Chapter 1751: Immortal Astral, tenth sun, A Call of Master, Guarding the Dao Ancient Lineage

The path of the Dragon Body, a road for Reincarnation, was a distant path with an unknown end. This road was not meant for Wang Lin to walk. At this moment, he stood on the Dragon Body, looking at the surrounding ice protection and gazing into the distance.

Vaguely, he seemed to be able to see Li Qianmei and the others, constantly moving forward on this road, heading toward Reincarnation.

"Wang Lin, if you want to protect that remnant soul and bring her safely into the Immortal Astral, you must resist the Immortal Astral Law. You will have to leave here and move forward through the Void Realm. You might get lost, you might die…" Xuan Luo's voice echoed in Wang Lin's mind.

"The Immortal Astral Law is intangible; it manifests more as a pressure. Under this pressure, if you can persist, if you can resist, you might be able to make it out!"

"But such an opportunity, even with my help, only has a fifty-fifty chance… Since ancient times, I have never heard of a Great Heavenly Venerate helping someone from an Immortal Cave Realm resist the Immortal Astral Law. You should be the first… This is your fortune; there is no need to be overly grateful to me."

"If you can make it out, I will take you as my Disciple and bring you back to the Dao Ancient Lineage! If you ultimately die… I will help take care of those who have Reincarnation… You… take care!" Xuan Luo sighed softly. His regard for Wang Lin was not just a little; he truly intended to pass on his Legacy to him, to guard the Dao Ancient Lineage, and to guard the period of his own Reincarnation.

He even intended to help Wang Lin see if it was possible to enter the Primordial God Realm and make Wang Lin the tenth sun. Although this matter was unpredictable and extremely difficult, he had indeed thought about it.

"The Immortal Astral has countless Immortal Caves. Almost every sect has its own Immortal Cave Realm. Of course, if one wants an Immortal Cave Realm to propagate life, there must be a Heavenly Dao. In the Immortal Astral, although Heavenly Dao are not many, they are not rare."

"Since ancient times, I can imagine that countless beings from Immortal Cave Realms must have opened doors, attempting to walk out from within, but they all perished under the Immortal Astral Law…"

"On this journey, after leaving this path of the Dragon Body, you might see many portals in the Void Realm. Those portals are the Immortal Caves of the Immortal Astral. Perhaps you will even see corpses; those are the beings from Immortal Cave Realms who died under the Immortal Astral Law over countless years."

"I do not know what kind of impact the entry of beings from an Immortal Cave Realm into the Immortal Astral will have, but I hope you can be the first to succeed!"

"I cannot stay in the Immortal Clan's territory in the Immortal Astral for too long; I will wait for you for ten years… If you have not come out within ten years, then you must be dead…" Xuan Luo's words revealed a sense of vicissitudes, slowly echoing in Wang Lin's mind. His figure materialized in front of Wang Lin.

His gaze was kind as he looked at Wang Lin, like he was looking at a nephew.

"Within the Immortal Astral Law, I cannot leave a mark on you, and I cannot know if you are safe. The only way to judge whether you are dead is time… Ten years, Wang Lin. Ten years later, when I leave, my magic power will dissipate, and the Immortal Astral Law will erupt to the extreme. Under such Law, a firm heart may be the only root to keep yourself from getting lost…"

"Within ten years, you must come to the Immortal Astral…"

Wang Lin was silent, looking at Xuan Luo. He would forever remember everything the other party had done for him.

"Now, before you leave, tell me, are you willing to take me as your Master!" Xuan Luo's voice was gentle, falling into Wang Lin's ears, very warm.

To be able to insist on taking him as a Disciple at this time, rather than waiting for him to successfully enter the Immortal Astral before doing so—such determination and such treatment made Wang Lin's heart tremble.

"Master…" Wang Lin no longer had any reason not to accept this heavy kindness and responsibility. He understood that this call of "Master" meant that from now on, he had an inseparable responsibility and connection with the Dao Ancient Lineage.

This call of "Master" meant that he would pay even the price of his life to guard the Dao Ancient Lineage!

This call of "Master" was a repayment of kindness, a return for everything Xuan Luo had done for him…

Xuan Luo laughed heartily, very happy. He looked at Wang Lin, helped Wang Lin up with both hands, looked at him carefully for a few moments, and his laughter echoed.

"Disciple, Master will wait for you in the Immortal Astral!" As Xuan Luo said this, he raised his right hand and waved it toward the ice layer of the Dragon Body path beside them. The ice layer immediately melted, forming an opening. Bursts of dim light were transmitted from outside; that dim light was a part of the Immortal Astral Law.

"Since you are my Disciple, I will give you a gift for becoming my apprentice!" Xuan Luo suddenly patted his own brow with his right hand, bit the tip of his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The blood emitted a red glow and transformed into a Blood Dragon. The Blood Dragon roared, circled around Wang Lin, and rolled him toward the opening in the ice layer.

"As one of the nine suns, I will use my essence blood to protect you for a portion of the journey and then cast a spell to resist the Immortal Astral Law to keep you safe!" As Wang Lin was being rolled by the Blood Dragon and was about to rush into the opening, he raised his right hand and grabbed into the Void Realm, causing countless dim lights to fly out.

Within those several dim lights were all the beings and Souls from Wang Lin's Storage Space. Except for the Madman, almost everyone was there!

Xu Liguo, Liu Jinbiao, the Mosquito Beasts, and all other beings that existed in Wang Lin's Storage Space, as well as the Moon Gazer, which had signs of appearing because its body was too large.

"These beings have followed this Disciple for a long time. I ask Master to send them to the Immortal Astral…" Before Wang Lin could finish his words, the group of Mosquito Beasts, led by Wang Lin's Mosquito King, suddenly buzzed with madness in their eyes. They struggled and flew out without regard for anything, heading straight for the opening in the ice layer and flying outside.

It seemed that outside, there was something they longed for immensely, causing them to speed away as if they were crazy. This sudden turn of events not only stunned Wang Lin but also clearly startled Xuan Luo.

In the pitch-black Void Realm, there were invisible Immortal Astral rules, but the group of Mosquito Beasts inside felt no discomfort at all; instead, they each showed astonishing changes.

Their bodies expanded rapidly, increasing in size. Loud thumping sounds continuously came from within their bodies, and even more dim light flashed rapidly. Watching them look so comfortable, it seemed that this was their true hometown!

But immediately after, a huge change occurred. For some reason, while the group of Mosquito Beasts were feeling comfortable, they each immediately let out painful hisses, and a large portion of them exploded amidst these hisses.

They turned into flesh and blood and dissipated. This change gave Wang Lin a great shock. Just as he was about to intervene to save them, he saw that the Mosquito Beasts that had not collapsed were rapidly expanding again. In an instant, there were hundreds as large as mountain peaks, but soon, they collapsed with a roar, and the remaining Mosquito Beasts continued to expand.

Especially Wang Lin's Mosquito King, its whole body was covered in blood, emitting a shrill hiss, as if it were resisting some kind of power, or as if it were undergoing Fusion!

Wang Lin had a deep emotional bond with this Mosquito King. At this moment, he did not hesitate and was about to take action, but he was stopped by a wave of Xuan Luo's large sleeve. Furthermore, seeing Wang Lin wanting to intervene, the Mosquito King struggled to fly further away, and the look it gave Wang Lin also revealed a sense of determination!

"Do not stop them. This group of your Vicious Beasts is quite extraordinary!!" Xuan Luo's eyes revealed a rare gleam as he stared at the Mosquito Beasts outside the opening, his voice extremely heavy.

"They are adapting to the Void Realm filled with Immortal Astral Law… And looking at their appearance, it seems that a long, long time ago, their ancestors lived here. They are like returning to their hometown at this moment. Because they did not grow up here, but their Souls have a sense for this place, there is a contradiction between body and Soul, which is why there is death!"

"It is like if a fish has adapted to life out of water, once it returns to the water, it might drown and die! Do not stop them; this is a crucial transformation for them!" Xuan Luo stared at the group of Mosquito Beasts, his eyes filled with thought.

Just as Xuan Luo was speaking, more than half of this group of Mosquito Beasts had already died. Now, there were fewer than one hundred left, but each of these one hundred Mosquito Beasts was of an astonishing size. Their bodies were expanding madly, and their expressions, while in pain, revealed a sense of madness.

Despite countless deaths, not a single Mosquito Beast chose to retreat at this moment. Their consciousness was clear; they could feel that this opportunity was their most critical evolution. Once successful, they could be like returning to their ancestors!

The memories of their ancestors in their Souls were erupting during these repeated expansions!

Especially Wang Lin's Mosquito King, its body was the largest one, which was extremely astonishing. Its size, seen from afar, was tens of thousands of feet, almost the same size as the huge Mosquito Beast Wang Lin had seen in the Wind Immortal Realm back then.

A terrifying aura erupted from within its body.

Time passed. Half an incense stick later, just as Wang Lin was anxious, these nearly one hundred Mosquito Beasts collapsed again with a boom. This time, Wang Lin could no longer wait. He would rather the Mosquito King's evolution fail than see it die!

The Mosquito King was like family to Wang Lin, having accompanied him for over two thousand years! At the moment of that collapsing roar, Wang Lin flashed and rushed out of the ice layer, heading straight for the nearly one hundred collapsing Mosquito Beasts.

At the moment he approached, a heaven-shaking roar erupted wildly from the collapse, and at the same time, nine other roars rose up!

These sounds connected together, and even this Void Realm containing the Immortal Astral Law seemed to tremble!

Then, the Mosquito King flew out from the collapse. Its size looked like a Cultivation Planet, and its huge mouthparts were enough to make any living being's scalp tingle!

Behind it, nine golden, ten-thousand-foot Mosquito Beasts, each equivalent to the Mosquito King Wang Lin had seen at the crack in the Wind Immortal Realm, floated in the Void Realm. The fierce and Evil Qi they emitted made Xuan Luo's eyes reveal a towering light!

"It is rumored that when the Immortal Astral first opened, it was originally a wild land. Later, the God Realm appeared, opening heaven and earth, deriving all living things, and after that, stars filled the sky, but they were all below the continent!"

"After that, the Immortal Astral Law descended. The Law existed in the Void Realm, like seawater, and within it were nine types of beasts that were born at the same time as the Ancient Ancestor and the Immortal Ancestor. This… these Vicious Beasts can fuse with the Immortal Astral… Could it be… they…" Xuan Luo's eyes widened, revealing a look of disbelief!
