Guanshan Prefecture
Normally, people who entered Dragon City would start accumulating merits after stepping into the Nirvana Realm.
Those Banner Lords would also bring their subordinates to the Hidden Dragon Pavilion to accept missions.
However, regardless of whether it was their subordinates or the Banner Lords themselves, the minimum requirement was to be in the Nirvana Realm. Those who were below the Nirvana Realm were better off staying in Dragon City and cultivating.
Luo Zheng had only brought his disciples into Dragon City for a short period of time.
Even the most outstanding Yue Baicheng and Qiu Yi were still wandering around the periphery of the Sea of True Intent. Naturally, they were not qualified.
In the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, a skinny middle-aged man saw Luo Zheng and sized him up subconsciously. Then, he placed a square plaque in front of Luo Zheng.
There were many labels on this plaque, and the merits one could obtain were different.
"One-star missions can only give 20 merits …"
"Two-star missions can only give 60 merits …"
"Three-star missions can only give 180 merits."
"Five-star missions can only give 900 merits."
After reading the introduction on the plaque, Luo Zheng turned to look at Su Kuan. "How many merits do I need to be promoted to Alliance Master?"
"Nine hundred," Su Kuan answered quickly.
"Five-star missions then." Luo Zheng looked at the middle-aged man and smiled.
"Cough cough …"
Su Kuan and the middle-aged man coughed at the same time.
Luo Zheng looked at the middle-aged man suspiciously. Only then did the middle-aged man realize that he had lost his composure. He quickly put on a serious expression and said, "Five-star missions are more difficult. Normally, only Alliance Masters can accept them."
The five-star missions here required strength that was about the same as one-star Tai Yiwei.
"You mean the Banner Lords can't accept them?" Luo Zheng looked at the middle-aged man and asked.
"You can, but …" The middle-aged man was still hesitant.
"But what?" Luo Zheng stared at the man.
Luo Zheng was not a fool. He could faintly feel that there were people following him in Dragon City. However, since these people did not show up, Luo Zheng did not want them to affect his judgment.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and then his expression suddenly became extremely strange. He quickly changed his expression and said with a smile, "There are no buts. You are free to accept whatever mission you want. However, five-star missions are extremely dangerous. Even the alliance masters have suffered many casualties. You, a mere banner master, need to reconsider."
"I've thought about it," Luo Zheng replied.
"If that's the case, that's great." The middle-aged man waved his hand gently, and a small magic array condensed in his hand. Then, it turned into a palm-sized token. "The information about this mission, the document of passage, and the teleportation order are all in it. You must take good care of it!"
The journey to the Mountain View Prefecture was not short. Although teleportation formations were built along the way, the checkpoints of the Heavenly Palace were heavily guarded. If he lost this token, it would be difficult to move forward.
After obtaining this token and exiting the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Luo Zheng looked at the uneasy Su Kuan and said, "It's not too late for you to regret it now."
Su Kuan's mouth twitched …
Although he wanted to follow Luo Zheng, this guy had accepted a five-star mission. With his cultivation, wouldn't he be courting death?
"Banner Master … can you tell me the details of the mission?" Su Kuan asked.
Luo Zheng poured a strand of divine sense into the token. After understanding it for a while, he said, "It is indeed to head to the Mountain View Prefecture and request to guard Jade Cloud City."
If it was any other place, it would be fine. However, when Su Kuan heard Jade Cloud City, his expression changed, and his heart tightened.
Guarding Jade Cloud City was already a five-star mission. This meant that Jade Cloud City itself was in danger!
"You still plan to go?" Luo Zheng asked.
"I'll go!" Su Kuan instantly made up his mind.
Luo Zheng sized up Su Kuan and asked, "This Jade Cloud City has some relationship with you, right?"
Su Kuan did not answer.
Luo Zheng shrugged. Since Su Kuan was unwilling to say, he did not pursue the matter.
A huge transportation array was built in the north corner of Dragon City. After showing the token, the guards allowed the two to enter.
The long-distance transportation in the mother world was somewhat different from that in the divine realm.
In the divine realm, as long as one's cultivation reached a certain level, they could travel freely in the entire divine realm. However, in the mother world, each prefecture was a different world. When one reached the border of a large prefecture, one would need to leave the transportation array and cross the barrier between the prefectures before being transported again. It was quite tedious.
Luo Zheng and Su Kuan headed north. After passing the Center God Province, they arrived at the North Qi Province and entered the Shan Ming Province.
Along the way, it was the homeland of the human race. There were no great demons invading. The human race had built countless cities, forces, and sects.
Seeing these large prefectures, Luo Zheng sighed in his heart.
The Jiuli race used to be the orthodox human race, just like the Heavenly Palace. However, those great rivers and mountains were destroyed just like that. Moreover, it was the human race that killed each other. Thinking of this, Luo Zheng also felt a faint burden in his heart.
Reviving the Jiuli race was not something that could be solved in a short period of time.
"Guanshan Province is next door. When the time comes, Tai Yiwei will take you away." The guard guarding the transportation array looked at Luo Zheng's token and chose to let them pass. At the same time, he warned, "Guanshan Province is much more chaotic than here. You have to be careful."
Luo Zheng and Su Kuan were not the only ones who passed through the transportation array. There were many people behind them.
Among them, a considerable number came from the sects under the Heavenly Palace.
Qiu Yin River had set up many sects in other prefectures. In the large prefectures controlled by the Heavenly Palace, there were tens of thousands of sects standing tall!
The Dao Sword Palace set up the "Tian Luo Guard". These sects also had various "guards", such as the Qing Ping Guard, the God Guarding Guard, the Deep Sea Guard, and so on. Luo Zheng also met many of them along the way.
Of course, the value of these "guards" naturally could not be compared with Tai Yiwei. These forces themselves were imitating Tai Yiwei.
These sects also had a large number of people who needed to gain experience. The sects themselves also needed to prove themselves to the Heavenly Palace. They would also send experts to assist the Heavenly Palace.
Now that Guanshan Province was in trouble, naturally there would be a large number of reinforcements coming here.
When these "guards" saw the token in Luo Zheng's hand, there was a faint look of envy.
Although Luo Zheng was not Tai Yiwei, he was after all a person from Dragon City. Only people from there were qualified to enter Tai Yiwei, representing the orthodox Heavenly Palace.
"Thank you for the reminder." Luo Zheng took back the token. After the guards checked it, the others also followed behind Luo Zheng and boarded a giant airship. This giant airship would send everyone through the space barrier.
There were about a thousand people on the airship. Some were worried about the future, and some were very excited. The airship was noisy.
Luo Zheng and Su Kuan leaned at the back, not saying a word.
Half an hour later, the airship passed through the space barrier.
Before everyone could see the scenery of Guanshan Province, they saw a small black dot in the distance flying over.
The giant airship's space barrier rippled and was instantly penetrated by this black dot.
"Pata …"
The black dot had landed in the center of the airship.
Luo Zheng glanced at the black dot and saw that it was a black three-legged bird.
This bird was pitch-black all over. Only its three legs shone like pure gold.
Luo Zheng observed and felt that the energy in this bird was very violent. It was very similar to the moment when the energy of the Dao Fusion exploded. His face suddenly changed and he cried out in alarm, "Be careful!"
