Chapter 1777: The Tenth Sun of Immortal Astral, Great Soul Gate (First Update)

The Great Soul Gate was situated amidst a mountain range, with peaks that soared into the clouds, emanating a crimson glow. From a distance, it looked like a burning mountain of flames.

Moreover, on the periphery of this mountain, ripples echoed through the heavens and earth. Within these ripples, there seemed to be a power originating from the Soul, vaguely manifesting countless wailing Souls that let out silent roars.

This was the Great Soul Gate, one of the two strongest Sects in Tianniu Continent!

On the Heavenly Mountain, blue snow fell, landing on Wang Lin's body, hair, and the ground. He stood in the snow, gazing into the distance, unmoving.

From his vantage point, the mountain peaks of the Great Soul Gate didn't seem very far, but in reality, even flying would often take several days. The reason for this illusion was not only the height of the Heavenly Mountain but also the ripples emanating from the Great Soul Gate, which created a visual distortion.

After a long while, Wang Lin closed his eyes, and his Divine Sense slowly spread out. Gradually, he vaguely sensed that beneath the mountain range of the Great Soul Gate, there was a main Earth Fire Vein that ran through the entire Tianniu Continent. This main vein branched out into countless sub-veins, spreading deep beneath the entire Tianniu Continent.

Furthermore, on this main vein, there existed an astonishing will of fire, a will that tolerated no invasion. Only at the location of the Great Soul Gate's mountain peaks was this will greatly weakened.

Moreover, beneath the Great Soul Gate's mountain peaks, this main vein emerged from deep underground to the surface. Rather than saying the mountain peaks were the Great Soul Gate's mountain gate, it was more accurate to say that it was formed by the main Earth Fire Vein exposed above ground.

All of this was not caused by artificial Divine Abilities but was a natural evolution of the heavens and earth's creation. It could only be said that the location chosen by the Great Soul Gate for its mountain gate was very ingenious.

Furthermore, within the Great Soul Gate, a vast vitality permeated. Wang Lin's rough scan from outside revealed that within these boundless mountains, there were no less than one hundred thousand Cultivators.

One hundred thousand Cultivators was a large number, but hidden within the mountains, they were nowhere to be seen.

Moreover, within those mountains, there existed extremely powerful Origin auras, representing numerous mighty beings who had stepped into the Third Step.

"The Great Soul Gate of the Immortal Astral Continent… it is indeed very strong. The power of this Sect alone could sweep across the Immortal Cave Realm." Wang Lin's expression was calm, and his eyes showed contemplation.

If it weren't for the sake of his Fire Origin True Body, Wang Lin would not provoke such a behemoth. But now, the main Earth Fire Vein beneath the Great Soul Gate was extremely important to Wang Lin; even if it meant pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth, Wang Lin would give it a try.

During this period, he had already absorbed many sub-veins, and his internal Fire Origin had gradually reached a certain level of saturation, no longer able to affect his True Body.

He had been psychologically prepared for this, as this so-called great supplement was actually similar to a Cultivator's Medicinal Pills. Once too many Medicinal Pills of the same quality were consumed, their effects would naturally diminish, until they had no effect at all.

Unless one could consume Medicinal Pills of higher quality, such as the will of this main Earth Fire Vein!

With slightly closed eyes, Wang Lin's body swayed forward. Silently, without any long rainbow appearing, his body floated down from the Heavenly Mountain, heading straight for the Great Soul Gate.

As he moved, his figure flickered, each flicker covering an immense distance, as if teleporting, rapidly approaching.

Several hours later, Wang Lin had covered a distance that would typically take Cultivators several days. He arrived outside the mountain range where the Great Soul Gate was located. Here, the Soul fluctuations in the heavens and earth became increasingly dense, vaguely manifesting countless repulsive forces, preventing Wang Lin from entering.

"It's a pity the Ghost Face Sail is in my storage space and cannot be taken out, otherwise, perhaps I could use it to enter the Great Soul Gate." Wang Lin paused, looking at the nearby mountains and the crimson peaks within them, letting out a soft sigh.

His aura was completely concealed here, not revealing a single trace. He looked like an ordinary Mortal. After sitting down cross-legged, Wang Lin closed his eyes and waited.

The moment he sat down cross-legged, his body slowly blurred, eventually transforming into a wisp of smoke, flickering uncertainly and lingering nearby.

A Sect like the Great Soul Gate had extremely powerful Restrictions and Formations at its mountain gate. Disciples not of the Sect would likely be immediately detected by the Great Soul Gate the moment they touched it.

To enter, one would have to wait for a Disciple from within to exit, causing a fluctuation in the mountain gate Formation.

If it were an ordinary Cultivator, they might choose to merge into the body of an exiting Great Soul Gate Disciple to enter. However, this method had some drawbacks; although it seemed good, the Great Soul Gate's name contained the character for 'Soul,' indicating a profound understanding of the Soul.

Otherwise, it would not be possible for such a multi-layered illusion Divine Ability to exist.

Thus, merging into a Disciple's body to enter the Formation might lead to Wang Lin being discovered by the Formation before he could even discern any clues about it.

Such an attempt could only be made once, and Wang Lin was unwilling to risk wasting it. He preferred to trust his cultivation and understanding of Restrictions.

All he needed was the fleeting moment when the great Formation fluctuated.

Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, the Formation outside the Great Soul Gate's mountain range saw three hundred and fourteen Disciples enter and exit, causing the Formation to fluctuate three hundred and fourteen times.

Each time it fluctuated, the wisp of smoke that Wang Lin had transformed into did not act rashly. Instead, he continuously observed, using his understanding of Restrictions to seek out the Formation's flaws.

After all, Wang Lin possessed an extremely rare Origin of Restriction.

He was not anxious; he had enough time and patience, calmly continuing his observations. Another seven days passed.

During those seven days, with nearly a thousand instances of Disciples entering and exiting, and nearly a thousand fluctuations of the Formation's ripples, Wang Lin gradually noticed a difference: the Formation's fluctuations varied according to the Disciple's identity.

Moreover, within these ten days, Wang Lin saw over a thousand Great Soul Gate Disciples of varying cultivation levels, and from them, he also observed some unique changes characteristic of Great Soul Gate Cultivators.

For example, their Souls; if each Great Soul Gate Disciple's Soul were compared to fire, they were all extremely vigorous and would not easily fluctuate.

After ten days, Wang Lin still did not make a move. He continued to observe until another ten days passed. On this day, an exiting Great Soul Gate Disciple approached the mountain range Formation, and as his body merged into it, causing the Formation to ripple, the wisp of smoke that Wang Lin had transformed into suddenly shot out.

The wisp of smoke was formless and instantly appeared beside the Disciple who was entering the Formation. At this moment, as the Formation's ripples echoed and the Disciple's body fully merged, the wisp of smoke that Wang Lin had transformed into abruptly burrowed in.

The instant he burrowed in, Wang Lin's Origin of Restriction spread, counteracting the Formation while rapidly simulating all the Disciples he had observed over the past twenty days, changing hundreds of times in just a few breaths.

By the time the Disciple's figure emerged from the Formation, flying towards the mountains without any detection, the wisp of smoke that Wang Lin had transformed into had also entered the Formation.

His entry did not cause the Formation to change in the slightest; or rather, all changes were concealed within the ripples created by the Disciple's prior entry.

Silently, the wisp of smoke that Wang Lin had transformed into slowly drifted through these mountains. Along the way, he saw many Great Soul Gate Disciples, all coming and going in a hurry, none discovering Wang Lin's presence.

Wang Lin was very cautious, occasionally stopping his drift. He slowly approached the crimson mountain peaks deep within the range. The closer he got, the clearer the aura of the main Earth Fire Vein entered Wang Lin's mind.

Just as he was still a short distance from the crimson mountain peaks, three long rainbows whistled from the distant sky. Within those rainbows were three people, two women and one man. These three headed straight for the crimson mountain peaks.

Wang Lin had no time to check; he had seen too many such long rainbows along the way.

But just then, suddenly, a Divine Sense surged from within the crimson mountain peaks, rapidly spreading downwards, instantly covering more than half the area. This Divine Sense was extremely powerful, far from what ordinary Cultivators could possess. It was emanated by a true Empty Tribulation Realm Early Stage expert who had passed nine Mysterious Tribulations.

Moreover, that Divine Sense was slightly feminine; this would be difficult to detect without a certain level of cultivation. The moment Wang Lin felt that Divine Sense, he immediately judged that it was a female Cultivator!

The Divine Sense's扩散 was too sudden; if Wang Lin hadn't been constantly cautious, he might have been discovered in a panic. Almost the instant the Divine Sense swept over, the wisp of smoke that Wang Lin had transformed into abruptly rolled back.

Almost at the same speed as the Divine Sense, one expanded while the other retreated, narrowly avoiding it.

However, this Divine Sense spread out in a fan shape, sweeping outwards with the crimson mountain peaks as its center. Even if Wang Lin could avoid it for a moment, it wouldn't be long before he was detected.

And the moment this Divine Sense swept across, the Great Soul Gate's mountain range Formation immediately rippled and locked down. This sudden change greatly astonished Wang Lin.

"Could I have been discovered!" Wang Lin had no time to think. At this moment, the Divine Sense whistled over, about to envelop him. In this instant, Wang Lin hastily retreated, seemingly with nowhere to hide. Without hesitation, he rushed directly towards the three long rainbows flying from afar in the sky,

At the fastest speed, he directly rushed into the body of the man among the three. The reason he entered the man's body had nothing to do with cultivation, but because the Divine Sense was emanated by a female Cultivator. According to Wang Lin's judgment, women who had reached this level of cultivation were mostly arrogant and would not search a male Disciple's body too carefully, as searching it would be no different from seeing them naked.

Almost the instant the wisp of smoke that Wang Lin had transformed into entered the man's body, the Divine Sense whistled over and swept past the man's body.

It did not linger, but swept past and spread into the distance, covering all the mountains before slowly dissipating. The mountain range Formation, after the Divine Sense dissipated, also unlocked and began operating again.

"It wasn't that I was detected, but that the Great Soul Gate has a habit of powerful beings periodically releasing Divine Sense for defense…" Wang Lin condensed into a vortex within the man's body, enveloped by his Restrictions.

While Wang Lin was deep in thought, he heard a scolding voice from a female Cultivator beside the man, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and follow! If we delay delivering the Soul Dissolution Fruit to the Senior Sisters, we won't be able to bear the responsibility."
