Looking at the current situation, the only sects most likely to leak information are the Undying Forest and Changshen Palace.
It was probably out of revenge against Tianya Mountain, or perhaps because they didn't want Xiaoyun Temple to remain completely intact.
"What...what are you saying?"
The young boy beside the old monk looked up and said in a trembling voice, "My master is unconscious and cannot answer, Abbot Su."
"Um."
Su Lin nodded nonchalantly and sighed softly, "She warned me about this variable long ago, but I still underestimated your ambitions."
Xiao Linlin had anticipated that someone would leak the news and had suggested that Jia Zhengyi leave the Transcending Tribulation cultivators from Tianya Mountain to oversee the flying shuttle.
However, Su Lin refused, not wanting to reveal too much closeness to Tianya Mountain, and even less wanting to delay Tianya Mountain's efficiency in competing for source stones because of this.
The absence of any Transcending Tribulation cultivator can affect the final allocation of Source Stones, which also involves subsequent plans.
Su Lin felt that the Undying Forest was, after all, a celestial sect. Even if they were stupid, they would still be able to consider the overall situation and wouldn't cause trouble at this time.
But who would have thought that the Immortal Sect was truly ruthless!
Once they entered the woods, they started to abandon their supporters.
This also means that some immortal sects have begun to abandon their plans to compete for Xiaoyun Temple and instead have started a "destroy it if you can't have it" strategy.
"What...what do you mean by that?"
The boy looked confused, unable to understand Su Lin's sigh. Su Lin glanced at the boy but made no move.
The wind blows gently, both still and soft.
"instigate!"
Suddenly, that powerful divine sense reappeared! It only lasted for a fleeting moment, making it impossible to grasp!
In that instant, the bodies of the boy and the old cultivator collapsed simultaneously, their flesh, bones, and Dao foundations instantly transforming into the purest spiritual light! They melted into the breeze and vanished into the world!
All of this happened so fast!
Several breaths later, a cultivator suddenly realized what was happening and cried out in alarm, "He's dead! He's dead!"
The cultivators all looked over, and their scalps tingled! The hairs on their bodies stood on end! They all retreated hastily!
What kind of supernatural power is this!
No one had ever heard of a mere divine thought being able to crush a Void Realm cultivator into dust! Not even a human form, Dao Platform, or Divine Soul remained; it was directly compressed into pure spiritual light at the material level!
This is terrifying!
This is no ordinary cultivator, but a Void Transformation cultivator! That's the realm that truly deserves to be called a powerful cultivator!
In any large sect, Void Realm cultivators are treasures, but now they're like trash... no! Like dust, scattered by the wind! As if they never existed in this world!
Just as the cultivators were in chaos, frantically searching for the enemy, they heard Su Lin's calm voice asking again.
"Is there anyone else coming to search my flying shuttle?"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators from all sects looked up in astonishment, their eyes filled with extreme fear as they gazed at Su Lin.
It's him!
Is it him?
This is outrageous! Does a Nascent Soul cultivator have such abilities?
Impossible, absolutely impossible! This has never happened before, not even Li Xingtian of Changshen Palace has ever done it. Who could break through the shackles of the laws of cultivation?
It's like trying to convince an ordinary person that "an ant can bite the earth and make it explode."
Is this possible?
This is complete bullshit!
Even with the facts right in front of them, people dare not believe it, they simply cannot believe it!
"That person...that person is a Tribulation Transcending cultivator from the Longevity Pavilion?"
From within the crowd, someone spoke in a trembling voice, filled with fear: "Could it be that he's secretly taking action to protect Xiaoyun Temple!"
This speculation has gained acceptance among more people.
Su Lin's eyes remained calm and still. He didn't explain anything, but simply glanced at the crowd in front of him and silently felt the supernatural power he had just used.
What he had previously used was the divine power of the seven source stones, "Divine Thought of Heaven and Earth," which allows one to mobilize one's own divine thought using the wondrous methods of heaven and earth, and to merge a wisp of one's own spirit to mobilize the great power of the rules of heaven and earth, which can be unleashed in an instant. It can be used for both killing and defense, and is extremely powerful.
Moreover, since his divine sense merged into the world, it was extremely difficult for others to detect it. Judging from the effect of the Taoist technique just now, Su Lin was very satisfied.
He had the intention of verifying the supernatural powers of the seven Origin Stones one by one, but unfortunately, the people around him were not giving him the opportunity.
Knowing the danger, and realizing they were not as powerful as the Void Realm cultivators, the cultivators began to retreat silently, their eyes filled with fear.
No one mentioned the seven source stones anymore. Even if Xiaoyun Temple really had seven source stones, given the current situation, it was beyond their ability to discover them.
"They're gone!"
The disciples of Xiaoyun Temple remained vigilant and watched until all the cultivators from the myriad sects dispersed, at which point Wang Zhaoning flew to Su Lin's side.
“Master, it is my fault for failing in my duty and allowing outsiders to disturb your seclusion.”
Wang Zhaoning lowered her head, and Su Lin smiled and said, "It's alright, you've done very well."
"Go and rest, and take medicine to treat your injuries."
"Yes, Master."
Wang Zhaoning agreed and slowly withdrew.
Wang Zhaoning had some guesses about the Originium and the mysterious supernatural power from before, but being sensible, she didn't ask any more questions.
Su Lin remained standing at the head of the flying shuttle with his hands behind his back, not looking at the dispersed cultivators from the myriad sects. His gaze was fixed on the battlefield where powerful figures from various sects were fighting in the distance.
That source stone has changed hands repeatedly and is being fiercely contested by various cultivators. Several Mahayana cultivators have been seriously injured, and many cultivators from various sects near the battlefield have also died.
Given the long-term oppression of the Immortal Sect and the strength of all sects, the Mahayana cultivators are already the strongest among all the sects in the world, and they are now holding nothing back.
The Wan Sect had no more trump cards left, and they unleashed all their magical treasures and powerful experts, determined to fight tooth and nail for this source stone.
"Even a little bit of profit that the Immortal Sect squeezes through their fingers is enough to make people all over the world fight tooth and nail for it."
"With such a disparity, how can you possibly compete with the immortal sects? You're just full of ambition but nothing else."
Su Lin slowly shook his head, glancing towards the direction of the Sea of Ten Thousand Forests. Then, he made a hand seal with his right hand and silently unleashed another Origin Stone Divine Power.
