Sea of Reincarnation
Within the Devouring Realm, Lin Langtian sat cross-legged in mid-air. The aura emanating from his body grew stronger day by day, and the speed at which his strength improved was astonishing.
This enhancement of aura lasted for a full five days before the immense Yuan Power swirling around Lin Langtian gradually showed signs of weakening.
In mid-air, as the last wisp of Yuan energy returned to Lin Langtian's body, his eyes, which had been closed for several days, suddenly opened. A sharp glint flashed in his dark eyes before quickly dissipating into nothingness.
Creak!
Lin Langtian supported himself with his hands in the air and slowly stood up. As he stood up, a crisp crackling sound came from his body.
Along with these crisp sounds came an extremely fierce wave, like an ancient beast awakening from its slumber.
"Call."
Lin Langtian felt the surging power within his body and couldn't help but take a deep breath, a smile curving his lips. The feeling of fullness and power was unprecedented.
"Now you should have truly entered the Death Profound Stage Realm. At Death Profound Stage age, you are a top genius even on the entire continent."
Moreover, young friend, you possess an extremely terrifying power hidden within you. If nothing unexpected happens, the heavy responsibility of fighting against the Evil Demon will fall on your shoulders in the future.
The Devouring Emperor arrived in a flash, looked at Lin Langtian, and said with a smile.
"The Lesser Death Profound Stage Lesser Success?"
Lin Langtian clenched his fists, a look of considerable satisfaction on his face. The results of his cultivation this time were clearly quite gratifying.
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian also cupped his hands in thanks to the Devouring Emperor in front of him and said, "Thank you for your help, senior!"
If it weren't for the Devouring Emperor gifting him crucial Death Qi energy, he wouldn't have been able to break through to the Death Profound Stage in one fell swoop. Lin Langtian was extremely grateful for this.
"Hehe, these are all your own achievements. I was just going with the flow..." The Devouring Emperor laughed again as he said this.
"Moreover, the biggest improvement is in your Mental Power..."
Lin Langtian nodded slightly, and without making any move, a strong wind suddenly arose around him, and a powerful Mental Power swept out from his Mud Pill Palace, turning into a Mental Power storm around him.
The astonishing fluctuations emanating from the storm were something even a powerful expert at the Death Profound Stage Lesser Success would have to treat with utmost caution.
"Great Ascension of Immortal Talisman Master!"
Lin Langtian smiled. In the energy of the Devouring Black Talisman given by the Devouring Emperor, besides the Death Qi energy, there was also a lot of pure spiritual energy.
With the help of this pure energy, Lin Langtian's Mental Power broke through again, reaching the Great Ascension stage of Immortal Talisman Master.
The levels of Immortal Talisman Master are divided into Lesser Vehicle and Greater Vehicle, but these two levels are comparable to the Life Death Profound Stage.
Generally speaking, when one 'Mental Power reaches the Great Death Profound Stage expert. However, Lin Langtian is currently only at the initial stage of Immortal Talisman Master, so he is only comparable to the Death Profound Stage Lesser Success.
In other words, Lin Langtian's current strength is such that not only has his Yuan Power reached the Lesser Completion of the Death Profound Stage Lesser Success, but his Mental Power has also entered the Great Ascension of the Immortal Talisman Master. The two forces have finally reached a relatively balanced state.
With the convergence of these two forces, Lin Langtian was confident that no one within the Death Profound Stage Lesser Success would be his match. In fact, he could even face a powerful expert at the Death Profound Stage Perfection head-on!
After the initial joy, Lin Langtian suddenly heard the sound of flowing water. Glancing around, he saw a bottomless black hole hanging in the sky, with black water flowing continuously down from the hole's opening, eventually forming a bottomless black lake below.
"This is... the Energy Lake?"
Upon seeing the familiar Black Lake, Lin Langtian was taken aback, then looked somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, the Energy Lake that appeared in that cave has somehow appeared in the Devouring Realm.
Seemingly noticing Lin Langtian's confusion, the Devouring Emperor explained, "The Devouring Realm was created by my own hands. This place is a separate space. You possess the Devouring Token, and from now on, you are the master of this place."
"During your cultivation period, I personally moved this energy lake to the Devouring Realm. Combined with the Scripture Pavilion, it will be sufficient to form the foundation of your forces."
The Devouring Emperor could see clearly that although Lin Langtian was the leader of a force, he was young and his forces were likely not very powerful.
Both the Energy Lake and the Scripture Pavilion were the foundation of his Devouring Hall's former strength. Now that they were being given to Lin Langtian, the Devouring Emperor not only did not feel regret, but was even pleased that they were being put to use again.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's lips moved, and a surge of joy and gratitude welled up in his heart.
At this moment, a few words were not enough to express Lin Langtian's gratitude, so he could only solemnly cup his hands to the Devouring Emperor and say in a deep voice.
"This junior thanks you for your kindness, senior!"
Whether it's the Scripture Pavilion or this Energy Lake, for the newly Heavenly Mansion, it's like a gift from heaven!
With this, Heavenly Mansion's two major weaknesses will be completely remedied, which naturally excites Lin Langtian.
In some ways, this is even more valuable than Lin Langtian breaking through to the Death Profound Stage.
Even Tang Xinlian, who was not far away, showed a hint of envy in her beautiful eyes when she saw this.
The Devouring Hall, once a super power no less powerful than the Flame God Palace, possessed a collection of martial arts Scripture Pavilion and an Energy Lake that even the Flame God Palace envied.
It is conceivable that with these two great treasures in place, Lin Langtian's Heavenly Mansion has obvious potential for future development. It is only a matter of time before it completely surpasses Yuan Sect and becomes the overlord of the Eastern Xuan Region!
Thinking of this, Tang Xinlian's beautiful eyes, which were fixed on Lin Langtian, gradually became somewhat misty.
Lin Langtian is so young; perhaps before long, he will be able to stand on equal footing with her teacher, Mo Luo. Such an extraordinary man! Tang Xinlian's heart began to flutter uncontrollably once again...
"My time is running out..."
At this moment, the Devouring Emperor looked around with some reluctance, then looked at Lin Langtian again and said, "I wonder if you are willing to accept my inheritance?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's breathing became heavier, and then he nodded solemnly without hesitation. The inheritance of Reincarnation Stage expert was something that even Samsara Stage expert would covet.
Seeing Lin Langtian nod, the Lord of Devouring smiled faintly, then said no more, "Get ready."
Lin Langtian nodded, his expression gradually becoming solemn. He sat down cross-legged, his mind quietly calming down.
Seeing this, the Devouring Emperor smiled slightly, then opened his arms and once again felt this world, his face showing a deep sense of longing.
After a long time, his body began to twist and contort, and black light seeped out, eventually turning into a huge black hole.
The black hole slowly rotated, then, like a gaping maw of darkness, it stretched out and swallowed Lin Langtian's body.
"Now it's up to you. I hope my legacy won't be cut off from this world."
The black hole spun, with only the voice of the Devouring Emperor echoing quietly before finally disappearing completely. This once supreme powerhouse of the world vanished at that moment.
As the darkness faded from Lin Langtian's eyes, he slowly opened his slightly closed eyes, and then his eyes were slightly dazed. The brilliant light reflected from in front of him gave his face a bright arc of light.
"This is..."
Lin Langtian murmured to himself, looking around. What came into view was a magnificent ocean that stretched as far as the eye could see. The seawater was colorful and sparkling, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
"This is the Sea of Reincarnation."
A familiar voice came from the side. Lin Langtian turned his head and saw the transparent image of the Devouring Emperor appear several feet away from him.
"Senior, you..." Lin Langtian was stunned when he saw the Devouring Emperor's appearance.
"Hehe, to enter this place, one must burn the last of my energy. So, I have now completely vanished from this world," the Devouring Emperor said with a carefree laugh.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian, though having anticipated it, couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his eyes.
Although the Devouring Emperor was the second controller of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, Lin Langtian observed that his talent and methods were comparable to those of the Lord of Devouring. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and died before reaching his peak. It was truly a matter of timing and fate, which is very regrettable.
"Hehe, there's no need to sigh for me. I'm already lucky enough to have found such an excellent successor. Now, let's see the inheritance I've prepared for you— the Sea of Reincarnation." The Devouring Emperor pointed to the magnificent ocean that stretched as far as the eye could see and smiled.
"The Sea of Reincarnation?" Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow, his gaze following the Devouring Emperor's fingertip, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
"After advancing to the Reincarnation Stage, one's Dantian will transform into the Sea of Reincarnation, which is vast and unfathomable, containing a lifetime's cultivation. And this is my Sea of Reincarnation."
Although I perished before successfully consolidating my Reincarnation Stage due to the invasion of the Evil Demon, this Sea of Reincarnation is the legacy I leave to you, my young friend.
At this point, the image of the Devouring Emperor gazed at the magnificent ocean and said, "Of course, the most precious thing here is my understanding of reincarnation, which is the most crucial thing for advancing to the Reincarnation Stage."
Lin Langtian looked up and his gaze sharpened. He could sense an extremely profound and mysterious fluctuation permeating the ocean, a fluctuation as deep and captivating as the starry sky.
That was the most mysterious taste of reincarnation.
Lin Langtian stared blankly at the magnificent ocean, a burning passion surging in his dark eyes.
"Young friend!"
Just as Lin Langtian's eyes burned with passion, a sudden shout rang out like thunder in his ears. He snapped back to his senses and stared blankly at the Devouring Emperor behind him, whose brows were furrowed.
"Look at your feet!" The Devouring Emperor said solemnly when he saw Lin Langtian come back to his senses.
Lin Langtian turned his head, and his pupils shrank. Cold sweat poured out of his body. It turned out that he had unknowingly come to the edge of the stone platform floating on the Sea of Reincarnation.
If he takes another step, he will fall into the ocean.
"The meaning of reincarnation here has a fatal attraction for a powerful person like you who has not yet entered the Reincarnation Stage. As long as your mind has the slightest flaw, you will fall into it and be unable to extricate yourself," the Devouring Emperor said solemnly.
Lin Langtian hurriedly took two steps back, stopping only when he was beside the Devouring Emperor. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the Devouring Emperor gratefully. "Thank you, senior."
He knew that if the Devouring Emperor hadn't awakened him at the crucial moment, he would probably have fallen directly into the Sea of Reincarnation by now.
The Devouring Emperor shook his head and said, "It's alright, but you must remember that accepting my inheritance also carries great danger. What I am passing on to you is my lifelong understanding of reincarnation."
For powerful individuals who haven't yet entered the Reincarnation Stage, it's extremely easy to get lost in it, and once lost in the cycle of reincarnation, there's no hope of ever turning things around.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Devouring Emperor's expression became extremely solemn.
"I was careless this time."
Lin Langtian's face flushed slightly. He hadn't expected the power of reincarnation to be so strong. He had only sensed it faintly, yet it had almost caused him to fall into its trap.
"It's too early for you to comprehend the cycle of reincarnation here. However, once you reach the Samsara Stage or the Death Profound Stage Perfection, you can enter the Devouring Realm again to receive my inheritance," said the Devouring Emperor.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded. He had just advanced to the Lesser Completion of the Death Profound Stage Lesser Success, and it was indeed too early for him to comprehend the meaning of reincarnation.
"By the way, I sensed the aura of the Devouring Black Corpse on you..." At this moment, the Devouring Emperor looked at Lin Langtian.
"Devouring Black Corpse?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was taken aback. Then he remembered the Devouring Sky Corpse and suddenly realized that this thing was actually called the Devouring Black Corpse.
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian nodded.
Seeing this, the Devouring Emperor's eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia as he said, "When I was young, I saw the Lord of Devouring's proud demeanor, and ever since then, I have always compared myself to the Lord of Devouring."
The Lord of Devouring created the Devouring Sky Corpse, and I then spent a vast amount of resources to create the Devouring Black Corpse. Unfortunately, after many years, I only managed to create one.
"Furthermore, the Devouring Black Corpse also suffered severe damage in that great battle. Although you cannot yet comprehend the Sea of Reincarnation, placing the Devouring Black Corpse within it might accelerate its recovery," said the Devouring Emperor.
"Oh, this Sea of Reincarnation can repair the Devouring Black Corpse?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's eyes lit up. If that were true, then the Devouring Black Corpse would become one of his trump cards.
As Lin Langtian rejoiced, the image of the Devouring Emperor became increasingly illusory. He looked at Lin Langtian and gave him some instructions.
"You possess two great Ancestral Talisman; remember not to reveal them easily, otherwise even more powerful Evil Demon will surely seek you out."
"Hehe, I won't say much. I only hope that in the future, if this world suffers another calamity, you will be able to turn the tide. I sense a power in you that does not belong to this continent."
"I hope you can become the second Symbol Ancestor..."
"Bye now..."
The image before them slowly turned into specks of light and dissipated. The once-powerful Devouring Emperor had completely vanished from the world.
Lin Langtian gazed at the scattered specks of light with a complex expression, then respectfully performed a solemn junior's salute.
"Senior, may you have a safe journey."
