Chapter 430: Chapter 429: Squadron, Supreme God Pattern
Returning to the fragmented space, Li Jing completely put the idea of trying to find the main force behind him and wholeheartedly threw himself into the task of picking up God Patterns.
It wasn’t that Li Jing didn’t want to find the main force.
The Supreme Court’s huge mobilization was undoubtedly to collect God Patterns.
However, so far there are neither shadows of people nor traces of people.
Clearly.
The Supreme Court has a clear destination, they know where the most God Patterns are lost.
The God Patterns scattered and buried in various places of the fragmented space are not their targets nor do they apparently have the ability to collect them.
Holy Spirit Guidance is a basic Divine Art.
Presumably most of the people in the church will use it.
But they are not like Li Jing, who can summon Ling Ling’s consciousness.
If possible, Li Jing naturally wants to meet up with the main force.
With Ling Ling there, the God Patterns scattered in the fragmented space will eventually end up in his pocket.
He did not want to miss out on the side of the Supreme Court.
But he can’t find anyone, there’s no need to force it, is there?
...
Guided by the Holy Spirit, Li Jing dug three feet deep every time he arrived at a place, accurately found the God Patterns she sensed, and put them in his pocket.
With his ninth realm speed.
He really picked up God Patterns until his hands were soft.
In less than two hours, Li Jing incredulously picked up more than two hundred God Patterns and incidentally picked up more than ten complete God Bones.
Although most of the God Patterns picked up are lower, medium is relatively rare and upper is even rarer, but this quantity is truly extraordinary.
To say, the Supreme God System is also truly ruthless.
The War Worship God System seems to be completely rubbed on the ground by them, and was exterminated alive.
Of the more than two hundred God Patterns that Li Jing picked up, most of them belong to the War Worship God System, and very few of them belong to the Supreme God System, only about twenty.
This made Li Jing curious.
According to the types of God Patterns he picked up, it was not difficult to judge that the situation was completely one-sided at that time.
How did the War Worship God System manage to repel the Supreme God System so that they did not have time to collect the spoils of war after the fierce battle and had to retreat reluctantly?
The reason for this, it is not just because this space has been shattered.
...
In the blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed.
With Ling Ling, the sensitive "God Pattern" crusher guiding him, Li Jing picked up another hundred or so God Patterns and sat down aimlessly on a ruin and entered the Time of the Sage.
God Patterns are good things, there is no doubt.
But in the blink of an eye he has more than three hundred God Patterns, he really doesn’t feel the rarity that much.
Seeing that Li Jing stopped moving, Ling Ling blinked in doubt.
"Why aren’t you leaving? Tired?"
"I wouldn’t say I’m tired, but I just feel that it’s not worth it to keep going like this."
Li Jing responded, saying.
"I have enough God Patterns in my hand, and presumably your food is enough, so why don’t we find something more meaningful to do."
"Sure! So what are we going to do?"
Ling Ling nodded without hesitation.
Li Jing, she is not stingy in the slightest.
Along the way, of the more than three hundred God Patterns, half went into her pocket as snack reserves.
So many God Patterns, it would take her a few decades to eat them.
This quantity even surpasses the quantity she’s eaten since she was born!
God Patterns are good.
But she can’t eat that much either.
On one hand, she is small and eats a few bites to become full, on the other hand, God Patterns have to take time to digest after being eaten, and she is not just trying out the taste.
With Li Jing’s generosity, Ling Ling is quite satisfied.
She is determined to stick with this guy.
A person without relatives and friends in the Supreme God Domain, where is it more fun than being with Li Jing?
Although he is a bit weak, he is nice to her, isn’t he?
Li Jing didn’t know that Ling Ling, like Chen Yuran, had a subtle change of mind under his costless feeding, Ling Ling had already said beforehand that she wanted to sit in his Little Universe, so he didn’t need to worry about how to keep this little guy.
Now he said that they should find something meaningful to do, so Li Jing thought about finding the main force again.
After a little thought, he asked Ling Ling.
"A lot of people who believe in the Supreme Faith have come to this space, but I’m not sure where they are now, Ling Ling do you have a way to find them?"
"How can I find them?"
Ling Ling shrugged, saying.
"I’m not the main god of the Supreme God System, they have nothing to do with me."
"And it’s no good if someone is using the Holy Spirit Guidance?"
Li Jing asked.
"No."
Ling Ling shook her head, yawned, and said.
"Holy Spirit Guidance does have some connection with me, but essentially it’s just a trade I did with the Supreme God countless years ago, allowing the followers of the Supreme God System to use a little bit of my will to find faith-related things. If it was a few tens of thousands of years earlier, I could indeed use that part of the will to sense, but now that part of the will has long been discarded by me."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing frowned.
"The will, can it be discarded?"
"I advise you not to try it lightly, it will give you a headache for many years."
Ling Ling sincerely said, and then hummed.
"I discarded that part of my will mainly because those bastards in the Supreme God System didn’t treat people right, they secretly increased my will usage in the Holy Spirit Guidance by relying on the God Instrument, and used this to cross the boundaries to find other God clan’s tribes to wage war. Every time they did so, I had to sleep for a few days, and then they didn’t even thank me after getting the God Patterns, so I cut it off."
"..."
Li Jing.
As for how to give up part of the will, he didn’t know.
But he dared to be sure.
The result of giving up part of the will could not be simply a headache for a few years.
Listening to Ling Ling’s later words.
The Supreme God System used Ling Ling like this without giving her any benefits, isn’t this just narrowing the road?
As he was thinking about this, Li Jing was shocked and asked.
"Ling Ling, you have the ability to cross realms to find other God Clans, then you should be able to find the possible Gods in this space?"
"Naturally."
Ling Ling nodded, saying.
"But I already looked for it when I came here, there are no living Gods in this space."
This answer, Li Jing was not surprised.
If there were living Gods in this shattered space, how strong would one need to be when there are God Patterns everywhere to pick up?
Without much thought, Li Jing asked again.
"If the Messenger of the God’s Descent or the Saint of the Supreme God System appears, can you sense them?"
"I can."
Ling Ling responded, chattering away.
"However, you need to tell me which Main God they serve."
After saying this, she began to explain.
"I can’t directly sense the Messengers of God’s Descent and the Saints because they’re not Main Gods and they don’t have the God Pattern. My ability to sense comes mainly from matching the divine system and not from the God’s Body itself. The Messengers of the God’s Descent and the Saints usually have the power or authority of the main god they serve. If I am familiar with that Main God, it won’t be difficult to find them."
Upon hearing Ling Ling’s explanation, Li Jing’s eyes brightened.
He didn’t know who Wina’s Main God was.
But, that wasn’t a problem.
He knew whom Alicia served.
"Do you recognize the Goddess of Light?"
"Goddess of Light?"
Ling Ling was stunned, and blurted out.
"That little bitch... Of course, I recognize her. She’s one of the seven supremes of the Supreme God System."
Little bitch?
Li Jing looked at her strangely, and then asked.
"Isn’t there only one Supreme God?"
"There is only one Supreme God, but the title of ’Supreme’ is not his alone. He’s just ranked first."
Ling Ling casually replied, and then swung her little feet and closed her eyes.
Clearly, she had started trying to sense. Li Jing kept quiet and didn’t make a sound.
After a while.
Ling Ling opened her eyes and pointed to the south.
"They are in the west, very far away."
With the direction in hand, Li Jing did not hesitate, waved his hand and took out the Flying Sword Blue Edge, soaring into the sky like a streak of light.
He and Ling Ling were always heading east.
Now, they had to turn west to find the main force which had entered the Fragmented Space seven days ago. The long journey was inevitable.
But with direction, distance was not a problem.
...
Having become a Level Eight Immortal Artifact, the Flying Sword Blue Edge moved with terrifying speed.
In the true sense, it had already reached the speed of light and even distorted the space where the sword’s light passed, showing a trend of tearing.
Of course.
That was only a trend.
The space wasn’t that easy to rip open.
In less than an hour.
Li Jing had already traversed the distance that he had traveled since entering the Fragmented Space.
Not long after, he stopped near a ruined palace.
Here, he found traces left by the main force.
One could only guess what the main force encountered here, but the area around the ruined palace was littered with torn bodies.
They had been dead for quite some time.
The stains of blood on the ground had long since dried up.
It’s worth mentioning that.
Most of those dead were directly affiliated to the Supreme Court and the current church, with only a small part belonging to the exploratory teams from the present world and the West Continent.
Did the Supreme Court and the current church nobly rush to the front when faced with danger?
Li Jing didn’t think that was the case.
So many people had come, and most of them were cannon fodder.
Beforehand, Wina had mentioned to him near the Sea of Death that it was necessary to ensure enough non-church members entered the Fragmented Space to avoid any impact on their plans.
Since they had already arrived, why were the people of the Supreme Church and the current church still at the front?
At this, Li Jing had his suspicions.
The Evil Spirits or other dangers of this place were more sensitive to the power of Supreme Faith.
The people they attacked, primarily, were affiliated to the Supreme Church and the current church.
Without lingering at the spot, Li Jing moved on.
Bodies and severed limbs were all over the ground, nothing to see there.
The danger that was a hindrance to the main force and had caused them to leave bodies all around had obviously been eliminated.
...
About half an hour later, Li Jing’s powerful Ninth Realm Primordial Spirit successfully sensed a small group of people in the distance. He paused, frowning slightly.
Within his senses.
There wasn’t a single cultivator of the Orthodox Immortality Path amongst the group.
They were not moving and were staying in place.
Had they been left behind, or...?
After pondering for a bit, Li Jing put away the Flying Sword Blue Edge, changed his robe that resembled a Church follower into something more of the Eastern style, instructed Ling Ling to hide in his own collar to avoid being seen, then turned into a bolt of lightning and shot towards the people.
Soon.
He found the group of people he had sensed.
The moment he approached, he noticed these people were all from the West Continent, and they all practiced the Magic System.
They were camped in the same location, watching their surroundings.
Of the twenty or so people in the group, half of them were injured.
Among them, three were severely injured and lying there, breathing faintly - it seemed they wouldn’t hold on for long.
Judging by their attire, they all seemed to belong to the same clan or power group. Each one of them dawned a family crest resembling a roaring lion on their collars.
He thought that encounters were predestined, and at the moment, there didn’t seem to be anyone else in range of his senses. So, Li Jing decided to land.
His arrival.
Immediately alerted everyone.
When they turned to see that the newcomer was a black-haired, black-eyed easterner, everyone was taken aback. However, they all seemed to breathe a collective sigh of relief.
Clearly.
What they were tense about was not a fellow human.
Li Jing noticed everyone’s reactions and looked over at the three who were severely injured and seemed like they wouldn’t last much longer. He smiled politely.
"Do you need help?"
The group was wary of Li Jing.
Who wouldn’t be cautious of others when traveling?
Li Jing being alone made him seem even more suspicious.
However, upon hearing Li Jing’s words, everyone instantly showed a glimmer of hope on their faces.
The magic system was notably violent.
They weren’t devoid of healing abilities.
However, compared to the Orthodox Immortality Path, their healing methods were inferior.
The Orthodox Immortal Path abounds with miracle elixirs, which can not only enhance cultivation level by ingestion, but also heal injuries in an extremely efficient way. Many fatal injuries that are considered incurable in the magic system are not a problem in the Orthodox Immortal Path.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
All the people in the field who were in good shape immediately knelt down.
Other injured individuals, except for the three seriously wounded, also promptly knelt down.
A beautiful female mage with an heroic look on her face spoke up.
"I implore you to save the young master’s life."
Saving people casually, Li Jing did not mind.
Since he stumbled upon the situation, there was no harm in providing help.
He knew that the fact he was alone made him look very suspicious.
This time, the primary aim was to gain the trust of these people in front of him.
However, in the blink of an eye, these people knelt down, which was indeed beyond Li Jing’s expectations.
He didn’t expect these people to act so decisively.
It was clear.
One of the three seriously injured men held a very important position.
"Stand up, stop kneeling."
Li Jing smiled and walked forward to examine the three severely injured.
He originally didn’t have any healing elixirs.
However, after ’fighting for justice’ on the East Continent, he had many handy ones in his pockets.
The three severely injured were a young man and two elders.
All three of them were unconscious.
The young man was in a shattered armor, and even in a coma, he was holding a long sword with a special pattern that concealed a powerful magical energy fluctuation.
At first glance, he appeared to be a magic knight.
The two elders were dressed in robes, each one revealing a fluctuation not weaker than a seventh-level spirit weapon.
It was clear to see who the young master was that the female mage mentioned.
However, Li Jing didn’t give special treatment to him.
If he was going to save people, he intended to save them all.
After briefly examining the three people, Li Jing snapped his fingers, launching three spiritual powers in succession.
From the surface view.
All three were dying of serious wounds.
This young master had it worst; his fine-quality armor was completely torn at the chest, revealing a messy wound around his chest where you could faintly see his heart exposed.
With such injuries, healing spells should be able to easily cure them.
However, on their wounds, there was a weird and evil power at work.
With the cultivation level of the Ninth Realm, Li Jing’s acute understanding could be considered sharp and insightful.
He judged quickly.
Not only would ordinary healing spells struggle to work against this weird power, but also magic skills and elixirs would not have much effect. To heal, they would first need to dispel this power.
The three spiritual forces fell respectively, easily dissipating the weird power on the wounds of the three people.
Li Jing casually took out two elixirs known for their miraculous effects on external injuries, brought forth by spiritual power, and sprinkled them around with a wave of his hand.
Dots of light fell, and the severe wounds on the three people began to heal at a visibly rapid pace.
In the blink of an eye, the three were no longer injured, and their breathing gradually stabilized.
Li Jing’s actions left the people on the scene stunned.
They did have hope in him, but they didn’t expect his methods to be so effective.
This man...
What’s his cultivation level?
As the crowd watched in surprise, Li Jing turned to the injured people standing on the side and took out another elixir, sprinkling it around.
In an instant.
The injuries of all the others were completely healed.
This time, the people present were barely able to hold back their astonishment.
The leading female mage had just stood up when her legs gave way and she was about to kneel again.
Seeing this, Li Jing shook his head in resignation and launched a stream of air to support her, saying helplessly.
"Kneeling as a form of respect is an Eastern tradition, why do you Westerners also enjoy this custom?"
The female mage, held up by the stream of air, paused at the question.
It was easy for anyone with clear eyesight to see.
The young man in front of them seemed ordinary, but indeed he was a big shot.
There’s nothing wrong with kneeling to a big shot.
Moreover, seeing that he’d casually rescued her young master and healed the injuries of the other people present, expressing gratitude is just right.
But it seemed he didn’t like being knelt down to...
While she was unsure what to do, the youth known as the young master moaned and slowly opened his eyes.
As his consciousness cleared, he was slightly bewildered.
He vividly remembered being gravely injured and on the brink of death.
How come when he woke up, he was completely free of injuries?
Seeing the young man awaken, the female mage’s face lit up with joy. She made a gesture to Li Jing following the Eastern etiquette, and swiftly rushed to the young man’s side with tears in her eyes.
"Young master, you’re awake? How are you feeling?"
Greeted by the female mage’s worried face, the young man emerged from his confusion and showed a gentle smile, raising his hand to caress her cheek, saying.
"I’m fine, sorry for making you worry."
"It’s good that you’re okay."
The female mage bit her lip, fighting back the tears that threatened to fall.
Seeing this, the young man quickly struggled to sit upright, gently pulling her into his arms.
Li Jing stood to the side, with a wooden expression on his face.
Mysteriously, he was just served a mouthful of dog food by these two.
How was he supposed to deal with this?
The rest of the people present were happy to see the young man wake up, but seeing him and the female mage act so fondly together, everyone was sweating heavily and no one dared to speak.
It’s considered fortunate to have a big shot come forward to save people.
But.
The man is still here and we haven’t formally thanked him yet.
Could you two hold back a bit?
Despite it all, the young man was actually quite perceptive.
As he was about to comfort the female mage, he noticed Li Jing standing close by.
He quickly realized that Li Jing, who was clearly a practitioner of Orthodox Immortal Path, had saved him, and hurriedly let go of the female mage to give a standard knight salute.
"Thank you for your assistance, I am Daniel, from the Lionheart clan of the Manta Kingdom."
While he spoke, he took out several items emitting remarkable aura and handed them to Li Jing, saying.
"This is..."
Before he could speak, Li Jing waved his hand.
"It was just a helping hand from me; no need for a thank-you gift."
At the sound of this, Daniel hesitated slightly, but he did not insist, quietly putting away the things.
He didn’t know how Li Jing had healed him, but he could see that Li Jing did not value those things.
Seeing the youngster’s tact, Li Jing looked at him with interest and said,
"Strictly speaking, it wasn’t too difficult to heal the wounds you’ve suffered. There are many people who followed you this time, not only the Eastern people living on the Western Continent, but also many current world forces from the big world. Why didn’t you seek their help, and instead separated yourself from the majority and appeared here?"
Before Daniel could speak, the female mage said helplessly.
"It’s not that we didn’t want to seek assistance, it’s just that we encountered too many Evil Spirits at once, many of which were powerful beings. Our entire battalion was scattered, and the Supreme Court had no intention of stopping at all. They broke through the blockade and headed straight to the deeper south. If the Evil Spirits were not exclusively defending some place in the south instead of merely aiming to kill, they would have undoubtedly chosen to pursue the breaking out group, and none of us might survive."
Li Jing frowned upon hearing this.
After entering the Fragmented Space, he indeed saw quite a few Evil Spirits.
But how many Evil Spirits had it taken to scatter the battalion?
It seems the Supreme Court is too eager for success, choosing to break through instead of counteracting the Evil Spirits strike.
How many people must have died from this?
Undoubtedly, this was detrimental to the journey ahead.
However, when Li Jing pondered, he soon let go of the thought.
Having seen so many corpses on his way here, he made a preliminary judgment that the Evil Spirits in the Fragmented Space would readily attack faith systems, discussing if they would make breakouts to preserve the power of the court.
While he was thinking, Daniel hesitated for a while, took out a stone that emitted a sacred aura, and handed it over.
"Senior, this is a Holy Relic I obtained by chance during this trip. If you don’t mind, please accept it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Ling’s excited voice sounded in Li Jing’s ear.
"A shattered Supreme God Pattern! Hurry up! Accept it!"
Li Jing was not particularly interested in holy relics.
Mainly because such things are usually only useful in the hands of cultivators of faith systems, and irrelevant to the Orthodox Immortality Path.
Ling Ling’s sudden interjection took him by surprise.
A shattered Supreme God Pattern?
This stone?
Without the Eye of True Vision activated, he had no way to judge.
But since Ling Ling spoke up, this stone might indeed be a Fragmented Supreme God Pattern.
Such a thing was actually in Daniel’s hands, and the Supreme Court didn’t discover it?
With a touch of surprise, Li Jing unceremoniously took the shattered Supreme God Pattern, then started speaking.
"Next, I am going to find the main group; are you guys..."
"We are not going further. This place is too perilous."
Shaking his head, Daniel let out a soft sigh.
"In terms of our magic system, gaining a few Holy Relics is simply to use them as bargaining chips with the Supreme Court. We have been separated from the main group for a long distance, and it is not easy to catch up. It is better to retreat and leave the Earth Realm."
Saying this, he gave a smile.
"The journey back will certainly be dangerous, but it should be safer than continuing forward."
Hearing Daniel speak as such, Li Jing gently raised his eyebrows.
This young man was quite decisive.
His judgment on the situation was also very clear.
He didn’t even hope that he could go with them to provide some protection.
After thinking for a while, Li Jing casually took out two Lower God Patterns and handed them to Daniel, talking to him about it.
"Take these: two Lower God Patterns. Don’t let the Supreme Court notice it, and don’t let anyone else know. You and your female companion are not strong enough to absorb them at the moment, so keep them for now. When the two of you have enough proficiency to absorb it, there will be a surprise."
As Li Jing handed over the items, Daniel instinctively caught them.
Upon hearing Li Jing’s remarks, he was stunned.
This man...
What did he just say?
These two crystals are God Patterns!?
The symbol of the position of the gods in the belief of the Supreme Court?
Is this...
Real or false?
Before he could react, Li Jing smiled.
"Take the kindness all the way, escort Buddhas to the West, since you want to go out, let me give you a ride."
As he spoke, he punched through the space.
The space broke, and immediately engulfed everyone, including Daniel and the female mage, taking them to the border between the broken space and the sea of death.
Being such a kind-hearted person, Li Jing, of course, was too lazy to explain too much to Daniel.
After sending everyone away, he took out the Supreme God Pattern he had just acquired, and his black eyes turned gold.
He observed the Eye of True Vision and was confirmed that it was indeed a Supreme God Pattern.
Despite it being shattered, the energy contained within is almost five hundred times that of a Superior God Pattern, which makes holding it in hand feel alarming.
"Ling Ling, can this thing still be used?" Li Jing asked.
"It’s broken, so it most definitely can’t be used directly."
Ling Ling pouted out of his collar and squeaked.
"But if you have a sufficiently powerful Superior God Pattern, you can become a Supreme after absorbing it. Such a good thing met by chance, your luck is indescribable. The God Clan at the highest level has only produced seven Supreme positions after millions of years of development, with an average of one appearing every million years."
While she was saying this, she drooled.
"If you don’t want it, you can give it to me as a snack. I’ve grown this big, but I’ve never eaten a Supreme God Pattern."
Li Jing smirked on hearing these words and silently pocketed the shattered Supreme God Pattern.
This thing is capable of manifesting a Supreme.
How can he just let Ling Ling eat this casually?
If a Supreme God is manifested, doesn’t it smell good?
Seeing that Li Jing put the thing in his pocket, Ling Ling felt frustrated and her mouth pouted high.
Seeing this movement, Li Jing smiled and consoled her.
"Don’t have your eyes on this piece; I can see that it doesn’t belong to the Supreme God System. Since there is such a piece, there have to be more in this Fragmented Space. I promise you, if I find more than four pieces later, I’ll give you one."
?
Ling Ling slowly asked a question.
Four pieces?
Is Li Jing dreaming?
Then why is he so greedy?
The Supreme God Clan has only produced seven Supreme positions in millions of years, can he really find four pieces in this broken place?
What does he want so many for?
Li Jing did not provide Ling Ling with any additional explanation.
Now that there may be a Supreme God to be made, he also has the motivation to continue to find the God Pattern. Carrying Ling Ling, he ascended into the sky.
"Let’s keep going south, see where there are God Patterns. If we pass by, we will pick it up."
