I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2151 Confirmed
Upon hearing Adaya's words, Chen Lin's expression turned grim.

There were also some doubts.

He blurted out, "Impossible! If I were also undergoing the invisible tribulation, how could I not feel anything at all? Manager Yue's physical changes are quite obvious."

"Don't you feel anything at all?"

Adaya glanced at Chen Lin.

He said meaningfully, "Perhaps your body is different from ordinary people, or you have some mysterious power protecting you, but the invisible tribulation is a manifestation of advanced rules, which cannot be blocked by ordinary forces. You'd better pay more attention."

Chen Lin nodded.

"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Miss Daiya."

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, the implication was clear: the invisible calamity was targeting his physical body, which was currently sealed in the Treasure Chest of Life, which was why he could not sense the change.

But the invisible calamity is no ordinary one.

This is a calamity of the Eternal level or higher, which even the Sovereign Realm fears. The Treasure Chest of Life may not be able to protect against the attack.

Perhaps the current state of the original body is even worse than that of Yue Yingxian.

"As long as you know."

Adaya nodded slightly.

He then comforted her, saying, "You don't need to worry too much. Even the same tribulation can have varying degrees of power. You are a cultivator from a lower dimension, so the intensity of your first tribulation won't be too high."

"The most important thing right now is to find the root cause of the disaster."

"Once the root cause is found, the invisible calamity is not so terrible, and it can be dealt with normally."

Done.

Adaya removed a green gem from the bracelet on her wrist.

He handed it to Chen Lin.

"This gem is for you. It has the effect of tracing danger. Once you sense the erosion, use your soul to activate it and you will receive some clues."

"Thank you, Miss Daiya."

Chen Lin accepted the gift without hesitation and thanked him.

Adaya shook her head.

He said softly, "Don't place all your hopes on this. The invisible tribulations are varied and strange. This thing isn't very effective. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself."

There was a pause.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Since Manager Yue has decided that you are the one destined for her tribulation, she must have received guidance from a master. You need to have more contact with her; avoiding her is not the solution."

Hear this.

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

He immediately asked, "Miss Daiya, have you ever heard of the name Zhenyangzi?"

Adaya paused, taken aback.

Then he suddenly realized, "So it's Daoist Zhenyangzi. Then there's no mistake. I think I know the background of this Manager Yue. She must be from the Yue family of Shixing Village. No wonder she has the variegated crystal."

"Is this Masami Shinyoko very famous?"

Chen Lin immediately pressed for more information.

"He's alright. He's a representative figure from the Taoist sect, skilled in divination, but his whereabouts are unpredictable. You need some luck to meet him; you won't find him if you actively seek him out."

"What is this person's cultivation level?"

"I don't know."

Adaya shook her head again.

"People from the Taoist sect are very mysterious. Their cultivation is a system of its own. I have never dealt with them and do not know the specifics. I only know that these Taoists are good at divination and they should be cultivating the way of destiny."

After a moment's thought.

She deduced, "However, since the other party can move freely in the Star Ruins and frequently enters and exits various realms, their strength must not be weak; at least they must be at the Dominator level."

"besides."

“As the number one rule, destiny is extremely difficult to cultivate. Since the other party can reach the Dominator level, I suspect that the Daoist sect has a primordial inheritance related to destiny.”

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

If I have the opportunity in the future, I should try to learn about the original inheritance related to destiny.

But then I thought about it.

He then abandoned the idea.

It's still uncertain whether the Primordial Monument is good or bad. Having one Soul Master inheritance is enough; it's not advisable to be greedy for more.

Moreover, Shinyoko's lingering spirit followed him everywhere, which made him feel resistant and unwilling to have anything to do with her.

Speaking of Mayoko.

Chen Lin then thought of Nian Kong.

Since you've asked, you might as well get to the bottom of it.

He then asked directly, "Does Miss Daiya know of a Buddhist monk named Niankong?"

"Buddhism?"

Adaya glanced at Chen Lin.

"Have you ever been in contact with Buddhism? There are very few practitioners of this cultivation system. I haven't encountered any in Star Ruins, I've only seen them in ancient texts."

Chen Lin was taken aback.

He asked in confusion, "Are there no Buddhist forces in the Star Ruins?"

"It's not that I don't exist, it's just that I haven't encountered them yet. The Star Ruins are vast and boundless, and the places I've been to are just a drop in the ocean, which doesn't represent anything."

Adaya explained.

Then he added, "We can talk about these issues later. Let's go and see Huangshan Mountain."

“The Thousand-Headed Firefly is a high-level creature. Without the corresponding means, it is impossible to kill it. If we want to obtain enough Firefly Jade, we will have to take action ourselves.”

"besides."

She said with deep eyes, "The contents of that suicide note in the hat are probably real. If so, we need to find that book so that we can have a continuous supply of Firefly Jade."

“Miss Daiya really has a… good idea.”

Chen Lin was at a loss for words.

The thought process of a strong person is different. When he learned of this news, he was worried that the mysterious book was too powerful and there would be an insurmountable danger.

Another issue is the doubt about the authenticity of the Thousand-Headed Firefly.

However, the other party intends to keep the books and continue producing fluorite.

This is the difference in confidence stemming from strength.

However, Chen Lin still raised concerns.

"Miss Daiya, do you think the characters in the book can turn into real thousand-headed fireflies? Could there be a conspiracy involved?"

He doesn't have the power to dominate, so he can't just recklessly follow the other side.

"What are you afraid of?"

Adaya remained calm.

Wu Suo said, "There is definitely a conspiracy, but whether it will work depends on the strength of the planner. A conspiracy without strength is just a joke."

"As for whether the characters can be transformed into a thousand-headed firefly."

It depends on how you say it.

She explained slowly.

"Perhaps the characters on that book were originally forged from a thousand fireflies, or the book itself was made of firefly jade, or it may even contain primordial power that can create life."

"But we don't need to worry about that. Once we get the books, everything will be clear."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin stopped worrying about it.

Nodding, he said, "Since Miss Daiya is confident, I can't hold her back. Let's go over there now."

Reach an agreement.

The two set off immediately and reached the edge of Mount Huang in just a few breaths.

Chen Lin sensed something was wrong as soon as he arrived nearby.

All the cultivators stood outside; not a single one went in to hunt the Thousand-Headed Firefly.

And this moment.

There were many more points of light in the valley than before, some even dancing at the edge, as if taunting the cultivators who were watching.

Chen Lin did not act rashly.

This also prevented Adaya from going in.

Looking around, he saw Feng Qi's figure and immediately flew over.

"Lord Lin has arrived as well." Upon seeing Chen Lin, Feng Qi cupped his hands in greeting.

Then he said, "If you want to hunt the Thousand-Headed Firefly, you must be careful. In less than half a day, dozens of cultivators have died inside. The Thousand-Headed Firefly that appeared this time seems to be much more powerful than those recorded in the classics."

"Where are Yi Qiuyuan and Manager Yue?"

Chen Lin didn't see the two people, so he immediately asked.

If Yue Yingxian and he are truly destined to face each other's tribulations, he cannot be allowed to die here. After all, what the tribulation is is still unknown. If it requires the two of them to complete it, he will be doomed if the other dies.

"They went to the other side to check the situation."

Before Lin Qi could finish speaking, Chen Lin's divine sense had already detected Yue Yingxian's location, and he immediately sent a telepathic message asking her to return.

between breaths.

Then Yue Yingxian appeared.

Looking at Chen Lin with surprise, she gave a slight bow and asked, "Brother Lin, what brings you to my humble abode?"

Chen Lin said calmly, "I'm just reminding you not to act rashly. Something's not right here. Don't die in there."

Yue Yingxian was taken aback.

Some were skeptical of Chen Lin's concern.

But she was, after all, a cultivation genius, with a quick mind that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and she immediately thought of a reason.

His eyes flickered a few times.

He switched to telepathic communication and asked, "Brother Lin, are you certain that you are the one destined to be my sister's tribulation?"

Chen Lin's face was gloomy.

He also transmitted his voice, saying, "It's not confirmed yet, but we can't rule out the possibility. I ask you, why do you think my calamity is related to yours? It can't be just based on Zhenyangzi's deduction, can it?"

Yue Yingxian remained silent for a moment.

Then he nodded slightly and said, "To be honest, Brother Lin, I have a treasure that can sense some information about the invisible calamity. When I first met Brother Lin, this item showed a slight reaction."

"Just because of this, and only one reaction?"

Chen Lin frowned.

Using a faint scent from a treasure as evidence is rather far-fetched.

"More than once."

Yue Yingxian also relaxed her mindset.

He replied truthfully, "Before I went to see Brother Lin last time, I sensed something unusual."

"Although both sensations were extremely weak, combined with Master Zhenyangzi's divination, I think it is highly likely that it was Brother Lin."

Speaking of it.

She looked into Chen Lin's eyes and tentatively asked, "Brother Lin, don't you feel anything at all?"

This has always puzzled her.

According to the information she had gathered, under the rules of the Invisible Calamity, all beings caught in the same calamity suffer the same erosion. She herself had already suffered severe damage, which she could not even conceal, but the other party seemed to have no abnormalities.

Chen Lin did not answer.

But a helpless sigh escaped his lips.

According to the other party's explanation, he must be the one destined for this calamity.

The reason why the other party contacted him was because he had just returned from the Life Ferry gathering. The fact that the other party's treasure reacted was probably due to the aura of his true form dissipating when he boarded the ship using the Life Treasure Chest.

I've given up on illusions.

Chen Lin pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you figured out what form your tribulation will take? Is it a killing tribulation, a love tribulation, an elemental tribulation, or a tribulation of inner demons?"

Calamities come in many forms.

The higher the level of the cultivator, the more varied the tribulations they will encounter. Sometimes Chen Lin even has a feeling that someone is manipulating this world.

Because some of the disasters were truly outrageous.

For example, when he was on the island of strange people, he heard a strange person say that the other person had heard an example of an invisible calamity.

The disaster was actually caused by a theatrical performance!
To become famous throughout the entire industry as an actor, one must be known by everyone, and one must not use any means outside of opera.

This person's successful tribulation was entirely due to chance.

While traveling and seeking opportunities, this person encountered a theatrical troupe. The troupe leader said that he felt the charm of a master of opera from this person. However, this person had never been involved in opera before, so he was skeptical and decided to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, they actually survived the ordeal.

And thus he acquired great supernatural powers related to opera.

It is precisely for this reason that Chen Lin suspects that the world is manipulated by humans, and now this idea is even stronger.

"I haven't figured out the specifics either."

Yue Yingxian's telepathic message pulled Chen Lin back to reality.

She continued, "But it's definitely not a killing calamity, nor is it an elemental attack, because the erosion of the calamity is very strange; it's not the kind of fierce and domineering state that comes with killing."

Chen Lin nodded slightly.

Adaya had also explained to him that although the invisible calamity was invisible, it was not truly without trace. One could sense some clues through the invisible damage one suffered.

but.

He couldn't trust the other person.

Once the calamity is a confrontational one, the other party is unlikely to tell the truth. Not only can you not believe them, but you also have to guard against a sneak attack before you figure out what the calamity is.

What a trap!
Chen Lin sighed in silence.

Fortunately, the chances of an invisible calamity appearing are not high. Once one is overcome, one can live peacefully for tens of thousands of years. Otherwise, there would probably be very few high-level experts in the cultivation world who could survive.

Think of this.

Chen Lin suddenly had a thought.

He recalled Adaya's earlier speculation.

The other party said that the invisible calamity might be the original rules of this world, used to counter the external rules of the Primordial Monument.

Now that I think about it, it's quite possible.

First of all.

The Invisible Calamity only occurs after reaching the Eternal Realm, which aligns with the local rules and weakens high-level powerhouses.

Because any ascension to eternity requires the convergence of internal and external forces, and the current rules of heaven and earth all originate from the Primordial Monument. The native rules have long been covered up, leaving only the Abandoned Lands to eke out a living.

Think about it this way.

Chen Lin also understood why he had attracted an invisible calamity as soon as he advanced to the Eternal Realm.

It's probably because of the inheritance from the Soul Master.

As the 'lucky ones' who received the inheritance directly from the Primordial Monument, they will inevitably receive special attention from the local rules.

The more I think about it, the more headache I get.

Chen Lin couldn't help but rub his temples.

If he guesses correctly, this calamity will likely be far more severe than we can imagine.

But he was also puzzled.

If the local rules are really the focus, why would the calamity befall a stranger? What is so special about this Yue Yingxian? Could it be that she also possesses an original inheritance?

Thoughts only last for a moment.

Chen Lin immediately suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Seeing Yue Yingxian continue to transmit her voice, she asked, "Manager Yue, what calamity do you think is most likely?"

"Ugh!"

Yue Yingxian sighed.

He said, quite frustrated, "I don't know why, but my methods are extremely ineffective. I can't even determine who is destined for the calamity, let alone investigate further."

"We can only take one step at a time."

Chen Lin's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems I need to switch back to the main game to learn more.

But let's not rush it.

Since my main body's combat strength is not as good as this identity, I should collect enough Firefly Jade and Black Gold Dew first, and then switch identities later.

Make a decision.

Chen Lin's gaze fell on Yue Yingxian's face.

He said seriously, "The situation here has changed, so you should stop collecting Yingfei. I can agree to your previous conditions: ten pieces of variegated crystal. Regardless of whether I am the one destined to face this tribulation, I will fully cooperate with you in your tribulation!"

The voice just fell.

Then a panicked voice rang out.

"Oh no! The Thousand-Headed Firefly has broken through the boundary and escaped!"
