Chapter 961. Wang Lin’s Embarrassment (1/2)
Wang Lin calmly said, “Fourth Sister please enter.”
The breathing outside the pavilion was heavy, and after a long time, the door was pushed open. A beautiful woman in purple walked in biting her lower lip.
Although this woman’s appearance was not as stunning as Li Mei, she was still beautiful. However, there were traces of the passage of time on her face, making her feel a bit aged.
After she entered the room, she silently sat in a chair. She didn’t look at Wang Lin; her empty eyes silently looked at the empty space before her.
The room was completely silent as Wang Lin closed his eyes and continued to cultivate. However, he soon felt a faint divine sense that stretched out from between the woman’s eyebrows.
As his divine sense spread out, it spread toward Wang Lin. It wasn’t fast, it eased its way over like it was very hesitant.
As the divine sense approached, Wang Lin’s eyes opened and a ray of light shined out of them. The divine sense trembled and wanted to retreat, but it was instantly frozen in the air.
The face of the woman in purple was deathly pale. She could feel that if her divine sense moved at all, Wang Lin would instantly devour it.
Wang Lin stared at the woman in purple and loosened his lock on her divine sense, allowing her divine sense to return to her body. She couldn’t hide anything before Wang Lin. There were six seals on her body, sealing her cultivation. What she revealed to the outside was only late stage Soul Transformation.
If it was the Wang Lin back then, he wouldn’t be able see through this. However, now he only needed one gaze to completely see through the woman in purple.
Wang Lin frowned slightly and said,
“What does Fourth Sister want?”
The woman in purple opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she remained silent.
“Since Fourth Sister doesn’t have anything, then I won’t be sending you off.” With that, Wang Lin waved his sleeve. A gentle breeze appeared, causing the woman’s body to tremble and step rapidly toward the door. Just as she arrived at the door, her eyes revealed a decisive gaze and she whispered, “Wang Lin, now that you have reached the second step, aren’t you afraid of the crisis that might befall you in the Heavenly Fate Sect?”
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and his right hand reached out. He pulled the woman in purple back in and calmly said, “What does Senior Sister mean?”
The woman in purple clenched teeth as she looked up at Wang Lin and softly said, “If you hadn’t fled back then, it’s likely you would have gone inexplicably missing over the past few hundred years!
“I presume you already noticed that within the Heavenly Fate Sect, none of the thousands of inner and outer disciples and even us direct disciples, no one’s cultivation has reached the Illusionary Yin stage!”
Wang Lin’s expression was calm as he silently looked at the woman in purple.
“When someone breaks through the late stage of Ascendant and reaches the Illusionary Yin stage, that person will mysteriously disappear within a year. This matter is taboo within the Heavenly Fate Sect. Back then, your cultivation level wasn’t high enough to know this, and you presumably still don’t know.”
Wang Lin’s expression still didn’t change at all.
The woman in purple looked at Wang Lin. After she finished speaking, she found that Wang Lin’s expression still hadn’t changed. Her heart couldn’t help but sink, and she clenched her teeth. “I know you may not believe me, but I, Zhao Xinmeng, joined the sect at the age of seven and cultivated for a thousand years…”
Without waiting for Zhao Xinmeng, Wang Lin shook his head and said, “Are you not afraid of Teacher finding out that you’re speaking about this here?”
“Every day at 5 AM, Master goes into close door cultivation. Unless something major has occurred, he won’t come out. Master has had this habit for thousands of years.” Zhao Xinmeng seemed a bit hasty.
“Wang Lin, everything I say is true!”
Wang Lin pondered a bit and looked at Zhao Xinmeng. Then he said, “This is why you have six seals inside your body?”
Zhao Xinmeng wasn’t shocked by Wang Lin seeing through her. She revealed a trace of bitterness. “What else can I do beside this? A piece of my soul is in Master’s hands, so I simply can’t leave. Even if I were to leave, Master would only need but a thought for me to be completely destroyed.
“There are many people who seal their cultivation like me. Among them, the Red Division’s Sun Hong has the highest cultivation level. She has 11 seals on her body, forcing herself to stay at the mid stage of Ascendant. She even interfered with her own comprehension so that it won’t match her real cultivation level. If she were to release the seals, she could quickly reach the early stage of Nirvana Scryer.
“There is also the Red Division’s Lu Hai. If he released his seal, his cultivation level would immediately become peak Corporeal Yang.
“These are only people I know, but I believe there are those that have hidden themselves very well among the seven divisions! However, no matter how much our cultivation advances, we don’t dare to open the seals. Even if we reseal our cultivation after it has been open, we will mysteriously disappear within a year. If we were seriously injured and our cultivation level fell, those who didn’t hide their cultivation would be fine, but those of us who hid our cultivation level would still disappear.
