Chapter 2012. A Step Up the Mountain! (1/2)

Xuan Luo was calmly standing there, but he began to struggle in his heart. He knew that this was Grand Empyrean Gu Dao being dissatisfied with him and making him wait outside.

He also knew that the source of this dissatisfaction was became his disciple, Wang Lin, had celestial cultivation and essences!

Grand Empyrean Gu Dao was someone who upheld tradition. He cared about the bloodline of the Ancient Ancestor, he cared about the generations of ancient emperors, and he also cared about the Ancient Ancestor’s bloodline!

But he obviously could not allow someone who had the soul blood to also contain the aura of the celestial clan.

Wang Lin’s body trembled. During the three days of time, the sounds of the bells entered his mind and rumbled. They suppressed his cultivation and tried to erase it.

“Whether it is the power of the Ancients or the celestials, they both belong to me and were obtained through my hard work. I refuse to lose my celestial cultivation!”Wang Lin’s eyes were bloodshot. His determination was firm and he continued to struggle against the bells!

The celestial power inside his body continued to attack in an attempt to scatter the bell sounds in his mind.

As Wang Lin’s body trembled violently, Xuan Luo’s eyes lit up. He turned around and raised his hand to help Wang Lin resist the bells. After all, Wang Lin was his disciple!

But just as Xuan Luo turned around, the door to the tower opened once more and the young man walked out.

“Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo, Ancestor Gu is summoning you.”

Xuan Luo paused for a moment and then silently pondered for a long time. With his right hand still pointed at Wang Lin, he turned toward the tower. The young man looked at Wang Lin profoundly before going back into the tower and closing the door.

Xuan Luo’s point had caused Wang Lin’s heart to suddenly rumble. This aura made Wang Lin feel warmth inside his body. It didn’t suppress his cultivation but resisted the sound of the bells inside his body.

It allowed Wang Lin’s cultivation and essences to relax a bit. His cultivation and essences quickly gathered. As Xuan Luo’s power permeated and the sound of the bells canceled out, they gradually faded after an unknown amount of time. Wang Lin’s cultivation and essences were rapidly cycling through his body when the bells began to move once more without any wind and another wave of sounds rushed into Wang Lin’s mind.

They began another confrontation with Wang Lin’s cultivation and essences.

Wang Lin coughed out a mouthful of blood and his body trembled. He retreated back down the steps from the top of the mountain.

“Dissipate your celestial cultivation, erase your essences, forget the memories of your past, awaken the inheritance of your bloodline… After that, I’ll grant you the title of guardian of the Ancient Dao and Grand Empyrean cultivation!” A cold and ancient voice echoed in Wang Lin’s heart along with the bells.

Wang Lin suddenly looked up.

His eyes were bloodshot and his cultivation suddenly activated. Along with his ancient power, he reached the peak of his cultivation.

“I don’t have have any celestial clan cultivation, what I have is my own strength that I obtained over my 3,000 years of life! What right do you have to make me dissipate it?!” Wang Lin roared and the bell sounds inside his body erupted. They collided with his cultivation and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. He continued to retreat as if something was pushing him, until he was standing on the middle of the mountain.

“My essences are my perceptions of life. They are the fruits of my life’s struggle. What right do you have to make me dissipate them!?” Wang Lin looked up and his eyes became even more bloodshot. He let out a roar of life.

As he roared, Wang Lin coughed out a third mouthful of blood. His body trembled as the sound of the bells collided with his cultivation once more. He retreated to the foot of the mountain. There were only 19 steps behind him!

“My memories are even more important than my cultivation, my essences, my bloodline, and the Grand Empyrean power you can give me! I live for my memories. What right do you have to make it forget them?!” Wang Lin let out his strongest roar. The bell sounds inside his body roared as if they had exploded.

Wang Lin coughed out the fourth mouthful of blood and retreated back 18 steps. At the last step, Wang Lin’s right foot stepped down with a bang and he forced himself to stop there.

Looking up, his eyes were bloodshot and his expression was fierce, but the power of the bells inside his body was being completely suppressed by him. With the power of the bells suppressed, Wang Lin’s cultivation erupted. His hair suddenly turned half black and half white, and behind him, the outline of a Grand Empyrean sun appeared!

This Grand Empyrean sun was also half black and half white. It gave off a strange light and allowed Wang Lin to display his strongest strength, strength comparable to a Grand Empyrean!

The moment Wang Lin’s Grand Empyrean sun appeared, the sky above Mount Gu Dao changed!

An indifferent voice came from the tower in the sky and echoed throughout the world. “Mount Gu Dao has a total of 999 steps. If you can get through 300, I can spare your sin of disrespect!”

At the top of the tower sat a figure covered in fog, and before him was Xuan Luo.

“Senior Gu Dao…” Xuan Luo became anxious.
