Chapter 1406: Peak of the Cloud Sea, The Answer!

Wang Lin's expression was extremely solemn. After staring blankly for a long while, his eyes still held a lingering shock. The scene he had just witnessed made him unable to believe it, and he dared not believe it!

Even in his heart, he could no longer distinguish whether all of this was real or fake!

"The Heavenly Dao is dead… The Heavenly Dao is dead…" In his two thousand years of life, Wang Lin had heard these words more than once. He had also sought many times to find out what the Heavenly Dao was!

There was no answer!

Everything was a tangled mess, making it impossible to extract any real clues. The only thing known, perhaps, was that the Heavenly Dao was truly dead… Wang Lin's face was slightly pale, and his complex gaze penetrated the Heavenly Emperor Furnace, landing on the Dao Spirit behind the illusory great door.

This Dao Spirit was rapidly recovering. As if sensing Wang Lin's gaze, it looked up and let out roars, its eyes flashing with fierce light, revealing madness.

Wang Lin was silent. Before his eyes, scenes he had just witnessed under the Flowing Moon seemed to re-emerge… This Dao Spirit had existed for an extremely long time, and the Flowing Moon Divine Ability clearly couldn't encompass its entire history. Wang Lin naturally understood this point; he had originally only intended to slightly push it to find clues about this Dao Spirit.

But the moment his Flowing Moon Divine Ability enveloped the Dao Spirit, a strange change occurred!

Perhaps it was due to this place being an Ancient Tomb, or perhaps because the Dao Spirit's life was extremely simple, consisting of only two parts, this change caused the reversed years on the Dao Spirit to surge forth, instantly exceeding Wang Lin's limit.

The appearance of this change shocked Wang Lin, but he remained extremely calm, not stopping it, allowing the Flowing Moon Divine Ability to wildly reverse on the Dao Spirit.

Gradually, after reversing an unknown amount of time, Wang Lin saw the first scene! The Dao Spirit's entire body was bathed in dazzling, brilliant light, so glaring that it was difficult to see what existed within the light.

Moreover, under the pervasive light, the Dao Spirit's body vaguely disappeared. Although the ten thousand feet of light obscured everything, with Wang Lin's cultivation, he still clearly saw what was within the light when his eyes narrowed!

This sight was the reason for Wang Lin's first change in expression!

He clearly saw a golden Medicinal Pill, about the size of a human head, rapidly spinning within the light. The light was precisely emanating from this Medicinal Pill!

How could this be a Dao Spirit? This was clearly a Medicinal Pill!

The so-called Dao Spirit was precisely the spirit formed from a Medicinal Pill!

If it were only this, it would merely cause Wang Lin's expression to change. It wouldn't make him lose his composure and suddenly stand up. The real reason he stood up was the second scene he witnessed next!

Time reversed again, like a rushing river that never returns. In an instant, the Medicinal Pill violently transformed into a distortion. A moment later, everything distorted collapsed, revealing a starry sky that existed at an unknown time!

This starry sky was neither the Outer Realm nor the Inner Realm. It seemed to exist within time, exuding an ancient滄桑 (Cāngsāng – vicissitudes of life), as if even the Inner Realm and Outer Realm were like a youth compared to an elder.

Within this unfamiliar starry sky, there were countless Cultivation Planets. At a glance, one could not see the end. Merely within his sight, there were nine burning planets, their flames soaring to the sky, erupting with dazzling light that illuminated all directions, like suns!

Or perhaps, they were the suns!

In the vast expanse of time, one day, a blurry figure dressed in a seven-colored Daoist robe appeared in this starry sky. He raised his right hand, and on his right index finger, he wore an emerald green ring.

With a wave of his right hand, one of the nine suns immediately let out a roar that shook the starry sky, changing its trajectory and heading straight for the person in the seven-colored Daoist robe.

The infinite distance seemed to be breached in an instant. Heat waves rolled, causing the entire starry sky to tremble. The person in the seven-colored Daoist robe's expression was unclear, but he waved his right hand again, and with a rumble, the other eight burning suns trembled simultaneously, all changing their trajectories and approaching.

In front of the person in the seven-colored Daoist robe, the nine suns collided, unleashing an indescribably immense roar, as if the starry sky itself was about to collapse.

After an unknown period, the nine suns, through their collision, began to merge. They continuously collapsed, growing smaller and smaller, finally becoming one!

The person in the seven-colored Daoist robe exhaled a mouthful of seven-colored Qi, which enveloped the front and then rapidly contracted. With thumping sounds, a golden Medicinal Pill, the size of a human head, suddenly appeared!

Intense flames still burned on it, and its light seemed to extend to the ends of the starry sky!

This golden Medicinal Pill was precisely what Wang Lin had seen in the first scene, the object that the Dao Spirit had transformed from!

It was precisely after seeing this scene that Wang Lin lost his composure and suddenly stood up, revealing a look of shock. What shocked him, besides the fact that this Medicinal Pill was refined from nine suns, was the identity of the person in the seven-colored Daoist robe!

Although this person's appearance was unclear, Wang Lin vaguely recognized him: he was the person from the statue Wang Lin had obtained from Greedy Wolf! However, the statue's right index finger did not have a ring!

That statue was originally obtained by Greedy Wolf from this Ancient Tomb. Here, Wang Lin saw it again through the Dao Spirit. Although he was shocked and lost his composure, it would not cause him to unconsciously retreat several steps!

His expression changed due to sudden surprise, he stood up due to mental shock, but retreating several steps was entirely different. Unconsciously retreating could only have one explanation: it stemmed from unimaginable fear and an earth-shattering event that was impossible to conceive!

What truly filled his mind with fear and disbelief was a sentence spoken by the person in the seven-colored Daoist robe after he raised his right hand and took the Medicinal Pill!!

"Feeding the Heavenly Dao with a Dao Pill is indeed not an easy task… I still need to find another method… to make this Heavenly Dao, which I snatched, grow quickly…"

Just this one sentence!

Wang Lin's mind boomed, and the Flowing Moon technique could no longer operate, collapsing abruptly. Furthermore, in that disbelief and fear, he retreated several steps!

It seemed that if he didn't retreat, he would be torn apart by all the information brought by this sentence. Even a Ancient God Physical Body seemed to be on the verge of collapse, unable to withstand the shocking implications of this single sentence!

Feeding the Heavenly Dao!

Feeding the Heavenly Dao!!

Feeding the Heavenly Dao!!!

These four words echoed wildly in Wang Lin's ears, replacing all other sounds in heaven and earth. Wang Lin's face was pale. After a long while, he suppressed the shock in his heart and let out a deep breath.

"What is the Heavenly Dao… This Dao Spirit is actually something used to feed the Heavenly Dao… And who is this person in the seven-colored Daoist robe… The ancient Immortal Emperor…?" Wang Lin's eyes revealed confusion.

The more he knew, the denser the mystery seemed to become, a tangled mess that Wang Lin vaguely sensed but could never fully comprehend. He stood there, his eyes growing more and more bewildered.

"The blood of the Heavenly Dao… Heavenly Fate Child's calculations back then were all for obtaining the blood of the Heavenly Dao from the Rain Immortal Realm… Azure Dragon Saint Emperor once said he swallowed the blood of the Heavenly Dao…"

"The Heavenly Dao has blood, and the Heavenly Dao needs to be fed with this Dao Spirit Medicinal Pill… What is the Heavenly Dao!!!" Wang Lin looked up at the sky, falling silent there.

"Perhaps the Heavenly Dao is a Magic Treasure, a Medicinal Pill, or perhaps, a Vicious Beast…" Wang Lin's expression was complex. He recalled the Nether Beast he saw in Luotian… This beast was incredibly vast, containing its own universe within its body, encompassing an entire realm!

Wang Lin stood there, his expression slowly turning grim, his mind gradually recovering. The shock and speculation were deeply buried in his heart. At this moment, within the Heavenly Emperor Furnace, the fourth-grade Dao Spirit had already recovered most of its power. Its body became more vibrant, and its low roars echoed like wind and thunder.

But now, this Dao Spirit no longer held much mystery in Wang Lin's eyes!

"A mere spirit formed from a Medicinal Pill, even if you were once refined from nine suns, these countless years of Seal have already consumed most of your power!

Since you were fortunately not taken to feed the Heavenly Dao, then come and fulfill this Wang's purpose!"

Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he licked his lips. He had now returned to normal. Gazing at the Medicinal Pill, he formed Hand Seals with both hands and waved them forward. With a rumble, the Heavenly Emperor Furnace vibrated violently. Flames surged within it, and a soul storm swept through, interrupting the Dao Spirit's healing and beginning the refinement!

Wang Lin even took a step forward, merging his entire being into the Heavenly Emperor Furnace, personally taking action!

Roars and rumbling continuously echoed in this sealed land. Time slowly passed, and in a blink, three more days went by!

On this day, the Heavenly Emperor Furnace suddenly spewed out a towering white Qi, and a medicinal fragrance permeated the surroundings, merging into the uncollapsed blood-colored rivers on the ground.

Within the white Qi, Wang Lin's figure flickered out. In mid-air, he flicked his large sleeve, and the Heavenly Emperor Furnace dissipated, transforming into a faint light that entered the star point between his eyebrows, disappearing.

In front of Wang Lin, with a flip of his hand, a great Medicinal Pill the size of a head appeared. From afar, this Medicinal Pill glowed with ten thousand feet of golden light, floating before Wang Lin like a burning sun!

Staring at the Medicinal Pill, Wang Lin could feel the immense power within it. He even had a feeling that if he forcibly swallowed this pill, even his Ancient God Physical Body would immediately explode!

Holding the Medicinal Pill before him, Wang Lin did not swallow it. Instead, he took a fierce breath towards it, and immediately, a wisp of flame, like smoke, floated out from the Medicinal Pill, heading straight for Wang Lin's nostrils, where he inhaled it into his body.

Wang Lin's body suddenly emitted thumping sounds. The flames in his left eye surged, and the flame power within him circulated wildly. With one breath, he actually gained an additional trace of Flame Origin!

Even in the lightning diagram of his right eye, flames burned, emitting crackling sounds, as if to melt away some Impurities within the lightning diagram, making it truly complete and reach Perfection!

"After the Illusory Fire, comes the Major Achievement Dao Fire of the Flame Origin. Once the Dao Fire ignites, my Thunder-Fire Origin will be completely at Major Achievement! However, this Dao Pill is not yet agile enough; it seems to require something to refine it… But it's better that it's not agile, this way I can absorb it slowly!"

Wang Lin took a few more breaths, and the flame power within him roared. An extremely comfortable sensation permeated his entire body, invigorating him! He looked down at the blood rivers on the ground.

"The fact that so many humanoid Vicious Beasts can be born here must be related to these blood rivers. These rivers did not collapse in the previous destruction, so they must be extraordinary!"

Without hesitation, Wang Lin waved his right hand, and a Storage Rift suddenly appeared. Roars emanated from within the Rift, and suddenly, countless Mosquito Beasts surged out!
