Chapter 1913: Immortal Astral tenth sun, Astonishing the World (Part 6)

"There are seven people who stopped at the thirteenth layer. Besides these forty-seven Leaping Heavenly Venerates, there are two strongest ones. One is Cai Weizun, who passed the fourteenth layer! And the other is the strongest among the Leaping Heavenly Venerates, Ming Daozun, who stopped at the sixteenth layer!"

"Starting from the eleventh layer, the difficulty of each layer is extremely high. It is not as simple as shattering stars as in the first ten layers, but rather having to fight the seventy-two extraterrestrial beasts that the Immortal Ancestor fought in the past!"

"Those seventy-two extraterrestrial beasts vary in strength. Although they only exist as illusions within the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana, their strength has been weakened quite a bit, but they are, after all, the spirits that could fight the Immortal Ancestor back then!"

"If one can defeat all seventy-two of these extraterrestrial spirits and retrace the path of the Immortal Ancestor, then when passing the nineteenth layer, one will naturally possess the strength that even a Great Heavenly Venerate would not be willing to easily provoke!"

"Moreover, starting from the eleventh layer, there exists a great Opportunity. However, this Opportunity is not something everyone can obtain; even if one passes this eleventh layer, there are those who cannot obtain it."

"As for the specifics, I am not too sure, but I know that someone once obtained a Divine Ability of the Immortal Ancestor at the eleventh layer!"

"However, throughout history, in the history of our Immortal race, only two Leaping Heavenly Venerates have passed the nineteenth layer and then became Great Heavenly Venerates in the Primordial God Realm. Apart from these two, no one else has been able to pass the nineteenth layer!"

"The current Great Heavenly Venerates, among them the Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate and the Immortal Emperor Eight Extremes Great Heavenly Venerate, were only at the cultivation of Heavenly Venerate back then. It was just by chance that one became a Great Heavenly Venerate in the Primordial God Realm, and the other inherited the Bloodline of the Immortal Ancestor!"

"The Twin Great Heavenly Venerates and the Jiu Di Great Heavenly Venerate are rumored to be from the same era. It is said that they were once under the command of the Immortal Ancestor. Whether this is true or not, I do not know, but I do know that the Wu Feng Great Heavenly Venerate was also a Leaping Heavenly Venerate Cultivator back then, and he is one of the two who passed the nineteenth layer!"

"The reason I chose to follow him is precisely because of this point. After all, we Leaping Heavenly Venerates have our own pride. If one just achieved the status of a Great Heavenly Venerate through Opportunity, if our hearts are not convinced, how could we follow!" Xue Yu, the Leaping Heavenly Venerate, looked at Wang Lin and spoke slowly.

"Who is the other Great Heavenly Venerate who passed the nineteenth layer when they were a Leaping Heavenly Venerate?" Wang Lin had never heard of these things, and hearing them now, his expression immediately tightened.

"The Donglin Sect, the Donglin Great Heavenly Venerate! Before he fell, he was the number one Great Heavenly Venerate of our Immortal race. Even the Jiu Di Great Heavenly Venerate was extremely wary of him… That elder fully relied on his own strength to step by step reach the level of a Great Heavenly Venerate."

"Even the Wu Feng Great Heavenly Venerate, although he also passed the nineteenth layer, was clearly not as good as the Donglin Great Heavenly Venerate back then. There are nuances within it that I cannot guess." Obviously, this Donglin Great Heavenly Venerate was someone Xue Yu respected highly; when mentioning him, his expression was somewhat low.

Wang Lin was silent, and in his mind, the image of the old man in the Donglin Sect who relied on dreams to keep himself from being lonely—the descendant of the Donglin Great Heavenly Venerate—emerged…

"Thank you!" Wang Lin took a deep breath, cupped his fists towards Xue Yu, then looked up at the eleventh layer above. His eyes revealed determination. Without the slightest hesitation, his body flickered. Under the gazes of Xue Yu and the other two, amidst the exclamations of all the Heavenly Venerate Cultivators below, and at the moment when the coldly indifferent Zi En, the Leaping Heavenly Venerate, flashed his eyes, Wang Lin's figure, like a sword shadow rushing into the nine heavens, headed straight for the top.

His speed was so fast that he pierced through layers of clouds and mist and arrived outside the hall of the eleventh layer!

This entire eleventh layer within the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana is the yearning and pursuit of all Heavenly Venerates. Reaching this layer, regardless of whether one passes it or not, is the strongest symbol of status and strength!

The eleventh layer hall was somewhat different from the first ten layers below. Not only was it more massive, but the pressure it emitted was also much stronger, and even in its pitch-black entirety, it revealed a sense of eeriness.

"Including those nine people, there are only twenty-two people in the entire Immortal race who have passed this eleventh layer! To become famous overnight… passing the tenth layer and becoming a Leaping Heavenly Venerate is not enough!!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, his figure turned into a long rainbow and stepped into the eleventh layer hall!

The moment Wang Lin stepped into the eleventh layer, all the Heavenly Venerates below gasped, their expressions revealing shock and excitement. Such expressions should not have appeared on these Heavenly Venerate Cultivators, knowing that any one of them was a figure who could make the world change color by stomping their feet in the outside world. But at this moment, because of Wang Lin's crazy actions in their eyes, they were all excited and shocked.

"I thought he would stop after passing the tenth layer, but he actually wants to continue!"

"He… how many layers does he want to pass?? How many layers can he pass?"

"He is crazy. If this Wang Lin does not have enough self-confidence, then he is blinded by the glory of becoming a Leaping Heavenly Venerate! This kind of continuous challenge is rare, extremely rare!"

Xue Yu and the other two also watched intently. They did not favor Wang Lin's actions. In their judgment, the possibility of Wang Lin failing occupied more than ninety percent. After all, they had challenged this eleventh layer but failed, and more than half of all the Leaping Heavenly Venerates stopped here!

They did not believe that Wang Lin, who had just become a Leaping Heavenly Venerate, had this ability!

"He does have a drive, but this eleventh layer is not that easy. Back then, I also tried to challenge this eleventh layer after passing the tenth, but I failed… It was only after many years that I successfully passed it."

"Among the more than forty Leaping Heavenly Venerates, only Cai Weizun and Ming Daozun passed the tenth layer; one stopped at the twelfth layer, and one stopped at the thirteenth layer!"

"The reason these two have such fame now, being hailed as the strongest Leaping Heavenly Venerates, has a great deal to do with this. This person, impossible!" The short, child-like Zi En, the Leaping Heavenly Venerate, had a normal expression, but he was sneering inside.

At this moment, it was not just all the Cultivators here who were paying attention, but also the Great Heavenly Venerates in the outside world, and even more Leaping Heavenly Venerates, who learned through their own means that a forty-ninth Leaping Heavenly Venerate had appeared on the Immortal Astral continent, and this newly appeared Leaping Heavenly Venerate did not leave immediately, but went to challenge again!

In the Dao Yi Sect, the Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate seemed to ignore everything around him and stared intently at his reflection in the water. His expression was still normal, but his fists occasionally revealed a strange light.

"This child, I must recruit him into my command!!"

And in the glacier land of the North State, the Wu Feng Great Heavenly Venerate was now staring at the glacier, determination appearing in his eyes!

As for the middle-aged Cultivator in the Ziyang Sect who listened to the shrill screams in his ears, he was extremely excited at this moment. He looked at the mirror in front of him and muttered to himself.

"If he can become a subordinate of the Twin Great Heavenly Venerates, he will definitely be of great help to the Great Heavenly Venerate!!"

In Central State, on Emperor Mountain, the Jiu Di Great Heavenly Venerate sat there lazily, facing the sunlight, as if an old man who did not want to move his body, basking in the sun. When Wang Lin passed the tenth layer, he opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at it.

"He actually passed? Even if he passed the tenth layer, he is still just an ant with a slightly larger head… He cannot be compared to Cai Weizun, and even less to Ming Daozun. Sigh, I don't know what benefits the Immortal Emperor gave to Ming Daozun back then…" The old man sighed softly, as if it were a pity that he did not successfully recruit Ming Daozun back then.

Inside the imperial palace of the Central State imperial city, in that empty palace, a muttering voice came out.

"Ming Dao, what do you think?"

As the words echoed, ripples suddenly twisted in the palace, and a person walked out from the ripples. This was a handsome young man in black, filled with coldness. He glanced at the illusory screen of the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana in the middle of the palace.

"To kill him, it only takes one breath!"

Leaving aside the various parties' reactions to Wang Lin becoming a Leaping Heavenly Venerate and challenging the eleventh layer, Wang Lin stepped into the eleventh layer at this moment. In the blur before his eyes, he still appeared in the starry sky.

But this starry sky did not have a single star; instead, it was shrouded in a mist, a thick mist that seemed impossible to push away, enveloping everything around him.

"What is Dao!" A majestic voice suddenly appeared in this starry sky, setting off countless echoes, constantly revolving in Wang Lin's mind and between his ears.

"What is Dao!"

"What is Dao!!" The voice became more intense, as if muttering, as if roaring, shaking Wang Lin's body, and even his Soul seemed to be dissipating under this voice.

Wang Lin's face was slightly pale, but his eyes were bright. His understanding of Dao, which turned into his three great Void Origins, far exceeded many people on the Immortal Astral continent in terms of enlightenment of Dao. Even some Heavenly Venerates and Leaping Heavenly Venerates could not compare with Wang Lin in this understanding and enlightenment!

This kind of enlightenment of Dao, except for himself, could not be seen by outsiders at all; it was more like a sublimation of thought.

"Life and death are the ropes; this is Dao!" Wang Lin spoke slowly.

The moment he spoke, the enlightenment of life and death he had gained over nearly three thousand years turned into his Life and Death Origin. The moment it enveloped his whole body, the voice suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the mist before his eyes rolled and condensed together, forming the shape of a rope, circling in all directions. As it spread, it revealed the brilliant starry sky under the mist, and even more, it revealed a figure in the starry sky wearing a golden robe and an imperial crown.

In front of that figure, there was a giant scorpion. That scorpion was about ten thousand zhang in size, revealing bursts of coldness, and even more, it let out a sharp roar.

Wang Lin's vision blurred, and when it became clear, he seemed to have replaced that golden figure to fight this scorpion!

"Green Demon Scorpion!" Wang Lin did not hesitate and, at this moment, put on his Soul Armor!!

Time passed slowly. Unlike the previous layers which took only a few breaths to pass, after Wang Lin entered the eleventh layer, half an incense stick of time had already passed. It was silent here, and everyone's eyes fell on the sky covered by mist, waiting quietly.

"It's fine to challenge this eleventh layer. After he fails, he will know the gap and understand that this Heavenly Venerate Nirvana is not a place that can be passed by just being crazy." Xue Yu, the Leaping Heavenly Venerate, looked up and thought to himself. Until now, he did not believe that Wang Lin could succeed.

"Does he think he is Cai Weizun or Ming Daozun? This eleventh layer, I spent a lot of effort back then to barely pass. Not to mention the words 'What is Dao' which I pondered for a long time, the battle with the seven extraterrestrial spirits in a row was extremely arduous… It is impossible for him to pass in one go!" The child-like Zi En, the Leaping Heavenly Venerate, flashed his eyes, and while he was sneering inside, his body suddenly shook, and an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes!

A burst of golden light erupted in the eleventh layer hall shrouded in clouds and mist in the sky!!

"This is impossible!" The Zi En, the Leaping Heavenly Venerate, opened his eyes wide.
