I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2246 Fusion
I do not know how long it has been.

As the rune sprites devoured them, the inner stars extinguished one by one.

Without the support of the inner planet, this space, which existed between illusion and reality, slowly crumbled.

It's like it never happened.

Chen Lin felt somewhat disappointed.

Thousands of years of effort vanished in an instant; the bitterness of such a situation is beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

But he doesn't regret it; he would do it again if given the chance.

Everyone's energy is limited, and it is impossible for him to control all means. Over the years, apart from the Law of Destiny, everything else in the inner planet is still at a low level within the boundary river.

Even the laws of fate.

They have never been able to advance to a higher dimension.

Next, he will focus on destiny, since it is his innate ability. As for the others, he can rely on the Myriad Manifestations Technique to evolve them. As long as the Myriad Manifestations Technique exists, these abilities can still be used.

But Chen Lin knew.

There is a premise.

That is, to complete one's life mission and receive at least a good evaluation; only then will what one is doing now have meaning.

If the Myriad Manifestations Technique cannot be solidified, all efforts will be in vain, and experience and memory will be erased.

If the evaluation is very low.

You'll need to rely on your innate rune; if the rune's level can suppress the ferry rules, you can keep the harvest.

We'll know the specifics when the time comes.

After dealing with the inner star and the true fire of the sun, the abnormal energy also disappeared, and his natal rune was no longer affected. Chen Lin immediately felt the pressure ease.

Since his natal rune could not unleash its full power, he dared not venture out and could only remain holed up in the underground treasure vault.

At the slightest sign of trouble, they would immediately disappear into the tower.

Let out a breath.

Chen Lin immediately checked his physical condition.

It was discovered soon after.

After the inner star was devoured, the other six laws were barely perceptible, but the innate talent of the individual could be clearly sensed.

It is closely linked to one's natal rune.

Chen Lin examined the Life Pill internally and saw that it was shimmering with light, and that fine runes were emerging from within, emanating a faint sense of higher-dimensional rules.

The power of destiny has advanced!

Unexpectedly, this desperate move had such a positive effect. Chen Lin was overjoyed. After thinking for a moment, he had an idea and tried to fuse the Life Pill and the Natal Rune.

There is only one way to improve one's talent.

The Mortal World Destiny Inquiry Technique has a low level, and destiny-related treasures are hard to find. If it can be incorporated into one's natal rune, it can be upgraded along with the Myriad Manifestations Technique.

Although this will slow down the advancement speed of the Myriad Manifestations Technique, in the long run, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

Full of anticipation.

Chen Lin focused intently on the outcome of the integration.

Perceiving.

As the natal rune enveloped the life-giving pill, the pill began to dissolve little by little, and the fine runes inside dispersed, flickering like fireflies.

At last.

The pure essence of light and chemistry, guided by the natal rune, entered the dantian space.

Completely integrated.

"That's really impressive!"

Chen Lin was both surprised and delighted.

He was just trying it out, since he was in the mission space anyway, and even if he failed and suffered a backlash, he could choose not to be fixed when he left.

Unexpectedly, it succeeded.

However, a successful integration does not necessarily mean it is a good thing; further verification is still needed.

Chen Lin activated his innate ability, and immediately a portion of the runes in his natal runes began to fluctuate.

His expression shifted.

Recalling the rune sequence in the Life Core, he activated his natal rune. As his thoughts changed, some of the fine runes lit up and rearranged into 'Destiny Runes'.

The feeling of having one's innate abilities activated instantly emerged.

Sure enough!

Chen Lin's spirits lifted.

Directly open the realm of destiny and enter it.

What surprised him even more was what happened next.

This time, when entering the realm of destiny, there's no need to transform into the Fish of Destiny; you can use your true form directly, which has the same effect as using the Elf Queen's Tears!
This change brought Chen Lin to a great delight.

This way.

They don't even need to cultivate secret techniques to resist the erosion of rules; they can move freely in the River of Destiny and, after returning to reality, can enter the Star Ruins at any time through the River of Destiny.

He hesitated a little.

Chen Lin then moved to the point where the domain met the River of Destiny. He planned to try entering the River of Destiny from here and see what would happen.

If you can circumvent the ferry rules and leave this area directly, you'll have a way out.

But immediately.

He shook his head secretly.

There is an invisible barrier at the node, which cannot be broken even with the Blue Rose.

Other methods are even less effective.

However, Chen Lin felt that it wasn't that his natal rune level was insufficient, but rather that his cultivation level was too low to unleash the true power of the rune.

Also.

The Blue Enchantress is a single color combination, far from reaching the strength of the Nine-Layer Armor.

If one could raise their cultivation level to the Wheel Realm.

Alternatively, it's not impossible to break through by condensing a more powerful offensive rune sequence.

I studied it for a while.

Chen Lin returned to reality.

The realm of destiny is not invisible. If there are powerful beings present, they can easily detect energy fluctuations and one cannot linger in dangerous areas for long.

then.

Chen Lin then attempted to condense rune sequences of other laws.

But none of them succeeded.

Nevertheless, the condensation of the Destiny Runes opened up new avenues of thought for him, giving him a clearer goal for his future cultivation and a deeper understanding of the advanced cultivation system.

Once a high-level cultivator reaches a certain level, their main focus becomes improving rule runes.

Ultimately, the 'Dao Seal' is condensed, achieving the Great Perfection of the Sovereign.

As for the so-called Primordial Realm, Chen Lin knew nothing about it. Although he had the Primordial Monument, he had not been able to complete the inheritance due to insufficient soul strength.

Moreover, according to the information he obtained, there seemed to be no primordial powerhouses in the entire Star Ruins.

If so.

Then he can only be a shadow scholar.

Also.

Normal cultivators have a single attribute for their natal rune, and their cultivation techniques are only compatible with that rune.

A technique like the Myriad Manifestations Technique, which encompasses everything and can be applied to all rules and runes, is probably rare, which is why Chen Lin attaches such importance to it.

With this technique, he would no longer be limited to a single path and would be able to choose freely.

Of course.

Even if he could encompass everything, he couldn't cultivate them all. He still had to choose two or three as his main cultivations, and absolutely no more than three. The rest could be used as supernatural powers.

Calm your mind.

Chen Lin activated the runes again, then stretched out his finger, and a flame appeared at his fingertip.

He nodded slightly.

The True Fire of the Sun possesses high-dimensional characteristics. After being corrupted by the advanced rule power of the red-clad boy, its power was enhanced, but it did not reach the point of forming a rune sequence.

It's just a little bit short.

Then Chen Lin tested the power of space and the power of destiny, and confirmed that they could be activated. They were not destroyed by the disappearance of the inner star, but the energy source changed from the inner star to the natal rune.

But the effect was very weak.

It corresponds to a single, intricate rune, and its power is almost negligible in this high-dimensional space.

Even so.

Chen Lin was also very happy.

Before this, the laws of the inner planet could not be used in higher-dimensional spaces, but now they can be considered to have higher-dimensional characteristics.

I checked everything.

Only then did Chen Lin focus his attention on the Myriad Manifestations Technique itself.

His cultivation level has broken through the fourth level, entering the mid-stage of the Cage Realm, and his overall strength has increased significantly.

"It's true what they say, a horse won't get fat without night grass!" Chen Lin sighed softly.

His rapid breakthrough was entirely due to the Blood Banner, but it was forged from the essence of millions of high-dimensional beings. Using this item would undoubtedly incur immense karmic consequences.

The path of cultivation from now on is likely to be difficult.

But even so.

He only managed to raise his cultivation level to the mid-stage.

Based on this level of energy expenditure, it's unlikely that I can advance to the late stage of the Cage Realm during this mission. To improve my strength, I'll need to find another way.

"Does it really mean we need to release the soul?"

Chen Lin frowned.

He truly didn't want to take this step.

Moreover, after his talent improved, he had a feeling that it would be extremely dangerous to perform the soul-dissolving ritual here.

There was no sign of life.

unless.

Learn the Double-Headed Rune Blade Spirit Platform Severing Technique.

However, this secret method is also very profound and cannot be mastered overnight. It also requires consideration of the constraints of the ferry rules. After the spiritual platform is split in two, can one still be considered a person who has experienced life?

The subsequent impact will be significant.

Chen Lin rubbed his temples, pondering what else he might have that could quickly boost his strength so he could deal with the boy in red.

He doesn't care about any faction conflict.

Once you obtain the Dawn Stone and restore light to the world, the mission will be complete, and you can return to reality.

But after thinking it over and over...

Aside from his natal rune, there seemed to be no way to deal with the boy in red. Even his natal rune was ineffective. The Nine-Layer Armor could provide defense, but it lacked powerful offensive capabilities.

Chen Lin probed his soul into the storage bag.

Then he checked the belt space and the package, and even inspected the Fruit Pit Cave.

Finally, I took out a few items.

A mirror of immortality, a wordless book of heaven, a needle, and a peach.

In terms of level, only these four items can rival that of the boy in red.

First, pick up the Longevity Mirror.

This item itself does not possess any offensive power, but it can increase one's lifespan, making it a truly magical treasure.

pity.

He doesn't know the secret techniques of longevity, so he can't turn the power of this treasure into an offensive method.

It can be used on the soul, though.

Without the ability to exorcise the soul, it's unknown whether his soul level is the same as the red-clad boy's. If the boy's level is higher, he'll be the one to die.

Furthermore.

The boy in red has been in the secret realm all along, and it's unlikely he's done anything heinous, so the self-sacrifice technique might not be effective.

Put down the mirror.

Chen Lin picked up the blank book again.

The tower in the secret realm is suspected to have been built by the Shadow Scholar. If so, then the level seven spiritual plant may also have been left by him, and this book may serve as a token.

You can give this a try.

Chen Lin opened the book, glanced at it, and then closed it again.

The book has not yet yielded any clues, and if it is not a token, it will be of little use.

"Just who are you?"

Chen Lin held the peach in his hand and gently stroked the tip of the peach.

Suddenly.

The entire peach turned bright red, as if it were fully ripe.

"Your master is in trouble. If you are capable, please don't just watch the show. I've always treated you well."

As Chen Lin spoke, he observed the peaches, but apart from turning bright red, there were no other changes.

He shook his head.

Put the peach down, and finally pick up the crystal needle.

Although he took out four items, this was the one he was most looking forward to. The illusory figure could be struck by the rules of this world, so it must have come from a higher plane, and the treasure it left behind must be extraordinary.

I rotated the crystal needle twice.

Chen Lin activated his natal rune, attempting to infuse it into the rune.

His eyes immediately lit up.

After the runic power was injected this time, the changes became obvious. In addition to the needle tip becoming sharper, the needle body also emitted a faint fluorescence.

And getting brighter and brighter.

See this.

Chen Lin immediately increased the intensity, and fine runes poured into the crystal needle like a torrent.

The crystal needle grew brighter and brighter, and then began to emit a soft tinkling sound.

A dozen or so breaths passed.

Just as the power of the runes was about to be exhausted, the crystal needle finally 'ate its fill' and developed a mysterious connection with Chen Lin.

It floated up out of thin air.

Chen Lin took out a divine weapon he had obtained from the King of Zhenshan.

Throw it in the corner.

Then a thought occurred to him.

"go with!"

As Chen Lin spoke, the crystal needle flashed and disappeared.

next moment.

A tiny hole appeared on the divine weapon. Before he could observe it, the divine weapon began to rapidly dissipate, centered on the hole, and instantly turned into nothingness.

Chen Lin was taken aback.

Then his eyes shone with dazzling brilliance.

This divine weapon was one of the highest-grade divine weapons among the relics of the Mountain-Suppressing King, yet it was defeated so easily. The power of the crystal needle was beyond his imagination.

However, the consumption is also staggering.

If I activate it this time and use up all the power of the runes, it will probably take half a day to recover naturally. Even if I use items like the variegated crystal, I won't be able to recover immediately.

It can only be used as a trump card, not as a regular treasure.

Next.

While pondering his recent plans, Chen Lin activated the Myriad Manifestations Technique to restore his natal runes.

"Report!"

With the rune energy fully restored, Chen Lin was about to conduct further experiments when a guard's urgent voice suddenly rang out from outside.

"Come in."

He gave the order.

After the guards entered, they asked, "What's the matter that has caused such a panic?"

"Your Majesty, monsters are attacking. Sect Master Feng is fighting them off and has sent someone to request Your Majesty's assistance."

"monster?"

Chen Lin's expression changed slightly.

Anyone who could make even the wind and snow call for help must be extremely powerful. He couldn't help but wonder if that long-haired monster had returned.

Do you know the monster's form?

After Chen Lin put all the items away, he asked.

The guard couldn't give a proper answer, so he could only quickly leave the treasury and go out to check it himself.

It's a good opportunity to test the power of the crystal needles.

"Elder Yan, be careful! This monster is extremely strange. No method can harm it, and it is quick-witted. Do not be careless!"

As soon as we arrived outside the city, the sound of wind and snow reached our ears.

Followed by.

An extremely sinister aura enveloped him, followed by a dense burst of flashing light that caused his nine-layered armor to sway violently, indicating that he had been attacked!

Chen Lin immediately became alert.

While maintaining the stability of the Ninefold Armor, he looked at a hazy, indistinct figure not far away.

It wasn't that disheveled monster, but a large black bear.

The black fur that had just attacked him was now turning into a stream of light and returning to his body.

But none of that matters.

To Chen Lin's astonishment, the black bear's appearance gave him a sense of déjà vu.

It seems like it was a long time ago, when I met the black bear magistrate in the Nightmare Realm!
