"Disciple greets Master!"
In Chen Lin's cave, He Yuqing, who was summoned, paid a solemn visit.
"No need to be polite. Since I accepted you as my disciple, and you have not changed your school over the years, then this master-disciple relationship can continue."
Chen Lin waved his hand and looked at the other person.
After these days of treatment, the opponent's injuries have healed, and because of the use of the marrow cleansing pill, he is no longer as old as before and looks a lot younger.
After a moment of silence, he said, "I have received a mission and will be leaving the city soon, so I will help you build your foundation before I set off, in case I cannot come back in a short time and your life span is exhausted."
He Yuqing blushed slightly, but immediately said excitedly: "Thank you, Master!"
Chen Lin nodded, explained the foundation-building process and precautions in detail, and then took the other party into the training room.
But before entering the training room, He Yuqing took out a jade slip and handed it to Chen Lin, saying, "Master, I heard from Sister Qiao Yun that you are collecting items related to time. This jade slip records a secret place in Wuding Sea. I have seen it in the He family's inheritance books. There is a thing called Time Snail there, which seems to be related to the power of time."
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin took the jade slip in surprise, and after examining it, he found that it was a sea chart.
At this time, He Yuqing said, "I drew this sea chart according to the records in the classic book I read at the beginning. There may be some deviations. After all, too much time has passed, and I don't need the power of time, so I didn't remember it carefully, but the approximate range must be correct."
"Okay, you're thoughtful!"
Chen Lin took a quick look at it and put the jade slip away.
The location on the nautical chart was deep in the Wuding Sea, not too far from the ruins of the Lei family that possessed the thunder heritage, and was consistent with the direction of his trip.
The item containing the power of time is related to the soul refining pill, so he decided to stop by and take a look if he has time. If he finds it and it is usable, then the only material missing for the pill refining is the last eight-arm detour.
Eight-Armed Circumvention must be a very precious material, and it may not exist in this world, but Qiyun Alchemy only needs a substitute. As long as the characteristics of this material can be understood, the operability will be extremely high.
The process of building the foundation is very thrilling.
Chen Lin had no shortage of foundation-building pills, but He Yuqing was too old, and all of her body functions had deteriorated. Every time she used the foundation-building pills to make an attack, her vitality would be depleted by a point.
After using three foundation-building pills in a row, he was already in a dying state. However, he still relied on his strong willpower to make a final sprint and finally succeeded in building the foundation!
As a nominal master, it was already commendable that he could do this. After asking Chen Qiaoyun to help take care of them, he, Lian Chenggang and Wu Xin came to Xuanguang Fairy City through the teleportation array.
Xuanguan Immortal City is the headquarters of the Elders' Council of the Hundred Races Alliance in the northern immortal cultivation world. All the cultivators participating in the exploration from all the immortal cities gather here, and then the team is led by Fang Zhenping, a late Jindan cultivator from Xuanguan Immortal City.
When Chen Lin saw the exploration team composed entirely of Jindan cultivators, he suddenly realized something.
It seems that it is true that Nascent Soul cultivators dare not leave their immortal city easily. For such a major event, not a single Nascent Soul cultivator showed up. The deterrent power of the alien spirits was fully revealed at this moment.
As for why the alien spirits did not attack the Jindan cultivators, Chen Lin was also confused about this.
Even if they only want to collect Nascent Soul level slaves, they can let all the Jindan cultivators in this world offer their soul essence. Then no matter who condenses a Nascent Soul, they will not be able to escape, so they don't have to keep an eye on them all the time.
There must be some limitations that he is not aware of.
Everyone was a Jindan cultivator, so there was no need for too much nonsense. Fang Zhenping simply confirmed the people who had arrived and then led everyone straight to the teleportation hall.
The southern world of immortal cultivation.
There is no fixed sea.
Chen Lin and the others traveled all the way via teleportation and soon arrived at the edge of the Wuding Sea. Then they saw an object like an island floating in the sky deep in the sea, and there seemed to be a layer of halo outside.
The object seemed very small at a distance, but there was no such thing above the sea before. It must be the Tianyuan Island that rose into the air.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I heard that you used to live on Tianyuan Island. Can you confirm that the floating object is the island where you are?"
Chen Lin was concentrating his eyesight to watch, and Fang Zhenping walked up to him and asked kindly.
After all the contact along the way, he also had a good impression of this leader. He nodded and said, "Looking at the shape, it should be similar, but if you want to be sure, you have to observe it closely."
"Okay, let's go over there. Our fellow practitioners here don't seem to like us."
Fang Zhenping's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.
Not only was he dissatisfied, but the entire team was somewhat dissatisfied.
They came from afar in compliance with the assignment of the Elders' Council, but not only was there no one to receive them, but when they arrived at the designated location, they were informed that the local exploration team had already set off first.
This is totally disregarding them!
"Maybe there is some benefit there, otherwise there would be no need for the monks here to be so anxious."
A middle-aged man with a dark face suddenly spoke.
Everyone thought what he said made sense, so they didn't waste any more time and each of them rode their lights to shoot towards the floating island.
Chen Lin followed the team slowly. He didn't care about any benefits. He just wanted to complete the task safely.
As we got closer, the islands in the sky became larger and clearer.
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Chen?"
Fang Zhenping slowed down and waited until Chen Lin caught up before asking.
Chen Lin said solemnly: "To reply to Fellow Daoist Fang, it is undoubtedly Tianyuan Island!"
After answering, he looked up into the sky with a look of reminiscence on his face.
He could never have imagined that he would see the Tianyuan Continent again in this way.
Seeing that Fang Zhenping did not return to the front, Chen Lin walked side by side with him.
He reminded them, "When I escaped from Tianyuan Island, the entire island was controlled by a sect called Qishen Sect, which was a complete evil sect that served evil spirits. Now that there have been such huge changes, I'm afraid it's related to the evil spirits above. If Fellow Daoist Fang intends to investigate closely, he must be careful."
Fang Zhenping straightened his expression and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen, for your reminder."
Then he took another breath and said, "If it is really as many Yuanying seniors have guessed, this thing is a super magic treasure, and now the ancient demon has revived and regained control of this treasure, then the entire continent may really fall into hell on earth."
"What do you mean?"
Chen Lin showed a puzzled look and looked at the other party and asked.
He had dealt with the evil demons of the Qishen Sect many times. Although those evil demons were quite strange, they were not completely impossible to deal with. At that time, Yuanying Zhenjun of Wuzhen Tower came forward and made the Qishen Sect make concessions, allowing some cultivators to leave Tianyuan Continent.
From this, it can be seen that the so-called demon god is only as powerful as a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the "sons of God" under his command can even kill him who was once in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Fang Zhenping looked very solemn, and said: "The Silver Fairy City where Fellow Daoist Chen is located is newly built, and there are not many classics in it. It may not be very familiar with the great war between gods and demons in ancient times."
Chen Lin clasped his fists and said, "Fang Daoyou is right. Please help me solve my doubts!"
He really didn't know much about the war between gods and demons, mainly because he didn't want to return to Tianyuan Continent, and there were no evil thoughts on the Starry Continent, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Fang Zhenping glanced at the floating island and said quietly, "According to the records in the classics, there was actually only one ancient demon that descended on this world, but it was this demon that almost caused this world to be completely destroyed. You have to know that the ancient cultivators of that period were very powerful. In the end, it was the cultivators from the upper realm who descended and took action to suppress and destroy the ancient demon."
Without waiting for Chen Lin to speak, he continued, "The main reason is that the evil thoughts of the ancient demon can turn people into demons, whether they are cultivators or ordinary people. Moreover, after ordinary people are turned into demons, they can even break through the iron rule that they cannot practice without spiritual roots and become demon practitioners!"
Hearing this, Chen Lin couldn't help but ask in confusion: "The energy of this world is mainly spiritual energy. Even if the cultivator is demonized, he should not be able to practice without the supply of demonic energy. And the ancient demon is not a creature of this world, so won't it be hit by the will of heaven?"
He was just an ordinary and insignificant time traveler, but he was struck by lightning one after another. There was no reason why such a powerful being as the ancient demon could be safe and sound and wreak havoc in this world openly.
And the frog and those insect monsters were not struck by lightning.
This made him feel that the laws of nature in this world were somewhat bullying and afraid of the strong, and specifically took advantage of him, a weakling.
Fang Zhenping shook his head upon hearing this and said, "The will of heaven is not omnipotent. It is neither a true guardian nor has any intelligence. As long as we do not use power beyond the endurance of this world, we will not be targeted. Besides, the ancient demon is so powerful, how could it not have a way to conceal its aura!"
Chen Lin nodded.
The other party was right. Even he could get the Tianji Umbrella for Yun Xiu Niang, let alone the ancient demon.
Yun Xiu Niang was even more miserable than him. She dared not even show her head. As long as she left the coverage of the Tianji Umbrella, she would be struck by lightning immediately. However, since the other party had no body, there was no comparison.
The existence of Heaven's Dao is so mysterious that it is beyond the comprehension of a mere Jindan cultivator like him. Chen Lin only cares about whether this ancient demon has really been resurrected and whether he will be in danger.
After discussing for a while, he changed the subject and asked indirectly about other matters of concern.
"arrive!"
The two followed the team, chatting as they flew, and soon arrived near the floating island.
Looking at the island at this time, it is so huge that it is hard to look directly at it due to the oppressive feeling. In addition, there is a layer of white light cover outside, which emits a bright light even though it is daytime.
Below the island, there were many cultivators looking up, there were as many as a hundred of them. In addition to the Jindan cultivators, there were also some cultivators in the late foundation building stage.
Chen Lin glanced around and suddenly his expression was shocked, and his eyes fell on a figure!
