I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

"Fellow Daoist Chen has mastered divine power, making him an excellent candidate for exploring secret realms. Is it strange that I found you?"

Yu Die replied to Chen Lin.

He continued, "A grown man shouldn't be so wishy-washy. The Heavenly Trial is imminent, and the appearance of this secret realm is just a warm-up. If you can't gain any benefits from it, you'll suffer during the trial."

"Warm-up?"

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

"Does the Seventh Princess mean that this phenomenon occurs every time the Heavenly Trial is held?"

Princess Jade Butterfly glanced at Chen Lin.

I was slightly taken aback.

"It seems your relationship with Bai Yujing isn't as good as I thought, you didn't even know this kind of information."

Chen Lin did not speak.

Upon seeing this.

Princess Jade Butterfly pouted.

"Alright, since you've come all this way to me, I'll give you a little background information. The Ascension Trial didn't actually start after the destruction of the Linglong Sect; it existed before that and is related to entering the Holy Land."

"What holy site?"

Chen Lin immediately pressed for more information.

"You don't need to know this. Actually, I'm not very clear about it either. Although our Divine Kingdom has existed since ancient times and witnessed the destruction of the Linglong Sect, it was also greatly affected, and the secrets of its inheritance have long been lost."

In short.

"As long as you enter the Holy Land, you will receive tremendous benefits. Now it has become the only way to break free from the seal of the Book of Creation. You have to fight for it whether you want to or not."

Speaking of this...

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

He tentatively asked, "The Book of Creation doesn't exist, does it? I've heard that what seals this world is the Linglong Treasure Tree of the Linglong Sect, not the so-called Book of Creation."

"They're all the same."

Princess Jade Butterfly answered casually.

"The exquisite tree can change in countless ways, so it's not surprising that it could condense into a book. There's no need to worry about it."

She looked at Chen Lin.

"Now you need to answer me whether you are willing to join forces to retrieve the treasure."

Chen Lin remained silent.

a long time.

He asked again, "I heard that last time in the space of the broken straw sandals, the Seventh Princess and that Fourth Prince controlled that river space. Couldn't they break free from the seal of the local world from there?"

"Ugh."

Princess Jade Butterfly sighed in frustration.

"Don't even mention it."

"I did think we could find another way, but in the end we found that the tentacle monster was actually the manifestation of the seal, and we couldn't get out without reaching the level of a god."

"Even a God-level being might not be able to do it."

"All my efforts were in vain."

Chen Lin sighed inwardly upon hearing this.

After going around in circles, he eventually returned to the Trial of Ascension to Heaven, and he was no exception.

But she still refused.

"I'm sorry, I'm currently an honorific at the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace and have no right to act without authorization, so I cannot accept the Seventh Princess's invitation. Please forgive me, Princess."

"I know."

Princess Yudie came prepared.

He continued to persuade her, "The rules and power of the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace do not impose strong constraints on the offerings. Even if you abandon the mission halfway, the worst that can happen is that you will be punished. I can help you resolve that."

Chen Lin shook his head again.

“It’s not just the rules of the Azure Heaven Palace, but Elder Bai has been kind to me, and I can’t betray her now that I’ve made a promise to her.”

"hehe."

Princess Jade Butterfly chuckled softly.

Looking at Chen Lin with a meaningful gaze, he said, "Bai Lingyu is not Bai Yujing. Although they are siblings, their personalities and character are completely different. You should take care of yourself."

talking.

She took out a butterfly-shaped ornament.

He handed it to Chen Lin and said, "It will be a few more years before I can take action. If you change your mind during this time, you can contact me at any time. However, if I contact someone else, the distribution method will have to be changed."

"no problem."

This time, Chen Lin did not refuse.

As the exploration deepens, his understanding of the situation within the secret realm will increase, and if the level of danger decreases, he may also go and explore it.

then.

Chen Lin took out a bottle of pills.

He opened the box, took out the pill, and showed it to her, saying, "Seventh Princess, you are very knowledgeable. Do you recognize this pill?"

"what?"

Princess Yudie held the pill in her hand, examined it carefully for a while, and then let out a soft exclamation.

"This looks like the Jade Illumination Pill!"

"It's because it's been sealed for too long and hasn't absorbed enough energy, resulting in a dull luster. If you want to use it, you need to replenish the energy first, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced."

Let's give it a critique.

Princess Yudie looked at Chen Lin suspiciously, "This pill is a secret passed down exclusively by the royal family of the ancient Yuguang Kingdom. It has long since disappeared from the cultivation world. Could it be that you have found the ruins of the Yuguang Kingdom?"

Chen Lin's expression remained normal.

He said calmly, "It can't be called a ruin, it's just a small secret realm. I don't know if it's related to the Jade Light Kingdom. I just obtained this pill."

"Oh."

"I heard that a secret realm appeared at Goose Feather Well, and treasures often flew out of it. The eldest prince of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom went to investigate and found that it was the Mingdu City of the Jade Light Kingdom. He also discovered a treasure vault, but all the treasures inside were taken away by a mysterious person."

Princess Yudie smiled enigmatically.

"Could this mysterious person be you?"

Chen Lin grinned.

"Since the Seventh Princess knows everything, why is she still toying with me? That's right, that person is me. Does Your Highness wish to report me?"

At the same time, I also had a better understanding of the situation.

It turned out that the one who attacked him in the Purple Bamboo Forest was the eldest prince of the Jade Light Kingdom. If he hadn't run away quickly, he would have been left there. The other party's cultivation level was at least at the second level of the Sovereign Realm.

But he wasn't afraid of his identity being discovered.

The eldest prince and Bai Yujing are enemies, or at least hostile. As Bai Yujing's 'sworn brother,' he must be a thorn in the other's side.

Whether this incident happened or not, it doesn't stop the other party from causing him trouble.

"I don't have a habit of tattletales."

Princess Jade Butterfly smiled faintly.

"Actually, I was just guessing randomly. I didn't expect it to really be you. In that case, how about we make a deal?"

"What deal?"

Chen Lin put the pills away.

The other party's strength is unfathomable, and they have a powerful background. If they were to forcibly take it, he might not be able to stop them.

"It's very simple."

"The most famous treasure of Jade Light Kingdom is Divine Light Jade Liquid Wine. Since you have obtained the items in the treasure trove, you must have also obtained this wine. As long as you give me the wine, you can name any conditions you want."

Chen Lin suddenly realized.

It turns out that the wine was called Divine Light Jade Liquid. With a name, it became much easier to collect it.

"how."

"You don't want to?"

Seeing that Chen Lin did not answer, Princess Yu Die frowned slightly.

"This wine can only be used by the descendants of gods. Although you possess divine power, it is ultimately acquired. This wine may not be effective for you. Why not trade it to me?"

Chen Lin looked at the other person.

He immediately asked, "Can only a descendant of a god use it?"

He wasn't a descendant of gods, but when he used it, it was not only effective but also went smoothly without any obstacles, which didn't match what the other party had said.

"of course."

Princess Yudie looked proud.

Chen Lin didn't pay any attention.

Instead, he secretly pondered that if there really was such a restriction, it would be somewhat abnormal that he could use this wine.

Is it because his own situation is special and he hasn't seen the upper limit of his soul level, or is it because the being who helped him fuse with the Nine Aperture Exquisite Heart has too powerful methods that exceed the limits of the rules?

Or perhaps, there are still powerful imprints within one's body that haven't been removed?

"So, have you made up your mind?"

Princess Yudie urged them on.

Chen Lin put aside his distracting thoughts, and a look of regret appeared on his face.

He sighed.

"Seventh Princess, you're late. I did get the wine you mentioned, but there was only a little left in the flask. I didn't consider it anything special, so I just drank it."

"You drank it all?"

Princess Yudie's face turned very pale.

Chen Lin shrugged.

"I really drank it all. I didn't know that stuff was so valuable. It's no use regretting it now."

After saying that, he took out the wine pot and placed it in front of the other person.

"It's this wine jug."

Princess Yudie picked up the wine pot, opened it, and sniffed it. Her chest heaved as if she was forcibly suppressing her anger.

For a long time.

She then slammed the wine pot heavily on the table.

He said in a deep voice, "Forget it, it's just that I don't have that opportunity. What other treasures did you get in the treasure vault? Take them out and let me see. If you can use them, I can buy them at a high price and also appraise them for you."

Chen Lin did not hesitate.

He immediately took out another pill, a light purple bead, and the Kui Emperor's Horn.

He didn't recognize the first two items, and after asking around for so long, he still didn't know what they were. As for the Kuihuang Horn, he had no use for it at all, and he had originally planned to use it for trading.

"That's all for now, Your Highness, please take a look."

Chen Lin pushed all the treasures over.

The rest were not taken out.

Although the Purple Jade Hammer is a bell hammer, it can also be used as a treasure. As for those seeds, they have already been planted and grown in the cave, so they cannot be taken out to be displayed.

"The Horn of the Kui Emperor?"

Princess Yudie picked up the horn first, looked at it, and then put it aside.

Then he picked up the purple beads.

After examining it for a while, his expression suddenly changed, and then he threw it into the jade box.

He exclaimed in surprise, "This is the origin of divinity!"

"godhead?"

Chen Lin was also taken aback upon hearing this.

The so-called divine origin is the crystallization of the energy of the gods. Divine cultivators usually call it a divine spark, but this sphere is different from a divine spark. He had seen divine sparks before, and they were much more beautiful than this.

It doesn't matter what it's called.

Most importantly, deities are life forms that can be resurrected through their divine status. The fact that this item was placed in the treasure vault suggests that it was likely intended for resurrection.

The treasures in that jade box were all reserved for the other party!

"Godhood is just what you cultivators call it. The true origin of a god has no specific name, but it's fine to call it Godhood. This is not something you can just carry around. Be careful not to be possessed."

I gave a reminder.

Princess Yudie closed the jade box containing the divine essence.

He picked up the elixir bottle again.

He opened it and took a look, and his face immediately lit up with joy.

"As expected, there is an Emperor-Slaying Pill!"

After pouring out the pills and observing them in her palm for a while, Princess Yudie reluctantly put them back into the bottle and closed it.

He looked at Chen Lin.

"You don't need this Emperor-level pill, so sell it to me. As long as your requirements aren't too outrageous, it's fine."

Chen Lin glanced at the pill bottle.

He said calmly, "Seventh Princess, shouldn't you tell me about the effects of the elixir first, and then we can discuss the transaction? I am now an honorific of the Azure Peak Palace, and I don't lack channels to sell treasures."

He emphasized the four characters "Qingding Tiangong".

Although the Moyu Kingdom is powerful, the Qingding Heavenly Palace is no ordinary power either. He earnestly reminded them not to do anything unwise here.

"cut."

Princess Yudie understood Chen Lin's meaning.

She scoffed and said, "Although I, Song Yudie, act without restraint, I would never stole your things. This princess cannot bear the shame of that."

side said.

She shook the elixir bottle.

“This Imperial Elixir is for enhancing imperial aura, but you are not of royal blood…” Princess Yudie paused as she spoke.

He took a deep look at Chen Lin's heart.

With a look of surprise and doubt, he said, "Something's not right. These treasures you obtained seem to actually be usable. It looks like someone is manipulating things in the dark..."

"hiss."

Song Yudie took a deep breath.

After hesitating for a long time.

She returned the elixir bottle to Chen Lin, made no further mention of the transaction, and stood up to walk towards the door.

"Remember, I didn't come today. All previous agreements are null and void. Don't contact me again. We don't know each other."

As the voice faded, the figure disappeared.

Only Chen Lin's expression changed.

The other party's meaning was clear: they believed that his ability to condense the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart was a means by a powerful being, and that he had become the vessel for the resurrection of that powerful being.

Treasures like Divine Light Jade Liquid Wine and Emperor-Making Pill are things that powerful beings need.

He was just a puppet.

"A powerful being reincarnated?"

"hehe."

Chen Lin chuckled softly.

From the moment he transmigrated, he had been shrouded in the shadow of the reincarnation of a powerful being. He had long been used to it. If anyone wanted to possess him, they would have to see if the powerful being's methods were strong enough.

With a flick of his sleeve.

After packing up all the items, Chen Lin got up and left the shop, heading towards the market.

I went around in circles.

They actually found out information about the Jade Illumination Pill and the Emperor's Pill.

It comes from an ancient book.

According to the above records, the Jade Illumination Pill is used to illuminate one's own divinity, making the origin of divinity purer. Its most important function is to increase the chances of ordinary gods being promoted to chief gods.

The same applies to Chenghuang Dan.

Although its normal effect is to enhance 'royal aura', its core function is still to break through the shackles of the main god's realm based on the imperial way.

Both restrict the use of deities.

The requirements for becoming a royal elixir are even more stringent.

Princess Yudie wasn't lying; she did indeed require royal blood, and specifically, members of the Divine Royal Family.

Besides.

Ancient texts also record that both of these elixirs are 'immortal and indestructible,' able to absorb the energy of heaven and earth to sustain themselves, just like gods.

The luster is dull now, but that's because it's been sealed in the elixir bottle for too long. It will recover on its own once it's taken out.

Inside the cultivation room.

Chen Lin placed the several treasures in front of him.

I'm pondering whether or not to use it.

Godhood, pills for breaking through to godhood, and super treasures are all items used to restore a divine kingdom. If he were to use them, it would feel like he would be willingly accepting a 'possession'.

But it would be such a waste to leave so many treasures unused.

Most importantly.

He has already used the Divine Light Jade Liquid Wine and evolved his mind. If it is indeed a powerful being possessing his body, he has already taken the first step.

I weighed the pros and cons for a long time.

Chen Lin still couldn't make up his mind.

So he put everything away, suppressed his distracting thoughts, and continued to refine the Holy Spirit.

His essence is his soul.

As long as one's soul cultivation is strong enough, one will not fear any attempt to possess another's body. Therefore, he decided that it would not be too late to use these treasures after the second soul separation.

It's just a question of whether it can be completed before the Heavenly Trial. (End of Chapter)
