Chapter 1903: Immortal Astral, tenth sun, The Aura of Heavenly Fate Child! (Third Update)

"I have been studying this sentence for countless years. I want to know who is the person that destroyed my Donglin Sect, and what kind of intentions they had!"

"My Donglin Sect has always been peaceful and kept to itself. Our sect rules are strict, and few Disciples go outside, let alone make enemies. Even I have made many friends on the Immortal Astral and have devoted myself to the Dao."

"But even so, the Donglin Sect, my home… was still destroyed by someone… I went to seek the Great Heavenly Venerate to deduce the changes in the world, but I could not calculate the Karma of my Donglin Sect…"

"I visited all five Great Heavenly Venerates, as well as the Imperial City's National Teacher, but the result was the same. Only the National Teacher spat out a mouthful of blood during the deduction, his expression revealing fear… But that fear dissipated in an instant, and was replaced by confusion…"

"He was confused for three days, and I watched him for three days. After three days, he woke up, but had forgotten the result he had deduced for me. It was as if an invisible force had erased his memories of those few days…" The old man murmured, his eyes filled with sorrow, revealing a bone-deep hatred and madness.

"I cannot fathom that stone stele… but I have imprinted the handwriting into my Soul. This is the only clue I have to find that person!" The old man took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"Do you want to see that stone stele…" After a long while, he spoke hoarsely.

Wang Lin's expression was calm, and he nodded.

The old man, who had his eyes closed, seemed to perceive this. He raised his right hand and waved it violently. With this wave, an aura of decay and death immediately permeated the main hall. The entire hall seemed to have experienced the passage of time, suddenly passing through countless tens of thousands of years, going from brilliance to decay in an instant.

The hall was covered in dust, the pillars had cracks, and even the three statues behind the old man changed, becoming dilapidated.

Cracks appeared on the ground beneath the old man, as if showing signs of becoming a ruin. Not only that, the surrounding area was the same. It seemed this wind of decay, centered on this main hall, swept outwards across the entire Donglin Sect.

Outside the main hall, the plaza shattered and filled with dust. Every palace and pavilion became ancient in an instant. The green mountains were no more, becoming dead mountains; the green waters dried up, and even where there was some left, it emitted a foul stench.

And those Donglin Sect Disciples, even the two Golden Venerate Cultivators, all disappeared and ceased to exist. In an instant, the entire Donglin Sect turned into a dead land.

Only those skeleton-like remains, on this land, in those dwellings, filled the area…

Liu Jinbiao stood outside the main hall, blankly watching all of this. His pupils constricted, and he froze there. He finally understood why he had had that strange feeling. Beside him lay a skeleton, its hollow eye sockets seemingly looking at him, and also seemingly looking at the heavens…

A huge stone stele, after being swept by the wind of decay in this Donglin Sect, stood tall in the plaza outside the Donglin Hall. It was over a hundred zhang tall, as if it had appeared out of thin air!

On that stone stele, there was a line of blood-red words!

"Lock the fate of the heavens, Seal the underworld dynasty, those among all living beings who cannot attain the True Dao shall forever sink in the bitter sea, forever lose the True Dao, and serve the path of cultivation!"

The blood-red words were no longer bright red; they had long since dried, becoming a dark brown. A terrifying aura that could not be described spread from the stone stele. While covering the entire Donglin Sect, it also made the sky change color, turning into a gloomy darkness, as if a large hand had covered the eyes of the sky in this instant.

It was as if this power, at this moment, made the heavens blind!

"It is this stone stele…" The old man stared fixedly at the stone stele outside the hall door behind Wang Lin.

Wang Lin turned around and looked at the stone stele. The moment he saw this stele, a roar erupted in his mind.

He had seen such a stone stele before! He had seen it in the Seven-Colored Realm of the Immortal Cave Realm!

He had originally thought that the stone stele in the Seven-Colored Realm was created by the Venerable Master, but now it seemed that everything was completely different from what he had thought, absolutely not!!

What shook Wang Lin's heart even more was the handwriting on the stone stele. Wang Lin was familiar with this kind of handwriting. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, as if he had seen someone write it personally somewhere before!

Handwriting can be imitated, but the aura on the handwriting is extremely difficult to imitate. What Wang Lin was familiar with was not just the handwriting, but also the aura on the handwriting!!

"Heaven… Heavenly Fate Child…" Wang Lin froze there. How could he forget this aura? This aura was from a person he feared greatly in the Immortal Cave Realm, in his entire life!!

This person was a part of the Heavenly Dao. This person had already been destroyed by Wang Lin, but Wang Lin had suspected back then that Heavenly Fate Child was not dead!!

This handwriting and aura were not the same as the stone stele in the Seven-Colored Realm—they were written by two different people—but the appearance of this stone stele at this moment made Wang Lin's clarity regarding the Immortal Cave Realm immediately blur.

"Immortal Cave Realm… Immortal Astral… Donglin Sect… The only person who has connections to all three places is the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable!! But that Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable split his Soul into three, and I already destroyed him… The third soul is Su Dao… I even came to this Donglin Sect in that illusion back then…

But why… why does this sentence appear here? This stone stele, why does such a stone stele also exist in the Immortal Cave Realm!! What is going on here…" Wang Lin stared blankly at the stone stele, his eyes revealing confusion.

"Who destroyed the Donglin Sect and left such a stone stele here!"

"That handwriting and aura belong to Heavenly Fate Child, but how could he come to this Immortal Astral, and why would he destroy the Donglin Sect!!"

"And that Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable, I thought he was dead, but… is he really dead…"

"The Immortal Cave Realm is by no means that simple. What kind of secret is hidden within it!!"

"What I discovered back then, I thought was everything, but it was not. What I discovered was only the edge of a final secret!! I stood on the mountain, thinking I saw the whole world, but I did not know that in the sky behind the mountain, there was a pair of eyes watching my whole world!" Wang Lin felt his whole body turn cold in an instant.

"If you see the same handwriting and aura in this life, please tell me…" The old man's hoarse, sorrowful voice came from behind Wang Lin.

"Please, be sure to tell me. If I can take revenge and end my attachments, I can become a slave until I die for the one who provides me with a clue…" The old man spoke slowly, revealing a heaven-shaking determination and belief.

As the old man spoke, he raised his right hand and waved it again. A gentle breeze swept by, and the main hall returned to its previous appearance. The green mountains were still green, the green waters were still clear, and the sounds of birds and flowers filled the Donglin Sect once again. The Disciples appeared one by one, never knowing they had died, living happily in this Donglin Sect amidst the vibrant vitality.

Outside the main hall, the stone stele disappeared, and the skeletons everywhere were gone. Liu Jinbiao stared blankly at the place where the stone stele had been, and suddenly felt a sense of hair-raising fear.

"This… what kind of ghost place is this…" Liu Jinbiao's heart skipped a beat. He looked around, and especially after his gaze swept over some of the Donglin Sect Disciples, that feeling of fear became even more intense.

"I will." Inside the hall, Wang Lin spoke calmly, his expression revealing none of the turmoil currently in his heart.

The old man looked at Wang Lin for a long time, then lowered his head, hiding the sorrow and loneliness in his eyes. But even with his head lowered, the sadness on his body was still too thick to melt away.

"Did you come to the Donglin Sect because you were passing by, or do you have some ulterior motive…" The old man said hoarsely.

"I want to borrow the Donglin Pool!" Wang Lin suppressed the shock in his heart. These things made him feel strange and also alarmed.

"Donglin Pool…" The old man was silent for a moment, then nodded gently.

"There is strange water in the Donglin Pool. That pool water connects with the earth and has some connection with the extraterrestrial spirit sealed under the Great Saint Continent… That sealed spirit is not a beast, but an extraterrestrial Cultivator…

This person was defeated by the Immortal Ancestor back then and was sealed here. He has long since died, but his Soul did not disappear after it dissipated; it merged with the earth veins and rivers. The Donglin Pool is a place where that river flows…

A Cultivator can only enter the Donglin Pool twice in their life. Once they enter for the third time, they will immediately die. My Donglin Sect possesses the Donglin Pool, and few outsiders know about it. But those who do know, after coming to our sect and paying a sufficient price, are allowed to enter the Donglin Pool.

There are rumors in the outside world, and even within our sect, that entering this pool can condense an Origin True Body, but this is false… If that were true, my Donglin Sect would have long ago become the number one sect of the Immortal Race, and we wouldn't be able to protect this Donglin Pool; it would have been taken away by a Great Heavenly Venerate.

Even so, it would still attract the attention of the Great Heavenly Venerates. It's just that out of respect for the first ancestor of the Donglin Sect, the Donglin Great Heavenly Venerate, and because this pool cannot be moved and its effects become weaker with the passage of time, no one comes to snatch it."

"Donglin Great Heavenly Venerate?" Wang Lin's eyes narrowed. This was the first time he had heard this name.

"The five Great Heavenly Venerates of the Immortal Race are not eternal; they also fall… Our first-generation ancestor of the Donglin Sect was once a Great Heavenly Venerate, but he fell… Now, even his corpse is nowhere to be found… Many people are looking for the ancestor's corpse, even the several Great Heavenly Venerates who appeared later are looking for it, but no one can find it…

There is a rumor that if one can find the ancestor's corpse, it might be possible to become a Great Heavenly Venerate without having to enter the Primordial God Realm for the trial… But that is just a rumor." The old man spoke calmly.

Wang Lin took a deep breath. He did not expect the Donglin Sect to have such a foundation, and even less did he expect that a Great Heavenly Venerate had once appeared here!

"The effect of the Donglin Pool is now very weak, and the idea of condensing a True Body is just a rumor. Its true function is to allow those who enter to reach a strange state. In that state, there is a certain chance to comprehend the special Origin possessed by that extraterrestrial Cultivator!

If one fails, it only makes one's Origin a bit denser."
