In more than a year, in addition to "selling" Qianli Teleshen and firearms everywhere, Ye Zan also explored several relatively small restricted areas. However, what is more disappointing is that there are not many "valuable" things left in those restricted areas, and some even leave empty-handed.
After all, not all restricted Jedi areas are shrouded in the mist of the evil demon from outside the world, which can block the intrusion of desolate beasts. Some of the so-called forbidden areas are just restricted by some formations, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter and exit safely. However, facing wild beasts with extremely high "magic resistance", those formation restrictions have little effect. As a result, several restricted areas that Ye Zan visited later had been razed to the ground by wild beasts as early as countless thousands of years ago.
Of course, this is also because the restricted areas that Ye Zan explored were all entered through the coordinates of the teleportation circle. In other words, most of the predecessors of those forbidden Jedi places were the same as the original forbidden places, which were dojos left by certain sects in ancient times.
Not all of those sect dojos experienced the same experience as the previous sect. Most of them voluntarily abandoned the dojos and evacuated. After all, in the wilderness after the world collapsed, it was impossible to live a life guarding the dojo cave as before. Maybe, a certain tribe in the wilderness now came out of this forbidden dojo.
In the case of the Great Wilderness Territory, perhaps due to the raging wild beasts, most of these restricted areas have basically no value for exploration. The most valuable thing is really the place where the immortals and demons fell. At least the corpses of the immortals and demons are priceless treasures.
Of course, the place where the immortals and demons fell is not easy to explore. No one knows what will evolve from the corpses of the immortals and demons. Even if the current world does not allow the existence of power above the Tongtian realm, it does not mean that the Tongtian Supreme can run rampant in all directions. If you, a Supreme Being, meet ten or one hundred opponents of the same level, you will die or die.
Fortunately, Ye Zan has the memory of the evil demon outside that day, although he doesn’t know how the place where the evil demon outside that day fell has changed after countless years. However, compared to other places where immortals and demons fell, he was at least not completely ignorant. At least he knew the nature of the power of the demons outside that day.
Another point is that in Ye Zan's hand, there is the core of the evil spirit outside that day, which can be regarded as a key thing. Although, Ye Zan is not sure what kind of role this thing can play in the place where the evil spirits outside that day fell. However, having such a thing in hand, a thing that is closely connected with the evil spirits outside the world, will still be of some use.
Therefore, after the popularity of Thousand Miles of Souls and firearms no longer required his own special promotion, Ye Zan put it on his agenda to explore the place where the evil spirits outside the world fell.
Earlier, when he first explored the forbidden area, Ye Zan had this plan and mentioned it to the Supreme Dao Yuan. As for Daoyuan Supreme, out of concern for Ye Zan's safety, he did not immediately agree to the plan at that time, but instead put forward a condition that was not a condition.
The meaning of Dao Yuan Zhizun is that Ye Zan should make preparations first. If the preparations make him feel at ease, he will agree to take this risk with Ye Zan. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Ye Zan to take this risk, and he couldn't refuse Ye Zan too simply, so he had to put forward such a condition.
However, even though he knew the other meaning of Daoyuan Zhizong, Ye Zan still did not give up this plan and made full preparations according to his own ideas. This time, he not only made preparations for equipment, weapons and other materials, but also moved the war fortress to the sky above that area, so that more support could be provided at any time.
"Fellow Taoist, do you have to go in?" After listening to Ye Zan's preparation, the Supreme Dao Yuan reluctantly made the final decision to Ye Zan.
"Senior, I also know that this trip may be a bit willful. However, faced with such a rare opportunity, if I give up just now, I will still be a little unwilling." Although Ye Zan's tone was tactful, his attitude was very firm. .
"But, your preparations..." Daoyuan Supreme shook his head slightly. He was not very optimistic about Ye Zan's preparations, but he couldn't directly deny anything. He could only say tactfully: "The evil demon outside that day was fighting with the immortal." The remains of a strong man who died in the battle in the court caused an Earth Immortal Taoist to be killed. His corpse contained all the power he had during his lifetime. Even if some of it was worn away by the years, I'm afraid. It’s not easy to deal with either.”
"Senior, I can understand what I mean! But in this world, what can be done without taking risks? I have made all the preparations I can, and I think I can be 60 to 70% sure about this trip. This is actually It's enough. Even if there is an accident that we can't handle at all, it shouldn't be a problem to retreat safely." Ye Zan expressed his considerations and also expressed his imperative attitude.
Indeed, everything in this world has risks. You may choke to death when eating. Nothing is absolutely safe. For many people, having a 30 to 40 percent certainty of exploring a restricted area, let alone 60 to 70 percent certainty, is enough for them to take desperate risks.
And more importantly, Ye Zan has a trump card in his hand. The merit tablet has not been used for a long time, and it has already accumulated enough merits to scare people to death. If he really encounters danger and encounters a problem that he cannot solve by any means, the merit monument as the last trump card will be enough to protect the safety of his group.
"Since fellow Daoist is so determined, I have no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany you." Seeing that Ye Zan could not be persuaded, the Supreme Dao Yuan had no choice but to nod his head and said.
"Senior, don't worry. I have a monument of merit from Immortal Court. Even if we encounter the worst situation, I believe it can be enough to protect our safety." Although the other party had already nodded, in order to make the other party feel more at ease, Ye Zan still told him about the merit monument.
In fact, Ye Zan's merit monument is no longer a secret. On the other side of the Shenhua Realm, Ye Zan used the Merit Monument more than once, and even used it to scare away the Dragon Saint from the East China Sea. However, no matter what others speculate, Ye Zan has not made anything clear here, so it is equivalent to an open "secret".
When he arrived at the Great Wilderness Realm, Ye Zan certainly had not used the Merit Monument. Although he did not intend to deliberately keep it secret, there was no need to tell everyone about it in person. Therefore, it was not until now that Ye Zan mentioned the merit monument in order to reassure Daoyuan Supreme, and revealed this secret that was not actually a secret.
"The Monument of Merits? If there really is a Monument of Merits from the Ancient Immortal Court in the hands of fellow Taoist, we can indeed use the merits to deal with many dangers. However, this merit is so rare. Fellow Taoist once said before that teleportation and firearms are both merits. Could it be that Is it because of this Merit Monument?" When Daoyuan Supreme heard the Merit Monument, he immediately thought of what Ye Zan had said before about earning merit.
Originally, when Daoyuan Supreme heard Ye Zan talk about earning merit, he just thought that Ye Zan, like other Taoists, was trying to accumulate merit to survive the catastrophe.
In fact, for people who do not have a merit monument, merit is a relatively illusory and ethereal statement. After all, no one has any way of knowing how much merit they have or what they can do to gain merit. Many people may always think that they are doing something to accumulate merit and that they have already gained merit, but the result is completely different from what they imagined.
Only by possessing a merit tablet can you quantify your merits, know how much merit you have, and even know what you can do to gain merit.
"Yes, if it weren't for this merit monument, I might still do these things, but I certainly wouldn't be so willing to pay the price." As Ye Zan spoke, he took down Xiao Baxia, who had been lying on his shoulder.
After Xiaoba landed, his body quickly grew in size, and the merit monument on his back also grew in size, and the numbers on it were clearly displayed. Of course, Xiao Baxia did not return to his normal size. In fact, he still shrank his body, just so that the words on the merit tablet could be clearly displayed. Otherwise, based on Xiaobaxia's current growth situation, it would have to be at least the size of a house to be considered normal.
"This...it turns out this is the Merit Monument!" When Daoyuan Supreme saw the Merit Monument and the numbers displayed on it, he was startled again and said in surprise: "Fellow Taoist... Could it be that the numbers on it are... Fellow Taoist’s merits?”
Ye Zan has done a lot of things to accumulate merit over the years, and he has almost never used any merit. Even if the Dragon Saint from the East China Sea came to visit, he would only use the intimidating power of the Merit Monument to frighten the opponent into fleeing hastily. Later, when faced with the Dragon Clan's attack, he did not use the Merit Monument, but relied on the strength of his sect and allies to force the Dragon Clan to the negotiating table.
Therefore, up to now, coupled with the merits gained in the Great Wilderness Realm, the numerical value on the Merit Monument is already very scary. It is no exaggeration to say that the merits on Ye Zan's merit monument are enough to protect the safety of his group even if they encounter a true immortal-level opponent.
"Even now, if we had placed it in the ancient times, the merits of fellow Taoists would have truly made them immortals!" said the Supreme Tao Yuan with great envy.
In ancient times, the Immortal Court was in charge of the avenue of heaven and earth. In addition to the ordinary way of cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal, there was another path to becoming an immortal through merit. This is actually in the same line as the merits and virtues that people often talked about in the prehistoric period, but later on people could not obtain enough merits to become saints, so they could only pursue one merits and virtues to become immortals.
Becoming an immortal through meritorious deeds, being favored by the great road of heaven and earth, and having the "special treatment" of not dying in the face of great disasters can be regarded as another way to enjoy freedom in the world.
Although the debating power of meritorious immortals may not be as good as those of immortals who have gained through cultivation, they cannot be bullied by just anyone. Moreover, it is precisely because of the merits of the body that anyone who bullies the meritorious immortals will be hated by heaven and earth. As a result, many immortals, or demons, do not dare to provoke the meritorious immortals easily, or they try their best to please the meritorious immortals so that they can get some benefits from them.
It's a pity that after the collapse of heaven and earth, probably due to the damage to the origin of the world, this path of meritorious deeds and immortality was almost cut off. Of course, a more important reason is that merit is too difficult to obtain. Things that are easy to obtain merit have been done by predecessors, and future generations can only look forward to it and sigh.
"Senior, you are very polite. I am able to have these merits. On the one hand, it is a coincidence, and on the other hand, I have the guidance of this merit monument. Otherwise, God knows what to do to have merit. Maybe you have worked hard to do something big, but it has also been damaged. It’s my own merit,” Ye Zan said slightly modestly.
"Well, since fellow Taoists have brought out all the merit tablets and have such amazing merits to protect themselves, I can feel completely at ease about this trip to the forbidden area." The Supreme Tao Yuan said with emotion. He now understood that even without his own protection, Ye Zan could enter and exit any restricted area just by relying on this merit monument. However, merit is not easy to obtain after all. In some cases, other methods can be used, so naturally it is better to use other methods first.
After Ye Zan put up the merit monument, Daoyuan Supreme had no worries at all, and there was no longer any reason to oppose Ye Zan's plan to explore the place where evil spirits fell.
After transferring through the teleportation circle and walking a long distance in the wild, Ye Zan and his party finally arrived at the edge of the forbidden land.
The scope of this forbidden area is huge, far beyond the comparison of the previous small forbidden areas. I am afraid it is more than enough to cover the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the forbidden power of this forbidden area comes from the power of the corpses of evil spirits escaping from the sky. Therefore, these wild beasts are instinctively afraid and dare not break into it at will.
In addition, due to the power of evil spirits outside that day, this place is similar to the forbidden area that Ye Zan first explored, and it was also shrouded in thick fog.
At the edge of the forbidden area, Ye Zan first sacrificed the jade ball into the air, and then released an anti-gravity suspended armored vehicle from the jade ball space. This suspended armored vehicle was specially built by him for this exploration. It has a very spacious space inside and is equipped with various weapons and exploration equipment.
After all, this forbidden area is too large, and he doesn't know what the situation is inside. Ye Zan doesn't want the group to explore in the fog. With this suspended armored vehicle, he can let everyone ride in it. On the one hand, it will be more convenient to travel, and on the other hand, it can also prevent some minor harassment.
As for the reason why I didn't choose to use this armored vehicle when I came here before, it was to avoid being harassed by wild beasts. After all, in the wilderness, the target of this armored vehicle is too big, and the speed is not very fast, so it is not a good transportation tool.
After releasing the suspended armored vehicle, Ye Zan did not stop, but continued to release a large number of spider robots and a large number of Zerg soldiers from the jade ball space. The role of these spider robots and Zerg warriors is the same as the previous exploration of forbidden areas. On the one hand, they expand the scope of exploration, and on the other hand, they also guard against other enemies.
