I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

"What kind of heavenly tribulation is this?"

Seeing such a strange sight, Chen Ling'er couldn't help but worry again.

But no one could answer.

Not to mention Chen Zhan standing next to him, even Chen Lin had never encountered one before. However, there were many different kinds of heavenly tribulations in this world, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, it was the talisman that was undergoing the tribulation, not himself.

Even if he fails, at most the talisman will not work, which will not affect him.

At this time.

Those who were cultivating were startled and flew out of their caves to watch from a distance.

"True Dragon Calamity?"

When Suer appeared, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Does my mother know about this kind of heavenly tribulation? How powerful is it? Is my father able to handle it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling'er immediately stepped forward to inquire.

Others also took notice.

“It should be fine. With my husband’s current strength, this kind of tribulation shouldn’t be a problem for him. But the True Dragon Tribulation usually only happens to the demon race. Why is it happening to my husband?”

Chen Ling'er looked completely bewildered.

However, Chen Lin understood what was going on after hearing this.

He said speechlessly, "It must be because there are dragon bones in the materials used to make this talisman. If that's the case, I'm afraid there will be many calamities ahead. You should all step back and not get caught up in the chaos."

The materials used in the Ship of Chaos number no less than a hundred, all of them top-tier, and it's unknown how many kinds of heavenly tribulations it will attract.

I'm afraid I'll be quite busy.

While speaking, Chen Lin's hands were not idle. Although it was a talisman for tribulation, it would be impossible to succeed without his help. He immediately took to the air and used the Zhenhai Sword Technique to activate the sword energy in his heart and slash at the nine giant dragons.

Except for the red heart aperture that was sealed, I used all the others to test the characteristics of each heart aperture.

Just as Suer said.

Although the True Dragon Tribulation was terrifying, it was nothing to Chen Lin.

With the blessing of the Zhenhai Sword Technique, each sword light could shatter one of them, and they all dissipated in no time.

But the tribulation is far from over.

then.

Different elemental attacks, rule-based attacks, and phantom images of demons, monsters, and other creatures have appeared, along with many bizarre types.

This broadened Chen Lin's horizons.

However, as time went on, he found it difficult to cope. Ordinary Heart Aperture Sword Qi could no longer be easily neutralized; only the energy of the Green Heart Aperture remained.

He also tested the upper limit of the power of the mind and the Zhenhai Sword Technique.

Besides the green heart aperture, there is also the red heart aperture that is undergoing a second evolution. The rest are only at the first-order master level. Even with the blessing of the Zhenhai Sword Technique, they cannot reach the second order.

Based on common sense.

The number of times the heart aperture evolves should correspond to the Dominator Realm, except that the heart is the 'core hub' of the body and is affected by many factors.

For example, the green heart aperture.

Because of the uniqueness of his soul and the completion of the second soul liberation, his power exceeded the norm, and after the second evolution, he could resist the third-tier overlord.

A red heart orifice should be just as good.

Destiny is his innate ability, and after the second evolution, it should be able to improve significantly.

As for the black and white acupoints, they don't have any direct power. Their function is to balance the other acupoints. Their specific use is not currently apparent, but they are expected to have an effect during 'acupoint fusion'.

There is also the Zhenhai Sword Technique.

Chen Lin placed high hopes on this sword technique, studying and refining it whenever he had time, and his progress was quite rapid. In addition, the sword technique itself was of a very high level, and this divine power was currently capable of suppressing a first-tier ruler.

The second order is a bit of a stretch.

Thinking about this...

Chen Lin couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Back when he was in the Linglong Sect realm, he obtained a divine ability called 'Hidden Edge', which could enhance the power of sword skills by concealing their sharpness, provided that he could not reveal that he was a sword cultivator. The better he concealed it, the greater its power when used.

He had been hiding it for a long time.

However, when undergoing the assessment at the Refining God Tower, he had to use the Sea-Suppressing Sword Technique, which destroyed the accumulation of this supernatural power. Now, if he wants to use it again, he has to accumulate it all over again.

"Humph!"

Just as Chen Lin had just weathered another tribulation and was catching his breath, a cold snort seemed to echo from a distant otherworld.

The sound wasn't loud, but it instantly stirred his mind, almost causing him to collapse.

However, he couldn't maintain his levitation and fell to the ground with a thud, shattering all his protective effects. He was dazed and confused, and his blood gushed out like a fountain.

"father!"

Chen Ling'er cried out in surprise and was about to rush forward.

Xiaocao, the blind girl, and others all flew over to get closer, but Chen Lin raised his hand to stop them.

"do not come……"

He quickly swallowed a bottle of essence blood, then rolled and flew up again, activating the God-Slaying Staff in his hand at the same time.

The God-Slaying Seal flashed and appeared, detaching from the staff and hovering above Chen Lin's head.

But after waiting for a while, the being that made the sound did not appear. It was unclear whether it was frightened away by the God-Slaying Seal or simply wanted to intimidate him.

a long time.

The oppressive feeling of the heavenly tribulation disappeared.

The giant ship phantom above slowly dispersed, turning into particles of light that landed on the 'Disorderly Ship' in Chen Lin's hand.

The Ship of Chaos suddenly changed, as if it had been imbued with a spirit, becoming profound and mysterious, and containing a faint breath of life.

Chen Lin did not move.

He remained focused, sensing the void between heaven and earth.

That being almost killed him with just his voice. If he hadn't successfully performed the second soul-splitting, he would have been completely annihilated. Such a powerful being must be at least a seventh-tier ruler.

Seeing this, Chen Ling'er and the others dared not move.

Everyone stood frozen in place, completely silent for a good half hour, until they were certain that the mysterious being would not appear and that the God-Slaying Seal had long since dissipated. Only then did Chen Lin move his body a little.

"It should be alright now."

As soon as he said that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ling'er flew forward, but was stopped by Chen Lin, who said in a deep voice, "You should all go back. Judging by the time, the Ascension Trial will begin soon, so don't go out during this period."

"Ah."

Chen Ling'er opened her mouth, but swallowed back what she was about to say.

The others then fell silent.

He paused for a moment.

Chen Lin then looked at Leng Yue.

"Bring out everything you have there and let everyone choose what they need. No need for my approval. If there's anything you can't decide, just ask your teacher's wife, Sun."

"Yes!"

Leng Yue respectfully agreed.

Chen Lin's gaze swept over everyone's faces before he turned and walked into his cave.

We haven't even reached the door yet.

A familiar notification sound appeared in my mind.

"Due to external interference, the Trial of Ascension to Heaven has started ahead of schedule."

"This trial is open to all participants and consists of three stages. You will receive a reward for each stage you pass. If you pass all three stages, you will be awarded a position based on your ranking."

Those who fail the first test will return to the Source Pool.

Chen Lin paused in his steps.

He never expected that the Trial of Ascension to Heaven would begin at this time!

External interference?

What kind of external force is it? Could it be that being from just now?

A guess popped into Chen Lin's mind, but he immediately dismissed it.

That being was indeed powerful, but he wasn't qualified to influence the Heavenly Dao. If he could even influence the Heavenly Dao, he would never have survived.

and so.

Something big must have happened that he doesn't know about.

"Please remember your mission."

The notification tone continues.

Chen Lin glanced at the others, who all looked surprised and doubtful, clearly having received the same hint at the same time. He then focused his attention and memorized it. "One: Find this item before the first level ends."

With the prompting sound, an image of a Rubik's Cube-like object appeared in my mind. Each face had ever-changing patterns and would occasionally change shape, making it quite abstract.

"Second: Explore the abandoned lands and complete any missing parts of the map."

A scroll appeared out of thin air, floating in the space of my mind.

"Three: Find the one who rebels against the spirit, and manifest their spiritual radiance; the minimum is one."

"Four: Obtain a portion of Love Dust, weighing approximately three qian."

"Five: Locate the cracks in the sky and repair them, at least one."

"Completing at least two of the above five tasks will earn you a passing grade and allow you to advance to the next level; completing three will earn you a good grade; completing four will earn you an excellent grade; and completing all of them will earn you a perfect grade."

"Each evaluation corresponds to a different reward, and if you only complete one, you may be exempt from punishment."

"Failure to complete any task within the specified time is considered a failure."

"The first trial lasts for ten years. Do not reveal the details of the mission, do not discuss it with others, and do not force others to reveal relevant information. Otherwise, it will be considered a violation of the rules and you will be judged as a failure."

"Good luck."

The notification sounds came one after another, quickly conveying all the information, and then there was silence.

"Any other hints? How do I use the secret code?"

Chen Lin tried asking.

But no answer was received.

He couldn't help but frown.

The notification sound seemed to only be lively when he got the first pair of planks; afterwards, it became very mechanical, as if it were programmed.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Chen Lin quickly and silently reviewed what he had just read, memorized it, and then unfurled the scroll in his mind.

Inside is a map.

The whole thing is blurry, with only a few parts clear. The blurry parts are divided into many areas, and clearly, each area is a part mentioned in the mission.

Once you've figured out one thing, you've completed a task.

But for Chen Lin, the difficulty was comparable to ascending to heaven. It was a place that even high-level rulers dared not go to. He didn't even know how to get in, let alone explore it.

however.

This task is already the simplest one.

At least the goal is clear.

He had never even heard of the remaining four mission objectives, and finding them within ten years would truly depend on luck.

Thinking about this...

Chen Lin felt as if the heavens had forsaken him.

Because at this very moment, his Red Heart Aperture entered a sealed state, which weakened his innate abilities.

"The Rebel Spirit, the Dust of Longing, the Crack in the Sky."

"There's also a strange Rubik's Cube."

"What exactly are these things?"

Chen Lin secretly wondered, but could not find the answer.

The rift in the sky is relatively easy to understand; it should be the location of a 'node' in this world, and repairs are required to prevent living beings from leaving or external beings from entering.

but.

The Heavenly Trial was created by the Heavenly Dao. What the other party was talking about could not be an ordinary spatial rift. It was most likely a boundary wall separating the outer heavens, or even a higher level.

He has no ability to fix it.

The most important point.

The mission time was far too short.

ten years.

It's not too bad for ordinary people, but it's nothing for someone of his level. He could get there in one trip, so he doesn't know why it's so urgent.

They are all tasks involving exploration and finding things.

Chen Lin suppressed his thoughts and looked at the others.

Complaining is useless.

The will of Heaven cannot care about individual opinions. What needs to be confirmed now is whether everyone has really received a mission, and what type of mission it is.

In particular, it is important to determine whether there are any missions that could cause widespread damage.

For example, if you kill a certain number of cultivators at a certain level, then you need to be careful in your actions, as any powerful person you encounter could be an enemy.

Also.

Factional conflicts and racial conflicts are also common occurrences in missions.

But you can't ask directly yet.

Chen Lin knew that he could get answers from any of the people present, and they would provide him with information even at the risk of punishment, but he couldn't do that.

It's not too late to learn about it later.

"Master, I've received a mission. My mission is..."

When Xiaocao saw Chen Lin looking at her, she immediately stopped thinking and stepped forward to speak.

Chen Lin hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't break the rules. Does your message contain any confidentiality requirements? If so, don't say it."

"Yes."

The grass immediately fell silent.

This made Chen Lin realize that although everyone's tasks might be different, confidentiality clauses were still in place.

Then he said loudly, "Everyone, pay attention to the mission rules. Don't fail because of violating the rules. If anyone has a clear mission, you can start now. I will be heading to Star Ruins later. We will pass through many places along the way. Anyone can leave midway if they want."

After saying that.

Chen Lin focused his mind and sensed it.

Seeing that no warning sounded and no punishment was received, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that skirting the edge is allowed, which greatly expands the room for maneuver.

"I may not be able to complete any of these tasks."

Sun Caiyi's tone was somber.

She walked to Chen Lin's side and gently nestled against him, saying, "So I won't bother. I'll stay by my husband's side and spend these last moments with him. My husband can simply put me in the grotto."

Me too.

The little grass also started to speak.

"And me too."

Jinlin and Tian Shu stepped forward at the same time, and the little white snake and others also responded.

Chen Lin's face hardened.

"It's not time to die yet. Don't give up easily. No matter how difficult the mission is, there is always a possibility of completion. Don't act impulsively."

"Especially you."

He looked at Tian Shu.

"The one who issues the mission is the Heavenly Dao, which is omnipotent. If you can complete a mission and get the reward, you can change your life form and become a normal life form."

"That's true for everyone."

Chen Lin's gaze swept over everyone.

"Everyone's situation is different, but everyone has their own shortcomings. This mission is both a crisis and an opportunity, and no one is allowed to back down!"

"Yes!"

The gloomy atmosphere lifted somewhat, and everyone responded in unison.

"Cold Moon".

Chen Lin continued to give instructions.

"Now everyone take out all their belongings and hand them over to you. You are responsible for sorting them and then letting everyone choose. Whoever needs them can take them without any worries."

"Yes."

Leng Yue agreed.

Then everyone started taking things out.

Chen Lin was no exception.

His purpose in doing this was not only to help everyone improve their strength, but also to think that perhaps someone could complete the task through this method. After all, everyone's cultivation level is different, and the requirements for a task to find something will definitely be different.

Perhaps it's among everyone's reserves. (End of Chapter)
