Chapter 1692: Ancient Mystery, Nine Revolutions Heart Wheel!

Putting away the Water General Armor, Wang Lin's eyes were as cold as frost. The moment he looked toward the Vortex, he raised his right hand and violently grabbed inward.

Simultaneously, streaks of ten-thousand-foot golden light emanated from the Vortex. This dazzling golden light, like sharp swords, clashed with Wang Lin's right hand the instant it arrived.

A resounding boom echoed, turning into layers of reverberation that continuously rumbled within the collapsing Water Formation.

Wang Lin retreated three steps, pulled back his right hand, and his expression remained utterly indifferent, without the slightest change.

Under the roar, the Vortex immediately shattered, turning into sparkling specks that suddenly exploded outward and vanished without a trace.

On the Five Elements Star, the ninth floor of the tall tower was currently suffused with golden light. Sitting cross-legged within the golden light was an old man, dressed in a golden robe, upon whose chest was embroidered a lifelike Five Elements pattern.

At this moment, the old man’s body shook, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His right hand was bruised and swollen, faintly turning black, and was strangely twisted, clearly having been broken.

A large amount of fresh blood flowed from his right arm, dripping onto the ground with a pat-a, pat-a sound.

"A person of the Ancient Race! The power emanating from his body belongs to the Dao Ancient Lineage! He doesn't resemble a descendant formed from Ye Mo's Three Thousand Blood. How could his descendant possess power comparable to Ye Mo's might! This person is very likely not a Cultivator of the Immortal Cave Realm, but rather someone from Immortal Astral! Damn it, besides my Guiyi Sect, someone else actually entered this place!" The old man's pupils constricted, and his expression was filled with pain. He lowered his head to look at his right arm, his eyes showing shock and lingering fear.

"What a vicious kick. If my Armor hadn't been internalized within my body, that kick would certainly have shattered my right arm, and perhaps even caused my body to explode…"

His complexion extremely gloomy, the old man suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly toward the outside of the tower.

"Na Duo, come see me!"

As the old man's voice echoed from the Ninth Floor of the Tall Tower, all the Guiyi Sect Cultivators outside the tower felt their minds shake. The clamor instantly vanished, and they simultaneously knelt in the air, paying homage to the tall tower.

Na Duo's eyelids twitched. Without the slightest hesitation, he headed straight for the Ninth Floor of the Tall Tower. He cupped his fists outside, just about to speak, when a phantom large hand immediately grabbed him from beside him and instantly pulled him into the ninth floor.

Na Duo dared not resist, allowing the large hand to drag him into the tall tower. The moment he appeared on the ninth floor, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground, and with rare deference, quickly spoke.

"Your junior descendant, Na Duo, greets the Ninth Old Ancestor."

"Who is he, and how did you provoke this person!" The old man wearing the golden robe stared at Na Duo and roared.

Hearing the old man's words, Na Duo raised his head, ready to speak, but the moment he saw the pool of fresh blood the old man had just spat out on the ground, his mind trembled. When he then saw the sorry state of the old man's right arm, huge waves surged in his heart.

He knew that the Old Ancestor had acted, but had failed to gain the upper hand and was instead injured by Wang Lin. His body trembling, he quickly recounted everything he knew about Wang Lin, holding nothing back.

While Na Duo was speaking, inside the Five Elements Formation, as the Water Formation collapsed, Wang Lin could have chosen to leave, but he did not. His body swayed forward, and the moment he took a step, the illusory Five Elements light before him immediately became dazzling. When the scene cleared, what was revealed before him was a brand new world!

A refreshing breeze blew, carrying a fragrance that permeated his heart, making one feel relaxed and joyful. This was an endless dense jungle, where towering trees, like sharp swords piercing the sky, exploded into countless leaves and a hazy green shade.

The Five Elements Wood Formation!

Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He looked around, a smile gradually appearing at the corner of his mouth. Setting aside whether he could achieve his goal after entering the Five Elements Star this time, the Five Elements Formation alone had already granted Wang Lin immense fortune.

Now that he was inside the Five Elements Wood Formation, how could Wang Lin let this opportunity slip? His body swayed forward, heading straight ahead.

But the moment Wang Lin moved his body, all the towering trees within the entire Five Elements Wood Formation simultaneously shook. Countless leaves instantly detached, seemingly swept up by a strange force, and amid ear-splitting shrieks, these leaves rushed toward Wang Lin from all directions.

There were too many leaves. From a distance, as they whistled, they obscured the sky and submerged the earth, instantly approaching Wang Lin, like flying flowers claiming life, or falling leaves seizing the soul.

Wang Lin's expression remained unchanged. He retreated three steps, clenched his right fist, and as cold light flashed in his eyes, he suddenly raised his hand and violently tore forward!

Heaven Tear!!

With this tear, wind and clouds churned, and with a loud, ripping sound, the world in front of Wang Lin was instantly torn open by a massive Rift. This Rift connected heaven and earth, sweeping vertically, as if intending to rip the world into two halves!

In fact, the world in front of Wang Lin was indeed split into two parts by this tearing action. The center of the Rift was pitch black, seemingly leading to nothingness, and as it continuously expanded, it rapidly spread out, like night swallowing day.

If it were just this, it would not be enough to unleash the power of the Heaven Tear Art. At this moment, those countless flying leaves were also torn in half! All the leaves instantly split open down the middle, ripping toward both sides, revealing the connecting filaments within them.

All the leaves arriving from all directions were treated the same way!

Following the descent of Wang Lin's right hand after executing the Heaven Tear Art, heaven and earth roared. The deafening rumbling shook the surroundings, making the Five Elements Wood Formation seem as if it were about to collapse.

All the leaves rapidly approaching Wang Lin were split in two halves before him, swiftly sweeping past both sides of his body, colliding with the leaves coming from the opposite direction that were also split in half.

From afar, Wang Lin's figure was submerged by the roaring collision. Until a moment later, within the dark sky, Wang Lin, his white hair fluttering, slowly walked out step by step. Behind him, the Rift in the sky continuously expanded, pitch black like a great maw.

Behind him was the gloom formed by all the collapsing leaves, resembling the end of the world!

The moment Wang Lin walked out, on the ground of the Five Elements Wood Formation, the trees that had lost all their leaves suddenly began to writhe strangely. Under Wang Lin's gaze, these trees elongated like specters, linking together in a complex network. Suddenly, as all the trees on the ground connected and writhed, continuously stretching, a gigantic face made of wood quickly formed above them.

"Submit, or be destroyed." Wang Lin's white hair gently floated behind his head, his white robes fluttering as well. His expression was calm, and his gaze met the eyes of the wooden face on the ground.

The wooden face remained silent. After a long while, it slowly closed its tree-eyes, which carried the vicissitudes of time like annual rings. The moment its eyes closed, a vibrant green light gathered drop by drop on the brow of the gigantic wooden face, forming a green crystal that shot straight toward Wang Lin.

It floated motionless in front of Wang Lin. The moment Wang Lin pinched it with his right hand and stored it away, all the trees below began to writhe again, gradually returning to their previous appearance.

Wang Lin did not look down again. Instead, he lifted his foot and stepped forward. All the scenes before him distorted and finally collapsed. Streaks of golden stone radiance rapidly scattered from the collapsing Wood Formation, quickly enveloping the surroundings. As the Wood Formation dissipated, it transformed into the last of the Five Elements Formations, the Metal Formation!!

In the Metal Formation, the power of all metal and stone, along with a terrifying murderous aura, soared into the sky. Within the world of the Metal Formation, there was no ground. The place where the earth should have been was replaced by large, golden swords. Those swords created a scene of desolation and slaughter.

The sky held no clouds, no scorching sun; instead, there were endless sharp swords, hanging upside down in the sky. The moment Wang Lin appeared, the tips of those swords immediately emitted a buzzing sound!

This was the sound of swords! All the swords in this place resonated simultaneously!

Metal is not wood. Wood takes softness from resilience, which is why Wang Lin gave the intelligent Wood Spirit a choice. But metal is different; it is eternally hard, moving straight ahead, and will never bend!

The moment the swords began to sing, a roar echoed throughout the area. All the swords shot out simultaneously, sweeping across heaven and earth, ten thousand swords piercing the heart, heading straight for Wang Lin.

The roar reverberated, the intense sound becoming the only sound in this place, lingering for a long time.

Inside the Five Elements Star, on the Ninth Floor of the Tall Tower, as Na Duo finished recounting everything he knew about Wang Lin, the old man's expression grew gloomier. He still found it somewhat unbelievable that Wang Lin was not a person from the Immortal Astral Continent.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly raised his head sharply to look outside the tower, his expression showing desolation and Killing Intent.

"The Metal Formation has been broken by him! He is about to enter the Nine Revolutions!" As he spoke, the golden-robed old man stood up, his eyes filled with Killing Intent and cold light.

"Old Ancestor, can our Five Elements Star's most powerful Formation, the Nine Revolutions Heart Wheel, stop this person?" Na Duo hesitated before asking in a low voice.

"The Nine Revolutions Heart Wheel: one revolution every nine breaths. The faster the heart moves, the faster it spins… It's hard to say about this person. This Formation is both difficult and simple. It is one of the Mountain Protecting Formations of the Guiyi Sect in Immortal Astral.

Although this current Formation only possesses forty percent of the power of the Guiyi Sect Great Formation in Immortal Astral, as long as this person cannot spot the clue right away, and as long as the Heart Wheel turns even slightly, he will definitely be unable to break this Formation!

"Everything depends on his heart—whether it moves or not!" The Old Ancestor muttered. His words were too profound, and Na Duo listened with only partial understanding, but he did not ask further. Instead, he looked up at the sky outside the tower.

Outside the Five Elements Star, within the Formation, a roar echoed. As the Metal Formation collapsed, Wang Lin emerged from within. At this moment, the scene before him was no longer illusory or vague; he clearly saw the Five Elements Star not far away!

It seemed as if he only needed to take one step forward to set foot on the Five Elements Star existing in the starry sky.

Behind Wang Lin was the disintegrating Five Elements Formation!

Staring at the Five Elements Star, Wang Lin was about to step onto it, but just then, his steps suddenly paused. He let out a soft exclamation, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

As he watched, the Five Elements Star actually moved!

It began to rotate slowly!
