Chapter 1912: Immortal Astral, tenth sun, Stunning the World (V)

In the blurry sky of this Venerable Nirvana, the tenth-layer palace, which had not emitted a single ray of light for countless years, suddenly erupted with brilliant light at this moment.

The golden light spread like golden waves, constantly permeating the area and replacing the color in the pupils of every Cultivator present.

As the golden light spread, a huge figure faintly materialized from within it.

This figure was not Wang Lin, but a majestic shadow wearing a gold robe, exuding supreme majesty.

This shadow was extremely tall, standing like a giant between heaven and earth.

It appeared from within the golden light of the tenth layer and became increasingly solid in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the figure became completely clear.

He looked quite handsome and held a hint of vicissitudes, while also exuding a power sufficient to make all Immortals worship.

With that gold robe and even a golden imperial crown on his head, this person looked as if he were looking down upon the world.

The moment this figure appeared, the eight hundred Venerables below and the four Leap Venerables who had come here were all shaken to their core.

"It is the avatar of the Immortal Ancestor left behind in this Venerable Nirvana land!! It is said that this avatar has existed for eons and has separated from the Immortal Ancestor. Even if the Immortal Ancestor dies, this avatar will exist forever, fused with this Venerable Nirvana land!"

"The tenth layer is the watershed between Venerables and Leap Venerables. There has always been a rumor among our Immortal race that every Leap Venerable Cultivator must receive the Immortal Ancestor's conferment. I didn't expect this to be true!!"

"The tenth layer has been passed, and the Immortal Ancestor's avatar has materialized. From this moment on, Wang Lin has leaped over the Dragon gate and become a Leap Venerable Cultivator. He is no longer on the same level as us!"

"To be able to witness someone becoming a Leap Venerable and see the Immortal Ancestor's avatar conferment—this trip to the Venerable Nirvana land was not in vain!"

As the huge golden figure appeared, all the Cultivators below looked extremely respectful and bowed in unison toward the figure in the sky.

This bow was not forced by anyone; it was an action born of reverence from all the Immortal race Cultivators present!

"We, the younger generation of the Immortal race, pay our respects to the Immortal Ancestor!!"

The voices of all the Cultivators merged into one during this bow, echoing throughout the world of Venerable Nirvana.

Just as the Cultivators below were bowing in unison, a long rainbow flew out from the tenth-layer palace in front of the huge Immortal Ancestor avatar within the golden light.

The long rainbow revealed a figure within the golden light—it was Wang Lin.

This scene, falling into the eyes of all the Cultivators, seemed to become eternal.

In the sky, two golden figures, one large and one small, were less than a hundred feet apart, gazing at each other.

Wang Lin's face was slightly pale.

After he appeared, he immediately saw the huge golden figure in front of him.

After seeing its appearance clearly, his heart was shaken.

This figure was exactly the Immortal Ancestor he had seen twice before!!

Those golden eyes exuded endless majesty. In that instant, the gaze within them fell upon Wang Lin.

The gaze seemed to contain an indescribable, strange power.

While looking at Wang Lin, it also seemed to want to see through Wang Lin's body, to thoroughly perceive every secret hidden inside and out.

As Wang Lin's heart shook, he felt as if he were naked under this gaze.

Moreover, it was as if every secret within his heart was clearly revealed under this gaze!

Wang Lin had not anticipated this at all.

Even his Master, Great Heavenly Venerate Xuan Luo, had never imagined that Wang Lin could reach this step on the Immortal race land!

Consequently, the completely unprepared Wang Lin had his inner secrets exposed under this gaze in an instant.

Within this gaze, it was as if a large hand had appeared out of thin air in Wang Lin's mind, rapidly flipping through his memories, and all concealment was of no use!

Starting from his birth, it searched his memories rapidly!

There are currently only forty-eight Leap Venerable Cultivators in the entire Immortal race land.

For the Immortal race, Leap Venerables are extremely precious, second only to Great Heavenly Venerates, and are a force at the Peak of the entire Immortal race.

Even the Immortal Ancestor would value such Cultivators.

When creating this Venerable Nirvana, he had already considered that Cultivators from the Ancient race or from outside the heavens might change their Qi and come, mixing into the Immortal race, and even obtaining the title of Leap Venerable.

How could the Immortal Ancestor allow such a thing!

A Venerable might be fine, but this Leap Venerable must be a Cultivator of the Immortal Astral Continent!

And they must be native-born, without the slightest flaw.

That is why the story of passing the ten layers of Venerable Nirvana to become a Leap Venerable has been passed down, and it is used as the most authoritative proof on the Immortal race land!

Every Venerable Cultivator experiences this scene when becoming a Leap Venerable.

All forty-eight Leap Venerables currently on the Immortal race continent have gone through this.

This trial is extremely important.

If the Immortal Ancestor's avatar judges one to be an outside Cultivator or a Cultivator of the Ancient race, the matter will be spread immediately.

Not to mention Wang Lin, even a Great Heavenly Venerate would be unable to escape!

This Immortal Ancestor avatar will not take action, but once he discovers a flaw, those who will take action will be Leap Venerables, or even Great Heavenly Venerates will personally execute them!

In the gaze of the Immortal Ancestor's avatar, the moment Wang Lin's memories from childhood were being flipped open, suddenly, the Heaven Defying Bead that had undergone Fusion within his heart appeared in his body once again.

As it slowly rotated, it emitted a gentle power that enveloped Wang Lin's entire body.

In Wang Lin's silence, he saw that the Heaven Defying Bead seemed to create a memory out of thin air for the Immortal Ancestor's avatar to see.

No one knew what the Immortal Ancestor's avatar saw.

A moment later, the gaze that had fallen on Wang Lin slowly softened.

After a long time, under the gaze of all the Cultivators below, the Immortal Ancestor's avatar raised his left hand and waved it.

Instantly, a scroll like an imperial decree materialized out of thin air and fluttered in front of him.

On that scroll, there were forty-eight names.

Each name emitted dazzling light, and waves of pressure descended upon the world.

"The Leap Venerable Roll!!"

"Is this the legendary Leap Venerable Roll!!"

"It is rumored that every Leap Venerable Cultivator is personally appointed by the Immortal Ancestor and written on that Leap Venerable Roll.

This roll does not appear easily; it only manifests when a new Leap Venerable passes the tenth layer!"

"The Leap Venerable Roll—anyone whose name is written on it will receive the protection of the Immortal Ancestor.

This is the supreme honor for our Immortal race!!"

Except for the four Leap Venerables, the rest of the Cultivators below took a deep breath, their eyes filled with longing.

They were all Venerables, but even as Venerables, they did not have the qualifications to have their names written on this Leap Venerable Roll!

The Immortal Ancestor's avatar suddenly raised his right hand.

A golden pen seemed to appear in his hand, and he waved it over the scroll, writing down a line of Immortal race characters!

"Forty-ninth, Wang Lin."

The moment he finished the last stroke, the Immortal Ancestor's avatar's body slowly dissipated, turning back into golden light that enveloped the entire Venerable Nirvana land.

Until the Immortal Ancestor's avatar had completely dispersed, the Cultivators below remained silent.

A moment later, they all bowed toward the sky once again in unison.

"Greetings, Leap Venerable!"

In the crowd that bowed, this included the Zhulin Venerable, and those who had previously held a skeptical attitude, believing that Wang Lin could not pass the ninth and tenth layers!

In the crowd, there was also a stunningly beautiful woman.

She looked up at Wang Lin from below.

Suddenly, she felt that the distance between herself and him was just like now—one in the sky, one on the ground—very far, very far…

This sudden feeling left her with an indescribable melancholy.

In mid-air, Wang Lin closed his eyes and remained silent.

After a long while, he slowly opened them.

In the previous moment, he had seemed to experience life and death.

He had not expected that this Venerable Nirvana land would contain such a potential meaning.

"The Heaven Defying Bead appeared on its own once again, resolving the crisis for me…

This object has its own spirit.

What exactly is it…

Where does it come from…

It could actually deceive the Immortal Ancestor's avatar here!"

"Inside this tenth layer, there were actually ninety-nine golden stars.

With this level of trial, it is no wonder that few people can pass it.

Even I had to use the Heavenly Ox Soul Armor in that instant to calmly pass through this tenth layer!"

While Wang Lin was lost in thought, three people flew out from below and headed straight for the sky, stopping around Wang Lin.

Three figures were revealed: the three Leap Venerables, Xue Yu, Dao Lun, and Meng Shuang.

As for the Leap Venerable Zi En, he remained calm.

He did not come up from below, but after glancing at Wang Lin, he remained silent.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Wang.

Haha, from now on, there is one more among our Immortal race Leap Venerables!"

"It won't be long before all the Leap Venerables on the entire Immortal race continent will know.

Fellow Daoist Wang has stunned the world.

If we can meet in the Northern Continent in the future, we must get drunk and discuss the Dao."

"Fellow Daoist Wang, after stepping into the Leap Venerable level, you will likely face the recruitment of those few Great Heavenly Venerates.

I am Xue Yu, and I listen to the Dao at Great Heavenly Venerate Wu Feng's place.

If you could also come here, it would be a pleasure.

I wonder where you plan to go now?"

The three smiled and cupped their fists toward Wang Lin.

Wang Lin smiled and returned the gesture one by one.

"Regarding the matter of which Great Heavenly Venerate to choose, I have not yet made a decision, and I do not intend to leave just yet…"

As Wang Lin spoke, he looked up at the eleventh layer, which was already completely blurry amidst the clouds and mist above!

His looking up immediately caused the expressions of the three to tighten.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you planning to continue to challenge the eleventh layer?"

"Exactly!" Wang Lin nodded with a smile.

The three had different expressions.

After glancing at Wang Lin, the Leap Venerable Xue Yu hesitated for a moment and spoke softly.

"The three of us have not passed the eleventh layer.

Since Fellow Daoist Wang wants to go and see it, I have some experience here that might be helpful to you.

In this Venerable Nirvana land, the difficulty of the levels above the tenth far exceeds that of the first to ninth layers for Venerable Cultivators.

Moreover, once you fail, it is not like the first ten layers where you remain unharmed; you will suffer some injuries.

Although they are not serious, you must still be cautious.

Additionally, for the levels above the tenth, it is very difficult to pass with short-term cultivation.

This is also the reason why Leap Venerable Cultivators rarely come here.

Without more than an eighty percent chance of success, we Leap Venerables will not easily attempt it…

As far as I know, among the forty-nine Leap Venerables currently, including Fellow Daoist Wang, twenty-seven have stopped at the eleventh layer and cannot pass.

Besides these twenty-seven, thirteen have stopped at the twelfth layer.

As for Fellow Daoist Zi En below, it is rumored in the outside world that he passed the twelfth layer, but in reality, he also stopped at the twelfth layer."
