Chapter 1790: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, a bet!

At the exact moment Wang Lin stepped onto the stairs leading to the sixth floor, within Azure Sky Peak, Immortal Master Qing Niu, who had used Alchemy as an excuse, sat cross-legged in his Immortal Cave and suddenly opened his eyes.

"So he didn't find the Cultivation Technique he wanted on the first five floors… This sixth floor requires the willpower of Empty Tribulation Realm cultivation to enter. Wang Lin's cultivation hasn't reached Empty Tribulation Realm, but he possesses many hidden secrets, so perhaps he can enter the sixth floor… However, the sixth floor would also be his limit. As for the seventh and eighth floors, entering them would cause a heavenly change within the Great Soul Gate, and fewer than five people in the Great Soul Gate can enter them! As for the final ninth floor… besides me, no one can step inside… and the Ancient Ancestor once said, when deducing the changes in heaven and earth, that Wang Lin would only be able to enter the ninth floor three hundred years from now…" Immortal Master Qing Niu smiled slightly, closed his eyes, and said no more.

At the staircase leading from the fifth to the sixth floor, Wang Lin stood motionless. After a long time, his eyes suddenly gleamed, and he deeply exhaled.

"What powerful illusion techniques…" In that instant, he had experienced countless illusory worlds; a short period of less than half an incense stick felt like hundreds of years to him.

Now clear-headed, Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He lifted his left foot and stepped up again. The moment it landed on the step, his mind boomed once more, but Wang Lin's expression remained unchanged, his gaze sharp. As his left foot fell, his right foot rose, and he took seven steps in a row!

With each step he took, his mind would rumble loudly, and a powerful pressure would descend, as if trying to force him off the steps.

"Mere Restrictions cannot stop my steps!" The Ancient God Star Points on Wang Lin's brow and the Demon Star in his eyes suddenly appeared. A pounding sound emanated from within his body, and with his extremely powerful Physical Body strength, he forcibly resisted this pressure and took five more steps!

At this moment, he was less than eight steps away from the entrance to the sixth floor; one more step and he would enter the sixth floor!

"I have fought against Cultivators in the Empty Tribulation Realm, and this Restriction merely imitates the will of an Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivator. My Wang Lin's will was born in the Immortal Cave Realm, stepped onto this Immortal Astral Continent, and even has a Clone that perished with the Origin of the Immortal Ancestor and Ancient Ancestor in the void layer. This Restriction is nothing to worry about!" A startling willpower suddenly permeated Wang Lin's body. His expression was calm, and he lifted his foot, step by step, step by step… without any hesitation, he walked towards the sixth floor, neither fast nor slow. Wang Lin crossed seven steps, with only one left!

As Wang Lin lifted his foot to take that last step, his vision suddenly blurred. When it cleared, he found himself at the edge of a cliff; if his foot were to land, he would fall to the bottom of the cliff!

In the depths of the cliff, mournful roars echoed, and countless ferocious vengeful spirits swirled like smoke, rushing towards Wang Lin.

Watching the numerous vengeful spirits surging up from the bottom of the cliff, Wang Lin's eyes showed contemplation. He was not in a hurry; instead, he pondered, sensing the strangeness around him.

This Restriction's illusion seemed simple, as if one could cross it by simply having enough willpower and taking a strong step forward, disregarding the vengeful spirits and the cliff.

But Wang Lin felt something was amiss. At this moment, most of the vengeful spirits from beneath the cliff had already rushed out, less than a hundred zhang from Wang Lin's position, and in an instant, they were less than ten zhang away!

"This Restriction's illusion technique is quite clever…" Wang Lin's face revealed a cold smile. His body swayed, his steps unchanged, and he took a step forward, beyond the cliff. The moment this step landed, the vengeful spirits below showed excitement and eagerness in their expressions, as if they had been waiting for Wang Lin to do exactly this!

But the instant Wang Lin's foot landed, ripples swirled, and his body vanished without a trace in that step. The moment his figure disappeared, this illusory world immediately collapsed with a boom.

At the entrance to the sixth floor of the Soul-Hiding Pavilion, Wang Lin's body stepped out, not onto the last step, but directly past it, onto the sixth-floor pavilion beyond the steps!

The moment his foot landed, Wang Lin's mind boomed, and everything settled down.

At the same moment, in the Immortal Cave on Azure Sky Peak, Immortal Master Qing Niu showed no surprise, nodding slightly.

"As expected of someone deduced by the Ancient Ancestor to be close to him; succeeding in entering the sixth floor on the first try, without anyone telling him, is truly rare!"

"You actually came up here!" Inside this sixth floor, Yan Luan's eyes narrowed as she looked at Wang Lin.

"If you can come, why can't I?" Wang Lin's expression was calm as he walked forward. If he had directly taken that step without bypassing the last stair, all his efforts would have been in vain. The cleverness of this Restriction lay in the last stair: it could not be stepped on, only bypassed!

Throughout history, countless people in the Great Soul Gate attempting to enter this sixth floor had failed here. And in the Soul-Hiding Pavilion, once one failed, they could only stop, waiting for the next opportunity to enter the Soul-Hiding Pavilion before trying again.

"Hmph, someone must have told you in advance about the mysteries of these stairs leading to the sixth floor!" Yan Luan spoke calmly, believing she had guessed the answer.

Wang Lin's expression was as usual. He glanced at Yan Luan but did not speak, instead spreading his Divine Sense to observe the sixth floor. The number of soul bodies floating on this floor was much less than on the fifth floor, only over sixty.

However, each soul body emitted extremely powerful aura fluctuations, clearly containing various supreme Divine Abilities and Cultivation Techniques that only Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivators were qualified to obtain.

Wang Lin's action, in Yan Luan's eyes, clearly implied agreement with her previous guess, so she simply closed her eyes and ignored Wang Lin. After all, fighting was strictly forbidden within the Soul-Hiding Pavilion. Although she had been an Elder of the Great Soul Gate for many years, she dared not violate any rules here.

The Soul-Hiding Pavilion was merely a place to choose Cultivation Techniques; it was a Holy Land of the Great Soul Gate! It contained too many unimaginable secrets, a fact Yan Luan understood very well.

Wang Lin's Divine Sense swept over the sixty-plus soul bodies. Here, he found the Multiple Illusion Technique and the Soul Guiding Return Divine Ability that Yan Luan had previously used.

Especially the soul body currently above Yan Luan's head, that was precisely the Soul Guiding Return technique Wang Lin was looking for! The entire sixth floor was very quiet. Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then lifted his foot and walked forward.

His feet stepped on the wooden floor of the sixth level. The floorboards creaked occasionally when stepped upon, and in the quiet sixth level, this sound was quite jarring, causing Yan Luan to open her eyes, a hint of disgust flashing within them.

Wang Lin completely ignored Yan Luan's expression. Amidst the creaking sounds, he walked near the soul body containing the Multiple Illusion Technique, examining it carefully. Slowly, his brows furrowed.

Yan Luan noticed Wang Lin's expression and sneered. She naturally knew why Wang Lin was frowning; in fact, when she first came here and saw the Multiple Illusion Technique Dao Law, which was famous throughout the Great Soul Gate, she too had frowned.

"The Great Soul Gate's Multiple Illusion Technique, only the first five layers of Dao Law are here. If you have the ability, you can go to the seventh floor; it is said to have the latter two layers of illusion Dao Law. If you are even more capable, you can go to the eighth floor, or even the ninth floor. On the ninth floor, there is the complete ancient soul body of the Great Soul Gate's Multiple Illusion Technique!"

"Oh?" Wang Lin glanced at Yan Luan, his gaze sweeping over the soul body above her head.

"This Soul Guiding Return technique isn't complete either. Could it also be on the seventh floor or above?"

"Of course, everything in the Great Soul Gate is about strength. If you have the strength, you can naturally obtain the complete version. The entrance to the seventh floor is right there; do you dare to go up and try?" Yan Luan sneered, raising her jade hand and pointing to a spot not far away.

The location she pointed to had an ancient staircase leading to the seventh floor of the Soul-Hiding Pavilion. This Soul-Hiding Pavilion was very peculiar, without any dust-avoiding Restrictions. As such, the staircase was covered in dust, making it seem as if no one had stepped on it for a long time.

Only by getting closer could one see that the staircase was not entirely devoid of footprints; they were just too faint and had been covered by new dust.

"Can you go up?" Yan Luan looked at Wang Lin, a hint of disdain in her smile.

Wang Lin did not speak. He looked at the staircase, his brows slightly furrowed. The seventh floor, he feared, could only be traversed by someone with willpower equivalent to the Middle Stage of the Empty Tribulation Realm. For Wang Lin, it would be quite difficult.

Not to mention the eighth floor, and the final ninth floor.

"If you don't have the ability to go up, then don't be so picky. The Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities here alone are enough for your entire life." Yan Luan concluded that Wang Lin was not qualified to go up. Although her words were not overly sharp, the underlying meaning was dismissive.

Hearing Yan Luan's words, Wang Lin suddenly smiled. He turned to look at Yan Luan. This exquisitely beautiful young woman, despite carrying resentment at this moment, had not lost her charm; instead, her beauty seemed even more captivating.

However, such superficial beauty, in Wang Lin's eyes, was no different from white bones.

"How about we make a bet? If I go up to the seventh floor, what will you wager?" Wang Lin looked at Yan Luan and slowly spoke.

His words echoed on the sixth floor, reaching Yan Luan's ears and causing her expression to suddenly freeze. She glanced at the staircase leading to the seventh floor, pondering internally.

"How much truth is there in Wang Lin's words… Hmph, only a handful of people in the Great Soul Gate can enter this seventh floor. I've tried myself, but I couldn't even get past seven steps. Even if this person's cultivation is somewhat mysterious, I've fought him twice. If I can't go up, he definitely can't!

His words are just a way for him to save face. If I don't agree, he can easily avoid this topic, and I won't be able to provoke him further with it…"

"If you can step onto the seventh floor, I will use this item as a wager!" After Yan Luan figured it out, her eyes flashed, and with a wave of her right hand, a blue umbrella appeared before her.

"And you, if you can't step onto the seventh floor, what will you use as a wager?" Yan Luan stared at Wang Lin, her words turning cold.
