I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

A pulling sensation occurred, and the two landed on an altar surrounded by ruins.

"Mingdu!"

White Bear looked around and exclaimed in surprise.

"You've been here before?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin immediately inquired.

At the same time, it releases its senses to investigate the surrounding situation in order to prevent any accidents.

"I've been here."

White Bear's face showed reminiscence, and a hint of pain.

He said with a sigh, "This is the capital of the Jade Light Kingdom, called Mingdu. It used to be the most prosperous place in this region. I never thought it would become like this."

What is the relationship between the Jade Light Kingdom and the Exquisite Dragon Kingdom?

While pressing Chen Lin for answers, he also searched for the lake on the treasure map.

"They are all from the same region, but Linglong Kingdom is the strongest. The surrounding divine kingdoms all respect it. Later, Linglong Kingdom was besieged, and these divine kingdoms were probably also affected."

He paused for a moment.

White Bear looked at Chen Lin and said, "I'm going to wander around. You can go on your own too. There's no violent energy here, so you don't need to use the hand warmer for protection."

Chen Lin hesitated.

But he still nodded and said, "Then you have to time it right and not use up all the Linglong Crystals."

"rest assured."

He replied.

White Bear leaped into the air, carrying the hand warmer as it flew into the distance.

Chen Lin's expression kept changing.

Judging from the other party's reaction, it seems that they have a significant connection with this place, but there seems to be something they are reluctant to say, so he couldn't ask any more questions.

None of that matters.

What he was more concerned about was whether the other party would run into trouble. If he lost the hand warmer, it would be difficult for him to go back.

Despite the concerns.

Chen Lin suppressed the urge to chase after them and flew away from the altar to begin exploring cautiously.

His relationship with White Bear is currently quite complicated.

They are neither master and servant nor friends, but merely partners. The other party needs him to provide energy to activate their manifestation, but is not controlled by him.

in contrast.

He often needs help from others.

Therefore, there are many things to consider when acting, and it cannot be restrained in the same way as when commanding ordinary spirits.

Put aside distracting thoughts.

Chen Lin spread his soul wings, circled the ruins once, and then continued to expand his exploration area, quickly finding the lake recorded on the treasure map.

It's not very big.

Like the river in the tattered straw sandal, the lake water looked very clear, but you couldn't see what was underneath.

In the middle of the lake, there is a small island covered with purple bamboo.

lake.

Purple bamboo forest.

All of them match up.

Instead of immediately searching for the secret order, Chen Lin took to the air again and explored the lake.

Then the scope was expanded again.

Not long after.

The void ahead became chaotic, making it impossible to advance even an inch. The same was true in other directions. The entire space was about a hundred miles long, and it was by no means a complete divine kingdom, or even a complete capital city.

It should be a broken fragment.

Chen Lin didn't find any treasures either. Apart from the ruins of buildings, there were no magical artifacts or spiritual plants.

The expected books, jade slips, and other items containing information were nowhere to be found.

This disappointed Chen Lin.

It seems this place has been abandoned for countless years and contains highly corrosive energy; the objects have been stripped of their spirituality and turned to dust.

Nothing noteworthy was found.

Chen Lin returned to the lakeside.

Looking out over the bamboo grove in the center.

Of all the spaces, this one looks normal, just like the secret river realm connected by the broken straw sandals. I just don't know if I've left the mission area.

I watched for a while.

He turned back to look behind the altar, where a magnificent building stood, still exuding an inexplicable sense of awe even in its ruins. It was very likely the imperial palace.

He didn't go into that area when he was scouting the surroundings, because that's where White Bear disappeared, so as not to make the other party think he was following him.

With his Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart protecting him, Chen Lin was not afraid of the energy erosion here, so he was not in a hurry and landed by the lake to wait quietly.

We are waiting for the white bear, and also for the treasure.

He had his doubts.

The treasures that flew out of Goose Feather Well all came from here, specifically from this island in the middle of the lake.

Chen Lin still had doubts.

Is there some powerful being trapped in the Purple Bamboo Forest, deliberately creating treasures to lure people here? And what about the treasure map he obtained? It's impossible for such a thing to appear out of nowhere.

We still need to be careful.

It took almost half a day to wait.

A figure flashed from the direction of the altar, and White Bear flew over, carrying a large purple cauldron in his hands.

"Please place this item in the cave and nurture it with spiritual liquid. Give it to me after you've settled in."

White Bear handed the large cauldron to Chen Lin.

"it is good."

Chen Lin didn't ask any further questions and simply put the jade pendant into the cave.

The cave is currently empty. Although only the pool can be opened here, it is enough to hold a cauldron.

Then he asked, "Nothing went wrong, right? Is there anything else I can help you with?"

White Bear shook his head.

"This is only a part of the Jade Light Divine Kingdom. Mingdu City has been destroyed, and there's nothing much in the ruins of the imperial palace. Only this Purple Light Cauldron was placed in a secret chamber. I happened to remember the method to enter the secret chamber, so I took it out."

"The Purple Light Cauldron..."

Chen Lin's expression shifted.

Suddenly he said, "I have a Purple Light Tree in my hand, which is said to be an innate spiritual root with many wonderful uses. I wonder if it has anything to do with this Purple Light Cauldron."

"You have the Purple Light Tree?"

A sharp glint shone in the eyes of the little white bear.

"Where is it? Let me see!"

"The tree can't be transplanted if it's not on me; it's located within my base."

Chen Lin offered an explanation.

Then he asked, "So, the Purple Light Tree really is from the Jade Light Kingdom? Could those scenic spots in the Star Ruins be fragments of the Divine Kingdom?"

"possible."

White Bear nodded slightly.

He immediately urged, "Forget about that, let's hurry to the Purple Bamboo Forest. That's where the Jade Light Kingdom's treasure trove is located. The Purple Light Tree you mentioned originally grew there. Maybe we can find divine soil to accelerate the Purple Light Tree's growth."

"And the secret order you want is definitely there too. If we wait any longer, someone else might come in, and things could get complicated."

Chen Lin, however, was not in a hurry.

He explained his concerns to the other party and asked with doubt, "What exactly is this secret order? If it was set by the people of Linglong Kingdom, why is it in the treasure vault of Yuguang Kingdom?"

"Could it be that..."

“The Linglong Kingdom foresaw its demise long ago, and then, together with the other divine kingdoms, set up the Heavenly Trial and left behind a secret order.”

"What is the purpose of the Heavenly Trial?"

"Is it to save the remaining flames of the various divine kingdoms, or to select some special beings?"

White Bear shrugged.

"I really don't know these things. I didn't deliberately hide them. Perhaps my original self knows, but he's probably already dead. Whether I can be resurrected is a question."

"We'll see."

"Even if the secret order is really for the Fire Seed, are you just going to leave it? Why think so much? The most important thing is to get the stuff in hand and then go back to your base to cultivate and improve your strength."

"You're right."

Chen Lin knew the other party was eager to see the Purple Light Tree, but what they said was true. No matter where the secret order came from or what secrets were hidden in it, he would not give up.

"If you have a point, stop hesitating and get going. Otherwise, I'll go by myself, and you can wait here."

Little White Bear urged again.

Chen Lin thought for a moment.

He took to the air and said, "Let's go together. The secret order might be hidden in an unexpected item that you haven't come across before. Don't miss it again."

"casual."

The little white bear was very impatient.

He immediately activated the furnace, and a white light enveloped Chen Lin as he flew towards the purple bamboo forest. (End of Chapter)
