Chapter 1303: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Venerable San Ling

Chapter 1303: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Venerable San Ling (First Update)

The bald young man had a smile on his face, but his eyes hid a look of extreme gravity. Looking at Wang Lin, there was a faint hint of horror. He had followed all the way, witnessing with his own eyes the scenes of the other party slaughtering Immortals. He had even seen this person before him use the Soul Transformation Cultivator below as bait, killing over a hundred in just this short half-hour!

What shocked his mind even more was that even those incredibly powerful shattered nirvana Cultivators were no match for this person!

"What exactly is his cultivation!"

All this shock stirred up huge waves in the bald young man's mind. However, compared to these shocks, being exposed by Wang Lin's single sentence was even more shocking. Thinking about the meaning behind the other party's words, he realized that Wang Lin had long known he was following him. This kind of shock had already exceeded the bald young man's expectations!

Although his cultivation was not at the absolute Peak, his Divine Ability for concealment was unparalleled and had a long Legacy. For countless years, he had been wandering among the Seven Million Worlds in secret, just like the Flashing Thunder Clan, without a single Immortal discovering him. Even those whose cultivation far exceeded his had not noticed him in the slightest.

Even back then, there was a Cultivator whose cultivation had reached the Fourth Heavenly Decay, yet the bald young man could still handle it with ease. He followed behind that Cultivator for several months, and the Cultivator did not discover him at all.

Right now, his mouth was dry. In particular, the lightning emitting red light before him gave him a sense of the greatest crisis of his life. Every time the red light of that lightning flickered, it made his heart jump. He faintly knew that he could not dodge; if this lightning charged, he would undoubtedly die!

And Wang Lin's cold, calm words were like an invisible sharp sword, piercing through his mind and bringing endless chill!

The surroundings were silent, with only the rumbling of thunder coming from the Tribulation Cloud. Sweat oozed from the bald young man's face. Wang Lin's gaze remained fixed on the bald young man, and after a few breaths of silence, he frowned!

Seeing Wang Lin frown, the bald young man's mind roared. He immediately clasped his fists without hesitation and hurriedly said, "Immortal, please calm your anger. I, San Ling of the Lower Realm, had no intention of offending you. Please…"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Lin waved his right hand. The red lightning instantly erupted with ten thousand rays of light, turning into a long rainbow that headed straight for the bald young man. Its speed was unparalleled!

The bald young man only felt the red light before his eyes surge to the heavens. In an instant, with a boom, the red lightning pierced through his glabella!

The bald young man's body trembled, and he spat out blood, but he didn't die! A vast force suddenly poured out from his pierced glabella, turning into a wave of Qi that surrounded his body. Under this surrounding Qi, the person's entire cultivation instantly dispersed, and an aura of vicissitudes shook the heavens and earth!

It was as if a soul that could shock the heavens and earth was sleeping within this person's body. This soul was so strong that even the extreme realm could not kill it in one blow!

"As I expected!" Wang Lin's eyes revealed a strange light. He took a step forward and raised his right hand to grab at the bald young man!

The bald young man surrounded by the Qi wave had eyes that instantly became clear, revealing an endless sense of vicissitudes. At the moment Wang Lin arrived, he spoke softly.

"Fellow Daoist, do you desire the Thunder of Spiritual Thought… Please listen to me!"

Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and his body stopped in mid-air. He looked coldly at the bald young man who seemed to have changed into a different person. Just a moment ago, this person seemed slightly immature in his eyes, but now, the other party's expression was that of someone who had lived for countless millennia of vicissitudes.

"This old man is named San Ling. I have lived for tens of thousands of years, and my cultivation has reached the Fourth Heavenly Decay…" the bald young man said calmly.

"Like the body before you, Fellow Daoist, this old man has nine hundred and seventy-one. Each one contains my Divided Soul. Therefore, these Clones can enter the starry sky here just like the Flashing Thunder Clan Cultivators, and will not be discovered by anyone.

I followed you in secret, Fellow Daoist, not out of malice, but to seek your help and make a deal! If you are interested, Fellow Daoist, this matter will be beneficial to both of us!" The bald young man looked at Wang Lin and said softly.

"You know about the Flashing Thunder Clan?" Wang Lin said slowly, his expression unchanged.

The bald young man's expression revealed complexity, and he nodded.

"Can you accompany me to a place, Fellow Daoist? I will tell you everything on the way."

"What place." Wang Lin's expression showed neither joy nor anger, and he spoke calmly.

"The end of the world…" The bald young man sighed deeply. He raised his right hand and waved it towards the sky. Immediately, the Tribulation Cloud in the sky dissipated in an instant. At the same time, a mark flashed from his hand and headed straight for the Undergoing Tribulation man below, who was staring blankly at everything. It landed on his glabella, causing this person's cultivation to be immediately hidden, so it would no longer trigger a Heavenly Tribulation.

After finishing all this, the Qi wave outside the bald young man's body retracted and merged entirely into his body. He clasped his fists at Wang Lin, turned around, and took a step into the void. He actually broke through the void directly and left this world.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he also took a step and left, stepping through the void together with the bald young man.

"This old man achieved Soul Transformation in a hundred years. After perceiving the heavens and earth and observing several Heavenly Tribulations, I gradually discovered that these so-called Immortals did not seem to be as the ancestors had described… Because I had doubts, I suppressed my own cultivation, not allowing it to reach the Peak of Soul Transformation, and secretly searched for the answers to everything…" The bald young man walked in front. With every step he took, he broke through a world, traveling within these Seven Million Worlds, heading towards the distance.

Wang Lin was by his side, his expression calm, also traveling through these Seven Million Worlds as he walked.

Cities of Mortals, stretches of starry skies, and even spring rain and autumn winds, summer sun and winter snow, flashed continuously within these various worlds.

"Unfortunately, although my Aptitude was good, I could not suppress my cultivation for long. When I was over two hundred years old, I could no longer suppress it, and I triggered the Heavenly Tribulation… The Immortal who descended for that Heavenly Tribulation was the current Grand Elder of the Flashing Thunder Clan…

His cultivation at that time was only Nirvana Scrutiny. Under his Heavenly Tribulation, I was severely injured and on the verge of death; I simply could not resist… But he did not kill me. Instead, he crippled all my cultivation and then left…

I thought at the time that the Heavenly Dao had a virtue of cherishing life, but it was only many years later that I realized he spared my life to give me the opportunity to continue Cultivating. Thus, there was the possibility of giving birth to Thought Thunder." The bald young man's voice was bitter as he spoke softly while walking.

"But he did not expect that not only did I regain my cultivation, but during that Heavenly Tribulation, I also realized the changes in the heavens and earth. Using the existence of these Seven Million Worlds to suppress my cultivation, I even devised a Divine Ability that allows my cultivation to become stronger without triggering a Heavenly Tribulation!" The bald young man said calmly, his eyes revealing memories.

"Dispersing the spirit into various Clones." Wang Lin glanced at the other party and said calmly.

The bald young man nodded.

"Using the art of Dispersing the Spirit, I infused cultivation exceeding Soul Transformation into the bodies of others. With this method, after a thousand years, I cultivated to Soul Transformation… And my Clones numbered nine hundred and seventy-one!

Nine hundred and seventy-one was my limit for Dispersing the Spirit; I could not exceed it. So I thought of another way: taking each Clone as the main body, I cast the art of Dispersing the Spirit again… Each of the nine hundred and seventy-one Clones fully dispersed their spirit, and each possessed nine hundred and seventy-one sub-Clones!

Under this constant cycle, my cultivation slowly increased until it reached Nirvana Cleansing…" The bald young man sighed when he reached this point.

He and Wang Lin were both Cultivators with great Divine Abilities. As they walked, breaking through the worlds and constantly traveling, they gradually went further and further away.

"After reaching Nirvana Cleansing, I began to pursue the doubts of that year. I wanted to know if this sky was truly the sky, if this earth was truly the earth, if this Immortal Realm was truly the Immortal Realm, and if these Immortals were truly Immortals!

I wanted to pursue the legends passed down since ancient times, the descriptions and yearning for the Immortal Realm passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors! However, although my cultivation had reached Nirvana Cleansing and my Clones all had not-weak cultivation, I could never leave these Seven Million Worlds. I could only travel within them and could not enter the starry sky. There was an invisible barrier covering it, and my cultivation at that time could not break it!

Therefore, I thought of a method: I controlled my countless Clones to successively cross the boundary of the Peak of Soul Transformation and trigger Heavenly Tribulations! At that time, a small portion of the Heavenly Tribulations in these Seven Million Worlds were all triggered by my Clones!

Every time a Heavenly Tribulation appeared, I would observe from the side. Gradually, as time passed and with each Heavenly Tribulation, I understood some things, but at the same time, I was also shocked by everything I understood!"

"I could not believe that the world I existed in was actually created by someone else. I could not believe that my entire life, in the eyes of others, was just an ant, existing only to collect Thought Thunder!"

Wang Lin was silent, listening to the bald young man's words, his eyes faintly revealing complexity.

"I was lost, hesitant, and helpless. I told some people about this, but not one believed me… Even I myself did not believe it. I did not want to believe that all of this was true… I would rather I had discovered nothing, and would rather all of this was just my guess…"

"For those few thousand years, I lived in a daze… Until one day, I saw two Immortals fighting. One of them died, and the corpse fell from the sky, landing on the earth… I stood before that corpse for a very long time, until the corpse rotted, until everything dissipated. I looked up at the sky and laughed, laughing until tears streamed down. That corpse, where was it an Immortal? It was just like me… a Mortal Cultivator!"

"From that day on, I was no longer in a daze. I told myself that I would break through this world, that I would rush out, see what was outside the sky, and see how true my ten-thousand-year guess really was!" The bald young man's eyes revealed excitement. This was the first time he had spoken these words in front of someone else!

"I began to Cultivate. Each of my nine hundred and seventy-one sub-Clones outside each Clone also cast the art of Dispersing the Spirit. Under this constant cultivation of Clones, time passed, but the indignation in my heart grew stronger and stronger… Until my cultivation reached shattered nirvana! Until even a small portion of my Clones reached Nirvana Cleansing and Nirvana Scrutiny! I finally broke through the cage of this sky and stepped into the starry sky!"
