Chapter 442 - Chapter 442: Chapter 139 Qi Yuanshu and the Peculiar Cultivator (1/2)
chapter 442: chapter 139 qi yuanshu and the peculiar cultivator
after not waiting much longer, the group finally deliberated to a conclusion.
the outcome of the deliberation was that everyone would temporarily separate, searching for a way out of this place, or something like a teleportation array.
if anyone encountered any situation, they would immediately signal each other to notify the rest.
only by doing this, would the chances of the group leaving this place be greater.
after the deliberation, they also asked for the opinions of those who hadn’t joined in, including lin jing.
to this, lin jing naturally had no objections
the rest of the others felt the same, indicating that there were no problems.
seeing that no one had any objections, the people began to scatter, each choosing a direction to leave.
and lin jing also chose a direction, and left directly…
……
in this unknown place, the sky was red, the ground was red, even the mountains and rocks were all red…
the sky was obscured by a thick layer of red fog, with no sun visible, while the ground’s soil emitted a stench of blood.
it’s as if the entire world had been dyed red with fresh blood.
after separating from the group, lin jing did not fly with his sword like the others.
instead, after leaving, he went on foot towards one of the directions.
with no spiritual energy in this place, walking would save a lot of spiritual power.
otherwise, running out of spiritual power would be quite dangerous.
of course, lin jing naturally did not need to worry about running out of spiritual power.
because he still had the system space.
while walking on the road, lin jing specifically tested the system space and found that there were no problems with it, and he could enter it at any time.
knowing that the system space was unaffected, lin jing was somewhat relieved.
as long as there were no issues with the system space, lin jing had nothing to worry about, for he could enter the system space to replenish his spiritual power whenever it was depleted.
lin jing chose to walk because he wanted to see if he could find some clues in this way.
moreover, besides practising spells, lin jing was also a body refinement cultivator, and as such, his walking speed was not slow.
lin jing reached the plain and looked at the ground beneath his feet, then extended his divine sense downwards into the plain.
within this blood-red soil, lin jing’s divine sense met with great resistance.
even though his divine sense was now equivalent to that of an early-stage nascent soul, he could only probe a few hundred meters deep before he could go no further.
and this few hundred meters of soil was still a deep red, with no changes whatsoever.
lin jing’s brows furrowed involuntarily.
it seems that this red color shouldn’t be the blood of cultivators or demonic beasts; if it were blood, it couldn’t possibly seep this deep.
this place resembled a kind of barrier or a special small world, where the blood that dyed the entire world red was a unique element of that barrier or small world…
afterward.
lin jing continued on, after a long journey.
crossing the crimson plain which also emitted a stench of blood, he finally came to a riverbank.
the water in the river was also red like fresh blood.
and from that blood, there emitted waves of stench.
it was as if what was tumbling in the river was that stinking blood.
on this riverbank, lin kai finally saw colors other than red.
it was a shiny black, just like black crystal-like stones.
these black stones were mixed among the red ones, paving the beach.
lin jing stepped forward and picked up one of the black stones.
the black stone was cool to the touch, but it seemed just like a real stone, apparently with nothing special about it.
then, lin jing looked up at the river in front of him, and stimulated his divine sense to probe into it.
inside the river, there was nothing but red blood water, reminiscent of fresh blood.
then, lin jing summoned the ling yin flawless sword and flew directly over the river.
after crossing the river, there was still a plain…
this time, lin jing didn’t choose to walk but flew directly over the plain.
having previously crossed the plain, lin jing had already checked; this land had no living beings…
not even a single tree.
naturally, he didn’t need to be as careful and cautious as before.
in this way, lin jing flew for four hours straight and finally, after flying out of the plain, arrived in a continuous mountain range.
this mountain range was finally not the same as before, with large black rocks finally appearing.
although they weren’t as smooth as those stones that appeared in the riverbank, like crystal, it was a relief to see something different in this blood-red world.
perhaps by crossing this mountain range, one might see a different scene, or even be able to get straight out.
afterward, lin jing continued flying into the mountain range.
this time, he hadn’t flown for long before encountering a man.
this man was also one of those who had been teleported with lin jing.
upon seeing lin jing fly over, the man slowed down and waited for lin jing.
as lin jing approached, the cultivator saluted with a fist and then asked:
“i am qi yuanshu from xian yu island.”
“may i know how to address this fellow daoist?”
lin jing also saluted with a fist in return and said:
“lin jing…”
qi yuanshu nodded and then looked at lin jing, asking:
“daoist lin looks very unfamiliar. may i ask which island you reside on?”
lin jing did not hide anything and replied directly:
“li yan island…”
upon hearing this, qi yuanshu was immediately surprised:
“i’ve long heard that dai mao was defeated by a young man. i never expected the man who defeated dai mao to be daoist lin…”
“my apologies for the oversight…”
lin jing then said:
“daoist qi is mistaken. the person who defeated dai mao is a friend of mine, not i.”
