chapter 449: chapter 146: withered old man

thinking about this, lin jing pondered over everything an entrant to the devouring spirit blood realm encountered, growing increasingly certain of his idea.

previously.

the robed elder had enumerated several rules, one of which was not to stare at the moon or let its light shine upon oneself.

and lin jing, while in observation mode, saw the real moon, which indeed resembled an eye.

could that mean the moon was actually the eye of the divinity transformation cultivator, observing the devouring spirit blood realm every night?

and the moonlight could be where his gaze fell, sweeping over the area.

such an explanation seemed quite reasonable.

even if it wasn’t the cultivator himself, it had to be a magical treasure with a similar function.

the more lin jing thought about it, the more plausible it became.

thus, he planned to try to investigate the moon in the sky next.

before investigating the moon, lin jing needed to observe carefully.

during the day, the sky was obscured by blood-colored clouds, completely obstructing the view; only at night did the moon disperse the thick clouds and shine its light down.

hence, lin jing had to first determine the moon’s position in the sky and make preparations during the day.

then at night, when the moon appeared, he would proceed with his investigation.

no sooner said than done, lin jing spent the next days hiding in the system space, observing the moon daily.

after just two days, he noticed that the moon’s appearance was not fixed.

after a few more days of observation, lin jing began to discern a pattern to the moon’s appearances, though it was still unclear.

thus, after two months of observation, lin jing finally understood the moon’s regular pattern.

once he had grasped the pattern, lin jing began to take action.

one day, he arrived in the vicinity of where the moon would appear, ahead of time during the daylight.

there, lin jing entered the system space and waited inside for the night to fall.

……

inside the system space, lin jing was anything but idle.

since the system space did not abound in spiritual power like the outside world, he did not hesitate to cultivate unlike others.

after all, without spiritual energy in the outside world, they would need to use spirit stones if they wanted to cultivate.

but what are spirit stones?

in the devouring spirit blood realm, they could save one’s life; who would waste them so?

therefore, cultivators who entered the devouring spirit blood realm generally ceased their cultivation.

they saved their spirit stones for emergencies.

but lin jing was different; he did not pass up any chance to cultivate here.

having entered the devouring spirit blood realm for over half a year now,

lin jing’s cultivation had increased considerably.

besides cultivating, lin jing also occasionally refined some elixir medicine.

of course, the ingredients he used for these medicines were what lin jing had stored up previously.

the only difficulty lin jing faced now in the devouring spirit blood realm was the absence of a supply of alchemy ingredients.

even though the system space had a spirit field, it was too small to grow sufficient spirit plants for his needs.

……

soon, lin jing finished meditating and, judging by the time, it was almost when the moon would appear.

consequently, lin jing summoned the system and then said,

“system, enter observation mode.”

following that, lin jing’s view shifted outside.

at the time, the moon in the sky was very close to him.

and it was especially bright.

the light emanating from the moon, like sunlight filtering through clouds, bathed the lands of the devouring spirit blood realm.

before, lin jing had thought this might be a small world; but now it seemed to be not the case at all.

this space had nothing in it; even the moon was fake.

now, with lin jing so close to the moon, he could see everything clearly.

the moon was a sham, and now that he was closer, lin jing realized that although it appeared like a human eye,

it actually was not.

it must be a magical treasure made in imitation of a human eye.

no…

it could be an artifact or a treasure.

only that could possibly monitor the entire devouring spirit blood realm.

but now was not the moment for these concerns; lin jing still had to use observation mode to probe the moon.

subsequently,

lin jing controlled the viewpoint of observation mode to delve unimpeded into the moon…

upon entering the interior, lin jing found the structure inside the moon astonishingly intricate.

it resembled a mechanical space.

moreover, within the moon lay countless formation arrays of varying sizes, arranged in a specific pattern.

the scene inside left lin jing in awe.

he wondered what kind of artifact refiner could have created such a moon to monitor the entire devouring spirit blood realm.

it was even possible that it was not the creation of a single artifact refiner.
