Chapter 512: Chapter 205: Entering the Main Hall, Obtaining the Jade Slip (2-in-1 Part 2)
Lin Jing, during this investigation, did indeed obtain some useful information.
At the very least, Lin Jing now knew that the disturbance affected only those whose cultivation was below the Divinity Transformation Stage; anyone with a lower cultivation level could not sense it.
If Lin Jing had left immediately after probing the Island Master of True Dragon Island, he might have been misled and made the wrong choices.
Fortunately, Lin Jing was prudent and decided to probe Li Mingwu once more.
Now, Lin Jing knew exactly what to say once the black fog dispersed.
Lin Jing stayed with Li Mingwu for a while, until Li Mingwu began to sit in meditation. Realizing he would not gain any more useful information, Lin Jing left using the Observation Mode.
After leaving the proximity of the Formation Eye where Li Mingwu was, Lin Jing did not hesitate and immediately probed towards the final Five Elements main hall.
The Five Elements main hall was located right behind the plaza, very close to where everyone was.
Thus, within just two breaths, Lin Jing controlled the observational viewpoint and arrived at the Five Elements main hall.
The main hall of the Five Elements was very spacious, with eight pillars thick enough to require three men to encircle, supporting the entire structure.
In the very center of the hall stood a lifelike statue of an elder with his hands crossed over his chest.
The visage was quite kind and benevolent, resembling an elderly man who seemed extremely protective of his juniors.
Moreover, the clothing on the statue was very plain and seemed to belong to an era long past, not to the current one.
Besides this statue, there were three podiums in front of it.
These three podiums were not much different from those Lin Jing had seen in the other two annex halls.
However, unlike the annex halls, on top of these podiums in the main hall were three Jade Slips.
The Formation protecting these three podiums emitted a five-colored radiance as well.
After reviewing the front, Lin Jing then controlled the observational viewpoint to probe behind the statue.
He saw that behind the statue was a Formation several meters in diameter.
This Formation, shaped like a five-pointed star, had a small Formation Eye at each direction, and those Formation Eyes were shaped exactly like the Five Elements Command Token.
Furthermore.
This Formation also appeared very ancient, out of place with the rest of the hall, as if the hall was built later solely to protect this Formation.
It seems that this Formation might be the Teleportation Array leading to the Five Elements relic.
After observing the entire hall, Lin Jing found that, apart from the Formation at the podium, there was nothing unusual, likely just like in the other two annex halls, with no danger present.
Having assured there was no danger, Lin Jing exited Observation Mode and once again used Fixed Point Teleportation to teleport into the main hall of the Five Elements Cave Mansion.
Upon arriving inside the hall, Lin Jing walked directly towards the podium. The Formation at this podium, with its five-colored lights flowing, seemed even more difficult to decipher than the one in the Wood Hall.
Lin Jing circled around the entire podium, and upon returning to the front of it, his brow furrowed involuntarily.
He didn’t dare to recklessly try this podium yet.
The wild surge of wood-attributed Spiritual Power he encountered earlier at the Wood Hall podium had already injured him.
Now, the podium inside this main hall could be even more dangerous, and if he wasn’t careful, he might get severely injured or even die.
After observing the Formation at the podium for a long time, Lin Jing couldn’t find a solution for the moment.
Afterward, Lin Jing lifted his head and took a long breath.
Then he began to ponder with a frown.
It was at this moment, as Lin Jing’s gaze met the crossed hands of the statue, that he noticed something within the crossed hands emitting a glow.
Next, Lin Jing took a step forward and approached the statue.
The statue was several meters tall, with the crossed hands alone over half a meter high.
Lin Jing came in front of the statue’s chest and looked into its hands.
There, he saw a multi-colored Formation only a few inches big, and within the Formation was a Treasure Orb emitting five-colored light.
The light Lin Jing had seen was radiating from the Treasure Orb, and through the glow, he could see two lines of small characters engraved on the statue’s fingers by the Formation.
“The treasures on the stone platform below are left for the inheritors of the Five Elements. They can only be accessed with the ‘Immortal Five Elements Technique’ in combination with the Five Elements Treasure Orb. To break the Formation of the Treasure Orb, only the ‘Immortal Five Elements Technique’ is effective; any other Cultivation Technique will be ineffective.”
“`
“If not an inheritor of the Five Elements, the treasure might as well be useless, let those who see know this…”
It seems that to break this formation, one must use the Immortal Five Elements Technique.
Afterward, Lin Jing took a moment to examine the formation.
Having examined it, Lin Jing resolved to first try using the Immortal Five Elements Technique.
Following that.
Lin Jing activated the Immortal Five Elements Technique and extended his spiritual power towards the formation.
The spiritual power Lin Jing mustered with the Immortal Five Elements Technique was immediately drawn to the formation as he approached, and directly penetrated into it.
Indeed.
Using the Immortal Five Elements Technique truly had an effect.
As Lin Jing’s spiritual power entered the formation, it became more active.
Seeing this, Lin Jing didn’t stop but continued to channel spiritual power into the formation using the Immortal Five Elements Technique.
Thus, as Lin Jing channeled more and more spiritual power, he began to feel a slight connection with the formation.
Lin Jing felt that he was gradually building a connection with the formation, which was growing stronger and stronger.
Additionally, Lin Jing had a feeling that he might be able to control this formation.
With this feeling, Lin Jing then sent out his Divine Sense towards the formation, and as his Divine Sense probed, the spiritual power within the formation, along with the formation patterns, all started to become active.
Feeling this active spiritual power, Lin Jing willed his heart, and then controlled the spiritual power within the formation to try opening it.
This time, Lin Jing opened the formation effortlessly.
As the formation opened, the Five Elements Treasure Orb floated out and drifted toward Lin Jing.
When the multicolored orb floated in front of Lin Jing, he reached out and grasped the treasure orb in his hand.
At that moment, the Five Elements Treasure Orb lay quietly in Lin Jing’s hand.
Having obtained the orb, Lin Jing returned to the stone platform near the statue.
Upon reaching the platform, Lin Jing chose one of them and then brought out the Five Elements Treasure Orb, activated the Immortal Five Elements Technique, and probed towards the formation.
Lin Jing concentrated his spiritual power, channeled it through the Five Elements Treasure Orb, and fed it into the formation.
This time, Lin Jing’s spiritual power entered the formation through the Five Elements Treasure Orb, and the formation didn’t exhibit any anomalies.
Moreover.
There was no violent shaking this time.
Thus, Lin Jing continued to feed spiritual power into the formation on the platform, and after four hours, the formation gradually faded and then vanished shortly after.
And Lin Jing, as the formation disappeared, successfully obtained the jade slip from the first platform.
Engraved on this jade slip were the words “Cultivation Insights”.
After obtaining the jade slip, Lin Jing didn’t immediately probe it with his Divine Sense.
Instead, after pondering for a moment, he took the jade slip with him into the System Space.
This was out of caution.
Getting the jade slip in this main hall had been too easy, and even Lin Jing felt it was somewhat surreal.
But to prevent any accidents, Lin Jing decided to enter the System Space to examine the jade slip.
After entering System Space, the jade slip didn’t provoke any reaction from the system; it seemed to be without issue.
Therefore, Lin Jing projected his Divine Sense into the jade slip.
No sooner had he probed it than he found the following passage within the jade slip…
“Descendant who cultivates the Immortal Five Elements Technique, obtaining this jade slip means we are fated…”
“Within this jade slip are the cultivation insights I have gathered in my lifetime; with these for reference, you will be spared much trouble as a junior disciple.”
“Consider this a fulfillment of my duty to the Five Elements Ancestor who left behind this technique…”
