…

Time flew by like a white steed flashing past a crevice.

Because there were no seasons within the Five Elements Territory, time seemed to have paused here, making it hard for one to sense its passing.

Only the gradually diminishing Five Elements Spiritual Power within the Five Elements Territory could let one realize that time was indeed trickling away.

A long time passed once again, and the Five Elements Spiritual Power within the Five Elements Territory gradually depleted, losing its former splendor, and the entire Five Elements Territory fell into a dead silence.

Only in the palm of the Five Elements Ancestor was there a slight fluctuation of spiritual power.

At this moment.

In the small courtyard at the center of the statue’s palm, Lin Jing was sitting cross-legged.

In his hand was a Golden Core, covered in cracks and devoid of any color.

This Golden Core was precisely the one the spiritual mind of the Five Elements Ancestor had given to Lin Jing.

However, all the cultivation within the Golden Core had been absorbed by Lin Jing, causing the entire core to become filled with cracks.

Just then, a slight “crack” sound came from the Golden Core, followed by a spread of cracks.

Soon…

The sound kept spreading, and the entire Golden Core completely shattered into several pieces.

After the Golden Core shattered, in less than a breath’s time, it turned into powder and then vanished.

A long time passed after the Golden Core disappeared before Lin Jing slowly opened his eyes.

After opening his eyes, Lin Jing looked down at his palm, where there was nothing left.

Lin Jing then couldn’t help but shake his head and sighed,

“Sigh…!”

“Even after absorbing all the spiritual power of the Five Elements Territory and the cultivation from the Golden Core, I still failed to advance to the Dao Integration Stage.”

Actually, the cultivation left by the Five Elements Ancestor in the Five Elements Golden Core, as well as the spiritual power of the entire Five Elements Territory, were not small in amount.

After absorbing either one, Lin Jing’s cultivation would have significantly increased.

However, while cultivating the Immortal Five Elements Technique, Lin Jing was also using spiritual power to cultivate the Overlord Divine Physique, pushing his Body Refinement cultivation upwards, which naturally required much more spiritual power than others.

Therefore…

Even after Lin Jing had refined all the cultivation within the Five Elements Golden Core and absorbed all the Five Elements Spiritual Power of the territory, he only managed to break through to the pinnacle of the Solidifying Body Realm.

Actually, Lin Jing also entertained the thought of giving up cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique and abandoning the enhancement of his Body Refinement cultivation.

Because cultivating just the Immortal Five Elements Technique would have been sufficient, and cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique while being a Body Refinement Cultivator seemed somewhat redundant.

The main reason was that in order to cultivate the Overlord Divine Physique, one had to re-cultivate the realms one had already achieved once over.

The amount of spiritual power expended was also twice that of others.

However.

After a bit of thought, Lin Jing dismissed this idea.

The current Lin Jing, whose Spiritual Root had reached that of the Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root, did not lag behind other genius cultivators in terms of cultivation speed.

Additionally, he had System Space, an against-the-heaven tool, where the flow of time was multiplied.

Lin Jing did not need to worry about his cultivation speed being too slow due to the Body Refining techniques, with System Space having his back, these were no problems at all.

Another point was during the tribulation.

Every time Lin Jing faced a Heavenly Tribulation, it seemed stronger than what others faced.

The ability of Lin Jing to successfully survive every tribulation was significantly due to the Overlord Divine Physique.

Cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique allowed Lin Jing’s body to absorb the Tribulation Lightning, reducing the damage he sustained during the tribulation.

And this time during the tribulation, one of the reasons Lin Jing appeared to suffer little damage was because of his cultivation of the Overlord Divine Physique.

Another was due to the abundant Five Elements Spiritual Power in the Five Elements Territory, which Lin Jing could use at any time to repair his wounded body.

Therefore, this tribulation was passed by Lin Jing with more shock than harm, safely overcoming it.

Had he not cultivated the Overlord Divine Physique, Lin Jing might not have been able to heal his body proactively before being turned to ash by the devastating Heavenly Lightning.

So, the Overlord Divine Physique should not be abandoned but continued to be cultivated.

Moreover, by cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique, he became a Body Refinement Cultivator, thereby gaining another method to combat foes, so why not embrace it?

…

After sighing, Lin Jing stood up.
