I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

They encountered no attack and easily reached the island in the middle of the lake.

“This place used to be a forbidden area. Unless you had a token, even a high-level Sovereign could not enter. But now there is no obstacle at all. How the world changes!”

White Bear sighed.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed as he asked, "Is the realm above the Sovereign the Primordial Realm? What is the cultivation level of the Emperor of Jade Light Kingdom? And the Emperor of Linglong Kingdom?"

You're right.

"Above the Sovereign realm is the Primordial Realm, but this is just a general term. Different cultivation systems have different names for it. Some call it the God of Sovereign, some call it the Creator, and some call it the Dao Lord."

"However, Linglong Kingdom is a divine kingdom, so its system is based on gods."

"As for why there are other cultivation systems in Xingxu, I guess they are the inheritances left behind by the major forces that besieged Linglong Kingdom."

Chen Lin suddenly realized.

Then, looking at the other person with surprise, she tentatively asked, "Has your memory returned? You didn't know any of this information before."

"Ah."

White Bear nodded.

He sighed softly, "Seeing this object reminds me of many things I've forgotten. I'm not actually a spiritual imprint, but a remnant soul that's just surviving thanks to this treasure."

"But I still can't recall most of my memories; it feels like they've been sealed away by some kind of force."

"I see."

Chen Lin was very happy.

The other party has no conflict of interest with him, and the more memories they recover, the more helpful they will be to him.

For example, right now.

Based on what the other party said, it can be deduced that the so-called world of the Book of Creation is actually no different from the outside cultivation world.

The ruler remains the strongest.

The so-called Book of Creation is merely a way for the Linglong Kingdom to protect its divine kingdom by using the Linglong Treasure Tree as a vessel.

It shouldn't be called the Book of Creation, but rather the Tree of Creation.

In that case...

The energy cultivated here will be flawless, allowing you to cultivate with peace of mind.

"Oh, right."

Chen Lin remembered something.

"Do you remember the Heavenly God Palace I mentioned to you before? The goddess said that the Heavenly God enshrined in the Heavenly God Palace is also a chief god. Do you think it might be the emperor of some divine kingdom? Could it be related to the Jade Light Kingdom?"

Whether it's closed or not doesn't matter.

White Bear responded.

"why?"

Chen Lin was somewhat confused.

The number of supreme gods cannot be large, and each one is not to be ignored. As long as they want to compete for resources, it will inevitably have an impact in the future.

It's not even certain that the other party will be able to participate in the Heavenly Trial.

"Because it can't be complete; at most, it's just a wisp of divine source."

The little white bear remained unmoved.

Then, looking at Chen Lin, he said, "Didn't you say that the other party has already encountered problems? It's highly likely that they no longer have their former consciousness and have become another life form."

"Such an existence may be very powerful, but it is difficult for it to appear normally, otherwise it would be in danger of collapsing. We just need to avoid contact with it."

"All right."

White Bear ended the conversation.

Look towards the bamboo forest.

"We've used up quite a few Linglong Crystals again. Let's hurry up and find something to leave. I also want to see what the secret order is."

Chen Lin didn't press the matter further.

The two entered the bamboo forest and quickly headed towards the center.

"what?"

After walking for a while, Chen Lin stopped.

I walked up to a large purple bamboo and looked at the leaves on one of its branches.

The leaf was unusually large and had a peculiar shape, looking like a curved... long knife, with patterns on it that seemed to contain some kind of regularity.

"what happened?"

The little white bear came closer to observe.

He then said, "It's not surprising. According to my memory, this Purple Bamboo Forest was formed from a primordial treasure, which can be used to refine magical artifacts through a nurturing process based on the rules."

"In the current situation, it should be that the roots of the precious bamboo have penetrated into the treasure vault, using the treasures there as materials, and then nurtured it."

"You can do that?"

Chen Lin clicked his tongue in amazement.

He exclaimed, "The world is truly full of wonders. So, the treasures that flew out of the Goose Feather Well were nurtured by these bamboos?"

"Correct."

The little white bear touched the bamboo leaves.

His face was filled with sighs.

"I knew that the Goose Feather Well looked familiar. It turns out it was the White Jade Spring of the Jade Light Kingdom. However, it has been damaged and its condition has changed. Its wonders are not as great as before."

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

He tentatively asked, "Is there any possibility of collecting this jade spring water?"

"hehe."

White Bear chuckled.

"It's definitely possible to collect it, it just depends on whether you have the ability to do so. Right now, I'm afraid it's not possible."

"I was just asking."

Chen Lin smiled and didn't feel embarrassed.

Such treasures would tempt anyone who saw them, but he knew he didn't have the ability to collect them. If these strange landscapes were so easy to collect, they would have been refined by the powerful figures of various forces long ago, leaving none behind.

During the conversation.

The two walked through the purple bamboo forest and arrived at the open space in the center.

There is nothing else.

There was only one jade pagoda, but it was only half left, and it was covered with cracks, looking like it could break at any moment.

"How could this be?"

"This is impossible!"

White Bear stared at the half-broken jade pagoda with an expression of disbelief.

Is there something wrong with it?

Chen Lin raised his black gold spear, ready to strike.

"nothing."

White Bear's voice was forlorn.

"I never expected that even the Jade Light Tower would be destroyed. It was the foundation of the Jade Light Kingdom and the basis of the entire divine kingdom. With even it destroyed, the Jade Light Divine Kingdom is truly no more."

"Let's go."

"Let's go in and take a look."

"Don't worry, I have access privileges. Even if the tower spirit is still there, it won't be attacked."

White Bear spoke as he walked forward.

Chen Lin focused and followed.

He was not careless. After all, the other party was just a remnant soul and not a person from the Jade Light Kingdom, so mistakes were inevitable.

However, nothing unusual happened as they walked into the tower.

The first floor is a neat hall with an altar in the middle, which should have been used to enshrine some kind of deity, but it has been broken into pieces and its original shape is no longer visible.

Chen Lin walked around the altar once.

He frowned and said, "The corrosive energy here seems capable of annihilating the spirituality of all extraordinary things. What kind of cultivation system has such an ability?"

"destiny."

Bai Xiaoxiong glanced at Chen Lin and said.

"destiny?"

Chen Lin was taken aback.

"Correct."

"It's fate."

White Bear's voice was low and somber.

"This is the method of the Daoist Master, transforming the saint into the mortal, returning to simplicity, eliminating all great power, and letting the target return to its original destiny trajectory."

Chen Lin's eyelids twitched. "The Daoist sect?"

"Could it be Mayoko?"

Bai Xiaoxiong shook his head. "I don't know. Like the Emperor of Linglong Kingdom, all information about the Dao Lord is blank. Such an existence has reached the state of no heaven and no earth, no other and no self. If he doesn't want to be known, no one can know anything about him."

Chen Lin remained silent.

Although Zhenyangzi is mysterious, he does not seem to have reached the level of a Dao Lord.

At most, it's just a clone.

Does Buddhism possess a primordial realm?

Chen Lin continued to ask questions.

"I can't remember exactly, but based on the information you provided before, the Taoist sect, the Buddhist sect, and the strange kingdom should all be the external forces besieging Linglong Kingdom, while the Jade Light Kingdom and the gods worshipped by the Heavenly God Palace are all in Linglong Kingdom's camp."

“There are still some.”

"Yuan Sheng Kingdom, Tian Long Kingdom, Mo Yu Kingdom."

“I seem to remember these three kingdoms as well. They are very similar to the vassal kingdoms of Linglong Kingdom. I don’t know if they were lucky or for other reasons.

"Are they the primordial divine realm?"

Chen Lin was extremely surprised.

However, they quickly calmed down because it made sense.

The three mysterious kingdoms are all capable of overpowering the Star Ruins. Without the presence of primordial powerhouses, it would be impossible for them to achieve this, as each major power has its own high-level ruler.

After a moment's thought.

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow and asked, "You suspect they betrayed the Linglong Kingdom?"

"Who knows?"

The little white bear walked onto the altar.

"I'm telling you this only so you can be careful when you come into contact with them. You now possess the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart and are a formal Punisher, already integrated with the Linglong Kingdom, and cannot change your allegiance."

"I see."

Chen Lin nodded to indicate that he understood.

Moreover, it's not just the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart and the Punishment Lord; the Soul Master's inheritance comes from the Primordial Stele, which is also the inheritance of the Exquisite Kingdom.

No.

wrong!

Chen Lin suddenly realized.

He immediately asked, "Since destiny is a method of the Daoist sect, then what about the Destiny Stele within the Primordial Stele? Isn't the Primordial Stele supposed to be a treasure of the Linglong Sect?"

"Who said that?"

White Bear stepped down from the altar again and looked at Chen Lin with a puzzled expression.

Chen Lin paused for a moment.

He then said, "That's what everyone says."

This information doesn't actually have a precise source; it's all just hearsay from various parties. The only one who confirmed it was Xiao He, who told him that this set of Primordial Monuments belonged to the owner of the Book of Creation.

The master of the Book of Creation is undoubtedly the emperor of Linglong Kingdom.

This creates a contradiction.

The Monument of Destiny is the inheritance of primordial destiny. Logically, it should belong to the Daoist sect. There is no reason for it to be in the hands of the Emperor of Linglong Kingdom, because destiny is unique, and only one can ascend to the primordial state.

"Let me think about it."

White Bear tries hard to recall.

In the end, he shook his head.

"I can't remember."

"However, as far as I know, the treasure chest of the Exquisite Treasure Tree does not steal treasures from a distance, but seems to copy them according to the rules of the Great Dao."

"But something like the Primordial Monument probably cannot be successfully replicated."

A brief pause.

White Bear stroked his chin and said, "Your destiny talent is a bit strange. I even suspect that you might be the reincarnation of the Dao Lord, but you have also successfully condensed the Nine Aperture Exquisite Heart, which makes it really hard for me to judge."

"never mind."

"Never mind all that."

"Whatever you want to be, that's what it is. Since you can activate my hand warmer, it means we're destined to be together. I'll bet my money on you."

Thank you for your trust.

Chen Lin clasped his hands in a fist salute.

He himself couldn't figure out why, it seemed that from the lower realm onwards, he had become an invisible anchor point for all parties, and everyone wanted to do something to him.

Just when he thought he had unraveled the mystery, an even bigger mystery awaited him.

I can't get rid of it no matter what I do.

Now it's even more outrageous, as they simultaneously possess the Dao Lord's inheritance and the royal bloodline of the Linglong Kingdom.

White Bear continued to explore the altar, constantly adjusting something on it, trying to open the entrance to the treasure vault.

Chen Lin then pondered the information he had just received.

Nothing else matters.

It mainly comes down to one's own talent and abilities.

He always felt that the reason so many powerful figures were eyeing him was because of this talent.

He once thought that his innate abilities originated from the body of the old Chen Lin, and that they were only activated after he transmigrated. This was because once, after he became a ball of destiny in the Immortal Stele, a cultivator of destiny had clearly stated that he was a fish that had slipped through the net.

Since it's a fish that slipped through the net, it can't be a soul.

Because his soul does not belong to this cultivation world.

Subsequent signs also indicated that his innate talent for destiny was in harmony with the rules of this world, making it even less likely that it originated from his soul.

But now he has a different idea.

The reason for the change.

The main thing is that after self-destructing his talent in the broken straw sandal space, his ten-hit-hit combo actually still works!
After careful observation, he noticed something different.

One's innate talent is not a single entity, but actually consists of two parts, one of which is very weak and has never improved from beginning to end.

The other part has been growing.

Previously, because the two were fused together, they were completely undetectable. Now, the continuously growing part is exploding, revealing the other part.

Chen Lin's eyes flickered.

The scene of his time travel kept replaying in his mind.

Unfortunately, it's been too long, and even though it was the most memorable thing for him, it has become somewhat blurry.

However, some details can be reconstructed based on speculation.

It's highly likely that he and Old Cultivator Chen Lin both possessed a destiny talent, thus creating a mysterious connection that led him to travel from Earth to this place. However, his talent didn't align with the rules of this cultivation world, so he 'went into hibernation,' while Old Cultivator Chen Lin's talent improved with cultivation.

His talent remains.

It's just that with the improvement of fate-based techniques, the ten-times-guaranteed-hit-win method is no longer needed, which is why it was never discovered.

If that's the case.

Chen Lin felt that this misfortune had turned into a blessing in disguise. His forced self-destruction had actually allowed his talent to return to its pure form, although it would take a lot of time to cultivate it again.

"Should we go find the Monument of Destiny?"

The thought suddenly popped into his head.

When he was negotiating the deal with Xiaohe, she gave him a method to sense the approximate location of the Monument of Destiny. As long as it hadn't fallen into the hands of other powerful individuals, there was still hope of finding it.

The problem is that it's difficult to determine Xiaohe's reliability.

Now another unexpected event has occurred.

The Mysterious Kingdom and the Exquisite Kingdom are enemies. Now that he has the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart, he wonders if they can still join forces when they meet again.

"found it!"

The white bear's voice interrupted Chen Lin's thoughts.

Immediately, the altar emitted a series of mechanical sounds and split in two, revealing a downward-facing white jade staircase.

"As expected, there is a secret passage, and it's mechanical. It seems that the Jade Light Kingdom was already on guard against the Dao Lord."

"pity."

"Faced with overwhelming strength, all preparations are in vain."

White Bear muttered to himself as he walked down the steps.

Having reached this point, Chen Lin had no choice but to follow along.

As the two figures disappeared, the altar made a clicking sound again, then slowly closed, sealing itself perfectly without leaving a trace.

At the same time.

At the altar at the entrance, the space suddenly rippled, and several figures appeared. (End of Chapter)
