Chapter 2073. Cave World (1/2)
Wang Lin found all the old friends beside Li Qianmei and Qing Shui. He either released their memories or allowed them to choose to forget. Wang Lin had nothing to tie him to the Immortal Astral Continent anymore.
Before going to the Heavenly Bull Continent, he went to see Zhou Yi and Qing Shuang once more. From far away, he saw Zhou Yi’s happy smile. Wang Lin smiled as well; he felt happy for Zhou Yi.
The thousands of years of bitter love was now complete. When Wang Lin saw this, he took out a jug of wine and drank a big mouthful. This was wine he had gotten from Situ Nan and was a substitute for Zhou Yi and Qing Shuang’s wedding wine.
He also went to the ancestral city, and there he saw Hai Zi. However, he only looked from a distance and left.
The Heavenly Bull Continent, the place he first appeared in when he came out of the cave world. After so many years, he was now back again. He walked on this familiar continent, passing by the Great Soul Sect and the Gui Yi Sect.
The familiar scenes made him remember the past. At the center of the Heavenly Bull Continent, where the mountain range extend endlessly, Wang Lin silently looked at the earth below.
Wang Lin looked at the earth below and slowly said, “Heavenly Bull, back then, your soul armor helped me through through several crises… I, Wang Lin, always repay those that help me. Today, I’ll release the Celestial Ancestor’s soul and let you regain your freedom!
“But your body has already become the earth and can’t be recovered. I’ll release the soul on your seal and let it form an origin soul so you can leave the Immortal Astral Continent. Are you willing?”
His voice was not loud and didn’t spread in all directions, but as his words echoed, the earth began to tremble. Thunderous rumbles echoed as an earth aura rushed out and a giant shadow appeared above the mountain range.
The shadow was a Heavenly Bull, and its body was very large. It looked like it could support the world. Wang Lin looked extremely small before it, but the huge Heavenly Bull revealed a respectful expression as it knelt before Wang Lin.
“Thanks… I’m willing…” A buzzing sound echoed, and it was filled with excitement and longing. It had been sealed for far too long and made the Heavenly Bull filled with endless gratitude toward Wang Lin.
“No need to thank me. You helped me before, and I’m merely repaying you.” Wang Lin looked at the Heavenly Bull and pointed at it. The Heavenly bull trembled and revealed a painful expression. A large amount of runes appeared around his body and the lines of the runes seemed to take root in the Heavenly Bull’s body. The lines of the runes all connected to form a heart-like object.
It was constantly beating.
This was the core of the seal of the Heavenly Bull.
Looking at the heart-like object made of lines, Wang Lin pointed at it. All the runes around the Heavenly Bull collapsed. After they collapsed, the heart-like object inside the Heavenly Bull suddenly shrank.
A moment later, when it was only the size of a fingernail, it turned into a ray of ghostly light and flew out of the Heavenly Bull. It landed in Wang Lin’s hand and he crushed it.
The Heavenly Bull’s soul let out a roar at the sky and then it turned into ripples that echoed across the sky. Its soul shot into the sky, and when it was at the edge of the world, it turned around. It knelt toward Wang Lin once more and then disappeared like a meteor.
After the Heavenly Bull’s soul left, the Heavenly Bull Continent seemed different, but this was really difficult to detect. Wang Lin looked at where the Heavenly Bull had disappeared and walked toward the Seven Dao Sect.
Seven Dao Sect, the location of the cave world.
The mountain was surrounded by fog, making it so one couldn’t see too far. It was completely deserted, and no one had been there in a long time. However, there was a figure below the mountain, looking up.
This was a middle-aged man in blue. He was looking at the fog and could vaguely see the ruins behind it.
The man revealed a complicated expression and muttered to himself, “Seven Dao Sect…”
“I have finally arrived here…” The middle-aged man bitterly shook his head and walked up the broken road. He walked very slowly, as if he wanted to remember every blade of grass and tree.
After he penetrated the fog and arrived at the top of the mountain, he saw the Seven Dao Sect’s pavilions. The man’s eyes were filled with confusion.
He looked at everything before him for a long time before he let out a sigh. He walked through the broken sect until he arrived at the huge stone door in the back mountain. The door was connected to the mountain and was completely sealed. There was moss growing on it, creating the smell of decay.
The middle-aged man closed his eyes before the stone gate.
When he opened his eyes again, he looked at the door and bitterly muttered to himself, “The cave world’s gate…
“Behind the gate is the cave world… I reincarnated from there.” The man sighed. After regaining his memories of his previous life, he left his sect. He followed a feeling he had to arrive here.
He arrived at the Seven Dao Sect, before the gate to the cave world.
His body trembled slightly as he closed in on the gate and gently touched it. After a long time, he revealed a determined gaze and turned around to leave.
But just as he turned, he suddenly stopped. Behind him, he saw a smiling Wang Lin in white.
