I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

The news of the arrival of people from the Heavenly God Palace was provided by Yue Yingxian.

Not just the Heavenly Palace.

Yue Yingxian's second brother, as well as several major forces in Xingxu, all sent people over.

The goal, of course, is to obtain the fluorite.

This also made Chen Lin realize that what Adaya said was true.

The value of the Firefly Jade is indeed very high. All forces with the Soul-Unlocking Inheritance have a need for this item, and it is extremely rare, even in the Star Ruins.

"You're Lin Yue?"

On this day, Chen Lin was exploring at the edge of the valley when a group of four appeared. One of them, a handsome man in flowing white robes, flew up to his side and looked down at him, speaking to him.

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

He cupped his hands slightly and said, "It is indeed I."

The other party was dressed in white with gold patterns, which meant he was just a Yellow-level disciple of the Heavenly God Palace and did not pose much of a threat to him, so he did not pay much attention to him.

The handsome man narrowed his eyes.

He landed on the ground and continued to scrutinize Chen Lin.

Then nodded.

"You do indeed possess the divine aura of my Heavenly God Palace, but you are not wearing the robes of a Heavenly God, which means you are not a disciple of this palace. So you must be a divine messenger. Which Heavenly God is your master?"

"do not know."

Chen Lin responded expressionlessly.

The handsome man suddenly exuded a dangerous aura, and his gaze toward Chen Lin turned cold.

He said coldly, "My Heavenly God Palace has strict rules. No matter whose divine messenger you are, you cannot be disrespectful to me, your formal disciple. I will give you one more chance. Tell me your master's name, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Chen Lin glanced behind the other person and refrained from turning hostile.

Although only one person from the Heavenly God Palace came, there were still three Star Ruins experts. It was clear that the other party was the leader. It was unclear what methods these people possessed, and it would not be wise to take action rashly.

But the divine radiance cannot be faked; even if he wanted to deny it, he couldn't.

Chen Lin's mind raced.

The goddess who gave him the Flower of Divinity only had black markings back then. Even if she were alive and advanced now, she would at most have red markings. It would probably be useless to say it out loud.

It might even expose his killing of the Heavenly God Palace disciples.

I thought about it.

Something moved in his heart.

He then transmitted his voice, saying, "The one who bestowed divinity upon me calls herself Chunjiu, but she instructed me not to divulge this matter, so please keep it a secret, sir."

The handsome young man's expression changed slightly.

He stared at Chen Lin with an incredulous look for a while.

He also transmitted his voice, "Are you Elder Chunjiu's divine messenger?"

"Exactly!"

Chen Lin nodded.

The handsome young man still looked doubtful.

He said in a deep voice, "Uncle Chunjiu almost never accepts divine messengers, let alone a man. I have serious doubts about what you're saying unless you can prove it."

"no problem."

Chen Lin readily agreed.

He then added, "However, I've left the proof in the shop; I'll need to go get it."

"I'll go with you."

A mocking smile curled at the corner of the handsome young man's lips.

He was pretty sure Chen Lin was lying, but in order not to be wrong, he decided to keep watching to see what tricks he could come up with.

Chen Lin nodded again.

They took off and flew towards the Great Yellow City. After entering the shop, they headed straight for the quiet room at the back.

Let Tie Zhu enter the treasure chest of life, and take out the bottle containing the divine liquid that Chunjiu gave him from his storage ring.

The bottle had a special pattern on it; even if it wasn't unique to the Spring Wine, it must have been an exclusive mark of the Heavenly Palace.

The handsome young man stood leisurely in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking around at the items on the shelves.

"Fellow Daoist Qu, what if he ran away from behind? Aren't you going in to keep an eye on him?"

The foreign man standing nearby laughed and teased.

"That's no need for Fellow Daoist Mocha to worry about. Since he is a divine messenger of my Heavenly God Palace, I can find him no matter where he goes."

The handsome young man glanced at him sideways and said.

"Too."

The foreign man shrugged.

"The Heavenly God Palace's tracking skills are indeed unique."

He then touched his chin.

He then said with a half-smile, "However, I heard that your Elder Han's grandson, Han Wangxian, has been missing for many years, and his life light has been completely extinguished, but the murderer has not been found. This is not like the style of the Heavenly God Palace."

"Fellow Daoist Mocha, do you know quite a lot? Could it be that your Five Elders City has planted spies in my Heavenly God Palace?"

The handsome young man said calmly.

The foreign man's expression froze for a moment.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Such a joke is not to be taken lightly. Fellow Daoist Qu, just pretend I didn't ask."

The voice just fell.

Chen Lin then walked out of the room.

A sense of unease settled in my heart.

Han Wangxian was the senior disciple of the Heavenly God Palace whom he killed. Unexpectedly, he was the grandson of an elder. To become an elder, one must be at least at the Xuan level, or even the Di level, in the Heavenly God Palace.

With such a powerful being eyeing him, his situation is likely to become difficult.

However, judging from their conversation, the Heavenly God Palace has not yet confirmed his whereabouts. This means that Hu Sanniang and the others did not leave the Ancient Witch Realm, or they did leave but their destination was not in the Heavenly God Palace.

and also.

Han Wangxian and the others went to the Ancient Witch Realm to search for the Primordial Stele, but they probably didn't tell the Heavenly God Palace, so the Heavenly God Palace didn't know their whereabouts.

Otherwise, with the methods of the Heavenly God Palace, knowing the location of the interface, they would have already figured out the cause and effect.

If so.

He still has some room for maneuver.

Even so.

Chen Lin also decided to change his plan and no longer use his second identity to enter the Star Ruins, but instead use his original identity.

Compared to the Fisherman of Tianhu, the Heavenly God Palace poses a greater threat.

Furthermore, Adaya stated that the Fisherman of the Heavenly Lake has been lured away and will not return for a thousand years, during which time the main body's actions will be safer.

When the old fisherman of Tianhu returned, he had already finished his business and could simply find a place to live in seclusion.

The Star Ruins are vast and boundless, and the area that the Overlord can control is also limited.

While thinking about it.

Chen Lin handed the small white bottle to the handsome man.

He transmitted his voice, saying, "This is the item Elder Chunjiu gave me. I wonder if it can serve as proof?"

Taking out this item actually carries a certain risk.

If Chunjiu finds out, she might see through the relationship between his original body and this second identity. The effect of the Life Treasure Chest is not absolute. Tiezhu can break the rules, and so can Yue Yingxian's natal gem. Others may not be unable to do it.

But resolving the immediate crisis is more important.

First, keep the other side calm, then slowly find an opportunity to deal with all these visitors from the Star Ruins, and his information will not be leaked.

The handsome man took the bottle.

He looked surprised after just one glance.

He frowned.

He glanced at Chen Lin, then at the bottle.

He nodded after a long pause.

He handed the bottle back to Chen Lin and said, "I'll believe you for now, but since you're a divine messenger of the Heavenly God Palace, you should work for the Heavenly God Palace. I heard you killed quite a few Thousand-Headed Fireflies and obtained a lot of Firefly Jade, right? Keep it here for safekeeping to prevent others from taking advantage of your misfortune."

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

He immediately transmitted his voice, saying, "Collecting the Firefly Jade is a task given to me by Elder Chunjiu. I'm sorry I can't give it to you. If you need it, sir, you can ask Elder Chunjiu for it after I hand it over to him."

The handsome young man's gaze turned cold.

A faint glow emanated from his palm, instantly creating an oppressive atmosphere throughout the hall, distorting the very space around him.

Chen Lin remained calm.

They seemed completely unaffected.

The alien named Mocha's eyes flashed with surprise, and the two cultivators who had come with him also looked at Chen Lin with astonishment. The handsome young man narrowed his eyes.

Then a slight smile appeared on his face.

The oppressive feeling dissipated like melting snow, and the atmosphere eased.

"In that case, you can keep it. I was just worried you might lose it; I didn't mean to take it."

Done.

He glanced at Mocha beside him.

"I've heard that this year of darkness is different from the past. The thousand fireflies in the valley were able to break through the valley barrier. Something must have changed inside. Why don't we go in and investigate?"

"Right on my mind."

Mocha responded with a smile.

Then he looked at Chen Lin.

"This divine messenger has hunted so many thousand fireflies, he must have a wealth of experience. Why don't we take him in with us?"

"Alright."

Before Chen Lin could answer, the handsome young man made the decision directly.

Chen Lin did not refute it.

The other party's request suited him perfectly; if they wanted to kill him to silence him, it would be better to act deep in the valley.

However, he felt somewhat uncertain about being alone.

These people are all disciples of powerful forces in the Star Ruins, so they cannot be judged by ordinary standards. Who knows if they possess any powerful treasures?

It would be best to bring Adaya along as well.

Yue Yingxian is not suitable.

The other party also comes from the Star Ruins forces, so they may not dare to attack the people of the Heavenly God Palace. Moreover, it would be difficult for them to keep the secret. The other party is also the one destined for his tribulation, so he cannot kill the other party to silence them.

So the only option is to contact Adya.

While thinking.

The handsome young man and his companions had already left the room.

Chen Lin immediately followed.

He respectfully said, "May I ask how you gentlemen are addressed? May we exchange some information? There is energy suppression in the valley. Confirming the methods will allow us to cooperate better."

"My name is Qu Zixian."

The handsome young man gave an answer.

He then pointed to Mocha and said, "This is Young Master Mocha of the Five Elders City. He has a special bloodline and is skilled in illusion magic. He can dispel the illusion of the Thousand-Headed Firefly."

Done.

He looked at the other two.

Pointing to the man with ears as big as palm fans, he said, "This is Fellow Daoist Bagu from Starlight Cave. He is skilled in vocal magic and has a unique attack power against Firefly Jade."

"And this one."

Qu Zixian then pointed to the last one.

"This is Zhou Anshi, a rogue cultivator from Datian Lake. He is skilled in spatial abilities. I've heard that the thousand fireflies here come from a peculiar secret realm. With him here, perhaps we can find some clues."

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

Their gaze fell on Zhou Anshi.

Judging from appearance alone, the other party should be a normal human, with an ordinary appearance and no strong energy fluctuations, giving the impression of an ordinary low-level cultivator.

But he knows.

To be chosen by Qu Zixian, a disciple of the Heavenly God Palace, and brought along to the Seven Star Realm, one must be no ordinary person.

He hesitated.

Chen Lin tentatively spoke up.

He cupped his hands to Zhou Anshi and said, "This sir comes from Great Heavenly Lake, and must have some connection with the old fisherman of Heavenly Lake. I am from the Seven Star Realm, and I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."

Zhou Anshi smiled slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Lin thinks too highly of me. I am just a minor True Realm cultivator. How could I possibly have any connection with Senior Tianhu Fisherman? I can't possibly help you with your request."

There was a pause.

He added, "Since Fellow Daoist Lin is a divine envoy of the Heavenly God Palace, he cannot stay in the Seven Star Realm forever. When you want to leave, have your master obtain a Heavenly God Token. I'm sure Senior Fisherman of Heavenly Lake will allow you to leave."

Chen Lin was taken aback upon hearing this.

According to the other party, permission from the Heavenly Lake Fisherman is required to enter and exit the Seven Star Realm.

Adaya did not mention this.

It's unclear whether the other party overlooked it, or whether entering and exiting through the river of rules wouldn't attract the attention of the old fisherman of Tianhu.

Chen Lin remained silent.

You can ask Adaya for this information, and Yue Yingxian will know it too; there's no need to ask here.

The group returned to the entrance of the valley.

At this moment, a few more thousand fireflies flew out. Yue Yingxian, her second brother, and some local cultivators who possessed high-dimensional abilities were hunting them down with great effort.

"Haha, I'll give it a try too!"

With its ears as big as palm fans, Bagu laughed loudly, leaped into the valley, and then opened its mouth to let out a series of strange howls.

Chen Lin didn't feel anything.

But to his astonishment, all the thousand-headed fireflies within ten feet of the other party became unsteady, as if they were drunk.

"what?"

Faced with such a sight, Bagu was not happy at all, but instead exclaimed in surprise and doubt.

His eyes then became glazed over, his ears flapped incessantly, and he started dancing on the spot, drooling and groping around with his hands, as if he was thinking about something.

Qu Zi frowned first.

He said to Mocha, "It seems our information was accurate. These thousand-headed fireflies are not normal; they are more troublesome than ordinary thousand-headed fireflies. You should help them out."

"hehe."

Mocha chuckled.

He clicked his tongue and said, "Fellow Daoist Bagu is putting on a show of playing with dragons and phoenixes in an illusion. This is the Dragon Wandering Starfield, which is quite fitting. Let him have some more fun."

"Don't waste time, our main task is to explore the secret realm."

The song begins in a deep, resonant voice.

Mocha stopped laughing, and a white light emanated from between his brows, enveloping the drum.

Ba Gu paused.

His eyes instantly regained their clarity.

Enraged, it bulged outwards with its mouth, emitting an even sharper sound, causing the thousand-headed fireflies that had just returned to normal to shake again.

This time, they were unable to mount a counterattack and were gradually disintegrated under the sonic attack, leaving only tiny specks of luminous jade.

Chen Lin stood behind the crowd.

She quietly cast a spell of tranquility on herself.

Then, to my surprise, I discovered that the Tranquility Technique was actually effective, and it could even suppress the opponent's sound waves, making it impossible to hear anything.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It seems he underestimated his secret technique. He thought it was a technique within the Boundary River and wouldn't have any effect in outer space, so he never tested it.

Surprisingly, it is effective even for higher-dimensional energy.

While thinking.

With Mocha's help, Bagu killed all the thousand fireflies that flew out, while the scattered firefly jade was collected by Quzi first.

"Let's go and see what's going on in this valley."

Qu Zi gave a greeting first and stepped inside.

Chen Lin put aside his distracting thoughts and followed.

Yue Yingxian and her second brother exchanged a glance and followed behind.

He then transmitted his voice to Chen Lin, saying, "Brother Lin, you are a divine messenger. As far as I know, the divine messengers of the Heavenly God Palace do not have high status, and they will be marked with a divine imprint that they can never get rid of for the rest of their lives. With your abilities, why did you choose this path?"

"I can't help myself."

Chen Lin answered telepathically.

Then he asked, "Did your second brother bring any variegated crystals?"

Yue Yingxian remained silent.

She untied an embroidered pouch from her waist and handed it to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin was immediately overjoyed.

Inside his pocket was a variegated crystal, which gave him even more options.

So he transmitted his voice, saying, "You and your second brother shouldn't follow. These people are searching for that hidden realm of light and shadow; who knows what might happen? It's safer to stay outside." (End of Chapter)
