At this moment, in the hall belonging to Xiao Zhi, all the staff stood up and looked at Xiao Zhi and others.
When they saw that Xiao Zhi and others had returned safely, the staff in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces.
This is a joint guard mission, and its risk is much higher than ordinary guard missions.
Therefore, during the time when Xiao Zhi and the others went to carry out the joint guard mission, at least most of the people in Dachang World were full of anxiety deep in their hearts and were praying to Xiao Zhi and the others.
The guardians of these worlds can return safely.
And now, Xiao Zhi and the others have really returned safely.
This made the staff present breath a huge sigh of relief.
"Welcome back to the Emperor!"
"Welcome to the return of all true kings!" The staff in the palace shouted in unison.
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he just smiled and nodded slightly.
He used to feel a little uncomfortable with this kind of welcome ceremony from the on-site staff, but now, he has long been used to it.
Soon after, Xiao Zhi quietly left the Dachang Shenmen headquarters and arrived in front of a luxurious mansion located in the inner city of Dachang Imperial City.
Li Kuo's wife Xue Niang now lives in this mansion.
As for Li Kuo's son Li Teng, he is already a Nascent Soul monk and is currently training in various places in Dachang Kingdom.
Traveling and having adventures has always been Li Teng's dream.
It's just that his father Li Kuo had strict control over him and prohibited him from traveling before he became powerful.
But now, after he has cultivated Nascent Soul, he finally got what he wanted and can travel.
Then he saw the air fluctuate, and Li Kuo's figure appeared in front of the mansion door. He took a few steps forward and lightly knocked on the copper ring on the mansion door.
With a creak, the side door of the mansion opened, and an old face poked out.
When he saw that the person knocking on the door was Li Kuo, the old servant's face immediately showed an expression of joy and shouted: "The master is back, open the door quickly! It's the master who is back!"
In the mansion, hurried footsteps and shouts were immediately heard.
Not long after, the heavy door of the mansion was slowly pushed open.
Dozens of guards, servants and maids stood in front of the gate, saluted Li Kuo respectfully and said: "Welcome to the master to return home."
Li Kuo just hummed. He raised his head slightly and looked deep into the mansion.
Wherever he looked, a woman wearing luxurious clothes walked over quickly, surrounded by more than a dozen maids.
This noble lady is none other than Snow Lady.
"Husband." After meeting Li Kuo, Xue Niang bowed to Li Kuo Yingying.
"Xue Niang." Li Kuo couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and stepped into the mansion.
After taking a few steps forward, he stopped and looked behind him.
At this time, Xiao Zhi's figure had disappeared without a trace.
In the inner city of Dachang Imperial City, in the old mansion belonging to Xiao Zhi.
In the old mansion, Xiao Zhi sat cross-legged and meditated in the courtyard of the mansion.
In the past, after completing his guard duty and returning to the world of living beings, he would make a trip to Canghai located on Cangzhou Road.
But now, as Xue Niang moved to Dachang Imperial City, he did not return to Canghai, but chose to stay in this quiet old mansion.
Here, he can think about some things quietly, and he can also practice and understand the water of quicksand.
Here, he usually stays for two to three days. When the time is up, he will take Li Kuo with him, enter the Heavenly Cave Absolute Territory, and then embark on the road to heaven again.
Xiao Zhi sat quietly in the courtyard of the mansion. With a thought in his mind, he called up his attribute panel and looked at the option of Sky Point.
Sky point:58359.
After seeing the string of numbers representing the sky point, a smile appeared on Xiao Zhi's face unconsciously.
Sure enough, there are more gains from performing joint guard missions.
The danger is a bit dangerous, but the rewards are really high. The sky points obtained from this joint guard mission are much higher than all the previous guard missions he has experienced combined!
It can be described as a wave of fatness!
Now he is richer than ever before!
Before, he was still thinking about whether he could collect the sky points needed to exchange for six-star magic before he broke through to the high god level.
It's okay now, I don't need to look at it now.
Because he has already gathered it together.
Not only did he collect the sky points needed to exchange for six-star magic, his sky points also exceeded it by a lot.
The sky points he exceeded, after being discounted by his second-level authority, were enough to exchange for another five-star magic.
‘Then why don’t you try out a five-star magic first?’ A thought emerged from the depths of Xiao Zhi’s heart.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but feel a little moved.
But after some thinking, Xiao Zhi still suppressed the thought in his heart.
It's not that he isn't interested in the five-star magic, but even if he redeems the five-star magic now, he doesn't have the time to practice it.
If you don't practice, the power of low-level five-star magic will be just like that.
If he takes time out to practice, it will delay his progress in practicing and understanding the law of water.
For him now, breaking through the realm and becoming a high god is the top priority. As for everything else, he can put it aside for the time being.
'Let's wait until I reach the high-god realm to exchange for magical skills. After I reach the high-god realm, I will have a lot of time to study the magical skills and do special tasks to earn authority points.
'Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
'Maybe by then, the sky points I have accumulated will be enough to exchange for two six-star magical arts. Then, wouldn't it be great to exchange for two six-star magical arts in one go?'
Some people may say that you, Xiao Zhi, can exchange it for a five-star magic and give it to Lu Zhong and the others to use. After Lu Zhong and the others obtain this five-star magic, their strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
Of course Xiao Zhi knows this.
But he didn't intend to do this, because he was not Lu Zhong's nanny.
He helped Lu Zhong and the others break through to the divine realm, and then handed them elementary artifacts. This was already his limit.
He can't always give himself without reservation, otherwise what he will cultivate will only be giant babies.
Whether Lu Zhong and the others can become stronger, and how far they can go, ultimately depends on them. He only plays the role of a leader.
Lu Zhong and the others all have the ability to earn Sky Points.
Nowadays, it has not been a short time since their Dachang world has become the regional hegemonic world. The sky points accumulated by Lu Zhong and others by performing the heavenly guardian mission, not to mention the five-star magic that requires level 1 authority, can be exchanged for three stars and four stars.
There should be no problem with the Star Immortal Technique.
Besides, now, in the world of Dachang where he is, besides him, there are already four god-level players, and there is also the semi-god-level fire type like Hu Yang. If he really redeems a five-star magic
Come out, who should I give this five-star magic to?
This is an extremely precious five-star magic. No matter who it is given to, other god-level players will inevitably feel uncomfortable in their hearts even if they don't say it, and then become alienated from others.
There is a saying that worries not about scarcity but inequality.
He couldn't exchange Lu Zhong and the others for a five-star immortal technique, right?
He is not selfless to this extent yet.
Xiao Zhi shook his head gently, no longer thinking about this, but took out the Quicksand Spirit from the storage ring.
Every time he finished his guarding mission and was transported back to the world of living beings, he would take advantage of this time to practice the Quicksand Water.
Although his stay in the world of sentient beings was relatively short, he had never made much progress in the practice of quicksand water, but no matter what kind of practice he was, he accumulated it bit by bit.
He now takes the time to practice the Quicksand Water more, and when he becomes a high god, he will be able to spend less time practicing the Quicksand Water.
Two days passed quickly.
On this day, when Xiao Zhi's mind separated from the alien space where Liusha River was located and he opened his eyes, he found that Li Kuo was already standing quietly beside him.
"Can we leave?" Xiao Zhi glanced at Li Kuo and asked.
"Well, you can go." Li Kuo nodded.
"Then let's go." Xiao Zhi said and stood up.
Soon after, Xiao Zhi took Li Kuo and quietly left Dachang Imperial City and flew towards Tianku Mountain.
Soon, Xiao Zhi's figure appeared in the sky above Tianku Mountain.
After passing the Kunyu token and saying hello to Lu Zhong, Xiao Zhi took Li Kuo and dived into the extremity of the Heavenly Cave.
After a while, Xiao Zhi set foot on the road to heaven again.
This is already the Nth time Xiao Zhi has embarked on the road to heaven.
When he set foot on the road to heaven, he no longer had the nervousness and anxiety he had before, but seemed calm and calm.
Soon, Xiao Zhi took Li Kuo and successfully ascended from the eternal field to the heaven.
After landing in Heaven, he took a short rest and recovered from his injuries. Xiao Zhi said, "Let's go, Brother Li, let's go to Tianhu."
"Okay." Li Kuo nodded.
Immediately, Xiao Zhi opened his black umbrella and took Li Kuo with him to fly through the sky in the direction of Tianhu at four times the speed.
He has walked this road many times, and he is already familiar with the dangerous areas that exist near this road.
Naturally, his speed became faster and faster.
The faster he travels, the faster he can reach Tianhu and start practicing as soon as possible.
I don't know why, but from time to time, his mind would recall what Emperor Kong Tian had said to him before.
Judging from Emperor Kongtian's performance at that time, the situation in his great realm seemed to be getting worse and worse.
This gave Xiao Zhi a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
He must reach the highest level of cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise...
Xiao Zhi took Li Kuo and flew forward in silence.
As he was flying, he seemed to notice something, and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
At this time, he had a pair of green eyes open, his gaze falling on the vast land below.
Wherever he looked, the land was desolate, with no vegetation, no rivers, lakes, and even few undulating mountains. There was also a lingering black fog that lingered all year round, making it look lifeless.
An environment like this is actually very common in the heavenly world, and he has long been used to it.
What really concerned him was that in his memory, before, this place should have been a rolling mountain range. This mountain range area was composed of thousands of mountains of different heights, and some vegetation could be seen among them.
Although there is not much vegetation, it is far from lifeless.
As for the desolate and lifeless terrain in front of us, it should exist more than two thousand miles ahead.
The memory of the gods is very powerful.
The memory of the gods is almost impossible to make mistakes.
This means that the environment of this area has changed.
call!
Xiao Zhi, who was holding a black umbrella, suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then his figure soared into the sky, flying towards the extremely high sky.
After flying up to a height of tens of thousands of feet in one breath, Xiao Zhi stopped flying upward.
From his eyes, an extremely bright and dazzling green light bloomed, looking down at the vast land below.
Soon, the bright green light in his eyes dimmed, but Xiao Zhi's expression became extremely solemn.
He saw that it was not just the environment in his area that had changed.
It should be said that the area of the desolate and silent land ahead has expanded, its area has increased, and it has expanded to the surrounding area by one thousand to two thousand miles.
The air fluctuated, and Li Kuo's figure appeared out of thin air. He asked with some confusion: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Zhi did not hide this from Li Kuo and told him about his discovery.
When Li Kuo heard this, he couldn't help but frown. He recalled a little and said, "It seems like this is really the case. What is going on?"
"I don't know." Xiao Zhi shook his head.
After a few seconds, he breathed out a breath and said, "Let's go."
A few hours later, another desolate and silent land appeared in Xiao Zhi's field of vision.
Xiao Zhi once again soared into the sky, reaching an altitude of tens of thousands of feet. He used his ability to follow his words and opened up his vision tenfold to see the whole picture of this desolate and silent land.
When the dazzling green light in Xiao Zhi's eyes dimmed, the expression on Xiao Zhi's face became solemn again.
This desolate and dead land has also expanded. Although it has not expanded as much as the previous place, it has also expanded outwards from hundreds to a thousand miles.
In this way, several more hours passed, and another desolate and silent land appeared in Xiao Zhi's field of vision.
Xiao Zhi took another look as usual and found that this desolate and silent land had also expanded to a certain extent.
'What exactly is going on?'
'Why are these desolate and dead places expanding?'
‘Could it be related to the last joint guard mission?’ Xiao Zhi’s face was solemn, and he was thinking silently in his heart.
