I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Stargate!

Upon seeing the seven-colored light gate, Chen Lin's expression turned solemn.

He vaguely sensed that the portal had a strange attraction for him, as if some force was urging him to go in.

Moreover, the aura released by the light gate was very familiar to him; it was the space his consciousness had entered before, but now there was no sense of oppression, and instead, he felt somewhat at ease.

Chen Lin looked at the flowers.

At this moment, the power of the seven stars was completely drawn by the star gate, and the flower could no longer absorb it. Its radiance slowly faded and fell back into his hand.

However, his condition has not recovered.

The petals remained as delicate as brushstrokes, while the flower center and stems had become dull in color.

"Ok?"

As he was observing, Chen Lin's expression changed.

As the flower fell back into my hand, the runes below the stem stretched out on their own, like roots piercing into my palm. Then a strange feeling arose, as if my physical body had become part of the flower.

Followed by.

The natal rune resonated with it and became active.

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment.

Instead of stopping it, he manipulated his natal runes, attempting to merge with the changed flower.

The flowers immediately showed resistance.

However, under the suppression of the rules of the natal rune, it was still gradually devoured.

The flower's heart and roots disintegrated, transforming into energy that merged into the body, while the seven strokes reverted to runes, becoming part of the main rune.

at the same time.

The Stargate lost its appeal to him; that inexplicable sense of familiarity was gone.

Chen Lin felt a sense of relief.

After years of cultivation, the natal rune has improved significantly in its essence, becoming much more refined and perfect; otherwise, it might have truly split off.

And now.

Not only did it not split, but it also allowed all seven laws to advance to a higher level and become more closely connected, as if they were one.

A thought came to my mind.

Seven runes appeared on Chen Lin's palm, twisting and shaking before transforming into different strokes combined together.

These runes possess a built-in 'attraction'.

They attract and connect with each other, forming a seemingly plausible but actually ambiguous character.

"what?"

Chen Lin let out a soft "hmm".

The character is very unstable, but some parts can still be discerned even as it wobbles.

It feels like the character '法' from a past life.

However, it is incomplete.

One of the strokes is missing.

Law?
After looking at it more carefully for a while, Chen Lin became increasingly convinced that he hadn't made a mistake, and couldn't help but feel surprised and uncertain.

After a true rune advances, it will become a true character, so it's not surprising that it forms a law character. However, it's a bit abnormal that it condenses into a Chinese character.

This is the Seven Star Realm.

The 'law strokes' that condense characters also originate from here. Even if what is condensed is not a mysterious script like the mortal fate characters, it is at least a star script or a void script.

The only thing that shouldn't be Chinese characters is...

Could it be that.

Is the formation of characters related to the practitioner's cognition?

Chen Lin had a guess in his mind.

It seems that this is the only explanation.

But Chinese characters are not a script for spiritual practice, so what use can the true characters formed from them have?
correct.

Chen Lin suddenly remembered something.

He had previously deduced that the Star Lord was also a transmigrator from Earth, and if that were true, the formation of these characters was probably related to him.

"The ghost lingers."

Muttering to himself, Chen Lin stopped rushing to the Star Gate and began studying the magic characters.

I checked it once.

After failing to detect anything unusual, he took out a puppet.

Then, manipulate the characters to issue the attack command.

The characters slowly rose up and drifted towards the puppet.

As the distance increased, Chen Lin found it difficult to control, requiring him to consume a large amount of rune source material to enhance the sense of connection, otherwise it would collapse.

Fortunately, the puppet wasn't too far away.

Before the rune energy was exhausted, it finally made it to its destination and disappeared into the puppet's brow in a flash.

immediately.

The puppet emitted a seven-colored light, and the seven kinds of rule power erupted at the same time, instantly destroying the puppet and leaving not a trace of its spirituality.

His body also turned to dust.

At this time.

The life symbol re-spread into strokes and returned to the life rune in a strange way.

They also brought back some of the essence of life.

of course.

This puppet is only at the Void Realm, and its energy is useless. However, this effect surprised Chen Lin. If he kills a powerful being in the future, he can replenish his energy during the battle, greatly increasing its endurance.

As for whether it is related to the Star Lord, we don't need to worry about it for now.

Step by step.

Walk to the location of the puppet.

A wave.

Chen Lin sucked some of the dust from the ground onto his hand.

Concentrate and sense.

His eyes became brighter and brighter.

The materials used to create the illusory puppet are not ordinary treasures, yet they have no spirituality whatsoever, indicating that the magic characters have the effect of eliminating extraordinary characteristics.

Besides.

The character "法" (law) contains the seven laws, which means that the target is attacked by seven supernatural powers at the same time, and they can automatically coordinate, making it not easy to neutralize.

Also.

One thing is still certain.

Characters have the ability to lock on; once a target is identified, unless the target has corresponding rule power, no matter how slowly the character floats, it cannot evade or escape.

nice one!
Chen Lin shook off the dust.

He asked the red dust in his sleeve, "How do you think my character compares to your destiny character?"

"They are very different."

Hongchen answered without any politeness.

Chen Lin's lips twitched.

"Then tell me what's different. Is it because my characters are too simple?"

"No."

Hongchen thought about it.

He explained, “Although your character is simple, it is at the same level as my destiny character. However, your character is incomplete and cannot be called a true character yet because it has not reached the level of qualitative change.”

Chen Lin nodded slightly.

The other party is right. The character of law he condensed is indeed incomplete, missing a stroke. But missing a stroke is missing a stroke, and it doesn't count as a character.

After a moment's thought.

He placed his finger on the tip of the peach in the mortal world, conveying the structure of the character "法" to the other person.

"My true character looks like this, but it's missing just one stroke. How do you think it should be completed?"

Now that the Seven Stars Sun Technique has reached its peak and the seven stars have been united, there is no way to condense another stroke. The other party has inherited characters and should know more about this than him.

"There are three possibilities."

Hongchen analyzed, "The first one is yourself, the master. You need to use yourself as a medium to complete the last piece."

"At that time, you were the character, and the character was you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin's heart stirred.

The flower had just planted its roots into his flesh, generating an inexplicable attraction and intimacy. Could it be that it wanted to merge him with the character and complete the last stroke?
It's very likely. However, it was suppressed by his natal rune and failed, which actually benefited him instead.

"According to the records I have received, this situation seems to be the most standard and the ultimate goal of all rune practitioners. Only in this way can one achieve perfection."

The message continues to travel through the mortal world.

"What does 'ultimate goal' mean?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin pressed for an answer.

"Hmm... I'm not quite sure either."

Hongchen hesitated.

“Recently, I have received some more information about my lineage, but it is only about cultivation. The rest is still very vague. I only know that in the end, one must merge with the characters to achieve perfection. I don’t know anything else.”

"Is that so?"

Chen Lin frowned.

If you cultivate until you lose your body, what's the point of achieving immortality?
"The second possibility is a stargate."

The voice of the mortal world rang out once again.

“Master, the seven stars are united here, and the seven stars in the starry sky are also united. The energy of the seven stars is merging with the flowers, but the energy in the star gate is not merging with the master.”

"It's possible that this step is missing."

Chen Lin nodded again.

He gazed at the portal in the starry sky and thought this explanation made a lot of sense.

but.

If one merges with the energy within the Star Gate, it's hard to say whether one can preserve oneself; the Star Lord's backup plan may very well lie here.

"Finally, there's that seed."

The story of Hongchen continues.

"The appearance of those seeds is very strange. Logically speaking, since all seven petal spirits have been reincarnated and the flower has been fused into the runes by its master, it should have completely disappeared."

"But one seed was left behind."

"So it's very likely that it's the missing part of the character."

"That's all I can think of. Master can make his own judgment. But I must remind you that there will be great danger the moment the true character is formed. Very few people can withstand it. I survived by chance during my life mission."

"Ok."

Chen Lin replied.

Then, he condensed his true soul body and entered the Jade Pendant in the Cave Heaven.

On the soil in the center of the pool, a new seven-colored flower has taken shape. It feels purer than the previous one, giving people an extremely noble feeling.

However, it has no connection to his natal rune.

I observed for a while.

Chen Lin flew over the flower and gently reached out his hand to touch it.

Are you sure you want to touch me?

A woman's voice suddenly appeared in Chen Lin's mind.

Chen Lin was startled.

With a flash, he retreated to the edge of the pool, watching the flowers warily, his body surrounded by runes, activating the Ninefold Armor to its fullest potential.

"Such powerful runic power, such a strong soul aura, no wonder it can suppress the law runes."

The sound appeared again.

"who are you?"

Chen Lin spoke in a deep voice.

Since it was a woman's voice, it shouldn't be the Star Lord, so he didn't leave immediately.

"Me?"

"With your intelligence, you've probably already guessed it, haven't you? That's right, I am He Qing from the Mochigan tribe!"

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

He then cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "So you are the Holy Maiden. I have long admired your reputation, but I never expected to meet you in this way. It is truly an honor for me."

"okay."

"The saintess is a thing of the past, and I am no longer the person I once was. Now I have something I need your help with. If you can do it, I guarantee that your confidantes will be able to regain their past memories and emotions after they are reincarnated."

"And your Daoist partner, Luo Qinglan."

"I can also let her consciousness be the master in this life."

"besides."

"If you want your runes to be upgraded to characters, I can guide you; otherwise, you will definitely not succeed."

"Please show me, sir."

Chen Lin cupped his hands in a respectful gesture once more.

This is a legendary figure; even if he were reincarnated as a flower, he would still be far superior to ordinary cultivators.

"It's very simple."

"Enter the Star Gate and find a seven-colored building. Inside is a statue of me. Just take it out. If you can also capture some Star Spirits, that would be even better, so I can recover faster."

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

When he entered the star gate in his mind's eye, he saw a seven-colored building, but it seemed to be deep inside.

"Sir, could you tell me about the situation inside the Star Gate? Otherwise, I'm not sure if it's true. I've heard that it connects to a higher level of space."

"It's true that you can connect to higher levels of space, but I advise you not to try."

Saintess Heqing answered immediately.

He continued, "Back then, when the Star Lord and I discovered the secrets of the Seven Stars, we used the Primordial Monument to create the Seven Star Realm and used the power of the stars and the faith of all living beings to open the Star Gate."

"I thought I could glimpse a higher level, but I almost perished. I had to use every means to enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"With your current cultivation level, it's even more impossible for you to reach the end of the passage."

"Where is the Star Lord?"

Chen Lin asked again.

"Was the Seven Stars Sun Technique that I cultivate created by the Star Lord? Did he also reincarnate along with the Holy Maiden?"

"Ugh!"

Saintess Heqing sighed softly.

She said softly, "Remember one thing: never test your feelings with life and death. No one can withstand the test. The Seven Star Sun Technique was created by him and me together, but the Seven Realms Flower was left by me and has nothing to do with him."

As for whether he was reincarnated.

"It's highly likely they have no chance; they've probably already perished completely."

Chen Lin was taken aback.

Judging from what the other party said, it seems that this perfect couple has experienced a change of events after entering the Star Gate, and have become enemies.

Moreover, the fight between the two ended with the other side emerging victorious.

After a moment's thought.

Chen Lin spoke again: "There is something I would like to confirm with the Holy Maiden. Just now, after I completed the Seven Stars Merging, all the petals turned into character strokes, and then a strong attraction and a sense of intimacy appeared in the Star Gate."

"It seems like something is calling to me."

"Does Lady Heqing think it might be the remnant soul of the Star Lord?"

"Is there such a change?"

The Saintess Heqing's tone wavered.

a long time.

She spoke again, saying, "It seems he hasn't completely perished; he's still clinging to life inside. But it's alright. I'll give you a treasure that can restrain him."

Done.

A point of light flew out from the flower.

After it came to Chen Lin, it turned into a colorful ring.

"You can use it against the Star Lord, but this item can only be used once, so you have to seize the opportunity."

Chen Lin reached out and grabbed the ring.

Its texture was firm, and there was no indication that it was formed from condensed energy, which made me even more wary.

Although the other party's words sound nice, it's hard to fathom their true intentions. They might discard you once they've obtained the statue.

It's even uncertain whether the other party is He Qing, the Holy Maiden.

You can't believe everything you hear.

"Go quickly, I need to seal myself away to avoid being discovered. The star gate won't be open for long, so be sure to bring my statue back. Besides the conditions I promised you before, I can grant you one more wish..."

Don't wait to finish.

The flower closed up again, becoming a bud, and slowly shrank back into the soil. (End of Chapter)
