Chapter 1744: Ancient Mystery, I Would Rather Stay with My Wife Forever

As the words were spoken, in the Void Realm where Wang Lin had bowed, the figure of Xuan Luo slowly became clear, finally revealing itself within the starry sky.

The moment they saw Xuan Luo clearly, the expressions of Daoist Blue Dream and Tuo Sen changed abruptly; their pupils contracted violently, and they became extremely grave.

They had not sensed this sudden appearance of Xuan Luo at all. Even now, they could only see him with their eyes, but if they closed them, their Divine Sense still could not detect a trace of him.

Xuan Luo did not even look at Tuo Sen or Daoist Blue Dream. With an interested smile on his lips, he gazed at Wang Lin, waiting for an answer. Xuan Luo was not surprised that Wang Lin knew he was hiding, but being called by name made him start to guess and realize a few things.

"I know, within the first flower world, in the rule realm set by that little White Tiger fellow, you took a wisp of Divine Sense soul from that little Cultivator of the Five Elements Star! I presume you secretly searched this wisp of soul and learned from it what happened on the Five Elements Star after you left!" Xuan Luo smiled and spoke slowly.

Wang Lin was silent for a moment and nodded. In truth, it was exactly as Xuan Luo said; Wang Lin had indeed searched his name from that Five Elements Star Cultivator's soul wisp.

The memories in that soul wisp were few, as it was incomplete, only retaining some recent events. Among them was the scene of Xuan Luo appearing after Wang Lin left the Five Elements Star.

This also confirmed the slight doubt that arose in Wang Lin's heart when he first saw the Five Elements Star Cultivator; after all, he had not seen that old man who had died at Xuan Luo's hands for speaking wildly and despising the Ancient Lineage!

To be precise, the soul search happened after Wang Lin killed Seven-Subjugation, at the moment he prepared to collect the Eye Fish. Its strange disappearance caused Wang Lin's heart to be shocked. Afterward, he carefully sought the reason and finally found the answer within that soul wisp.

In the Donglin Sect where the second flower woman Ancient God was, Wang Lin had already sensed something. Later, in the Ancient Tomb, he further deduced and confirmed the answer he knew. The moment he stepped back three paces to stand behind Xuan Luo, letting Xuan Luo make a move, Wang Lin understood that what he knew was true.

"The reason you were able to accurately sense my location must be related to the Eye Fish… I overlooked the mutual aura resonance between the male and female of this beast." Xuan Luo shook his head. He had indeed been negligent in this regard.

However, being discovered by Wang Lin and having his figure and identity known—from this perspective, Wang Lin had exceeded his, Xuan Luo's, tests, which made him extremely satisfied.

"Is what this old man said correct?" Xuan Luo smiled, looking at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's expression was strange, and he nodded again.

"So to speak, you not only know this old man's name but also know my identity?" Xuan Luo's smile grew wider. During these days he had been hiding by Wang Lin's side, his mood had been extremely pleasant, with an indescribable feeling. Recalling it now, he felt a lingering aftertaste, and even had the sentiment that it would have been better if Wang Lin had discovered him a little later.

"Immortal Astral Continent, one of the Nine Suns, Great Heavenly Venerate of the Dao Ancient Lineage!" Wang Lin was silent for a moment and spoke softly. When he first learned all this from that soul wisp, his heart had been stirred with monstrous waves, taking a long time to calm down. However, he had hidden his expression well at the time, and no one had seen any trace of it.

"The reason the Five Elements Star Cultivators gave up on competing for the third soul and their goals was also because of you, Senior. Even the help given to this Junior was due to your words. For this, this Junior is grateful." Wang Lin looked at Xuan Luo and said slowly.

The more Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin, the more he liked him. Throughout his observation, every aspect of Wang Lin had exceeded his expectations. Being extremely satisfied, and hearing Wang Lin's humble yet unyielding words, he could not help but laugh out loud.

What he appreciated even more was that although Wang Lin clearly knew of his existence, from beginning to end, he had never once asked for help. This battle at the core of the Immortal Cave Realm had been completely reversed by his own power alone.

This point left Xuan Luo without any hesitation, confirming his intention to take Wang Lin as his only Disciple.

"Come back with me to the territory of the Dao Ancient Lineage on the Immortal Astral Continent, become my, Xuan Luo's, only Disciple, and protect the Dao Ancient Lineage. Little fellow, are you willing or not?" Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin, his expression kind, his voice without a hint of severity, but rather with the tone of an elder discussing with a Junior.

His expression and his tone caused a warmth to rise in Wang Lin's heart. But he did not agree immediately, instead falling into deep thought.

Xuan Luo had not been observing Wang Lin for just a day or two. He already had some understanding of Wang Lin, and seeing Wang Lin's expression, he vaguely guessed his thoughts.

Frowning, Xuan Luo glanced at the golden gate and sighed softly. His frown was not directed at Wang Lin, but because of what he had guessed regarding Wang Lin's thoughts.

"On the Immortal Astral Continent, there are many Immortal Cave Realms. It can be said that any sect with a certain scale will have its own Immortal Cave Realm. However, since ancient times, it has been rare for beings from an Immortal Cave Realm to walk out, let alone take the role of the host!"

"If it weren't for the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable's soul dispersing on its own, there would definitely not have been the outcome of being sealed." Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin and spoke slowly.

"Do you know why? This is because of the Immortal Astral Law!"

"For the Immortal Cave Realms opened up by various sects on the Immortal Astral Continent, if the beings within do not possess an Immortal Astral Bloodline, they cannot pass through the rules that have existed in the Immortal Astral since time immemorial."

"Calling it a rule, you can actually view it as a pressure that is incompatible with the Immortal Cave Realm. The magnitude of this pressure will cause all beings from the Immortal Cave Realm without a Bloodline to have their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering the moment they step out, being crushed to death!" Xuan Luo's voice echoed, revealing a sense of vicissitudes.

"This kind of Immortal Astral Law, no one can resist! I understand your thoughts. You do not wish to leave here alone; you want all those who wish to leave to go to the Immortal Astral Continent!" Xuan Luo sighed.

"If they do not wish to leave here, this Junior will not force them. But if there are those who wish to leave, this Junior does indeed have this intention." Wang Lin was silent for a long time and said softly.

"This is impossible! Let alone you, even that woman named Wan'er whom you saw in your dream illusion technique cannot go to the Immortal Astral Continent!" As soon as Xuan Luo's words reached this point, Wang Lin suddenly looked up.

"She cannot go either?"

Xuan Luo's eyes revealed complexity. He knew the importance of that woman to Wang Lin and nodded.

Wang Lin was stunned there for a long, long time.

"But someone previously told me that if there is a guide on the Immortal Astral Continent, it can reduce that Immortal Astral Law…"

"Whoever told you that is lying to you! This matter is simply impossible to achieve, unless the Nine Suns all act at the same time, only then can they resist that supreme Immortal Astral Law!"

"This Immortal Astral Law was established by the Bloodlines of the Immortal Ancestor and the Ancient Ancestor and cannot be changed!"

Wang Lin's face turned pale, as if he had suddenly lost most of his blood. His body staggered back several steps, and it seemed the last remaining mouthful of blood in his body spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The light in his eyes dimmed in an instant, and a stinging pain of despair twisted and rose in his heart.

"That woman named Wan'er, I have also checked. Strangely, her soul is incomplete; a part of it has disappeared. I have also helped you search for it in this Immortal Cave Realm, but there is not a single clue. This matter is very strange."

"But regardless, if her soul is incomplete, she cannot awaken. If her soul can be made complete, perhaps I can let her wake up!"

"You can go to the Immortal Astral Continent first. In the future, if there is an opportunity to find that missing soul, you can return here…" As he spoke, Xuan Luo stopped. He saw that Wang Lin's eyes seemed to be filled with blood and tears.

"Really… cannot be done…" Wang Lin lowered his head bitterly.

"I will not leave Wan'er here all alone and go to the Immortal Astral Continent by myself… The reason I want to open this Immortal Cave gate and go to the Immortal Astral Continent is all for her!! To let her awaken, my original plan was to take her with me to the Immortal Astral to find the opportunity for her to awaken… If she cannot go, and I go to the Immortal Astral alone, a thousand years, ten thousand years… I would rather stay with her in this Immortal Cave Realm, never go out, until death…" Wang Lin muttered, tears flowing from his eyes, the color of the tears tinged with a faint red.

If the soul is sorrowful, if the spirit is sorrowful, if all of one's own existence is despair, then blood tears flow.

Wang Lin's words fell into the ears of Daoist Blue Dream. He was silent there, listening to the man his daughter loved being so attached to another woman. But this time, he did not have thoughts of anger; all he had was sympathy and sorrow. He thought of his own wife.

Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin for a long, long time. He sighed deeply and suddenly spoke.

"Wang Lin, it is not without a way! This old man will risk it once and help you resist this Immortal Astral Law. I will cast the Heavenly Yang Reincarnation Technique. Any of your friends who wish to leave this Immortal Cave, under my Reincarnation Technique, will be reborn on the Immortal Astral Continent through the method of Reincarnation!"

"After Reincarnation, they will be citizens of the Immortal Astral Continent and possess a Bloodline, but their memories will be sealed. You will need to find them one by one in the future and awaken their sealed memories!"

"This process might be extremely long. How long exactly, this old man cannot calculate. Perhaps some people will only need a few years to be reborn, or it might take more than a thousand years!"

"Moreover, with this Reincarnation, this old man cannot determine the location. The Immortal Astral Continent is too large. You must be prepared and have the confidence to find them one by one!"

"As for that woman named Wan'er… her soul is incomplete, so she cannot be reincarnated… But I will also help you. At the moment of resisting that Immortal Astral Law, you will have a fifty percent chance of taking her safely to the Immortal Astral Continent!"

"But this possibility is only fifty percent! Once you fail, you will die together with her!! Tell me, your choice!" Xuan Luo had to pay a great price for these words, but at this moment, looking at Wang Lin, he spoke without hesitation.

There is no help without a reason in this world; Wang Lin understood this. It is just that for some people, different actions can bring different endings. For example, Dun Tian in the past, and Xuan Luo now. Their actions contained selfish motives, but Wang Lin felt warmth, not coldness.

And Wang Lin valued gratitude; he was worth it for Dun Tian in the past and Xuan Luo today to do so.
