In a blink of an eye, three months passed.
The aftermath of the interface turmoil gradually stabilized, the floods basically receded, and post-disaster reconstruction began in various places.
It may take a long time for the mortal world to recover, but for monks, rebuilding is very easy. The worst that can happen is that they just need to move to a new place to live.
After the fusion of the continents, many new terrains and landforms were squeezed out of the original Silent Sea area. These are all unowned lands and can be chosen at will.
For example, everyone on Tianbao Peak moved to a new mountain.
According to Chen Ling'er, she wanted to move Tianbao Peak as a whole, but Chen Linxian didn't take any action because the noise was too loud.
The new base occupies more than a dozen mountains in the entire area, and has moved a large, top-grade spiritual vein here, stabilized it with a formation, and also transplanted many exotic flowers and plants and precious trees. The future environment will be better than that of Tianbao Peak.
Of course, except for the relocation of the spiritual vein, all of this was done by the people below, under the supervision of Chen Ling'er, who also named this place Yucai Sect.
Chen Lin didn't care about this and stayed with Cheng Lingdie, studying the words on the wall with her.
"Sir, now that we have confirmed most of it, I feel like this text seems to be introducing a place."
Cheng Lingdie withdrew her gaze from the copied words, looked at Chen Lin and spoke.
"A place?"
Chen Lin muttered something and felt that it was possible.
If it really describes a location, it is most likely somewhere in the demon world scene within the node. In this case, the pattern on the stone slab is likely to be used there.
"How long will it take to decipher them all?"
Chen Lin asked.
He was now going to explore the scene inside the node, so he was a little anxious.
Although everywhere seems to be relatively calm, no one can guarantee whether the clone of Youluo will break through the seal. There is also the possibility that the remnant of immortals and gods may be revived, so we have to be on guard.
He clearly remembered that when Madam Miaoyin revealed Hua Ruyu's identity as a demon, she looked at him as if he were a dead person.
For this reason, after settling down, he sent Hua Ruyu to the Wanjie League scene. Even when he came out, he stayed indoors in the cave and tried to have as little contact with the outside world as possible.
Hearing Chen Lin's question, Cheng Lingdie immediately replied: "It will be soon. It will take less than two months at most."
"Okay, then hang on tight and don't get distracted."
Chen Lin nodded. He could still wait for two months.
At this time, Cheng Lingdie hesitated, looking as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Chen Lin couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Cheng Lingdie pursed her lips and said faintly, "Now my sister and I have both been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. I wonder when you will absorb the purple essence from our souls?"
So that's what happened.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to wait a little longer. What happened? Did something unexpected happen?"
Although he had already made an agreement with the other party that he would take care of the two sisters and they would offer him their purple souls, it was soul absorption after all, so there would inevitably be some dangers. Normally, it would be delayed as much as possible, but it was very unusual for the other party to take the initiative to propose it.
Cheng Lingdie took a breath, gritted her teeth, and said as if she had made a decision, "To be honest, sir, since we were promoted to Nascent Soul, the purple essence in our souls has shown signs of spreading, and as our cultivation level improves, this sign becomes more and more obvious. I'm afraid that once it completely spreads and merges into the soul, it will be impossible for you to absorb it."
Chen Lin was stunned on the spot.
It was really surprising.
He originally thought that as their cultivation level improved, the sisters' purple soul sources would increase in number, but he did not expect that they would begin to spread and merge.
What was even more unexpected to him was that the other party actually took the initiative to bring up this matter!
He couldn't help but look at the other person deeply.
If the other party didn't say anything, then when the purple soul source completely dissipated, he would not be able to do anything to the two sisters. They could just say that they didn't feel anything and didn't know when it disappeared.
Moreover, this purple soul source is obviously extraordinary and must be of great use to them. It should be considered a kind of soul talent. The fact that the other party can take the initiative to talk about it under such circumstances makes him feel very complicated.
Chen Lin stretched out his hand and placed it on Cheng Lingdie, examining her carefully and discovered that it was indeed as she had said. The purple color in the origin of her soul began to spread and fade.
Pulling his hand back, he hesitated.
After a long while, he said, "Forget it. Since the fusion has already begun, if you continue to absorb it, your life may be in danger. You should just keep it for yourself!"
Chen Lin shook his head secretly, feeling helpless.
With his understanding of the soul, he knew that even if they were stripped now, the two would have no chance of survival, as all of their soul sources had been tainted by purple.
If there was only damage, or even a fall in realm, he would be ruthless in doing it, but if it was life-threatening, after living together for so many years, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
In addition, he could not be sure whether the opponent's purple soul could be absorbed. He had never tried it. If it conflicted with his soul after absorption, it would be no joke.
He has not absorbed and used it for so many years, because he wanted to wait for the Purple Soul to grow stronger and then split a part of it for experiments, but the current situation obviously does not allow this.
Then just give up and be a good person for once.
Now it was Cheng Lingdie's turn to stand there in a daze.
Slowly, two crystal tears slid down from the corners of my eyes, and the complex emotions in my heart were difficult to express in words.
"grown ups… "
Cheng Lingdie was about to say something, but Chen Lin waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It's not easy for me to be generous once. Don't make me regret it again!"
After saying that, he turned and left the room.
After a while, Cheng Lingchan rushed in from outside and asked anxiously, "Sister, what did the adults say? When will they absorb our soul source?"
Cheng Lingdie gently wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes, revealed a brilliant smile, and said, "The master said forget it, he will no longer absorb our souls, and let us keep them for ourselves, saying that he is afraid that we will be in danger."
"Really? Your Excellency really said that?"
Cheng Lingchan's eyes widened, somewhat unconvinced.
"What else? Do you still think I'm teasing you?"
Cheng Lingdie glanced at her sister and began to be dazed again.
"Haha, I said that it is impossible for adults to ignore our feelings and just use us as tools. He still cares about us!"
Cheng Lingchan suddenly became excited, and then blinked her big eyes and said, "Sister, do you think the adults like us?"
Cheng Lingdie rolled her eyes at her sister and said, "I don't know. How about you offer yourself to be my mistress?"
After saying this, I couldn't help but blush.
…
Chen Lin felt a little regretful as soon as he left the room.
After raising it for so long with great difficulty, it turned out to be like this. If I had known earlier, I would have extracted it and tested it in advance. I hope the two of them can be grateful and not let him lose everything, otherwise he will really be cruel and kill them.
To be honest, he really didn't have any improper thoughts about the two sisters.
Maybe he had done that before, but as his realm improved, his mentality also changed. He no longer cared so much about matters between men and women, but cared more about the understanding of the Tao.
He found that when he was immersed in the artistic conception of the Tao, the mysterious feeling was very intoxicating and even better than the pleasure between men and women.
No wonder those Void-Refining cultivators would go into seclusion for dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of years. I originally thought that it was due to their great willpower, but now I know that cultivation is not so monotonous and boring.
Of course, this only works if there is progress. If it gets stuck, it would be torture.
Since he had already given up, Chen Lin no longer thought about it, but entered the demon world to bring Hua Ruyu back.
He planned to let him stay in charge of the Yucai Sect, while he would go to various places to take a look at the situation and gather information.
But as soon as he entered the demon world, he learned from the other side that Connie wanted to see him.
"Did the other party tell me what he wanted to talk to me about?"
Chen Lin asked immediately after hearing this.
Last time, Connie wanted him to help find Xiaohong to rescue the other person's body, but he did not agree. He only wrote a letter to the other party and did not know whether the other party went to Xiaohong.
During this period, there were too many things happening in the world and he had no time to pay attention to the other party.
Hua Ruyu shook her head and said, "No, he just said he wanted to see you, the master. He arranged to meet you at a party, but the master hasn't come in yet, and I can't go out by myself. If the master doesn't come in, I'll miss it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin looked at the mark on the wall and discovered that the next gathering would be tomorrow. He thought to himself what a coincidence.
"Okay, come and have a look tomorrow!"
It was a turbulent time outside right now, and without strong guards, it was not advisable to stay outside for a long time. After a quick check of the situation inside and outside the cave, he took Hua Ruyu away.
The next day.
Chen Lin asked Hua Ruyu to look after his body before he felt at ease to enter the Demon Realm to attend the gathering of the Alliance of All Realms.
What surprised him was that there were a lot of people attending the party, more than twenty people, and more people kept coming in.
"Why are there so many unfamiliar faces? Could it be that someone robbed the bird's nest while I was away from the party?"
Chen Lin approached a young man with golden glow and asked in surprise.
This person was none other than Jin Xuanzi, whom he had met for the first time at a party. He had met him twice more afterwards and was barely familiar with him.
"hehe."
Jin Xuanzi laughed dryly in his metallic voice and said, "You are right. Someone robbed the bird's nest, and it was not someone else, but your lover."
"My lover?"
Chen Lin was slightly startled, then realized that the other party was talking about Lan Dieer.
Because Lan Die'er always deliberately flirted with him at parties, his familiar allies teased him like this.
I didn't expect it was this woman. She is quite capable and courageous.
The nests of those big birds outside are all in the rocky mountains in the distance. Not only do we need a secondary guide, but we also have to be on guard against being discovered and attacked by the big birds. It is impossible to succeed without some means.
"Brother Jin, do you know whether that woman got the colored egg?"
Chen Lin thought of colored bird eggs.
That is a live egg that can be hatched. If the other party can get it, he can also try it.
Jin Xuanzi said disdainfully: "She is far from being good enough. If she takes the eggs, she will be attacked by the big birds. Those big birds are not vegetarians!"
"Oh? So, Brother Jin dared to take it. Why not show me one? Don't just talk and don't practice!"
At this moment, a charming voice sounded, and then the cool figure of Lan Die'er appeared.
