Chapter 1686: Ancient Mystery, Origin of the Earth!

"Should we… inform Elder Nado about this matter?" Among the four, there was another old man. This man wore a Daoist robe, with some brown spots on his face. At this moment, he hesitated and spoke in a hoarse voice.

His voice belonged to Yin Dongshen, who had been very wary of Wang Lin just now.

"I also suggest not provoking this Wang Lin before Elder Nado gives any instructions. This person is renowned. Since he has come to visit, if we were to…" The last to speak was a middle-aged man, who frowned and slowly said.

"When has our Five Elements Return to One Sect ever feared anyone! Even if this Wang Lin is extraordinary, so what? Even if he is a Dragon, he must lie low on our Five Elements Star!" The middle-aged woman shrieked.

"Stop arguing. This old man has already made a decision, and Elder Nado might not be unaware of these matters. Since he hasn't stopped us, let's see what kind of extraordinary abilities this Wang Lin possesses!" The black-robed old man with a mole under his right eye flicked his sleeve and spoke coldly.

As he flicked his sleeve, the Void Realm between the four immediately twisted, then transformed into a mirror. Within the mirror, it was precisely Wang Lin walking through the five intertwined rings!

At the same time, on the ninth floor of the top of this tall tower, two middle-aged men sat cross-legged. One of them wore a colorful robe, with a calm expression and strange light in his eyes, looking up at the sky outside the tower.

If Wang Lin were here, he would recognize this person at a glance as Nado, whom he had met on Vermilion Bird Star back then!

More than a thousand years had passed, leaving no trace on Nado. He still looked as he did back then, gazing at the sky, a smile on his lips.

"Back then, he was just a small Nascent Soul Cultivator. In these thousand years, he has grown to such a height… Even I am no longer his opponent."

"I am not his opponent either, but what does it matter? After all, we are just their descendants. Guarding this place is enough." The middle-aged man sitting opposite Nado, dressed in purple clothes and quite handsome, smiled upon hearing Nado's words.

"If an enemy truly comes, we don't need to act. Any Old Ancestor from the upper floors awakening at will would be enough to resolve everything. But speaking of which, do you think this Wang Lin can escape the Five Elements Grand Formation?"

"Perhaps the Five Elements, but under the Nine Revolutions, he shouldn't be able to pass the Third Revolution! You must know that this Formation was laid down by nine Old Ancestors simultaneously. Although many years have passed, it is by no means something an ordinary person can break! I roughly know Wang Lin's cultivation; he is only at the Middle Stage of the Void Spirit!" Nado laughed.

"In that case, let's just watch a show," the middle-aged man also smiled, looking outside the tower and speaking leisurely.

Outside the Five Elements Star, within the five light rings, Wang Lin walked forward with a normal expression. The rumbling sounds from the surrounding light rings echoed in his ears, but none of it could harm Wang Lin in the slightest.

How could his powerful dao ancient Physical Body be broken by these Divine Abilities? As he advanced, the Five Elements power continuously transformed, sometimes with towering flames, sometimes with sandstorms, and even raging seas covering the sky, mixed with the sharp screams of myriad metals, and the low roars of wood spirits rushing towards him.

Wang Lin's steps did not falter. He had come to this Five Elements Star fully prepared. Even if it was a Dragon's Den or a Tiger's Lair, he would brave it!

There was a second variable hidden here, besides Heavenly Fate Child. Wang Lin did not know how much hidden power this variable possessed, which was extremely unfavorable for finding the third soul!

His purpose in coming here was to unveil this variable. He wanted to clearly know how strong this hidden power of the opponent truly was!

Only then could Wang Lin be at ease!

He wasn't arrogant enough to think he could crush this power, but he was confident that no matter how strong the opponent was, if he, Wang Lin, wanted to leave, no one would dare to stop him!

Without this confidence, he would never have entered this place alone!

As he stepped forward, the Five Elements Divine Abilities continuously boomed and collapsed around Wang Lin, until he took his fourteenth step, penetrating deep into the interior of the five intertwined light rings outside the Five Elements Star!

Here, the light was dazzling and blinding. The power of the Five Elements changed abruptly, and everything surrounding Wang Lin instantly transformed into the Five Elements Earth power!

Everything that appeared before was merely the periphery. What Wang Lin was about to face now was the true first Formation within the Five Elements Array, the Great Earth Formation!

As Wang Lin entered the interior of the Five Elements light ring, and the Great Earth Formation was activated, his vision immediately blurred, as if he were in another world.

In this world, there was only earth, no sky! Below was endless earth, and looking up, where the sky should be, was also an inverted expanse of earth!

Pellets of soil fell from the inverted earth above, like rain. In front, storms roared, connecting the upper and lower earths. There wasn't just one storm, but nine. Nine storms encircled Wang Lin, their roars shaking the area and echoing endlessly.

At the same time, the nine swirling storms were extremely fast, almost instantly approaching. Within a thousand feet of Wang Lin, they transformed into nine giant human faces. These nine faces, composed of mud and sand, roared and charged towards Wang Lin.

The earth beneath Wang Lin's feet also trembled, rolling back in layers, constantly wriggling like an ocean, as if a strange Vicious Beast was hidden within it.

The roaring assaulted his ears, but Wang Lin's expression remained calm as he coldly observed everything.

"Mere Five Elements Formation Spirits, Wang has never put them in his eyes!" Wang Lin took a step forward, instantly nearing one of the human faces. The moment the face roared and tried to devour him, Wang Lin clenched his right fist and punched directly forward!

With a boom, the sand and earth human face instantly collapsed. As a large amount of mud dissipated around Wang Lin, he suddenly turned, flashed, and approached the second face, striking it with another punch!

The booming continued. Wang Lin took nine steps and threw nine punches, and the nine faces all collapsed. But at this moment, in this strange world, the inverted earth above rapidly wriggled, pressing down fiercely.

At the same time, the earth below rose upwards with the tremor. All of this happened in an instant. In a blink of an eye, these two vast expanses of earth, like continents, converged, and with a boom, submerged Wang Lin's figure.

Inside the Five Elements Star's tall tower, the black-robed old man and the other three all focused their gazes on the huge mirror. Upon seeing this scene, the black-robed old man burst into laughter.

"How can the Great Earth Formation be so easily broken? This Wang Lin is a bit too overconfident. Even if he is at the Third Step, breaking this Great Earth Formation would still require some effort!"

"That's right, this is only the second transformation of the Great Earth Formation. There are seven more transformations to come. I think even if this Wang Lin passes the Earth Formation, he will be severely injured." The middle-aged woman's voice was sharp, and she stared at Wang Lin in the mirror with hatred and schadenfreude.

"Wang Lin, you are acquainted with Situ Nan. Today, you shall receive punishment on behalf of that heartless man!"

The other two were also stunned for a moment, then frowned. They looked at each other, both feeling that something was amiss; it seemed a bit too smooth.

Just then, the scene in the mirror suddenly changed dramatically. This violent change immediately interrupted the laughter of the black-robed old man and the middle-aged woman. The moment they saw everything clearly, their expressions immediately changed.

They saw that in the mirror, the converged earth, which had completely closed, pressing Wang Lin tightly in the middle without any gaps, was now emitting earth-shattering roars. These roars were rhythmic, boom, boom, boom, as if someone inside was calmly punching their way out, one punch at a time.

Cracks suddenly appeared on the earth, and the cracks grew more and more numerous, until finally, it abruptly collapsed, shattering into pieces. The earth broke apart, and Wang Lin, his expression unchanged, walked out step by step from the collapsing earth.

If it were only this, it would not have shocked the black-robed man and the middle-aged woman. They were horrified to see Wang Lin in the mirror raise his right hand, and without knowing what Divine Ability he used, the collapsing earth exploded, transforming into countless particles of mud that rushed towards Wang Lin. As they swirled around his body, they eventually shrank mysteriously and condensed onto Wang Lin's right palm!

It transformed into a small pinch of dirt!

This small pinch of dirt exuded a strong spirituality; it was precisely the Formation Spirit of the Five Elements Great Earth Formation!

The four fell silent. The black-robed old man even gasped, his eyes filled with horror. He stared blankly at Wang Lin in the mirror gripping his right hand, watched the small pinch of dirt disappear, and then watched Wang Lin in the mirror raise his head and suddenly look towards him. The old man instinctively let out a cry of surprise.

Not just him, but the moment Wang Lin's gaze swept over them in the mirror, the middle-aged woman and the other two felt their scalps tingle and retreated simultaneously.

"He can't possibly have discovered us, we are outside the Formation!"

"He… he actually took the Spirit of the Earth!!"

On the tenth floor of the tall tower, Nado's gaze remained fixed on the sky outside the tower, gradually frowning.

"If he merely broke the Earth Formation, it would be fine, but he actually took away the Great Earth Spirit… Indeed, his reputation is not unfounded… He is truly strong!" The middle-aged man opposite Nado spoke softly.

"No matter, there are still four more stages of the Five Elements, and after that, the power of the Nine Revolutions. Let's see how he collects that!" Nado's eyes flashed with cold light. He and Wang Lin had no real friendship, and their acquaintance from back then had long faded over these thousand years.

At this very moment, no one in the entire Immortal Cave Realm noticed that a patch of blood-red color appeared in the Star Domain of Kunxu, flashing and then transforming into a black-haired youth.

The youth wore a black long gown. After glancing around, his gaze fell on the distance, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.

"He's there… Oh well, I don't know this child's temperament, so I'll follow and observe him."

In the coming time, Er Gen will not rest but will organize the outline, meticulously refining the final plot of this Immortal Cave Realm. There are also several climaxes that need to be carefully thought out on how to write them.

I don't want the quality to be affected by the monthly vote surges. Organizing the outline takes more time than writing an extra chapter. Please understand, even though it's two chapters today, please still give me your monthly votes. Thank you all.
