Chapter 231: 222 Heading to the Cleansing Spirit Pool

Chapter 231: Chapter 222 Heading to the Cleansing Spirit Pool

Lin Jing, upon hearing this, suddenly had an epiphany:

“No wonder it’s like this…”

Then he stepped forward and comforted Huang Qingling:

“Don’t worry, I have talismans with me.”

“Even if Little Sparrow hadn’t come, I could have fought that Demonic Beast.”

“Qingling, you shouldn’t blame yourself…”

Having said this,

Lin Jing quickly changed the subject.

“Shall we just wait here for Elder Master Li and the others to come over like this…” Lin Jing asked.

“Alright…” Huang Qingling replied.

Soon after,

Lin Jing sensed a powerful Divine Sense sweep over him.

“They’re here…”

Huang Qingling lifted her head and said to Lin Jing.

Indeed…

The moment Huang Qingling’s voice fell,

Elder Master Li, along with Li Tangyu and his sister, as well as Zhang Yuan, arrived at the scene.

Upon seeing the two,

Li Tangyu said with a smile:

“You two are quite lucky to have been teleported together…”

Lin Jing then explained.

“Li brother, you’re mistaken…”

“We were separated when we entered; it was Little Sparrow who found me…”

No sooner had Lin Jing finished speaking than Huang Qingling continued:

“Lin Jing was attacked by a Demonic Beast; thankfully, Little Sparrow arrived in time…”

“Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Hearing this, everyone quickly turned their gaze to Lin Jing.

The smile on Li Tangyu’s face also instantly vanished, and he quickly asked:

“What exactly happened?”

Lin Jing hurriedly said:

“Actually, it’s nothing…”

“I just encountered a Foundation Establishment Stage Demonic Beast. While I was confronting it, Little Sparrow arrived and killed the beast on the spot.”

Lin Jing simply relayed the incident,

Without mentioning the previous sneak attack by the beast.

Upon hearing this…

Even Elder Master Li fell into deep thought.

Because the place where they had just been teleported into was the outer edge of the Secret Realm, and the Demonic Beasts here were not very strong.

Previously, when they had been teleported in, there had been no incidents of Demonic Beasts actively attacking people.

So…

They subconsciously overlooked this point.

“This time, it was my negligence…”

“I forgot that your cultivation was too low, and it was very likely that Demonic Beasts would attack you.”

Elder Master Li frowned and spoke.

Lin Jing then said:

“Elder Li, it’s not a big deal…”

“I’m carrying some Second Rank talismans. Even if I can’t beat the beast, protecting myself is not a problem.”

Elder Master Li nodded his head.

Fortunately, Lin Jing was unharmed…

If Lin Jing had died in the jaws of a Demonic Beast right after entering the Secret Realm, he feared he would have trouble explaining it to Elder Bai and Elder Yu.

“Alright, let’s go…”

Afterwards,

They all proceeded together toward the front.

At this moment,

Walking through the jungle, Lin Jing finally had the leisure to feel the atmosphere of this Demon Race Secret Realm.

Here, it was somewhat different from the outside world.

The Spiritual Energy was much denser than in the outside world, and that wasn’t all…

Inside this Secret Realm, there seemed to be a special kind of aura; it was not greatly affecting them,

But…

Little Sparrow was clearly much more active here than in the outside world, continuously circling around them.

It was as if this was its true home.

The group continued their journey through the dense forest.

The forest was vast, and after walking for most of the day, the environment around them hardly changed. If it weren’t for the slight increase in the density of the Spiritual Energy…

Lin Jing even wondered if they were lost and going in circles.

It was at this moment…

That Li Tangyu slowed down, approached Lin Jing, and said:

“Brother Lin…”

“Since it’s your first time here, you probably aren’t aware…”

“We’ll have to walk for at least two days to reach the Cleansing Spirit Pool this time.”

Startled, Lin Jing responded to Li Tangyu’s words.

Then he turned his head to Li Tangyu, confused,

“Does it really take that long?”

Li Tangyu nodded:

“Yes…”

“This Demon Race Secret Realm is huge, almost like a small world.”

“As far as I know…”

“There are still many places within this secret realm that remain unexplored.”

“Exactly how big the entire secret realm is, nobody knows to this day.”

After hearing Li Tangyu finish.

Lin Jing looked up at the sky.

The sky within the secret realm was foggy and overcast, with no sunlight visible.

Then…

Lin Jing looked into the distance, where the mountains undulated, seemingly endless…

Afterward, Li Tangyu continued:

“Moreover…”

“We cannot fly at will in this dense forest.”

At this time.

Li Qingqing, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, suddenly spoke up:

“I know this…”

“Grandfather mentioned before that the Demonic Beasts here are far more formidable than those outside.”

“If one carelessly flies on a sword, they might quickly be surrounded by Demonic Beasts, and even a Golden Core Immortal might get injured then.”

Lin Jing nodded and said:

“I heard before that an Elder from the Qingyuan Sword Sect, who was at the Golden Core stage, died at the hands of a Demonic Beast…”

“Indeed, that happened…” said Li Tangyu with a nod.

Subsequently…

They continued to walk and talk.

On their journey, they occasionally encountered Demonic Beasts that foolishly attempted sneak attacks.

But with Little Sparrow around, Elder Master Li of the Li Family didn’t even need to lift a finger, as those Demonic Beasts died one after another under Little Sparrow’s claws.

On their way.

Little Sparrow feasting on Demonic Beast Inner Cores probably had its fill by now.

And so.

The group walked from day into night.

Soon, night fell.

They found a large rock, started a campfire, and rested on the spot to recover their strength.

That night passed without incident.

The next day, they set off again.

The deeper they went into the secret realm, the denser the spiritual energy became.

And so.

The group continued to move deeper into the secret realm.

It was the afternoon of the second day when just after they crossed a mountaintop, Lin Jing looked up into the distance…

And he was stunned…

He saw a mountain range, winding and rugged, stretching across the ground.

Atop that mountain range, a colossal peak soared into the sky, piercing the clouds.

Even with Lin Jing’s vision, he could only see part of that peak before it was obscured by the clouds in the sky.

Li Tangyu came over and said with a smile:

“Brother Lin…”

“You must have never seen such a tall mountain before, right?”

Lin Jing nodded and replied:

“Yes!”

“I’ve never seen such a tall mountain before.”

After that, Li Tangyu continued:

“I was the same as you when I first came here…”

“And the Cleansing Spirit Pool is located below this mountain peak.”

Lin Jing looked towards the mountain peak and then expressed his admiration:

“No wonder…”

“Only a place full of natural spirit and exceptional beauty like this could produce Spiritual Objects like the Cleansing Spirit Liquid.”

At that moment…

Elder Master Li of the Li Family, who had been mostly silent, spoke up:

“Alright, we’re almost there…”

“This place isn’t very far from that mountain peak, and the three major sects have already cleared the area nearby. We can fly there on our swords now.”

“Good…” replied everyone.

Then…

They all took to their swords and flew towards the mountain peak.
