I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2327 The Box
Chen Lin felt a strong pulling sensation.

Then, with a lightness of body, they appeared in a vast, dimly lit space that also emitted an unpleasant odor.

I glanced around.

Chen Lin frowned immediately.

He was standing on a high platform, or rather, at the top of a giant pillar, surrounded by billowing crimson mist below.

The unpleasant smell is produced by these fumes.

This could never be a passage connecting to the outside world. Based on his experience, it seemed to be a place used to seal some kind of strange creature.

Chen Lin activated the Ninefold Armor for defense.

Then, he maximized his soul perception and probed into the crimson mist below.

However, they discovered that the fog could block their senses.

His eyes looked serious.

Given his current soul level, and the fact that he could still isolate himself from sensory detection at such close range, the source of the fog must be extraordinary.

But now that we're here, we can't back down.

Chen Lin took out the Seven Star Spoon, ready to activate it, and then flicked his wrist, sending countless runes flying out like fireflies.

"open!"

He gave a low shout.

The runes instantly converged into a glowing dragon, which rapidly circled the pillar in the mist, stirring the mist and spreading it outwards.

A thick, rusty chain was revealed.

This end is fixed to the giant pillar.

The other end extends into the depths where the fog is thick.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin had an idea, and the runic dragon stirred along the chains, heading deeper into the area.

As the fog dissipated, the situation inside became clear.

It was an enormous cauldron.

The original color is no longer visible, and it is covered with rust. It has four ears, each with a chain threaded through it, suspending it there.

In other words.

There are three other giant pillars in this space, each with a chain attached to it.

Chen Lin used his Heavenly Eye to observe carefully.

Then, I released my senses and scanned continuously.

No abnormalities were found. Perhaps because too much time had passed, the giant cauldron had completely lost any energy fluctuations, and no patterns could be seen on its surface.

It seems to have been abandoned long ago.

But Chen Lin was still not careless.

He didn't go down to check what was inside the cauldron. Instead, he flicked his finger, and the crystal needle shot towards the chains below.

Although the crystal needle was so thin as to be invisible, it pierced through the massive chain instantly after it struck it.

The chain snapped instantly.

A deafening crashing sound echoed through the space, and the giant cauldron shook violently.

Don't do it again and again.

Chen Lin retrieved the crystal needle and, after several attempts, severed the remaining three chains.

A loud bang.

The giant cauldron fell to the ground.

The entire space suddenly shook, and the swirling mist quickly gathered towards the center, eventually being swallowed up by something and entering the giant cauldron.

Chen Lin frowned.

It seems there's some evil creature inside the giant cauldron, and it's still alive.

However, after the fog was swallowed up, the entire space became clear, revealing a huge enclosed space with a massive pillar on each side.

Below were grooves and ravines containing a layer of dark red substance.

These ravines meander and twist, forming one pattern after another, and the spot where the giant cauldron fell is the very center of all the patterns.

There is a lotus-shaped platform there, and the giant cauldron is in the center of the petals.

undoubtedly.

This used to be a huge formation.

It's not hard to guess what the effect will be: either to overcome tribulation or achieve immortality, or to break through realms or heal injuries. But no matter what the effect is, this formation is definitely not the righteous path.

I waited for a while.

There was no movement inside the giant cauldron.

Chen Lin flicked his fingers repeatedly, and beams of Soul-Destroying Finger light shot out, sweeping across the interior of the giant cauldron.

Buzz!
The giant cauldron finally broke its silence and began to tremble continuously.

Crimson mist emanated from within once more, giving rise to a violent aura.

But his breathing was very unstable.

As the Soul-Destroying Finger attack weakened, it eventually stopped moving altogether.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

Instead of going down to check, he activated the runes to conjure a group of tiny figures, which pulled the giant cauldron up from the lotus petals and then turned it upside down.

Now it's clear.

Inside was a huge, heart-shaped object, but it was shriveled up, along with the same dark red substance found in the ravine.

It should be a product of dried blood.

Chen Lin controlled the rune figure to fly into the cauldron and first slashed at the heart. There was no resistance, which meant that it was indeed completely destroyed.

When he entered, the other party was probably already exhausted, with only a little bit of energy left.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been wiped out so easily.

But whether the heart belonged to Naguru or not, Chen Lin had no way of knowing.

He was somewhat disappointed.

There was no star passage here, nor a single treasure; it was a wasted trip.

If there's no passage here, then it's unlikely to be anywhere else. We've already searched all the suspicious places. Ultimately, the only way out, besides breaking the seal at the node, is through the River of Rules.

Chen Lin shook his head.

The little figure manipulated the giant cauldron to flip it over and place it upside down on the ground, then condensed a blue enchantress to destroy all the ravines.

This time, he leaped and landed.

After circling around the space, Chen Lin saw a lot of bone fragments.

There are also some treasures that have lost their spiritual essence.

They even found a few storage treasures.

However, over time, it had become unusable, and the crimson mist had further eroded the storage artifact, causing its internal space to collapse, making it impossible to retrieve anything.

Suddenly, Chen Lin's gaze fell on the ravine not far away.

He leaped over.

They pulled out a flower-shaped treasure that had been eroded beyond recognition.

Although it was shattered into pieces, he could still tell at a glance that it was Ji Yueqing's communication artifact. The one he had given her before was a copy made from the energy of this artifact.

"Ugh!"

He sighed softly.

Chen Lin put the flowers into the jade box, glanced at it again, but couldn't find any remains.

Without further delay, he flew to the giant cauldron.

The blue rose flickered back and forth, slicing the entire cauldron into pieces, and turning everything inside into dust.

To prevent the resurgence of evil gods.

"Ok?"

Just as Chen Lin was about to stop, something caught his eye.

He immediately released the rune doll, which fiddled with the dust for a few moments before pulling the object out.

It was a box that was only half the size of a palm.

When the rune figure brought the box to him, Chen Lin looked at it and saw that there wasn't a single mark on it, so he couldn't help but look expectant.

This box, capable of withstanding the blue rose, must be a high-dimensional item.

And anything that can be contained in this thing must be of good quality.

Without touching it with his hands, Chen Lin released his magic power and tried to open the box.

No obstacles were encountered.

The lid was easily lifted, revealing two items.

It was about the size of a finger, completely black, and looked like a key.

The other is a round ball the size of a pigeon egg.

This object is dark red and contains peculiar fluctuations. It seems to be the inner core of some kind of creature, or perhaps a crystal.

Besides.

At the bottom of the box, there was also a roll of paper that looked unusual.

Chen Lin sensed it.

After thinking for a moment, I decided not to check directly, but instead put the lid back on and returned to the pillar I had come from.

Observe intently for a moment.

With a flick of the crystal needle at a certain spot, a gray-white light flashed, and ripples spread across the space.

Upon seeing this.

Chen Lin released a magic character, opening a crack in the ripples. After sensing nothing was there again, he flew into it.

bottom of the lake.

Chen Ling'er was cautiously observing her surroundings.

The space rippled, and a figure appeared.

"Daddy."

Upon seeing Chen Lin, she immediately showed joy and went forward to check on him with concern.

"I am fine."

Chen Lin waved his hand and re-fused with his physical body.

I stretched my body a bit.

He withdrew from worldly affairs and said, "Let's go, there's nothing more to see here."

Several months later.

After traveling to several places, the two arrived at a broken interface.

"This is it."

Chen Lin held a piece of silk in his hand, sensed it for a moment, and said.

"This is a fragment of the Immortal Realm. Could it be that Gurochi is a cultivator from the Immortal Realm?"

Looking around at the scene, Chen Ling'er was somewhat puzzled.

"Who knows?"

Chen Lin unrolled the paper, revealing lines that constantly changed, outlining different patterns and exuding the same atmosphere as this place.

Moreover, although the paper rolls look very small, the patterns they form have an illusionary effect, magnifying the patterns countless times.

It looks incredibly clear.

He channeled his soul power, accelerating the changes in the lines.

Then freeze-frame.

"Look, this pattern is exactly what this place is like, with its mountains, rivers, and even that dilapidated floating city. It's exactly the same."

"That's true."

Chen Ling'er clicked her tongue in amazement.

"This method of recording information is truly ingenious. When I have time, I will make one myself and include the entire Seven Star Realm. That would be very interesting."

"Let's talk about it when you reach the position of Overlord."

Chen Lin shattered the other party's illusions.

Creating such a precise map of the illusion is not something that can be accomplished by ordinary means; replicating the scene in every corner requires extremely strong perception.

One must travel through all things in spirit and control heaven and earth.

This scroll only contains a fragment of the Immortal Realm, so the difficulty isn't too great. To replicate an entire realm, only a Sovereign could accomplish it.

Chen Ling'er pouted.

She only did this in front of Chen Lin. In front of others, especially in the eyes of the disciples of Kaiyuan Sect, she was a high and mighty ancestor-level figure.

Moreover, it is extremely strict.

Almost none of her disciples dared to breathe heavily in front of her.

Chen Lin rolled up the paper.

"This is the place. Let's go to the location marked on the map first and see if we can find what you're talking about. Then we'll search through all the fragments of the Immortal Realm to look for traces of your mother and see if she's still alive."

Chen Ling'er's body trembled.

Back then, she had searched everywhere related to her mother, but couldn't find any clues. So many years have passed, and she has gradually let it go.

But now that Chen Lin has brought it up, she can't help but feel hopeful again.

"It's just a try. Don't have too high expectations. Birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural course of life. Cultivators are no exception to this rule. Don't be too attached to it."

Chen Lin offered a word of comfort.

Then it transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the distance.
