Chapter 630: Chapter 266 Travel Chapter 630: Chapter 266 Travel Facing Steward Cheng’s concern, Lin Jing felt moved yet sowhat helpless.
But he couldn’t outright say that the “Demon Cultivator” he spoke of was actually himself, so he could only respond:
“Steward Cheng, do not worry, I cannot stay here much longer, and I will be leaving soon.”
“As for yourself, always being here in Tianxin City, you must be careful in everything.”
Steward Cheng then laughed and said:
“You need not worry about …”
“The two important figures from the Western Demon Region should be arriving soon…”
“By then, with both of them here, I believe that the Demon Cultivator won’t be able to stir up any major trouble.”
Seeing Steward Cheng’s confident deanor, Lin Jing’s mouth twitched, and he could only nod along in agreent…
This eting with Steward Cheng, Lin Jing talked with him for a long ti.
ƝονǤο.ᴄ0
Throughout the eting, Lin Jing did not reveal his true cultivation level and only presented himself as a Golden Core Cultivator.
Yet, even just as a Golden Core Cultivator, he already astonished Steward Cheng.
A Golden Core Cultivator, in Tianxin City, was already among the elite, and Lin Jing had reached this stage in just a few decades.
...
It is known, even with the help of the Yiyun Pavilion, it took Steward Cheng over a hundred years to advance to the Golden Core stage.
In the end…
It was only as the day began to darken that Steward Cheng had to attend to so matters, and their conversation had to end.
The next day, after discussing with Shi San, Lin Jing prepared to leave.
Afterward, Lin Jing took Shi San to bid farewell to Steward Cheng, and following their goodbyes, the two left Tianxin City.
After leaving Tianxin City, Lin Jing started touring the Nanming Domain with Shi San.
During this ti, Lin Jing sealed his cultivation and even hid his Divine Sense, appearing like an ordinary person as he toured with Shi San.
Sotis they would be in a bustling Immortal City…
Sotis in a lush forest…
And sotis, even on the precipice of perilous peaks…
Their footsteps were left in countless places.
Following Lin Jing around, Shi San had not a word of complaint and was even quite thrilled.
After touring for a long ti, the two traveled through many places.
Shi San’s knowledge grew as he experienced many strange and wonderful things.
Initially, Shi San admired the lifestyle of Cultivators very much, but as they continued their travels…
The two visited Immortal City after Immortal City, witnessing much deceit and calculation among Cultivators, and the maneuvering among Cultivator Families…
Gradually, Shi San ca to a realization: Cultivators and ordinary people are not so different after all.
Initially, Shi San had so reservations about being unable to cultivate, but after seeing all this, he gradually let go…
During this ti, as they passed through Immortal Cities, they occasionally heard so news.
It was about the patriarch of the Nanming Immortal Sect and the Demon Cultivator…
The news of the patriarch of the Nanming Immortal Sect falling spread, eventually causing a significant uproar.
As for the Demon Cultivator, he disappeared without a trace.
They did not find out it was Lin Jing.
Of course, during this ti, there were people searching for Lin Jing.
The one searching for Lin Jing was naturally Ye Yun.
After the ambush, Lin Jing had Ye Yun leave first, and later, when he was being hunted by the patriarch of the Nanming Immortal Sect, he sent a ssage, advising Ye Yun and Li Qingqing to take the entire Li Family away from the Nanming Domain and return to Li Yan Island.
However, after they returned, they did not see Lin Jing co back for a long ti, so Ye Yun, worried, went out again to search for Lin Jing.
Upon learning that Ye Yun was searching for him, Lin Jing t with Ye Yun and gave him so instructions, then sent him back.
Ye Yun left following Lin Jing’s directions, and Lin Jing then set out on the road again.
Ti flew by quickly, and five years soon passed.
In five years, Lin Jing and Shi San had toured the entire Nanming Domain.
Shi San had grown from a youth into a full-grown man.
As for Lin Jing, he seed to have forgotten his identity as a Cultivator, traveling over mountains and rivers, traversing deserts with Shi San, visiting nurous places…
During this ti, Shi San’s deanor continuously changed while Lin Jing appeared to fully integrate into the world, becoming a true mortal.
After finishing their tour of the Nanming Domain, perhaps accustod to the mountains and rivers, Shi San started yearning for the sea…
Therefore, Lin Jing took Shi San to the seaside…
After touring the Nanming Domain, having been seasoned by rugged mountains, Shi San beca even more composed, his gaze profound, his whole deanor steady as a mountain.
Following this.
The two procured a small boat and ventured into the sea…
The sea, unlike land, contained more and more dangerous Demonic Beasts.
But it was also more fascinating…
Fortunately, Lin Jing was a Body Refinent Cultivator; even without using spells, he could face those sea Demonic Beasts without any harm.
However, the perils of the sea were not just once; there were also potential storms at any mont…
……
This ti, the two toured the sea for four years.
Having been through sea storms, witnessing the vastness and unpredictability of the sea, Shi San’s character beca even more resolute than ever before.
After four years of touring, the two returned to the Nanming Domain again.
In nine years, Shi San had seen the prosperity of Immortal Cities, the fickleness of human hearts…
Toured dangerous peaks, as well as deserts and plateaus…
And witnessed the vast yet fickle sea…
Shi San underwent a profound transformation deep down in his bones.
At this ti.
With only one year left until the decade was up,
the two had to return earlier than planned, perhaps because the decade was nearing its end, Shi San’s body also developed so issues.
Shi San’s body started changing, becoming unusually lethargic.
Although his body had beco exceptionally strong after nine years of travel, boosted by so martial techniques among mortals that Lin Jing had taught him,
Shi San’s body could even match that of a low-level Cultivator.
But that didn’t solve the problem.
Lin Jing had also used his Divine Sense to try and investigate.
Although he could detect so issues, these were beyond his ability to resolve.
In the end, the two decided to return.
The two left the ocean and eventually returned to Sea-Watch City.
Seeing the exceedingly flourishing Immortal City again, Shi San’s entire deanor appeared exceptionally calm and composed.
Lin Jing, standing next to him, seed as if he had completely lded with the world, his every gesture indistinguishable from that of a true mortal, with no flaws visible at all.
The two looked up, gazing southward…
They knew it was ti to go back.
Afterward,
the two set off on the road again just as they had when they first began their journey.
After nine years of traveling, Shi San had beco much more composed and spoke far less…
The two left Sea-Watch City, walking on the road.
Suddenly, Shi San broke the silence without hesitation or doubt:
“Master…”
“I want to go back to Mo City.”
Lin Jing looked at Shi San, then nodded and said,
“Alright…”
“Then we’ll go back to Mo City.”
“Mmm…” Shi San responded, followed by an endless silence.
While they continued on, Shi San slowed his pace.
Lin Jing, puzzled, turned to look at Shi San.
Shi San furrowed his brows, looked at Lin Jing, and seed to hesitate.
Lin Jing noticed Shi San’s reluctance and knew he must be struggling.
So, Lin Jing spoke,
“Ask whatever you want to ask…”
“I will answer whatever I know.”
Shi San looked at Lin Jing, hesitated for a mont, and then nodded.
“Master…”
“My grandfather, he was a cultivator, wasn’t he?”
Lin Jing nodded and said,
“It seems you’ve noticed…”
“Yes, he was a cultivator.”
Hearing the answer he wanted, Shi San’s expression visibly relaxed.
Then, Shi San spoke again:
“Since I was a child, my grandfather hardly interacted with anyone, including the people of our town.”
“I never thought much about it before, but the traveling in recent tis made recall many things from my childhood and notice so clues.”
After speaking, Shi San asked Lin Jing again:
“Master…”
“Tell , am I about to die, and is it because of my body that my grandfather wouldn’t let cultivate?”
Without waiting, Shi San continued,
“In the past two years, I’ve been sleeping longer…”
“And every ti I sleep, I dream of falling into an abyss, a very deep and cold one…”
“As if it will never end…”
“Especially in the last two months, I feel like that dream is becoming more and more real…”
At this point, Shi San showed a relieved expression:
“I was worried about what my grandfather would do if I suddenly were no longer here…”
“Since my grandfather is a cultivator, I don’t need to worry anymore…”
Lin Jing turned to look at Shi San, then spoke directly:
“Shi San…”
“Your body, indeed, has so problems.”
“However, your grandfather is looking for so items to treat your body.”
“So don’t worry, you will definitely be alright.”
“Is that so…” Shi San looked southward, murmuring.
A mont later, Shi San turned his head, sowhat worried, and asked Lin Jing:
“Master…”
“Would my grandfather searching for dicine for be dangerous?”
Lin Jing reassured him:
“Don’t worry…”
“Your grandfather is no ordinary cultivator; he definitely won’t be in danger.”
“Is my grandfather’s cultivation very high?” Shi San, still sowhat puzzled, continued to ask:
“What realm is he in?
How does he compare with you, Master?”
Lin Jing thought for a mont, then spoke:
“I am not sure of your grandfather’s exact realm.”
“But I am certain, there is no one in the entire Nanming Domain who is his match.”
Lin Jing recalled his initial encounter with Shi San’s grandfather, in whose eyes all of Lin Jing’s concealnt techniques seed like nothing.
Even the Blood Infant Pact, which had long troubled him, was rely a matter of moving his hand for him.
Lin Jing was unsure of Shi San’s grandfather’s exact realm, but it was certain that it was at least above Body Refinent…
After speaking, Lin Jing said to Shi San again:
“Alright…”
“Stop worrying over nothing.”
“We’re going to Mo City now.
Didn’t you want to see Yu Ling?
We’ll stay in Mo City for a while.”
This ti, ntioning Yu Ling, Shi San didn’t act as shy as before, but rather said frankly:
“I knew from the beginning that she and I are from different worlds…”
“So, I didn’t pursue those thoughts.”
“Now that we’re returning, I just want to go to Mo City to see her once again, and that’ll be enough…”
