Chapter 1247: Peak of the Cloud Sea—The Strong are Respected!

Stepping back into the Wuji Sect, Wang Lin did not pause for a moment. His body flickered, and he shot straight toward the front. The white-robed old woman quickly followed behind him.

Due to the activation of the Teleport Formation, the Wuji Sect Disciples immediately noticed. The Sect members closest to the location flew up one after another and headed toward it.

But before they could approach, Wang Lin, moving like thunder, roared past these incoming Wuji Sect Disciples. The fierce winds he kicked up immediately forced the Wuji Sect Disciples to retreat, their eyes filled with shock.

Wang Lin's speed had reached its limit. He performed a Spatial Shift while moving forward, and when he reappeared, he was already high above the Wuji Sect's mountain gate from back then. What he saw was that colossal mountain peak!

"This is it!" What Wang Lin wanted was the Ancient God Sword that had transformed into a mountain peak, which he suspected was a powerful Magical Artifact belonging to a Nine-Star Ancient God! Only by obtaining this Magical Artifact could he be sure of rescuing Li Qianmei in that dangerous battlefield.

Time did not allow Wang Lin to deliberate further. He only knew one thing: he absolutely had to obtain this Ancient God Magical Artifact, and he had to be fast! Fast! Fast!

Approaching the mountain peak now, Wang Lin clasped his hands toward heaven and earth.

"I, Lü, borrow this mountain peak for a short time and will surely return it another day, even if I must pay any price! I hope all you Fellow Daoists of the Wuji Sect can assist me this one time!" Wang Lin said, taking a step forward, and instantly landed upon the mountain peak.

Without the slightest hesitation, the moment his feet landed, the Ancient God Power throughout his body violently circulated. Instantly, the mountain peak seemed to awaken again, and a vast, ancient aura burst forth from within it with a rumble.

This aura was immensely powerful, enough to shake the heavens. It contained an ultimate Ancient God Power which surged forth, causing a massive vortex to instantly materialize in the sky outside the mountain peak, rotating with thunderous rumbles.

In a brief instant, the Ancient God Aura within the mountain peak surged dramatically. The entire peak trembled, and even the earth began to shake. Waves of increasingly intense Ancient God Power rushed frantically from within the peak, through Wang Lin's feet, and into his body!

At that moment, Ancient God Star Points immediately materialized on Wang Lin's glabella. Although his Ancient God Star had shattered back then, the Ancient God Power within it had not dissipated. Instead, upon his death, it had all returned to his body, which had turned to stone, transforming into a chaotic Ancient God Power that permeated his entire being!

Now, stimulated by the Ancient God Aura contained within the mountain peak, an Ancient God Star Point abruptly appeared on Wang Lin's glabella with a roar!

Immediately following, the second Ancient God Star Point flashed and reappeared!

As the Ancient God Power, which had been dormant within the mountain peak for countless years, frantically surged into Wang Lin's body, loud thumping sounds emanated from his entire being. The mountain peak's tremor grew even more violent, and the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy instantly became chaotic.

Heaven and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds rolled backward!

Vaguely, it seemed as if an Ancient God was struggling to open its eyes from within the mountain peak, roaring and howling in its struggle, trying to break free!

At this moment, large cracks appeared on the mountain peak. Amidst the crashing sounds, the peak seemed about to split apart, rocks detached, and dust billowed up, shaking the heavens and the earth!

All of this happened in a flash. The moment Wang Lin absorbed the Ancient God Power from the mountain peak, six extremely powerful auras rushed in frantically from all directions. Two of them, surprisingly, burst forth from the Wuji Sect's Grand Hall inside the mountain peak.

Each of these six auras belonged to an exceptionally powerful Cultivator who had reached the Heaven and Human First Decay!

"Lü Zihao!!! It's actually you!! What are you doing!" A furious roar echoed through heaven and earth. It came from one of the two auras that rushed out from the mountain peak. This person had white hair and wore a black robe. After clearly seeing Wang Lin, he immediately shouted. Furthermore, upon seeing Wang Lin's actions, a murderous intent appeared on his face!

Wang Lin had never met this old man, but judging by his cultivation, he was clearly one of the Wuji Sect's Grand Elders!

Murderous intent flashed in the old man's eyes. He took a step forward, raised his right hand, and the thunder of heaven and earth instantly rumbled into motion. Endless lightning materialized in the sky and was completely absorbed by the old man's palm, frantically condensing. It actually transformed into nineteen earth-shattering Lightning Orbs, which roared directly toward Wang Lin!

Beside him was another person, who looked at Wang Lin with a gloomy expression. It was none other than the Wuji Sect Sect Master!

The moment those nineteen Lightning Orbs howled closer, Wang Lin abruptly looked up. He was rapidly absorbing the Ancient God Power inside the mountain peak, and the third Ancient God Star Point suddenly materialized on his glabella.

"Lightning!" A strange light shone in Wang Lin's eyes!

The instant those two words left his mouth, the Lightning Orbs, which were about to collide with the massive wave, abruptly halted. They all stopped mid-air, trembling violently. In a moment, they roared backward, no longer attacking Wang Lin, but instead heading straight for the black-robed old man!

It was as if Wang Lin was their true master, the Lord of Heaven and Earth Lightning!

The black-robed old man's expression changed. As he waved his large sleeve, he immediately collided with the Lightning Orbs. The thunderous roar that ensued shook the heavens and earth, stunning everyone!

"Fellow Daoist Lü, my Wuji Sect has treated you well. Back then, you wanted Extreme Yin, and I gave it to you. You killed the Xianyin Sect, and I did not pursue the matter. Moreover, Guiyuan Sect became a Seventh-Rank Star Domain Sect! Even during these ten years, though you disappeared and were rumored to have died, I still maintained my stance toward Guiyuan Sect!! Now that you have reappeared, you should be an honored guest at my Wuji Sect, yet you try to seize my Wuji Sect's mountain gate!!! Do you perhaps believe you are now qualified to oppose my Wuji Sect?!!" The Wuji Sect Sect Master stared at Wang Lin, his words like thunder!

Wang Lin remained silent, looking at the Wuji Sect Sect Master. After a long while, he slowly said, "I owe the Wuji Sect an immense favor, and the item within this mountain peak will certainly be repaid later! However, circumstances necessitate this; I must take this item! I will definitely come here later to offer a sincere apology."

The Ancient God Aura within the mountain peak beneath Wang Lin's feet surged once more, continuously rushing into his body, causing his clothes to billow. His Ancient God Aura dramatically increased, and the fourth Star Point condensed on his glabella!

"A favor? Who do you, Lü Zihao, think you are? What qualification do you have to owe my Wuji Sect a favor? Do you think you are the Grand Elder of the Divine Sect?!" The black-robed old man, who had his own lightning reversed and counterattacked by Wang Lin, was slightly pale after resisting the Divine Ability he had released. Hearing this, he sneered mockingly. He took a step directly toward Wang Lin, forming Hand Seals with both hands, and an earth-shattering Divine Ability materialized, while purple lightning erupted around his body!

The Wuji Sect Sect Master's expression grew even colder. He had not treated Guiyuan Sect the same over the past ten years as he claimed. Rather, upon learning of Wang Lin's disappearance and presumed death, he planned to keep Guiyuan Sect available for the Divine Sect's needs. He would never oppose the Divine Sect because of one person or one branch sect! Nor would he protect a small, worthless Guiyuan Sect.

At this moment, he also took a step forward, pointing his right hand toward the sky. Instantly, a seven-foot-long sword materialized in his hand. This long sword was shaped like a Dragon, and the moment it appeared, a Dragon Roar shook the heavens!

The speed of the two of them was unimaginable; they instantly closed in on Wang Lin!

The moment their Divine Abilities and Dragon Sword arrived, Wang Lin suddenly pointed his right index finger forward. Immediately, two streams of Qi, one white and one black, materialized from his index finger, taking the form of two small deer. At the same time, ten thousand, a million, five million, and ten million Sword Qi violently erupted!

Ten million Sword Qi covered the sky and earth, emerging spectacularly at this moment! This ten million Sword Qi could even injure Daoist Shui; its power was unparalleled! Appearing for the second time in Wang Lin's hands, it transformed into a Sword Storm and roared away.

The thunderous roar instantly echoed across the entire Cultivation Planet. Even the mist outside the Starry Sky rolled back frantically, seemingly afraid to approach! The black-robed old man was struck head-on by the ten million Sword Qi. The lightning around his body collapsed, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and immediately retreated, his expression showing unprecedented shock!

The Wuji Sect Sect Master's face changed drastically. He swung the Dragon Sword in his hand, and immediately an endless Curtain of Swords appeared before him, constantly resisting amidst crashing sounds. However, he was still forced back by the fierce impact of the ten million Sword Qi, unable to approach even slightly!

"This Lü Zihao was already very strong back then, and after ten years unseen, he is actually even stronger than before!!!"

"I do not wish to be enemies with the Wuji Sect. I only borrow the item inside this mountain peak for a short use and will certainly return it another day!" Wang Lin's voice, permeated by the ten million Sword Qi, was sincere.

"Why should the Wuji Sect lend it to you? Why should we believe you!!" The Wuji Sect Sect Master retreated, avoiding the Sword Qi, and spoke grimly.

"Based on the fact that Daoist Shui of the Divine Sect tried to kill me but failed, and was instead seriously injured and forced into seclusion! Based on the Blood Oath I swear here!" Wang Lin bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, which transformed into a blood-colored rune containing a trace of Wang Lin's soul! This blood-colored rune flashed as it flew out of the Sword Qi Storm and floated before the Wuji Sect Sect Master.

Wang Lin's words were like startling thunder, shaking the minds of the Wuji Sect Sect Master and the black-robed old man beside him!

"Daoist Shui of the Divine Sect failed to kill you!!" The Wuji Sect Sect Master gasped, his eyes showing disbelief.

"Words are unsubstantiated. No one in the world will believe this matter, and in my opinion, your Blood Oath is utterly useless!" The black-robed old man had retreated twice in front of Wang Lin—something that had never happened given his cultivation and status. At this moment, he couldn't help but sneer. His gaze flashed, he raised his right hand, suddenly grabbed the Blood Vow formed by Wang Lin's blood, and fiercely squeezed it!

With a boom, the blood-colored rune shattered!

Wang Lin's face immediately turned pale, but a cold light slowly emerged in his eyes. He had done his utmost. This Ancient God Treasure did not originally belong to the Wuji Sect. Out of consideration for his past association with the Wuji Sect, his words had been extremely sincere, and he had even left a Blood Oath, yet all of it was completely useless!

"The Cultivation World speaks with strength; the strong are respected…" Wang Lin's eyes flashed.

Just then, the four powerful auras that had been approaching from afar suddenly closed in with a roar. These four auras belonged to four Grand Elders of the Wuji Sect, all possessing profound cultivation!

Upon arrival, they did not speak further with Wang Lin but rapidly unleashed their Divine Abilities, heading straight for Wang Lin, who was standing on the mountain peak!

The Lunar New Year is approaching, and there are too many family matters. My parents also need Er Gen's help. Previously, Er Gen kept pushing and pushing to save up for bursts of updates, until these last two days where I really couldn't push anymore. My parents only have me as a son, and they are getting old. As a son, I cannot let them overwork themselves.

For today's update, this is the only chapter for now. However, when I return tonight, no matter how tired Er Gen is, I will write. I absolutely will not give up, and I will strive to deliver another chapter before midnight.

Circumstances make this necessary. Please be understanding and patient!
