I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

The river of destiny.

Chen Lin was familiar with the route and entered the River of Destiny again to start a new exploration.

The energy ball he had used last time had made him want more, so he had no interest in things of destiny like the Origin Ball.

Compared with the energy ball, the origin ball is just like white water.

Moreover, Daisy also said that there were not only energy balls in the River of Destiny, but also other spiritual objects. If he could obtain them, his talents and abilities would be greatly enhanced.

Follow the realm of destiny into the river.

I first checked the surrounding environment and saw that it was no different from the last time I came in, so I started exploring with confidence.

But this time my luck wasn't so good.

Go down the river.

I swam for a whole incense stick of time without encountering a single energy ball.

There is no need to think about other spiritual creatures.

Chen Lin stopped.

I thought about it.

Change direction and swim back.

First swim back to the border of the realm of destiny, pause for a moment, and after making sure the direction is correct, start swimming upstream.

With his current level, he cannot locate himself at a long distance in the River of Destiny, so he must ensure the direction is correct.

Otherwise getting lost here is no joke.

Another stick of incense passed.

Still finding nothing, Chen Lin began to explore horizontally.

That's when he discovered.

It was very difficult to move sideways, as there was an invisible obstacle. If he had not condensed the 'Golden Elixir of Innateness', he would not have been able to do it.

After some investigation.

Chen Lin confirmed a few things.

The River of Destiny is not very wide, roughly estimated to be less than a hundred feet.

There is a dark space at the end of both sides.

This dark space seemed to be full of dangers. As long as he got a little closer, his reverse scales would feel extremely painful, and his fish body would also show signs of weakening.

The height of the river is even shorter.

It's less than ten feet deep from top to bottom. If you move fast, you can get out without paying attention.

It was also dark below the river.

It was not much different from the ones on both sides, except that it was darker and deeper, and nothing could be seen.

The surface of the river was bright, just like the last time Gu Siming went fishing with him.

After the investigation, Chen Lin had an idea in his mind.

It is basically certain that the River of Destiny is real and it is the same river every time you enter.

But this also made Chen Lin very confused.

With his current vision, he still cannot fully understand the existence principle of the "River of Laws", which is a bit too abstract.

Since the law is energy, which is an illusory thing, how can it be manifested in the form of a physical entity?

Or.

Is it the river of laws that existed first, and then the laws?

Where is the source of the river of laws, and where does it ultimately flow to? Is it formed naturally or is it created?

Is it related to the Heavenly Dao?

Questions come to my mind one after another.

But there is no answer.

Chen Lin also discussed this matter with Gu Siming, but the other party was vague in his response, seeming to know something but not fully understand it.

The same goes for Jin Ruhua and other real realm masters.

Knowing the fact but not the reason,

Everyone knows that there is a river of laws. When one practices a certain law to a certain level, one can sense the corresponding river of laws and gain benefits from it.

Those with talent have even more advantages.

According to Jin Ruhua's analysis, the River of Rules should be the essence of rules, a product derived from the natural world.

Chen Lin was skeptical about this.

He had thought so before, but after entering the River of Destiny himself, he became uncertain again, especially the sudden fork, which did not seem to be formed naturally at all.

It's more like someone is manipulating it.

Or it could be the effect of some treasure.

At this time.

Chen Lin thought of Ximen Wuxue.

The other party's innate ability is the strongest he has ever seen. At a low level, he can enter the river of time and obtain the crystal of origin.

And he can only do it after he enters the real realm.

"I don't know if he's still alive."

Chen Lin muttered secretly.

He decided to inform Leng Yue as soon as he returned, add Ximen Wuxue's name to the task list, and intensify the search.

The other party once said that he wanted to explore a mysterious place that was related to the Supreme Law and should be able to learn some secrets.

The other party has also arrived in Shangyuan Domain. As long as he is still alive, he will definitely be found. If that doesn't work, he will use the communication talisman that the other party gave him to see if he can use the altar to locate him.

While thinking in his mind, Chen Lin did not stop and continued to swim along the surface of the river.

But he didn't dare jump out of the water.

The last time Gu Siming went fishing left him with a big shadow. Although his talent strength has been improved now, the River of Destiny connects the inside and outside of the Boundary River. It is hard to say what kind of powerful person will target him, so it is better to be cautious.

Back to the starting point.

I thought about it.

Chen Lin changed his route and went upstream.

Now that I'm here, I have to get something before I go back.

Don't make this trip in vain.

The reason he chose to swim upstream was because he planned to swim farther, and when he could not swim anymore, it would be easier to swim back downstream.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Two quarters of an hour.

Half an hour.

After swimming for an hour, Chen Lin finally felt tired.

In fact, the resistance of this river is very large, and it is not as easy as in my own destiny field. Fortunately, my talent level has been improved, otherwise I would not be able to swim for such a long time in one breath.

of course.

Not to the limit yet.

The power of destiny in the long river of destiny is rich and pure, and you can continue after a short rest.

But Chen Lin didn't plan to move forward.

He hasn't found anything for such a long time, which means he is unlucky on this trip. Anyway, his worldly vows have not been consumed, so he can come back after a while.

Thinking of this, I turned back.

"Ok?"

After swimming downstream for less than half a quarter of an hour, Chen Lin stopped.

He looked forward in uncertainty.

I saw that the river, which was originally a whole, now had forks, and there were not just two, but as many as ten!

“Will the river change again?”

Chen Lin felt heavy in his heart.

If a fork can occur once, it can occur countless times, which is not a good phenomenon.

This shows that his previous speculation was wrong. The river of destiny is not as big as it seems, but there are countless possibilities.

This is also in line with the unpredictable nature of fate.

But it brought him trouble.

If the fork is in front, the worst case scenario is to return to the original path and explore again when you have a way to deal with it.

But the change happened on the way back.

As long as you make the wrong choice, you may end up like Daisy, lost in the river of fate.

and also.

The number of river forks also gave Chen Lin some associations.

His basic talent is to hit the target ten times out of ten. But this river has ten branches. Is it a coincidence or a destiny?

If it is an arrangement, what is the purpose?

Who arranged this?

Chen Lin swam his body and looked at each fork.

Nothing can be seen.

Then try using your talent.

But it still doesn't work.

He himself is already in the river of destiny and has no way of showing his own realm of destiny.

It is also possible that his talent level is not high enough.

But no matter what, he now has only three choices.

One is to randomly choose a fork and see if you can return to the node connecting his destiny area.

You can also try your talent of hitting the target ten times. When you were breaking through the tower in the Lianmortal Chapter, you used the ability of hitting the target ten times to select the light ball.

Then he left the holy tower.

This shows that his basic talent, when used in destiny selection, is not limited to only making items.

But winning ten times is a bit useless. There are only ten forks here. If there is no change in the middle, then winning ten times is meaningless, because you have to go through all ten forks at once.

Another option.

That is to continue swimming upstream.

The fact that Daisy can enter the secret valley means that the River of Destiny has nodes connecting to the outside world. As long as she finds one, she can escape from the river.

The landing point cannot be determined.

Once you fall into some dangerous place or abyss, you are in danger of turning into ashes.

But it's not without benefits.

If he is lucky enough and comes across a node connecting to the alien domain, he can directly cross the wall of the boundary river and go to the alien domain.

His soul level is now at least level four, and his physical body level has improved a lot, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to stay in the alien domain.

However, Chen Lin doesn't want to go to the alien domain now, and has no interest in such a gamble.

The last option is simple.

Just keep going upwards and jump out of the river. As for what will happen, it is still unknown.

Chen Lin fixed the fish's body in the river and thought quickly about which option would be most appropriate.

First give up jumping out of the river.

Because he is now the fish of destiny. Even if he is lucky and is not discovered after jumping out, he will eventually have to return to the river.

Having escaped from the River of Destiny, he could not return to his body, and it was questionable whether he could survive.

There is a high probability that you will not survive.

Moreover, the fish of destiny cannot fly, so it jumps out just to see the scenery.

"It looks like we have no choice but to break in."

Chen Lin put away his thoughts and came to the first fork.

If you continue to go upstream, you will go further and further away. Once a second fork appears, there will be no chance of returning.

Having made the decision, Chen Lin no longer hesitated.

There is no self-blame either.

He solves problems when they arise. Although he acts cautiously, he will not be discouraged when he encounters setbacks.

The fish swung its body.

It turned into a stream of light and rushed into the fork.

Was not hit.

Chen Lin felt relieved.

If it is just a normal tributary and there is no other danger, then there is no need to worry.

Just look for it slowly.

However, to be on the safe side, he activated the Ring of Destiny, and a golden halo enveloped him.

After tea time.

Chen Lin slowed down and looked at the narrowing river in front of him. He felt that it should not be the one connecting to the main river.

Give it some thought.

The body turned and returned to the entrance upstream.

There was no danger along the way and no new forks appeared, which finally made Chen Lin breathe a sigh of relief.

have a break.

Continue to the second one.

This tributary became wider and wider, and in the end it was even more than a hundred feet wide, wider than the main river!

wrong.

Chen Lin reacted immediately.

We cannot use subjective thinking to consider the problem. There is no evidence at all to prove that the river connected to his domain space is the main river.

Maybe it's also a branch.

Even this river of destiny has no main river, or rather, all rivers are the main river.

Trouble!

Chen Lin had a bad feeling.

He wanted to return to his body through conventional means, but he was afraid that it would be impossible unless he had something that could locate the node of his destiny realm.

Such a treasure must exist.

Chen Lin even felt that there should be a method that could directly allow the Fish of Destiny to return to its own destiny realm.

Otherwise, who would dare to enter the long river of destiny.

It's a pity that he can't.

There was no point in thinking too much, so Chen Lin moved forward and observed for a while, then returned to the fork entrance.

Then it enters other tributaries one by one.

After entering all the branches, Chen Lin's hopes were dashed, and the ten-shot winning streak did not inspire him.

I don't know if the conditions were not met or if this ability is invalid here.

How to do?

Chen Lin asked himself.

I explored all ten branches and found no danger, but I still couldn't find the way back.

Each tributary is similar and yet different.

But there are some differences.

One of the branches is a little different from the others.

It is the ninth tributary.

This tributary only advanced for half a cup of tea before a new fork appeared.

And there are five forks.

It matches the number of hits he will get after his talent is upgraded for the first time.

Also.

After other tributaries advance to a certain distance, the reverse scales all have a vague feeling of discomfort.

It seemed to be reminding him that he was in danger.

But there was no feeling in the ninth branch either.

That being the case.

Chen Lin took it as guidance from talent and followed the ninth tributary, then explored five new forks in turn.

After a stick of incense.

All five forks were entered.

The situation is the same as before.

The fork appears again in the third tributary.

This time there are three.

Having come to this point, Chen Lin no longer hesitated, and quickened his pace, quickly completing the exploration of the three tributaries.

Then we came to a fork in the road between two tributaries.

Chen Lin watched intently.

He didn't know whether talent played a role in his previous choice, but he knew that this time, he could only rely on luck to choose between the two.

There was no holding back.

After Chen Lin failed to predict the future again, he randomly chose a tributary and slowly swam into it.

You found the right one!

As soon as Chen Lin entered the tributary, he felt a sense of familiarity and had a vague connection with his own domain space.

He suddenly brightened up.

His natural ability was indeed strong, and from the beginning till now, it had enabled him to escape danger countless times.

In order to prevent further mutations, Chen Lin did not delay and swam quickly following the sensation. In less than half a cup of tea, he arrived near the node.

Chen Lin blew out a string of bubbles.

The fish's tail drew a beautiful arc, passed directly through the node and disappeared into the river.

After a few breaths.

Thin lines appear in the river, in all colors, very beautiful

These thin lines formed a fine net, which was pushed past the place where Chen Lin disappeared, as if catching something.

But nothing was caught.

The fine net shook for a moment, then collapsed into thin lines again.

Followed by.

The threads began to change positions, with the same color gathering together and then intertwining and entwining.

In the blink of an eye.

All the thin lines gathered together and turned into a flower the size of a bowl.

Each flower of this flower is a different color.

It gives people a weird feeling.

If Chen Lin saw it, he would be able to recognize it. This flower is exactly the same as the seven-colored flower in the abyss of the Five Elements Realm!

But the petals of this flower are incomplete. It should have seven petals in total, but now it has only five.

There are two pieces left vacant.

Whoosh!

A fish more than two feet long swam over.

Open your mouth and bite the flower.

He circled around the place where Chen Lin had just disappeared twice, and then his eyes showed disappointment.

And then quickly went away.
