When Ning Wan’ge heard what Wang Lin said, she looked at him in slight shock and incredulity. However, Wang Lin’s face was calm.

“I often suspect that everything, including what I am experiencing right now, is a dream.” After a while, Ning Wan’ge shook her head and her expression returned normal. “You, compared to me, are more…”

She paused for a while, then looked at Wang Lin and said in a straightforward manner, “More insane.”

Wang Lin said nothing. His expression did not change. His entire body became like water.

Ning Wan’ge shook her head and expressed her clear desire to drop this topic. Instead, she looked at Wang Lin and said, “What do you want to do next?”

Wang Lin said expressionlessly, “Regardless whether intentionally or unintentionally, you know too many secrets of my sect through my Fifth Junior and me.”

“With your power, our sect should normally treat you with great respect. However, it’s too early to say whether you are a friend or a foe. I originally did not intend to let you go so easily.”

He looked at Ning Wan’ge with expressionlessly, as if he was saying something natural. This was despite the fact that he could sense that Ning Wan’ge was starting to experience the Cardinal Tribulations through their interaction just now.

If they were to fight, he may not be able to stop Ning Wan’ge. Killing or capturing her would be even harder.

However, if they really were to battle to the death, then it was no just a matter of personal honor or pride. He would not fight her alone, and surely use the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade.

As an Immortal Soul First Level cultivator battling against a Cardinal Tribulations Beginner Stage cultivator, there was no shame in using magic treasures.

In a three-on-one fight, Ning Wan’ge might not even be able to escape if she did not have a magic treasure with her.

Ning Wan’ge’s expression was calm as she looked at him and asked, “So?”

Wang Lin said plainly, “This concerns my entire sect, and you are no ordinary person too. I will ask my master on what I should do.”

While he had an independent nature, Wang Lin would not behave rashly when the situation was this important.

When Ning Wan’ge heard that, she said nothing. Before her, Wang Lin used a spiritual talisman.

Projecting one’s voice through the dimensions was no easy feat. There were many obstacles to it and the weaker one was, the harder it was. For many cultivators, projecting their voices through different dimensions and worlds was near impossible.

Hence, the Celestial Sect of Wonders came up with a special set of talismans, which enabled those deep in the Ying Sea to communicate with those in the Divine Lands or other parts of the Grand Celestial World.

Wang Lin started to use his talisman, which turned into a ray of purple light in mid-air. Gradually, it took on the shape of a man with long, flowing hair and purple robes. It was Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at Wang Lin and asked, “What’s the matter?”

After Wang Lin explained everything in detail to him, Lin Feng said in slight surprise, “Oh?”

He had naturally heard of Ning Wan’ge before. She was one of the most powerful Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators among the many cultivators of the Divine Lands. She was only matched with Zhuge Zhan, who had already joined the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Qianshu Toutuo, a participant in the War of Buddha Annihilation, and the Luofu Holy Man, who resided on the Luofu Mystic Island.

She kept the lowest profile among all of them. Legend had it that no one had even seen her face before.

Furthermore, looking at it now, she appeared to be most powerful one among the four of them. Not only was she in the Immortal Soul Third Level, she had already started to experience the Cardinal Tribulations, even though she only appeared to have experienced it once.

He looked at Ning Wan’ge, who greeted him, “Ning Wan’ge offers her greetings to the leader of the Celestial Sect.”

Lin Feng nodded his head and said, “You are too kind, Dream Holy Woman.”

He looked at Ning Wan’ge as numerous thoughts swirled through his mind, “She lost all her memories from more than 4000 years ago? That time, there was…”

His gaze flashed slightly as he looked at Ning Wan’ge and asked, “Do you wish to leave the Ying Sea and move elsewhere?”

Ning Wan’ge did not care that Lin Feng knew about her predicament, but she just nodded her head and said, “I have no intention of being embroiled in any conflict. All I want to do is to cultivate in peace. I hope you would agree to this, leader of the Celestial Sect.”

Lin Feng said, “This is the best place for cultivation for you. Other places may not be as suitable as the Ying Sea.”

Ning Wan’ge fell silent. Lin Feng spoke the truth.

She fell silent for a while and then, lifted her head to look at Lin Feng. “I…”

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, “I have no other intention. All I’m saying is that you can continue inhabiting the Ying Sea if you wish. We will not trouble you.”

Ning Wan’ge was shocked, but soon she recovered. She nodded at Lin Feng and said, “Thank you for your generosity, leader of the Celestial Sect. I am deeply grateful, and I promise not to spread your sect’s secrets.”

Lin Feng nodded his head and then turned to look at Wang Lin. Wang Lin too appeared shocked by his decision, but he did not pose any doubt. His face was expressionless.

“If the news were right, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage appeared and started to establish herself in the Barren Expanses around 4000 years too. That was around 600 years after the last War of the Two Worlds,” Lin Feng’s voice sounded in Wang Lin’s ears. Immediately, Wang Lin frowned.

Currently, the most mysterious demon in the Barren Expanses was the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. The most powerful and mysterious human cultivator was Ning Wan’ge. For the two of them to appear at the same time, it was too much of a coincidence to ignore.

Perhaps it was really a coincidence. If it was not, then there were too many secrets in it.

Lin Feng only said a single sentence, but Wang Lin understood his intention immediately. He did not ask about anything else but instead, he opened his palm and a ring appeared. It was the ring he took from the Tuo Kong Grand Sage.

That scene did not just play out Ning Wan’ge’s dream. In reality, after Wang Lin woke up, he was able to steal the ring from the Tuo Kong Grand Sage after he made her fall into an illusory dream. At the same time, he suppressed the Tuo Kong Grand Sage.

The power within the ring was special indeed. Wang Lin and his fellow disciples once went to the Celestial Mountain Penglai under Lin Feng’s guidance. There, they personally witnessed the powers of the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao and the Hades’ Dark Mantra. hence, they could confirm that the ring had something to do with the Hades Tribe. The object that the Zhujian Grand Sage, the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage and the other powerful demons under the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage wanted was likely this.

Wang Lin said, “Master, this object is very mystical I have tried to analyze it, but with little success. I am afraid that the Golden Roc Grand Sage only temporarily left it with the Tuo Kong Grand Sage, hoping that he could use it in the future.”

After the Golden Roc Grand Sage went to the former location of the Great Thunderclap Temple to open the black hole, many unexpected events took place which he did not predict. However, it was likely that he predicted that his journey would be difficult and hence, he left some objects behind.

This ring was likely one of them. However, it is used for more than just fighting, just that the Tuo Kong Grand Sage did not know about them.

This item was the reason for contention between the two sides.

Lin Feng looked at it and said, “Take good care of it first, and then place it on the Celestial Mountain Yingzhou.”

Wang Lin said, “Yes, master. I understand.”

After they ended their dialogue, Wang Lin turned his head. He noticed that Ning Wan’ge was staring at the ring with a complicated look in her eyes.

It was not desire, but confusion instead.

Wang Lin understood her feelings perfectly. In the dream, both of them were able to catch the grey-robed man with the help of this ring.

In the dream, the grey-robed man took away the ring. Yet, he left clues that revealed his tracks. The ring appeared to have no tie with him at all.

Yet, this dream was a manifestation of Ning Wan’ge’s own thoughts. Why was the ring the conduit that Ning Wan’ge used to communicate with the grey-robed man? There seemed to be no reason for it.

As Ning Wan’ge had lost her memories, she could not answer this question. It was like how she was unable to explain what was going on with the grey-robed female.

However, this did not stop her suspicion from being aroused.

Wang Lin too lowered his head to look at the ring. He gently sensed the powers within. Suddenly, his heart jumped as he stared in another direction.

Ning Wan’ge was shell-shocked. Yet, at the same moment, her gaze followed Wang Lin’s.

There was a powerful demonic aura rampaging from outside the illusory realm they were in.

Ning Wan’ge reached out with her palm and made a wiping motion in mid-air. A light projection appeared in the void, which reflected the scene outside.

One could see a beast with the face of a man and the body of a leopard outside. With a dark expression on his face, he stood at the exterior of the illusory realm. His ears were like a cow’s and he only had one eye. Between his teeth, he held his tail as he stared silently into the illusory realm. It was the Zhujian Grand Sage.

Next to the Zhujian Grand Sage, there were two beats. On his left, there was an odd snake with one head, but two bodies. It had six legs and four wings. This was the Feiyi Grand Sage.

On his right, there was a huge turtle, with the head of a bird and the tail of a serpent. Its entire body was red and black. This was the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage.

Earlier, the Zhujian Grand Sage and the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage chased the Tuo Kong Grand Sage into the Ying Sea. They did not expect the Tuo Kong Grand Sage to continue fighting even as he tried to escape through the dimensions, which caused space to distort. This caused them to lose the Tuo Kong Grand Sage the moment they entered the Ying Sea, which forced them to restart their search.

The Feiyi Grand Sage was chasing the Bifang Grand Sage and hence, he reached here too. Quickly, he joined forces with the Zhujian Grand Sage and company.

After they searched for a long while, they finally arrived at this location.

In the illusory realm, Ning Wan’ge said, “Our battle caused the illusion to fade many times. The huge commotion we caused made it unstable and hence, we were unable to suppress the aura from the Tuo Kong Grand Sage. This is how we got discovered.”

Wang Lin nodded his head quietly and said, “That’s right.”

At this moment, the Zhujian Grand Sage, who had been staring into the illusory realm for quite some time now, suddenly opened his mouth. A ball of light appeared. Then, the light faded and in it, one could see a bright jade.

The Zhujian Grand Sage’s eyes narrowed as he recited arcane incantations. Many strange, ancient runes appeared on the pearl. The pearl started to shrink and soon, it disappeared into space in the Ying Sea.

However, many rays of mystic light appeared from the pearl and swirled between the heaven and earth.
