Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - Chapter 243: Accident, Stealing the Cleansing Spirit Liquid

Lin Jing controlled the Observation Mode, reaching the deepest part of the cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, Lin Jing noticed that it was different from the last time he had been there.

A giant boulder lay in the middle of the cave.

There were also many fragments of rock strewn about in disarray.

At the rear of the cave, there was a massive new opening.

Lin Jing clearly remembered that, on his last visit,

this opening did not exist.

It was obviously newly formed.

And inside that opening, a chilling wind howled, with intermittent piercing shrieks resonating within.

In the cave,

the three Nascent Soul Elders who were supposed to guard it were now down to two.

And the remaining two Nascent Soul Elders had ceased their meditation.

At the mouth of the new opening, they had erected a barrier of light.

Seemingly stabilizing the entire cave.

Driven by curiosity, Lin Jing controlled the Observation Mode

and peered into the newly formed opening.

After a period of exploration,

the cave turned sharply downward.

Lin Jing continued his exploration following the descent.

With the faint light to guide him, Lin Jing looked at the cave walls and could barely make out

that the walls, as though hewn by axe and chisel, were irregular but smooth in some areas.

They didn’t appear to be naturally formed at all.

It seemed more like a passage carved out by some creature…

After observing for a while, Lin Jing continued his descent.

Soon…

he reached the bottom of the cave.

At this point, the bottom of the cave was much more spacious than before.

Lin Jing moved on,

and finally…

he saw someone.

It was the third Elder who had been guarding the cave with the Cleansing Spirit Liquid.

At that moment,

a Flying Sword was positioned by his side, ready to strike at what lay opposite.

And opposite him was a huge Ant Demon Beast, shrieking fiercely and confronting him.

The Ant Demon Beast was dark red all over and glowed brightly.

Just like…

the Ant Demon Beasts Lin Jing had seen before.

Only this one was much larger, the size of a calf.

Besides this colossal ant, there were countless other Ant Demon Beasts within the cave.

Even behind the Ant Demon Beast, the entire cave was a dark red hue, which looked quite terrifying.

However,

the standoff between the man and the beast did not last long before conflict erupted.

The largest Ant Demon Beast leaped forward, charging straight at the Nascent Soul Elder.

But the Nascent Soul Elder simply raised his hand,

and a sea of flames burst forth, rushing toward the swarm of ants.

Countless Ant Demon Beasts were incinerated to ash by the flames,

and only a few managed to survive.

Even the surrounding rocks had begun to melt.

Indeed, befitting of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, the casually unleashed sea of flames was terrifyingly powerful.

Yet, despite this,

the largest Ant Demon Beast emerged from the sea of flames unimpeded,

with not a single mark on its body.

Once again, the Nascent Soul Elder extended his hand and pointed forward.

The previously poised Flying Sword, shimmering with dazzling light, surged towards the Ant Demon Beast.

“Clang!”

Upon contact with the Ant Demon Beast, the Flying Sword produced a sound like metal striking metal.

The Ant Demon Beast shrieked in pain, yet bore no wound on its body.

After shrieking, it continued its charge towards the Nascent Soul Elder.

Just as it was about to rush over…

Suddenly,

a tremendous palm shadow flew out, directly swatting the Ant Demon Beast away.

“Elder Yue, how goes it?”

A voice then emanated from behind the Elder.

Lin Jing subsequently shifted the Observation Mode perspective and looked behind.

He saw that it was one of the men who had previously been above.

The Elder who had been fighting with the Ant Demon Beast didn’t even turn his head and responded:

“This Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant seems to have reached its climate, and might be close to morphing. My fire-based Divine Sense has no effect on it.”

“Elder Li, this Demonic Beast is not easy to deal with…”

The Elder who had just arrived furrowed his brows and replied:

“I did not expect it to be this troublesome…”

As soon as Elder Li finished speaking, Elder Yue once again started to explain:

“This place is not like the others; we need to ensure that the Cleansing Spirit Liquid remains unaffected.”

“Therefore…”

“we should resolve this battle quickly.”

Elder Li nodded in agreement.

He took a step forward, ready to join Elder Yue and slay the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant.

Seeing their intent, the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant seemed to realize it was no match for the two of them.

After a shriek, it turned and fled into the depths of the cave.

At the same time, the remaining Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants that had survived the sea of flames charged at the two Elders.

As the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant attempted to escape, the two Elders gave chase without hesitation.

Meanwhile, the Devouring Spirit Ants were deemed inconsequential by the Elders.

Elder Yue then waved his hand, and a wave of Spiritual Power swept over.

The Devouring Spirit Ants burst apart…

Lin Jing had wanted to keep watching the battle,

but not long into his pursuit, the range of Observation Mode reached its limit and could not extend any further.

Feeling helpless,

Lin Jing had no choice but to return.

When Lin Jing regained control over the Observation Mode, returning to the cave, only one Elder remained on guard there.

This remaining Elder stood at the entrance, gazing inside,

seemingly using Divine Sense to detect any activity inside the cave.

Yet,

there was not the slightest change in his expression.

Clearly,

the battle inside was well in hand.

The two Nascent Soul Stage Elders facing the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant should have an easy victory.

After waiting a little longer…

just as Lin Jing was about to exit Observation Mode and return to his cultivation,
