Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 320: Chapter 22: Entering the Trial Grounds

Although the Dao Transformation Divinity Technique was formidable, it wasn’t something Lin Jing could cultivate at the moment.

The minimum requirement for its cultivation was also the Golden Core Stage.

Moreover, to differentiate and control the divided spirits used for controlling avatars, one would at least need the cultivation of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Divinity Transformation Stage…

Given Lin Jing’s aptitude, even with the help of the System Space, it was estimated that much time would be needed to reach it.

Thus, after briefly understanding the Dao Transformation Divinity Technique, Lin Jing set it aside and did not pay attention to it anymore.

After putting away the Dao Transformation Divinity Technique, Lin Jing took out the Lin Family’s Pill Dao.

Ever since merging it into one, Lin Jing had never opened it.

Now, everything had been sorted out.

He could now take it out and look at it in detail.

Subsequently,

Lin Jing directly sat cross-legged in the Alchemy Room within the System Space, took out the Jade Slip of the Lin Family’s Pill Dao, and then delved his Divine Sense into it…

As soon as Lin Jing’s Divine Sense entered it, he discovered some situations.

Within this Jade Slip, there were actually some messages left behind by the Ancestor of the Lin Family…

“Descendants of the Lin Family, I, the sinner of the Lin Family, Lin Feiling, here…”

…

…

Upon seeing this, Lin Jing knew that this was indeed the last words left by the true Ancestor of the Lin Family.

Lin Jing then continued to read downward…

“To resolve the family’s predicament, I had no choice but to seek an old friend from many years ago, who would have thought…”

…

…

Lin Jing frowned and continued reading down until an hour later, when he finally finished the messages left by the Ancestor of the Lin Family.

The rest of the last words were not much different from what the remnant soul had said.

Its method of deceiving Lin Jing involved impersonating the position of the Ancestor of the Lin Family, with most of what was said being true.

However, it was precisely because it was true that it was the most deceiving.

Fortunately, Lin Jing was quite alert and maintained his vigilance, which prevented the remnant soul from succeeding.

Apart from some information about the Lin Family, the message left by the Ancestor of the Lin Family also surprisingly contained some information about the Trial Grounds.

At the end, the Ancestor of the Lin Family had also attempted to enter the Trial Grounds and recorded some situations that he knew about inside the Trial Grounds as well.

This took Lin Jing by surprise.

Having the information about the Trial Grounds could save Lin Jing a lot of trouble.

Lin Jing learned from the messages left by the Ancestor of the Lin Family that the Trial Grounds varied in difficulty according to each person’s cultivation.

Inside the Trial Grounds, spells are completely absent, and one must have extremely high Body Refinement cultivation and strong Divine Sense power.

The trials within the Trial Grounds target both Divine Sense and physique.

This was also why the Ancestor of the Lin Family had kept the “Dao Transformation Divinity Technique” and the “Overlord Divine Physique” cultivation methods in the bloodline heritage secret box.

And the time when this trial opens is only on the night of the full moon when moonlight shines on the pond.

Each month, there is only such one opportunity.

If failed, one will be teleported out and can only enter again the next full moon night to challenge it.

Moreover, only by passing this trial can one leave the Immortal Crossing Island.

After understanding the rules of the Trial Grounds, Lin Jing first pondered for a while.

After reflecting, he continued to review the Lin Family’s Pill Dao…

Now that the Pill Dao had merged into one, when Lin Jing looked at it again, he no longer felt the intense dizziness from before.

This time, Lin Jing spent a good half of the day reading it before reluctantly putting away the Jade Slip.

After reviewing this Pill Dao, Lin Jing could only say that the pill Dao of the Lin Family was truly extraordinary.

Subsequently, Lin Jing also put away the Lin Family’s Pill Dao.

Right now, his main priority was figuring out how to leave Immortal Crossing Island; as for the Pill Dao, that could wait until he was out.

After putting away the Lin Family’s Pill Dao, Lin Jing picked up the last Jade Slip, which was the Overlord Divine Physique, and then delved his Divine Sense into it.

However, just seeing the brief description, Lin Jing couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

This Body Refining Technique was quite extraordinary.

But to cultivate this Overlord Divine Physique, it required a substantial amount of Spiritual Power.

This technique required condensing one’s own Spiritual Power into 108 acupoints throughout the body, then using the Overlord Divine Physique technique to temper the Spiritual Power within these acupoints.

After tempering is complete, the refined Spiritual Power must be dispersed throughout the body and integrated within.

Just like enhancing cultivation, it steadily increases the strength of one’s body.

And, during this condensation, it utilizes one’s own cultivation.

That means, to enhance the Overlord Divine Physique, one’s own cultivation must be consumed, which in severe cases, might even cause one’s cultivation realm to fall.

This was quite distressing.

Lin Jing’s cultivation speed was not very fast to begin with; he had only reached his current cultivation by continuously consuming Flawless Elixirs.

If he were to cultivate this Overlord Divine Physique, his cultivation speed would likely slow down even more.

However, the Overlord Divine Physique did have advantageous aspects, that is…

It can be cultivated concurrently with other Body Refinement Techniques and does not conflict with them.

Especially when cultivated to the end, the Overlord Divine Physique could even directly withstand the spells and Divine Skills of top cultivators with the body alone.

By the time he reached the end, Lin Jing had finally understood.

This Overlord Divine Physique was in fact equivalent to another cultivation method, but this method only refined the physique and not the spell techniques.

However, cultivating this method still consumed cultivation.

If one were to cultivate this method and then another, it meant that a cultivator had to put in twice the effort to reach the progress of a regular cultivator.

But the benefits were also obvious.

A person who cultivated two methods would definitely be much stronger than one who cultivated just one.

If two cultivators of the same realm practiced two methods, one could easily defeat the other without much effort.

In the end, after much contemplation.

Lin Jing decided to set aside the Overlord Divine Physique for now, as he currently had the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique to cultivate first.

If it really didn’t work out, then he would try cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique.

……

Since resolving the remnant soul issue, Lin Jing had settled down by this pond.

Most of the time, he was cultivating the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique.

This Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique, as the name suggests.

Required seven refinements, each one pushing the body’s resilience to a new level.

By the time he reached the final refinement, Lin Jing’s body would be as durable as tempered steel, indestructible.

If he reached the seventh refinement, even the flying swords of Foundation Establishment Cultivators could be resisted with his body.

However, although the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique could fend off physical attacks, it was powerless against cultivators’ spell attacks.

Fortunately, this technique was not hard to cultivate. In just over two months, Lin Jing had already reached the third level.

……

Time passed quickly, and several more days had gone by.

It was another night of a full moon.

Lin Jing was already prepared early on.

This time, he planned to enter the Trial Grounds to seek adventures.

When night fell and the moon climbed the tree branches, Lin Jing, who had rested fully, came out from the System Space.

At this moment, after a day’s rest, Lin Jing was in prime condition.

Arriving at the pond, Lin Jing immediately saw the entrance to the Trial Grounds reflected on the surface of the water.

The Trial Grounds were the same as what he had seen before, filled with pervasive yellow sand, obscuring visibility.

Then, Lin Jing soared up and flew towards the entrance of the Trial Grounds.

As Lin Jing flew above the pond’s entrance to the Trial Grounds, ripples spread out just like breaking the surface of the water…

And Lin Jing, as if sinking through the water, slowly entered the Trial Grounds.

Upon entering the Trial Grounds, Lin Jing was immediately battered by the fierce winds, making it difficult for him to stand stable.

The wind inside was much more severe than the desert outside.

This wind carried countless sand particles and small rocks.

Even with the third level of the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique, when those particles and rocks struck Lin Jing, he still felt some pain.

Lin Jing couldn’t help furrowing his brows.

If this was just the beginning of the Trial Grounds, how much more intense would it be further inside?

However, after frowning, Lin Jing then stepped forward and continued onward.

He definitely wouldn’t retreat just because of this little difficulty.

The Trial Grounds, just like the desert outside, appeared vast.

But since entering, Lin Jing had felt an obscure guidance directing him forward.

Lin Jing followed this guidance, taking steps forward.

In this manner, he walked for half an hour.

Lin Jing was now advancing against the sandstorm.

Moreover, each step forward was incredibly difficult.

The sand and rocks lifted by the fierce wind, as they scourged Lin Jing’s body, left scratch marks.

Keep in mind, Lin Jing was at the third level of the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique, and his body was comparable to ordinary metal.

Yet, even then…

It could still be scratched by sand and rocks, showing just how fierce the winds inside the Trial Grounds were.

And he hadn’t even truly reached the trial area yet, only by crossing this desert region could one arrive at the actual Trial Grounds to begin the trial.

Afterwards, Lin Jing continued forward.

Another half an hour later, Lin Jing finally walked out of the sandstorm area.

At this point, Lin Jing’s clothes were tattered, hanging on his body, and his body was covered with wounds, with blood seeping from them.

Within the Trial Grounds, there was no Spiritual Power, nor could any spells be used.

Originally, after covering most of the distance, Lin Jing had planned to use a Spiritual Shield to fend off the sandstorm.

However, as soon as the Spiritual Shield formed, it immediately dissipated.

It couldn’t provide any protection at all.

This was why Lin Jing arrived here covered in scars.

After leaving the sandstorm area, a stele appeared in front of Lin Jing, and behind it was a towering platform constructed from countless yellow-brown boulders.

This platform was rectangular, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, with a wide, large staircase leading from the base directly to the top of the platform.

At the top of the platform, it was shrouded in mist, and Lin Jing, standing below, couldn’t see anything.
