I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2252 True Peach

Upon hearing what the red-haired rat said, Chen Lin did not hesitate at all.

He immediately activated his natal rune, opened the Fruit Core Cave, and took out the peach. In this life-or-death situation, he had to try it, regardless of whether it was useful or not.

"The real peach!"

As soon as the peach appeared, the black cat cried out in surprise.

Followed by.

The black bull looking down from above was startled. Its two giant eyes stared at the peach for a while, as if it had sensed something. It retreated little by little, as if it was about to give up on devouring Chen Lin and the others.

"Don't let it get away!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin immediately spoke to Taozi.

Although he didn't know what was so special about the peach, the fact that it could make Ruzi Niu wary meant that it had the ability to restrain the other party.

If the other party leaves the secret realm, it will be difficult to deal with them again, which would be extremely detrimental to his completion of the mission.

Because the opponent grows by devouring the Dawn Stones, and since he took the Dawn Stones from Sunset Lake, he might devour the current sun after he leaves.

After giving the instructions.

Chen Lin observed the peach's reaction while absorbing the energy of the variegated crystal to accelerate his body's recovery.

The peach trembled slightly.

Then a semi-transparent character flew out from the tip of the peach. It had a very simple structure and no strange omens.

But this character appears.

Including Chen Lin, all four beings present felt a sense of insignificance, of being like mayflies before the blue sky, of being humble, insignificant, unfathomable, and beyond comprehension.

However, releasing this character seems to be quite difficult for Peach as well.

It trembled continuously.

The peach shriveled at a visible rate, and its vitality rapidly diminished.

"There's no need to force it!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin immediately spoke up to stop him.

Although he wanted to destroy Ruzi Niu, he didn't want Taozi to die from exhaustion of her essence. He brought her in to find a way for her to survive and return to being his maid, Hongchen.

Don't let them kill you instead.

Most importantly, if this thing dies because of him, the consequences will be very serious. Even the black cat and the red-haired rat are so wary of it, so he certainly won't be able to handle what the other party represents.

However, the peaches did not stop.

between breaths.

Its once plump body is now reduced to just a core wrapped in a thin skin.

The characters then become clear.

A gentle flash.

Between the two horns of the ox, the same character appeared, and then its huge body quickly withered, and its rainbow tail also shrank.

The peaches, however, became plump again.

"boom!"

When the rainbow was only a few dozen feet long, the peach stopped absorbing the fruit, letting the cow, which had shrunk countless times, fall to the ground.

"Moo..."

The ox was not yet dead, but it was too weak to stand up and let out a terrified moan.

Chen Lin swallowed.

Fortunately, he never intended to eat the peach, otherwise it would have become the opponent's food. Although the character structure released by the opponent was simple, its power was ridiculously strong.

"Master...eat beef..."

Having absorbed the energy of the hardworking ox, the peach seemed to have grown quite a bit, even developing some patterns, like human facial features, and was able to make simple sounds.

"Owner?"

Before Chen Lin could react, the black cat jerked and struggled to its feet.

I looked at the peaches.

Then he looked at Chen Lin.

It was as if I saw something incredible.

"is there a problem?"

Chen Lin immediately inquired.

"do not know."

The black cat shook its head repeatedly.

Without waiting for Chen Lin to ask any further questions, she slowly backed away, giving him the impression that he shouldn't ask her anymore.

Chen Lin then looked at the red-haired rat.

The red-haired rat twitched its whiskers, seemingly unwilling to answer.

However, after glancing at Peach beside him, he still braced himself and said, "The True Destiny Peach Clan is a primordial race, and together with the Mochigan Clan and the Snail Clan, they are known as the three great holy clans."

"but."

"The True Destiny Peach Clan and the Snail Joy Clan generally live in seclusion, so the lower dimensions don't know much about them, and they aren't as famous as the Mochigan Clan."

"That's it."

Chen Lin looked enlightened.

He reached out and grabbed the peach, then used his soul perception to examine it.

But it's still the same.

There's nothing unusual about it.

"There's no doubt that the True Destiny Peach has a very unique aura, but it's difficult to sense without a Dominator-level perception. If you want to confirm, you can infuse it with your natal rune. Since it recognizes you as its master, it shouldn't resist."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin lifted the peach up.

He touched it and asked, "Is it okay?"

The peach immediately blushed.

It moved slightly.

See this.

Chen Lin activated the runes, attempting to integrate them into the system.

Immediately, he felt a tremor in his sea of ​​consciousness, and a character the size of a fist appeared out of thin air, which was the one that the other party had just released.

But now he can understand the meaning of the characters.

"Life!"

This is the character "命" (fate/destiny), which doesn't belong to any language system he's ever learned before. It gives off a very... lofty and superior feeling. Even though it's just a character, it makes him feel like an ant.

immediately.

The characters slowly disappeared.

Chen Lin's consciousness returned to reality.

He took a deep breath and asked, "Does the True Destiny Peach Clan have some super strong expert? Why are you so shocked to hear that it has recognized me as its master?"

"hey-hey."

The red-haired mouse gave a dry laugh.

"Not only the True Destiny Peach Clan, but all three great holy clans have primordial powerhouses in charge. Even high-level rulers dare not enslave their people. Those who have done so have suffered unimaginable punishments."

"That's worse than death."

"Especially the True Destiny Peach Clan, the methods of the Peach Ancestor, hehehe..."

Red-haired Rat glanced at Chen Lin but didn't say anything more.

Chen Lin's eyelids twitched.

Then, he asked suspiciously, "If that's the case, why did you ask for this peach in the first place? Could it be that Lord Rat King was able to evade the Peach Ancestor's detection?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The red-haired mouse was startled.

He immediately cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Peach Fairy, saying, "Peach Fairy, please don't misunderstand. I want to take you away as an offering, and I'm only asking for a drop of True Fate Elixir."

"Meow."

The black cat glanced over from the side.

He interrupted the conversation, saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore. If we don't take action soon, that ox will recover. If you don't want it, I can collect it for you."

"I'll do it myself."

Chen Lin put aside the matter of the True Destiny Peach Clan and got up to go to Ruzi Niu's side.

A flick of the wrist.

Countless runes flew out, transforming into a chain that coiled around the rainbow tail behind it and wrapped around the bull's body.

"Buzz!"

The rainbow shone brightly, enveloping the body of the ox.

Then, under Chen Lin's watchful gaze, it gradually shrank and writhed, eventually transforming into a spiritual plant the size of an infant's arm.

The trunk is jet black and shaped like an ox.

The rhizome branches out into two branches, which look like cow horns.

At the top grows a seven-colored flower.

Chen Lin looked at the seven-colored flower that exuded a mysterious aura, and his eyes flashed. This flower was extremely similar to the rainbow flower in both shape and color.

Moreover, this flower appears as soon as it appears.

His natal rune began to fluctuate, as if the inner star within it was about to be relit.

"Ugh!"

A sigh brought Chen Lin back to his senses.

The black cat said speechlessly, "Alright, after all this scheming, it's all for nothing. Fate cultivators are really annoying. Now that you've taken the treasure, I don't ask for anything else, just that you treat my son better in the future."

The red-haired rat didn't seem to care.

It was only here to join the fun, and its hopes of obtaining the treasure were slim anyway, so it wasn't too disappointed. "Senior, do you need this?"

Chen Lin took the spirit flower into his hand and looked at the black cat, asking a question.

The black cat shook its head.

“Spiritual plants of this level possess extremely strong power of rules. Only the recipient can use them. Even if others obtain them, they can only watch helplessly.”

Done.

It glanced at the peach again.

He urged Chen Lin, "Let's leave quickly. The Ruzi Niu and Xi Shi have been taken away, and the Divine Tower Panlong Formation has been broken. The secret realm probably won't last much longer. Let's get out first."

"Wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin put away the ox.

Then it took off.

After searching the secret realm, they did not see Li Fuyao and Chunjiu, and Wen Ruyu was nowhere to be found either.

So they didn't delay any longer.

After collecting all the spoils they could, they led the group of cultivators back to Yuming City.

One in and one out.

Although it didn't take long, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

Yuming City has been reduced to ruins, and there are very few survivors.

But Chen Lin didn't care about any of that.

After entrusting all matters within the city to Bai Qingshui and others, he rested for a while and then invited the black cat to soar into the sky together, breaking through layers of black mist, and arriving near the polluted sun.

"Take it out."

The black cat gazed at the rolling black sun and spoke to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin put away the runes on the Mountain-Suppressing King Seal, and the seal platform shattered with a crack, bursting out a dazzling light. The scorching aura ignited the void, engulfing the man and the cat in a sea of ​​fire.

But it cannot harm them.

So it is.

Chen Lin asked with some concern, "The energy left in the Dawn Stone is not much, and I'm afraid it won't be able to dispel the dark rules in the sun. Should we act now, or collect some similar energy crystals first?"

The black cat pondered for a moment.

He nodded and said, "It is indeed too weak, but in this realm, besides this Dawn Stone, only the temple's origin is qualified to contend with the rules of darkness. Are you confident in taking it?"

"Temple?"

Chen Lin frowned.

"Let alone whether we can find the temple, even if we could, with our strength, we wouldn't be able to destroy it. If we anger the gods behind the Heavenly Palace, it would be even more troublesome."

"Not necessarily."

The black cat licked its paws.

"The projection of that deity in this world has been mostly devoured by Ruzi Niu. The remaining energy, along with the divine servant named Chunjiu, has broken through the void and left. The temple is now ownerless."

Chen Lin's expression shifted.

He immediately asked, "Senior, do you have a way to make the temple appear?"

"of course."

The black cat proudly raised its head.

"However, using this secret technique consumes a great deal of energy. I need you to promise me one thing before I can help you."

"Senior, please speak."

The black cat pondered for a moment, then stared at Chen Lin and said, "When you reach that point, you must give my son a spot to go out."

"The step you were referring to, senior, is..."

Chen Lin didn't quite understand what the other person meant.

"You don't need to ask now, you'll find out in time. Besides, this is just a guess, so if I'm wrong, consider it a favor I did for you."

"Ok."

"However, my storage device is broken, so I need your help to put away the Dawn Stone."

Chen Lin nodded in agreement.

He secretly thought to himself that these powerful people liked to act mysterious and never explained anything.

"Ah."

The black cat hummed in agreement.

With a swipe of its claws, a dusty gray pouch was pulled out, and the Dawn Stone was taken into it. The pouch swelled up as if something was thrashing inside.

"be honest!"

The black cat slapped it hard.

The bag flashed with a faint light, and then it fell silent inside.

Chen Lin looked on with envy.

He had longed for such a treasure, but he had never encountered one, and even if he did, he probably couldn't afford it.

"Let's go."

Say hello.

The black cat's body transformed into a streak of light and fell.

Chen Lin hurriedly followed.

After about an hour, the two passed through the dark clouds and returned to the mountaintop on the ground.

They did not return to Yuming City.

The black cat took out more than a dozen materials and set up an altar on the mountaintop.

Then I began to cast the arcane incantation.

"These materials of mine are all treasures, accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Now that I'm giving them all to you, you mustn't be ungrateful."

After the altar was activated, the black cat muttered to itself.

"Don't worry, senior. As long as I can take that step you mentioned, I will definitely bring Xiao Xun with me. If you want to come along, you can too."

Chen Lin patted his chest and assured him.

"Let's talk about it then."

The black cat sighed softly.

"Since the beginning of time, no one has ever been heard of actually taking that step. Even the Shadow Scholar is only suspected. Don't think too much about it. Just continue your cultivation as usual."

"Thank you, senior, for the tip."

Chen Lin was too lazy to guess what the other party meant, so he simply gave a perfunctory answer.

If someone really tries to make trouble for him, their true intentions will naturally come to light eventually. Overthinking will only cause more trouble.

"okay."

As the black cat's voice rang out, large, glowing runes lit up on the altar, moving and changing in a unique pattern before finally merging together.

"Buzz!"

The altar trembled violently.

All the light converged in one place, forming a giant mirror.

Between rotations.

The faint outline of a building appeared in the sky.

It was a temple!

Chen Lin was amazed.

There are countless supernatural powers and secret techniques in the world, which can shock him at any moment.

But he discovered.

This temple is slightly different from the ones I've seen before.

The building appears to have more than one side; two other sides can be faintly seen in the mirror, and there are not one, but three, statues on top of the building.

He suddenly understood.

The so-called three factions' temples are actually one, but each person sees a different side, so the corresponding statue is not the same.

The temples they entered were also different.

"Don't look at it."

The black cat simply leaped.

"Without the projection of that evil god, the temple is just a tool. As long as it can be suppressed, it is not difficult to take away the source of energy."

"How can it be suppressed?"

Chen Lin also took flight.

He didn't feel that inexplicable sense of summoning, which meant that what the other party said was true. But even without the control of the evil god, a treasure that could rival the Ferry of Life was not something he could suppress.

"Ordinary methods simply won't work."

The black cat glanced at Chen Lin's package and said meaningfully.

Chen Lin immediately understood.

He reached out and took out the Peach of Destiny.

"Leave it to...me..."

Without Chen Lin asking, Taozi spoke up on her own initiative.

"Well done!"

Chen Lin praised with a smile.

The black cat beside it twitched its whiskers, and a look of worry appeared in its eyes.

But it returned to normal immediately.

They stretched out their cat paws and pointed at the altar. A ball of light enveloped them, and they transformed into streams of light that flew to the temple.
