With a plan in mind, Cheng Yu's goal was very clear. Although Cheng Yu was very disappointed that he didn't find the Yang Mirror, they had also gained a lot along the way.
Although they knew that the harvest would be great, they didn't dare to set their goal too high. After all, it would take too much time.
Five years had passed. Cheng Yu and the others had followed the planned route from the southwest to the northwest. They had taken down more than twenty outer dynasties and extracted nearly a hundred thousand Tribulation Stage cultivators from them.
This was definitely a very terrifying number. If he had to rely on himself to cultivate so many Tribulation Stage cultivators, it would take an unknown amount of resources and time.
However, through this method, in just five years, he had already harvested so many Tribulation Stage experts. This kind of achievement was absolutely unimaginable.
Young Master, we are not far from the inner court. If we continue to attack and occupy more of the outer court, I'm afraid it will be dangerous Elder Yang reminded Cheng Yu as they headed towards the north.
Where is the inner court? Cheng Yu asked.
"If we look at the map, the location of the Inner Court is about northeast of us. With our current speed, we should be able to reach it in about a month!" Elder Yang said.
A month? Cheng Yu was deep in thought.
Young Master, there are so many outer courts in the world. It's fine if we occupy the outer courts that are far away from the inner court. However, if we annex the outer court near the inner court, it will easily attract the attention of the inner court Elder Yang said.
That's right, Young Master. You may not know this, but the closer we are to the inner court, the tighter the inner court's control over these areas.
Therefore, if we want to annex the outer court here, it will be very easy to alert the enemy. Elder Fang obviously didn't support the young master's idea of taking over the outer court because it was too dangerous.
Speaking of which, they were traitors of the dynasty. Although they had already changed their appearance with the help of Cheng Yu's Illusion Pill.
However, as they got closer and closer to the inner court, their hearts kept drumming.
They clearly knew that no one here would recognize them. Even if they met an acquaintance, they might not be able to recognize them. However, the fear in their hearts was hard to hide.
More importantly, they were afraid that Cheng Yu would be too determined and would definitely take down all the Outer Dynasties. That would be too scary.
If they took action here, it was possible that before they could take down the outer court, the inner court would have already brought their troops to kill them.
Moreover, even if they managed to take down these foreign officials, they might very well be betrayed. Even if Cheng Yu requested them to make a Heavenly Dao Blood Oath, because the closer they were to the inner court, the higher their loyalty towards the inner court.
After all, they were only so far away. If it was too far away, the Inner Dynasty would definitely not send troops because it was not practical.
However, if the distance was close, it would not be difficult for them to dispatch troops.
Speaking of which, a month wasn't a short period of time. However, it would take a lot of time to take down a foreign dynasty. Especially when the foreign dynasties in these places were very loyal to the Inner Dynasty, it would definitely take a lot more time.
"Young Master, let's head straight to the east. It's dangerous to annex the outer territories here!" Elder Yun said worriedly.
"Since we've come to the territory of the inner court, we should at least go and take a look!" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"Young Master, you can't really be planning to annex the surrounding outer courts, right?" Elder Fang was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"Since all of you are so against it, there is naturally no need for me to take this risk. However, not annexing these outer courts doesn't mean that I can't go to the territory of the inner court to take a look.
At the very least, you should let me understand the situation of the inner court, right? As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles! "Cheng Yu explained.
"But will we be recognized by others?" Elder Feng asked worriedly.
In a place far away from the inner court, they wouldn't be worried at all. However, now that they had entered the territory of the inner court, although there was still about a month before they reached the inner court, this area was completely under the control of the inner court.
They themselves came from the inner court, so they naturally understood this in their hearts.
It was precisely because they understood that they had such worries.
"Don't worry, I will first refine a new batch of Illusion Pills for you. With my current strength, even if the elders of the inner court were to come, they wouldn't be able to see through the Illusion Pills.
In the entire dynasty, perhaps only the Great Lord is able to see through it. But didn't you guys say that the Great Lord is so mysterious? Even the people in the inner court are unable to see him? Now that we are outside the inner court, how could he possibly appear? "Cheng Yu replied confidently.
There was a huge difference between the pills refined and the strength. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have the materials from the Immortal World, he could even refine a Illusion Pill that ordinary immortals wouldn't be able to see through.
However, with his current strength, even if he couldn't refine a Illusion Pill that even immortals wouldn't be able to see through, just this Illusion Pill was enough for him to be safe.
After all, his own strength was so strong. If one wanted to see through his Illusion Pill, they would have to be stronger than him.
In the Mortal Realm, the only people who could be stronger than him were probably the Lord or the immortals behind him.
Even if there were people who were stronger than him, he believed that there wouldn't be many in this world.
Thus, Cheng Yu stopped and spent ten days to refine a large number of new Illusion Pills for everyone.
With the Illusion Pill as a preparation, they began to head towards the inner court.
This place needed a month to reach the inner court. This meant that although this place was already under the control of the inner court, the control was definitely very limited.
If Cheng Yu wanted to understand more about the inner court, then this place was obviously not a place he wanted to stay. Only by getting closer to the inner court would he be able to understand more about it.
If possible, he even wanted to enter the inner court to take a look.
However, he knew that this was indeed too dangerous. If something happened to him inside, what would happen to the Cheng Family? What about his women?
Therefore, he suppressed this thought to the bottom of his heart. At this time, it wasn't worth it for him to take such a risk.
In a month's time, they passed by many cities and went from one outer court to another.
Young Master, in front of us is the territory of the Dragon Pill Outer Court, and the inner court is hidden in the area of the Dragon Pill Outer Court.
In order to ensure the safety of the inner court, it was very troublesome for foreign cultivators above the Great Ascension Stage to enter and exit the Dragon Pill Outer Court. All local cultivators above the Great Ascension Stage must go to the City Lord's Mansion to obtain an identity token. This way, the local Great Ascension Stage cultivators can freely enter and exit the Dragon Pill Outer Court.
Therefore, the Great Ascension Stage cultivators in every city of the Dragon Pill Outer Court have their own identity token.
However, for foreign Great Ascension Stage cultivators, if they want to enter the Dragon Pill Outer Court, they have to pay a certain toll Elder Yang pointed at the border in front of them and said.
How much do they want to pay? Cheng Yu saw that there were indeed some people entering the city.
"Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!" Elder Yang said.
They are really ruthless. They earned 10,000 high-grade spirit stones so easily. This is much more cost-effective than robbing Cheng Yu said.
Although he wasn't short of Spirit Stones, it wasn't something to be happy about spending so many Spirit Stones just to enter the Dragon Pill Outer Dynasty.
This is because the essence of the inner court is to restrict too many experts above the Great Ascension Stage from entering the Dragon Pill Outer Court, which is disadvantageous to the inner court.
In addition, if there are ten cultivators above the Great Ascension Stage who want to enter the Dragon Pill Outer Court at the same time, it will be even more troublesome. Not only will the price increase by 10,000 high-grade spirit stones for every ten more, but they will also send people to follow them until they leave the Dragon Pill Outer Court.
This way, a large number of Great Ascension Stage cultivators can enter the Dragon Pill Outer Court and pose a threat to the inner court. Elder Fang explained.
It seems that the inner court is really careful Cheng Yu nodded.
However, thinking about it, in order to ensure the safety of the Cheng family, it was completely understandable that he had set up obstacles at the entrance and exit.
However, the heart of the inner court was a bit darker. They actually had to pay so much to enter and exit the outer court.
Of course, if they really didn't have any thoughts about the Dragon Pill Outer Court, most people would probably choose to take a detour.
After all, 10,000 high-grade spirit stones was not a small amount. If it was converted to low-grade spirit stones, it would be 100 million.
Although cultivators above the Great Ascension Stage would generally have a small value, not everyone would be willing to waste it like this.
"Originally, we were people of the Inner Dynasty, and our Inner Dynasty Medallions allowed us to pass directly. But now
We can no longer use the token, otherwise we will be exposed. Elder Feng said.
Since that's the case, then you can stay in my magic treasure. At least you don't have to give them so many spirit stones for nothing. After you enter the city, you can come out Cheng Yu said.
No, any foreign cultivator above the Great Ascension Stage who enters the city will be given a temporary identity token. The purpose of entering the city is recorded on it. With this temporary token, you can communicate with all the cities in the Dragon Pill Outer Court.
However, when he leaves the Dragon Pill Outer Court, he will take back this token when he comes out of seclusion
Moreover, in the city, there will often be patrols from the City Lord's Mansion checking the identity token. If we hide in the magic treasure and meet the patrols in the city, there will be no way to explain it and it will cause a lot of trouble Elder Yang explained.
Since that's the case, then we can only let them take advantage of it Cheng Yu said.
He originally came here to inquire about the situation in the inner court, not to cause trouble, so there was no need to attract the attention of others for tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Moreover, if he didn't come here to take a look, he might never know that this place was like this.
