Chapter 318 - Chapter 318: Chapter 20 Deception and Being Deceived (2/2)

“The Lin Family can be dispensed with, but as the sole inheritor of our Lin Family’s bloodline, I must ensure you are sent out.”

“Senior Ancestor, do you know the way out?” Lin Jing asked, puzzled.

The Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor then spoke up,

“After I entered Immortal Crossing Island and sealed the enemy, I pondered for a long time and finally found a way through the trials.”

“As long as one passes the trial, they can leave Immortal Crossing Island.”

“Come…”

“Open your mind, and I will pass all these methods on to you.”

Hearing this, a sudden start jolted Lin Jing’s heart.

He abruptly remembered the dissipating remnant soul…

He then spoke up, asking the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor:

“Senior Ancestor, I encountered two sets of dry bones at the bottom of the pool, one of them had a black nail in its forehead, what is that about?”

Upon hearing this, the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor asked Lin Jing:

“Within those sealed dry bones, was there still a soul light shining?”

“If there is soul light, remember you must not remove that black nail under any circumstances.”

Lin Jing shook his head, saying:

“No…”

“When I first arrived here, the soul light was already very weak.”

“But before that, I had already received news of that remnant soul, so I waited until the soul light disappeared before I dared to go down into this pool.”

“Are you certain that the soul light has dissipated?” the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor asked again.

Lin Jing nodded, saying, “Yes, Senior Ancestor.”

“That’s good…” the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor sighed in relief.

“That person is an enemy of our Lin Family, and what he cultivated was the Dao Transformation Divinity Technique. With this cultivation technique, a soul spirit is extremely hard to extinguish.”

“That’s why I used a Soul-Sealing Nail to seal him.”

“It seems that even the most unyielding soul spirits cannot withstand the passage of time.”

“Now that he has been extinguished, that Spirit-Suppressing Nail is a rare treasure; you can take it with you at any time.”

“If you are still worried, you can just leave it be.”

“By the way, Senior Ancestor…” Lin Jing continued to ask.

“I once obtained a gourd magical treasure which actually allowed a remnant soul to attach to it, I wonder if you have heard of such a thing… ”

The Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor first paused, then responded:

“The gourd you mentioned might be a special Dao treasure, it should have exceeded the category of magical treasures.”

“Unfortunately, I am merely a stubborn will; otherwise, it would have really been possible to attach myself to that gourd and have you take me out…”

Having said that, the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor gave a bitter smile.

At that moment, Lin Jing saw the figure of the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor, who seemed solid at first, becoming a lot more ethereal.

The Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor looked down at his own body, then continued speaking to Lin Jing:

“Time is almost up, I am about to dissipate…”

“Now, open your mind, I will pass on the method to leave this place to you, and when the time comes, you can pass the trial and leave Immortal Crossing Island by following my method.”

However, after the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor finished speaking, Lin Jing made no move nor did he open his mind.

Lin Jing looked at the increasingly ethereal figure of the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor, who was about to dissipate, and said:

“Senior Ancestor, is this method to leave very complicated?”

The Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor nodded and said:

“It is indeed somewhat complex, mainly because I don’t have much time left now, and I can’t explain it to you in detail. It can only be passed on to you in this way.”

“Oh…” Lin Jing uttered, still without any movement.

And in Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness, the phantom image of the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor was becoming fainter and fainter.

In Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness, the two of them just looked at each other.

From beginning to end, Lin Jing had not opened his mind.

And the expression on the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor’s face became increasingly unsightly.

Moments later, ‘The Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor’ looked at Lin Jing, his eyes filled with appreciation, and then he said:

“How did you find out about me?”

But Lin Jing did not answer, instead directly asking:

“The remnant soul that entered my sea of consciousness, it has no ability to harm me, right?”

The reason Lin Jing made such a judgment was that when the remnant soul entered, it did not trigger a counterattack from the Divine Phoenix Mark, nor was there a system warning.

“So, you pretended to be my Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor, trying to lure me into releasing control of my mind to take over my body, and then to remove that Spirit-Suppressing Nail.”

“I was almost deceived by you.”

At that moment, in Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness, the image of the Lin Family’s Senior Ancestor suddenly transformed, turning into another old man with a sinister gaze.

“You’re very smart, partly right…”

“Indeed, with that Spirit-Suppressing Nail in place, there’s no way for me to escape, and only by removing that nail can I truly be free.”

“However, you shouldn’t have opened the Lin Family’s bloodline inheritance box…”

The sinister-looking old man suddenly cracked a smile:

“Lin Feiling really thought he could get my Dao Transformation Divinity Technique that easily?”

“And even harbored the delusion of putting my Dao Transformation Divinity Technique into the Lin Family’s bloodline inheritance box.”

“Hahahaha…”

“He’s really too naive.”
