Chapter 1205: Peak of the Cloud Sea – A Century in a Breath

“The sudden decrease in Blue Mosquito Beasts here is probably related to this person. He is clearly meditating right now, so we shouldn't disturb him. It would be best to leave quickly!” As Li Yuanlei spoke, he slowly retreated.

But just then, an unexpected change occurred!

The pale golden Mosquito King, clinging to Wang Lin, suddenly raised its head and stared coldly at the dozen or so Cultivators in the distance. In fact, it had seen these people long ago but was too lazy to bother with them. But at this moment, it suddenly let out a shriek.

Following its shriek, thousands of Mosquito Beasts around them instantly scattered with a roar, their cries shaking the heavens and earth. The red cloud they formed immediately surged and rolled, rushing towards the dozen or so Cultivators with sharp shrieks.

“Not good, flee quickly!” Li Yuanlei urgently shouted, his body like lightning, as he frantically retreated backward. The more than ten people around him all changed their expressions at this moment, rapidly retreating, about to leave this place.

However, their speed might exceed that of the crimson Mosquito Beasts, but compared to the Blue Mosquito Beasts, they were inferior! Among the thousands of roaring Mosquito Beasts, hundreds of Blue Mosquito Beasts, like streaks of blue meteors, burst out of the swarm at an extremely fast speed, transforming into hundreds of long rainbows that shot straight towards everyone.

“Blue Mosquitoes!” Everyone's scalps tingled, and their escape speed increased. They had only seen the red cloud just now and had not seen the Blue Mosquito Beasts beneath it. Now that they saw them, they almost felt their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. In the various rumors of the Wind Realm, these Blue Mosquito Beasts were extremely terrifying and even possessed Divine Abilities, comparable to Nirvana Cleansing Cultivators!

But the Blue Mosquito Beasts were too fast, and their numbers, hundreds of them, created a strong visual impact. In the instant everyone's minds were shaken, the whistling sound echoed like thunder. The hundreds of Blue Mosquito Beasts instantly caught up, surrounding the dozen or so people, letting out bloodthirsty shrieks. Their ferocious appearance, huge proboscises, and the blue light emanating from their bodies were like a nightmare to these dozen Cultivators!

However, at this moment, they had no right to resist at all. Immediately after being surrounded by the Blue Mosquito Beasts, cutting off their escape route, a red cloud permeated the area. The surroundings were instantly filled with red Mosquito Beasts again. Located in the center of thousands of Mosquito Beasts, they couldn't see the outside world's boundaries; all they saw were ferocious Mosquito Beasts. This terrifying feeling made despair appear in the eyes of these Cultivators.

They had been very careful. In the past, when entering here, they would at most encounter small groups of a hundred Mosquito Beasts. With their cultivation, and not being far from the exit, they could still escape.

Being surrounded by thousands of Mosquito Beasts as they were now was something they encountered for the first time. In fact, let alone them, even the Seniors of their sects had probably never encountered such a situation in their lives.

In their despair, these Cultivators were about to launch a desperate counterattack, but they were stunned to find that the surrounding Mosquito Beasts did not launch any attacks. They merely surrounded them, and amidst the surging and shrieking, gradually revealed a path. This path led directly to the stone gate.

This strange scene immediately made everyone feel as if they had found a glimmer of hope in their despair. They looked at each other, Li Yuanlei's face was pale, but he gritted his teeth and took the lead, flying forward. Under the swarming of the surrounding Mosquito Beasts, he gradually flew towards the stone gate.

As he got closer, he clearly saw Wang Lin sitting cross-legged on the stone gate, and also saw the pale golden Mosquito King casting a cold gaze.

Swept by the Mosquito King's gaze, Li Yuanlei's body stiffened, and cold sweat seeped out. He had a strong feeling that as long as this pale golden Mosquito Beast shrieked, the surrounding Mosquito Beasts would instantly tear them all to shreds.

“Mosquito King!” At this moment, if Li Yuanlei and his companions behind him still couldn't discern the identity of this pale golden Mosquito Beast, they wouldn't deserve to be called the elites of their respective sects.

Li Yuanlei took a deep breath, having no time to feel the vastness of the stone gate. Instead, he looked at Wang Lin, respectfully cupped his fists and said, “Junior Li Yuanlei greets Senior. This time, we unintentionally disturbed you, and I hope Senior will not take offense.”

The more than ten Cultivators behind him all respectfully cupped their fists.

However, a long time passed after they spoke, but Wang Lin showed no reaction, merely sitting there, eyes closed, in Enter Meditation. Since Wang Lin did not reply, Li Yuanlei and the others remained trapped by the Mosquito Beasts, unable to advance or retreat, and could only wait with trepidation.

If it were normal waiting, it would be fine, but being surrounded by thousands of Mosquito Beasts at this moment, this waiting was an ordeal for them.

In reality, it wasn't that Wang Lin ignored them, but that all of Wang Lin's Divine Sense was focused on his mind, immersed in that peculiar state. He had no idea what was happening outside, nor did he know that the Mosquito King had taken it upon itself to forcibly detain these Cultivators.

If Li Yuanlei and the others had harbored killing intent towards Wang Lin, or caused fluctuations in heaven and earth origin energy, then Wang Lin could have instantly awakened. But right now, Li Yuanlei and the others' lives hung in the balance, one could even say their lives were entirely in Wang Lin's hands, so they dared not harbor any thought of killing him, nor did they dare to cause any fluctuations in heaven and earth origin energy, fearing it would alert the surrounding Mosquito Beasts.

Thus, they could only endure the torment of waiting.

“This second Divine Ability shall be called Flowing Moon…” Within Wang Lin's mind, he sat on the stone gate, as if speaking to Wang Ping beside him, but no one could answer his words. In his mind, only the sound of waves echoed, as if in response. After a long time, Wang Lin slowly raised his right hand and gently waved it forward.

Suddenly, the waves on the sea ahead roared into motion, and giant ocean waves surged up, constantly churning and rapidly spreading outwards.

Wang Lin's wave of a hand in his mind, outside the stone gate in the Wind Realm, immediately made Li Yuanlei and the others feel a monstrous, invisible impact frantically spreading. They had no power to resist whatsoever and were instantly enveloped in a peculiar world.

Everyone, including Li Yuanlei, in that instant, only felt their vision blur. When it cleared, everything before their eyes had vanished, leaving only a massive gate, towering before them. This gate reached the sky, and they could not see its top.

A desolate aura emanated from the stone gate, transforming into an unimaginably vast power that submerged them. Compared to this aura, Li Yuanlei and the others were like lonely boats in raging waves, fragile and vulnerable.

“Flowing Moon…” A desolate voice slowly echoed in this world. This voice seemed to contain the sense of time, as if it came from ancient times, and when it entered everyone's ears, it felt as though it had passed through the vicissitudes of time.

The moment this voice sounded, Li Yuanlei and the others all trembled, their eyes filled with confusion. Different memories echoed in their minds, gradually replacing everything else.

Time passed breath by breath, and each breath, for Li Yuanlei and the others, was a century!

Their memories rapidly flowed in their minds; a century passed in a breath, gone in a flash. Gradually, two hundred years, three hundred years, five hundred years… until… a thousand years.

Ten breaths of time, a thousand years of existence. Those memories flickered in the minds of Li Yuanlei and the others, finally settling on a thousand years ago. They, too, seemed to have returned to a thousand years ago with those memories.

A thousand years ago, their cultivation was not as it was now. As memories flowed, Li Yuanlei's Nirvana Cleansing Great Perfection cultivation actually regressed. In ten breaths of time, he seemed to have become a Nirvana Cleansing Middle Stage Cultivator!

Not only him, but everyone around him, in these ten breaths, under the flow of memories, their cultivation all changed, becoming what they were a thousand years ago.

Furthermore, one Cultivator was severely injured a thousand years ago and only recovered after a century of secluded cultivation. But now, as memories flowed, his body trembled, his Primordial Spirit withered, and he was exactly like his severely injured state a thousand years ago!

However, they had no awareness whatsoever, their eyes remained lost, completely unaware of the changes that had occurred to them, as if everything had truly returned to a thousand years ago.

Time continued to flow, breath by breath… Gradually, Li Yuanlei and the others' memories rotated again, a hundred years, five hundred years… another thousand years!

A full two thousand years of time were ruthlessly turned over in their memories, like the pages of a mortal scholar's book. They had already seen the sixth page, but a force, like a gust of wind, gently blew the pages, flipping them back, and finally returning to the third page.

Li Yuanlei's body trembled violently, his eyes growing even more bewildered, unable to awaken. His aura had already regressed to Nirvana Scrutiny Great Perfection. Among the Cultivators beside him, there was a young girl who had been Cultivating for the shortest time, less than three thousand years. Her regression was even more severe, directly falling from the second step to a Soul Transformation Cultivator.

It seemed that if time continued to flow, if another thousand years passed, this girl would completely vanish from the world, as if she had never existed.

Time, as always, continued to flow. All of this existed between reality and illusion, but with a turn of Wang Lin's Divine Sense, everything seemed to be able to instantly become eternal, like blooming youth.

Fortunately, he did not continue. At the twelfth breath, Wang Lin opened his eyes, which seemed to contain the heavens and earth, having comprehended a change in rule that was indescribable yet tangible.

“Nonsense!” Wang Lin, opening his eyes, immediately saw the people who had inexplicably been drawn into his mind, and also saw their physical bodies outside the Wind Realm mountain rocks.

Frowning slightly, he flicked his large sleeve, and the heavens and earth immediately roared. Li Yuanlei and the others' bodies trembled violently. The more than two thousand years that had vanished instantly returned to their bodies, and they all suddenly awoke, their eyes filled with horror and unbelievable fear. They seemed to have had a dream, but that dream was so real that their entire bodies were drenched in cold sweat.

The Mosquito King shrieked, as if it had made a mistake, its huge proboscis rubbing against Wang Lin's body. In its mind, since its master was Cultivating, he would naturally need some people to verify his achievements after succeeding, so it forcibly kept Li Yuanlei and the others.

The moment Wang Lin opened his eyes, causing Li Yuanlei and the others to awaken and the more than two thousand years to return to their respective bodies, in the depths of this Wind Immortal Realm, the petrified old man's eyes suddenly flickered with a bright light.

“This child is not simple!”
