I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2328 News about Sun Caiyi
The energy in the shattered immortal realm is extremely violent; only a small portion of the area is suitable for survival, while most areas are devoid of life.

of course.

It has no impact on the father and daughter.

After determining the location, they arrived at their destination after a few quick trips.

It is a floating fairy city that is missing a small part.

To Chen Lin's dismay, the courtyard they were looking for was located in the damaged part of the Immortal City, with only a corner remaining and only half a room.

Chen Ling'er walked around the perimeter for a while, then shook her head when she returned.

"It must have been obliterated when the interface crashed; there wasn't a trace left."

"That means we weren't meant to be."

Chen Lin didn't care.

According to the map, there is a secret entrance here, inside which lies a magical treasure.

What it is was not mentioned.

He simply felt that the map was extraordinary and that the treasure it pointed to must be something special, so he came to take a look.

Since we can't find it, there's no need to waste any more time.

"Pity."

Chen Ling'er was very enthusiastic about treasure hunting, so she was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

But he immediately urged, "In that case, let's begin the search. Let's go to the place where my mother and aunt used to live, it's not far from here."

Chen Lin nodded.

Instead of acting immediately, he walked to the remaining half of the bookshelf in the corner and picked up the scattered books to examine them.

Then I checked the drawers.

Finally, he looked down at the ground and his gaze fell on a notebook.

Raised eyebrows.

I took it in my hands and slowly flipped through it.

Chen Ling'er also joined in.

This notebook is the best-preserved item in the room, without a single scratch, and is clearly not an ordinary spirit paper.

"The material is the same as the map."

Chen Lin offered his comments.

"what."

After reading a page, he couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

"He even has the habit of keeping a diary? That's quite rare among cultivators."

The notebook turned out to be a diary, which recorded the daily life of a cultivator. However, it was not detailed; only some important events were recorded.

But it's also quite surprising.

To prevent their secrets from being revealed, cultivators try their best to keep them hidden. Some even dare not show their advancement in cultivation level and use concealing treasures to eliminate their aura.

Slowly flip through the pages.

The last page.

"July 13th, sunny. Today is an important day. Senior Sister Gu is about to break through to the True Immortal Realm. If she succeeds, we will never have the chance to meet again."

I really don't want her to succeed!

"Do not."

"How could I be so selfish? I should wish my senior sister success."

"But that's what I really think, and I can't control it."

"And there's Junior Sister Qi."

"My junior sister's body is so pure, I must have her."

"How could I think like this? No, no, no, this isn't me. I'm not like this. Damn it, who's controlling me? Get out of my body right now!"

……

"Looks like I need to take action."

"My senior sister is mine, and my junior sister is mine too. I want to be with them forever, to go to the legendary Star Ruins together, to find that place, so that I can..."

The writing stopped abruptly.

Chen Lin pondered for a moment, then closed the note and handed it to Chen Ling'er.

"There were actually three people in Gu Luoqi: Senior Sister Gu and Junior Sister Qi. The one who wrote the diary was the man surnamed Luo. This man is shameless; he actually wanted to..."

Chen Ling'er offered her opinion.

But as she spoke, she realized something was wrong, secretly glanced at Chen Lin, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

Her father had a ton of women, far more extravagant than Luo's.

Chen Lin ignored his daughter.

He pondered the contents of the last page, which mentioned Star Ruins, meaning that there were records of Star Ruins in this broken immortal realm back then.

Logically speaking, the Immortal Realm is also considered a 'lower realm,' so it's highly unlikely that any high-ranking cultivators would come here.

So who could it be?

And could she be involved with him?
After thinking for a while without finding a solution, Chen Lin suppressed his questions.

He pointed to the note in Chen Ling'er's hand.

"The material of this paper is somewhat similar to the blank book. Although it is of slightly lower grade, it is still extraordinary. It is just that it is used as ordinary paper."

"Didn't you want to draw a boundary map? You can come and try refining it."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Chen Ling'er smiled and put away the journal.

Then she urged Chen Lin again to go find her mother.

"No need for that."

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Lin unleashed countless runes that vanished into the void.

Then he sat upright in the chair and focused his mind on sensing.

"Father can now create thousands of clones with his divine sense, covering the entire Immortal Realm?"

Chen Ling'er's eyes lit up.

Although the Immortal Realm is shattered, it was once the center of the Lower Realm, and it was extremely vast.

Moreover, there is an interface barrier here, which suppresses high-dimensional life forms like them. Even top-tier eternal powerhouses cannot cover the entire interface with their divine sense.

Furthermore.

To explore past events, it is not enough to simply travel in one's mind; one must be able to peer into the memories of living beings and peruse ancient texts from various places.

It's extremely difficult.

"hehe."

Chen Lin smiled.

He said with a hint of smugness, "Don't you know who your father is? He's the universally acknowledged chosen one. A mere trick like this is nothing to me."

Chen Ling'er nodded repeatedly.

"Father is the best, can you teach me?"

"You."

"It's not even close."

"I'm merging my soul into the runes. Each rune is an avatar, and it can act on its own as instructed without my personal control." "However, to achieve this, the soul level requirement is extremely high; it requires soul release."

"Oh."

Chen Ling'er responded with an "oh".

After hesitating for a moment, I couldn't help but ask again.

"Father, do you think I have any hope of successfully rescuing the soul?"

"Disaster."

"It's difficult."

Chen Lin was multitasking, sensing the rune clones scattered throughout all the fragments of the immortal realm while explaining.

"The reason I was able to successfully exorcise your soul is mainly because your soul is special. You are not a soul smuggler, so you are inherently at a disadvantage."

"In that case..."

"If you want to successfully exorcise the soul, you need to cultivate your soul to the Dominator level, otherwise you will definitely not be able to withstand the backlash."

"But if one can reach the Dominator level, one can directly advance to the next realm; there's no need to take any more risks."

In short.

"I don't recommend you take the path of soul-slaying."

"But advancing to the position of Sovereign is too elusive. I used to think my aptitude was pretty good, but as I've gained more experience, I've realized it's just average."

"I'm afraid there's no hope of becoming a ruler."

Chen Ling'er said helplessly.

"It is indeed quite difficult!"

Chen Lin sighed.

It wasn't just because of his daughter, but also because of his own uncertainty about the future.

His situation is more complicated. He doesn't know if he can successfully separate himself from Liu Ergou. If he can't, it will be even more difficult for him to advance to the position of Dominator.

"So if I have the chance, I would still like to try to exorcise the soul."

"in addition."

“My daughter also plans to sever her ego. Although her ego is a different kind of clone, merging with it always feels uncomfortable. Severing it is purer.”

"Have you made up your mind?"

Chen Lin pondered for a moment and then asked.

"Ah."

Hearing his daughter's answer, Chen Lin stopped worrying.

He took out a jade slip from his storage ring and entered information about the Eight Gates Summoning Lock Technique and the Flower Shifting and Grafting Technique.

Along with some materials, they were handed to Chen Ling'er.

He said in a deep voice, "The Soul-Slaying Technique is extremely dangerous and requires a high degree of safety. You must not act rashly without being fully prepared. Moreover, both of these secret techniques have flaws. Don't rush to use them. After we enter the Star Ruins, I will help you find something more suitable."

"Thank you, Father!"

Chen Ling'er happily accepted it and immediately began to study it.

The room became quiet.

Shake.

Several months have passed quickly.

The rune figures flew back one by one.

After another ten days or so, all the runes returned, providing feedback one by one.

to be frank.

Chen Lin didn't hold out any hope. After all, Sun Caiyi had been missing for nearly ten thousand years. Given her abilities, even if she hadn't died back then, her lifespan would have ended long ago.

However, an unexpected situation arose.

According to feedback from a rune clone that went to explore the edge fragments, a female cultivator named Sun Caiyi appeared five thousand years ago, and her appearance was that of Chen Ling'er's mother.

"They were still alive five thousand years ago!"

Upon hearing this news, Chen Ling'er trembled with excitement.

He urged hastily, "Father, let's go take a look, quick!"

Chen Lin was also somewhat excited.

Although the feedback was limited and lacked specific details, the fact that it had lived for over five thousand years meant that its cultivation had at least reached the Refinement of Emptiness Realm, and theoretically, the Refinement of Emptiness Realm was capable of longevity.

It's not impossible that he's still alive today.

"go!"

He stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and disappeared from the room with Chen Ling'er.

next moment.

They appeared beneath a massive mountain.

The entire mountain peak was covered with buildings, which was the headquarters of a sect called Qianlin Sect. It looked quite large, and Yuan cultivators were constantly flying away.

"Sect Leader, come out and see me!"

Chen Lin spoke calmly.

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried an irresistible force, reaching everyone's ears.

Inside the main hall of the Qianlin Sect.

The sect leader of the Void Immortal Realm was discussing matters with a group of elders when his expression suddenly changed, and his body involuntarily flew out of the hall.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment.

They wanted to follow, but were shocked to find that, despite not being bound by energy, they were unable to move an inch.

"Greetings, senior!"

The sect leader of Qianlin Sect appeared outside the mountain gate and bowed deeply to Chen Lin.

He tentatively asked, "I wonder what business you have with me, senior? If it is within my power, I will do everything in my power, even at the cost of my life!"

"No need to panic."

Chen Lin flicked his hand.

Sun Caiyi's figure appeared out of thin air.

"Do you know this woman?"

The sect leader took a look.

He then respectfully replied, "Reporting to senior, this woman... oh no, this fairy, I have indeed seen her before. About five thousand years ago, our sect suffered a great calamity and its members were reduced to few. So we recruited rogue cultivators to join us, and this fairy was one of them."

"What was her name, and what was her cultivation level at the time?"

Chen Lin asked again.

"Reporting to Senior, this fairy is named Sun Caiyi. She has the cultivation of the Refining Void Realm, but there seems to be something wrong with her cultivation level. She served as an outer sect steward in the sect, but she suddenly disappeared not long afterward."

Didn't she leave behind a soul lamp?

"No."

The sect leader gently shook his head.

"This fairy's cultivation level is relatively low, and she is a recruited rogue cultivator, so she can only serve as an outer sect member. Outer sect members are not required to leave soul lamps in the Soul Lamp Hall, and she has not asked for it herself."

Chen Lin and Chen Ling'er exchanged a glance.

I didn't ask any further questions.

His figure vanished into thin air.
