I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2325: Cut into pieces by a thousand cuts
one year later.

Beitangzhu returned to the node, bringing back new information.

"The sect has replied and can give you the secret method of separating self from others. In addition, we will also give you a set of materials for setting up the separation array. These materials are extremely valuable, especially the Luo Zi Flower Liquid, which is a unique sovereign-level spiritual plant of our sect."

"What does that sect want me to do?"

Chen Lin asked in a deep voice.

The higher the value the other party claims in the method of separation, the greater the price they will have to pay.

"I need you to retrieve something from a strange land."

"A strange land?"

Chen Lin frowned.

"Although I am the Punisher, the Mysterious Kingdom is a place that even the strongest rulers dare not go. Is it too difficult for me to go there to retrieve something?"

"It is indeed very big."

Beitangzhu nodded.

"But the only thing your sect values ​​about you is your identity as the Punisher. Nothing else is enough to exchange for the Secret Technique of Separation."

She sighed softly as she said this.

"I tried my best to help you, and even had my master intervene, but this is all I could manage."

"Actually, according to the other elders in the sect, they wanted you to hand over those two special treasures, but considering your special status, they did not force you to give them to them."

"If you want to obtain the secret techniques and materials, you can only choose to go to the strange land."

Chen Lin felt a chill run down his spine.

The two special treasures the other party mentioned must be the crystal needle and the seven-star spoon.

really.

Such treasures are easily coveted.

However, the Seven Star Spoon was obtained from Ye Changge, and it is estimated that even powerful individuals who know its origin would not dare to forcibly seize it.

After all, he was an ancient powerhouse. Even if he couldn't appear in the world for some reason, it was not advisable to offend him rashly. Otherwise, once he escaped, he would have made a great enemy.

"What treasure does the sect want to obtain, and when will they set off?"

He hesitated for a moment.

Chen Lin still inquired about the details.

"It is a relic of the previous sect leader. As for when to set off, there is no rush. We can talk about it after you leave the Seven Star Realm. Of course, we cannot delay for too long. At the latest, it cannot exceed three thousand years."

Chen Lin's eyes flickered slightly.

Three thousand years, that's acceptable.

With this buffer period, even if his strength doesn't reach the level of a ruler, it will be much stronger than it is now, and he will still have time to learn about the strange kingdom.

Also.

In such a long time, the Heavenly Trial has probably already begun, and it's questionable whether he can even survive.

With that thought, he stopped worrying.

He nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright, let's trade according to the sect's requirements."

"readily."

"As expected of my brother."

Beitangzhu revealed an expression of appreciation.

Then take out a scroll and a small storage bag.

"The items are all inside. I have no right to examine this secret technique. You can figure it out yourself, but remember not to pass it on. Both items contain the power of a contract. Opening them means accepting the contract, and breaking the contract will result in a backlash."

"Understood."

Chen Lin solemnly accepted it.

Beitangzhu then rose to take his leave.

Before leaving, he added, "By the way, I've found the key to the array that you asked me to find for you. It's a Star Control Bead. You can choose a star and integrate it into your array, which will allow you to drive that star and create a mobile base."

Chen Lin was delighted upon hearing this.

Immediately clasp your hands in a fist salute.

"Thank you for your help, sister. As for the value of this item, I will pay you with a treasure of equal value."

"forget it."

Beitangzhu tossed over a large jade box.

"No need for any reward, consider it a gift from your older sister. It's a pity I couldn't find the Nine-Tentacle Divine Conch for you; it's too rare. If all else fails, you can choose another way to leave this realm."

"The Old Fisherman of Tianhu is currently in seclusion at the Four Seasons Villa. You can leave through the River of Rules."

"If that's all there is to it..."

"You can't bring your family with you, but you can let them stay in the realm for now, and come back to pick them up when you have the strength to break the seal."

"I'll consider it."

Chen Lin nodded to indicate that he understood.

He had naturally considered this idea, but it was a pity that he was only missing one material to break through the node and then choose to leave through the River of Rules.

The main thing is.

The true form of the Heavenly Lake Fisherman has not yet appeared; those who walk the River of Destiny are afraid of falling into the opponent's trap.

Beitangzhu flew away.

Chen Lin returned to the cabin, first checking the Star-Controlling Pearl in the jade box, then picking up the scroll and storage bag.

First, open the scroll.

This item actually requires soul power to activate. At the moment of activation, a mysterious and profound power acts on the soul, but it is immediately suppressed by the 'specific characteristic' within the soul.

As for whether the power of the contract had taken shape, Chen Lin could not make an accurate judgment.

The main problem is that he cannot control 'that characteristic' and cannot actively eliminate the power of the contract, but the power of the contract has not completely eroded his soul, so they are in a state of coexistence.

But Chen Lin felt...

In this situation, the power of the contract cannot take effect, and even if it does, the damage to the soul is limited.

"That characteristic..."

He muttered to himself again.

After returning from his mission, he consulted numerous ancient texts and subtly inquired with many powerful individuals, but no one knew what 'that characteristic' was.

Even Ye Changge was only speculating. But Chen Lin believed that it was unlikely to be just due to his identity as a soul smuggler; there must be other reasons.

Put aside distracting thoughts.

Chen Lin fully unrolled the scroll.

Characters immediately flew up from above and entered his brow, forming a secret technique passed down through generations.

"To break the Dao technique by cutting it into a thousand pieces."

After reciting the name of the secret technique, Chen Lin had a bad feeling.

After reading the entire incantation, his expression turned grim.

As the name suggests, to use this secret method to separate oneself from others requires enduring the agony of being cut into a thousand pieces, and it cannot be done all at once, but must be done continuously and incessantly.

They had to endure the agony of being slowly sliced ​​to death at all times.

Moreover, each strike cuts through the very foundation of the Great Dao, causing unimaginable pain.

Therefore, it needs the support of an array.

Otherwise, one may not be able to withstand the pressure, leading to an inner breakdown, the growth of inner demons, or even death and the dissipation of one's spiritual essence.

The secret technique carried its own inherited meaning, and Chen Lin quickly comprehended it.

His expression kept changing.

Even before it officially began, just the initial understanding of the inherited artistic conception gave him a sense of fear; this secret technique was far beyond what ordinary people could withstand.

However, according to the above, this technique is considered relatively 'gentle' among all the stripping techniques.

The mortality rate is in the middle to lower range.

"It's really hard to swallow what tastes good; separating is even harder than fusing!"

Chen Lin sighed.

He then picked up the storage bag to check it.

Actually, his situation is relatively good because his physical body and soul are relatively independent. The one he merged with is only the physical body, so even if it fails, it will not affect his soul.

The same reason.

The pain caused by the secret technique will only affect the physical body.

In this way, the pain will be much less. The pain of the soul is the most difficult to bear, while physical pain is not unbearable for a high-level cultivator.

Then, the inner demons naturally become irrelevant.

He took out the items from the storage bag one by one; there were dozens of items in total, as well as a formation diagram.

Chen Lin picked up one of the purple bottles.

This contains the Violet Flower Liquid, whose purpose is to dye the merged self purple. Otherwise, the original self and the other self would be one after merging, making it impossible to sever them.

This is the most important thing.

After reviewing the array diagram, Chen Lin once again marveled at the countless extraordinary skills and techniques in the world, and how everything has its counter.

Take the fusion of the id and the other self as an example.

This fusion is completely invisible; even he, the one who fused with it, could not sense anything unusual. The profound power generated after the fusion of the two is something that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.

It wasn't just him.

Other dominant beings also knew what happened but not why.

But this violet flower liquid allows the merged self to manifest, although the manifestation is not obvious, it is still magical enough.

The array diagram is not complicated.

Although Chen Lin's mastery of formations is not as great as Wen Xinzhao's, he can still set up formations of this level without needing anyone's help.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

Because using this technique to separate oneself from others will greatly affect one's strength. Not only will the characteristics of the other self generated after fusion disappear, but it will also lead to a drop in one's realm.

The situation is unclear, and it is not advisable to take immediate action.

It's not too late to act after breaking the seal and entering the Star Ruins. We also need to find a safe place so that the enemy won't come after us when we're still weak.

After thoroughly studying the secret technique, Chen Lin continued his cultivation.

At the same time, a message was sent to Grand Duke Bai Yueguang and Luo Qinglan, instructing them to find a suitable planet to use as a mobile base, and then refine the Star Control Pearl into it.

Time flies like water.

Day after day passed.

Chen Lin stopped cultivating and began to think about his next plan.

There was still no news about the Nine-Touched Divine Conch. At this rate, breaking the seal would be a long way off. Meanwhile, things could change at any time at Four Seasons Manor and Tianhu Fisherman's place. Continuing to wait was not a solution.

If all else fails, we really have to try other methods.

More than a decade or so passed.

Most of the White Moonlight Duke and his entourage returned.

The cleanup operation has basically come to an end. Most of the remaining enemies that could be found have been killed. Now, no one from the Heavenly Lake Fisherman can be seen in the entire star field.

The rest we can only try to figure out gradually.

"Has the president not returned yet?"

The first thing Jin Sheng did upon returning was to inquire about the Ant Leader's situation.

Chen Lin shook his head.

He then comforted him, saying, "With the chairman's abilities, he shouldn't be in any danger. Perhaps he's trapped for some reason, which is why he hasn't been able to get out."

"Hopefully."

Jin Sheng's expression was not good.

He was a veteran of the Ant Association, had spent a long time with the Ant Association leader, and had received much care from him, so he was naturally more worried.

Chen Lin offered no further comfort.

Having reached their level, they have witnessed countless lives and deaths, and have long since become numb to it.

So many people died in the last war. Everyone has family and friends, and it's impossible to be saddened by anything else.

"Let's gather everyone together for a meeting to discuss how to proceed next."

Chen Lin issued the order.

Then everyone gathered together to discuss it.

Please vote for me!
