Chapter 1197 - Sovereign [1]
Wang Lin held the jade and his divine sense carefully swept past it.
āIt has been three yearsā¦ Second Brother is dead and Third Brother is also deadā¦ They became Lost Ones and wandered hereā¦ I saw them four days ago, but they no longer recognize me and just walked past meā¦ I canāt let things continue, I must find a way.ā
āThis is the sixth year since I came here, and I found a jade. It contains a restriction called āTime Restriction.ā I must learn itā¦ā
āUncle-Master left. He went into the depths of this place. He told me a voice had called himā¦ This is the 11th year since I came hereā¦ I manage to grasp a bit of the Time Restriction.ā
āHow much time has passed? It must have been at least 30 years. The Enlightened Ones attacked once more, and I clearly saw Uncle-Master among themā¦ They took away Fifth Brother and Sixth Brotherā¦ā
āI have finally mastered the Time Restriction. I and the remnants of my sect set a giant Time Restriction in an valley. Ninth Brother sacrificed his life to reinforce the time of this restriction. Before he died, he made me promise him that I would take his remains back to the Heaven Breaking Sectā¦ I promised, but can I do itā¦
āThe Time Restriction has protected the valley, and the valley has become my homeā¦ However, I didnāt find the warmth of home. I only saw familiar faces gradually become unfamiliar.
āI canāt continue like this. I must find a way. Iām going to save them!ā
Wang Lin silently pondered as he looked at the skeleton before him. The contents of the jade ended. He looked at the second jade and picked it up. His divine sense entered it.
āIt has been 100 years. There is no night or day, so I canāt accurately calculate the time here. However, by judging the power of the Time Restriction, it should have been 100 years. Just why do I feel like 1,000 years have passā¦ 13th Brother destroyed his own body and diedā¦ He couldnāt bear this kind of existence any longer.
āThe people around me have become Lost Ones or Enlightened Ones. Only me, 16th Brother, and Fourth Uncle remain. I know we are sinners, and perhaps this is our punishment. However, Iām unwilling to yield!! I wonāt yield!
āToday is a day I will never forgot. It has been more than 130 years since I came here, and this was the first time the Defying Ones appeared. Fourth Uncle turned into a Defying Oneā¦
āTheyāre all gone. Only 16th Brother and I remainā¦ However, I thought of a method to save them. I must try, even if it means death! I said goodbye to 16th Brother and left the valley.
āI brought back Second Brother and Third Brother, along with everyone else that became Lost Onesā¦ I entered the depths of the mountain and found Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, who became Enlightened Ones, and brought them back. I then went into the depths of this place. I was very familiar with the path thereā¦ā
āI found Second Uncle and brought him back.ā
The jade ended here. Wang Lin stared at the jade as he put it down. He pondered about the contents for a long time and then picked up the third jade!
āI have already been here for more than 300 years and have gone to all the places I can go. I found a bead that could seal the spells of Defying Ones! I donāt know what they are exactly, but in order to save Fourth Uncle, I searched a majority of the places and found a few more beads.
āThat was the fourth time I went into the depths of this place. I knew that it was here that Fourth Uncle faced those powerful Defying Ones. I used the beads to seal all their spellsā¦ I searched for a few years before I finally found Fourth Uncleā¦ Itās justā¦ I didnāt expect him to be there, so I failedā¦ A seven-colored nail pierced into my bodyā¦ This nail was very strange; it immediately melted inside my body.
āI finally escaped and returned to the valley in a blur. My consciousness gradually faded and an insane idea kept appearing in my mind. This insane idea wanted me to kill all living creatures I could seeā¦ Itās just that the only other living thing here besides me was 16th Brother.
āI drove 16th Brother out of the valley. I gave my identity token and beast bone to him. I made him leave the valley and told him to come back in 10 yearsā¦ 16th Brother leftā¦ I sat in the valley, looking up at the seven-colored sky, waiting for the final madness to come.ā
āSecond Brother, Third Brother, and all my fellow sect members, if any of you awaken and see my jades, you will know what happened in those hundreds of years...
āAlso, I have collected a lot of those strange beads. I vaguely found some clues about them. These stone beads are not natural; they were refined by someone. There was no difference between their size, weight, or surfaceā¦ It is as if someone came here and used a special spell to make these beads a long time agoā¦
āMy consciousness became blurred, but I had a feeling something was pulling at my origin soulā¦ I donāt know why, but at that moment, my consciousness became clear and a crazy idea emerged in my headā¦ Maybe I should do itā¦ If I succeed, I wonāt go crazy. I willā¦ be reborn!
āMy consciousness seemed to leave my body and extended into the starry skyā¦ I sawā¦ a person. A middle-aged man in a black robe with a round mark between his eyebrows. He said that his name was āSovereignā¦āā
Wang Linās face turned pale and he sucked in a breath of cold air. He subconsciously took a few steps back and stared at the jade in his hand and the skeleton. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
ā Sovereignā¦ ā Wang Lin wasnāt unfamiliar with this name! In Qing Linās cave, he learned that outside the sealed realm, there was a powerful existence called the Sovereign!
However, at that moment, the Sovereign was a far away existence, a powerhouse from Qing Linās era. A long time had passed since then.
However, Wang Lin didn't expect to find a jade with information about the Sovereign in the Cloud Sea Star System, in this Seven-Colored World, in this valley!
Wang Lin closed his eyes and couldnāt help but think back to when Qing Shui was battling the Moongazer Serpent. He had collapsed the void, resulting in those two mysterious cultivators showing up!
Those two people were residents of the outer realm! If not for the Heaven Defying Bead appearing, he would have been capture by them!
āBack when the old man saw the Heaven Defying Bead, he called me the Sovereign of the Sealed Realmā¦ā Wang Lin opened his eyes and let out a deep breath. His mind was like the raging sea after learning of the information inside the jade. He couldnāt calm down for a long time.
āThis Seven-Colored Realm is related to the All-Seer and also the Sovereignā¦ Especially these seven-colored nails that can make one go crazy and kill all living thingsā¦ Senior Brother Qing Shui said that before the Celestial Realm Collapsed, he was in closed door cultivation when he suddenly went mad. Even he himself doesnāt know whyā¦ All of this was related to going mad!!
āAlso, the old Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor said that after Senior Brother Qing Shui went to the Cultivation Alliance, he went crazy againā¦ What kind of secret is behind all of this? It must be related to that Sovereign!
āAll-Seer, Qing Shui, Sima Mo, Sovereignā¦ā Wang Lin silently pondered.
After a long time, he let out a sigh and looked at Sima Moās skeleton with a complicated expression. There was no trace of destruction around Sima Mo, meaning he didnāt go crazy in the end!
Since he didnāt go crazy, then that idea related to the Sovereign had succeeded!
āI didnāt think this would be the spatial crack that the Heaven Breaking Sect found back thenā¦ It is also where the beast bone pill recipe appeared! However, how did the beast bone and jade leave this placeā¦ Could it be that the 16th Brother somehow left this place, causing the jade and beast bone to appear in the Cloud Sea once moreā¦
āThen there is the person that was mentioned in the jadeā¦ Who is heā¦ According to Sima Mo, the Heaven Breaking Sect didnāt know of this place back then. They came here because of that personās wordsā¦ And hundreds of years later, Sima Mo unexpectedly saw that mysterious person again!ā Wang Lin rubbed his temples. The more he learned, the more confused he became.
He raised his head and looked at the nine caves sealed by rocks. Wang Lin arrived next to the first cave and looked at the rock. His eyes lit up and looked at it for a very long time before he placed his right hand on it. His origin energy gently entered the rock.
The rock made a rumbling sound as it was moved to the side.
The moment the cave was open, the smell time and decay flew out. This cave was very small, only 100 feet wide. There was a grey light, and 10 beads the size of a babyās fist floated inside the light.
Every single bead contained a faint rune and was flashing. However, they were giving off a grey light that was hard to see. If you werenāt careful, it was easy to miss.
After seeing the beads, Wang Linās mind trembled. He immediately recognized them as what Master Ashen Pine had used to summon the spells of the Defying Ones!
āThe contents of the jades are indeed true!ā Wang Linās eyes lit up as his right hand reached out and one of the beads flew into his grasp. His divine sense spread out and he carefully observed it. Wang Linās expression changed greatly! It was as if countless bolts of thunder had exploded in his mind!
When Master Ashen Pine took out the beads, he was very fast and it was inconvenient for Wang Lin to take try to get a closer look, because it would distract him from the battle. Wang Lin had only taken a glance and didnāt get a closer look, but now he could clearly examine them.
āHeaven defying beadā¦ā
