Chapter 1596: Ancient Mystery, Seven Dao Sect (Third Update)

Withdrawing his gaze, Wang Lin pointed his right hand, the Indestructible Finger, several times in front of him. Each point dissipated some of the impact. Finally, with a sharp slash of his index finger, amidst the continuous collapsing and reforming, he forcibly tore a gap in the wave-like force of the impact, allowing his body to step out through the Rift.

The sweep of the force turned the area within a radius of millions of miles into ruins. The rumbling continued for a long time before slowly dissipating, leaving only the distant, thunder-like muffled sounds echoing.

Wang Lin stood in mid-air, looking down at the ruined earth. Dust was kicked up, appearing from afar like a dust storm covering the land, making it seem as though the ground had been swallowed by dust.

His white hair fluttered, and his clothes whipped in the wind, but his expression was extremely calm, revealing the demeanor of a Grandmaster, a powerful expert at the Void Spirit Middle Stage of the Third Step.

Flipping his right hand, a pale golden crystal with countless fine cracks appeared in Wang Lin's hand. This crystal contained the memories of the gaunt old man's entire life.

However, these memories could not be viewed with Divine Sense. Even if Wang Lin's cultivation were higher, he still would not have been able to see the memories of the old man's life from this crystal.

An Immortal's memories require someone with Immortal Bloodline Power to view them. This is a restriction, a restriction from the netherworld; even though Wang Lin is of the Ancient Clan, he could not view them.

Or rather, this is a difference in level. It is like an ant obtaining an elephant's memories but lacking the ability to understand them. But Wang Lin was different. Between his brows was the golden blood transformed from the Immortal's Indestructible Body. This drop of blood contained the Immortal's Bloodline Power, and its purity was extremely rare even in the Immortal Astral Continent!

With this blood inside, Wang Lin wanting to view these memories was as easy as turning the pages of a book! Golden light shone from between his brows as the drop of golden blood materialized. Wang Lin held the memory crystal, slowly pressed it against his brow, and closed his eyes.

The moment he closed his eyes, Wang Lin felt as if he had entered a fantastical world. He saw it!

He saw a strange continent. This continent was vast; even its owner had not walked to the end of it in his entire life. In fact, the farthest he had traveled was equivalent to several Inner Realms and Outer Realms combined, but compared to this vast continent, it was not even one ten-thousandth.

On this continent, the most dazzling things were the nine suns hanging high in the sky. Those nine suns were high above, emitting endless light, covering this boundless land.

After absorbing the old man's memories, the moment Wang Lin saw these nine suns, he found a legend in those memories that had been circulating on this continent for a very, very long time.

Legend has it that the nine suns of the Immortal Astral Continent are nine Heavenly Palaces, representing nine supreme Great Heavenly Venerates on this continent. Even the old man's master, the person of the Seven-Colored Statue, had not reached this level.

It is rumored that nine is the limit. If one day a tenth sun appears on the Immortal Astral Continent, the Immortal Astral will face a boundless catastrophe!

That old man was born on this continent. As he grew, he joined a sect. The name of this sect was the Seven Dao Sect!

The Sect Master of the Seven Dao Sect was a pair of Dao Companions. One of them was the person of the Seven-Colored Statue. On this continent, he was known as the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable!

His cultivation was unfathomable; he founded the sect and widely accepted Disciples. In the countless millions of years since its founding, the Seven Dao Sect had experienced countless crises, but in the end, they were all resolved by the two Dao Companions, slowly gaining high prestige in this region.

As time passed, the owner of these memories, that old man, eventually became one of the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable's hundred guards, becoming a powerful expert within the Seven Dao Sect!

He was second only to the Four Great War Generals—Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger—and enjoyed high status and power within the Seven Dao Sect, with access to all kinds of Cultivation Techniques and Spirit Pills.

Until one day…

In the old man's memories, on that night, dazzling rays of light erupted outside the Seven Dao Sect. With the appearance of the light, a pressure that even he had to tremble before permeated the earth, covering all directions.

Under this pressure, two suns appeared in the night sky, where they would not normally appear, causing the old man's heart to shatter in terror.

Those two suns that suddenly appeared in the night had endless light. Trembling, the old man had a deep memory of this scene. He remembered the rumors and thought of the identity represented by the suns.

In that endless fear, he heard roars and bellows that made his seven orifices bleed. With his heart shaken, he fell into a coma.

The moment before he lost consciousness, he felt the Sect Master, the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable, and his Dao Companion rush out of the Seven Dao Sect, heading straight toward the distant place where the light flashed and the two suns appeared.

It was not until several days later that the old man woke up. Upon waking, he bitterly discovered that his cultivation had actually dropped by a few levels. Several months later, the Seven Dao Sect Master returned alone. Although his expression was gloomy, his eyes were extremely bright.

After this Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable returned, he never mentioned why his Dao Companion did not come back. Instead, he took his Disciples, several Immortal Concubines, the hundred guards, and the Four Great War Generals into his Immortal Cave, sealed it completely, and left behind countless Seal imprints. He even went as far as to take out several Magic Treasures that the owner of these memories had never seen before to Seal the Immortal Cave.

The memory ends here. Perhaps because of the countless fine cracks on the crystal, there was a break. Afterward, it became fragmented, with only a few memory fragments existing.

However, in one memory fragment, Wang Lin saw a woman. This woman was wearing silver clothes, and her identity was one of the Immortal Venerable's attendants.

Wang Lin was familiar with this woman. The moment he saw her, his mind gradually formed a clear connection to past events. This woman was the Silver-Robed Woman corpse in Wang Lin's Storage Space that feared the Seven-Colored Statue!

In another memory fragment, Wang Lin saw the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable, who was the person commonly known in the Inner and Outer Realms as the Ancient Immortal Emperor and Ancient Immortal Venerable. He was the person of the Seven-Colored Statue!

After bringing everyone into the Immortal Cave and sealing the exit and entrance, he immediately left. He was busy with something in the Immortal Cave. Although the Immortal Concubines, the hundred guards, and the Four Great War Generals were confused, they dared not ask due to the Immortal Venerable's might. Instead, they each found a place to enter seclusion, silently waiting for the Immortal Venerable's summons.

Until one day, a gloomy voice came from outside the Immortal Cave, which woke the owner of these memories from his meditation.

"Seven-Colored Dao Venerable, you could even abandon your own Dao Companion. You must have obtained a great treasure of fortune. You left clues to lure me here alone; this Ancient wants to see what kind of scheme you are playing!"

This voice was extremely unfamiliar to the old man, but it contained an extremely powerful pressure, causing the memory owner's heart to jump. He opened his eyes with a solemn expression, but the next sentence he heard made him terrified to the extreme!

"dao ancient Ye Mo, this Venerable invited you here, yet you insist it is a scheme. Whether it is a scheme or not, you will know once you see it!"

The name "dao ancient Ye Mo" was like thunder to the ears of the memory owner. The name of the Great Venerable of the Ancient Kingdom, dao ancient Ye Mo, was renowned!

The following events were another gap in the memory. Wang Lin did not see them. What he saw was the last memory fragment.

In that memory fragment, he saw a chaotic battle. In the blur, he could not see who was in this battle at all. He could only see the hundred guards, the Four Great War Generals, and several Immortal Concubines surrounding three people!

Those three people were blurry, surrounded by blinding golden light, and could not be seen clearly. This battle seemed to have lasted for a long time. Until, amidst heavy casualties, one of the three laughed and walked out under the thick golden light. With one step, he swept away the Seven Dao Sect members in front of him and headed straight for a stone gate.

"This King has come personally, yet you, a mere Seven-Colored Venerable, still won't come out to kneel and pay respects!" The golden-light person's laughter echoed, but to Wang Lin's ears, it made his heart tremble.

Just as he approached the stone gate, a heaven-shaking roar came from inside the stone gate. The memory ended completely at this point!

Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes. The memory crystal pressed against his brow shattered completely, turning into powder that blew away from Wang Lin's side in the wind.

"The Madman's voice!!" Wang Lin took a deep breath and his Divine Sense entered his Storage Space, seeing the Madman still sleeping there with a silly smile on his face.

In silence, Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. The things he learned from these memories solved many of his doubts, but at the same time, more confusion arose.

"I know about the matter of dao ancient Ye Mo. I had some guesses about the Madman's arrival before… Plus, what the Silver-Robed Woman said before about her not opening the door, could it be that this door refers to the door of the Madman's arrival…

The result of that great battle was that the Madman lost his sanity and went mad… The Ancient Immortal Realm became ruins, and the remnants of the Seven Dao Sect from that year went into seclusion.

The owner of this Immortal Cave, the Seven Dao Sect Master, the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable, was also seriously injured… But is all of this the truth? If it is the truth, then what they were fighting over might be the so-called Heavenly Dao, or possibly, the Heaven Defying… What is the connection between Heaven Defying and Heavenly Dao…

Heaven Defying is a Magical Artifact in the form of a Compass; it is unlikely to be the Heavenly Dao… Then what is it, and where did it come from!"

Wang Lin frowned, his eyes flickering.

"And what I learned back then in the Flashing Thunder Clan, some years after this great battle, a group of mysterious foreign Cultivators appeared in the Outer Realm. That Kunji Whip was one of their Magic Treasures…

Who are these people…" Wang Lin had a vague feeling that he had lifted a layer of a mysterious veil, and he was getting closer and closer to the final answer regarding what happened countless years ago.
