I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2326 Re-entering the Abyss
After some discussion, everyone reached a consensus.

If the Nine-Touched Divine Conch cannot be found within a 60-year period, those who can enter the River of Rules in their true form should try to leave first. If successful, they should continue searching for this item in the Star Ruins.

Then come back and break the node.

However, Chen Lin was still somewhat worried. There was too much uncertainty in taking the River of Rules, so it would be best to find other ways to leave, such as those dimensional wonders and the methods controlled by the major powers.

Unfortunately.

Chen Lin contacted all the Star Ruins forces he could reach, but no one was willing to help him. Even the Seven Absolutes Sect was vague, saying they could help in other ways, but not in this matter.

Chen Lin understood the reason.

It's simply because they're wary of Four Seasons Villa and Tianhu Fisherman.

After all, Langdang Mountain only protected him for a thousand years and did not intervene again, indicating that his relationship with Langdang Mountain was not very deep.

A thousand years is a very short time.

All parties are watching and waiting.

The Seven Absolutes Sect is doing the same thing. Right now, they are just using his identity to place some pawns in the Seven Star Realm. They will decide whether to turn against the Four Seasons Manor and seize the realm after a thousand years, depending on the situation.

A force that can become a regional hegemon has a multi-faceted strategy for doing things; it's impossible for them to put all their eggs in one basket.

Therefore, Chen Lin no longer had any expectations of these forces.

He left Bai Yueguang and the others to guard the node, while he entered the boundary river.

I'm going to explore it again myself to see if I've missed anything, and also to look for the people I couldn't find before.

Having experienced using 'that characteristic', Chen Lin believed that even if he encountered the true form of the Heavenly Lake Fisherman, he wouldn't be completely powerless to resist, and he could even test the other party's reaction.

But he did not return to Kaiyuan Realm.

I traveled within the boundary river and visited many different areas.

However, it was not attacked.

The Old Fisherman of Tianhu seems to have truly disappeared, no longer intending to cause him any trouble, or perhaps his true strength is insufficient to secure his capture.

Regardless of which one.

Chen Lin felt much more at ease. After traveling for some time, he went into the Nightmare Realm again to look for Niu Niu.

No abnormalities were observed.

The whole world seemed to suddenly become calm.

However, Niu Niu does not intend to leave the Nightmare Realm. She is looking for a way to regain control of the Nightmare King Seal. She said that if Chen Lin is unable to leave the realm, he can wait until she controls the Nightmare King Seal and then break the seal directly.

Chen Lin didn't delay.

They set off into the abyss.

The place that once deterred him is now a smooth road, and all the creatures of the abyss who sense his presence flee in panic from a great distance.

The resources here have become useless to him.

Chen Lin floated beside the wall of the boundary river, silently lamenting the impermanence of life.

He had once floated here as well, but he was like an ant, not daring to even breathe, feeling that this place was so mysterious and so magnificent.

See now.

That's all there is to it.

He could even forcibly break through the boundary river wall, which stopped all the strong in their tracks, without having to look for the Three Rivers, Two Caves, and One Bridge if he so desired.

At this moment, Chen Lin thought of Ji Yueqing.

If the other party hadn't given him the ability to open his eyes to the heavens back then, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today. This ability has been of great help to him.

It is more important than any other supernatural power.

Especially in the quill pen scene, if he hadn't had the ability to see through things, he would have died inside the first time he went in.

pity.

He later sent people to look for the other party many times, but he was never able to find him.

It is estimated that it has already perished.

After letting his thoughts wander for a while, Chen Lin regained his composure and flew towards the bottom of the abyss.

He encountered many abyssal treasures along the way, which he seized and cleaned up completely. He also dealt with two so-called evil gods to test his abilities.

The result was utterly devastating.

These so-called evil gods were all corrupted by the aura of the strange kingdom, and they were almost powerless to resist him when facing the official Punisher.

Rune techniques can also be used to counter it.

In short, it was not challenging at all. After killing two Chen Lins, I lost interest and stopped wasting time, and made my way to the bottom of the abyss.

After searching for a while.

Upon arriving at the location marked on the scroll map, they saw the statue that Ji Yueqing had mentioned.

He was very tall, a typical human, and nothing unusual about him.

But I only glanced at it.

Chen Lin was certain that the statue possessed the aura of 'Luo', but it wasn't just Luo; other auras also existed, making it appear quite chaotic and mixed.

But it is also extremely strange and powerful.

In other words, the 'Luo' who put him in life-or-death situations several times in the lower realm was one of this person's descendants.

No.

They are descendants of descendants.

The descendants of Guluoqi are divided into three branches.

Luo is one branch, which is further divided into Jin Luo, Tian Luo, and You Luo. Qi is the branch of Qi Lio, but he didn't have much contact with it.

As for ancient times.

Chen Lin suspected it might be related to the talent that Gu Shengjin possessed back then.

However, speculating now is pointless.

Ants may speculate about the origins of the great being, but the great being need not concern himself with the ants.

Because no matter how strange the origin, they can be crushed underfoot, or they won't even bother to step on it, for fear of leaving stains on their feet.

Chen Lin walked around the statue once.

I didn't touch it.

Although he didn't think this Gurochi was particularly powerful right now, his consistent style of doing things still made him constantly cautious, lest he be caught off guard and suffer an unexpected setback. Following Ji Yueqing's instructions, Chen Lin explored along the statue's gaze.

With his powerful senses, he quickly located the lake marked on the map. It didn't look very big, but it was shrouded in a layer of mist, making visibility difficult.

Chen Lin glanced at it.

After sensing no danger, he reached out and grabbed the water in the lake, which was then compressed into a fist-sized 'water ball'.

Use your finger to draw a slit in the air.

They threw the water balloon in.

Then he flew down to the bottom of the lake and looked at a circular altar at the deepest part.

Not big.

It resembles a millstone, but it is covered with mysterious runes, and when viewed from above, it looks like a giant character.

Chen Lin touched his chin.

According to Ji Yueqing, the statue should be activated first, and then the statue should release energy to activate the formation on the altar.

That will open the passage.

However, judging from his perception, although the formation on this altar was profound, it was not enough to break through the boundary seal.

Even without the seal, the interdimensional passage cannot be opened.

A teleportation channel that can traverse realms cannot be constructed by such a small array. The array provided by Lan Menghan is only used to activate the array-breaking treasure, which requires so many top-tier materials.

So there's something wrong with this thing.

Chen Lin was greatly disappointed.

He originally had high expectations for this place. After all, Gurochi was a powerful figure from ancient times, and he might have already reached the realm of the Sovereign.

It's quite normal to have access to a passage to the Star Ruins.

Now it seems...

He's overthinking it; the passage is fake and has no connection to anything.

Chen Lin studied it for a while.

Returning to the statue, after a moment's thought, he flicked his wrist, conjuring the Blue Enchantress. Seven azure daggers formed a killing array and slashed at the statue.

He himself retreated to a distance and activated the Ninefold Armor to its fullest extent.

"Buzz!"

The statue trembled.

Countless runes lit up on it, and a slit opened between its brows, revealing a narrow eyeball.

Between rotations.

An invisible force field appeared, blocking the dagger killing formation.

But it didn't last long.

As Chen Lin intensified his attack, the force field gradually weakened and finally collapsed, turning the statue into dust.

Put away your supernatural powers.

Chen Lin stepped forward and took a look.

With a wave of his hand.

He held an oval-shaped crystal in his hand.

This object is the eyeball between the eyebrows. The reason why this statue has so many mysteries is because this crystal provides energy. If you concentrate and sense it, you can feel the heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

Extremely high level.

However, after so many years of consumption, even the most advanced energy crystals were almost used up, so he easily destroyed the statue.

Chen Lin returned to the bottom of the lake.

He enveloped the crystal with his magic and placed it in the center of the altar. Based on his experience, this was the location of the array's core.

really.

As he unleashed the energy of the crystal, the runes on the altar suddenly lit up, twisted and flickered, and then condensed together, actually forming a single character!
Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

This character is a standard rune cleric character, but it seems to be incomplete, making it impossible to accurately understand its meaning. Moreover, it doesn't appear to be a single character, but rather a combination of at least two characters.

He was not allowed to observe further.

After the characters were fully condensed, they disappeared into the altar.

The altar immediately dispersed, turning into particles of light that constantly changed and rearranged, eventually forming a circular entrance to the passage.

He hesitated for a moment.

Chen Lin used a jade pendant from the cave to summon Chen Ling'er.

"Daddy."

As soon as Chen Ling'er came out, she immediately sensed the strange aura around her, and her expression changed. However, seeing that Chen Lin was not in any danger, she was relieved.

"Don't worry."

After briefly describing the situation, Chen Lin took out the Red Dust and handed it to Chen Ling'er.

"I plan to go inside and explore, but to prevent any accidents, I intend to go in with my true soul body, while leaving my physical body here. If I haven't come out within ten days, you can leave with my physical body."

"Will problems arise if the body and soul are separated for too long?"

Chen Ling'er inquired with concern.

"It's alright."

Chen Lin pointed at Hongchen and said, "I'm leaving Hongchen to you. Her abilities can sustain my physical body, and she can also help you fight if danger arises."

After hearing Chen Lin's explanation, Chen Ling'er stopped asking questions.

She knew her father's personality; he always acted after careful consideration, and once he made a decision, he wouldn't easily change it.

Chen Lin then gave Hong Chen some more instructions.

Besides getting the other party to help Chen Ling'er, if this place really is a passage connecting to the outer realms and he is unable to return, he can also ask the other party to find Fairy Peach Blossom and seek protection for Chen Ling'er and the others.

That concludes the explanation.

Without further hesitation, his true soul detached from his body and flew into the entrance of the passage.

Then the light particles dimmed.

The entrance has disappeared.
