I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

"Can you tell whether this person is male or female?"

Chen Lin continued his conversation with Tie Zhu.

This blue alien was very mysterious and seemed to know a lot about the Ferry of Life. Moreover, the fact that he left so decisively meant that he didn't need to be taken out of the mission space, so he must not be an unknown person.

"It's hard to tell. She speaks like a woman, but her expression and attitude are like a man's. Maybe she's neither male nor female."

Tie Zhu answered casually.

Chen Lin pondered for a while and then stopped worrying about it.

To ascertain the other party's identity, one can inquire once inside the Star Ruins. It's impossible for a battle between Sovereign-level powerhouses to remain completely secret. By simply learning about the situation at Four Seasons Manor, one can get a general idea.

It's no use knowing now.

then.

After studying the Transformation Pearl, Chen Lin prepared to try cultivating the Eight Desolate Heaven-Asking Finger.

The original owner had already mastered the basics of this technique. With three more opportunities to be exempt from the divine intervention, he could advance to the mid-stage of the Mang Realm and use it against enemies.

Just then, Hua Qianyu flew back.

Looking around in surprise, he said, "I think I just heard some unfamiliar voices. Has someone else come here?"

"Someone came, but they've already left."

Chen Linhan responded.

He then added, "I plan to stay here for a while, about six months, mainly to study the cultivation technique. During this time, you and Hua Yi will take turns keeping watch, so don't be careless."

Hua Qianyu showed a look of surprise.

She had previously proposed building a base here, but the other party rejected it outright. Now, for no apparent reason, she has changed her mind.

Could it be related to the person who just arrived?

She looked left and right suspiciously, but couldn't see anything, so she could only suppress her doubts.

Then, looking at Chen Lin, he asked, "Brother Yan, are you going to cultivate the Eight Desolate Heaven-Asking Finger?"

"good."

Chen Lin did not hide anything.

He then added, "However, this technique is very profound. I need other techniques to verify it. Do you have any techniques that can be passed on to others?"

Hua Qianyu fell silent.

After a while, he reached into the package and took out a scroll of bamboo slips.

Reluctantly handing it to Chen Lin, he said, "Have you been eyeing this technique for a while now? Since you want it, here you go. However, I've already used up all the inheritance imprints on it, so you'll have to figure it out on your own. This technique is exceptionally difficult; even getting started isn't easy. You should think carefully before you decide whether you want to cultivate it."

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow slightly.

It seems the other party has misunderstood something.

But he didn't explain. He took the bamboo scroll in his hand and slowly unfolded it to examine it.

His expression changed instantly.

The characters on the bamboo slips were completely different from those of the Eight Desolations Asking Heaven Finger technique; they were much more obscure and profound, clearly designed specifically for recording advanced techniques. This is because the essence of some advanced techniques can only be expressed through such profound characters.

With the guidance of the rules governing life's journey, Chen Lin naturally came to understand the meaning of words.

Start watching it word by word, sentence by sentence.

The more I looked, the more surprised I became.

As Hua Qianyu said, this technique is extremely profound. He has read countless manuals and it seems that apart from the Soul Master's inheritance, none of them are as obscure as this one.

The Soul Master's inheritance is an initiation, which allows one to comprehend most of it directly, while this requires self-cultivation and is indeed not something that ordinary people can fully comprehend.

But Chen Lin wasn't worried.

With the blessing of a childlike heart, he is no longer the dull-witted person with poor comprehension. As long as he has enough patience, it is only a matter of time before he comprehends the truth.

About an incense stick's time has passed.

Chen Lin closed the bamboo scroll and glanced at the name at the beginning.

"The Myriad Manifestations Technique"

His eyes flickered.

The word "myriad phenomena" made him very sensitive, because he had suspected that the problem with the divine star in his body was related to the myriad phenomena porridge he had drunk, but he had never been able to verify it.

He pondered for a moment.

Chen Lin spoke up, "This technique is not bad, but is this the only scroll you obtained from the temple?"

Judging from the description, the upper limit of this technique is not only the Wheel Realm, but also involves the part after the Wheel Realm, but it is very little. Therefore, he suspects that the content is incomplete and there should be a second half.

"It was obtained from the temple."

Hua Qianyu nodded.

"Brother Yan, you've also noticed that the technique is incomplete? That's right, there is indeed a second half."

He immediately explained, "But I only received the first half of this scroll. Although I have obtained the mark inheritance, I have only just begun. If I want to break through to the Mang Realm, I must enter the temple again to pray and remove the bottleneck."

"As for the second half, it must also be obtained from the temple."

Chen Lin frowned.

He asked in confusion, "Since the temple has distributed divine skill manuals, why would it set up bottlenecks and flaws, forcing cultivators to constantly pray for them? What do you think is the reason?"

"Who knows."

"Perhaps they are filtering something, or searching for something."

Hua Qianyu looked like she didn't know either.

Chen Lin thought the other party made sense; they were probably screening for a certain type of talent, otherwise it would be too unreasonable to do so.

But this way.

The existence of temples is not necessarily for fighting monsters.

The monsters were even released by the temple to force cultivators in this world to enter the temple and obtain stronger abilities.

Everything is possible.

After some deliberation.

Chen Lin raised the bamboo scroll in his hand and looked at Hua Qianyu, saying, "I've decided to switch to your cultivation method. In order to learn it more quickly, I'll need your help to explain it to me. As my strength improves, I can also better ensure your safety."

"I understand the reason."

Hua Qianyu nodded repeatedly.

He immediately shrugged again, "But I really can't help Brother Yan. The first step in cultivating this technique is a bottleneck. Now that the inheritance mark is gone, if you want to get started, you can only go to the temple to pray and ask the gods for help."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Lin glanced at the other person.

He smiled and said, "Nothing in this world is perfect. It's normal for such an advanced technique to be somewhat difficult. You can explain it to me, and whether I can successfully cultivate it depends on my fate."

"I'm glad you understand, Brother Yan."

Hua Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Without further ado, he began explaining the technique to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin was somewhat helpless about this. The other party's cultivation level was not yet at the Mang Realm, and his understanding of the technique was not yet fully grasped, so he could not directly perform the empowerment technique. Otherwise, he would not have had to go to such lengths.

no way.

We can only figure it out little by little.

Time flies like an arrow; several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the simple cave dwelling, Chen Lin held a Transformation Pearl in his hand and sat upright on a futon.

His face showed helplessness.

He gave a wry smile and muttered to himself, "It seems my comprehension is still lacking. Even a childlike heart can't save me. If the Shadow Scholar finds out, I'm afraid he won't take back the Book of No Words."

Chen Lin did not expect that even with Hua Qianyu's explanation and the blessing of his childlike heart, it would still take him nearly half a year to fully comprehend the introductory part of the Myriad Manifestations Technique.

This volume is divided into five parts.

There is no clear division of realms, but judging from the power of supernatural abilities, they can basically correspond to the realms of this world, and he only has mastered the content of the Qi realm.

However, compared to the realms of immortal cultivation, it becomes quite confusing.

If classified according to energy changes, the Qi Realm should be considered the Qi Refining stage.

The Mangjing realm is the Foundation Establishment stage. But in reality, they are not the same.

The cage here belongs to the realm category, and cultivators need to reach the Nascent Soul realm to open up a realm.

As for the Wheel Realm.

According to Hua Qianyu, it condenses into a divine wheel within the body, but she doesn't know its specific purpose. Even during the Age of Light, there were no Wheel Realm experts in Baili City, and the records in the ancient texts are very vague.

In short, it's very powerful and mysterious.

Legend has it that once a divine wheel is formed, one transcends the realm of ordinary cultivators. If one cultivates the divine wheel to perfection, one can ascend to heaven and achieve the dream of immortality.

After reviewing the martial arts realms of this world, I recalled the contents of the cultivation techniques.

Chen Lin composed himself.

First, enter a state of childlike innocence, and then begin practicing the cultivation technique.

The reason he abandoned the Eight Desolate Heaven-Questioning Finger and chose this technique was not only because it was of a higher level, but also because its characteristics suited him.

The method of practicing the technique perfectly matches its name.

It is all-encompassing, can be matched with any cultivation method, can coexist with it, and can also be integrated with it.

It also has the ability to devour.

It not only devours the energy of heaven and earth, but also devours energy crystals, spiritual bodies, rare and precious materials, and even high-level treasures, etc. It can be said that it has no restraint.

of course.

If the energy is not pure, not of a high enough level, or has a rebellious nature, the effect of devouring will be greatly weakened.

It is not without limitations.

Even so, it's still quite terrifying.

Chen Lin's plan was that if he could take this technique out, he would absorb and integrate both the Black Tiger Heart-Piercing and Snow-Treading Plum Blossom techniques, and specialize in cultivating this one.

If possible, devour and merge all other useless abilities as well.

If he can't achieve this with just this technique, he also has the Great Fusion Technique to assist him. Right now, the things he cultivates are too mixed. If he can integrate them together, it will be of great benefit to his future cultivation.

But the premise is.

He needs to obtain the complete set of this technique and be able to take it out with him.

No more distractions.

With a thought, Chen Lin activated the Transformation Pearl.

Suddenly I felt a lightness in my body.

It was as if an invisible shackle had been broken, the sky was high and the earth was vast, my mind was clear and my spirit was greatly enhanced.

Then try cultivating again.

The previous inability to find the way in has disappeared, and instead, progress has become gradual, with invisible energy gradually being generated.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The blue alien hadn't lied to him; the Transformation Pearl really was useful.

The principle is quite simple: it is equivalent to breaking through the rules of this world, making what was originally impossible possible.

It's similar to how he uses his innate talent of destiny to craft items.

Although I didn't sense any power of destiny in the Transformation Pearl, it is very likely that it is also a treasure of destiny type.

Unfortunately, it's a one-time use item; once it's used up, it's gone.

Having used up one of the Transformation Pearls, Chen Lin dared not waste any more time. He stopped thinking about other things and focused on practicing his cultivation technique.

Time passed little by little.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Chen Lin finally finished his practice and stood up, raising his hand to strike out at the wall to one side.

A faint palm strike landed on the wall, instantly creating cracks across the entire rock face before piercing through it, sending rubble flying down from the outside of the mountain.

Hua Yi and Hua Qianyu, who were waiting outside, were both startled.

They exchanged a glance.

We were about to enter the cave to check the situation.

"There's no need to come in; the cave is gone."

Chen Lin walked out from inside, his voice tinged with weariness.

This technique truly lives up to its reputation as top-tier; it is indeed difficult to cultivate. Even just getting to the basics took him so long.

Even so, he managed to merge the innate energy cultivated by the original owner with it, barely managing to refine the first level.

The entire first phase has nine floors.

To fully master the cultivation, it would probably take at least a hundred years, and even then, success is not guaranteed.

But after glancing at the broken mountainside, Chen Lin's eyes lit up again.

He is only at the first level of the Qi Realm, yet he can unleash such a powerful attack. This Myriad Manifestations Technique is even more powerful than he expected, far surpassing the power of a Qi Refining early stage cultivator.

Even if one reaches the peak of Qi cultivation, without using any magical artifacts, it's still nothing special.

"How is it? Anything unusual nearby?"

Chen Lin asked Hua Qianyu.

Hua Yi lacks advanced abilities and even has difficulty seeing in the dark, so the patrols are always handled by the other party, while Hua Yi is mainly responsible for guarding the cave.

"There's nothing unusual, except that there were two instances of low-level alien beasts. Didn't you eat the roasted meat too?"

Hua Qianyu replied.

Then he looked at Chen Lin, and then at the collapsed mountain.

With a look of surprise and doubt, he asked, "You've mastered the basics of the technique, how did you do that?"

"hehe."

Chen Lin chuckled.

He put on an arrogant air and said, "Nothing in this world is absolute. Although the temple's techniques have flaws, it is not necessarily necessary to pray to the gods to solve them. As long as one has enough talent, it is not impossible to force a breakthrough."

"Force a breakthrough?"

Hua Qianyu looked doubtful.

She didn't know about others, but since they were both from Baili City and admirers of hers, she had a certain understanding of Yan Beixuan. She knew that his aptitude was mediocre and that in terms of cultivation talent, he was far inferior to hers.

Therefore, she doesn't believe this claim at all.

But it's no use not to believe it.

Times have changed. The other party is no longer the good-for-nothing old man he once was, and she is no longer the favored daughter of a prominent family. Their identities have long since been reversed.

Now she wants to have a child with someone, but they don't want to.

So he immediately forced a smile.

She then said with admiration, "Brother Yan is truly a late bloomer. He was constrained in Baili City before, but now he has shown his true talent for cultivation. I will need Brother Yan's help in the future."

"That's natural."

Chen Lin was in a relatively good mood and, unlike his usual cold demeanor, made a promise.

That's just how he is.

We must repay both our debts of gratitude and our grievances.

Since the other party had given him the temple's cultivation techniques, he felt he should also offer them some help in return.

Hua Qianyu was overjoyed.

He immediately bowed slightly and said, "I am content with Brother Yan's words. Whether I can live or how long I can live depends on fate."

"Hahaha!"

Chen Lin laughed heartily.

Looking up at the sky, he said, "If the heavens have a spirit, they are nothing more than cultivators. The Great Dao is unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen next. Therefore, the will of heaven is not inviolable. Perhaps one day, you and I will be able to transcend the will of heaven."

Hua Qianyu was stunned.

Staring in astonishment at the person before him, he couldn't reconcile the image of Yan Beixuan from back then. (End of Chapter)
