I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2100 Heart
After reviewing the information provided by the token, Chen Lin realized the difficulty of the mission.

First, his physical limitations imposed a constraint on him.

As a member of the superior bloodline of the Red Ape Clan, he is unable to cultivate anything other than the Heaven-Opening and Earth-Creating Divine Art.

But he happens to have memories of his past life.

The Dao heart formed through thousands of years of cultivation in his previous life suppressed the indomitable will inherent in his bloodline, making it difficult to make progress in this divine skill.

Then there's the Heavenly Palace.

Judging from the image in the token, this Heavenly God Palace has a small number of people, but each 'Heavenly God' is extremely powerful. If compared with the realm of the Seven Star Realm, even the most ordinary Heavenly God is at the True Realm level.

He can only be considered to be in the Qi Refining stage at present.

The gap is too big.

With a difference of more than ten major realms and limitations in their own cultivation, attempting to complete the task is pure wishful thinking.

"What a disastrous start!"

Chen Lin couldn't help but complain.

He originally thought the white treasure chest was the lowest level, but now he realized something was wrong. This level of difficulty was almost certain death, probably even higher than the ghost chest.

"That's not right either."

I thought about it.

Chen Lin then questioned himself again.

Treasure chest missions are inherently difficult. The order of difficulty levels for life missions, from lowest to highest, is: life letters, guide ships, and finally life treasure chests.

Such difficulty is not surprising.

Moreover, the current situation is because his Dao heart is incompatible with the Red Ape Clan's cultivation method. If the Silver Fairy were to complete this task, it would be like a fish in water.

"Ugh."

Chen Lin shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

One's Daoist heart cannot be changed at will; there is no point in dwelling on it.

The current focus should be on how to improve our strength.

Also.

We also need to find out the mission's end time and the average lifespan of the Red Ape Clan before we can formulate a targeted plan.

Chen Lin placed the token in front of him.

This token has a unique design; most of it is relatively narrow, while the rest widens abruptly, and the tip is inlaid with three gemstones, each with a strange pattern.

It doesn't look normal at all.

Chen Lin felt that the token might contain some hidden secrets, so he tried to inject the 'Red Ape Power' from his body into it, but nothing changed.

Other methods were also tried.

None of them worked.

then.

He checked the statue again from top to bottom to make sure there was nothing that matched the token, and then walked through the underground passage with the token in his hand.

But the token still didn't react at all.

"Did I guess wrong?"

Chen Lin stroked his chin thoughtfully.

In the end, he still felt something was wrong; based on his experience, there was definitely something fishy about this token.

I thought about it.

He picked up the metal rod, placed the token on the statue's feet, and channeled the power of the Red Ape, swinging the rod to smash it down.

Click!

The token shattered upon impact.

Chen Lin was stunned.

He hadn't expected the token to be so fragile, so he hurriedly went to check it. He had only used ten percent of his strength just now, only wanting to test it out, and had no intention of destroying the token.

Come closer.

After prying apart the fragments of the token, Chen Lin's expression changed slightly.

After the token shattered, a key about three inches long was hidden inside. It was dark red and emitted a faint luster.

This key is quite peculiar.

It is neither a regular sheet nor a stick, but a hexagon, with a notch on each side unique to a key.

Chen Lin picked up the keys.

He examined it for a while.

He leaped onto the statue's shoulder, looked at the statue's ear, and gestured; the ear hole and the key were a perfect match.

No hesitation.

Chen Lin inserted the key into his ear piercing.

After twisting it left and right a few times, a click was heard, as if a mechanism had been opened, and then the statue began to crack piece by piece, shattering into pieces on the ground in an instant.

A pitch-black hole appeared on the ground.

I didn't even have time to check.

He then felt his heart resonate with something inside the cave, pounding rhythmically.

Chen Lin's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

His mind conjured images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and an endless killing intent erupted. This killing intent overwhelmed his original will, and he felt as if he were bound by countless shackles that he had to break free of in order to clear his mind.

"what!"

He pounded his chest with both fists and roared in resentment.

"Boom!"

"Dong dong!"

The sounds from the cave entrance grew louder and louder, and Chen Lin's heart pounded violently, as if something was calling to him.

He walked towards the cave entrance without even realizing it.

Jump down.

My body passed through a strange energy band and then landed in a dimly lit space.

The entire space contained nothing but a gigantic heart, suspended in mid-air at its center, constantly beating.

Chen Lin woke up with a start.

The mindset honed over a long period of time will be exceptionally suppressed, no longer affected by the resonance of the heart, and will be wary of the situation in front of it.

The fact that a single heart can still beat indicates that its owner was extremely powerful in life.

Even if they haven't reached the point of being able to regenerate from a drop of blood, they are close to being immortal and indestructible, at the very least they are eternal, or even at the level of a ruler!

This is a high-dimensional interface.

Even if they are both at the Eternal Realm, they can still crush cultivators from lower-dimensional worlds.

and so.

Even though it's just a heart, if someone wanted to possess him, he wouldn't be able to resist.

“Finally someone has arrived.”

A deep voice rang out, a voice that was naturally easy to understand.

Chen Lin took a few steps back again.

He spoke into his heart, asking, "Who are you, and what do you want?"

This heart could not only beat, but also speak, which made him wary.

"who am I?"

The deep voice seemed stumped by the question, and remained silent for a long time.

a long time.

The sound rang out again.

"I am Red Eyes, also known as the Ape Ancestor. Because I was unwilling to be oppressed by those high and mighty beings, I stormed the Heavenly Palace and was then suppressed, leaving only this indomitable heart."

Chen Lin's eyes flashed as he listened.

Ancestor of the Apes?

To storm the Heavenly Palace?

It sounds a bit like the script for "The Monkey King".

However, the two cannot be the same person, as their worldviews and cultivation systems are very different.

Moreover, if we really want to make a comparison, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is only at the high level of the Eternal Realm in this world, not yet a ruler, and cannot be considered the top powerhouse.

President.

That's at the level of a Dao Ancestor.

However, the Monkey King has an extremely strong fighting spirit, and it is not impossible for him to defeat enemies of a higher level, so a simple comparison is not possible.

"I used my lifeblood to continue the bloodline, forming the Crimson Ape Clan in this world, and sealed myself here, waiting for a descendant who can break the seal."

The low, muffled sound continued.

Chen Lin put aside his distracting thoughts and listened attentively to the other person's story.

Regardless of the other party's origins, they must be related to the Red Ape Clan, otherwise he wouldn't have resonated with them.

"More than 10,000 years have passed, and no descendant with pure bloodline has ever appeared. I thought I would perish completely with regret, but I never expected that the will of my clan should not be extinguished."

The voice became high-pitched.

He continued, "Remember this: those beings in the Heavenly Palace are all hypocrites. My Crimson Ape Clan will never submit to anyone. Even if it means our extinction, we will break through the clouds and gain our freedom!"

There was a pause.

My heart spun around once.

It seemed they were watching Chen Lin. "You possess the purest bloodline, having already reached the royal level. Then lead the Crimson Ape clan to conquer the Heavenly Palace and let all the gods and demons witness the glory of our race!"

Chen Lin's lips twitched slightly.

He originally wanted to tell the other party that their Red Ape Clan had probably been wiped out, and even he was a fake.

But after thinking about it, I still didn't say anything.

Because the other party is just a heart.

Judging from the tone, they were at their limit. They said that the other party had no way to revive those people, so it would be best to give them any good things.

"I will obey the Ancestor's orders!"

Chen Lin bowed respectfully.

"very good."

My heart skipped two beats.

"I can't hold on any longer. The glory of the Red Ape Clan will be entrusted to you from now on. I have nothing left to give you, so I'll give you my last drop of heart's blood to help you strengthen your indomitable spirit!"

The deep voice finished speaking.

The enormous heart contracted sharply, then burst open with a bang.

But the flesh and blood were drawn together by some invisible energy, wriggling and turning into a drop of crystal-clear blood.

A sense of longing rose in Chen Lin's heart.

My heart was pounding like a drum; it almost flew out of my chest to swallow the drop of blood.

The blood was also drawn by his heart, slowly approaching.

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment.

He accepted the blood entering his body without hesitation.

no way.

He currently has no means to improve his strength, and if he doesn't accept this drop of blood, he will basically lose all hope of completing the mission.

So even if there's something wrong with this drop of blood, he has no other choice.

Blood seeped into his chest.

Chen Lin felt a buzzing in his head, and his whole body entered a strange state.

His body began to swell, reaching over ten feet in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and it was still growing.

Its golden fur became thicker and had a golden sheen.

Each one is like a tiny golden arrow.

Its strength has also increased several times over.

Chen Lin estimated that his current physical strength was comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

The most significant change was in the heart.

After that drop of crystal-clear blood was absorbed by his heart, he suddenly activated his inner vision ability, and could clearly see that his heart had turned golden and could change and contract according to his will.

When he lets his heart swell to its maximum.

He seemed to have entered a berserk state, his eyes turned crimson, his strength increased several times over, and a pure, indomitable spirit arose within him.

All I want to do is fight, fight some more, and crush all my enemies under my feet!
But after the heart contracts.

The berserk state immediately dissipated, all indicators returned to normal, and his mind returned to its original state.

It's like having a dual personality.

"At least they've provided some resources."

Chen Lin clenched his fist and muttered something under his breath.

He believed that the drop of blood was a starting resource given by the mission, or a reward for surviving the first level.

With the berserk state, he could cultivate the Heaven-Opening and Earth-Creating Divine Art. Although completing the mission was still a long shot, at least there was no hope left.

We tried it several more times.

He realized that the change in state was controlled by his heart, and he also gained the inheritance of cultivation insights. What satisfied Chen Lin the most was that after obtaining the inheritance, he also mastered the language of this world.

"This kind of start is still considered normal."

Chen Lin surveyed the space, activated his berserk state, and with a few leaps, jumped out of the cave entrance.

There was no further delay.

I randomly chose a direction and quickly left the mountains.

A few months later.

Chen Lin arrived at a city.

Very simple.

The city walls were all made of adobe, and the buildings inside the city were sparse, totaling less than two hundred households.

Fulong City.

After glancing at the crooked characters on the wooden city gate, Chen Lin adjusted his leather armor and stepped into the city.

He is not currently in a berserk state.

In this state, he was only a little over six feet tall. Although he was still quite tall, he was still within the normal range and not particularly conspicuous.

Also.

He performed surgery on himself in the simplest way possible.

All ape-related features were removed, and a soft armor was put on to cover the golden fur on his chest.

He styled his hair himself, which looked a bit strange, but it was hard to associate him with the Red Ape Clan.

They even threw away the stick.

Instead, he took a large knife and slung it diagonally across his waist.

This was a last resort.

During his months-long journey, Chen Lin encountered several small settlements and gained some understanding of the current situation.

Now, most of the demonic forces have been subdued by the Heavenly God Palace.

Very few are still resisting.

In such an environment, if he were to reveal his identity as a member of the Red Ape Clan, he would immediately face certain death.

no way.

He had to disguise himself and act cautiously.

"Shopkeeper, I'd like a superior room, two catties of wild beef, and a pot of strong liquor, and bring them to the room."

Chen Lin threw out a small piece of red metal and shouted at the shopkeeper.

This metal is called Blood Gold, and it is the most widely circulated currency in this world. Because it contains a special energy that can enhance the power of one's bloodline, it is a hard currency.

It is quite valuable and has strong purchasing power.

"Alright, Room 3, the highest tier!"

The shopkeeper, with a smile on his face, put away the blood crystal and instructed the waiter to take Chen Lin upstairs.

Chen Lin glanced at it.

The shopkeeper was an old man, no different from any other normal person; his specific race was impossible to discern.

But he knew that apart from the white-robed people in the Heavenly Palace, this world had all sorts of demons and monsters, but no pure-blooded humans.

of course.

Although not human, they are quite intelligent; the only difference is their physical condition.

Moreover, after cultivating themselves, these demons and monsters will evolve into human form.

Those with a high level of evolution cannot be distinguished at all unless they actively reveal their true form.

Especially in the last century.

Because the gods in the Heavenly Palace all resemble humans, these demons and monsters try even harder to transform into human form in order to please the gods and hope to receive their rewards.

"Please come, sir!"

Xiao Er is a chubby little tiger demon who hasn't fully transformed into human form yet and doesn't possess the imposing presence of the king of beasts.

He was bowing low, adopting a fawning posture.

Chen Lin was not surprised.

They followed the other party to a room on the second floor. After the other party brought up the wine and meat, they closed the door and began to eat and drink heartily.

He was thinking about the information he had gained over the past few months.

First, let's talk about the Red Ape Clan.

He was born in the last tribe of the Red Ape Clan. According to the gods' 'oracle,' the Red Ape Clan in the entire realm had been completely wiped out, and he was proclaimed to the world as a representative of those who disobeyed.

So as long as he doesn't expose himself, he shouldn't be investigated.

Also.

He also found out about the lifespan of the Red Ape Clan.

The result was not good.

This race does not have a long lifespan. Ordinary red apes live for about a hundred years, and even those who have achieved success in cultivation can live for three or four hundred years, which is considered a long life.

The longest-lived red ape known was the previous clan leader, the Golden Ape King.

It has lived for over 800 years.

This information made Chen Lin feel a sense of urgency.

His original plan was to hide away and cultivate slowly for thousands of years, and then emerge from the mountains when he had mastered his divine skills.

Anyway, life's tasks don't take up real time, so it doesn't matter how long they're delayed.

But even the clan leader only lived for eight hundred years, so he couldn't possibly live longer than the other party.

The delaying tactic is no longer applicable.

Then the only option is to take the initiative and find a way to improve quickly.
