"Quantity of Tribulation?"
Lin Zixiao tried to steer the topic, wanting to understand something he didn't know but which the empress had vaguely revealed about the catastrophe.
"yes."
The First Emperor did not hide anything and nodded immediately: "It is indeed for the purpose of measuring the calamity."
But then he added: "But you don't have to be too anxious, or want to know something from me."
"This kind of calamity will surely sweep away countless lives, and no one will be able to escape unscathed. Before it truly begins, no one will know what caused this calamity and how it will end."
"The process of the catastrophe cannot be explained or understood. I just know this much, that's all."
The First Emperor expressed his attitude.
Obviously, even he didn't know what the catastrophe was. In other words, they knew that the catastrophe was coming, and that Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao were the ones who would be afflicted with it, but what exactly was this catastrophe, its beginning, process, and result
Know nothing!
At least for now.
Lin Zixiao pondered, she didn't think that the First Emperor was lying to her.
The matter of the catastrophe is of great importance. If the secret is leaked early, even the First Emperor, who is not even a true immortal, has already received the news. That would be too easy.
Now that we know nothing, it is more believable.
However, the doubts and worries in her heart did not diminish in the slightest.
At the same time, she became more curious.
"Emperor Shi Huang, I still have some doubts. I hope you can help me solve them."
"But it's okay."
The First Emperor said that as long as he knew it, he would never hide it.
"In that case, I am being presumptuous. From what you just said and the arrangements made by the First Emperor more than 2,000 years ago, it is not difficult to see that you, the First Emperor, are very optimistic about the reshaping of reincarnation. Or, it is more like a kind of obsession and stubbornness."
"That's what I'm curious about. Why are you so persistent, Emperor Qin Shi Huang?!"
If one is busy and making many preparations for the foundation of Heaven's Way - ghosts, Lin Zixiao thinks it is normal.
She herself has the Foundation of Heavenly Dao, and only after experiencing it personally can she understand how amazing its ability is. Therefore, it is reasonable for her to be busy for the Foundation of Heavenly Dao.
But the ultimate goal of the First Emperor was clearly not the Foundation of the Way of Heaven. In fact, the Foundation of the Way of Heaven was just a seemingly insignificant part of his ultimate goal!
His real purpose is to use the foundation of heaven - ghosts, to reshape reincarnation!!!
The foundation of the way of heaven is just an auxiliary and a tool!
So here comes the question.
What are the benefits of reshaping reincarnation
Why was the First Emperor so persistent? Was there some shocking secret? Most likely!
So, what is the secret
Lin Zixiao really found it hard to imagine what secret could be more attractive than the Foundation of Heavenly Dao.
No, not some, but much more attractive!
So at this moment, she couldn't help but ask the First Emperor about this, hoping to get his answer and gain some clues for analysis.
"Persistent?"
The First Emperor suddenly sighed: "It is indeed very persistent, but... so what?"
"I am indeed persistent."
"But my persistence is worth it!"
"You are a brave old Qin man, you are worthy of my kindness!"
"Their heroic spirits are all looking at me, waiting for me. I...can't let them down."
"I am the First Emperor Ying Zheng, and I promised them that I would bring them back home in glory!"
The First Emperor's face gradually became serious and solemn, and at the same time, there was nostalgia and emotion, as if he had instantly crossed thousands of years and returned to the past.
Is it really like this?!
Lin Zixiao was greatly surprised. He had never imagined that this was the purpose of the First Emperor!
She had guessed many possibilities and anticipated why the First Emperor would act like this, but the result at this moment was far beyond her expectations.
The First Emperor attached so much importance to the reconstruction of reincarnation that it almost surpassed the importance of the Heavenly Dao itself. The reason for this was actually to provoke the Qin people? !
Understood.
At this moment, Lin Zixiao understood everything, but he was still a little surprised and unbelievable.
The reason why the First Emperor had been thinking about recreating reincarnation for thousands of years was actually to revive those Qin people who died in the battle? !
It's not hard to imagine.
It should be in the hands of the First Emperor, and of course it is more likely that it seals the true spirits and souls of a large number of the old Qin people.
He thought about reviving them, but was unable to do so. Then, he thought of the legendary underworld.
Unable to be revived? Then what about reincarnation?!
That's all right, right
Although we don’t know the specific details, what we know now is shocking and astonishing enough.
Lin Zixiao never thought that the emperor was a tyrant, but he never thought that the First Emperor was such a loyal and righteous person!
cheat
There's no need for that.
At least in Lin Zixiao's opinion, the First Emperor was not lying now. On the contrary, he was clearly expressing his true feelings at this moment.
"how?"
The First Emperor looked at Lin Zixiao and asked softly, "Do you have an answer in your heart?"
"indeed."
Lin Zixiao nodded: "Besides, the First Emperor is willing to take such a huge risk to take me in, how can I refuse?"
"Then I'm sorry to bother you."
"Why bother?"
The First Emperor sighed: "As I said before, this is not only for you, but also for myself, the people I care about, and all the people in the world."
"You are a person who is destined to suffer a catastrophe. Everything in your future is destined to be extraordinary. If you die early, the future catastrophe..."
The First Emperor shook his head with a sigh, and then said: "You can stay in my Great Qin Immortal Dynasty and practice."
“No one will bother you about anything else.”
"Not only that, there are no more than five people who know your true identity, so you can stay here without worry."
"Of course, if you want to leave, I won't keep you."
"I asked you to come here and speak to you from the heart because I trust you, not because I have any requirements for you, and certainly not because I want to force you to do anything."
"clear."
Lin Zixiao nodded.
Then, there was a brief exchange.
Then Lin Zixiao left the Xianqin Palace and walked among the deserted palace complex, thinking secretly.
"Living in the Great Qin Dynasty... is indeed quite nice."
She nodded slightly: "It is indeed relatively safer, and both the Empress and the First Emperor are relatively trustworthy."
"Besides, no matter what, there is always a place to go."
"Anyway, it can't be worse than wandering around, right?"
Lin Zixiao knew very well how dangerous the current situation was and how bad it was for him and Lin Fan.
in other words···
The First Emperor and his men were so brave that they dared to take me in.
Not to mention whether they can be trusted, as long as they don't do anything to me at this moment, it is good news for me!
······
Goodbye, Empress.
Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lin Zixiao.
Seeing her like this, Lin Zixiao's mood improved a little. He grinned and chuckled. This smile was so charming that it made Shangguan Wan'er blush slightly.
"Have you met the First Emperor? How was it?" The empress said with a chuckle.
She didn't care about Shangguan Wan'er.
After all, they had long been as close as sisters, but Shangguan Wan'er had always been obsessed with the distinction between ruler and subject, and she did not dare to cross it.
“Unbelievable.”
Lin Zixiao whispered, and then added: "Beyond imagination."
"indeed."
The empress couldn't help laughing and said, "When I first met the First Emperor and heard him talk about what was on his mind, I even thought he was a lunatic."
"A complete and utter lunatic."
"But for some reason, he always has a strange charm that makes people want to believe him."
"Perhaps this is what is called personal charm?"
Lin Zixiao nodded slightly, then raised her eyebrows: "Empress, you wouldn't..."
"Uh-huh?"
She stretched out her hands and clenched her fists, but her thumbs kept flexing and extending.
The empress was stunned at first, then she understood and rolled her eyes: "I believe you, not like you. Besides, I am already past your age."
Shangguan Wan'er was stunned...
Um···
Girl? !!!
What the hell
She was confused.
At this moment, I really didn't understand the situation. I covered my red face, feeling uncomfortable and stunned.
Why do I blush
Maybe it's because I never thought that a 'cross-dressing man' could be so beautiful? More gorgeous than myself, or even the empress
Even just now, he was still thinking, when he has the chance in the future, should he secretly talk to Lin Fan and ask him how he came up with this "invincible appearance" now.
Results now...
The empress actually said, girl
Female
What the hell is going on
If you had told me earlier that I was a woman, would I have blushed?!
She was really puzzled and had a look on her face as if she had seen a ghost.
The empress was slightly surprised, but her expression remained unchanged: "Oh, young man."
"The way you look now makes it hard for people to associate you with a man. Even I can't help but make mistakes."
Lin Zixiao also remained calm and said with a smile: "If so, doesn't it mean that my disguise is close to perfection?"
On the surface, it was just a slip of the tongue, but in fact, the two people exchanged some information in an instant.
What the empress meant was: Apart from me and the First Emperor, even Shangguan Wan'er didn't know about this matter, so you can rest assured!
Lin Zixiao meant---It's okay, I trust you.
"Just find a palace to stay in. As long as the formation hasn't been activated, you can go there."
The empress smiled and seemed quite happy: "Would you like Wan'er to lead the way for you?"
"This... let's not use it."
"That's fine. After all, nine out of ten rooms in the First Emperor's palace are empty, so there's really no need to lead the way."
"As for Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, the two you met, I will inform you once they finish their deductions."
"That's troublesome." Lin Zixiao bowed and then said, "Excuse me, but is what the two of them are deducing related to the First Emperor's plan?"
"Yes." The empress nodded slightly.
Lin Zixiao understood, nodded and left.
It was not until Lin Zixiao walked away that Shangguan Wan'er could not help but complain: "I got goose bumps all over my body just now."
"I never thought that a man could play a peerless woman so naturally. There is no sense of incongruity in every glance, smile, and gesture."
“This is really…”
"Should I say, you are indeed a cross-dressing guy?"
She seemed to be unable to find the adjective and kept exclaiming.
The empress smiled calmly: "Who knows?"
"But, from what I have heard, men...may understand women better than women themselves."
"this???"
Shangguan Wan'er looked unconvinced: "Isn't it possible?"
"Even if it is what you said, Your Majesty, it is not without reason..."
The empress smiled but said nothing.
······
Lin Zixiao did not think much about it. He settled down in a palace and set up some formations from the period of cultivating immortals before he entered the state of enlightenment.
Time is running out, and one never knows when it will be exposed. Then, the real crisis will begin!
Therefore, every moment is extremely important. The earlier you break through, the earlier you will be able to protect yourself.
What's more...
The foundation of heaven is right on your head, and you have such an amazing plug-in turned on, but you don’t upgrade quickly. Instead, you wander around and waste time. You really deserve to die.
However, before going into seclusion, Lin Zixiao did not forget to record his discoveries and experiences over the past three days, so that when Lin Fan returned, he could immediately understand the current situation...
Three days later, Lin Zixiao went offline, and when Qi Zixiao came back online, her mind swept across the nearby area, and finally, her eyes locked on the space in front of her that was filled with chaotic energy.
"What is that?"
"It should be an area opened up by a powerful person. There is a teleportation array in it."
Sister Wu's message arrived just in time, and at the same time, transmitted all of Qi Zifan's experiences over the past three days.
In just a moment, Qi Zixiao learned everything that had happened in the past three days.
Especially Qi Zifan's guess, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
"If our dog thief's guess is true, then the time anchor point is not in the present, but in the future?"
"Or, in other words, the 'future' is the real 'present'."
"Whether it's the era of the myriad worlds that I live in or the era of the earth that the bastard is living in, in fact, they are all the 'past'!?"
"The evidence for this is that Ji Chutong's incarnation went to the ancient Earth and saved him..."
"This means that my 'future' self and Ji Chutong worked together to plan to save him and put it into action. This has already happened. It is in the past tense, not the 'future tense'."
"so···"
"Whether it's the dog thief or me, are they all ancient people? Are they just passing clouds and smoke?"
She frowned.
This kind of speculation is not very pleasant.
I thought I was in the 'present world' and the dog thief was in ancient times. Although they were in different timelines, it was not too troublesome after all and was relatively easy to understand.
But now I find that both I and the dog thief are just a part of history
"call···"
"There is still too little information at the moment. Don't think too much about it for now. Take care of yourself and the thief first, and don't let it die young."
"The future is still too far away. Even I don't know what will happen to me in the future. So, what we should focus on now is the present!"
"So, at this moment..."
"What do you think?"
Qi Zixiao stopped thinking about it himself and spoke softly, asking Ji Chutong, who was disguised as a beautiful woman.
At the same time, she couldn't help feeling a little sour.
Along the way, Qi Zifan and Ji Chutong changed their identities many times, including "brothers", "master and apprentice", brother and sister, etc., but now they are a couple
Even though I know it's all an act, and that I'm actually a girl and don't have that kind of 'function' or 'attribute', why do I always feel like I've eaten a lemon
It’s all that bastard’s fault!
She muttered secretly.
Ji Chutong didn't know what Qi Zixiao was thinking, and didn't even know that the person next to him had changed. She just murmured, "Mixed feelings."
"If it doesn't expose you and me, taking the teleportation array is naturally the best choice."
"But if it is exposed..."
"I think so too."
Qi Zixiao nodded, also a little hesitant.
The journey to the Heavenly Palace is too long, and the myriad worlds are really not just talk. It would be less easy for two mortal immortals to die if they are not hunted by others or do not go to those dangerous places themselves.
But it's really a waste of time to fly all the way there honestly.
"Or... let's just go for a little bit of fun."
Qi Zixiao finally frowned and said, "Although it has indeed attracted a lot of attention and gazes from people, there are still people chasing after the two of us."
"If we fly any slower, something bad might happen."
"Indeed, let's give it a try."
Ji Chutong sighed softly: "At worst, you and I can just fight again."
"yes."
Qi Zixiao nodded gently, and then sighed: "I found that my current methods are not enough..."
Artificial sun fist, artificial Big Ivan, hydrogen bomb arrow method
In the Xiantai realm, and even in the current Red Dust Fairyland, it is a true "invincible technique". When fighting against the same level, it is really powerful!
Because the power of these methods theoretically has no upper limit, the stronger you are, the stronger these tricks will be.
but···
After all, the killing attribute is still a bit single.
Taking the Artificial Sun Fist as an example, its lethality mainly comes from two points.
1. The super strong shock wave generated instantly during the explosion.
2. High temperatures of hundreds of millions or even billions of degrees!
Perhaps, as the technology on Earth develops further, or Qi Zixiao figures out some new atoms himself, and no longer uses hydrogen, tritium, etc., but uses more powerful "raw materials" to perform these spells, the power will be further enhanced.
But after all, it’s still not good enough.
Because after becoming the Red Dust Immortals, everyone began to madly comprehend various principles!
The Three Thousand Great Ways are diverse and varied, but no matter which one it is, there are countless branches and endless uses.
It is not particularly difficult to withstand the most basic shock waves and the terrifying high temperature that breaks out in an instant.
Therefore, the series of techniques such as the Artificial Sun Fist, which were originally invincible techniques, are now really not that impressive.
Especially since the enemies you have to face are basically several levels higher in strength than you, you feel really powerless.
"So, I should think of ways to develop some new invincible techniques! Stronger than the Artificial Sun Fist, or even much stronger!"
At this moment, Qi Zixiao thought a lot.
At the same time, she suddenly understood something.
Why did Lin Fan's book "The General Outline of the World's Dao Laws" not inspire him at all? On the contrary, it was an invincible treasure to other people in the world of immortal cultivation. Anyone who could open it and read some of the spells recorded in it would be inspired and gradually succeed in cultivation
Whether it was Su Muxue's Heaven-Devouring Magical Art or the master's use of his body as a seed, they all came about in this way.
But what about yourself
But it’s useless no matter how many times I read it. Why is that
Don’t you have any talent
Not at all!
She recalled that the inspiration for the 'Divine Sword Controlling Thunder Technique' that she had cultivated was also obtained in a similar way.
At that time, I had not been to Earth many times and my understanding of Earth was very limited. I thought that the programs on TV were all real.
so···
He believed in his heart that the secret of controlling lightning with the divine sword was real, and he wanted to learn how to develop it!
Over time, it worked!
But afterwards, I learned more and more about the Earth, and knew more and more. When I looked back at similar things, I no longer had the same feeling as before.
"How should I put it? Should I say...preconceived?"
"I think it's true, so I naturally believe it. But now that I know it's false, I can't force myself to believe it's true."
"The fact that the General Principles of the World's Dao Laws have attracted the blessings from heaven is enough to prove that the ideas in it are all feasible. The results of Master's cultivation are also enough to prove this point."
"But in my opinion, it's all fake. There's no way to verify it. I reject it from the bottom of my heart, so I naturally can't practice..."
How can you practice if you don’t even believe in it yourself
At this moment, Qi Zixiao completely understood.
"So, the existence of the artificial sun fist is because similar technology already exists on Earth. So even if I already knew a lot about Earth at that stage, I could still develop it successfully?"
"No, actually go one step further."
"I even have all the information on making an artificial sun, so I can complete it relatively easily."
“This gives me some ideas.”
Qi Zixiao's eyes lit up, and a sense of anticipation gradually rose in his heart.
"I already know those novels and stories are false, so they naturally cannot provide me with any ideas, and I cannot force myself to believe them."
"But...what about the technology side?!"
"On the technological side, there are still some methods that are worth learning from, especially after seeing the methods used by the Earth Seed Project after more than 100 million years of development..."
She stroked the mask on her face and gradually came up with some ideas.
Is the artificial sun the most lethal means or technology on the technological side? Not necessarily.
even···
You may not even be able to get a number!
"Then, I should be able to gain inspiration from some concepts and ideas on the technological side and create a new invincible technique!"
Her eyes were burning, and at this moment, she was suddenly full of confidence.
It’s so frustrating!
I have been feeling really depressed these days.
Be it himself or his own thief, no matter which account they were on, they all felt very aggrieved. Even though Qi Zifan's experience in the past three days seemed very comfortable, it had killed many true immortals and celestial immortals, and there might even be the death of a profound immortal.
Those who wanted to kill him paid a heavy price.
But when I think about it carefully, I still feel aggrieved.
If I and the dog thief were strong enough, how could this happen? !
On the other side of the Earth, why would the dog thief need the zombie limited skin version of Ji Chutong to rescue him? He can just directly defeat all enemies!
Why would one have to leave his hometown and run to hide in the Qin Dynasty in the Tianshu star field
If he was strong enough, why would he only be able to save his life by "deceiving others"? At this moment, he would have to keep disguising himself, speaking and acting carefully, just to avoid being recognized
Insufficient strength!
The realm is not enough!!!
Some days ago, Qi Zixiao always thought that there was nothing that could be done about it.
Although both he and Gouzei were using cheats, it would still take time to upgrade.
But now I think about it, when did I ever rely on my state of mind to suppress others
Why wasn't it so frustrating before
That's because, when he was in the Void Refinement Stage and the Tribulation Crossing Stage, he had already developed the Artificial Sun Fist, which could even cross several realms to kill a third-level Immortal Stage being!
This is the invincible technique!
But now, the invincible skills of the past are not so effective anymore, so I take it for granted that realm is everything
There's nothing you can do about this feeling of being so frustrated.
Can I only wait until the future, when my realm is high enough, and then launch a crazy counterattack
It’s only natural to screw him!
I want to 'awaken', I want to develop a new invincible technique, I want to cross levels to kill people again, I want to return all the frustrations I had before!!!
Of course, the realm cannot be lowered.
After all, the invincible technique is not truly invincible. Even if it is really developed, it can only allow oneself to kill people across realms, but it does not mean that others cannot kill oneself.
Qi Zixiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
It sounds slow, but in fact, it all happened in a flash.
Noticing the change in Qi Zixiao's aura, Ji Chutong couldn't help but be curious: "What did you think of? Why did the aura change so much in such a short period of time?"
"I..."
Qi Zixiao smiled, hugged her neck, and said cheerfully: "I thought of some happy things."
Ji Chutong: "Happy things?"
She didn't mind being hugged relatively intimately.
Qi Zixiao said softly: "Don't even think about resisting. We are currently disguised as a couple, so there's nothing wrong with being a little intimate."
Ji Chutong: “???”
She really wanted to say that she had never thought of resisting.
They are all women, and it’s not the first time, so why should they resist
There’s no need~!
······
The process of entering this chaotic area and taking the teleportation array was much easier than Qi Zixiao and Ji Chutong had imagined.
There is indeed someone guarding it, and his strength is not low, but the other party is just a simple "businessman".
Even calling him a businessman is a bit of an exaggeration. Strictly speaking, he should be called a "servant" of some powerful person.
That powerful being opened up many "commercial teleportation arrays" in the starry pastures of the heavens and myriad worlds, and then let his servants guard them.
Anyone who can afford the price can take a ride.
Of course, this price is much higher than the 'regular' teleportation array.
Simply put, this thing is the 'black market' that only cares about money, not people.
Therefore, without even the most basic inspection, nothing would be exposed.
However, this kind of 'black market teleportation array' also has many limitations, that is, it is not connected to the regular teleportation arrays in other big worlds, and can only be used to teleport to other teleportation arrays opened up by that powerful person.
In short, the price is high and there are not many places to go...
But for those who choose to take this kind of teleportation array, are these disadvantages really disadvantages
Just not asking about one's identity can overcome all the shortcomings.
······
After walking out of the teleportation array and looking at the completely unfamiliar environment, Ji Chutong was speechless with a 'star map' in her hand that she had bought from the 'servant' for a million spirit stones.
"Sure enough, where there are people, there is a world of martial arts."
She whispered, "Even in this desolate starry pasture, there is a 'black market'."
"It is indeed somewhat surprising, but not unbelievable." Qi Zixiao pondered and said, "We still know too little about the heavens and the myriad worlds and the Starry Pastoral Realm."
"If we knew more, we wouldn't be so passive."
"Fortunately, we now have the star map." Ji Chutong used her immortal energy to activate it, and the star map instantly emitted a hazy light. At the same time, a 'projection' as big as a football field and nearly thirty stories high emerged.
This is the 'model' of most areas of the universe.
Of course, it is a model that has been reduced countless times. At the same time, there is a light spot shining in the upper area.
"Is this the area we are in?"
Ji Chutong's gaze moved upward from the light spot, and finally locked onto the three "star rings" on the top layer.
"Is this where the Nine Heavenly Palaces are located?!"
“It’s really convenient, but the price is really expensive.”
This thing, after all, is just a spirit stone plus a 'projection formation', and the cost is just one spirit stone plus a little bit of time.
Of course, "intellectual property" is valuable, and Ji Chutong understands this.
But this kind of star map is not that precise. It is probably just a common item in the hands of some immortals. Only "newcomers" like them will be cheated...
What she didn't know was that after hearing her mumbling, Qi Zixiao's expression was extremely strange.
Is this star map too expensive and too bad
Well, from the cost point of view, it seems to be a real rip-off, but thinking back to when I was selling immortal machines in the Immortal Cultivation World, especially at the Tianjiao Festival, I sold them to those "unpredestined people", and a single immortal machine cost tens of millions of spirit stones...
Cough cough cough!
"Well, it's because we are so unfamiliar with the universe. It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive."
"Too."
"Now you and I are already at the upper level of the universe. The distance to the top level should be... more than 10,000 stars?"
"If you and I fly at full speed, we should be able to arrive within two days."
"It seems that the powerful man driving the 'black car' is still quite afraid of the Nine Heavenly Palaces, otherwise he wouldn't be so far away from them." Qi Zixiao complained softly.
"Driving a black car?"
"Uh, black teleportation array."
"..., let's get going."
A brief complaint, with the star map to guide you, your efficiency will naturally be higher.
Although you could fly upwards all at once before, but between two points, the straight line is the shortest distance, right
This star map is indeed a bit crude, but at least it has the most basic attributes of a map.
······
This flight took nearly two days.
When they finally saw the three dazzling star rings, Qi Zixiao and Ji Chutong stopped at the same time and looked at each other.
"superior?"
"superior!"
"Now that we have come this far, there is no reason to retreat."
"good!"
The two chatted casually, and then, maintaining their current state, headed towards the outermost star ring.
The three-layer star rings are bright and blazing, and from a distance they even look like three circular "colorful suns".
Sacred, peaceful, tranquil, yet extremely majestic.
In each layer of the star ring, there are three solemn and majestic palaces with terrifying oppression.
It is called a palace complex, but in reality, its size is thousands of times larger than that of the Immortal Cultivation Realm...
If calculated based on the population ratio, the population of the immortal world exceeds one trillion, and the number of people in the Heavenly Palace must be hundreds of trillions.
Some of the 'key' buildings are filled with astonishing Taoist aura and are guarded by terrifying laws.
It is impossible to look directly at it. If you look at it for more than a few seconds, you will feel a stinging pain in your eyes, as if your eyeballs are about to explode.
It's really too terrifying and shocking!
"Tiangong, no wonder it's so amazing."
Qi Zixiao whispered: "Let alone other things, just based on what we have seen so far, the quantitative change leading to the qualitative change... is enough to make them stand above the nine heavens."
“That’s not all.”
Sister Wu transmitted her voice: "From the information I have detected so far, most of the worlds in the upper layer are vassals of the nine heavenly palaces, and the geniuses, heroes, treasures..."
"All of them are transported to the nine heavenly palaces."
"Coupled with the trade with other worlds and the absorption of talents... it is enough to ensure the long-term prosperity of the Nine Heavenly Palaces."
"Perhaps, it is for this reason that the Nine Heavenly Palaces knew that two foundations of the Heavenly Dao had appeared, but still did not send Golden Immortals to go there?"
“···”
These words shocked Qi Zixiao even more.
"Treating many large worlds as 'colonies'?!"
"Sister Wu..." She whispered, "Can you detect the situation in the Nine Heavenly Palaces?"
"Undetectable."
Sister Wu quickly responded: "The Nine Heavenly Palaces do not have a world barrier, but the formation they built themselves is even better than the others, and has a strong ability to block detection."
"In that case, there is no need to try too much..."
"Well, maybe after entering, I can try to detect it, but I have to avoid some core areas to avoid being exposed."
“It’s natural.”
"us···"
"Go to Taixuan Jiuqing Palace!"
Qi Zixiao and Ji Chutong flew together to Taixuan Jiuqing Palace, which was the heavenly palace on the left in the "outer ring".
As we approached the star ring and even entered it, the dazzling light seemed to have completely disappeared, and everything returned to normal and calm.
When the two got closer, a huge portal over a thousand feet high appeared before them.
The five big characters of Taixuan Jiuqing Palace are carved on the gate, the Tao is pervasive, and the pressure is extremely strong!
When you get here, it’s no longer deserted.
'Various' kinds of 'people' come and go, in and out, making this 'Tianmen' seem particularly lively and prosperous.
There really are all kinds of 'people'!
I don't know which world they come from, or even what race they are.
There are normal 'human races'.
There are also some that evolved from other races, but retained the characteristics of their own race, such as scales, skin of various colors, or a human body with a "dog head".
Qi Zixiao stared at it and even thought he had traveled to the world of Journey to the West...
There are two monks guarding the Heavenly Gate, and they are responsible for checking the "passes".
Qi Zixiao and Ji Chutong slowed down and observed.
It turns out that there really is a "visa on arrival" policy.
Some people applied for visas on the spot, but more people took out the "passes" they had already obtained to enter.
This way of entering the door is also very interesting.
The formation has always existed, and if the pass is correct, it will allow the holder to blend in and enter it.
Upon seeing this, Qi Zixiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I...got several passes in the Abyss of All Realms."
"Me too." Ji Chutong nodded and said in a voice transmission: "It looks like the passes are different. Some seem to be the tokens of the disciples in the palace, and some are for outsiders?"
"There are even some passes obtained by other Tiangong disciples. In your opinion, what should we do?"
It's time to make a decision again.
Qi Zixiao pondered: "Visa on arrival has some advantages. This is our first time here, so there should be some information that can help us become more familiar with Taixuan Jiuqing Palace."
"But there are also disadvantages. That is, if someone investigates, we as 'newcomers' will easily be suspected. At the same time, we don't know whether they will verify our identities." Ji Chutong gave her own analysis and opinion.
"You mean, choose the lesser of two evils?"
"No." Qi Zixiao grinned and said, "I have a better idea."
“You mean???”
"Let's not go in yet."
"Um?"
"Don't ask, I'll take you to the grass!"
"??? We didn't play Luaaaa, did we?"
Squatting in the grass is a technical job.
They waited for most of the day and finally caught a great emperor. Without exposing their own strength, the two of them joined forces and hit the target with one strike, capturing a man with a bird's head and a human body who came out of Taixuan Jiuqing Palace.
After knocking him down with a stick, Ji Chutong hypnotized him with his own Taoism.
"If I use someone else's identity token to enter Taixuan Jiuqing Palace, will I be discovered on the spot?!"
"Won't."
"All nine heavenly palaces are like this. They are high above, overlooking the heavens and the myriad worlds. No force dares to disobey them, and no one dares to provoke them. Therefore, they are not afraid of others sneaking in."
The unlucky guy who was being ambush said in a daze: "Anyone with a token can enter, but if you are not a disciple of Taixuan Jiuqing Palace, but hold a disciple token, you will be killed on the spot."
The two nodded slightly.
They were never stupid enough to try to sneak in using the disciple token of Taixuan Jiuqing Palace. That would be tantamount to seeking death.
As for the arrogance of the nine heavenly palaces, they could understand it.
He is the boss, so he is not afraid of you causing trouble. The key is, do you dare
Emmmm····
We might actually dare!
The two looked at each other, and Qi Zixiao continued to ask: "When you first entered Taixuan Jiuqing Palace, did you know anything?"
"As far as you know, are there any precautions in Taixuan Jiuqing Palace?"
“···”
After some questioning, Ji Chutong finally cut off his memory and then they both left.
Afterwards, they chose two 'third-party visas' that did not belong to the disciples in the palace and the other eight heavenly palaces, and successfully entered.
"Infiltration successful!"
At this moment, the two people's tense hearts suddenly relaxed a lot.
“It’s easier than we thought.”
"I hope that next, I can... huh?"
They had just entered and had not walked far when they saw a figure quickly breaking through the air and heading towards the most magnificent palace in the distance.
