C1188 The Journey Is in Vain
This scene was really too shocking. The Magnetic Pond's final selection was extremely dangerous. There was actually someone who had broken through to a higher realm in this process, as if he had just gained enlightenment.
Such a thing had never happened in the final selection of the Advanced War.
Now that they had witnessed it with their own eyes, it naturally caused all the experts gathered around the Magnetic Pond to cry out in shock. For a moment, they were filled with mixed emotions and envy.
There was no doubt that after today, Lin Cheng would become famous in the entire island. In addition, if nothing unexpected happened, Wen Song and Hu Feng would both die at his hands. Therefore... Hu Feng's reputation as the number one genius of Dao Origin would most likely change from now on. It would fall on Lin Cheng's head...
In everyone's eyes, this was a supreme honor, but they would never know that Lin Cheng didn't even put him in his eyes, including the master of Dao Origin Island, the number one expert, Black-robed Sovereign, in his eyes!
Now, although he had finally entered the level of control of Rule of Elemental Magnetism, he had officially become the master of the three Laws of the Heaven and Earth, and even the damaged Soul Body had recovered a little because of this. He had returned to the Supreme Being Realm, but Lin Cheng was still calm and composed. There wasn't even the slightest ripple in his state of mind. Because to him, all of this was supposed to happen...
By now, it had been two incense sticks of time since the final selection of the Magnetic Pond. On the opposite side of the Magnetic Pond, there were already some Dao Origin Stage geniuses who had successfully passed. They landed on the other side of the Magnetic Pond, and there were quite a number of them. There were dozens of them...
However, even more people were still in the sky above the Magnetic Pond, including Lin Cheng. Furthermore, he was still the last one.
From this moment on, although Lin Cheng had been walking slowly step by step, he had already seen the pattern of the invisible magnetic force in the sky above Magnetic Pond. The speed of his footsteps was getting faster and faster.
After a moment, there were already people who were left behind by him. Such a scene appeared more and more frequently and faster...
Finally, after another half an incense stick of time passed, Lin Cheng's figure jumped and crossed a few miles. His feet were steady as he landed on the opposite side of Magnetic Pond.
"Awoo..."
"If you want to kill a thousand blades, you are only one step away..."
Following closely behind, another Dao Origin Stage genius landed. However, there was no joy on his face. Instead, he howled with incomparable grief and indignation like a pig being slaughtered.
He was indeed one step away. Lin Cheng had landed in the Magnetic Pond ahead of him, which was precisely the 100th place. As for him, because of this one step difference, he had become the 101st place.
Although he was only ranked 1st, he was destined to have no fate with the Confinement Heaven Pride Advanced War this time. How could he not feel grief and indignation?
It was only at this moment that the experts who had gathered around the Magnetic Pond suddenly realized something. Although Lin Cheng had been walking slowly from the beginning to the end, he had only reached the latter half of the journey. The speed and frequency of his steps became faster and faster.
However, from the beginning to the end, he had been moving forward. He did not take half a step back, nor did he move sideways to avoid or take a roundabout route.
This was something that even the first person to arrive at the other side of the river would not be able to do. The gap between them was so huge that it was terrifying to think about it...
"Everyone, the top 100 people that have arrived at the other side of the Magnetic Pond have already been filled, and the Dao Origin Advanced War this time... has come to an end!"
After Lin Cheng's figure landed on the opposite side of the Magnetic Pond, the authoritative elder of the Dao Element Sect who had been paying attention to Lin Cheng since Black-robed Sovereign left secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He naturally saw through Black-robed Sovereign's admiration for Lin Cheng and wanted to take him as his successor. That elder would be the future Sect Master of Dao Element Sect. It might not be impossible for this kid to become the master of Dao Yuan Island in the future...
He couldn't afford to offend Lin Cheng just because of this. If the successor chosen by Black-robed Sovereign was selected, even the Advanced War wouldn't be able to get a spot this time. That would be too awkward. Therefore, Lin Cheng continued to walk slowly step by step. The elder in charge of the Dao Element Sect was also helpless, but he couldn't interfere. One could imagine the depression in his heart.
However, it was better now. At the last critical moment... Lin Cheng finally leapt up and was one step away from success. He had successfully landed on the other side of the Magnetic Pond, although he was only ranked 100th in the last row. As such... As for Black-robed Sovereign, he could finally give an explanation...
At this moment, he soared into the sky and stood in the sky above the Magnetic Pond. He announced the official end of the Advanced War. The elder in charge of the Dao Element Sect shifted his gaze to Lin Cheng.
He smiled and nodded. He paused for a moment before he continued, "I have noted everyone who has arrived at the opposite shore of the Magnetic Pond..."
"Three days from now will be the opening day of the main island of the Central Region, the Confinement Heaven Pride Advanced War. My Dao Origin Island is located at the western border of the archipelago. It will take some time for me to rush to the main island of the central region of the archipelago from here..."
"Therefore, we must set off tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Everyone can leave today and rest for a while. Everyone must arrive in time tomorrow morning. Gather outside of Dao Yuan City. I will lead the team... and set off for Confinement Island!"
"Swoosh..."
After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything else. He turned around and soared into the sky along with the faint sound of the air being torn apart...
Around the Magnetic Pond, the surrounding experts from Dao Yuan Island were whispering to each other in groups of twos and threes before they left one after another.
Lin Cheng didn't come into contact with anyone. He flew into the sky by himself. After a short while, he arrived at Dao Yuan City. He directly entered the city through the city gate. Facing the respectful gazes from all around, it was as if he was ignoring them.
It had only been one night. He did not intend to leave. He found a post house in Dao Yuan City and settled down. After some rest and recuperation, he would be able to pass very quickly...
After a short while, Lin Cheng, who had entered Dao Yuan City, randomly found a post house in the city. He asked for a cave dwelling with a courtyard, Bie Wan.
"Swoosh!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
After entering Bie Wan, he immediately waved his hand. Following the faint sound of air being torn apart, Array Flag after array base were laid down by him. In an instant, he constructed three layers of Inhibition inside and outside Bie Wan.
On one hand, he wanted to prevent people from using the spiritual sense Consciousness Probing to spy on him. On the other hand, he wanted to stop those who wanted to pay him a visit to build a good relationship with him.
To Dao Yuan Island and even the entire Confinement Archipelago, Lin Cheng was just a passerby. There was no need for him to form any friendship here. At least, he didn't have the intention to do so right now.
The night passed in silence!
After meditating for an entire night, Lin Cheng finished his meditation early in the morning the next day. He let out a long sigh and waved his hand to withdraw all the Inhibition. Then, he walked out of Dao Yuan City.
