I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin's heart stirred.

After taking the crystal, he asked, "Brother, do you mean that the God-Slaying Seal, besides being able to restrain gods, is also useful to cultivators of other cultivation systems?"

"It's not about suppressing the gods."

Bai Yujing waved his hand.

"It just requires an extremely high level and the ability to leverage special power to break through the energy barrier of higher-level beings, but it is more harmful to beings like gods."

"I still have some questions."

Chen Lin immediately pressed for more information.

"Brother should have noticed that I am now considered a kind of deity, so why can I use the Soul-Destroying Seal, and why do I not feel any restraint when using it?"

"It must be because you cultivate all seven laws simultaneously."

Bai Yujing said.

"The Emperor of Linglong Kingdom is no ordinary person. Although he failed to ascend to the Outer Heaven, he is still a supreme powerhouse. His true strength may not be inferior to those Heavenly Monarchs."

"His cultivation method must have something unique about it."

"The fusion of the seven laws may transcend the level of gods and become a more mysterious energy, which is why your heart's origin was able to make the mark on the God-Slaying Staff appear."

After a moment's thought.

Bai Yujing continued, "You can put more effort into the fusion of laws. If you can unify the seven laws, you will have a chance to compete for the position of Heavenly Monarch."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

His elder brother indeed knew about the situation in the Outer Heavens. He even suspected that the other party came from the Outer Heavens.

And that Ye Wangxiao, neither of them are native cultivators.

"Brother, do you know anything about the Trial of Ascension to Heaven?"

Chen Lin continued to inquire about the trial, as this was the most important matter at the moment, and everything else had to take a backseat.

"The trial to ascend to heaven is unpredictable."

Bai Yujing answered immediately.

"Not only are the trial contents ever-changing, but the number of levels is also not fixed, so past experience is useless."

"Actually, the level of cultivation is not important."

Seeing Chen Lin's doubt, Bai Yujing sighed and said, "I suspect that whether or not one can survive the trial, and whose ranking one is, has nothing to do with anything else, but only with that person's mood."

"That one?"

Chen Lin revealed an inquisitive look.

"Ah."

"It is the Way of Heaven."

"Although the Heavenly Dao may not be a real living being, it possesses sufficient wisdom and is no different from us. Moreover, its actions are unpredictable, and even the Heavenly Lords are helpless against it."

Chen Lin suddenly remembered something.

He immediately asked, "Then could the Heavenly Dao lie? Will it keep its promises?"

Bai Yujing and Bai Lingyu were both taken aback.

Bai Lingyu, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up and stared at Chen Lin in surprise and doubt. "You received a promise from the Heavenly Dao?"

"I'm not sure either."

Chen Lin's mind raced, but he still didn't hide anything.

"When I received the secret order, a voice appeared, the one that told me when the trial to ascend to heaven would begin. It gave me a promise..."

"say no more!"

Bai Yujing interrupted in a deep voice.

He glared at Bai Lingyu: "Don't pry into the affairs of Heaven. Have you forgotten what happened back then?"

After saying that, he looked at Chen Lin again.

"You must remember that you must not divulge anything that involves the Heavenly Dao, especially the information that the Heavenly Dao communicates with you. You must keep it absolutely secret and not tell anyone."

"I see."

Chen Lin nodded solemnly.

He knew that it was best to keep such things a secret, but the other party had helped him so much, and he really wanted to find out the truth, so he tried to ask.

"If you have any questions or need my help, please say them quickly. I'm leaving soon, and I don't know when we'll meet again, or even if we'll ever see each other again."

"I need some Overlord-level spirits."

Chen Lin immediately made his request.

At this point, they couldn't care less about being embarrassed; they would take whatever they could get, and these two were the only ones who could provide a large number of Dominator-level spirit bodies.

"How much is still needed?"

Knowing that Chen Lin was going to use the Hundred Saints Soul Inquiry Technique, Bai Yujing didn't waste any time and directly asked about the quantity.

"Forty-three are still missing."

Chen Lin answered truthfully.

He has collected some over the years, but the gap is still huge, and it is impossible for him to collect them all on his own.

Bai Yujing's lips twitched.

He then looked at Bai Lingyu and said, "Open the ultimate treasure vault of the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace, gather all the necessary documents for him, and let the other elders and worshippers exchange the rest."

"elder brother!"

Bai Lingyu's expression changed slightly.

"That's fine then."

Bai Yujing raised his hand to stop Bai Lingyu from speaking.

Shake his head.

"If I fail this time, it means it's my fate, and there's no need to leave myself a way out."

Bai Lingyu's expression shifted several times before she silently nodded.
Then he looked at Chen Lin.

"I will open the treasure vault in a moment and give you the spirit you want. Keep an eye on it; there are many good things in the ultimate treasure vault. You can choose to exchange them and use up all your contribution points."

"Yes!"

Chen Lin gratefully clasped his hands in a fist salute.

A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.

With these Sovereign-level spirits, one can unleash the complete version of the Hundred Saints Soul Inquiry Technique, greatly increasing the chances of a second soul release. It is also equivalent to having an additional formation that is at least equivalent to a third-tier Sovereign and can operate independently.

The key is.

These spirits were all given away for free, which relieved a lot of his stress. Of course, he also owed them a great deal of favors.

"Is there anything else? Let's hurry up."

Bai Yujing urged them on.

Chen Lin took a deep breath.

He said respectfully, "There's nothing else. I have a favor to ask. Could you please help my Daoist companion, Xiaocao, improve her swordsmanship? She was transformed from a primordial sword grass and cultivates pure swordsmanship. I am unable to help her."

"You mean that little girl?"

Bai Yujing glanced around, seemingly observing the grass from a distance.

Then he nodded.

With a flick of his finger, a small, barely visible sword materialized and flew into the void, disappearing from sight.

immediately.

Bai Yujing raised his hand again and unleashed a sword light, which pierced Chen Lin's forehead before he could react.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

Then he clasped his hands in a fist salute again, "I have remembered your words, brother. I wish you and Elder Bai success in fulfilling your wishes!"

"hehe."

"I hope so."

With a soft laugh from Bai Yujing, the two figures vanished simultaneously.

Chen Lin stood there in a daze for a while before returning to the cultivation room. He inquired about Xiao Cao's situation and learned that she was currently comprehending her gains. He then took out the Azure Profound Token and waited for the treasure vault interface of the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace to change.

The sword light that Bai Yujing gave him contained extremely high authority within the Heavenly Palace, allowing him to prioritize exchanging for needed items and also granting him a huge amount of contribution points.

Besides.

The other party also gave him a hint, saying that the God-Slaying Seal could most likely counter the divine curse, and that he should use it during the soul-dissolving process.

This greatly boosted his confidence. However, the simulation still needed to be carried out, and the Hundred Saints Soul Inquiry Technique also needed to be prepared; having an extra backup plan meant having more insurance.

It didn't take long.

Chen Lin's expression shifted, and the interface of the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace Treasure Vault changed, with a special section for him containing more than forty Sovereign-level spirits.

He immediately made the exchange.

Instead of rushing to check them, I continued browsing other treasures. I still had quite a few contribution points left, and I had to use them all, otherwise I might not have any left later.

Half an incense stick later.

Looking at the items before him, Chen Lin could not hide his excitement, and his evaluation of Bai Yujing rose to a new level.

The other party was definitely the best person he had ever met, a top-tier expert who truly repaid kindness.

And the returns are doubled.

The reason the other party offered so many benefits this time was in return for his actions in the Refining God Tower.

He didn't run away at the time, but chose to fight to the death, which was the right thing to do. He gained the other party's approval and also benefited from the deal.

Next.

He'll have to rely on himself then.

The number of powerful individuals in Beihan City is decreasing, and the city is becoming more and more peaceful. Everyone is preparing for the Heavenly Trial, and no one wants any unexpected complications at this crucial juncture.

Because of the changes in this trial, even low-level cultivators are not sure if they will not be selected.

This was exactly what Chen Lin wanted.

He entrusted everything to Leng Yue and Sun Caiyi, and had Xiao Cao and the blind girl protect him, while he began to condense the Holy Spirit.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

in the secret room.

With a thought, hundreds of illusory figures appeared around Chen Lin, landing on the corresponding altars in different poses, as if they were arranged in battle formation.

The entire secret chamber was instantly enveloped by hundreds of powerful auras, making even Chen Lin, the owner, feel immense pressure.

Ready.

Chen Lin gave Xiao Cao some instructions, then recited the incantation and began the simulation.

The process is the same as before.

First, he entered the clouds, then a gate bearing divine incantations opened a crack, and white light swept across his body.

But this time it did not dissipate immediately. With the blessing of a hundred holy spirits, he finally withstood the wave and waited until the gate was fully opened. He then leaped into the gate of light.

An incomparably pleasant feeling arose spontaneously.

Chen Lin had never experienced such comfort before. The pleasure was countless times stronger than ever before, and at the same time, he felt an indescribable sense of power. His mind was incredibly clear, as if there were no more constraints in the world. He was carefree and could go wherever he wanted.

I don't know how much time passed.

Chen Lin, who had been sitting quietly, slowly opened his eyes.

"Is this what they call the second soul-splitting ritual? It's truly wondrous."

He muttered to himself.

Next, recall the simulation process we just completed.

Everything is going smooth.

However, after entering the portal, all I felt was a sensation, without any actual experience, and I had no idea if there were any other steps afterward.

After some thought, Chen Lin decided to release the soul.

He had made ample preparations for this soul-slaying mission, expending a great deal of resources and energy. Now that everything was ready, backing down now would truly make him a laughingstock.

Even he himself looked down on himself.

No more hesitation.

Chen Lin sat cross-legged, placed all the items he might need in a place where he could access them at any time, and then drank a bottle of Variegated Crystal Essence.

Then the real soul-cleansing process begins.

The previous steps were exactly the same as in the simulation, and I successfully entered the cloud, whereupon white light appeared.

Chen Lin glanced at the gate high in the sky and the divine incantation above it. His body swelled up again, and he reached out to push the gate open.

A bright white light shone forth.

Waves of highly corrosive energy surged into him, causing his very essence to dissipate rapidly, and the effects were even more intense and realistic than during the simulation.

However, with the blessing of the Hundred Saints Soul-Questioning Technique, it can barely hold on.

Chen Lin felt a sense of relief.

He flew to the gate of light, but instead of flying directly in as in the simulation, he hovered in front of the gate and observed the divine incantation above it.

The oppressive aura at this moment mainly comes from this divine incantation. If he ignores the incantation and flies over directly, he will be trapped like a turtle in a jar once the door closes and there is danger inside.

They cannot be kept.

Chen Lin's expression hardened.

With a thought, the God-Slaying Staff appeared in his hand, and he slammed it down on the portal of light.

"Buzz!"

The portal immediately began to vibrate, the divine incantations on it flashed wildly, and the white light became increasingly intense.

Chen Lin was not surprised but rather pleased.

He didn't overdraw the essence of the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart with this strike, yet it still had such an effect, which shows that this strike really does have a restraining effect on this sealing divine spell.

As for the white light becoming violent, it didn't affect him much; the Hundred Saints Soul Inquiry Technique could still withstand it.

Thinking about this...

Chen Lin activated the God-Slaying Staff again, its shadow flashing as it repeatedly blasted at the portal of light.

The situation inside the door is still unknown. We can't waste the opportunity to overdraw our heart's resources now, so we can only use brute force to destroy it.

It does have some effect.

As the attack intensified, the divine incantation flashed faster and faster. When he had almost exhausted the energy in his mind's aperture, the divine incantation finally could not hold on any longer and collapsed.

The feeling of erosion instantly subsided.

This success greatly boosted Chen Lin's spirits, and he pressed his advantage, stepping into the room with overwhelming momentum.

"Buzz!"

As soon as he entered the door, countless wires connected to his body, which terrified Chen Lin.

The lines that appear at this time must all be his soul and self. He originally thought there wouldn't be any, or at most just a few, since he was a soul smuggler. His soul and self should be on Earth, and he might not be able to sense them here.

I didn't expect there to be so many.

No wonder the Second Soul Release is so terrifying. Under the corrosive influence of the terrifying white light, and facing so many attacks from other beings, even a mid-level Overlord would probably perish without powerful means.

"Ok?"

Chen Lin, his heart pounding with fear, suddenly realized that although these lines were visible, they didn't seem to have any power, and they couldn't compare to his previous physical body.

The connection between them, even in spirit, was barely perceptible.

"Could it be?"

He seemed to be deep in thought.

Chen Lin tried wielding the God-Slaying Staff, and after a series of swings, all the lines broke apart, leaving none behind.

After a quick check to confirm that there were no invisible lines, his soul felt increasingly 'light', and he immediately relaxed.

"It seems the speculation was correct; the soul on Earth cannot affect him in the present."

Chen Lin muttered to himself.

He immediately thought of another possibility.

These lines did not actually originate from Earth or from the remnants of Chen Lin's soul. If that's the case, then he has finally severed all ties with the other party.

As a transmigrator, he lost all connection with Earth, and his soul did not exist in either world.

This is the unique origin of his soul.

immediately.

Chen Lin then put aside his distracting thoughts.

The reason doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't affect his soul release. Skipping this step is a huge advantage for him, allowing him to focus all his efforts on breaking the seal.

immediately.

He looked up and gazed at the empty sky above.

Within the endless white light, nine enormous sealing symbols floated, each exerting immense pressure on him; they were clearly no ordinary divine incantations! (End of Chapter)
