Chapter 1220: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Life and Death Tribulation Appears.

What was shattered was not just the courage of the Grand Elder of the Wuji Sect, but also the hearts and minds of tens of thousands of Cultivators surrounding the collapsed Grand Competition platform, broken by the Flowing Moon Divine Ability.

The power of Fading Night had already deeply shocked the minds of all watching Cultivators, let alone the power of Time Reversal, which they had never heard of. Under the Flowing Moon Divine Ability, except for the white-haired old man, all the surrounding Cultivators had their minds drawn in, experiencing varying degrees of Time Reversal.

That endless recollection and terrifying fright caused all eyes looking at Wang Lin at this moment to be filled with awe.

Famous in a single battle!

At this moment, no one here did not know the Guiyuan Sect, and no one did not know Lü Zihao of the Guiyuan Sect!

Feng Hai's resentment towards Wang Lin had long since collapsed at this moment, forcibly dispelled by the awe in his heart, daring not to let even a trace resurface. Having personally witnessed Fading Night and Flowing Moon, he was already terrified, his scalp tingling. He asked himself if he would surely die under such Divine Abilities!

There were many Elders of the Wuji Sect who shared the same thoughts as him. They were all silent now, their gazes filled with reverence, falling upon Wang Lin, whose figure stood tall and straight on the collapsed and shattered platform.

Profound and unfathomable!

From the moment Wang Lin appeared until now, only those four words could describe the shock he delivered to the minds of all the watching Cultivators. No one could guess what other Divine Abilities Wang Lin possessed that he had yet to use. It was precisely this unknown that made Wang Lin's impression on them deepen.

Furthermore, rumors were already circulating before this person even appeared, and after he showed up, he was recognized as the one who forcefully traversed the sixth- and Seventh Stage Star Domains and used the Spirit Command Seal of the Divine Sect.

All these factors, invisibly, made Wang Lin seem even more profound and unfathomable to everyone.

Almost everyone believed that Wang Lin had definitely not used all his Divine Abilities up to this point; he must have some killer moves he hadn't revealed yet!

Wang Lin represented the Guiyuan Sect. After this incident, a saying would circulate throughout the Cloud Sea Star Domain for countless years.

Better to traverse the Beast Mist Realm than provoke the Guiyuan Sect!

The Sect Master of the Wuji Sect, the white-robed old man, sighed inwardly. Although he had already overestimated the opponent, it now appeared he had still underestimated him. Whether it was the finger in the sky, the extraction of the star soul, the power of Fading Night, or the final Time Reversal—all these Divine Abilities were sufficient proof of the opponent's might.

"This person must be a Cultivator who has undergone the Heaven-Man Tribulation. Due to unhealed severe injuries, his cultivation has dropped, but his Divine Abilities remain, allowing him to fight the Grand Elder! Furthermore, this person should hold no ill will. Otherwise, with his cultivation, he must have acquired many Magic Treasures. If he were to use Magic Treasures for assistance, it would surely be a fierce battle! Such a Cultivator must be treated with the highest respect by my Wuji Sect, and his freedom must not be restricted… Moreover, with this person fighting in this eighth-rank Grand Competition, my Wuji Sect will surely rise!"

Lü Yanfei looked at Wang Lin’s figure, her mind shocked. Even she had never imagined that Wang Lin would be so powerful. Recalling the words her Master spoke a hundred years ago after performing the Spirit Selection Technique before death, Lü Yanfei’s eyes held a faint shimmer.

Lu Yuncong wore a bitter expression and secretly shook his head. He had thought that with his increase in cultivation, even if he wasn't as strong as the opponent, the difference wouldn't be too vast. But now it seemed he was wrong, and this mistake was likely made a hundred years ago. If he had forcibly attacked a hundred years ago, he would probably have already vanished into thin air.

Li Qianmei's heart was equally shaken. Looking at that tall, straight figure, she could no longer distinguish the distance between a hundred years ago and now. She didn't understand why his cultivation had changed so drastically, but none of that mattered to her. What mattered was that she saw him here.

What mattered was that she left the Demon Sect to see a person, and that person, she saw… that was all.

Mu Bingmei bit her lower lip. Every time she saw Wang Lin's figure in her heart, there was an astonishing change, but she never imagined that in this chance encounter in a foreign land, the opponent would have changed as drastically as heaven and earth.

Mu Bingmei understood that none of this had any connection to her anymore. Since their farewell in Kunxu, she and he had already become strangers; even meeting now was merely brushing past one another.

It seemed destined that the indifference between them—neither familiar nor strange—would always exist and never dissipate.

No one noticed Wang Shanshan of the Divine Sect, whose eyes held a strange light as she stared at Wang Lin. With a gentle curve of her right hand, a Jade Slip appeared in her grasp. She clearly inscribed everything she saw onto the Jade Slip, and finally, with a squeeze of her jade hand, the Jade Slip immediately turned into invisible smoke and vanished from her hand.

Using this strange method, Wang Shanshan transmitted everything she saw to her Master in the Divine Sect. She did this unintentionally; it was simply her duty, upon discovering a Prodigy among the Cloud Sea Cultivators, to inform her Master, allowing her Master to know. She even thought that after her Master saw all this, he would surely summon this person to join the Divine Sect during this Grand Competition!

However, even she did not expect the massive uproar that the images inscribed within this small Jade Slip would cause after being seen by her Master!!!

The flap of a butterfly's wings often seems gentle and peaceful, but in reality, a world-shaking storm is roaring to life somewhere unknown!

"This old man has lost. Fellow Daoist Lü's Divine Abilities are something this old man has never seen in his life. Presumably, your comprehension of the Heavenly Dao must be extremely profound; this old man admires you!" The white-haired old man retreated, stopping in mid-air. His expression gradually calmed, and the way he looked at Wang Lin naturally changed, treating him as an equal.

"Fellow Daoist, you overpraise me." Wang Lin's complexion was also extremely pale, but his expression was composed. He clasped his fists and spoke in a deep voice.

At this moment, hearty laughter came from the Wuji Sect viewing platform. It was the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect who had risen. His smile carried delight, without the slightest hint of arrogance. He stepped forward, approaching within dozens of yards of Wang Lin, clasped his fists, and laughed, "Fellow Daoist Lü, why be modest? We all witnessed today's events, and this old man is also greatly impressed by Fellow Daoist Lü's Divine Abilities."

Wang Lin smiled faintly, clasped his fists in acknowledgment, and remained silent.

"For the Guiyuan Sect to have Fellow Daoist Lü presiding over it, remaining in a fifth-rank Star Domain seems somewhat inappropriate." The white-haired old man glanced at the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect and spoke calmly.

As the Grand Elder of the Wuji Sect, he was obsessed with cultivation throughout his life and paid no heed to worldly affairs. This was the first time he had ever spoken such words on behalf of a sect, showing his intention to form a friendship with Wang Lin, and also to mend the rudeness of having just tested and taught the opponent a lesson in the previous battle.

The Sect Master of the Wuji Sect laughed heartily and nodded, saying, "Indeed, Elder Liu speaks correctly. Given Fellow Daoist Lü's cultivation, and his origin in the Guiyuan Sect, remaining in a fifth-rank Star Domain is improper. Fellow Daoist Lü, how about allowing the Guiyuan Sect to relocate into the Seventh Stage Star Domain?"

Wang Lin's expression was calm, and he clasped his fists, smiling, "In that case, I thank both Fellow Daoists."

"It's nothing. This is what this old man ought to do, Fellow Daoist Lü, there is no need for thanks. However, regarding the matter we just discussed…" The Sect Master of the Wuji Sect flicked his large sleeve and smiled gently.

"I, Lü, can participate in the eighth-rank sect Grand Competition, but I am still recovering from severe injuries and need to request an item from Fellow Daoist for healing. If this item is given to me, I will naturally give my all in the eighth-rank sect Grand Competition!" Wang Lin remained composed, looking at the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect and smiling.

"Oh? What does Fellow Daoist Lü want?" Upon hearing Wang Lin's words, even the Grand Elder felt slightly curious and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, just say it. As long as it is something this old man can decide upon, let alone the eighth-rank Grand Competition, even if there were no competition, this old man would gift it to the Fellow Daoist for healing." The Sect Master of the Wuji Sect said with a smile.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and his lips moved slightly, sending his Divine Thought into the ears of both the Wuji Sect Sect Master and the Grand Elder.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two men immediately shifted. They looked at each other and both fell into contemplation.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, this is not the place to speak. Since the competition among our Wuji Sect sub-sects is now finished, why don't you accompany the two of us to the main sect for a brief chat, and we can discuss this further?" The Wuji Sect Sect Master seemed to have some reservations and clasped his fists.

"Since the Sect Master invites me, I will naturally follow." Wang Lin clasped his fists and smiled.

The Wuji Sect Sect Master smiled, then turned to look at Feng Hai and the others on the viewing platform. His expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Elder Feng, now that this competition is over, you are responsible for the remaining matters. However, our Wuji Sect's eighth-rank Grand Competition is imminent. Before then, I ask all Fellow Cultivators here to stay for a few more days and not leave in a hurry." By the end of his speech, the Wuji Sect Sect Master's tone was already laced with coldness and killing intent.

To ensure the true Grand Ceremony of the eighth-rank sects a few days later, and to prevent the existence of Wang Lin from being leaked so that he could act as a surprise force in the battle of the eighth-rank sects, he needed to completely seal off the news, even if it meant offending some sects.

Feng Hai's eyes flashed, understanding the Sect Master's intention, and he nodded.

The Wuji Sect Sect Master then looked at Li Qianmei, Wang Shanshan, and the others. After a slight hesitation and clasping his fists in acknowledgment, he did not summon them, but instead smiled at Wang Lin, stood up, and transformed into a Long Arc of Light, heading straight for the distance.

Wang Lin swayed and immediately followed. However, before leaving, he glanced back, sighed inwardly, and said nothing.

The Grand Elder stepped forward, walking side-by-side with Wang Lin, introducing the affairs of the Wuji Sect along the way. They chatted happily, as if nothing unpleasant had ever occurred before.

The Wuji Sect's main gate was not on this Cultivation Planet, but elsewhere. Led by the Wuji Sect Sect Master, all three were Great Divine Ability Cultivators, and their speed was astonishing. They quickly broke through the firmament, left the planet directly, stepped onto another Cultivation Planet, and gradually saw the Wuji Sect's main gate!

As a sect belonging to the eighth-rank Star Domain, the Wuji Sect's main gate was actually an entire Cultivation Planet. Upon it, magnificent buildings stood tall everywhere, countless pavilions dotted the landscape, and vast cultivation squares spread out.

Upon approaching, Wang Lin felt the power of Restrictions, which were pervasive across this Cultivation Planet. Faintly, his gaze forward even revealed that there were hundreds of spatial rifts opened up on this Cultivation Planet, varying in size, clearly containing separate realms!

"Within the Wuji Sect, there are three hundred and seventy-two Spatial Realms. One hundred and eleven of them are boundless, and the rest are either storage areas or places where successive generations of Great Divine Ability Cultivators of my Wuji Sect entered seclusion." The Grand Elder introduced this while standing beside Wang Lin.

As they proceeded, the three passed over stretches of buildings and pavilions. Along the way, any Wuji Sect Cultivators they encountered immediately showed utmost respect the moment they saw the trio, abandoning all activity and hastily clasping their fists to stand still, only daring to move after the three had departed.

All three were moving extremely fast. Before long, a mountain peak that pierced the clouds appeared before Wang Lin. Clouds coiled around this mountain, making it look like a mountain in the mist, faintly exuding Immortal Qi.

Moreover, a sense of Concept instantly permeated Wang Lin's mind upon seeing the mountain peak.

This Concept was a comprehension of the sword, as if the mountain before him had transformed into a sharp sword, eager to shoot into the sky and cleave the heavens and earth!

The moment he saw this mountain peak, Wang Lin’s body paused, and a sharp light suddenly flashed across his eyes.

Vaguely, it was as if he had discovered something, and his mind violently shook!
