Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

"The Ask-the-Heavens Secret Realm?"

Shen Lin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head decisively.

The Immortal Venerable smiled and said, "Indeed, even among our great clans, only a few people know about this matter."

Gently raising his hand, the light and ethereal Dao aura spread out, refilling Shen Lin's teacup once more, the Immortal Venerable continued:

"The Ask-the-Heavens Secret Realm is a mysterious place accidentally discovered by Sky Pivot Island. It only opens once every ten million years."

"It contains extraordinary mysteries, with all sorts of magical creatures that do not belong to the Chaos Sea."

"Likewise, it also contains various miraculous items that are greatly beneficial to cultivators."

"Among them, there is even a special spiritual herb that can allow an ordinary mortal to break through to the Venerable Realm out of thin air!"

Hearing this, Shen Lin's pupils instantly constricted.

To allow an ordinary mortal to break through to the Venerable Realm...

Even the most outstanding alchemists in the Chaos Sea probably couldn't refine something so miraculous.

His thoughts turning, Shen Lin said, "This Ask-the-Heavens Secret Realm, is it about to open soon?"

"Do you want me to participate and seize some benefits for the Immortal Clan?"

The Immortal Venerable wouldn't bring up this matter without a reason.

The purpose was already very clear.

Moreover, Shen Lin also felt that this so-called Ask-the-Heavens Secret Realm must have some restrictions on cultivation level and number of participants.

Otherwise, at this crucial moment, a powerhouse like the Myriad Laws Dao Venerable would definitely be incredibly important.

Even if the Immortal Venerable wanted to seek justice for Shen Lin, he wouldn't deal with the Myriad Laws Dao Venerable at a time like this.

Sure enough, the Immortal Venerable's next words confirmed Shen Lin's guess.

"The Ask-the-Heavens Secret Realm is extremely mysterious. We old fellows have been researching it for so long, but we haven't made much progress."

"We only know that each time the secret realm opens, only ten people can enter."

"Moreover, the Dao aura within is chaotic. If someone with a Dao Fruit enters, their own Dao Fruit will be affected. In less than ten breaths, the Dao Fruit will be contaminated, turning them into a mindless monster!"

"Originally, for this secret realm, our Immortal Clan had specially suppressed the cultivation of the most outstanding genius among the younger generation, stopping at the Saint Realm without breaking through, hoping to gain something after entering the secret realm."

"But now, with you, this..." The Immortal Venerable paused, then continued, "...freak!"

"With your strength entering it, whether it's the monsters inside the secret realm or those geniuses from other clans, none of them will be able to pose any threat to you..."

You're trying to say 'monster,' aren't you!

Shen Lin could see the unspoken meaning in the Immortal Venerable's strange gaze.

Indeed, his current strength, although only at the Saint Realm, was such that even most Venerable Realm cultivators were no match for him.

Letting him enter a secret realm only participated in by Saint Realm cultivators was indeed like kissing Qin Shi Huang—a guaranteed win!

"No problem!" Shen Lin nodded directly without the slightest hesitation.

"What's the goal? That so-called spiritual herb that can directly allow someone to break through to the Venerable Realm?"

"And those so-called geniuses from the great clans, do you want me to help you kill them all?"

Since coming to the Immortal Clan, Shen Lin had indeed received a lot of care from them.

Now that they had such a small favor to ask of him, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

However, after hearing Shen Lin's words, the Immortal Venerable quickly waved his hand and said, "Hey, hey, hey, even if we great clans don't get along very well on weekdays, you can't kill all the younger generation geniuses that they've worked so hard to nurture, can you?"

"Leave one or two at least!"

The Immortal Venerable dissuaded him, then continued, "As for the goal, it's not that kind of spiritual herb!"

"It's another special product of the Ask-the-Heavens Secret Realm."

"The Ask-the-Heavens Dao Crystal!"

Under the Immortal Venerable's explanation, Shen Lin understood some of the circumstances surrounding the so-called Ask-the-Heavens Dao Crystal.

The origin of the name Ask-the-Heavens Secret Realm was due to this miraculous crystal.

It was a type of transparent crystal, similar to shards, that could be used to glimpse some events of the future.

In the Chaos Sea, the most skilled at glimpsing the future were undoubtedly the cultivators of Sky Pivot Island.

However, their so-called glimpsing of the future was at most relying on existing conditions to make deductions, and not things that were destined to happen.

But this Ask-the-Heavens Dao Crystal seemed to contain the power of the Great Dao of Time.

The future seen through the Ask-the-Heavens Dao Crystal was a reflection of the River of Time, and could be said to be events that would inevitably occur in the future.

Hearing this, Shen Lin curiously asked, "Since they are things that are bound to happen, then if you discover them and make targeted arrangements, wouldn't you be able to change the future?"

"Then how can the changed future be called something that is bound to happen?"

"If it's a future that cannot be changed no matter what you do, then what's the point of you glimpsing it?"

There's a problem with this logic.

After hearing Shen Lin's question, the Immortal Venerable didn't deny it, but only sighed with a wry smile and said softly, "It cannot be changed!"

"But in terms of details, some arrangements can be made."

Shen Lin pondered for a moment, as if he understood something, and gave an example, "For example, I see that you will be hacked to death one day in the future."

"You can't change the fact that you will die, but you can choose a more comfortable way to die?"

"Is that what you mean?"

The principle is the same, but your example...

The Immortal Venerable shook his head helplessly and said, "Just think of it that way!"

"Anyway, when the time comes, if you can find the Ask-the-Heavens Dao Crystal, just bring it back to me!"

Shen Lin nodded and said, "Okay!"

Seeing him agree, the Immortal Venerable breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he picked up a white chess piece from the table and threw it to Shen Lin.

"When you go to the Demon Clan later, if you are entangled by the old fogeys of the Demon Clan after things are over and cannot escape, you can crush this chess piece."

"Since you have already agreed to help our Immortal Clan enter the Ask-the-Heavens Secret Realm, try not to die before then."

Shen Lin took the white chess piece and smiled, "Don't worry, I haven't lived enough yet."
