Chapter 1355: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Moon Hidden in the Lake Heart (Second Update)

Retreating, Wang Lin's gaze was like a torch, fixed on the gradually dissipating giant turtle. Only after the giant turtle completely vanished did a look of ecstasy appear in his eyes.

"I never expected that within this Great Emperor Star, there would actually be an Ancient Soul Restriction!!" Wang Lin took a deep breath, taking a long time to suppress the excitement in his heart. He couldn't help but be excited.

If he could learn all four great Restrictions, through Fusion and relying on a monumental Opportunity, he might be able to comprehend the Restriction Origin. If he truly succeeded, Wang Lin's Origin would no longer be five Daos, but… six Daos!!

Six Daos of Origin!

If news of this spread, it would be enough to shock all Cultivators. Even those high and mighty Third Step mighty figures would be horrified. The more one understood Origin, the more one would realize what Six Daos of Origin represented!

Five Daos of Origin was already extremely astonishing. If he were to gain one more now, it would be earth-shattering! However, similarly, the difficulty of achieving Major Achievement in all Six Daos of Origin would multiply countless times.

Wang Lin’s breathing quickened, and he subconsciously licked his lips.

"I have already obtained the Destruction Restriction, the Life-Death Restriction, and the Years Restriction. Although I haven't had much time to deduce them, if I can learn this Ancient Soul Restriction, my Four Great Restrictions will be completely whole… and then…"

Wang Lin's heart pounded. This kind of fortune was truly too unexpected, suddenly descending upon him when Wang Lin had no psychological preparation whatsoever.

His eyes flashed, and after a long while, he finally completely suppressed the excitement.

"Just what kind of person is this Great Emperor, to actually use the Ancient Soul Restriction to set up a competition arena Restriction…" Wang Lin felt a deeper dread toward the mysterious Great Emperor.

"He let me come in by myself ahead of time… Could it be that everything was within his expectations? Could he have calculated that I would definitely be attracted by this Restriction…" Wang Lin fell silent. The more he analyzed, the more his excitement faded.

"This Great Emperor Star is strange everywhere… no fierce wind layer, peculiar vegetation, and the Ancient Soul Restriction…" Wang Lin's body swayed, and he landed on the sparsely vegetated ground in the Northwest Region.

The ground was covered in gray soil. After landing, Wang Lin immediately lowered his body, grabbed a handful of dirt with his right hand, examined it carefully for a long time, and his expression gradually grew more solemn.

Just then, long rainbows whistled across the distant sky. It was the Great Emperor's Envoys, bringing some Cultivators who arrived after Wang Lin.

Wang Lin glanced up, turned, and took a step. His figure vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already on a giant leaf in the Eastern Part of the Great Emperor Star, amidst the boundless vegetation.

There, Wang Lin sat cross-legged, looking at the gray soil in his hand, his brow furrowed.

"This soil looks ordinary, but I always feel that something is wrong…" Wang Lin pondered, closing his eyes. Memories gradually surfaced in his mind of a time when the Heaven Defying opened, and he stepped halfway inside, transforming into Chaos, drifting in a void, and eventually becoming a Cultivation Planet.

This memory left a profound impression on Wang Lin, and it was precisely that experience that gave him a vague understanding of many things.

He clearly remembered that after his Incarnation became a Cultivation Planet, countless years passed. Volcanoes on the Cultivation Planet erupted, spewing out Core Material from the core, covering the entire Cultivation Planet. Subsequently, these materials weathered over time, becoming individual particles, eventually forming soil.

Furthermore, within this soil, some extremely primitive vegetation was born. Through repeated cycles of death and birth, the soil gradually gained vitality, integrating with the vitality of the entire Cultivation Planet.

"The Cultivation Planets in this Starry Sky originally had no soil when they were first born… Soil was gradually generated in subsequent waves… In other words, if soil has Lifespan, it should be uneven and less than the Cultivation Planet's own Lifespan."

Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a strange glow. He stared at the soil in his hand. After a long while, Wang Lin spoke softly: "Flowing Moon…"

A sense of time immediately spread out from him, enveloping the soil in his hand. Time flowed, seemingly trying to trace the soil back to its date of birth.

However, the birth date of this soil was too long ago. With Wang Lin's cultivation, he couldn't completely trace it, but he could generally sense some clues.

After a long time, Wang Lin waved his right hand, scattering the soil around. Immediately afterward, his body moved, and he appeared beneath the vegetation where he was, grabbed a handful of soil from under the plants, and once again performed the Flowing Moon Art.

After a moment, Wang Lin released the soil in his hand, letting it fall, and a look of realization appeared in his eyes.

"If this soil had formed naturally, its birth times should have been uneven, with a sequence of events… But the soil here was born simultaneously, and its Lifespan is identical!! There are only two explanations for this!

The first is that the volcanoes on this Cultivation Planet erupted simultaneously shortly after the planet's birth long ago, completely destroying everything and forming the soil… But this point doesn't quite hold up, as the primitive vegetation that gave the soil vitality couldn't have appeared and died simultaneously… If this conjecture is not established, then there is only one last explanation… Everything here was artificially created, opened up long ago by someone using a Great Divine Ability Art!" Wang Lin gasped. He himself was currently a Cultivator of Great Divine Abilities, and he could imagine that the powerful cultivation required to single-handedly create a Cultivation Planet from the Starry Sky was already unimaginable!

In silence, Wang Lin shook his head. He himself could hardly believe his own conjecture. He didn't know that if his conjecture were actually known, it would cause tremendous shock.

This is because few Cultivators could analyze so much information merely from a clue like soil. Even if they had the ability, they would be unable to analyze it if they did not know the entire process of a Cultivation Planet from its birth to its destruction.

To this day, Wang Lin is the first person to analyze the Origin of this Cultivation Planet from its soil!

If the mysterious Great Emperor knew about this, he would certainly be greatly surprised. In fact, in his view, this matter would be even more shocking than Wang Lin's astonishment at the Star Creation!

Besides the gap in cultivation between Cultivators, there is also the understanding of the Dao. The Dao is essentially a principle. The terrifying degree of a person who understands various principles and knows all Karma, combined with corresponding cultivation, is unbelievable!

Scattering the soil, Wang Lin remained silent for a moment. He lay down on the giant leaf, gazing at the hazy sky, deep in thought. He was a person who liked to think, and it was precisely this thoughtfulness that allowed him to survive various crises throughout his life until now.

Regarding Yunluo Dasi and Simozi of the Long Venerate Society, although Wang Lin spoke Zhang Kuangly, he was extremely cautious internally. He didn't know what the Great Emperor's intentions were, but this didn't prevent him from leveraging the Great Emperor's influence to make it part of his own strength.

This approach is very useful in the cruel Cultivation World. Only those who know how to borrow influence can find the results and goals they desire in this complicated Foreign Land.

In the distant sky, long rainbows continuously flashed past. Gradually, more people entered the Great Emperor Star. Wang Lin watched the departing long rainbows, and as he lay down, his right hand slowly stroked the giant leaf beneath him.

Just then, his expression suddenly shifted. He looked at his right hand. In that instant, he faintly felt a very weak trace of Yuan Qi within his body, uncontrollably drilling out of his right hand as he stroked the leaf, and being absorbed into the leaf.

But upon careful inspection, he found nothing, as if the previous scene had been an illusion.

Sitting up, Wang Lin's eyes flashed. Although he hadn't found anything, a sense of dread permeated his mind. While pondering, his body flickered, he flew up into the air, and looked down.

The boundless vegetation slowly swayed across the land… "This Great Emperor Star is strange everywhere…" Wang Lin was unwilling to step onto those large leaves again. He transformed into a long rainbow and flew across the Great Emperor Star, spreading his Divine Sense cautiously to observe closely.

The sky gradually darkened, with only the occasional long rainbow flashing across the distant horizon. Wang Lin's speed was not fast. At dusk, he saw a lake surrounded by countless vegetation, and an old man dressed in white!

The old man sat by the lake, holding a fishing rod, angling. A wine pot was placed beside him.

Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed. This was the first person he had encountered here, aside from the Great Emperor's Envoys and the streaks of long rainbows. After a brief contemplation, Wang Lin did not leave. Instead, his body slowly descended, arriving behind the old man.

The old man did not pay him any mind, remaining seated and gazing at the lake surface.

Wang Lin sat cross-legged beside him, also remaining silent. The surroundings were peaceful, with only faint sounds of air breaking coming from the distant northwest, yet these sounds blended seamlessly with the tranquility of the place, not feeling noisy at all.

The lake water was very clear. Although one couldn't see the bottom at a glance, one could generally see that there were no fish beneath the water.

The old man and the young man sat there, separated by the wine pot. Time slowly passed, and the sky gradually darkened completely. A bright moon slowly appeared in the sky.

A gentle breeze swept over, stirring the vegetation around the lake, making rustling sounds, but failing to break the peace here.

Slight ripples spread across the lake surface as the breeze gently caressed it, seemingly plucking the bright moon from the sky and deeply hiding it within the lake. Gazing at the lake surface, one could faintly not distinguish where the moon was… The bright moon was either hanging on the Sky's Curtain or buried in the Heart of the Lake. Under the surrounding tranquility, it displayed an extremely beautiful scene. In this environment, Wang Lin's heart, weary since arriving at the Primordial Stars, also seemed to relax.

"Do you drink?" After an unknown amount of time, the old man's hoarse voice slowly drifted over.

Chapter two is finished. I will continue to bury my head and write chapter three. Your monthly votes are the moon in the sky, and Er Gen really wants to grab them and hide them in the lake…
