I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2126 Don't Let It Get Away

No boundaries.

Northern part of the Broken Soul Continent.

After the prison formation was opened, this place was also affected. The original powerful people's cultivation levels dropped, and new forces took the opportunity to seize resources, resulting in chaos.

Chen Lin first went to the Nanmen family's residence.

Upon learning that Nanmen Lingyue had not returned, he gave up the idea of ​​meeting her and headed straight for the Wuhun Sect's mountain gate.

"Ok?"

As soon as Chen Lin arrived outside the gate, he realized something was wrong.

A huge mountain has appeared here, with many pavilions and towers built on it, and cultivators come and go from time to time.

"who?"

A gatekeeper noticed Chen Lin and immediately went up to ask him questions.

Chen Lin gently flicked his wrist.

The young monk's eyes became glazed over.

"What's your name? Where is this place?"

"My name is Shen Xian. This is Beiling Mountain. I am a disciple of the Beiling Sect."

The young monk answered mechanically.

"The Northern Spirit Sect? What happened to the original Soulless Sect? Did it move away?"

Chen Lin continued to ask.

The Soulless Sect is a top-tier power on this continent. Although it only has one ancestor, the Soulless Ancestor, its reputation is so great that he believes no other sect would dare to seize it.

"The Soulless Sect has disbanded and sold the spiritual veins here to our Northern Spirit Sect."

Chen Lin frowned slightly.

He immediately asked again, "Where is the Soulless Ancestor? Do you know where he went?"

"do not know."

The gatekeeper shook his head repeatedly.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Chen Lin stopped wasting time and flashed into the mountain gate.

In the main hall.

The sect leader of the Northern Spirit Sect bowed respectfully to Chen Lin.

"This junior from Qianshan pays his respects to Your Excellency. I was unaware of Your Excellency's arrival and have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me."

"you know me?"

Chen Lin looked at the other person in surprise.

Yu Qianshan immediately said, "Your esteemed name has long resounded throughout the entire Boundless Realm. You are the savior of the entire Inner World. I had the honor of meeting you near the Soul-Severing Tower before, and I have always kept it in my heart."

"hehe."

Chen Lin smiled.

He waved his hand and said, "No need to flatter me. I won't steal anything from your Northern Spirit Sect. I'm just asking when the Soulless Ancestor left, where he went, and whether he left anything behind."

Yu Qianshan felt a sense of relief.

"Reporting to you, my lord, the Soulless Ancestor left three years ago, and no one knows where he went. However, one of his disciples left a letter for me to deliver to you."

"Please wait a moment, sir, I will go and fetch it for you right away."

Chen Lin was speechless for a moment.

This guy is so long-winded. If he has a letter, he should just show it. Why all this nonsense?

Not a moment later.

Yu Qianshan walked out from behind, holding an exquisite box in his hand.

After opening.

He took out an envelope covered in runes and handed it to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin glanced at it.

It was immediately apparent that the envelope was specially made, using a soul-sealing technique. Once opened, it could not be restored, effectively preventing spying.

The aura above originated from Sun Chuxue.

"Is this all? Were there any other items left?"

Chen Lin put the envelope away and asked.

Yu Qianshan became uneasy again and hurriedly swore, "This junior swears that there is only this one letter, and this junior guarantees that he will not divulge this matter. If he lies, he will be punished by Heaven!"

"do not be afraid."

Chen Lin took out some elixirs and magical artifacts.

He placed the treasures on the table and said, "I am not a bloodthirsty person, and I would never kill someone to silence them. These treasures are your good fortune."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure disappeared into the hall.

I waited for quite a while.

Yu Qianshan breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped forward, picked up the treasure to examine it, and immediately revealed a look of ecstatic joy.

far away.

Chen Lin's figure became visible.

I found a place to sit down and took out the envelope.

Infused with soul power, the runes on the envelope immediately began to flash before dissipating, leaving only a piece of paper covered with delicate handwriting.

It is Sun Chuxue's handwriting.

"When you see this letter, my sister and I will have already left the Seven Star Realm with our master and headed to a certain place in the Star Ruins."

“We wanted Master to tell the adult how to leave, but Master said that the adult has his own destiny and doesn’t need his passage, and that passage is too dangerous for the adult.”

"However, I still managed to secretly figure out the approximate location."

"That passage should be in the Sea of ​​Broken Souls. If you can find it, please use it if you wish, since I don't sense any danger and I don't think there will be any major problems."

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin's expression shifted.

Is there actually a passage in the Sea of ​​Broken Souls that leads away from the Seven Star Realm?

This is truly unexpected.

Then I thought about it.

Since it was the Soulless Ancestor's escape route, it's normal for it to be in the Soul-Severing Sea. Otherwise, given the opponent's strength, there would be no need for him to stay here.

However, whether or not to use this channel requires careful consideration.

The Sun sisters can be trusted, but the Soulless Ancestor is too mysterious. This information was definitely left by the other party on purpose, and it's hard to say whether they had any ulterior motives.

Read on.

"besides."

"My master told me to inform the adults not to use the Soul-Unlocking Technique lightly. Once the soul's restrictions are broken, it can easily escape. He suffered because of this, which is why he ended up like this."

Can the soul really run away?
Chen Lin looked utterly bewildered.

Isn't the soul the very essence of oneself? How can it run away? And where can it run to? If the soul runs away, it is no longer oneself.
Questions arose one by one.

But since the other party has given such a serious warning, there must indeed be such dangers involved in the Soul Removal process, so we really need to be careful.

"I originally wanted to ask my master for the secret technique of independent physical existence. After all, you have a deep understanding of the soul and will come into contact with the method of soul liberation sooner or later. Perhaps it would be useful. However, my master said that the secret techniques of our sect are not passed on to outsiders unless you become his disciple. I think you will not agree, so I can only give up on this matter."

"But you must remember, sir, that before you have a way to deal with it, do not attempt to release its soul, not even once. Do not let it escape."

Chen Lin's expression turned serious.

Cultivation is truly a pitfall at every step; who would have thought that the soul could escape?

His original plan was to attempt soul liberation before leaving the Seven Star Realm, because he believed that after soul liberation, his soul would be comparable to a ruler, reaching the minimum standard for cultivating the Soul Master Technique.

Fortunately, we didn't rush.

Fortunately, the Sun sisters became disciples of the Soulless Ancestor and had a good relationship with him, leaving behind this letter. If he hadn't obtained this letter, he would definitely have fallen into the trap of soul-dissolving.

but.

Chen Lin pondered deeply.

He believed that after the baptism of the Soul Master's inheritance, the soul itself had become a living entity and might not attempt to escape again. However, he could not be careless and needed to find out more before making any decisions.

Hopefully, after Xiaohua wakes up this time, she will regain more of her memories. Given the other party's identity, she should be able to know the details of the soul-breaking procedure.

Let's turn our attention back to the content.

“My master said I am from the original race and that I am hiding a huge secret, so that no one can know my identity.”

"Please remember to keep this a secret, my lord. We will definitely meet again when you arrive at Star Ruins. Then my sister and I will take you on a journey through Star Ruins."

"All right."

"Actually, it's nothing much. I left this letter to tell you, my lord, that Master treats us sisters very well, so you don't need to worry. Also, my sister is deeply in love with you, but she's too shy to say it herself, so I'm making it clear for her. Please remember to leave a place for my sister among your harem beauties, hehe."

The content abruptly ended.

Followed by.

The letter spontaneously combusted without wind and turned to ashes.

Chen Lin gazed into the distance, looking at the dim sky, lost in thought.

The Soulless Ancestor was indeed from the Star Ruins. He was once a master of the Soul Dao, but his soul ran away when he was dissolving his soul, so he began to focus on cultivating his physical body.

Also.

In her letter, Sun Chuxue mentioned that the soul-splitting ritual might not only happen once, but perhaps twice, three times, or even more.

In other words.

Each attempt to release a soul could result in the soul escaping.

This matter greatly surprised and puzzled Chen Lin.

How can the soul run away?

Why does my soul wander? What force is trapping it? What is the trapped soul, or is it even myself?

There must be a major secret hidden here, and Chen Lin would not feel at ease until he found out.

Don't even mention soul-cleansing.

Even during normal cultivation, one would have doubts.

There's also the primordial race that Sun Chuxue mentioned. The word "primordial" carries a very special meaning, and it's probably what the Soulless Ancestor really has his eye on.

But it's no use thinking about it now that the person is gone.

Chen Lin composed himself.

He leaped into the air and headed straight for the Sea of ​​Broken Souls.

A month later.

After thoroughly exploring the entire Broken Soul Seabed, they discovered more than a dozen suspected passageways.

Then they verified it in more detail.

Finally, a few targets were identified, but these were all ancient ruins. Even if there were passages, they were only altar-type teleportation methods, and Chen Lin did not know how to activate them. He would need to crack them if he wanted to use them.

That's where a professional comes in.

In the days that followed, Chen Lin wandered around the underworld. This might be the last time he appeared in these places, as there were some people and things he needed to deal with.

With his methods, crossing lower-level interfaces was a piece of cake. He could finish what he wanted to do in a few months and find Yang Zishi and the others along the way. Void rifts could appear anywhere at any time, and safety could not be guaranteed.

Return to the Kaiyuan Realm.

Chen Lin entrusted the task of breaking the altar to Elder Wen Jing'an of the Array Hall, while he went around collecting books on souls, hoping to obtain information about 'soul escape'.

pity.

He searched almost the entire Void Realm for information, but found not a single clue. Even the extraordinary people on the Island of Extraordinary People had never heard of anything like it.

In the end, they had no choice but to give up.

With such a hidden danger, Chen Lin dared not attempt to dispel the soul.

He suppressed the urge to immediately rescue Niu Niu and shifted his focus of cultivation to other areas, primarily enhancing the True Fire of the Sun and exploring the River of Destiny.

At the same time, the promotion status of Tian Shu and Wen Xin Zhao should also be taken into account.

Time is like running water.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The situation in the Void Realm is getting worse and worse.

The strange beasts were not difficult for Chen Lin to deal with. He even hunted down the strange beast in the Sea of ​​Despair, which was close to the level of the Sovereign, and used it as nourishment for Tian Shu.

After the soul upgrade, the power of the Soul-Destroying Finger was enhanced again, making it easier to deal with monsters than with cultivators.

But while the monsters were easy to deal with, the void rifts were a different story.

Wen Xinzhao is currently in seclusion, and other array masters don't even have the ability to get close to the rift. Even if Wen Xinzhao were to take action personally, it would be useless.

Because the aura emanating from the void rift is of a very high level and extremely corrosive, low-dimensional array materials are simply unusable.

Before the setup is complete, the materials will be eroded and mutated. Some materials with spiritual properties will even be corrupted into strange beasts, which are extremely troublesome.

Chen Lin couldn't solve this problem either.

Materials for high-dimensional arrays are hard to obtain. There might be some in the quill pen scene, but entering it requires completing a life mission. If he takes on another mission, the difficulty will definitely increase, and he has no confidence that he can come out alive.

Chen Ling'er is the same.

The second mission was also quite dangerous, and he didn't want the other party to take that risk.

of course.

There are still people willing to go in.

This is the best shortcut to becoming a top expert. The world has never lacked people who dare to take risks, especially those cultivators who know they cannot survive the next Great Tribulation. This is their last lifeline.

Unfortunately, none of them returned.

Without supernatural powers like the ability to see the heavens, one would be blind inside and might not even be able to enter the top hat building alive. Success would not be easy.

And there is another difficulty.

Each entry costs one merit coin.

Otherwise, relying on sheer numbers wouldn't be without a chance of success.

After all, Yan Li was in charge of De Luo City and knew that the people who entered from the outside were all appointed by him. They would not kill each other on sight, but would even help each other. However, merit coins were very scarce, so this method could not be used.

no way.

Chen Lin could only issue orders to have all parties collect merit coins and slowly begin the exploration.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Chen Lin felt he couldn't wait any longer and was preparing to hire an eternal expert from Qiren Island to oversee the situation, while he went to Guardian Hut Village to check on things, a visitor arrived from the Kaiyuan Realm.

"Congratulations, Alliance Leader, on mastering your divine skill!"

Chen Lin smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

The person who arrived was none other than Jin Ruhua.

The opponent was surrounded by sword energy, giving the impression of facing a barrage of ten thousand swords from a distance. Even with his strength, it was difficult for him to get close easily, clearly indicating that he had already entered the Eternal Realm.

"Hehe, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. If my physical body hadn't been destroyed, I wouldn't have been able to make the decision to use my body as a sword. It's all fate."

Jin Ruhua made no attempt to hide her joy.

Chen Lin smiled.

He joked, "The Alliance Leader has actually started to believe in fate. It seems he suffered quite a bit during this promotion. But as long as the result is good, that's all that matters. There has been a huge change in the entire Boundary River. Only when the Alliance Leader commands the heroes can it be resolved."

Jin Ruhua rolled her eyes at Chen Lin.

"You're just trying to exploit me. There are countless powerful figures in the Void Realm, and there are also those formidable people on the Island of Strange People. Any one of them is stronger than me. Besides, with you, the number one powerhouse in the Rainbow Realm, there's no reason for me to step in."

"Don't flatter me to death, Alliance Leader."

Chen Lin hurriedly waved his hand.

He doesn't need the title of number one; keeping a low profile is the only way to survive long.

There was no more teasing.

He briefly explained his plan to rescue Niu Niu.

“I have been dragging this matter out for five years. I can’t delay any longer. Going there would be a life-or-death situation. I don’t trust anyone else. Only by handing over Kaiyuan Realm to the Alliance Leader can I be free from worries.”

Chen Lin said solemnly.
