Chapter 1915: Immortal Astral’s tenth sun, A Single Cry That Astounds the World (8) Second Update
Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate, in a simple Daoist robe, walked out with a smile, looking at Wang Lin outside the twelve-story palace in the sky.
Wang Lin's expression was calm, and he likewise looked at Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate. After a brief ponder, he cupped his fists and slowly spoke.
"Remember, if this Wang passes the ninth level, Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate will still come to recruit me."
"There's no rush for that. Little friend Wang Lin can first attempt this twelfth level." Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate smiled slightly, looking at Martial Sealing Great Heavenly Venerate not far away.
Their gazes met, as if solidifying.
This scene fell into the eyes of all the Cultivators around, especially the Heavenly Venerate Cultivators. Each of them had a strange expression. Aside from the incident with Underworld Dao Venerate back then, this was the second time they had seen Great Heavenly Venerates contend over a single person!
"Dao Yi, I've taken a liking to this child. Don't contend with me!" Martial Sealing Great Heavenly Venerate's eyes flashed with a cold light as he slowly spoke.
"Martial Sealing, a Sky-Ascending Heavenly Venerate Cultivator, even we cannot force them. Everything depends on their own choice. Just because you fancy him doesn't mean he'll follow you!
Moreover, he is currently attempting this twelfth level. Once he passes it, he will be comparable to the Underworld Dao Venerate of yesteryear. Such a figure, let alone you and me, even that old fellow, Emperor Jiu, might be tempted to come… And that Immortal Emperor, who knows what promise he made to Underworld Dao Venerate back then, resulting in his recruitment." Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate smiled, shaking his head as he transmitted Divine Thought.
As the two exchanged Divine Thought, Wang Lin in the sky took a deep breath and stepped into the twelfth-story palace!
The moment he entered the palace, Dao Yi and Martial Sealing immediately stopped conversing, looking up intently. All the surrounding Cultivators, be they Heavenly Venerates or Sky-Ascending Heavenly Venerates, did the same.
However, this scene, observed from several locations outside the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana, seemed to evoke different thoughts. The middle-aged Cultivator in the Purple Sun Sect looked bitterly at the mirror before him, sighing deeply.
"Alas, how did this person pass the eleventh level… The eleventh level is one thing, but he must not pass this twelfth level… Once he passes it, what will I use to persuade and recruit him…? I fear he will immediately be strongly courted by Emperor Jiu Great Heavenly Venerate and the Immortal Emperor. Even Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate and Martial Sealing Great Heavenly Venerate would find it hard to compare to those two in terms of foundation… What a pity, if my Purple Sun Sect's Twin Great Heavenly Venerates hadn't met with an accident in their last Reincarnation, we might have been able to compete with Emperor Jiu and the Immortal Emperor…"
As the middle-aged Cultivator sighed bitterly, he was already close to giving up the idea of recruitment. But just then, the door to the stone chamber was kicked open, and a little girl in a red dress ran in.
"Little Guya, why are you still looking at that broken mirror? Hurry up and come help me and Hanhan deal with that little wolf! This little wolf is too disobedient today! I'm going to teach him a good lesson!"
"Little Ancestor…" The middle-aged Cultivator looked as if he was about to cry, just about to speak.
"Eh? The person in this broken mirror looks familiar…" The little girl in the red dress looked at the mirror, furrowing her pretty brows, as if in thought.
"Uh… Little Ancestor, of course you're familiar. That's Martial Sealing Great Heavenly Venerate and Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate…" The middle-aged Cultivator sighed repeatedly, saying from the side, already having decided to give up on recruitment.
"Let's go, Little Ancestor, I'll help you deal with that… that little wolf…" The middle-aged Cultivator sighed inwardly, feeling pity for the Cultivator named Greedy Wolf.
"Not that bald old man and that masked man, it's this one!" The little girl raised her right hand, pointing at Wang Lin, who moved in the mirror and stepped into the twelfth level.
"Eh, he entered this palace, very familiar… Let me think…" The little girl thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up!
"His name is Wang Lin!! I remember now, when I found Little Wolf, I also saw him. I think Hanhan and I even helped him once back then… And it seems I've seen him before this!"
"Is he the one you were talking about recruiting? Great, great, Hanhan and I will go with you." The little girl blinked, clapped her hands, and laughed.
The middle-aged man swallowed, staring blankly at the little girl. After a long while, his expression immediately became excited.
"Little… Little Ancestor, are you sure you knew him before and even saved him?"
"Little Guya, are you being disobedient?" The little girl frowned, pointing at the excited middle-aged man, speaking in an old-fashioned tone.
"As expected of the Twin Great Heavenly Venerates, foreseeing the current changes and even saving this person beforehand! With this connection, it might really be possible to recruit him!" The middle-aged Cultivator laughed excitedly, his expression invigorated, and even his face seemed to glow. He didn't forget to coax the 'Little Ancestor' in his eyes as if coaxing a child.
Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately beamed with joy, her face showing pride.
"Hmph, serves you right, Little Guya, for not listening. Now you know how amazing Hanhan and I are, right? You've seen the light, right? I told you not to bother with those guys who left before, but you still didn't listen.
We, the Twin Great Heavenly Venerates, never force anyone. If they want to leave, let them leave. My strategic planning, how could they or you possibly know?" The more the little girl spoke, the more pleased she became, her lips curving up.
"Yes, yes, yes, Twin Great Heavenly Venerates' strategic planning is brilliant, Guya admires it, truly admires it…" The middle-aged Cultivator quickly said with a smile, looking at the little girl with loving eyes.
Although his cultivation was inferior, ever since the Twin Great Heavenly Venerates' Reincarnation encountered an accident, when everyone else left, he chose to stay and care for these two little girls. All of this, until now, was solely due to the kindness shown to him by the Twin Great Heavenly Venerates in their prime.
Back then, he was just an inconspicuous Heavenly Venerate under the Twin Great Heavenly Venerates. Now, he was the only one.
While there was laughter and conversation at the Purple Sun Sect, far away on Emperor Mountain in Central State, Emperor Jiu Great Heavenly Venerate, who had been lazily basking in the sun, now had his eyes wide open, staring intently at the autumn leaf before him.
"He actually passed the eleventh level and is attempting the twelfth level… This… this can barely be considered a figure of some note. It might be possible to grudgingly recruit him… But Haizi is there, if I go, it seems a bit inconsistent with what I said before…" The old man said this, but his eyes didn't even blink, staring at the autumn leaf.
"Forget it, it's just the twelfth level. Even if this child passes, he's still far inferior to Underworld Dao Venerate." The old man turned his head, closed his eyes, and stopped looking. But after a while, he opened them again, glancing at the autumn leaf.
"Can he pass it or not…?"
Also in Central State, within the Imperial City's opulent palace, Underworld Dao Venerate, clad in black, stared at the illusory image in the main hall, his brows gradually furrowing.
"Can he be killed in one breath?" A calm voice echoed in the hall.
Underworld Dao Venerate was silent. After a long moment, he slowly spoke.
"In one breath, yes!"
A smile seemed to echo, and the voice came again.
"He won't pass the twelfth level. His Heavenly Ox Soul Armor will encounter a Heavenly Ox on the twelfth level! Let others fight over this person, this Emperor has no interest…" However, just as his words were still echoing in the hall, as if he hadn't even finished speaking, his voice suddenly stopped. Ripples emanated from the Dragon Throne in the hall, and a middle-aged man in a golden robe, wearing an imperial crown, whose appearance was extremely similar to the Immortal Ancestor, directly materialized.
His eyes now showed a trace of shock as he looked at the illusory image in the hall. He saw the twelfth-story palace within the illusory image suddenly erupt with dazzling golden light!!
This golden light was clearly spreading in the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana, but at this moment, it seemed to penetrate all void, suddenly radiating from the illusory image in the hall, actually enveloping this entire palace!!
"He passed the twelfth level!!" The middle-aged man in the golden robe seemed quite surprised.
Beside him, the black-clad youth, Underworld Dao Venerate, suddenly exuded an earth-shattering killing intent. He stared intently at the illusory screen, his eyes revealing monstrous coldness.
He understood that by passing this twelfth level, just like himself back then, the other party would undoubtedly become the focus of universal attention, fiercely contended for by all Great Heavenly Venerates, allowing him to choose better conditions to strengthen his cultivation!
The other party's act of passing the twelfth level would also ensure that whenever people spoke of him in the future, that person's name would surely be added! This kind of thing was highly displeasing to him, who had always considered himself the foremost Sky-Ascending Heavenly Venerate!
"It's merely the twelfth level. On the Immortal race's land, there are a few others who can do this. Killing him still takes one breath!" The black-clad Underworld Dao Venerate was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.
But the golden-robed middle-aged man stared at the illusory scene, lost in thought.
At the same time, on Emperor Mountain, the old man suddenly stood up, his eyes showing a strange light, but after hesitating, he slowly sat back down.
"I saw him once before. This child possesses Heavenly Ox Soul Armor… To pass this twelfth level with the power of Soul Armor, he still cannot compare to Underworld Dao Venerate… Unless he can wear the Soul Armor and pass this thirteenth level… Otherwise, he's just an ordinary Sky-Ascending Heavenly Venerate." The old man pondered for a moment, then sat down and closed his eyes.
"Alas, it's a chicken rib… truly a chicken rib… To recruit or not to recruit… He probably can't pass the thirteenth level and will likely choose to give up… Eh!" The old man immediately opened his eyes, only to see that within the golden light of the twelfth-story palace in the autumn leaf, Wang Lin's entire body was enveloped by an invisible mist, seemingly clinging to him, forming a pressure that could be felt even by looking at the autumn leaf.
"Extreme Water Dao!"
Just as the old man observed the invisible water ripples around Wang Lin's body in the autumn leaf, he immediately saw Wang Lin's body suddenly sway. He had not given up, but instead headed straight for the thirteenth level!
In a flash, his figure disappeared into the clouds and mist, rushing towards the thirteenth-story palace!
This scene, in the Central State Imperial Palace, caused the black-clad Underworld Dao Venerate to let out a cold snort, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
"Immortal Emperor, I'm going to the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana to attempt the sixteenth level!"
