Chapter 890 (1/2)

Chapter 890: Chapter 399: Venturing into the Barren Forbidden Zone Chapter 890: Chapter 399: Venturing into the Barren Forbidden Zone On this trip to the Nanming Domain, his most important purpose was, naturally, for the Samsara Holy Fruit.

After parting with the others, Lin Jing did not linger and flew directly toward the southern Barren Forbidden Zone of the Nanming Domain.

The road from Sea-Watch City to the Barren Forbidden Zone was one that Lin Jing and Shi Tianyou had traveled before.

Lin Jing wasn’t in such a hurry to rush along his way but observed the changes over the years instead.

It had been over a hundred years since Lin Jing and his companions had last traveled this path, and many changes had occurred during the hastily passing century, even along the road they once followed.

The Immortal Cities where the cultivators lived were still reasonably sound, but for various reasons, several of the mortal cities had either relocated or been destroyed, disappearing without a trace.

Watching the changes along the way unavoidably filled Lin Jing with some sentiment.

Soon, Lin Jing arrived at the largest Immortal City on this road, Tianxin City.

Steward Cheng had always been in Tianxin City, serving as the attendant at Tianxin City’s Yuebao Tower.

After arriving at Tianxin City, Lin Jing immediately spread his Divine Sense toward the Yuebao Tower in Tianxin City to see if he was still there.

However, after Lin Jing extended his Divine Sense, he didn’t find any trace of Steward Cheng; seeing that he wasn’t in Yuebao Tower, Lin Jing then dispersed his Divine Sense to envelop all of Tianxin City.

Unfortunately, he still did not find Steward Cheng.

It was possible that he had returned to Yiyun Pavilion or perhaps was transferred elsewhere, not in Tianxin City.

Since Steward Cheng was not there, Lin Jing decided not to stay in Tianxin City and promptly left the place.

After leaving Tianxin City, Lin Jing continued on and in a short while arrived at Mo City, near the edge of the Barren Forbidden Zone.

Upon reaching Mo City, Lin Jing immediately spread his Divine Sense to search for traces of old friends.

Under the power of Lin Jing’s formidable Divine Sense, everything in Mo City was visible to him.

In the center of Mo City, there was a notably large and extremely luxurious courtyard with ‘Yu Manor’ inscribed in gilded letters on the signboard above the main entrance.

Lin Jing merely swept his Divine Sense across and saw in the ancestral hall of Yu Manor, the highest placed spirit tablet.

Yu Yan, an old acquaintance Lin Jing made during his modest beginnings, had also passed away.

Without opportunity and lack of support from powerful backers, this was the outcome for most cultivators.

If not for the existence of System Space, Lin Jing might have shared the same fate.

While finding Yu Yan’s spirit tablet, Lin Jing’s Divine Sense also detected Yu Ling’s gravestone in a cemetery not far from Yu Manor.

Yu Ling, having no Spiritual Root, naturally could not cultivate; born into a cultivator family, but spirit rootless, she spent her life just like an ordinary mortal—marrying, having children, and briskly passing through her years.

Lin Jing did not show himself in Mo City, merely passing overhead; after scanning with his Divine Sense, he left Mo City.
