He could not feel the passage of time in this dark underground world. Every so often, he would feel a sharp pain in his consciousness. Afterwards, a weak cold stream would gently enter his body, soothing the pain and returning it back to normal.

After who knows how long, Lin Jin finally woke up from the darkness.

However, this was not a good thing for him. The moment he woke up, he felt a pain throughout his body that seemed to want to pull out all the meridians in his body. It caused his consciousness that had just awakened to suddenly stop, and he immediately fainted again.

In fact, although the Grand Cloud Immortal Pavilion fell into the Desolate Land after losing control of Lin Jin's mind, because of the protection of its own formation, when it collided with the ground, it only harmed its exterior parts, and the damage to its interior was minimal.

At that time, Lin Jin was at the center of the formation at the center of the Grand Cloud Immortal Pavilion's core. The defense of the formation was a thousand times stronger than the outside, and the damage he suffered was almost nothing.

If all living beings want to survive in this world, and even progress further, they must have a foundation.

Just like plants, just like people... For the Taoists, regardless of whether it was sacred art, magic technique, or cultivation of Tao techniques, they all built upon this foundation. This was the Tao Foundation that the Taoists always spoke of.

The Tao root was not an actual body, but a spirit that gathered the Taoists' understanding of all things in the world and all methods. This spirit could not be seen or touched, but it could be cultivated using the unique cultivation method of the Taoist.

The Taoists strengthened their foundations, breathed in and out, and absorbed the spiritual energy of the outside world into their own bodies. The refined Profound Qi that was cultivated was the most fundamental existence that nourished the Tao root.

The more refined and pure the Profound Qi, the more refined its spirit was, and the more pure it was, so its comprehension of the Dao would also be higher. The lighter and more complex the Profound Qi, the less understanding one would have towards the Dao, and the easier it would be for the soul to be affected by the outside world, not to mention using the dao's rules to release a divine ability or technique.

Just like those ordinary people.

The younger one was, the more acute their senses would be. When they reached adulthood, it would be difficult to maintain the mental and sensory acuity of a young person. This was because as time passed, Profound Qi s would constantly consume energy without being able to replenish it.

Therefore, to the Taoists, the Profound Qi they painstakingly cultivated was their most important thing.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would definitely not use it. However, after a big night of battle with the Ghost Emperor, Lin Jin also had to control the Grand Cloud Immortal Pavilion to fly, so the zhenqi on his body were almost exhausted. However, they met with the cultivators that sensed the powerful auras of the Grand Cloud Immortal Pavilion.

Just as the saying goes, it is difficult to predict the hearts of people, there are so many Taoist Master in the Ba Shu continent, and Lin Jin was someone who was unwilling to give his safety to others. He could only use the last of the Profound Qi s …

After a while, Lin Jin woke up from his coma. Although the pain was just like before, but after the previous coma, his resistance to the pain was now much stronger.

Resisting the pain with great difficulty, Lin Jin probed his body with willpower, and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. So it turned out that he was currently in the seven meridians of the eight extraordinary meridians in his body.

He did not know when the eleven meridians of the twelve normal meridians had completely withered, but once it became a meridian, the remaining zhenqi began to constantly shrink. The zhenqi that used to surge like a river was now only left with a trace of a nearly undetectable zhenqi, and this zhenqi was also constantly shrinking.

Judging by the speed at which it was shrinking, it would take at most half a day. Then, the meridians in his body would once again become the meridians of an ordinary person. It might even be inferior.

Just as he was about to observe where the sliver of zhenqi had run off to, he felt a sharp pain in his mind. With a stuffy groan, his mind was suddenly in a mess and he could no longer see the situation in his body.

He immediately wanted to use the willpower to suppress the pain, but after trying several times, the pain remained the same. Furthermore, under his suppression, it seemed to become more and more intense.

He immediately knew that this was because the pain in his body was too great, causing his nerves to be unable to withstand the pain, otherwise, with the many years he had spent traveling the world, concentrating on comprehending the heavenly dao, he would definitely not have been disturbed while he was meditating.

Helpless, he had no other choice but to let it go.

Opening his eyes, he looked around and saw that the space he was currently in was incomparably gloomy. Besides his slightly hurried breathing and the thumping of his heart, there was no other sound. It was as if a huge coffin had been buried underground.

However, with his will, he could sense that there were countless invisible streams of air that were circulating around the space. A faint pressure was emitted from the countless streams of air.

He knew that these streams of Qi were the array formations for the pavilions in the inner parts of the Grand Cloud Immortal Pavilion. Seeing how they flowed, he guessed that they did not suffer any damage, which made him feel more at ease.

Time passed second by second. In this dark environment, the great pain made him forget about the existence of time. But as time passed, the pain became lighter. It was not that the pain was lessening but his mind was gradually getting used to the pain.

At this time, when he focused his inner sight, he discovered that the last remaining meridian in his body had already withered away.

He bitterly smiled again and sighed in his heart. Heaven's will was indeed something no one could predict. Even though his cultivation level had reached the point where it was almost at the same level as heaven's, he still hadn't warned anyone before this disaster.

However, since things had come to this, there was no point in thinking about it. It was better to focus on surviving this disaster first. Thinking up to this point, he stopped thinking about it, and wholeheartedly activated willpower, crazily absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world.

With just a thought, he attracted all the spirit energy within five kilometers of the forest, and it gathered into a speck of light in the darkness, entering his limbs and bones from all around. It turned into a warm current, and once again filled up his withered meridians.

However, for some reason, even though the spirit energy had been gathered here to fill his meridians, it was still filled with dissatisfaction from beginning to end.

Lin Jin felt that it was strange, and when he checked his body, he realised that after the Spirit Qi gathered in his meridians, it was not gathered, and was flowing the same way as the zhenqi in his body, towards his Dantian.

At this moment, his dantian had turned into something that looked like a cluster of stars. Inside, it was sparkling with a bright light, like a mist. It slowly circulated and absorbed all of the spirit energy.

And no matter how much spiritual qi Lin Jin attracted over, it would always accept it. It was like a bottomless pit that could not be filled no matter how hard he tried.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jin was shocked. He couldn't help but think of the nebula cluster that had inexplicably appeared in his consciousness, and hurriedly probed his sea of consciousness, only to find that there was indeed a small piece of the interstellar cloud within his sea of consciousness that was missing.

However, the other parts of the interstellar cloud was still huge, as if it was not affected by the missing core. It was still slowly revolving around the blank space.

Just when he was perplexed over how the object in his dantian could have appeared, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Brother, are you awake? Yin Yin and Grandfather have been waiting for you for a long time.

Amongst the cold lights, the face of a little girl suddenly appeared. However, at this time, Lin Jin was no longer as dazed as when he first saw her, but instead had a cunning look in his innocent eyes, it was obvious that he had recovered a lot.

When Lin Jin saw her, he immediately felt a lot more relaxed. He suppressed the pain in his body and forced a smile at her.

"Big brother is fine. Where's your grandfather? Is he still in the Cosmic Bag? " According to his thinking, ever since had last seen her, her body had undergone many strange changes, allowing her to freely enter and exit the Cosmic Bag s.

However, her grandfather was only a ghost that was slightly stronger than normal ghosts. If he was trapped inside the Cosmic Bag that had nothing at all due to the fact that she was unconscious, it would be a bit unfair to him.

Unexpectedly, when Yin Yin heard her words, her small mouth formed a pout, and said with slight anger: "Of course not, Grandfather went out seven months ago, and said that he was planning to set up some hidden array to prevent others from discovering it.

And even allowed Yin Yin to guard Big Brother for more than seven months, and hadn't come back to take a look. "

Seven months! It seemed that he had already been unconscious for seven months. Hearing Yin Yin's words, Lin Jin's consciousness spread outwards, reaching around seven to eight meters on the ground, and indeed, he saw streams of light gray, slightly cold Qi twirl and coil around in the surrounding forest, forming a formation that he did not understand. It surrounded the Grand Cloud Immortal Pavilion's crash point within a radius of ten kilometers, making it look like a primordial forest that had not been destroyed from the outside world.

Just as Lin Jin was about to find out where Feng Wanshan was, he heard an old and joyful sound wave coming from all directions, "Brother Lin, you've finally woken up!" However, his figure was still nowhere to be seen.

Lin Jin carefully sensed the sound and discovered that it was coming from the light gray colored aura, and when he thought about Feng Wanshan's ghostly body, he suddenly realized that Feng Wanshan had actually used his own body to create this large formation to protect him. It was no wonder he couldn't even move for seven months.

And when Yin Yin, the nymph, heard her grandfather's words, she also stayed by her side without taking half a step away from her. Even if her grandfather was nearby, she didn't look at her.

Presumably, the cold current that caused him to feel the pain while he was unconscious was the energy of the nymph himself. Thinking about it, a warm feeling rose in Lin Jin's heart.
