## First Appearance

### Manhua

Chapter 01

**Wang Lin** is the main protagonist of **Renegade Immortal**.

## Appearance

Born with a weak body, Wang Lin's features begin as average before becoming moderately handsome as a high grade cultivator. He was born with black hair and black eyes but the former turned white for the first time after studying for 7 years in the Restriction Mountain Trial on Planet Suzaku. Later on, the hair of his Ancient God original body turned red from all the killing intent it accumulated while the cultivation avatar regained black hair . In the end, it became definitely white after the second Vermilion Bird Mark Awakening. It can be seen as a testimony of his harsh life which was filled with life and death situations, tragedies and losses, making Wang Lin regards himself as an old man even though he still possessed a long lifespan.

Wang Lin looks about 30 years old. His appearance is ordinary and there is nothing unusual about him apart from the lonely and ancient aura he releases. Another trait that characterizes Wang Lin is his all-white appearance that comes from his white hair and the white robes he always dresses with. It is however worth noting that during his early years of demonic cultivation on Planet Suzaku, Wang Lin dressed in a black robe which he later gave to his clone Slaughter.

His white hair are complemented by red eyes and a courageous disposition. Purple Stars swirl on Wang Lin's forehead and eyes and his height can reach astronomic numbers when he is in his Ancient God/One form. Wang Lin's red eyes are by far one of his most distinctive features as his monstrous killing intent and madness can be felt from them.

His expression is generally cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotions that could betray his real thoughts.

## Personality

His goal is to become an Immortal so he doesn't disappoint his parents, Fourth Uncle, family, and the expectations of the people from his village. Even though he was intelligent, he didn't like killing. The simple nature of a native villager was ingrained in him. But after the death of his parents and relatives, Wang Lin became vicious and did not hesitate to kill those that offended him.

Wang Lin's exceptional intelligence and unbreakable will are his main qualities. He is indeed often praised for his cleverness and wits by his allies and foes alike.

With the increase of Wang Lin's cultivation, pride and arrogance naturally came along. After all, Wang Lin did started as a simple mortal before becoming a great Immortal. The different positions he occupied also allowed Wang Lin to feel the weight of the responsibilities, and made him develop a majesty unique to a powerhouse who started from rock bottom.

The older he became coupled with the multiple setbacks he experienced allowed Wang Lin frequently reflect on his way of living. In addition to his long years of cultivation as an immortal, he understood three ethereal essences and once became a mortal Grand Scholar. All these further honed his wisdom.

Wang Lin is very ruthless and decisive when taking action. Indeed, he began his cultivation journey as a devil who slaughtered any potential enemies, and even others to obtain ressources. It is only after attaining Soul Formation that he calmed down his murderous nature. But even thought Wang Lin decided to not become a demonic cultivator like his master Situ Nan, his foundation as a a cultivator without talent truly comes from this path. His nature therefore stayed extremely similar to the one of a devil. Wang Lin did not hesitate to commit massacres by multiples occasion, earning him the nickname of Master Demon and a killing intent strong enough to shock even the most cruel cultivators (like the White Tiger General of the Sealed Realm). There are other testimonies of his violent life like the Ji Realm, the demonic spells he mastered or created, the Slaughter Essence he comprehended and his friendship with Situ Nan and Qing Shui, two renowned mass murderers. Furthermore, Wang Lin's mind is often overcome by madness during life and death crisis, which often result in him causing great harm to his enemies and even himself in the process.

The people Wang Lin has gained and lost throughout his journey as a cultivator has caused him to be unwilling to let go of the people who are precious to him. As a result, he became increasingly defiant against the heavens, using this as a foundation for his cultivation path as a Heaven Defying Cultivator. But it also made Wang Lin carry a lonely and depressed aura around him which contrast greatly with his killing intent. His sorrow has already saddened a lot of powerful cultivators like Dao Master Blue Dream or Xuan Luo.

During his youth, Wang Lin was smart, curious, cautious but simple-minded. He's also have a tenacious will as shown by the Heng Yue Sect second test, forcing himself until he lost his mind, or when he studied restriction on the restriction mountain. He shows great love and filial piety towards his parents, striving to meet their expectations of him by becoming an Immortal. However, Wang Lin's initial entry into the treacherous cultivation world was an arduous one due to his mediocre talent. To survive, Wang Lin's character grew more cunning and resolute. Despite his changing character, Wang Lin was still reluctant to kill people who did not directly harm him. His naivete ultimately became the Wang Clan's undoing when Wang Lin unwittingly caused its destruction by sparing the lives of mortals who saw his face, allowing the vengeful Teng Huayuan to locate his hometown. After his clan's destruction, Wang Lin's personality drastically changed. Overwhelmed with grief and remorse for his role in his clan's fate, he vowed to avenge his family by destroying the Teng Clan. This traumatic experience caused Wang Lin to cast away his old ideals, recognizing that the only law in the cultivation world that matters is the law of the jungle. Wang Lin's vow of revenge shapes him to become a cold and ruthless killer. He becomes increasingly apathetic, showing no feeling for the pain and deaths of others. Together with his natural intelligence and focus, this makes it easier for Wang Lin to exploit others in his plans while minimizing the risk to himself. Due to his impatience on attaining revenge before anything unfortunate happens to the Teng Clan, Wang Lin develops a low tolerance for failure and betrayal, not hesitating to threaten or kill those who fail to meet his expectations. Despite his ruthless and calculating nature, Wang Lin did retain traces of his former self. He is a man of his word, fulfilling his promises and vows to others. He never outwardly looks for trouble and only retaliates when he is threatened or provoked first. Revenge did not significantly dull his ability to care and develop attachments to others. This is best exemplified through his feelings of love towards Li MuWan. But first, his experiences have only strengthened his desire to accomplish his childhood dream of reaching the pinnacle of cultivators. However, his desire to accomplish his dream has not stopped himself from developing some bitter feelings about his life as a cultivator due to the numerous trials and outcomes it has produced. This has caused himself to question as to what exactly is the end goal for Cultivation.

## Background

Born as a mortal without anything special. Before the Heng Yue Sect disciple selection event, Wang Lin's dream was to pass the State Exam and enter the court to make his parent proud and respected by other.

## History

### Book 1 - The Mediocre Youth

He was allowed to participate in several tests to try and become a disciple in the Heng Yue Sect. The day of the test, he met Wang Zhou, and Wang Jie. Wang Lin was shocked and disappointed when he did not become a disciple of the Heng Yue Sect. Although he failed all of the 3 tests (Spiritual Power, Willpower, and the Door test), he displayed great determination, but because his talent was too low he failed (Willpower). Letting down his family, and wasting the chance his Fourth Uncle gave to him. After a dream of him becoming an immortal, he wakes up in the middle of the night and decide to travel to Heng Yue Sect to try again. Even if he fails again, he will find a way to enter an immortal sect. When he was able to see Heng Yue Sect, he decide to take a break but was attacked by a Tiger. As Wang Lin approached a dead end, he jumped off a cliff.

When he woke up, he found one of his arms was broken and understand how he survived, because of hunger, he decide to eat a dead bird who was in the cave and from the dead bird found a bead, thinking it's a Niedan, (Inner Pellet). After finding the truth, he put it aside. The next morning, because of thirst, he lick the dew from the dead animal bone around the bead and discover it's use.

Wang Lin later tries to descend the cliff using his cloth but end up falling down. Luckily, a few moment after his fall, he hear his father's voice, after being found, because of his state, they think he tried to suicide. People laments him for attempting suicide, but end up able to join into Heng Yue Sect with the intention that after 8 to 10 years, he didn't succeed in cultivating, to send him back.

### Book 2 - The Bloody Image Of Cultivation

After 4 years of Closed-Door cultivation Wang Lin decides to go to Tian Shui City. On his way he gets lost because Situ Nan urges him to fly over the forest, then he meets a group of merchants transporting a treasure and the merchants give him a ride. En route, Wang Lin's group meet bandits, Wang Lin recognizes one of the bandits to be a former member of the Heng Yue Sect, Zhang Hu. Zhang Hu pretends to not know Wang Lin because his "master" is nearby so that Wang Lin wont die, yet His master and Wang Lin fight anyways.

After Wang Lin kills Zhang Hu's Master The two go to Tian Shui City. Zhang Hu's master was a disciple of Old man Jimo, and Old man Jimo sent other disciples to take revenge on Wang Lin. Teng Li takes on Old man Jimo's request and chases Wang Lin out of the city and into a forest that distorts Divine sense. Eventually Wang Lin wins and he steals the Foundation of Teng Li, which also increases his natural talent. While stealing Teng Li's Foundation Teng Li's great-great grandfather Teng Huayuan, a Nascent Soul cultivator, puts a curse on Wang Lin which lets him teleport to Wang Lin within a certain range, and vows to make life a living Hell for Wang Lin.

After Stealing Teng Li's Foundation, Wang Lin successfully reaches Foundation Establishment. Now he can cultivate with techniques from Situ Nan, and decides to cultivate the Underworld Ascension Method. He uses a Yin Detecting technique to find a suitable place for Cultivating he Yin energy necessary to advance his Foundation, and reaches a ruin full of dense Yin energy. While cultivating, Wang Lin encounters a Blue-skinned man who has nine talismans attached to his body. The man speaks in a language that Wang Lin can't understand, the two fight and eventually the blue skin man retreats after Wang Lin expresses to him the He does not want to needlessly fight. Wang Lin goes back to cultivating and within one night breaks through the first four levels of the Underworld ascension method, reaching the peak of early Foundation Establishment, and forming his first cold core.

While cultivating the Blue-skinned man returns and conveys to Wang Lin that he wants Wang Lin to follow him, and Wang Lin complies. After the two reach the mouth of a dragon statue, Wang Lin met the Nascent Soul of the Corpse Yin Sect elder named Wu Yu. From Wu Yu, Wang Lin learns of the Blue-Skinned mans name, Adai, and Wu Yu explains their situation, then lets Wang Lin leave the forest and teleport straight to the Corpse Yin Sect.

Once Wang Lin arrives at the corpse sect, he meets an Nascent Soul elder named Ye Zi. Ye Zi gives Wang Lin an immortals cave and lets him cultivate to prepare for a competition where cultivators from all the surrounding sects compete for tokens to be able to go the Foreign battlegrounds. After finishing his Cultivation session, before Wang Lin is allowed to go to the competition, Ye Zi makes him slice of a sliver of his soul and gives it to another late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who will join Wang Lin in representing the Corpse Yin Sect in the competition.

After Reaching the Jue Ming Valley, the location where the competition takes place, just when the Corpse Yin Sect members are about to destroy Wang Lin Sliver of Soul, Wang Lin attacks the members of the Corpse Yin Sect and take back the piece of his soul, then flees.

Meanwhile Teng Huayuan, meets and expert to divine the location of Wang Lin's family He success in doing so and Kills off his entire family aside form Wang Hao, and Wang Zhou because they are members of another sect. As for everyone else Teng Huayuan traps their souls in a banner and through the curse he established between himself and Wang Lin, he transmits the scene of him annihilating the Wang family into Wang Lin mind. He then tells Wang Lin that he will be waiting outside of Jue Ming Valley when the formation trapping in cultivators inside stops, and that if he does not appear he will destroy all the souls of Wang Lin's family in his banner.

Wang Lin overcome with grief breaks into the Ji Realm of Spiritual Energy, and wanders lost and confused killing everyone who provokes him in Jue Ming Valley. Then Situ Nan wakes up and tells Wang Lin that his family still has hope since their souls are not extinguished. Now, no longer confused Wang Lin starts collection the tokens of everyone in Jue Ming Valley, and manages to get five out of seven. He destroys four and keeps one for himself.

### Book 3 - Famous In The Sea Of Devils

After entering sea of devils with Li Muwan, Wang Lin found a cave to cultivate. Later he went to Nan Dou City to get a alchemy furnace. When buying the furnace he was noticed by people of Fighting Evil Sect. They chase after him with 10 Core Formation Cultivators. After returning to the cave he managed to stop them for a while, meanwhile Li Muwan tried to complete Distant Heaven Pill but failed. Wang Lin took the Uncomplete pill and broke through to Core Formation. Because of Ji realm he is invincible in the same cultivation level thus he kills everyone. While trying to kill the fighting evil sect sect head he is hit by Ten Thousand Devil Hundred Day Kill Order ( when a person is hit by it that person has the word punish word on his forehead and the one who kill him will get the kill order activator's cultivation). Because of that he is attacked by many core formation Cultivators. He killed all the way to the Fighting Evil Sect and takes control of it.

### Book 6 - Arriving On Planet Tian Yun

Wang Lin and Situ Nan left Planet Suzaku and stopped by the Trading Planet to get some materials. During their journey to the Trading Planet, Situ trainee Wang Lin and imparted him spells and techniques. The Trading planet mainly consist of oceans. Situ Nan told Wang Lin that the best way to obtain things are to steal and plunder. When they arrived at the Trading Planet, they split up and Situ told Wang Lin to meet him again in three days. When Wang Lin arrived on land, he met Li Dannan. Li Dannan became his guide as Wang Lin searched for a Void Wood Stone and snow ink. After obtaining the wood void stone, Wang Lin met Bai Wei on his way to a shop that had the snow ink. Wang Lin wasn’t able to get the snow ink because the price was obnoxiously high, and as a result, he contact Situ to steal it for him. In the three days of Wang Lin and Situ’s separation, Situ had made a mess of the planet and had stolen from almost every sect and family on the planet. On the third day when Situ met up with Wang Lin, he was being chased by a huge crowd of people. Wang Lin and Situ Nan escaped the planet with the treasure and Wang Lin received the snow ink. Wang Lin and Situ parted ways afterwards and the atmosphere was very melancholy.

When Wang Lin arrived at the Tian Yun Planet, he appeared at the Purple Cloud Pavilion of the Heavenly Fate Sect. The Heavenly Fate sect was divided into seven divisions: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, cyan, and purple. The Purple division was by far the weakest out of the seven divisions because it has so much in-fighting. When Wang Lin entered the Purple Cloud Pavilion, he had to go through three trials/tests. After the three tests, Wang Lin was made into the seventh disciple of the Purple Division. Wang Lin learned that there were actually seven true disciples of the Heavenly Fate Sect. One true disciple for each color division. All Seer would also soon choose these seven true disciples. After being made the 7th disciple of the purple division, he headed back to the residence assigned to the seventh purple disciple. When he arrived, there was a woman who wouldn’t let him in. Not wanting to cause trouble, he decided to make a cave near by but was disturbed by two disciplinary elders claiming that he could not make a cave in this location. Wang Lin realized that trying to avoid trouble would get him no where in the Heavenly Fate Sect. As a result, he decided to display his absolute domineeringness. Wang Lin then went back to the destroyed Purple Cloud Pavilion and renamed it the Purple Forest Palace. Wang Lin almost killed Zhao Xingsha but All Seer arrived to calm everything down. Later, when All Seer’s birthday banquet was approaching, Wang Lin was schemed against and trapped by Zhao Xingsha, Sims Rufeng, second brother and Zhao Xingming (fourth sister). They trapped Wang Lin because they didn’t want him to have the chance to be choose by All Seer to be a true disciple. While being trapped, Wang Ling was able to break through the Mid Stages of Soul Formation. As a result, he broke trough for trapping formation and crash the birthday banquet on the last day. He battled second brother and Zhao Xingsha. Wang Lin devoured Second brothers soul and heavily injured Zhao Xingsha  but an elder stopped Wang Lin before he killed him. At the end of the birthday banquet, All Seer also choose his true disciples. Wang Lin had a fishy feeling about being a true disciple and didn’t want to be one, but All Seer insisted that he tried. As a result he battled Zhao Xingming and won. However, the sixth brother, Chen Tao, showed up, Wang Lin was once again challenged. Chen Tao was at the mid Ascendant level. Although Wang Lin didn’t win against Chen Tao, he was able to put up a good fight that shocked everyone, especially Chen Tao. Wang Lin later followed All Seer to receive his Celestial Cultivation Technique and requested to temporarily leave the Heavenly Fate Sect to train.

Wang Lin decided to go to the Earth Planet where he was greeted by junior sect master Xu Yunshan of the Xuan Yuan Sect. Wang Lin later traveled and stumbled upon a group searching for the Brilliant Golden Fruit. When Wang Lin confronted the group, the three elders from the Da Lou Sword Sect attacked Wang Lin. After they were killed, Wang Lin fed his Mosquito Beast the fruits. Wang Lin later used seals to turn the area that grew the Brilliant Golden Fruit into a Golden Spirit Root. He absorbed the Golden Spirit Root and also feed it to his Mosquito Beast and Thunder Toad which caused both of them to start evolving.

Later, Wang Lin entered the Eastern Demon Spirit Sea and met a tribe in the Mountain Valley. After displaying his power, Wang Lin was able to gain the recognition of the tribe and their chief, Ouyang Hua. After defending the tribe of outsiders, Wang Lin decided to teach this tribe the Soul Refining Sect's heritage in order to continue on their legacy. The tribe became the Soul Refining Tribe of the eastern sea. Wang Lin was regarded as the ancestor of the tribe and the tribe quickly expanded to over a million people. Through the Soul Refining Tribe, Wang Lin was able to restore the power of his One Billion Soul Flag. Wang Lin later took Thirteen and Huo Pao to Sky Demon Country to help them gain experience as well as use this experience as a trial for them. In the Sky Demon Country, he was able to befriend the general of the city, Mo Lihai. During Wang Lin's stay, he entered a cave where Yao Xixue tried to scheme against him but ultimately failed. As a result, she was captured by him and he made her tell him all she knew about the demonic realm. Mo Lihai later asked him to travel to the capital city and help him obtain a Vice Commander-in-Chief position. In the tournament, Wang Lin was able to beat his competitors and ring the Demonic Drum fifteen times, allowing him to place first and become an Ascendant. Bei Luo also helped **Wang Lin** battle the divine retribution during his breakthrough to Ascendant. Bei Luo later helped Wang Lin trap the scattered devil, Tie Lan. In return, Wang Lin helped Bei Luo weaken the fragmented ancient demon under the Fire Demon Country. Wang Lin's involvement helped give Bei Luo a single opportunity which resulted in him being able to devour the fragmented ancient demon under the Fire Demon Country. To thank him, Bei Luo allowed Wang Lin to enter the diluted version of Shi Realm which allowed him to see the trap inside the Celestial Slaughter Art before it was too late. He also located Zhou Yi's spirit's location inside the Tide Abyss.

When All-Seer, Ling Tianhou, Blood Ancestor and a few other old freaks came to the Sea of Devils, they saw that Wang Lin had the cave token and had greedy thoughts. As Wang Lin escaped into the abyss, he shouted to them that there was another a fifth cave that only Blood Ancestor knew about. This brought enough confusion to the group of old monsters to allow Wang Lin to escape.

### Book 7 - Fame Shakes The Allheaven Star System

When **Wang Lin** escaped through an abyss and entered the Allheaven Star System, Greed had been sent to follow him. When Wang Lin arrived, He met three cultivators and ended up saving them. Because Wang Lin did not want to use his real name, he called himself Xu Mu. After learning the basic details of this new star system, Wang Lin decided to head to planet Ran Yun. After arriving at Planet Ran Yun, Wang Lin was able to meet Sun Tai. Sun Tai wanted to spend the remainder of his years with some peace and quiet, and as a result, they become friends. Liu Mei later comes and attacks Wang Lin and she ends up losing to Wang Lin. It is revealed that she had a child with him and because of her hatred for him, she refined their son into a resentful spirit. Wang Lin raises his son, Wang Ping in a desolate village and raises him up to be a mortal. After his son’s death, Wang Lin was able to further evolve his domain.

When Wang Lin left Planet Ran Yun, he was caught up by Greed and the Moongazer Serpent and escaped to the southern domain. In the Southern Domain, he entered the Thunder Celestial Realm and fought against the Blood Ancestor. He also helped many from the southern domain escape the Thunder Celestial Realm but he didn’t leave. As he traveled throughout the Thunder Celestial Realm, he met met the Chosen Immortal Clan in the Thunder Celestial Realm and he learned the history of how the Celestials enslaved the Immortal Clan.  As he was able to help the Chosen Immortal Clan out of the Thunder Celestial Realm, he killed some members of the Yao Family. The Yao family, being one of the 4 major powers in the southern domain, sent a kill order for Wang Lin. As a result, numerous families in the southern domain chased after Wang Lin. Many of those who chased after Wang Lin had their entire planet destroyed by him. As a result, many of the cultivators who chased after Wang Lin began to reconsider.

When Wang Lin arrived at the Southern Domain’s Celestial Tournament, he was able to obtain first place and the qualification to enter the Thunder Celestial Temple. When Wang Lin arrived at the Thunder Celestial Temple, he had to go through three trials: heaven, earth, and human. Russell, a member of the Thunder Celestial Temple was the test proctor and though almost all the participants were trash. However, when he saw Wang Lin easily defeat his Golden Giant, he realized that Wang Lin was the one that killed his brother. There for he attacked Wang Lin. However, Wang Lin had shocked him when they fought and Wang Lin almost killed him if Master Flamespark did not interfere at the last moment. However, Qing Shui suddenly killed Russell with the Ji Realm for offending Wang Lin. On the second trial, Wang Lin and those who passed went to the Thunder Lake. Wang Lin had no problems passing the second trial and even absorbed the thunder snake spirit, astounding everyone. In the third trial, Wang Lin and the other cultivators were sent into a battle realm. The goal was to get the most kills. When they died in that realm, they would be sent back out without actually dying. Wang Lin killed more many cultivators, including Xu Ting and became the Thunder Celestial of the Thunder Celestial Temple. Later, Wang Lin made a request to Zhan Li Yunzi to resurrect Li Muwan’s soul. Li Yunzi wasn’t able to do It so he referred Wang Lin to his ancestor that could use the Qi Xi spell to revive Li Muwan. When Wang Lin met the ancestor, he wanted 50% of Wang Lin’s life force to perform the Qi Xi spell. However, they were not able to successfully recover Li Muwan. When Wang Lin arrived back in the Alliance Star System, he went straight back to visit Planet Suzaku. There, he found that a big head youth from the Allheaven Star System tried to attack and destroy Planet Suzaku. After beating the youth and making him into a servant, Wang Lin came back to the Wang family to find out that the Corpse Sect was using his Wang Family to develop resentful spirits. In his anger, he killed all the Corpse Sect members on Planet Suzaku and was able to take Lei Ji as a mount.

### Book 8 - Alliance's Secret

After completing all karmic ties on Planet Suzaku, Wang Lin left to join the battle between the Allheaven Star System and Alliance Star System’s war. Wang Lin, Qing Shui, the Moongazer Serpent, and a few cultivators were later sucked into a void. In the void, Luo Chen suddenly appears from the Moongazer Serpent. Luo Chen, an Ancient God, was integrated in the Moongazer Serpent and then accepts the challenge from Wang Lin so Wang Lin. Wang Lin gets recognition from Luo Chen and becomes an adult Ancient God. However, a mysterious youth and old man form the Moon Devourer Clan comes and interrupts. The Heaven Defying Bead suddenly activated and was able to beat back the two people from the Moon Devourer Clan.

Wang Lin headed back to Planet Tian Yun in order to head back into the Sea of Devils. When he arrived everyone was surprised at his level of cultivation. As a result, Ling Tianhou challenged him to take three of his sword strikes. After taking all three and surprising everyone, Wang Lin returned to the Purple Pavilion where he met Bai Wei. After learning of Bai Wei’s secret, he tries to help Bai Wei but ends up still falling into All-Seer’s schemes. When All-Seer came to attack Wang Lin, Ling Tianhou helped defend Wang Lin and invited him to be an elder of the Da Lou Sword Sect. When Wang Lin was at the Da Lou Sword Sect, he was able to refine the Yang energy from Bai Wei with the assistance of the Heaven Defying Bead. During his absorption, a powerful aura came out and attacked Ling Tianhou and All-Seer. Wang Lin's aura was able to injure and absorb a good amount of All-Seer’s origin soul. After Wang Lin was done, he left Planet Da Lou and came across the three Chen brothers. They invited Wang Lin and his group to stay and cultivate. During Wang Lin’s stay, Situ Nan came to capture two girls from the Chen Brothers. Situ Nan wanted to find Wang Lin to give these two girls to Wang Lin as his concubines. As Situ Nan was causing havoc, he suddenly realized that Wang Lin so happen to be here as well. They catch up and later decided to head towards the Sea of Devils once it opened. In the Sea of Devils, Wang Lin met up with the Soul Refining Tribe and gifted them various cultivation methods. Wang Lin also found out that the statue of him that the tribe had been worshiping had a soul devil in it. Wang Lin refined it as his second avatar.

In the Demon Spirit Land, Wang Lin runs across Master Void. Because Wang Lin had awaken the Vermillion Bird Divine Mark, Master Void could not allow Wang Lin to grow any further because this would guarantee the rise of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect. In the Celestial Emperors Tower, Master Void first tried to kill Wang Lin with his cultivation of Peak Nirvana Shatterer. However, Wang Lin set up a killing formation and display his source origin in order to lure Master Void into the trap. When Master Void was trying to comprehend the Source Origin, Wang Lin attacked with his killing formation. Wang Lin was able to escape into a transfer array into the Celestial tower while heavily injuring Master Void. Wang Lin caused enough damage to bring his cultivation down to the mid Nirvana Shatterer realm.

When Master Void and Wang Lin met again, they were in the Celestial Emperors Tower. Master Void wanted to attack Wang Lin but Zhou Yi, Wang Wei, Hu Juan, and Bei Lou coldly stared at him. However, in that instant, Wang Lin moved to attack, causing Zhou Yi, Wang Wei, Hu Juan, and Bei Lou to attack as well. Just at that moment, the All-Seer and Ling Tianhou arrived. Master Void tried to ask for him from All-Seer, but instead, All-Seer schemed against him, causing everyone's attack to fall upon him. This injured his body and soul even further and dropping his cultivation to almost the Peak of early Nirvana Shatterer.

When they were all in the 9th level of the Celestial Emperors Tower, Master Void sneak-attacked the heavily injured Wang Wei. Wang Lin used his furnace to switch places with Wang Wei and defended against Master Void's attack. When Ta Jia was able to possess Qing Lin's body, everyone was forced to escape the Celestial Emperors Tower. Master Void was later sealed by Ta Jia. When Wang Lin was fighting All-Seer, Wang Lin used sundered Night and end up killing two of All-Seer's avatars along with Master Void. As Wang Lin was on his last breath, Lu Yun from the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect came to his rescue. Lu Yun was very impressed with Wang Lin and after beating back All-Seer and sealing Ta Jia, he took Wang Lin back to the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect. For the next three years, Lu Yun helped Wang Lin recover and become the **Sixth Generation Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor**. After Lu Yun died, Wang Lin went to save the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor and subsequently gave the rein back to the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor. Wang Lin also schemed against Tuo Sen by notifying everyone that there was an 8 star Ancient God on Planet Suzaku. Wang Lin was basically borrowing a knife to kill an enemy. Both the Corpse Sect and the Allheaven Star System sent powerful members to Planet Suzaku to kill Tuo Sen. However, they were not successful and Wang Lin was forced to escape into the Cloud Sea Star System.

### Book 9 - Peak Of The Cloud Sea

When **Wang Lin** arrived in the north region of the Cloud Sea Star System. He saved some mortals and began living in their village as a doctor and a mortal. One day, the Origin Sect sent out people to recruit and scout out cultivator. An Origin Sect disciple named Zhao Yu came to the village Wang Lin was living in. The arrogant Zhao Yu made all the mortal villagers stand outside in the rain. When one of the villagers pleaded with Zhao Yu to let the children back inside because they could not stand the freezing rain, Zhao Yu was about to reprimand that cultivator when Wang Lin stepped in. With Wang Lin's powerful cultivation, Zhao Yu's eyes immediately became dull and Wang Lin had Zhao Yu lead him back to the Origin Sect.

At the Origin Sect, Wang Lin took the name of Ceng Niu. No one in the sect could see through his cultivation and they all thought he was just a mere mortal. When Rudy and Song Wude came to the Origin Sect to take it over, Wang Lin kills them both and everyone witnesses it. Lu Yanfei and Xu Yun comes to Wang Lin's small house and confronts him. Being the wise and smart person, Lu Yanfei accurately guesses Wang Lin's situation and then gives him an identity as one of the Origin Sect's ancestors.

Wang Lin then travels outside the Origin Sect to the Wild Continent. There he stumbles upon a secret for the third step that caused a huge calamity in the Cloud Sea Star System thousands of years ago. During his return, the sects who heard about this had already gathered toward the region. Wang Lin meets Noble Money and his group on the way back and they try to detain him for questioning, but he ends up killing Noble Money and his group. When he returned to the Origin Sect, Li Qian Mei and Lu Yuncong came to pay him a visit. Li Qian Mei wanted to ask him three questions and Lu Yuncong wanted to get revenge for his son. However, When Lu Yuncong arrived with Li Qianmei, he quickly found out that he was no match for Wang Lin, especially in Dao. The three talked about Dao throughout the night and both Li Qianmei and Lu Yuncong gained great benefits.

Li Qian Mei invited **Wang Lin** to an auction held by the Treasured Jade Sect and asked if he wanted to travel together. When the two arrived at the Treasure Jade Sect region, Wang Lin was in search for Origin Crystals. After displaying his power, he was invited to a secret exchange with many Nirvana Shatterer old monsters. There, he displayed his wealth and caught the attention of a few greedy old monsters. Wu Qing followed Wang Lin as he left the city and attempted to kill Wang Lin, however, Wang Lin killed him using the War Spirit Print. Everyone was shocked and believed that Wang Lin was a mysterious cultivator from the rank 9 God Sect. Wang Lin was then invited by Master Ashen Pine to the Seven Colored Realm in order to help Master Ashen Pine find something. Master Ashen Pine took Wang Lin and a group of cultivators into the Seven Colored Realm but in reality, everyone was scheming against everyone else, especially Wang Lin because he seemed to be the weakest. In the Seven Colored Realm Wang Lin was able to trick Master Cloud Soul into a different spatial crack because he wanted to ensure that Master Cloud Soul would team up with Master Ashen Pin and scheme against him. As time went on, many cultivators of the group died and only Master Ashen Pine, Wang Lin and an Old woman in green was left. Wang Lin was able to steal some treasures from Master Ashen Pine and get away. Wang Lin was later able to kill Master Ashen Pine with the seven colored nail. Wang Lin later came across four cultivators from the outer realm, one of which he had met before when dealing with the Moongazer serpent. He killed all of them and was able to steal their essence. Wang Lin also later faced Dao Master Blue Dream and was able to destroy his palm, but Wang Lin was greatly injured.  Wang Lin went into closed door cultivation to comprehend his new spoils of war. When he came out of the Seven Colored Realm, he headed to the Wind Celestial Realm. There, he was able to acquire a large herd of mosquito beast and evolve his king mosquito beast further.

When he returned to the Cloud Sea Star system, he headed back to represent the Origin Sect in the ranking competition. He defeated everyone and killed those who disrespected Lu Yanfei. There, he also met Li Qian Mei and Mu Bingmei. After winning the rank 6 and 7 tournament, Wang Lin was about to represent the Everlasting Sect in the rank 8 tournament but the rank 9 God sect canceled it. It turns out that Daoist Water wanted to kill Wang Lin because he sensed an aura of his master, Lord of the Sealed Realm. During the initial battle of Daoist Water and Wang Lin, Daoist Water thought he would be killing an ant, but Wang Lin proved very hard to kill and pushed him to the edge. As Daoist Water was able to make the final killing strike, the spirit of Lord of the Sealed Realm appeared and severely inured Daoist Water, making him retreat. However, since Wang Lin used up all his energy and a forbidden spell, Wang Lin ended up petrified and turned into stone. When Li Qianmei showed up, she heard a voice telling her it is still possible to save Wang Lin by smearing her blood on his statue for 10 years. So for 10 years, that's what she did. The Ghost Sect was very unhappy she went missing for 10 years from the battlefield and ended up sending her deep into a spatial realm with powerful beasts. When Wang Lin woke up, he was furious and charged straight into the spatial crack where she was sent. After retreating her, they both escaped into the Outer Realm.

In the Outer Realm, he ran into Tuo Sen, however, this time, he wasn’t as helpless against Tuo Sen as he was back them. Due to Tuo Sen being injured, he was able to further injure Tuo Sen with the Ji Realm. Wang Lin returned Li Qianmei back to her father, Dao Master Blue Dream so that he could heal her. However, as a result of healing her, she lost most of her memories of Wang Lin. Dao Master Blue Dream then taught Wang Lin some spells that would help him due to returning his daughter back safely. After left, Wang Lin headed to the Scatter Thunder Clan in order to steal their lightening source. He was able to kill the Sect Head and obtain many thunder sources, greatly improving his thunder essence.
