I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2370 The Strange Change at Tiger Hill Goose Feather Well

Another month has passed.

Unable to wait for Lu Ming to return, Chen Lin told Fatty Hu and left Deer Island with Hong Chen and the others.

The new shoots remain on the island.

First, they went to Wudaopo to find Dugu Batian, stayed for a few days, and discussed the invasion of Lushi Island by the strange kingdom. Then they went to Shattered Star Ring.

I mainly inquired about Li Wuxiang.

Then they headed straight for Kashima.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Chen Lin was flying through the void when he suddenly frowned and stopped abruptly.

At this moment, his body trembled incessantly, his muscles and bones seemed to be kneaded by an invisible giant hand, and his soul was violently shaken.

This change shocked Chen Lin immensely. While mobilizing his internal energy to resist it, he quickly released his senses to investigate the source of the abnormal attack.

But nothing was found.

His face darkened, and he could only focus on defense and deal with his physical problems first.

It was discovered immediately.

This inexplicably appearing power immediately crumbled upon encountering that characteristic.

He felt a sense of relief.

After activating that property and circulating it throughout the body, the body immediately returned to normal.

Just as he was about to release his senses again, Chen Lin's expression suddenly changed.

He rolled up his sleeves.

A small black bird was revealed.

"What's wrong, Master?"

The little bird shook its head and looked at Chen Lin with a puzzled expression.

They soon realized something was wrong.

A jolt went up from Chen Lin's wrist, but it didn't jump very high, and floated wobbly in front of Chen Lin.

"What happened? How did I turn into a bird?"

The little white snake let out a terrified cry.

Runes flickered on Chen Lin's body, and the Seven Star Spoon glowed faintly. He asked in a deep voice, "How do you feel?"

"no feeling."

The little white snake shook its head repeatedly.

"If Master hadn't rolled up his sleeves, I wouldn't have known what happened. What's going on? Did that King-level monster come after us?"

Chen Lin frowned even more deeply.

Raise your hand.

The Soul-Destroying Finger strikes the opponent with ghostly light.

However, it only weakened the opponent's eerie aura and had no other effect. Moreover, while the eerie aura was weakened, the soul's essence was also damaged, and it dared not continue to attack.

"Do not move."

Chen Lin gave the order.

Next, open the Jade Pendant and check its contents.

They discovered that the three inside, including Hongchen, had also turned into birds, staring at each other in terror.

Even Sun Caiyi's soul was not spared.

This suggests that the power of the rules does not only affect the physical body, but also the soul, and its level exceeds the original boundary. The claim that the strange creatures come from outside has some credibility.

Chen Lin had a sudden thought.

The three of them, including Puda, appeared outside at the same time.

Why didn't Sun Caiyi call out? The other person's soul wasn't very stable yet; if something unexpected happened after they came out...
There is a danger of the soul being scattered.
"My lord, is it that the Heavenly King of Ten Thousand Saints who has manifested himself still alive? How come we have all turned into his appearance?"

"Master, are you alright?"

Puda and Hongchen spoke at the same time.

After observing them for a while, Chen Lin confirmed that although these people had undergone physical changes, their minds were still relatively clear, and his expression relaxed slightly.

“I was also affected, but I didn’t deform.”

I gave an explanation.

Chen Lin then asked, "Try it yourself and see if your own energy changes, and whether you can still use your supernatural powers and secret techniques."

Puda was the first to respond.

"The energy has been tainted by a strange aura, rendering ordinary methods ineffective. Only the Golden Warrior Clan's innate abilities are usable, but even those abilities have become somewhat abnormal."

"My destiny character has little impact."

Hongchen simply said.

Chen Lin then looked at the little white snake and Su Er.

"My talent is still usable, but my bloodline power has become impure, and its power will definitely be affected."

Suer answered while conducting the experiment.

Me too.

The little white snake spoke up in frustration. Her abilities mainly relied on manipulating the emotions of her enemies, but now that she was tainted with a strange aura, it was hard to say how effective it would be.

Chen Lin did not speak.

He observed the group for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, making sure they were not affected mentally, before checking them one by one.

After a lot of trouble.

He gave up with a gloomy expression.

The Soul-Destroying Finger and its properties can dispel the strange rules on the individuals, but in doing so, their soul essence is also damaged and cannot be separated from them individually.

The group also took steps to save themselves.

However, neither the fate symbol of the mortal world nor the extraordinary bloodline power of Suer could restore his form.

"My lord, shall we return to Deer Island and check on the situation there?"

Suer made a suggestion.

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

We definitely need to go and check to determine if this abnormality only affects a few of them, or if everyone is affected.

A targeted solution is needed.

However, when Chen Lin entered the Zodiac Secret Realm and intended to return to Deer Island, he found that he could not establish a connection with the other side.

Can not go back!

He hasn't yet obtained the inheritance of the big black dog, and the Zodiac Rooster area is independent, which means he's trapped in a secret realm.

Chen Lin's face was gloomy.

There are two possibilities in this situation.

One reason is that he was affected by a strange aura, which made him unable to conform to the rules of the zodiac beasts and lost his ability to go out.

However, this is unlikely.

If that's the case, then he shouldn't even be able to get in.

and so.

Most likely, something went wrong on Kashima Island.

"Master, what should we do?"

The little white snake was a little nervous.

She worried that if she continued to resemble this strange creature, Chen Lin would dislike her.

"Don't rush."

Chen Lin checked his body.

He stroked his chin and said, "Since I didn't turn into a bird, it means that the strange rule of that god-king is not unbreakable. I will study the countermeasures slowly and then I will naturally turn you back."

"Now?"

"We need to first obtain the inheritance of the Dog zodiac sign, and see if other areas can make contact with the outside world. If we are trapped here, that would be the biggest problem."

I offered some words of comfort.

Chen Lin took out the card of the big black dog.

He now has no shortage of colorful crystal marrow, and even more advanced beauty finger petal juice, so activating the inheritance imprint should not be a problem.

We arrived at the boundary of the region.

He dripped the colorful crystal essence onto the card and began to quietly contemplate it.

However, to prevent any unexpected changes, Chen Lin put the little white snake and others into the Jade Pendant in the Cave Heaven, and then sealed the jade pendant completely using a secret technique.

three days later.

Chen Lin put away his childlike innocence.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

The inheritance was acquired smoothly, but the inheritance obtained had nothing to do with the black dog's devouring ability.

It's called 'dog bark' instead.

The effect is hatred, unwillingness to listen, and a deep-seated rejection.

It's still a sound-based genre.

Without delay, Chen Lin attempted to enter the area of ​​the Dog zodiac sign. After successfully passing through the barrier, he moved on to the area of ​​the Ox zodiac sign and tried to return to reality.

His figure flashed.

It has already appeared in the void outside Wudaopo.

Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as we can get out, that's fine. If we get trapped in the secret realm, that would be a huge problem.

This incident also served as a wake-up call for him.

While the Zodiac Secret Realm is useful, it shouldn't be used too often, nor should you stay inside for too long. It should only be used as a transit point at crucial moments.

I thought about it.

Chen Lin transformed into a beam of light and headed to Wudaopo once again.

The Dugu family.

Looking at the few small black birds that Chen Lin released, Dugu Batian's expression became unusually solemn.

"So this is the method of the Heavenly Saints Manifesting God King? It is indeed troublesome. I have no ability to resolve it. I'm afraid even a mid-level ruler cannot do it."

I tried it a few times.

Dugu Batian shook his head and spoke.

And immediately had Chen Lin put the little bird away.

"This thing is too evil. Don't bring it out in my family again. You should leave now."

Chen Lin was speechless.

But the other party had valid reasons for being wary, so he couldn't say anything and could only cup his hands in farewell.

"You can try asking the Soul Academy. Don't bother going back to Kashima. It would take at least ten or eight years to get there from here, and by then it will be too late."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Chen Lin thanked him and flew away from Wudaopo.

He had originally wanted the other party to help hire people to go to Kashima to gather information, but now he couldn't ask anymore. He could only let Xinya fend for herself and hope that Lu Ming could resolve the crisis on Kashima.

He cannot go back on his own.

As Dugu Batian said, going back would take at least several years, which would be too late and would also delay his own plans. Moreover, if the God King of the Myriad Saints of the Capital had not died, going back would only be walking into a trap.

After pondering in the void for a while, Chen Lin finally went to the Shattered Star Ring, took out a few pieces of iridescent crystal, and asked Su Wanyi to help hire people to go to Deer Island to investigate the situation.

He has no shortage of variegated crystals, so let's just leave him with a glimmer of hope.

Processing complete.

Chen Lin purchased another powerful sealing talisman and sealed the Jade Pendant of the Cave Heaven once again.

I set off alone.

There are no spring, autumn, winter, or summer in the void, nor is there sunrise or sunset. Chen Lin suppressed all distracting thoughts and cultivated while flying away.

After spending thirty years, we finally arrived near Tiger Hill.

The hardships along the way are beyond what outsiders can understand.

Chen Lin deeply understood how difficult it was to survive in the void, and traveling was an extremely dangerous affair. Even with his strength, he had almost lost his life several times.

The influence of the Zodiac Secret Realm has been amplified once again.

So as soon as he arrived, he immediately set a destination in the secret realm to avoid having to start the journey all over again if he accidentally entered it.

It flew away for another month.

From afar, Chen Lin saw a dark shadow floating in the void, looking like a reclining giant tiger, giving people a sense of imposing power without anger.

However, the area is not large.

Compared to Kashima, it's tiny.

Chen Lin observed for a while but did not find anyone coming or going. Moreover, there was strange energy interference on Tiger Hill, making it impossible to perceive the specific situation above.

So he first circled around it before slowly getting closer.

They reached within a thousand feet.

Tian Kai's vision finally revealed the scene above the island: a huge vine covered the entire back of the tiger, neatly arranged, starting from the tiger's head and extending all the way to its tail.

Wind chimes were hanging on it.

A gentle breeze blows.

A series of pleasant bell sounds came from above.

Finding nothing unusual, Chen Lin didn't linger any longer and flew up to Tiger Hill.

Not sensing any danger from below, they slowly descended.

At this moment, he finally saw clearly that the so-called Everlasting Vine was no different from the one he had seen in the Shadow Scholar's Secret Realm, except that it was countless times larger and covered with wind chimes.

"One, two, three, four, five..."

Chen Lin counted them; there were several hundred in total.

However, this number is extremely small compared to the Star Ruins and even the entire cultivation world, indicating that very few cultivators are willing to come here to form contracts.

Or.

Few lovers can create a wind chime.

For the two parties to successfully create the Eternal Love Bell, they must truly love each other; at least at the moment of its creation, they must both love only each other.

I glanced at it.

The island was deserted, and no one occupied it. If one did not know the situation of Tiger Hill, one would think it was a wasteland.

Chen Lin arrived at the 'Tiger Head'.

Begin by observing the vines and wind chimes from the beginning, and focus your attention on sensing their aura.

Then I discovered...

The numbers on the Long Love Bell are not consecutive.

One, two, no three, then four, five, six, seven, and no eight.

It's been missing quite a bit, though, on and off.

Soon they arrived at the sixteenth wind chime.

The wind chimes are still there.

Chen Lin stood below, looking up at the view.

The wind chimes here are not all the same; not only are the numbers different, but their colors, sizes, and shapes also vary to some extent.

The wind chime in front of us, number sixteen, is noticeably smaller than the ones on either side.

The color is grayish-white, with colorful patterns on it.

I watched for a while.

Chen Lin reached out and gently touched the wind chime. His heart skipped a beat, as if he were touching not the wind chime, but the cheek of his beloved.

He unconsciously began to stroke it.

"Fellow Daoist is also a person of deep feelings!"

Just as Chen Lin was immersed in the mood of the wind chimes, a voice full of vicissitudes suddenly rang out, and then a figure in white landed on Tiger Hill.

Chen Lin suddenly woke up.

I turned my head and looked over there.

A handsome middle-aged man was smiling at him. His clothes were old, but he gave off a charming and elegant air, and a strange sense of 'goodwill' that made him feel no sense of wariness.

"My name is Bai Yujing. How shall I address you, fellow Daoist?"

"Lin Feiyu".

Chen Lin gave a false name.

Bai Yujing shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face.

Ignoring Chen Lin, she turned and walked towards the second wind chime, staring blankly into space.

Upon seeing this.

Chen Lin knew that the other party had seen through his use of a false name, which was why he suddenly became cold. This ability was not unusual among high-level cultivators. Back then, Huang Yan could not only see through lies, but also call out his true identity.

But he didn't care.

We've only met by chance; as long as the other party doesn't attack without reason, it's fine.

Next.

Chen Lin looked through the remaining wind chimes, then returned to number sixteen and pondered how to resolve the issue.

It's not just about fulfilling Nana's contract; leaving behind such a rule-related object that's connected to him will only cause him trouble sooner or later.

That's why he came here as his first stop.

In his future cultivation plan, he intends to sever all ties between himself and others and focus all his efforts on becoming a master. This issue must be resolved to prevent it from affecting him during his tribulation.

Bai Yujing was still in a daze.

Chen Lin glanced at the other party, then activated his natal rune, condensing a blue enchantress.

It scratched the wind chime.

No response.

The dagger pierced through the blade as if it were not a real object.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

Then it released more magic characters to continue its attempts to cause destruction.

After that failed.

They also used techniques such as the Soul-Destroying Finger and the True Fire of the Sun.

The final result is the same: no matter what kind of energy it is, it cannot actually touch the bell, let alone destroy it.

It seems.

This love bell exists somewhere between illusion and reality.

You can only truly touch love when you experience it; at other times you can only look at it but cannot touch it.

However, Chen Lin was not surprised.

If this item could be easily neutralized, it wouldn't be one of the top rare treasures in the Star Ruins.

He didn't want to rely on these methods, but rather on the Passionate Sword Technique and its special properties. However, since there was an observer present, he didn't want to expose himself and planned to wait until the other party left before making any decisions.

This wait lasted for a month.

Bai Yujing seemed to be frozen in place, not moving an inch.

Chen Lin was speechless.

Another month passed, and the other party still didn't move.

He decided to stop waiting and flew away, taking out the map Zhao Qingchuan had presented, and began to investigate the location of the treasure's entrance.

After months of exploration, Chen Lin arrived at a natural scenic spot.

As far as the eye could see, countless snow-white, feather-like luminous objects danced up and down, reaching the endless sky above and penetrating deep into a chaotic energy zone below.

But it is not disordered.

The whole thing is a huge cylinder, and no matter how the luminous object flies around, it will not leave this area.

There's a fitting name for this place: Goose Feather Well.

Chen Lin recalled records about this place in his mind.

It is said to be extremely dangerous, even a supreme being risks perishing if they enter. Moreover, the luminous objects inside are merely condensed energy, have no special function, and cannot be brought out.

It is a notoriously useless place.

The treasure entrance is actually inside here?

Chen Lin took out the map again and verified it repeatedly. Finally, he confirmed that he had not made a mistake. According to the markings on the map, this was the place.

No other verification methods are needed.

Simply compare the location and distance of Tiger Hill, and they will match.

Chen Lin hesitated whether or not to go in.

It's a place even the rulers dare not easily enter; it's too dangerous for him to go in. That characteristic is indeed very strong, but it's not invincible. Moreover, even if the soul is immortal, it doesn't mean that one is fearless.

Sealing, imprisoning treasures, and binding them with rules.

There are countless bizarre methods in the cultivation world, and many situations can make life worse than death.

"Let's wait a little longer."

After weighing the options, Chen Lin decided not to take the risk.

Regardless of whether the treasure is real or whether there are any secret codes inside, even if there are, they can only be used during the Heavenly Trial, so there's no rush for now.

Anyway, with the Zodiac Secret Realm, you can come anytime, anywhere.

It's not too late to explore again once we've strengthened our capabilities.

Make a decision.

Chen Lin then flew away and returned to Tiger Hill once again.

really.

Bai Yujing has already left.

He re-examined the entire hill, stood under wind chime number sixteen, released a wisp of soul containing that characteristic, and attempted to enter the wind chime.

This time it worked.

Instead of passing through it, I sensed the presence of the wind chimes.

To Chen Lin's disappointment, that characteristic itself was not destructive to the wind chimes, and he had no way to use it, so sensing the presence of the wind chimes was useless.

No way.

Take back the divided soul.

Nana's image appeared in his mind, and he tried to activate the Passionate Sword Technique.

His eyes lit up immediately.

The Burning Passion Sword Technique was actually activated successfully.

A profound sword intent emerged from Chen Lin, condensing into a faint sword aura.

No hesitation.

Chen Lin looked at the wind chimes and slashed out with his sword!
