Chapter 339: Can a challenge across levels be played like this?
"Report to the Heavenly Lord, half a month ago, some strange things happened on the Jixi Road where I was guarding."
In the Corpse Puppet Sect, Zi Luo Peak, in a green palace, a white-bearded old man in a purple robe opened his eyes.
"Ji Xidao?" Zi Luo Tianzun was so shocked that he didn't realize what this place was.
Because Jixidao is not an important place at all. The reason why the Corpse Puppet Sect and the Four Extreme Sect jointly manage this place is purely because Huluxian is a passage leading to the Great Zhou.
"What's so strange about Jixi Dao?" Zi Luo Tianzun asked. There were some Daoxuan Dan medicinal materials planted there, which were worth some money, but not much.
"I have been guarding Jixi Road for the past half month and have always been able to hear some noises." The guardian who reported this was as thin as a stick. He recalled carefully, "Occasionally, I can also see some illusions."
"Are you talking about the mirage?" Zi Luo Tianzun glanced at the map and showed a trace of contemplation.
"Yes." The guardian nodded, then shook his head. "Disciples and others can see those ancient people. They seem to be living, practicing, and meditating inside."
"At first, the disciples also thought it was a mirage, but gradually, we could hear voices. These voices seemed to contain some kind of great truth. Many disciples had different reactions after hearing them."
"Some people's skills have greatly improved, while others have suddenly become obsessed, and some have become crazy and worship at the same place every day."
"The disciples asked those people, and they said they heard someone preaching to them..."
"Oh?" Zi Luo Tianzun's expression became serious. Such a place was consistent with the description of some ancient Taoist temples. Could it be that Jixidao was once a place for practice?
After listening carefully, Zi Luo Tian Zun nodded and said, "Very good, you can go down."
"Yes."
After dismissing the guardian, Zi Luo Tianzun called over two of his disciples, You Sha Zhenjun and Yun Shui Fairy.
"Master." Two Taoists, a man and a woman, arrived quickly.
Zi Luo Tianzun then told his two disciples about Ji Xidao's affairs.
"An ancient Taoist temple?" The eyes of Master Yousha and Fairy Yunshui lit up, and the first thing they thought of was inheritance and treasure.
Zi Luo Tian Zun said:
"Since Long Ting's group two hundred years ago, our Corpse Puppet Sect has suffered heavy losses in Guting Royal City, and our lineage has been greatly ostracized."
"Now that Jixi Road is an opportunity, I have decided to take you two to explore it together."
If Zhao Xing were here, he would definitely recognize them. Aren’t these the True Man Zi Luo, You Sha, and Yun Ji from back then?
The three of them had entered the Dragon Court and went to the Guting Royal City with great effort, but in the end, the Corpse Puppet Sect's treasury was completely emptied by Zhao Xing.
As a result, the three people gained very little in Longting, which was not enough to make up for the losses.
In the past two hundred years, the resources of Ziluo Peak have been greatly reduced.
However, now Zi Luo Zhenren has been promoted to Zi Luo Tianzun, and his two disciples, Yousha and Yun Ji, have also been promoted to first-grade Zhenren, but Yun Ji has changed his Taoist name.
Because she once exploded a corpse, which was seen as a bad sign.
“Master, I remember that some people in Jixidao are from the Siji Sect. Do you want to…” Yousha made a gesture of wiping his neck.
If it is confirmed that a treasure has appeared, then we will secretly kill the disciples of the Siji Sect first and occupy the place first.
Anyway, Jixi Road is not very important, and the people stationed there by the Siji Sect are just ants. It doesn't matter if they are killed. At most, you will have to pay some money. If things don't work, you can find someone else to take the blame.
"No need for that." Zi Luo Tian Zun said, "The strange phenomena on Jixi Road have caused quite a stir. Since we have a guardian coming back to report, then there must be a strong person in the Siji Sect who knows about it."
……
"If you don't see the benefit, don't get involved in trouble." Siji Sect, Tianmen Temple. Siji Divine Lord looked at the two elders below, "The people of Corpse Puppet Sect are not so easy to mess with."
"Most of their disciples have second bodies. If one dies, the news will still leak out."
"Si Xiang, Wu Feng, the two of you go and find out what's going on."
"Yes, sir." The Four Symbols Heavenly Lord and the Five Peaks Heavenly Lord suddenly disappeared on the spot.
Because of Ji Xidao's abnormality, both sects immediately sent strong men to check it out.
However, the first five people to arrive were Zhao Xing, Ye Yukong, King Shenluo, Ji Yun, and Cui Chengzhi.
The highest level of personnel stationed in Jixi Road would not exceed the third grade.
The five people entered Jixi Road, and Zhao Xing cast an invisibility spell so that even the people from the Corpse Puppet Sect and the Four Extremes Sect could not see them when they passed by.
"Be careful. If you find anything unusual, don't speak at the first moment. Don't even send a message. We are almost there." Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and pointed, and words formed in the void, reminding the four people.
The four of them nodded and their expressions became nervous.
Everyone is at the first level of the Fate Palace Realm, and now they can indeed feel something unusual.
Just half an hour ago, they entered Jixi Road and encountered an area where they could not speak or even transmit sound.
How did he know that? Ye Yukong had a first aid bandage wrapped around his head.
Because Ye Yukong spoke, he was the first to be hit.
Because he broke the rules, he was suddenly struck by lightning.
The thunder appeared suddenly and silently, and no one knew how it was formed. Even when Zhao Xing noticed it, it was already too late.
Fortunately, this rule thunder was not very strong, it just [no loud noises allowed], and Ye Yukong was only beeping softly, not to the extent of being killed.
But his head was also hit so hard that he felt dizzy, and Ye Yukong's flowing hair was burned off.
The King of Shinra was a bit wronged. He just answered with "hmm" and was also struck by lightning.
Fortunately, the King of Shinra is bald, so he doesn't have such trouble.
But now both of them have learned their lesson and dared not even whisper. They always kept a little attention on Zhao Xing, waiting for his instructions.
They only dared to walk where Zhao Xing had walked, and even their walking movements had to be imitated from Zhao Xing.
It was like a group of cats walking in the snow, with the cats behind stepping on the footprints of the cats in front.
"It should be just ahead." Zhao Xing looked ahead.
A high hillside suddenly appeared in front of us, and a stone gate emerged from the mountain.
The stone gate had long been in ruins, with many cracks and some eaves and corners of the palace wall exposed around the stone gate.
The once exquisite carvings on the gate and palace walls are now blurred, and only some strange outlines that resemble human beings can be vaguely seen.
Their eyes seem to have a deep gaze, spying on every living creature that approaches.
The door frame was made of huge black stones, covered with vines that emitted a faint glow. These vines seemed to have life, twisting from time to time and making a slight rustling sound.
"This is it, the Jixi Dojo." Zhao Xing stretched out his hand, signaling the five people behind him to stop and slowly follow him to the ground.
[Wait here, I will send my clone to check. ]
[Ji Yun, if there are any changes in the Tianyun Gold List, you must tell me, especially if some ancient characters suddenly appear on the gold list, you must retreat as quickly as possible.]
Ji Yun wrote in the air with a nervous look: [Ancient characters suddenly appeared? What do they mean? The names on the Tianyun Gold List all represent people's names. Could it be that resurrection from the dead can happen here? ]
Zhao Xing did not answer immediately, but used the surrounding grass and wood materials to build dozens of advanced flying grass men.
Now his straw man clone can cast spells, using the spell [Every Tree and Grass Sees Enemies] to create some non-top-level straw men.
"Sieve~"
The surrounding black vines and branches formed a series of straw men.
It flew up silently and headed towards the stone gate in front.
It was very strange. The straw men all had hideous faces and the overall color was black. In addition, they were in a strange place and Zhao Xing did not answer Ji Yun's questions, which made the few people who were used to seeing life and death feel a little scared.
After Zhao Xing sent the straw man to explore the interior of the ruined Taoist temple, he turned around and wrote, answering Ji Yun's questions.
[Yes, the two factors of the vitality tide and the incomplete dojo make some of the illusions here become real. ]
[We will tentatively call this thing formed by the changes of heaven and earth "Heavenly Puppet".]
[The Heavenly Puppet appeared based on the incomplete Taoist temple. The Taoist essence in the Taoist temple retains the will of its master. The Heavenly Puppet will contain the will of the former Taoist Jixi, and may also include his powerful Rule Realm disciples. This is called the Earthly Puppet. ]
[If a name you don't understand appears on the Heavenly Fortune Gold List, it means that the Heavenly Puppet and the Earthly Puppet have appeared. ]
[You don't have to think too much, just retreat, otherwise you will be in trouble if you are targeted. ]
Hearing this, King Shinra was actually a little excited. A puppet made by nature? It was truly an ingenious work.
He couldn't help but yearn for it. If he could study the Puppet of Heaven and Earth, maybe he could really break through the realm of rules here!
Zhao Xing's soul was so sharp that he immediately noticed King Shenluo's excitement: [Shenluo, don't let your imagination run wild. You can't catch the Heaven and Earth Puppet, so don't even think about studying it.]
What a joke, the Sky Puppet has some of the power of the Li Dao Realm, and the Earth Puppet also has some of the power of the Rule Realm.
Is this something that can be studied by a small Fate Palace realm?
He was afraid that the King of Shinra would be delighted by the sight of prey.
Ye Yukong gestured in front of King Shenluo: [I'm asking you a question, don't be impulsive. It's easy for you mechanical masters to become unable to walk when you see a puppet. ]
King Shinra glared at him: [I heard you, take care of yourself! ]
Zhao Xing continued to control his clone to move forward.
Walking into the dojo area, what comes into view is a deserted square.
The ground was paved with huge bluestone slabs, but most of them were now broken, with blood-red moss growing in the cracks. The moss glowed strangely in the dark, as if it were blood oozing from the earth.
There is a huge stone platform in the center of the square. The surface of the platform is covered with deep scratches and dried blood. There are some broken stone statues scattered around the platform.
The heads of these stone statues are missing, leaving only their mutilated bodies. Their postures are distorted, as if they are in great pain.
Some halls have appeared in the temple, but most of them have collapsed by half.
There are many huge holes on the walls of the hall, through which you can see that it is pitch black inside, with occasional pairs of green eyes flashing in the darkness.
There were some strange symbols on the roof of the temple flashing a faint light, and these symbols seemed to be telling an ancient and terrible curse.
"Oh!"
One of Zhao Xing's clones suddenly exploded, and even his soul power was destroyed.
At the same time, Zhao Xing outside snorted coldly, shattering the illusion in his soul.
He wrote quickly:
【Rule 1: Don’t look into eyes in the dark.】
[In the darkness of the dojo, there are often green or blue eyes peeking out. ]
[Don't look them in the eye. Once you do, you will find that you can't look away. These eyes will gradually invade your consciousness, making you see the scenes you fear the most. Your soul will be devoured by fear, and your body will be fixed in place.]
Ji Yun, Ye Yukong, Cui Chengzhi and King Shenluo all carefully memorized the words written by Zhao Xing.
【Rule 2: Stay away from flashing symbols.】
[The mysterious symbols flashing on the roof and walls of the temple may seem like a strange light and shadow, but they are actually an ancient seal.]
[When you get within a certain distance of these symbols, the sealed power will be disturbed, and some of the sealed power may be released. These powers will attack you in various forms, such as turning into a strong wind to sweep you into endless darkness, or distorting the space around you and causing various parts of your body to be misplaced.]
[Rule 3: Don’t touch the blood-red moss]
[The blood-red moss in the cracks of the square's stone slabs is an extremely dangerous existence. Even if you just touch it lightly, the moss will quickly climb up your body, and its red color will spread to your skin like a burning flame. This red color will gradually erode your vitality and make your body weak and powerless. At the same time, you will hear countless cries echoing in your mind, which will disturb your mind and drive you crazy. ]
[Rule 4: The stone platform in the center of the square is a safe area, but do not stay on the stone platform in the center of the square for more than two hours.]
[The stone platform is the place of worship in the Taoist temple, but it is also one of the most dangerous places. If you stay on the stone platform for more than a certain period of time, you will feel a strong suction coming from the inside of the stone platform, which will pull your soul out of your body. If it exceeds two hours, you will be trapped on the stone platform forever.]
The soul in Zhao Xing's mind was fluctuating violently, but he still managed to write these words.
Soon, almost all the straw men in the dojo collapsed.
"Huh~"
The fluctuations of Zhao Xing's soul became more and more violent, and soon the soul in his Lihuo clone was also seriously affected.
[I will distribute the points again...]
Halfway through writing, Lihuo's clone also collapsed.
The four people's pupils shocked. They didn't expect that just sending a straw man by Zhao Xing would have such a big impact.
At the same time, in Nanhulutian, Beicheng Delta Base.
Zhao Xing's real body opened his eyes, and the Three Gods Palace crushed the illusion in his mind.
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, what's wrong with you?" Qin Feng seemed to have noticed something and suddenly appeared at the door.
"It's okay." Zhao Xing shook his head, then stretched out his hand and several Dragon Spirit clones and Lihuo clones appeared. "General Qin, please send someone to send my clone over."
"Okay." Qin Feng was a little surprised, but didn't say anything. He didn't know that there was a dilapidated dojo in Tianji West Road, Beihulu.
…………
It was noon two days later when the clone arrived at Jixi Road again.
At this time, Zhao Xing clearly felt that there were more people in Jixi Road.
"Soul Vision!"
Zhao Xing's soul left his body, as if merging into the heaven and earth, observing everything around him, his consciousness quickly spreading in all directions.
However, after expanding only ten thousand meters, he felt violent resistance.
"Speed up the birth, collect!"
Zhao Xing's consciousness was instantly withdrawn into his clone's body.
At this time, whirlwinds were blowing in all directions of Jixi Road. They appeared suddenly and the wind speed was very small, but this was a sign of the arrival of opportunity!
"The eight whirlwinds will eventually grow stronger and stronger, and then converge towards the dojo in the center. This is the path to wipe out the Yoshii dojo."
The reason why Zhao Xing was willing to waste precious clone materials and explore the matter thoroughly was because he was afraid that there would be discrepancies between this and what he knew in his previous life.
If there was just the slightest difference, Ye Yukong and the others might die, so Zhao Xing would rather play it safe.
"The clone is broken, it's nothing more than spending a little more money. As long as the problem can be solved with money, it's not a problem. Eh? I can actually say such a thing, it's really not easy."
Zhao Xing sighed for a moment, then quickly rushed to Ye Yukong and the others' coordinates.
Ji Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Xing's name on the Tianyun Gold List.
She grabbed a piece of meat and ate it in big mouthfuls, while writing on the ground: [The Grand Minister of Agriculture is coming. Is there enough food above level seven? ]
King Shinra: [My seventh-level food supply can last for half a month. ]
Cui Chengzhi: [I am almost the same. ]
Ye Yukong: [I'm going to start taking the eighth-level supplies. ]
Ji Yun waved his hand and handed a bamboo box to Ye Yukong.
As the scope of the incomplete dojo expanded, they were soon affected.
At the hour of Mao on the first day after Zhao Xing's clone exploded, they encountered the first rule: fine food.
There was a voice constantly reminding them to eat.
The first day was fine. I only had to eat three times, at the hour of Mao, noon and wei, to pass the test.
But on the second day, the number of times he ate [fine food] suddenly increased from three times to three hundred times!
If you don't eat, you will be punished according to the rules.
Fine food has certain requirements for the food itself, and food of slightly lower quality will not do.
Ji Yun just saw a group of sect disciples being struck to death by lightning.
Cui Chengzhi: [This is too weird. The rules for the first day of fine food were normal, but the time for food supplements stipulated by Taoist Jixi suddenly changed to this. It's outrageous.]
Three hundred times. During this day, don’t do anything else but eat.
The problem is that you can't pretend to eat it. Just chewing it is not enough. You have to eat it into your stomach and not waste it.
If these people did not have the ability to digest food quickly, they would have died from eating so much food that was equivalent to their own realm.
Ye Yukong: [Luckily I only have to eat. If I had eaten while sleeping, I would have been finished.]
Before they finished speaking, a voice appeared in their ears. The voice seemed to have magical power, making them drowsy.
Cui Chengzhi was speechless and immediately grabbed the food and started running.
【Grass! 】
【What a crow's mouth! 】
King Shinra and Ji Yun also ran away with their suitcases in fear, trying to leave the dojo.
But people cannot escape the rules, and soon the four people were punished by the rules for not sleeping.
【I'll block it! 】
Ye Yukong swung his sword and landed behind him. The sword domain rippled out and enveloped the remaining three people.
"Crack!"
The top-level sixth-order sword field blocked the four heavenly thunders.
Since it was not a death penalty, the experienced Ye Yukong successfully resisted the impact of the thunder on his companions.
Swish swish swish~
The four retreated quickly.
A quarter of an hour later, Ji Yun's face suddenly changed, and he blurted out subconsciously: "Oh no, there are ancient Chinese names on the Tianyun Gold List that I can't understand!"
King Shinra immediately looked back and his pupils shrank.
Because behind them, a dark shadow appeared.
The black shadow chased towards them, and with one step it seemed as if the ground had shrunk into a foot, and in an instant it crossed a distance of three thousand meters.
A terrifying pressure appeared, and a black wind enveloped the night sky.
Just when he was about to be caught up by this monster comparable to the Rule Realm——
"Swish, swish, swish~" Five fiery red figures appeared beside them.
The next moment, one of the fiery red figures was blown up by the black shadow.
The other four disappeared with the four people, leaving only four wisps of light mist in their place.
Outside the dojo, on a hill, Zhao Xing appeared with four others.
After landing, Zhao Xing asked, "What happened? How did you run into the Earth Puppet?"
Ye Yukong was indignant: "Damn! What a lousy place! We don't sleep and we get beaten by the Earth Puppets. What's wrong with Taoist Jixi? He even sent people to check on his disciples when they don't sleep!"
Cui Chengzhi smiled and said, "I think you were too brave and blocked several punishments in a row, so you attracted the Earth Puppet."
Ji Yun shook his head: "It's just that we are too unlucky. The areas affected by these rules are not fixed."
She could sense the presence of a group of sect disciples of only the fourth or fifth rank a few thousand meters away, but it was okay for these people not to sleep, as it was obvious that the area they were in was not affected.
King Shinra stared in the direction of the Earth Puppet in a daze.
"King of Shinra." Zhao Xing noticed his abnormality: "Do you feel anything?"
"Yes." King Shenluo took a deep breath, "Just now I felt a throbbing in my heart, and felt that the place where the Earth Puppet was born was the opportunity for my breakthrough."
"Why don't I have it?" Ye Yukong was a little puzzled.
"Me neither." Cui Chengzhi and Ji Yun both shook their heads.
Zhao Xing pondered and said, "It's normal. When the origin of the vital energy tide begins to erase the Dao of the Dao field, all kinds of creation will be born."
"You can regard this as a kind of natural beauty, an exclusive limited edition."
"The area where the Earth Puppet is located may contain an opportunity for the Mechanical Master to break through."
A trace of desire welled up in the eyes of the King of Shinra: "Grand Minister of Agriculture, can you go?"
Zhao Xing closed his eyes and a map appeared in his mind. Then he took out the almanac and checked the time.
"You can go, but you have to wait."
"how long?"
"If we push back eight hours from the time when the Earth Puppet appeared, there shouldn't be a situation where multiple rules overlap, and there will be a relatively low-risk window period."
At this moment, Ji Yun's expression changed. She glanced at the Tianyun Gold List and said, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, a powerful person from the sect is coming."
"Which people?"
"Zi Luo Tian Zun, You Sha Zhen Ren, and Shui Yun Fairy of the Corpse Puppet Sect. Zi Luo Tian Zun is at the perfect level of the first rank, and the latter two are at the late level of the first rank."
Zhao Xing blinked: "Why does this name sound familiar to me?"
Ye Yukong smiled and said, "You forgot that we dug up a lot of Corpse Puppet Sect's treasures in Guting King City. One large treasure was dug in front of Zi Luo Tianzun, but at that time he was still at the second level."
King Shinra nodded, "I remember them too."
Of course I remember that during the trip to Guting Royal City, King Shenluo obtained a magical artifact. At that time, he never thought that he could use other people's treasures to buy things from Yin Xiu.
"So it's them." Zhao Xing suddenly realized and remembered those three unlucky guys.
"Don't worry about them."
"It's normal for people to come. I even hope they'll come more."
As for the situation here in Jixidao, I wonder how many lives will be lost if the sectarian community wants to figure out these rules and regulations.
During the eight hours of waiting, Zhao Xing was not idle. He took out a ring and handed it to the King of Shinra.
"what is this?"
"The Ring of Second Life."
What Zhao Xing took out was the grandfather's ring that he had obtained when he passed the Fairy Su level.
"I was not with you two days ago when the straw man exploded. You are still too dangerous."
"You carry this Horcrux. A trace of my soul is hidden inside it. Even if my scarecrow is exposed, you can still communicate with me at any time through the Secondary Ring."
Zhao Xing also has a more powerful Soul Ring, but there is no need to waste it here.
Eight hours later, Zhao Xing and the other four set out again, entered the stone gate, and came to the interior of the Taoist temple.
After turning the corner, Zhao Xing was suddenly stunned. As for the four people behind him, they didn't even dare to breathe.
Because they saw the ground puppet.
The ground puppet swam across the ruined square. He seemed to have no entity and passed through the wreckage on the ground.
Fifty meters in front of him, there were five high-ranking people wearing the clothes of the Four Extremes Sect, practicing tremblingly.
Next to them, there were three smoking bodies.
"Meditate and practice." Zhao Xing suddenly stopped and sat down cross-legged.
Ye Yukong, Cui Chengzhi, Ji Yun, and King Shenluo sat down immediately.
At this moment, a Tianyun realm cultivator who was cultivating in the Siji Sect suddenly exploded and died.
"This, aren't they also practicing, how come..." King Shinra only felt his scalp tingling.
This is going to kill me? It's unbelievable!
Zhao Xing immediately transmitted his voice: "Focus on your practice. You can practice anything, but you must concentrate!"
After being reminded, the breathing of the four people suddenly began to become even.
"Da da da~"
Suddenly, a sound approached, and with it a terrifying feeling of oppression.
But the four of them were determined and had absolute trust in Zhao Xing.
Therefore, even if the Earth Puppet floated past them, it would not even glance at them, but would concentrate on practicing its breathing techniques.
They were determined, and the remaining four people from the Siji Sect couldn't stand it anymore!
"Whoosh~"
A second-grade Tianyun realm cultivator tried to escape from here.
"Shu~"
The ground puppet's eyes immediately looked over there.
"Oh!"
The next second, this powerful warrior from the Siji Sect exploded, with bones, flesh, and blood scattered all over the ground.
Really, you will explode after just one look!
The remaining three people became even more frightened.
Time passed by minute by minute.
An hour later, the figure of the Earth Puppet finally went away and no longer stared at this place.
The three people from the Siji Sect breathed a sigh of relief.
One of the elders, seeing that Zhao Xing's men were intact, immediately bowed and said, "Generals, are you from the Great Zhou? I am Chen Song, and I have reached the Perfect Fate Palace Realm. The two beside me are my junior brothers. Zhang Liang and Peng Bo."
Zhao Xing took a look and found that except for Chen Song who was at the Fate Palace Realm, the other two were only at the Second Grade Perfection Realm.
Ignoring him, Zhao Xing led his men to move forward.
"Brother, what should we do?" Zhang Liang's voice trembled a little.
"Follow them." Chen Song gritted his teeth. "We can't let these people die in vain. We must find out where this place is."
"I see they are safe and sound, I'm afraid they know something, we should just follow what they do."
Zhao Xing led the people forward, and after turning a street, he saw the stranger again.
"They are from the Corpse Puppet Sect, fifteen in total."
"They are lucky." Ye Yukong said in a voice transmission.
According to Zhao Xing, it is a weak period now and the danger in the periphery has been greatly reduced, so they can successfully enter the core area of the dojo.
"It may not be luck. The Corpse Puppet Sect and the Four Poles Sect have already had people stationed in Jixi Road. The abnormality here has been going on for a long time. I'm afraid some of the disciples have already summed up something." Zhao Xing said in a voice transmission.
"Even so, I'm afraid that many people from the Corpse Puppet Sect have died." Ji Yuan glanced at the Heavenly Fortune Gold List, "The one called Yousha has disappeared from the list."
As they were chatting, Shuiyun Zhenren who was next to Ziluo Tianzun also saw Zhao Xing and his group.
"Master, do you think that is Zhao Xing?"
"Hmph, it really is him." A trace of hatred flashed in Zi Luo Tianzun's eyes. It was Zhao Xing who stole the savings of their Corpse Puppet Sect in Guting Royal City.
"I didn't expect someone from Da Zhou to come here. It seems there is indeed a treasure here."
"However, our people have been stationed here for a long time. In the face of those strange rules, the people from the Great Zhou coming here is simply to die." Zi Luo Tianzun had a hint of pleasure in his eyes. "It's a pity that Zhao Xing didn't come here in person."
If only Zhao Xing himself came, maybe he could die here!
After thinking for a while, Zi Luo Tian Zun immediately sent a voice message: "King Zhao, long time no see. I didn't expect you to be here too."
When Zhao Xing saw Zi Luo Tianzun greet him proactively, he knew what this old guy was thinking.
I'm afraid he wants to trick himself!
"So it's the Heavenly Master Sending Treasures. How come your Corpse Puppet Sect also has a warehouse here?"
"..."
Zi Luo Tianzun was a little angry when he was confronted with this. However, when he thought about the following rules, he continued to communicate with Zhao Xing:
"Yes, this is the headquarters of our Corpse Puppet Sect. King Zhao, King Shenluo, and Lord Mingyue, if you want to come, why do you have to sneak around? Just tell us. How can a dignified Minister of Agriculture do such shameful things?"
Zhao Xing responded bluntly: "What morality and justice are you talking about? Are you worthy?"
"Well, even if we are not worthy, the Great Zhou has now reached an agreement on peaceful coexistence with the sectarian alliance. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world for coming here uninvited?"
"Or is it that the emperor of your Great Zhou can no longer control you ministers?" Zi Luo Tianzun said these heart-piercing words, trying to anger Zhao Xing and his group.
At the same time, he was silently counting down the time in his heart.
There are ten more breaths before it’s time to stop talking!
He made up his mind to provoke the other party. If he didn't say anything in the last second before the rule came into effect, he would induce the other party to commit a foul.
Zhao Xing snorted coldly, not being fooled at all. Before the rules came into effect, he stopped transmitting his voice and just wrote two words in the air with his hand: [Idiot]
Seeing that his trick was seen through and being mercilessly ridiculed by the other party, Zi Luo Tianzun was immediately furious.
However, at this moment, Zhao Xing suddenly took action and cast a spell, heading towards the palace and the runes on the wall.
He deliberately made some noise to attract the attention of Zi Luo Tianzun and others.
As expected, the other party subconsciously looked in the direction where Zhao Xing was hitting.
"Om~"
In the broken holes on the palace and the palace walls, in the gloomy and dark area, suddenly, rows of green outlines like eyes lit up.
"what--"
A third-rank elder behind Zi Luo Tian Zun was immediately attacked by the illusion in his eyes and made a sound.
Zi Luo Tianzun and Shui Yun Zhenren were horrified and tried to stop it, but it was too late.
"Oh!"
A bolt of lightning struck overhead, and the disciple died instantly.
[Asshole! ! ]
Zi Luo Tianzun was furious, but he dared not say a word. He could only write and curse crazily.
Because he almost got into trouble just now and his mind was affected by those strange eyes.
Unfortunately, Zhao Xing didn't even look at him.
Chen Song, Zhang Liang and Peng Bo, three powerful men from the Siji Sect, were also complaining bitterly.
They really want to beat Zi Luo Tian Zun up. Why are you provoking him for no reason?
It almost got us into trouble.
However, they dared not make any movement and could only continue walking on tiptoe.
The surroundings soon became quiet again.
The three groups advanced silently in the dojo and soon came across a square.
The ground of the square was covered with blood moss, which looked like something bad.
Everyone was careful not to touch it.
There is a stone platform on each side of the square, and a ground puppet stands in front of a relatively complete palace in the east.
King Shinra couldn't help but cover his chest with an excited expression.
He wrote in a misplaced manner to tell everyone: This is it!
Zhao Xing looked in the direction indicated by King Shenluo, and saw a ball of light golden light floating on the roof of the palace behind the ground puppet.
"The spirit of heaven and earth, it seems that it is not very strong." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "However, this may also be because my perception is not strong enough, because it is the exclusive spirit of heaven and earth for a limited profession."
Zhao Xing asked the King of Shinra: [Do you think now is the time to pick them? ]
Although King Shinra was excited, he carefully sensed it and shook his head: [Very close, but not enough. ]
Zhao Xing nodded. The eight hurricanes had not yet approached, which meant that this spiritual beauty of heaven and earth needed time to develop.
It's not easy to survive in here, but no one retreats.
Zhao Xing and his group quickly occupied the stone platform area on the east.
Chen Song, Zhang Liang and Peng Bo from the Siji Sect followed suit and occupied the stone platform in the south.
Zi Luo Tianzun didn't know what was going on because his people had never been here before. However, when he saw Zhao Xing and the people from the Siji Sect doing the same, he also ran to the western stone platform.
"Hmm? We can talk now. Is this a safe area that is isolated from the rules?" Zi Luo Tianzun was quite surprised, because he found that Zhao Xing actually knew more than them!
"How did this person do it?"
Zi Luo Tianzun stared in the direction of Zhao Xing. He also made up his mind to follow Zhao Xing's actions like Chen Song and the others.
The time waiting for Lingxiu to mature is very long. Every two hours, Zhao Xing will let people take turns to leave the safe zone, reset the time they stay in the safe zone, and then go back to rest.
In order to figure this out, Zi Luo Tianzun and his men paid the price of a life.
Because Zhao Xing casually arranged for people to look around, no one thought that they couldn't stay around the stone platform for too long.
After waiting for half a month, King Shinra suddenly said, "It's okay. I can feel that the time has come."
Zhao Xing's clone in the square was immediately retracted.
"Wait for me here."
Ye Yukong asked curiously: "Can the Earth Puppets communicate?"
Because after Zhao Xing's clone walked out of the stone platform, he ran in front of the ground puppet.
Because they had been hunted down before, they all had a traumatic impression of the Earth Puppet, but Zhao Xing walked up to the Earth Puppet with a big heart.
Ji Yun and Cui Chengzhi pricked up their ears and listened.
However, Zhao Xing was writing, and he was writing the same words that could be seen everywhere in the Jixi Dojo.
When the rules came before, they could not understand the sounds, but as people in the Fate Palace Realm who had mastered the domain, they could understand the content because it was conveyed through the Tao.
However, now Zhao Xing used the words here, as if he was having a conversation.
"The Grand Minister of Agriculture has mastered the writing system here in such a short time?" Ji Yun couldn't help but sigh: "He is truly a genius."
"I doubt he will still speak the language here. Didn't Qing Yuzi come here?" Cui Chengzhi said with a smile.
"Awesome!" Ye Yukong gave a thumbs up.
On the other side, Zhao Xing also successfully communicated with the Earth Puppet.
[Big Brother, I want to enter the True Transmission Hall. What are the requirements? ]
When Di Kui saw the words in the air, he couldn't help but look back at Zhao Xing. His eyeballs were deep and dark, not like human eyes.
He spoke directly, as if speaking an ancient language: "If you want to enter the True Transmission Hall, you must complete a cross-level challenge to prove yourself."
Zhao Xing thought about it, then glanced at Lingxiu on the roof and stepped back.
"So what, what did you say?"
"I just asked the Earth Puppet what the conditions for entering are."
"Then?"
"He said he needed to complete a higher-level challenge to prove himself."
"Ah?" Ye Yukong and King Shinra were a little disappointed.
They are already at the Fate Palace Realm, yet they are challenging someone higher in level?
Doesn't that mean we have to fight at the realm of rules?
This request is too outrageous!
"Don't forget that the rules here have changed." Zhao Xing said with a smile: "Shenluo King, go find a third-rank member of the Corpse Puppet Sect and kill one of them."
"What do you mean?" King Shinra was stunned.
"He only said he was challenging someone of a higher level, but he didn't say he was challenging someone of a higher level." Zhao Xing spread his hands. "Challenging someone of a lower level is also challenging someone of a higher level, so why doesn't it count?"
Everyone: "..."
The four of them were stunned. Is it possible to play like this?
