Facing Xu Yeâs praise, Lin Jing didnât know whether to laugh or cryâ¦
âXu Daoyouâ¦â
âYouâre thinking too much. The fact that you were able to successfully advance to the Nascent Soul Stage is already extraordinaryâ¦â
âWhat happened to me was purely an accident.â
âAs for why it was like this, Iâm not very clear myself.â
After hearing this, Xu Ye expressed his astonishment:
âLin Daoyou, you actually do not know about your own Heavenly Tribulation?â
Lin Jing shook his head and said:
âNo ideaâ¦â
âDuring the Golden Core Tribulation, although it was equally grand in scale, it wasnât like now, where just undergoing one Tribulation led to an advancement to the third level of the Nascent Soul directly.â
Xu Ye stroked his chin and after pondering for a while, said:
âIâve never heard of a Heavenly Tribulation like the one Lin Daoyou has just experienced.â
At that moment, the Wu-surnamed cultivator came up and said to Lin Jing:
âCongratulations Lin Daoyouâ¦â
âOn successfully advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage.â
Lin Jing nodded slightly and then looked at the Wu-surname cultivator, saying:
âYou flatter me, Wu Daoyouâ¦â
âSeeing Wu Daoyouâs extraordinary aura, I estimate that you could soon undergo Tribulation and advance to the Nascent Soul Stage if all goes well!â
The Wu-surnamed cultivator modestly said:
âYesâ¦â
âHowever, I canât compare to Lin Daoyou, who was able to directly advance three minor realms in this Tribulation.â
âItâs truly unprecedented and unheard ofâ¦â
Xu Ye also nodded his head in agreement.
Lin Jing could only helplessly shake his head in response.
Afterward, Xu Ye spoke up, glanced at the Blue-Robed Cultivators, and said to Lin Jing:
âThose people should have been your protectors, but they fled at the critical moment, how do you plan to deal with them?â
The Wu-surnamed cultivator also spoke at this moment:
âI am also responsible for this. Choosing the wrong people reflects badly on me, and Iâve let down Lin Daoyou.â
âHere, let me first apologize to Lin Daoyouâ¦â
âAs for those few, itâs up to Lin Daoyou to deal with them.â
Lin Jing turned his head and glanced at them.
Then he said to the Wu-surname cultivator:
âSince you called them here, you deal with them.â
The Wu-surname cultivator was stunned for a moment and then asked:
âMe?â
Lin Jing nodded and said, âYesâ¦â
The Wu-surname cultivator turned to look at Xu Ye and, seeing that Xu Ye had no objection, he gave a cupped-fist salute to Lin Jing and said:
âRest assured, Lin Daoyou, I will give you a proper resolutionâ¦â
Saying this, he left alone, flying towards the direction where the Blue-Robed Cultivators were.
After the Wu-surname cultivator left, Xu Ye asked:
âWhy didnât you just kill them?â
Lin Jing replied:
âAfter all, they were arranged by Wu Daoyou. Itâs better to let him handle itâ¦â
âBesides, among them is an Array Master. If we kill them rashly, weâll need someone to set up the Teleportation Array when we leave later.â
Hearing this, Xu Ye nodded.
â¦â¦
Before long, the Wu-surname cultivator returned, holding a Storage Bag in his hand.
After the Wu-surnamed cultivator came back, he handed the Storage Bag directly to Lin Jing, saying:
âThis is what those few are offering as compensation for their wrongdoing, Lin Daoyou, please accept itâ¦â
Lin Jing took the Storage Bag and then let his Divine Sense probe into it, taking a glance, and noddedâ¦
Inside the Storage Bag were several million Spirit Stones, along with various Spirit Plants and materials.
What pleased Lin Jing wasâ¦
Inside the Storage Bag, there was a Fourth Rank Spirit Plant that Lin Jing had been lacking â the Green Spirit Grass.
Furthermore, this Green Spirit Grass was quite intact, with its roots included, allowing it to be planted in the System Space.
Green Spirit Grass was the main ingredient for refining Green Spirit Pills.
And the Azure Spirit Pill is used to increase oneâs Cultivation during the Nascent Soul Stage.
However, Azure Spirit Grass usually only grows in deep mountains with extremely dense Spiritual Energy, which is very rare in the Demonic Monster Sea.
Therefore, Lin Jingzhi had not acquired any until now.
After that, Lin Jing stowed the Storage Bag away.
Then, the Wu-named Cultivator continued:
âFurthermoreâ¦â
âAside from those two Array Masters, I will have the rest scout ahead.â
âAs for whether they live or die, thatâs up to their fate.â
Lin Jing nodded slightly and said:
âAlrightâ¦â
âLetâs do that thenâ¦â
Previously, Lin Jing had learned from Shopkeeper Shenâs memory that after leaving the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm, the outside would be very dangerous.
There would be strange Demonic Beasts that could attack at any moment.
Setting up the Formation to exit would also require a location that is closest to the exit and rich in Spiritual Energy.
Therefore, someone needed to scout the way.
Originally, the Wu-named Cultivator had already arranged for people to scout ahead.
Now, he was simply adding a few more to the group.
After settling this matterâ¦
The Wu-named Cultivator spoke again to discuss leaving the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm with Lin Jing and another personâ¦
â¦â¦
Two days laterâ¦
On a vast, boundless plain.
A group of Cultivators was walking across the plain in formations.
Each of them was in a defensive stance, being very cautiousâ¦
At the very front of the group, two Cultivators were leading the wayâ¦
Those two at the forefront were none other than Lin Jing and Xu Ye.
Suddenly.
âAhâ¦â
A scream rang out, and at the rear of the group of Cultivators, one who was on full alert and defending keenly, was suddenly bisected.
An immense amount of blood spattered onto the yellow-brown ground.
The surrounding Cultivators hastily maneuvered their Magical Treasure Flying Swords, striking towards the front of the Cultivator who was cut in two.
âBoom!â
âBang!â
âClang!â
With the sounds of impact, a yellow-brown silhouette appeared in front of the bisected Cultivator.
It resembled a mantis, but its body was as thin as a bamboo pole, with flat forelegs sharp like blades.
At this moment, blood was dripping down from itâ¦
Clearly, the Cultivator had been cleaved in half by this mantis-like bizarre Demonic Beast.
The attacks from the Magical Treasures seemed to barely affect this strange Demonic Beast.
The numerous attacks at most left only shallow marks on its body.
Seeing more Magical Treasures flying towards it, the creature forcefully leapt, instantly retreating a great distance.
After it was out of the reach of the attacks, the strange Demonic Beastâs form began to fade rapidly, and in just a moment, it was no longer visible.
This bizarre Demonic Beast could actually turn invisible.
However, at that moment.
A figure suddenly appeared where the beast had turned invisible.
The figure then struck towards the void with a punch.
There was tremendous force behind the fist, and as it was thrown, one could vaguely see black arcs of lightning appearing.
The person who had appeared suddenly was Lin Jing.
After Lin Jing threw the punch, the mantis-like Demonic Beastâs form was revealed.
Struck by Lin Jingâs punch, the creatureâs bamboo-pole-like body snapped in half.
However, it did not dieâ¦
Instead, it forcefully pushed off with its legs, dragging the broken half of its body as it pounced towards Lin Jing.
Lin Jing then stepped forward and reappeared right in front of the bizarre Demonic Beast.
He followed up with another punch, blasting a large hole through the Demonic Beastâs head.
And with that, the beast remained frozen in place, then fell heavily to the ground.
Dead beyond any doubtâ¦
