Chapter 1926: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, the Immortal Emperor’s Conspiracy!

Like a shuttle of light, a year of spring, summer, autumn, and winter passed in the blink of an eye. This year, as the autumn leaves of Emperor Mountain fell and snowflakes drifted down, the grand spectacle that had spread throughout the Immortal Clan a year ago did not dissipate; instead, it intensified.

A year ago, on the Immortal Clan's land, a white-haired Cultivator appeared. This person, in the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana, remarkably passed seventeen layers in a row starting from the fifth layer, becoming the top person among the Ascendant Heavenly Venerates!

He completely replaced the former Nether Dao Venerate, truly standing at the Peak below the Great Heavenly Venerate!

This person, with his white hair, was even called the White-haired Ascendant Heavenly Venerate. As for his name, it was spread by many Heavenly Venerates; this person was named Wang Lin!

The name Wang Lin, in this year, swept like a storm. No Heavenly Venerate didn't know it, no Ascendant Heavenly Venerate didn't know it, and even with such widespread transmission, almost all Golden Venerate Old Ancestors of the Sects had heard of it!

Even beyond the Old Ancestors, even Cultivators of the Sect Master and Elder level were all aware!

The Immortal Clan had its forty-ninth Ascendant Heavenly Venerate, and furthermore, the strongest Ascendant Heavenly Venerate who had passed seventeen layers of Heavenly Venerate Nirvana!

Rumors about this person swept across the entire Immortal Clan land this year. Legend has it that this person possesses Soul Armor and has received a high degree of recognition from the Spirit Beyond the Heavens!

Legend has it that this person's cultivation is supreme, but he is low-key. After passing more than a dozen layers, he originally did not wish to continue, but the Nether Dao Venerate provoked him with humiliating words. In a fit of rage, he continuously passed to the seventeenth layer, thoroughly trampling the Nether Dao Venerate underfoot!

Legend has it that Sea Child Heavenly Venerate admired him, but this person coldly rejected her.

There are even rumors that this person comes from a small Sect in the Eastern Continent, a Sect that most Cultivators have never even heard of.

One rumor after another continuously spread across the Immortal Clan land.

Such a figure would surely be valued by all Great Heavenly Venerates and would be recruited by them, but this person actually refused Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate, refused Wu Feng Great Heavenly Venerate, and even refused Jiu Di Great Heavenly Venerate, choosing the weakened Gemini Great Heavenly Venerates!

As soon as this matter spread, almost all Immortal Clan members who had heard of Wang Lin were puzzled, and various new rumors about this matter once again stirred up a storm.

For a year, it is said that Wang Lin has been residing within the Purple Yang Sect, never venturing out. Many Ascendant Heavenly Venerate Cultivators, regardless of the distance, rushed to the Purple Yang Sect, wishing to meet Wang Lin and discuss the Dao.

Those who left after meeting him all showed expressions of respect and departed reverently. However, some remained in the Purple Yang Sect, seemingly having gained greatly from discussing the Dao with Wang Lin.

The Purple Yang Sect, because of the name Wang Lin, once again drew attention!

Rumors about Wang Lin also slowly spread to the thirty-six prefectures of the Ancient Clan in various ways during this year. After all, the appearance of the forty-ninth Ascendant Heavenly Venerate in the Immortal Clan was already highly valued by the Ancient Clan, not to mention that this newly appeared Ascendant Heavenly Venerate had instantly replaced Nether Dao Venerate, becoming the strongest!

The thirty-six prefectures of the Ancient Clan are divided among the three clans, with each occupying twelve prefectures. When news of Wang Lin reached the dao ancient clan, Xuan Luo opened his eyes in his secluded cultivation spot.

His eyes held admiration, and even pride.

He admired Wang Lin for reaching such heights in the Immortal Clan, and he was proud that this person was discovered by him, Xuan Luo, in the Immortal Cave Realm, and had already been accepted as his Disciple.

"He should be returning soon…" Xuan Luo did not tell anyone about Wang Lin, including the Ancient Emperor.

When this news reached the imperial palace and was learned by the Ancient Emperor, his selection of empress was still ongoing. Women brought from various places were attempting to merge with that wisp of remnant soul.

But until now, all have failed; there have been no successful attempts. However, he did not give up, but rather searched on a larger scale for women who could merge with this Soul.

When the Ancient Emperor learned of Wang Lin's news, he did not believe that this Wang Lin was the person he had resented back then. Therefore, although he paid attention, he did not dwell on it.

This attention was to mobilize all forces to collect information on this person, as this person was very likely to become the Immortal Clan's sixth Great Heavenly Venerate!

Compared to the Immortal Clan, the Ancient Ancestors were already short one Great Heavenly Venerate. If it weren't for the existence of the Ancient Dao Great Heavenly Venerate, who does not participate in the allegiance of the three clans and is extremely transcendent, they would have likely been invaded and annihilated by the Immortal Clan long ago.

This Ancient Dao Great Heavenly Venerate has long resided on Ancient Peak Mountain in the Ancient Clan's land. His cultivation is world-shaking, making him the undisputed number one among the nine suns of the Immortal Astral Continent!

Even the Immortal Clan's former Eastern Lin Great Heavenly Venerate would be no match for him. Especially since this Ancient Dao Great Heavenly Venerate is the only known person among the nine suns who has killed a Great Heavenly Venerate!

The years of his existence can be traced back to the time of the Ancient Ancestors. When he became a Great Heavenly Venerate, Jiu Di was merely a Golden Venerate Cultivator.

After the disappearance of the Ancient Ancestor and the Immortal Ancestor, the Immortal Clan and the Ancient Clan erupted in a full-scale war. In that war, the Immortal Clan had eight Great Heavenly Venerates, while the Ancient Clan only had four!

But when that war reached its Peak, and the entire Immortal Clan had almost invaded half of the Ancient Clan's territory, the Ancient Dao Great Heavenly Venerate emerged from seclusion. Alone, he went to the Immortal Clan, and alone, in front of countless Immortals, he fought two Immortal Clan Great Heavenly Venerates in that world. After ultimately killing them, when he returned, he was ambushed by another Immortal Clan Great Heavenly Venerate, but he also killed him!

After this battle, the name of Ancient Dao Great Heavenly Venerate shocked Immortal Astral! Therefore, the Immortal Clan had to retreat in that war, bringing the conflict to an end.

For countless years thereafter, because Ancient Dao never returned to the void and is still present, his deterrent power has continuously enveloped the Immortal Clan, preventing them from attacking even though they now have one more Great Heavenly Venerate.

There are even rumors that the Immortal Clan's Eastern Lin Great Heavenly Venerate was killed by him while challenging Ancient Dao!

News about Wang Lin gradually spread within the Ancient Clan, protected by the Ancient Dao Great Heavenly Venerate. The name Wang Lin was also, for the first time, remembered by many in the Ancient Clan.

During this year, Nether Dao Venerate seemed to be forgotten; everything about him was replaced by Wang Lin.

On the Immortal Clan's land, deep beneath the Central Continent Imperial City, in an extremely vast underground palace, Nether Dao Venerate, clad in black, sat cross-legged in a black pool of water. The pool water constantly bubbled, emitting black Qi that enveloped the surroundings.

Nether Dao Venerate in the pool looked ferocious, seemingly in extreme pain, his body trembling. Yet, he never left the pool, enduring for a whole year with gritted teeth.

"Wang Lin… Wang Lin…" Whenever his pain reached its Peak, as if unbearable, he would roar this name. Now, in this underground palace, his roar echoed again.

"You took everything from me, I must take it back with my own hands!!!"

At this moment, amidst his continuous roars, the black water in the pool boiled even more, and black Qi surged into his body through his seven orifices, condensing in his Bloodline, slowly changing it.

"Ancestral Reversion Great Law. Even among our Immortal Ancestor's direct Bloodline, no one has ever successfully cultivated this technique. When I recruited you, I promised I could help you possess the Immortal Ancestor Bloodline…" A cold voice, amidst the continuous roars in the underground palace, slowly rose.

Then, next to the pool, amidst distorting ripples, the Immortal Emperor's figure stepped out.

"Since I promised you, I will definitely fulfill it. This place is the key for the Immortal Emperor lineage to have Great Heavenly Venerates in every generation. Cultivating here, you can possess the Bloodline. Whether you can complete the Ancestral Reversion Great Law depends on whether your hatred and resentment are strong enough.

If you can persevere, then you can revert to your ancestors!!"

"Ancestral Reversion… Ancestral Reversion… Wang Lin, I will kill you!!" Nether Dao Venerate in the pool had a twisted expression, roaring madly, but his eyes were faintly dim, as if his sanity was slowly dissipating.

"Kill you… kill you…" Amidst Nether Dao's low growls, the Immortal Emperor in front of him once again showed that eerie smile at the corner of his mouth, his gaze flickered, and he turned to leave.

"My generation shall revive the glory of the Immortal Ancestor's time! That old fellow Jiu Di is acting old and arrogant; once I succeed, I'll start with him. If he submits, who else would dare to disobey!

As for Dao Yi, this person is cunning and decisive. His Great Heavenly Venerate qualification should have belonged to his Senior Brother, but he harmed his brother to seize this qualification!

I really appreciate such a person; he can be of great use!

As for Wu Feng, this person disrespects the Immortal Emperor lineage. Such a person should be killed, his Great Heavenly Venerate qualification taken, and Dao Fei made a Great Heavenly Venerate! Although Dao Fei is my imperial brother, I have also spent a lot of effort on him, and it is time to reap the fruits.

Finally, there are the Gemini. As long as their Souls are not unified, they are not worth worrying about!"

The Immortal Emperor, with a smile, vanished into the underground palace, where the roaring and howling echoed continuously.

In the Purple Yang Sect of the Eastern Continent, where Wang Lin, the subject of rumors sweeping the Immortal Astral Continent, resided, it was now deep winter. Goose-feather-like snowflakes fell, blanketing the earth in silver, covering the Purple Yang Sect.

In this year, Wang Lin, except when Ascendant Heavenly Venerates came to visit and he would emerge to discuss the Dao, spent the rest of his time in only one place: a Forbidden Land within the Purple Yang Sect.

It was called the Beast Rearing Realm.

He had vaguely seen this Beast Rearing Realm back then, but after coming to the Purple Yang Sect, this place had changed a lot. Sitting cross-legged at the edge of this Beast Rearing Realm, Wang Lin spent most of this year here.

He could feel an invisible barrier before him. Within that barrier was his familiar, longed-for homeland… where there were familiar people, familiar land, a starry sky, and Cultivation Planets.

Raising his right hand, as if placing it on the barrier, Wang Lin's eyes revealed melancholy and reminiscence.

"The scent of home…" Wang Lin sighed softly, silently closing his eyes. He had been here for a year; he knew he should leave… In the distance, bursts of bell-like laughter drifted, the little girl's tender laughter filled with joy, bringing peace to Wang Lin's heart.

"Little Biaozi! Don't bully Little Wolf, you've tricked him out of all his things."

"Little Biaozi, let's go down the mountain and trick people, it's so much fun."

"Please, you two little ancestors, don't call me Little Biaozi anymore, it really… really doesn't sound good…" Liu Jinbiao pleaded with a mournful face.

Today I heard another rumor, it is said that those who cast recommendation votes at dawn will have a romantic encounter tomorrow, Fellow Daoist, it is better to believe it than not…
