After Wang Lin spoke, his foot landed on the 14th step. At this moment, the essence true body behind him turned into a sea of fire and rushed into his body. Wang Lin became one with his essence true body and stepped forward!
This was the 15th step!
The world rumbled and the countless cultivators in the Great Soul Sect observed. When they saw Wang Lin take the 15th step, he took another!
This was the 16th step!
âJust three more⦠My will wonât yield even to the heavens, why should I back down!?â Wang Linâs life and death essence erupted from his body.
Ethereal essences werenât affected by the Immortal Astral Continent. The moment it erupted, Wang Lin stepped onto the 17th step!
âMy will has pierced the cave world and the Immortal Astral Continent. Iâm the first person to leave the cave world! Even if this is the will of a mid stage Void Tribulant cultivator, what qualifications do you have to force me to back down!?â Wang Linâs true and false essence erupted before him. His body was like an illusion, and as he rapidly changed, he landed on the 18th step!
This scene was seen by all the disciples of the Great Soul Sect, and it shook their heartS. When Yan Lu saw this, her face instantly turned pale.
Even the old monsters in the Great Soul Sect that were often in closed door cultivation walked out and watched with their own eyes.
âMy will canât be destroyed by divine retribution. I took back my own destiny from divine retribution. I came to the Immortal Astral Continent not to serve but to take back my own destiny! I came to the Immortal Astral Continent not to obey but to walk above the heavens!â Wang Linâs eyes shined as his karma essence erupted. His foot landed on the 19th step and he entered the seventh floor!
When his foot landed, the illusion above the Great Soul Sect shined brightly. All the disciples of the Great Soul Sect looked up at the illusion with respect.
The strong will be respected, no matter where they are. Wang Lin had used his own power to tell everyone in the Great Soul Sect he could enter the seventh floor!
All those who didnât have a good outlook on him trembled in their hearts and couldnât say a word for a long time.
âFrom now on, the seventh floor is no longer a place only five people beside the ancestor can enter. There is now one moreâ¦â As everyone remained silent, a sigh came from far away.
At the same time, in the Green Heavenly Peak, Esteemed Green Bull pondered. He was still sitting there and hadnât looked up, but his gaze was serious.
âHe⦠actually entered the seventh floor⦠The ancestor said that this person would enter the seventh floor in three years, the eighth floor in 30 years, and the ninth floor in 300 years to bring the greatest fortune to my Great Soul Sect!
âNow⦠it has changedâ¦â
When Wang Lin stepped into the seventh floor of the Soul Scripture Pavilion, he turned around to look at the pale Yan Lu! He waved his sleeve and the blood sword and blue umbrella flew toward him.
âYan Lu, Iâll take the umbrella!â
Yan Lu subconsciously raised her hand to grab the umbrella, but her pride didnât allow her. With that moment of hesitation, the umbrella and the blood sword arrived next to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin put away the blood sword and grabbed the blue umbrella. Just as he was about to erase Yan Luâs divine sense to make it his own, her cold voice echoed from the sixth floor.
âWang Lin, are you still willing to bet!?â
Wang Linâs eyes lit up. He sneered and stopped his motion of erasing the divine sense. He held it in his hand and spoke slowly.
âWhat do you want to bet?â
âI bet you canât enter the eighth floor! Do you dare to take the bet?â Yan Lu moved to the bottom of the staircase but didnât dare to step on it. She looked up at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin didnât immediately speak but pondered.
âIf you lose, you only need to return the treasure back to me! But if you win, Iâ¦â Before Yan Lu finished speaking, Wang Lin interrupted her.
âWhy should I continue betting with you?â Wang Linâs words were calm as he waved his sleeve and walked into the seventh floor, where there was less than 30 soul bodies.
âWang Lin!! If you win, Iâll give this treasure to you!!â Yan Lu waved her hand and a small, purple gourd appeared.
The moment the gourd appeared, soul fluctuations came from it.
âThis a treasure from the ninth ancestor, Luo Yunhai, and I inadvertently found it. He gathered 1 billion dao souls within and now itâs broken, but it still has 30 million dao souls inside. Although it can only be used once, it can launch an attack equal to a peak mid stage Void Tribulant cultivatorâs!
âThis item is the reason I can summon the ninth ancestor with the Soul Fantasy Origin. With this, you can also summon the ninth ancestor with the Soul Fantasy Origin!
âAs long as you can enter the eighth floor, you can take this! Are you willing to bet?!â Yan Luâs voice was sharp as it echoed through the Soul Scripture Pavilion.
Wang Lin footsteps stopped and he felt the soul fluctuations from the sixth floor. He was currently lacking treasures. If he wanted a foothold on the Immortal Astral Continent, aside from his own strength, treasures were key.
âIf I can get it, then Iâll have a killer ace that can threaten mid stage Void Tribulant cultivatorsâ¦â Wang Lin pondered as his gaze swept the stairs heading toward the eighth floor.
The dust on the stairs was even thicker; it was obvious it had been a long time since someone stepped onto them
Wang Linâs divine sense had swept the soul bodies on the seventh floor. The more complete Soul Fantasy Origin and the multi-layered illusion were present. However, the ones on the eighth floor would be more complete.
âIf I donât use the power of my avatar in the void, it will be very difficult to get up to the eighth floorâ¦â Wang Lin frowned and began measuring the gains and losses as he slowly sensed his avatar in the void.
Yan Lu was on the sixth floor, waiting for Wang Linâs reply. She was slightly anxious, she was worried that Wang Lin wouldnât agree, or that once Wang Lin agreed, he would really have a method to get up to the eighth floor.
âThis shouldnât be possible⦠That umbrella has great use for me. Iâm not willing to let him take it so easily! The eighth floor⦠contains the will of late stage Void Tribulant. With that Wang Linâs cultivation level, he must have been injured while reaching the seventh floor. He could never reach the eighth floor!â
Just as Yan Lu was pondering anxiously about this, Wang Linâs words echoed from the seventh floor.
âSince you want to bet, then letâs bet!â Wang Linâs words were decisive. That gourd filled with 30 million dao souls was something he had to obtain. When he checked on his avatar, he found that its growth had been faster than he expected, so even if it sent out some power, it wouldnât affect the avatar too much.
After considering all of this, Wang Lin made up his mind.
When Yan Lu heard Wang Linâs words, she began to feel regret. She didnât know why, but the decisiveness in Wang Linâs words alarmed her.
âThisâ¦â There was hesitation in Yan Luâs eyes.
âWhat, do you not dare? If you donât dare, then forget it. Donât blame me for wiping away the divine sense on this blue umbrella!â Wang Lin smiled and held the blue umbrella in his right hand. He raised his left hand to erase the divine sense left on it.
âOK, Iâll bet with you! I donât believe you can get onto the eighth floor!â Yan Lu clenched her teeth.
Wang Lin laughed and charged toward the stars toward the eighth floor. Wang Linâs mind and the avatar in the void formed a connection. This connection ignored all the restrictions in the Great Soul Sect and even the countless restrictions in the Soul Scripture Pavilion. Not even the laws of the Immortal Astral Continent could stop the power surging toward him.
Wang Linâs eyes lit up, and with seven steps, he arrived at the stairs to the eighth floor. With one step, he walked forward.
âYan Lu, watch carefully!â
The moment Wang Linâs foot landed on the staircase, the many cultivators outside were ready to disperse. But their hearts trembled and they all looked up. Even the expressions of the old monsters changed!
The illusion had disappeared from the sky of the Great Soul Sect, but at this moment, an even larger and brighter staircase suddenly appeared!
The set of stairs lead to the eighth floor of the Soul Scripture Pavilion!
Wang Linâs figure appeared on the stairs once more. That head of white hair shocked everyoneâs minds.
âHe⦠He actually wants to head to the eighth floor!!â
âThis is something that is rarely seen, even in hundreds of years!! I will actually get to see someone trying to break through the seventh and eighth floors at once!!â
An uproar echoed as the elders in closed door cultivator all looked over with serious expressions. In the Green Heavenly Peak, Esteemed Green Bull could no longer maintain his calm. He got up and his expression constantly changed; he could no longer hide the shock in his heart.
âHe is going to the eighth floor!! To head into the seventh floor three years early is one thing, but to enter the eighth floor 30 years early isâ¦â The old ancestor didnât know if this was good or bad for the Great Soul Sect. However, deviating off the divination of the ancient ancestor caused him to feel uneasiness.
In the sixth floor, Yan Lu couldnât enter the seventh floor or see the changes up there. Even her divine sense couldnât enter, but with her cultivation level, she had her own methods.
In the new peak Yan Lu had been given, one of her disciples was looking at the sky in shock. She trembled and her eyes suddenly lost focus and was replaced with killing intent. At that moment, the female discipleâs soul was suppressed and the divine sense Yan Lu had left on the peak took over, making her Yan Luâs eyes.
