…
Time flew by like a white steed flashing past a crevice.
Because there were no seasons within the Five Elements Territory, time seemed to have paused here, making it hard for one to sense its passing.
Only the gradually diminishing Five Elements Spiritual Power within the Five Elements Territory could let one realize that time was indeed trickling away.
A long time passed once again, and the Five Elements Spiritual Power within the Five Elements Territory gradually depleted, losing its former splendor, and the entire Five Elements Territory fell into a dead silence.
Only in the palm of the Five Elements Ancestor was there a slight fluctuation of spiritual power.
?????.??
At this moment.
In the small courtyard at the center of the statue’s palm, Lin Jing was sitting cross-legged.
In his hand was a Golden Core, covered in cracks and devoid of any color.
This Golden Core was precisely the one the spiritual mind of the Five Elements Ancestor had given to Lin Jing.
However, all the cultivation within the Golden Core had been absorbed by Lin Jing, causing the entire core to become filled with cracks.
Just then, a slight “crack” sound came from the Golden Core, followed by a spread of cracks.
Soon…
The sound kept spreading, and the entire Golden Core completely shattered into several pieces.
After the Golden Core shattered, in less than a breath’s time, it turned into powder and then vanished.
A long time passed after the Golden Core disappeared before Lin Jing slowly opened his eyes.
After opening his eyes, Lin Jing looked down at his palm, where there was nothing left.
Lin Jing then couldn’t help but shake his head and sighed,
“Sigh…!”
“Even after absorbing all the spiritual power of the Five Elements Territory and the cultivation from the Golden Core, I still failed to advance to the Dao Integration Stage.”
Actually, the cultivation left by the Five Elements Ancestor in the Five Elements Golden Core, as well as the spiritual power of the entire Five Elements Territory, were not small in amount.
After absorbing either one, Lin Jing’s cultivation would have significantly increased.
However, while cultivating the Immortal Five Elements Technique, Lin Jing was also using spiritual power to cultivate the Overlord Divine Physique, pushing his Body Refinement cultivation upwards, which naturally required much more spiritual power than others.
Therefore…
Even after Lin Jing had refined all the cultivation within the Five Elements Golden Core and absorbed all the Five Elements Spiritual Power of the territory, he only managed to break through to the pinnacle of the Solidifying Body Realm.
Actually, Lin Jing also entertained the thought of giving up cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique and abandoning the enhancement of his Body Refinement cultivation.
Because cultivating just the Immortal Five Elements Technique would have been sufficient, and cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique while being a Body Refinement Cultivator seemed somewhat redundant.
The main reason was that in order to cultivate the Overlord Divine Physique, one had to re-cultivate the realms one had already achieved once over.
The amount of spiritual power expended was also twice that of others.
However.
After a bit of thought, Lin Jing dismissed this idea.
The current Lin Jing, whose Spiritual Root had reached that of the Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root, did not lag behind other genius cultivators in terms of cultivation speed.
Additionally, he had System Space, an against-the-heaven tool, where the flow of time was multiplied.
Lin Jing did not need to worry about his cultivation speed being too slow due to the Body Refining techniques, with System Space having his back, these were no problems at all.
Another point was during the tribulation.
Every time Lin Jing faced a Heavenly Tribulation, it seemed stronger than what others faced.
The ability of Lin Jing to successfully survive every tribulation was significantly due to the Overlord Divine Physique.
Cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique allowed Lin Jing’s body to absorb the Tribulation Lightning, reducing the damage he sustained during the tribulation.
And this time during the tribulation, one of the reasons Lin Jing appeared to suffer little damage was because of his cultivation of the Overlord Divine Physique.
Another was due to the abundant Five Elements Spiritual Power in the Five Elements Territory, which Lin Jing could use at any time to repair his wounded body.
Therefore, this tribulation was passed by Lin Jing with more shock than harm, safely overcoming it.
Had he not cultivated the Overlord Divine Physique, Lin Jing might not have been able to heal his body proactively before being turned to ash by the devastating Heavenly Lightning.
So, the Overlord Divine Physique should not be abandoned but continued to be cultivated.
Moreover, by cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique, he became a Body Refinement Cultivator, thereby gaining another method to combat foes, so why not embrace it?
…
After sighing, Lin Jing stood up.
Then, he counted on his fingers for a while.
After calculating, Lin Jing realized that he had spent over thirty-seven years cultivating up to the present.
That is to say, the time spent in the outside world, combined with the time spent in the System Space, added up to a total of one hundred and fifty years.
In that time, Lin Jing had cultivated from the first level of the Solidifying Body Realm to the peak of the Solidifying Body Realm.
Although he had the aid of the Five Elements Golden Core and Five Elements Spiritual Force, which accelerated his cultivation a bit, the cultivation Lin Jing needed to break through was twice that of others.
This pace of cultivation, under normal circumstances, could be considered extremely rapid.
But Lin Jing’s cultivation was aided by the Five Elements Golden Core.
Therefore, this speed was not considered fast.
Instead, it was extremely slow.
During this period, Lin Jing wasn’t constantly cultivating.
Many times, to prevent his cultivation from breaking through too quickly and becoming unstable, Lin Jing would periodically slow down his cultivation to solidify his gains.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken a full one hundred and fifty years to reach the peak of the Solidifying Body Realm, even with the aid of the Five Elements Golden Core.
During the times he solidified his cultivation, Lin Jing was not idle; whenever he had time, he would refine some elixirs.
With continuous alchemy, his Alchemy Proficiency naturally increased significantly.
As a result, Lin Jing’s alchemy level also made another breakthrough, directly advancing to a Seventh Grade Alchemist.
Since those low-tier Spiritual Plants matured very quickly, Lin Jing planted most of the Spirit Fields with them.
Throughout this period, by utilizing the rapid maturation of these low-tier Spiritual Plants, Lin Jing not only gained many Harvest Points but also refined quite a few low-tier elixirs of Flawless quality during his alchemy sessions.
And these low-tier elixirs, whether Flawless quality or other qualities, were of no use to Lin Jing himself.
So…
Lin Jing converted all of the elixirs he refined, including those Flawless elixirs, entirely into Harvest Points.
In this way, up to this point, the Harvest Points accumulated in the System Space had reached as many as nine hundred and eighty thousand.
He needed less than twenty thousand Harvest Points to upgrade the System Space again.
…
After reviewing his harvest, Lin Jing looked towards the outside valley and then took a step forward.
The next moment,
Lin Jing appeared in the airspace above the valley.
The valley was no longer the same as when Lin Jing first entered; it had become extremely desolate.
The colorful auspicious clouds in the sky had also disappeared, revealing a grey, murky sky, and even the colorful mist that had previously been outside the valley had vanished completely.
The entire Five Elements Territory was enveloped in a grey fog.
Looking around the entire valley, Lin Jing finally turned towards the statue of the Five Elements Ancestor.
There was nothing left in the valley.
It was time for him to leave.
Following that,
Lin Jing bowed respectfully to the statue of the Five Elements Ancestor, then turned around, planning to step into the Teleportation Array and leave the place.
But just as he was about to leave, a sudden change occurred…
The Formation in the valley below began to emit a strong light.
It seemed, from the outside, that someone was activating the Formation, attempting to enter.
At this moment, that someone was still trying to enter here, which was indeed odd.
Lin Jing then looked towards the Formation in the valley.
The light emitted by the Formation grew stronger and stronger, and within that light, a figure slowly became visible.
After the figure appeared, the light from the Formation immediately dimmed.
When the teleportation light completely disappeared, Lin Jing could clearly see the figure within the light.
It was none other than Li Mingwu.
The appearance of Li Mingwu left Lin Jing quite astonished.
He thought that Li Mingwu had stayed in the Water Element Realm, and that he would not meet him again in these Five Elements Ruins.
Unexpectedly, just as he prepared to leave, Li Mingwu appeared again.
Seeing Li Mingwu, Lin Jing couldn’t help but smile.
It seemed this was fate.
His grudge with Li Mingwu was destined to be settled here in these Five Elements Ruins…
