Chapter 901. Clearing All Karma (1) (1/2)
On planet Suzaku in the Great Wang Dynasty Imperial Palace, all the Wang clan members had gathered in the square. They were all kneeling on the ground, and their expressions were changing between excitement and fear.
It was completely silent.
Before them was the Imperial Ancestral Hall. There were countless tablets hanging in the hall. However, it was not luxurious and instead was very simple.
Wang Lin was standing inside the ancestral hall and was looking at the unfamiliar names on each of the tokens. Finally, he saw the tablet at the top which said “Ancestor Wang Zhuo”.
Wang Lin silently pondered as scenes of Wang Zhuo from back then flashed before his eyes.
Now that he had returned, they were separated by the heavens.
Wang Zhuo had indeed fulfilled his promise to Wang Lin. He allowed Wang Lin to cultivate in peace while he guarded the Wang family descendants until his lifespan ended.
Wang Lin let out a sigh. He felt like planet Suzaku was very unfamiliar when he returned this time. Even when it came to his own descendants, he felt no affection toward them.
The only thing he felt was melancholy and pain in his heart. He couldn’t find a trace of affection among these people.
For the first time, he personally felt that the passage of time was like a ruthless river that washed away all his good memories of the past...
Outside the ancestral hall, the Wang family descendants didn’t even dare to breath hard. Their heartbeats all accelerated as they carefully looked at the unfamiliar but yet familiar ancestor.
The eight elders were in front of all the Wang family descendants, and they were kneeling as well. As they silently looked at Wang Lin, it was as if they could feel the age and sadness from him.
Wang Lin’s gaze went down starting at the top tablet and then fell on one of the tablets. This tablet said “Ancestor Wang Yu”.
Wang Lin had same vague impression of the name Wang Yu. Back when the Forsaken Immortal Clan was in war with Suzaku, they were capturing young children that could cultivate. One of them was Wang Yu.
“That child’s life also ended…” The sadness around Wang Lin became even stronger. He felt a very complex emotion in his heart. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years had passed. Looking back, the passage of time had caused everything to change. It was very difficult to find even one person he knew.
As he pondered, he turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall. Looking at the people kneeling in the square, although they all contained his bloodline, he didn’t feel like they were relatives.
“All of you are now on your own. No more cultivators will get involved with the mortal world! As for the Great Wang Dynasty, if anyone has the skill, then you can keep the inheritance for thousands of years.
“If all of you are muddled-headed and ruthless, then there is no need for this wealth! Although the things from before were because you were all affected by the resentment, this dynasty is filled with sadness. If this was caused by my Wang family, then all of you should just be civilians!”
After dealing with the karma of the Wang family, Wang Lin coldly looked at all of his descendants and then waves his sleeves before flying into the air. Ta Shan and the big-headed boy followed. The 30-foot-tall Lei Ji followed as well.
After Wang Lin left, the square was completely silently. After a long time, the eight elders stood up with gloomy expressions. They mercilessly looked around at the surrounding people and one of them coldly said, “We were wrong to anger our ancestor. From today onward, there will be new clan laws, and anyone who violates them will be killed!”
Wang Lin moved between the heavens and earth. After dealing with his descendants, the melancholy in his heart didn’t decrease. He walked to the Cloud Sky Sect.
As he moved, his expression changed and he looked into the distance. He saw a centipede thousands of feet long quickly flying through the air with several cultivators on its back. One of the cultivators had the air of a celestial. He was wearing a yellow robe and had a sword on his back.
The gentle wind caused the man’s clothes to flutter and made him look every elegant.
“Sect Master Huanglong[1]!” When Wang Lin saw this person, his eyes immediately narrowed and shined. The portrait he saw in the Demon Spirit Land immediately appeared in his mind[2].
The centipede was very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye over the horizon. However, Wang Lin could clearly feel a gaze looking at him from the back of the centipede.
“Little Fellow is not bad!” A light chuckle entered Wang Lin’s ear following that gaze. The laughter faded and finally disappeared without a trace.
Wang Lin frowned slightly and looked at where the centipede disappeared. After pondering for a moment, Wang Lin headed toward the Cloud Sky Sect. This whole matter was too strange, and Wang Lin didn’t want to act carelessly.
Tie Yan was still sitting in the square waiting for Wang Lin in the Cloud Sky Sect. He knew Wang Lin would definitely come here.
He didn’t have much time left. His cultivation had degraded to the peak of the late stage of Soul Formation and could no longer break through back to Soul Transformation. He had slowly consumed all his lifespan.
Originally, with his qualifications and Wang Lin’s enlightenment, he shouldn’t have ended up like this. However, an accident happened 100 years ago, but that accident was by his own will.
