Chapter 1956: Immortal Astral’s tenth sun, the music ends, the people scatter, only sorrow remains! (Second Update)

If only Emperor Jiu had spoken, Wang Lin could have ignored him. He came to this imperial palace to save the lunatic; how could he give up because of Emperor Jiu's threat?

Moreover, Wang Lin absolutely did not believe that Emperor Jiu would, as he claimed, stop suppressing the power of the curse technique within him, thus making his recovery extremely difficult!

However, Wang Lin could not ignore the words of Twin.

In his heart, he already owed Twin, and since she had spoken, Wang Lin could only remain silent.

"Give me a reason!" After a long while, Wang Lin spoke with difficulty. He didn't look at Emperor Jiu, but at Twin Great Heavenly Venerate.

"The Immortal Emperor is crippled, and Lian Daofei is very important to the Immortal Clan…" Twin Great Heavenly Venerate sighed softly, her gaze meeting Wang Lin's.

"Wang Lin… Lian Daofei must be left behind…" The speaker was Hai Zi, who had been silent all this time. She looked at Wang Lin and spoke softly.

"This place is the Forbidden Palace. Although it is collapsing now, its existence can restore itself… In the Immortal Clan, the Forbidden Palace is an extremely important place because it holds the Immortal Ancestor's head… The Immortal Ancestor's head's purpose is to suppress the spirits of the Immortal Clan's seventy-two prefectures. Because of its existence, the spirits of the seventy-two prefectures have always been sealed. Once the Immortal Ancestor's head is damaged, there will be no power to suppress the still-living spirits of those seventy-two prefectures. Even some spirits that had already died will return to nothingness from their materialized continental state after losing their suppressive power… At that time, the entire Immortal Clan will fall into complete chaos, and even continents will collapse and dissipate. The entire Immortal Clan will face a catastrophe… According to our clan's previous plan, we did not intend to destroy the Immortal Clan. Therefore, after dividing the Immortal Ancestor's head, we would choose someone to sleep here, replacing the Immortal Ancestor's head and becoming the new suppressor of the seventy-two prefectures' spirits… The person we chose is Lian Daofei!

He possesses the Immortal Ancestor's Bloodline and has inherited part of the Immortal Ancestor's cultivation. Furthermore, for many years, our clan has slowly planted a seed in him. By simply activating this seed, Lian Daofei can become a Great Heavenly Venerate after inheriting the Immortal Ancestor's cultivation!

With his Great Heavenly Venerate cultivation, combined with our clan's Secret Technique, he can achieve the effect of suppression. Therefore, you cannot take him away… If you force it, then… I will also act," Hai Zi said softly.

"Wang Lin, leave Lian Daofei behind. He won't be in danger of death; he will just be left here to suppress the spirits of the seventy-two prefectures." Twin sighed inwardly, looking at Wang Lin, speaking like this for the second time.

Emperor Jiu stood by, watching this scene coldly, without speaking.

Wang Lin was silent, looking at the unconscious lunatic on the Immortal Ancestor's head. Without any hesitation, he spoke.

"I will give up the Immortal Ancestor's head; I will only take Lian Daofei!"

"Give up? Even if the Immortal Ancestor's head is put back in its original place, it can no longer act as a suppressor, because this head has been severed by the Immortal Emperor, and the Immortal Ancestor's cultivation within it has been dispersed. This item is useless for suppression!" Emperor Jiu snorted coldly.

Wang Lin's face immediately turned pale, and his eyes showed struggle and complexity. The other party's words were simple, and he didn't need to think too much to understand that this was true.

"Wang Lin… leave Lian Daofei behind." This was the third time Twin had spoken these words.

Time slowly passed, and Wang Lin's struggle stirred up great waves in his mind. After a very long time, he let out a long sigh. He couldn't forcibly take the lunatic away; Twin Great Heavenly Venerate would stop him, Emperor Jiu would also act, and there was also Hai Zi Heavenly Venerate. If these three acted, Wang Lin couldn't take the lunatic.

What's more, once the lunatic was taken away, the Immortal Clan would fall into chaos. Wang Lin might not care, but Twin, who had always helped him, would be very passive at that time… Even the Purple Yang Sect might be destroyed because of this.

In silence, a bitter expression appeared on Wang Lin's face. He looked at the unconscious lunatic and slowly closed his eyes.

"Lunatic, when I, Wang Lin, return to this Immortal Clan Imperial Palace again, it will be the moment I completely rescue you! I swear!" Wang Lin raised his right hand and slapped the Immortal Ancestor's head. Immediately, the head transformed into a golden light and was taken into Wang Lin's Storage Space. He suddenly looked up.

"Emperor Jiu, you don't need to look for me; I, Wang, will return again in the future!" As he spoke, Wang Lin's body flickered and shot towards the sky. He didn't look back, leaving behind the unconscious lunatic. His heart ached. This trip to the Imperial Palace had given him the greatest benefits: he had obtained part of the Immortal Ancestor's Legacy, acquired his head, and even condensed the outline of the Great Heavenly Venerate Sun.

But in the end, he still couldn't take the lunatic away… If he could choose, Wang Lin would unhesitatingly dissipate all these fortunes in exchange for taking the lunatic away. However, all of this had been predetermined from the very beginning.

"According to the plan and deductions of that Great Soul Gate Old Ancestor of the Mourning Clan, it seems that even the Immortal Emperor's Soul attempting Possession of the lunatic's body was calculated… Perhaps that so-called Possession was also part of his plan, but it was inadvertently disrupted by me… Even the Immortal Emperor's choice to self-detonate, and the curse technique's power being shared by the four Great Heavenly Venerates, it's highly possible that the Great Soul Gate Old Ancestor deduced it, but didn't inform or stop it… Perhaps he did this for Hai Zi, his clan's current generation, or perhaps… to dispel my anger towards his clan… But what exactly did he see, to be so polite to me… Could it be that in his mind, my existence makes him more wary than a Great Heavenly Venerate…"

Wang Lin thought of the words left by that Prodigy of the Mourning Clan within the Great Soul Gate, filled with respectful 'You's.

Twin Great Heavenly Venerate looked down at the unconscious Lian Daofei, sighed softly, and then her body flickered, flying towards mid-air like Wang Lin, and departed.

As Wang Lin stepped out of the Forbidden Palace's shattered sky, he still couldn't help but look down.

He saw that as Hai Zi performed her clan's technique, the unconscious lunatic's body erupted with dazzling golden light. Beneath that golden light, the lunatic's figure was replaced by a golden sun, enveloping his body. The golden sunlight radiated brilliantly, and from within that sun, a Great Heavenly Venerate's cultivation fluctuation emanated.

This Great Heavenly Venerate's power was not Wang Lin's Great Heavenly Venerate Sun outline, but a completely condensed one. Under that light, Lian Daofei became the Immortal Clan's fifth Great Heavenly Venerate after the Immortal Emperor's demise!

However, this fifth Great Heavenly Venerate would forever sleep, never awakening. His existence was merely to replace the Immortal Ancestor's head and suppress the spirits of the seventy-two prefectures!

Wang Lin watched the lunatic, who had become a Great Heavenly Venerate. He saw the other's body, under the golden light's shimmer and enveloped by the golden sun, slowly transform into a mountain peak. This mountain was entirely wreathed in golden light, soaring straight into the clouds!

With the appearance of the mountain peak, the shattered earth recovered at a visible speed. However, compared to the previous nine mountains, now only this single golden mountain peak existed on the earth!

The sky also recovered accordingly, and eventually, the entire world was completely restored.

His final gaze lingered on the golden mountain peak for a long while. Wang Lin turned, keeping his vow deep within his heart, and abruptly left!

Stepping out of the Forbidden Palace, Wang Lin took a single stride through the collapsed underground palace, vanishing without a trace. When he reappeared, he was already in the Imperial Palace of Ancestral City, in the Central Prefecture of the Immortal Astral continent.

The Imperial Palace had become ruins. At a glance, only a solitary statue stood there. This statue depicted the Immortal Ancestor, looking up at the sky, his hands spread open, as if performing a Divine Ability.

Wang Lin gazed at the statue, silent.

Ripples distorted beside him, and Twin Great Heavenly Venerate emerged.

"The era of the Immortal Ancestor has passed, and his protection will also dissipate… In the future, the Immortal Clan will have no other Immortal Emperor Bloodline," Twin Great Heavenly Venerate sighed softly, looking at the statue.

"Thank you…" Wang Lin said calmly.

"This was my promise to you before, although the price paid was great… But I also want to thank you; when I was separated, you chose me as two little girls."

"Lian Daofei indeed cannot be taken by you. I hope you can understand… After all, I belong to the Immortal Clan, and you… can belong to the Ancient Clan," Twin Great Heavenly Venerate slowly said.

Wang Lin's expression remained normal. He turned to look at Twin Great Heavenly Venerate. Wang Lin did not question or conceal the fact that she could point out his identity.

"Thank you…" Wang Lin clasped his fists and bowed to Twin Great Heavenly Venerate.

"I have obtained the Immortal Ancestor's eyes. I will prepare for secluded cultivation upon returning to the Purple Yang Sect. As for you, will you leave now, or will you accompany me back to the Purple Yang Sect?"

"I want to return to the Great Soul Gate… and then, leave the Immortal Clan…" Wang Lin's gaze fell on the direction of the Eastern Prefecture, and he spoke slowly.

Twin Great Heavenly Venerate was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

"I wonder if helping you was right or wrong…" As she shook her head, her body paused, and under the pervasive purple light, she transformed back into the two little girls. Both little girls looked exhausted. They turned back to look at Wang Lin, revealing innocent smiles, then waved goodbye to Wang Lin, turning into two long rainbows, and flew towards the sky.

"Wa Wa, I want to sleep when we get back, I'm so tired."

"Han Han, why don't we check if Little Wolf has been obedient these days when we get back, and then rest?"

"Okay, it's settled then."

The clear, tender childlike voices echoed in the wind like the sound of bells. Wang Lin watched the receding figures of the two little girls and murmured.

"Thank you…"

Wang Lin closed his eyes, and after a long while, he opened them. His body flickered, transforming into a long rainbow, and headed towards the heavens. He did not see Hai Zi silently watching his back in the Imperial Palace behind him, amidst the ruins, her expression melancholic as dusk gradually settled in the sky.

"Hai Zi, let's go…"

Behind Hai Zi, Emperor Jiu walked out, looking exhausted. Black Qi had already begun to emanate from his body, subtly becoming uncontrollable.

"You didn't stop him; I don't blame you… This child is extraordinary… I am old. Your clan forming this connection with him will be beneficial to you in the future." Emperor Jiu, wreathed in black Qi, showed kindness and doting in his eyes when he looked at Hai Zi.
