Chapter 301 - Chapter 301: Chapter 3: Immortal Crossing Island [Thanks to Kele~Chicken Wings for the reward] (2/2)
“`
As Lin Jing’s voice faded, the scene before his eyes began to blur. When the view cleared again, he once more appeared outside.
After coming out, Lin Jing headed towards the predetermined direction and walked forward.
……
This time, Lin Jing’s luck was exceptionally good.
In two days, he only encountered a few Golden Core Demonic Beasts.
Lin Jing had some close calls but managed to evade them safely.
After scaling two not-so-low mountain peaks, the dense forest finally began to change.
Lin Jing stood atop a mountain peak, looking ahead.
He saw that ahead was the edge of the dense forest; beyond that were broken stones, a beach…
Even further was a boundless sea…
“This…”
“Could it be that I’ve been teleported to the Demonic Monster Sea?”
Lin Jing muttered in his heart.
The deep blue sea stretched to the horizon.
This didn’t seem like something that belonged in the Eastern Spirit Realm.
Then, Lin Jing withdrew his gaze and looked towards the stone beach in front of the dense forest, where a gigantic stele stood upon the stones.
This stele, unlike a creation of nature, appeared to be carved by human hands, about one hundred meters tall, with its back towards Lin Jing.
This was the first thing related to humans that Lin Jing had seen since he arrived here.
The stele faced the sea, and there should be something on its front side. With its back to the dense forest, Lin Jing guessed that its front side might very well contain something.
Such as patterns, or perhaps inscriptions…
Without delay, Lin Jing decided to go take a look first.
Perhaps because he was at the edge of the dense forest, his descent from the mountain was, as usual, smooth sailing.
In just over three hours, Lin Jing arrived at the bottom of the mountain and exited the dense forest.
He then sprinted towards the stele in the distance.
Hoping to see if the stele was engraved with any patterns or script.
Upon reaching the stele,
Lin Jing looked up and saw that the stele indeed had inscriptions.
“Immortal Crossing Island”—these three large characters were inscribed upon the stele.
And below them, two lines of smaller text.
“Immortal Crossing Island, the road to becoming an immortal.”
“Once you enter Immortal Crossing, there’s no returning.”
Seeing the inscriptions above, Lin Jing was instantly startled.
“Immortal Crossing Island…” Lin Jing muttered to himself.
The words on the stele were simply too shocking.
Daring to be named Immortal Crossing Island and even claiming to be the road to becoming an immortal…
This Immortal Crossing Island must not be so simple.
Especially that last phrase, “Once you enter Immortal Crossing, there’s no returning,” seemed to suggest…
That once one reached Immortal Crossing Island, there was no way down.
“Could it be that once you come to Immortal Crossing Island, you can’t leave?” Lin Jing frowned and muttered to himself.
However, Lin Jing wasn’t going to be frightened by the inscriptions on the stele.
He still intended to give it a try.
Lin Jing shifted his gaze and then turned around.
Looking towards that endless sea in the distance, he then walked towards the seaside.
Although this place seemed safe at a glance, Lin Jing remained cautious and on guard.
It’s better to be safe than sorry.
Passing the stone beach, Lin Jing arrived at the sandy beach.
Ahead lay the seaside.
Lin Jing then looked down at the ground; the sandy beach occasionally had broken stones, some shells of shellfish, or dry fish bones.
No different from an ordinary beach.
Just as Lin Jing was thinking about proceeding further, a sudden tremor in his heart brought an ominous premonition.
At that moment, the System’s warning also sounded abruptly in Lin Jing’s mind.
“Warning!”
“Within the alert range, malice targeting the host has been detected. Please respond promptly.”
