Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 315: Chapter 17: Goodbye, Secret Box

When viewed from Observation Mode, the distance didn’t seem too far, but only when Lin Jing truly began the trek did he finally realize the hardship of this distance.

By the time he had left the sandstorm zone and reached the oasis, Lin Jing’s Spiritual Power was once again exhausted.

However, fortunately at this time, he had already arrived in the oasis area.

In this oasis area, there were no sandstorms, and even the climate here wasn’t as scorching as before.

Lin Jing turned back and looked, only to see that behind him, the wild wind was still rampaging, forming a chaotic storm zone in front of the oasis.

But in the oasis itself, and the area before it, there was a gentle breeze blowing.

It formed a stark contrast with the storm behind.

It was as if, the sandstorm area behind was the true Trial Grounds.

But Lin Jing knew that it definitely was not.

Because, with his level of Cultivation, he had managed to get through.

Not to mention others.

Afterwards, Lin Jing turned his head, looked towards the oasis, and walked in.

Surrounding the oasis, various trees gathered around, and at its very center was a clear spring.

Seeing that clear spring, Lin Jing headed straight for the oasis.

Suddenly.

His foot slipped, and he staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

Lin Jing steadied himself and quickly looked down.

Just beside Lin Jing’s foot, at the spot he had just stepped on, a skull had appeared.

And moreover.

It was a human skull, almost jade-like in quality, exuding an indescribable and enigmatic aura.

Clearly, the owner of this skull must have been extraordinary in life.

Just then, a surge of Divine Sense fluctuations suddenly transmitted into Lin Jing’s mind:

“Save… save me…!”

Hearing the psychic call, Lin Jing’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.

“Is this… someone…?”

Lin Jing thought to himself while a sense of vigilance instantly arose.

Whoever could appear here was no ordinary person,

At the same time, Lin Jing also remembered something.

Something a senior had entrusted to him before leaving.

“In this desert, there is a remnant Soul Spirit. No matter what it says, do not believe it, and remember to stay away from it…”

That was what the senior had instructed Lin Jing, although at the time the situation was urgent and the senior didn’t elaborate further.

Thinking of this, Lin Jing’s frown deepened.

“Could it be that this voice transmitting to me is that remnant Soul Spirit?” Lin Jing couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Jing decided it was best to bypass this area for now.

Since the senior had already warned him, it meant that this remnant Soul Spirit was extremely troublesome and very likely to pose a threat to him.

With this thought, Lin Jing turned around and was about to leave.

However, seeing Lin Jing planning to leave, the Divine Sense transmission came again.

“Fellow… fellow daoist…”

“Save… save me…”

“Surely… fellow… daoist also… wants to get… out…”

“I… have a… method… out…”

The transmission was intermittent, indicating that the person behind this transmission was extremely weak at the moment and had no potential to threaten him.

Hearing this, Lin Jing stopped in his tracks but did not approach.

“I am… trapped in… a water… pool…, as long as… fellow daoist… saves me… out, I will certainly… repay you heavily…”

Seeing that Lin Jing was not moving forward, the Divine Sense transmission continued to speak.

Hearing this, Lin Jing then turned around and left the oasis.

This oasis, he could not go to just yet.

Seeing Lin Jing intending to leave, the Divine Sense transmission seemed somewhat agitated and hurriedly transmitted again:

“Fellow… fellow daoist…”

“`

“I can… swear by my… soul spirit… that as long as you… rescue… me… I assure you… I will not… be of harm… to the fellow daoist… and will help… the fellow daoist… escape this… Immortal-crossing… Island…”

“Otherwise, I shall… surely perish… under the… Heavenly Tribulation…”

The voice was broken and intermittent, growing fainter as Lin Jing moved away.

It was as though the person transmitting the sound was indeed weak to the point of being on the brink of soul spirit dispersion.

Nevertheless, the person’s daring to swear by their soul spirit made Lin Jing somewhat skeptical.

Because to swear by the soul spirit was not merely talk; if one were to break such a soul oath, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation they faced would double, dooming them to a terrible death under it.

Lin Jing hesitated only for a moment before continuing to leave the area.

Had it not been for the prior warning from Elder Yuan, Lin Jing might really have considered going in to check the situation.

But with Elder Yuan’s warning in mind, Lin Jing naturally wouldn’t be so reckless.

“To… leave… you must… pass through… the pond…”

Seeing that Lin Jing was actually leaving,

The final part of the transmission from the soul spirit seemed to expend the last bit of its power, and arrived at Lin Jing’s ears extremely weak, almost inaudible.

This time, Lin Jing didn’t stop, continuing to walk outward.

The soul spirit transmitted no more messages.

After leaving, Lin Jing did not go far.

Instead, he re-entered the storm, once again entering the System Space amidst the rolling yellow sand.

Upon entering the System Space, Lin Jing began meditating again to restore his spiritual power.

……

Similarly, after six hours passed, Lin Jing’s spiritual power was fully restored.

He was half-doubtful, half-believing in the words of that soul spirit.

It had said, to leave one must pass through the pond.

Frankly, Lin Jing was rather disinclined to believe it.

But what if…

Lin Jing had to explore it by himself.

To say “explore by himself” actually meant to utilize the Observation Mode of the System Space, to delve in and observe thoroughly.

With such a powerful system function, of course, he would use it if he could.

Then, Lin Jing exited the System Space, erected a spiritual shield, and reappeared in the midst of the storm.

Once out, Lin Jing changed direction and once more headed towards the oasis.

After walking out of the sandy area and moving some distance, feeling it was sufficiently safe, Lin Jing entered the System Space again.

“Enter Observation Mode.”

After entering the System Space, Lin Jing immediately activated Observation Mode.

Shortly after, the scene before Lin Jing’s eyes began to blur and change, and soon he found himself observing the outside world.

Next, Lin Jing controlled the observational perspective, probing towards the oasis ahead.

This oasis, when spoken of, was not very large.

As the observation perspective advanced, Lin Jing noticed many skeletons on the ground.

Like the jade-like skull Lin Jing had encountered before, several more were at the edge of this pond.

Clearly, these individuals had been extremely powerful in life, but had met their end here.

Lin Jing didn’t concern himself with these skeletons, instead directing the observation perspective deeper into the pond.

The waters of the pond were crystal clear, even underwater vision was hardly affected.

Lin Jing changed direction, exploring beneath the pond.

Quickly, Lin Jing discovered something unusual.

At the depths of the pond, two skeletons sat cross-legged.

One of the skeletons had dim lights flickering in its eye sockets, radiating faint glimmers.

If nothing was amiss, this would likely be the person who had transmitted the messages.

The other skeleton, also seated cross-legged on the ground,

had an enigmatic box on its lap, round on top and square at the base.

This box was very familiar to Lin Jing.

Because within the round pattern on the box, one could vaguely make out the character ‘Lin’…
