I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chen Lin was also drawn to the glow of the sunset.

He immediately turned his gaze to the crack, but could not see what was emitting the light.

"It's a treasure chest."

Ruan Qingxi's voice rang in Chen Lin's ears.

"This treasure chest is incredibly dazzling, yet it's like an illusion. Without special means, you can't even touch it. It's countless times higher in level than ordinary treasure chests."

"Does the senior have a way to collect it?"

Chen Lin kept an eye on things while sending a telepathic message.

He had never seen the exquisite treasure chest before. Although he had imagined how to retrieve it countless times, it was all just imagination, and he did not know the specifics.

At the same time, I also wanted to test the other party's attitude.

"not sure."

Ruan Qingxi answered telepathically.

He then added, "You must have mastered forbidden power, right? You can give it a try. I'll fully cooperate with you this time, but the next time a rare treasure chest appears, you'll have to cooperate with me to fight for it."

"can."

Chen Lin agreed without hesitation.

And they gained some confidence.

The other party could tell that he had mastered forbidden power, so they must be very familiar with this power and probably able to take the exquisite treasure chest. Otherwise, there would be no need for a Sovereign-level expert to exchange cooperation with him, or even mention the willow branch.

"Then get ready."

"When the treasure chest appears, I will hold off the others for one breath. Remember, only one breath. There are many strong people here, and this is all I can do."

"We've already made an agreement."

"If you can't collect it within this time, that's your problem. Next time a treasure chest appears, you still have to keep your promise and collect it for me."

Chen Lin took a deep breath.

He nodded slightly.

"Then let's agree as you wish, senior. But if you can't even hold out for a single breath, you'll still have to collect it for me next time."

"no problem."

The two quickly reached an agreement.

Chen Lin seized the opportunity, activated the coconut-shaped spiritual fruit, and unleashed his innate abilities.

However, the exquisite treasure chest is of such a high level that even the lines of fate cannot be displayed, let alone used for divination or modification.

Left with no other choice.

He had no choice but to abandon the idea of ​​cheating, gripped the Xuanjin Spear tightly, and stared intently at the increasingly bright glow of the sunset.

It wasn't just him.

The cultivators on both sides of the cliff were all focused and eager to try.

"Gentlemen."

A hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

It was a man wearing a bright red cloak, holding a dark red square object in his hand. The object had a very complex structure, and it was impossible to tell what kind of magical artifact it was.

He looked around.

He continued, "I am Elder Ge Yuye of the Wizarding Council. This exquisite treasure chest is for our Wizarding Council. Please give me face and do not compete with me for it, so as not to hurt our harmony."

This statement came out.

Everyone's expression changed.

This area belongs to the River of Hope, where the Wizard Council is the absolute ruler, and the other party, as an elder of the council, must also be a dominant power.

While it's impossible to kill and plunder here, once you leave, you'll face the behemoth that is the Wizard Council.

No one dares to ignore it.

But some people are not afraid of the pressure from the other party's reputation.

Immediately, a young man sneered, "Elder Rain Night, you have quite the airs. Could it be that your Wizard Council has already unified Star Ruins? A bunch of heretics dare to speak so arrogantly, it's simply laughable."

Ge Yuye was stunned.

He expected some people to object, but he didn't expect them to be so sharp.

Not only did they disregard him, they also disregarded the Wizarding Council, showing absolutely no respect for him.

"You look quite imposing, would you dare to state your name?"

"Humph."

The young man curled his lip.

"What can you do after I state my name? I am Ning Feng, the fourth prince of the Tianlong Kingdom. Use whatever means you have."

Chen Lin looked completely bewildered.

He seemed to have never heard of the name Tianlong Kingdom.

There are such forces in the lower realms, but I've never heard anyone mention them in the Star Ruins, nor have I seen any records of them. However, judging from their arrogant demeanor, they must not be an ordinary force.

He glanced at the others.

Most people were just as bewildered as he was, but some people did react.

Ge Yuye's expression changed drastically.

For quite a while.

He then spoke in a deep voice: "I didn't expect the Tianlong Kingdom to send people out as well. Then let's see who has the best skills. It is said that your country's princes are all dragons among men. Let us ordinary people open our eyes and witness the demeanor of the Fourth Prince."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

The fourth prince said calmly.

This incident shattered Ge Yuye's idea of ​​using her status to suppress others, but the pressure on the others became even greater.

Chen Lin couldn't help but glance at Ruan Qingxi.

The Wizard Council is already a powerful force, just like the Eight Trees, or even stronger, but it seems to be inferior to the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom. It's unclear whether the other side would dare to make a move.

Ruan Qingxi remained expressionless.

Upon seeing this.

Chen Lin stopped thinking about it.

No matter who he is or how powerful his forces are, he has to snatch this exquisite treasure chest. Besides, he has already offended the old man in the gray crow, so it won't make a difference if he offends another ruler.

Time passed little by little.

The glow of the sunset continued to grow brighter, but the exquisite treasure chest still hadn't appeared.

"Something doesn't seem right?"

Fourth Prince Ning Feng frowned and glanced sideways at a woman in blue opposite him.

"Has Princess Jade Butterfly made any discoveries?"

The woman in blue glanced at it but did not answer.

"hehe."

The fourth prince chuckled dryly and didn't ask any further questions.

Chen Lin's gaze swept over the woman in blue, but he couldn't discern her cultivation level. However, since she could ignore the Fourth Prince, she must be a ruler-level being.

Then he remembered.

The fourth prince and the woman in blue both seemed to have entered during the last energy tide, and they hadn't shown anything unusual, nor had they participated much in the usual treasure chest battles.

Now it seems...

They were just waiting for the exquisite treasure chest to appear.

This put Chen Lin under immense pressure.

There are over two hundred cultivators in the entire space, and it's unknown how many Sovereigns are hidden among them. If Ruan Qingxi wants to suppress these people and buy him a breath of time, it will probably not be easy.

But that's just how things are, and there's no point in overthinking it.

We can only react to each move as it comes.

"coming!"

The fourth prince shouted loudly.

As his voice rang out, four figures immediately flew up from both sides of the rift, each unleashing a ribbon that instantly transformed into four giant dragons, swirling in the rosy light.

At the same time.

Princess Yudie, dressed in blue, also took flight.

same.

Two female cultivators on each side flew up and released strange supernatural powers in response to it.

The others also used their own methods.

After all, killing is not allowed here, and there is a certain suppression of cultivation levels. No matter how strong the opponent is, they still have to fight for it. Besides, they have basically never heard of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom or the Jade Butterfly Princess.

Chen Lin did not move.

His forbidden power is limited; at his peak, he can only unleash it at full power once, and it must be used at a crucial moment.

'what? '

The fourth prince let out another surprised exclamation.

Before anything could be said, the light within the crack suddenly surged, and then three dazzling orbs of light slowly rose, positioned precisely on the left, center, and right of the crack.

There was one right in front of Chen Lin.

He was taken aback at first, then overjoyed.

Three exquisite treasure chests flew out at once, which immediately reduced the difficulty of the competition. Moreover, his position was close to the edge, while the Fourth Prince and other powerful figures were in the middle, so the pressure on him was not as great.

"Hahaha."

"There are three treasure chests, so I won't be polite."

With a loud laugh, a gray shadow lunged straight at the treasure chest in Chen Lin's direction.

The others also began to take action.

In an instant.

The light of various supernatural powers and spells enveloped the three orbs of light.

There were also shouts mixed in.

Chen Lin ignored everything else, focusing all his attention on the ball of light in his direction and the shadow that pounced on it.

It was a gray crow.

Moreover, this was no ordinary crow, but rather an illusion created by the old gray crow.

The opponent actually went into battle in its true form and charged directly into the rift!

Chen Lin's wrist trembled.

But he still refrained from taking action.

Because in his perception, Ruan Qingxi had not moved at all. She neither helped him collect the treasure chest nor went to compete with the other two orbs of light, but quietly observed.

Apart from the other party.

The fourth prince, Princess Yudie, Ge Yuye, and several other powerful figures did not make a move.

There must be a reason.

"Buzz!"

The three orbs of light trembled simultaneously.

The light erupted again, instantly annihilating all the supernatural powers. Before everyone could recover, the light suddenly split apart, the different colors peeling away from each other and condensing into the same supernatural power that everyone had released, which was then used to counterattack.

To attack someone's body using their own methods?

Chen Lin's eyes narrowed when he saw this.

He can feel it.

The light orb retaliated with even greater power, and this attack was likely to take many lives.

I had only heard that the Exquisite Treasure Chest could yield strange treasures, but I didn't know that it also had offensive capabilities. I don't know if it was inherently like that or if it was affected by the rules of this place.

While pondering.

The divine power of retaliation struck the crowd.

A chorus of screams erupted immediately.

As the light faded, nearly half of the cultivators on both sides had disappeared, leaving only about a hundred.

The rest were terrified and dared not continue to rob, nor even stay on the edge of the cliff, retreating to the edge of the chaotic area.

Even the old man with the gray crow was pale.

Those with grim expressions stopped making a move.

"Ready?"

Ruan Qingxi flashed and appeared beside Chen Lin.

Chen Lin immediately gripped the Xuanjin Spear tightly.

Then I discovered...

After launching this attack, the light from the orb dimmed considerably, and the glow gradually darkened.

Moreover, the ball of light stopped rising, trembled in place for a while, and then slowly fell back down.

"I want the one in the middle!"

The fourth prince gave a low shout.

Raise your hand.

With a dragon's roar, a small, cyan dragon flew out and flashed to the front of the ball of light.

However, his words failed to intimidate the others. At the same time, several other supernatural powers shot over to compete with him.

the other side.

Princess Jade Butterfly also used her supernatural powers to collect the loot together with several powerful individuals.

But the largest number still came from Chen Lin's side.

Everyone could see that the Fourth Prince and Princess Yudie were of extraordinary backgrounds and that they definitely couldn't win against them, so they all wanted to try their luck here.

Even Ge Yuye ran over.

"I want this treasure chest!"

Ge Yuye flicked the square object in her hand, and as the gears on it turned, a silver chain flew out with a clattering sound, sweeping towards the ball of light.

The sound seemed to possess some kind of power of rules, causing others to inexplicably become lazy and their methods of expression to be weak and ineffective.

"Let's do it!"

Ruan Qingxi gave a soft rebuke.

With a flick of the finger.

A dark green seed was then ejected.

They came later but arrived first.

It landed on the ball of light as if it had teleported.

immediately.

The light from the orb transformed into dark green vines that bound Ge Yuye's silver chains, blocking all the other magical artifacts.

"go with!"

Chen Lin seized the opportunity, shook his palm, and the Xuanjin Spear shot out.

Without any frills or the pull of fate, it attacked the ball of light head-on.

But he used all his strength.

All forbidden powers were poured into it, inspiring an indomitable spirit and elevating the will of the God of War to its peak.

"boom!"

The black gold spear pierced through the vine shield and struck the ball of light with a dull thud.

The ball of light trembled.

The light suddenly dissipated, revealing a fist-sized treasure chest, shimmering with light and indescribably beautiful.

"you dare!"

Ge Yuye was both shocked and furious upon seeing this.

He roared.

The four square objects in his hands trembled violently, and the silver chains shook wildly, sprouting sharp spikes that shattered Ruan Qingxi's vines in the blink of an eye.

Simultaneously.

The sound of the chains vibrating became even more piercing, causing everyone, including Ruan Qingxi, to lose their senses. Although they were immediately subjected to the backlash of the rules of this space, it also wiped out all their methods.

But what made him frown was...

Chen Lin seemed not to hear, and was completely unaffected.

With a wave of his hand.

The black gold spear then flew back into his hand, carrying the treasure chest.

"you wanna die!"

Ge Yuye's fiery red cloak swayed violently, and he was like a volcano about to erupt, his killing intent firmly locked onto Chen Lin.

"how."

"Elder Ge, you can't make a move here. I'm afraid you can't withstand the backlash of the rules. Don't be too impulsive. Tens of thousands of years of cultivation is not easy. Don't cut off your path."

Ruan Qingxi's voice rang out.

At the same time, a golden seed appeared in his hand, poised to be released.

Ge Yuye narrowed her eyes.

"Ruan Qingxi, aren't you Eight Trees overstepping your bounds? This is the River of Hope, the territory of the Wizard Council, not your core area!"

"Oh."

Ruan Qingxi scoffed.

"When did the River of Hope become part of your Wizarding Council? Go ask your Grand Elder if he dares to utter such arrogant words."

As he spoke, he glanced to the other side.

Those two exquisite treasure chests were also taken away.

One fell into the hands of the Fourth Prince, and the other was held by Princess Yudie.

She looked at Ge Yuye again.

He smiled faintly and said, "The three great divine kingdoms are all located on the banks of the River of Hope. By the way, the Mysterious Kingdom also has a River of Hope. Should your Wizard Council issue a notice and tell them to move away?"

Ge Yuye's face flushed red and then turned pale.

For quite a while.

He snorted coldly and stepped aside.

The exquisite treasure chests are also directly bound to their owners, and they have all been collected. There's no point in being competitive anymore. Any grudges can be settled after we get out.

"Thank you for your help, senior."

Chen Lin looked at the small treasure chest in his hand with a happy expression and thanked Ruan Qingxi respectfully.

Although the forbidden power could break through the treasure chest's defenses, without the other party's help, he wouldn't even have the chance to collect the treasure chest.

"It's alright."

Ruan Qingxi put the seeds away.

He said calmly, "We can just follow our agreement. Let's see what's inside the treasure chest first. Although this thing has a great reputation, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll find something valuable." (End of Chapter)
