I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2190 Temple
Three years later.

Chen Lin slowly finished his practice in the cave.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Originally, after mastering the Myriad Manifestations Technique, he planned to leave the valley and head to Jade Bright City, but after experiencing the power of this technique, he changed his mind.

So he continued his cultivation in the valley, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

In order to increase his cultivation speed, he consumed a lot of spiritual fruits and many treasures containing pure energy, but the effect was only mediocre.

Three years have passed, and he has only advanced his cultivation to the sixth level of the Qi Realm, not even reaching the later stage.

of course.

If we consider the speed at which cultivators in this realm grow, he can already be considered exceptionally talented.

Hua Qianyu showed shock more than once, because the other party had been cultivating for more than 30 years since obtaining the technique, and had only reached the fifth level of the Qi Realm.

The higher the level of the cultivation technique, the greater the difficulty of its practice.

Chen Lin naturally understood this and had high expectations for the Myriad Manifestations Technique. That was why he stayed here to cultivate despite the danger, hoping to solidify the technique and take it with him after completing his mission.

But the speed is really too slow.

With a cultivation technique of this level, it would be extremely difficult to dominate cultivation in the Seven Star Realm.

Although the cultivation technique can absorb energy, it also requires comprehending the universe. The Seven Star Realm is too low in dimension to support the cultivation of this technique, so the higher one can cultivate here, the better.

He pondered for a while.

Chen Lin walked out of the room and saw that Hua Yi was also cultivating.

"Owner!"

Upon seeing Chen Lin emerge, Hua Yi immediately stood up.

Where is Hua Qianyu?

Chen Lin asked a question.

"Sister Qianyu is patrolling outside. Should we call her back?"

After three years of living and working together, Hua Yi and Hua Qianyu have become like sisters. After all, it is easy to feel lonely in this boundless darkness, and Chen Lin has been in seclusion. With only the two of them together, it would be hard for them not to get along.

"Need not."

Chen Lin waved his hand.

Looking at the other person, he asked, "How is your cultivation going?"

"Reporting to Master, I have reached the late stage of Qi Realm. In another two years, I should be able to break through to Mang Realm."

Hua gave a boastful reply.

"good."

Chen Lin gave a compliment.

The other party is indeed worthy of praise. Although he is practicing the ordinary cultivation method given by Hua Qianyu, which is not comparable to the temple cultivation method in terms of difficulty, such speed is still amazing.

This is enough to show that the other party is exceptionally talented.

Also.

The fact that the other party can cultivate high-dimensional techniques is not only due to the support of the rules of their life mission, but also because their own talent level is not low. Otherwise, they would not even be able to communicate with the energy of heaven and earth.

Let's find out what's going on.

Chen Lin took to the air and surveyed the area around the mountain range. He then met with Hua Qianyu and decided to return to his cave to continue his seclusion.

Crossing the Lianyun Mountains is quite dangerous. Since we've already stayed here for so long, we might as well stay a little longer. If we can cultivate the Myriad Manifestations Technique to the Mang Realm, our chances of success will be much greater.

"Temple!"

Just as Chen Lin unfolded his soul wings to separate from Hua Qianyu, Hua Qianyu suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Suddenly, the void in the distance trembled inexplicably, and a strangely shaped building appeared out of thin air, exuding boundless majesty.

An intense sense of oppression enveloped my body.

Unable to maintain flight, Chen Lin crashed to the ground, and inexplicably felt a desire to prostrate himself in worship.

This feeling is very similar to when facing the disciples of the Heavenly God Palace.

But the sense of oppression is even stronger.

Although he wasn't a Red Ape and lacked the will to resist, Chen Lin still managed to withstand the aura of the Soul Master's inheritance and didn't kneel down.

Hua Qianyu, however, could not withstand it.

No.

It wasn't that they couldn't bear it, but rather that they didn't resist at all. Instead, they knelt down on the ground with great reverence, their faces filled with surprise.

"Thanks be to God for His mercy, I, Hua Qianyu from Baili City, wish to be Your child for all eternity!"

Hua Qianyu kowtowed repeatedly, muttering incantations.

Followed by.

The temple emitted a beam of light, enveloping her, and she disappeared before Chen Lin's eyes.

Before he could react.

Another beam of light descended, striking the location of the cave.

Chen Lin's expression changed.

Immediately, braving the immense pressure, they flew towards the cave, but upon arrival, they found no trace of Hua Yi.

His face turned even uglier.

Looked up.

They stared in disbelief at the temple that was appearing and disappearing.

According to Hua Qianyu, each appearance of the temple is for a specific person, representing a personal opportunity. In other words, the temple has always been there, and it is only when someone's opportunity arrives that they will be able to see its existence.

Since it's a matter of chance, there's no such thing as being forced.

Each time you see a temple, you have to kneel down to show your piety before you can be pulled inside.

If one shows the slightest disrespect, or is deemed not devout enough by the temple, one will miss the opportunity and watch helplessly as the temple disappears.

But the situation is different now.

It is clear.

The three of them saw the temple at the same time, and he had told Hua Yi that once he saw the temple, he should not try to enter it, as it was too strange and he did not want to get involved.

Hua Yi could not possibly disobey his orders.

But at this moment, the other party was also pulled into the temple.

He was the only one who didn't go in.

Chen Lin stared at the temple without moving, pondering why he hadn't been pulled in. After much thought, he figured it was probably because of the Soul Master's aura.

Only items like the Primordial Monument can rival a temple.

"How are you? Do you feel anything unusual?"

Chen Lin and Tie Zhu exchanged ideas.

"No, but this temple feels very strange and uncomfortable. I'm afraid it might be dangerous for Sister Hua Yi to be pulled inside. Should I go check on her?"

"Are you sure?"

Chen Lin hesitated.

Although Tie Zhu was of a high level and would not be affected by the pressure of the temple, his supernatural powers were limited and his strength had not reached the level of a ruler. He was afraid that the other party might perish inside.

"No problem, Dad, don't worry. With the main character here, all evil will be warded off!"

Tie Zhu said boldly.

"Don't be careless. Just take a closer look, but try not to go too deep inside. Hua Yi was pulled in, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's in danger."

Chen Lin hurriedly gave instructions.

"understood."

Tie Zhu was already eager to try, and he was launched into the air.

Its body was small to begin with, and was also dark in color, so it immediately disappeared into the darkness.

soon.

Even the symbiotic connection weakens and weakens until it completely disappears.

Chen Lin leaned against the mountainside, his eyes fixed on the temple. He used his Heavenly Eye Divine Power to its fullest extent, memorizing the appearance of the building.

suddenly.

His expression shifted.

Under the eaves on one side of the building, a shadow seemed to flicker.

However, visibility was obstructed in the darkness, and no matter how hard one looked, it was impossible to see what it was. The darkness here was a product of the rules, and even if one had the eyes of heaven, one could not penetrate it too far.

Chen Lin's curiosity was piqued.

After a brief hesitation, it took off and flew towards the nearest mountain.

Affected by the pressure of the temple, the Soul Wing Technique could not take off, and the energy in the body was also suppressed. It took a full incense stick's time to fly up to the top of the mountain.

Let's take another look.

This time, Chen Lin saw it clearly. There was a cat crouching under the eaves. It was all black except for one eye that glowed with a strange light. The reason he could see it was because of the light in that eye.

There's a cat in the temple? Chen Lin looked puzzled, finding it very unreasonable.

There are several possibilities in this situation.

First.

This cat is what is called a deity.

But Chen Lin felt it didn't seem like it. If it were a deity, it would be impossible for him not to sense his gaze, or even for him to see him.

Secondly,

The other party, like Hua Qianyu, was also a being from this world who had been pulled into the temple, but it was inexplicable why they would be squatting under the eaves, and it didn't seem quite right.

So that's the most likely one.

This cat is either a pet of a deity or a servant of a deity.

In this way, the gods are real and not illusory, and we must deal with them more carefully.

While pondering, Chen Lin kept an eye on the cat, trying to see what it was doing squatting there. But the cat blinked and then closed its eyes completely, its black body blending into the darkness, leaving no trace.

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment.

They abandoned the idea of ​​entering the temple and returned to their cave with doubts.

at the same time.

The temple trembled slightly and disappeared into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Hua Qianyu and Hua Yi returned to the ground at the same time and arrived together at the entrance of the cave.

"Owner!"

As soon as Hua saw Chen Lin, she immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Chen Lin gestured for the other person to be quiet with his eyes, then looked at Hua Qianyu and tentatively asked, "This is your third time entering the temple, right? What benefits have you gained?"

The other party once said that he had entered the temple once when he was seven years old and obtained the Myriad Manifestations Technique.

Later, at the age of eighteen, he encountered the temple again, which allowed him to break through the bottleneck in his cultivation technique and enter the mid-stage of the Qi Realm. If he can make up for the defects in his cultivation technique this time, there will be no obstacle to advancing to the late stage of the Qi Realm.

Hua Qianyu looked excited.

Stretch out your palm.

A small, snow-white bottle was revealed.

"I obtained three divine pills, which will allow me to break through the bottleneck three times!"

After saying that, he opened the bottle.

He poured out a snow-white pill and reluctantly presented it to Chen Lin.

"I am so grateful for your care these past few years. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive today. I'll give you this divine pill as a token of my gratitude."

"correct."

Hua Qianyu suddenly realized.

He put the elixir back and looked at Chen Lin, saying, "You've entered the temple, right? You should have already overcome your current bottleneck. Do you still need this elixir?"

"need."

Chen Lin stretched out his hand.

He only has two Transformation Pearls left, which can only allow him to enter the mid-stage of the Mang Realm. He naturally needs this kind of divine pill, but he does not plan to use it immediately. Instead, he wants to study it.

"Fine then, it's my fault for owing you."

Hua Qianyu reluctantly gave the pill to Chen Lin, then turned and entered her cave.

Chen Lin glanced at the other person's back.

He could sense that the other person must have received something else, but since the other person was unwilling to say, he didn't ask. Everyone has their own secrets, and there's no need to delve too deeply into them.

Moreover, the treasures given by the temple may be subject to rules that prevent them from being revealed, and even if you ask, the other party may not tell you.

On the contrary, it affects the relationship.

"What did you get?"

Chen Lin first glanced at the location where the temple had disappeared, then asked Hua Yi a question.

"Reporting to Master, I also received a bottle of divine pills and a hairpin."

"hairpin?"

Under Chen Lin's surprised gaze, Hua Yi took out two items from the pouch at her waist.

A snow-white bottle exactly like Hua Qianyu's, and a beautifully shaped but not very conspicuous hairpin, which is pearl-colored with some colorful patterns on it.

The hairpin is adorned with a three-petaled flower, giving it an inexplicable sense of elegance.

What is the use of this?

Chen Lin picked up the hairpin and tried to infuse it with innate energy, but he was unable to activate it.

"I do not know either."

Hua Yi shook her head.

Then he explained, "After I was enveloped in light, I entered a spacious hall. Inside the hall was a statue several meters tall and a stone platform, but nothing else."

"The statue's aura was extremely strong, and I couldn't resist it, so I knelt on the stone platform."

"And then I obtained these two items."

Chen Lin looked surprised.

"You didn't pray or utter a wish, and these two things just appeared?"

"Yes."

Hua Yi answered affirmatively.

Chen Lin glanced at the sky and sensed that something was amiss.

He immediately summoned Hua Qianyu via telepathy and asked, "How did you receive this divine gift? Did you make any requests?"

"Of course."

Hua Qianyu looked at Chen Lin in surprise.

He asked with a hint of doubt, "If you don't pray, how will the gods know what you need? Of course, even if you pray, you may not get what you ask for; it depends on the gods' mood. But what they give will definitely be related to what you pray for, only the level of the treasures will be different."

Are there any situations where you can't get it either?

Chen Lin continued to ask questions.

"Also."

Hua Qianyu nodded.

"Not only did some people return empty-handed, but others were severely punished for disrespecting the gods. I even suspect that some were directly eliminated by the gods. So never be disrespectful to the gods."

At this point, she realized what was happening.

His expression changed, and he said, "You didn't get anything, did you? Did you not kneel before the idol, or did you not use honorifics in your speech?"

"That's not true."

Chen Lin gave a perfunctory reply.

Then he waved his hand and said, "You two go and cultivate. I will be in charge of patrolling. Although only those who are destined can see the temple, it is possible that it will attract monsters. It will be safer if I guard it."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Yan."

Hua Qianyu was in a hurry to examine the treasure and did not delve into the loopholes in Chen Lin's words before turning around and leaving in a hurry.

"I'll stay with my master."

Hua Yi said to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin did not refuse. His main purpose was to send Hua Qianyu away so that Tie Zhu would not see her when he returned. As for Hua Yi, there was no need to avoid her.

"Tell me again in detail how you entered the temple."

With a flick of his wrist, he took out the pill bottle and hairpin again, and spoke to Hua Yi in a deep voice.

It's definitely not normal for the other party to have obtained these two items.

First of all.

Hua Yi didn't cultivate the temple's techniques, so he had no use for the divine pills. If anyone should be given a pill, it should be the techniques first.

Therefore, Chen Lin suspected that this bottle of pills was meant for him, and that the gods in the temple had seen through Hua Yi's identity and discovered his existence.

But what is the other party's purpose in doing this?

Is this an attempt to make amends?
Chen Lin immediately rejected it.

No matter how arrogant he was, he dared not believe that the gods would show him favor. If the true form of the deity entered, there might be a slight possibility, but right now he was just a minor cultivator at the Qi Realm.

It's not a gesture of goodwill.

That was an experiment.

He resisted the pressure of the temple and did not kneel down, which must have violated the rules for being drawn into the temple. Therefore, the other party could not give him the items directly and could only do so indirectly.

This is very possible.

Anyone who applies the rules must be bound by them, and temples are certainly no exception.

However, Chen Lin had another guess.

Could it be that cat?
