Chapter 1892: The Immortal Astral’s tenth sun, Whose Severed Palm Is It!

"Sect…" Wang Lin awoke from his meditation, a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"I come from the Seven Dao Sect," Wang Lin said calmly after a long while.

"Seven Dao Sect?" Heavenly Venerate Haizi thought for a moment. Among all the powerful Sects she remembered, there didn't seem to be one called Seven Dao Sect.

"The Seven Dao Sect of the Eastern State, a very small Sect…" Wang Lin sighed inwardly. Being asked about his Sect at this moment stirred a feeling of homesickness within him.

"I don't have a Sect. I followed my Master since I was young and grew up on Emperor Mountain," Heavenly Venerate Haizi said softly.

"Emperor Mountain is very beautiful. Every season, the mountain is covered in red leaves, as if it's on fire… If you have a chance, you can go see Emperor Mountain."

As the two spoke softly, a special atmosphere seemed to permeate the hundred-zhang area.

"With your Heavenly Venerate battle strength, the Great Heavenly Venerate Dao Yi of the Southern State must have tried to recruit you. Did you… agree?" Heavenly Venerate Haizi's beautiful eyes gazed at Wang Lin.

"No," Wang Lin shook his head.

"My Master is a very kind person… Why don't you follow him…?" Hearing Wang Lin's words, Heavenly Venerate Haizi smiled, blinked, and said softly.

"I haven't considered it yet," Wang Lin replied tactfully, without directly refusing.

"How many years have you cultivated the Dao?" Heavenly Venerate Haizi suddenly asked this question for some unknown reason.

"It shouldn't be longer than you," Wang Lin frowned.

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Venerate Haizi immediately covered her mouth and giggled. This was the first time she had done so in this year.

"With your cultivation and Heavenly Venerate battle strength, and not being anxious at all about being trapped here, you probably don't have a Dao Companion. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so unconcerned about when you'll escape," Heavenly Venerate Haizi said with a giggle.

Wang Lin frowned again, glancing at the stunning woman before him. He vaguely felt that this woman seemed a bit strange, different from what he had perceived earlier.

"Seeing as we're both trapped here, and you didn't leave alone earlier, how about I introduce you to someone, Elder Brother?" Heavenly Venerate Haizi seemed very interested in this topic, sizing up Wang Lin.

"Ordinary appearance, but with a unique temperament, not bad.

Average cultivation, but possesses Heavenly Venerate battle strength, very good.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied. That's it then. After we escape, I'll help you find a Dao Companion, Elder Brother." Heavenly Venerate Haizi's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Wang Lin and lightly pursed her captivating lips.

"Put away your Charm Divine Ability!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed as he spoke slowly and coldly.

Heavenly Venerate Haizi raised an eyebrow, and just as she was about to speak, golden light suddenly burst from Wang Lin's eyes. Under that golden light, his expression was extremely majestic, and there was also a suppressive force that prevented Heavenly Venerate Haizi from speaking.

"If you're trapped here for too long and want someone to talk to, then I, Wang, will find you one!" As Wang Lin spoke, overlapping shadows immediately materialized from his body. It was his Slaughter Lightning True Body, which stepped out and sat cross-legged between him and Heavenly Venerate Haizi.

"You can converse with this Clone of mine. Do not disturb my cultivation!" A hint of coldness flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He stood up and walked backward, sitting down again in the farthest corner from Heavenly Venerate Haizi, closing his eyes to meditate and refine the third Mountain Sea Tree Spirit.

Heavenly Venerate Haizi was stunned, clearly not expecting Wang Lin to come up with such a method. She frowned, glanced at the cold True Body emanating a strong aura of slaughter and lightning, which was staring at her. She snorted lightly, closed her eyes, and also began to meditate.

"This Heavenly Venerate Haizi is strange!" Wang Lin's main body in the distance, when Heavenly Venerate Haizi closed her eyes to meditate, his pupils imperceptibly contracted.

"I originally thought that the severed palm had undergone some change, which is why it didn't come straight for me after appearing, but attacked her first… Now it seems there are some hidden secrets…" Heavenly Venerate Haizi's previous change was completely different from Wang Lin's impression of her, but he didn't detect any secrets like two souls in one body. Therefore, even when he swept her with his Immortal Extreme Sword gaze just now, he still didn't notice any clues.

"Heavenly Venerate Haizi initially felt normal, but just now she was a bit presumptuous." Wang Lin frowned, pondered for a moment, then no longer paid attention to the matter, immersing himself in absorbing the Mountain Sea Tree Spirit.

Three years passed in a flash.

For three years, Wang Lin completely ignored Heavenly Venerate Haizi, continuously absorbing the Mountain Sea Tree Spirit within his body, causing his Wood Origin power to grow steadily. After absorbing four Tree Spirits in three years, this Wood Origin power had already reached Minor Achievement.

Green patterns appeared on Wang Lin's skin. These patterns looked like plant veins, faintly visible, making Wang Lin's appearance somewhat eerie.

In these three years, Heavenly Venerate Haizi uncharacteristically didn't say a word. Like Wang Lin, she was immersed in meditation, her expression changing from time to time, as if cultivating some Cultivation Technique Divine Ability.

During these three years, almost every once in a while, muffled rumbling sounds would come from outside, as if a great force was impacting the light screen. As time passed, these rumblings became more frequent.

The hundred-zhang light screen also showed signs of shrinking during these three years.

In the fourth month after these three years, the rumbling inside the light screen suddenly became far more intense than before, interrupting Wang Lin's cultivation and causing him to abruptly look up.

The moment he looked up, Wang Lin's expression changed. He stood up and took a step forward. Almost at the instant his body moved, the hundred-zhang light screen suddenly shrank under the rumbling!

From a hundred zhang, it directly shrank by half, becoming fifty zhang! Heavenly Venerate Haizi also awoke, stepping forward with a changing expression.

The rumbling sound continued for about half an hour before slowly dissipating. The light screen protection was now only fifty zhang! A distance of fifty zhang was already extremely close for Wang Lin and Heavenly Venerate Haizi. Their gazes met.

"This protective light screen seems unable to last even a hundred years… I've already condensed and shrunk it to resist that severed palm, but even so, after three years, it still became fifty zhang… If it were still the nearly ten thousand zhang from before, dispersed as it was, it might have already been broken now." Heavenly Venerate Haizi's expression and words were different again from several years ago; she seemed to have returned to normal now.

"I'm afraid it won't be long before this fifty-zhang range shrinks further, until the light screen collapses…" Heavenly Venerate Haizi frowned, a look of helplessness on her face.

Wang Lin's eyes flickered with cold light as he looked above the light screen, once again seeing a blurry figure in the darkness outside. That figure was hidden there, seemingly meeting his gaze.

At the instant their gazes met, Wang Lin's mind trembled, as if the gaze outside the light screen contained a strange power that could pull his mind away, and it transformed into a restless feeling that permeated Wang Lin's entire body.

Golden light suddenly flashed in Wang Lin's eyes, and he immediately became clear-headed.

"It's always watching us… observing our every move, it's been like this for several years," Heavenly Venerate Haizi said softly, a look of fear in her eyes.

"It's a severed palm!" Wang Lin said slowly.

"Then, whose severed palm is it?!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed. While Heavenly Venerate Haizi was stunned, his body immediately flew up, heading straight for the top.

Wang Lin's sudden action immediately made Heavenly Venerate Haizi worried. Her body swayed, about to follow.

"Don't come up. If you find anything wrong with me, immediately wake me up!" Wang Lin didn't look back, but his voice echoed in Heavenly Venerate Haizi's mind.

Heavenly Venerate Haizi's delicate body paused. Watching Wang Lin's back heading straight for the top, for some reason, this same back reminded her of the scene several years ago outside, when Wang Lin stood in front of her.

Wang Lin instantly approached the edge of the light screen above. At that edge, less than three inches from his face was the light screen. At this position, almost at the moment he arrived, the blurry phantom outside the light screen suddenly moved and rushed straight towards Wang Lin.

Outside the light screen, this blurry figure suddenly paused, also only three inches away from the light screen, and less than six inches from Wang Lin, separated by the light screen!

It was a faceless face, bloody and terrifying, yet filled with an indescribable majesty. It was only a blurry illusion, not very clear. Only the left hand of this figure was extremely solid, as if it truly existed, possessing skin!

The moment he vaguely saw the figure's face, Wang Lin's eyes suddenly contracted, revealing an expression of disbelief. His mind roared as if countless thunders were booming, and his body violently trembled!

The blurry, skinless face, its eyes, at this instant, emitted a strange light, heading straight for the light screen three inches away, as if trying to penetrate and rush into Wang Lin's eyes.

Wang Lin's mind boomed, losing all consciousness at this instant. In his mind, only that strange gaze transformed into a pair of eternal eyes. Those eyes carried an indescribable eeriness, turning into a voice that echoed in Wang Lin's mind.

"Come… come… come…"

The moment this voice reverberated, a thunderous heartbeat suddenly erupted from within Wang Lin's body. This booming sound continuously opposed that voice, causing Wang Lin to suddenly awaken. As he awoke, Heavenly Venerate Haizi's anxious exclamation came from his ears, and even a fragrant breeze swept over as Heavenly Venerate Haizi had already stepped closer.

"I'm fine," Wang Lin said slowly. He was now only an inch away from the light screen. If he moved forward a bit more, he seemed about to penetrate and leave the light screen!

The moment Wang Lin awoke, the blurry figure outside the light screen let out a roaring howl, violently crashing against the light screen, as if trying to rush in. The light screen flickered intensely, but it did not break.

"Immortal Ancestor…" Wang Lin's gaze, through the fluctuating light screen, fell upon the frantically crashing figure.
