Chapter 773: Famous Throughout Luotian, The Place Closest to the Ancient Immortal Realm

Wang Lin was enlightened at this moment. When the mysterious old man's Primordial Spirit controlled his body to cast Spells, he only used a very small amount of primordial energy; the rest was all drawn from between heaven and earth.

This Divine Ability, in Wang Lin's view, was extremely similar to the one that extracts the spirits of all things, yet it was also somewhat different, clearly more profound.

However, the changes in this Divine Ability far exceeded Wang Lin's current cultivation. Although he perceived it, there was always a barrier he couldn't break through.

Right now, as the old man controlled his body to move rapidly, Wang Lin had no time to ponder the Divine Ability. He clearly felt that the mysterious old man's Primordial Spirit within his Physical Body was constantly dissipating, and this dissipation was extremely fast.

In just half an incense stick's time, the old man's Primordial Spirit had already dissipated by more than half, completely at the cost of consuming his Primordial Spirit to gain faster speed.

Wang Lin could no longer tell how fast this speed was. His entire being merged into heaven and earth, and a single flash spanned infinity. Everything before his eyes seemed as if time had been infinitely stretched; he was no longer traversing the Void Realm, but stepping upon time itself.

This was entirely an illusion, but at this moment, Wang Lin couldn't think of any other words to explain this change in speed.

This was also Wang Lin; he himself had initially grasped the threshold of Shrinking the Ground into an Inch, a great Divine Ability exclusive to Second Step Cultivators. Although he couldn't merge into heaven and earth with a single step like the old man, completely without expending any time, as if it were a natural instinct like breathing, he could still occasionally cast it with preparation.

If it were other Cultivators, even if their cultivation had reached Yangshi, if they hadn't grasped the essence of Shrinking the Ground into an Inch merging with heaven and earth, then when the old man controlled their Physical Body, their Primordial Spirit would immediately be unable to withstand this sudden violent change. At best, they would be severely injured; at worst, their Primordial Spirit would likely collapse immediately.

Even Wang Lin, despite having grasped the threshold of Shrinking the Ground into an Inch, still found his Primordial Spirit somewhat unable to withstand this state of traveling with this Divine Ability for such a long time.

His Physical Body, under the control of the old man's Primordial Spirit, barely stepped out of heaven and earth, but remained in a state of Fusion, as if everything in his body, including his Primordial Spirit, had split into countless particles, and these particles had become part of heaven and earth.

Wherever heaven and earth reached, any location could be reached instantly. However, it was clear that this great Divine Ability still had some limitations; otherwise, the old man could have simply merged and directly gone to his main body's location, instead of rushing like this.

Half an incense stick's time felt like a hundred years to Wang Lin. These hundred years of time transformed into a storm, and this storm was too strong. He was like a rootless leaf in the storm, constantly spinning with it, struggling not to be torn apart by the storm.

This state was extremely painful, but for Wang Lin, it held unimaginable benefits. As his Primordial Spirit struggled continuously in the storm, the feeling of merging with heaven and earth became deeper and deeper, eventually becoming deeply etched into his mind, impossible to dispel for the rest of his life.

If other Cultivators knew of Wang Lin's current state, some would surely be moved. The Second Step of cultivation, besides primordial energy, emphasizes merging with rules, mastering rules, and controlling rules. But all of this is too ethereal and cannot be clearly explained. Therefore, merging with heaven and earth becomes an inevitable path to explore rules.

Only by merging more closely with heaven and earth can one gain the qualification to explore the power of rules.

Undoubtedly, Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit at this moment, with the mysterious old man's unintentional help, was as if a large hand was grabbing him, forcibly merging him with heaven and earth.

Painful it was, but the benefits were tangible!

His Primordial Spirit merged more and more closely with heaven and earth, as if he originally belonged to a part of this heaven and earth, indistinguishable. In this state, Wang Lin's Concept also seemed to be touched, gradually, along with his Primordial Spirit, verifying with the great Dao of Karma of this heaven and earth.

Besides his Primordial Spirit, his Physical Body also benefited. Wang Lin's Physical Body, after a series of purifications, had already become indistinguishable from primordial energy.

And now, under the mysterious old man's control, prolonged merging with heaven and earth meant that his Physical Body, like his Primordial Spirit, was infinitely merging.

This wasn't the main point. The main point was that in the process of merging with heaven and earth, the so-called dissipation was actually the Physical Body being in a state of seeming collapse but not death. In this state, it could re-condense wherever heaven and earth reached.

And by remaining in this state for a long time, his Physical Body naturally also gained the Fusion of the power of heaven and earth, as if every muscle and every drop of blood contained the power of heaven and earth.

Of course, none of this was intentional on the part of the mysterious old man. If Wang Lin himself hadn't possessed this series of conditions, then perhaps when the old man emerged from heaven and earth and reached the location of his main body, Wang Lin's Physical Body would immediately collapse, and his Primordial Spirit would immediately die.

Wang Lin and the evil Qi youth sped along in a state of merging with heaven and earth. After a little more time, above a fragmented continent in the northern part of the Thunder Immortal Realm, Wang Lin's figure flickered and materialized.

The moment his body appeared, the old man's Primordial Spirit within him completely dissipated, vanishing from his Physical Body. Almost instantly, Wang Lin regained control of his Physical Body.

A long-lost familiarity surged in his heart. After regaining control of his Physical Body, Wang Lin, without hesitation, circulated all his primordial energy, letting it disperse through his pores, forming a Vortex that instantly self-destructed and collapsed.

With a thunderous roar, his body immediately used the impact generated by the collapse of the primordial energy Vortex to rush out even faster. The moment his figure shot out, the evil Qi youth took a step forward, his right hand slightly hindered by the impact of the primordial energy Vortex, grabbing empty air where Wang Lin had been.

After rushing out, Wang Lin did not pause at all, immediately transforming into a long rainbow and flying towards the distance. At the same time, he slapped his Storage Pouch, and an Immortal Sword was instantly in his hand. He unhesitatingly swung out eight consecutive Slaying Luotian Arts around his body.

With several cracking sounds, large Rifts immediately appeared in the sky around Wang Lin. An invisible confinement, almost at the moment it appeared, was torn apart by Wang Lin's Slaying Luotian Arts.

Wang Lin's expression was grim, and his speed increased as he shot out. He had previously suffered from having all directions around his body sealed, and he would not make the same mistake again.

A cold glint flashed in the evil Qi youth's eyes. He glanced at the fragmented continent he was on and frowned.

"This place is the former Immortal Altar of Thunder Immortal Realm, the core of the entire Thunder Immortal Realm, known as the closest place to the Ancient Immortal Realm when it hadn't disappeared… Legend has it that when the Ancient Immortal Realm existed, Ancient Immortals descending to the Lower Realm would first step onto this place… What is the purpose of this person, who also has the strength of an Immortal Lord, leading this Lord here!"

It's not intentional to split it up, but I don't want everyone to wait too long, so I'm releasing it first. No dinner for me, I'll continue writing. There will be another chapter in a bit!
