Chapter 667: Fame Shakes Luotian, Dao of Righteousness
The Resentful Infant within the mist could clearly hear Wang Lin's words, but his gaze was cold and permeated with resentment, biting down hard on Wang Lin's finger, seemingly trying to make Wang Lin feel the full weight of several centuries of resentment in an instant.
Wang Lin looked at the child for a long time, then sighed softly. The resentment that had entered his body had no effect on him; the thunderous might of his Primordial Spirit could sweep it away completely.
After a moment of silence, Wang Lin formed Hand Seals with his left hand. Restrictions flashed out one after another, landing around the mist. Then, just as the Immortal Guard Puppet retreated, he suddenly collected them.
As the Mist Mass continuously shrank, it was gradually and completely Sealed by the Restrictions.
Finally, Wang Lin gently picked up the child, who was Sealed by Restrictions, with his right hand, pressed him to his glabella, and placed him inside the Heaven Defying space. A portion of his Primordial Spirit merged into the Heaven Defying space, continuously dispelling the resentment.
"Wait until your father finishes handling these trivial matters, then I will enter secluded cultivation to dispel your resentment. Ping'er, don't worry." Wang Lin said softly. He grabbed at the Void Realm with his right hand, immediately seizing the Fourth Soul of the Soul Banner. He took out the Venerated Soul Banner and threw the soul into it.
"Master Duntian, your Disciple has retrieved the Fourth Soul. The power of the Venerated Soul Banner will reappear!" Wang Lin turned around, his gaze falling upon the distant city.
"Come out," Wang Lin said plainly.
Sun Xi cautiously flew out from the city. He had witnessed the entire battle just now and was extremely shocked. Whether it was Liu Mei's malicious actions or the subsequent arrival of the Huan Family Old Ancestor, both had stirred massive waves in his heart.
Facing Wang Lin now, perhaps because his cultivation had been reduced, an immense feeling of awe and trepidation arose in his heart.
"Se… Senior…"
Wang Lin looked at Sun Xi. The sword light of the Flying Sword beneath his feet was unstable, clearly indicating his extreme fear at the moment.
"Brother Sun, there's no need for this…" Wang Lin sighed softly.
Sun Xi fell silent, took a deep breath, cupped his fists toward Wang Lin, and said bitterly, "Brother Xu… the three of us previously concealed the matter of our Clones, all in order to drag you into this mess and make you a scapegoat for the three of us… I…"
"Enough, don't mention this matter again. Are the Ran Family Old Ancestor and that Xiaoyao safe now?" Wang Lin asked softly.
"The Ran Family Old Ancestor had a Clone hundreds of years ago and left Ranyun Star long ago, destination unknown, but I assume there will be no issues. As for Zhao Chuanwen, this person cannot refine a Clone, but he seems to possess some Divine Ability that allows him to separate his Primordial Spirit. I suspect he also left Ranyun Star long ago," Sun Xi quickly replied.
Wang Lin was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Since I accepted the Immortal Jade from the three of you, I must do my best. Regardless of the lives or deaths of those two, I will ensure their descendants are safe for a hundred years and that their clan's fire remains lit. In doing so, I will have fulfilled the Dao of Righteousness."
Sun Xi bowed deeply, a look of gratitude on his face. He said, "Brother Xu, I thank you on behalf of those two." After speaking, he hesitated slightly and added, "But what about the Huan Family…"
Wang Lin raised his head and looked at the sky, his gaze seeming to pierce the Star Domain and land faintly on Qianhuan Star. He stated resolutely, "The Huan Family will cease to exist!"
He was not Zhang Kuang, nor was he overestimating himself. Rather, he harbored a crazy idea: in order to kill Liu Mei, anyone who stood in his way would be someone Wang Lin must kill.
Sun Xi's body trembled. He could feel a Murderous Intent brewing within Wang Lin, ready to erupt. This Murderous Intent was so dense that once it appeared, the world would turn blood-red.
Sun Xi's cultivation had dropped too much. His mind trembled at this moment, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin looked down at Sun Xi and slowly said, "cultivation below Soul Transformation does not require enlightenment; as long as the spiritual power is sufficient, you can climb. Moreover, your Original Body cultivated for countless years and had its own enlightenment. I can help you raise your cultivation to the Late Stage of Nascent Soul. Above Soul Transformation, you need to Breakthrough yourself. In this way, you will still have the Opportunity to reach Soul Transformation in the future, and even higher stages are highly possible."
Sun Xi was silent, then gave a bitter smile, saying, "When I reached Soul Transformation back then, it was a Near-Death Experience achieved through Opportunity and coincidence. I truly don't have the courage to undergo that life-or-death trial again…"
Recalling the life-and-death checkpoint of Soul Transformation, Wang Lin sighed softly and said, "I cannot help you raise your cultivation to Soul Transformation. At most, because your personal Concept enlightenment remains, I can help you reach Nascent Soul Transformation. However, this requires the aid of an Eighth-Grade Spirit Pill. But if you do this, your cultivation will be halted for life, with no possibility of advancing further."
Back on Vermilion Bird Star, the Snow Domain Country was upgraded to a Fifth-Grade Cultivation Country because Hong Die was favored by the Vermilion Bird Country. Its Sect Master had used a similar method to directly ascend from Soul Transformation to Nascent Soul Transformation, but he never advanced further in this life.
Wang Lin currently possessed an Eighth-Grade Spirit Pill, and under his control, Sun Xi would not be unable to withstand the Medicinal Power.
Sun Xi gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Brother Xu, I choose the latter!"
Wang Lin did not say another word. He raised his right hand and pointed toward the horizon. Immediately, the world darkened, and the Dao Transformation Yellow Springs surged forth, seemingly turning into a Yellow River that curved across the heavens and earth.
Raising Sun Xi's cultivation required absorbing a vast amount of Spiritual Qi. Even with Wang Lin's ability, he could not achieve this without using a Divine Ability; only by using his own Dao Concept as a guide could he shake the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
As the Dao Transformation Yellow Springs spread horizontally, Wang Lin's Dao merged into it, forming a surge of Vast, Righteous Power. The entire earth trembled slightly at this moment, and the shattered Spiritual Veins deep underground gathered masses of Spiritual Qi.
"Dao Transformation Yellow Springs, Third Form: Power of the Yellow Springs!" Wang Lin softly uttered. Immediately, rumbling sounds came from the Yellow Springs above the sky. At the same time, a massive suction force gradually spread from within, eventually reaching its peak.
The entire earth suddenly shook. Streams of Spiritual Qi from the shattered Spiritual Veins instantly shot up from the ground like Swimming Dragons, and were absorbed by the Yellow Springs the moment they flew up.
Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He grabbed Sun Xi from the Void Realm with his left hand, sent him into the Yellow Springs, and shouted, "Close your eyes and breathe!"
Inside the Yellow Springs, Sun Xi heard bursts of mournful shrieks. His mind trembled, and he quickly closed his eyes, focusing all his effort on breathing. Dense spiritual power surged wildly into his body.
A moment later, Wang Lin patted his Storage Pouch, took out an Eighth-Grade Grand Medicinal Pill, and crushed the wax coating. Immediately, a dense fragrance wafted out. With a toss, the Medicinal Pill flew toward the Yellow Springs. Midway, the pill shattered, turning into green smoke and merging into the Yellow Springs.
Three days later, a long shout emanated from Wang Lin's Yellow Springs. Sun Xi suddenly opened his eyes, divine light flickering within them. He swayed his body and stepped out of the Yellow Springs.
He stared blankly at his own hands. After sweeping his Primordial Spirit inward, excitement immediately appeared on his face. He took a deep breath, the joy of recovering what was lost filling his entire body.
Sun Xi bowed deeply toward Wang Lin and said in a deep voice, "Brother Xu, I am eternally grateful for your Grace of Rebirth!"
Wang Lin continuously controlled the Yellow Springs during these three days. Now that Sun Xi had stepped out, the Yellow Springs dissipated. Wang Lin calmly said, "Your cultivation has recovered to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul Transformation, but this is also the limit. You don't need to thank me; it is merely the Dao of Righteousness."
After speaking, Wang Lin raised his head, looked at the sky, and said softly, "I will temporarily leave this place to you. After you settle the descendants of the three Families, wait for my return." Wang Lin stepped forward, traversing the Void Realm and heading straight for the horizon.
The fierce wind Layer could not stop Wang Lin's figure. He rushed out like a meteor rising from the ground, forcefully penetrating the Star Locking Great Array. The Star Compass transformed into a silver light, carrying him straight toward Qianhuan Star.
The location of Qianhuan Star was clearly marked on the Jade Slip Sun Xi had given him earlier.
The silver light streaked across the sky, carrying dense Murderous Intent, locking onto Qianhuan Star!
Within the silver light, Wang Lin sat cross-legged. During the three days it took for Sun Xi to recover his cultivation, he implemented the crazy idea in his heart. Now, his eyes were filled with intense cold light as he silently gazed ahead.
"The Huan Family has been on Qianhuan Star for many years. Their influence is intricate and deeply rooted. However, I don't believe they have many Cultivators who have stepped into the Second Step within their Family. At this moment, there is likely only one, as Second Step Cultivators are extremely rare.
If this Huan Family Old Ancestor is determined to protect Liu Mei, someone will definitely help him. After all, on this Qianhuan Star, the Huan Family is only one of the Powers."
On Qianhuan Star, the Huan Family Old Ancestor had already issued an order: all Direct Descendants must return and gather in the Southern Region of Qianhuan Star, forbidden from leaving. Furthermore, he activated the Huan Family Clan Protecting Great Array, and a Light Screen immediately covered the southern part of Qianhuan Star.
However, the number of Huan Family Clansmen was too large, and due to the short time frame, not all could arrive. Some were still en route. In his anxiety, the Huan Family Old Ancestor dispatched a large number of High-Stage Cultivators to disperse and bring the clansmen back.
Qianhuan Star has a total of three large cultivation Families: the Qian, Huan, and Xu Families.
Among the three Families, the Qian Surname Family is the largest, followed by the Huan Family, and the Xu Family is last.
The Qian Family has a total of three Cultivators who have stepped into the Second Step. With this immense Power, they have become the Overlords of Qianhuan Star, occupying the Northern and Eastern Regions.
As for the Huan Family, they only have two Cultivators who have stepped into the Second Step. One died thousands of years ago during the opening of the Thunder Immortal Realm, and the other is the Huan Family Old Ancestor.
Logically, the Huan Family, with this Power, should not be ranked second on Qianhuan Star. However, their Family's Bloodline can be traced back to an Immortal from the Thunder Immortal Realm of that time.
Legend has it that the Huan Family possesses a Legacy Immortal Treasure and a Clan Protecting Jade Slip left behind by that Immortal from countless years ago, when the Thunder Immortal Realm had not yet collapsed.
Within that Jade Slip is one of this Immortal's Divine Abilities.
Thus, the Huan Family was able to maintain its status even when their Old Ancestor was away for thousands of years.
As for the Xu Family, they instill wariness in both the Qian and Huan Families through their mystery. Furthermore, various clues and signs indicate that the Xu Family of Qianhuan Star has intricate ties with the famous Donglin Star of the Luotian Star Domain.
Donglin Star's prestige is too great. Therefore, the Xu Family deservedly became the Third Power on Qianhuan Star. Fortunately, the Xu Family is relatively low-key and generally does not participate in any matters concerning Qianhuan Star. This allows the three Powers to coexist harmoniously with few conflicts.
On this day, among the three Second Step Cultivators of the Qian Family, an Old Ancestor who was at the Yin and Yang Void and Reality Realm left the Qian Family and headed straight for the Starry Sky.
His target was none other than Wang Lin, who was rushing toward this location!
