?Chapter 768: Chapter 340: The Resentment with Li Mingwu Chapter 768: Chapter 340: The Resentment with Li Mingwu Lin Jing and Li Mingwu’s grievance can be described as long-standing.
It can be said that soon after he arrived in the Southern Outer Sea, a series of events entangled him with Li Mingwu.
During this period, Li Mingwu, a potential enemy, constantly loomed over Lin Jing, forcing him to act cautiously.
Especially after the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm incident, Lin Jing’s grievances with Li Mingwu, after having truly encountered him for the first time, became irreconcilable.
After that, Lin Jing had been extremely cautious, daring not to expose himself slightly, growing from an original Junior Cultivator at the Golden Core stage to now being at the peak of the Solidifying Body Realm.
This time, in the Five Elements Territory, Lin Jing’s gains were huge, particularly his cultivation, which advanced significantly.
It can be said that with Lin Jing’s current state, Li Mingwu certainly couldn’t reach him.
Now, Li Mingwu had also come to this Five Elements Territory, and it was time to settle their grievances.
…
After teleporting here, Li Mingwu immediately spotted Lin Jing, and showed a moment of astonishment upon seeing him.
Obviously, Li Mingwu hadn’t expected Lin Jing to still be here.
After his initial shock, Li Mingwu quickly recovered and his gaze towards Lin Jing carried that indifference typically seen from higher-echelon cultivators towards those of lower rank.
“I didn’t expect you to still be here, I must say, my luck isn’t too bad.”
“It’s good, actually.
I can settle things with you here instead of having to go out and search for you.”
Since Lin Jing appeared as usual, without showing his true cultivation, Li Mingwu saw him as still unchanged from before.
Yet when Lin Jing looked at Li Mingwu, he noticed his substantial changes.
Firstly, he seemed younger, no longer bearing his previous decrepit form, but rather taking on the appearance of a venerable immortal with youthful features.
Furthermore, it was his cultivation that had changed.
Now Lin Jing saw at a glance that Li Mingwu had successfully advanced, becoming a cultivator at the first level of the Solidifying Body Realm.
If Li Mingwu had advanced to the Solidifying Body Realm, then it meant that Bai Yi was probably in great peril.
After all, for Li Mingwu to advance, he needed to seize the Metallic Attribute Five Elements True Spirit from Bai Yi.
And now…
Li Mingwu having successfully advanced to Solidifying Body, the fate of Bai Yi could be easily surmised.
…
Lin Jing looked at Li Mingwu, completely unruffled, and spoke in an even tone:
“Since you’ve successfully advanced to the Solidifying Body stage, it appears that Bai Yi is probably in great peril.”
Li Mingwu looked at Lin Jing, then his lips slightly curled upwards:
“It seems you are not foolish, you figured out that I’ve advanced to the Solidifying Body stage.”
“Indeed…”
“Bai Yi’s Metallic Attribute Five Elements True Spirit was seized by me, and naturally I wouldn’t let him live.”
“Speaking of which, I really owe him thanks.
The Metallic Attribute Five Elements True Spirit suits me quite well.”
Having said that, Li Mingwu quickly extended his Divine Sense to meticulously probe Lin Jing.
Lin Jing’s current cultivation far surpassed Li Mingwu’s, so even though the latter probed actively, he couldn’t detect anything due to Lin Jing’s deliberate concealment.
After probing, Li Mingwu looked at Lin Jing with disdain, saying:
“You really can pretend…”
“Knowing I’ve advanced to the Solidifying Body stage yet still so calm, I would have thought you too had advanced to the Solidifying Body stage if I hadn’t seen your cultivation remain unchanged.”
“However…”
“No matter how strongly you feign composure, it is useless, for the gap between the Solidifying Body stage and the Divinity Transformation Stage is something you will never understand.”
It was quite normal for Li Mingwu to think this way.
The last time he saw Lin Jing in the Water Element Realm was just over fifty years ago.
?????.??
Back then in the Water Element Realm, Lin Jing was only at the seventh level of the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Now, only a little over fifty years had passed, and Li Mingwu couldn’t believe that Lin Jing might have surpassed him in such a short time.
After finishing his thoughts, Li Mingwu looked coldly at Lin Jing and said:
“Actually, since the very beginning at the Five Elements Palace, I’ve been suspecting whether the uncontrolled burst of the Wooden Attribute Spiritual Power was your doing?”
“And have you been targeting me all along?”
“I couldn’t understand this at first, everything seemed accidental.
But since the last time in the Water Realm when you showed your true power and saved Bai Yi, I’ve been reflecting on past events and slowly piecing things together.”
“Now I think back, several of my plans failed, and it seems you were always involved.”
“Exploring the Five Elements Palace, the Wooden Attribute Spiritual Power I controlled suddenly exploded around me, exposing me and leading to Bai Yi and his companions attacking me, forcing me to flee prematurely.”
“At the trade fair in Bihai City, the Jade Soul Algae I wanted ended up in your hands.”
“Not to mention the Water Element Realm, your schemes against Bai Yi allowed him to escape, forcing me to remain in the Water Realm, missing the appearance of the Soul Tomb.”
“It delayed me by more than fifty years until the Soul Tomb reappeared, allowing me to come here.”
“To say that all these were coincidences would be too much of a coincidence.”
After finishing, Li Mingwu’s gaze became frosty, carrying the unmatched aura of a Solidifying Body cultivator, pressing down on Lin Jing:
“Now, do you still intend to argue?”
Confronted with Li Mingwu’s oppressive aura, Lin Jing remained unfazed.
Instead, he looked at Li Mingwu, his eyes calm, and slowly said:
“Do you know?”
