Chapter 2057. Failed (1/2)

Some of the Ancient clan members believed that the Ancient Ancestor was not dead and was still alive! Most people believed that even if the Ancient Ancestor was dead, his spirit was still there!

The Ancient Ancestor’s spirit was still guarding the three clans. Otherwise, how could the strange scene that took place during the trials at the ancestral temple in the three clans be explained, and how could the blessing given by the Ancient Ancestor statue be explained?

How could the halos that appeared around the Ancient Ancestor statue when someone was going through the Ancient Dao Three Soul Splits be explained?

During the Ancient Dao Three Soul Splits, when the first soul split happens, nine halos appear around the Ancient Ancestor statue. During the second soul split, 18 halos would appear, and during the third soul split, a total of 27 halos would appear!

At this moment, in the imperial city, outside the Ancient Ancestor statue, 18 halos were shining and ripples were spreading in all directions, attracting the attention of everyone in the imperial city.

Song Tian was standing 10,000 feet outside the ancestral city, looking at the 18 halos. He silently pondered for a moment before he turned to leave. Three years ago, he had come to compensate for his actions and for his own peace of mind.

Now he had guarded Wang Lin for three years. Although he wasn’t the only one here, he had made his decision. If Wang Lin had faced danger during these three years, he would certainly have helped.

Now that the first soul split was complete, he felt that there was no reason to stay. He didn’t look back when he returned to his Origin Mountain. He stopped paying attention to the ancestral temple and began to cultivate.

Wang Lin clearly felt Song Tian’s departure. As he sat inside the ancestral temple, the shadow above him was much larger than before. Although Wang Lin’s cultivation level hadn’t increased, he could feel that he was stronger than before!

With his current cultivation level, even a small increase in strength was still shocking!

“If I can completely pass this calamity with perfection each time and get the soul blood… will I be able to pass the fourth bridge when I go back to the Heaven Trampling Bridges?” Wang Lin muttered to himself.

Wang Lin took a deep breath and his eyes shined. He looked at the shadow above his head.

“The first soul split took three years. The last moments were almost like death. If not for my will, then I fear I wouldn’t have been able to fuse back together...

“This Ancient Dao Three Soul Splits is related to willpower… But also luck…”Wang Lin frowned, and now he fully understood why so few people chose to attempt a complete split.

Luck may come once, or maybe even twice, but three times in a row… was very unlikely.

“Then this second time…”Wang Lin closed his eyes, and after a long time, he reopened them. He was determined.

“Luck is important, but if one has a powerful enough will to surpass luck everything, that works fine as well!”Wang Lin formed a seal with his hand and the shadow appeared above him. He closed his eyes once more!

The moment he closed his eyes, the shadow above his head trembled and thin cracks appeared on it. The second soul split began!

In the sky of the imperial city, Xuan Luo looked down with a smile. He sat down and continued to guard his disciple.

In his heart, although the Ancient Dao needed his protection, his disciple, who would be weakened during this soul split, also needed his protection.

In a flash, three years passed.

The 18 halos above the Ancient Shi imperial city seemed to have become part of the city. Many people of the Ancient Shi seemed to have become used to their existence.

Although they would still pay attention to the halos, their curiosity had slowly dissipated as time passed. Now they only had one guess remaining in their hearts.

They were guessing how long this person can endure the second soul split.

After three years passed, another three years went by!

After a total of six years, the 18 halos around the Ancient Ancestor statue remained. This made it so there was no difference between day and night in the imperial city.

Even at night, the light from the halos lit up the entire imperial palace.

10 years had passed since the second soul split began. Some of the younger children born during this time thought that the sky of the imperial city had always been like this.

The rumor of 10 years of soul split gradually spread across the Ancient clan. Even people of the Ancient Dao and Ancient Ji had come to see.

Time continue to pass. When the 10th year passed, the head of the shadow above Wang Lin shattered completely. He was suffering unimaginable pain, but he still endured.

Those invisible fragments continued to break down, and once they became dust, it would represent the second time his origin soul had shattered completely.

The Ancient Shi Emperor seemed to have given up on some unrealistic ideas and had stopped paying attention to the Ancient Ancestor statue. He focused on guiding Ji Du to slowly inherit the throne.
