Chapter 958. Recognition (2/2)
After he spoke, the surrounding cultivators were all shocked. Ling Tianhou’s name was illustrious, and he was a master with spells that could shake the heavens. Every cultivator knew that Ling Tianhou only had one mortal enemy, and that was the All-Seer!
He seldom used his spells, and almost every single time he had used them, he was in a battle with the All-Seer.
However, Ling Tianhou had unexpectedly used a spell in his battle against Wang Lin. As a result, even if Wang Lin lost, he would immediately become famous.
As Ling Tianhou shouted, he pointed forward and the four origin swords fused into one. They became an ethereal sword that gave off bursts of hot energy. Then it turned, looking as if it was becoming liquid, and became colorful under the shining sun. Then it shot straight at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin’s expression was calm. He retreated a few steps, slapped his bag of holding, and shouted, “Five set of nine swords formation!
In an instant, rays of silver light flew out from his bag and flew together with the 27 swords. A total of 45 swords rotated like crazy, forming a vortex. Wang Lin’s hair flowed in the air as his hand closed and he mercilessly pointed forward!
“Heavenly Chop!”
With this point of his finger, the rate at which his origin energy cycled almost reached his peak. Countless Heavenly Chops flew out and merged with the vortex before him. The entire vortex trembled and then it condensed and shot forward.
Wang Lin had already refined 45 of these swords from the Slaughter Realm and changed their appearances. The only ones who could identify them now were people from the Slaughter Realm.
At this moment, this sword vortex that contained the power of countless Heavenly Chops collided with Ling Tianhou’s spell. At this moment, the world changed colors and reversed.
An intense rumble echoed across the world. The sounds of constant collapsing had replaced all sounds in the world.
If it wasn’t for the All-Seer blocking the shockwave of this impact, then it was likely a large part of planet Tian Yun would’ve collapsed. After the impact, Wang Lin’s body was pushed back. His 45 swords were not damaged, but they were bleak as they circled Wang Lin.
Facing him, the sword formed by Ling Tianhou collapsed and turned back into four origin swords. Ling Tianhou wasn’t pushed back, though his eyes lit up and he laughed. “Wang Lin, the grudge between you and the Da Lou Sword Sect is all gone. This old man won’t take the token away from you. Since you were the one who obtained it, then you have a position to enter the celestial cave!”
Ling Tianhou turned around and stepped out. The Da Lou Sword Sect disciples were all still confused, but they immediately followed. Rays of sword energy quickly went off into the distance.
“Ling Tianhou’s actions were very profound…” Wang Lin looked at Ling Tianhou’s figure and pondered.
The surroundings were completely silent. Whether it was the Heavenly Fate Sect disciples or the disciples brought by the old monsters, shock filled their eyes.
“Who would’ve thought Wang Lin would have the power to battle Ling Tianhou!?” Excitement filled Bai Wei’s eyes. Even now he still didn’t believe what he had witnessed.
Zhao Xingxia’s face was deathly pale and his gaze toward Wang Lin was filled with fear. He no longer dared to have any evil intent.
There was still the fourth sister, who had been downcast the entire time. The confusion in her eyes disappeared and she looked at Wang Lin with a mysterious gaze.
“If he can help me…” The woman bit her lower lip and made a decision.
Not only them, almost everyone who knew Wang Lin was shocked into a trance. In their eyes, Wang Lin’s figure from back then gradually fused with the white-robed figure they were looking at now.
Wang Lin didn’t put away the 45 flying swords, his gaze swept by before landing on the old man with the mountain of flesh body, and he calmly said, “Senior, am I qualified?”
The old man silently pondered before letting out a cold snort and saying to the All-Seer, “Fellow Cultivator All-Seer, I still have a batch of pills to refine, so I won’t disturb you anymore.”
With that, he shouted at the four disciples carrying him, “Return to the sect!”
The four disciples quickly nodded, then they lifted his huge body and disappeared into the distance.
The old man standing on the gourd looked profoundly at Wang Lin and laughed. “Fellow Cultivator Wang hid himself quiet well. This old man is called Strange Dream Tan. If you have time, you’re welcome to my Planet Dream.” With that, he clasped his hands at Wang Lin and left.
The person that left with him was the skinny old man. From the beginning, he had an indifferent expression. Even when he left, he didn’t say farewell to the All-Seer, he just left.
The last one to leave was the beautiful middle-aged woman. She looked at Wang Lin and smiled, “Fellow Cultivator Wang’s flying swords are filled with killing intent. However, too much killing intent can be hard to control. If you have time, please come to planet Zi Xia.” With that, she bowed toward the All-Seer and left with the four women behind her.
When they were leaving, the eyes of the woman in the pink dress shined. She looked at Wang Lin and smiled. “My teacher is good at refining, but the cost will not be expensive.”
“You little girl!” The beautiful woman chuckled and the three other woman also laughed. Only a few people noticed that the gaze the woman in the green dress had toward Wang Lin was very different.
“He perhaps has already forgotten about my name… After all, for him, it was a very small matter, but for me, he saved my life…” The woman sighed.
The woman in the pink dress asked, “Senior Sister Qian Qin,[1] what’s wrong?”
Qian Qin shook her head but didn’t speak.
Under the All-Seer’s order, the members of the Heavenly Fate Sect all scattered. In the square, there was no one else other than Wang Lin and the All-Seer. After everyone left, Wang Lin looked calmly at the All-Seer.
The master and disciple once again faced each other after hundreds of years.
The two of them pondered for a long time and the All-Seer slowly asked, “What do you plan to do?”
“Disciple wants to enter the Demon Spirit Land.” Wang Lin’s expression was respectful.
The All-Seer had his hand behind his back as he calmly said, “You have the qualifications. Whether it is as the Allheaven’s Thunder Celestial or as one of the Four Divine Sect’s Vermillion Bird Series. As far as I know, this generation of Vermillion Bird Series only has three people including you!”
Wang Lin silently pondered. He didn’t know much about the Vermillion Bird Series. After hearing this now, although he was moved, his expression revealed nothing.
1. This was when Wang Lin went out to train before going to the Demon Spirit Land. He encountered this group that found these fruits. Her sect was the one that found it but was too weak, so she called the Da Lou Sword Sect to help. They ended up taking it for themselves and used her sect members as bait. Wang Lin killed everyone except her and even gave her some of the fruit.
