?Chapter 770: Chapter 341 End of the Road Chapter 770: Chapter 341 End of the Road After hearing Lin Jing’s words, Li Mingwu was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized what was going on and couldn’t help but look behind Lin Jing at the statue of the Five Elements Ancestor:
“I understand now…”
“It’s the inheritance, you’ve received the inheritance of the Five Elements Ancestor.”
“Only in this way could you have advanced so rapidly in cultivation in such a short period of time.”
Having said that, Li Mingwu stared intently at Lin Jing, hoping to find confirmation on his face.
However, Lin Jing merely hooked the corner of his mouth in a smile and did not refute.
Seeing Lin Jing’s tacit acknowledgment, Li Mingwu’s heart immediately sank.
He hadn’t expected that within the Five Elements Territory, there would be such amazing benefits.
Benefits that allowed Lin Jing, a seventh-layer Divinity Transformation cultivator, to rise to a level far beyond his own reach in just over fifty years.
At this moment, Li Mingwu was filled with regret.
If he had known this would happen, he would have braved the Soul Tomb at the first opportunity and arrived at this place before Lin Jingzhi, no matter what it took.
Even if he couldn’t receive the inheritance of the Five Elements Territory, he couldn’t let Lin Jing have it.
But now it was too late to say anything; Lin Jing had already obtained the inheritance of the Five Elements Territory, and his cultivation had soared drastically because of it.
In Li Mingwu’s eyes, Lin Jing’s cultivation might not have reached the Dao Integration Stage yet, but it was probably not far off.
With his own current level of cultivation, he was definitely no match for Lin Jing, and considering the grudges between the two of them, it was unlikely that Lin Jing would let him off easily.
Thinking of this, Li Mingwu’s brow furrowed deeply.
If he couldn’t think of a proper solution soon, then the Five Elements Territory would become his burial ground.
…
While Li Mingwu was racking his brains, Lin Jing was also observing him carefully.
Lin Jing knew that under these circumstances, Li Mingwu was surely not going to sit and await his fate; he would try by all means to escape from this place.
To do so, he must figure out a way to distract Lin Jing while selecting a route of escape.
And to escape the Five Elements Territory…
Lin Jing then glanced at the Teleportation Array in the valley.
That was the only way out.
The location of the Teleportation Array was not too far from Li Mingwu; with his speed, Li Mingwu could reach it in the blink of an eye.
Lin Jing had just finished his contemplation.
But Li Mingwu seemed to have prepared himself, as he first cleaned the bloodstain on the corner of his mouth and then, unusually calm, walked straight towards Lin Jing.
As Li Mingwu walked towards Lin Jing, he also removed the Space Ring from his hand.
Then, holding the Space Ring, Li Mingwu said to Lin Jing:
“Lin Jing!”
“I apologize for what happened before.”
“Inside this Space Ring are all the treasures I’ve collected over thousands of years.
It contains countless Magical Treasures, precious items, and even a Supreme Grade Longevity Life-Extension Elixir.”
“As an Alchemist, you must have heard of the Longevity Life-Extension Elixir.
It is extremely rare, capable of increasing a cultivator’s lifespan, and exceedingly difficult to refine.”
“One Supreme Grade Longevity Life-Extension Elixir can increase a cultivator’s lifespan by a thousand years.”
“You can rest assured that this Supreme Grade Longevity Life-Extension Elixir is genuine.
Since you’ve seen Ling Yin’s remains, you can probably guess my lifespan.”
“The reason I’ve lived this long is because I took a Supreme Grade Lifespan Extension Pill.”
“As long as you’re willing to let me go, I will give you all the treasures I’ve collected, including that Supreme Grade Lifespan Extension Pill.”
Lin Jing’s gaze remained calm as he looked at Li Mingwu but did not respond.
“If you don’t believe me, I can give you the Space Ring first so that you can check the items inside.”
Having spoken…
????0.??
Li Mingwu promptly started working to remove the seals on the Space Ring; as he continuously formed hand seals, the barriers on the ring began to lift one by one.
With the seal completely lifted, Li Mingwu looked at Lin Jing and said:
“I have fully removed the seal on the Space Ring.
If you’re willing to let me go, everything inside is yours.”
“And after I leave, I will leave the Southern Outer Sea straight away, never to appear again, nor will I pose any threat to you or those around you.”
“I can swear on my Soul Spirit to this.”
After speaking, Li Mingwu frowned slightly as he looked at Lin Jing, waiting for his reaction.
Once Li Mingwu finished speaking, Lin Jing fell into a brief contemplation…
Knowing Li Mingwu as he did, Lin Jing understood Li Mingwu was a person who would not stop until he achieved his goals and such a person would not be willing to be manipulated by others.
Now that Li Mingwu was actively begging for mercy, it was undoubtedly a huge joke to Lin Jing.
However, having lived for thousands of years with complex schemes and myriad tricks, Lin Jing was certain that Li Mingwu must still have a card up his sleeve to save his life, and even with a much higher cultivation level, he could not afford to take it lightly.
After a brief contemplation, Lin Jing thought of a strategy that would turn the tables, prompting Li Mingwu to voluntarily reveal his ace in the hole.
Subsequently…
Lin Jing appeared calm as he looked at Li Mingwu, with eyes so piercing they seemed to see right through him.
A moment later, Lin Jing spoke directly:
“When I was accepting the inheritance of the Five Elements Ancestor, I acquired a method of applying the Soul Spirit.”
“This method allows the Soul Spirit to be implanted deep within a cultivator’s mind; any abnormal movement by the subject would be instantly detected by the practitioner.”
“Moreover, this method was created by the Five Elements Ancestor at the peak of his prowess; unless undone by the practitioner himself, no one else can break it.”
