As soon as the Jindan old man placed his palm on the immortal tablet, he saw a mysterious pattern on the immortal tablet light up faintly, and then a strange mark appeared between the old man's eyebrows.
The two interacted with each other, producing a wonderful energy fluctuation.
Such a change made the eyes of the monks below light up. As long as there was an abnormality, it meant that this was not an unsolvable situation.
However, for safety reasons, everyone stepped back a distance to avoid being affected.
"Zhang Chengdao, what happened? Are you okay?"
The leader of the old man's team spoke loudly and asked about the situation.
But the old man did not answer, but had a grim look on his face, as if he was in great pain.
This scene made everyone nervous again, but they could only worry. No one knew what the other party was going through, and there was no way to help.
Chen Lin stared at the mark between the old man's eyebrows, which was in the shape of a leaf. He didn't look like a gifted person, but rather a descendant of a true spirit. However, he didn't know much about the bloodline families in the Tianfang Continent, so he didn't know what true spirit bloodline this leaf represented.
After another dozen or so breaths, the mark between the old man's eyebrows dimmed, and he fell from the sky, turning into a pile of dry bones.
The patterns on the immortal stele also disappeared.
Everyone's faces looked very ugly. They had thought that they would be able to see something this time, but they didn't expect that the final outcome would be like this.
"Husband, what do you think the changes in the monument represent?"
Luo Qinglan and Chen Lin talked in a low voice.
Chen Lin thought for a moment and said, "It must have been stimulated by the power of the rules of the innate ability. The degree of stimulation should be related to the level of the talent, or the degree of mastery of the talent. The innate abilities of the two cultivators before did not meet the requirements, so there was no movement."
After a pause, he analyzed: "If this is the case, if the innate ability is strong enough, perhaps it can break the death situation and enter the next stage. However, it may also be related to the resurrection seed of the powerful. This must be prevented. My lady, you have to pay attention to it."
Chen Lin spoke out all that was in his mind.
In this space, the only way to get out seems to be through the Immortal Monument. He feels that everyone here will come into contact with the Immortal Monument sooner or later, and no one can escape it.
Of course, the later the better, the more you understand, the better.
The body of the old man who had reached the Golden Core stage was taken away by someone, and they conducted further research, but still nothing was found out.
The experiment is over.
Regardless of whether the Immortal Monument reacts or not, the final outcome will be the same. If the Council of Elders is forced to reconsider and continue to forcibly send people, it will easily cause unrest. No one has any cultivation, and once unrest breaks out, no one can suppress it. By then, even without the Immortal Monument taking action, most of the people will be killed or injured in the internal strife.
After a while, the result of the discussion came out. They decided to temporarily give up on testing the immortal stele and instead split up to check the terrain and conduct a thorough search of the entire space to see if there were any other ways to leave.
At the same time, all those hiding far away will be gathered back. We can't let everyone draw lots to die here while they wait to enjoy the results.
Chen Lin, along with Luo Qinglan, Zhuge Hengyun, Yang Zishi and Ling Qianxue, formed a group of five and headed off into the distance.
"Hello, Senior Chen. Thank you for saving my life."
It was not until there were fewer people around that Ling Qianxue took the initiative to greet Chen Lin.
Chen Lin waved his hand and said, "I saved you because of the deal between me and your brother. It can't be called a favor. But I'm surprised that your condition can be considered a natural ability."
The other party, like Ye Luo, is related to powerful creatures from another world. I thought he was anchored by a powerful creature, but it turned out to be a talent.
"I don't know that either."
Ling Qianxue shook her head, and then continued: "Since I was a child, I have been able to sense a very powerful existence and establish a connection with it. This powerful existence always absorbs energy from me, making it impossible for me to build my foundation. Fortunately, Senior Chen's elixir cured my illness and allowed me to break through the foundation-building stage!"
After saying that, he bowed to Chen Lin again.
Chen Lin nodded, glanced at the other party and said, "You have already established your foundation, but can you summon that powerful being? What kind of creature is it?"
According to his understanding, although the other party is related to a powerful existence like Ye Luo, he cannot be summoned during the Qi training period. At least that is the information he has found out, so he is very curious about what existence the other party is related to.
"It's a giant creature with two red curved horns. But I can only borrow a little of its power now. I can't summon it completely. Moreover, it consumes a lot of energy. Summoning it once can cost me half my life."
Ling Qianxue did not hide anything and answered truthfully.
"Can you tell me how powerful that being is?"
When Chen Lin heard that the creature summoned by the other party was different from Ye Luo, he immediately asked curiously. He had a feeling that sooner or later he would have to deal with these alien beings, so it would be useful to know some of them in advance.
Ling Qianxue smiled and said, "There's nothing to hide. I don't know how strong the creature is, but I can reach the God Transformation level just by borrowing a little bit of its power, so it should be very powerful."
Her words surprised Luo Qinglan and others. Yang Zishi even showed envy. She was also in the Foundation Establishment Stage now. If she could use such terrifying power like the other party, she could help Senior Chen do a lot of things, and the senior would pay more attention to her.
Unfortunately, although her talents have been stimulated, she still hasn't figured out what they are for, which makes her very distressed.
Chen Lin made a secret assessment in his mind and felt that the creature summoned by the other party should be similar to Ye Luo's. Ye Luo's skeleton was suspected to be related to the White Bone Saint Lord, which was the Mahayana stage.
After thinking for a while, he reminded her, "Sometimes good things can be bad things, and bad things can be good things. Although summoning alien creatures can make you very powerful, you can't rely on it too much. It's better to rely on your own cultivation."
He spoke very cryptically, fearing that the being the other party was connected to would sense it.
If he was not in this environment, he would not have said these. After all, he and the other party were just casual acquaintances, but the other party's attitude was good, which made him feel a little good about him.
"Um."
Ling Qianxue's eyes flashed and she nodded slightly.
Seeing that the other party understood what he meant, Chen Lin secretly praised him for his intelligence and said no more.
Turning his head, he looked at Yang Zishi again.
"Have you activated your innate ability? What type is it?"
He just asked about the type and had no intention of asking in detail. He just wanted to get a general idea so that he could speculate what the other party would encounter if he came into contact with the immortal monument and give some advice.
Yang Zishi's face immediately turned red, and he said weakly, "Master, I haven't figured it out yet."
"Didn't figure it out?"
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then said: "Don't worry, you will know sooner or later, but if you have to touch the immortal tablet, you must stay calm. I guess the immortal tablet tests your mastery of talent. You will be at a disadvantage if you don't know the purpose, so don't panic."
After being reminded, he stopped talking and focused his attention on his surroundings, carefully examining the environment.
The space here is very large, and even if more than ten thousand people are spread out, it does not feel crowded. However, after leaving a certain range from the immortal monument, the number of dry bones underfoot becomes fewer, revealing a hard ground surface. After trying several locations, none of them could shake it at all.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, have you noticed that there are so many dry bones here, but there are no items other than bones? Logically speaking, if these dry bones are the result of the death of the people who came here, then there should be something left behind."
Zhuge Hengyun spoke after turning over a pile of bones.
Chen Lin also had such doubts. If this immortal monument was opened once every ten thousand years, then these bones should have weathered. But now these bones are still very hard, as if they were fresh.
"Is it possible that someone who came later took everything away?"
Luo Qinglan proposed a possibility, and then said: "But in this case, it means that this place is not a dead place, and it is not opened only once every ten thousand years."
Several people nodded, thinking that this possibility was very high.
And only in this way will they have a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, if the immortal monument really kills whoever touches it, they will have no way out.
Several people walked further away while discussing.
As the distance increased, the spatial fluctuations became more and more unstable, until it became impossible to move forward.
"No, there is turbulence in space ahead. Even a Void Refining expert cannot survive in it. It seems impossible to leave through other channels."
Luo Qinglan stopped in front, sensed for a while and then spoke.
She has spatial abilities, and even she said so. Chen Lin and others immediately stopped moving forward and changed direction to go back.
Halfway through, Chen Lin pulled Yang Zishi aside, gave him some instructions, and said, "Relax your mind and don't resist." Then he used his innate magical powers to manifest the other party's destiny in his mind.
What surprised Chen Lin was that the little fish transformed by the other party was very solid, which showed that the other party's talent was very strong and of a very high level.
In addition, the fate line in front of the other party is not too complicated, and there are no obvious breaks in the part that can be revealed, which means that the other party will not be in danger of life in the short term.
Chen Lin felt relieved.
Although the future has infinite possibilities, the fact that there is no break now does not mean that there will be no break in the future, but the probability of change in the short term is still not very high. The other party's destiny line is intact, which at least means that the other party has a chance to leave here alive.
He dispersed the picture, and then revealed the line of his own destiny.
Just like before, the main line is light gold, but it is thin and small, and the other branch lines appear very dark, but there are no obvious breaks.
After looking at it for a while, Chen Lin dispersed the screen.
When he just came in, he had triggered his own destiny scene once, and it was no different from now. This means that he also has the opportunity to leave, and the probability is very high.
He also looked at Luo Qinglan's, and there was no gap either.
As for Zhuge Hengyun, Ling Qianxue and others, he didn't even look at them.
Firstly, he didn't want to expose his talents and abilities. Secondly, even if he saw the gap, he was powerless to correct it now, unless he used the strong luck technique to increase his power of luck. These people were not worth the price he had to pay, so it made no sense whether he looked at them or not.
Several people returned to the vicinity of the Immortal Monument and reunited with the people from Liangyi City.
People from other teams also returned one after another and exchanged information with each other. The results of everyone's exploration were almost the same. Except for this immortal monument, there was no possibility of leaving anywhere else.
Therefore, even though this immortal monument has caused the deaths of three people, and can also turn healthy people into dry bones, and has signs of devouring others to replenish itself, and may even be activated and undergo unpredictable changes, we can only continue to explore and research it.
After some discussion, the elders decided to draw lots.
The team that was drawn this time was Team 3, a large force in the northern part of the continent.
However, this team did not select the old cultivator, but instead sent out a young woman in white.
This woman has a beautiful face and an extraordinary temperament. Standing there she is like a real fairy, making people feel ashamed of themselves.
"Why is it her!"
As soon as this woman came out, Li Chenshui's eyes showed surprise and he spoke in a low voice.
"Does your Excellency know this woman?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately asked.
Li Chenshui nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen may not have been to the north of the continent, so he is not familiar with her. This woman is a very famous figure, the Saint of the Wanling Sect—Ximen Wuxue!"
"It turned out to be her. The Wanling Cult is crazy. How could they let the Saint Girl come out to die!"
Without waiting for others to speak, Shen Baiquan cried out in astonishment, his eyes constantly looking at the woman in white, seeming to find it very unbelievable.
Chen Lin was also shocked.
The Wanling Sect is extremely famous. It is the overlord-level existence in the northern part of the Tianfang Continent. It can be said that it is extremely powerful and has countless followers.
The leader of the Wanling Sect, Patriarch Wanling, is also a powerful person in the Hedao realm, and his seniority is even older than that of the ancestor of the Murong family.
Because he had been operating in the southern part of the continent, he didn't know much about the Wanling Sect. However, to be able to become the saint of such a top-level sect, she must be extraordinary, at least she must have a cultivation level above the Spirit Transformation level, not to mention her aptitude.
Such a person was definitely not coerced or tempted by rewards, but was asked for it on his own initiative.
Could it be that the other party saw something from the immortal monument
Not only Chen Lin and his group, but everyone who knew this saint was surprised.
"Fellow Daoist Ximen, the details of this immortal tablet have not yet been discovered. You don't have to show up in person. If the Wanling Sect cannot choose someone, our Murong family can send someone for you."
The representative of the Murong family took a few steps forward and looked at Ximen Wuxue and tried to persuade him.
The rules of the Elder Council were initiated by their Murong family. If they caused the death of the Holy Maiden of the Wanling Sect because of this, it would be difficult to explain to the Wanling Sect if they left afterwards.
"It doesn't matter. Three people have already died. Let me give it a try!"
Ximen Wuxue spoke softly, looking at the immortal monument from afar, with no expression on his face.
The people of the Murong family did not try to persuade him any further.
He was just expressing his attitude. Since the other party was willing to go, it had nothing to do with him. Moreover, the other party was very mysterious and had extremely powerful methods. Perhaps he could really make the immortal monument undergo new changes.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ximen Wuxue's figure slowly floated up, like Chang'e flying to the moon, and flew towards the immortal monument!
