Chen Lin did not make public the fact that he had been promoted to the realm of refining emptiness. He began to retreat after returning to Tianbao Peak.
Publishing information is nothing more than increasing one's status and position, which will help in collecting resources, but he doesn't need it now, and it will instead cause a lot of trivial matters.
Apart from anything else, the Elders' Council of Wanling Mountains will definitely come to him and ask him to join the Council, and celebrations, sermons, and so on will follow.
He didn't want to build any power, nor did he want to become famous, he just wanted to practice in peace.
Therefore, the news was kept strictly secret, and even except for a few of their own disciples, the other disciples did not know about it.
Tianbao Peak is still the same as before, with everyone doing their job.
Of course, Qin Lingyu and others were extremely happy, and the family celebrated for several days.
On this day, somewhere in the Wanling Mountains.
Suddenly, the space on the top of a high mountain shook, and a figure walked out from the void.
It was Chen Lin.
He nodded, looking satisfied.
It took him a year to completely consolidate his cultivation, and he is now testing his ability to travel through the void.
Only after experiencing it personally did he understand the huge difference between the Refining Void Realm and the Transformation Spirit Realm. In addition to traveling through the void, the body has undergone a qualitative change and reached another state, making it difficult for ordinary magic weapons to harm it.
If he didn't have the Thunder God's Sword, it would be impossible for him to kill Ancestor Ling Tian by leaping levels.
In the previous several battles against higher levels, they all relied on the Thundergod Sword. The gap between the realms could only be filled by a magic weapon like the innate spiritual treasure.
In addition to the body, the Nascent Soul and the Primordial Spirit became purer, especially the increase in the soul, which surprised Chen Lin very much.
He actually broke through to the late third stage!
Although he only crossed a small bottleneck, it was a qualitative change. If he hadn't relied on the mysterious energy after the heavenly tribulation, it would have taken him an unknown amount of time to break through this small bottleneck.
Chen Lin felt that his current soul strength had already surpassed the Refinement Void Realm. Even a Dao Yun strongman could not reach this level. Unfortunately, he had come into contact with too few He Dao Realm cultivators, so he could not judge who was stronger between him and the He Dao cultivator.
However, one thing can be concluded that the so-called true soul state is at least comparable to the Mahayana level of soul strength. Even... Immortal!
Chen Lin's heart was filled with emotion when he thought of this. If he could really match the immortals, that would be too powerful and would definitely have endless uses.
But at the same time, he also knew that if it was really that high, then it would be extremely difficult to advance to the true soul state, and it would not be as easy as he imagined.
He even has a feeling now that his body, as a container, can no longer accommodate a stronger soul. If his cultivation does not improve, his soul will no longer be able to improve, unless he abandons his physical body and turns to cultivating the soul.
This was actually the reason why he had been unable to break through to the late third stage, but he just didn't think about it in this way.
After a brief thought, Chen Lin calmed his mind and continued to practice his ability to travel through the void.
Ten days later.
Chen Lin traveled around the Beiyuan Continent and returned to Tianbao Peak.
Although theoretically one can live forever after advancing to the Refining Void stage, it does not mean one can really sit back and relax. Cultivation is like rowing against the current, if one does not advance, one will regress, so one must not slack off.
Moreover, he inquired from many sources and consulted ancient books, and found out that other people had experienced the inner demon tribulation when they were promoted to the realm of refining emptiness, but the part about his later life was not included. He didn't know who owned the giant sword and why he was pulled into that space.
This matter cannot be announced publicly. You can only seek advice from people you can trust, and they have to be cultivators above the level of Refinement Void.
He didn't know many people like this, so he could only slowly find the answer.
Inside the cave.
Chen Lin let out a breath.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he flipped his hand and took out a ring.
The ring was as white as jade, with a faint mark on it. It was exactly the immortal ring!
The immortal mark on this item had been almost worn away by his innate power, but the last trace was extremely tough and could never be removed.
Now that he has been promoted to the realm of refining emptiness, there has been great improvement in all aspects, even his use of innate power has been enhanced a lot. It should be almost possible to solve it.
Gently touching the mark on the ring, Chen Lin began to clean it with anticipation.
Then his expression brightened with joy.
Sure enough, after entering the realm of refining emptiness, the mark that had been motionless showed signs of being shaken again. The true face of this ring was finally revealed!
It looks easy but is harder to do.
That last trace of the mark was shaky, but it took nearly three months to completely remove it.
As the mark on it dissipated, the function of the ring came to light.
This is the storage ring that Chen Lin most wants!
What would be inside an immortal's storage ring
Even with Chen Lin's state of mind, he couldn't help but feel his chest heaving, and he couldn't wait to get a glimpse of what was going on.
But he still held back and instead took out a Jindan puppet, controlled the puppet to leave a mental mark on the ring, and probed his spiritual consciousness into it.
The methods of the immortals are not something that can be guessed by people at his level. If the other party leaves any means inside to prevent outsiders from spying, he will not be able to deal with it.
But after some tests, nothing abnormal was found, so Chen Lin felt at ease to plant his own mark on it and probe his spiritual thoughts into it.
big!
Chen Lin's first impression was that it was huge. The space of this ring was larger than he had imagined. It was hundreds of feet wide and seemed very empty.
But what disappointed him a little was that this ring could not accommodate living things.
Originally, he thought that a storage ring used by immortals would be like the Small Spirit Realm, which could store not only dead objects but also living objects. In that case, he could take his family with him wherever he went. However, the internal space of this ring had no other functions except being large.
From this we can see that storage tools that can accommodate living things must be extremely rare, and even immortals cannot easily obtain them.
Calming his mind, Chen Lin continued to check the things inside.
The ring has a large space, but there is not much space for storing items. They are all concentrated in the center and divided into several areas. There are various shelves for storing items, but there are not many things on them.
The most common ones are strips of stone that are slightly longer than a thumb, as white as jade, and emitting pure energy fluctuations.
Chen Lin's eyes flashed and he took out a piece.
But after trying, I couldn't draw out the energy inside.
Judging from the quantity stored, this thing should be the "Spirit Stone" used by immortals. He can't use it, not because the energy of the "Spirit Stone" is not good, but because it is too good. The level is too high for him to absorb. Perhaps he needs to use the immortal's skills to absorb it.
Even though he couldn't use it, Chen Lin was very happy.
Just because it can’t be used now doesn’t mean it can’t be used in the future. It won’t go bad if you keep it.
After looking at it for a while, Chen Lin happily put away the stone strip, and then used his spiritual sense to detect other objects.
The first thing I looked at was the medicine area. There were not many pill bottles, only a dozen or so, all placed individually in exquisite grids.
With a thought, he took out all of them.
The storage space is isolated from the outside world. Even if a long time passes, the items inside will not deteriorate. What's more, it is a fairy ring, which has stronger isolation ability.
But after Chen Lin opened all the pill bottles, he looked confused.
It’s not that there are no pills inside, and the pills haven’t gone bad, but he doesn’t recognize any of them!
This is really like having a treasure mountain but being unable to do anything but watch. Even if the treasure is of a high quality, it is not good.
Helplessly, he could only put the pill bottle back.
He saw with his own eyes the destruction of the immortal's remaining soul, so he planned to use the ring himself, and Chen Ling'er had coveted the storage bracelet for a long time. The other party had also been promoted to the Spirit Transformation Realm, so he gave it to her.
Then, he looked towards the magic weapon area.
This area has even less stuff, only five items.
But when Chen Lin took it out, he immediately showed a look of ecstasy!
He was unable to activate four of the five items, nor could he figure out what level of treasures they were, but he successfully activated one of them, which looked like a shield woven from some green vines.
Judging from the consumption of mana, it can be felt that this should be a spiritual treasure of the Nengling level!
Although he didn't know why an immortal would keep a spiritual treasure of the Nengling level, it was a blessing from heaven for Chen Lin. Now, for him, a spiritual treasure of the Nengling level was more important than any immortal treasure.
He immediately began to test it, and finally confirmed with excitement that it was indeed a spiritual treasure of the Nengling level, and it seemed to be of a fairly high level.
The value of a defensive magic treasure of the Condensation Spirit Level is inestimable. Not to mention in the Tiancang Realm, even in the former Xingnan and Xingbei Realms, no one has ever heard of anyone owning it.
Become rich!
Chen Lin couldn't close his mouth because of laughing.
Neither the immortal stone nor the immortal treasure made him happy, but this shield woven with vines made him feel that the energy he had spent over the years to grind away the mark on the ring was not in vain.
After the excitement, Chen Lin looked towards the classics area with anticipation.
The owner of this ring obviously has a grudge against the remnant of Shura. There may be information about Luo in the classics, and the light from outside the realm may also be involved.
He took out all the classics and some jade slips at once.
Then, Chen Lin began to flip through the books.
Unexpectedly, most of the contents in the classics were recorded in an ancient writing system, and only those involving the secret techniques of martial arts were recorded in Taixu script.
From this, it can be seen that the immortal world does not use Taixu characters, but the ancient characters are
It is inherited from the writing system of the immortal world.
Without any textual barriers, Chen Lin could read very quickly.
A few days later, he sat in the practice room, lost in thought.
Among these classics, there are many skills and secret techniques, but he is not able to comprehend them now, and he is also unable to determine what level these skills and secret techniques are in the fairy world. But judging from the casual storage state, they should be just ordinary stuff.
He has no shortage of skills, and his magic skills are sufficient, so he has no regrets.
The reason why he fell into deep thought was that he had learned some secret information from some biographical books.
Some of them made him feel threatened.
