History's Number 1 Founder

As the Zhujian Grand Sage cultivated the pearl, it began to shrink as if he was melting into rays after rays of mystic light, which then placed implanted themselves on the illusory realm around Wang Lin, Ning Wan’ge and the rest.

The originally shapeless and formless illusory realm, which was completely connected to the external Ying Sea, started to ripple likes waves in water, as it gradually revealed its shape.

In that entire process, the illusory realm started to disintegrate.

Wang Lin and Ning Wan’ge witnessed everything before them. Both were shocked. After all, the illusory realm where they were in was somewhere that could even endanger Immortal Soul Third Level and Undying Demon Soul Third Level cultivators and demons.

The Zhujian Grand Sage was a Cardinal Tribulations Beginner Stage demon. His demonic powers were exceptional, but control over reality and illusion was not his forte. For him to be able to easily see through this illusion, it must be because of the pearl.

Ning Wan’ge looked at it for a while and nodded her head and said, “It’s an oyster pearl, and it belonged to an Undying Demon Soul Third Level Mirage Oyster.”

Wang Lin’s expression was calm as his gaze flashed. “There’s only one recorded Undying Demon Soul Third Level Mirage Oyster and it was the Mirage Oyster Grand Sage. However, he died many years ago. I did not expect that his pearls are still around.”

This pearl was produced by the Mirage Oyster Grand Sage. It could summon a powerful illusion, but faced with an illusion it can easily differentiate between real and fake and help the user see through it. It was mystical indeed.

Depending on whether it was called to create an illusion or destroy one, the pearl’s power would deplete irreversibly at different rates. Once all its powers were depleted, the pearl would disappear too.

To destroy the powerful illusion where Wang Lin, Ning Wan’ge and the rest were, the entire pearl would be sacrificed.

The pearl formerly belonged to the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, who later gave it to the Zhujian Grand Sage.

Because their center of operation was in the East Sea, which was not too far from the entrance into the Ying Sea, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage made the Zhujian Grand Sage bring this along just in case.

Even though neither the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage nor the Zhujian Grand Sage would enter the Ying Sea if there was no need, there was no harm in preparing for it. To them, this was an irreplaceable object.

The pearl became smaller and smaller and finally, it was completely used up. However, the light from it completely eliminated the illusion around Ning Wan’ge, Wang Lin, and the rest.

Wang Lin’s gaze flashed with cold light as he looked quietly at the Zhuijan Grand Sage, the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage, and the Feiyi Grand Sage before him.

After the illusion was wiped clean, the Zhujian Grand Sage and the other two demons could clearly sense what was going on within. Earlier, they followed the Tuo Kong Grand Sage’s trace here and knew nothing about the existence of Wang Lin and Ning Wan’ge.

Now, as he looked at the cold, emotionless Wang Lin, whose white hair danced in the wind, the Zhujian Grand Sage frowned slightly. This was the Ying Sea. While it was not completely under the control of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, it was still the most influential sect here. The appearance of Wang Lin was no accident.

However, he could also sense that the aura from the Tuo Kong Grand Sage was being concealed by Wang Lin. It was as if he had fallen into Wang Lin’s hands. This made them frown.

Everyone, including both humans and demons, knew about Lin Feng’s immediate disciples, especially Wang Lin, who was one of the ‘Four Heroes’.

If it was only Wang Lin, then it was still fine. While he may find him hard to deal with, the Zhujian Grand Sage, who was a Cardinal Tribulations Beginner Stage demon, had nothing much to fear. However, he did fear upsetting Lin Feng.

Ning Wan’ge stood by Wang Lin’s side. Right now, her appearance in the eyes of others was blurry and unclear. Multi-colored light shone on her body and rippled like water.

Other than the Zhujian Grand Sage, who could sense that something was amiss about her, the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage and the Feiyi Grand Sage could not sense anything special about her.

This was a special trait unto itself. If they could not sense the full extent of her powers with their cultivation level, it meant that this opponent was special.

Upon seeing Wang Lin and Ning Wan’ge standing together, the gaze of the demons turned heavy.

Their opponents were powerful indeed and in this three-on-two fight, they may not be able to win. If they were to delay, the other powerful cultivators of the Celestial Sect of Wonders would reach.

If Lin Feng himself arrived, then the three of them may not be able to escape.

The situation right now was precarious indeed. While no one expected the re-appearance of the Buddha, looking at the situation now, Lin Feng had achieved his expected aim. The demons under the Golden Roc Grand Sage were in full retreat. If there were no other changes, they had more or less withdrawn from this War of the Two Worlds.

For the humans, the war seemed to be going in their favor.

At the very least, the situation outside the Black Sea was favorable for humans.

Lin Feng himself was becoming increasingly active. He now had even more leeway in his actions and his strategies.

As the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage pursued the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the demons under her weakened their counterparts under the Golden Roc Grand Sage, it was not a wise move for them to anger the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

“For that ring, even if we must offend the Celestial Sect of Wonders, we have no other choice. We must obtain the ring. If any unforeseen events arise, tell me and I will take care of it.” The Zhujian Grand Sage recalled his conversation with the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage right before he left. Right now, he stared at Wang Lin with his solitary, cold eye.

He looked at Wang Lin and said slowly, “I must obtain Tuo Kong’s ring.”

With that, he said nothing else. Holding his tail in his mouth, he stood up. He extended his left elbow, and the black light started to appear in his claw, which was formerly empty. It took the shape of a huge bow.

The Zhujian Grand Sage’s right claw pulled back at the bowstring and immediately, a black arrow appeared in the giant bow. He pointed it at Wang Lin. The arrow tip appeared to be devouring everything around it.

Then, as he released his right claw, a white light shot through the black hole. An arrow made up of light, which was both black and white, pierced through space and time and came straight for Wang Lin.

The moment his arrow left the bow, there appeared to be no distance between the arrow and its intended target. The moment the Zhujian Grand Sage released his arrow, his target would be struck by it.

Only a cultivator with a deep understanding of the power of time and space could visualize the path of the arrow.

“His cultivation has improved since the Starry Sea.” Earlier, while it was his Great Satanic Avatar that entered the Starry Sea, Wang Lin was able to witness the fight between the Zhujian Grand Sage and Shi Tianhao.

Among the many disciples under Lin Feng, Shi Tianhao’s understanding of space and time was the greatest among his equals. Even so, he faced many difficulties in his fight against the Zhujian Grand Sage.

Wang Lin’s understanding of time was weaker than Shi Tianhao’s. In terms of space, he was also weaker. However, he had his way of dealing with the Zhujian Grand Sage.

The moment the illusion disappeared, Wang Lin started to use his Three Life Stone. The moment the Zhujian Grand Sage sought to attack, Wang Lin was already able to predict his most-likely course of action.

Then, he used his Ancient and Modern World attack. The moment the black-and-white door opened, he was able to grasp the flow of time. Afterward, while he made his move after the Zhujian Grand Sage, he was still able to block the Zhujian Grand Sage’s attack.

The void trembled and the Ancient and Modern World appeared. Then, the Zhujian Grand Sage’s arrow entered it.

The Ancient and Modern World appeared to have been pierced and started to disintegrate. However, the Zhujian Grand Sage’s arrow could not hurt Wang Lin.

The Zhujian Grand Sage’s sole eye flashed with light as he said, “Indeed, the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are extraordinary indeed.”

Wang Lin received another one of the Zhujian Grand Sage’s arrows. He too was not in the best of shape. While his body was not injured, he could feel that he could no longer operate the Ancient and Modern World as well as he used to.

While the feeling was not obvious, it was bound to worsen as more arrows pierced through his Ancient and Modern World. At a certain point, he would no longer be able to use this attack.

Then, Wang Lin would no longer be able to resist the Zhujian Grand Sage’s attack.

The crystal which he used to summon the power of Yingzhou was shattered. Right now, everything depended on him. However, as he resided in the Ying Sea, he was still at an advantage. At least he no longer had to care about the illusions in the battleground, which continued to bother the Zhujian Grand Sage and the other demons.

However, Wang Lin was not someone who would just take blows like this. As he caught onto the arrows from the Zhujian Grand Sage, a cold look flashed once more through his eyes. He quickly performed some spell gestures and soon, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade appeared next to him.

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade’s original soul took up his human form, who was known as Cang Heaven Blade. Then, wielding himself, Cang Heaven Blade pointed his sword/himself at the Zhujian Grand Sage as he used the Southwest You Heaven Sword of the Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique. He then appeared to have wrapped Wang Lin in a shadow as he floated formlessly. It became almost impossible to track him, even for the Zhujian Grand Sage.

In the battle of the Starry Sea, he allied with Shi Tianhao to battle him. Naturally, he knew his opponent well.

Taking this chance, Wang Lin and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade attacked the Zhujian Grand Sage.

The Zhujian Grand Sage was physically strong, and his arrows were terrifying. Yet, his strong suit was not in defense and hence, he had to carefully deal with the powerful attacks from Wang Lin and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade.

The moment he summoned the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, Wang Lin summoned the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner too. The purple flag fluttered in the wind, and a light flashed on top of it. Xu Anda, Hallmaster of the Hall of the Dead, appeared as he battled the Feiyi Grand Sage.

Ning Wan’ge exchanged a gaze with Wang Lin and fell silent. Then, she blocked the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage, who was trying to help the Zhujian Grand Sage.

The Zhujian Grand Sage said, despite facing a barrage of attacks, “Be careful, old turtle. This person specializes in illusions.”

The Rotary Turtle Grand Sage looked solemnly at Ning Wan’ge and chose not to assist the Zhujian Grand Sage. Instead, he revealed his demonic powers which turned into a screen, shielding the battleground of Wang Lin and the Zhujian Grand Sage.

Afterwards, he crept behind the shield like a turtle withdrawing into its shell. His aim turned from assisting the Zhujian Grand Sage to stopping Ning Wan’ge from assisting Wang Lin.

Ning Wan’ge’s manipulation of illusions was extremely powerful and while the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage had never once experienced it, he took special notice of it anyway, especially since he was in the Ying Sea. At this point, he not only used his mana as a defensive measure but instead he even used up the powers of his entire soul to prevent himself from entering an illusion without realizing.
