Chen Linyun watched with all his eyes.
There were more than a dozen figures in front, some of whom had reached the Golden Core stage and some had reached the Foundation Establishment stage. They stood there, staring intently at a certain place, as if they were waiting for something.
He could not help being greatly surprised.
This place is not too far from the Ten Thousand Souls Ridge, and is home to many underworld creatures. Even Nascent Soul cultivators dare not set foot here easily. It is very risky for these cultivators to appear here with their cultivation level.
After thinking about it, Chen Lin did not rush on his way. He stood where he was and continued to observe, wanting to see the purpose of these people.
After a while, he suddenly felt that the space somewhere in front of him began to vibrate, and ripples appeared.
Seeing such changes, he finally realized.
It’s time to open the secret realm!
It has been more than a hundred years since the great catastrophe, but there are still many secret realms that have not been opened. Some have been opened once, but the monks inside were unwilling to leave, and continued to live in them after they were closed.
He didn't know what kind of situation this secret realm was. He had never been very interested in secret realms, so he didn't know much about it.
However, it is fortunate that this secret realm is opened now. There are at least several years to find a way out. Those who have not yet reached the opening time will collapse and disappear in confusion along with this world.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin thought of the grandson of the old shopkeeper Tian Haifu. He seemed to be in a secret realm called Xiaoyuantian. He didn't know whether he had come out or whether he was still alive.
The old shopkeeper is loyal to him. If he has time, he will pay attention to it. If it is not opened, he will take Chen Bao to try to see if he can break the boundary and bring the other party out.
While he was thinking, the space fluctuations over there began to become violent, and space cracks began to appear and gradually grew larger.
Suddenly, Chen Lin raised his eyebrows.
According to his spiritual sense, there are many dark creatures rushing here, probably attracted by the fluctuations in space.
In addition to the dark things, he also sensed several cultivators hiding in the dark, and he didn't know what their intentions were.
"alert!"
The dozen or so cultivators also noticed that the situation had changed. The man with the highest cultivation level, who was in the late Jindan stage, let out a low shout, and then a sword beam shot out, killing a ghost that was rushing over.
But soon, more ghosts appeared.
The other monks could only join in the battle, and for a moment, precious light flashed.
Although many ghosts were attracted, few of them were powerful. The dozen or so monks had good fighting capabilities and quickly dealt with most of them, and the rest slowly retreated.
“Gah!”
Just as those monks breathed a sigh of relief and continued to wait for the space crack to fully open, the cry of a crow was heard.
Immediately, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the team fell down, losing control of their bodies. Two of the Golden Core cultivators also turned pale and looked dazed.
"Oh no, it's the Dark Crow!"
The leading man in the late Jindan stage shook his body, exclaimed, and immediately took out two scallop-like objects and put them on his ears, then pointed the flying sword in front of him, and the sword light flew straight forward and slashed down. "
With a puff, the crow's body, split into two halves, fell down.
But before they could catch their breath, they saw a group of black spots approaching from a distance, emitting a cold and chilly aura.
“Gah!”
"quack!"
“Ga ga ga!”
The shrill cries of crows came one after another, and even Chen Lin felt upset.
Now, except for the late Jindan cultivator, all the others fell to the ground, and the late Jindan cultivator also looked shaky.
Just at this moment, the space nodes of the secret realm were completely opened, and figures emerged from it one by one.
These monks were full of energy and dressed in gorgeous clothes. It seemed that they were living a good life in there. However, most of them were in the Qi training and foundation building stages. As soon as they came out, they were frightened by the cries of the crows and fell to the ground like dumplings.
Chen Lin shook his head upon seeing this.
It seems that this secret realm has never been opened. The cultivators inside are all of the new generation. They have no understanding of the outside environment and have no sense of vigilance at all.
They didn't even send anyone out to investigate first, but just rushed out in large numbers.
Although he felt that these cultivators were seeking their own deaths, Chen Lin still decided to help them. Those who had entered the secret realm before were all elites from various major forces, and there might be people from their Silver Immortal City.
In addition, the Dark Crow is not only delicious, it can nourish the soul after consumption, and can also be used as a Yin attribute material to make pills. If you encounter so much at one time, you can't waste it.
Thinking of this, he flashed and appeared among the flock of crows.
These crows suddenly let out strange cries. Chen Lin activated the silver light particles in his soul and was not affected at all. He released a red flame hammer spell, which shot down a large number of crows. Then he conjured up a big hand and rolled them into the storage bag.
He repeated the same trick again and there were only a few crows left.
The late Jindan men below were overjoyed and hurried to check on their companions and rescue them one by one.
In such a short time, Chen Lin had killed all the crows and landed.
"Junior Xue Xian greets the senior, thank you for saving my life!"
When the man in the late Jindan stage saw Chen Lin coming, he hurried forward to greet him.
Chen Lin waved his hand, glanced at the space node where no one had come out, and asked, "Which secret realm is this? It opens once every few years. Which immortal city were you from?"
Xue Xian hurriedly replied, "Senior, this is the Cangyun Secret Realm, which has been opened for the first time since the fire was sent in during the catastrophe. I am from Xuanguang Immortal City, and there are people from my family in this secret realm, so I came here specially to meet them."
Chen Lin nodded.
It turned out that he was from Xuanguang Fairy City.
However, he didn't care which immortal city they were from. Even if they were from the Silver Immortal City, he didn't have the energy to take care of anything now, so he just asked casually and planned to leave.
However, at this moment, the space node shook, and several figures flew out.
Chen Lin glanced sideways and his expression suddenly froze.
The few people who came out were all shocked when they saw the situation outside, and they all took out their treasures to show caution.
Then he saw Chen Lin.
One of the tall women was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of disbelief.
"Chen Lin, are you coming to pick me up?"
Chen Lin opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
This was such a coincidence, he never thought that he would meet Nanmen Lingyue again in this way.
"Haha, you could say that!"
Chen Lin smiled, thinking about their relationship back then, and did not deny it directly.
Nanmen Lingyue shook her head and said, "Forget it. How could you possibly come to pick me up? Besides, you couldn't possibly know that I was in this secret realm."
She said this with resentment, and then she noticed the obscure and terrifying fluctuations of magic power from Chen Lin, and she immediately exclaimed.
"You have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage!"
Her voice attracted the attention of others, and they all came forward to greet her.
Chen Lin ignored it, but glanced at Nanmen Lingyue and said, "Follow me!"
Having said that, he flew away.
Nanmen Lingyue hesitated for a moment, then said to an old man beside him, "Fellow Daoist Luo, it seems that there have been some major changes outside. I met an old friend and I want to go meet him. Let's contact each other later!"
Chen Lin flew for dozens of miles and came to a secluded place.
"My humble self is Nanmen Lingyue, and I am here to greet Senior Chen!"
Seeing Chen Lin stop, Nanmen Lingyue bowed and saluted respectfully.
Chen Lin looked the other person up and down.
The other party's cultivation has reached the late Golden Core stage, and his appearance has hardly changed much, except that he looks a little more mature. It seems that he is living well in the secret realm.
He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you have been hiding in the secret realm for so many years. You seem to be living a comfortable life, much better than those of us monks who are living in fear outside."
He had also experienced life in the secret realm, which was truly two different worlds from the outside world. Although his cultivation might be affected, the stable environment was incomparable to that of the cultivators outside.
"Oh? After more than a hundred years, is the situation outside still so bad?"
Nanmen Lingyue was slightly surprised and asked, "What is the current situation? Brother Chen, can you tell me about it? If the situation is really bad, why not return to the secret realm and wait for the next hundred years?"
Seeing that Chen Lin did not put on airs due to his improved cultivation, Nanmen Lingyue did not continue to address him as senior.
"Haha, in the next hundred years, you will probably turn into ashes!"
Chen Lin smiled and briefly recounted the events of those years.
When talking about the coming of the starlight and the information about the end of the world predicted by the Star Sect, Nanmen Lingyue's expression changed drastically and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his body.
That was a close call.
If the secret realm had been opened eight or ten years later, they would have disappeared inexplicably.
Chen Lin had no reason to lie to her, and this kind of thing could be known by just asking, so there was no point in lying. Nanmen Lingyue's face changed for a while, and she said in a deep voice: "Then Brother Chen, can you give me a good way to deal with it?"
"No."
Chen Lin shook his head and said, "Not only do I not have it, but no one else does either. We are all trying every possible way to find it, but you came out at a good time. If you are willing to be a slave, there is a glimmer of hope."
"A slave?" Nanmen Lingyue was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chen Lin, and said with a strange look on her face: "Brother Chen, do you want me to be your slave? This is a bit embarrassing for me, but if Brother Chen really wants to force it, I am not your opponent and cannot resist."
Chen Lin's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "What are you thinking? Am I the kind of person who forces others to do things against their will?"
Then he told the other party the information released by Xuanyin Zhenjun, and said: "This is the only known way to leave this world. If you can tolerate the status of a slave, it is also an option."
Nanmen Lingyue shook her head decisively and said, "Although I am a weak woman, I will not do such a thing as offering the essence of my soul."
Then she smiled bitterly and said, "I had originally thought that after I came out of the secret realm this time, I would travel around the world, improving my cultivation while looking for an opportunity to form a fetus. I didn't expect the situation to turn out like this."
At this point, she paused for a moment and said, "But speaking of channels connecting to other interfaces, I do know a place where it might exist."
