The woman raised her hand and called to the dragon and tiger tattoos. The two tattoos immediately trembled and then, without any hesitation, they flew to the woman. The two tattoos circled the woman as if they were very happy.
Shortly after, the woman slowly returned to the scroll and following her were the two tattoos.
The third ancestor in the eleventh layer immediately coughed out blood. This was an injury caused by her tattoo beasts being stolen. Her face was filled with shock.
âWhich ancestor is this? She was willing to seal herself into the Tattoo Beast Atlas to become a tattoo beast herselfâŠâ The third ancestor took a deep breath, then she pointed at her forehead and a nine-leaf plant appeared.
âTattoo Beast Altas, return!â
The scroll in the first layer quickly closed after the third ancestor called it and disappeared.
Wang Linâs eyes lit up. Without a word, he grabbed his scroll. He didnât have time to check it as he flew toward the exit.
At the giant hole leading out of the Immortal Graveyard, Wang Lin surrounded himself with soul fragments once more to get through the tree. It was now night outside and completely dark.
The moment he came out, he disappeared once more without a trace. Wang Lin didnât return the domain soul fragment to the third ancestor. Ever since this domain soul fragment had left the third ancestor, it was its own existence and was no longer under her control. Otherwise, there would have been no way for the Giant Demon Clan ancestor to obtain it.
If the third ancestor had any control, she probably would have taken it back when she saw Wang Lin.
In addition, Wang Lin could tell from their talk that she didnât care too much about this domain soul fragment; it was as if it didnât matter whether she had it or not.
However, to Wang Lin, this domain soul fragment had great use. It was his ace to deal with a certain person.
Zhuque Zi was currently cultivating in the back mountain of Mount Suzaku. There was a red crystal floating before him. This crystal was shaped like a heart. It was the Cultivation Planet Heart, which was used to control the Cultivation Planet Crystal.
Shortly after, Zhuque Zi opened his eyes. There was a trace of madness in his eyes. This kind of gaze didnât appear on him often.
âYunque Zi, I donât hate the Forsaken Immortal Clan, but my hatred for you is too great! You traitor, haha, what a good betrayal! Although I was injured when you sneak attacked me, I was excited. Qian Pinghai, if you still have a soul, take a good look; this is the person you chose!
âYunque Zi, you and I grew up together and have similar talent, yet why did the previous Suzaku, Qian Pinghai, always look favorably upon you? He always had praise for you, yet to me, he was always full of abuse. He always looked at me with a cold gaze; it felt like he would have killed me if I made a single mistake.
âWhen he gave me the Mysterious Suzaku Formation, I was very excited and felt very grateful to him. I even forgot all the unhappiness in the past and only had one thought in my mind: give my life to planet Suzaku and become a good Suzaku.
âHowever, I never thought that Qian Pinghai was that vicious. The Mysterious Suzaku Formation is a double-edged sword. Every time it is used, the origin soul suffers great damage. If it is used too much, the origin soul will never be able to recover. Even now that heâs dead, I still donât understand why he did all of this!
âIf it wasnât for the fact that I had secretly planned for many years and finally got the Cultivation Planet Crystal from the last Suzaku when he died, Iâm afraid that this generationâs Suzaku wouldnât have been me.
âQian Pinghai, you were blind to appoint Yunque Zi as the next Suzaku! If I had followed your order and given Yunque Zi the Cultivation Planet Crystal, the planet would have been taken by the Forsaken Immortal Clan. Qing Pinghai, you old fart, I didnât bury your body in the Suzaku grave but sold it to the Corpse Sect! That was the only way to sooth my hatred for you.
âQian Pinghai, the truth proves that Iâm the most suited person to be the next Suzaku. You were wrong back then, so, so wrong!
âThis old man searched through the entire planet and finally found Qian Feng among your descendants. This person has the same spirit root as you and he looks similar to you as well. Every time I see him, my hatred for you increases a bit. This old man is going to raise him and give him the Mysterious Suzaku Formation. Every time I see him use it, my heart will be filled with joy!
âThis is the only way for me to repay you for what you have done to me.
âYunque Zi, you know about the existence of the Cultivation Planet Crystal. You gave me three months to consider if it is worth it to destroy everything to get help from the Cultivation AllianceâŠ
âAlthough the Cultivation Planet Crystal was sealed by the second Suzaku, which made it so that the future Suzakus wonât be able to control it, as long as the Cultivation Planet Heart breaks, it can still cause the Cultivation Planet Crystal to break as well. However, the price is too big because even I have a piece of my soul inside. Once the Cultivation Planet Crystal breaks, then even I will die.
âThe Cultivation Alliance wonât casually get involved in matters with every cultivation planet, but that is only under the premise that the Cultivation Planet Crystal doesnât break. The Cultivation Alliance is almost crazy about keeping the Cultivation Planet Crystals intact. This matter is filled with mysteries and none of the previous Suzakus could figure out why. However, one thing is for sure: once the Cultivation Planet Crystal shatters, the Cultivation Alliance will immediately send people to investigate. At that moment, your tiny Forsaken Immortal Clan will die for sure!
âYou gave me three months of time to let me carefully consider this because you didnât want to push me too far. Yunque Zi, this old man is going to play a game with you. If you can get this Cultivation Planet Crystal before my life ends, then I have no problem giving it to you. But once you lose, this old man will have to go crazy and destroy the Cultivation Planet Crystal to drag your Forsaken Immortal Clan down with me!
âThis old man canât be the first Suzaku, but I can still be the last Suzaku. Donât give me the chance!â
The madness in Zhuque Ziâs eyes deepened and he began to laugh like crazy.
To the west of the Suzaku continent was a plain. This plain was covered in thousands of simple huts.
There were cultivators cultivating inside and outside the huts.
Most of these cultivators were disciples of sects from rank 5 cultivation countries. This place was the western defense line.
The three months of truce was a good time for them to recover. However, it didnât mean that they had dropped their guard; there was still a large number of cultivators out patrolling.
The area 5,000 kilometers away from them was covered by a black cloud. That was where the Forsaken Immortal Clanâs western assault army was located.
In the center of the cultivatorsâ camp there was a very lavish hut. Qian Feng sat inside it with Red Butterfly behind him. There was confusion in her eyes along with a very well-hidden sense of struggle.
Qian Fengâs eyes were like lightning as he stared at the black cloud in the distance. His expression was very gloomy.
âWhat is that old man thinking? Things are getting too dangerous. We might as well give up on planet Suzaku and go far away then come back when we have the power to win. If this stalemate continues for too long, peopleâs hearts will break.â
His eyes lit up, he let out a cold snort, and muttered to himself, âI wonder where that Ceng Niu is. He dared to injure me. If I meet him, I will definitely devour his domain. Although the one-billion-soul soul flag is powerful, the old man gave me a treasure. Seeing how bothered the old man was, this treasure must be very powerful. With this treasure I have a certain amount of confidence in dealing with Ceng Niuâs one-billion-soul soul flag.
âHowever, it is best not to use the treasure the old man gave me unless I have to. That old bag of bones hid his intentions well, but long ago I noticed that his attitude towards me is a bit strange.
âI will require junior apprentice sisterâs help to devour Ceng Niuâs domain. Iâll have to carefully plan this out! After I devour this personâs domain and capture junior apprentice sister, Iâll leave this planet. The universe is large and I can do wherever I want. Before, I cared about the title of Suzaku, but now that the planet is a mess, that title is useless to me! However, before I leave, I have to kill that slut, Zi Xin!â
One month later, a figure appeared near the Corpse Sect in Zhao. This person was a young man wearing a white robe. His face gave off an ancient aura.
He was Wang Lin.
After leaving the Immortal Graveyard, Wang Lin didnât rest and used the transfer array in Chu to enter the foreign battleground. He wanted to use the wandering souls there to repair the one-billion-soul soul flag.
Unfortunately, although he had found wandering souls, they couldnât be used to repair the one-billion-soul soul flag. The moment a wandering soul entered the soul flag, it would go crazy. It would either devour soul fragments to make itself stronger or be attacked by multiple soul fragments and be destroyed.
The two were natural enemies, so, like fire and water, they couldnât be mixed.
As a result, using the wandering souls to repair the one-billion-soul soul flag was a failure.
As for soul devourers, Wang Lin caught one to test, but the result was the same, so he gave up on this method and left the foreign battleground.
The last thing Wang Lin needed to do was get to the giant body under the Corpse Sect in Zhao.
This body belonged to the Giant Demon Clan ancestor that brought the Giant Demon Clan to planet Suzaku.
Wang Lin had a giant axe in his bag of holding. This axe belonged to this founding ancestor.
Wang Lin came to extract a large amount of blood from this Giant Demon Clan ancestor so his original body could use the blood to use the ancient godsâ techniques. This was part of his preparations for leaving this place.
Wang Lin had no interest in getting involved with the mess on planet Suzaku; he only wanted to get the Cultivation Planet Crystal to retrieve that piece of his soul. Then he will go to planet Tian Yun to find the All-Seer and become his disciple. He will then cultivate to the Ascendant stage under a new sky.
He will definitely come back to planet Suzaku in the future, but at that time, he wonât be someone caught in someone elseâs plan; he will be like an emperor that the current Suzaku will have to look up to.
âAnd Iâll definitely have a chance to see just what kind of powerful organization this Cultivation Alliance really is!â
Wang Lin took a deep breath. As he looked into the sky, his urge to leave increased.
âHowever, before leaving, although I have no way of dealing with Zhuque Zi, I have to test his two disciples, Liu Mei and Qian Feng.â
