Chapter 1784: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, four characters!
Wang Lin's expression showed no surprise, nor the slightest movement, as if he had long known that the aged voice would come from behind him. The moment the voice appeared, Wang Lin turned around and looked back.
He saw a white-haired old man in a Daoist robe, sitting cross-legged on the snowy ground amidst the falling green snow of Mount Tian, looking at him.
The old man seemed to have been there for a long time, waiting for Wang Lin's arrival, as if he could have known in advance that Wang Lin would appear here after integrating with the Heaven-Earth Shift within the Main underground fire vein.
His gaze was clear, revealing endless wisdom, and as he looked at Wang Lin, he seemed to be able to see through Wang Lin's heart.
As he looked at Wang Lin, Wang Lin was also observing the old man. His pupils contracted imperceptibly, then quickly returned to normal. The old man, in his view, seemed to emanude a trace of Origin, which was clearly not his true body, but an Origin True Body!
This was the first time Wang Lin had seen another person's Origin True Body besides his own!
The identity of this old man was now obvious!
"Junior greets Immortal Master Qing Niu." Wang Lin's expression remained calm as he clasped his fists and spoke in a deep voice.
"Manifest your Origin True Body and let this Old Man see it." Immortal Master Qing Niu's Origin True Body looked at Wang Lin and slowly spoke.
Wang Lin raised an eyebrow, and a flash of fire appeared in his left eye. Immediately, a phantom appeared behind him. That phantom solidified in an instant, transforming into an Origin True Body, which, like Wang Lin, looked at Immortal Master Qing Niu's true body.
The moment these two Origin True Bodies met gazes, Immortal Master Qing Niu's Origin True Body suddenly stood up. At the same time, a terrifying aura emanated from that true body, enveloping the entire Mount Tian. Green snow rolled back, and strong winds howled.
"It is indeed an Origin True Body… You are the third person I have seen in my life, besides myself, who possesses a true body…"
Wang Lin remained silent, not speaking.
"Your name is Wang Lin, isn't it!" Immortal Master Qing Niu's Origin True Body suddenly said.
Wang Lin's expression remained calm, as if he wasn't surprised that the old man knew his name. Since Fan Shanmeng knew him, it wasn't strange for the Old Ancestor of the Great Soul Gate to know him either.
"Precisely, I am Wang!" Wang Lin replied calmly.
"One who emerged from the Immortal Cave Realm… truly not simple…" Immortal Master Qing Niu's Origin True Body sighed softly.
"Senior, with what kind of Origin was this Origin True Body condensed?" Wang Lin's eyes flashed as he asked.
Immortal Master Qing Niu's true body smiled slightly, not displeased by Wang Lin's question, but rather laughed: "This true body of mine was condensed with the Origin of Cold… it is cold, not water… do you understand?"
Wang Lin frowned, carefully observed the old man's true body for a long time, then slowly spoke.
"Cold is Qi, water is substance…"
Immortal Master Qing Niu's true body immediately smiled upon hearing this, looking at Wang Lin with undisguised admiration.
"From the moment you entered the Great Soul Gate's Formation, I knew. I watched you enter Mount Yanmai, watched you reminisce with Fan Shanlu, watched you absorb the Main underground fire vein… You condensed this fire Origin True Body in my Great Soul Gate, which means you have a destined connection with my Great Soul Gate! Since there is such a connection, there's no need to rush off. Wang Lin, how about becoming an Elder of my Great Soul Gate!"
Wang Lin's eyes flashed, but he did not speak.
"In the Immortal Astral Continent, unless you establish your own sect, you still need to form an alliance with a sect. This is the best way for you to grow and integrate into the Immortal Astral. You can disagree, but eventually, you will have to make a choice!
My Great Soul Gate is one of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates of Dongzhou. Become an Elder of my sect, and I will bestow upon you a mountain peak as your Immortal Cave! The Great Soul Gate will fully supply everything you need, and you can even learn any of my Great Soul Gate's Daoist Magic, provided you meet the conditions! How about it!" Immortal Master Qing Niu's true body looked at Wang Lin and slowly spoke.
Immortal Master Qing Niu's words were very charming. He absolutely avoided any threatening language, and even things like Wang Lin destroying the Main underground fire vein, fighting with the young woman on Yanmai Peak, and causing the Great Soul Gate's underground fire to burn, seemed not to bother him in the slightest.
But the less he mentioned these things, and the more indifferent he appeared, the more Wang Lin understood the invisible pressure involved. However, Wang Lin's expression remained normal, and his heart was calm. He had already made judgments about all possible events when he prepared to enter the Great Soul Gate to obtain the Main underground fire vein.
Naturally, this included precautions against Immortal Master Qing Niu. The moment the other party appeared, Wang Lin saw that their true self had not come, only a true body, and he already vaguely guessed their purpose.
Using a true body as temptation to sway Wang Lin's heart, all that was said before was merely a warm-up; the real methods had yet to be revealed.
Seeing Wang Lin still silent, Immortal Master Qing Niu's true body smiled slightly and spoke again.
"Also, I am the person who can help you the most, because we both have Origin True Bodies. I can tell you the secrets of the Origin True Body…"
Wang Lin was waiting for this very sentence. His gaze suddenly sharpened, but he remained silent, neither refusing nor agreeing, merely looking at Immortal Master Qing Niu's true body.
"I'll give you an incense stick's time to think!" Immortal Master Qing Niu's true body raised his right hand and waved it forward. Immediately, the surrounding azure snowflakes, which seemed to be condensed, gathered together and formed an azure snow incense stick in front of the old man. It burned without flame, slowly melting, no different from a real incense stick.
Time slowly passed, and before long, only half of the snow incense stick remained. Wang Lin suddenly spoke.
"How did you know that I would definitely appear here when I left!"
"My Great Soul Gate has a Divine Ability Daoist Magic called Soul Derivation Dao. With this technique, many things can be calculated… There are many capable people on the Immortal Astral Continent, and among them, there are various methods for deducing changes. In my Immortal Clan, Grand Imperial Advisor Daoxuan of the Imperial City is ranked first.
With his individual power, he can contend against the three Grand Imperial Advisors of the three imperial clans within the Ancient Kingdom in terms of deduction and calculation!
My Great Soul Gate's Soul Derivation Daoist Magic merely scratches the surface. Its focus is not on deducing others, but on changing oneself, making it difficult for others to calculate one's own fate.
If you wish to learn, I can impart it to you… Time is almost up, I am waiting for your decision." Immortal Master Qing Niu's true body spoke with a smile.
Wang Lin glanced at the dwindling snow incense stick, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly took a step backward. His Origin True Body behind him also took a step. A ripple shimmered beneath Wang Lin's feet, and his figure instantly vanished from Mount Tian.
His sudden action was not stopped by Immortal Master Qing Niu's true body, nor did its expression change in the slightest. It watched Wang Lin disappear and shook its head slightly.
"If, before the incense burns out, you are truly the person the ancestor spoke of when he migrated to Tianniu Continent and chose the location of the Main underground fire vein to build the Great Soul Gate, you will return, because here, I have the Divine Ability and information you need. But if you do not return, it means you are not, and since you are not, then…" He murmured, closing his eyes.
The snow incense stick was still small, slowly melting.
Far from Mount Tian on Tianniu Continent, on a mountain peak in a verdant forest, a journey of about a month for Wang Lin's cultivation, large distortions appeared in the sky. Wang Lin stepped out, standing in mid-air.
The mountain peaks here were sprawling and irregular, extending in a dense, boundless array, typical terrain of the Tianniu Continent.
"Soul Derivation Dao… whether this technique truly exists, I'll know with a try!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed as he scanned the surrounding world, detecting no abnormalities. Although there were many living beings nearby, none could threaten him.
The wind here was strong, howling through the mountain forests, making the leaves rustle beautifully.
He was about to turn and leave, but at that very instant, Wang Lin's body trembled. He seemed to vaguely see something and suddenly looked down at the scattered mountains below.
The ground was very ordinary, seemingly no different.
But Wang Lin's pupils suddenly contracted, and a feeling of his hair standing on end immediately emerged within his body. He looked at the ground, raised his right hand, and waved it downward. The strong wind howled, blowing the trees growing on the various mountain ranges on the ground. The leaves swayed, and in an instant, the entire mountain range and the swaying trees seemed to form a character!
This character was very simple, precisely the character "Wang" (王).
Silence. After a long while, Wang Lin's eyes shone with a strange light. His body flickered again, merging into the world and disappearing without a trace. When he reappeared, he was even further away, approaching the Azure Dragon Sect's territory. Wang Lin had been here before; it was where he had absorbed the first branch Dragon Soul and met Du Qing.
"I've never been to the place where the character 'Wang' formed. There are many ways to explain the appearance of a character, but now I've come to a place I've been to before. I want to see if a miracle can still occur!" Wang Lin's figure materialized from the sky, looking directly at the ground.
But with that glance, his body shook violently, his mind buzzed, and he stared intently at the ground.
The mountain ranges here, due to the wilting of the underground fire branch vein, had developed cracks, and those cracks had distinctly formed the character "Lin" (林)!
One had to look from high altitude to perceive the existence of this character "Lin." After a long look, Wang Lin closed his eyes. He could confirm that every crack on the ground here was formed at that time, not later carved by someone. In other words, all of this appeared naturally!
In silence, Wang Lin's body flickered again. This time, he didn't choose a target but shifted unconsciously. After disappearing, he materialized in the sky somewhere on Tianniu Continent, a location he himself did not know.
Wang Lin's Divine Sense spread out, but he no longer saw the ground forming any characters. Below him was a winding river. This riverbed was also very ordinary, not forming any characters.
He felt a slight sigh of relief inwardly, but soon, Wang Lin's expression tightened. He saw an ancient stone bridge ruin on the river below. This stone bridge exuded an ancient aura, having existed for an unknown period. Most of it had collapsed, with only parts near the bank remaining. There was also a stone tablet with blurred characters standing there, seemingly bearing the bridge's name.
With a flash, Wang Lin landed beside the stone tablet, and with one glance, his body shook violently!
"Return Bridge…" Wang Lin murmured.
Today's update is normal, and there will be three more explosive updates in the coming days!
