Chapter 1286: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Scam (Fourth Update)

Whether it was an army of thousands or thousands of Cultivators, even in this Star Domain where the Demon Scorpion Clan resided, the other Cultivation Planets had noticed, and a large number of Cultivators flew out.

But right now, in the woman in white's perception, only she and that thousand-foot light figure remained in this world; as that punch approached, there was no one who could block it for her!

In the midst of the crisis, her entire body emitted even more milky-white aura. The moment Wang Lin's fist arrived, this milky-white aura crazily rushed into the center of her eyebrows. Shockingly, at the center of her eyebrows, where it had originally been smooth and unremarkable, a mark appeared!

It was a river-shaped mark, emitting red, yellow, and blue lights. The moment the mark appeared, a seemingly forgotten memory surfaced in the woman in white's mind.

In that memory, she was kneeling on the ground, having been chosen as the Saintess of the River Clan. On the day she received the Legacy, a hand as white as jade appeared in the void before her. This hand carried warmth, and with a swipe across her forehead, it erased her clan mark.

"From now on, you will be one of my Clones. With your body, you shall nourish my Clone projection and help me heal… You shall also become my incense power disciple…"

This memory flashed through her mind, but there was no time for her to think too much. The moment the mark appeared on her forehead, the milky-white aura surrounding her body suddenly transformed into a Vortex. This Vortex roared into existence, directly clashing with Wang Lin's approaching fist!

A roar echoed, and the starry sky shook. The woman in white spat out blood, her face devoid of color, and her body was thrown back. But the moment she was thrown, she was swept up by the milky-white aura, which carried her body to break through all barriers and merge into the world.

Wang Lin's right hand shook and went numb, and a strange light appeared in his eyes. As the woman in white dissipated, he took a step forward, and he too vanished into the starry sky!

With his departure, the light in the starry sky faded, leaving only countless corpses and the Demon Scorpion Clan Cultivators who had arrived with shocked expressions!

To the east of the Primordial Stars, amidst the twisting starry sky, the milky-white aura materialized. Inside, the woman in white was already at her limit. Upon appearing, she did not hesitate and took her final step!

"One last teleportation. If I go there, I will be saved!"

But just as the woman in white stepped out with her right foot, the world roared, and a faint roar seemed to come from it. The starry sky shook, and bloody light came crazily from all directions, transforming into countless sharp swords that tore through the starry sky and rushed madly toward the woman in white.

The woman in white didn't even glance at them; she only looked at Wang Lin, who was pursuing from the distant starry sky. Her gaze revealed resentment and mockery. The moment the ten thousand swords pierced through, her body gradually became transparent, allowing the bloody light to pass through her body without causing her the slightest harm.

"This time, I will spare you, but next time, you will surely die. Keep the divinity on your body well… It won't be long before we meet again!" As her body was about to completely turn transparent and dissipate, the woman in white spoke in a cold voice.

But the answer to her was Wang Lin's raised right index finger and an even colder voice!

"Body Fixing Art!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the movement of the world suddenly paused. Even the woman in white, who was about to become completely transparent, stopped instantly. Her eyes still retained their previous coldness and mockery!

Everything in the world came to a standstill! In that moment of pause, Wang Lin arrived in a single step without hesitation. He raised his right hand and grabbed fiercely toward the woman in white. The five Origins in his eyes spun rapidly, separating a strand of Origin power to condense on his right hand.

With this grab, he broke through everything. Amidst the constant twisting ripples, he grabbed onto the woman in white's transparent body and pulled hard, dragging her straight out of the void!

"I said it before, you cannot escape!" Grabbing the woman in white, the Body Fixing Art dissipated. The woman's body quickly turned from transparent to solid, her eyes revealing disbelief and terror!

Wang Lin's body had now returned to its normal size. With his right hand clutching the woman in white, he raised his left hand and pressed it against the top of her head, intending to perform a soul search. But immediately, a thick, milky-white aura surged out from within the woman in white's body—not to attack Wang Lin, but to destroy the woman in white herself!

There was no time to search her soul, and Wang Lin was unwilling to give up her soul. The moment the milky-white aura inside her body was about to destroy her, a red light flashed on Wang Lin's right hand, and the Blood Sword pierced directly into the woman in white's head, shattering her Primordial Spirit before the milky-white aura could!

This act was like snatching a soul from Reincarnation, like snatching incense power from the ancient Consort Lan!

The moment the woman in white's body trembled and she died completely, a woman's soul appeared within Wang Lin's Summon Wind and Rain Realm. A massive amount of incense power suddenly radiated from this woman's soul and was absorbed by Wang Lin!

After the woman in white died, her Physical Body immediately melted into blood. But at this moment, a golden thread flashed out from her corpse and headed straight into the void!

This golden thread was the projection Clone that Consort Lan, one of the eight ancient consorts, had parasitized within the woman in white to nourish it! Now that the woman in white was dead, this golden thread was about to break through the void and return to the healing Consort Lan!

Wang Lin suddenly looked up, the Blood Sword in his hand flashing as he slashed directly at the golden thread. But, extremely strangely, the indestructible Blood Sword passed right through the golden thread without harming it in the slightest!

It was as if the golden thread did not belong to this realm; it had no substance, and no Divine Ability or Magic Treasure could harm it! Seeing the golden thread flying further and further away, about to disappear.

Just then, Wang Lin's mind was shaken. His Storage Space Rift opened uncontrollably on its own, and a woman walked out from within.

This woman was dressed in silver; it was the Silver-Robed Woman!

She eerily walked out from the Storage Rift, looking at the golden thread that was gradually moving away, her expression revealing deep confusion. Seeing the golden thread break through the void and disappear without a trace, the Silver-Robed Woman gently raised her right hand and grabbed casually at the void.

The starry sky roared. The golden thread that had disappeared into the void, as if time were flowing backward, revealed its shadow again from where it had vanished. Despite its constant struggling, which was of no use, it quickly approached the Silver-Robed Woman and was caught in her hand.

The moment the golden thread landed in the Silver-Robed Woman's hand, it immediately trembled violently, as if extremely afraid, not daring to struggle at all. The Silver-Robed Woman silently watched the golden thread in her hand. After a long while, her eyes still filled with confusion, she gave it a gentle squeeze.

Under this squeeze, the golden thread immediately collapsed with a roar, turning into a cloud of golden mist that drilled into the Silver-Robed Woman's seven orifices, as if it had been devoured by her.

Wang Lin narrowed his eyes, watching this scene. He had long suspected the Silver-Robed Woman's identity, but there were too few clues to know who she was.

However, ever since Daoist Shui's expression changed greatly and he showed fear after seeing this Silver-Robed Woman in the Storage Rift back then, Wang Lin knew that this silver corpse's identity was by no means ordinary!

"How could such a person become a refined corpse of the Cultivation Alliance… And how did the Cultivation Alliance obtain her…" Wang Lin examined the familiar silver corpse. Her eyes still revealed confusion, and she looked into the distance, wondering what she was thinking about.

"Have you remembered who you are?" After a long while, Wang Lin asked calmly.

The Silver-Robed Woman was silent. She turned back to look at Wang Lin, the confusion in her eyes deepening, and she shook her head gently.

"I just felt that the aura in that golden thread just now was very familiar…"

Wang Lin's gaze flashed imperceptibly. He carefully examined the Silver-Robed Woman and suddenly said, "You wouldn't happen to be one of the eight ancient consorts, would you!"

As he spoke, his gaze was like lightning, staring into the Silver-Robed Woman's eyes.

Upon hearing the words "eight ancient consorts," the confusion in the woman's eyes grew even more intense. She said softly, "I have no memory… Ever since I woke up, I haven't been able to remember…"

Her expression revealed pain. She shook her head, turned around, and walked toward the Storage Rift. It seemed that only there could she stop thinking about matters related to herself and instead meditate in silence.

But the moment she entered the Storage Rift, the Silver-Robed Woman's body paused. A trace of clarity faintly appeared in her confused eyes. She hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Wang Lin.

"Although I cannot remember many things, I seem to vaguely know something. I can see that you have some disciple incense power within you… I vaguely remember that incense power is a poison… It is a huge… scam… It seems that this is why I lost everything…"

The Storage Rift shrank as the Silver-Robed Woman entered and disappeared into the starry sky.

But her words caused a huge uproar in Wang Lin's mind, making his eyes flash with a dazzling light. From the Sealed Realm Lord, from the battle with Daoist Shui, and from Daoist Blue Dream's words, everything revealed that disciple incense power was the key to becoming a Third Step Cultivator and the key to nourishing the Origin!

Gradually, he himself had come to hold this belief, but now, the Silver-Robed Woman's words were the exact opposite!

For no reason, Wang Lin felt a chill run through his body. He looked up at the starry sky, his eyes revealing deep thought.

"Poison… Scam…"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Lin's body flickered and merged into the world, leaving.

"The woman in white is dead and has become a soul within my Summon Wind and Rain Realm. Right now, on these Primordial Stars, no one should notice me for a short time… This gives me the opportunity to bring my Origin to Major Achievement!" Wang Lin merged into the world, his Divine Thought spreading out.

"According to the memories of the Outer Realm Cultivator I devoured, there are no Third Step Cultivators within the Flashing Thunder Clan… Within their clan, there is a bolt of lightning that seems to have existed since the creation of the world. That lightning has remained unextinguished for ten thousand aeons, always piercing through heaven and earth; it is the sacred object of the Flashing Thunder Clan! It is also the source of power for the entire Flashing Thunder Clan!"

"If I devour this lightning, it should allow my Lightning Origin to evolve… As for disciple incense power… who among them is telling the truth…" Using Shrinking the Ground into an Inch, Wang Lin appeared in a strange Star Domain. His eyes flashed, revealing a cold light.

"Regardless of whether it is true or false, I must be extremely vigilant about this. In my life of cultivating the Dao, I have never relied on any disciple incense power; I have relied entirely on my own realization of the changes in the Dao. Even my Origin was realized on my own, never relying on so-called incense power!" Wang Lin's body merged into the world once again, rushing toward the location of the Flashing Thunder Clan in his memories.

Finally finished. Four updates, twelve thousand words. I sat for over ten hours, drank three energy drinks, smoked two packs of cigarettes. I feel completely dazed, my head feels like it's going to explode. The feeling right now is similar to being very drunk—my head is spinning, my hands are sore, it's very uncomfortable. Especially since there's so much smoke accumulated in my small study, swirling around, it feels like I'm ascending to immortality…

I finally know now, Immortal Ascension is really damn uncomfortable!
