Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 297: Chapter 279 The Origin of Huang Qingling

Then, Huang Qingling’s soul fragment continued, saying:

“However, my original body has been critically injured and has been in a deep slumber, while I, this soul fragment, am responsible for guarding the original body.”

Lin Jing then spoke up and asked:

“Qing Ling, you…”

“Or rather, your original body, what is its origin?”

Huang Qingling replied:

“My original body belongs to the most esteemed existence among the demon clan, the Divine Phoenix Clan.”

“The Divine Phoenix Clan?” Lin Jing was quite puzzled and then said, “I have heard of phoenixes…”

Huang Qingling continued:

“Phoenixes are indeed one kind of creature within the Phoenix family.”

“But the Divine Phoenix is the pinnacle of the Phoenix family, with a status far above that of the phoenix.”

“Moreover, the resurrection of Old Man Bai and Elder Yu was possible because I used the Nirvana Power unique to the Phoenix Clan. I infused it into their bodies just after they died, while their soul spirits had not yet dissipated, which is what allowed them to be revived.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s eyes brightened as he hurriedly said:

“Then, can you revive all three of them?”

“I can…” Huang Qingling paused for a moment and then nodded.

“However…”

“Due to the events that have occurred, my strength has been severely depleted; I am currently unable to do so. I can only leave them here to preserve their bodies from disintegrating, and then wait for my original body to awaken before I can restore their consciousness.”

Lin Jing nodded and then looked at the original body of Huang Qingling lying on the jade platform and asked:

“According to you, if the Divine Phoenix Clan is so powerful, how did it get injured?”

Huang Qingling then said:

“This matter involves some major karma, which you, with your low cultivation, cannot withstand.”

“I cannot tell you now, but when your cultivation has reached a certain level, I will explain it to you.”

Seeing Huang Qingling’s serious expression, Lin Jing nodded his head and did not inquire further.

Following that, Lin Jing left the light screen together with Huang Qingling.

And the light screen returned to its original state.

“Qing Ling…”

“The one who had been with me all along, that was your avatar, right?”

Huang Qingling’s soul fragment nodded:

“Yes…”

“May I ask why you saved Elder Bai and Elder Yu, and why did you go to Nanshan Market?” Lin Jing then asked.

Logically speaking, as a soul fragment, it should not leave the original body it was guarding without a good reason.

Yet Huang Qingling had formed an avatar to go to the market.

Huang Qingling raised her head to look at the light screen in front of her, where her original body was, and said slowly:

“Perhaps…”

“It’s because I’ve been in this Qinghuang Palace for so long without seeing anyone else, it’s too lonely.”

“I thus used my own power to condense that avatar, allowing her to go out and take a look on my behalf.”

Seeing the somewhat forlorn Huang Qingling, Lin Jing softly asked:

“How long have you been here?”

Huang Qingling pondered for a moment, then shook her head and continued:

“Maybe a few hundred thousand years, or maybe one or two million years.”

“It’s been too long; I can’t remember.”

“Ever since my original body separated me out, I’ve been guarding here.”

Lin Jing immediately fell silent, as this soul fragment of Huang Qingling clearly possessed its own consciousness.

Lin Jing realized that he didn’t really know Huang Qingling but rather this soul fragment of hers.

Lin Jing looked at Huang Qingling in front of him and then said:

“You can’t leave this place, can you?”

Huang Qingling’s soul fragment nodded and replied:

“My power all comes from the original body, I can’t leave the original body for too long, and I cannot go out at will.”

“We can only rely on the method of condensing an avatar.”

“What the avatar experiences is equivalent to my own experiences. When the avatar returns, I will automatically awaken, merge with the avatar, and obtain all of its memories.”

“It is for this reason that I knew you encountered danger.”

After speaking, Huang Qingling’s eyes dimmed:

“Unfortunately, this time out, I expended too much energy.”

“Following this, I estimate that I won’t be able to leave for a long time, nor do I have the surplus energy to create another avatar.”

Having said that, Huang Qingling smiled again at Lin Jing:

“However, after this, I will also need to sleep for a while. During my slumber, I won’t be aware of the passage of time, and thus, I won’t feel lonely.”

Lin Jing felt a painful tug at his heart upon hearing this.

She, alone, had stood guard over the empty Qinghuang Palace for hundreds of thousands of years.

With no one to talk to, and no one for company, it’s unimaginable how she had endured these days.

After finishing, Huang Qingling once again addressed Lin Jing:

“However, before I fall into my slumber, I plan to use the Teleportation Array to send you out of the Nanming Domain first.”

Lin Jing looked up suddenly, his expression one of confusion as he looked towards Huang Qingling:

“Send me out of the Nanming Domain, why?”

No sooner had Lin Jing’s words fallen than Huang Qingling waved her hand, and a vast projection appeared above her head.

“This secret realm originally belonged to the Divine Phoenix Clan, and everything that happens here can also be projected inside the Qinghuang Palace.”

“Take a look…”

With that, Lin Jing raised his head to look up.

He saw that on the screen of light, a great battle was unfolding.

On one side were the three major sects, along with Nanshan Immortal City, as well as Golden Core Cultivators from various families nearby.

On the other side, with heads of wolves and bodies of humans…

Were indeed the Demon Cultivators from the Howling Sky Wolf Clan.

Behind these Demon Cultivators was a formation soaked in blood, surrounded by the remains of Human Cultivators, piled up and arranged.

Just as Lin Jing was watching, a red light suddenly lit up above that formation, and after the red light faded, a few more figures with wolf heads and human bodies from the Howling Sky Wolf Clan appeared within the formation.

It turned out that this Formation was actually a Teleportation Array.

It appeared to have been formed through the sacrifice of Human Cultivators.

The newly arrived Demon Cultivators from the Wolf Tribe were all tall and strong.

The weakest among them was comparable to the one who had been besieged and killed before.

Clearly.

Their strength was not to be underestimated.

As soon as this group of Demon Cultivators appeared, they charged directly towards the battlefield ahead.

Seeing this, Lin Jing’s eyebrows knitted together— it seemed the Howling Sky Wolf Clan had opened this Teleportation Array by some sort of sacrificial method.

Through it, the Howling Sky Wolf Clan was likely launching a massive invasion.

All of this was probably intimately connected to that Wolf Tribe’s shaman.

Then, Lin Jing continued to gaze at the screen.

In the midst of the battlefield, where the fighting was most fierce, were three Cultivators locked in an intense battle with two enormous Demon Cultivators from the Howling Sky Wolf Clan, each over ten zhang tall.

These three Cultivators were also known to Lin Jing.

They were the same three Nascent Soul Cultivators who had been guarding the rock cave at the Cleansing Spirit Pool before.

Unexpectedly, those two Demon Cultivators from the Wolf Tribe were able to fight these three Nascent Soul experts to a stalemate, and even seemed to be slightly gaining the upper hand.

Apparently, those two Demon Cultivators from the Wolf Tribe were Nascent Soul Stage experts with no inferior cultivation.

As the several individuals were engaged in fierce combat, the Teleportation Array lit up once again. When the light of the teleport faded, the person who appeared caused Lin Jing to be taken aback.

This person was a hunched-over little old man with a strange staff in his hand. At the top center of the staff was something that resembled an eyeball.

However, as soon as the little old man teleported over, all the surrounding Demon Cultivators knelt on one knee, paying their respects to him.

The Nascent Soul Cultivators, who had been fighting fiercely against those two Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators, turned pale and cried out upon seeing the little old man in the Teleportation Array:

“A Divine Transformation Cultivator…”

“Retreat quickly!”
