Lou Xiaoyi thanked his Senior Brother for his kindness. "Senior Brother, take care of yourself. Even if there are changes, they might not necessarily be on the road sign. The return journey is also included, so you still need to be careful. The Great Path is missing, and people's hearts are in chaos. No one can protect themselves, so we must be extra careful!"
The two said goodbye, and Senior Brother Kou left on the raft. Since there was a replacement, he didn't want to linger in this place.
Lou Xiaoyi looked at his back and began to ponder.
Senior Brother Kou's intuition was right. Such a fixed place, no matter how hidden and inconspicuous it was, it still existed! With the accumulation of time, there would always be accidents. In the past, it could be purely regarded as a coincidence, but now that the overall environment had changed, there was an inevitability!
The Sect had a clear definition of the task of guarding the road sign. Maintenance, correction, and Spirit Replenishment were the main tasks, while defense was the secondary responsibility!
It was unrealistic to expect a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator to deal with the malicious attacks on his own. Not to mention a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, how could the True Immortals at every relay point defend against the conscious attacks?
Therefore, the more important thing was to deter and drive away the occasional passerby. If something really happened, they just had to leave. As long as they could pass the message back, it would be enough to see the general purpose of the malicious person.
Fainting was not enough to kill him! When he came up with the idea of taking the task, he didn't expect to be sent to such a remote place. He couldn't back down, so he could only bite the bullet and do it. It was also because he chose the wrong time. If he came a little later, would this task have been taken by someone else?
What he didn't know was that this task was specially reserved for him. He would receive it whenever he came, unless he didn't want to serve the Sect!
Flying close to the road sign and carefully studying its structure was part of his duty.
From the outside, it looked like an inconspicuous meteorite, no different from the trillions of stones in the universe. It had a diameter of more than a hundred feet, but in fact, the outer layer was made of real stone, and only the inner layer was made of real stone.
He wasn't proficient in crafting weapons, but he had the detailed blueprints and basic explanations given by the sect. It wasn't too difficult for him to figure it out. After all, he was going to be the maintainer for the next few decades. How could he maintain it if he didn't know anything about it?
In the process of understanding the road signs, a certain doubt arose in his heart. The more he studied the road signs, the more puzzled he became. This was because he gradually understood that even though the road signs were inconspicuous, they were related to the core of a domain — how to get out of the universe!
The structure of the road sign was secondary. If it was really taken away by an outsider, they could probably replicate it by disassembling it. However, the most important thing was the road sign signal transmission system given to him by the sect. To put it simply, this thing was like a password book. Only with the password could the road sign work effectively, send out and receive messages normally!
It was the secret key!
The problem was, since when was his ear so valued by the sect? Fearless opened up all these core things to him?
In the sect, he had never felt such importance. At most, he was a person who was gradually integrating into the Carefree Sect. His complete loyalty was still being tested!
Or was it because they knew that this place was starting to become dangerous, so they found some cannon fodder? It didn't seem like it!
He buried his doubts in his heart. It was useless to think too much about it! After studying the road signs, he prepared to go to the Changshuo Domain of the main world to take a look. After all, he was alone in the outside world. There were many places where he would need the help of the cultivators of Changshuo.
When the cultivators entered and exited the Positive and Negative Space, the power to break the walls completely came from the ferry. This was the reason why he was so fond of this ferry.
Under his control, the head of the ferry shone brightly. The energy was accumulating and the walls were weakening … The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that it took a long time. If he was in the middle of a battle, he wouldn't be able to use it at all. After nearly two hours, it could be easily interrupted. It couldn't be used as a means of escape. There was nothing he could do.
After two hours, the energy of the ferry was enough. It leaped forward and disappeared into the void …
…
Taoist Kong Gu sat quietly in the main hall, his thoughts uncertain.
Several Yuanying Taoists sat cross-legged in front of him, each of them frowning. One of them was still giving his report.
"That group of Void Travellers came to our Changshuo Domain again two days ago. They didn't do anything. They just had a drink in the mortal world and then left in a hurry. Just like before, they didn't disturb the domain at all. However, I saw that there were two more of them. Now, there are more than ten of them …
I think that Changshuo needs to come up with a plan. Otherwise, the strength of these people will continue to increase. One day, they will surpass the strength of Changshuo. I don't think it's as simple as just having a drink! "
One of the Yuanying had a different opinion. "Although they didn't interact with each other, I think they are quite polite. For the past ten years, they didn't interfere with each other's business. Our Changshuo cultivators have met them more than once when we went out into the void. They have never provoked us!
If we act rashly and chase them away, before we know their origins, won't we bring unknown danger to Changshuo?
Changshuo doesn't have a Heaven and Earth Membrane. Once we start fighting with cultivators of unknown origin, the damage to the mortal world is almost unavoidable. These consequences can't be ignored! "
Another Yuanying was also helpless. "They don't leave and they don't stay. They refuse to communicate and we don't understand their true intentions! It's really troublesome!
Our Changshuo Domain is located in a remote area. There are no cultivator domains in the surrounding area. How did these people gather here? What's their purpose? Is it for our Changshuo? Or are they just passing by? "
Taoist Kong Gu sighed. These were all old topics. They had discussed this matter countless times over the past ten years. Until now, they still couldn't come up with an effective solution. This was the awkwardness of small and medium-sized cultivator domains.
Changshuo Domain was a medium-sized domain. There was only one sect, Lord Laojun Temple. It was an orthodox Taoist inheritance. As for its origin, too much time had passed and no one knew. It was one of the countless seeds of Taoism in the universe. Because of the limited cultivation environment, its current scale was at its limit. There was limited room for growth.
Lord Laojun Temple was a Taoist sect that enjoyed itself. Because it was located in a remote area, there weren't many disputes. The universe it was located in belonged to the kind that belonged to the kind where there were very few cultivator domains. It couldn't be compared to Zhou Xian's flourishing atmosphere.
If they didn't fight for anything, they could still get by!
Changshuo also had a backer. It was the Zhou Xian Upper Domain that used this as the relay point of the waymark. Their relationship had been established for a long time. They were both orthodox Taoists and could accept each other.
Zhou Xian set up the anti-space waymark here. It needed the support of the natives like Changshuo in certain aspects. Changshuo relied on it to have a strong support force when there was danger from the outer domain. After so many years, both sides lived in harmony. It was also a model of harmonious relations between domains in the universe.
