Chapter 1891: Immortal Astral’s tenth sun, one man and one woman

Outside the ten-thousand-zhang light screen, the severed palm that had been bombarding it suddenly pressed against the screen. Looking at it, the severed palm currently resembled a starfish.

Pressed so tightly against it, the strange mark in the center of the severed palm was clearly revealed before Wang Lin and Haizi Tianzun.

However, this alone was not enough to make their expressions change drastically. What truly shocked Wang Lin and Haizi Tianzun was that the severed palm suddenly swelled and expanded, transforming into a hundred zhang, then a thousand zhang in the blink of an eye!!

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the severed palm grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a size of ten thousand zhang, actually enveloping the entire semi-circular light screen!

As the severed palm expanded and seemed to devour the light screen, the entire screen flashed violently, creating numerous ripples. Then, the interior of the screen suddenly turned pitch black, devoid of any light.

Even so, for Wang Lin and Haizi Tianzun, they only needed to focus their cultivation into their eyes to see their surroundings clearly. In the silence, Wang Lin noticed his hair faintly floating upwards as if by an invisible wind.

"It has swallowed the protective light screen from my Jade Slip and is moving rapidly!" Haizi Tianzun's eyes flashed as she spoke slowly.

"What exactly is it!" Haizi Tianzun looked at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin, a hundred zhang away, lowered his head to look at his newly grown right hand. After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly.

"The Seal of the Mountain Sea Tree!"

Haizi Tianzun's face turned pale. With a bitter smile, she did not speak again but sat cross-legged, staring into the pitch-black surroundings, wondering what she was thinking.

Time passed slowly. Soon, the Soul Armor on Wang Lin's body slowly dissipated. As the Soul Armor faded, a deep sense of exhaustion flooded Wang Lin's mind.

"Your Master will likely not be able to find this place in a short time. The severed palm devouring this protective light screen must have blocked all external connections, just like a Seal." Wang Lin sighed, looking at the pitch-black space above, and said calmly.

"You could have just taken the Mountain Sea Tree Spirit, why did you have to provoke the Seal of the Mountain Sea Tree? This Seal was set by the Immortal Ancestor, you…" After a long while, Haizi Tianzun looked at Wang Lin with a complex expression.

"If I hadn't saved you, I would have already left the Mountain Sea by now." Wang Lin glanced at Haizi Tianzun and spoke slowly.

Haizi Tianzun fell silent.

Time passed silently once again in this stillness, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

During these three days, the two did not speak again. Haizi Tianzun would occasionally look up at the light screen above, her expression changing uncertainly. As for Wang Lin, he simply sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, taking out the few Mountain Sea Tree Spirits he had obtained and absorbing one into his body.

"Your cultivation is very strange. You are clearly only in the Early Stage of the Empty Tribulation Realm, yet you possess the combat power of a Tianzun. Although the Mountain Sea Tree Spirit can help a Cultivator condense the Wood Origin from the solid Origins, for a Cultivator at the Empty Tribulation Realm, even having a few more Origins is useless if they cannot reach Major Achievement!" After three days of silence, Haizi Tianzun could not help but speak softly when she saw Wang Lin absorbing the Mountain Sea Tree Spirit.

"I am different from you." Wang Lin did not explain much. He opened his eyes, swept his gaze over Haizi Tianzun, and said calmly.

"You don't seem worried or anxious at all being here?" Haizi Tianzun frowned.

Wang Lin remained silent, closed his eyes, and continued to absorb the Mountain Sea Tree Spirit into his body.

"My protective light screen has been swallowed. If what you said earlier is true, my Master will likely find it difficult to locate us in a short time. Even if he comes to the Mountain Sea, if this severed palm has gone elsewhere, it will take some time for him to find us. We have lost all contact with the outside world, aren't you worried?" Seeing that Wang Lin had closed his eyes and was ignoring her, Haizi Tianzun pouted and continued to speak.

Seeing that Wang Lin still didn't speak, Haizi Tianzun looked at him with her beautiful eyes. After a long while, her expression showed signs of frustration.

"There are only the two of us here. You don't speak, just like a piece of wood, watching me talk to myself. Is that very interesting!"

Wang Lin opened his eyes, feeling quite helpless inside, and looked at Haizi Tianzun.

"I actually find this environment quite good. I can Cultivate in peace, if only you didn't keep interrupting my practice."

"You!!" Haizi Tianzun immediately stood up, snorted softly, and her graceful, moving body turned and flickered, moving several thousand zhang away from Wang Lin. After putting a great distance between them, she ignored him.

Seeing Haizi Tianzun leave, Wang Lin closed his eyes and immersed himself in absorbing the Mountain Sea Tree Spirit within his body, but his Divine Sense spread out slightly, remaining very vigilant.

As for the Sea Dragon, it lay beside Wang Lin, staring fiercely at the octopus sea beast in the distance that was also staring fixedly at it. The two sea beasts did not roar at each other, but engaged in a battle of gazes, as if endless vicious words were contained within their eyes, exchanging back and forth, seemingly cursing and confronting each other with their gazes.

Time flowed on once again in this silence: ten days, twenty days, one month, two months, three months…

In the blink of an eye, four months had passed.

During these four months, Wang Lin did not speak a single word, immersed in absorbing the Mountain Sea Tree Spirit. A hint of green slowly appeared on his skin.

The Sea Dragon beside him, after four months of staring battle with the octopus sea beast, still did not feel tired. On the contrary, it was spirited and continued to stare fiercely.

It was the octopus sea beast that seemed somewhat tired, yet it did not back down, and they stared at each other for four consecutive months.

"Wang… Wang Lin, something is wrong…" One day after four months, Haizi Tianzun walked over from several thousand zhang away with a worried expression and sat down twenty zhang from Wang Lin.

Wang Lin opened his eyes and looked at Haizi Tianzun. Having not seen this woman for four months, her stunningly beautiful face now carried a trace of haggardness, yet despite this, she still possessed a beauty that made one's heart flutter.

"My Master cannot have failed to find us after four months… Once he, the elder, knows I am in crisis, even if that severed palm has left the Mountain Sea, Master will calculate its location. It is absolutely impossible that he has not appeared after four months." Haizi Tianzun did not hide her worry. Trapped here for four months, she had been unable to calm her mind and always felt a sense of foreboding.

"There are three possibilities." Wang Lin spoke calmly.

"First, this severed palm went to a place that no one can perceive, so even divination and calculation cannot determine its location!"

"Second, your Master is not as you think, and will not immediately come to save you."

"Impossible! If Master knows I am in danger, he will definitely come immediately! As for the first possibility you mentioned, that is also wrong. With Master's cultivation, there is no place on this Immortal land that he cannot calculate!" Haizi Tianzun spoke immediately. She looked at Wang Lin, hesitated slightly, and said again.

"You should have guessed it too; my Master is the Great Heavenly Venerate Jiu Di!"

Wang Lin's expression remained normal, without the slightest surprise. He had already seen the character 'Di' on the Medicinal Pill when Haizi Tianzun took it out earlier. After a moment of contemplation, he realized that someone capable of taking a Tianzun as a Disciple, and someone Haizi Tianzun was so certain could save her, must possess astonishing cultivation.

Combining these two factors, he naturally guessed that her Master was very likely a Great Heavenly Venerate. Among the Great Heavenly Venerates with 'Di' in their name, besides the possibility of the Immortal Emperor, there was also the Great Heavenly Venerate Jiu Di who was also in the Central Prefecture.

"If that is the case, then it is the third possibility. This severed palm swallowed the light screen containing us. Inside it, perhaps the passage of time is different from the outside world. Perhaps hundreds of years have passed here, while only one day has passed outside." Wang Lin spoke slowly, his voice unhurried.

Haizi Tianzun's face immediately turned pale. She was an extremely intelligent person, and she had also guessed this possibility. However, hearing that Wang Lin had the same thought, she was already sixty or seventy percent certain in her heart.

"Although this protective light screen was given to me by my Master, it cannot last for hundreds of years… Once the light screen breaks…" The terror of the severed palm appeared before Haizi Tianzun's eyes.

Just as the two were talking, the ten-thousand-zhang light screen suddenly shook, and a faint rumbling sound was heard. The range instantly shrank from ten thousand zhang to nine thousand zhang!

Moreover, in the pitch-black void outside the light screen, a blurry figure that could not be seen clearly appeared. The figure floated there, looking at Wang Lin and Haizi Tianzun inside the light screen, a ferocious aura faintly emanating from it.

"Discovered, not a spirit of the Immortal Astral, Seal!!" The blurry figure muttered to itself.

As the range of the light screen shrank, Haizi Tianzun suddenly looked up at the sky, as if she faintly saw the figure in the darkness outside the light screen.

"Shrink this light screen to one hundred zhang. That way, the resistance time will be longer." Wang Lin also saw the figure outside the light screen, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he spoke slowly.

While speaking, Wang Lin raised his right hand and waved towards the Sea Dragon. The Sea Dragon turned into a blue light and was taken away by Wang Lin. Haizi Tianzun hesitated slightly, but also chose to withdraw the octopus sea beast. With her hands performing Hand Seals, she pointed towards the surrounding light screen. Immediately, the light screen flashed and condensed, shrinking from nine thousand zhang to one hundred zhang in size.

In this way, only Wang Lin and Haizi Tianzun, one man and one woman, were left within this one hundred zhang space.

In silence, Haizi Tianzun sat in a corner, sighed softly, and began to sit cross-legged with her eyes closed.

Time flowed on: the fourth month, the sixth month… Soon, a year had passed.

A year's time, if it were in the outside world, would not be long, it would be very short. But for the man and woman trapped here, in this space of only one hundred zhang, it seemed to become somewhat long.

Wang Lin was better off; he was accustomed to loneliness. Using this year, he had fused two Mountain Sea Tree Spirits. Within his Five Elements Origins, the sprout of the Wood Origin had appeared and was growing rapidly.

But Haizi Tianzun, after eight months of silence, opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Wang Lin. The man before her made her feel both hatred and complexity.

"Since I began to Cultivate the Dao, I have never lived with a stranger within a hundred zhang for a year. You… I only know your name is Wang Lin, and that was only because you said it yourself back then. Which Sect do you come from?" Haizi Tianzun spoke softly.
