Chapter 210: Main Body, Appear!

Before entering the Heaven Defying space, Wang Lin had set up some hidden Restrictions in the courtyard to prevent disturbance. Furthermore, once he entered Heaven Defying, his entire being would completely disappear. Even if someone came to check, they wouldn't find any clues.

After all, even the Soul Transformation Stage Eight-Extremes Demonic Lord Duanmu Ji couldn't detect the existence of the Heaven Defying space back then. For the old fellows of Cloud Heaven Sect, who at most were in the Late Stage Nascent Soul, it was impossible for them to notice anything unusual.

Within the Heaven Defying space, after Wang Lin paid respects to his parents' soul-light and Situ Nan, he sat down to meditate, regulating his breathing. After a moment, he took out a white jade bottle from his embrace, poured out a Foundation Establishment Pill emitting a strange medicinal fragrance, and held it in his mouth.

The Foundation Establishment Pill melted upon entry, transforming into surges of spiritual power that immediately began to rotate within his body. Wang Lin remained calm and composed, silently circulating the Ancient God Art.

Under his control, the spiritual power absorbed by the Ancient God Art did not transform into his Physical Body but instead condensed entirely in his abdomen, forming a Vortex.

As the last trace of spiritual power generated by the Foundation Establishment Pill was absorbed by the Vortex, the Vortex suddenly expanded, surging violently upwards.

At this time, Wang Lin was no longer the novice cultivator he once was. He knew that if this Vortex circulated throughout his entire body, it meant successful Foundation Establishment. If his innate Spiritual Root was abundant, the Vortex would naturally circulate throughout his body.

However, if his innate talent was insufficient, it would be as if there were invisible barriers obstructing it, making it difficult for the Vortex to circulate throughout his body.

The Vortex within his body spun faster and faster, immediately circulating throughout his entire body, like a rapidly growing tree, using Wang Lin's body as soil to quickly spread outwards.

However, there were too many obstructive barriers within Wang Lin's body. As a result, this Vortex was like a great wave crashing against a reef. Although it broke through many barriers initially, it eventually slowed down and stopped, not only failing to continue spreading but gradually showing signs of retracting.

Wang Lin took a deep breath. Without a word, he took another Foundation Establishment Pill. Immediately, the retracting Vortex was injected with new power and resumed its冲击之势.

Time slowly passed. Wang Lin had lost track of how many days had gone by during his Foundation Establishment. When the eighth Foundation Establishment Pill was consumed, the Vortex within his body finally circulated throughout his entire body with a rumble. Every part of his body, both inside and out, emitted a faint glow, and at the same time, some black liquid slowly seeped out from his pores.

After a long while, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was like lightning. After an internal inspection, he immediately discovered that his Meridians were almost crystal clear and at least dozens of times thicker than before. This kind of change was something even his main body hadn't achieved when performing the Foundation Seizing Great Art back then.

Wang Lin was silent for a moment. He didn't know if all of this was related to the Ancient God Art he cultivated. After all, the Ancient God Art was a Cultivation Technique that devoured spiritual power, relying entirely on the amount of spiritual power for cultivation. The Foundation Establishment Pill, in essence, was a powerful Yuan Gathering Pill, only its medicinal effects were countless times that of a Yuan Gathering Pill.

Relying on this sudden burst of powerful spiritual power to cleanse the entire body, thereby transforming the body into a physique most suitable for immortal cultivation—this was the origin of Foundation Establishment.

However, this transformation was internal. The Ancient God's body reconstruction, on the other hand, was an external manifestation. In reality, the two were not very different; the Ancient God's external transformation was to allow itself to absorb spiritual power better and thus become stronger.

And the internal transformation of cultivators was to make it easier to communicate with heaven and earth and experience the spiritual power between heaven and earth, the purpose of which was also to become stronger.

These two, one internal cultivation and one external Body Refining, followed different paths but yielded the same result.

Although Wang Lin's main body repeatedly prevented his Physical Body from absorbing spiritual power, instead allowing his internal Golden Core to absorb it, in reality, after his body was reconstructed once and a purple star appeared between his eyebrows, he had already embarked on the path of Ancient God Body Refining. In other words, he had unknowingly formed an external Body Refining.

As for his Clone, since its Physical Body was intact, it did not undergo body reconstruction. Furthermore, Wang Lin began to pay attention to this matter from the initial stage. As a result, this Clone's path of cultivation became orthodox, following the internal cultivation route.

Wang Lin picked up the jade bottle. There were still five Foundation Establishment Pills left inside. He pondered for a moment, then swallowed all five pills in one go, resuming his meditation and breathing exercises.

Time slowly passed. The spiritual power contained within the five Foundation Establishment Pills erupted. If it were anyone else, their body would certainly not be able to withstand the impact of this vast spiritual power. Even if they didn't die, their internal spiritual power would become chaotic and dissipate.

But Wang Lin, the Ancient God Art he cultivated, was an extremely overbearing ancient Cultivation Technique. What this Cultivation Technique feared least was spiritual power; no matter how much there was, it didn't matter. The spiritual power transformed from the Foundation Establishment Pills was immediately absorbed completely by the Ancient God Art before it could cause any harm to his body.

Wang Lin's cultivation also leaped from just having established his Foundation to the peak of the Early Stage Foundation Establishment.

However, Wang Lin was still not satisfied. He pondered for a moment and pulled out a Pill Furnace from his Storage Pouch. This Pill Furnace looked extremely ordinary, but there was a yellow paper Seal on its opening.

This Pill Furnace was precisely what Wang Lin had obtained from Yun Fei. That day, Yun Fei had mysteriously retrieved this item from Qilin Cave, originally intending to use it as a price to break the Restrictions. Unfortunately, Wang Lin, relying on the Demonic Lord, saw everything clearly along the way, and she ultimately met her demise.

This Pill Furnace naturally fell into Wang Lin's hands.

He had studied it that day, but due to time constraints, he hadn't delved too deeply. Now, all the Medicinal Pills in his hand had been consumed. If he wanted to go into seclusion again, unless he went out to refine new ones, this Pill Furnace was all that remained.

Staring at the Pill Furnace, Wang Lin's eyes flickered. He had previously judged that this yellow paper was no ordinary item; just the few cinnabar characters on the yellow paper gave one a sense of alarm.

Wang Lin was silent for a moment, then gently shook the Pill Furnace. A few muffled sounds came from within, indicating there was clearly something inside.

Based on the sound, there should only be one item inside, and something placed in a Pill Furnace is clearly not miscellaneous, most likely a Medicinal Pill.

But what kind of Medicinal Pill would cause someone to stick yellow paper on the Pill Furnace? And what was the purpose of this yellow paper? The reason Wang Lin didn't act rashly was precisely because he wasn't sure of the yellow paper's function. If it was merely a Seal, then forcibly opening it might cause a series of unforeseen changes.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Lin flipped his right hand, and a speck of spiritual light appeared on his fingertip. He concentrated his Qi and gently flicked his right hand. The spiritual light flashed and swiftly landed on the yellow paper.

At this moment, a strange scene occurred. The instant the spiritual light landed on the yellow paper, its momentum immediately accelerated, almost invisibly, suddenly falling upon it and disappearing without a trace.

Wang Lin's eyes flickered. He placed the Pill Furnace on the ground, then continuously formed hand Seals in front of his chest, lightly shouting, "Scatter!"

Immediately, a series of spiritual lights, like scattered stars, emanated from his hands. These spiritual lights dispersed, slowly approaching the Pill Furnace. However, before they could get very close, each one instantly accelerated out of control, just like the previous spiritual light, quickly landing on the yellow paper and disappearing.

Wang Lin frowned slightly. This yellow paper was quite peculiar, as if it specifically absorbed spiritual power.

A thought suddenly struck him. Staring at the Pill Furnace, he gently pressed his right hand towards the yellow paper. The moment he touched the yellow paper, nothing unusual happened. Wang Lin gently tried to tear it, but just then, a huge suction force suddenly came from the yellow paper, and Wang Lin's spiritual power immediately surged towards the yellow paper uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Wang Lin had taken precautions beforehand. He immediately withdrew his right hand the instant he noticed the anomaly.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Lin did not act rashly again. Instead, he carefully picked up the Pill Furnace and placed it back into his Storage Pouch. Speaking of this Pill Furnace, it was quite strange. When Wang Lin first obtained it, it couldn't be placed in a Storage Pouch. But after Wang Lin's Clone was formed, when he tried to store it again, for some unknown reason, it became storable.

The various peculiarities of this Pill Furnace made Wang Lin quite perplexed.

After putting away this item, Wang Lin stood up and left the Heaven Defying space.

As soon as he appeared in the courtyard, Wang Lin felt something was amiss. A faint scent of blood permeated the air. Wang Lin's gaze swept around, finally settling on the courtyard gate, where the bloody smell originated.

Wang Lin's eyes were calm as he slowly walked forward. At the corner of the courtyard wall, he saw the corpse of a Spirit Ape.

The Spirit Ape's eyes were wide open, filled with a dull gray. It had multiple sword wounds all over its body, and a bowl-sized wound on its abdomen, from which no blood flowed, only wafts of bloody scent emanated.

Wang Lin knelt down and touched the Spirit Beast's right leg, immediately realizing that its entire right leg was broken in several places. Evidently, this beast was the Spirit Ape that had delivered the Jade Slip many days ago and had carried Cheng Xian to the East Courtyard.

Wang Lin's eyes flickered. The Spirit Ape's abdominal wound was clearly torn open by hand, and it was obvious that the purpose was to extract the ape's Inner Core!

Wang Lin had done such things many times himself. He recognized it at a glance, and after a brief analysis in his mind, he arrived at a clear answer.

However, he didn't know if Cheng Xian had been involved in this matter. For the past half year, Cheng Xian had been quite enthusiastic and had a deep friendship with this Spirit Ape. Combined with the fact that Cheng Xian hadn't personally delivered the Jade Slip last time, Wang Lin naturally had some premonitions now.

Putting everything else aside, simply because he had brought Wang Lin the Foundation Establishment Pill Formula, Wang Lin could not stand idly by.

He sighed softly, not even looking at the Spirit Ape's corpse, and turned back towards the room. In the room, Wang Lin's hands suddenly moved. This time, without drinking the spiritual liquid, he cast a circle of Restrictions.

The afterimage of the Restriction landed, immediately transforming into a ripple. Within this ripple, a cold, white-haired man slowly rose. The moment this person appeared, the surroundings instantly filled with a chilling aura, as if entering the depths of three winters.
