Chapter 780 (2/2)

Lin Jing did this because he wanted to see the situation on the island before proceeding there.

Indeed, if he used Divine Sense, the exploration of Liyun Island’s situation would have been faster.

However, this place is Liyun Island in the Inner Sea, where the cultivators generally have high cultivation levels.

Moreover, this is right on Liyun Island.

The cultivators on the island, I presume, are all extraordinary.

Just as in Ninghai City, when Lin Jing was in Ninghai City, he had encountered several cultivators in the Dao Integration stage.

This Liyun Island surely also has many in Dao Integration, as well as Tribulation cultivators, and even the presence of Mahayana cultivators is a possibility.

If he recklessly used Divine Sense, it would likely be detected by those Dao Integration and higher stage cultivators.

Using Divine Sense without discretion could easily offend them.

If he offended them, encountering cultivators with good temper might, at most, teach him a lesson and let it be.

If he encountered those with poor temper, it was even possible that he might lose his life.

However, using Observation Mode did not have this concern.

In Observation Mode, even Mahayana cultivators could not detect Lin Jing’s probing.

…

Lin Jing controlled the observation perspective, began to survey Liyun Island, and at the same time, kept an eye out for news about the Changyun Clan.

Under the observation perspective, one could say it was unrestrictive, with no place able to block the penetration of the observation perspective.

Naturally, Lin Jing wouldn’t conduct his exploration in a straightforward manner from the outside.

Sometimes, Lin Jing would even probe inside some buildings.

Such as the Changyun Pill Pavilion of the Changyun Clan—it was a particular focus of Lin Jing’s attention, and after continuous probing for quite some time, Lin Jing still didn’t get any of the information he wanted.

Just as Lin Jing was about to give up his inquiry and prepare to directly enter Liyun Island.

While passing over Liyun City on Liyun Island, Lin Jing suddenly froze.

Because, on the streets below.

Lin Jing saw a person, someone who looked exactly like himself.

Seeing this person, Lin Jing couldn’t help but be stunned.

Could there actually be someone else who looked exactly like him?

Filled with suspicion, Lin Jing then unconsciously controlled the observation perspective to get closer, carefully observing.

Although the observation perspective lacked some of the fine uses of Divine Sense, within Observation Mode, one could still see much more detail.

After Lin Jing’s careful observation, he then discovered.

This person, though broadly similar to himself, actually had some differences from him.

Looking at this exceedingly similar person, Lin Jing couldn’t help but think of someone…

Subsequently.

Lin Jing directly controlled Observation Mode, following this person who was extremely similar to himself.

Wanting to see where this person was ultimately going.

Under Lin Jing’s observation, this person in Liyun City seemed to be idling around, wandering aimlessly.

Not until he had walked through almost the entire Liyun City did this person enter a small alley.

Once in the alley, this person marched straight ahead until nearly reaching the end of the alley and then stopped.

Then, the person took out a jade token from his hand.

Next, he affixed the jade token to one of the walls.

After the jade token was placed against it, a light screen silently appeared on the wall.

Afterward.

The person stored away the jade token and stepped directly into the wall.

This place turned out to be a formation.

Seeing this, Lin Jing hurriedly controlled the observation perspective to pass through the wall and followed inside.

When Lin Jing’s observation perspective passed through the formation and inside the wall, the scene before his eyes immediately underwent a huge change.

Unexpectedly, behind this wall turned out to be a deeply hidden courtyard.

The person who looked extremely like him also immediately relaxed upon entering this courtyard.

Afterward.

The figure of the person rapidly transformed, and soon, the person who looked extremely similar to him changed into another appearance.

Furthermore.

This newly transformed appearance was also very familiar to Lin Jing.

Seeing this appearance, even while in Observation Mode, Lin Jing couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.

It turned out this person was none other than Yan Wanfei, the master of transformation techniques…
