Chapter 311: Chapter 13: The Spirit Fruit Ripens, Beasts Attack

But over countless tens of thousands of years, the number of people who have died on Immortal Crossing Island is innumerable, yet not a single person has become immortal.

Even so, every time Immortal Crossing Island opens, there are countless people who find themselves without hope for a breakthrough and come to the island seeking that slim chance of attaining immortality.

Apart from that time, it is rare for anyone to come to Immortal Crossing Island.

Because Immortal Crossing Island has its own rules, outside the opening period, even if one sees the island, it’s impossible to set foot on it.

However, there is one exception…

That is, someone like Lin Jing, who was intercepted by Immortal Crossing Island from the transmission channel.

Speaking of which, it was Lin Jing’s misfortune; the appearance of Immortal Crossing Island was erratic, and sometimes, as the island moved, it would affect the void tunnels.

It was just so for Lin Jing, who was originally transmitting just fine.

As a result, he was affected by the suddenly appearing Immortal Crossing Island, causing a deviation in his transmission that led him to be sent directly onto the island.

Of course, Lin Jing was not the only unlucky one.

But, it wasn’t very common either.

Because only when performing super-long-distance intercontinental transmissions could this kind of situation possibly occur.

Other short-distance transmissions could not affect Immortal Crossing Island at all, and therefore, wouldn’t be affected by it.

Beyond this, Lin Jing also learned about some of the situations on Immortal Crossing Island.

The area where Lin Jing was previous at and the space outside the light barrier were, at most, considered the boundary of Immortal Crossing Island, and could not even be counted as the outskirts.

And the small island in the lake where Senior Ape resided could, in reality, only be regarded as the outer area of Immortal Crossing Island.

Immortal Crossing Island is vast, immensely so…

If we were to truly compare, it is even larger than the Nanming Domain after the calamity.

As for the internal regions of Immortal Crossing Island, Senior Ape described it as follows.

Every time Immortal Crossing Island opens, several life-span-nearing Tribulation passers or peak Mahayana cultivators would head to the internal regions of the island, vainly seeking that slim chance of becoming immortal.

Yet in the end, not a single one of them would come out alive.

Additionally, Lin Jing received another piece of bad news.

After entering Immortal Crossing Island, one cannot leave…

Crossing to the immortal… Crossing to the immortal…

Either ferry to the Yellow Springs or ascend to immortality…

Beyond these, there is no third choice.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Jing’s heart sank; he definitely did not want to spend his life stuck on Immortal Crossing Island.

Eventually, after Lin Jing repeatedly pleaded and insisted, he finally managed to learn from Senior Ape about a possible way out.

At the very western edge of Immortal Crossing Island, there is a desert, and within that desert, there is a Trial Grounds.

By passing through the trials there, one could leave Immortal Crossing Island.

However, so far, innumerable people who ended up on Immortal Crossing Island and later regretted it, attempted those trials, but in the end, not one person managed to succeed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing felt even colder at heart.

But, after several days of deep contemplation,

Lin Jing still decided to try his luck at the Trial Grounds.

Of course, before that, he had to help Senior Ape ripen the Five Elements Spirit Fruits.

After all, Senior Ape had been quite decent to him, never once using force to coerce Lin Jing from start to finish.

Moreover, during that time, Senior Ape provided Lin Jing with many Spirit Fruits and spirit liquid among other heavenly materials and earthly treasures for him to consume.

On one hand, consuming those Spirit Fruits was beneficial to the ripening of the Five Elements Spirit Fruits.

On the other hand, it helped in cleansing Lin Jing’s body.

Under two months of ripening, The Five Elements Spirit Fruits underwent significant changes.

According to Senior Ape, if not for Lin Jing’s efforts in ripening them, it would have probably taken several more decades for the Five Elements Spirit Fruits to mature.

But, Senior Ape couldn’t wait anymore.

It was already at the peak of Nascent Soul cultivation, on the verge of stepping into the next realm.
