I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2149 The Abandoned Land
An egg?

Chen Lin looked at the giant egg in the bottle and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He couldn't imagine why the Lu family would send this without explaining the situation, and besides, he didn't have the energy to cultivate spirit beasts right now.

"Old Qin, please take a look at this."

After looking at it for a while and still not being able to tell what kind of egg it was, Chen Lin called Old Qin over.

"This is the Lu family's blind egg."

Old Qin only glanced at it before explaining the origin of the giant egg.

Chen Lin asked in surprise, "Blind Egg? What does that mean?"

"hehe."

Old Qin smiled.

"The Lu family in this city is actually a branch of the Lu family in the Youlong Starfield. Their main job here is to help the main family collect Black Silver Dew. The Lu family is famous for cultivating spirit beasts, especially skilled at cultivating oviparous mythical beasts."

"However, although the Lu family's skills are superb, their combat strength is not top-notch, and they are often attacked by powerful individuals who try to seize their property by force."

"Without sufficient strength, the Lu family could only swallow their pride and trade away high-level spirit beasts at low prices. Later, when they could no longer bear it, they came up with the idea of ​​the blind egg."

"These eggs have been specially treated so that their original species is no longer visible, and what hatches depends entirely on luck."

"At first, it was just to deal with people who came to take advantage of us, but it gradually became the pillar industry of the Lu family and created considerable wealth for the Lu family."

Chen Lin suddenly realized.

So that's what "blind egg" means.

He asked in confusion, "No matter how well a spirit beast egg is disguised, its essence will not change. Outsiders may not be able to see through it, but the Lu family must know what it is, right?"

Old Qin shook his head.

"Shopkeeper, you may not know this, but the Lu family is able to establish itself by breeding beasts, which means they have their own strengths. They can crossbreed various spirit beasts, and no one can be sure what kind of offspring they will produce."

"And blind eggs are even more exaggerated."

"These eggs are hybrids of more than a hundred kinds of spirit beasts. Although most of them are dead eggs and cannot be hatched, there is a small chance that they will produce a mysterious breed."

"The Three-Eared Colorful Dragon of the Supreme Dragon was hatched from the blind egg of the Lu family. It advanced to the Eternal Perfection in just a thousand years and also possessed high-dimensional supernatural powers, which was extremely terrifying."

Speaking of it.

Old Qin looked at the giant egg in the bottle again.

He said, "The blind egg that Lu Xiaochuan gave to you, sir, has a very strong life force. It is definitely not a stillborn. Judging from the color and size of the egg, it should be the result of crossbreeding with a top-level spirit beast. This can be considered a way for the other party to curry favor."

"But what hatches depends on the adults' luck."

Chen Lin nodded.

He casually put the giant egg into the Fruit Core Cave.

Since there are no problems, let's keep it for now and decide whether to use it later.

Old Qin saw this.

He immediately reminded him, "If you want to try hatching, you need to nourish it with your own bloodline. This way, the hatched spirit beast will automatically recognize you as its master. If you try to control it with a contract later, the effect will be much worse."

"I see."

Chen Lin replied, but he wasn't in a hurry.

He planned to wait until he switched to his original body before recognizing a new master, since his original body possessed a talent for destiny and might be able to summon a useful spirit beast.

He pondered for a moment.

He looked at Old Qin and said, "I'm going to Dahuang Mountain next, so I'll leave this shop to you. I'll take Lin Xinyi with me, and you can command Silver Rat and Lin Xinyi's men."

"Is the master not planning to come back?"

Old Qin immediately inquired.

"Hard to say."

Chen Lin truthfully replied, "I might come back, or I might leave Dahuangxing directly, or I might even die there. But if nothing unexpected happens, I will still come back."

There was a pause.

He then instructed, "If I don't come back, keep the Black Gold Dew for now. I doubt they would dare to break their promise. Once you have the Black Gold Dew, you can leave if you wish."

"I am willing to guard this place for you, my lord, indefinitely!"

Mr. Qin responded seriously.

Chen Lin shook his head.

"There's no need. This shop is just a temporary place to stay. It doesn't matter whether it's there or not. If I want to find you, I will naturally be able to. Whether you want to continue running the shop or not is up to you."

That concludes the explanation.

Chen Lin then left the shop.

Adaya hadn't contacted him yet, but he couldn't wait any longer; he had to go to Dahuangshan to check on the situation.

The contents of the suicide note on the hat gave him a bad feeling. He decided to investigate the truth of the matter before deciding whether to participate in the struggle for Yingfei.

"Why, can't you wait?"

Just as he took off, a beam of green light shot out and met Chen Lin in front of him.

It was Adaya.

"Miss Daiya is quite composed. I thought you had already left Great Yellow Star and had no intention of coming back!"

Chen Lin spoke with a smile.

"I went to take care of some things. You had people looking for me everywhere. Did you find something unusual?"

Adaya landed on a mountaintop.

Chen Lin also landed.

He nodded and said, "There have indeed been some changes."

Then he revealed everything, including the suicide note in the hat and other information he had gathered.

Then I saw Adaya frown.

a long time.

She held out her hand.

"Where's that hat? Let me see it."

Chen Lin took out the hat and handed it to the other person. Just as he was about to ask if he needed help activating it, the patterns on the hat appeared on their own and emitted bursts of fluorescence.

"Dad, this woman is amazing, she's only a tiny bit weaker than me."

Chen Lin's lips twitched.

He said in a deep voice, "Read less mindless fiction in the future."

"I'm telling the truth. Although her energy is strong, it's still a bit weaker than mine. I'm destined to be the protagonist!"

"Okay, okay, you're the best."

Chen Lin silently agreed.

However, he knew that Tie Zhu wasn't necessarily bragging. In terms of energy level, he might indeed be stronger than a primordial spirit, and even if he wasn't stronger, he was definitely not weak.

During their heart-to-heart conversation.

Adya finished reading what was written on the hat.

He tilted his head, seemingly deep in thought, his face clearly showing surprise, uncertainty, and a serious expression.

"Has Miss Daiya discovered something?"

Chen Lin asked a question.

Adaya came to her senses and said in a deep voice, "If the Mordis mentioned in this suicide note is the one I know, then the Thousand-Headed Firefly of Mount Huang is probably not simple at all."

"Who is Miss Daiya referring to?"

"Mosti the Light Chaser, attendant of the Lord of Light, a powerful fourth-tier overlord!"

Chen Lin's eyelids twitched.

Fourth-tier Overlord.

That's an existence that you can't even look up to. In front of it, the Old Fisherman of Tianhu is probably just a slightly larger ant.

The nine ranks of the Sovereign are like insurmountable barriers. It was only after breaking through to the second rank that the Heavenly Lake Fisherman was able to kill the Star Emperor and take control of the Seven Star Realm.

and.

Such a powerful being is actually someone else's servant!
Is the Lord of Light the Creator?

Chen Lin couldn't help but probe and ask.

"No."

Adaya shook her head.

"He was a top-tier powerhouse from ancient times, a ninth-tier ruler, but he went to the Abandoned Land and disappeared for countless years, becoming a legend."

"Abandoned Land?"

Chen Lin heard a new term.

He felt like a frog in a well, completely ignorant of the outside world. "That's a long story."

Adaya gazes towards the direction of Mount Huang.

He took to the air and said, "Let's go, we can talk as we go. The Dark Year in this star field is a bit strange. We have energy that doesn't belong here, so we should be careful and try not to travel through the void."

Chen Lin nodded and followed.

Ignoring the city's protective formation, the two flew directly out of Black Silver Divine City.

They didn't increase their speed, but walked side by side at a steady pace.

Adaya then explained the situation to Chen Lin.

"The Abandoned Land is a mysterious place in the Star Ruins, which can only be entered by a Sovereign. It is said to be the only place that was not covered by the primordial rules after the primordial stone tablets descended."

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

He immediately asked, "Without the original rules, wouldn't all energy be unusable, making it extremely dangerous?"

"do not know."

Adaya shook her head gently again.

"None of the cultivators who went there ever came out; no one knows what it's like inside."

"No one has come out?"

Chen Lin was stunned.

He asked in bewilderment, "Why would anyone go to such a strange place?"

This simply doesn't make sense.

The powerful rulers aren't fools. Even if they want to explore the mysteries of higher levels of cultivation, they need to be confident. How could they risk their lives?

"Because that place holds an irresistible allure for those who dominate."

Adaya's tone was heavy.

He said softly, "For some reason, as long as your cultivation advances to the Sovereign Realm, you will experience a summons from the darkness. This voice is full of attraction, enticing you to go to the Abandoned Land."

"The higher one's cultivation level, the more irresistible it becomes."

"This has been recognized by the cultivation world as a calamity for the ruler."

Chen Lin took a deep breath.

I've never heard of this before.

When I talked to Xiaohua back then, she didn't mention it either. She probably felt that he was still far from becoming a master, so it wouldn't be of any use knowing.

"Why not send low-level cultivators to investigate?"

Chen Lin continued to press for answers.

Adaya sighed.

"Although the Abandoned Land exists, no one knows where it is. Only after advancing to the level of a Sovereign can one find the place by following the guidance of the summons. Those below the Sovereign level cannot enter."

"Is there really no way to counter this?"

Chen Lin couldn't believe that after so many years, with the wisdom of cultivators, they hadn't even figured out a solution.

"There is no absolute way to resist it, but there are some secret techniques or treasures that can weaken the allure of the summon. As it stands, as long as one's cultivation level is below the seventh level of the Overlord, one can withstand it."

"But this is only under normal circumstances."

Adaya's tone was heavy.

"There are all kinds of tribulations in the Sovereign Realm. It is easiest to lose one's mind and be bewitched by the summoning voice when undergoing tribulation. Throughout history, there have been many Sovereign Realm experts who have suddenly disappeared because of this."

Upon hearing this answer, Chen Lin fell into thought.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Could this abandoned land not exist at all, but merely be the inner demon of a powerful ruler?"

"No."

Adaya answered very decisively.

“It is real and has nothing to do with inner demons. I have personally experienced it and even reached the edge of the area, but I escaped, and my cultivation level dropped as a result.”

There was a pause.

She continued, "I suspect that after the soul is released, it might be able to resist the summoning, because the old dean of the Soul Inquiry Academy is known to be able to resist the seventh-tier overlord summoned by the Abandoned Land without relying on the help of the original power."

"Can primordial power resist the summoning?"

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

In that case, the inheritance of the Soul Master becomes even more important, and the conditions for cultivation must be met as soon as possible.

Based on current information, the Primordial Monument and the Abandoned Land seem to be enemies, and it is impossible to judge which is good or bad. Perhaps the Primordial Monument has a conspiracy, while the Abandoned Land is the pure land.

However, he inherited the Primordial Monument, which is equivalent to choosing a side, and there is no longer any chance to change it.

"Ah."

Adaya responded softly.

He explained, "The best way to resist at present is the primordial power."

"Among the seventh-tier and above rulers I know, apart from the old dean of the Soul Inquiry Academy, they all come from the 'Primordial Forces'. In particular, the ninth-tier rulers must rely on the aura of the Primordial Monument to suppress them in order to avoid being summoned away."

"This is also why experts above the seventh rank rarely appear in the world."

Receiving this answer, Chen Lin felt a slight sense of relief.

He has the inheritance of the Soul Master, so he doesn't need to worry about being summoned until at least the seventh-tier Overlord level.

He then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

I'm overthinking it.

In terms of cultivation level alone, his original body is only at the initial stage of the Eternal Realm. He has only acquired the characteristics of a Dominator by chance. He is still a long way from being a true Dominator.

It's uncertain whether I'll be able to achieve it in my lifetime.

No longer paying attention to this matter, Chen Lin changed the subject and began to talk about other information.

soon.

The two then arrived at Mount Huang.

Far away.

Chen Lin then saw tiny points of light in the mountains, which stood out conspicuously in the endless darkness.

There are also quite a few cultivators.

The entire Great Yellow Mountain Range was surrounded by cultivators. Those with lower cultivation levels watched from a distance, while those with higher cultivation levels tentatively approached the edge of the mountain range to hunt down the scattered Thousand-Headed Fireflies.

The two did not rush to hunt.

The Dark Year can last from a few years to more than a decade. Currently, there are very few thousand-headed fireflies, but their numbers will increase over time.

I went around in circles.

The two arrived at the nearby Great Yellow City.

What was originally just a small town has now expanded countless times, and the town is overflowing with people, both inside and outside the city.

To acquire resources, you don't necessarily have to do it yourself; you can also obtain them through trade. Yingfei is a well-known high-dimensional soul treasure, and even a small piece is priceless, attracting countless merchants to gather here.

Inside the city.

Chen Lin and Adaya walked into a shop.

"grown ups!"

The silver rat immediately stepped forward.

He first bowed to Chen Lin, and then greeted Adaya.

But Adaya ignored her. Apart from Chen Lin, she always had an arrogant attitude towards everyone. As a primordial being and a former dominant powerhouse, she had long since separated herself from ordinary cultivators.

"Tell me all the information you've gathered, the more detailed the better."

Chen Lin gave instructions to the silver rat.

He asked the other party to buy a shop here in advance, mainly to gather information, and if possible, to also trade some jadeite.

"Yes!"

The silver rat responded respectfully.

Then he began to tell the story.

As Chen Lin listened, he lost interest.

The other party had gathered quite a bit of information, but it was all minor details. The question he was most concerned about—the origin of the Thousand-Headed Firefly—remained completely unresolved.

However, he didn't have high hopes to begin with.

Silver Rat is exceptionally capable, but its cultivation level is average. It has little chance of contacting high-level cultivators and obtaining secret information.

"correct."

After the narration was completed.

Silver Mouse suddenly remembered something.

He said to Chen Lin, "When darkness fell, a light and shadow appeared above Mount Huang. It flashed by and disappeared in an instant, and no one saw it clearly. However, you suspect that there is a secret realm nearby, so this phenomenon is worth paying attention to."
