Chapter 303: Overlapping Fragments

Immediately, within these ten miles, rumbling sounds echoed. Wang Lin took a deep breath, his hands swiftly moving, and a Restriction formed in his grasp. As long as this Restriction was thrown into the sky, this Restriction Banner would immediately reach ninety-nine sets, thus triggering the descent of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Hong Die's expression changed. She stared at the Restriction in Wang Lin's hand, then looked at the black mist in mid-air. A strong sense of crisis immediately surged in her heart, a feeling she had almost never experienced before.

But at this moment, she had a feeling that if she allowed the other party to cast their Spell, then today, there would definitely be a bloody disaster!

At this moment, Chi Hu's expression also changed drastically. He floated in mid-air, looking up at the black mist, sighing inwardly. He thought to himself that this Ceng Niu hadn't used his full strength earlier, and this black mist was probably the life-saving treasure on him.

"Fellow Daoist Hong Die, both of you were invited by me. If you insist on making a move, you will put me in an unrighteous position! I will certainly resist alongside Brother Ceng, and if I don't die, I will truthfully report to Ancestor Xi upon my return!" Chi Hu shouted.

As he spoke, a phantom immediately appeared behind Chi Hu. This phantom was about ten zhang tall, like an ancient giant, its eyes revealing a chilling light as it stared at Hong Die.

Hong Die couldn't help but hesitate, thinking to herself that Ceng Niu's Divine Ability was definitely not simple, and the phantom behind Chi Hu had already solidified. If she insisted on making a move, this fragment would surely collapse. She hesitated for a moment, then pointed her right hand, and the petals immediately stopped in mid-air.

"Good, Chi Hu, today, for your sake, I will not kill this person! But that White Jade Coffin must belong to me!"

Chi Hu frowned, about to speak, when Wang Lin suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hong Die, do you really think I can't kill you?"

Wang Lin's eyes showed a half-smile as he raised the Restriction high in his hand and said, "With the Divine Ability in my hand, with just a flick, this Immortal Realm Fragment will collapse. Hong Die, do you believe it?"

Hong Die's expression immediately turned grim.

"Brother Ceng, I'll make the decision. How about we three share all the gains from this trip?" Chi Hu said, cupping his fists.

"Good, everything as Brother Chi Hu says!" Wang Lin smiled faintly. In reality, it was better not to use this Heavenly Tribulation if possible. There was only one such item, and after using it, due to the structure of the Immortal Realm here, he might find it difficult to escape again from the collapse, which would be disadvantageous.

Furthermore, Wang Lin planned that after leaving the Immortal Realm and returning to Vermilion Bird Star, without the Restrictions of this place, it would be the best time to kill this woman!

"Fellow Daoist Hong Die, please retract your Magic Treasure!" Chi Hu turned and said to Hong Die.

Hong Die snorted softly, and with a wave of her right hand, the petals flew back, and together with the rose, they vanished into her glabella.

"Ceng Niu, after we return to Vermilion Bird Star, do you dare to fight me?" Hong Die stared at Wang Lin, speaking each word distinctly.

Wang Lin laughed heartily and loudly proclaimed, "I'll accompany you!"

As Wang Lin squeezed the Restriction in his hand, it dissipated into nothingness. The black mist in the sky also, with a thought from him, condensed into a funnel shape, transforming into a Restriction Banner, which he put into his Storage Pouch. As for the Thunder Frog, Wang Lin also put it away, but the frog was severely injured and looked listless. Wang Lin's killing intent grew stronger.

Hong Die gave Wang Lin a deep look. She had to admit that this person had the qualifications to fight her.

Chi Hu secretly let out a sigh of relief. He smiled bitterly inwardly, thinking that if he had known about the animosity between these two earlier, he would never have called them. Hong Die was one thing, but this Ceng Niu, at the Early Stage of Soul Transformation, could fight someone at the Late Stage. He was definitely not simple. Such a person would surely shine brightly on Vermilion Bird Star in the future, and it was not impossible for the Vermilion Bird Kingdom to recruit him as a Disciple.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Hong Die, Brother Ceng Niu, both of you follow me. The place marked on that Jade Slip is still some distance from here." Chi Hu took a deep breath, cupped his fists, and then moved his body, flying forward.

Hong Die didn't even look at Wang Lin, transforming into a red cloud and catching up to fly parallel with Chi Hu, clearly unwilling to be behind him.

Wang Lin's eyes showed a hint of mockery as he followed behind.

"Ultimately, her Dao Heart is unstable. Achieving Soul Transformation in a hundred years, though a miracle, has too many drawbacks. Her Heart-Nature is still lacking quite a bit. What's with flying ahead or behind?" Wang Lin thought to himself.

"With my current cultivation, fighting this woman, unless I use the power of the Restriction Banner's Heavenly Tribulation, I have no chance of winning. The Concept of Life and Death can hardly shake her nearly Major Achievement Concept of Ruthlessness. But if I reach the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, with the Concept of Life and Death at that time, I can definitely influence this woman. Even without using the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, I would have a seventy percent chance of defeating her."

Wang Lin's Concept of Life and Death evolved from the Heavenly Dao of Reincarnation. However, with his current cultivation at the Early Stage of Soul Transformation, he couldn't fully unleash the changes between life and death. After all, he had only just begun to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

But once he reached the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, the Concept of Life and Death would ascend to a new level. At that time, with the might of his Concept, he would certainly be able to contend with this woman's Concept of Ruthlessness.

"This woman, at present, I don't know if she has reached the level of transcending Cultivation Techniques. But seeing her unstable Dao Heart, I'm afraid she still hasn't reached this Realm. In comparison, I am a step faster than her!" Wang Lin thought to himself.

After reaching the Soul Transformation Stage, Wang Lin felt even more that all Cultivation Techniques in the world, except for some extremely profound Divine Abilities, were already useless. A Soul Transformation Cultivator could unleash the power of heaven and earth with a wave of their hand, so their primary application still relied on their own comprehended Concept.

The Concept of Life and Death is ever-changing, focusing on the word 'change'. However, this single word 'change' is not so easy to fully comprehend. Wang Lin is currently only at the入门 (beginner) stage.

When he can achieve a state where a single Spell fully contains the Concept of Life and Death, enveloping all changes within it, only then can it be said that the Concept of Life and Death has reached Major Achievement, allowing him to control the changes of life and death with a wave of his hand, acting on behalf of Reincarnation to enforce the Laws of heaven and earth.

While flying, Wang Lin carefully reflected on his battle with Hong Die earlier, and insights gradually emerged.

None of the three were ordinary individuals, so their speed was naturally swift. Before long, led by Chi Hu, they arrived at the other end of this Immortal Realm Fragment. Here, there was a large mountain.

This mountain was shaped like a Dragon, with its head in the clouds, ethereal and illusory, a rare place resembling an immortal land.

"Brother Chi Hu, why has the place imprinted on that Jade Slip not been discovered until now? This question requires Brother Chi Hu's explanation." Wang Lin looked up at the mountain peak and slowly said.

Chi Hu, in mid-air, smiled and said, "To be honest, Brother Ceng, the reason I am so certain about the place imprinted on that Jade Slip is because the fragment where it is located cannot be reached from the vortex!"

Wang Lin's eyes showed interest.

Hong Die's gaze sharpened, and she also looked at Chi Hu.

Chi Hu smiled and said, "The fragment where the Jade Slip is imprinted is a very rare overlapping fragment in the Immortal Realm!"

Wang Lin's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately understood. There were numerous Immortal Realm Fragments, formed by irregular fission. By chance, some fragments would overlap. In this way, it would indeed be difficult for people to discover them.

Even if one randomly descended from the vortex, they would at most be on the first fragment. No one would have imagined that there was another fragment below.

According to this explanation, it could indeed ensure that it remained undiscovered.

"Moreover, even the first fragment is not a place that can be easily entered. The environment there simply cannot support the construction of any Teleportation Formation. Therefore, even if someone accidentally enters, it is difficult for them to stay." Chi Hu smiled.

Hong Die sneered, "How did Lord Ancestor Xi discover it back then?"

"Fellow Daoist Hong Die, this matter involves the secrets of my Giant Demon Race, so I cannot disclose it." Chi Hu's eyes flashed as he spoke.

Wang Lin looked at the Dragon-shaped mountain peak, remaining silent.

Chi Hu moved his body and flew towards the top of the Dragon-shaped mountain. Soon, the three of them arrived at the summit. Stepping on the Dragon's head, Chi Hu swept his Divine Sense and said, "I came here to investigate a month ago. The Teleportation Formation here is still intact. Entering through this Teleportation Formation will take us to the place closest to that fragment." As he spoke, he lifted his foot and stepped onto an empty space. Immediately, the empty space flashed with light, and Chi Hu's body disappeared.

Hong Die glanced at Wang Lin, her eyes flickering. Then, without a word, she entered the Formation.

After Hong Die's figure disappeared, Wang Lin calmly stepped into the Formation.

Within one of the many Immortal Realm Fragments, near its southern end, the environment was extremely harsh, filled with rampant cold currents, and the ground was frozen everywhere.

When Wang Lin emerged from the Formation in mid-air, he immediately frowned. He saw Hong Die with an expression of enjoyment on her face. Clearly, this place was not uncomfortable for her; on the contrary, it was extremely comfortable.

"Fellow Daoist Hong Die, this place leads to the first layer of fragments. Thirty thousand miles eastward from here is the Ten Thousand Year Ice Land. There, Fellow Daoist's Divine Ability is needed to resist the cold currents. After passing the cold current land, it will be the Immortal Realm's devouring void. I have a compass that can lock onto the direction, preventing us three from getting lost in the void. Brother Ceng, your Soul Refining, which resembles a soul, is most effective in the void. I hope you won't hold back then. After passing through the void, we can enter the first layer of fragments.

After all, there is no Teleportation Formation there; this is the only way to ensure that the three of us can enter." Chi Hu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lin's mind was clear. The reason Chi Hu had sought him out was because he valued the Wandering Soul, fearing that there was a stage where the Wandering Soul's help would make it easier to pass.

Hong Die moved forward, flying eastward into the distance. In a flash, the three figures gradually moved away. However, after flying a few miles, Wang Lin looked back in the direction they had come from, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

A journey of thirty thousand miles would still take some time for the three of them.

On this day, the three arrived thirty thousand miles away. This place was already the easternmost edge of this fragment. Not far away, the earth seemed to be torn apart, revealing an irregular jagged mark, and below it was a black void.
