Chapter 71: Triggering The Restriction
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chen Jin ‘an obviously did not have the mood to cultivate anymore. He struggled to get up from the ground and cupped his hands to thank Lin Bai:
“Thank you, little brother. If you don’t mind, this is my waist token. There’s still some time on it. If you want to cultivate, just go ahead. I don’t think that He Linsheng will come again for a short period of time.”
After saying that, he paused and revealed a bitter smile. He muttered to himself, “Anyway, I’ve been cultivating for so long. It doesn’t seem to be of much use…”
Chen Jin ‘an gradually walked further and further away, his back revealing a desolate aura.
By the time Lin Bai came back to his senses, the youth from earlier had already disappeared. He was the culprit who had almost caused a great battle, but now, he had slipped away faster than anyone else.
When did he leave? He actually did not notice. Lin Bai sighed in his heart. There were indeed crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the capital. He just did not know the true ident.i.ty of this young man.
Lin Bai looked at the waist token given to him by Chen Jin ‘an. It was made of top-quality white spirit jade. It felt warm at the touch and looked extremely transparent. Under the sunlight, it was like gla.s.s, emitting a l.u.s.trous glow, “A-1” was engraved on it.
The Spirit Gathering Pavilion used the waist token as proof. After Lin Bai showed it, he was led to the room by a servant. The servant’s footsteps were steady. He seemed to be at Houtian fifth level, almost as good as the ordinary disciples of the four great academies.
However, in the Spirit Gathering Pavilion, he was just a servant who led the way. It made people sigh with admiration at how generous this place was.
When they arrived at Room A 1, Lin Bai, under the guidance of the servant, inserted the jade plate into the groove outside. As the light swirled, a light screen unfolded in front of his eyes. At the same time, he walked in to take a look. There was a completely different world inside.
The furnis.h.i.+ngs were extremely simple. There was only a futon in the middle. Other than that, there was nothing else. However, inside, he could not hear any movement from outside. It was as if he was isolated from the world in a world of his own.
Lin Bai used his spirit sense to probe inside. It was as if he had crashed into a region of chaos. Gray fog covered his surroundings. He did not know what was happening in the next room at all. Moreover, after staying in the fog for a long time, he actually felt like he was about to lose himself.
“Who dares to spy on me? !”
A loud shout was heard. It was different from the voice that had warned He Linsheng and the others outside. It was an extremely old voice that carried a supreme pressure. This time, even Lin Bai felt the pressure.
He hurriedly withdrew his spiritual sense. Even so, it was as if countless densely packed needles had been inserted into his head, almost giving him a splitting headache. His face was deathly pale, and it took him a long time to recover.
“The Spirit Gathering Pavilion’s array formation and enchantment are indeed powerful.”
What Lin Bai didn’t know was that there were many people who had done the same thing as him. After all, many people were cultivating here. In order to get information, people would go to any lengths, wanting to exploit the loopholes in the array formation and enchantment.
Using this to pry into other people’s cultivation methods or secret cultivation manuals, they all came back empty-handed like him. There were even some whose cultivation level dropped drastically. When they asked the Spirit Gathering Pavilion for an explanation, they were only told that they deserved what they got.
In the beginning, there was a faction like this. Their disciples had evil intentions and tried to pry into other people’s secrets. In the end, not only did their cultivation level drop drastically, but they also became delirious. In a fit of anger, they attacked the Spirit Gathering Pavilion. In the end, the faction behind them was also destroyed on the same day.
The means of the person behind the scenes was extremely clean and neat. Although there was no evidence pointing to the Spirit Gathering Pavilion as the culprit, everyone knew what happened in their hearts. From then on, no one dared to provoke the Spirit Gathering Pavilion, nor would they break the taboo.
Lin Bai still did not know that he had wandered around the gates of h.e.l.l again. Seeing that this place was so secretive, he finally relaxed and began to cultivate and meditate. The effect was indeed obvious, and it was even much better than the one on the Red Luan Peak.
Seeing that there was only a bit of time left, he hurriedly summoned Little Green, Little Red, and Little Black.
The three little ones had been suffocating for the past few days. They suddenly came out like wild horses that had gone off the reins.
Little Black and Little Green were fine, but the s.p.a.ce here was too small for Little Red to fly. It couldn’t help but fold its wings and stand there very sullenly. Its eyes revealed an expression of complaint.
“Make do for now. After all, this is a special situation.”
Lin Bai made up his mind. If he were to cultivate, this would indeed be a good place. However, it would be too much for Little Green and the others. He would have to bring them to places like the forest and the wilderness next time.
[ Ding! ]
[ The host has pa.s.sed on his cultivation to Little Black for ten days. ]
[ The 100 times return has been successfully triggered! ]
[ The host has received 1,000 days of cultivation! ]
This time, it was still Little Black. Lin Bai planned to make things with them. The three little ones would cultivate together. Little Black was relatively behind, so he needed to pa.s.s on his cultivation to it a few more times.
At the same time, in a faraway place.
Clouds surrounded the peak of the mountain, and one could reach out to pick the stars and embrace the moon. One could see an ancient tree with intertwined roots. The length of its leaves seemed to be able to soak into the clouds, bathing in the essence of the Sun and the Moon. The radiance flowed, and it looked extraordinary.
The crown was like a cover, and lush colors covered the top. Through the gaps between the leaves, one could vaguely see a figure meditating. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a green leaf slowly fell on his palm.
“Interesting. which reckless person touched the restriction again?”
The corner of his mouth slowly outlined a smile. In an instant, the wind stopped, and the clouds stopped. There was only the whirring sound of the leaves, as if countless people were whispering.
When he went to investigate, he discovered that the strand of spiritual sense had already disappeared without a trace. It was as if what had just happened was just an illusion.
One had to know that this was something that had never happened before.
“That little fellow touched so much that even I could sense it, but I actually couldn’t find his spiritual sense. It seems that his reaction speed is quite fast. It’s just a pity…”
Then, he closed his eyes again.
The wind blew, the clouds moved, and the ancient tree swayed.
