I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Regardless of the purpose of the Heavenly Trial, he had no power to resist it.

So Chen Lin stopped thinking about it.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

With the two of them absorbing the spiritual liquid, the pool was completely drained, leaving not a single drop.

The results were amazing.

Chen Lin not only elevated the green heart aperture to the peak of the second evolution, but also strengthened the other heart apertures, and completely restored the origin of his soul.

However, the elixir also has limitations.

It is very effective at replenishing energy and improving the purity of one's origin, but it cannot directly improve cultivation level, nor can it assist in comprehending supernatural powers, and it does not bring any improvement in other aspects.

even so.

Chen Lin's strength has also increased dramatically.

He himself doesn't even know how far he's come.

With all nine orifices of the heart fully evolved, it can unleash nine sword beams simultaneously, more than enough to contend with a first-tier ruler. And after the green orifice of the heart evolves, it is comparable to a second-tier ruler.

However, it's only comparable.

The Dominator Realm represents a comprehensive improvement, but in terms of overall strength, he still falls short and cannot truly be compared to it.

The next step is to perform a second soul-union.

After the soul undergoes a transformation, both the Star Lord's inheritance and the Punisher's methods will be enhanced exponentially.

Also.

Chen Lin felt he needed to change his cultivation plan.

Your natal runes should be placed at the front of the row.

Now it is confirmed that the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart has seven major law attributes, and all of them have evolved. As long as it is fused and evolved, it can cause a qualitative change in the natal rune.

Perhaps I can advance to the position of Sovereign before the Trial of Ascension.

However, whether to focus on the natal rune or the Soul Release technique depends on the specific circumstances.

If the simulation fails, you must not attempt to unleash the soul a second time; however, if the simulation succeeds, unleashing the soul is still faster.

"Let's go."

After familiarizing himself with the changes in his own strength, Chen Lin called the blind girl to leave.

He took one last look at the cave and couldn't help but sigh.

This secret realm is truly a place where danger and opportunity coexist. Since coming here, his strength has more than doubled, but he has also faced life and death several times. If it were before, he would never have taken such a risk, but now he is forced by circumstances to do so.

This time, I wasn't as cautious.

Chen Lin grabbed the blind woman's hand, activated the Yellow Heart Aperture, and a powerful spatial force enveloped the two of them before they disappeared.

After a while.

The embroidered shoes that had been tossed aside moved slightly and began to walk on their own.

"They're quite cautious, but what's their background? They even managed to kill that old codger. Could it be..."

A woman's voice rang out, her tone filled with surprise and doubt.

After walking around the cave and pausing for a moment by the puddle, the embroidered shoes slowly dispersed, turning into tiny particles of light that merged into the ground beside the puddle.

Chen Lin flashed and appeared in the valley.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Although it was a bit strenuous, being able to traverse space within this secret realm was enough to demonstrate the power of the evolved mind.

At this moment, Chen Lin finally understood what it felt like to be a dominant power.

With the Seven Laws in hand, one can encompass almost everything in the world, including the operation of time and space, the cycle of life and death, controlling destiny, and peering into cause and effect.

However, its control over the situation is slightly weaker.

But it also has advantages.

Relying on the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart, its energy level is high enough that it is less suppressed in special places like this one.

"grumble!"

As Chen Lin was experiencing spatial abilities, an angry scream rang out, and the ape leader suddenly appeared above him, wielding a dark red giant club, which he brought down on Chen Lin's head.

"They really have patience."

Chen Lin raised his hand, and a beam of green light shot out, colliding with the giant staff in a flash.

The ape leader's eyes gleamed with golden light, and a layer of red light appeared on his hand, causing the giant club to hum.

However, Chen Lin's move was merely a feint.

The moment the two made contact, the green light spun around the giant club and flashed onto the giant ape.

The ape leader's body stiffened and flickered, its aura becoming intermittent.

But immediately.

It roared to the sky, broke free from its abnormal state, and its figure suddenly disappeared.

At the same time.

More than twenty dark red figures appeared from all directions, all wielding black sticks, and they formed a combined attack on Chen Lin while yelling strangely.

"Master, be careful!"

The blind woman urgently reminded her.

"It's alright."

Chen Lin gestured to the blind girl that he did not need to help her. At the same time, his body was surrounded by a radiant light, with nine different kinds of light completely enveloping him, while also taking care of the blind girl.

Ignoring the little monkeys, he released his spiritual energy and used his spiritual eye to scan the surroundings.

His eyes then sharpened.

A surge of light erupted from his body, sweeping towards the upper left.

Then he stepped back.

As the light swept across, the monkey leader appeared.

Its eyes flashed with ferocity, and with a shake of its hands, the giant club exploded with a deafening roar. The resulting light protected itself, and then its body suddenly expanded. Ignoring Chen Lin's attack, it unleashed a punch at Chen Lin with a terrifying will to destroy!
The group of little monkeys saw this.

They all charged forward like madmen, fearless of death.

"Humph!"

Chen Lin snorted coldly.

The green light reappeared, transforming into a giant sword that, carrying the will to suppress heaven and earth, slashed towards the giant ape leader.

At the same time, fully activate the badge.

However, the badge is effective against energy and rule-based attacks, but not so effective against physical attacks, since it requires energy absorption before it can be reflected, rather than appearing out of thin air.

Chen Lin didn't care.

As more than a dozen sticks approached, a spatial fluctuation appeared around him, and he and the blind girl disappeared from the spot.

The next moment they were already more than ten feet away.

These little monkeys aren't very strong; they rely entirely on methods that can break the rules to suppress others. As long as you can counter their special abilities, they're not worth mentioning.

On the other side.

The green sword light of the Zhenhai Sword Technique struck the giant ape leader's fist. It was as if two forces that were almost beyond the laws of nature intertwined and collided. The void trembled first, and then became distorted and uncertain. Centered on the point of intersection, a large area of ​​light and dark spatial cracks appeared.

The sword light gradually faded, and the fist's aura gradually diminished.

As the aftershocks subsided, a crack appeared on the giant ape leader's fist, which gradually enlarged and spread throughout his entire body.

thump.

Its enormous body split in two and fell to the ground.

The other monkeys were terrified at the sight and fled in all directions. Chen Lin raised his hand and several sword lights shot out.

Each strike easily killed one of them.

He then experimented with the Soul-Destroying Finger, the Execution Axe, and several other strange items he had obtained.

After a few breaths, all the monkeys were wiped out.

"Master's strength has probably reached the mid-stage of the Upper Realm."

The blind woman stepped forward and spoke softly.

"Middle stage of upper realm?"

"Is this the hierarchy system of your mental realm?"

"Yes, roughly equivalent to a mid-level Overlord in the Star Ruins."

Chen Lin shook his head.

"That's still incomparable. The Dominator Realm is not simply about the use of energy, nor is it about a single supernatural power. It's about all-around strength. I'm still far from that level."

"but."

He then changed the subject.

"If the environment of the Ascension Trial is similar to this place, it will be quite advantageous for me. At least I won't have to run away at the sight of the Sovereign."

"Master is too modest."

The blind girl pondered and said, "Master now has medals for defense, sword light for attack, and can also use several high-level methods such as time and space. There are no obvious weaknesses."

Chen Lin didn't say anything more.

The blind girl wasn't a normal cultivator and didn't know the terror of a powerful cultivator. It wasn't just about the simple application of rules; there were many extended methods, making them impossible to defend against. His only advantage was his level of supernatural power, which only came into play under special circumstances.

Next, Chen Lin reviewed the battle that had just taken place.

He discovered that although he possessed the energy of the nine acupoints, they could not be used in combination. Using them in this way would not only fail to enhance their power, but would also weaken them due to mutual interference.

and so.

He still only masters the seven laws, but at a higher level, all of them reaching the Dominator level.

Its soul laws are stronger, estimated to be at the level of a second-tier overlord.

"I wonder if the two minds can be integrated."

Chen Lin pondered to himself.

Laws can be merged; this was established in the lower realms. However, the seven major laws are special, and merging them is extremely difficult. No one has ever been known to succeed.

and also.

The Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart is of an extremely high level. When it evolves to its peak, it can be compared to the Primordial One. It would be extremely difficult to fuse with such energy, and it was not even mentioned in the Shadow Scholar's theories.

I thought about it for a while.

Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This idea was beyond his capabilities and simply impossible. In the lower realm, he had obtained a so-called Great Fusion Technique that claimed to be able to fuse all things in heaven and earth, but its level was too low to produce any effect.

If... this secret technique can be developed to a higher level, perhaps there is a glimmer of hope.

This is not wishful thinking. With the support of the Shadow Scholar theory and the foundation of the Great Fusion Technique, there is a possibility that the deduction may succeed. However, it will definitely take thousands or tens of thousands of years, which is far from enough to solve the immediate problem.

It's simpler and more direct to let a single mind evolve.

Chen Lin stopped thinking about it.

With a wave of his hand.

He took the giant club used by the ape leader into his hands.

It is dark red all over, neither gold nor jade, and feels like some kind of wood, but it is incredibly hard.

At one end, there were two small characters written on it.

"what is this?"

Chen Lin showed the stick to the blind girl.

"Destroy Gods".

The blind woman didn't open her eyes, but directly stated the meaning.

"Destroyer of Gods?"

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

This is quite a boast. In this secret realm, the deities represent not ordinary cultivators of the divine path, but beings similar to the Heavenly Gods of the Heavenly God Palace.

However, the ape leader's power wasn't very strong, and even if the weapons he used were good, they weren't particularly good.

So Chen Lin stopped thinking about it.

He pushed it forward.

He said to the blind girl, "This is also a rare treasure. Do you want to use it?"

He currently wants to focus on the Zhenhai Sword Technique, so he doesn't really need the Destroyer Staff. After all, he has nine high-level sword lights, so not using it would be a waste.

"I'm not suited to using a stick."

The blind woman immediately refused.

Chen Lin didn't hold back again and directly used the energy of his mind's aperture to activate it.

The stick didn't change much, but it was inexplicably 'heavy'. It was easy to hold, but it felt as heavy as a ton of bricks.

Besides.

It can also be expanded or reduced freely, and can be enlarged or reduced several times.

The experiment is complete.

Chen Lin's expression suddenly changed, and he activated the energy of the Blue Heart Aperture and injected it into it.

"Buzz!"

The stick started humming as soon as the blue light was injected.
It seemed...to be very cheerful.

Seeing this, Chen Lin's spirits lifted, and he immediately increased the intensity of his attack. Then, he sprang up, unleashing his indomitable spirit, and slammed his staff down into the void.

"boom!"

A loud bang.

The world darkened, and starting with Chen Lin, a pitch-black crack appeared simultaneously in the void and on the ground in front of him, stretching for an unknown distance. The distant mountains were all shattered, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"My darling!"

Chen Lin gave a loud thumbs up.

This treasure, empowered by the laws of power, could unleash such power, which was truly beyond his expectations.

It was indeed a name that wasn't chosen incorrectly.

If he could evolve the Blue Heart Aperture again, it would probably have the power to destroy gods. The giant ape leader did not unleash the power of this thing at all, which was a complete waste of its potential.

He estimated.

This God-Slaying Staff didn't originally belong to the Red Ape Leader; he found it in some unknown ruin. Furthermore, the reason he and those little monkeys became so strong was because they consumed spiritual objects from those ruins.

"Congratulations, Master, on obtaining this treasure."

The blind woman also looked surprised and couldn't help but offer her congratulations.

"Hahaha."

Chen Lin laughed heartily.

Satisfied, he brandished the stick a couple of times and pointed it into the distance.

"Now that we have such a treasure, we're not in a hurry to go back. Let's explore this secret realm a bit more and find you a couple of rare treasures for protection, so you won't be restricted during the Ascension Trial."

After speaking, he looked at the blind woman.

"You've trained here before, do you know where there are treasures?"

The blind girl's eyelashes fluttered.

“There is indeed a place, but it is quite far from here, about three thousand miles away.”

"That is the residence of a sword cultivator race, known as the Sword Clan. They possess many secret techniques in swordsmanship, as well as various divine swords. Since the master has obtained the Zhenhai Sword Manual, if he can obtain a good divine sword, it will definitely be like adding wings to a tiger."

"And I need it too."

The blind woman spoke her mind.

"The reason I came here before was to go to this race. They have a Heart Sword Technique that matches my talent perfectly, but we were unable to exchange it."

Chen Lin pondered for a moment.

Then he nodded, "Okay, let's go explore. Now that you and I can see invisible things, the danger level is greatly reduced. There shouldn't be any problems going."

After his soul underwent another transformation, his Soul Eye ability also improved, allowing him to 'see' intangible things.

There is no need to constantly use the energy of the mind to explore.

The blind girl goes without saying.

The other party is from this world and completely disregards these rules.

"Oh, right."

Chen Lin suddenly remembered something.

"Does your mind have a passage connecting to other regions, the kind that is outside the so-called seal of the Book of Creation?"

The Mind Realm is a top-tier realm, and it may not even belong to the territory of the Linglong Divine Kingdom. Logically, there should be a passage between it and other cultivation realms.

Yes, it is.

"However, the interface was shattered after the attack, and this secret realm is not the core of the Heart Realm, but only a fragment on the edge. It is now also within the seal of the Book of Creation."

"Oh."

Chen Lin looked slightly disappointed.

However, he didn't have much hope, so he immediately put aside his distractions and confirmed the location of the Sword Clan with the blind girl.

"This is it."

The blind girl drew a map and showed the location to Chen Lin.

Then he explained, "Aside from passing through a mountain range, there are no other dangerous places from here; you can fly directly there."

"It's best to avoid spatial travel."

"There are many strange creatures in the mind realm. The fluctuations from spatial travel will attract them and cause unnecessary trouble."

"it is good."

"Then let's fly there."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin unfurled his soul wings, and the blind girl also took flight, the two figures disappearing in a flash.

They just left.

The embroidered shoes appeared out of thin air.

A woman's voice rang out, "The Sword Clan? Sounds interesting, let's go check it out."

Then it disappeared again. (End of Chapter)
