Chapter 1873: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral; Waiting for the Heavenly Venerate to arrive!
After devouring the Sect Master of the Dao Demon Sect, Wang Lin closed his eyes. A series of loud thumps resonated within his body, suppressing the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master's Primordial Spirit within him. After erasing its consciousness, he integrated it into the divine meridians of the Swift God Art. When he had free time, he could use the Primordial Spirits he had obtained to gradually increase the number of divine meridians.
A moment later, Wang Lin opened his eyes. With a flick of his sleeve, a thunderous roar erupted from the ground. The half-collapsed lake and the island were swept by a storm at Wang Lin's flick, turning into a complete ruin.
The Dao Demon Sect had collapsed!
The Imperial Envoy in the golden light in the sky stood there with an embarrassed expression until he saw Wang Lin open his eyes, then he gave a wry smile and cupped his fists.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, please don't blame me… this… I also didn't expect the Immortal Emperor's imperial decree to contain such content… If I had known earlier, I would have definitely joined Fellow Daoist in killing this scoundrel!"
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he looked at the Imperial Envoy without speaking. In fact, he was quite surprised by the content of the imperial decree, especially the last few sentences regarding his kindness to Lian Daofei.
"That madman's real name is Lian Daofei… The first time I opened my Storage Space, he and the silver-clad woman were swept away by the shattered void, their whereabouts unknown… This madman often called himself 'this King,' and I also vaguely heard from Master Xuan Luo that his brother is the Immortal Emperor… Could it be that the Immortal Emperor found the madman, and after the madman woke up, he told the Immortal Emperor about our relationship…?" As Wang Lin pondered, the Imperial Envoy on the sky screen was trembling with fear, filled with regret. With a bitter expression, he continuously cursed the deceased Sect Master of the Dao Demon Sect.
"This damned Sect Master of the Dao Demon Sect, just die already, why do you have to implicate this old man? If I had known, I wouldn't have cared about Wang Lin's slaughter and would have just finished reading the imperial decree first… What is Wang Lin's true identity? The Immortal Emperor actually spoke to him in such a tone… the kindness to Daofei… Prince Lian Daofei woke up thirty years ago, could it be…?" The Imperial Envoy's pupils constricted, and he quickly dispelled all thoughts of this matter from his mind. He knew that some things were not for him to know or guess.
"With Wang Lin's cultivation, coupled with…, he will certainly receive the Immortal Emperor's attention. Alas, this matter needs to be remedied quickly." Thinking of this, the Imperial Envoy immediately showed a respectful smile and repeatedly cupped his fists and bowed to Wang Lin.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, please don't blame me, don't blame me… I was truly confused earlier. This Sect Master of the Dao Demon Sect deserved to die!" As the Imperial Envoy spoke, he observed Wang Lin's expression. Seeing that Wang Lin completely ignored him and still looked somewhat gloomy, his heart sank.
"Oh no, this person must still be bothered by my two earlier attempts to intervene… If he says a few words in front of the Immortal Emperor in the future, I… I…" More sweat appeared on the Imperial Envoy's forehead, and when the wind blew, it turned into a chilling sensation.
"Hehe, this… Fellow Daoist Wang, I have some specialties from Central Continent here. It's our first meeting, a small gift is just a token of my regard, I hope Fellow Daoist will accept it." Suppressing his heartache, the Imperial Envoy quickly took out a Jade Slip and, along with the imperial decree, respectfully handed them to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin was contemplating the Karma of this matter. Hearing this, he looked up and glanced at the Imperial Envoy. After taking the imperial decree, he didn't look at it but instead focused on the Jade Slip.
His Divine Sense swept over it, and his expression remained calm, but his heart stirred. This Jade Slip did not have any content engraved on it, but rather it was a Storage Space-like existence, containing a large amount of Origin Stones filled with Immortal Qi.
Putting away the Jade Slip, Wang Lin looked coldly at the Imperial Envoy without speaking.
Under his gaze, the Imperial Envoy inwardly groaned. Gritting his teeth, he waved his right hand again, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand. With extreme heartache, he forced out a smile.
"Ah, I forgot, there's also another Central Continent specialty here. It's nothing too valuable, Fellow Daoist must accept it!" As he spoke, he respectfully handed the jade bottle to Wang Lin again.
After Wang Lin received it, he swept his Divine Sense inside in front of the Imperial Envoy. It contained a large number of Medicinal Pills, all for healing purposes, and many of them were extremely precious.
Ordinary Cultivators would find it difficult to obtain such items; only an Imperial Envoy could manage to get them in Central Continent.
Having given two generous gifts in a row, the Imperial Envoy's heart ached terribly. He intently watched Wang Lin's expression and found that Wang Lin's gloomy face had softened slightly, which made him sigh in relief. However, even so, Wang Lin's cold gaze, after examining the Medicinal Pills, still lingered on the Imperial Envoy.
Under Wang Lin's gaze, the Imperial Envoy inwardly groaned again.
"Too greedy, aren't you… This… this…" The Imperial Envoy still had to force a smile. His right hand trembled imperceptibly, and he gritted his teeth, taking out another Jade Slip, squeezing out a smile.
"I also have a property in the Central Continent capital…" He said, handing the Jade Slip to Wang Lin with extreme heartache.
Taking the Jade Slip and looking at it, Wang Lin's face slowly broke into a smile. His smile, in the eyes of the Imperial Envoy, immediately made him let out a complete sigh of relief.
"Envoy, there's no need to be so polite. Since these Central Continent specialties are not valuable items, then I, Wang, will humbly accept them."
"Yes, yes, none of them are valuable items." The Imperial Envoy felt a dull ache in his chest and said with a wry smile.
"Envoy, since you came to Green Devil Continent, you must have passed through Tianniu Continent. How is the war there?" Wang Lin slowly asked.
"There are a total of three imperial decrees this time; Tianniu Continent's Great Soul Gate and Guiyi Sect each received one. The war should be over now, and they are probably all rushing back to their Sects." The Imperial Envoy did not conceal this matter and immediately said.
"Is Daofei also in the Imperial City?" Wang Lin put away the Jade Slip, changed the subject, and asked casually.
"Prince Daofei has been in the Imperial City ever since he woke up. It is said that he wanted to leave, but the Immortal Emperor did not permit it." These were all rumors, and the Imperial Envoy felt it was harmless to speak of them.
"Oh, I have an old acquaintance with Daofei and once showed him some kindness." Wang Lin smiled.
The Imperial Robe Envoy quickly nodded. He had noticed this when he delivered the decree earlier, and now hearing Wang Lin say it himself, he was even more certain.
"Daofei's character… Alas, it's been a long time since I last saw him. Is he still the same as before?" Wang Lin shook his head and sighed softly.
"Prince Daofei…" The Imperial Envoy hesitated for a moment, but thinking of the content of the imperial decree and Wang Lin's previous words, he continued.
"Given my status, I don't get to see Prince Daofei, but I've heard people secretly say that it seems Prince Daofei's character has changed somewhat since he woke up thirty years ago… but sometimes, he's still the same…" The Imperial Envoy spoke slowly, with hesitation.
Wang Lin's heart stirred, and he stopped speaking with a smile.
Seeing this, the Imperial Envoy immediately knew when to advance and retreat. He cupped his fists and bowed to Wang Lin.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, this imperial decree can be used for Teleportation. This place is very far from Central Continent, requiring eight teleportations to reach. I need to return to report first, so I won't be traveling with Fellow Daoist. Once we reach the Imperial City, I will certainly come to greet you." The Imperial Envoy said with a smile, then quickly excused himself and left. He was afraid that if he lingered any longer, if a word displeased Wang Lin, he would have to offer another 'not valuable item' as a small token.
Until the Imperial Envoy left, the smile on Wang Lin's face immediately vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression.
He did not leave the ruins of the Dao Demon Sect but sat cross-legged on a bluestone amidst the ruins, his eyes flickering.
"Lian Daofei… his greed, his many negative thoughts, have all been devoured by the Heavenly Fate Child, who was transformed by the Heavenly Dao back then. Logically speaking, his character should be vastly different from before… The Imperial Envoy's words also conveyed this meaning, that his character has changed, but I wonder what he has become now…"
Wang Lin frowned, looking up at the darkening sky in the distance, and continued to ponder.
"However, if his character truly changed, why would he have been awake for thirty years, and only now would his brother, the Immortal Emperor, announce the decree… If he truly wanted to thank me, thirty years ago, I was in that Scorpion Temple, enduring suffering and fortune… The content of this imperial decree is very interesting…" Wang Lin's eyes showed a cold light. He raised his right hand and suddenly waved it towards the dark distance. A black wind howled forth, followed by several shrill screams, then silence.
Wang Lin was ruthless. Once he decided to do something, he became even more ruthless. Since he wanted to exterminate the entire Dao Demon Sect, he naturally wouldn't let go of the remnants of the Dao Demon Sect who had fled to Tianniu Continent.
Those who returned earliest were of noble status, Cultivators who spared no expense to rush back early using Teleportation Formations. The reason Wang Lin stayed here, besides waiting for these Cultivators to return one by one, was also to wait for one person!
"The Old Ancestor of the Dao Demon Sect should be on his way. This person has Heavenly Venerate cultivation. To truly destroy the Dao Demon Sect's lineage, this person must die! And even if I don't seek trouble with him, he will resent me and come to hunt me down!
Heavenly Venerate… I wonder how I compare to a Heavenly Venerate after putting on my Soul Armor!" Wang Lin sat on the bluestone, looking into the distance.
"After settling the matters of the Dao Demon Sect, I have two choices: either go to the Donglin Sect, enter the Donglin Pool, and see if my other Origins can condense into true bodies… or go to Central Continent to see what kind of Dragon's Den and Tiger's Lair it is there, whether Lian Daofei still remembers me, and what intentions his brother, the Immortal Emperor, truly holds… However, Master once said that among the Immortal Clan, there are five Great Heavenly Venerates, and this Immortal Emperor, Lian Daozhen, is one of them! Going there might entail danger…" Wang Lin closed his eyes, silent in the dark night.
Five continents away from the Green Devil Continent's Dao Demon Sect, a long rainbow streaked across the sky. Inside the long rainbow was a red-haired old man. The old man's face was calm, but his eyes harbored fury!
With a flicker, the heavens and earth roared. He vanished at a Teleportation Formation in the distance, exchanging a colossal price for the power of teleportation, rushing through continent after continent!
He was the Heavenly Venerate Old Ancestor of the Green Devil Sect, under the command of Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate!!
