Chapter 1880: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, A Reunion

Within the Earth Gate of Mengtu Continent, amidst the endless dust storm, Wang Lin's voice echoed between heaven and earth. It seemed as if even the howling of the dust storm could not suppress his voice at this moment. Under Wang Lin's voice, everything seemed to approach a standstill.

But it was only close; the surrounding dust storm still changed, and sand still flew.

Despite this, the reverberation of this Divine Thought brought all Cultivators within the Earth Gate a storm that entered their minds and shook their Souls.

Under this Divine Thought, the higher a person's cultivation, the deeper their sensation. Within the Earth Gate of Mengtu Continent, their Old Ancestor's cultivation was at the Golden Venerate level, and although the Sect Master had not reached the Golden Venerate level, he was also a Late Stage Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivator.

These two individuals were the strongest Cultivators in the entire Earth Gate.

At this moment, the Earth Gate Sect Master was in the main hall, reprimanding his three Personal Disciples. His expression was stern, and he pointed angrily at one of them. The words he spoke were filled with pressure that made the three Disciples tremble.

But just then, Wang Lin's Divine Thought swept over. He had no intention of making things difficult for low-level Cultivators, so the three Disciples with lower cultivation could still resist, though their expressions changed in an instant, as if a strong wind had swept over them.

However, the Earth Gate Sect Master's expression suddenly changed drastically. His mind felt as if a hundred million bolts of thunder had exploded, making him feel as if a mountain had collapsed and was pressing down on him. With a sway of his body, he immediately transformed into a long rainbow and rushed out of the Earth Gate without hesitation.

He dared not not go, dared not disobey!

And that Golden Venerate Old Man of the Earth Gate, who had been in seclusion for many years and held a revered status, rarely ventured out. At this moment, in his place of seclusion, he was sitting cross-legged, immersed in breathing exercises, when suddenly his mind roared. Wang Lin's Divine Thought, in an extremely overbearing manner, forcefully broke through all his obstructions and reverberated in the deepest part of his mind.

The Golden Venerate Old Ancestor of the Earth Gate suddenly opened his eyes, revealing shock and alarm.

"Heavenly Venerate!!" In this instant, the Golden Venerate Old Ancestor felt as if heaven and earth were collapsing before him, as if just one sweep from a fragment of that collapse could cause his demise.

Fear immediately permeated his mind. The Golden Venerate Old Ancestor instantly swayed and teleported directly outside the Earth Gate.

Besides this, within the Earth Gate, in a pavilion in the area where the fifth-grade Disciples resided, the man named Qing felt his body suddenly shake the moment he heard this Divine Thought, and his eyes revealed an even deeper confusion than before.

Not only him, but even the woman beside him trembled, and a momentary confusion flashed in her eyes.

Among the three thousand Disciples of the entire Sect, all were shaken by this Divine Thought, but they were all filled with reverence. Only this man and woman had confusion in their eyes.

However, they would never know that in that instant, they both had such a similar experience.

Outside the Earth Gate, Wang Lin stood calmly atop the Sea Dragon's head, watching the Earth Gate's Golden Venerate Old Ancestor appear amidst the distorted dust storm in front, and the Earth Gate Sect Master, who was currently approaching rapidly from within the Earth Gate like a long rainbow.

After the Golden Venerate Old Ancestor appeared, the first thing he saw was the Sea Dragon beneath Wang Lin. The moment he saw this Dragon, his heart pounded with fright. One must know that a Sea Dragon was equivalent to a Golden Venerate among Cultivators, and of a relatively high level, even slightly stronger than the Dao Demon Sect Master.

"A Golden Venerate Sea Dragon as a mount…" Sweat beaded on the Earth Gate's Golden Venerate Old Ancestor's forehead. He looked at Wang Lin, who was calmly gazing from atop the Sea Dragon's head. When Wang Lin's gaze swept over him, the Golden Venerate Old Man's heart trembled. Without hesitation, he clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Wang Lin with extreme respect.

"Zheng Tianlin of the Earth Gate respectfully greets Senior."

As he spoke, the long rainbow formed by the Sect Master of the Earth Gate also swept closer. With just one glance, his face immediately turned pale, intimidated by Wang Lin's luxurious mount. He obediently stood beside his Old Ancestor and respectfully bowed to Wang Lin.

"Senior's arrival, this Junior failed to welcome you from afar. I hope Senior will forgive me. If Senior does not mind, please enter our humble Sect to rest, and allow this Junior to respectfully pay respects." The Golden Venerate Old Ancestor Zheng Tianlin's expression was extremely respectful, not daring to offend in the slightest, fearing to provoke this terrifying Heavenly Venerate Cultivator before him.

He didn't even dare to release his Divine Sense to check Wang Lin's cultivation. One must know that for a low-level Cultivator to casually release Divine Sense to check a powerful expert was a very impolite act.

Based on that terrifying Divine Thought just now, he could clearly determine that the other party must be a Heavenly Venerate, and the Golden Venerate Sea Dragon mount further shook his mind.

"In my life, I have only seen Heavenly Venerate Cultivators twice. Each of them was a person whose stomp could make an entire continent tremble… This person suddenly came to my Earth Gate, could it be that someone in my Earth Gate has provoked this Senior?"

This continent, Africa!

"No need to enter the Sect. I am passing through Mengtu Continent and need the most complete Jade Slip map of the nearby continents from your Earth Gate. Can you give me one?" Wang Lin smiled slightly and slowly spoke to the Golden Venerate Old Man.

With this smile, the Golden Venerate Old Ancestor's heart let out a sigh of relief. He was afraid that one of his Disciples had unintentionally offended a Heavenly Venerate. One must know that throughout the Immortal Clan Continent, there were only a little over a thousand Heavenly Venerate Cultivators, a large portion of whom were in the Central Continent, some followed the Great Heavenly Venerate, and the rest remained in powerful Sects, becoming true Old Ancestors.

Now hearing that Wang Lin was only here for a map, the Golden Venerate Old Man Zheng Tianlin quickly nodded.

"Senior is too polite. The most complete map in this Junior's Sect is on me. This map includes the entire East Continent, and even a large part of the South Continent." As he spoke, he immediately raised his right hand and grabbed in the Void Realm. A golden Jade Slip appeared within, and he respectfully stepped forward to hand it to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin took it, and his Divine Sense swept through it. The map described in the Jade Slip covered a larger area than the turtle shell he carried, and it was quite detailed.

"It even has quite a bit of the South Continent's map." Wang Lin smiled slightly and glanced at the Golden Venerate Old Man.

Seeing Wang Lin's seemingly satisfied expression, the Golden Venerate Old Man Zheng Tianlin felt even more relaxed and spoke respectfully.

"This Junior, after just becoming a Golden Venerate, once went out for experience. I traveled as far as the South Continent, recording everything I saw and heard, as well as the general scope, along the way. That is how this Jade Slip was created. If Senior needs it, there's no need to copy it; just take it. This Junior has a backup here."

Putting away the Jade Slip, Wang Lin had the intention of giving some benefits, but he had just become a Heavenly Venerate and had spent over a hundred years in the Scorpion Temple of Green Devil Continent before, so he truly had nothing particularly presentable on him.

One must know that a map Jade Slip in the Immortal Astral Continent was very private; Sects would rarely give them out easily. This was a cumulative item of the Sect over several generations.

After a slight contemplation, Wang Lin raised his right hand and grabbed in the Void Realm. Immediately, a wisp of flame condensed in his palm, forming a small flame. That flame was eternal and contained a small amount of fire Origin.

"I won't take your Earth Gate map for nothing. This item contains a wisp of fire Origin. If anyone in your Sect can comprehend it and integrate it into their body, it can increase their chances of condensing fire Origin." Saying this, Wang Lin waved his right hand forward, and the fire Origin flew directly towards the Golden Venerate Old Man.

The Old Man's face showed pleasant surprise, and he quickly accepted it, carefully placing it into his Storage Space, and bowed to Wang Lin again. However, in his heart, he sighed secretly, thinking that every Heavenly Venerate was extremely stingy. The two he met back then were like this, and this third one he met now was also the same.

After giving the small flame and taking the Jade Slip, Wang Lin turned to leave, casually sweeping his Divine Sense across the Earth Gate. This was merely a subconscious action, a result of his cautious nature, as the Sea Dragon beneath him flew out a hundred zhang.

"Respectfully seeing Senior off!" The Golden Venerate Old Man completely relaxed, clasping his hands and bowing.

The Earth Gate Sect Master, who had always respectfully accompanied him but had no right to speak, also quickly clasped his hands and bowed.

But at this very moment, Wang Lin's steps suddenly paused. He abruptly turned around, staring intently at the Earth Gate, a towering wave rising in his heart!!

In that instant, with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he for the first time detected the Soul aura that had shaken his mind!!

With a sway of his body, the Sea Dragon beneath Wang Lin sensed his Divine Thought. With a roar towards the sky, it transformed into a whistling gale and rushed towards the Earth Gate.

This sudden change was so abrupt that the Golden Venerate Old Man Zheng Tianlin had no prior warning whatsoever. After a moment of stunned surprise, his expression changed drastically. As the Sea Dragon roared past above his head, it charged directly into the Earth Gate!

"Senior!" Zheng Tianlin's expression showed surprise and uncertainty. He immediately turned with the equally pale Earth Gate Sect Master beside him, transforming into two long rainbows and rushing towards Wang Lin.

Within the Earth Gate, as the Sea Dragon charged in, and its roaring echoed throughout heaven and earth, all three thousand Disciples of the entire Earth Gate trembled in their hearts, feeling as if heavenly might had descended.

The Sea Dragon floated in the area where the fifth-grade Disciples resided. Wang Lin stood atop the Sea Dragon's head, looking down, his vision momentarily blurred.

The Golden Venerate Old Man and the Earth Gate Sect Master had caught up and were even more surprised at the side, especially the Earth Gate Sect Master, whose face was ashen. He didn't know why Wang Lin had suddenly turned back, but looking at Wang Lin's expression, his heart seemed to be pounding faster.

"Senior, this is where our Earth Gate's fifth-grade Disciples are…" The Golden Venerate Old Man inwardly cursed, then took a deep breath and quickly clasped his hands to introduce them.

"Fifth-grade Disciples, listen to my command! All of you, come out and greet Senior!" The Golden Venerate Old Man's mind raced, vaguely guessing that the reason this unpredictable Heavenly Venerate Cultivator had turned back was likely because someone among the fifth-grade Disciples displeased him, or perhaps they were descendants of his enemies.

"Fortunately, they are fifth-grade Disciples. Even if they all die, we cannot offend this Heavenly Venerate!" The Golden Venerate Old Man Zheng Tianlin immediately made a decision. As he spoke, thousands of Cultivators from the fifth-grade Disciple area below all turned pale and quickly walked out, kneeling down towards Wang Lin below, preparing to pay respects.

Within that crowd was the man named Qing, and beside him was the woman.

These two were also about to kneel and pay respects, but Wang Lin's gaze flashed, and he descended from the Sea Dragon. With a flick of his large sleeve, a gentle force spread out, preventing the two from kneeling.

Looking at the man, Wang Lin's eyes showed tenderness.

"Brother Zhou…"
