Chapter 1322: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Escaping Dust and Refining Thunder (Fourth Update)

Severing the Heavenly Dao Emissary's palm—this Heavenly Dao Emissary, though he never revealed himself, was clearly far more powerful than the one Wang Lin encountered on Vermilion Bird Star back then. Yet, even so, he still had his palm severed and fled under Wang Lin's sword of thunder, fire, and battle!

After retrieving the Indestructible Thunder, which was now weakened but whose Origin remained, Wang Lin suppressed the madness that arose in his heart due to the Heavenly Dao Emissary's reappearance, and the sorrow that permeated his mind as he thought of Li Muwan.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Heavenly Dao Emissary's palm immediately landed before him. After being severed, this palm was no longer flesh and blood, but had transformed into a crystal. It looked like a palm-shaped Crystal Stone, emitting a brilliant glow.

After a brief glance, Wang Lin's eyes suddenly narrowed. On this palm… there were no palm lines!

Everyone's palms have lines; no matter how high one's cultivation, it's impossible to intentionally destroy them.

"Could it be that Heavenly Dao Emissaries all lack palm lines…?" Wang Lin's eyes flickered. He placed the palm, now a Crystal Stone, into his Storage Space. As he turned, he immediately saw the Flashing Thunder Clan members in the distance, who dared not approach.

Withdrawing his gaze, Wang Lin took a step forward, ready to leave the Flashing Thunder Clan. As for the matters here, and the future of the Flashing Thunder Clan, Venerable San Ling would handle them; they no longer concerned Wang Lin!

Just as Wang Lin was about to depart, one of the Cultivators from the distant crowd, after seemingly hesitating and struggling for a long time, gritted his teeth and immediately flashed out. Starry light enveloped his body, and he stepped on a shuttle-like object, heading straight for Wang Lin.

"Ma-master!! Do you still remember me!" The Cultivator's body trembled. Uttering these words was tantamount to betraying the Flashing Thunder Clan. Although the Flashing Thunder Clan was in crisis, he might be killed by his own clansmen first, a huge price! But for the conviction in his heart, he couldn't care less at this moment!

"Damn it, a man's life always requires some choices. Let's see what fate holds for me, Zhong Dahong. Staying here is death anyway, and following master is the same. Betraying the clan, then betraying the clan, I don't care anymore!"

Wang Lin paused, then turned to look coldly.

His gaze fell into the Cultivator's eyes, and the man's mind immediately trembled. Gritting his teeth, he quickly said, "Master, I… I am Zhong Dahong. Zhong as in the bell, Hong as in the flood… I am Zhong Dahong, Master! Once a master, always a master! Master, please don't leave me alone. I wish to serve by your side, follow you for life, and never betray you!"

"You want to come with me?" Wang Lin's expression remained cold as he spoke slowly.

Zhong Dahong quickly flew a bit further, to prevent his clansmen from attacking him from behind. Hearing Wang Lin speak, he immediately nodded frantically, repeatedly saying, "Master, as long as you let this lowly one follow you, I'll do anything you ask! Murder, arson, robbery, abduction—I'm skilled in all of them, no worse than Xu Ligou. Master, please give me a chance, Master…"

Wang Lin's eyes flickered. He glanced at Zhong Dahong, then turned and flicked his sleeve. A gust of wind immediately swept up Zhong Dahong, sending him into the Storage Space to keep Xu Ligou company. Then, he took a step, crossing the starry sky, and with a flash, appeared at the location outside the Flashing Thunder Clan where Venerable San Ling was battling several Flashing Thunder Clan Heaven-Man Five Decay Cultivators.

Divine Abilities roared here, and shockwaves overflowed. After Wang Lin appeared, a red light flashed in his eyes, and the extreme realm transformed into a red lightning bolt that suddenly whistled out. This red lightning was too fast; as soon as it appeared, it immediately swept across, burrowing into the body of a Cultivator in the first Heaven-Man Five Decay, collapsing his Primordial Spirit and piercing through his back. It then entered the glabella of a Cultivator in the second Heaven-Man Five Decay, causing his head to explode before passing through.

"Fellow Daoist San Ling, take care. Wang bids farewell!" Wang Lin took another step forward, the extreme realm retracted, and he vanished into the starry sky, without a trace!

His appearance and instant killing of two people immediately struck terror into the hearts of the Flashing Thunder Clan Cultivators battling San Ling. San Ling let out a long laugh and spoke loudly.

"Brother Wang, walk slowly. I have a premonition that we will meet again!"

"When we meet again, you will be greatly surprised." Wang Lin's words faintly echoed from the void. He had already departed far away, leaving the Flashing Thunder Clan Star Domain.

"Greatly surprised?" San Ling was very puzzled, but he couldn't dwell on it now. He unleashed his Divine Ability, commencing his revenge battle against the remaining members of the Flashing Thunder Clan!

Within the Primordial Stars, Wang Lin moved rapidly through the starry sky. He contained all his aura, which gradually became fainter and fainter. In the end, he was almost unrecognizable, like a Mortal. The five Origins within his body intermingled, stirring together, preventing any trace of his aura from leaking out.

"If a Third Step mighty figure were to search, finding me should be extremely easy. But I have my Origins; by stirring them up and then finding a chaotic, crowded place, I should be able to evade them somewhat. If someone truly searches for me, I should be able to conceal myself for a bit.

Right now, I need to refine the thunder as quickly as possible—that's the priority!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He took a step, using Shrinking the Ground into an Inch. After several repetitions, his body appeared on a Cultivation Planet.

This Cultivation Planet was home to a small clan within the Primordial Stars. It had numerous Mortals, bustling with activity and endless traffic, especially in the capital city, which was vibrant with human voices and teeming with life, numbering no less than ten million people.

When he appeared, his hair was black and tied up with a hair scarf. Dressed in white, holding a fan, he looked like a scholar as he stepped into this unfamiliar world of Mortals.

People came and went on the streets, and men and women were not as reserved as on Vermilion Bird Star. Some were heroic and spirited, others gracefully dressed, creating a lively scene.

The shops lining both sides of the street were also rarely empty, bustling with customers. As Wang Lin walked past, he heard a storyteller's voice coming from a tavern.

"Let's talk about the Immortal Cultivator Yu Huan of the Zhenyan Clan, whose eccentric personality led him to frequently wander among Mortals, giving rise to countless romantic tales. There are even rumors that his Dao Companion, Chu Yuexuan, met him this way… Today, we'll discuss how these two Immortal Cultivators met… It's a very alluring story, so listen closely, everyone!"

Wang Lin chuckled. The Mortal cities of the Primordial Stars were quite interesting; they actually talked extensively about Cultivators. Although most of what was said was fabricated, it showed that the Mortals here were not unfamiliar with Cultivators.

Moreover, the moment he entered the city, Wang Lin didn't even need to extend his Divine Sense to detect many Cultivators within the city. Even in the tavern before him, a man and a woman, both Cultivators, were listening intently to the story. Especially in the imperial city to the east, there were nearly a hundred Cultivators.

"This is even better. This way, the vitality here will be more chaotic. Coupled with my concealment using Origins, I should be safe for a short time, enough for me to refine the thunder. Once the thunder is fully refined into my Primordial Spirit, I wonder how much my cultivation will increase…" Wang Lin's expression was calm. He glanced at the tavern and walked away.

Can't write anymore, I've exhausted myself.
