I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

"Hanchuan Realm?"

Chen Lin frowned upon hearing this.

He immediately countered, "Senior Bai, why is the Qingding Heavenly Palace's trade fair being held in the Hanchuan Realm? Is there some special circumstance?"

Given the status of Qingding Heavenly Palace, it would not have lowered its stance so much unless there was an extremely important change.

"A strange secret realm has appeared there. Someone brought out some items that are completely different from those in our cultivation world. All forces suspect that this may be related to the current Ascension Trial."

Bai Lingyu explained.

He added, "Now that you've reached the level of a ruler, there's no harm in you participating."

"If you don't want to take on the task of maintaining order, you can also go and explore the secret realm, but these strange secret realms often have extraordinary dangers, so you should think it through."

Chen Lin hesitated slightly.

He said truthfully, "To be honest, senior, I actually wanted to go, but I heard that the Fisherman of Tianhu has advanced to the fourth-level ruler. If I were to encounter him there, I might be in mortal danger."

"There's no need to worry about that."

Bai Lingyu spoke calmly.

"It seems you don't know much about my brother's strength and character. Since he stepped in to protect you at Four Seasons Manor, neither the Fisherman of Tianhu nor anyone else at Four Seasons Manor would dare to touch you."

"Unless they want to wipe out the whole family."

Chen Lin's eyes flashed upon hearing this.

He knew Bai Yujing was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.

However, given Bai Lingyu's status, she wouldn't lie to him. No wonder the remaining divine kingdoms like Tianlong Kingdom were extremely wary of Bai Yujing.

Perhaps he has already reached the pinnacle of mastery.

Even the original.

Most importantly, the other party can act without any scruples outside, unafraid of the whispers of the Forsaken Land.

"it is good."

Chen Lin agreed.

Then he said, "Just let me know when you're leaving, Senior Bai. And if there's anything I need you to do, please don't hesitate to ask."

"hehe."

Bai Lingyu smiled.

"You're quite clever, that's right. I have something for you to do, I'll tell you later."

"The departure time."

"It will probably be about half a year from now. You should prepare yourself. This trip might take a long time, and there is a high chance that you will enter the Ascension Trial there. You need to take care of things here."

"besides."

Bai Lingyu's tone turned solemn.

“My brother can protect you in the Star Ruins, but he can’t influence the Ascension Trial. Once you enter the trial, you’ll have to rely on yourself. Moreover, the Star Ruins are full of powerful figures, as well as hidden forces from ancient times. Many people are not afraid of his name, so don’t be too careless.”

Done.

The fluctuations of the Azure Profound Token disappeared.

Chen Lin opened his mouth, wanting to ask some more questions, but he no longer had the chance.

"More than half a year..."

He muttered something to himself.

He couldn't help but sigh softly.

The news came too suddenly, and there wasn't enough time to do anything.

He originally planned to return to the Seven Star Realm, but it was postponed due to the advancement of the Heavenly Lake Fisherman. Now, although he has received Bai Lingyu's guarantee, it is too late.

Shake his head.

Chen Lin had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​going back.

He wrote a letter.

Send Little Grass and Little White Snake to the Seven Absolutes Gate and ask Beitang Zhu to deliver the letter back to the Seven Star Realm.

Then it was handed over to Luo Qinglan.

If Luo Qinglan and the others want to get out, please ask Beitang Zhu to help bring them out. They can go to Dream City or here. Information about the Ascension Trial is also recorded in the jade slip.

This trial has changed, and Luo Qinglan and others may also be selected.

“The item must be delivered to Beitang Zhu personally. If she is not there, go to Bakushu to find Ruan Qingxi. If Ruan Qingxi is not there either, then go to Dream City and ask Leng Yue to find a solution.”

Chen Lin solemnly gave his instructions.

"understood."

Xiao Cao carefully put away the jade slip and left Horse Hoof Mountain with the little white snake.

then.

Chen Lin then called the rest of the people over, explained the situation, and told them to prepare themselves for the Ascension Trial.

And himself.

Then seize the time to cultivate with Suer.

Whether it was due to their high cultivation level or their bloodline, the two had tried very hard all these years, but had never been able to have children.

Not to mention the pure gold bloodline.

He couldn't predict what would happen on his trip to the Cold River Realm, and he didn't plan to bring anyone with him, so he wanted to take advantage of this time to try again.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

pity.

Even as they were about to depart, Su'er still hadn't conceived.

Chen Lin had no choice but to give up.

He had done everything he could and had given an explanation to the ancestral spirits, so there was nothing he could do about the outcome.

But there is also good news.

The Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart has completed its evolution, and the purple heart aperture has opened, actually giving birth to a sword!
A purple sword, existing between reality and illusion.

Chen Lin named it 'Heart Sword'.

Because this sword is driven by the mind, wherever the thought goes, the sword appears, even faster than teleportation.

of course.

There are also certain limitations.

With his current cultivation level, under normal circumstances, he can only control the area within ten jia (a unit of distance), and the farther away he is, the weaker his control becomes.

After all, he hasn't officially been promoted to the position of Overlord yet.

This is the difference between being 'comparable to a ruler' and a true ruler. Their combat strength may be comparable, but they are limited in other aspects.

If one is a dominant power, one's thoughts can cover every corner of the realm one rules, and the minimum is at least a hundred armors.

Larger domains can have thousands or even tens of thousands of units.

even so.

This also made Chen Lin very happy.

Compared to other treasures or supernatural powers, this sword can be said to be the strongest weapon at present, making up for the weakness of his trump cards gradually weakening.

Although each time it was extremely taxing, it also greatly increased his strength.

In the void.

Chen Lin stood in mid-air.

With a thought, a streak of purple light flew out and disappeared in an instant.

next moment.

A million miles away, a wandering void beast trembled and then died. Only then did a flash of purple light appear, transforming into a sword beam.

I took a walk around.

It picked up the crystals left behind by the Void Beast and disappeared in a flash.

Chen Lin reached out his hand.

The purple light fell into his palm.

The light returned to the mind, leaving only a fist-sized red crystal that flickered uncertainly in the dim void.

"Great!"

Chen Lin couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.

Its power exceeded his expectations.

The situation in the Star Ruins is different from that in the Realms. Here, because the rules of heaven and earth are powerful, the power of cultivators is severely suppressed, and even ordinary rulers cannot teleport long distances.

Being able to pinpoint locations within a million miles and bring things back already represents a significant breach of the rules.

Even a first-tier overlord might not be able to do that.

His previous estimation of the range of the Ten Armored Realm meant that, without suppression, its power would be severely reduced in the Star Ruins.

But it's nothing.

Everyone's situation is the same; his supernatural powers have diminished, and others are not much better off. Moreover, his Purple Heart Sword is a divine power, so it is subject to much less suppression.

"The timing is perfect."

Chen Lin muttered to himself.

On this journey to the Cold River Realm, friction with powerful figures is inevitable. Relying on this divine ability, one can contend with other rulers.

Otherwise, if he leaves the Star Ruins, the gap in strength between him and the Overlord will widen, which will be very disadvantageous for him.

did not leave.

Chen Lin continued the experiment, three times in a row.

Each time it went further and further.

The final distance reached nearly a million miles!

But it has reached its limit.

Not only was the distance a factor, but the power of the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart was also completely exhausted. Moreover, at such a distance, the power of the 'Purple Heart Sword' was severely limited, rendering it unable to pose a threat to the Dominator.

One day later.

Chen Lin returned to Mati Mountain.

After a day of experimentation, he had a basic grasp of the concepts and was fully confident in his abilities.

The Purple Heart Sword has a maximum attack range of one million miles in the Star Ruins, and its power can reach that of a pseudo-Dominator.

If the distance is halved.

Within a range of 500,000 miles, the control becomes more intuitive, and the power can reach the threshold of Domination.

If the distance is within 100,000 miles, one can use the Ruyi, and its power can definitely rival that of a first-tier ruler. If it is unleashed, it can even reach the peak of the first tier.

In terms of energy.

You can use your full power a maximum of three times, and then you need to rest for at least an hour before you can use it again.

It takes half a day to fully recover.

As for the Purple Heart Sword's attack method, it is to instantly 'strip' the target of their life force.

But this is not its only ability.

In fact, the function of this supernatural power can be called 'manipulating life', which is the same as the life law ability of the Seven Star Realm.

This made Chen Lin suspicious.

In the Seven Star Realm, the Law of Life is the primary cultivation method for cultivators of the Divine Path, and its corresponding color is purple. The two are surprisingly consistent.

I don't know what the connection is.

Fortunately, Linglongxin has nine orifices instead of seven, otherwise they would be even more similar.

Even now.

However, doubts cannot be ruled out.

Chen Lin sat at the table, sipping tea and deep in thought.

It's actually quite easy to judge.

Once the second mental aperture evolves into a supernatural power, we'll see if it can still resonate with the Seven Laws. If it can, then it's definitely not a coincidence.

If not.

That means he's overthinking it.

"Seven Star Realm..."

Chen Lin muttered something and took out the Seven Star Spoon.

A thought crossed my mind.

The light on the spoon lit up, resonating with the natal rune and condensing into a magic character.

Because of the absence of the laws of fate, the characters became slightly dim, but they could still barely hold on.

Chen Lin channeled the energy of the characters into his life force, then activated the energy of the purple heart aperture, attempting to achieve fusion.

Instantly.

He raised an eyebrow.

The two did not resonate, but he discovered something: under the influence of the purple heart energy, he found an anomaly.

The 'life strokes' of the character 法 are actually overlapping!
Increase the sensitivity again.

Chen Lin was certain that he was not mistaken; the strokes were indeed overlapping. Beneath the original strokes, there was an invisible line that would be impossible to detect without the illumination of the purple light from his mind's aperture.

His face was gloomy.

Then he mobilized the energy of other mental organs to observe whether there were any abnormalities in other strokes.

Nothing was found.

However, this does not mean that the other strokes are normal. It is more likely that other mental organs have not evolved and are not powerful enough to show the overlapping strokes.

"Night Song!"

Chen Lin's voice was cold.

There are no free lunches, as expected.

Without a doubt, Ye Changge must have left a hidden trick on the Seven Star Spoon. The purpose is unclear, but it could be to monitor him, control his natal runes, or even turn him into a puppet.

But Chen Lin also knew
Even if he discovered something was wrong, there was nothing he could do.

The other party is a top-tier expert, on the same level as Lu Jiuxuan of Langdang Mountain, the master of the Ferry of Life. Even the top ten powers have to give him some respect.

What he needs to consider now is whether or not to remove the overlapping strokes.

If you remove it, the other party will definitely sense it, and it's hard to say what will happen. But if you don't remove it, leaving this hidden danger on their body will make them uneasy.

Why not just throw away the seven-star spoon?

Chen Linsheng had an idea.

He immediately denied it.

Not to mention that it would be a pity to throw away this treasure, even if it were thrown away, it might not solve the problem. He has used this item for so long that he has already refined it to a preliminary level, and the mark has long been imprinted on his natal rune.

Also.

Without this treasure, he was unable to condense true characters, and his strength greatly decreased.

After weighing the options...

Chen Lin once again condensed the characters, activated the Purple Heart Sword, and slashed down at the hidden strokes.

A flash of purple light.

The hidden strokes were cut off directly.

The character "法" suddenly trembled, as if a chain reaction had occurred. All the strokes began to flash rapidly, and then Chen Lin felt the character lighten, as the connection with the Seven Star Spoon was automatically severed.

In a crevice somewhere in the void.

In a simple courtyard, Ye Changge, who was watering the vegetables, suddenly stopped and straightened up.

He gazed into the distance and murmured to himself.

"So fast? I underestimated him."

After saying that, he picked up the water ladle and continued watering and fertilizing.

They didn't seem to care.

Chen Lin stared at the characters, paused, and his expression turned even more grim.

After being disconnected from the Seven Star Spoon, the characters did not disintegrate; instead, they became more solidified.
It turns out that he had already been able to condense the profound characters, but the Seven Star Spoon had been influencing him to prevent them from 'going out of control'.

otherwise.

His cultivation speed will definitely be faster.

"I thought it was a treasure, but it turned out to be a burden."

Chen Lin couldn't help but complain.

However, the current characters are also unstable because the strokes of the character "fate" are too dim.

To unleash its previous power, the rules of destiny must be re-established. This is difficult to achieve through conventional means. The best approach is to follow Xiaohe's advice and search for the Monument of Destiny.

But there was no time.

Besides.

Chen Lin had another idea.

That is to evolve the red aperture in the heart of the Nine-Aperture Exquisite.

In the Seven Star Realm, red represents the mortal realm, which corresponds to destiny. If this mind can nurture a destiny-related supernatural power, it will definitely help one's talent.

This is more reliable than searching for the monument of destiny.

Incidentally.

It can also check if there are any problems with the stroke order of a character.

Observe for a while.

Chen Lin dispersed the characters and then condensed them back into Chinese characters.

There is nothing unusual about this.

He nodded slightly, realizing that his soul level was high enough that even the Seven Star Spoon couldn't affect him.

then.

He then tried to combine the two characters into one.

It was unsuccessful.

However, Chen Lin discovered that these two characters were subtly attractive, and there might be a possibility of a successful fusion.

Whether it works or not depends on whether one cultivates to perfection first; it's definitely not possible now.

Think no more.

With some time still remaining, Chen Lin went to the Purple Light Tree and began refining fake pills.

The materials have been collected quite a bit, but I don't know if this cauldron is usable or if it will undergo any changes, which is why I haven't started refining it yet.

We really can't delay any longer.

After taking the Purple Light Cauldron off the altar, Chen Lin observed it for a moment, and then activated it using the Five Phases Spirit Control Technique.

Once it was confirmed that it could be used, the True Fire of the Sun was activated to begin refining the elixir. (End of Chapter)
