Chapter 602: Immortal Emperor Qing Lin

Over ten years, Wang Lin, inside this pagoda, questioned Yao Xixue multiple times. Yao Xixue's hatred for Wang Lin was deeply buried in her heart, and at the same time, she was terrified by some of Wang Lin's methods.

Her mind had been breached by Wang Lin, and this breach was how she revealed the method for using the Blood Soul Pill to Wang Lin!

Once the breach appeared, under Wang Lin's methods, Yao Xixue nearly collapsed. Although she didn't reveal everything, she did disclose some secrets!

"You said that Immortal Cave was left behind by an Immortal Emperor, and that there are four such Immortal Emperor Immortal Caves in total. How did you know all of this?"

Yao Xixue bit her lower lip, a question she had always been unwilling to answer.

"You've been in my hands for over twenty years. Don't you want to be free? If you tell me everything, I can promise you that after we leave this Demon Spirit Land, I will let you go!" Wang Lin's gaze flickered almost imperceptibly as he slowly said.

His voice carried a demonic thought, a minor Divine Ability he had learned from the Loose Devil after constantly deepening his imprint on it for ten years.

"I can tell you everything, but you must swear on your Dao Heart that you will let me go after we leave this Demon Spirit Land!" Yao Xixue sighed softly, speaking in a low voice.

"You are not qualified to negotiate with me. What I, Wang, promise, I will not go back on! Speak, if you have a glimmer of hope for survival. If not, I will Seal you forever!" Wang Lin's voice was flat, yet it carried a chill.

Yao Xixue twirled a strand of hair, looked at Wang Lin, and after a long while, she softly said: "My father once warned me not to become your enemy. At the time, I was very confused, not knowing why my father would know of you. Back then, you were just a nobody. Even if you were taken as a Disciple by Tian Yunzi, based on my understanding of my father, your identity, your Cultivation, everything about you, simply wouldn't have caught his attention!

So, I didn't listen to him. Now, I somewhat understand why my father would mention you…"

Wang Lin's expression remained normal as he coldly stared at the woman.

Yao Xixue sighed softly and said: "The four Immortal Caves here were told to me by my father. Back then, in this Demon Spirit Land, he, Tian Yunzi, Ling Tianhou, and others discovered a… a secret!"

Wang Lin's gaze sharpened, and he calmly asked: "What secret?"

"This Demon Spirit Land is actually an Immortal Cave. I presume you've already guessed this. I can tell you, this Demon Spirit Land is indeed an Immortal Cave, a very large one, unbelievably large, but it's not just one! It's five! Among the five Immortal Caves, four are Void and one is real!"

Wang Lin's expression was normal, and he slowly said: "Presumably, the Immortal Cave you took me to was a Void Mansion."

Yao Xixue nodded bitterly and said: "Yes, that was indeed a Void Mansion…"

"What was your purpose in entering that Void Mansion?" Wang Lin asked.

"Father once said that inside the Void Mansion, there were many Magic Treasures and spiritual liquids, and if I could obtain them, they would be of great benefit to my Cultivation…" Yao Xixue said softly. However, before she could finish, she saw the cold smile on Wang Lin's lips.

Wang Lin quietly looked at Yao Xixue. He didn't speak, but his gaze made Yao Xixue's heart tremble. She remained silent for a long time before bitterly saying: "Everything I said before was true. You don't need to use this as an excuse not to release me in the future!"

Wang Lin's tone was sinister as he said: "'Every word true,' indeed. What you said might be what you think, but what I, Wang, asked, was not that! What is the connection between the four Void Immortal Caves and the final Immortal Cave?"

Yao Xixue fell silent again, sighed inwardly, and said: "Fine, those four Void Immortal Caves are actually the gates to enter the final Immortal Cave."

"The secret your father and the others discovered couldn't be that simple, could it?" Wang Lin's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I only know that inside that last Immortal Cave, my father speculated there was an opportunity to step into the third step of the Dao Realm, because this Immortal Cave was the abode of the First Immortal Emperor Qing Lin, before the Immortal Realm collapsed!

Immortal Emperor Qing Lin was the strongest expert in the Immortal Realm. Legend has it that when the Immortal Realm collapsed, Immortal Emperor Qing Lin did not perish with it, but after a fierce battle, he was injured and fled!

The secret my father and the others discovered was the aura of Immortal Emperor Qing Lin in seclusion within this final Immortal Cave! I don't know how they investigated and found this out, so don't ask me about it." After Yao Xixue finished speaking, she looked at Wang Lin. When she first heard this news from her father, the shock she felt was almost unimaginable. Even now, recalling it still makes her mind tremble.

She wanted to see what expression Wang Lin, with his cunning mind, would show upon hearing this news for the first time. Unfortunately, all she saw was that unchanging expression. Wang Lin's expression was normal, without the slightest change, but his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

Inside Wang Lin's heart, these words stirred up a stormy sea!

He believed seventy percent of Yao Xixue's words. This was not because what Yao Xixue said was so captivating, but because of the two words 'Qing Lin' spoken from her mouth!

Wang Lin would never forget the seemingly ethereal voice he heard the moment he cast the superimposed runes when he and Yao Xixue first entered that Immortal Cave.

"I am Qing Lin…"

"What kind of Immortal Cave is this exactly… There are Ancient Demons, there are Loose Devils… The Ancient Demons were divided into nine parts, unable to fuse with each other, and as for the Loose Devils, I don't have much information, but from what they said, they are devils under the Ancient Devil. Could it be that there are still Ancient Devils present in this Demon Spirit Land…?"

The more information he grasped, the more Wang Lin felt a layer of mist that he couldn't tear open. He calmly glanced at Yao Xixue and asked: "How were the four Void Mansions distributed back then?"

"Tian Yunzi and Ling Tianhou each occupied one mansion, and another Immortal Cave was occupied by the Cloud Immortal Dao Companion! Back then, my father's Cultivation was insufficient to contend with these four, but by a strange coincidence, he learned of the existence of this fourth Immortal Cave. In fact, apart from my father, everyone else always believed that the Immortal Caves here were three Void and one real!"

"Cloud Immortal Dao Companion?" Wang Lin frowned. This was the first time he had heard this name.

"The two Cloud Immortal Dao Companions were figures from tens of thousands of years ago. Back then, they did not leave this place with Tian Yunzi and the others but chose to Cultivate in that Immortal Cave. Therefore, apart from a very small number of people, not many know of them today. I also learned about this pair of Dao Cultivating Lovers from my father." When Yao Xixue spoke of this, a hint of wistful envy appeared in her eyes. When she first heard of this pair of Dao Cultivating Lovers, it was when her heart was stirring with youthful romance, and a curtain of dreams always lingered in her heart. Recalling it now inevitably brought a sense of melancholy.

Wang Lin was silent for a moment, then his eyes suddenly flashed as he stared at Yao Xixue and said: "Your father, Blood Ancestor, should be arriving soon, right?"

As soon as his words fell, Yao Xixue's heart trembled violently, but her face showed surprise, saying: "I don't know what you mean by that!" Her expression was extremely natural, not revealing the slightest clue.

"Over tens of thousands of years, this Demon Spirit Land has opened many times. I don't know if you've entered this place before, but with Blood Ancestor's Divine Ability, it shouldn't be difficult to extend your Lifespan. Given that, you are specifically willing to let outsiders know the secret of that Immortal Cave this time, and even risk entering it. If there isn't some hidden secret, you wouldn't be in such a hurry!"

"For these tens of thousands of years, your father, Blood Ancestor, has probably been unable to enter due to some reasons. So, this time, you came, and you are very eager to obtain the authority to that Immortal Cave, probably to prepare for your father's arrival!"

Wang Lin's voice was calm, his gaze profound, as he slowly spoke.

Yao Xixue quietly looked at Wang Lin. After a long while, she smiled brightly and nodded, saying: "You are very clever, that's right, my father is coming soon! In fact, not only my father, but I'm afraid your Master Tian Yunzi, Great Luo Sword Sect's Ling Tianhou, and some old monsters from Tian Yun Star will all arrive here soon!"

Wang Lin closed his eyes, revealing only a sliver, and slowly said: "Is it because of that golden token in the tide?"

Yao Xixue's gaze towards Wang Lin subtly revealed a hint of shock. Only now did she truly feel Wang Lin's terrifying nature.

"This person's schemes are too deep. His previous questions seemed simple, but as soon as I answered, I immediately fell into his calculations. Step by step, I unknowingly provided him with a large amount of information. In this way, if I were to lie, he would immediately detect the flaws from this vast and complex information. This person… is too terrifying!"

Yao Xixue, however, did not know that Wang Lin's Cultivation of Restriction techniques meant that the deductions within his mind were ten, even a hundred times more complex than this. His conversation with Yao Xixue was truly nothing.

Wang Lin was not afraid of Yao Xixue speaking, as long as she spoke, he had methods to extract the true content. What he feared was Yao Xixue remaining silent, as she had in the past!

Yao Xixue lowered her head, instinctively not wanting to look into Wang Lin's eyes, and said: "That token is called the Qing Lin Immortal Token. It is the key to the gate from the Void Mansion to the true Immortal Cave. Only by holding this item can one enter!

However, all four tokens must be activated simultaneously, and the gates of the four Void Mansions must open at the same time for it to open completely! Not one can be missing!"

"According to you, in the minds of Tian Yunzi and the others, they always believed that three tokens were all there were, and only your father, Blood Ancestor, knew that three tokens could not open the true gate, is that right?" Wang Lin asked.

Yao Xixue was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"This Blood Ancestor is quite cunning. As long as he has the Void Mansion in hand, even if he doesn't have the token, it's equivalent to him holding the initiative. With clever arrangements, once the fourth token appears, he will naturally gain the qualification to enter that true Immortal Cave!" Wang Lin pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering, and asked: "After that token is drawn into this place, where will it appear?"

"The Tidal Abyss, its entrance is within the Fire Demon Prefecture!" Yao Xixue hesitated for a moment before saying.

Wang Lin stopped asking questions. With a grasp in the Void Realm, Yao Xixue was immediately Sealed again by him and placed into his Storage Pouch. At this moment, only Wang Lin remained in the pagoda. His eyes glowed with an eerie light, and he murmured: "So these secrets exist within this Demon Spirit Land… My Cultivation is too far behind those old monsters, but why did Tian Yunzi insist on me entering this Demon Spirit Land…?"

Thank you for everyone's concern. After updating, I'm going to the hospital to see my daughter.
