When Xiao Zhi spoke, he turned around and bowed deeply to Cao Shaoyang, the master of Zhongchang Taoism.
Zhongchang Taoist Master Cao Shaoyang said with a faint smile: "The main thing is that Xiaoyou Xiao is strong enough. If Xiaoyou you are not strong enough, you will be killed by the dragon in an instant. Even if I want to save you, I can't save you.
"
Venerable Ji Shi showed a smile on his face and nodded towards Cao Shaoyang: "Master Cao, thank you very much."
At this time, Ziyang Junjun also took several Jindan monks in the county city and a group of foundation-building monks to rise into the air and come up to greet the two Nascent Soul cultivators, Venerable Ji Shi and Venerable Kui.
Venerable Jishi stayed in Ziyang County for a total of an hour.
An hour later, a big blue bird appeared in the sky above Ziyang County, carrying Venerable Li Yuan, Venerable Kui and Xiao Zhi, flying towards the direction of Dachang Imperial City.
It's called Qingluan, and it's not a living thing, but like Xiao Zhi's silver Pegasus, it was transformed from a statue.
Qingluan carried Xiao Zhi and others, and soon after flying forward, Master Kui jumped off Qingluan's back, and his body turned into a black mist and disappeared into the air.
Venerable Jishi sat cross-legged on Qingluan's back, with no joy or sorrow on his face, and seemed a little silent.
Xiao Zhi sat slightly further back, glancing at Lord Ji Shi from the corner of his eye from time to time.
He didn't understand why Venerable Ji Shi was so silent.
He only knew that in the past hour, Venerable Ji Shi called out the sound transmission jade talisman and seemed to be contacting someone. The contacts were very frequent. As for who he contacted and what he said to whom,
Well, Xiao Zhi doesn’t know about this.
At this time, Venerable Ji Shi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Xiao Zhi, please tell me this matter in detail again, and don't hide anything."
While speaking, Venerable Ji Shi turned to look at Xiao Zhi. There was a mysterious light shining in his eyes, which seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
Under his gaze, Xiao Zhi suddenly felt like all his secrets had been revealed.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Zhi nodded. He swallowed carefully and began to tell the story of how he left Dachang Imperial City and went to the sea to understand the law of water.
When he heard Xiao Zhi mention that he had already taken the first step in the water path and had just scratched the surface of his understanding, Venerable Jishi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
When I heard Xiao Zhi talking about it, Xiao Zhi received the message and returned to Dachang Imperial City from Canghai. After passing through the dangerous area of Yunwu Ze, he encountered the demon king Jiao Bai who rushed out of Yunwu Ze and chased him.
Frowning slightly, he showed a thoughtful expression.
When he heard Xiao Zhi talking about it, he shouted the name of Zhongchang Taoist Cao Shaoyang twice outside Ziyang County. Cao Shaoyang then slowly appeared and fought against Demon Lord Jiao Bai, allowing Xiao Zhi to escape from Demon Lord Jiao Bai.
When he escaped from Bai's domain? Venerable Jishi couldn't help but snorted.
When Xiao Zhi finished telling what happened? Venerable Ji Shi closed his eyes in silence, the expression on his face was still neither happy nor sad.
Xiao Zhi felt that Venerable Ji Shi looked a little abnormal, but he couldn't tell specifically what was abnormal about him.
It was not until late at night that day that Xiao Zhi, who had already returned to Dachang Imperial City. Staying in the inner courtyard of his residence in the inner city of the imperial city, received the jade talisman message from Master Kui. Xiao Zhi suddenly understood that Ji Shi
Why does the Venerable look a little abnormal?
Venerable Kui: "Xiao Zhi, you are the Jindan monk whom Ji Shi values the most. This is Zhongchang Dao, which is the core of our Dachang Kingdom. But now there are talented disciples of our Dachang Shenmen, here at Zhongchang Dao,
You were openly attacked and killed by monsters and almost died. This incident about you made Ji Shi feel extremely angry. Because of this incident, Ji Shi decided to unite with Yuanying Daxiu from the other two branches of Shenmen to attack the dangerous areas of Yunwuze. He wanted to
He invaded the dangerous area of Yunwu Ze and killed the demon king Jiao Bai. He wanted to establish his authority in this way, subdue Yunwu Ze, and frighten several other dangerous areas in Zhongchang Road. However, there were only a few people who responded to him. They all felt that Ji Shi
To do this is to make a fuss out of a molehill."
So that’s it, it turns out that the real situation is like this…
After receiving this message from Venerable Kui, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart and was speechless for a moment.
Venerable Jishi wants to stand up for him!
However, people from Yuxu's lineage spoke softly, and people from the other two lines of Shenmen didn't take it seriously at all when Venerable Ji Shi shouted.
This is very embarrassing and helpless.
This is not taking Venerable Ji Shi, the helmsman of the Yuxu lineage of Shenmen, seriously.
If he were the Venerable Jishi, he would be aggrieved and uncomfortable. No wonder the Venerable Jishi seemed so silent on Qingluan's back.
Xiao Zhi thought for a while, and then used the jade talisman to send a message to Venerable Kui in a respectful tone: "Thank you, Venerable Kui, for telling me this."
"You don't have to thank me. This matter has something to do with you. I think it's better to inform you." Venerable Kui's voice did not contain any warmth. It sounded like the biting cold wind in winter, which made people feel chilly.
.
Xiao Zhi took a deep breath and said through the sound transmission jade talisman: "Disciple, I dare to ask, Venerable Kui, what do you think?"
"I came here with Ji Shi, what do you think, Xiao Zhi?" Venerable Kui was laughing, but his laughter also sounded cold and biting.
Xiao Zhi expressed gratitude through the sound transmission jade talisman: "Master Kui's kindness will be borne in mind by my disciples!"
"It doesn't have to be like this. You are a disciple of my Yuxu lineage. However, my Yuxu lineage has declined. Now I am the only one who can take action. Even Ji Shi can only take action separately. It's just me and Ji Shi.
Without the Nascent Soul from the other two veins to take action, even if they attack the Yunwu Ze and kill the Demon Lord Jiao Bai, they still won't be able to escape intact." Venerable Kui's voice came out from the sound-transmitting jade talisman.
Xiao Zhi heard this and caught a certain detail in Venerable Kui's words. His pupils narrowed and he said, "Venerable Kui, just now you said that Venerable Ji Shi's clone took action?"
"Yes, what Ji Shi came over was a clone, not his true body. His true body needs to be stationed in the Imperial City of Dachang and cannot move lightly, so he can only come here in his clone form." The voice of Venerable Kui.
"But what I saw is clearly..." Xiao Zhi had an expression of disbelief on his face.
At that time, when Lord Jishi came to Ziyang County, Xiao Zhi used his Dacheng-level high-level magical power [Dazzling Diamond] to see him. He did not feel that there was any illusion in the figure of Lord Jishi.
I didn't feel the slightest abnormality on my body.
Later, when he rode Venerable Jishi's Qingluan mount back to Dachang Imperial City, he and Venerable Jishi were so close together for a long time, and he did not feel the slightest abnormality.
Is this really just a clone of Venerable Jishi?
Xiao Zhizhen couldn't believe this.
"It's normal that you can't tell that this is a clone." Venerable Kui's voice came out from the sound transmission jade talisman: "After all, although your cultivation talent is not bad, after all, you are just a golden elixir monk.
The gap with Li Yuan in terms of realm is too big, and the clone that Li Yuan has differentiated this time is not weak. It has the high-level strength of Nascent Soul. The weaker the clone's strength, the more illusory it will appear. It can be seen at a glance.
You can see that this is a clone, and conversely, the stronger the clone, the more real it will appear."
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he felt that what Venerable Kui said was reasonable, so he didn't worry about it anymore.
After returning to the Imperial City of Dachang, because he was far away from the sea, which was rich in water elements, it would be very difficult to realize the power of water elements, and he would get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, Xiao Zhi did not realize the power of water elements, but devoted himself to all lives.
In the Sumeru Realm, he went to the depths of the Sumeru Realm of all living beings and hunted new types of monsters such as Xingdi Yaksha that existed deep in the Sumeru Realm of all living beings in order to accumulate sentient being points.
One day passed, and time soon came to July 5, 2021.
This is a day worth remembering in history.
Because on this day, someone spent 10,000 sentient being points in the Sumeru Realm of All Living Beings, and redeemed the first item in the sentient being point product interface - an optimized version of the Qingyun Four Formation that can be built in the real world.
!
This optimized version of the Qingyun Four Formation that can be built in the real world has even better defense than the Qingyun Four Formation, the county-level city defense formation of Dachang Kingdom in the world of living beings.
According to the system, it has a very strong defense and can withstand attacks from early stage Golden Core monks for 10 minutes. In front of peak Golden Core monks, even if it cannot withstand attacks for 10 minutes, it can withstand attacks for 1 or 2 minutes.
, it should still be possible.
In addition, it has a protection range of 3000 meters by 3000 meters.
The person who spent 10,000 sentient being points to purchase the optimized version of the Qingyun Four Formation was none other than Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi planned to do something for the world he was in before entering the Zhenjun Dojo, so after returning to Dachang Imperial City, he diligently hunted gray mist monsters and new types of monsters in the Sumeru Realm of All Lives.
, only when the true energy in the body was consumed to less than 10%, did he return to the birth point.
His day's struggle, coupled with the living being points he had accumulated before, successfully made his living being points exceed 10,000, so he reported it to the living being army, hoping to help him where he was before entering the Zhenjun Dojo to understand the law.
In the real world, exchange for a Qingyun Four Formation.
Xiao Zhi's proposal was quickly approved by the senior officials of the All Creatures Army, and with the advice of the staff group, a specific location and plan for the formation were given.
On July 5th, it was just dawn.
The Dachangyuan villa area on the outskirts of Kyoto where Xiao Zhi lives.
In the suburbs of Kyoto in July, it was a bit cold in the early morning. Xiao held a cyan ball of light the size of a table tennis ball in his hand and walked out of his villa surrounded by soldiers from the Ministry of National Security.
At this time, dozens of people were already standing at the gate of the villa area under the bright street lights.
Surrounding them were soldiers from the Ministry of National Security standing upright with loaded weapons.
These dozens of people are all leaders and high-level officials of the Xia Kingdom. Their status is extraordinary. They are all big shots who can cause earthquakes in the Xia Kingdom with just a stamp of their feet. The commander of the All-Sentient Army, Mr. Yang, is among them.
.
As for Liu Yi, one of the top leaders of the All Living Beings Army, whom Xiao Zhi knew, he could only stand at the back of the dozens of people.
These senior officials of the Xia Kingdom came to watch the ceremony.
After all, before this, items in the world of sentient beings have never appeared in the real world. This is the first time in history, which is very memorable.
Not only the senior officials of Xia Kingdom, but also a large number of people came out of Dachang Garden.
The people who walked out of Dachang Garden were all young people who looked to be in their twenties and thirties. These young people were all players.
Players who are eligible to stay in Dachang Garden are, without exception, Dao realm players at the foundation building stage and above.
Before March or April, in the world where Xiao Zhi lived, there were only a handful of players in the foundation-building period, including Xiao Zhi. They were definitely rare beings.
But now, several months have passed, and the number of foundation building players in just one country, Xia Kingdom, has reached hundreds.
The All Living Beings Army's execution ability in the Xia Kingdom is very strong. Under the arrangement of the All Living Beings Army, almost all the foundation building players in the country have been arranged into Dachang Garden for centralized management and protection.
For a time, the Dachang Garden villa area and some areas around Dachang Garden were listed as military restricted areas by the Xia government, and elite troops were stationed there. Without permission, idlers and other people were prohibited from entering.
The Dachang Garden when it was first built could never accommodate so many players, so except for Jindan players like Xiao Zhi and those monk players at the peak of foundation building, the other players all stayed in one villa.
Even so, the number of villas in Dachang Garden was not enough, so the army of all beings began to expand Dachang Garden. The expansion area started as early as a month ago.
In just ten minutes, hundreds of people had gathered outside Dachang Garden. Although there were many people, no one dared to make a noise under such circumstances, and it seemed very quiet.
"Here we come, Xiao Zhi is here."
At this time, someone among the eagerly waiting crowd in the Dachangyuan Villa area shouted.
Everyone who heard the sound looked towards the gate of the villa area and saw a young man who was not tall and handsome, with his mouth pursed and a ball of cyan light the size of a table tennis ball in his hand.
The regiment, surrounded by more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers from the Ministry of National Security, walked out of the gate of the villa area with a serious look on their faces.
This person is none other than Xiao Zhi.
The reason why Xiao Zhi put on a serious expression was because this was his first time experiencing such an occasion, and he didn't know what kind of expression to put on, so the expression on his face unknowingly changed.
He looked stiff for a while, and then he looked serious.
When he held the cyan ball of light the size of a table tennis ball in both hands and walked out from the gate of the villa area, and saw dozens of middle-aged and elderly people standing quietly under the street lights, the corners of his mouth turned into a smile.
I noticed that I was tugging.
Many of these people are familiar faces that often appear in TV news. Why do they all appear here?
Is it necessary to be so solemn?
What he exchanged this time was just a Qingyun Quadruple Formation. This was just the lowest level defensive formation. Is it necessary to make it so solemn?
