Chapter 631 (1/2)
Chapter 631: Chapter 267: Mahayana Cultivator Chapter 631: Chapter 267: Mahayana Cultivator Lin Jing nodded and said,
“That seems good…”
“Then I’ll take one more look…”
Having said that, Lin Jing looked towards Shi San:
“Let’s go then…”
Shi San nodded his head, and then strode forward.
And Lin Jing followed leisurely behind Shi San.
……
Sea-Watch City was in the northern part of Nanming Domain, close to the Demonic Monster Sea, while Mo City was situated at the southernmost part of Nanming Domain, near the Barren Forbidden Zone.
The distance between the two cities was by no means short.
It took Lin Jing and Shi San almost half a year to travel from Sea-Watch City back to Mo City.
After arriving in Mo City, by making just a few inquiries, they quickly learned news about the Yu Family.
Because of Yu Yan’s presence, the Yu Family had become the leading cultivator family in Mo City, not difficult to find.
Shi San also finally got his wish to see Yu Ling.

To cultivators, nine years might not seem much, but to ordinary people, it could be described as an era having passed.
The current Yu Ling was no longer that young girl.
Instead, she had married into another cultivator family.
She and a young master from that family, who also lacked a Spiritual Root, had become husband and wife.
Given the Yu Family’s extraordinary status in Mo City, Yu Ling was not mistreated after her marriage.
Moreover, her husband was a decent man.
Though their marriage was an alliance between families and perhaps they were not deeply in love,
they treated each other with respect and led a happy life.
After Shi San arrived, he did not announce himself but simply glanced at her from afar, not wishing to disturb her present life.
Maybe it was as Shi San had said from the beginning, that they were never people from the same world.
After seeing Yu Ling, Shi San and Lin Jing went back to Yunling Town together.
Upon returning to Yunling Town, they visited the mountain outside the town, where Shi San’s home was located.
After being away for nearly a decade, Shi San seemed to have a lot of feelings upon his return.
He stood in front of the courtyard, lost in thought for a long while…
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, filling the entire space.
The walls were mottled in the middle of the yard, showing the traces of time…
Even the roof was home to a few hardy wild grasses, swaying in the wind.
This was clearly the result of a long absence, suggesting that Shi San’s grandfather hadn’t returned for quite some time either…
After snapping out of it, Shi San walked into the yard, approached the house, and pushed the door open.
Ten years of absence, and dust rose as soon as the door opened.
Shi San entered the house, made a round inside, then came out, picked up the broom that had fallen by the wall, and went back into the house…
Lin Jing, on the other hand, turned his attention to the overgrown weeds in the yard and walked towards them…
…
…
After the two had cleaned the house, it was nearly afternoon.
However, at this time, Shi San was overcome with drowsiness.
He barely made it to the bed before he could no longer resist sleep and immediately fell into a deep slumber.
Shi San had fallen asleep suddenly, now sprawled on the bed.
Lin Jing went over, positioned Shi San comfortably, and then covered him with a blanket he had prepared earlier, before walking out.
In recent times, Shi San’s physical condition had worsened.
Although he seemed fine on a day-to-day basis, his sleepiness had become more and more serious.
Now, Shi San needed to sleep for at least eight hours a day.
The remainder was the only time he was truly awake.
Now, there were only three months left until the deadline agreed upon with Shi San’s grandfather.
Lin Jing decided not to leave anymore and would wait here for Shi San’s grandfather to return…
……
Seeing that Shi San was sleeping soundly, Lin Jing then left the house and went into the courtyard.
Lin Jing stood in the center, looking off into the distance.
At the same time, Lin Jing’s Divine Sense had already reached out, probing into his own body.
During these nearly ten years of travel, even though Lin Jing had not actively cultivated, his cultivation had still steadily reached the Nascent Soul Peak Stage.
And inside Lin Jing’s Nascent Soul, most of the Demonic Qi from the Demon Infant had already been dissipated.
Previously, Shi San’s grandfather had restrained the Demon Infant, and Lin Jing didn’t even need to suppress it – the Demon Infant was unable to absorb any more Demonic Qi.
Even though he hadn’t actively refined it, the Demonic Qi within the Demon Infant was constantly eroding on its own.
Lin Jing’s Divine Sense penetrated into his Dantian, sensing the faint traces of Demonic Qi in the Demon Infant.
The entire Demon Infant had also changed considerably, its previously blood-red color almost transparent now.
Through the exterior of the Demon Infant, Lin Jing could even see the scant Demonic Qi remaining inside.
Once the Demonic Qi was completely gone, the Demon Infant would turn into pure cultivation, ready for Lin Jing’s use.
At that time, Lin Jing’s cultivation would surge, and in a very short period, he would enter the sixth layer of the Divinity Transformation.
…
…
Besides the advancement of his cultivation…
During this time, Lin Jing had sealed his own cultivation, taking on the mortal form to understand Dao in worldly life, which greatly enhanced his comprehension of the heavenly Dao.
Lin Jing felt an epiphany, touching upon the edge of Divinity Transformation.
Although the feeling was somewhat hazy, he firmly believed that it wouldn’t be long before he could enter the Divinity Transformation Stage.
For now, the wait was for Shi San’s grandfather to return.
After his return, Lin Jing would hand over Shi San to him, and then find a place to undergo his final retreat.
When he came out of seclusion, it would be time for him to undertake the Tribulation and enter the Divinity Transformation Stage…
……
The three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Jing and Shi San had been waiting here for three months.
Over the three months, Shi San’s drowsiness had become even more severe.
Currently, he was awake for less than half an hour each day.
Most of the time, he lay on the bed, sound asleep.
These three months had gone by, and the time agreed upon with Shi San’s grandfather had passed.
Yet, Shi San’s grandfather had not returned.
Lin Jing couldn’t help frowning…
