Chapter 1916: Immortal Astral, tenth sun, Stunning the World (Part 9) – Third Update

The entire Immortal race, almost all Heavenly Venerates, leaping Heavenly Venerates, and even the five Great Heavenly Venerates, had their attention entirely captured by Wang Lin's seemingly insane actions within the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana.

Such things rarely happened in the Immortal race; only the Ming Dao Venerate of the past had ever received such attention.

But now, this radiant attention would no longer belong eternally to Ming Dao Venerate alone; it was being dispersed from him, and a portion had descended upon Wang Lin!

From this point on, on the lands of the Immortal race, and perhaps even in the history of the Immortal race, Wang Lin's name would rise like a brilliant star in the sky, its light endless, known by all who were qualified to know!

Perhaps even in the near future, the people of the Ancient race would very likely hear of this!

The forty-ninth leaping Heavenly Venerate of the Immortal race had, after first becoming a leaping Heavenly Venerate, cleared the eleventh and twelfth levels, and was now going to challenge the thirteenth level!

The Great Heavenly Venerate Jiu Di on Emperor Mountain no longer had sleepy eyes; they were bright and focused, staring at the autumn leaves before him. His expression was grave, devoid of any of his previous laziness.

He understood that being able to clear the thirteenth level, even with Soul Armor, was enough to prove a fact: this person might not be so mediocre…

As for the Immortal Emperor, who had revealed his figure in the Central Prefecture Imperial Palace and was sitting on the Dragon Throne, his eyes shone with a strange light. In deep thought, he watched the illusory screen before him, watching Wang Lin inside it as he rushed into the thirteenth level.

Beside him, the black-robed Ming Dao Venerate had already sat down cross-legged, his Divine Sense focused on his heavenly spirit, about to head to the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana!

At this moment, inside the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana, the Great Heavenly Venerate Dao Yi frowned slightly and sighed inwardly. He knew that Wang Lin had likely already stirred up a storm. For a Great Heavenly Venerate to recruit such a Cultivator, they would need to pay a price.

But no matter how high the price, it was worth it. Once this person could become a Great Heavenly Venerate in the future, all previous efforts would turn into good Karma, yielding rich rewards. Having a Fellow Daoist who was also a Great Heavenly Venerate, especially with this kind of prior relationship, would mean a massive rise in status in the Immortal race for any Great Heavenly Venerate.

The Great Heavenly Venerate Wu Feng beside him also sighed. He could foresee that Wang Lin would recreate the situation where, other than the twins, the remaining four Great Heavenly Venerates all vied for one person.

Unless some unknown accident occurred…

Inside the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana, there was silence. Those Heavenly Venerate Cultivators stared silently at the sky. In the span of this one day, they felt the gap between themselves and Wang Lin, which had widened from the fifth level all the way to the twelfth level now.

Even recalling the thoughts they had when Wang Lin had just cleared the fifth level, looking back now, it seemed like a joke. With their cultivation and their status as Heavenly Venerates, they had no qualifications to judge a leaping Heavenly Venerate, especially one who could clear the twelfth level!

Now, they could only look up to the figure in the sky!

Even Xue Yu and the others were silent, their complex expressions fading significantly. After all, the gap was too large; this gap was enough to extinguish all complex emotions.

"The Ming Dao Venerate of the past stopped at the thirteenth level… I wonder if this person can surpass that…"

"If he clears this thirteenth level, he will completely surpass the Ming Dao Venerate of the past, becoming the first among those who have just become leaping Heavenly Venerates! Even if he is not yet as good as the current Ming Dao Venerate who can clear the fifteenth level, the difference is not far!"

As for the leaping Heavenly Venerate Zi En beside him, his face remained pale. Regarding these scenes he had witnessed with his own eyes, although he knew he should completely change his mindset, he still couldn't help but show a complex expression.

"Thirteenth level… He will definitely not be able to pass it!!"

Besides Xue Yu, Zi En, and the others, there were more than twenty other leaping Heavenly Venerates who had come here. They scattered, looking at the sky, witnessing this grand event!

"I wonder if he can clear this thirteenth level…"

"Among the leaping Heavenly Venerates of our Immortal race, counting Cai Wei Venerate and Ming Dao Venerate, there are nine people who stopped at the thirteenth level! Even if this Wang Lin does not clear the thirteenth level, it will make the number of leaping Heavenly Venerates at this level ten!"

"Thirteenth level, he should not be able to pass. He ultimately has a limit."

These leaping Heavenly Venerates who were on good terms with each other exchanged Divine Thoughts, looking at the thirteenth-level great hall hidden within the clouds and mist in the sky, its outline barely visible.

Inside the thirteenth-level great hall, Wang Lin's face was pale. The moment he stepped inside, that blurry void appeared before his eyes once again. Mist still swirled all around, and the fog rolled, seeming even denser than the previous two levels.

In this mist, Wang Lin was silent.

"The nine Heavenly Extraterrestrial Spirits of the twelfth level included a Heavenly Ox… I can feel that being able to pass those twelve levels is already the limit after putting on the Soul Armor…"

"The Soul Armor, after all, is not an omnipotent object. It can improve my cultivation and increase my combat power, but as my cultivation gets higher and higher, its effect gradually decreases. After all, at most, it only allows me to infinitely approach that Heavenly Ox…"

"But this approach actually still has a gap."

"Fortunately, at the eleventh level, I learned the Extreme Fire Dao, and at the twelfth level, I realized the Extreme Water Dao. Of the Eight Extreme Daos inherited by the Immortal Ancestor from the Primordial God Realm, I have now mastered two!"

"This thirteenth level, should I pass, or not…" Wang Lin looked at the mist, his eyes showing contemplation.

"What is Dao!" As he contemplated, the same voice from the previous two levels came from the mist. This voice echoed in the void, carrying a supreme pressure.

As this voice echoed, Wang Lin's eyes gradually became calm. He had already answered this question twice, and each time it was different. The first time, he used Life and Death as Dao; the second time, he used Karma as Dao.

This third time, Wang Lin understood, it was to use Truth and Falsehood as Dao!

This kind of realization and test regarding Dao might be difficult for others, but in Wang Lin's view, it was something he had already begun to ponder back when he was in the Immortal Cave Realm.

"Stunning the world… I should count as barely achieving it. Fine, after clearing this thirteenth level, I will stop here. Relying on this, even if those Great Heavenly Venerates can see that I have Soul Armor, it is enough to prove the point." Wang Lin pondered and made up his mind.

"Life and Death are the rope, that is Dao. The two ends of the rope connected together form a circle; this is Karma, and this is also Dao! People have dream barriers, unable to distinguish between waking from a dream and falling into a deep sleep. These dream barriers prevent all living beings from seeing the heavens and earth clearly, immersing them in Truth and Falsehood, unable to extricate themselves. Therefore, this power to break through the dream barrier and open one's eyes is Truth and Falsehood, and it is also Dao!" As the voice continued to echo, Wang Lin's mind became clear. He thought of his sixty years of Dream Dao on Vermilion Bird Star and spoke slowly.

As his words rang out, the mist that had covered the area in front of him suddenly dissipated, revealing the complete starry sky…

Time passed. After an incense stick of time had passed, everyone waiting in the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana land looked at the thirteenth level in the sky, their gazes gradually filled with regret and hesitation.

"The time is much longer than when he was at the twelfth level. It shows the difficulty of this thirteenth level…"

"It seems he is really going to stop at this thirteenth level. After all, he ultimately has a limit!"

"That's right. Becoming one of our Immortal race's top ten leaping Heavenly Venerates the first time he becomes a leaping Heavenly Venerate—this person is already famous enough!"

"It's a pity. If he could clear this thirteenth level, he could be second only to Cai Wei Venerate and become one of our Immortal race's three strongest leaping Heavenly Venerates…"

"He ultimately still did not surpass the Ming Dao Venerate…"

Among the leaping Heavenly Venerates here, while waiting, they exchanged Divine Thoughts, some regretful, some relieved.

"Is it his limit?" The Great Heavenly Venerate Dao Yi looked at the sky and felt slightly relieved. If he couldn't clear the thirteenth level, it would be easier for him to recruit him.

Just as everyone was guessing that Wang Lin would stop at the thirteenth level, suddenly, the ancient Teleportation Formation in the distance emitted waves of light from its operation. As the light flickered, a figure condensed within it. As the light dissipated, what was revealed to everyone's eyes was a black-robed youth.

His appearance was not at all less sensational than when Dao Yi and Wu Feng arrived; in fact, it made everyone who saw him perk up, as if this person's appearance would bring a new storm to the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana land!

"Ming Dao Venerate!!"

"He is the Ming Dao Venerate?"

"Even he has come. If this Wang Lin hadn't cleared the thirteenth level, it would be one thing, but if he actually clears it, I wonder what expression this Ming Dao Venerate will have!" Those Heavenly Venerate Cultivators had not all seen the Ming Dao Venerate, but through their transmissions, they all knew who he was. Their gazes toward the Ming Dao Venerate were filled with respect, and also a sense of anticipation.

They anticipated what would happen the moment Wang Lin appeared and the two locked eyes!

"The strongest among the leaping Heavenly Venerates, the number one person below the Great Heavenly Venerates—this Ming Dao Venerate actually came here at this time! This is interesting!"

"This Ming Dao Venerate is clearly unable to remain calm. After all, Wang Lin is clearly about to surpass him now. If he didn't come, it would actually be a bit inconsistent with his character."

"This Ming Dao Venerate has always been arrogant. For a long time, no one has been able to challenge him. Even that Cai Wei Venerate can only be suppressed by this Ming Dao Venerate."

Those who truly understood the Ming Dao Venerate were the leaping Heavenly Venerate Cultivators of the same level. They kept their expressions calm, but after their gazes swept over him, they also had anticipation in their hearts.

"Ming Dao greets Great Heavenly Venerates Dao Yi and Wu Feng." The black-robed youth had a cold expression and did not look at any of the Heavenly Venerates or leaping Heavenly Venerates here at all, instead bowing to Dao Yi and Wu Feng.

Wu Feng looked at the Ming Dao Venerate and sighed inwardly. He had offered this person excellent conditions in the past, but the other party had still chosen the Immortal Emperor. Just as he was about to speak, Wu Feng suddenly looked up sharply.

Not just him, but everyone here at this moment was shaken. They no longer paid any attention to the Ming Dao Venerate and instead all looked up, staring at the sky.

They saw that in the sky, the thirteenth-level great hall, which had been covered by clouds and mist, suddenly erupted with golden light. The golden light flickered, completely soaking the clouds and mist into a golden color, as if the entire sky had instantly become a golden sky!

"He cleared the thirteenth level!!"

"In the past, when the Ming Dao Venerate became a leaping Heavenly Venerate and went to challenge it for the first time, he stopped at the thirteenth level. Now, this Wang Lin has cleared the thirteenth level, already surpassing the Ming Dao Venerate of the past!!"

The black-robed Ming Dao Venerate's pupils contracted as he stared at the sky, his expression becoming somewhat gloomy.
