Chapter 1221: Peak of the Cloud Sea, a Calamity from the Divine Sect

"This mountain is named Lu Su. Legend has it that in ancient times, when heaven and earth first opened, an external sword fell and pierced this place, eventually transforming into this mountain peak!" The Sect Master of Wuji Sect noticed Wang Lin's change in expression and said with a smile.

"What a great name! I wonder who named it?" Wang Lin's heart was shaking violently at this moment, far beyond what his outward appearance revealed. It had already stirred up a storm. He was not shocked by the Sword Intent of this mountain peak, but rather that within this mountain, he had found a trace of the feeling he remembered from back then, when Tu Si casually tossed the Trident after refining it, and it transformed into a mountain, condensing its soul.

Moreover, the moment he approached the Wuji Sect's mountain peak, he faintly felt the ancient god Star Point hidden within his glabella spinning rapidly.

"The name of this mountain was given by Zhou Yunsong, the first generation Sect Master of my Wuji Sect. He spent his later years on this mountain peak, attained the Dao in a dream, and in that dream, he saw a ten-thousand zhang great sword fall and transform into a mountain. Furthermore, a majestic voice echoed in his dream, speaking the two words 'Lu Su'!" It was the Grand Elder who explained this to Wang Lin, and as he spoke, his eyes revealed deep reverence.

"Lu Su… Lu Su… Lù Sù!" The strange light in Wang Lin's eyes gradually subsided, but the tremor in his heart was ten, hundred, or even a thousand times more intense than before!

The term 'Lù Sù' could easily be misheard as 'Lu Su'! But in the Ancient God Language, the meaning of this term was entirely different!

If interpreted literally, it meant a sword refined from stars!

Suppressing the tremor in his heart, the closer Wang Lin got to the mountain peak, the clearer he felt the deeply hidden ancient god aura within it. If he weren't a Royal Ancient God, this aura would have been impossible to detect in the slightest!

This aura, surprisingly, was also emitted by a Royal Ancient God!

The age of this aura had already reached an unbelievable degree, seeming even more ancient than Tu Si's! What shocked Wang Lin even more was that the mountain's aura seemed to grow weaker over the years. Now, unless one sensed it up close, like him, it was undetectable. Once the distance was slightly farther, there was no trace of it at all.

In fact, this was true. Tuosen had also come to the Cloud Sea before but hadn't noticed anything.

The moment Wang Lin's feet stepped onto the mountain, he even had a feeling that the mountain vibrated violently, as if a soul was slowly being awakened by his arrival.

This soul exuded desolation, as if it had been buried here for too long… too long… Taking a deep breath, Wang Lin barely managed to suppress the tremor in his heart and, with the Wuji Sect Master and Grand Elder, went to a towering pavilion at the top of the mountain.

Inside the pavilion, the awakened soul of the mountain grew increasingly intense. However, no one but Wang Lin could perceive this soul in the slightest; they would only feel that the surrounding primal energy and Immortal Qi had become richer.

With this surge of aura from the soul, the ancient god star hidden within Wang Lin's glabella spun even faster. The sixth star, which had shattered in the Seven-Colored Realm back then, actually showed faint signs of re-coalescing!

This discovery made Wang Lin immediately lower his head, hiding the huge change in his emotional state.

Fortunately, the Wuji Sect Master and the Grand Elder didn't pay too much attention. After all, Wang Lin's cultivation had already earned their recognition; he was already treated as an equal.

After they were seated, Wuji Sect Disciples served tea and respectfully left.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, regarding the extreme yin soul you just mentioned, my Wuji Sect does indeed possess some. However, most of them are dispersed to several sub-sects for absorption and cultivation. This item is not originally from my Wuji Sect, but a gift from the Divine Sect, and it wasn't given only to my Wuji Sect. Other sects in the eighth-rank Star Domain also received some, with the purpose of having us cultivate them on their behalf," the Wuji Sect Master pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

Wang Lin picked up his teacup and took a sip, masking the shock in his heart. He clearly felt that the longer he stayed here, the greater the benefits to him. But similarly, if he stayed too long, it would inevitably expose something.

He clearly felt that the slowly awakening aura here seemed to intensify, like boiling water. He feared it wouldn't be long before even outsiders would notice signs of it!

Especially after cultivating to the Heaven-Man Tribulation, one's perception of changes in heaven and earth becomes even more apparent. If this mountain's aura usually slept, it would be fine, but if the ancient god aura within this mountain continued to intensify, it would naturally arouse suspicion.

"What kind of sword is hidden beneath this mountain, and which Royal Ancient God, not hesitating to废掉 (discard) his own ancient god stars, refined a sword from them?!" Wang Lin put down his teacup and remained silent.

"The extreme yin soul that Fellow Daoist Lü desires is indeed useful for healing, but…" The Wuji Sect Master saw Wang Lin's silence and exchanged glances with the Grand Elder beside him. The Grand Elder hesitated, then said in a deep voice, "Since Fellow Daoist Lü needs it for healing, I believe we can make an exception…"

They weren't without suspicion regarding Wang Lin's purpose in asking for the extreme yin soul, but both extreme yin and extreme yang souls had healing effects, and Wang Lin was indeed injured; they naturally understood this point.

Thus, even if there was suspicion, it wasn't very strong. Moreover, they had witnessed Wang Lin display his Divine Abilities, and they felt he was unfathomable. Such a person's injuries might not be curable by ordinary Medicinal Pills.

"Forget it. These extreme yin souls, gifted by the Divine Sect back then, have never been collected and have accumulated quite a bit. I suppose giving some to Fellow Daoist Lü, the Divine Sect wouldn't know," the Wuji Sect Master said slowly after a moment of silence.

The purpose of his words was to let Wang Lin know that the item he requested was by no means simple, and that the Wuji Sect was essentially giving him, Lü Zihao, a tribute meant for the Divine Sect.

Although the situation was not as serious as the Wuji Sect Master described, it was nonetheless true.

Wang Lin's expression showed gratitude. He looked at the two in front of him, clasped his fists, and sincerely said, "For my injuries, to have the Wuji Sect offer tribute meant for the Divine Sect, this matter makes me immensely grateful. I will certainly give my all in this eighth-rank Grand Competition!"

As he spoke, the ancient god aura within the mountain frantically flowed into his body through his feet, surging into his glabella, causing the collapsed and shattered sixth star to condense at an extremely fast speed.

The Wuji Sect Master looked at Wang Lin, smiled, and nodded. He made a grabbing motion in the Void Realm with his right hand, and a Jade Slip appeared in his grasp. He inscribed Divine Thought into it and tossed it out. The Jade Slip immediately ignited and flew rapidly out of the pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, please wait here for a moment. I have already sent someone to retrieve some extreme yin souls."

Wang Lin nodded at the words, picked up his teacup, and took another sip. He was waiting for exactly that sentence. If the other party had asked him to leave at that moment, he would have found a way to linger a bit longer.

In just this short time, his shattered sixth star, hidden within his glabella, already showed signs of becoming a vortex. As the ancient god aura frantically merged, Wang Lin could clearly feel that the sword refined from the ancient god Star Point within this mountain contained a power so immense that even he felt terrified and horrified.

"To make my ancient god Star Point show signs of recovery in mere moments, could the ancient god who refined a sword from Star Points be… could it be a nine-star Royal Ancient God?!" Wang Lin put down his teacup, once again suppressing the shock in his heart.

On another Cultivation Planet, under the supervision of Feng Hai and other Elders, the tens of thousands of Cultivators were dispersed after the sub-sect Grand Competition, each returning to their residences. As for Guiyuan Sect, under Feng Hai's personal escort, they moved from their remote dwelling into the courtyard prepared for seventh-rank sects.

At the same time, a majestic Formation was activated on this Cultivation Planet. Without a Token, one could not leave, but entering this Cultivation Planet was not an issue.

Li Qianmei, along with the Guiyuan Sect group, also moved into this courtyard. She stood in the yard now, as dusk slowly fell. She gazed at the night sky, waiting for Wang Lin to return.

Mu Bingmei stood alone, silently, a thousand zhang away from the Guiyuan Sect courtyard. Her blurred figure, cast by the moonlight on the ground, revealed loneliness, appearing desolate in the night. She bit her lower lip, waiting for Wang Lin to return, just like Li Qianmei. She had some words to say to Wang Lin, and they had to be said… Similarly, at this moment, far outside the eighth-rank Star Domain, in the most concentrated star mist of the ninth-rank Star Domain, on a colossal Cultivation Planet, in a palace emanating a chilling aura, a young boy sat cross-legged.

This boy had rosy skin but white hair. When his eyes opened and closed, a piercing glint flickered. In front of him floated seven Jade Slips, each engraved with a name. The person engraved on the third Jade Slip was named Lü Zihao!

The boy raised his right hand and touched each of the seven Jade Slips one by one, finally stopping on the Jade Slip engraved with Lü Zihao's name.

"Ever since Master's aura dispersed, I mobilized the power of the Divine Sect to search the Cloud Sea, looking for all suspicious individuals, and finally found these seven people! After eliminating them one by one, only this Lü Zihao…" A murderous glint flashed in the white-haired boy's eyes!

Just then, he suddenly frowned. He made a grabbing motion in the Void Realm with his left hand, and a ball of flame immediately appeared in his palm. As the flame burned, a Jade Slip appeared within it. This Jade Slip was precisely the item Wang Shanshan had sent out from the Wuji Sect using a special method.

The boy grabbed with his left hand, and the flame strangely merged into his hand. In his mind, scene after scene of Wang Lin in the Wuji Sect clearly appeared!

The boy had been sitting cross-legged, but after seeing the images in his mind, he suddenly stood up. The moment he rose, the seven Jade Slips engraved with names in front of him, except for the one belonging to Lü Zihao, all shattered!

A powerful Origin aura, similar to that of Master Lu in the Luotian Star Domain, suddenly erupted from the boy's body, stirring heaven and earth, even causing the star mist outside this Cultivation Planet to surge violently!

"It's him! Better to kill a thousand innocent than let one suspicious person go!"

Since entering the Cloud Sea Star Domain, Er Gen has been brewing a series of the biggest climaxes in the Cloud Sea, or rather, the biggest climax of this book so far! Today, the fuse has been lit. I am confident I can write this climax well and make it unforgettable for everyone!

Still the same words: don't rush, let Er Gen slowly tell the tale.
