Chapter 374. Object in the water (2/2)
The middle-aged scribe trembled as he spoke. “Imm… Immortal, a long time ago, this was just a deserted mountain. This cave only appeared after an earthquake, and this water prison also appeared at the same time. The water always had a bad stench. Back then, the boss took a look and thought it would make a good prison, which is why this area became a prison.”
Wang Lin raised his head and looked at the mountain. There were some marks of the mountain collapsing before, so this person was not lying.
As a result, everything became clear. This mountain was placed here to seal that skeleton. And then, however many years later, an earthquake opened up a hole in the seal and allowed the skeleton to see the light of day again.
But who exactly was she?
Wang Lin waved his right hand to signal the middle-aged scribe to leave. His eyes sparkled as he mused over this for a while before throwing it to the back of his mind and focusing on finding a way to help himself recover.
The top quality spirit stones inside the water were almost used up and were getting weaker and weaker. Although it would still take countless years for them to be completely used up, they could can no longer satisfy Wang Lin’s needs.
He sat down in the lotus position and slapped his bag of holding, causing three top quality spirit stones to appear. Then he once again closed his eyes to begin cultivating.
In the blink of an eye, three more months passed. It had been over half a year since Wang Lin left Chu.
At this moment, the country of Pilu had entered winter. The cold air filled the mountain and chilled the bones.
The bandits in the village hadn’t left the mountain in over half a year, but there was plenty of food stored in the village, so they could still get through winter.
In these three months, Wang Lin sat motionlessly as he focused all of his attention into cultivating to gather spiritual energy inside his body. He was getting ready to try to break through the domain and seal in one go.
His cultivation had recovered to the 6th layer of Qi Condensation with the help of the top quality spirit stones.
The mosquito beast still guarded Wang Lin, though sometimes it would look into the distance. The direction it was looking at was Chu. In these past three months, it started to miss the thunder toad. Although they were always at odds, after not seeing the thunder toad for so long, the mosquito beast missed the thunder toad.
On this day, Wang Lin opened his eyes. He slapped his bag of holding, took out five more top quality spirit stones, and placed them around him.
After pondering for a while, he touched the tea mark on his forehead and revealed a determined look.
Without a word, he closed his eyes and started to absorb spiritual energy like crazy from the eight top quality spirit stones. As the spiritual energy gathered around him, he emitted a green light and a refreshing fragrance slowly spread.
As more and more spiritual energy gathered around his body, he began to active the 6th layer Qi Condensation level spiritual energy in his body to guide the spiritual energy outside his body to collide with the seal.
Wang Lin was like a metal plate while the spiritual energy inside his body was like a small hammer and the spiritual energy outside was like a large mallet.
The two hammers both hit on the metal to try to create an opening.
After waves of bombardment ensued, Wang Lin’s face began to show how much pain he was in and the tea mark on his face emitted a dark glow. Then the tea mark began to move. From a distance, it looked like an array was turning.
Every time it turned once, a large amount of spiritual energy would be absorbed by it.
Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a hint of hesitation, but this hesitation was soon replaced by determination. He took a deep breath and took out a white jade from his bag of holding.
The moment this jade appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy dimmed and made way for the jade.
“Celestial jade… Swallowing this jade is like taking poison, but the domain and seal in my body are also like poison. To use poison to fight poison is the quickest way to create an opening in the seals on my body!”
Wang Lin pondered a bit, then he picked up the jade, broke off a piece the size of his thumb, and put it in his mouth.
The moment the celestial jade entered his mouth, a powerful surge of celestial spiritual energy entered Wang Lin’s body and surged through him like a flood. The spiritual energy in his body was immediately pushed aside. Compared to the celestial spiritual energy, it was just too insignificant.
Because he had experienced swallowing celestial jade before, Wang Lin was calm as he controlled the surge of celestial spiritual energy to attack the tea domain and seal.
One time, two times, three times!
Every collision would cause Wang Lin’s body to tremble, but it would also cause the tea mark to tremble. Eventually, small cracks began to form on the tea mark.
The ground where he sat began to crack as well with every time he attacked the seals. The cracks spread and hit some of the houses. The houses that were hit by the cracks immediately turned to dust when the wind blew by.
A series of crackling sounds came from within Wang Lin’s body. At this point, about 10% of the tea mark on Wang Lin’s face had cracked and fallen off.
The moment they fell, they turned into black gas that gathered before Wang Lin’s forehead instead of dissipating.
Wang Lin’s face was pale and blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were bright.
An opening in the tea domain and seal finally appeared after a long time of attacking them using the celestial jade.
