Chapter 1809: The Tenth Sun of Immortal Astral – Speculation!

Wang Lin had one unresolved matter. It was the many strange thoughts that arose in his mind after seeing that faint paper crane. Whether it was Green Devil Continent or Tianniu Continent, both belonged to the Immortal Clan.

The Sects of these two continents might have engaged in some battles, but such a grand and spectacular event, directly refining the Pill Sea, forcefully blasting open the barrier gate, and invading the opposing continent, inevitably led Wang Lin to other speculations.

Such an event could no longer be considered a private grudge between Sects; it was equivalent to a war!

“Interesting… I hope my speculation doesn't come true. Otherwise, the more people die, the less sense of presence I will have in this Immortal Clan.

If it's truly just for the purpose I'm guessing, all of this is chilling! Whether it's Green Devil Continent or Tianniu Continent, perhaps…” Wang Lin fell silent on the Mosquito Beast's back. He thought a lot, recalling the three gifts left for him in the Great Soul Gate, and remembering what Immortal Master Qing Niu said about the Great Soul Gate's Old Ancestor having calculated his arrival.

Within this lies a huge purpose, a purpose extremely important to the Great Soul Gate and to Green Devil Continent!

Therefore, after repeated small-scale battles between Green Devil Continent and Tianniu Continent, this time they launched a massive operation, refining the Pill Sea to blast open the continent and invade Tianniu in one fell swoop!

Therefore, the Great Soul Gate migrated to Tianniu Continent many years ago, and that Old Ancestor calculated the heavens and deduced the changes of all things, just for this long-planned secret!

Wang Lin fell silent, extending his palm. A small figure immediately appeared in his palm. He gazed at the small figure, and after a long time, he did not proceed to deduce the changes of heaven and earth. Instead, he clenched his fist and put it away.

“What good would knowing in advance do? And with my Daoist Magic, I wouldn't be able to deduce it anyway. Among the three gifts the Great Soul Gate's Old Ancestor left me, one is for deducing changes. Perhaps he left this gift precisely because he calculated that I would have suspicions, and thus, to tell me the answer.” Wang Lin smiled slightly. He didn't use that gift. For this matter, he didn't need to deduce; from some clues, he already had some guesses. What he needed to do now was slowly verify these guesses, eliminate some, and leave the one true answer!

Wang Lin was skilled at such things. Alternatively, he could ignore the chaos here and leave early.

Ten days later, Wang Lin's figure appeared outside the Great Soul Gate's mountain gate. The moment he appeared, several streaks of light whistled over, and Wang Lin felt that the entire Great Soul Gate seemed to be in a haze, enveloped by distortion.

Faintly, within the distortion of this heaven and earth, waves of killing intent emanated, causing his pupils to contract. This killing intent was not directed at him, but was part of the Great Soul Gate's protective Formation operating.

Enveloped by this distortion, the details inside the gate were unclear, but Wang Lin vaguely felt that the Great Soul Gate seemed to be in a state of solemnity, like a volcano about to erupt, somewhat suppressed.

This was just a feeling that surfaced in Wang Lin's mind after a quick glance; perhaps it was real, perhaps it was his illusion. The several streaks of light whistled closer, and within them, caution and killing intent were similarly contained.

However, this killing intent gradually dissipated after they clearly saw Wang Lin's appearance, but the caution remained. The several streaks of light transformed into seven people, standing before Wang Lin.

These seven people included two Great Soul Gate Elders, and the other five were Disciples of the Sect.

“Elder Wang, forgive us for the offense!” One of the Elders had met Wang Lin once before, having observed his battle with Yan Luan.

“Green Devil Continent has blasted open our Tianniu Continent's barrier. The Old Ancestor has decreed that all who return from outside, regardless of whether they are Elders or Disciples, or what their status, must undergo strict inspection before being allowed to enter the Sect.” The Elder cupped his fists and slowly spoke.

The other Elder also cupped his fists towards Wang Lin. Ever since they saw Wang Lin consecutively enter the seventh and eighth floors of the Soul Storage Pavilion, very few in the entire Great Soul Gate were willing to offend Wang Lin.

The five Disciples beside them also respectfully bowed their heads, occasionally glancing at Wang Lin from the corner of their eyes. This was their first time seeing Wang Lin's true form.

“It's fine. Given the current war, this is only reasonable.” Wang Lin smiled and nodded upon hearing this, not minding.

Seeing Wang Lin's smile, the two Elders breathed a sigh of relief. If not absolutely necessary, they truly didn't want to antagonize Wang Lin. It would be truly unwarranted to have an unpleasant dispute due to the Sect's orders.

Now seeing Wang Lin so amiable, both of them also smiled, their desire to build a connection growing stronger.

“Elder Wang, please present your Token, then imprint your Divine Sense on it to verify your Primordial Spirit, and drip a drop of fresh blood to verify your Physical Body.” One of the two Elders cupped his fists and spoke.

Wang Lin nodded, raised his right hand and grabbed at the Void Realm, and immediately the identity Token he had used when he entered the Soul Storage Pavilion appeared in his hand. In front of the two, he left his Divine Sense on it, then pricked his fingertip, letting a drop of fresh blood fall onto it. He then waved it forward, and the Token flew directly towards the two Elders.

One of them took it, and with his left hand forming Hand Seals, he pointed backward. Immediately, the Great Soul Gate's protective Formation roared and shook, forming a supreme pressure that enveloped Wang Lin, instantly reaching his body and sweeping through it.

Wang Lin's mind trembled. He clearly felt that this Formation's pressure was extremely strange. Its main purpose was to clear any excess Primordial Spirit and Divine Sense from Wang Lin's body, and even as it enveloped his body, it vaguely judged the closeness between his Physical Body and Primordial Spirit.

Through these, it determined his identity. At the same time, after this pressure swept through Wang Lin's body, it enveloped the identity Token as well. After this double verification, it slowly dissipated.

Only then did the expressions of the two Elders completely relax. They returned the identity Token to Wang Lin, and one of them smiled, “Elder Wang, please don't be offended. You can now return to the Sect through the Formation. We have duties to attend to and must return to our posts, so we cannot accompany you. We hope Elder Wang will be understanding.”

In Wang Lin's character, if others were polite to him, he would naturally reciprocate. Moreover, in his Dream Dao in the Immortal Cave Realm, he had once been a great Confucian scholar, so he naturally possessed a unique temperament. With a slight smile, he cupped his fists towards the two. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly asked,

“Has something happened in the Sect recently…?”

The two Elders exchanged glances, and one of them spoke in a low voice: “Seven days ago, a Green Devil Continent Cultivator attempted to infiltrate the Great Soul Gate and was discovered and killed by Elder Xu Dongde!

The Old Ancestor was enraged by this, which is why…” At this point, the Elder gave a bitter smile, cupped his fists, and left.

Wang Lin fell silent, his body flickered into a streak of light, flying into the Great Soul Gate. As he entered the Sect, the oppressive feeling he had felt outside grew even stronger.

Within the entire Great Soul Gate, streaks of light permeated the air. Disciples flew rapidly across the heavens and earth, shuttling between the various vast mountain Peaks of the Sect. Large Artifact Refining Materials, perhaps because they could not be stored in Storage Space, were being manually transported by many Cultivators to various mountain Peaks.

There were also numerous Disciples on the several large medicinal herb mountains of the Sect, gathering medicinal herbs and sending them to several designated Elders specialized in Alchemy, who were performing Alchemy on a large scale.

From many mountain Peaks, waves of cultivation fluctuations emanated, indicating that most of the Elders were currently in secluded cultivation, attempting to maintain their Peak state at all times, in order to carry out the various tasks within the Sect.

All the mountain Peaks of the Great Soul Gate, except for Wang Lin's Flame Mountain, were mostly like this. Only the Flame Mountain was utterly peaceful, without a single sound.

As his gaze swept across, Wang Lin saw Fan Shanmeng sitting cross-legged in her Immortal Cave on his mountain Peak, unmoving.

Wang Lin pondered for a moment, flicked his large sleeve, and instead of returning to his own mountain Peak, he walked directly towards Azure Heaven Peak, where Old Ancestor Qing Niu resided, deep within the Sect.

“Greetings, Elder Wang!”

“Disciple of Daoliao Peak greets Elder Wang!”

“Disciple of Cantian Peak greets Elder Wang!”

Along the way, any Sect Disciples who saw Wang Lin immediately stopped, greeted him, and then continued with their respective tasks.

Wang Lin did not stop, he nodded and transformed into a whistling streak of light, speeding away. His cultivation was extraordinary, and his full-speed flight immediately attracted the attention of Elders from nearby mountain Peaks within the Great Soul Gate. But after a sweep of Divine Sense, seeing that it was Wang Lin, they all dispersed.

Not long after, Azure Heaven Peak was visible in the distance ahead of Wang Lin. Wang Lin instantly teleported directly outside Azure Heaven Peak, cupped his fists towards the mountain Peak, and his calm voice echoed.

“Wang Lin requests an audience with Immortal Master Qing Niu!”

Azure Heaven Peak was somewhat different from what Wang Lin had seen before; it was now enveloped by a thin, azure mist. After Wang Lin's words echoed, the mist churned, immediately revealing an opening.

“Come in!” Immortal Master Qing Niu's voice faintly emerged.

Wang Lin did not hesitate, stepping directly towards the opening. After he entered, the opening was swallowed by the mist. Wang Lin's body flickered, and following the mist, he arrived at the summit of Azure Heaven Peak. There, he saw Immortal Master Qing Niu sitting cross-legged on a stone, looking into the distance. In his palm was a rather solidified small figure, like a Primordial Spirit, kowtowing to Immortal Master Qing Niu.

Wang Lin stood beside him, watching the small figure in Immortal Master Qing Niu's palm, remaining silent.

A moment later, the small figure kowtowed six times consecutively, showing signs of fatigue, and disappeared without a trace as Immortal Master Qing Niu clenched his fist.

“I received your Jade Slip. For this matter, you shall be credited with a great merit!” Immortal Master Qing Niu slowly opened his closed eyes, a smile on his face, and looked at Wang Lin.

“Green Devil Continent has engaged in small-scale battles with my Tianniu Continent multiple times, but this is the first time they've made such a grand move, actually finding a way to refine the Pill Sea… This matter likely won't end anytime soon. That Green Devil Continent has three major Sects, and three strongest old fellows whose cultivation is comparable to mine, but it doesn't matter. I alone can fight two of them!” Immortal Master Qing Niu's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and he proactively spoke these words, clearly indicating that the results of his previous deduction using the Soul Derivation Dao technique were not very optimistic.

Wang Lin's expression was normal. He sat cross-legged opposite Immortal Master Qing Niu, looked at him, and suddenly spoke.

“I want the Multiple Illusion Technique from the ninth floor of the Soul Storage Pavilion!”
