I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

After the green heart aperture showed a sealing symbol, Chen Lin stopped refining other acupoints.

Although he only used a small amount of the spiritual liquid, he wanted to observe it first and make sure it was correct before proceeding to the next step. After all, this was the heart, and he couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest.

then.

Chen Lin put the blind girl down.

Using the Zodiac Secret Technique, he asked telepathically, "This spiritual liquid will also benefit you, right? Then don't delay, hurry up and absorb it to recover as soon as possible."

“Master, I’m not lying to you. I brought you here for your advancement, not for my own sake.”

The blind woman immediately offered an explanation.

"hehe."

Chen Lin smiled.

"Why are we still talking about this? The situation is turbulent right now, and the Trial of Ascension to Heaven is about to begin. Improving our strength is essential, and your becoming stronger will also benefit me."

"Then I can use it."

The blind girl shook her head slightly, then dipped her roots into the puddle and began to absorb and refine the spiritual liquid.

Chen Lin then observed his own heart.

It took him a full thirty years to break through the symbol seal on the Purple Heart Aperture last time. He couldn't possibly wait that long here, especially since those monkeys might come looking for him at any moment.

We need to find a way to speed up the process.

How did you get here?

After studying for a long time, Chen Lin was unable to come up with a way to speed things up, so he communicated with the blind girl.

Nourished by the elixir, the blind girl became noticeably more energetic.

She explained, "I have regained some of my memories and learned that I come from a special race in the Mind Realm, and this interface is also part of the Mind Realm."

"About 100,000 years ago, the Mind Realm suffered a calamity, and the interface was shattered. I escaped with the help of the powerful members of my race, but unexpectedly fell into the Nightmare Realm, and my strength also dropped significantly."

"Then I accidentally entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, turned into a flower, and was rescued by you, Master, while fishing."

"After being separated from their owner."

The blind woman continued her story.

"Based on my remaining memories and senses, I found a treasure from the realm of the mind, and then used the treasure to break through the void and came to this fragment of the interface."

"This place was still intact back then."

"In order to reunite with my race, I explored secret places everywhere. However, when I was breaking into the God Refining Tower, I was captured by a terrifyingly powerful person who said that I was a special spiritual flower. He forcibly suppressed me into the form I had in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and planted me in the herb garden."

Then I lost consciousness.

Speaking of it.

The blind woman's voice became low and somber.

"Now that the interface fragments have become like this, and even the boundary wall has loopholes, it seems that the Mind Realm is really difficult to rebuild."

"Life is unpredictable, and no one can truly predict the future, so don't be discouraged."

Chen Lin offered a word of comfort.

Then he asked, "Are all cultivators in the Mind Realm like you, unable to see? What about the tangible and intangible things here, as well as the rare treasures?"

"Not all of them are blind."

The blind woman composed herself.

“I’m not actually blind. Although the races of the Mind Realm rely on their Mind Eyes to see, they also have eyes. My eyes are unusable because of some problems with my talent.”

"As for the situation here."

He hesitated for a moment.

The blind woman pondered for a moment and said, "It should be due to the interface being broken."

"Originally, the extraordinary things in the mind realm, including cultivators, were invisible to the outside world and could only be observed with the mind's eye. However, after it was shattered, it split into two parts."

"I was also very curious when I arrived here, but I couldn't find any other factors."

"The treasures that the master mentioned are actually the original treasures here, but they were not completely separated into tangible and intangible ones. They are probably of very high level or have special functions."

Speaking of it.

The blind woman pointed at Chen Lin's wrist with a flower petal.

"The medal in your hand is a special item. It is a symbol of identity in the Mind Realm. Its specific origin is unknown. There are actually quite a few of them, but not just anyone can wear it."

What are the wearing requirements?

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately pressed for details.

During the assessment, the man in the straw hat was also puzzled as to why he could wear such an item, which confirmed each other's suspicions.

"do not know."

The blind woman answered softly.

He then explained, "It's not because I have amnesia, but because there are no fixed requirements for wearing this item. Whether it will work or not can only be known by trying it, but very few people can wear it successfully."

"As long as you wear it successfully, you will be protected by an unknown force, and there may be other benefits as well."

"Everyone believes it is the approval of Heaven, a symbol of status, and all major powers will treat it with respect."

Chen Lin was stunned.

This world is truly full of wonders. It feels like everything in this place he transmigrated to is strange, almost like a bizarre kingdom.

"besides."

"This medal also has different levels."

The blind woman continued to explain.

"Oh?"

"How is it classified? Is it based on the number of petals on the flower?"

Chen Lin's heart stirred, and he asked.

"Ah."

The blind woman hummed in agreement.

"It's about the leaves. One leaf is the lowest, and the highest we know of is nine leaves. I don't know if there are any higher ones, but based on everyone's guess, they all think that it needs to bloom to be considered the highest point."

"The ultimate secret of the medal may be revealed at that time."

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Lin nodded.

It seems this thing is a kind of protection mechanism. As for what it protects, there must be a reason, but it just hasn't been discovered yet, or the blind girl hasn't obtained the relevant information.

But why am I allowed to wear it?

This made Chen Lin uneasy again.

According to the blind girl, very few people in the Mind Realm can wear this item, yet he, an outsider, can use it, which seems unreliable.

"Oh, right."

Chen Lin immediately asked, "Can this badge be taken off after it's worn? Can it be thrown aside and not used?"

"OK."

The blind woman gave an affirmative answer.

"The badge can be discarded, and it has no protective effect if it is not worn. However, once it is bound to a master, it cannot be used by anyone else. Only when the master dies can it be bound to another master."

"So, this thing will never disappear, then is its quantity fixed?"

Chen Lin pressed for an answer.

The blind girl shook the petals.

"I don't know about that. Our race also has this. I tried to wear it when I was a child, but I couldn't, so I stopped paying attention to it and don't know much about it."

He paused for a moment.

She suggested, "Since you can use it, then you should use it. This one has four leaves, so it's not low-level. According to the Star Ruins cultivation system, it should be able to defend against a fourth-tier ruler without any problem."

"A fourth-tier overlord?"

Chen Lin suddenly had a sudden realization.

The nine leaves of this thing likely represent a ninth-order ruler.

If that's the case, we really can't give up this thing; even if there are hidden dangers, we have to use it.

Because the Fisherman of Tianhu is at level four.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "Have you ever heard of the possibility that once the leaves on this thing manifest, they can continue to increase in number?"

"sure."

The blind woman answered without hesitation.

“I once knew someone who could wear a medal. When she first successfully wore it, she only had two leaves, but later a third one grew.”

"but."

"She didn't know why it was increasing; there were no warning signs, and she didn't even realize it was increasing."

Chen Lin stroked the badge.

He recalled when he discovered the leaf. It was after boarding the large ship. At the time, he thought it was because he had entered a secret realm, but now it seemed that might not be the case.

Do you know about divine spells?

Chen Lin changed the subject.

"I don't know, but Master's question makes me vaguely recall something. I guess it's from memories that haven't been recovered yet. Let me think about it some more."

"No need." Chen Lin didn't ask any further questions.

"Focus on recovering your health first. We can talk about it later. Don't worry about the consumption of the spiritual liquid. Just leave me a small portion, that will be enough."

Done.

He also immersed his consciousness into his body, closely monitoring the changes in his heart.

Three months have passed.

The sealing spell on the green heart aperture showed no signs of weakening.

Chen Lin felt that they couldn't just wait idly.

If it takes more than thirty years to break through like the last purple heart aperture, he can't wait that long. Moreover, he plans to upgrade the rest of his heart apertures after this one evolves successfully, provided there are no abnormalities.

Opportunities are rare.

Such a high-grade elixir cannot be wasted.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin looked at the blind woman beside him.

At this moment, the other party has finished absorbing the spiritual liquid and has entered a dormant state. According to the other party, it will take at least three months and at most half a year to break the seal and restore human form.

So we'll have to wait.

Forcibly breaking through the divine incantation may cause abnormalities. Not only will the person be eroded, but they also need to be wary of excessive energy fluctuations that might attract those monkeys, requiring their help to protect them.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

As Chen Lin was pondering what methods to use to help him break through the divine curse, the flower beside him suddenly emitted a peculiar fluctuation.

He looked over immediately.

Then the flower began to shimmer rapidly, its surface shimmering with light, as if bound by lines. Upon closer inspection, two strange symbols could be seen at the center of the interwoven lines, resembling a lock connected together.

It is a divine incantation!

"Buzz!"

Before Chen Lin could observe further, the flower suddenly began to tremble.

Followed by.

The divine incantation shattered with a crash, and the binding lines dissipated. As the light faded, the blind woman's figure was revealed.

"Greetings, Master."

The blind woman smiled and bowed.

Chen Lin handed the prepared clothes to the other person. After the other person put them on, he looked them up and down and felt that the other person had changed a lot compared to before, but he could not sense the specific changes.

How are you feeling?

He looked away and asked.

The blind girl nodded.

"I can say that I turned misfortune into blessing this time. Not only did my cultivation not drop, but my life level also rose by one level. In terms of strength alone, even if I am not a ruler, I am not far off."

"Under special circumstances, it might be even stronger than an ordinary overlord."

Chen Lin seemed to be deep in thought.

The special environment the other party mentioned should refer to this secret realm, where those with slightly lower cultivation levels have stronger resistance to the suppression of rules.

They might have an advantage in the trial to ascend to heaven.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "When I saw your transformation just now, I noticed sealing runes and two divine incantation symbols appearing on your body. Have you regained your memory of the divine incantation?"

The blind girl looked thoughtful upon hearing this.

a long time.

She shook her head again.

"My memory is still a bit hazy, but this kind of divine spell can be broken naturally as long as the energy reaches a certain intensity, and there doesn't seem to be any backlash."

"okay, I get it."

Seeing that the blind woman couldn't remember, Chen Lin didn't force her.

He explained his plan and then asked the other party to act as his protector, so that he could use external forces to break the divine curse.

There was no other choice but to use the Purple Heart Sword, along with the Sea-Suppressing Sword Technique.

But it also applies.

The Zhenhai Sword Technique has a suppressive effect, which can weaken the effect of divine spells, while the Zixin Sword contains the rules of life. If a backlash occurs, it can strengthen the life essence of the heart.

Whether it will work or not, we'll only know after we try.

No more hesitation.

After Chen Lin finished preparing, he swallowed a drop of spiritual liquid. With a thought, the Purple Heart Sword condensed from the purple heart aperture and directly struck the divine incantation in the green heart aperture.

"boom!"

My heart skipped a beat.

Then the divine incantation began to flicker, and an aura that inexplicably terrified Chen Lin was released, instantly invading his green heart aperture, causing his divine soul origin to surge.

not good!

Chen Lin's expression changed.

This situation is by no means normal; rather, it is the result of a divine curse. It seems that this curse can only be broken through from the inside, but cannot be forcibly broken from the outside.

I was still careless.

But it was too late to blame himself now. Chen Lin suppressed his distracting thoughts, focused his mind on sensing the changes in the origin of his soul, and mobilized his soul power and divine incantations to fight against them.

At the same time, increase the power of the Purple Heart Sword.

With the force of a stoker, they launched a series of attacks on the divine curse.

At this moment, we can't worry about whether the evolution will succeed or fail; breaking the divine curse and resolving the danger is the most important thing.

however.

Although the divine spell was teetering on the brink of collapse, it remained resilient and could not be broken in the short term.

However, the essence of the soul dissipated rapidly under the erosion of the divine incantation, with most of it being annihilated in the blink of an eye. Even the soul seed could not be maintained, shrinking a few times before collapsing with a bang.

Faced with such a crisis, Chen Lin had no other choice.

He immediately overdrawn all of his heart's essence, forcibly stimulating the energy of the other seven acupoints, and poured it all into the Purple Heart Sword.

"Open it for me!"

He roared inwardly.

With the enhancement of the Zhenhai Sword Technique, the Purple Heart Sword shone like a bolt of lightning within the body, carrying the will to suppress everything, and struck the flickering divine incantation.

"Buzz!"

The divine spell finally gave way, flashing twice rapidly before exploding violently.

But before Chen Lin could be happy...

An unimaginable aura of terror appeared out of nowhere, sweeping past like a gentle breeze, and then the soul seemed to lose some substance, becoming 'transparent'.

At the same time.

A soft cracking sound came from inside the gourd-shaped cave, and cracks appeared on the giant rock.

Followed by.

A faint shadow drifted out from inside, passed directly through the spatial wall, and entered Chen Lin's body.

It merges into a transparent soul.

My soul instantly felt 'fulfilled' again.

The blind woman standing by the puddle seemed to sense something. She frowned slightly and looked at Chen Lin with a puzzled expression, but after sensing for a while, she did not find anything unusual.

Inside Chen Lin's body.

After the illusory shadow merged with the soul, it swayed twice, as if adapting to the new soul.

It stabilized after a short while.

Then look at the heart.

Just a gentle touch.

The newly merged souls faded somewhat, but all the acupoints in the heart shone brightly. In an instant, all seven acupoints except for the purple and green ones were sealed off.

soon.

Then they were all opened again.

Strangely, no divine incantations appeared throughout the entire process, but the aura emitted after these acupoints were opened was stronger than that of the purple and green ones.

The green acupoints, in particular, are extremely faint and do not match the others at all.

The soul seemed rather dissatisfied with this.

He hesitated for a moment, then diverted a portion of his soul power into the green acupoint.

The green acupoint shone brightly again before closing again. Faintly, three strange symbols seemed to be flashing, but they disappeared shortly afterward.

The acupoints reopened, and the energy surged dramatically.

In this way...

The strength of the nine acupoints is basically the same.

The new soul also showed a satisfied expression. (End of this chapter)
