Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 689

?Chapter 689: Chapter 298: Core Area Chapter 689: Chapter 298: Core Area With Lin Jing’s punch blasting out, it heavily struck the area where the light flickered.

“Boom!”

A loud noise followed by a “crack” sound, like that of some metal object breaking, echoed through the air.

Immediately after, a silver-white liquid poured out.

It was not until then that Lin Jing had a sense of feeling.

This seemed to be a kind of intelligent beast.

……

Afterward.

The thing that attacked Lin Jing in front finally revealed its form, and it indeed was a strange beast.

And this strange beast seemed to also be capable of becoming invisible.

No wonder Lin Jing had not noticed anything before.

As the silver liquid flowed out, the beast’s shape also slowly became visible.

It was an owl-like beast, only much larger in size and completely silver-white in color, resembling a skeleton and just as smooth, as if cast from silver metal.

On its forehead was a silver bead.

However…

The silver bead seemed to have been shattered by Lin Jing’s punch just now, and the liquid inside it was leaking out.

As the silver liquid kept leaking, the body of the silver giant owl became more and more visible.

Clearly, it was the liquid inside the bead on its forehead that made it invisible.

Upon the death of the silver giant owl, its body began to fall downward.

Seeing this, Lin Jing reached out and directly caught the silver giant owl in his hand.

This silver giant owl could hide its form and breath; Lin Jing was indeed going to study it carefully.

Afterward.

Holding the giant owl in his hand, Lin Jing descended toward the ground below.

Beneath Lin Jing was a mountain peak.

This mountain peak was also black like the other areas, with flashes of silver and gold light on it.

Lin Jing descended from mid-air and landed on the peak.

Just as Lin Jing set down the corpse of the silver giant owl he was holding, intending to study it,

unexpectedly, another incident occurred.

In front of Lin Jing, the black ground suddenly lifted a large chunk without warning, and this piece of ground flew directly at Lin Jing.

Fortunately, having just experienced the attack of the silver giant owl, Lin Jing was still on high alert.

The moment there was any movement in the black ground, Lin Jing had already noticed it and was prepared.

Immediately.

Lin Jing threw another punch directly forward.

Under Lin Jing’s fist, the uplifted piece of ground shattered into pieces with a “thud.”

After the ground split open, a turtle-like strange beast was revealed within it.

The entire body of this strange beast, like the ground itself, was completely black, except for its eyes, which were different.

One glowed with a golden light,

while the other shimmered with a silver light,

much like the golden and silver flashes that could be seen everywhere on this black land.

This camouflage was simply perfect.

With the suppression of Divine Sense and relying only on visual observation, it was very difficult to detect their disguise.

However, even though this turtle-like strange beast pounced toward Lin Jing, its speed was not as fast as the silver giant owl beast.

With a punch from Lin Jing, striking the turtle’s shell, it felt like hitting steel.

The shell on the back of the old turtle was extremely hard.

But sadly, this hard shell could not withstand Lin Jing’s strike.

With just one punch, the shell on the turtle’s back cracked open.

And the turtle’s flesh was shattered, spilling out a large amount of silver blood,

dyeing the entire ground silver.

And the old turtle died instantly as a result.

After killing the old turtle, Lin Jing did not relax.

He quickly spread his Divine Sense to inspect the ground below,

to check if there were any other beasts lying in ambush nearby.

After some investigation and ensuring that there was no ambush by any other beasts in the vicinity, Lin Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Both the giant owl and the old turtle beast were extremely difficult to detect when they were concealed.

Lin Jing was certainly going to find out why.

…

…

Four hours passed, and on top of the mountain, the bodies of the giant owl and the old turtle beast had been disassembled by Lin Jing.

In addition, there was another complete old turtle corpse lying next to Lin Jing.

After disassembling them, Lin Jing finally understood why these strange beasts could hide.

It was all because of Spiritual Power.

The first layer of the Five Elements Ruins was the Metal Realm, where Metallic Attribute Spiritual Power was dense.

And those two beasts relied on Metallic Attribute Spiritual Power for their survival.

Moreover,

the stronger the Metallic Attribute Spiritual Power, the stronger their abilities.

Besides, these strange beasts also had an ability to use Metallic Attribute Spiritual Power to conceal themselves, thus making it hard for enemies to sense their presence.

That was the reason why Lin Jing couldn’t feel anything before these strange beasts attacked.

Even the giant owl had a special ability to become invisible, making it even harder for Lin Jing, who could not use Divine Sense, to detect it.

Knowing that there were these beasts that could launch stealth attacks at any moment, Lin Jing then continued on his way.

However,

this time, Lin Jing was more cautious to avoid being ambushed.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

The expanse of the Metal Realm of the Five Elements was vast.

It took Lin Jing more than a month to reach the central area of the Metal Realm.

At that time, Lin Jing, wearing a black straw raincoat, walked unhurriedly across the black land.

This black straw raincoat, coupled with the lack of any breath emanating from Lin Jing’s body, made it easy to overlook him unless one looked closely.

The straw raincoat on Lin Jing’s body was made from the softer underbelly hide of the old turtle beast.

Wearing this raincoat in the Metal Realm not only hid his form,

The most important thing is that it can conceal one’s own aura.

This helps avoid attacks on oneself.

Since the first attack, as I proceeded towards the central region, the frequency of such attacks increased.

Even my distinct aura, compared to that of the Five Elements Metal Realm, directly attracted the besiege of those exotic beasts.

Although these beasts couldn’t harm Lin Jing, they were quite annoying.

Countless exotic beasts attacked from dawn till dusk without rest.

And furthermore,

the closer Lin Jing got to the central region, the more powerful these beasts became.

Dealing with each beast required a considerable amount of energy.

It nearly brought Lin Jing to a point where he could hardly move.

Out of necessity,

Lin Jing had to find other ways to evade these beasts’ attacks.

It was by chance that Lin Jing discovered that the hide of an old turtle beast could block one’s aura.

Therefore,

Lin Jing thought of this method.

Using the hide of the old turtle beast, he crafted such a cloak.

And indeed, after donning this cloak and forcefully suppressing his own aura,

he could actually deceive the perception of those beasts.

He could even deceive those huge owl beasts in the sky.

However, after putting on this cloak, Lin Jing could no longer fly, forced instead to walk on the ground.

And he couldn’t move too fast either.

If he moved too quickly, he would still be noticed by those beasts.

……

Lin Jing walked lightly, without making a sound on the ground.

At the moment, not far from him underground, there lay a slumbering old turtle beast.

Although it was sleeping, any disturbance would immediately wake it up and it would instantly attack Lin Jing.

?????.??

This situation was something Lin Jing had encountered many times before.

The old turtle beast had already been detected by Lin Jing’s Divine Sense.

However, Lin Jing chose not to disturb it.

As long as it was not agitated, it would continue sleeping and would not attack Lin Jing.

Currently, this area is already within the central region of the Five Elements Metal Realm where the Metallic Attribute Spiritual Energy is even more concentrated.

And these beasts are even more formidable.

Lin Jing just wanted to quickly pass through here and didn’t wish to provoke them without reason.

Passing by the slumbering old turtle beast, Lin Jing continued forward.

Ahead of Lin Jing was a mountain range soaring into the clouds, stretching endlessly.

Beyond this mountain range lay the heart of the Five Elements Metal Realm, the most central area.

The Five Elements Metal Spirit resides in that central area.

And furthermore,

if he wanted to cross here to travel to the far west of the Metal Realm, he would also need to traverse this mountain range.

Lin Jing lifted his head, looking towards the mountain range ahead.

The mountain range spanned from the south to the north, with no end in sight.

At the top of the entire mountain range, there was a shimmering golden light, glittering brightly.

It seemed that even the mountain range was extraordinary.

Merely glancing upwards, Lin Jing then stopped hesitating and continued towards the direction of the mountains.

The mountain range was towering, visible from afar, but it wasn’t so easy to approach.

It took Lin Jing five days just to reach the foot of the mountains.

Then, after six more days, Lin Jing traversed the towering range and finally entered the core area of the center.

Within this core area, Lin Jing was even more cautious.

The beasts in this core area were three times larger compared to those in the outer central regions.

Presumably, the strength of these beasts would be even more terrifying.

However, the closer to the core area, the greater the danger, which was to be expected.

……

Lin Jing continued forward, now even more cautious and slower than before.

Finally, after two days, just as Lin Jing began to climb a hillside, he sensed a dangerous aura coming from ahead.

That’s when Lin Jing stopped.

He had decided not to proceed any further from here.

Further ahead should be the very center of the Five Elements Metal Realm, an extremely dangerous place.

At the same time, if there truly existed a Five Elements Metal Spirit, it would also appear there.

Ahead lay danger; a rash move could awaken the beasts, and in this place, Divine Sense was suppressed to an extreme extent.

To investigate, he would have to find another method.

But,

for Lin Jing, this wasn’t really a problem at all.

Because he had the System Space.

After stopping, Lin Jing immediately invoked the System and entered the System Space.

Once in the System Space, without delay, Lin Jing entered Observation Mode.

Inside the System Space, using Observation Mode to scout was much safer than doing it himself outside.

And furthermore,

the range of this scouting was much wider than using Divine Sense.

Lin Jing, now in Observation Mode, watched as his viewpoint appeared directly above where he had just been standing.

Afterwards, Lin Jing controlled the viewpoint to continue scouting ahead.

In Observation Mode, Lin Jing no longer had any concerns and directly controlled the viewpoint to rise.

Soon, the viewpoint surpassed the summit of the mountain he was on and he could see the scene ahead.

On the other side of the mountain where Lin Jing was located, in a valley, lay a colossal golden turtle.

This giant turtle was so large that its body covered an area of a thousand zhang in diameter.

It nearly filled the entire valley.

The sense of danger Lin Jing had felt before

came precisely from this giant turtle.

And most crucially…

As Lin Jing watched this golden giant turtle, he also noticed two figures in black armor acting stealthily.

Just by their stature, Lin Jing recognized them.

These two people were none other than Li Mingwu and Dragon Taoist.
