. He turned and walked out of the stone room. He lacked sufficient clues to analyze this matter. He put away the short sword, preparing to leave.

Suddenly, Wang Lin paused. As if remembering something, he looked down at the ground. In a nearby corner, amidst the flesh and blood, he saw a finger ring.

In the old man surnamed Pang's memory, the best Magic Treasure he possessed was this finger ring. He had also acquired this item from the Seven-Colored Realm, but before he could use it, he was instantly killed by Wang Lin.

He grabbed into the Void Realm with his right hand, and the ring flew into Wang Lin's grasp. Wiping off the blood, Wang Lin swept his Divine Sense over it, his expression slightly moved.

This ring also had a Seal, consisting of nine layers. The old man surnamed Pang had already broken seven layers, gaining partial control over the ring, and he had broken most of the eighth layer as well.

Wiping away the Divine Sense on it and leaving his own mark, Wang Lin examined it carefully. Given his mastery of Restrictions, breaking it was not difficult. He performed Hand Seals with his left hand, and Restrictions appeared, instantly landing on the ring. A series of booming sounds echoed, immediately breaking open the mostly shattered eighth layer of the Seal. The ring actually emitted a five-colored light and instantly transformed into five long rainbows circling Wang Lin.

These five long rainbows formed an extremely dense defense, and as they coiled, they could prevent any Divine Ability from approaching.

"If the old man surnamed Pang had broken the eighth layer of the Seal earlier, killing him wouldn't have been so quick." Wang Lin's mind stirred. The five long rainbows outside his body dissipated, merging back into the ring, which Wang Lin put away.

He took a deep breath, his gaze falling outside the Immortal Cave, flashing with cold light. His body flickered, and he escaped the Immortal Cave, chasing straight toward the distance! While speeding along, Wang Lin did not spread his Divine Sense too far. Instead, it circled his body, and relying on a strange sensation, he moved through the various valleys.

If Cang Songzi saw the route he was taking, he would be greatly astonished. This route was precisely the path he and the Old Woman in Green Robes had taken!

"How can I let you wear my Loose Devil Armor for free!"

Yesterday, I made a mistake. The Double monthly vote period is not the 26th, but the 29th… If everyone wants to vote now, vote now. If you prefer double, wait for the 29th. However, having few monthly votes during the burst period does make Er Gen a little depressed.
