NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 604
Chapter 604: Chapter 254 Bait Chapter 604: Chapter 254 Bait In the Barren Forbidden Zone, Spiritual Energy is extremely scarce, even more so than outside the zone.
The reason for this, some speculate, is the mysterious substance from a million years ago, which continuously absorbs Spiritual Power, thus creating such a scarce Spiritual Energy environment.
Moreover, apart from the scarcity of Spiritual Energy, there is another characteristic within the Barren Forbidden Zone…
A characteristic that instills fear…
At this moment, Lin Jing was inside the System Space, looking at the age column on the system panel.
Lin Jing (77/997)
Spiritual Root: Five Elements Spiritual Root (Medium Grade)
Cultivation: Nascent Soul Eighth Layer (7%)
…
…
Lin Jing’s lifespan had reduced…
After just one month in this Barren Forbidden Zone, Lin Jing had lost three years of life.
It seemed as if something terrifying inside the Barren Forbidden Zone was constantly stealing his life.
Ever since entering the Barren Forbidden Zone, Lin Jing felt that something was not right, but he had never been able to pinpoint what it was.

Not until he opened the system panel and saw his lifespan did Lin Jing understand what was happening.
However, even so, Lin Jing did not dare to leave the Barren Forbidden Zone recklessly.
At this time, an old ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect had been watching him like a tiger eying its prey, wanting to kill for treasure.
Without dealing with him, Lin Jing would never have peace of mind.
Next.
Lin Jing closed the system panel and then spoke, summoning the System.
“System…”
“Enter Observation Mode!”
As his words fell, Lin Jing’s perspective appeared on the outside.
At this moment, Lin Jing was on a bare Nameless Peak.
This Nameless Peak was once a Sect’s location.
But this Sect had been destroyed a million years ago, and its cultivators had died in that catastrophe.
Apart from the wind-eroded, barely recognizable remains of ruined walls, there were only Yin Spirits drifting all over the mountain…
These Yin Spirits, all transformed from cultivators who died in the catastrophe, still roamed the once Sect location even after a million years.
It seemed they were guarding everything here.
Although these Yin Spirits appeared mindless, one must not let them detect the presence of the living.
If one were to carelessly expose oneself, these Yin Spirits would immediately pounce like wolves that had smelled blood.
Moreover, these Yin Spirits were extremely troublesome, their strength was formidable, roughly equivalent to their Cultivation during life.
Besides, it was fundamentally impossible to annihilate them, giving them an invincible existence.
If one were to carelessly expose oneself and they latched on, the only option would be to find a way to escape, or face certain death.
Nonetheless.
Fortunately, these Yin Spirits had a strong sense of domain and would not venture too far from their territory.
Therefore, there was still hope for escape.
Lin Jing had been observing this peak for a while, and he had completely mastered all the situations on the mountain.

This place was the trap Lin Jing had set for the old ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect, one that was enough to be fatal…
In fact, Lin Jing had used the Yin Spirits to obstruct the old ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect before—it was not the first time.
He had used them many times before.
Because of the existence of the System Space, Lin Jing was absolutely fearless of the Yin Spirits; even if the Yin Spirits ensnared him, he could hide in the System Space and escape their wrath.
Thus, Lin Jing had used the Yin Spirits several times to try to shake off the pursuit of the old ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect.
However, because the location they were in was too remote, those Yin Spirits were too weak to stop the old ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect.
The Nanming Immortal Sect ancestor could scatter all those Yin Spirits with a single strike.
Although they could reassemble, it was meaningless.
With no other choice, Lin Jing had to continue to venture deeper into the Barren Forbidden Zone to find stronger Yin Spirits.
Finally, he found this mountain peak.
This peak, which was previously a Sect’s location, had many Yin Spirits on it.
And the strength of these Yin Spirits was not weak.
There were Yin Spirits ranging from Energy Refinement Level to Nascent Soul Level.
Originally, when Lin Jing first discovered this mountain peak, he was somewhat disappointed as he did not find any Divine Transformation Level Yin Spirits.
But after a careful investigation, he finally noticed some irregularities.
Seeing the scale of this Sect, there should have been more than ten Nascent Soul Level Yin Spirits.
Logically, such a Sect should have had Divine Transformation Cultivators in residence.
With curiosity, Lin Jing used Observation Mode and dived deeper.
Finally, in what should be called the back mountain of the Sect, he discovered two Divine Transformation Level Yin Spirits.
These two Divine Transformation Level Yin Spirits were in an odd cave on the back mountain.
The cave was quite peculiar, covered by a barrier of light on the outside.
No matter how one probed with Divine Sense, it was impenetrable from the outside.
It was only under Observation Mode that Lin Jing could probe inside.
Moreover, around the cave, there were traces of a Formation left from earlier times.
Clearly, this cave must have been a secret place of the Sect a million years ago.
Within the cave, those two Yin Spirits also differed from the others.
The other Yin Spirits, lacking consciousness, wandered aimlessly until they encountered humans and attacked.
If left undisturbed, they roamed without purpose.
But the two Yin Spirits in the cave sat cross-legged, as if like in their living days, cultivating in meditation.
And, at the position of their minds, already being Spiritual Bodies, each harbored a dull green glow.
Although these two Yin Spirits had not moved, Lin Jing believed that they were certainly extraordinary.
