Chapter 2050. Black, White, Gold! (1/2)

When Wang Lin opened his eyes inside the secret room, the figure covered in fog on top of the tower on Mount Gu Dao let out a sigh.

“There are… 400 years…”

At the celestial clan, the 72 souls had calmed down after howling and begging at the sky. However, only Grand Empyrean Jiu Di knew what had happened, and his heart was disturbed. He was cultivating, but he constantly looked at the sky with awe and longing in his eyes.

In his entire life, he longed for that legendary realm, but he still could not take that step.

“The reason Grand Empyrean Gu Dao is the strongest Grand Empyrean must be because he has taken that step!! I don’t know when I’ll be able to as well…”Jiu Di remained silent and he had a complicated expression for a long time before he let out a long sigh.

On Mount Emperor, Hai Zi was standing at the top of the mountain in a white dress. Her clothes danced in the wind and there was hesitation and confusion in her eyes.

During the previous divination, she felt a sense of familiarity. She hadn’t told Jiu Di about this as even she felt like it was just an illusion.

In the Ancient clan, on Origin Mountain, outside the Ancient Shi imperial capital, Grand Empyrean Song Tian’s face was pale. He looked into the distance with a complicated gaze, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

“Tec… Teacher…” Chi Man’s hesitant voice came from behind him.

“Shut up for me!” Song Tian didn’t turn around and interrupted Chi Man’s words. He didn’t want to listen to anything right now. He had to think about whether the upheaval in the 36 countries was related to Wang Lin.

Although he didn’t think there was a connection, there was a small chance that it was Wang Lin. In the case, he would need to change his decision-making and thought process.

“Forget it, I’ll go meet him and find out!”A moment later, Song Tian’s eyes lit up and he raised his right hand. As he pointed at the sky, a thunderous rumble echoed and power gathered from all sides. When the clouds scattered, a huge rift was torn open in the sky.

A giant head came out of the rift. This head was green and had two horns — it was an ancient devil! Large amounts of black gas surrounded the ancient devil, and as it roared, two large claws came out of the rift. It tore the rift open even wider and its whole body walked out.

Its body was 100,000 feet tall, and after it walked out, it let out a roar before kneeling down before Song Tian.

Staring at the giant ancient devil before him, Song Tian’s eyes lit up. His left hand touched his forehead and a ray of green light shot out toward the ancient devil and disappeared between its eyebrows.

Song Tian sat down with his eyes closed, but the ancient devil’s eyes revealed a monstrous light. It had a gloomy expression as it moved back into the rift and disappeared.

The moment the Ancient Devil disappeared, Wang Lin let out a deep breath in the Luo Huo country. His eyes were filled with determination, and after he checked his body’s cultivation level, he frowned a moment later.

He couldn’t tell what cultivation level he was at now. He had passed peak Void Tribulant but was not a Grand Empyrean yet. He felt like the so-called Grand Empyrean was half a step from his current state.

This half step seemed very short but was actually a large gap that was very difficult to cross.

“Halfway into Heaven Trampling…”Wang Lin rubbed his temples and he looked at the Celestial Emperor’s soul he had been refining inside his soul fire for 100 years. The ancestral curse still remained and he had found it difficult to refine with his previous cultivation level.

At this moment, his eyes lit up and his right hand reached toward the Celestial Emperor’s soul. When he grabbed it, the soul fire around it disappeared, leaving only the soul.

Looking at the soul, Wang Lin had a strange feeling. He had an illusion that he didn’t need to use too much effort to easily remove the ancestral curse.

This was naturally due to the fact that there wasn’t much of the ancestral curse left. It had been shared by Jiu Di and the others, and he had been refining it for 100 years in his soul fire. However, even so, if it was before, he would have needed to refine it for 100 more years in his soul fire before he could expel it completely.

With that strange gaze in his eyes, Wang Lin’s left index finger penetrated the soul and touched the grey gas inside it.

Wang Lin softly whispered, “Scatter.”

The moment he said this one word, a distortion appeared inside the secret chamber and countless lines appeared around Wang Lin’s left index finger. The lines entered the grey gas inside the Celestial Emperor’s soul.

This mass of grey gas trembled and then rapidly dissipated until none remained.
