If only Jiu Di had asked, he couldāve ignored it. He had come to the palace to save the madman - how could he give up merely due to Jiu Diās threat?
And Wang Lin didnāt believe that Jiu Di would stop suppressing the ancestral curse at the cost of an extremely difficult recovery!
However, Wang Lin could not ignore Geminiās words!
In his heart, he already owed Gemini. Since she had also asked, Wang Lin had to silently ponder.
After a long time, Wang Lin said with difficulty, āGive me a reason!ā He didnāt look at Jiu Di, but at Grand Empyrean Gemini.
āThe Celestial Emperor has fallen. Lian Daofei is very important to the celestial clanā¦ā Gemini sighed and looked at Wang Lin.
āWang Linā¦ Lian Daofei must be left behindā¦ā The person who spoke was Hai Zi, who had been silent.
She looked at Wang Lin and calmly said, āThis place is the forbidden palace. Although it has collapsed, it will recover on its ownā¦ In the celestial clan, the forbidden palace is very important because the Celestial Ancestorās head is here...
āThe Celestial Ancestorās head is used to suppress the 72 spirits of the celestial clan. It is because of this head that the 72 spirits have remained sealed. Once the head is damaged, it no longer has the power to suppress the spirits that are still alive. Even those that are dead will return back to the void once the suppression is lost...
āAt that time, the entire celestial clan will go into chaos and the continents will collapse and dissipate. The entire celestial clan will face a catastropheā¦ According to my clanās previous plan, we didnāt want to destroy the celestial clan, so after dividing the head, we were going to choose one person to sleep here. That person would replace the Celestial Ancestorās head and become the existence that would suppress the 72 spirits...
āThe person we chose was Lian Daofei!
āHe carries the Celestial Ancestorās bloodline and has inherited part of the Celestial Ancestorās cultivation. My clan has also planted a seed in him over the years. Once itās activated, he will become a Grand Empyrean due to the Celestial Ancestor inheritance he absorbed!
With his Grand Empyrean cultivation and my clanās secret spell, a suppression effect can be created. This is why you canāt take himā¦ If you try to take him by force, thenā¦ Iāll have to stop you as well,ā Hai Zi softly said.
Gemini sighed as she looked at Wang Lin and spoke for the second time.ā Wang Lin leave Lian Daofei here. There will be no danger to his life, he will remain here and suppress the 72 spirits.ā
Jiu Di coldly looked at this and didnāt speak.
Wang Lin silently pondered and looked at the madman that was laying on the Celestial Ancestorās head. He didnāt hesitate when you spoke.
āIāll give up the Celestial Ancestorās head and only take away Lian Daofei!ā
āGive up? Even if the Celestial Ancestorās head were placed back, it could not play the role of suppression because it has been cut open by the Celestial Emperor. The power inside it has already scattered and can no player be used to suppress the spirits!ā Jiu Di let out a cold snort.
Wang Linās face immediately turned pale and his eyes were filled with struggle and complication. Their words were simple and there wasnāt much to think about. Wang Lin knew it was the truth.
āWang Linā¦ Leave Lian Daofei here.ā This was the third time Gemini said this.
Time slowly passed and Wang Linās struggle set off a huge wave in his heart. After a long time, he let out a sigh. He could not take away the madman by force. Grand Empyrean Gemini would stop him, and Jiu Di would act as well. Along with Hai Zi, Wang Lin could not take the madman away with the three of them joining forces.
What was more, taking away the madman would result in the celestial clan being in chaos. Wang Lin didnāt care, but it would affect Grand Empyrean Gemini, who had helped him a lotā¦ The Purple Yang Sect might even be destroyed.
While silently pondering, Wang Lin revealed a bitter expression. He looked at the unconscious madman and slowly closed his eyes.
āMadman, when I, Wang Lin, return to the imperial palace, it will be when I rescue you! I swear it!!ā Wang Lin waved his right hand and put the Celestial Ancestorās head into his storage space. He then suddenly looked up.
āJiu Di, there is no need for you to find me. Iāll return in the future!ā After Wang Lin spoke, he flew into the sky and didnāt look back. Leaving the madman behind made his heart sting. He had gained the most on this trip to the imperial palace. He had obtained part of the Celestial Ancestorās inheritance, obtained the Celestial Ancestorās head, and even condensed the outline of his Grand Empyrean sun.
But in the end, he still couldnāt take the madman...
If there was a choice, Wang Lin would give back all these fortunes to take the madman away, but all of this was already decided from the start.
āWith the Dao Wang clanās ancestorās divination, he likely even saw the Celestial Emperor possessing the madmanā¦ Perhaps it was part of the plan, but it was broken by me...
āEven the Celestial Emperorās self-destruction and the ancestral curse being shared by the four Grand Empyreans was likely foreseen by the Dao Wang clanās ancestor. But he didnāt tell them, nor did he try to stop it...
āPerhaps he did it for his clan member of this generation, Hai Ziā¦ All in order to dissipate my anger toward his clanā¦ Just what did he see to make him so kind to meā¦ Is it because in his mind, my existence is more fearful than a Grand Empyreanā¦ā
Wang Lin thought about the words left by the genius of the Dao Wang clan in the Great Soul Sect. All those respectful āyousā the voice used.
Grand Empyrean Gemini looked at Lian Daofei, who was in a coma, and let out a sigh. She followed Wang Lin into the distance.
After Wang Lin exited the broken sky of the forbidden palace, he could not bear it and looked down.
He saw Hai Zi use her clanās spell. The unconscious madman released bright golden light. As the golden light spread, a golden sun surrounded the madman. As the golden light spread out, Wang Lin felt the fluctuations of a Grand Empyrean spread out from his body.
This Grand Empyrean power was not an outline like Wang Linās Grand Empyrean sun, but a completely formed sun. Lian Daofei became the 5th Grand Empyrean of the celestial clan after the Celestial Emperor fell.
However, the fifth Grand Empyrean would sleep forever and never awaken. The purpose of his existence was to replace the Celestial Ancestorās head to suppress the 72 spirits!
Wang Lin looked at the madman and watched him turn into a mountain as the golden sun shrouded his body. This mountain was completely golden and shot into the clouds!
When the mountainās peak appeared, the broken earth began to recover, but instead of the nine mountains before, there was only this golden mountain!
The sky also recovered and the entire world recovered eventually.
Wang Linās gaze lingered on the golden mountain for a moment longer before he turned around. He remembered the oath he had made and suddenly left!
After leaving the forbidden palace and entering the collapsed palace, Wang Lin stepped forward and disappeared without a trace. When he reappeared, he was in the imperial palace in the ancestral city.
The imperial palace was in ruins, and at a glance, only the statue stood there alone. The statue was that of the Celestial Ancestor. He looked up at the sky with his arms stretched open as if he were casting a spell.
Wang Lin looked at the statue and silently pondered.
Ripples echoed beside him and Grand Empyrean Gemini walked out.
āThe era of the Celestial Ancestor is over and his protection is goneā¦ From now on, the celestial clan will no longer have any Celestial Emperor bloodline.ā Grand Empyrean Gemini looked at the statue and let out a sigh.
Wang Lin calmly said, āThank youā¦ā
āThis was my promise to you, even though the cost was very highā¦ but I have to thank you for choosing me when I was merely two little girls.ā
Gemini slowly said, āYou indeed canāt take Lian Daofei away, I hope you understandā¦ After all, I belong to the celestial clan and you belong to the Ancient clan.ā
Wang Linās expression remained the same and he turned around to look at Grand Empyrean Gemini. As for how she could see through his identity, Wang Lin didnāt ask or try to cover it up.
āThank youā¦ā Wang Lin clasped his hands and bowed at Grand Empyrean Gemini.
āI have obtained the Celestial Ancestorās eyes, so now I will head back to the Purple Yang Sect. What about you? Will you leave or come back with me to the Purple Yang Sect?ā
Wang Lin looked toward the Eastern Continent before he said, āI want to head back to the Great Soul Sectā¦ Then leave the celestial clanā¦ā
Grand Empyrean Gemini silently pondered for a moment and then let out a sigh.
āI donāt know if helping you was right or wrongā¦ā She shook her head and then purple light spread out from her body. She split back into the two little girls. They looked back at Wang Lin with their innocent smiles and waved goodbye at Wang Lin as they flew off into the sky.
āWa Wa, after we return, Iām going to sleep. Iām so tired.ā
āHan Han, when we get back, how about we first see if Little Wolf has been obedient before we rest.ā
āOK, letās do that.ā
The crisp and tender voices of the two little girls echoed like bells. Wang Lin looked at the two little girls flying away and muttered.
Wang Lin closed his eyes and then reopened them after a long time before flying off into the distance. He didnāt see that in the ruins of the palace behind him, Hai Zi was silently looking at his back with a melancholy expression as he disappeared.
āHai Zi, letās goā¦ā
Behind Hai Zi, Jiu Di walked out with a tired expression. His body was covered in black gas and he could almost no longer suppress the ancestral curse.
āI donāt blame you for not stopping himā¦ That child is extraordinaryā¦ Iām old, and it will help you if your clan has ties with him.ā Jiu Di, who was surrounded by black gas, looked at Hai Zi with a kind and doting gaze.
