Stealing Heaven was utterly dejected.
For the past twenty years, he had been tirelessly recovering his Origin and studying the Sky Gazing Disk.
Finally, his persistence paid off. In twenty years, his Origin had recovered by 20%, and he had almost completely unraveled the mysteries of the Sky Gazing Disk.
The Sky Gazing Disk's artifact spirit had also been fully activated, and with its assistance, the Sky Gazing Disk's power had increased dramatically.
He had emerged from seclusion half an hour ago, and as soon as he did, he eagerly sought out Ye Lin.
However, without a token, he couldn't enter Ye Lin's residence at all, nor did he know anything about the situation inside Ye Lin's residence.
Thus, he still thought Ye Lin was in seclusion. Foolishly, he stood outside Ye Lin's residence and shouted for a full half an hour, but there was no movement from within Ye Lin's residence.
This made him very upset. Even in seclusion, a person in seclusion would notice the slightest disturbance from the outside world.
After all, being in seclusion wasn't the same as being dead.
"Has Ye Lin already come out of seclusion? No, that's not right. Doesn't he still need the stone tablet? If he came out of seclusion, why wouldn't he look for me? Does he not want the stone tablet anymore? Or did Ye Lin simply not intend to bother with me? Strange."
Stealing Heaven looked at Ye Lin's residence before him, then shook his head and walked to the side.
Finding a deserted spot, Stealing Heaven squatted down and took out the Sky Gazing Disk from his embrace.
"Artifact spirit, assist me."
As Stealing Heaven finished speaking, the Sky Gazing Disk began to operate at full power, and wisps of Karma power began to entwine around Stealing Heaven's body.
If an ordinary Cultivator were to see such terrifying Karma power, they would probably be scared into immediate reincarnation.
But Stealing Heaven was unperturbed. Their Tianji Tower lineage was born to bear Karma; they possessed a secret technique that allowed them to Cultivate using Karma.
After all, if you calculate the fortunes of others, especially Cultivators, you are bound to bear Karma.
"Oh? Interesting. So Ye Lin has already Broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and he left some time ago."
After calculating, Stealing Heaven finally understood.
Then, just as he was about to put away the Sky Gazing Disk, his hand suddenly felt heavy.
"Ye Lin actually has a killing tribulation? Let me see, let me see."
Stealing Heaven's expression instantly grew excited, and the speed at which he formed hand seals gradually increased.
His hand movements were so fast that they became mere afterimages.
The next moment, a scene appeared before Stealing Heaven's eyes.
In the scene, there was an extremely magnificent grand hall, and in the hall stood three figures.
"Ye Lin is now at the peak of his power, and it seems someone is secretly building momentum for him. His reputation has soared within Nameless Mountain, and he has also Broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Don't you feel any sense of urgency?"
"You all know Ye Lin's combat strength. I suspect he definitely has a True Monarch backing him. Everything, absolutely everything, points directly to that position."
"Once his reputation is completely solidified in a few days, he will probably immediately challenge the Ten Sequences. With Ye Lin's strength, can you resist him?"
"Once he becomes one of the Ten Sequences, then the position we have painstakingly competed for will be a joke."
Wang Teng, one of the Ten Sequences, looked at the two young men before him and said coldly.
During this period, Ye Lin seemed to have divine assistance. First, he Broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, then he annihilated the Xuan Yin Sect, and he also seemed to have appeared in Ascension Prefecture.
All signs pointed directly to that coveted position.
After the battle at the Heavenly Palace, he had a rather profound understanding of Ye Lin's combat strength: he couldn't defeat him.
