Chapter 1182: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Cloud Soul Child’s Awe (Seeking monthly vote)

Wang Lin stepped out of the mountain peak, deep in thought. At this moment, the Rift at the top of the mountain had vanished, and the light throughout the Seven-Colored Realm had faded, returning it to darkness.

Gazing into the pitch-black void ahead, Wang Lin unleashed his Divine Sense. He was about to speed away after leaving the mountain but paused immediately, looking down at a valley not far away.

"Come out and see me!" Wang Lin's voice was calm, yet it carried an irresistible majesty.

His words were cold, like a chilling wind blowing through, echoing within the valley and soaring into the sky. It seemed to shake the entire Seven-Colored Realm, creating a booming sound like the law following his words, causing everyone who heard it to tremble in their hearts.

Cloud Soul Child was sitting cross-legged in an Immortal Cave within the valley. Ever since the Rift that illuminated the entire Seven-Colored Realm had appeared on Wang Lin's mountain peak, he had awakened from his meditation, followed by a sense of heart-stopping, inexplicable fear.

He vaguely guessed that the person from a century ago had seemingly… returned.

The killing intent he held a century ago had faded over time, and he was hesitating when he suddenly felt an aura that made his soul fly away and spirit scatter. At the same time, cold words manifested like blades all around him, piercing through his body and landing on his Primordial Spirit.

His face turned pale, a roaring sound echoed in his ears, and blue flames appeared on his body as if he were being burned, especially within the flames, where lightning permeated, causing his entire body to go numb in an instant.

What shocked him even more was that a maddening Battle Intent rose in his heart. If this Battle Intent could be released, it would be fine, but at this moment, it was forcefully locked within his body by a Concept and Dao Concept, causing his Primordial Spirit to be roasted by the Battle Intent. In excruciating pain, despite his cultivation, he actually let out a miserable groan.

What terrified him even more was that in that voice, he had an extremely strong feeling that if he did not go out immediately, a single thought from the other party would cause his Dao to dissipate and his body to perish instantly!

"This… this… how could he be… so strong!!!" Cloud Soul Child's face was bloodless, filled with fear. He clearly felt that the Wang Lin of this moment was worlds apart from the one a century ago!

Without any more hesitation, Cloud Soul Child rushed out of the Immortal Cave and immediately saw Wang Lin floating in the world. The moment he saw Wang Lin, his mind went blank, and only the pounding of his heart remained, replacing everything else in this instant.

The surroundings were silent, without a sound, but to Cloud Soul Child, it felt as if this world had become the other party's palm, and he was within it, unable to escape. His life and death were not in his own hands, but in the thoughts of the person before him.

Especially at the center of the person's brows, although it was blank, Cloud Soul Child had a strong feeling that there was still an eye at that blank space, staring dead at him.

That eye contained rules beyond his imagination, and it seemed that the blue flames and lightning burning within his body, as well as the Battle Intent capable of collapsing his Primordial Spirit, all came from that third eye.

Even the teleportation that Wang Lin had disrupted back then, which caused him to appear in that valley and face the Vicious Beast in the fog, despite his fear then, was insignificant compared to now. In his view, the aura Wang Lin brought was strong enough to sweep through the Seven-Colored Realm, and before him, he was like an ant!

This feeling grew stronger and stronger, and in the end, Cloud Soul Child's face became even paler.

Wang Lin coldly swept a glance at Cloud Soul Child, raised his right hand, and placed his index finger on the Void Realm, his gaze icy as it collided with Cloud Soul Child's eyes.

A strange mark manifested from Wang Lin's right hand and slowly flew toward Cloud Soul Child. This mark was not fast; if Cloud Soul Child wanted to avoid it, it would be very easy.

But under Wang Lin's gaze, cold sweat beaded on Cloud Soul Child's forehead, yet he dared not move at all. He had a strong sense of crisis that if he moved even a little, what awaited him would be ruthless slaughter.

He believed the other party could do it, could even kill him instantly! This feeling was a premonition he had developed over his many years of cultivation; in his life, he had never felt anything as clearly terrifying as today!

Watching the mark get closer and closer, Cloud Soul Child struggled internally, but in the end, he gave up all resistance and allowed the mark to land on his brow, deeply imprinted there.

The moment the mark landed, the true-and-false blue flames and lightning that had manifested within his body, along with the strange Battle Intent within his Primordial Spirit, all converged toward his brow, fused with the mark, flickered a few times, and then disappeared.

Cloud Soul Child secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his expression extremely respectful, and he said in a low voice: "This old servant greets Master."

With his cultivation, he naturally saw at a glance that the mark was not one of killing, but of life-and-death control. Although the other party did not state it clearly, the action revealed the meaning without doubt.

Either live as his slave, or die as his soul!

Wang Lin did indeed think so; if this Cloud Soul Child was blind, he would not mind killing him. Withdrawing his gaze from Cloud Soul Child, Wang Lin said calmly: "How long have I been asleep?"

Cloud Soul Child felt bitter inside, but he had no unwillingness, only a sense of daze, especially when thinking about the difference between the person of a century ago and now, he sighed repeatedly.

Hearing this, he quickly and respectfully said: "Master has been asleep for ninety-nine years."

Wang Lin's expression was normal, but he was stunned inside, looking at the dark world ahead, and fell silent.

"So… that much time has passed…"

Cloud Soul Child dared not disturb Wang Lin's contemplation, looking at Wang Lin with complex emotions. The events of the past century still felt like a dream to him; he could never have imagined that the person he disdained when entering would now become his Master.

A moment later, Wang Lin's body flickered, turning into a long rainbow and speeding away through the world, with Cloud Soul Child following closely behind, sighing internally.

With Wang Lin's current cultivation, his speed was extremely fast, and before long, he arrived at Sima Mo's valley. This place had been preserved earlier under the lightning and fire because they contained Wang Lin's will.

Waving his right hand, Wang Lin stepped into the valley and walked in. Cloud Soul Child stood respectfully outside the valley; without Wang Lin's order, he dared not take a single step into the valley.

Inside the valley, Wang Lin looked at everything familiar. The century of time seemed to pass so quickly that it caught him off guard, and at the same time, he felt a trace of crisis in his heart.

"Tuo Sen must have come out already!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed as he headed straight for the first Immortal Cave, unleashing his Divine Sense, and exhaled in relief upon seeing it.

Among the countless Restrictions of the first Immortal Cave, all the Origin Crystals had turned into dust, and the beast souls within had also dissipated. The Mosquito Beast lay on the ground, wrapped in something like an egg; it was extremely weak inside, seemingly without the strength to struggle out.

The moment Wang Lin's Divine Sense probed in, the weak Mosquito Beast immediately opened its eyes, revealing confusion, but soon there was joy, and it struggled. However, at this moment, because it lacked Origin Crystals, it had not achieved a complete transformation and could not break free.

Wang Lin felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this, opened the Immortal Cave, and entered. Waving his right hand into the void, a Storage Rift appeared, and all the Origin Crystals he had obtained suddenly flew out and landed all around.

The moment these Origin Crystals appeared, they immediately emitted thick Origin Power, rushing toward the egg-wrapped Mosquito Beast, which quickly absorbed them and began its continued transformation.

"Go and invite Chen Tianjun; he shouldn't be dead!" Wang Lin's Divine Thought spread out, penetrating the valley and landing in Cloud Soul Child's mind.

Cloud Soul Child immediately and respectfully agreed, turning into a long rainbow and heading into the distance.

Chen Tianjun sat cross-legged in the same Immortal Cave from a century ago. Over these hundred years, his thoughts were extremely complex; it seemed the hope of leaving this place had been extinguished. He often stared blankly at the pitch-black world, recalling his life before entering this place.

"Master and Senior Brothers must be fighting Vicious Beasts on the battlefield in the ninth-rank Star Domain right now… That is where I should be… I shouldn't be here…"

During the century, in this world without light, he had spent his time lonely and silently, having already despaired. But the moment Wang Lin awakened, this place, which had been dark for a century, suddenly had light, which made Chen Tianjun's desperate heart tremble immediately.

He wanted to leave this place; he wanted to leave this place very, very much. This urgency was enough to turn into flames and burn him. He stood up abruptly, rushed out of the Immortal Cave, looked into the distance, his mind trembling.

"Has… has he returned!!"

Just as he was waiting and anxious, a long rainbow came from afar. Chen Tianjun saw the Cloud Soul Child within the long rainbow at a glance, and his heart skipped a beat, stepping back a few steps, his gaze gloomy and cautious.

Cloud Soul Child floated in mid-air, glanced coldly at Chen Tianjun, and said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, Master invites you; come with me."

"Master?" Chen Tianjun was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he seemed to have thought of something, took a deep breath, and flew away with Cloud Soul Child without another word.

Before long, Chen Tianjun arrived at Sima Mo's valley. Here, he clearly felt Wang Lin's aura, and his eyes revealed wild joy.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, come in quickly." Wang Lin's voice came from within the valley. Chen Tianjun respectfully agreed and stepped into the valley with excitement. He saw Wang Lin's figure outside the cave wall immediately.

"Brother Lü…" Chen Tianjun's voice trembled with excitement upon seeing Wang Lin; the century of waiting had suddenly come to an end on this day, and even he could hardly control his emotions.

"Did you get enough Origin Crystals?" Wang Lin nodded slightly.

"Enough, enough!" Chen Tianjun reached out, tore open a Storage Rift, immediately took out a Storage Pouch, and respectfully handed it to Wang Lin.

After Wang Lin took it and scanned it with his Divine Sense, he left a sentence and turned to enter the Immortal Cave.

"Wait for me, I will take you away!"

These words were what Chen Tianjun had waited a century for; he took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and looked at the dark sky, which seemed to have light at this moment.

"Finally, I can get out!"
