I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2162 Innocent Heart
Yue Yingxian's answer made Chen Lin frown.

He also knew that one's strength would change to some extent after passing through the invisible tribulation, but he had not passed through such a tribulation, nor had anyone around him, so his knowledge was limited.

"You mean, the invisible calamity still exists?"

Yue Yingxian remained silent for a moment.

He hesitated and said, "I'm not quite sure either. This situation is very strange. Logically speaking, a tribulation is something that either passes or doesn't pass. I've never encountered anything like this before. It seems like we've passed, but it also seems like we haven't."

"Brother Chen, have you obtained the wordless heavenly book?"

Zhou Anshi, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at the other party and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Zhou mean that my invisible tribulation was suppressed by the wordless heavenly book?"

"possible."

Zhou Anshi nodded.

Then he explained, "After I accepted Qu Zixian's employment, I specifically learned about the legend of the Wordless Heavenly Book. It is said that this book can not only obtain the supreme inheritance, but also form its own world, and may be able to suppress the rules of the invisible calamity."

After speaking, she looked at Chen Lin with envious eyes.

He continued, "The ghost face that appeared out of nowhere earlier, after gaining the approval of the wordless book in the cave, was able to hide in it and use all sorts of different methods. This must be the effect of the rules."

Chen Lin touched his chin.

What the other party said is possible.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Shadow Scholar used his name and methods to suppress the invisible tribulation of the Eternal Cultivator.

But in that case, is the calamity truly over, or does it still exist?

Will it carry over to the next time?
"What does Fellow Daoist Yue think?"

Chen Lin asked Yue Yingxian.

The other party is a scion of a powerful family and knows more information.

Yue Yingxian shook her head.

"I'm not quite sure either. I'll have to wait until I get back to my family and ask the elders. I'll let Brother Chen know then."

"Then we'll have to leave it at that for now."

Chen Lin ended the conversation.

Looking around, he said, "It seems that the Dark Year was caused by that secret realm. Now that the books in the Great Yellow Mountain have been taken away, I'm afraid this phenomenon will not happen again."

Mention this.

Yue Yingxian frowned involuntarily.

With a puzzled look on his face, he said, "I feel like I've forgotten something, something that seems to be related to that ghost face, but I can't remember it. I don't know if that ghost face is still there, or if it will come after us."

"me too."

Zhou Anshi immediately took over the conversation.

He said in a deep voice, "Could it be that our memories have been altered due to our experiences in the secret realm?"

Chen Lin's lips twitched slightly.

But he didn't explain.

He changed the subject again, saying, "Since you two are from the Star Ruins, do you have any treasures that can resist the erosion of the River of Rules? If so, I will pay for them."

They both shook their heads at the same time.

Zhou Anshi said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Chen saved my life, and if I had, I would certainly have given it to you with both hands. However, such a treasure is extremely precious even in the Star Ruins. I was able to resist the erosion of the River of Rules because of my innate ability."

There was a pause.

He added, "If Brother Chen isn't in a hurry, I can collect some for you when I return to Xingxu and then send them to you, but I can't say for sure when I'll be able to collect them."

Chen Lin's eyes lit up.

That's a good idea. Collecting such items in the Star Ruins is definitely easier than in the Seven Star Realm.

He then looked at Yue Yingxian.

Zhou Anshi was a rogue cultivator, but the other party was a core figure of a major power, who even possessed the Variegated Crystal. Such treasures were probably not difficult to obtain.

Yue Yingxian did not refuse.

He immediately agreed, saying, "Brother Chen, rest assured, leave this matter to me. However, to utilize the River of Rules, external objects alone are not enough. First, we must master the matching rule power. In this Seven Star Realm, only the seven laws corresponding to the seven stars can connect to the Star Ruins. Which one does Brother Chen wish to use?"

"destiny."

Chen Lin answered truthfully.

Although he has mastered all seven laws, he can only enter the River of Destiny at present; he can't use the others.

Yue Yingxian's expression froze.

He looked somewhat troubled and said, "Destiny-type treasures are extremely rare and probably not easy to find. We can only try to find general-purpose treasures, but that will likely require some time and luck. Brother Chen, please don't be in a hurry."

"in addition."

Yue Yingxian continued speaking.

"Brother Chen, if you are a native cultivator and want to leave the Seven Star Realm, you will need the consent of that Old Fisherman of Heavenly Lake, because he has sealed off this realm. Native cultivators are integrated with the Heavenly Dao of this place, so there is basically no possibility of forcibly breaking through."

"We can move freely not only because we are unrelated to this world, but also because we come from a powerful force, and the other side dares not attack us."

"Fellow Daoist Yue is right."

Zhou Anshi immediately agreed.

He said, "I was able to come in because Qu Zi first explained the situation to the old fisherman of Tianhu. However, the old fisherman of Tianhu left Da Tianhu before we set off, and we don't know when he will be back."

"I see."

Chen Lin responded with a single sentence.

The hope that had just risen was dashed again.

How could he not be anxious?

Both Nana's thousand-year promise and the trip to the Wizard Council are urgent matters. Moreover, Adaya said that she could only lure away the Fisherman of the Heavenly Lake for about a thousand years. Once he returned, he would not be able to leave in his true form.

Using a second identity raises concerns about potential problems with the Heavenly Palace and other related matters, and the current state of that second identity is still uncertain.

But it can't be forced.

But he certainly couldn't ask Tianhu Fisherman for permission; that would be tantamount to walking into a trap.

However, his path to advancement is rather unique, as he has never intersected with this world, so he may not necessarily be restricted. Furthermore, Tianhu Fisherman has been transferred away by Adaya, so even if he discovers that a local cultivator has forcibly entered, he cannot return immediately.

There is still a glimmer of hope.

Chen Lin stopped dwelling on the matter.

He then asked, "Do either of you have any variegated crystals?"

Yue Yingxian's eyes flickered.

A sense of doubt resurfaced in her mind. This question felt familiar, as if someone had been asking her for this item.

But I just can't remember.

Zhou Anshi answered readily.

"Brother Chen thinks too highly of me. The kind of thing called variegated crystal is the exclusive property of the top powers. We rogue cultivators can't even see it. Let alone us, even ordinary powers don't have the qualifications."

Chen Lin sighed inwardly upon hearing this.

It seems that variegated crystals are really rare; no wonder even Adaya doesn't have them.

However, the more precious this item is, the more disadvantageous it is for him.

Then he looked at Yue Yingxian.

From now on, the task of obtaining the variegated crystals will fall to the other party.

Yue Yingxian immediately said, "I can help Brother Chen obtain the variegated crystal. Although I don't have it on hand right now, I can send you a piece within three years at most. You can go to the Tiandu Gem House in Black Silver City to get it."

"Thank you."

Chen Lin smiled slightly.

Since entering the valley, we've finally heard some good news.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, but he could wait. Besides, he also needed to go back to Black Silver City to retrieve the Black Gold Dew.

They chatted for a while longer.

Zhou Anshi said solemnly, "We killed Qu Zixian, and Mocha and Bagu also died because of us. Although no one knows, the forces behind them may trace it back to us. It would be better to hide for a while."

"We also need to be wary of that ghost that stole the wordless book."

Yue Yingxian nodded slightly.

He said in a deep voice, "The matter of Qu Zixian and the others is nothing. A sovereign powerhouse wouldn't take action against them personally, especially since they attacked first. We are in the right, and our Ten Clans Village is not a force to be trifled with." "But we must be wary of that ghost."

"A guy who has been dormant for over 100,000 years must have an extremely twisted mind and be capable of anything."

"but."

Yue Yingxian looked thoughtful.

He analyzed, "Given the strength they've shown, if they wanted to hunt us down, they would have come looking for us already. We can't even leave Dahuang Mountain, so they probably have some kind of restriction on us. There's no need to worry too much."

The other person's words reminded Chen Lin of the green arrow.

It was very likely Adaya who did it.

Without further hesitation, the three of them explained a few things to each other and then went their separate ways.

Chen Lin returned to Dahuangxing.

They first went to Mount Huang, but didn't find any useful information or find Adaya, so they changed their plans and headed straight for Black Silver City.

But he did not return to the shop.

He is currently in his original form, and neither Elder Qin nor the Silver Rat recognize him. Even if they went, they wouldn't be able to get the Black Gold Dew. He also doesn't want to forcibly take it, lest the commotion be too great and cause unnecessary trouble.

First, we went to check out the place where the divine stone was located.

After finding nothing unusual, they found a place to stay and began to examine their gains from the trip.

First and foremost is the wordless book.

inside the room.

Chen Lin stretched out his palm, and the books he had taken from the bookshelf appeared out of thin air.

The cover is gray, and the paper inside is white. Less than an inch long, it looks quite ordinary.

I did a general check first.

Then gently turn it open.

"what?"

To Chen Lin's surprise, the pages were not blank, but covered with tiny, delicate characters.

Could this be a wordless book from heaven?

This scene aroused his suspicion.

Before he could think any further, the characters on it flew up one by one and swarmed into his forehead, and he couldn't move at all, he could only passively accept it.

One page of characters has been used up.

The book page automatically turns to the next page, repeating the previous process.

After all the characters had entered his forehead, the book itself transformed into light and entered his body.

Suddenly.

Chen Lin had some additional information in his mind.

He took a moment to process it and then fell into deep thought.

This is indeed a wordless book.

But it wasn't as invincible as one might imagine; it was merely a way for the Shadow Scholar to pass on his legacy. The reason that ghost face was so powerful was because it had once been a ruler.

of course.

This book is still quite mysterious.

According to the information, 'spiritual runes' can be drawn on a book in a special way. After being nourished by the book, the spiritual runes can form any object, or even a living being, for the owner to control.

It's a real-life version of "There are beauties like jade in books, and houses of gold in books."

However, it is not easy to do this.

The method of writing spiritual script is extremely profound. Even with direct initiation, it takes a long time to comprehend and master it.

Furthermore.

Writing spiritual texts requires extremely high levels of energy and consumes a great deal of it.

Moreover, the higher the requirements, the more demanding the energy requirements become. This explains why the book about Mount Huangshan described something like a thousand-headed firefly.

It is estimated that the owner's own abilities were insufficient, and he had to borrow the energy of the luminous jade.

As for who owns it.

Speculation is pointless now; it ultimately benefited the ghost face.

"A ruler-level expert..."

Chen Lin murmured aloud.

He strongly suspected that his arrival at this place was the work of that ghost face, that the other party had interfered with his spatial positioning when he left the boundary river, causing him to land on the Great Yellow Star.

This is not a baseless assumption.

The fact that the Ghost King Blade came from the Heavenly God Palace, and that Qu Zixian also came from the Heavenly God Palace, indicates that the existence of the Thousand-Headed Firefly and the Wordless Heavenly Book in Mount Huang was not a secret within the Heavenly God Palace.

The other party must know that too.

This guess weighed heavily on Chen Lin's mind.

The dominant beings are all ancient monsters who have lived for countless years. Even a wisp of their remnant soul has a mind as deep as the ocean. The schemes of the Old Fisherman of Heavenly Lake will not be so easy to get rid of.

He can't afford to be careless at all if he wants to get this fish off the hook.

Having gathered all the information, Chen Lin tapped the table as he continued to ponder.

The transmission of this book is quite interesting.

It is a secret technique.

And it's actually about the realm of spirit empowerment!

Whether it was his good luck that he happened to draw this book, or whether the inheritance was determined based on the recipient's circumstances, he used the Spirit Empowerment Realm ability in the secret realm, so he was given this inheritance.

Logically, the latter is more likely.

But if that's the case, there's no need to provide so many books to choose from, and Tengman wouldn't need to go to such lengths to get him to choose a third book.

So while the latter seems more reasonable, the former is actually the most likely.

"Being a chosen one does have its advantages."

Chen Lin made a self-deprecating remark.

Then carefully study and understand the inheritance.

Gradually, a look of amazement appeared on his face, and he was filled with admiration for the shadow scholar.

The legacy has no name.

The main effects are divided into two parts. One part is that it can force people into a state of 'childlike innocence', and the duration of this state is related to the degree of control over the secret technique.

Theoretically, it can remain so indefinitely.

This is a rather terrifying skill.

The pure heart is considered the most suitable state for cultivation, providing an advantage to any cultivation technique or secret art.

But it is also the rarest of abilities.

From the moment a cultivator embarks on the path of cultivation, it is as if they have entered a great melting pot, a place of intrigue, scheming, and deceit. Even the purest of beings cannot maintain their innocent and pure nature.

That's why so few people can enter the Spirit Empowerment Realm.

The fact that even such a secret technique could be created shows just how terrifying the Shadow Scholar's talent is.

Chen Lin was very excited.

This secret technique alone made his life-or-death struggle worthwhile, and his losses were more than doubled.

With this secret method, not only will the cultivation difficulties of the Spirit Empowerment Realm be solved, but it will also benefit the cultivation of other techniques and greatly help in the dispelling of the soul.

Calm down the excitement.

Chen Lin reviewed the content of Part Two.

This section introduces the tips, precautions, characteristics, and functions of each stage for improving one's Spirit Empowerment Realm.

Just as I knew before.

The content also divides it into three stages: intention, infusion of spirit, and the Creator.

However, it was further divided into detailed categories.

The intention aspect is only briefly mentioned; the main focus is on the spirit-imbuing stage and the analysis of the Creator.

Chen Lin's interest was greatly piqued.

He immediately concentrated intently on comprehending it.
