Chapter 1281: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Disciples’ Incense Offering

The Thousand Zhang Realm contracted and dissipated, merging into Wang Lin's body. But Wang Lin, standing stunned in the starry sky, only recovered after a long time. His expression was extremely strange, faintly showing disbelief.

In silence, his body flickered and disappeared from the starry sky. When he reappeared, he was back on the mountain peak of the Cultivation Planet, sitting cross-legged, dazed for a moment, still finding it hard to believe.

After half an incense stick's time, Wang Lin closed his eyes and spread his mental energy. Above the Primordial Spirit inside his body, a small Vortex sphere floated, and within it was the Summon Wind and Rain Realm!

Although the Summon Wind and Rain Realm was only a thousand zhang in size outside Wang Lin's body, inside the small Vortex sphere, it was boundless! Currently, it resembled a world, with numerous continents floating within. These continents were all formed from the collapse of the Immortal Sealing Seal… On these various continents of different sizes, battle souls existed. These battle souls emitted no mournful cries; instead, they sat cross-legged, and a milky white aura emanated from the tops of their heads, drifting upward. As this realm absorbed it, the aura unexpectedly merged into Wang Lin's mind, heading straight for his five Origins.

Surrounded by this milky white aura, Wang Lin's five Origins burst forth with majestic vitality, as if withered wood had encountered spring.

"This… this is…" Wang Lin was still in shock even now. Because he recognized this milky white aura, his shock was even more intense, like thunder echoing and circling continuously in his mind.

Wang Lin was not unfamiliar with this aura. The statue formed by his Ancient Demon Clone in the Demon Spirit Land also possessed this aura when receiving continuous worship from the Thirteen Clans… In the Cloud Sea Star Domain, during the battle with Daoist Shui, the Divine Ability Daoist Shui finally used also absorbed this aura… The discussions with the Boundary Lord and the guidance from Daoist Blue Dream all spoke of one key factor for achieving Major Achievement of the Origin and becoming a Third Step mighty figure: Disciples' Incense Offering!

Wang Lin did not understand what Disciples' Incense Offering truly was or how it was born. But the current scene, which he had unintentionally created by fusing the Immortal Sealing Seal with the Summon Wind and Rain Realm, made him even more perplexed.

All these battle souls were killed by him throughout his life, yet now they had become the providers of Disciples' Incense Offering for him. This was Wang Lin's fortune, the legacy of the Boundary Lord, and an anomaly almost impossible to replicate. Even Daoist Blue Dream could not have predicted such a change arising from the Fusion of the Dao he taught.

The Immortal Sealing Seal was refined from the Thunder Realm continent. The Thunder Realm, as one of the Four Great Immortal Realms, was established countless years ago by the Boundary Lord in an attempt to prevent the Sealed Realm Grand Formation from absorbing incense, intending to allow people within the Inner Realm to also generate incense.

Although the Four Great Immortal Realms were ultimately destroyed, the continents within the Immortal Realm were the best Materials in this world for generating incense! If that were all, incense still wouldn't appear, but under the Heavenly Tribulation back then, these Immortal Realm fragments underwent refinement by the Heavenly Tribulation. It was as if the Heavenly Dao was refining a treasure for Wang Lin, forging the continental fragments into a supreme treasure!

All the mechanisms for generating incense within it condensed under this Heavenly Tribulation and were refined anew.

Furthermore, because Wang Lin unintentionally used this object for Sow Beans to Make Soldiers, it created its own cycle of life and death, transforming into the Eighteen Hells. It absorbed the souls he had killed throughout his life, preventing them from entering Reincarnation and confining them there. Over time, they gradually became permeated by the power of incense generation within the continent.

However, if there was no catalyst to activate all of this, it would slowly dissipate. Wang Lin would not have discovered the abnormality of the battle souls, and they would only have been permeated by the power of incense generation without emitting any Incense Offering power.

This catalyst was Daoist Blue Dream helping Wang Lin fuse Summon Wind and Rain into a single Realm! It was like finding a root for rootless duckweed!

Coupled with Wang Lin's attempt to fuse the Sow Beans to Make Soldiers Immortal Sealing Seal with this Realm, an anomaly appeared, the catalyst emerged, and this scene unfolded!

Although the battle souls within this Realm are currently few, and the Incense Offering power is very weak—far, far less than Daoist Shui's two billion disciples—this is genuine Incense Offering, the key to becoming a Third Step mighty figure, and a Dao Treasure fiercely sought after by Third Step Cultivators!

Wang Lin's expression was strange. He opened his eyes and remained silent for a moment. He stopped thinking about this matter. After all, the crisis originating outside the Blue Silk Clan had not yet passed. Even if he had unintentionally created such a treasure, it would be useless if he couldn't resolve the danger posed by the woman in white.

His gaze flashed, and Wang Lin grabbed at the Void Realm with his right hand. A storage rift appeared before him, and a massive finger bone slowly flew out of the rift, floating in mid-air, looking like a continent!

The Ancient God's entire finger bone was comparable to a Cultivation Planet. Even though this was only half of it, the majesty was intense, something Wang Lin clearly felt below.

The Ancient God Qi contained within this finger bone was heavy, almost material, but impossible to absorb. Within that Qi, a trace of will vaguely existed, preventing others from devouring it.

Staring at the half-finger bone, the Ancient God Star Points on Wang Lin's glabella materialized and slowly rotated, attempting to absorb it, but ultimately failing.

"Tuo Sen uses star points to devour finger bones. This technique is extremely powerful; he can even devour Third Step mighty figures to strengthen his own star point power… However, this Ancient God finger bone contains a will, so it must be extremely difficult for Tuo Sen to devour it… Moreover, I am not without a way to absorb it…" Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he raised his right hand, grabbing toward the spatial rift again.

A faint light flashed within, and the Kunji Whip coiled around the Primordial Spirit of the white-haired old man of the Moon Devouring Clan, flying directly out and landing before Wang Lin.

The white-haired old man's Primordial Spirit was tightly sealed. The Crescent Moon Mark on his glabella flickered with faint moonlight, resisting the Kunji Whip.

"Since this Ancient God finger bone was possessed by the Moon Devouring Clan, they must have some method to utilize it…" Wang Lin's gaze fell upon the white-haired old man's Primordial Spirit.

This person's cultivation was extremely high, comparable to the Azure Dragon Saint Emperor who escaped the Rain Realm back then. His cultivation seemed to have reached the Fourth Decline of Heaven and Man. If Wang Lin had met him alone, he certainly wouldn't have been his match.

However, under Tuo Sen's powerful attacks, this person was clearly inferior, ultimately being severely wounded by Tuo Sen, and his Physical Body was heavily damaged and dissipated by the Ancient God Power that erupted the moment the finger bone collapsed.

Even his Primordial Spirit was heavily damaged, which gave Wang Lin the opportunity to capture him!

However, this old man's cultivation was extremely strong, and his Primordial Spirit had materialized, comparable to a Physical Body. If not for the Kunji Whip's strangeness, which delivered a fatal blow targeting the Primordial Spirit and soul body, Wang Lin would likewise have been unable to Seal him.

Staring at the white-haired old man's Primordial Spirit, Wang Lin formed Hand Seals with both hands and pointed forward. The Kunji Whip instantly contracted, emitting a dark golden light. The white-haired old man's Primordial Spirit immediately trembled, a look of pain appearing on his face, and he opened his eyes to coldly stare at Wang Lin.

"A mere Six-Star Ancient God! My Moon Devouring Clan killed many in earlier years. Even if you capture this old man's Primordial Spirit, what can you do? This old man's Primordial Spirit is already materialized, indestructible and immortal!" The old man sneered, simply closing his eyes and refusing to look at Wang Lin. He tried to circulate his vital energy, but within the Kunji Whip, everything was completely Sealed.

Wang Lin did not speak. Instead, he waved his right hand, and bloody light spread. The Blood Sword flashed out, held in his hand, and he fiercely stabbed toward the white-haired old man's Primordial Spirit.

With a boom, the Blood Sword pierced directly through the white-haired old man's Primordial Spirit. The old man let out a miserable shriek, abruptly opened his eyes, and glared fiercely at Wang Lin. Amidst his screams, Wang Lin used the Blood Sword to slice open the old man's Primordial Spirit.

A large amount of Primordial Spirit essence Qi vented out and was swallowed into Wang Lin's body with a single breath.

"I can't kill you? A member of a slave race dares to be arrogant!" Wang Lin's voice was cold. As he spoke, he waved the Blood Sword in his right hand again, slicing directly through the white-haired old man's Primordial Spirit. The old man's screams intensified, his entire body trembling. Staring at the Blood Sword in Wang Lin's hand, terror filled his eyes.

"This… what kind of sword is this!!!"

Wang Lin completely ignored the white-haired old man's words, his expression indifferent. He continuously swung the Blood Sword in his right hand, stabbing at the old man's Primordial Spirit. The old man's miserable screams grew fainter as time passed. He vaguely realized Wang Lin's plan, and deep terror appeared in his eyes.

Wang Lin did not kill him but continuously weakened him. Especially under the Kunji Whip, the white-haired old man's Primordial Spirit could not recover. He could only watch in increasing horror as his Primordial Spirit essence Qi drained away, unable even to self-destruct.

Several hours later, the old man was weakened to the extreme. His vital energy had largely flowed away, and wounds covered his entire body. Especially since the Blood Sword contained suction force, every time it sliced through his body, it drew away a massive amount of vitality, leaving him agonizingly close to death.

Just then, Wang Lin's eyes flashed. The moment he put away the Blood Sword, he raised his right hand and violently pressed it onto the white-haired old man's Primordial Spirit. His Divine Sense burst forth, heading straight for the old man's Primordial Spirit, initiating the Soul Search Technique!

The old man's already weak screams suddenly became even more shrill. His body trembled, and his eyes showed frantic resistance. But the instant he resisted, Wang Lin waved his left hand, the Blood Sword reappeared, and directly pierced through the man's Primordial Spirit with a boom.

The old man's body violently shook, the resistance in his eyes collapsed, and his gaze became dull. His entire body gradually turned transparent, looking as if he could dissipate at any moment.

After a long time, Wang Lin raised his right hand, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

The white-haired old man's Primordial Spirit became completely transparent and slowly dissipated. But just as it vanished, bloody light flashed, and the Blood Sword dropped directly from his crown, piercing through his entire body, utterly destroying him!

The moment he died, within the Summon Wind and Rain Realm inside Wang Lin, on one of the continents, the soul of the white-haired old man materialized. He sat cross-legged, and an astonishing milky white aura emanated from the top of his head… "The Moon Devouring Clan is extremely vast. What Tuo Sen and I destroyed was merely one tribe. On these Primordial Stars, the Moon Devouring Clan has three more tribes… Furthermore, in the tribe located directly to the east, there is a Moon Devouring Clan Old Ancestor. This person is… a Third Step mighty figure!

Moreover, in this old man's memory, he had never met the Venerable Master in his life. He only knew that the Venerable Master seemed to have suffered severe injuries during a trip to the Inner Realm years ago and had been in seclusion treating his wounds in a mysterious location ever since!

Combining this with the words of Daoist Blue Dream, the statement that the Venerable Master fled in panic after being roared at by some existence in the Inner Realm is credible! The Venerable Master is severely injured and in seclusion… I just don't know how much of his injury has recovered…" A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes, and he looked up at the sky.

"It's time to leave… The woman in white must still be waiting outside…"
