Chapter 191. Dead Soul Sea (2/2)
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and focused his divine sense on the three big words left in his brain. Gradually, complex techniques appeared one by one in his heart.
The first layer of the Ancient God Tactic contained three parts: stealing Ling Qi, swallowing Ling Qi, and melting Ling Qi.
The moment each Ancient God was born, their body would automatically use the first technique. But as the Ancient God grew up to a child, the first layer would cultivate to the melting Ling Qi stage. If the Ancient God broke into the second layer, he could absorb the planet’s energy. If this was not achieved, then the baby would keep sleeping. Once a certain amount of time passed, the golden liquid surrounding the baby would disappear. After losing the protection that prevented people from detecting him, the only road left was to be found and devoured by others.
After studying the first technique for a very long time, Wang Lin let out a breath and opened both his eyes, revealing a contemplative look. After studying this technique, Wang Lin understood one of the reasons why the Ancient God’s body was so large.
Ancient Gods focused on training their bodies and rarely used weapons. It could even be said that their bodies were the best treasures. Their bodies’ hardness could compare to the best treasures in the world.
The focus of the Ancient God’s Tactic was to use all of the Ling Qi that one steals to reinforce the body. Once the limit of the body is reached, one must expand the body, or else their cultivation would stop. The larger the body becomes, the more Ling Qi the body requires. After reaching a certain size, the Ancient God would experience body reconstruction. This was process to increase the quality of the body.
To an Ancient God, the more times their bodies experience reconstruction, the stronger their cultivation and bodies become.
Also, with every reconstruction, their souls would also become larger. Among the Ancient Gods, there were no cultivation levels like in the world of cultivators. The Ancient Gods’ cultivation was mainly just their soul and their body.
The body was the weapon and the soul was the hand that controlled the weapon, combining into the almost invincible Ancient God Family.
In ancient times, the Ancient Gods were glorious, but in the end, were still buried in history. As of today, they have disappeared without a trace besides a few mentions in some ancient texts.
Wang Lin realized that, by using the Ancient God Tactic, he could use the Ling Qi that he’s stolen to raise his cultivation. This would allow him to increase his cultivation quickly.
He took out his bag of holding. After searching for a while, he took out an object.
It was a dantian. It was obtained when he went on a killing spree. This dantian contained all the cultivation of a middle tier cultivators.
Without a word, Wang Lin threw the dantian into his mouth. The moment the dantian entered his mouth, it released tons of Ling Qi into his body.
Wang Lin immediately used the Ling Qi Stealing technique of the first layer of the Ancient God Tactic, then he put his hands together and sat down to cultivate. All the Ling Qi was quickly absorbed by the Ling Qi Stealing technique, but the moment it was about to be fused into this body, Wang Lin stopped it and moved all the Ling Qi into the Jie Dan in his body.
Waves of Ling Qi surged in his Jie Dan, forming patterns.
A hurricane passed through his body. The Ling Qi that took it two hours to gather disappeared in an instant.
If Wang Lin didn’t have the Ling Qi Stealing technique, he would need to spend anywhere from several months to several years of time to digest the dantian, and he would only be able to absorb 70 to 80 percent of it while the remaining would be lost.
Although time moved faster in the Heaven Revolting Space, it would still waste a lot of time. However, in what was only an instant in the real world, he was able to completely absorb the dantian.
His Jie Dan spun in a pattern, sending out waves of Ling Qi to his body. Wang Lin’s eyes glistened. A single dantian allowed him to reach the peak of Jie Dan middle stage, one step away from Jie Dan late stage.
Wang Lin’s right hand moved toward his bag of holding and took out bottles of immortal pills made by Li MuWan. He started to put them into his mouth, one by one. Time flew by really quickly. The moment a pill was consumed, the Ling Qi Stealing Technique would completely absorb it. Right before the Ling Qi entered this body, Wang Lin would redirect it toward his Jie Dan.
As a result, his cultivation quickly increased as he broke through Jie Dan middle stage into Jie Dan late stage.
Next, Wang Lin took out the most valuable object in his bag of holding; the spinal liquid that he obtained from the dragon in the tunnel.
The spinal liquid from the dragon was only enough to fill a small bottle. One could see how precious it was. This was the most precious drug Wang Lin had obtained so far. After hesitating, he opened up the bottle.
After drinking a gulp, his body released a burning heat. The Ling Qi Stealing technique activated and quickly circulated the Ling Qi. Time slowly passed. Wang Lin could clearly feel his Jie Dan become larger, its color more bright, and its spinning even faster.
After the gulp of spinal liquid was absorbed, Wang in took another.
One day, two days, three days… until a month later, Wang Lin had been closed-eye cultivating the entire time. The Ling Qi Stealing Technique was constantly active in his body.
There were only ten drops of the spinal liquid left. The Jie Dan in his body was about the size of two fists.Its color was golden, with faint glow of red. Every time it spun, the meridians in his body would ache, but he still hadn’t broken into YuanYing stage.
A month ago, Wang Lin took a pill that would increase the chances of his Yuan Ying forming, but the pill only turned the Jie Dan red, with no sign of it breaking and forming a Yuan Ying.
After pondering for a while, Wang Lin let out a sigh. He wondered if others had this much difficulty forming their Yuan Ying, but it seemed it was lot harder than he had imagined.
He was running low on pills in his bag of holding, and there wasn’t much Liquid Ling Qi left. After pondering for a while, he arrived at where Situ Nan and his parents were. He kowtowed a few times in front of his parents, then pointed his finger to his brow and left the Heaven Revolting Space.
Outside the Sea of Knowledge, Wang Lin’s body went from an illusionary form to more and more solid one. He stared at the Sea of Knowledge and let out a sigh. Based on his plans before, if he was lucky enough to enter the Yuan Ying stage, then he might have a chance to enter the Dead Soul Sea. Perhaps the moment he gained the inheritance, he would be able to leave the Ancient God’s body.
But now, he wasn’t confident.
After pondering for a while, Wang Lin raised his hand and a cold look appeared in his eyes. Now there was only one road left. If he didn’t want to be trapped here, always avoiding the pursuit of the demonic cultivators forever, there was only one way.
His right hand grabbed at the void,created a rift, and entered it. After coming out, he left the Sea of Knowledge and arrived somewhere within the Qi Sea.
After he appeared, he hesitated. Both of his hands came together and sent out a few rays of light in all directions, creating many rifts. As the rifts were sealed up, he spread out his divine sense in all directions. As a result, the demonic cultivators that had been bitterly looking for him noticed his presence and quickly charged toward him.
Soon, the demonic cultivators appeared near Wang Lin, one by one. They stared at Wang Lin, revealing smiles. One of them was Hunchback Meng. After he saw Wang Lin, that feeling of disgust appeared. Without a word, his right hand reached out to grab Wang Lin.
Wang Lin’s expression was normal, and he was very calm. As Hunchback Meng reached toward him, he sneered, “Don’t you want to break the seal on your master?”
The moment Wang Lin said those words, although all the surrounding demonic cultivators’ expressions remained normal, their eyes were filled with surprise. Hunchback Meng was stunned and he stopped his right hand.
Wang Lin noticed this pause. He confirmed now that what he guessed was correct. Now the only thing he needed to confirm was that their master was the red haired man trapped in the Blood Sea.
Hunchback Meng’s face was gloomy and showed uncertainty. He let out a cold snort and his right hand grabbed toward Wang Lin even faster.
Wang Lin wore a steely expression. He didn’t move an inch. He had already set up traps here ahead of time. If anyone tries to catch him, the nearby rift would quickly tear open and bring him away from this place. After all, they were in the Ancient God’s body, and no one was more familiar with this place than him.
His eyes were calm. If Meng made a move and none of the other demonic cultivators intervened, his prediction was wrong. They don’t care if the soul devourer was dead or alive.
The moment Hunchback Meng’s hand was about to catch Wang Lin, a cold voice suddenly resounded
“Stop!”
The moment the voice was heard, Hunchback Meng felt like he was being held by an invisible hand and was thrown back. He stopped after spitting out a few mouthfuls of black blood, then kneeled on the ground. There wasn’t any resentment in his face. He respectfully said, “Greetings Lord Duo Mu.”
Meanwhile, all the other demonic cultivators kneeled down.
The middle aged man that had destroyed Sky Devil Magician’s plan appeared before Wang Lin, staring at him with a cold expression.
Wang Lin’s expression was calm as he replied.
“You really are a soul devourer. Very good, follow me!” After the middle aged man finished speaking, he waved his hand in the void and a rift hundreds of feet wide appeared in the sky.
