“`
Several days later…
In the System Space, Lin Jing stared at the system panel, his eyebrows knitted in silence.
System Space (Level 4)
Remaining Time: 62 hours (Accumulable: 400 hours)

There were only 62 hours left to enter the System Space.
This small amount of time made Lin Jing unavoidably nervous.
In the past few days, he had encountered many dangers.
As soon as there was danger, Lin Jing had to enter the System Space to hide.
Only after the danger had passed did he dare to come out.
It couldn’t be helped…
The Demonic Beasts here, each was more powerful than the last, with most of them possessing the terrifying strength of a Golden Core or even beyond.
With Lin Jing’s cultivation, he was neither able to fight nor escape.
He could only rely on the System Space to avoid them.
Especially the Nascent Soul Demonic Beast he encountered one day ago.
Even though Lin Jing had already hidden in the System Space, the Demonic Beast still stood guard at the original location, refusing to leave.
The beast was too fast, and even if Lin Jing used Fixed Point Teleportation to flee, he still couldn’t escape its sensory range.
That Demonic Beast had waited outside for Lin Jing for three whole days and nights.
Seeing that Lin Jing really wasn’t coming out, it left disgruntled.
Meanwhile, Lin Jing inside the System Space was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
However, he had no solution.
If he went out, he would die.
This time, Lin Jing had truly experienced what it felt like to be a rat crossing the street.
Although that was not his intention.
It was for this reason that the entering time for Lin Jing’s System Space had been so drastically consumed these past few days.
Now, with only 62 hours left, at most he could last a few more days before it ran out.
Thinking of this outcome, Lin Jing shook his head, quickly discarding the negative thought.
As a person who had crossed over and still carried a system with him…
If he were to die here in such a suffocating manner, just like a rat crossing the street, that would indeed be a huge joke.
After pondering for a long while, Lin Jing simply could not think of any strategy to resolve the current situation.
He could only continue with his original plan of moving forward and seeking a way out.
First, Lin Jing opened his Storage Bag to check his remaining talismans.
It had to be said, these Second Rank talismans were quite useful, at the very least, they could confuse the sight of those Demonic Beasts.
Even though these talismans were not powerful, they made the Demonic Beasts extremely wary.
Several times, just as Lin Jing threw out a talisman, those Demonic Beasts, as if encountering their natural enemies, hastily avoided it, and it was also with these talismans that Lin Jing managed to avoid several crises.
Lin Jing took out the talismans from the Storage Bag.
The Golden Body Talisman, Teleportation Talisman, a feather, Five Thunder Talisman…
A feather was brought out of the Storage Bag by Lin Jing.
This feather was exactly what Huang Qingling had sent over just before the Teleportation Array was activated.
Lin Jing had studied it before but hadn’t found any use for it.
So, he kept this extraordinarily beautiful feather as a souvenir in his Storage Bag.
Then, Lin Jing continued to put Huang Qingling’s feather back into the Storage Bag and continued to inspect the talismans in his hand.
A total of five.
In Lin Jing’s hands, there were only five talismans left.
After checking the talismans, Lin Jing threw them back into the Storage Bag.
Then, through Observation Mode, Lin Jing noticed that there were no dangers nearby, so he decided to leave the System Space for now.
“Exit System Space.”
“`
As Lin Jing’s voice faded, the scene before his eyes began to blur. When the view cleared again, he once more appeared outside.
After coming out, Lin Jing headed towards the predetermined direction and walked forward.
……
This time, Lin Jing’s luck was exceptionally good.
In two days, he only encountered a few Golden Core Demonic Beasts.
Lin Jing had some close calls but managed to evade them safely.
After scaling two not-so-low mountain peaks, the dense forest finally began to change.
Lin Jing stood atop a mountain peak, looking ahead.
He saw that ahead was the edge of the dense forest; beyond that were broken stones, a beach…
Even further was a boundless sea…
“This…”
“Could it be that I’ve been teleported to the Demonic Monster Sea?”
Lin Jing muttered in his heart.
The deep blue sea stretched to the horizon.
This didn’t seem like something that belonged in the Eastern Spirit Realm.
Then, Lin Jing withdrew his gaze and looked towards the stone beach in front of the dense forest, where a gigantic stele stood upon the stones.
This stele, unlike a creation of nature, appeared to be carved by human hands, about one hundred meters tall, with its back towards Lin Jing.
This was the first thing related to humans that Lin Jing had seen since he arrived here.
The stele faced the sea, and there should be something on its front side. With its back to the dense forest, Lin Jing guessed that its front side might very well contain something.
Such as patterns, or perhaps inscriptions…
Without delay, Lin Jing decided to go take a look first.
Perhaps because he was at the edge of the dense forest, his descent from the mountain was, as usual, smooth sailing.
In just over three hours, Lin Jing arrived at the bottom of the mountain and exited the dense forest.
He then sprinted towards the stele in the distance.
Hoping to see if the stele was engraved with any patterns or script.
Upon reaching the stele,
Lin Jing looked up and saw that the stele indeed had inscriptions.
“Immortal Crossing Island”—these three large characters were inscribed upon the stele.
And below them, two lines of smaller text.
“Immortal Crossing Island, the road to becoming an immortal.”
“Once you enter Immortal Crossing, there’s no returning.”
Seeing the inscriptions above, Lin Jing was instantly startled.
“Immortal Crossing Island…” Lin Jing muttered to himself.
The words on the stele were simply too shocking.
Daring to be named Immortal Crossing Island and even claiming to be the road to becoming an immortal…
This Immortal Crossing Island must not be so simple.
Especially that last phrase, “Once you enter Immortal Crossing, there’s no returning,” seemed to suggest…
That once one reached Immortal Crossing Island, there was no way down.
“Could it be that once you come to Immortal Crossing Island, you can’t leave?” Lin Jing frowned and muttered to himself.
However, Lin Jing wasn’t going to be frightened by the inscriptions on the stele.
He still intended to give it a try.
Lin Jing shifted his gaze and then turned around.
Looking towards that endless sea in the distance, he then walked towards the seaside.
Although this place seemed safe at a glance, Lin Jing remained cautious and on guard.
It’s better to be safe than sorry.
Passing the stone beach, Lin Jing arrived at the sandy beach.
Ahead lay the seaside.
Lin Jing then looked down at the ground; the sandy beach occasionally had broken stones, some shells of shellfish, or dry fish bones.
No different from an ordinary beach.
Just as Lin Jing was thinking about proceeding further, a sudden tremor in his heart brought an ominous premonition.
At that moment, the System’s warning also sounded abruptly in Lin Jing’s mind.
“Warning!”
“Within the alert range, malice targeting the host has been detected. Please respond promptly.”
