Chapter 328 - Chapter 328: Chapter 30 Preparing for Tribulation (2/2)

“I’d like to help you as your protector.”

“If it’s going to be a long wait, you might as well come with me to Bihai City. I have some matters to attend to there, and after I’m done, we can have our match,”

Faced with Yan Wanfei’s enthusiastic invitation, Lin Jing really felt overwhelmed and didn’t know how to respond, so he could only force a dry laugh and said,

“Hehe…”

“Yan, my fellow Daoist, you are truly too generous,”

Yan Wanfei didn’t mind and simply waved his hand, saying,

“It’s nothing. In this Demonic Monster Sea, there are many Demon Cultivators who crave slaughter and follow no rules whatsoever.”

“During Tribulation, if one doesn’t have a protector, these Demon Cultivators will seize the opportunity to launch surprise attacks and plunder those enduring their Tribulation.”

“This has happened many times here in the Demonic Monster Sea, and having someone to act as a protector can make things much better,”

“Is that so?” Lin Jing asked with a frown.

Yan Wanfei nodded as if it was only natural, saying,

“Of course, you must know that this is the Demonic Monster Sea, aside from the few big sea cities, there are no rules to speak of anywhere else.”

After that, Lin Jing fell deep into thought.

He had heard some things about the Demonic Monster Sea before.

The place was very chaotic, Lin Jing knew, but he never had a deep understanding of it.

Having listened to Yan Wanfei, Lin Jing finally began to truly feel the chaos of the Demonic Monster Sea.

It seemed that if one wished to survive here, cultivation was of utmost importance.

However, Lin Jing was still somewhat wary of Yan Wanfei.

After all, this Tribulation was unlike any other; Lin Jing needed to face the Heavenly Tribulation with all his might, and if someone were to interfere unexpectedly, it would put him in a passive position.

Having thought it through, Lin Jing said to Yan Wanfei,

“Fellow Daoist Yan, I won’t lie to you. I’m not quite ready yet. I intend to wait a bit longer, to make more preparations. I’ll begin the Tribulation after some time because the Heavenly Tribulation is no trifling matter,”

After hearing this, Yan Wanfei nodded and said,

“That’s fine too…”

“Brother Lin, since that’s the case, then I will take my leave first.”

After speaking, Yan Wanfei took out a jade pendant and handed it to Lin Jing, saying,

“Brother Lin, this is a Transmission Jade. Take it with you when you go to Bihai City, and you can use it to contact me. Then we can still enjoy a couple of drinks together,”

“Alright…” Lin Jing accepted the Transmission Jade and replied.

Afterward, Yan Wanfei gave Lin Jing a few more instructions and then left the place.

Not long after Yan Wanfei’s departure, Lin Jing left the small island by sword flight.

……

After Lin Jing left, he continued to search for another uninhabited small island.

He really was due for his Tribulation.

Yan Wanfei seemed enthusiastic and apparently had no ill-intent.

However, Lin Jing had only spent a short time with Yan Wanfei and was unclear about his character.

Lin Jing did not like to entrust his safety to someone he was not familiar with; thus, he used the excuse of postponing his Tribulation to leave that place.

Then, Lin Jing continued his search above the sea.

This search went on for more than ten days.

During this time, he did come across several other small islands, but they clearly had signs of someone passing by frequently.

Lin Jing chose not to settle on those islands and continued his search.

Finally, he found a rarely visited small island at last.

And there were no formidable Demonic Beasts on the island either.

After finding the island, Lin Jing began his preparations.

Earlier, on Immortal Crossing Island, Lin Jing had concocted a total of three Flawless Cultivation True Elixirs.

Now was the perfect time to make use of them.

Lin Jing sat cross-legged on the small island, took a Flawless Cultivation True Elixir, then released his cultivation, feeling the breath of heaven and earth.

Given Lin Jing’s present level of cultivation, it probably wouldn’t take long for the Heavenly Tribulation to sense it and then the Tribulation Clouds would come.

This time, Lin Jing did not prepare anything for his Tribulation other than Elixir Medicine.

The reason for this was also related to Lin Jing’s cultivation of the Overlord Divine Physique.

For the Overlord Divine Physique to advance to the Golden Core Stage, it was essential to endure the purification of the Heavenly Tribulation.

This step was known as ‘Drawing Lightning Into the Body’.

Using the domineering destructive power of the Heavenly Tribulation to reshape one’s own body and fully unleash the potential within it.

In fact, this was a necessary step for every Body Refinement Cultivator.

Spell Cultivators rely on their own spells and Magical Treasures to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, while Body Refinement Cultivators have to physically withstand it, the danger of which is self-evident.

If it were not so, there wouldn’t be so few Body Refinement Cultivators.

And it was precisely because of this that Lin Jing wanted to find an uninhabited place to undergo the Tribulation alone.

An hour passed by.

Lin Jing, occupied with circulating his Cultivation Technique and consolidating his cultivation, suddenly felt a terrifying pressure descending from the heavens and the earth.

The pressure, originating between heaven and earth, felt different from the atmosphere of the Trial Grounds on Immortal Crossing Island; it came from all directions, as if the whole world was rejecting him.

Especially Lin Jing, sitting on the island, felt it most acutely.

In the sky, some black clouds began to form, and they were gathering directly above Lin Jing’s head.

Everything around him became eerily silent at this moment; even the leaves on the island stopped stirring.

For a time, the entire island and the surrounding area became extremely tense.

As time slowly passed, the black clouds above Lin Jing’s head grew thicker and more numerous, even surpassing the Tribulation Clouds of Elder Yu’s previously endured Tribulation.

Yet even so, the thunder in the skies still did not descend.

The black clouds continued to gather.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense…
