After Zhang Yan passed through the world ring, he instantly felt that he had barged into a vast Qi dynamic. This Qi dynamic was boundless, and the whole world was under it.
The Sky-Scraping Boat seemed to have encountered a great pressure. Its speed suddenly slowed down and was only 10 to 20 percent of its original speed, and it was still decreasing. Not only that, even his body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of thick clothes, as if there was some kind of barrier between him and this world.
He had expected this situation, so he landed the boat and anchored it on a barren high mountain.
In the Yuhuan Heavens, Qinghua Heaven was different from where he was. It was known as the "Hundred Realms Mix, Ten Thousand Ruins Hide Emptiness". The big and small worlds intersected and were not clearly divided. However, this did not mean that cultivators could come and go as they pleased. Instead, there were more restrictions than other places. In some aspects, it could even be said to be the world with the most rules among the heavens.
For example, most cultivators who entered this world for the first time could not fly. According to the rules set by the Green Jade Palace, if they did not want to be restricted, they could only slowly accumulate Karma points.
There were many ways to earn Karma points, such as slaying demons and devils, helping people in danger, and even imparting Taoism. There were also many details to pay attention to. Usually, a practitioner needed to accumulate tens of thousands of Karma points to be able to fly freely.
However, this did not mean that they could do whatever they wanted. If a cultivator did evil, their previous Karma points would be taken away, and they would still be beaten down to the mortal world unless they left this world.
However, it was easy to enter, but difficult to leave. This was because once a cultivator entered this world, his Divine Sense and Taoist arts would be restricted by the Weili. If he wanted to use them, he would need to accumulate Karma points and release the restrictions layer by layer until he had enough Karma points.
It was said that this was a Divine Sense performed by the Palace Master of Green Jade Palace. Therefore, there were no loopholes to take advantage of. Through this semi-forced method, most cultivators could only walk on the ground obediently and even mix in the mortal world.
However, it was not without benefits. If you had enough Karma points, you could even directly use the Divine Sense that Green Jade Palace gave you, or even exchange it for good magic treasures and elixirs.
This also created a unique scene in this world. The more Karma points a cultivator had, the more tricks he could use. If two cultivators had similar cultivation, they might not be able to win in other places, but here, the one with more Karma points would definitely win.
Rumor had it that the Green Jade Palace was doing this to deal with the demons from the outer realms. Most of the foreign enemies who had invaded the Remnant Heavens had entered the Green Jade Heaven. Due to this method, the demons that had just entered the Green Jade Heaven could not display much of their abilities. Even ordinary people who had a rough understanding of the Qi Refinement Dao could fight against them as long as they had Dharma treasures and talismans passed down by cultivators.
After understanding it, Zhang Yan thought that Green Jade Palace's intention was not so simple. There must be a deeper purpose. He believed that he was not the only one who had noticed this. Many people had also noticed it. However, the gap between them and the mighty figures of True Yang was too big, so there was no need for them to delve deeper into the secret, because it was meaningless. Even if they knew everything, they would not be able to change anything.
He stretched out his hand and slightly clenched his fist. For a cultivator of his level, because he had already found the root and fruit and formed his own heaven, it was impossible for his magic power to be completely restrained. However, if he were to forcefully use it, the consumption would be several times or even more than ten times than before. If he were to fight someone with a similar level of cultivation at this time, he would definitely be at a great disadvantage.
However, there was one difference between him and others. Although his Qi Refinement was like this, his Body of Strength could be replenished by an endless stream of inexplicable items that came from across space. At most, he could not increase his strength by himself during a battle, so it did not affect his fighting ability in this aspect.
However, now that he was here, he did not want to show off too much, so he took out a shining talisman from his sleeve.
Generally speaking, cultivators with Mortal Transformation Cultivation were all mighty figures of a region. They did not need to walk step by step like other low-level cultivators. They only needed to send a talisman over, and Green Jade Palace would remove the restraints for them and allow them to use the many formation doors in the Heavenly World to travel.
However, the prerequisite for this was that they must be from the Yuhuan Heavens. If they were not, they would need at least a mighty cultivator to introduce them.
When he left Tanbo Sect, Daoist Tong Guang had given him a Referral Talisman. At this moment, it came in handy. He used his Dharma to lift it and let it fly into the sky. Then, he sat down and waited for news.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
However, Zhang Yan felt that something was wrong. He had asked Daoist Tong Guang before. After the Referral Talisman was sent, there would be a result in five or six days at most. Even if they were not willing to remove the restraints on him, there would definitely be a reply to explain the reason. However, there was no movement at all. Perhaps there was some unforeseen event here. It was more likely that someone had tampered with the talisman, so the talisman did not successfully reach Green Jade Palace.
He thought about it. If it was the latter possibility, then the other party might have a backup plan. He could not just sit here and wait.
Since this method did not work, then he could only do it step by step.
The Demon Demand Edict could only be obtained at the Golden Hall of Imperial Edict. To get there, one had to pass through the formation door that Green Jade Palace had set up beforehand. However, the cultivators who returned first had to sacrifice a sufficient number of demons and accumulate a certain amount of Karma points before they could use this place.
However, with his status, there was no need for him to do it himself. He only needed to instruct his subordinates. With a flick of his finger, a ray of spiritual light shot out. Not long after, Ren Ji came to the front of the seat and bowed. He said, "What instructions do you have for me, Master?"
Zhang Yan said, "This time, you and Qu Zhao will go out together. There is no need for you to do anything else. Just focus on killing demons and saving lives. When the time is right, I will call you back."
Ren Ji did not question further. He immediately replied, "Yes, Master."
In reality, with Qu Zhao's ability, it was very easy for him to do these things. However, he was still a demon. If there was no one to control him, many people would immediately come to take him in for the sake of Karma points.
In the Great Bitter Plains, a long caravan was walking on the wasteland against the strong wind. Most of the caravans were demons such as rhinoceroses and oxen.
At the front of the caravan was a tall old man. Although his hair and beard were silver, his eyes were sharp and his steps were steady. It was obvious that he still had an extraordinary physique.
After a long time, seeing that the wind was getting weaker, he spat out the sand and stones in his mouth. He pulled a horse over and untied his waterskin. He removed the stopper from his mouth and drank a mouthful of water. He then asked a Daoist beside him, "Imperial Advisor, where are we now?"
The Daoist said, "Let me see."
He took out a piece of talisman paper and waved it in the air. Then, he took out a porcelain bowl filled with clear water and soaked the talisman in it. After a while, a few golden words appeared on the surface of the bowl. He lifted his head and said happily, "Leader Zhao, we are almost there. After we cross this col, we will reach the Qi Yi Altar in at most half a month's journey."
The old man who was addressed as Team Leader Zhao also showed joy in his eyes. He raised his voice and shouted to the tired people behind him, "Get your spirits up and work harder. Once we get past this mountain, we'll reach Formation City."
Because the group was too long, it required people to pass the words down one by one. However, when everyone heard those words, their spirits were greatly uplifted, and they roared in unison. The originally dispirited and listless group suddenly glowed with vigor.
The Daoist reached into his pouch and took out a bottle of fine wine as well as several plump and moist red fruits. Then, he began to eat them.
The few people following behind him were all envious and jealous.
A man who looked like a manager came to Leader Zhao's side and stared at the pouch. He whispered, "Leader, if we had such an item, why would we need to transport it in a big cart? Can we ask for it? "
Leader Zhao was knowledgeable. He shook his head and said, "Don't think too much. This kind of celestial treasure can only be activated with mana. Even if you give it to us, no one will be able to move it. Moreover, the pouch can only hold half of the caravan. It is not as useful as you think."
When the manager heard this, he could not help but say that it was a pity.
The Daoist drank a few mouthfuls of wine and felt comfortable all over. His tiredness was also swept away. He also heard the conversation between the two and put away the wine bottle again. He said with a smile, "Leader Zhao is right and wrong. For example, the thing in my hand can only hold half of the caravan. However, the Qiankun pouch in the hands of the superior cultivators can easily hold the whole caravan."
The manager's eyes lit up and he said, "I wonder how many Karma points such an item would cost."
In the Qinghua Heaven, mortals could also have Karma points. However, they mostly used them to exchange for things that were useful to them, such as weapons, talismans, and magic weapons. Pills and external medicine were the most common things that could be exchanged.
The Daoist calculated and said casually, "A million Karma points."
The manager was shocked and then said dejectedly, "A million Karma points. I'm afraid only the relatives of the nobles in the imperial court can gather that much."
The Daoist was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. His nose twitched and he said, "What a strong Demonic Qi. There are demons here. Quickly stop and guard!"
Just as he was speaking, black smoke suddenly rose from the ground around him, covering the sky. Then, the sand was lifted, and one after another, ape-like monsters with rat faces crawled out. However, most of them were skin and bones, and their eye sockets were sunken. It was obvious that they hadn't eaten for a long time.
Leader Zhao reacted very quickly and shouted, "Form the caravan formation and quickly take out the protective jade stone."
This situation came without warning, but few people panicked. It seemed that they had long been accustomed to this situation. As soon as the order was given, everyone took out flat stones that were the size of golden melons and hit them with mallets. Suddenly, a ray of light bloomed and covered the caravan. Under the dark sky, the whole caravan was like a long dragon with a shining back.
The Daoist looked around and frowned. "These are earth monkeys. There are quite a lot of them. That's strange. How could there be so many monsters lying in ambush so close to the altar?" Suddenly, he saw a Daoist leading a double-headed bull on the opposite hill. His eyes lit up and he said loudly, "I wonder which fellow daoist is here. I'm Wei Song from Riding Cloud Ridge. I'm escorting the medicine team here. I hope you can help me!"
