Chapter 1530: Dominating the Inner Realm, the Secret of the Nineteenth Layer (Fourth Update)

The deep pit of the Rune Clan did not dissipate much during the changes to the Vermilion Bird Star; it remained there and, over these years, had become the most mysterious place within the Vermilion Bird Star.

Cultivators often entered it to explore its secrets.

Especially in the last few decades, as some foreign Cultivators entered the Vermilion Bird Star, many slowly ventured deep into this pit, but in the end, they gained nothing.

No one could enter the deepest layer.

Wang Lin's figure and the madman appeared outside the deep pit in an instant. He glanced at the pit and his body flickered, about to step inside, but the madman refused and began to roar at Wang Lin.

"I'm not going, I'm not going! This King will not go! I will wait for you here, haha. You just go yourself, and come find this King when you come out." The madman's eyes rolled, and he shook his head while retreating.

Wang Lin glanced at the madman. His gaze was like lightning, making the madman blink. The roaring quieted down quite a bit, but he still shook his head vigorously.

Withdrawing his gaze, Wang Lin understood the madman's intentions; it was nothing more than wanting to play around on this Vermilion Bird Star. His Heart-Nature was unstable, and Wang Lin did not want to make things difficult for him. At this moment, he nodded slightly, turned around, and stopped paying attention to the madman. Instead, he took a step forward, entered the deep pit, and vanished.

Seeing that Wang Lin had left, the madman's face revealed an expression of excitement, and he muttered as he ran off into the distance.

"Those three little ladies didn't tell this King their names earlier. Their expressions were very strange before, haha. This time, if I go find them again, they will definitely tell me their names." The madman walked further and further away in triumph, slowly disappearing into the sky.

Wang Lin had been to this place of the Rune Clan several times. Despite the many years that had passed, he was still extremely familiar with it and remembered the entrance to every layer. At this moment, his body flickered within the Rune Clan's territory.

Along the way, he did not stop at all. Often, just as he arrived at a layer, his body would flicker and vanish, reappearing at the entrance to the next layer. Before long, he arrived at the sixteenth layer.

Inside this sixteenth layer, thirteen coffins flickering with runes were placed.

These thirteen coffins were arranged in a circle, and in the middle was a black pool of water, emitting waves of cold air that permeated the surroundings. Those coffins were the same as what Wang Lin had seen years ago, exuding a sinister aura. The skeletons lying inside were the ancestors of the Rune Clan through the generations.

The entrance to the seventeenth layer was right inside this black pool. Wang Lin gazed at the pool; there was a Seal inside that could only be broken once one's cultivation reached Yang Solid. Back then, Wang Lin could not enter and had to rely on Big Head's power to reach the seventeenth layer.

Now revisiting the old place, Wang Lin took a step forward with a calm expression. The moment he neared the pool, the Seal of the pool could not withstand the invisible pressure coming from Wang Lin's body. With a loud boom, it collapsed, and a huge Vortex appeared.

The Vortex stirred the black pool water, slowly revealing the entrance to the next layer. Wang Lin took a step and entered, vanishing.

Upon appearing, Wang Lin arrived at this seventeenth layer of the Rune Clan. Back then, this place was filled with countless iron chains, and countless Immortal mummies, having had their souls and spirits sealed, became the guards of this place.

The scenes from back then were still in Wang Lin's memory. He had once waged a fierce battle here, causing this seventeenth layer to collapse. Now, appearing and sweeping his gaze across, this seventeenth layer was a ruin, with only the huge Vortex in the center position remaining.

This Vortex was the entrance to the eighteenth layer that had appeared after the seventeenth layer collapsed back then.

Gazing at the entrance, Wang Lin sighed lightly. He had struggled so hard to get here back then; now that he returned, everything had become extremely simple. He still remembered that back then, after opening the way to this eighteenth layer, the old Vermilion Bird's Clone, Huang Long, appeared and first stopped him from stepping into the eighteenth layer.

Later, Huang Long changed his mind and, under his protection, allowed him to enter that eighteenth layer to gain insights.

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Lin walked into the Vortex on the ground with a calm expression. Immediately, a roaring sound erupted in his ears, but it could not disturb his mind in the slightest. Until that roaring sound slowly dissipated, Wang Lin appeared at the deepest place he had reached back then: the Rune Clan, eighteenth layer!

This was a stone chamber a hundred zhang in size!

The surroundings were pitch black; only a faint flame in the very center emitted a small amount of light, merging with the darkness around it, making this place appear dim.

Especially under the flickering of that flame, countless ghostly things seemed to be floating around, and the sounds of roaring that pierced into the soul could faintly be heard. There were even some ghostly phantoms that manifested like wisps of smoke, circling the surroundings, wanting to pounce on the flame, but as soon as they neared, they would immediately be dispersed by the light of the flame.

It was right here back then that Wang Lin, with the help of Huang Long, absorbed a wisp of Origin power from within. That wisp of Origin almost burst him apart, and his gaze toward that flame back then was filled with deep apprehension.

After a moment of silence, Wang Lin walked to the flame. As he approached, the countless ghosts in the dimness of the stone chamber immediately retreated, and waves of shrill screams echoed in his soul.

It seemed that Wang Lin's arrival made these ghosts afraid to the limit; at this moment, they retreated to the surroundings while trembling, not daring to come forward.

Gazing at the flame, the Origin power contained within it, looking at it now, was truly minuscule and extremely impure, as if it had been forcefully fused together by someone. It no longer held any attraction for him.

"The last layer… what exactly is hidden inside… Yun Quezi once said that the nineteenth layer had a wisp of the Rune Clan Old Ancestor's remnant soul…" Wang Lin's eyes flashed.

"But the Rune Clan Old Ancestor is the Venerable Master's daughter. That woman was sealed in the Demon Spirit Land by Qing Lin back then; it is impossible for her remnant soul to be in here!" Wang Lin raised his right hand and directly grabbed the flame.

The Origin power contained within this flame suddenly erupted, as if it wanted to resist, but its power was truly insignificant to the current Wang Lin.

His right hand squeezed hard, and with a loud boom, the flame directly collapsed, turning into specks of firelight that spread to the surroundings. As they spread, those ghosts hidden in the darkness immediately dissipated and perished one by one.

A circular door slowly appeared where the flame had collapsed.

This door exuded the vicissitudes of eternity, and there were a large number of runes on it, sealing it tightly! The number of these runes was too large; densely packed, they were clearly not branded at the same time, but rather, over countless years, runes had been added from time to time, and over time, they had grown to this quantity.

Although impure, these runes were strangely fused together, forming an extremely strong Seal power. This Seal, while preventing outsiders from entering, actually also had the function of sealing the things inside the door!

Whether these Seals were for sealing the inside or the outside, no one knew.

Wang Lin gazed at those runes, his expression gradually becoming solemn. He knew why that old Vermilion Bird's Clone had never been able to enter this nineteenth layer back then!

Because the power of these rune Seals had actually reached its Peak, comparable to the full power of the fifth heavenly decay! To break this Seal, even if one's cultivation reached the fifth heavenly decay, it would be very difficult to do so, unless one were a Third Step grandmaster!

"To think there is such a Seal on the Vermilion Bird Star…" Wang Lin gazed at those runes for a long time. He raised his right hand, and a golden light flashed in his hand. He wiped it across the door, and a crackling sound suddenly erupted; it was the countless runes, which collapsed layer by layer under Wang Lin's wipe!

In an instant, the countless Seals on the door were almost all shattered, leaving only one!

This scene was something only the current Wang Lin could achieve; in the past, that Seal would have been enough to stop ten thousand Cultivators!

The last rune remaining on the door was extremely simple; it was formed by a single stroke, just a circle. It looked ordinary, but in reality, as Wang Lin looked at it, this last rune faintly contained a strange power.

This power was also a Seal, but what it sealed was the aura! It sealed off the aura inside this door, making it so that no matter what existed inside, not a single bit of aura could leak out.

Even under Wang Lin's gaze, he faintly saw that within the circle, a wisp of golden light was actually revealed! It revealed a wisp of extremely deeply hidden Immortal power!

"This rune… it is absolutely not something the Rune Clan could possess!" Wang Lin stared at that last rune, took a deep breath, and his pupils contracted.

This rune did not emit any aura, but under Wang Lin's Divine Sense, he could clearly feel a pressure existing within it.

"This is the pressure of the Immortal Bloodline!" The moment he felt this pressure, Wang Lin retreated a few steps. His eyes flashed, and he raised his right hand. Under the golden light permeating his hand, his internal Immortal power circulated and transformed into a finger, which he pressed directly toward that last rune.

The circular rune flashed, and a golden light flashed within it; suddenly, an aura that Wang Lin was extremely familiar with faintly swirled around it.

The moment his finger was about to land, Wang Lin's expression changed drastically. His right hand stopped abruptly, and his eyes revealed an expression of disbelief as he stared fixedly at the circle.

"This… there is actually dao ancient power in here!!"

That aura that was familiar to him was exactly the dao ancient, the aura of that dao ancient Ye Mo! The moment he saw this aura, Wang Lin's whole body trembled, and a shocking guess suddenly appeared in his mind!

"The left eye of the dao ancient Ye Mo, shot down by Li Guang's arrow, dissipated into the starry sky. There is dao ancient aura here; this… could it be that what is sealed in the nineteenth layer of the Rune Clan is that dao ancient left eye!!"

Wang Lin's heart was pounding.

"It shouldn't be wrong. In this world, an object that contains both the Immortal Bloodline Power and the dao ancient aura, besides that left eye taken away by the arrow, there cannot be any other object!

That left eye originally did not have the Immortal Bloodline Power, but after being wounded by that arrow, the arrow of Li Guang contained the Immortal Bloodline aura. In this way, it caused the two to fuse!

This Fusion is the same as in my body; it contains a repulsive force. I don't know by what method the Rune Clan turned this repulsive force into this Seal, making it so that no one in the world knows that the dao ancient left eye is actually here!!"

The fourth update is released, but the updates are not over. I will continue to update tomorrow! Could I have some monthly votes to accompany Er Gen?
