Chapter 1884: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, Heavenly Venerate Nirvana

Within the Shanhai Continent of Nanzhou, there is an inland sea called Shanhai. The sea is vast, with numerous seabirds circling in the blue sky. Along with the sound of crashing waves, gusts of humid sea breeze blow towards the shore.

The Shanhai Sea occupies nearly seventy percent of the entire Shanhai Continent, with the remaining thirty percent of land encircling it.

At this moment, on the northern coast of this Shanhai Sea, in a mountainous region, Wang Lin stood on one of the peaks, looking at the sea ahead with a calm expression.

This was the closest location to the Shanhai Tree at the bottom of the sea, but Wang Lin did not immediately choose to return to the Shanhai Sea. Instead, his body flickered and disappeared from the peak, reappearing inside the mountain, in an Immortal Cave that had been excavated.

Wang Lin had lived in this Immortal Cave for three years, and during that time, he had set up a large number of Restrictions around it. For him, this place could provide a certain degree of protection.

Inside this Immortal Cave, there was also a faint blue mist, permeating the surroundings, within which a much smaller Sea Dragon could vaguely be seen.

Sitting cross-legged in the Immortal Cave, Wang Lin slowly closed his eyes, his hands resting on his knees, continuously forming hand seals. Each of these hand seals was extremely special, known to Wang Lin after repeated verification.

"Before taking the Shanhai Tree, I should first go and see what profound mysteries lie in this Heavenly Venerate Nirvana land!" While sitting cross-legged, Wang Lin followed the method he had learned over the past fifty years to enter the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana land. His Divine Sense slowly emanated from his body, condensing above his heavenly spirit. Continuously condensing and compressing, it transformed into a bright ray of light.

This radiance was the light of Divine Sense. After condensing on Wang Lin's heavenly spirit for a moment, it suddenly erupted, shooting straight up into the sky with an indescribable speed.

It pierced through the Immortal Cave, through the mountain peak, and directly soared from within the mountain, heading straight for the sky. This scene was invisible to outsiders and completely imperceptible, because the appearance of the Divine Sense light condensed Wang Lin's special hand seals, which he was currently forming while sitting cross-legged. The purpose of these hand seals was to conceal all Divine Sense fluctuations and protect Heavenly Venerate Cultivators from being detected when entering the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana land.

It is said that these hand seals originated from the Immortal Ancestor!

Wang Lin's Divine Sense continuously ascended, breaking through the void, heading straight into the endless firmament, like a sharp sword piercing the heavens, silently, as if to rip open the sky of Immortal Astral!

The instant his Divine Sense reached its highest point, a series of rumbling sounds immediately echoed in Wang Lin's mind. In his Divine Sense, it felt as if the firmament, at that moment, had transformed into a giant Vortex, completely sucking his Divine Sense into it.

His vision blurred for a moment, and after everything became clear, Wang Lin abruptly looked around, his eyes filled with shock.

He was in a continent about ten thousand li wide. This continent was small, floating in the firmament, surrounded by countless howling gales, and streaks of black threads flashed by. Each of these threads contained terrifying power, as if a mere touch could cause one's body and spirit to be annihilated.

At the center of this continent stood a massive palace. This palace exuded an ancient aura, completely black, radiating a fierce majesty that instilled awe in all who saw it.

As soon as Wang Lin arrived here and observed his surroundings, streaks of Divine Thought immediately swept out from around the massive palace, quickly passing over Wang Lin.

Each of these Divine Thoughts contained the might of a Heavenly Venerate Cultivator, numbering nearly two hundred.

"Wang Lin?"

"White-haired Heavenly Venerate!"

"It's him!" Among these Divine Senses, some were Heavenly Venerates who had fought Wang Lin within the past fifty years, and they immediately recognized him upon seeing his arrival.

Wang Lin's expression was normal. As his gaze swept around, he clearly saw where he was: an ancient Teleportation Formation. This formation was extremely complex; at a glance, Wang Lin felt a delusion as if his Divine Sense was about to be swallowed and absorbed by it.

After a long while, Wang Lin retracted his gaze and stepped out of the Teleportation Formation, then carefully examined his body. His body was exactly the same as when he had his Physical Body. If he hadn't known beforehand that he had arrived as Divine Sense, he would have found it difficult to discern any difference.

"This Heavenly Venerate Nirvana land, created by the Immortal Ancestor back then, is indeed profound!" Wang Lin's body flickered as he headed towards the ancient palace in the distance, from which numerous Divine Senses emanated.

The closer he got, the more shocked Wang Lin became. This ancient black palace already appeared massive from afar, but up close, it was even more so. What was even more astonishing was that upon closer inspection, one could discover that above the palace, there were actually massive palaces floating!

There were a total of nineteen palaces, floating in mid-air, seemingly connected to each other like a long Dragon. The topmost palaces were even deeper within the firmament, with only a blurry outline visible.

"Based on my understanding over the past fifty years, it is rumored that this Heavenly Venerate Nirvana land is actually formed from the Immortal Ancestor's strongest Magic Treasure back then. It exists within the void, protecting the Immortal Race." Wang Lin looked at the palaces in the firmament, most of which appeared as mere phantoms due to the great distance, but the waves of pressure emanating from them were felt very clearly by Wang Lin.

As he approached, Wang Lin also saw over two hundred Cultivators sitting cross-legged outside the first ancient palace in the center of the continent. These Cultivators surrounded the palace, spaced far apart from each other, as if unwilling to be close.

Upon Wang Lin's arrival, many of them looked over. Some who knew Wang Lin observed him, then smiled and cupped their fists.

After returning the greetings one by one, Wang Lin stood outside the palace, gazing at the colossal structure before him, feeling a delusion of his own insignificance.

"The Heavenly Venerate Nirvana land is extremely peculiar. No matter where Cultivators are in the Immortal Race region, they can be drawn here by their Divine Sense. Therefore, this place is where Heavenly Venerate Cultivators most love to come. Even if two people are worlds apart, they can meet here.

And because of this characteristic, the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana land is the best place for Heavenly Venerates to get to know each other." Wang Lin's mind recalled the information about this place he had learned over the past fifty years.

Just as Wang Lin was pondering, suddenly, above the palace, from the seventh floating palace, a dazzling golden light erupted. The golden light instantly enveloped the surroundings, causing all the Heavenly Venerate Cultivators on the continent to immediately look up and gaze intently.

Wang Lin also looked, and saw a black-clothed figure fly out from the seventh palace where the golden light suddenly flashed. The figure was a middle-aged man with long, flowing hair, exuding waves of powerful majesty from his body. With a flicker, he shot straight up, from the seventh palace towards the eighth!

"Heavenly Venerate Zhulin, he passed the seventh layer!"

"To pass the seventh layer, one needs to have at least sixty-three fused Divine Abilities. I remember this Heavenly Venerate Zhulin didn't have such ability back then!"

"A thousand years, he followed Great Heavenly Venerate Jiudi, clearly gaining many benefits…"

"The eighth layer is nothing, the most important is the ninth layer. If anyone can pass the ninth layer, they will probably immediately be valued by all the Great Heavenly Venerates of the Immortal Race."

"The ninth layer… too difficult! Those who can pass the ninth layer are already infinitely close to becoming a Sky Venerate. They only need to take one more step to become the forty-ninth Sky Venerate of our Immortal Race!"

"Even Dao Venerate Ming, the strongest among Sky Venerates, stopped at the sixteenth layer and couldn't pass."

"It is rumored that if someone can pass the nineteenth layer, they will possess battle power that even a Great Heavenly Venerate would not easily contend with!"

Amidst the golden light, the two hundred-plus Heavenly Venerates around exchanged Divine Thoughts.

As these Divine Thoughts conversed due to Heavenly Venerate Zhulin's actions, a roar came from the eighth palace. The black-clothed Heavenly Venerate Zhulin was suddenly ejected from it, transforming into a long rainbow that rapidly descended from the sky, finally landing on the ground of the first palace.

The moment he landed, the Divine Thoughts of the surrounding Heavenly Venerates all vanished, and gazes converged upon him.

Heavenly Venerate Zhulin's expression was grim. Without even glancing around, he walked forward, flashed past Wang Lin, found an area in the distance, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to meditate.

In the time that followed, Wang Lin saw the palaces in the sky continuously flash with golden light, while people also continuously failed and descended. Most, like Heavenly Venerate Zhulin, stopped at the eighth layer, while the fewest failed at the second or third layer.

Wang Lin was not in a hurry to challenge. Instead, he sat cross-legged, continuously observing. The surrounding Heavenly Venerate Cultivators came and went during these three days, but the vast majority did not leave, choosing to remain here.

Within three days, Heavenly Venerate Zhulin challenged the eighth palace again, but still failed.

On the fourth day, Wang Lin's eyes flickered. He rose from his cross-legged position and walked towards the first palace. His actions did not attract too much attention, as the first layer palace was too simple for the Cultivators here.

Only those Heavenly Venerate Cultivators who had fought Wang Lin cast their gazes over as Wang Lin entered the first layer palace.

"Since this white-haired Heavenly Venerate is challenging the first layer palace, he must be here for the first time. I wonder how many layers he can pass."

"This person is very strange. His cultivation is ordinary, but his battle power is extremely astonishing. I am not his match. I wonder how many layers he can pass."

"Wang Lin… has been renowned in Nanzhou for decades. It is said that Great Heavenly Venerate Daoyi once tried to recruit him, but he refused." Over a dozen gazes accompanied Wang Lin as he disappeared outside the palace.

The moment he stepped into the first layer palace, Wang Lin immediately felt a sense of the universe changing before his eyes. He personally saw that the palace was actually a starry sky!

The starry sky was vast and boundless, containing countless stars, each emitting brilliant starlight, and he stood within this starry sky.

A strange howl suddenly came from within this starry sky. Wang Lin abruptly looked up, and a cold glint instantly flashed in his eyes!
