Chapter 1905: Immortal Astral, tenth sun, Donglin Pool
Wang Lin opened his eyes abruptly. His eyes were bloodshot, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his face was pale. It was as if he had lost some strength, and an extremely weak feeling permeated his entire body.
"Master!" Liu Jinbiao immediately stepped forward, his eyes filled with shock and anxiety.
"How long have I closed my eyes?" Wang Lin panted heavily. It seemed as if even breathing was difficult for him at this moment, as if he had become a Mortal. It took a long time before he raised his right hand to signal that he was unharmed.
"You… you just closed your eyes, and it was as if your entire being ceased to exist. The moment I turned to look, you… woke up…" Liu Jinbiao hesitated for a moment before speaking truthfully.
"An instant?" Wang Lin was stunned. He had practiced Dao in his dreams many times and knew that every time he would be immersed in it for a period of time; it was absolutely impossible for it to be only an instant. He glanced at Liu Jinbiao and fell silent.
In his mind, the blurry phantom he had seen within the dream-Dao appeared. He couldn't even clearly see the other person's appearance or the outline of their body… He only vaguely remembered that such a person seemed to have appeared… But upon careful thought, it became blurry again, as if he had misremembered.
This feeling was as if his memories had been tampered with, causing Wang Lin's mind to tremble.
"If what I saw in the dream-Dao actually happened, then who… is he…" Wang Lin thought of the intense pain from before, as well as the feeling of powerlessness and weakness after waking up. He had never experienced such a thing. It was as if, in that instant, he had a vague illusion that he was going to die. This illusion was something even the Three Lives Technique could not help with. If he were to truly die, it would be a real death…
After a long time, Wang Lin's complexion gradually recovered. He sat there, glanced at the Donglin Sect, and a sharp light slowly appeared in his eyes.
"One day, I will know what secrets are hidden within this!"
His gaze flashed. Wang Lin stood up and stepped directly into the Donglin Pool. He sat cross-legged in the pool water, which submerged his waist, and waves of coldness permeated into Wang Lin's body.
In this pool water, Wang Lin took a deep breath. He no longer thought about the secrets of the Donglin Sect, but calmed his heart. While breathing, he circulated his entire cultivation, silently appearing to merge with the pool water.
He had experienced this feeling years ago, but now that he was truly in the pool water, the moment he merged with it, Wang Lin's entire being was suddenly immersed in a strange state.
This state was similar to the atmosphere Wang Lin had entered when he created the Fading Night Divine Ability, only this time, by utilizing the strange power contained within the pool water, it forcibly allowed Wang Lin to step into it instantly.
In that state, Wang Lin was immersed in confusion; it seemed as if a long time had passed, yet it also felt like only an instant.
Opening his eyes, Wang Lin's gaze was somewhat dazed. A moment later, he recovered and looked down at the pool water beneath him; it had already decreased by nearly thirty percent.
"Master, this time from closing your eyes to waking up, it took three breaths of time." Before Wang Lin could ask, Liu Jinbiao immediately spoke from the side.
Wang Lin nodded.
"Did I fail… I only stayed in that state for three breaths, yet I gained nothing…" Wang Lin frowned. He vaguely felt that the many Origins within his body had all increased by a sliver, though not much.
"The Donglin Sect Old Ancestor once said that this Donglin Pool is related to the soul of the extraterrestrial Cultivator sealed in the Dasheng Continent. There is a certain chance here to comprehend the special Origin of that extraterrestrial Cultivator…
I didn't even see what his Origin was, and this first time was a failure… The Donglin Sect Old Ancestor once said that there are only two chances for comprehension in the pool water, and the third time, one will definitely die suddenly… Why would death occur? If I could figure this out, perhaps I could comprehend a few more times…" Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes again in the pool water.
The instant his eyes closed, he entered that strange state again. This time, while in this state, Wang Lin still felt dazed, his vision was blurry, and even his consciousness seemed to become unclear.
However, he could vaguely feel a strange power passing into his body from the outside world. It was just that he could only feel it; when he truly wanted to grasp it, there was no trace of it whatsoever.
He didn't know how much time had passed. While in this daze, Wang Lin suddenly seemed to see a ray of light in his left eye. This light was very faint, so much so that if one didn't look carefully, it would be hard to see. The appearance of this light immediately attracted Wang Lin's entire focus, but this light could only be seen by his left eye; inside his right eye, everything remained blurry, and nothing could be seen at all.
This extremely bizarre change caused Wang Lin's mind to tremble, but he still focused his concentration and extended it toward the light seen in his left eye.
It was just that the light seemed to be very, very far away. Before Wang Lin could clearly reach it, his mind trembled, and he suddenly woke up from that state.
The moment he opened his eyes, Liu Jinbiao's voice came to his ears.
"Master, this time it was five breaths…"
Wang Lin gazed at the distant sky and remained silent for a long time. In his mind, the light he had just seen with his left eye remained.
"The left eye can see it, but the right eye cannot… This Donglin Pool is more difficult than I imagined." Wang Lin looked at the pool water and discovered that now, less than thirty percent of the water remained in the pool.
"I wonder if this pool water will reappear after it is used up… Besides, I have already comprehended twice, and both failed. I don't know what dangers will arise this third time." While pondering, Wang Lin raised his right hand and waved it. Immediately, the Golden Venerable Sea Dragon roared out, circling in the sky, its body having shrunk quite a bit.
Once this Golden Venerable Sea Dragon came out, it immediately glared fiercely at Liu Jinbiao, growling in a low voice, its expression quite arrogant.
Liu Jinbiao was stunned. Looking at the Sea Dragon, he gasped, but as his eyes rolled, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, and it was unknown what thoughts he harbored.
Wang Lin didn't pay much attention to it and sent out a Divine Thought, telling the Sea Dragon that if it saw something amiss, it should immediately help him out. Afterward, his gaze flashed, and he closed his eyes again, for the third time, immersing himself in that strange state.
This time, the moment Wang Lin entered that state, the instant the power contained within the pool water merged into his body, it suddenly transformed into waves of repulsive force. It even gathered together within Wang Lin's body, turning into a roar and bellow that echoed in his mind.
This roaring sound was extremely real, containing a sense of madness and unwillingness!!
"Lian Yun Jue, you are despicable!!" This voice rapidly echoed within Wang Lin's mind, as if turning into a thunderous roar, causing Wang Lin's entire body to tremble suddenly. Under that voice, it seemed as if his mind was about to collapse.
Under the interference of this voice, he was completely unable to immerse himself in that state, let alone continue his comprehension.
Just at this moment, a great force suddenly came from the outside, as if a giant claw had grabbed Wang Lin and quickly moved his body out of the Donglin Pool.
After leaving the pool water, the voice in his mind suddenly disappeared. Wang Lin opened his eyes, looked at the pool water, and his expression turned gloomy.
"As expected, it is impossible to conduct a third comprehension. If I hadn't prepared in advance and if the Donglin Sect Old Ancestor hadn't warned me, then suddenly, even if it wouldn't have a huge impact, I would still have needed to expend some energy to leave." Wang Lin frowned, sitting beside the pool water, looking at the little water remaining, his eyes filled with contemplation.
"Why was it not like this the first and second time, but only the third time… That voice just now was produced after the strange power from the pool water entered my body and condensed. This strange power first circulated through my body once… Could the key be here? This circle of circulation is like checking how many times I have entered this place?"
"Then, what does it use to determine the specific number of times I have comprehended? And that Lian Yun Jue, with the surname Lian… Could it be the ancestor of Lian Daofei, the name of the Immortal Ancestor from back then?" Wang Lin's gaze flickered as he stared at the pool water, pondering continuously. During his contemplation, perhaps because his body had left the Donglin Pool, the pool water slowly welled up, gradually recovering to its previous water level, as if the previous disappearance had completely recovered.
"Jinbiao, you go down and try." Wang Lin had confidence that he could protect Liu Jinbiao so that even the third time would be safe. While speaking, he told Liu Jinbiao about the crisis he had encountered earlier, so he would be careful.
Liu Jinbiao did not hesitate. He took a step and sat cross-legged in the pool water.
Four breaths later, he opened his eyes in a daze.
"I saw a ray of light…" Liu Jinbiao murmured as he closed his eyes again. This time, it took him five breaths of time. The moment he opened his eyes, a ray of bright light clearly flashed across his left eye before quickly disappearing.
"It is very, very close to that light, but I still haven't managed to reach it…" Liu Jinbiao pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes again, following Wang Lin's request to conduct the third comprehension.
Wang Lin stared intently at Liu Jinbiao. Time passed slowly: one breath, two breaths, three breaths… Until after ten breaths, Liu Jinbiao's body trembled violently. Wang Lin did not hesitate; he raised his right hand and instantly moved him out of the pool.
While trembling, Liu Jinbiao opened his eyes. His left eye shone with immense light; even Wang Lin felt as if he were looking at the sun after one glance.
"I touched that ray of light, and a voice echoed in my mind, as if telling me the name of this light. This is the Primordial Origin… the beginning of all things… However, my cultivation is insufficient; I only comprehended a little before I couldn't bear it anymore." Liu Jinbiao took a deep breath and looked at the Donglin Pool.
"Master, I feel that the reason I was able to feel that light on the third time is because of my Dao of Deception. I deceived myself in an instant, telling myself that this was my first time coming in… By using this method, I even deceived the inspection of this pool water. After my Reincarnation and awakening, the Dao of Deception can also be used to help others. Does Master want to try it?" Liu Jinbiao seemed to have realized something and looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin pondered for a short while, then shook his head. He also had some understanding of the Dao of Deception, and having felt it in the dream-Dao, now that he knew the method, with his own cultivation of the heart, he did not need Liu Jinbiao's help.
Taking a step, Wang Lin immersed himself in the pool water for the fourth time. Using a similar method, the moment the strange power in the pool water passed into him, he deceived its inspection and once again immersed himself in that state.
Very quickly, he saw that ray of light in his left eye… This light was getting closer and closer to him.
"Du walks between the heavens, observing the changes of billions of first suns, realizing the Primordial Origin…" In Wang Lin's mind, a low voice gradually emerged, as if it were muttering to itself.
