Chapter 1874: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, the Immortal Clan’s Great Heavenly Venerate

“I must go to the Immortal Clan Imperial City, not for the so-called gratitude, but for the vow I made to Lian Daofei back then! In this life, I must restore Daofei's memory to repay the favor of the Blood Fusion he performed for me!” A resolute light shone in Wang Lin's eyes.

He valued kindness deeply!

The madman from back then had shown him great kindness. Now, he definitely had to go to the Immortal Clan Imperial City to see if the madman had fully recovered his memory. If there were no regrets, he could put his mind at ease.

“No matter what his personality is like, whether he has changed or not, even if he holds malicious intent toward me, I must go and see for myself!” Wang Lin fell silent, but a trace of melancholy appeared in his eyes.

He didn't know what the madman from back then had turned into now, or if he would still roar and shout beside him as he once did.

“Let me tell you, this King is formidable!!”

“You, you, you… This King will bite you to death, bite you to death!!”

“Damn it, how dare you play dead in front of this King?”

“It's raining… Uh, Little Hong, come massage this lord's shoulders…”

“Go tell my brother that this King is tired today and won't Cultivate. I'm going out to play… Tell him not to look for me. This King will return when I'm done playing. If he dares to drag me back like he usually does, I'll cut ties with him!”

“This King's blood, it's very, very Fei Fei… Eh, I remember now, it seems a little demoness named Fei Fei fed me something…”

The madman's voice from back then seemed to echo in his ears. In the pitch-black ruins of the Dao Demon Sect, during the night, Wang Lin sighed softly. He still remembered that during the Life-and-Death Tribulation on Vermilion Bird Star, the madman had appeared, hugged him, and blocked that deadly Divine Ability for him.

He also remembered that during the third Mortal Transformation Dream Dao, he and the madman drifted in the Void. In the Dream Dao, he met the madman and, along with his mortal self, passed through sixty years of life.

“I hope he hasn't changed too much…” The melancholy in Wang Lin's eyes deepened slightly. He had few friends, and this madman was one of them.

In reality, what he had given the madman was little, certainly not a favor; rather, the madman had shown great kindness to Wang Lin!

“I must go to the Immortal Clan Imperial City, but it is certainly dangerous. Before going, I need to make some preparations…” Wang Lin fell silent, a decision already forming in his heart.

“The five Great Heavenly Venerates of the Immortal Clan…” Wang Lin flipped his right hand, and the Tortoise Shell Fragment given by the Great Soul Gate Old Ancestor appeared in his grasp. Besides the map, it contained some introductions to the Great Heavenly Venerates. Furthermore, Xuan Luo had also told Wang Lin some things about the Great Heavenly Venerates back in the Immortal Cave Realm.

“The Immortal Emperor of Central Continent, inheriting the Eight Extremes Dao of the Immortal Ancestor, is the Eight Extremes Great Heavenly Venerate!”

“Eastern Continent's Purple Yang Sect, the strongest of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates, has the Gemini Great Heavenly Venerate within it!”

“Southern Continent's Dao One Sect, which holds the Dao One Great Heavenly Venerate!”

“Northern Continent's Qiankun Dao, which holds the Wu Feng Great Heavenly Venerate!”

“In Central Continent, besides the Immortal Emperor, there is one more Great Heavenly Venerate, who is the Jiudi Great Heavenly Venerate!”

This is the territory of the Immortal Clan, five peerless experts, five suns—the Great Heavenly Venerates—among the Seventy-Two Continents!

Wang Lin's eyes flickered as he analyzed these five Great Heavenly Venerates in his mind. Given his current cultivation, if any Great Heavenly Venerate were to learn of him, they would definitely try to win him over and make him their subordinate.

And once he had a Great Heavenly Venerate backing him, the danger of Wang Lin's trip to the Immortal Clan Imperial City would drop significantly. After all, even the Immortal Emperor, the Eight Extremes Great Heavenly Venerate, would need a reason to kill a Heavenly Venerate serving another Great Heavenly Venerate! Heavenly Venerates are beings who surpass Golden Venerates and are extremely rare on the Immortal Astral Continent!

Each Great Heavenly Venerate commands at most fewer than a hundred Heavenly Venerates! Across the entire Immortal Clan Continent, there are currently no more than a thousand Heavenly Venerate Cultivators!

Furthermore, killing an ordinary Heavenly Venerate might be acceptable, but if the person killed is a Cultivator at the Sky-Leaping Heavenly Venerate level, then no Great Heavenly Venerate would tolerate such an action!!

This is because Sky-Leaping Heavenly Venerate Cultivators are even rarer. Across the entire Immortal Clan Continent, there are currently only forty-eight Sky-Leaping Heavenly Venerate Cultivators!!!

Most of these forty-eight individuals are in secluded cultivation, hidden in various places across the Immortal Astral Continent. Fewer than thirty percent have been taken in as subordinates by a Great Heavenly Venerate.

Even a Great Heavenly Venerate would show a certain level of respect to such figures, as they are the strongest individuals in all of Immortal Astral, second only to the Great Heavenly Venerates! If they do not wish to follow a Great Heavenly Venerate, then unless they challenge a Great Heavenly Venerate like Luo Yunhai, the Great Heavenly Venerate will not make things difficult for them or force them to follow.

And once a Sky-Leaping Heavenly Venerate Cultivator chooses to follow a Great Heavenly Venerate, that Great Heavenly Venerate will certainly treat them as a confidant after assessment and investigation, offering them exceptional courtesy, because Cultivators of this level are the best protectors for a Great Heavenly Venerate during Reincarnation!!

If such a Sky-Leaping Heavenly Venerate Cultivator were killed by another Great Heavenly Venerate, it might be acceptable if they were alone. But if they were not alone and had become a subordinate of another Great Heavenly Venerate, it would absolutely not be tolerated!

This concerns reputation, the Great Heavenly Venerate's future recruitment efforts, and even the crucial protection needed after Reincarnation. No Great Heavenly Venerate would stand idly by and ignore the death of a Sky-Leaping Heavenly Venerate Cultivator under their command.

Sky-Leaping Heavenly Venerate Cultivators are simply too few!

“If I were in the Ancient Clan, this wouldn't be necessary, since Master is there…” Wang Lin understood that even though he was Xuan Luo's only Disciple, he absolutely could not reveal this fact in the Immortal Clan. Otherwise, given his current cultivation, he would certainly be targeted and killed by a Great Heavenly Venerate.

The Immortal Clan absolutely cannot allow such a Cultivator to appear within the Ancient Clan!

“Even the madman doesn't know about Master. Only Guiyi Sect knows. However, since Master dared to let Guiyi Sect know and didn't kill them in the Immortal Cave Realm, he must be confident that Guiyi Sect won't reveal this matter… Although I don't know the specific reason, I trust Master!”

“For a Great Heavenly Venerate, even knowing that I possess Ancient Clan Bloodline and Cultivate Both Ancient and Immortal Paths, they wouldn't care—provided they don't know about my relationship with Master Xuan Luo!”

Wang Lin had spent quite some time on the Immortal Astral Continent, and he vaguely understood that over countless years, the Immortal Clan and the Ancient Clan had undergone some Bloodline integration. Due to this integration, a portion of Immortal Clan Cultivators had appeared who also possessed the Ancient Clan's Physical Body, though they had not received recognition from the Ancient Ancestor Temple.

Thus, Wang Lin possessing an Ancient Clan body might be shocking to ordinary Cultivators, but it wouldn't be so to a Great Heavenly Venerate.

Moreover, Wang Lin knew one thing deeply: some matters in this world did not need to be concealed. The fact that he came from the Immortal Cave Realm needed to be hidden from others, but not necessarily from the Great Heavenly Venerates. They would certainly be able to find out, and this fact would actually be beneficial to the Great Heavenly Venerates because they could truly understand Wang Lin's origin!

Although they would be extremely shocked that a Cultivator had emerged from the Immortal Cave Realm, with Wang Lin's cultivation, none of that mattered. What mattered was Wang Lin's choice.

“If I want to attract the attention of a Great Heavenly Venerate, I must display my cultivation—a cultivation capable of killing a Heavenly Venerate! Only then can I become famous throughout the Immortal Clan!

Once I have fame, the Great Heavenly Venerate will seek me out themselves!” Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and his inner resolve hardened further.

“The five Great Heavenly Venerates: I can disregard the Immortal Emperor. As for the other four… I am unfamiliar with the Dao One Great Heavenly Venerate, the Wu Feng Great Heavenly Venerate, and the Jiudi Great Heavenly Venerate. Only the Gemini Great Heavenly Venerate of the Purple Yang Sect, who is also from Eastern Continent, had a single encounter with me in the Immortal Cave Realm…” In Wang Lin's mind, the two adorable little girls he saw when he met Tan Lang in the Immortal Cave Realm, named Wa Wa and Han Han, appeared.

“Attracting the Great Heavenly Venerate's attention and letting them seek me out themselves—that is the best method!” Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he slowly closed them.

He was waiting for the arrival of the Dao Demon Sect Heavenly Venerate Old Ancestor. He needed to maintain his Peak condition to fight the Heavenly Venerate and see exactly what level his cultivation had reached.

Golden Venerates were no longer sufficient for Wang Lin to gauge his cultivation. Only a Heavenly Venerate could accurately determine what level he had reached!!

While waiting, the suppressed Primordial Spirit of the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master within Wang Lin was ruthlessly absorbed and refined by him. However, he did not immediately condense the second Divine Meridian for the Speed Divine Art. Instead, he took out the dozens of mighty experts' Primordial Spirits he had obtained and, selecting those suitable for the second Soul Meridian—Primordial Spirits below the fifth Mysterious Tribulation—he devoured them one by one.

Time slowly passed. Several hours later, just as the sky began to lighten, after Wang Lin devoured nine Primordial Spirits below the fifth Mysterious Tribulation, a massive roar echoed from within his body, and the second Divine Meridian suddenly condensed into a Vortex!

The moment this second Divine Meridian appeared, Wang Lin abruptly opened his eyes. He felt that the speed at which he cast Spells had increased even further!

“The third Divine Meridian must appear too!” Wang Lin flicked his sleeve, selected seven Cultivator Primordial Spirits above the fifth Mysterious Tribulation from the dozens of spirits, and devoured them all. Since the Mysterious Tribulation Cultivator Primordial Spirits were insufficient, he then devoured a Primordial Spirit in the Early Stage of the Empty Tribulation Realm. Amidst the resounding roar within his body, the third Divine Meridian suddenly appeared!

After the three Divine Meridians appeared, once the three Divine Meridian Vortexes in Wang Lin's body rotated, he could instantly cast numerous Divine Abilities. Even the speed of his dao ancient Physical Body noticeably changed!

This was different from the Cultivator from whom Wang Lin obtained the Speed Divine Art. That Cultivator could only increase the speed of spellcasting and could not affect their Physical Body. The key difference was that the Cultivator's first Divine Meridian was condensed by devouring a void nirvana Cultivator, while Wang Lin's was condensed by devouring an empty profound Cultivator!

The dozens of Primordial Spirits were of varying quality. After devouring most of them, Wang Lin put the rest away for other uses.

“I wonder how many Divine Meridians the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master's Primordial Spirit can add to my Speed Divine Art…” Wang Lin closed his eyes and began condensing Divine Meridians using the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master's Primordial Spirit.

At this moment, the sky was bright, and sunlight streamed down. While Wang Lin was condensing his Divine Meridians, a long rainbow, carrying a world-shaking Aura, roared toward the border between Mengtu Continent and Green Devil Continent. In an instant, it Transmigrationed the boundary of Mengtu Continent and stepped into Green Devil Continent. All Cultivators within Mengtu Continent were deeply shaken by the long rainbow's passage and dared not show their faces.

The boundary between continents is completely ignored by a Heavenly Venerate!
