Chapter 201: Exploration, Five Elements Water Palace (Two in One)
It would take at least three days to stay in this formation, and during this time, we don't know if there will be any accidents.
Lin Jing naturally didn't want to stay in the center of the formation like this.
Since I have nothing to do at this moment, I can use the system's observation mode to explore the outside world.
Lin Jing did it as soon as he thought of it. He then directly called out the system and entered the system space.
After entering the system space, Lin Jing spoke again:
"system!"
"Entering observation mode."
As the words fell, the things in front of Lin Jing began to change, and after a moment, his perspective also appeared above the center of the formation.
At this time, it was still pitch black outside.
The black fog kept rolling, trying to penetrate into the center of the formation, but it was blocked by the light column at the center of the formation and could not enter.
This situation is indeed as Xue Yilin said, the only way to be safe is to stay in this formation.
Before this, Xue Yilin had said that his grandfather had once entered this place with Li Mingwu.
His knowledge of the Five Elements Cave Mansion all came from his grandfather.
From this perspective, the three collapsed Five Elements Halls were probably caused by Li Mingwu's last visit.
The palace covers a total area of hundreds of acres, and the side hall is not far from the main palace square.
In addition to the three collapsed side halls, there are still two intact side halls standing there.
If Lin Jing wanted to go into the side hall, he could just use the fixed-point teleportation function to get in.
I just don't know if there are any other dangers in the Five Elements Hall, and what treasures are there?
Lin Jing was very curious.
Logically speaking, a treasure that could attract the attention of a Divine Transformation cultivator must not be simple.
Thinking of this, Lin Jing was somewhat moved...
"Why not..."
"Just go in and explore using observation mode. If there is no danger, then I can take the treasures inside without paying any price, right?"
After thinking for a while, Lin Jing decided to take action.
Before taking action, in order to avoid unexpected situations, Lin Jing first looked at what others were doing.
Afterwards.
Lin Jing controlled the observation mode and explored other places.
Although in observation mode, Lin Jing's view was obscured by the black fog and he still couldn't see anything.
But Lin Jing already knew the locations of those formation points, so he didn't have to spend much effort to find the other people.
Lin Jing then followed the direction he remembered and went out to observe these people...
Lin Jing first observed the people closest to him.
Some of these people had already started meditating, some were studying the exercises, and some were looking at the black fog outside, wondering what they were thinking.
The monk who was attacked before was like this at this moment.
Standing in the center of the formation, staring at the black fog in front of him, I don't know what he was thinking.
It seems like he is waiting for something...
After observing these people, Lin Jing observed the three island owners again.
The three island masters were relatively calm, all meditating with their eyes closed. Lin Jing also observed the three of them, but did not discover any secrets from them.
So I gave up.
After investigating the three island owners, the only one left was Xue Yilin.
Because the location of Xue Yilin's formation core was a little far from Lin Jing, Lin Jing didn't find it until the end.
When Lin Jing arrived at Xue Yilin's place, he immediately discovered something was wrong.
The black fog near the center of the formation where Xue Yilin was located was surging violently.
Confused, Lin Jing continued to explore inside.
When Lin Jing controlled the observation angle and came to the center of the formation where Xue Yilin was, he immediately understood what was going on.
At this time, in front of Xue Yilin, there was a white token of unknown material floating. In front of the token, there was a formation about ten inches in size suspended in the air.
Furthermore, the white token was now embedded in the formation in the void.
Lin Jing moved closer and could see the words "Five Elements" on the token.
This token was surprisingly similar to the one Lin Jing had received from Lingyin Zhenjun before.
However, the token in Lin Jing's hand was red, while this token was white.
Looking at Xue Yilin himself, he was making hand gestures with both hands, his lips moving slightly, and muttering something.
It seems to be controlling this center of the formation.
As Xue Yilin continued to make incantations, the entire formation center, along with the black light column, continued to expand, and in the end it expanded by more than double.
At this moment, there was a sudden change in the center of the formation, and the formation pattern below the center of the formation began to operate.
After a while, a teleportation array was formed.
When this teleportation array was formed, it immediately began to operate.
At this time, someone actually wants to teleport in?
As the light on the teleportation array in the center of the array grew brighter, a vague figure began to appear in the center of the teleportation array.
As the teleportation array came to an end, a person appeared in the center of the teleportation array.
A person Lin Jing didn't expect.
This person turned out to be the monk who was attacked by the puppet before.
Xue Yilin actually summoned this person over through the teleportation array.
Moreover, after this person was teleported in, he and Xue Yilin were in the same formation center, and there was no problem with the formation center, which still blocked the black fog out.
Lin Jing couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Could it be that Xue Yilin was lying? Could there be more than two people in this light column at the same time?
Just as Lin Jing was puzzled, Xue Yilin's next words shocked Lin Jing.
Xue Yilin bowed his hands and said respectfully to the man:
"Senior Li..."
The monk nodded, and then began to change his appearance. Not long after, he turned into a haggard old man.
Lin Jing was very familiar with this old man. Wasn't he the withered old man that Lin Jing had seen in the Soul Devouring Blood Realm?
It turns out that he is Li Mingwu.
Li Mingwu unexpectedly appeared here, and right under the noses of the three island masters.
Compared to last time, Li Mingwu looked older and more haggard.
Upon closer observation, Lin Jing could also see that his eyes were slightly bloodshot and his complexion was not right, as if he had been injured and had not yet recovered.
Then, Lin Jing changed his perspective and looked at Xue Yilin who was standing beside him.
From Xue Yilin's attitude towards Li Mingwu, it can be seen that this whole thing is closely related to Xue Yilin.
If Xue Yilin hadn't been there as an insider, it would have been difficult for Li Mingwu to get in.
I just don't know what the identity of Xue Yilin is, and how he could hide it from the three island masters, especially Bai Yi.
At this moment, Li Mingwu spoke to Xue Yilin:
"Ling Yi..."
"For so many years, you have been staying by Bai Yi's side in another identity and have done a lot for me. Thank you for your hard work..."
"After this is over, I will advance to the Condensed Body Realm and help you break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm."
Li Mingwu's words shocked Lin Jing again.
Unexpectedly, Xue Yilin was actually the mastermind who tricked them into going to the Soul Devouring Blood Realm, Ling Yi Zhenjun.
In addition, Lin Jing also noticed Li Mingwu's next sentence.
"Advance to the Condensed Body Realm!"
This Condensed Body Realm must be the realm above the Transformation of the Spirit.
Xue Yilin then spoke respectfully, saying:
"Thank you, Senior..."
Li Mingwu nodded slightly, and then said to Xue Yilin, also known as Ling Yizhenjun:
"okay..."
"Let's set off now and head to the Five Elements Water Palace. My injuries can't be delayed for too long."
Xue Yilin nodded, and then said:
"Okay, senior..."
Then, Xue Yilin placed one hand on the token and transferred spiritual power into it.
Then, several white array patterns appeared in the Five Elements Token, connecting to the teleportation array in the center of the array.
The teleportation array under the feet of the two people changed immediately.
Then, the teleportation array lit up again, emitting a black and white light. As the light became stronger and stronger, it became blindingly bright. Suddenly, it flashed, and the two were teleported out.
After the two left, the eyes of the formation regained their calm.
Seeing the two people teleporting away, Lin Jing looked at the empty formation center, hesitated for a moment, and then also controlled the observation angle to leave and explore the Five Elements Water Palace.
Lin Jing wanted to find out what the two of them were going to do.
Lin Jing knew the location of the Five Elements Water Palace by heart. Although the road was covered by black fog and he could not see anything even in observation mode, Lin Jing was sure that he would not make a mistake.
Sure enough, Lin Jing controlled his observation angle and after moving forward for a while, he was almost at the limit of his observation angle, and he finally arrived at the Five Elements Water Palace.
There was no black fog in the Five Elements Water Palace. As soon as Lin Jing entered the Five Elements Water Palace, he saw Li Mingwu and Xue Yilin.
No, there are more than just the two of them, there is another person...
It should be said that it is a dead body.
This corpse is exactly the same as the cultivator that Li Mingwu transformed into before.
Seeing the current situation, it is not difficult to guess.
This monk was most likely attacked and killed by Li Mingwu.
Li Mingwu took his place and followed everyone else into the Five Elements Cave.
Lin Jing couldn't help but think of the attack that happened in the white fog before.
Because of the white fog, vision was obscured, making it extremely difficult to see, and spiritual consciousness was unable to penetrate.
If it was really a sneak attack by Li Mingwu, it would have only happened at that time.
Li Mingwu, a peak Spiritualization cultivator, launched a sneak attack on a Nascent Soul cultivator. It was obvious that he was unable to react in time.
There wasn't even a chance to issue a warning.
That way, it makes sense.
The white mist and the white puppet served as a cover for all this.
But, think about it carefully.
In terms of understanding of the Five Elements Cave, no one can surpass Li Mingwu.
It is estimated that the white mist and the puppet were all prepared in advance. With Xue Yilin, who knows the situation of the Five Elements Cave Mansion, there is an insider, so the three island masters will naturally not suspect anything.
After Li Mingwu's sneak attack, he did not cause much noise, so the monk's body was not dealt with, but was brought to the Five Elements Water Palace.
Just as Lin Jing was thinking and trying to sort out his thoughts.
Xue Yilin attacked directly, condensing a beam of black light and shooting it towards the cultivator's corpse.
The monk's body immediately began to decay, and finally turned into black smoke and disappeared.
Only a set of robes and a space ring were left at the original place.
Xue Yilin then put away the robe and space ring, and handed them directly to Li Mingwu.
Li Mingwu just took a look and then said to Xue Yilin:
"Please put these away..."
"After I get the elixir that can heal my soul from the Five Elements Wood Hall, I will go into seclusion for a while."
"When the time comes, be careful when you handle these things, don't let anyone find out."
"I don't want any accidents to happen before I advance to the Condensation Stage."
Xue Yilin nodded and said:
"Thank you, Senior Li."
After saying that, Xue Yilin put away the space ring and robe.
After putting it away, the two of them walked into the hall.
This Five Elements Water Palace was in the shape of a convex character, and the teleportation array that the two of them had been transported into was located in the upper part of the convex character.
Walking out, you will see the spacious main hall of the Five Elements Water Temple.
In the middle of the hall, there are three platforms, one high and two low, all protected by formations.
Through the formation, Lin Jing could see.
On the higher platform in the middle, there was a token. The token was black and had the words "Five Elements" on it.
This must be the Five Elements Water Order.
On one of the other two slightly lower platforms, there was a pill wrapped in a pure jade box.
The other one is a jade slip of a cultivation technique.
then.
The two of them came to the high platform in the middle, and Li Mingwu took out the five-element token that he had used to teleport and placed it in front of the formation.
Then he urged his own spiritual power to flow into the token, and the white array pattern in the token appeared again, flowing towards the array covering the platform.
The formation was like snow encountering the blazing sun, quickly dissipating.
And the high platform was exposed in front of the two of them.
Then, Li Mingwu reached out and grabbed the token in the middle.
After receiving the token, Li Mingwu raised his lips, staring at the black token in his hand, and said:
"Five Elements Water Order!"
"After many years, I finally got it."
"With this Five Elements Water Token, we can enter the last wooden palace in advance and get the last Five Elements Wood Token, as well as the elixir that can heal my soul injury."
Xue Yilin also spoke at this time and said to Li Mingwu:
"Congratulations, Senior..."
"With these two tokens, you now have three Five Elements Tokens. You only need the last Earth Token and Fire Token to complete the Five Elements Tokens and enter the Five Elements Ruins."
"I heard that in the Five Elements Ruins, there is not only a method to advance to the Condensed Body Realm, but also a rare and precious Fate-Defying Fruit. I wonder if it is true..."
Li Mingwu nodded and said:
"certainly..."
"However, these are all in the innermost part of the Five Elements Ruins. The Five Elements Ruins are extremely dangerous."
"Even if you collect all five Five Elements Tokens and enter the Five Elements Ruins, it's not easy to get them."
At this point, Li Mingwu suddenly changed the subject and asked Xue Yilin:
"correct..."
"Pay attention to the Five Elements Earth Token on Bai Yi's body. If possible, it would be best if you can get it."
"And how are you finding the whereabouts of the Five Elements Fire Token?"
Xue Yilin then spoke:
"Bai Yi knows the function of the Five Elements Earth Order and is particularly concerned about it. It is impossible for me to contact him."
"Unless you recover from your injury, we can find a way to take it from him."
"And the other Five Elements Fire Token..."
At this point, Xue Yilin frowned, and then continued:
"At the beginning, the Five Elements Fire Token was obtained by the severely injured Lingyin Zhenjun."
"When he escaped with serious injuries, we used a special teleportation formation, so we couldn't find out where he was teleported to. It's even possible that he is no longer in the Demon Sea."
"Over the years, I have been trying my best to help you explore..."
