I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2175 Arrest
Manager Qian waited for quite a while.

But no one said a word.

A planet entirely composed of Crimson Cloud Gold is worth far more than the maximum value of any treasure, and no one is willing to compete for it anymore.

Chen Lin didn't make a move either.

Moreover, he never intended to make a move; even if there were no competitors, he wouldn't participate.

He needs the Star Toad fragments and is also interested in the special Nightmare Realm scenes, but right now he doesn't want people to associate him with his identity in the Boundary River. The longer he can hide it, the more certain he is of leaving safely.

The slave-catching team exists to capture cultivators who have smuggled themselves across the border river, so we have to be wary of them.

He had no idea about this information before and had even considered bringing his family out with him. Now, however, he had to find a way to send the information back to them and tell them not to enter the outer space.

"Since no one is bidding higher, this treasure belongs to Fairy Shangguan."

Shopkeeper Qian was somewhat disappointed, but still followed the rules and completed the transaction with the veiled woman.

Soon it was Chen Lin's turn.

He paused for a moment, then asked, "I want to find out what caused the teleportation array in Peach Blossom Sea to close, whether it poses any danger to us, and when it will be unblocked."

After speaking, he looked at Manager Shi.

The other party is the disciple of the Peach Blossom Fairy, so they should know some inside information.

"This news?"

Manager Shi tapped the table twice lightly.

Then he said, "This is not a secret. You will all know soon enough if I don't tell you. But since some fellow Daoists have asked, I will explain it to you."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shi."

Immediately, someone clasped their hands in thanks.

This information wasn't just something Chen Lin wanted to know; everyone wanted to find out. Although they were all Eternal Realm experts, they didn't want to get involved in troublesome vortexes.

"You're welcome."

Manager Shi waved his hand.

"The unexpected turn of events at this auction is due to our Tao Hai's lack of care and the inconvenience caused to everyone. We hope you fellow Daoists will forgive us. However, we had no choice. Lord Tian Duo has come here in person, and my master could not refuse to give him face."

"Lord Tianduo?"

At least half of the people present looked surprised.

Chen Lin was the same.

He had never heard of this name, Tianduo.

Although he had been trying to learn about extraterrestrial regions, they were too vast, and he spent most of his time traveling and collecting resources, so he was still unclear about many things.

"Lord Tianduo is the disciple of Senior Tianhu Fisherman, and his name is Fu Tianduo."

Manager Shi replied.

He then added, "In addition, he is also a member of the Four Seasons Manor, one of the major powers in the Star Ruins. Now that Senior Tianhu Fisherman is away, the affairs of the Seven Star Realm are all handled by his disciples."

“Although my master is not afraid of him, he still has to give Senior Tianhu Fisherman some face. After all, all the forces in Xingxu have tacitly agreed that this realm is under Senior Tianhu Fisherman’s control, so it is not good to confront him directly.”

Chen Lin thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."

That Peach Blossom Fairy does indeed have a background in the Star Ruins, and she must be a member of a top-tier power.

I just don't know if it's one of the few he knows.

"What is Lord Tianduo's cultivation level, and why does he want to seal off Peach Blossom Sea?"

Someone asked Chen Lin a question.

Manager Shi paused for a moment.

He replied, "Everyone here is an Eternal Realm expert, and you have all been introduced by someone. So I won't hide it from you, Lord Tianduo is also an Eternal Realm expert, and a Star Ruins life form, who possesses high-dimensional energy. We are not capable of contending with him."

"As for the purpose of this trip, it is to capture a cultivator."

Chen Lin's heart sank.

The other party's answer made him lose any hope of getting away with it.

Judging from the current situation, among the 'fish' raised by the old fisherman of Tianhu, he seems to be the strongest. Moreover, he has mastered high-dimensional methods and has left the boundary river, so there is no one else but him as a target for capture.

"What kind of cultivator are they trying to capture? Why not issue an arrest warrant so everyone can search for them?"

Someone asked again.

Chen Lin's ears perked up.

If he's certain that the target is him, then he can't wait any longer; he needs to enter the quill scene first.

Manager Shi did not hesitate any longer.

He immediately replied, "My master also raised this question. Lord Tianduo's answer was that the cultivator's methods were too strong, and the eternal powerhouses in the Seven Star Realm were no match for him. Therefore, he asked the Black Demon King and the Feng Hua Supreme for help."

"Even the Supreme Emperor of Feng Hua is here?"

Everyone's expression changed.

Chen Lin's heart sank even further.

He was all too familiar with the name Feng Hua Zhi Zun.

The other party is the culprit who used the World Annihilation Talisman to suppress the Rainbow Realm, causing no one in the Rainbow Realm to be able to advance to Eternity for tens of thousands of years.

This also led to his time travel.

Then yesterday, the villa manipulated time, changing his time travel point, causing Kaguya and the others' plan to fail.

It can be said that the opponent's single move plunged the entire Rainbow Realm from heaven to hell. Only when the Rainbow Bridge was fully revealed this time did the power of the Annihilation Talisman weaken.

I wonder if the other side still has the World Annihilation Talisman.

If so, it would probably reinforce the seal on the rainbow realm.

While thinking.

Manager Shi began to answer the questions.

She said calmly, "The Venerable Feng Hua has been cultivating for too long, and his Dao Tribulation has accumulated to an extremely high level. He is not willing to go out much, so after arriving in Peach Blossom Sea, he has been in seclusion in my master's Peach Blossom Cottage."

"All right."

Manager Shi ended the conversation.

"I've said all I can say. In short, the person we're looking for this time is very important. It's best if you all don't rush things. If you say anything you shouldn't and displease Lord Tianduo and the two Supreme Beings, even my master can't save you."

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Shi."

Everyone expressed their gratitude.

They originally intended to demand an explanation, after all, they were all powerful figures in their respective fields and had their own backgrounds. Having suffered such 'humiliation,' they had to express their stance.

Now, however, he dares not say anything more.

The scene calmed down, and everyone continued exchanging items.

Chen Lin pondered silently, planning his next move.

Based on the information he has gathered over the years, he can confirm that the Supreme is not a ruler, but rather, like the Sword Maiden, is merely an eternal perfection that has merged with a part of the self and possesses the characteristics of a ruler.

According to this calculation, he could be considered the supreme being.

This is not speculation.

You can judge by the quantity.

According to Xiao Hua, Yue Yingxian, and others, there are no more than one hundred active rulers within the entire known Star Ruins area, and if you include those who cannot move freely, there are at most one hundred and fifty or sixty.

However, there are more than two hundred slave seal masters in the Seven Star Realm!
How could the ruler of one realm surpass the entire Star Ruins?

and so.

The title "Slave Seal Overlord" is merely a name; in reality, it signifies eternal perfection. Even the overlord's characteristics may not be obtained through the fusion of self and other, but rather bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Lake Fisherman through the "Slave Seal."

If this is the case.

Chen Lin believed that these supreme experts were not so terrifying.

of course.

He is definitely not a match for him yet.

After all, his cultivation level is only at the Eternal Realm, while I have only fused with one, and that is only the physical part. Even if we master high-dimensional energy, there is still a certain gap.

Because the dominant characteristic after merging with another self is also a high-dimensional energy, he cannot suppress it by relying on energy.

However, Chen Lin felt...

He wouldn't be so desperate as to lose his life; at least it's unlikely that his Formless Symbiosis Secret Technique would be interrupted.

I felt a little more at ease.

Chen Lin focused his attention on the exchange meeting.

An hour passed. Manager Qian clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad. This is indeed a high-end exchange event. The quality of the treasures is exceptional. Everyone has exchanged almost everything they needed to. Let's call it a day. I will notify everyone if there are any similar gatherings in the future."

Everyone immediately exchanged pleasantries, then got up to take their leave.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait."

As soon as Chen Lin stepped out of Qianji Trading Company, the old man in black caught up with him.

"Fellow Daoist, you're leaving in such a hurry, are you trying to renege on your debt?"

Approaching Chen Lin's side, the old man in black spoke with an unfriendly expression.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist underestimates me too much. Besides, it's just some information about the Nightmare Realm. What's there to renege on? Fellow Daoist, just tell me what you want to know."

Chen Lin chuckled and ignored the other party's rudeness.

The old man in black's expression softened slightly.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere else to discuss this."

After speaking, he looked around.

Pointing to a suspended building in the sky, he said, "Let's go to the Drunken Pavilion. We can't leave anytime soon anyway, so we might as well try the fine wine here."

"can."

Although Chen Lin was eager to find out the situation, he restrained himself and flew up to the floating building with the other party.

The place is already packed with people.

The two could only clear out a private room at a high price, and then ordered two jugs of spirit wine to drink and talk.

"Fellow Daoist, please tell me first, what was the scene like when you obtained that tree bark, what level was it, and were there any restrictions or requirements regarding the travel permit?"

After downing a cup of wine, the old man in black couldn't wait to ask.

Chen Lin glanced at the other person.

Instead of answering immediately, he asked in return, "Fellow Daoist is so familiar with the Nightmare Realm, could it be that you are not a cultivator from this alien region, but rather from within the Boundary River?"

The Nightmare Realm was originally created by the Star Emperor using the Boundary River, and cultivators from outer star regions rarely have access to it.

"There's no need for you to worry about that, fellow Daoist."

The old man in black did not respond directly, but urged again: "You and I are just making a deal. We don't need to know too much about each other. You just need to give me the details of this scene and the medium, as agreed before."

“I never said I would give you a medium.”

Chen Lin immediately corrected the other person's mistake.

Although he had extra quills for the scene, he couldn't just give them away for free, especially since he needed to go inside to avoid trouble, so he couldn't just take them out easily.

The old man in black frowned.

He said in a deep voice, "You're going too far. Do you really think that information about just one scene is worth a bone sparrow feather? What use is it if I can't get in? With our cultivation levels, there's no need for us to go back on our word."

Chen Lin blinked.

Finally, he nodded.

“I can give you the medium, but we need to sign a contract. You are not allowed to enter it for a hundred years, because I have something to take care of inside during that time.”

"A hundred years? No problem."

The old man in black readily agreed.

Chen Lin didn't make any further requests and simply recounted the situation involving the quill pen.

"Can't see the life inside?"

After listening to the story, the old man in black raised his eyebrows slightly, his interest growing stronger.

I was even a little excited.

"The rumors were true after all. The Nightmare Realm scenes that can be entered from outer space are all high-dimensional spaces!"

He muttered something.

The old man in black looked at Chen Lin again.

He asked urgently, "There must be a mission to leave there too, right? What is it?"

"It involves going into a building inside and completing a task. As long as you get a passing grade or higher, you can leave. As for the specifics of the task, I can't tell you due to the rules."

Chen Lin gave his answer.

However, he concealed part of it. The rules of the Ferry of Life only require that the contents of the life mission not be disclosed, but do not say that the Ferry of Life cannot be mentioned. He told Chen Ling'er back then and it was fine.

But he doesn't want people to know that he can enter the Ferry of Life, so he has to keep this information hidden.

The old man in black stared into Chen Lin's eyes.

But since they couldn't figure it out, they had no choice but to accept this explanation.

He then asked, "How dangerous are the tasks within the building?"

"It depends on luck."

Chen Lin poured himself a glass of spirit wine.

He downed his drink in one gulp and said, "If I'm lucky, completing the task isn't difficult, but if I don't get a high rating, I won't get any benefits."

"If you're unlucky."

"Then it will be very difficult to get out. The success rate for high-dimensional creatures in that scenario is not very high."

"besides."

Chen Lin remembered something and said, "There is a time limit for entering that building. The first two times you need to wait ten years, the third time you need to wait a hundred years, the third time you need to wait a thousand years, and so on."

"I see. Okay, I understand."

The old man in black raised his cup and drank the wine in one gulp.

Chen Lin saw this.

Take out a contract scroll.

After unfolding it, use your soul power to write restrictions on it, and then place it in front of the other party.

The old man in black checked and found nothing wrong, then imprinted his soul mark on the mark.

The scroll spontaneously combusted without a flame and turned to ashes in an instant.

"Alright, the contract is complete. Give me the medium."

As the ashes dissipated, the old man in black spoke.

Without further ado, Chen Qu produced an item that could act as a medium and handed it to the other party.

He explained, "Having the medium alone won't work; you also need merit coins to use it, otherwise you won't be able to enter. However, I don't have any merit coins left, so you'll have to collect them yourself."

"Does it also require merit coins?"

The old man in black's eyes flashed.

"So, the medium that Manager Qian sells requires three merit coins to enhance, which means the corresponding scene level must be even higher?" he exclaimed in surprise.

"should be."

Chen Lin nodded slightly.

Then, looking at the other party, he said, "Fellow Daoist, do you have any extra merit coins? If so, I can exchange them with high-dimensional spiritual fruits."

"What kind of spirit fruit?"

The old man in black was somewhat tempted.

Chen Lin took out a healing spiritual fruit from the Fruit Pit Cave.

He showed it off and said, "How about this? Just give me five merit coins, and it's yours."

"I don't have that many, I can only give you three."

The old man in black glanced at it and immediately confirmed that the fruit indeed exhibited high-dimensional fluctuations, and then began to bargain.

"Then three will do, since I need them."

Chen Lin agreed.

He accepted the merit coins from the other party, stood up and said, "The transaction is complete. I won't disturb you any longer. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future."

The old man in black pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, he asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you interested in the scene corresponding to that Star Toad fragment?"

"No."

Chen Lin shook his head repeatedly.

Then he walked towards the door and said, "A high level doesn't necessarily mean it's useful. It depends on whether you have the ability to get out of there. If you die in there, you'll lose everything."

After saying that, he left Wuzui Tower without waiting for the other party to speak again.
