Chapter 191: Ancient God Land (End)
Wang Lin only clearly remembered the number of ice crystals he had undergone Fusion with.
After the seventieth ice crystal, each Fusion required several times the amount of time to be completely absorbed.
The further he went, the more memories the ice crystals contained. At the same time, each time he emerged from his cocoon, Wang Lin would immediately observe his Physical Body. As he gained more Legacy, he already knew that his previous conjecture was correct: the star points indeed represented a Physical Body reconstruction.
The star points between his eyebrows deepened in color with each ice crystal Fusion. At the same time, Wang Lin also clearly felt that his Physical Body, with each Fusion, would undergo subtle adjustments as the memories increased. In this way, after more than seventy adjustments, its hardness and strength increasingly moved towards a path similar to Ancient God Body Refining.
Although his Physical Body appeared ordinary from the outside, all the substances within it had undergone unimaginable changes. By now, he had undergone Fusion with seventy ice crystals, and his Physical Body was already extremely defensive.
Wang Lin's eyes flickered. He touched his arm, wondering in his heart if his current Physical Body could withstand a full-strength attack from a Core Formation Cultivator. After a brief deliberation, Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he slowly nodded.
Time flowed. On this day, in the Ancient God Land where the Legacy of memories was stored, there were no ice crystals left, only a dark blue giant cocoon floating in the very center. This cocoon was not ordinary; it was covered with fine cracks. If one looked closely, they would find that these patterns were identical to the marks on Ancient God Tu Si's body.
This giant cocoon had been here for countless years without any signs of breaking. Everything around it seemed to be frozen by some mysterious power, unchanged for countless years.
Wang Lin's Physical Body lay flat inside the cocoon, his eyes tightly shut. His heartbeat had stopped many years ago, and his entire being was in a virtual state similar to death.
His Divine Sense was currently in chaos. The time spent on the Fusion of this last ice crystal had, so far, exceeded the sum of the previous ninety-three.
His consciousness was immersed in the Ancient God's memories. He saw the Ancient God's entire life, from Tu Si's birth until he decided to inverse Cultivate the Molten Flow Soul Transformation Art. He felt as if he had personally experienced this series of events, and in the end, Wang Lin even had a feeling that he was the Ancient God.
This sense of confusion was something he had always tried to avoid, but at this moment, at the instant all the memories finally integrated, it erupted uncontrollably.
Thus, Wang Lin's consciousness remained in a dormant state. After an unknown period, the giant cocoon in the Ancient God Legacy Land suddenly emitted a "crack".
Immediately after, continuous cracking sounds emanated from within the giant cocoon. Fine fractures appeared from the cracked patterns on the giant cocoon, as if the original patterns had turned into tiny Rifts. Soon, the entire giant cocoon, with a "bang", began to collapse outwards.
At this instant, a naked man with white hair and black eyes suddenly emerged from the giant cocoon. Although his appearance was ordinary, he possessed an indescribable temperament. At this moment, his eyes were tightly shut, his heart had stopped beating, and he showed no signs of life.
After a long while, his eyes suddenly opened, seemingly containing infinite power, with clouds and mist rolling through his pupils.
Wang Lin slowly exhaled. He looked down at his Physical Body. After undergoing Fusion with the ninety-fourth ice crystal, he could clearly feel the strength of this body. Although he hadn't tested it and couldn't estimate its exact limits, Wang Lin believed that this body would definitely increase his chances of future survival severalfold.
Recalling the Fusion of the last ice crystal, he still felt a lingering fear. If he hadn't been cautious since undergoing Fusion with the fiftieth-plus ice crystal, slowing down the Fusion speed to thoroughly absorb everything and laying a solid foundation, then at the moment the last ice crystal erupted, he would have probably completely lost himself and become a madman who believed he was Ancient God Tu Si.
It was precisely because of his prior foundation that he ultimately overcame the difficulty, awakened his own consciousness, and regained clarity.
Wang Lin's eyes flickered. The Incantations and Hand Seals in his mind were almost complete, but he had a hint of doubt. According to the Ancient God's memories in his mind, there was only a record from his birth until he prepared to Cultivate the Molten Flow Soul Transformation Art. However, the section about Cultivating this art and his eventual death was blank.
Wang Lin pondered for a moment. He carefully surveyed his surroundings. He had a bold guess: the number of ice crystals should not be ninety-four; it was very likely there were a few more, but probably not too many.
But why weren't those extra ones here? Wang Lin frowned slightly. After a brief silence, he gave up on considering this question. Instead, he formed strange Hand Seals with both hands and, speaking in the unique language of the Ancient God race, declared: "Open!"
Immediately, an arc-shaped Rift suddenly appeared before him, and within it, three black-glowing stones quietly floated.
Wang Lin grabbed with his right hand, and the three stones were immediately caught in his grasp. Then, he took a step forward, and ripples like lake water appeared beneath his feet. One step, two steps, three steps.
After three steps, his body instantly vanished from this place where the Ancient God's memory Legacy was stored.
Those three stones were precisely the essential materials for making Restriction Banners: Inkstone!
Within Ancient God Tu Si's Meridians, there was a Rift containing countless Restrictions. These Restrictions were arranged in a ring, emitting waves of dangerous aura. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared outside these Restrictions. This person had white hair and eyes filled with a sense of vicissitude.
After appearing, he stared at the Restrictions, his eyes flickering. After observing for a moment and confirming there were no changes, he walked forward. The Restrictions seemed to have lost their effect, not triggering any attacks. As he walked, with each step, a Restriction dissipated. When he reached the very center of the Restriction encirclement, all the Restrictions along the way automatically vanished.
He was Wang Lin. As for these Restrictions, they were personally set up by Wang Lin when he left, to protect his Physical Body and Storage Pouch.
Although he considered this place very safe, as it wasn't truly within the Meridians but rather in a Rift opened within them using methods from the Ancient God's memories, Wang Lin's cautious nature led him to still leave many protective measures.
After entering the Restrictions, Wang Lin looked at the Physical Body and Storage Pouch he had left there, his eyes filled with emotion. His previous Physical Body had long since decayed, leaving only a mummified corpse. This corpse emitted waves of Spiritual Qi, obviously emanating from the Golden Core remaining within the body.
Beside the mummified corpse were several Storage Pouches.
Wang Lin sighed inwardly. If he hadn't undergone Physical Body reconstruction after obtaining the Ancient God's memory Legacy, he would probably need to find another Physical Body now.
He lightly tapped the chest of the mummified corpse with his right hand. Immediately, dense spiritual power emanated from within the corpse. Following this, cracks began to appear from its feet and hands, spreading upwards. As they spread, the spiritual power fluctuations within grew stronger and stronger. Finally, the entire body of the mummified corpse shattered, and at the same time, a fist-sized Golden Core floated up from within it.
On the shattered mummified corpse, faint blue specks were vaguely visible, densely scattered among the fragments, occasionally flashing with strange light.
The moment he saw the Golden Core, Wang Lin felt a sense of blood merging with water. After all, this Golden Core was condensed by him, and there was a connection that even time could not sever.
Immediately after, Wang Lin grabbed with his right hand, and the Golden Core instantly flew towards his hand. The instant it touched his finger, the Golden Core suddenly vanished, burrowing into Wang Lin's body, quickly circulating along his arm to his Dantian, where it finally stopped and slowly rotated.
Waves of spiritual power immediately circulated within Wang Lin's Physical Body. He slightly closed his eyes, quietly comprehending for a moment, then opened his eyes and looked at the mummified corpse on the ground, which barely retained a human shape but was completely shattered. His eyes flashed, and forming a Hand Seal with his right hand, he low-growled: "Yellow Springs Flame, appear!"
As soon as he spoke, those blue specks from the corpse's body, which had shattered into dust, rapidly floated up, coalescing together. Slowly, they formed a ball of blue flame.
Wang Lin opened his mouth and inhaled, and the flame immediately flew into his mouth. After merging into his body, it disappeared within the Golden Core.
Then, Wang Lin waved his right hand, and the Storage Pouches on the corpse immediately flew up, one by one, into his grasp. Immediately after, a flash of white light appeared in his hand, revealing a set of black robes. After putting them on, Wang Lin put away the Storage Pouches, and with a grab into the Void Realm beside him, a Rift immediately appeared. Without any hesitation, he stepped in.
When he reappeared, he was back in the place where the memory Legacy was stored. Wang Lin took a deep breath, looked around, and after confirming it was the same as when he left, he quickly formed Hand Seals in front of him and recited several complex and abstruse words in the Ancient God's language.
As his Hand Seals changed, layers of shimmering, scale-like imagery appeared in the Void Realm before him. The abstruse words from his mouth were like a pair of invisible large hands waving within this shimmering light. In this way, the expansion of the light grew larger and larger, and finally, the illusory image of Ancient God Tu Si suddenly appeared upon the shimmering light.
Wang Lin was too familiar with Ancient God Tu Si. Despite the waves of pressure emanating from the Ancient God's illusory image, there was no fluctuation in his heart.
After this illusory image appeared, the eight purple star points between its eyebrows suddenly rotated, and then shot out eight rays of starlight. When they landed on the shimmering light, they formed a giant octagonal Vortex.
Wang Lin stared at Tu Si's illusory image and silently thought, "Ancient God Land, farewell!"
