Chapter 314 - Chapter 314: Chapter 16: Entering the Desert (2/2)

Even others who, due to teleportation, had strayed onto the island, were not like Lin Jing, possessing such low cultivation.

How could those able to afford intercontinental teleportation be ordinary cultivators?

Lin Jing guessed that he was probably the cultivator with the lowest cultivation to enter the Immortal Crossing Island.

……

Within the System Space, Lin Jing sat and meditated for six hours to fully replenish his depleted spiritual power.

After resting, Lin Jing immediately entered Observation Mode, wanting to scout the path ahead.

Since entering the desert, Lin Jing had no specific route, only a general direction given to him by his predecessor, the Ape.

Following this direction, the Ape had told Lin Jing that this desert was peculiar, no matter which way one walked, they would never deviate from the central direction of the desert.

Because the desert was like a disc, once one entered, they would always be moving from the outside towards the center.

And the Trial Grounds were located right in the center of the desert.

In fact, to judge whether one was going in the wrong direction, one only needed to observe the wind and sand, as well as the surrounding environment.

The stronger the wind and sand, and the more adverse the environment, the closer one was to the center, meaning they were on the right path.

One only needed to keep moving inward.

After entering Observation Mode, Lin Jing first saw the sky filled with yellow sand, swept up by the fierce wind everywhere.

This fierce wind swept up not just sand and gravel, even smaller stones were lifted into the sky.

Some windblown sand on the desert ground also revealed the white bones of giant beasts buried in the sand.

These bones had been there for who knows how long, and despite being exposed to the wind and sun for such a long time, their surfaces remained smooth and shiny.

It can be assumed that the creatures were quite formidable in life.

Lin Jing had already seen many such bones along his way.

Lin Jing merely glanced at them and then paid no further attention.

Then, he raised his perspective and looked further inland.

As his view ascended, Lin Jing peered through the sandstorm ahead.

He saw what seemed to be a small green dot in the distance.

However, due to the distance and the wind and sand interference, Lin Jing couldn’t see it very clearly.

Next, with a thought, Lin Jing controlled the observational perspective to move forward, wanting to clearly see what was ahead.

As Lin Jing controlled the Observation Mode, moving closer, the small green dot grew increasingly distinct.

Ahead…

It seemed to be an oasis in the middle of the desert.

And furthermore, Lin Jing observed that…

There seemed to be no wind and sand near that oasis.

Lin Jing immediately felt a surge of elation.

The time he had been in the desert had nearly driven him mad with the torment of wind and sand.

Afterward, Lin Jing exited Observation Mode, deciding to first take a look at the oasis nearby.

Upon leaving Observation Mode, Lin Jing stood up and condensed spiritual power into a Spiritual Shield before leaving the System Space.

Once out of the System Space, the hot air assaulted him instantly, along with the piercing wind, carrying sand and pebbles that “pounded” against Lin Jing’s Spiritual Shield.

Though the attack power of these sand and pebbles wasn’t very strong, they still consumed a substantial amount of spiritual power when hitting the Spiritual Shield.

Lin Jing continued like this, holding up the Spiritual Shield, step by step, walking towards what lay ahead.

Pity that in this desert, there were restrictions that prevented flight, forcing one to proceed on foot, just like Lin Jing was doing.

Otherwise, Lin Jing wouldn’t have had to suffer such hardship in his journey.
