I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2222 Condensing Runes
Chen Lin slowly finished his practice.

I first checked my own situation.

After confirming that everything was normal, he bowed deeply to the red-haired rat, filled with extreme shock.

"Lord Rat King, your methods are superb. I admire you greatly. Please forgive me if I have offended you before."

The other party actually managed to repair the Myriad Manifestations Technique!
The improved technique not only has no bottlenecks, but is even smoother. Future cultivation will no longer be restricted by the temple. If other practitioners of the temple's techniques knew about this, they would surely go crazy for it.

It means more to him.

If we can bring this back to reality, we won't have to worry about the bottleneck problem anymore; otherwise, we might not be able to find a solution in reality.

"Hehe, you're smart."

The red-haired rat held its head high, looking like it was saying, "You little brat, you finally know what's what."

But it returned to normal immediately.

He urged, "Now that you have reached the peak of the Mang Realm, you should consolidate your position quickly. You must advance to the Cage Realm within three years. If you delay too long, things may change."

"I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

Chen Lin adopted the lowest possible stance.

The Myriad Manifestations Technique is not yet fully revised, and he has many other secret techniques that he wants the other party to help him deduce. If he doesn't want to pay a reward, he has to provide some emotional value to the other party.

"Alright, no need to flatter me."

The red-haired mouse rolled its eyes.

He continued, "If you can advance to the Cage Realm within three years, I'll agree to help you once. For every year you shorten the time, I'll add one more time. But if it takes longer than three years, you can forget about it."

"There's no need to revise the subsequent techniques."

Chen Lin's expression froze.

This guy is really unpredictable and hard to please.

But now that he needed the other party's help, he didn't say anything, but instead took out the spiritual flower he had obtained in the Lianyun Mountains.

Deliver it to the other party.

"Lord Rat King, please examine this item and see if there are any unusual traces of it."

This flower was given to him by the angler in the illusion, who said it could increase his chances of advancing to the Cage Realm. However, the angler was acting mysteriously, so he was a little hesitant to use it.

"what?"

The red-haired rat took the spirit flower and let out a surprised exclamation.

I looked at it more carefully.

He clicked his tongue and said, "You're quite lucky, kid. Five-eyed flowers are rare, especially with full eyebrows. Logically speaking, they shouldn't even appear on this screen."

"unusual."

"Definitely not normal."

The more the red-haired mouse talked, the more something seemed off.

Finally, both of them glowed red and stared at Chen Lin, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

The red light in his eyes gradually faded only after he had made Chen Lin feel extremely uneasy.

"What has the Rat King discerned?"

Chen Lin immediately inquired.

The red-haired mouse shook its head.

"I didn't see anything, but having too much luck is definitely not a good thing. The rules of heaven and earth pursue balance. If you gain too many benefits for no reason, you will definitely pay a price."

"I can say with certainty."

It stared at Chen Lin and said, "Before you took on this life mission, the original owner of this body probably never received anything this good from birth to death."

Chen Lin remained silent.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Perhaps it's because I'm exceptionally capable."

"Ah."

The red-haired rat did not refute this.

He nodded and said, "Ability is indeed one aspect, but you've gained far too many benefits."

"The Innate Spiritual Infant, the Colorful Crystal, the Mirror of Longevity, and that treasure in your sleeve, plus the Five-Eyed Flower—any one of these items would be enough to shake the cultivation world and cause many powerful figures to fight over them."

"In short, something's not right. You'd better be careful."

Chen Lin fell silent again.

Not only did he obtain what the other party mentioned, but he also acquired the Hidden Edge Sword Technique, the Nine-Aperture Black Ginseng, the rhombus-shaped crystal of the woman with the phoenix crown, and countless spiritual plants from the Spirit Herb Garden, among other things.

They were incredibly lucky.

Even the backlash from the Luck Enhancement Technique was much weaker.

Think of this.

Chen Lin bowed respectfully, "Does Your Excellency have a way to resolve this?"

"No."

The red-haired rat shook its head repeatedly.

"Your luck couldn't have come recently; it's been ingrained for a long time, and it's impossible to get rid of it now."

"You can try to recall when your luck started to go wrong; perhaps you can deduce some clues."

Chen Lin sighed.

He shook his head and said, "To be honest, senior, I am a cultivator of destiny. It is my nature, and there is no need for deduction."

"A cultivator of destiny?"

The red-haired rat sized up Chen Lin again.

He smacked his lips.

"That's not a good solution. Most people with innate destiny talents die young, and very few can cultivate to a high level. I don't know much about this. You can ask someone from the Daoist sect later."

"But you don't need to worry about it too much."

The red-haired mouse offered words of comfort.

"Think about it, if you hadn't been blessed with good fortune, you wouldn't have achieved what you have today. Just being alive this long is already a blessing. The rest is up to fate."

After saying that, it returned the spirit flower to Chen Lin.

"There's nothing wrong with the flowers. These kinds of spiritual flowers possess mysterious power, which helps with the birth of energy runes and the increase of spirituality. They are especially effective when they reach the five-eyed level. It would be a waste to use them for advancing to the Cage Realm."

Then they urged them again.

"Your cultivation level is high. Once you reach the peak of the Mang Realm, energy runes will be generated. With the help of this item, advancing to the Cage Realm is a sure thing. Don't waste any time. Let's advance so we can get out."

Chen Lin calmed himself down. What the other party said was true; good luck had been a key factor in his success.

So thinking too much is pointless.

Holding the Five-Eyed Flower in his hand, he held his breath, concentrated, and began practicing his cultivation technique.

The so-called "cage" refers to the construction of one's own "domain cage." Only by condensing one's exclusive domain and integrating it with oneself can a transformation occur.

The process was difficult.

The construction of the domain cage is similar to an array, but far more complex and mysterious. It is accomplished using spirit-transforming runes; once a rune is created, it gains the corresponding power of rules.

These runes are called rule runes.

Also known as natal runes or domain runes, they are the symbol of a cultivator's advancement to the Cage Realm.

It can be described as soaring to new heights.

Also.

The higher the level of the cultivation technique, the higher the requirements for the domain, and the more complex the required structure. The Myriad Manifestations Technique encompasses everything, so the profoundness of its domain is unimaginable.

Fortunately, the cultivation method took this into account.

When one reaches the peak of the Mangjing realm, intricate runes will be generated, significantly reducing the difficulty of advancement; otherwise, the success rate would be less than 50%.

The fine runes are considered the 'strokes' of one's natal rune. By fusing these strokes according to the method described in the cultivation technique, one can condense the seed of one's natal rune.

The process of cultivating in the Cage Realm is to continuously improve one's natal runes and strengthen the power of the domain.

I mentally reviewed the contents of the cultivation technique.

Chen Lin gradually got into the zone.

Having already acquired the 'strokes' and with the aid of a childlike heart, although it is still difficult, it is still possible to make progress and not be completely clueless.

One month.

Three months.

Six months later.

The energy in the space surged once more, whipping up bursts of energy storms.

The red-haired mouse, which had been pretending to sleep with its eyes closed, immediately jumped up.

He opened his mouth and spat out a small, snow-white bottle. He then shook the bottle's mouth towards the crack above, which emitted a blinding white light.

The light fell on the crack.

Instantly, it transformed into countless fine runes, forming a protective shield that sealed off all the cracks, preventing the energy released by Chen Lin from leaking out and causing trouble.

But I'm still not at ease.

Then his gaze fell on Chen Lin.

He said in a deep voice, "Don't you have the Transformation Pearl? There's no need to keep it for anything now. If you bring in the Heavenly Tribulation, neither of us will be in a good place."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately took out the last Transformation Pearl.

He swallowed it whole.

The Transformation Pearl is an object that can resolve rules. It can not only eliminate the restrictions of rules in cultivation techniques, but also resolve the heavenly tribulations caused by the rules.

However, this Transformation Pearl is not of a very high grade, and it is unknown whether it will be effective against the Heavenly Tribulation of the Cage Realm.

But Chen Lin had no time to spare for anything else.

With limited time, he immediately focused his consciousness into his body to make a final breakthrough.

In an illusory space.

Nine small orbs of light drifted back and forth, each one incredibly mysterious, with countless intricate characters flashing within them and constantly changing shape.

They attract and repel each other at times, seemingly chaotic yet governed by a certain pattern.

This is a structure formed by countless 'strokes'.

Now to do.

It means to bring these nine structures together simultaneously, following the guidance of the cultivation method.

They undergo an instantaneous transformation, forming rune seeds.

Chen Lin was extremely solemn.

This process is the most important; if there is the slightest mistake, not only will all the previous efforts be in vain, but you will also suffer the backlash from the rules.

But the difficulty is indeed too great.

Even in the state of pure innocence, it is still impossible to fully calculate the structural changes within the light cluster. Moreover, the light cluster is not easy to control. There is no guarantee that one can find the points of convergence of the nine structures and manipulate them to merge together instantly.

Time passes gradually.

The ball of light began to dim, but its undulating rhythm grew stronger.

It seemed to be spiraling out of control.

Chen Lin knew he couldn't wait any longer.

Left with no other option, he had to settle for second best, abandoning one structure and trying to calculate all the variations of the remaining eight structures.

I finally managed to do it.

And to some extent, one can be distracted by observing the last structure, but cannot fully grasp it.

It won't last long either.

Therefore, a bit of luck is needed for a successful fusion.

"I hope my luck will continue to be good."

Seeing that the ball of light was becoming increasingly unstable, Chen Lin dared not hesitate any longer. He made up his mind and activated his magic technique to control all the balls of light to move closer together.

Then seize the opportunity and merge them into one in an instant!
A brilliant light shone brightly in the illusory space.

The runes of the nine orbs of light intertwined, producing strange changes, as if drawn by some force, with each stroke precisely finding its companion in the 'vast sea of ​​people'.

Then, in an indescribable way, they merge together, becoming new strokes with a more spiritual quality.

This process continues indefinitely.

The number of strokes decreases, while the spirituality increases.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin was overjoyed.

The scene before me matches the description of the technique, so it seems I have succeeded. The power of the Chosen One is once again on display.

No matter what the cost may be in the future, as long as his current crisis can be resolved, that's enough.

The light clusters are changing faster and faster.

In the blink of an eye, the outline of a huge rune began to emerge, emanating a mysterious and profound feeling that made Chen Lin feel comfortable all over, and his aura continued to rise.
