Unknowingly, another month had passed. Although his cultivation had only recovered by more than half due to the fact that the underground spiritual energy was too sparse, many things that he didn't understand or couldn't figure out before already had a clear answer.

However, just like what Einstein said, a person's understanding of the world was like a circle, the interior of the circle was a known circle and the exterior was an unknown. The more things one knew, the larger the circle, but the longer the boundary to the unknown.

Good and evil, right and wrong, past and future, gain and loss, life and death, feeling and ruthlessness … All these things that he did not need to think about or even think about in the past burst into his mind in this world.

When he was not cultivating, he would sit alone by the side of the lake, looking at the blue lake water, quietly pondering. Sometimes, he would sit for an entire day, and when his cultivation had recovered to this extent, he would stealthily enter the state of Fanggu, and would not need to eat. However, these questions were closely related to the laws of nature and nature.

However, with his seventeen years of life experience, how could he easily understand the logic behind all this? As he fell into contemplation over these questions, he realized that he became even more confused.

And in this sort of danger zone where no one was willing to exchange these questions with him, this only further puzzled him. The more he thought about it, the deeper he went. Even he did not realize it himself, but he had already fallen into a kind of infatuation which led to the understanding of principles within the Taoist.

In this state, as long as he could figure out these problems, whether the results he thought of were right or wrong in the world's minds, as long as he formed a firm belief, there would be no more confusion in his heart.

From then on, he would no longer have to fear the harassment of the inner demons, and would advance forward relentlessly in his cultivation.

Until now, besides training everyday and drawing a line on the wooden board, he was sitting by the lake.

Sometimes he would stare at the lake without saying a word; sometimes he would mumble to himself, answering a question as soon as it was asked. Or deny it. Time quietly passed by in this kind of infatuation …

Today, after he had finished cultivating, as usual, he sat by the lake and thought about these questions. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and just as he was trying to figure out what was going on, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in the middle of the lake.

After spinning under the water for a while, she floated straight toward him.

Lin Jin subconsciously sent his thought downwards to the lake, but to his astonishment, he found out that the image he saw in his mind was that of the shadow under the lake. It was a huge monster that was thirty to forty meters long.

While he was still in a daze, that monster had already swam to the shore at incomparable speed.

"Hua!"

Before he could figure out what kind of monster it was, a wave of blood and gore surged through the air. A head the size of a cow popped out of the water and bit at him with its mouth wide open.

At this time, Lin Jin's mind was in a state of emptiness. When he saw that the monster's mouth was about to bite him, just as he was about to dodge, a warm zhenqi suddenly rose from the endosperm and rushed into the blood channels beneath his feet.

Immediately afterwards, his soul seemed to have left his body. She actually saw her feet stomp on the ground, and then she retreated ten meters away. At the same time, the monsters collided with each other, and a terrifying sound was heard.

It was easy to imagine what the result would be if he were to be bitten by it.

It was unknown when that monster left behind this form, but its head looked like a huge bull's head, but it did not have any horns. From the mouth onwards, there were two solid edges that extended to the back of the head. It looked extremely powerful and ferocious.

When it emerged from the water, it looked like a mammal with four legs. Each leg was as thick as two people hugging each other, and their bodies were also round and bulging. At a glance, their entire bodies were even bigger than a three story tall building.

Seeing that its mouth did not manage to bite its prey, the monster was clever, at the same time, it once again bit towards where Lin Jin had appeared.

With such a huge body, it was unknown what kind of power it had to maintain such agile movements. The moment Lin Jin landed, it bit him again, and with a length of over ten meters, under his huge body, it was completely only a step away from him. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Lin Jin.

At this time, he was wondering where this monster had come from. He didn't have time to fight back, and with a thought, he retreated another twenty meters.

Judging from the monster's breathing, it looked like two thick white clouds of smoke were going in and out of the air. It was obvious that it wasn't an ordinary 'animal'. He had already been here for nearly three months, but he had never seen it.

When he first came here, he had used the spiritual consciousness to scan the lake a few times. Other than the center of the lake which he did not manage to scan to the bottom due to the lack of cultivation base, the rest of the lake was completely "seen" by him. He originally wanted to wait until his cultivation recovered to be higher before taking a look.

Could it be that this monster came out from the deep pool? For a moment, Lin Jin was confused.

After failing to bite the little thing twice, Monster was enraged. A bewitching red light appeared in his eyes.

Lin Jin was startled, but seeing the monster's stomach suddenly expand, and when it felt that something was wrong, its body suddenly shot up explosively, its entire upper body shooting out of the ground. With an extremely shocking amount of power, the monster's abdomen, which was in mid air, suddenly sank down, spitting fire at Lin Jin. The sky suddenly lit up, and a huge pillar of fire that was as red as blood spat out from its mouth.

Lin Jin never expected that this monster would actually have such an ability that almost was impossible to obtain. Surprised, he immediately dodged to the side, and the protective qi unconsciously activated, forming an incomparably strong zhen qi shield outside his body.

When the flames reached Lin Jin's body, they intersected with the zhen qi shield outside his body and emitted a sharp sound as though metal was clanging against each other.

Inside the protective shield, Lin Jin only felt a huge pressure surging over, and immediately escaped the range of the flames. Only then did he know.

Why was it that the trees that died formed a layer of charcoal on the surface and could still be left behind after being sprayed by the monsters? It could be said that the trees had a tough life, let alone just forming a layer of charcoal. When he thought about the consequences of being sprayed by the flames, Lin Jin had already completely recovered from his state of clarity. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

However, the flames were not as simple as it seemed, although Lin Jin's protective qi was ignited very quickly. However, there was still a strand of fireworks that entered his meridians through his skin before he could defend himself.

At first, he did not find anything abnormal, but when he left the range of the flame, the poisonous flame suddenly flared up in his meridians, and after burning it all the way through, unexpectedly, the two meridians in his body were roasted into a half-scorched state.

Lin Jin was startled, imperceptibly, his entire body started to revolve. It was linked to the heavens and the earth once again.

However, seeing how powerful this monster was and how small the ground was, it would be difficult to dodge it. With a thought, he leaped into the air.

At the same time, all the zhenqi in his body surged and immediately turned into a stream of cool water, rushing towards the meridians that had been destroyed by the poisonous fire.

That poisonous flame was just a tiny wisp of smoke from the monster's flame, even though it was quite strange and fierce. But when Lin Jin reacted, he was instantly expelled out of his body.

Seeing that he could fly, the red awn in the monster's eyes became even more vigorous and spewed out another mouthful of flames at him. It looked as if it would not stop until it had eaten him.

Lin Jin was not a person who would not retaliate after being bullied. Seeing the monster provoke him again and again for no reason, a trace of anger rose in his heart. At this time, he didn't even think about how far his cultivation had recovered.

When the flames were gradually weakening, Lin Jin suddenly flew from its right side, approaching to the side of the monster that was unable to see him. He quickly channeled all his energy into his hand, and struck towards the monster's gigantic head.

This palm, which Lin Jin had released out of anger, inadvertently brought along nearly eighty percent of his power, even though the style was average. But in him, he was one with the world. With his speed of flight, his palm was no less than lightning.

With a loud bang, the beast's head, which was as thick as an ox's body and extremely hard, was once again smashed into the ground, causing its four feet to hit the ground.

The beast suffered such heavy injuries, it roared in pain, then pushed itself off the ground with its claws again. Once again, it rose into the air, spitting out a mouthful of flames that were bright red like blood at Lin Jin.

The moment the flame was spat out from its mouth, Lin Jin immediately felt that something was wrong. Without even thinking, he immediately moved to the side dozens of metres, and just as he was about to stop, he saw the flame shoot towards the rock at the top of the cave.

Seeing that, Lin Jin's face changed. If this was the first time this monster spat out this kind of flame, then even if he had the protective qi's protection, he would probably be burnt to death by it.

What he didn't know was that this flame was the beast's true flame of life. Even with its ability, it would still take a lot of effort to use, so he couldn't easily spit it out.

As for Lin Jin, because of the fire's might, he became even more careful. Seeing that the beast's head was aimed at him, he immediately changed his direction, and when there was a chance, he rushed forward and attacked the beast, making it cry out loud.

However, for some reason, the entire body of this monster, including its eyelids, seemed as hard as steel. Even when Lin Jin used his entire strength to hit it, he only felt his arm go numb, and there were no marks left where he had been hit.

However, Lin Jin's body was far too small compared to the monster's. After spitting it out for half a day, most of the fire in Lin Jin's stomach had already disappeared.

It was also an intelligent being. Seeing that it was unable to do anything to the other party, the red awn in its eyes gradually disappeared and changed to an extremely depressed look. It swung its head and ignored the pain of the little thing hitting it, running straight into the lake.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from within the lake, leaving behind only the massive waves on the shore.
