Chapter 448 - Chapter 448: 145 Enter the Sea of Blood (2/2)

……

one month later, deep in the sea of blood.

above the sea of blood, a flying boat was hovering in place. beyond it lay the boundless blood mist.

standing at the front of the flying boat was a person.

this person was none other than lin jing.

since the day he parted ways with qi yuanshu and jian yunxiang, lin jing had been traveling alone, making his way toward the shores of the sea of blood.

on his journey, lin jing encountered several people.

there were even those who tried to attack him, but even though they were at the same golden core ninth layer, they were no match for lin jing.

in the blink of an eye, another lost soul was added under lin jing’s hand.

however, this was just a small interlude.

after arriving at the shores of the sea of blood, lin jing stayed for only a few days, observing some of the conditions surrounding the sea of blood.

afterward, he departed.

the shores of the sea of blood were indeed as jian yunxiang had said, constantly vigilant against unfamiliar cultivators who came from outside.

this was especially true for the puppet cultivators.

however, with his cultivation at the ninth layer of the golden core, lin jing made those people quite wary, and they did not act against him immediately.

and lin jing naturally would not provoke those people for no reason either.

after all, what he wanted most was to leave.

therefore, after staying at the shores of the sea of blood for only a few days, lin jing drove his flying boat across the entire sea of blood, reaching the edge of this blood mist.

gazing at the blood mist, lin jing’s brows knitted slightly, and then he reached out his hand into the mist.

instantly, lin jing felt as if something was draining the spiritual power from his body.

perhaps owing to the relative thinness of the blood mist, the rate at which it sapped his spiritual power was not very fast.

at this rate, to completely drain the spiritual power from his body would probably take several continuous hours.

after experiencing the potency of the blood mist, lin jing thought for a while and then put away the flying boat.

he planned to enter the blood mist to take a look.

the devouring spirit blood realm, aside from the sea’s bottom and this blood mist, had pretty much been explored everywhere by others.

there simply was no other way out.

at the sea’s bottom, there were corpses drifting with the waves—entering the sea of blood would be like walking into the jaws of death.

that left only the blood mist.

lin jing subsequently entered the blood mist, venturing deeper and deeper until the blood mist became so thick that he could barely withstand the rate at which it claimed his spiritual power…

at that point, lin jing summoned his system and directly entered the system space.

then in the system space, lin jing activated observation mode. as his perspective shifted, he entered an observation viewpoint within the blood mist.

without hesitation, lin jing controlled the observation viewpoint and delved deeper into the heart of the blood mist.

the deeper he went, the denser the blood mist became until eventually, he could see nothing at all.

however, lin jing did not stop; he continued to move forward.

in the end, even at the extreme range of observation mode, he still discovered nothing.

having no choice, lin jing had to return.

as he was unable to find anything within the blood mist.

lin jing then controlled the observation viewpoint to go downward, delving into the sea of blood.

this time, it was the same outcome.

the depth of the sea of blood was unfathomable, and with the distance that could be investigated by observation mode, it simply had no effect.

seeing that the investigation yielded no results, lin jing then exited observation mode and sat down to ponder in the system space.

previously, while at the shores of the sea of blood, he had heard some news through observation mode.

the devouring spirit blood realm was located within a special space, and there was only one place that connected to the outside world.

lin jing had thought to use the specialties of the system space to try to find the edges of the devouring spirit blood realm.

to see if he could cross the bound of the devouring spirit blood realm and return to the original world.

that’s why lin jing had thought of coming to the edge of the devouring spirit blood realm and use observation mode to seek a way out.

but in reality, lin jing was unable to find the walls of the devouring spirit blood realm, and naturally, he couldn’t leave.

in fact, while trapped within the devouring spirit blood realm, lin jing himself wasn’t in much danger.

should any danger arise, he could take shelter in the system space.

nevertheless, being trapped here indefinitely was not a solution.

therefore, lin jing sought to use this method to escape.

after pondering for a while, lin jing got up and then left the system space.

for the next period of time, lin jing planned to try again to see if there were any other ways to break free.

……

just like that.

lin jing stayed in the sea of blood for half a year.

during this half-year, lin jing appeared in various places within the sea of blood, continuously experimenting,

he even ventured into the blood mist in person for an investigation, but to no avail.

until one day, half a year later, as lin jing observed the moon above him one night, a sudden thought struck him…

ever since the first time he had observed the moon, lin jing had felt that the moon was like an eye, ceaselessly surveilling this world.

however.

it was precisely because the moon seemed like an eye that lin jing had not considered the possibility of an exit there.

after all, as long as he wasn’t exposed to the moonlight, he could remain unharmed, and so he naturally did not concern himself with the moon above.

not until now, when lin jing looked at the moon again in observation mode and a sudden thought occurred to him, he couldn’t help but think:

“could this moon possibly be the exit to the outside world…”
