Chapter 129: Extreme Cold

This kid, Gao Sheng, really has a big appetite. Investigate if the Tian Mo Cult Leader is an extraterrestrial devil or an outside Cultivator?

This isn’t aimed at the Tian Mo Cult Leader; it’s clearly aimed at his head.

Lin Jing doesn’t know if the Heavenly Devil Sect belongs to the Cultivators of the Tian Yuan Continent, but he certainly doesn’t—

Don’t end up getting himself involved after all that investigation.

“We’ll talk about this later,” Lin Jing perfunctorily told Gao Sheng.

“You’re not scared, are you?” Gao Sheng nudged Lin Jing with his elbow, transmitting his confident voice.

“With my wisdom and luck.”

Gao Sheng became increasingly confident in his investigative abilities because, during his Foundation Establishment, he cultivated the Acquired Spirit Luck Body using his Family’s secret technique.

Spirit Luck Body, as the name suggests, can make one luckier.

“Scram, you pest!” Lin Jing kicked Gao Sheng back into the Dragon Transformation Blood Pool.

“Think about it again. If it’s really not possible, another case would also work!” Gao Sheng was persistent.

Just then, Divine Pine transmitted, “After the Autumn Hunt ends, you will go to the Sky Domain.”

Lin Jing:???

Lin Jing’s mouth twitched. “Divine Pine Senior, have you been taken over by Gao Sheng?”

“The Tian Mo Cult Leader is at least a Dao Inquiry Stage mighty figure. How could his secrets be something that we, mere Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, can uncover?”

“If it were a case like Snow Moon City where we could fish with Longevity Blood, that would be one thing—”

“Bah,” Divine Pine transmitted, “I’m talking about something else.”

“It’s time for you to consider cultivating an Ice Soul Gu.”

“After the Pine Leaf Squirrel reaches Foundation Establishment, then it will be the Ice Soul Gu’s turn for Foundation Establishment!”

“With its Aptitude and Bloodline, you don’t need to prepare any extra treasures to enhance its Bloodline, and you wouldn’t find them anyway. However, the Ice Soul Gu is an Incarnation of ice and snow. To allow it to perfectly reach Foundation Establishment, you should choose an extremely cold place with abundant ice and snow power.”

“The Barren Domain and Sky Domain are adjacent to the ‘Snowfield.’ If you want to find a top-grade cold attribute location, you can only go to these two domains.”

“Coincidentally, I know of an extremely cold place in the Sky Domain that is suitable for the Ice Soul Gu’s Foundation Establishment. I will accompany you there then.”

Lin Jing nodded.

“So that’s how it is.”

Then, Lin Jing tentatively asked, “Divine Pine Senior, is the Tian Mo Cult Leader—really from outside this world?”

Pine Cone pondered for a moment: “I also know about the Heavenly Devil Sect ruins that kid mentioned.”

“A mighty figure from an Ancient Kingdom established a special space-time Formation at the Heavenly Devil Sect ruins, allowing low-level Cultivators to dream back to ancient times and explore the Heavenly Devil Sect.”

“That Soul Transformation brat probably wants to investigate this way.”

“Since it was worth so much effort for an Ancient Kingdom to establish a space-time Formation, it indicates that the Tian Mo Cult Leader might truly not be a Cultivator from the Tian Yuan Continent.”

“It is said that below the Immortal Realm, there are numerous Immortal Cultivation Worlds, and the Tian Yuan Continent is one of them. The ultimate goal of Cultivators in each Immortal Cultivation World is to Ascend to the Immortal Realm and become an Immortal who lives forever.”

“And because of special reasons on our Tian Yuan Continent, the Ascension Path has been cut off. So, it’s understandable why some people are so eager to explore the secrets of the Tian Mo Cult Leader.”

“After all, just because our Tian Yuan Continent’s Ascension Path is broken doesn’t mean the Ascension Paths of other Immortal Cultivation Worlds are also broken.”

“If the Tian Mo Cult Leader came from another Immortal Cultivation World, then it means Cultivators from the Tian Yuan Continent can go to other Immortal Cultivation Worlds to Ascend!”

“Perhaps the Heavenly Devil Sect was the first to be annihilated by an Ancient Kingdom precisely because the Ancient Kingdom wanted to know the method of crossing worlds.”

“Of course, these are all just my guesses. After all, when the Heavenly Devil Sect was destroyed, this old man hadn’t even developed sentience. The waters here are too deep,

There are too many secrets. Even if you uncover everything, it has little to do with you, a small Qi Condensation Cultivator. Let that Gao Sheng go play by himself.”

Lin Jing expressed understanding, letting Gao Sheng go play by himself. He had no thoughts about Ascension.

The Autumn Hunt lasted for about a month.

For a month, the Dragon Palace Elders did not leave the blood pool a single step, cultivating diligently there.

As the blood pool’s effects weakened, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to wander around, but that they didn’t dare to move.

Everyone saw the Pine Leaf Squirrel snatching a pile of things back.

The robbed individuals couldn’t do anything to Lin Jing or the Pine Leaf Squirrel, but could they still do nothing to them?

Soaking in the blood pool was also not bad, so everyone simply soaked for a month, cultivating diligently while sitting cross-legged in the blood pool.

Besides them, Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Squirrel also did not leave this place.

During this period, the entire Dragon Transformation Blood Pool almost dried up. In return, Lin Jing harvested a large number of mosquito eggs, thousands of them.

He was constantly doing this, hatching mosquito larvae while exploring the limits of the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle.

As for the Pine Leaf Squirrel, it was also tinkering in the gourd with its only legitimate harvest from this trip!

Devouring the life force of the fourth-grade Fierce Plant, Raining Guanyin, to Cultivate the Azure Emperor Longevity Art!

Until the Autumn Hunt ended, beams of light descended from the sky, teleporting the participating students back to Hidden Dragon Academy.

Inside the academy, on Teleportation Mountain, the original location, figures descended one after another. Compared to when they went to the Cang Mang Mountains, many people looked considerably more haggard.

Only the members of the Dragon Palace looked radiant, having encountered almost no setbacks and gaining considerable Opportunities, their strength greatly increased.

The older students who originally looked down on this new organization now had ugly expressions, especially their gazes towards Lin Jing, which were filled with resentment.

Most of them had their belongings stolen—and had no power to take them back. “Hehe,” Lin Jing felt the unfriendly gazes and smiled faintly, “Don’t look at me like that. My Pet Beast,

was just playing a joke with everyone. Since we’re all classmates, I will return your Magic Treasures.”

“Really?! Is my Dao Companion still perfectly preserved?” a young Cultivator with a buzz cut exclaimed in surprise.

This person was a Disciple of the Divine Observation Sect, cultivating the Dao of Visualization. Lin Jing fell silent, seemingly knowing whose Fairy painting that was.

Only Cultivators who practice the Dao of Visualization could make a painting vividly reappear in their minds.

“Naturally.” Lin Jing waved his hand, and the expressions of many Geniuses softened.

Of course, some Geniuses who were robbed remained indifferent, turning and leaving.

“Brother Xu, I’ll leave it to you.”

“Any classmate who wants to redeem their Magic Treasure, you handle it as you see fit.” Lin Jing patted Xu Zhizhi’s shoulder, then transformed into a long rainbow and flew away. A month had passed; he wondered if Dragon Carp was doing well, and if it was lonely.

“What? Redeem? Our own things, and we have to redeem them?” After Lin Jing left, the scene immediately erupted into chaos, and Xu Zhizhi wiped his sweat.

“I’ll also join the Dragon Palace! Can you return my Magic Treasure? My Magic Treasure and Spirit Stones were all stolen. I spent the Autumn Hunt avoiding Yao Beasts; how could I have resources to redeem anything!!!”

The teachers who had not gone to the Cang Mang Mountains and had stayed in the academy were baffled by this situation. What was going on?

“Hehe—” The teachers who followed back from the Cang Mang Mountains had calm expressions, knowing that soon, with the update of the heavenly pride ranking, Lin Jing’s name

would completely spread throughout the Ancient Kingdom.
