I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

The war ended.

Chen Lin, Luo Qinglan, and others gathered together to discuss their next plan.

The sealing formation had been broken, and he contacted the other party using the special communication method left by Dai Dai Dong, instructing them to focus on collecting the Nine-Tentacle Divine Conch and the Starlight Spirit, and to ignore the other items.

Dai Dai Dong was utterly shocked when she received the message.

He had only been gone a short while when the battle here had already ended, and their side had won a complete victory.

The joy was indescribable.

He secretly thought that he had made the right bet this time, and he was glad that he hadn't hesitated at the time, otherwise he would have missed the opportunity to leave.

Now that all four guardians have been killed, and there are very few supreme experts left, and the strongest clone of the Heavenly Lake Fisherman is restricted to the outer realm, the danger on their side has been greatly reduced, and they can calmly look for a way to break the seal.

It's only a matter of time before they break free of the domain.

Furthermore, having forged such a bond through shared battles, they can help each other once they enter the Star Ruins, which is much better than going out alone.

Not only was Dai Dai Dong surprised, but all the surviving members of the Anti-Heaven Alliance were somewhat incredulous.

They followed Chen Lin without much hope, but they had no other choice. If they didn't resist, they would be enslaved, so they fought to the death.

Unexpectedly, they actually managed to carve out a bright future.

"Gentlemen."

Chen Lin glanced at the remaining members of the Heaven-Defying Alliance.

He said in a deep voice, "Although we have won this battle, we still cannot let our guard down. After all, the Fisherman of Tianhu is still around. However, I have already secured a thousand years of development time for us through a mysterious expert."

"Within a thousand years."

"Four Seasons Manor and the Sky Lake Fisherman who has joined Four Seasons Manor will not attack our Anti-Heaven Alliance."

"But only the clone in the Four Seasons Villa."

"The Old Fisherman of Tianhu still has his main body in the boundary river, and there may be other clones as well. We are still not absolutely safe."

I looked around.

Chen Lin took out the spoils he had previously collected.

They were given to Luo Qinglan, Grand Duke Bai Yueguang, and Jin Sheng respectively.

"Distribute these things among everyone. As for those fellow cultivators who died in battle, if you can find their families, be sure to return their belongings and provide them with compensation."

"The remaining time."

"Everyone must search for the Nine-Tentacle Conch!"

"Once we find this item, we can break the seal and completely escape the cage of the Seven Star Realm. At that time, whether you want to stay in the Heaven-Defying Alliance or cultivate on your own, I, Chen, will not restrict you."

"Our leader is mighty!"

All members shouted loudly.

Chen Lin brought out most of his spoils, including many treasures with high-dimensional characteristics. Obtaining just one of them could significantly boost their strength.

Such leaders are worthy of their emulation.

"There is one more thing."

Chen Lin continued speaking.

"I have decided to build a mobile base as the main base for the Anti-Heaven Alliance to fight against the Heavenly Lake Fisherman, and also to provide a safe place for all my relatives and disciples to cultivate."

"but."

"The base needs a super array to ensure its safety. The construction may take a long time and will require a large number of high-level array masters to help."

"If any of you have connections in this area, please recommend them. The reward will be very generous."

"and."

"I have already contacted the Seven Absolutes Sect, one of the ten major powers in the central area of ​​Star Ruins, and requested that they jointly govern the Seven Star Realm to help us resist the Heavenly Lake Fisherman. If an agreement can be reached, the safety of this realm will no longer be a problem."

The joy on everyone's faces deepened.

Those who reach the Eternal Realm are beings who have lived for tens of thousands of years. None of them are alone. In order to survive, they have to leave the Seven Star Realm, but their relatives and disciples will be implicated.

Having such a base camp would be much better.

"Our leader is mighty!"

Everyone shouted again.

Chen Lin raised his hand and pressed down.

After giving some more instructions, he sent everyone away to attend to their personal matters, and said he would convene them again once a suitable location had been chosen.

Then he looked at the White Moonlight Grand Duke.

"There are still some escaped remnants. We must eliminate them completely. Let's split into two groups to hunt them down and try to wipe them out before they leave. We can take this opportunity to find the Nine-Tentacle Divine Conch."

"can."

Grand Duke Bai Yueguang readily agreed.

Looking at the remaining people, he said, "Then I will go with Fellow Daoist Jin Sheng and the others. Fellow Daoist Chen, take Fellow Daoist Lan, and let Qinglan lead the rest of the people to guard this place."

"Do not."

Chen Lin waved his hand.

“We cannot afford to lose this node. Lan Menghan and I will stay here and wait for the guild leader and Xiaocao. You can go after those remnants. They are like stray dogs now and are nothing to fear.”

"Alright."

Grand Duke Bai Yueguang pondered for a moment and felt that this distribution was more reasonable.

Node and Lan Menghan are of utmost importance and can only be protected by Chen Lin personally; none of them can guarantee their absolute safety.

But that's how it is.

Be careful when hunting down those supreme experts.

Even a cornered beast fighting back is dangerous.

The group studied it for a while.

It was decided that Luo Qinglan would lead one team, while Grand Duke Bai Yueguang and Jin Sheng would lead another team.

After leaving, Luo Qinglan first went to meet up with Dai Dai Dong, along with the three soul smugglers who had previously sought refuge with her, and Xiao Xun, whose strength had increased dramatically after obtaining a high-dimensional trophy.

The combat strength is sufficient.

Even if they encounter two or three supreme beings at once, they can handle them with ease.

Besides Jin Sheng, Grand Duke Bai Yueguang's side also includes several powerful elders from the Ant Society, whose strength should not be underestimated.

Moreover, each team has quite a few members.

These team members survived the great battle; each of them possessed formidable combat power and acquired treasures from the spoils of war. Together, they could even contend with the Supreme Being.

At last.

Chen Lin took out several pieces of colorful crystals and some high-level talismans, and handed them to Luo Qinglan and Hitis.

One should still take care of one's own woman.

Tasks have been assigned.

Everyone broke through the void and disappeared.

Only three figures remained at the node: Chen Lin, Lan Menghan, and Chen Ling'er.

Originally, Chen Ling'er wanted to follow along to hunt down the enemy, but after obtaining the Immortal-Slaying Bow, her strength greatly increased.

But Chen Lin stopped him.

On the one hand, for safety reasons, and on the other hand, he also needed the other party's help to study the nameless formation.

The other party had been helping Wen Xinzhao set up the grand formation all these years in the Kaiyuan Realm, and knew more about the formation than he did.

Chen Lin did not intend to ask Wen Xinzhao for help.

The Kaiyuan Realm has been closed. If he goes back, he will have to activate the protective array, which would make it easy for the Tianhu Fisherman to take advantage of the situation. It's better to let them cultivate peacefully inside without disturbing them.

Moreover, the Nameless Grand Formation is very complex, and even with Wen Xinzhao's help, it cannot be accomplished overnight.

He and Chen Ling'er drew up a general outline, and then let the array masters here study it slowly. As for whether they could set up the grand array, that depended on their own fate.

He cannot do everything himself.

Chen Lin set up two formations around the node, one for defense and one for early warning, and then took out the spirit boat to consolidate the gains of this battle.

Chen Ling'er and Lan Menghan took turns keeping watch.

Shake.

Six months have passed.

Chen Lin has fully absorbed the lessons learned from this battle.

He sighed that combat was the best way to improve one's cultivation. Cultivators fight against the heavens, the earth, and other people, and combat ability is one of the core elements.

First and foremost is the soul.

After this battle, Chen Lin learned that 'that characteristic' could exist independently and could be used in combat.

Unfortunately.

He had no way to manipulate this power. To use it, he would have to do what he did before: burrow his soul into the target's body. But this required the target to be immobilized, or, like the old man, to lack any means to escape the impact of the soul.

Such usage conditions are too demanding, making it almost impossible to use in normal combat.

But it's not exactly useless either.

With this mysterious energy, one is basically invincible when using the Soul-Supporting Secret Technique.

Even the souls of ordinary rulers might not be as strong as his.

of course.

The Dominator's methods are unpredictable, and it is unrealistic to try to contend with it using soul-controlling secret techniques.

There is also the risk of being attacked from behind.

Thinking about this...

Chen Lin had another question in his mind.

The fact that the old man could be exempt from the Soul-Suppressing Secret Technique was something he couldn't understand at all.

and also.

Between the other party and He Qianshan, who is actually the alter ego of the Old Fisherman of Tianhu?
Chen Ling originally thought that the two were clones, or even that the old man was the true form of the Fisherman of Heavenly Lake. However, since one of them could activate the Soul-Countering Secret Technique while the other could not, they could not be the same person.

Only one of them is an alter ego of the Old Fisherman of Tianhu.

Or neither.

I thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out.

Chen Lin pondered what the White Moonlight Grand Duke had told him about 'clearing' the traces.

According to Bai Yueguang.

This ability is one of the most terrifying abilities in this cultivation world.

It seems to come from a mysterious organization.

It could also be the legacy of some powerful being; many speculate that it was left behind by the Shadow Scholar.

Some people speculate that it came from an abandoned land.

The purpose of this ability is to eliminate; it can not only eliminate the target living being, but also erase all traces of the target, making it completely disappear from this world.

No matter what backup plans you have, it's useless.

In ancient times, it was called 'wiping'.

If that were all, Chen Lin wouldn't really care, but another piece of information that Bai Yueguang mentioned made him take it seriously.

The other party said that this 'wiping' ability is mainly targeted at rune cultivators!
It can erase characters!
"wipe……"

Chen Lin murmured softly.

His expression also became unpredictable.

This erasing ability is like an eraser, and the cultivators in this world are like individual characters.

No.

Only those at the dominant level are considered characters; the rest are merely strokes.

The lower levels don't even count as strokes.

It can only be considered ink.

"With books, erasers, and characters, the creator of this world was truly a cultured person."

Chen Lin was speechless.

He had just switched to rune training and this ability appeared; it felt like he was being targeted.

With this ability, he will have to be more careful when using characters in the future, lest someone erase his characters.

Even if he manages to save his life, all his cultivation will be lost.

However, Chen Lin was not too worried.

The 'characteristic' I possess proved that I could resist wiping and was not powerless against it.

Moreover, very few people possess the skills to wipe it clean.

To obtain this ability must come with stringent conditions, and it is also a thorn in the side of all dominant-level powerhouses, because this ability can not only eliminate characters, but also has an effect on Dao traces.

It can be said.

It is the nemesis of all normal practitioners in this world.

Therefore, it was attacked by the masses as soon as it appeared, and its lineage was basically cut off in ancient times, and it rarely appeared.

My thoughts wandered for a while.

Chen Lin picked up 'Deduction and Research on Mysterious Characters' and continued his study.

Now that things have come to this point, he can no longer switch to another profession; he can only continue down this path to the bitter end.

Time flies like an arrow.

More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye.

The outer space was calm and still; it seemed that the Fisherman of Tianhu had truly given up and had not sent anyone over.

I doubt there's anyone left to send.

According to the messages sent back by Luo Qinglan and Bai Yueguang, both of their teams had killed a lot of the remaining slaves, and very few were still alive.

During this period.

The Peach Blossom Fairy came once and brought a thousand-step vine.

Beitangzhu also sent someone over.

A reply from the Seven Absolutes Sect arrived, agreeing to take over the Seven Star Realm together with him and help resist the true form of the Heavenly Lake Fisherman.

But the requirements are also very demanding.

The other party argued that their Anti-Heaven Alliance was only a nominal representative, and that the entire outer space was actually under the management of the Seven Absolutes Sect.

The abyss also requires joint development.

They only intend to leave the area within the Boundary River untouched, as the energy there is too low-level, making it difficult even to advance to the Eternal Realm. Given the Seven Absolutes Sect's level, they simply don't consider it worth their attention.

Furthermore.

The Boundary River was opened through the Nightmare King's Seal. The Seven Absolutes Sect knew this and did not want to have any dealings with the strange kingdom.

Chen Lin did not raise any objections to this.

I chose to accept it.

Because he also had many people he couldn't take with him, since the Star Ruins were not a place where ordinary cultivators could stay. With the protection of the Seven Absolutes Sect, his people would be safer.

It can also keep Tianhu Fisherman in check.

But Chen Lin also knew that the Seven Absolutes Sect couldn't really turn against the Four Seasons Manor. They probably just wanted to test the Four Seasons Manor's reaction by bringing him out as their spokesperson.

The outcome depends on the game played by both sides.

Regardless, this news was the best thing for them right now, so the members of the Anti-Heaven Alliance secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing it.

"Father, Little Grass Mother hasn't come out yet. Shall we go in and take a look?"

Chen Ling'er entered the cabin of the spirit boat and asked Chen Lin a question.

So many years is far too long for a life mission. Even if the time flow of advanced missions is different from that of normal missions, they should have been released long ago.

Chen Lin was also very worried.

But he still shook his head.

“Looking won’t help. The ferry has its own rules, which even Wen Chenke can’t change. She can only rely on herself.”

After speaking, he looked at Chen Ling'er.

"Where is the ant leader? Any news about him?"

Unlike the Ferry of Life, the location of entry and exit in the Crystal Realm may be off, and the other person may not necessarily land here after exiting.

"No."

Chen Ling'er shook her head in reply.

After a moment's hesitation, she said in a deep voice, "This person is very mysterious. He has been in contact with us for so long, but he has not said his name or background. None of the others know him either. He doesn't seem very reliable."

"It's alright."

Chen Lin smiled.

"Regardless of his background, as long as he is willing to fight against the Fisherman of Tianhu Lake, he is our partner. Once we enter the Star Ruins, we will naturally part ways."

"Oh, right."

"Have the men sent to the border river returned? What's the situation inside?"

"everything is normal."

Chen Ling'er gave Chen Lin an answer that put his mind at ease.

He then said no more and continued his study of rune theory. (End of Chapter)
