Chapter 524: Chapter 210: 20 Years, Back to Nanming Domain_2
“`
Even with Lin Jing’s current level of cultivation, he was still far from being a match for Li Mingwu and naturally could not allow Li Mingwu to recover now.
Besides Li Mingwu, there was also the matter of the Thousand Islands Domain.
Since the last time they emerged from the Five Elements Cave Mansion, the island masters of the three big islands, in order to prevent Li Mingwu’s counterattack, had initiated strict surveillance within the range of the Thousand Islands Domain.
They even launched a public opinion campaign to unite all the external maritime forces, which was aimed at forcing Li Mingwu to show himself.
However, what they did was futile, and Li Mingwu never appeared.
It was not until the bounty list in the Seven Seas Hall mentioned the Pure Revival Elixir that the three island masters realized that Li Mingwu hadn’t acquired the healing Elixir Medicine within the Wood Hall.
Nobody had any clear idea about the whereabouts of the treasures from the Wood Hall.
Even Bai Yi had once sought out Lin Jing to inquire about this matter, but Lin Jing had deflected the conversation.
Bai Yi did so not out of suspicion towards Lin Jing but to probe for other information.
He didn’t believe that Lin Jing had the capability to obtain the treasures of the Wood Hall right under everyone’s noses.
…
During the time Lin Jing was in seclusion, the Cross-realm Transmission Formation leading to the Nanming Domain, set up by the Western Demon Region, was already completed.
It took a total of ten years to construct the entire Teleportation Array.
Once the Transmission Formation was completed, the Western Demon Region immediately sent two Body Condensation Cultivators to the Nanming Domain to support the formation.
With the help of the Body Condensation Cultivators, the Howling Sky Wolf Clan was continuously defeated in the Nanming Domain and in less than two years, they were expelled from the Nanming Domain and all driven back into the Demon Race Secret Realm.
However, since the resources within the Demon Race Secret Realm were rich, the Howling Sky Wolf Clan did not want to withdraw easily.
Thus, the Demon Race Secret Realm has now become a battlefield between the cultivators of the Nanming Domain and the Wolf Tribe of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan.
To defend the Demon Race Secret Realm, the Howling Sky Wolf Clan had also dispatched their own Body Condensation Cultivators to confront the two that the Western Demon Region had sent.
Because the strength of both sides was relatively equal, they were at a stalemate, and neither side could do anything about the other, leading to a continued standoff until now.
Since the Howling Sky Wolf Clan was driven back from the Nanming Domain, many wandering cultivators from the Nanming Domain became restless.
They went back to the Nanming Domain one after another.
Naturally, Li Qingqing wanted to return to the Nanming Domain. When she had to evacuate, many of the Li Family had died in battle, but a portion of them had gotten separated during the escape.
Upon learning that the Nanming Domain was restored, Li Qingqing wanted to return to rebuild the Li Family.
Therefore, eight years ago, Li Qingqing bid farewell to Lin Jing and left Li Yan Island to return to Nanshan Immortal City in the Nanming Domain.
As for Lin Jing, he had remained in seclusion and thus, did not go back with her.
In addition, there was Li Tangyu.
Fifteen years earlier, Li Tangyu successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage and together with the seventh disciple of the Demon Lord Wanmo, had resolved the situation with the Yin Business Demon Lord.
Upon the death of the Yin Business Demon Lord, the Demon Lord Wanmo showed no further reaction, instead, he accepted Li Tangyu as his new disciple.
From then on, Li Tangyu was the seventh disciple of the Demon Lord Wanmo, and the previous seventh disciple took over the position of the Yin Business Demon Lord, becoming the fifth disciple.
Before she left, Li Qingqing had also looked for Li Tangyu, but now that he was the seventh disciple of the Demon Lord Wanmo, he had many uncontrollable matters and did not want to involve Li Qingqing, so he also stayed behind.
In the end,
Li Qingqing was very disillusioned and could only leave alone.
…
On this day, Lin Jing finished his seclusion and opened his eyes.
Over the years, Lin Jing had been delving into those Cultivation Insights, but even now, he still had no clue.
Advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage and the improvement of cultivation were secondary. Only by understanding one’s own path and discerning one’s own way of cultivation could one take this step.
Yet this very step had stymied many talented cultivators with outstanding aptitude, who found themselves stuck here for life, unable to make any progress.
Although Lin Jing was still some time away from Divinity Transformation, pondering upon it was already overdue.
Many people start contemplating their own path shortly after entering the Nascent Soul Stage.
However, after these twenty years of seclusion, Lin Jing’s understanding of ‘the Path’ was still rather vague, as if something nebulous was obstructing him in some way.
Lin Jing looked up, gazing out the Alchemy Room at the lush verdure swaying in the wind, and thought to himself,
“Perhaps, it’s time for me to go out and walk around…”
However,
before leaving, there was one more thing Lin Jing had to do.
Subsequently, Lin Jing spoke up, summoning the System Space, and then said,
“Open the system panel!”
As Lin Jing’s words fell, a vision of the system panel appeared before his eyes.
