Cultivation: Being Immortal - Chapter 204

Bing State, outside the Heavenly Wall Divine Kingdom

Lin Jiang thought for three days and decided to go deep into the Heavenly Wall Divine Kingdom to find Lin Batian. Lin Jiang didn’t have any specific requirements, he just asked the Lin family to help him create a special weapon.

This was originally part of Lin Jiang’s plan, but now it has been put on hold. However, Lin Jiang is rich and doesn’t want to waste this time.

Lin Jiang has high requirements for the special weapon. The only condition is to use rare materials to create a sword that is extremely sharp and incredibly strong. If there are still spirit stones left, he wants to create more defensive treasures.

“You’re so rich?”

After Lin Die looked inside Lin Jiang’s storage bag, she was stunned. There were hundreds of Premium Spirit Stones alone, more than the Lin family had. Combined with other spirit stones and items, Lin Jiang’s wealth was close to five billion.

“Just a few small goals, not that rich.”

“Don’t you bring Small Shadiao?”

“No, there are no resources inside. It would be useless to bring it in. Besides, without spiritual power, Small Shadiao might not be able to carry me. Find a way to give Small Shadiao a fourth-level spirit stone. If it still can’t break through, you can just kill it.”

Lin Jiang said, and Small Shadiao was nearly crying on the side. This owner is too ruthless, not good. He should stick with his sister. Although his sister may beat up birds, she wouldn’t kill them.

“Okay, got it. Anything else to say?”

“I’ve prepared 30 letters. I’ll send one to my master every ten years. Don’t tell him the truth. After I finish sending the letters, if I haven’t come out, I’ll die.”

“So you were fooling people like this too?”

Lin Die asked, remembering that Cao Ying had received many letters from Lin Jiang but could never find him.

“This is a kind lie. Besides, I have properties in the Five Elements Sect. Before the Great Battle of the Five Elements Sect, I could earn hundreds of thousands of spirit stones every year. I don’t know how many there are now. You can help me get them. I mentioned it in the letters. I’ll take as many spirit stones as I can and invest them in magic weapons.”

“Are you going to make a fairy device?”

“I would love to, but I don’t have enough money.”

Lin Jiang said very seriously, he really wanted to get a fairy device, if there was one.

“Okay, got it. Anything else?”

“I can’t remember anything else, no more time.”

“Okay.”

“Then I’m leaving.”

Lin Jiang nodded and got everything else ready. Beforehand, he took a high-level Inedia Pill, enough to sustain him for years without food. He also changed his clothes, which were now resistant to harm even without magic protection. Additionally, he replaced his sword with one he had obtained as spoils of war.

Things couldn’t be perfect, but this was enough.

After saying that, Lin Jiang waved goodbye to Lin Die, Lin Ying, Big Shadiao, and Small Shadiao. Without looking back, he walked into the Heavenly Wall.

·······

The Heavenly Wall was not a physical barrier, but a curtain of light. Upon entering it, Lin Jiang found himself in a scenic primeval forest, but the air was devoid of magic.

“The magic within my body is slowly fading away. It’s a slow process, expected to take three to five years to completely lose all magic. Without magic, my golden core won’t be able to absorb any spiritual energy, and it will expel the magic it possesses. In due time, my golden core will shrink and collapse. Thankfully, I prepared ahead of time.”

Lin Jiang felt changes in his body. The surroundings lacked spiritual energy, and his own spiritual power was decreasing bit by bit. Luckily, he had prepared in advance by sealing his energy channels and dantian, which slowed down the loss of spiritual power.

After taking a moment to adjust, Lin Jiang continued forward. Flying was not possible as it consumed too much spiritual power. Instead, he activated his body technique to swiftly move forward. After traveling for about two to three hundred miles, he arrived at a cliff. Standing at the edge of the cliff, Lin Jiang saw smoke rising in the distance, indicating that he had reached the interior of the Divine Kingdom.

Lin Jiang knew very little about the situation in the Divine Kingdom from the cultivation world. Cultivators who entered never came out, while only a very small number of mortals had ever come out from the Divine Kingdom.

Therefore, the Divine Kingdom was an extremely mysterious place for cultivators.

Lin Jiang jumped off the cliff, using the protruding rocks on the cliff to leverage himself. He quickly reached the bottom and followed the river, walking for several days until he arrived outside a village.

Lin Jiang hid in the mountains and forests outside the village. He saw worn-out people working in the fields and occasionally knights rushing past on horseback, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Lin Jiang hid outside the village for a long time, finally encountering an opportunity when he saw two knights coming out of the village. He activated his body technique to quietly follow them. When they stopped to rest, he made his move and captured them.

“What are your names? Where is this place located?”

Lin Jiang asked a series of questions, and when the two knights heard, their faces turned much more frightened than before.

“Monster, you, you, you are a monster.”

One of them shouted in fear. Lin Jiang understood their language; the language in the cultivation world all came from the central region and were mostly the same, just with different accents. However, Lin Jiang was very interested in this kind of monster.

Lin Jiang asked them why they called him a monster, but they couldn’t come up with a reason. Lin Jiang sighed and said. I didn’t want to use soul-searching technique, but since you can’t explain clearly, don’t blame me.

After saying that, Lin Jiang used the soul-searching technique on them and quickly understood the reason. It turned out that the monster they referred to was actually a cultivator.

Because cultivators have long lifespans, even if they lose their spiritual power and cultivation, their lifespan still remains. In the eyes of these people, cultivators who can live hundreds or thousands of years are considered monsters.

From their memories, Lin Jiang also learned many things, such as the village behind them called Hongshan Town. The village chief is a member of the royal family, holding the title of marquis. These knights also come from the royal family, but they are few in number and there are hardly any ordinary villagers because they are all slaves.

“A marquis with only one town as their territory, what kind of marquis is that? They are at most just landlords.”

Lin Jiang shook his head, realizing that what these two individuals knew wasn’t much, and he was completely confused.

After searching the belongings of the two men and taking a horse, Lin Jiang continued along the main road. Less than a hundred miles ahead, he could already see a convoy approaching, with about twenty or thirty cavalry in the front. Lin Jiang stopped his horse and furrowed his brow.

From the memories of those two knights, he saw that they seemed to be here to welcome this convoy, and it seemed that the owner of the convoy was somewhat noble.

“Why didn’t the knights in front kneel when they met a noble person?”

Lin Jiang hadn’t considered whether to approach or not, but the knight in front of the convoy had already come forward and shouted at Lin Jiang.

“I am the son of Prince Jiangdu, who wants to kneel?”

Lin Jiang casually said, Prince Jiangdu was the most noble royal family known in the knight’s memory.

A group of knights looked at each other, and then one person returned to the convoy. After a while, more people appeared and surrounded Lin Jiang. Some even bent their bows and aimed at Lin Jiang.

“Let me see who dares to impersonate the son of Prince Jiangdu.”

A young man in fancy clothes rode up on a horse and unfriendly-lookingly said to Lin Jiang.

“It is the prince himself, how are you?”

“Haha, you are the prince, how could I not know that, my lord?”

“Who are you?”

“I am Li Wen, the third son of Prince Jiangdu. How could I not know that my father also has a son like you?”

“Alright, I was wrong. Actually, I am not Prince Jiangdu’s son.”

“Then who are you and why are you pretending to be the prince’s son?”

“Actually, I am Prince Jiangdu himself. I also don’t have a son like you.”

“Reckless, bold, you, you…”

“Good son, if you insist on calling me dad, I don’t really mind.”

“Kill him for me, kill him.”

The young man was so angry that his face turned bright red and he shouted to kill Lin Jiang.

“Whoosh, whoosh…”

Dozens of arrows were shot, but Lin Jiang swung his sword and knocked all of them down.

“Protect the young master.”

“Kill!”

The leader of the guards looked and immediately his face changed drastically. They had encountered a master. They quickly backed away with the young man, while the other knights started charging forward.

“Splosh.”

With one swing of his sword, Lin Jiang defeated dozens of knights. He caught up to the young man, first knocking down the leader of the guards with a palm strike, and then grabbing hold of the young man.

“Please don’t kill me, brave hero, please don’t kill me.”

“Can we restore the arrogance just now? I have a good reason to kill you.”

“No, hero, I was wrong.”

“Boring.”

Lin Jiang slapped him unconscious, then leapt up and intercepted the rest of the escaping group. The remaining guards were extremely loyal, but Lin Jiang easily dealt with them. Only a dozen or so well-dressed young men were left.

“Behave, or I won’t kill you.”

“Shut up first, stop crying. I’ll count to three, and if you cry again, I’ll kill someone. Crying also counts as time, oh. Three, two…”

“Good, now you’re behaving.”

Lin Jiang frightened them all into silence, even if tears welled up in their eyes, they didn’t dare cry.

Afterwards, Lin Jiang interrogated them and learned that these people were all noble sons and daughters from Jiangdu City. They had come here to hunt and would visit every one or two years. The marquis in Red Mountain Town would warmly receive them.

“You guys have so many people, no one brought a few books?”

Lin Jiang got angry. These spoiled children, with so many people, they didn’t bring a few books for Lin Jiang to learn about the Divine Kingdom. It really made him furious.
