Changyun Yuanlei had already succumbed to the alcohol and passed out completely.
The Drunken Soul Wine, when consumed in large amounts, indeed causes intoxication, but it wouldn’t cause them any harm.
Therefore, Lin Jing just let him be.
After Changyun Yuanlei passed out, Lin Jing made sure he was settled and then left the place.
……
After making sure Changyun Yuanlei was settled, Lin Jing then returned to his cave dwelling, took out the map, and began to examine it.
The map provided by the cloaked old man was quite clearly marked with various places, and even dangerous areas were individually noted—a sign that much care had been taken.
However.
Whether the map was accurate or not, he would have to see for himself.
Then, he decided to head to the area marked on the map for a visit.
He could also get a first look at the specific situation of the Soul Tomb, since he would have to leave from there anyway.
It would be better to observe it in advance now.
Since Lin Jing was temporarily leaving, he definitely needed to inform Changyun Yuanlei.
However, since Changyun Yuanlei was still in deep sleep from the alcohol, Lin Jing did not wake him up but instead left him a message detailing his own whereabouts and gave some instructions.
After doing all this, Lin Jing left directly.
……
The location of the Soul Tomb was precisely in the northern part of Lost Soul Island.
After leaving Lost Soul Island, Lin Jing continued to fly north.
At first, it was all right, with dense white fog all around.
As he moved further north, the white mist began to mix with some gray fog, which was different from the white fog; the white fog only blocked the line of sight at most.
But this gray fog was very dangerous.
Fortunately, the range of these gray fogs was not very large, and whenever Lin Jing encountered gray fog, he would immediately avoid it.
Finally.
After a day of flying, Lin Jing arrived at the far north of the Water Element Realm, at the Soul Tomb.
This place was different from others; the white fog here had completely dissipated, leaving only groups of gray fog floating around occasionally.
Of course, there was also a thick wall of gray fog made up of black fog ahead; behind that wall of gray fog was the place where the Soul Tomb was located.
It was also where the Jade Soul Algae appeared.
When the Soul Tomb appeared, it would emit colorful divine lights, and the walls of gray fog would disperse, exposing the Soul Tomb.
But now, without the colorful divine lights, the Soul Tomb had already moved away; it was not behind the fog wall, making this place relatively less dangerous.
The danger level of the Soul Tomb, compared to the gray fog, was not just a step up but several levels higher.
After all, even cultivators at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage had fallen inside, which could only hint at the dangers inside.
……
Upon his arrival, Lin Jing first looked around for a while, seeing nothing unusual, then approached the fog wall.
This fog wall spread out in front of him, blocking everything tightly, even extending under the sea water below.
These fog walls actually extended directly into the sea below.
Clearly, this was not ordinary gray fog but seemed to be composed of something special.
Seeing how peculiar the fog wall was, Lin Jing decided to probe it first.
Then.
Lin Jing extended his Divine Sense and probed into the fog wall.
However, as soon as Lin Jing’s Divine Sense neared the fog wall, it immediately began to churn, and from within the fog wall, a very dark gray mist reached out, seemingly about to engulf Lin Jing’s Divine Sense.
Seeing this, Lin Jing quickly withdrew his extended Divine Sense, and after withdrawing it, the very dark gray fog also retracted back.
This gray fog was indeed strange; it seemed as if it wanted to devour his Divine Sense.
After probing the fog wall, Lin Jing did not linger further but directly summoned the System and entered System Space.
In the current situation, it was naturally best to first use Observation Mode and observe,
then decide whether to use the Fixed-Point Teleportation Function after observing the situation.
This was something Lin Jing had planned beforehand.
Upon entering System Space, Lin Jing immediately activated Observation Mode, and with the activation of Observation Mode, Lin Jing’s viewpoint once again appeared in the outside world.
Following.
Lin Jing controlled Observation Mode, probing into the gray fog.
Inside Observation Mode, although Lin Jing’s perspective was outside, his body remained within the System Space.
Even if Lin Jing controlled Observation Mode and entered the fog wall, the fog wall showed no reaction.
Upon entering the fog wall, Lin Jing’s observational view was obscured entirely by the gray fog; everything was a hazy gray.
Lin Jing did not mind and continued to control the observational view forward.
As the observational view moved forward, the fog wall gradually thinned, and just a few moments later, the gray fog suddenly cleared, and Lin Jing’s view became suddenly expansive.
Lin Jing had finally passed through the fog wall and saw the scene inside it.
Inside the fog wall, there was also no white fog, looking similar to the outside.
Only, the sea water here was not blue but a shade of jade green.
If it weren’t for the robed old man’s firm assurance that there was no problem, Lin Jing might even suspect whether this jade green sea water was dangerous.
Currently in Observation Mode, naturally, he couldn’t feel it.
Following.
Lin Jing controlled the observational view, looking around.
Beyond the fog wall that Lin Jing had just passed, looking forward, there was an ice cliff with no top in sight.
The cliff
Dipped into the seawater below.
The visibility in the seawater was still decent, extending up to about a kilometer.
Lin Jing then controlled the observation angle to continue downward, and the deeper he went, the lower the visibility in the seawater became.
By this time, although he hadn’t reached the seafloor yet, the visibility had already dropped to less than five hundred meters.
Just as Lin Jing was preparing to continue exploring downward, suddenly a deep green piece of algae floated past in front of his observational field of view.
Lin Jing focused his eyes to see, wasn’t that the Jade Soul Algae?
Without being stimulated by external forces, the Jade Soul Algae floated past leisurely, neither hurried nor slow, right in front of Lin Jing.
On his first visit, he had already encountered the Jade Soul Algae.
The robed elder hadn’t deceived him after all.
Upon spotting the Jade Soul Algae, Lin Jing didn’t rashly go out but continued to observe.
He had to first ensure there were no dangers around before venturing out.
As for the Jade Soul Algae, he decided to let it go for now.
Lin Jing glanced over the Jade Soul Algae, then continued exploring, and after some time, he had thoroughly surveyed the surroundings.
Even during this investigation, Lin Jing encountered another Jade Soul Algae.
This place was indeed where the Jade Soul Algae frequented, and during just this inspection, Lin Jing had come across two Jade Soul Algae.
After clarifying the situation, Lin Jing then exited the observation mode and directly spoke:
“System!”
“Use the Fixed-Point Teleportation Function.”
As Lin Jing’s voice fell, the Fixed-Point Teleportation Function activated.
Then, Lin Jing’s perspective began to extend, covering a substantial area around him, which naturally also included the area beyond the fog wall.
This area was the range Lin Jing could choose for teleportation.
Lin Jing then chose a spot far behind the fog wall and initiated the Fixed-Point Teleportation.
“Ding!”
“System notification: Host has used Fixed-Point Teleportation, deducting one Harvest Point, remaining Harvest Points: 60547.”
Following the system’s notification, the next moment, Lin Jing appeared at the location he had just selected.
?????.??
Upon appearing, Lin Jing first keenly watched the direction of the fog wall, while carefully staying on guard.
After all, this was his true body’s first entry here, so he had to be extra cautious.
After waiting for a while, seeing that nothing unusual happened and even the fog wall showed no reaction,
Lin Jing finally relaxed.
Afterward.
Lin Jing looked down towards the greenish seawater below, and then he descended towards the sea surface.
Upon reaching the sea surface, Lin Jing tested again to confirm that the seawater was also fine before he dived into the water below.
After body refinement, Lin Jing’s physical strength had greatly increased, and naturally, his resistance to hot and cold had also greatly improved.
Yet upon entering this sea, Lin Jing could still feel the chill.
The seawater here was extremely cold.
If other cultivators of the same stage were here, they probably would have to spend a lot of spiritual power covering their entire body just to isolate the freezing temperature of the seawater.
After entering the sea, Lin Jing directly swam forward, while carefully watching for any appearing Jade Soul Algae and simultaneously extending his Divine Sense to examine the surroundings closely.
In this way, as Lin Jing explored, he dived deeper and deeper.
And the chill of the seawater became even more intense.
Actually, these were still manageable, but what truly caused Lin Jing some concern were the Jade Soul Algae, which seemed to have vanished.
He had been searching for some time and hadn’t spotted even one.
Lin Jing then stopped and recalled carefully.
It seemed that from the moment he entered the water, the Jade Soul Algae had vanished.
Lin Jing knew Jade Soul Algae had a very sharp sense, so he had already tried to minimize noise while searching, yet he still hadn’t encountered any.
Were those Jade Soul Algae truly that sensitive?
Lin Jing’s brow furrowed slightly.
The Jade Soul Algae were extremely rare and only appeared in special places.
Having never seen them, Lin Jing also wasn’t aware of how other individuals captured them.
He was just trying to capture them in the way he had envisioned, but it seemed that his method might not work.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Jing decided to first leave the sea and then enter System Space to observe and learn about the nature of the Jade Soul Algae.
Afterward.
Lin Jing called out to the System again and entered System Space.
Upon entering System Space again, as Lin Jing initiated Observation Mode, he started exploring again…
Perhaps because of Lin Jing’s presence earlier, which had scared off these Jade Soul Algae, Lin Jing’s second exploration covered an even larger area than before.
Yet he still didn’t encounter a single Jade Soul Algae.
This time, Lin Jing searched for a full day and night, but still he didn’t see a single Jade Soul Algae appear.
Just as he was preparing to leave and go ask Changyun Yuanlei if he knew the method to capture these Jade Soul Algae,
at that moment, Lin Jing saw a person while in observation mode.
This person was the robed elder…
