I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2200 Phoenix Crown
Chen Lin did not communicate with anyone again.

The team sped along the mountain path, carefully memorizing the terrain of the places they passed.

If something really happens in the secret place, then after coming out, there will probably be no one to guide you. This route is relatively safe, and you can also return this way.

"arrive!"

Half a day later, Yu Yuanqi stopped and stood at the entrance of a valley.

Chen Lin used his Heavenly Eye to its fullest extent and discovered that the valley was shrouded in black mist, giving it a sinister and terrifying feel.

However, once you close your eyes, you can't see anything but pitch black; this is due to the darkness itself.

He was secretly amazed.

The ability to open one's eyes in the heavens truly brought him surprises at every turn.

Especially after arriving in this realm, its mystery is further highlighted. Even internal energy and celestial energy cannot be used, but this supernatural power can still be used. Although it is suppressed, it is enough to show its extraordinary nature.

The key is.

This supernatural power can condense a seed of supernatural power and pass it on to others for use.

This is something that cannot be compared to ordinary supernatural powers.

Unfortunately, after Ji Yueqing disappeared into the abyss, there was no further news of her. It is estimated that she has perished, and the origin of this supernatural power cannot be found out.

Put away distracting thoughts.

Chen Lin's gaze fell on Yu Yuanqi, awaiting his instructions.

"Everyone."

Yu Yuanqi's voice rang out.

"This valley is the entrance to the Linglong Sect ruins, but it contains a killing formation that even those at the Wheel Realm cannot resist. Everyone must stay at least three zhang away from me, otherwise, if they are affected by the killing formation, I will be unable to save them."

Done.

He touched his wrist and took out a rectangular object, about the size of his palm, which looked like a token.

However, Chen Lin's attention was focused on the other person's wrist.

There was a small black gourd there, about an inch long, wrapped with a thin black chain. The token we just took out was from this thing.

It is clear.

This is a storage container.

It might even be a treasure from a hidden cave!
Chen Lin's eyes flickered for a moment, then he looked away.

Despite its extremely high energy level, this task interface contains very few storage items, most of which are produced by temples. The fact that Yu Yuanqi possesses such a treasure and dares to use it openly demonstrates his absolute confidence.

Yu Yuanqi ignored everyone's attention.

He channeled his magic power to activate the token in his hand.

The token immediately emitted a faint light, exactly covering an area of ​​three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

"You come with me."

Just as Chen Lin was about to move closer to the center, he heard Zhao Xining's voice.

The other person didn't look at him, and without any sign of anything amiss, walked to Yu Yuanqi's right side on their own.

Han Chengye was also in that direction.

No need to ask.

The other party probably intends to use the killing formation here to kill people.

Chen Lin frowned.

Such actions are not advisable. Not to mention the contract that prohibits members of the team from attacking each other, even without a contract, Yu Yuanqi would not stand idly by if someone were to act rashly.

But after thinking about it, he still went over.

He hadn't yet uncovered the secrets of the Linglong Sect, so he couldn't afford to offend them for the time being. Besides, he also wanted to know who their other two accomplices were.

"Follow closely!"

Yu Yuanqi gave the instructions in a low voice, then walked into the valley with the token in his hand.

Everyone followed.

As Chen Lin walked, he observed his surroundings.

There were about ten people to the right of Yu Yuanqi, and the Cage Realm expert guarding the outer perimeter was Jian Wu.

That's why he was willing to come closer.

Although Jian Wu never interacted with him again, he had taught him a sword technique, so he was practically a master. Even if he didn't help him, he wouldn't attack him.

Except for Jian Wu.

Another formidable one is the Golden Broadsword.

This fat woman was covered in fat, and her body jiggled like waves when she walked. It's not easy to eat like that in these days of extreme food scarcity.

Or perhaps they practiced a special technique.

But this person is probably not Zhao Xining's accomplice.

Because the other party had been subtly following He Erniang all the way, it felt like He Erniang's bodyguard.

Apart from this person and Han Chengye, the rest were all ordinary people from the Mangjing realm, and there was no one worth paying attention to.

I didn't see anything amiss.

Chen Lin stopped paying attention and quietly followed the group forward.

He didn't look at Han Chengye at all, so as not to arouse suspicion and make him the first target of attack.

He didn't want to become a expendable weapon for the enemy's crossbows.

Whether he hadn't found an opportunity or had other plans, Zhao Xining hadn't made a move even after walking for almost half an hour.

In Tiankai's vision, the black mist gradually faded until it completely dissipated.

Then a pool of water appeared.

Yu Yuanqi stopped in his tracks, but remained silent, standing still.

The others looked at each other.

However, having grown accustomed to each other's manner of doing things along the way, no one asked any questions. Everyone just stared blankly at the pool like puppets.

Chen Lin naturally wouldn't be the first to stick his neck out.

Look at your nose with your eyes, and look at your mouth with your nose.

He pondered the possible situations that might arise in the secret realm and how to deal with them, while also having Tie Zhu sense the situation of everyone else.

We waited for most of the day.

"All right."

Yu Yuanqi finally spoke.

Looking at the pool in front of him, he said, "Go down into this pool and you'll reach the ruins of the Linglong Sect. But the landing point isn't fixed. We'll meet at the top of the highest peak in the center in nine days. Remember, don't delay, or you won't be able to get out. Don't blame me."

"in addition."

Yu Yuanqi turned around and glanced at everyone.

The voice was cold and sharp.

"I need to obtain at least one of the items specified in the contract before I can activate the passage to leave the ruins. So please don't slack off and just focus on finding what you need. Otherwise, we'll all die inside when the time comes!"

When this statement came out, everyone was lost.

Immediately, a burly man in the late stage of the Mang Realm spoke up.

"Sir, you didn't mention this restriction before. Isn't it a breach of the contract to bring it up now?"

"good."

Yu Yuanqi glanced at the burly man.

He said coldly, "It does not conform to the contract. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can stay here and wait for us to come out. The reward you promised will still stand."

The burly man's expression froze.

He opened his mouth several times, but still didn't dare to say anything more.

Staying here is worse than going inside.

Without Yu Yuanqi's guidance, he would have no way to escape the killing formation by the same route. If the enemy didn't come out this way, he would surely die.

Chen Lin narrowed his eyes.

Judging from Yu Yuanqi's attitude, Zhao Xining is probably right. The effect of the contract scroll is suppressed by the rules of this place. Even if the other party cannot completely ignore the contract, they can still break through the constraints to a certain extent.

Because I carefully read the contract and noted all the possible scenarios, the other party clearly breached the contract but was not punished.

If so.

Zhao Xining's other statements are also true.

In order to keep the secret of obtaining the treasure, Yu Yuanqi will definitely try his best to kill them inside.

Chen Lin looked at Jian Wu.

The other person remained expressionless, revealing nothing of their thoughts, and did not utter any questions.

They probably already knew about it.

And Xue Kaishan also had a calm expression.

The other party is a retainer of the Prince's Palace and is on the same side as Yu Yuanqi. They must have known the truth long ago, and they may not even have signed the contract.

Chen Lin didn't look at anyone else.

Anyway, when he signed the contract, the power of the contract was forced back by the Soul Master's aura, so it didn't affect him. He'll decide what to do after he goes in and sees how things go. If all else fails, he'll use the spatial talisman the blue alien gave him to forcibly break through the secret realm.

With a Dominator-level talisman and his spatial teleportation ability, he should be able to do it.

While thinking.

Yu Yuanqi drew the token in his hand across the pool.

A beam of light flashed, splitting the water in two and revealing a deep passage.

"Those who want to go in, follow me!"

Without offering any explanation or persuasion, Yu Yuanqi gave a shout and, with He Erniang in tow, leaped into the passage.

Xue Kaishan followed closely behind.

Next up was Han Chengye, who even gave Zhao Xining a cold smile before falling into the passage.

Chen Lin discovered it.

Zhao Xining's face was extremely ugly.

He also noticed that a man in black slightly behind Zhao Xining had raised his hand as if to launch an attack, but he withdrew his hand after Han Chengye took off first.

This person is probably one of Zhao Xining's accomplices.

Having memorized the appearance of the man in black, Chen Lin didn't wait any longer and followed Han Chengye, leaping into the pool.

He cast a Soul Armor spell and told Tie Zhu to be on guard before letting his body fall through the passage.

After a few breaths, Chen Lin felt his body lighten and landed on the ground.

I first checked the surroundings.

It felt like being in a ruin, with broken bricks and tiles underfoot and large bluestones beside me.

But it's even darker here than outside, and the dark energy is much stronger.

Chen Lin activated his Heavenly Eye to its fullest extent and finally saw the surrounding environment clearly. It was indeed a dilapidated building, and the area was quite large.

Have you discovered anything?

Chen Lin questioned Tie Zhu.

"No, but there seems to be some rather peculiar energy fluctuations in the distance to our left. I wonder if it might be some kind of treasure."

"Left side?"

Chen Lin looked into the distance.

But all I could see was darkness, and I couldn't see anything.

His level was lower than Tetiezhu's, and his perception was limited, so he didn't sense any fluctuations.

Can you determine the distance?

Chen Lin asked again.

"No, the energy here is strange, and my abilities are suppressed so I can't pinpoint the exact location. Dad, you shouldn't go there yet. What if it's not a treasure but a monster? That would be dangerous."

Having spent a long time by Chen Lin's side, Tie Zhu gradually became more cautious.

"Alright."

Chen Lin nodded.

While continuing to examine the items in the ruins, he also checked his own energy levels.

It was quickly determined that all available methods could be used outside, but the suppression was even more severe. The only things less affected were the Soul Master's aura and the Spirit Empowerment Realm.

The Soul-Destroying Finger technique is also acceptable.

This put Chen Lin at ease.

He is suppressed, as are others, but he possesses the Spirit Empowerment Realm, which gives him an advantage in battle and is very beneficial to him.

"what?"

Just as he turned his attention to his surroundings, Chen Lin caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye.

He drew his short knife and pried open a piece of bluestone.

There was nothing on the ground.

However, in a recessed area, there seemed to be a small blue dot that looked like it was glowing.

Chen Lin did not act rashly.

After examining the area closely with Tie Zhu and confirming that there were no problems, he used his short knife to dig into the surrounding ground.

gradually.

The shape of an object is revealed.

"Phoenix Crown!"

Chen Lin's eyes lit up when he saw the item in front of him.

Although the design was different from the phoenix crowns he had seen before, it was clearly the outline of a phoenix crown, and the size was just right for a human woman to wear.

Chen Lin gently brushed away the soil, and the true appearance of the phoenix crown became clearer and clearer.

The entire piece is gold, inlaid with countless gemstones of various colors, forming a pattern of unclear meaning. It looks like a phoenix, but there are significant differences.

"It's so beautiful! Daddy's struck gold! But I have so many concubines, who are you going to give it to?"

Tie Zhu exclaimed in admiration.

And questions were raised.

"I won't give it to anyone else, I'll wear it myself."

Chen Lin retorted.

"Shh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phoenix crown flashed and disappeared into thin air.

Chen Lin was startled.

Instinctively, he leaped backward.

Then he looked around, searching for traces of the phoenix crown.

Tie Zhu also sprang up from his wrist, surrounding Chen Lin to protect him while maximizing his perception.

But I didn't sense anything.

"It seems they've run away."

Tie Zhu flew around once and then shared his opinion.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Lin felt a weight on his head, then his body began to twist, and his soul trembled.

He was shocked.

Immediately mobilize the fire power of the iron pillar to temper himself and eliminate the abnormal state.

This feeling was familiar to him.

It was exactly the same as when I was corrupted by the power of Asura in the Tianxuan Realm, only it was many times stronger, and it not only affected my body, but also my soul and mental will.

If not controlled in time, you will be turned into a monster.

The fire burned brightly.

However, it did not stop the physical changes; it only slowed down the process slightly.

In that short time, his physical appearance had changed; his chest was now prominent, his waist was slender, and his skin was much fairer.

"Daddy, you're going to become a woman!"

Tie Zhu cried out in shock.

Chen Lin's face also looked grim; he was indeed transforming into a woman.

You can deduce a thing or two without much thought.

That phoenix crown is a high-level treasure; anyone who wears it will become a woman, or rather, it's something designed for women.

It bears a striking resemblance to the Blood Hand Fear scene in the Nightmare Realm.

Unaware of the situation, he told Tie Zhu that he wanted to wear it himself, and it ended up on his head.

In this case.

Perhaps there won't be any danger to his life; it'll just turn him into a woman, and he might even gain great power.

It's not a bad thing.

"wrong!"

Chen Lin was startled.

This thing changes not only the body and soul, but also the mind.

Surprisingly, it made him think that being a woman was also a good thing.

No no no.

Chen Lin quickly regained her composure, silently reciting "I don't want to be a woman," and then rapidly devised a solution.

In fact, for high-level cultivators, gender is no longer a concern. Many male cultivators will voluntarily become women, and some female cultivators will become men. There are even those who like to become alien races or demonic beasts.

But he can't.

He still has so many Daoist partners waiting for him; if he becomes a woman, wouldn't he be becoming sisters?
The physical changes are becoming more and more obvious.

The phoenix crown on her head radiated a dazzling light.

Then Chen Lin discovered that an invisible aura was generated within his body, giving him an instant sense of superiority, as if he were looking down upon all living beings, and granting him unparalleled power!
