Chapter 1796: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, The Eighth Origin! (Third Update)

Inside Wang Lin's Storage Space, there were too many items he wanted to take out, but he only had one chance to access the Storage Space without damage right now. Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he already had a decision in mind.

What was most useful to him right now was a Puppet whose cultivation was infinitely close to the Early Stage of the Empty Tribulation Realm!

The Yisi Puppet, obtained from the depths of the Ancient Burial Ground, surfaced in Wang Lin's mind. Without hesitation or further delay, the instant he grabbed the Spatial Stone, his Divine Sense surged into it, and he abruptly opened his Storage Space within the Spatial Stone!

The moment his Storage Space was opened, the Spatial Stone immediately trembled, and a space within it, which had replaced Wang Lin's Storage Space, violently collapsed.

The instant it collapsed, a shocking Evil Qi suddenly rushed out from Wang Lin's Storage Space. With a flash of dark light, a terrifying figure appeared beside Wang Lin, its four limbs on the ground, its tongue scarlet and hanging long.

It was precisely the Yisi Puppet, which looked thin and withered like a monkey!

Bursts of roaring and fierce, malevolent aura emanated from the Yisi. It stared fixedly at Wang Lin with scarlet eyes after appearing. Amidst its roar, it slowly seemed to recall Wang Lin's identity, and the fierce light in its eyes slightly dissipated.

"Yisi, act as my Protector!" Wang Lin coldly eyed the brutal, ferocious figure infused with Evil Qi and slowly spoke.

Roar!

The fierce light in Yisi's eyes intensified again. It abruptly turned, staring toward the Immortal Cave's entrance, and began to growl. Its scarlet tongue dragged and twisted on the ground, a shocking sight. At this moment, if anyone were to step into this Immortal Cave, they would immediately be subjected to the Yisi's frenzied attack.

Wang Lin still felt uneasy. He lowered his head and glanced at the Mosquito King Totem, which was like ink on his arm. The instant he looked, the eyes of the ink-like Mosquito Beast Totem suddenly revealed a sliver of cold light, seemingly meeting Wang Lin's gaze.

The Mosquito Beast was the final layer of protection Wang Lin had prepared for himself during his seclusion.

Only then did Wang Lin feel slightly relieved. He sat cross-legged in the Immortal Cave, looking at the water droplet in his hand with excitement in his eyes. He took a deep breath and instantly pressed the water droplet into the center of his brow.

The moment the water droplet entered Wang Lin's glabella, the blood throughout his body instantly boiled. The drop of Water Origin Liquid hidden inside his body immediately underwent Fusion with the newly entered water droplet, resulting in astonishing changes.

During this change, Wang Lin's body rapidly withered at a visible speed, as if all the moisture and blood inside him had instantly condensed together.

His body withered rapidly. In the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Wang Lin seemed to have turned into a skeletal frame. His hair was dry, and his skin was covered in wrinkles, resembling a dried corpse that had died many years ago!

Inside his body, the condensed Water Origin droplet continuously shone with crystal light after absorbing all of Wang Lin's moisture and blood, yet it was hidden within his body and could not be seen from the outside.

The condensation and absorption of the Water Origin looked extremely terrifying because water naturally existed within a Cultivator's body, and even blood was partly water.

The moment the Water Origin condensed, the body was naturally affected by the pull, leading to this scene resembling a dried corpse.

Time slowly flowed, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye. During these seven days, Wang Lin sat cross-legged without moving, as if truly dead. If it weren't for the fact that his aura was not dissipating but instead growing stronger, anyone would have likely thought something had gone wrong with Wang Lin.

Two days later, Wang Lin, inside the Immortal Cave, suddenly trembled. He abruptly opened his eyes, which were completely murky, as if even the moisture within them had vanished.

"Disperse, Water Origin…" A hoarse voice came from Wang Lin's mouth. He raised his dry, skeletal hands and suddenly performed Hand Seals. The moment he performed the Hand Seals, the Water Origin droplet inside Wang Lin's withered body seemed to reach its condensation limit and violently erupted. As Wang Lin's body trembled, he rapidly recovered, as if rejuvenated.

This speed of recovery was instantaneous. At this moment, Wang Lin was no longer withered; his skin was crystal clear, and strange light seemed to flow both inside and outside his body.

This state lasted for nine days. During these nine days, the fused water droplet inside Wang Lin's body spun rapidly, and its size was noticeably smaller than it had been nine days prior.

It seemed that these two nine-day periods, one of condensation and one of dispersion, constituted a cycle. Now that the first cycle was complete, the second cycle immediately began!

On the nineteenth day of Wang Lin's seclusion, his body once again underwent a strange change, rapidly withering and instantly turning into a dried corpse. The water droplet inside him continuously flashed with light.

Repeating this process, Wang Lin's body quickly went through seven cycles of withering and saturation. After these seven cycles, the water droplet inside his body was less than twenty percent of its original size.

Several months had already passed!

During months of seclusion, Wang Lin ignored everything happening outside the Great Soul Gate, immersing himself wholeheartedly in the process of absorbing the Water Origin. He understood that if this absorption allowed the Water Origin to reach Major Achievement Perfection, his cultivation would instantly increase!

Furthermore, this Water Origin was a type of Solid Origin, and the same issue existed within Wang Lin's body as with the Fire Origin: the Fusion and assimilation of will.

However, Wang Lin's Water Origin was previously only at Minor Achievement, so when fusing with the Water Origin of the Immortal Astral Continent, the repulsive force would not be too great and could be endured by him.

Time flowed again, and another eighteen days passed in a flash. By now, Wang Lin's body had gone through eight cycles of withering and saturation. After these eight cycles, the Water Origin droplet inside Wang Lin was extremely sparse, to the point where it could barely be seen without careful inspection.

During Wang Lin's continuous seclusion, his Origin True Body acted as a strict Protector outside the Immortal Cave, and inside the Immortal Cave, the Yisi Puppet existed to guard everything.

The Yisi Puppet, having gone without fresh blood for a long time, was now irritable, constantly growling inside the Immortal Cave. Occasionally, it would turn its head to look at Wang Lin, its eyes filled with ferocity. However, in its consciousness, Wang Lin was its Master. Although this notion was not deeply ingrained, it still had some effect, causing it to repeatedly suppress the urge to devour blood.

Furthermore, and most importantly, the Yisi Puppet felt that its current Master seemed somewhat different from before. It sensed a terrifying aura on him, an aura that was faint but had undergone Fusion with the soul, making them inseparable.

This was precisely why Wang Lin asked it to act as Protector. This creature was summoned by Wang Lin. Although its malevolence reached the heavens, Wang Lin's will could still play a role. As long as the duration wasn't too long, there would be no issues, and as Wang Lin's cultivation increased, this will would grow stronger, sufficient to control this ferocious Puppet!

Not to mention the wisp of aura contained within his Divine Sense due to his Clone, which outsiders would find difficult to detect, but the Yisi could perceive it.

Fan Shanmeng was also on this mountain peak. She had been observing Wang Lin's place of seclusion for a long time. Now that several months had passed, the idea she harbored grew increasingly intense, causing her to walk out of her Immortal Cave and slowly head toward the summit of the mountain peak.

Fan Shanmeng stopped a hundred zhang away, looking at Wang Lin's Origin True Body, which was composed of fire, outside the Immortal Cave. A look of apprehension appeared in her eyes.

She wasn't bold enough to attack Wang Lin while he was in seclusion. Instead, she intended to observe him closely, trying to find clues so she could fulfill her Master's command to slowly curse Wang Lin to death.

But the moment she paused a hundred zhang away, Wang Lin's Origin True Body outside the Immortal Cave suddenly opened its eyes and glanced at Fan Shanmeng.

Being stared at by the Origin True Body was like being personally watched by Wang Lin. Fan Shanmeng's heart trembled, and she quickly lowered her head, about to retreat. But just then, a startling roar suddenly echoed from the Immortal Cave. A mass of dense black mist violently rushed out of the Immortal Cave and materialized between heaven and earth. Within the mist, a pair of cruel eyes were revealed, and a scarlet tongue hung outside the mist, twisting and swaying, a shocking sight.

Within this mist was precisely the Yisi. Having been deprived of fresh blood for several months, it was irritable. As soon as it sensed someone approaching the Immortal Cave, it immediately roared and rushed out. Seeing Fan Shanmeng in mid-air, the Yisi's eyes showed bloodlust and cruelty. As it roared toward the sky, it charged straight at Fan Shanmeng.

Fan Shanmeng's cultivation had reached the Seventh Stage of the Mysterious Tribulation, which was quite impressive. However, under the Yisi's gaze, her mind trembled. Coupled with her apprehension toward Wang Lin, Fan Shanmeng retreated immediately without hesitation.

But her speed was clearly inferior to the Yisi's. The Puppet roared and rushed straight toward Fan Shanmeng, instantly closing the distance. Its massive tongue lashed out, wrapping toward Fan Shanmeng, and the black mist enveloped her, blocking Fan Shanmeng's retreat path.

Rumbles sounded continuously, and bursts of loud noise echoed throughout heaven and earth. Most people within the Great Soul Gate had received a sealed order from the Old Ancestor, forbidding them from approaching the mountain peak where Wang Lin was located. At this moment, they all noticed the anomaly and watched intently.

Yan Luan was sitting cross-legged in meditation. She suddenly opened her eyes, her expression changing. She had almost forgotten that she had sent Fan Shanmeng to curse Wang Lin to death. At this moment, a hint of apprehension appeared in her eyes, and her body flashed, heading straight for the mountain peak where Wang Lin was located.

Inside Wang Lin's Immortal Cave, Wang Lin, sitting cross-legged, was undergoing the ninth and final cycle. If this cycle succeeded, his Water Origin would reach Perfection, and his cultivation could increase.

However, the Water Origin droplet inside his body was completely consumed the instant his body rapidly withered like a dried corpse, leaving nothing behind. Wang Lin abruptly opened his eyes, a glint of light appearing within them.

"The Water Origin is insufficient to complete the final cycle… I still lack some!! I need a large amount of water!!" Wang Lin looked quite terrifying at the moment, his withered body resembling a skeleton, a truly shocking sight.

Amidst his silence, he suddenly looked up and detected the rumbling outside the Immortal Cave and the approaching aura of Yan Luan.

"Yisi, return!" The moment Yan Luan approached the mist where Fan Shanmeng and the Yisi were clashing, Wang Lin's voice suddenly erupted from inside the Immortal Cave. At the same time, Wang Lin's figure flashed, and he walked directly out of the Immortal Cave, appearing between heaven and earth.

His withered body and terrifying appearance were immediately seen by Yan Luan, eliciting a cry of surprise.
