I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2185 Temple
Seeing the woman's change, Chen Lin's heart grew heavy.

Even if his cultivation level were not suppressed, he would still need to exert all his strength to heal such a dying person, and it wouldn't be possible to do so quickly.

What exactly is this divine mud?

How powerful must someone be to produce such an item?

"It seems this place is even more dangerous than we imagined!"

Chen Lin and Tie Zhu sighed.

"It's ok."

Tie Zhu, however, didn't care at all.

He even exclaimed excitedly, "Dad and I are both protagonists! We'll start a dual-protagonist mode, and we'll definitely overcome all obstacles to become two of the greatest heroes in the world!"

Chen Lin rubbed his temples.

He stopped talking to Tie Zhu and looked at the woman who had already stood up.

"Mom, this uncle gave us the water. He's a good man."

The child held the woman's hand and shook it happily as he spoke.

"Yes, he is indeed a good person."

The woman spoke very softly.

Then she bowed to Chen Lin and said, "I am Yang Liushi. Thank you for saving me, my benefactor. My son, Xiao Qi, is young and speaks without thinking. Please forgive him if he has offended you in any way."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Lin waved his hand slightly.

Then he said calmly, "I only gave you some spiritual liquid. Your recovery is all thanks to the divine mud your son provided. However, I have never used divine mud before and I am very curious about what it feels like. Could you describe it to me? Are you feeling any discomfort right now?"

Yang Liushi's eyes flickered slightly.

Instead of answering Chen Lin's question, he glanced at the crowd around him and muttered, "It's getting darker and darker; it's probably coming again."

Chen Lin frowned.

He blurted out, "Who is Madam referring to?"

Yang Liu was taken aback.

She asked suspiciously, "If I remember correctly, your name is Yan Beixuan, right? You were already in the group before we joined, so why are you asking about me?"

"I was seriously injured and fell into a coma before, and my memory was damaged. There are some things I can't remember. Please enlighten me, Madam."

Chen Lin then came up with an excuse.

Yang Liushi had no doubts, because the abilities of dark monsters were varied and strange, and it was normal for someone to lose their memory.

So she said, "I see. Then I will speak to my benefactor and hope to help him regain his memories."

"Thank you."

Chen Lin cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Looking around, he said, "There are too many people here, let's talk over there so as not to disturb others' rest."

"what!"

Upon hearing Chen Lin's words, Xiao Qi exclaimed in surprise, and those a little further away cast strange glances at Yang Liu Shi with a half-smile.

Yang Liu's expression changed several times.

She still held Xiao Qi's hand and forced a smile at Chen Lin, saying, "Since my benefactor has said so, let's go to the side. However, I have just recovered, so please be gentle with me."

Chen Lin was completely confused.

What is lighter?
I immediately realized what was happening and was speechless.

What exactly did the original owner of this body do to leave such an impression on the group? It seemed like he wanted to have something happen with any woman he just glanced at.

Chen Lin did not explain.

We can discuss the character setup later. Right now, we need to figure out the situation as soon as possible to avoid being caught off guard and unsure of how to respond.

The two walked out of the group one after the other.

But they didn't go far.

They found a pile of rubble, and Yang Liu had Xiao Qi sit on the edge of the rubble, then looked at a large rock next to them.

He said to Chen Lin, "Let's go behind that rock. Xiao Qi is still young, we don't want him to see things he shouldn't see."

Chen Lin's lips twitched.

He gestured with his hand and said, "Madam, you're overthinking it. I really just wanted to get some information from you, I didn't mean anything else. We can talk here."

Yang Liu was taken aback again.

Nod.

"It seems I am too pathetic to meet your expectations and have disappointed you. In that case, please ask whatever you wish to ask."

Chen Lin ignored the other person's words.

He asked directly, "Who is this 'it' you just mentioned?"

Yang Liushi also regained her composure.

He immediately replied, "It's that red shadow monster. It's been more than ten days since it ate someone last time, and it should be coming again. I wonder who will be chosen this time."

"monster?"

Chen Lin frowned.

He immediately asked, "What kind of monster is it? What are its abilities? Since such a monster is chasing us, why aren't we running?"

"run?"

Yang Liu gave Chen Lin a deep look.

"It seems our benefactor has truly lost his memory. That red-shadowed monster came and went without a trace; we couldn't even see its exact appearance, so there was no way it could have escaped."

talking.

She gazed into the distance.

His voice was filled with confusion as he murmured, "And even if we run, where can we run to?"

"Even if we get rid of this monster, new monsters will appear. Although this monster is ferocious, it only captures one person at a time, and then we can be safe for more than ten days. If it is replaced by other monsters, it may eat us all at once."

Chen Lin remained silent for a while.

After analyzing what the other person said, he asked, "So where are we going?"

Yang Liu shook her head.

"I don't know. I'll just go wherever the road takes me. I'll see if I can find a larger group or a gathering place. Otherwise, I'll just wait to die."

Chen Lin took a deep breath.

The situation appears to be worse than expected.

Humans here are clearly the vulnerable group. Monsters hunt humans for food, and it's pitch black. Even with the Heavenly Eye Divine Power, one can only see things within a few feet.

The gray carrier pigeon's life coin was wasted; not only did the other party not help him, but they also gave him the most difficult task.

"Have you encountered several monsters? Can you tell how many types of monsters there are, and how strong the strongest one is?"

Chen Lin continued to ask questions.

He is now suffering from amnesia, so it's not surprising that he asks anything. As for whether the other person believes him or not, he doesn't care.

“There are many types of monsters, and almost none of them are the same. Even within the same type, the abilities they possess can vary greatly.”

"I haven't encountered many monsters, so I don't know how strong the strongest one is. Not only do I not know, but I think no one else does either."

Yang Liu answered them one by one.

Before Chen Lin could ask any more questions, she started talking to herself again.

"Since the darkness descended three hundred years ago, countless monsters have been recorded. It is said that some monsters can even destroy temples, and the human race has become lambs to the slaughter. It is unknown how long this can last."

Speaking of it.

Yang Liu looked at Chen Lin.

He sighed softly and said, "I can understand why my benefactor is fond of women. You must have heard the rumor that as long as the bloodline is not broken, one can be resurrected when the light returns."

"But this is just a rumor and it's not actually reliable."

“Dead is dead.” “Even if he could be resurrected, he would not be himself again. Bloodlines continue from generation to generation, and it is impossible for consciousness to remain pure. There is no need for my benefactor to dwell on this.”

Chen Lin understood.

So that's why the original owner was lustful. He was indeed someone with a huge obsession with living, no wonder he issued a mission to survive.

The other party is unable to continue having offspring and wants to use this life mission to pass on the 'seed'.

What is a temple?

Chen Lin put aside his distracting thoughts and continued asking questions.

"My benefactor doesn't even remember the temple?"

Yang Liu glanced at Chen Lin, her eyes filled with doubt and surprise.

Should I remember?

Chen Lin asked a question in return.

Then he added, “You don’t need to keep calling me your benefactor. I only gave you some spiritual liquid. What truly brought you back to life was that divine mud. If you want to thank someone, you should thank your son.”

As he spoke, Chen Lin looked at Xiao Qi.

The other person sat obediently on the rock, quietly holding Yang Liu's hand, without moving at all.

"Then I shall address you as Elder Yan?"

Yang Liu tightened her grip on Xiao Qi's hand and made a suggestion.

Chen Lin shook his head.

"That title is too old-fashioned. I'm not actually that old. You can either call me by my full name or just call me Brother Yan."

"Then call him Brother Yan."

Yang Liu chuckled softly.

Then he explained, "A temple is a mysterious temple, and there may not be one, but many. The location of the temple is not fixed. It may appear at any time and in any place, but it appears many times."

According to the records left by our ancestors, people born after darkness has a great chance of encountering a temple.

What are the benefits of encountering this?

Chen Lin pressed for an answer.

"It's not certain. Whether you can get any benefits depends on whether you have the opportunity. But as long as you can enter the temple, you can get something, more or less. My son received divine mud from the gods, which could bring him back to life once, but he used it on me."

Yang Liu held Xiao Qi in her arms, looking remorseful.

"Besides the divine mud, what else is there? Are there any cultivation techniques passed down, or powerful divine weapons?"

"besides."

"Since a temple exists, there must be statues of gods enshrined inside. Have any gods corresponding to those statues ever descended to earth?"

Chen Lin asked a series of questions.

As a high-level cultivator, he had no fear of gods. He had seen many gods, and he himself was a god. No matter how lofty the title, it was just a cultivation system.

"There are indeed statues of gods in the temple, but their faces are not clearly visible. As long as you pray to the statues, you have a chance to receive a reward, which may be a treasure like divine clay, or it may be a cultivation technique or a divine weapon."

Yang Liushi gazed once more at the distant darkness.

It was a mixture of anticipation, doubt, and, more than anything, bewilderment.

After a while.

She said softly, "The gods have never descended to earth. They can hear prayers and bestow treasures, but they never show themselves. Perhaps, as the legends say, the gods are subject to some kind of restriction and cannot descend to the world."

"It's also possible that they don't want to get involved."

Chen Lin said calmly.

"In the eyes of the gods, we are probably just ants. If we hear the ants' prayers, we might give them something we don't need if we're in a good mood, or we might even stomp on them if we're in a bad mood."

"Maybe."

Yang Liushi withdrew her gaze and looked solemnly at Chen Lin.

"Brother Yan has lost his memory and it is understandable that he lacks reverence for the temple, but he must not show it, otherwise he will be besieged by the temple's fanatical believers and may even be punished by the gods."

"Thank you for reminding."

Chen Lin nodded to indicate that he understood.

He is someone who listens to advice.

When you first arrive, you have to follow the rules here; going against the grain will only get you killed quickly.

He also figured out something else.

The reason why the people here all have extraordinary powers is because of the temple. With the temple there, there is no shortage of cultivation techniques, and it is easy to cultivate.

The original owner's Eight Desolations Heaven-Questioning Finger was definitely a product of the temple.

"Have we figured out why darkness has descended?"

Chen Lin looked at the darkness in the distance.

It's obvious without even guessing that this is the result of a power struggle between major forces, with the dark creatures on one side and the temple on the other.

However, major powers don't fight for no reason; they must be vying for something. We need to investigate the reasons, which might help us complete the mission.

The goal of the mission is to survive, but there is a limitation: wait for the light to return. If he could restore the light, he wouldn't have to spend so much time here, and he also lacks confidence that he can survive in this bizarre environment for a long time.

"do not know."

Yang Liu shook her head.

"Darkness has been present for over three hundred years. Few people are still alive in the Age of Light, and there are no books recording related matters, so I am not very clear about it either."

"What about cultivation realms? How many levels are there, and how long is the lifespan of each realm?"

Chen Lin continued to inquire about topics of interest.

Lifespan is a very important matter.

He is no longer an Eternal Realm expert; he no longer has a long lifespan. If he wants to hide away and wait for the light, he must live a long enough time.

"I don't know much about the realms of the Age of Light; it seems to be things like Acquired, Innate, and Grandmaster..."

Yang Liu pondered for a moment before answering.

"Let's ignore the era of enlightenment and just talk about the present."

Chen Lin interrupted the other party.

Yang Liu nodded gently and said, "The current realm originates from the temple. There are four realms in total: Qi Realm, Mang Realm, Cage Realm, and Wheel Realm."

Chen Lin's eyes flickered slightly.

He had never encountered this system of realms before, and did not know what it was named based on.

So he asked, "What are the abilities of each realm? Tell me in detail."

"Ah."

Yang Liushi responded.

He continued, "The Qi Realm is about generating Qi within the body. Only by generating this Qi can one strengthen oneself, barely be able to see in the dark, and also have some sense of danger."

"But this isn't difficult."

"As long as the child is born without congenital defects, with the help of the parents, they can generally cultivate qi at a young age. Some are exceptionally gifted and have qi from birth."

"But Mangjing is much more difficult."

Yang Liu smoothed her hair and said seriously, "The Mang Realm is the ability to generate light, break through darkness, and deter evil spirits. It is a sign of successful cultivation."

"If one can advance to the Mang Realm, even if one becomes a strong person, many people will be willing to attach themselves to them, and they will be recruited by large gathering places, increasing their lifespan by one degree."

"one time?"

Chen Lin immediately asked the question.

"It's been thirty years. Is Brother Yan's memory loss that severe? He needs some medication to recover. If he doesn't even know these basic facts, he might be mistaken for a monster."

Yang Liushi said with a look of inquiry in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not a monster."

Chen Lin replied.

Then he frowned and said, "Advancing to the Mang Realm only increases lifespan by thirty years? What about the Cage Realm?"
