Chapter 688 (2/2)

Lin Jing needed to confirm his current position before deciding on his next move.

Should he head to the central region of the Metal Realm within the Five Elements and snatch the True Spirits and peerless treasures?

Or should he bypass this place and go directly to the next level?

Actually.

Lin Jing, possessing the Five Elements Spiritual Root, did not need to snatch True Spirits to advance to the Solidifying Body Realm, as he could cultivate them on his own.

Moreover, the True Spirits he cultivated would be more attuned to his body than those derived from nature.

It would also enable him to exert his strengths more effectively.

The only reason Lin Jing was here was for the Immortal Five Elements Technique.

But with Li Mingwu and Long Daoist present, if they did indeed encounter each other, Lin Jing could help the Yan Family’s ancestor compete for it.

Even Bai Yi could assist him.

At the very least, they must not allow Li Mingwu and Long Daoist to obtain it first.

According to the Yan Family’s ancestor, Li Mingwu was just missing one True Spirit to collect all the Five Elements True Spirits and advance to the Solidifying Body Realm.

As for which one he lacked, even the Yan Family’s ancestor did not know.

But if Li Mingwu managed to get that True Spirit, then he could directly use it to advance to the Solidifying Body Realm.

……

Packing away the map, Lin Jing rose into the sky and flew toward the distance.

In the Metal Realm of the Five Elements, the Spiritual Energy was imbalanced.

The Metallic Attribute Spiritual Energy was overwhelmingly rich, while the energies of the other attributes were sparse, barely amounting to even one-tenth of the metal energy when combined.

The abundance of metallic energy in this place made it uncomfortable for Lin Jing, who cultivated the Five Elements Cultivation Technique.

After all.

Outside, even in the Demonic Monster Sea, the Five Elements were balanced.

Lin Jing had never before encountered a special region dominated by one type of energy.

For Lin Jing, the optimal way to absorb Spiritual Energy was a balanced distribution of the Five Elements, so absorbing energy in a place filled with metallic energy was extremely difficult for him.

This place was a paradise for those cultivating metallic attribute techniques, and their spells would greatly increase in power here.

But for cultivators of other attributes, it was extremely uncomfortable.

Luckily, the Immortal Five Elements Technique was exceptionally unique, allowing Lin Jing to absorb energy even in a place filled only with metallic Spiritual Energy.

He only needed to transform it using the Immortal Five Elements Technique after absorbing it.

Though effortful, it was still much better than for the others.

If he really found it bothersome, Lin Jing could also enter the System Space.

After all, the System Space was not affected by the rules of this world.

……

As he flew, Lin Jing quietly noted the terrain he passed.

Without knowing his location, Lin Jing had no choice but to memorize the terrain and compare it with the map to determine where he was.

After flying for most of the day, Lin Jing matched the terrain with the map and determined his location.

This place was on the eastern edge of the Metal Realm of the Five Elements.

To leave this realm, he had to cross the entire Metal Realm to reach the far west.

Because the exit from this realm was located in that extreme western land.

After confirming this, Lin Jing was rather speechless; his luck was truly terrible to be transported to the farthest spot from the exit.

Being sent to any other place would have been better; he wouldn’t have had to cross the entire Metal Realm.

But what’s done is done.

There was no other way, so he could only continue flying westward.

And so, Lin Jing continued his journey westward.

The Metal Realm of the Five Elements was incredibly monotonous, with only the black metallic earth and the flickering gold and silver lights shining from the ground.

Nothing else.

However, the closer to the central region, the more numerous the gold and silver flickering lights became.

But other than that, there were no changes.

As time went by, Lin Jing, while flying forward, suddenly felt a sense of alarm, as if danger was approaching.

After sensing danger, Lin Jing immediately stopped.

He quickly expanded his Divine Sense, careful to defend himself.

Since his Divine Sense was suppressed, even when expanded, the range it covered was limited.

Lin Jing had to keep sweeping his surroundings vigilantly.

However, after scanning the area, Lin Jing did not detect anything amiss.

And the sudden sensation of danger he had felt disappeared just as quickly.

But just as Lin Jing was puzzled…

Suddenly.

A flash of silver-white light streaked by.

The silver-white light, hidden in the air with no energy emanating from it, was difficult to detect without close observation.

It was only because this silver-white light entered the range of Lin Jing’s Divine Sense that he became aware of it.

The light moved so fast that by the time Lin Jing reacted, it was already in front of him.

Fortunately, Lin Jing reacted swiftly; by the time the silver-white light entered his Divine Sense range, there was no time to cast a spell.

Lin Jing made a split-second decision and threw a punch directly.

This punch, carrying peerless might, distorted the space in front of Lin Jing.

However, the silver light seemed to detect the strength of Lin Jing’s punch and attempted to flee.

Yet.

Under Lin Jing’s punch, escape was simply not an option…
