With Wang Lin’s body fortified inside the mountain, he left a small piece of his soul in his body using his Ji Realm Divine Consciousness and the rest of his soul exited his body. This part of his soul immediately formed an illusionary body.
Now that Wang Lin’s soul was no longer in his body, it was no longer restricted by his physical form. His Divine Sense scattered in all directions. From a distance, you would see layers of Wang Lin’s Divine Sense being sent out, causing all the nearby wandering souls to appear from the nothingness, faces pale with fear.
Shortly after, all the wandering souls received their orders. As Wang Lin’s Divine Sense spread out further, even more wandering souls felt Wang Lin’s presence. Their faces paled and they started to scatter.
Immediately after Wang Lin’s soul left his body, he returned to his soul devourer form. He quickly swept through the nothingness, and all the wandering souls he passed by would greet him with respect.
Gradually, Wang Lin felt the presence of another very large soul. It was another soul devourer, however, this soul was in a very strange state, as if it were sleeping.
The large soul didn’t respond to Wang Lin’s Divine Sense at all. Wang Lin faltered a little. He ignored the soul devourer and kept expanding his divine sense to bring more wandering souls under his control.
At that moment, Duanmu sat on another rock somewhere in the third realm with a bitter look on his face. Next to him was Wang QingYue with a cool look on his face.
Duanmu and Wang QingYue crossed the tunnel of nothingness together and arrived at the golden land of the first realm. In the first realm, they relied on Wang QingYue’s Five Element Escape Technique, which allowed them to calmly pass the first realm and proceed to the restriction mountain.
The fact that Duanmu was able to pass the restriction mountain would surprise everyone that knew him.
A thousand years ago, he received a treasure from the treasure pagoda. It was a piece of jade with a single crack on it. Based on his understanding, this piece of jade only had one use left.
Later on, he did a lot of research and found out that the purpose of this jade was to break all restrictions. As a result, Duanmu’s resolve to go back to the Land of the Ancient Gods was reignited.
He knew that his cultivation was lower than the others. Back then, it was due to his luck and caution that he was able to preserve his life. He knew his limits very well and had decided to never come back again, but when he found out about the use of the piece of jade, it moved his heart.
Still, he was very cautious and hesitant because he couldn’t even pass the first realm without mastering the Five Element Escape Technique.
Duanmu pondered this for a long time and gave up on learning the Five Element technique. In order for him to learn it, he would have to devote all his time, and even if he did learn it, he wasn’t guaranteed to pass the first realm. There were also attacks by large monsters to consider.
He vividly remembered one of his experiences in the ice world.
Thus, Duanmu seeked out his friend Wang QingYue to travel with him. Wang QingYue was a master of the Five Element Escape Technique, and after Duanmu told him that the first realm required the Five Element Escape Technique, he decided to give it a try. After all, if what Duanmu said was true, the temptation was too great.
In order to convince Wang QingYue, Duanmu took out his piece of jade. After seeing the jade, Wang QingYue immediately recognized that it was a long lost ancient weapon, causing the doubt in his heart to disappear.
