Chapter 512: Chapter 205: Entering the Main Hall, Obtaining the Jade Slip (2-in-1 Part 2)
Lin Jing, during this investigation, did indeed obtain some useful information.
At the very least, Lin Jing now knew that the disturbance affected only those whose cultivation was below the Divinity Transformation Stage; anyone with a lower cultivation level could not sense it.
If Lin Jing had left immediately after probing the Island Master of True Dragon Island, he might have been misled and made the wrong choices.
Fortunately, Lin Jing was prudent and decided to probe Li Mingwu once more.
Now, Lin Jing knew exactly what to say once the black fog dispersed.
Lin Jing stayed with Li Mingwu for a while, until Li Mingwu began to sit in meditation. Realizing he would not gain any more useful information, Lin Jing left using the Observation Mode.
After leaving the proximity of the Formation Eye where Li Mingwu was, Lin Jing did not hesitate and immediately probed towards the final Five Elements main hall.
The Five Elements main hall was located right behind the plaza, very close to where everyone was.
Thus, within just two breaths, Lin Jing controlled the observational viewpoint and arrived at the Five Elements main hall.
The main hall of the Five Elements was very spacious, with eight pillars thick enough to require three men to encircle, supporting the entire structure.
In the very center of the hall stood a lifelike statue of an elder with his hands crossed over his chest.
The visage was quite kind and benevolent, resembling an elderly man who seemed extremely protective of his juniors.
Moreover, the clothing on the statue was very plain and seemed to belong to an era long past, not to the current one.
Besides this statue, there were three podiums in front of it.
These three podiums were not much different from those Lin Jing had seen in the other two annex halls.
However, unlike the annex halls, on top of these podiums in the main hall were three Jade Slips.
The Formation protecting these three podiums emitted a five-colored radiance as well.
After reviewing the front, Lin Jing then controlled the observational viewpoint to probe behind the statue.
He saw that behind the statue was a Formation several meters in diameter.
This Formation, shaped like a five-pointed star, had a small Formation Eye at each direction, and those Formation Eyes were shaped exactly like the Five Elements Command Token.
Furthermore.
This Formation also appeared very ancient, out of place with the rest of the hall, as if the hall was built later solely to protect this Formation.
It seems that this Formation might be the Teleportation Array leading to the Five Elements relic.
After observing the entire hall, Lin Jing found that, apart from the Formation at the podium, there was nothing unusual, likely just like in the other two annex halls, with no danger present.
Having assured there was no danger, Lin Jing exited Observation Mode and once again used Fixed Point Teleportation to teleport into the main hall of the Five Elements Cave Mansion.
Upon arriving inside the hall, Lin Jing walked directly towards the podium. The Formation at this podium, with its five-colored lights flowing, seemed even more difficult to decipher than the one in the Wood Hall.
Lin Jing circled around the entire podium, and upon returning to the front of it, his brow furrowed involuntarily.
He didn’t dare to recklessly try this podium yet.
The wild surge of wood-attributed Spiritual Power he encountered earlier at the Wood Hall podium had already injured him.
Now, the podium inside this main hall could be even more dangerous, and if he wasn’t careful, he might get severely injured or even die.
After observing the Formation at the podium for a long time, Lin Jing couldn’t find a solution for the moment.
Afterward, Lin Jing lifted his head and took a long breath.
Then he began to ponder with a frown.
It was at this moment, as Lin Jing’s gaze met the crossed hands of the statue, that he noticed something within the crossed hands emitting a glow.
Next, Lin Jing took a step forward and approached the statue.
The statue was several meters tall, with the crossed hands alone over half a meter high.
Lin Jing came in front of the statue’s chest and looked into its hands.
There, he saw a multi-colored Formation only a few inches big, and within the Formation was a Treasure Orb emitting five-colored light.
The light Lin Jing had seen was radiating from the Treasure Orb, and through the glow, he could see two lines of small characters engraved on the statue’s fingers by the Formation.
“The treasures on the stone platform below are left for the inheritors of the Five Elements. They can only be accessed with the ‘Immortal Five Elements Technique’ in combination with the Five Elements Treasure Orb. To break the Formation of the Treasure Orb, only the ‘Immortal Five Elements Technique’ is effective; any other Cultivation Technique will be ineffective.”
