I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 336: Suppression of the Heaven and Earth Bridge! (Subscription Request)
"I will explain this matter later when I reach the Acropolis or the Fortified City."

Chen Yi looked at the three people who were still thinking, chuckled and said, "Back to the previous question, you should first consider whether to report it."

"But I have to remind you that the enemy is unknown now. Acting rashly will only hurt others and yourself."

Chen Yi's many past experiences told him that whether in Tianyuan Continent or Taizhou Mountain battlefield, strength is paramount.

Before you have enough strength, even if you know who the enemy is, you cannot easily touch him.

Just like how he treated Zhou Tiance - even though he knew since childhood that Zhou Tiance and the "Hidden Dragon" he raised were harming him, he still did not intensify the conflict.

Instead, he improved his cultivation and skills while finding out everything clearly, so as to eliminate one by one the "Black Impermanence" and "Extremely Pure Heaven" of the Demon Court hiding in the Wei Dynasty, as well as Wang Yang, Zhou Guanwu, Tuxingseng and others hiding in Kyoto Prefecture.

It was not until he returned to Kyoto Prefecture from the Shiwanda Mountains that he killed Zhou Tiance and settled the grudge.

Thinking back, if he had directly broken off relations with Zhou Tiance from the very beginning, there would only be two results.

Or, under the constant pressure of the "Hidden Dragon", he would travel around to improve his cultivation and skills more quickly, and then succeed in revenge.

Either he died in Zhou Tiance's or Chen's assassination.

And this is just the impact on him personally.

There are also the boss Chen Yuan, the people in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, the little girl and others, they will all be implicated.

It was impossible for him, the little girl, Chen Yuan and others to practice peacefully for ten years.

"Senior, what are your plans?" Gu Zhuo looked at his junior brothers and sisters, and seeing that they were mostly hesitant, he asked Chen Yi, "If you were us, would you choose to report to the generals?"

Chen Yi nodded directly, "With my cultivation level, I am not afraid of being retaliated against."

Gu Zhuo: “…”

It was such a powerful truth that he couldn't think of any words to refute it.

"What if you have the same cultivation level as us?" Ji Binglan asked carefully.

"Of course, you should protect yourself first," Chen Yi said matter-of-factly. "You don't even know who the other party is, so how can you report it?"

"But what if..."

Without waiting for the three to explain, Chen Yi raised his hand to interrupt and said, "I understand your sincere desire to serve the human race, but now is far from the time to report this matter."

"In my opinion, you can investigate secretly first, and then report it once you have a clear target or suspect."

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the three people's faces, Chen Yi shook his head secretly, thinking that they didn't use his brain at all.

"The tiger demon just now has revealed the times when Bai Yuanguang visited the mountain stronghold several times. You might as well use this as a starting point to check whether there are any powerful people who disappeared for no reason in Renjijian City or the nearby Weicheng during that period."

Gu Zhuo suddenly understood and said respectfully, "Senior, you have thought it through."

The solemn expression on Yin Shunan's face relaxed, "If we use this as a breakthrough, it would be simple."

"First, rule out the guards near the Acropolis. Usually, there are four guards on duty in rotation, and there are records of them going out and on duty during that time."

"Then we will investigate the generals in Renjijian City one by one. The defense there is even more strict. No matter who goes out, there will be records. Unless he can evade the supervision of the ancestors, there will be clues left behind."

Gu Zhuo nodded and added in agreement: "I just thought of one thing. Since the other party is heading to the vanguard demon village of Renji City, there is no need to check these acropolises near the Netherworld River."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he understood what he meant.

——Unless that powerful being can ignore the danger of the Netherworld River and go upstream along the Netherworld River, it is impossible for him to go around from the rear of the human race to the vanguard demon village of the Demon Court.

Thinking of this.

Chen Yi said, "The specific investigation method can be carried out secretly by the three of you. Of course, after confirming my identity, I may also investigate a little."

Gu Zhuo and the other two were delighted and immediately clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, senior."

"With your words, we are relieved of our worries."

"Yes, senior," Ji Binglan said with admiration, "With your cultivation level, you will definitely be able to protect us."

Chen Yi smiled and nodded, "If there are no other changes later, I don't mind staying in Renjijian City or Baidi City where you are for a while."

There are still a few months before Xun Wangtian gathers to explore the secret realm as Zhao Muzi mentioned earlier, and during this period he can still act freely.

In addition to investigating Bai Yuanguang, the powerful person who joined the Demon Court, the second thing is to find the whereabouts of Ning Xue, Zhan Hongxiu and others so as to reunite with them.

However, at this moment, Chen Yi was more concerned about another thing - how to break through the blockade of the Demon Court and go to the realm of Taizhou Mountain to reunite with Zhao Muzi and others.

He couldn't possibly owe a favor to Taoist priests Zhao Muzi and Zhao Tianhe and ask them to come and take him away just for such a small matter, right?

"From what you just said, there is no powerful person in the fortified cities of the human race who can bypass the Demon Court or Taizhou Mountain through the Netherworld River?"

Gu Zhuo paused, and the joy he had shown earlier because of the arrangement Chen Yi mentioned turned into vague fear because of the three words "Netherworld River".

After exchanging glances with Yin Shunan for a moment, he took a deep breath and explained:
"I dare not hide it from you, Senior. For the cultivators of our human race, and even for the great demon kings in the Demon Court, the Netherworld River is a forbidden place."

Chen Yi nodded slightly, motioning him to continue.

"Like the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge', the 'Underworld River' is one of the two forbidden areas in the Taizhou Mountain Realm."

"The former is because any cultivator or demon who sets foot in that river will be attacked by the evil spirits hiding under the river, and the fight will not stop until they die." Gu Zhuo said in a deep voice:
"As far as I know, even powerful people at the first and second levels of magical power can only stay on the Netherworld River for a quarter of an hour. If they stay longer than that, they will be attacked by one or more evil spirits of the same level, and they will die on the spot if they are not careful."

"If a powerful person above the third level of magical power goes there, he will attract evil spirits of the same level in ten breaths at most. The higher the cultivation level, the higher the cultivation level of the evil spirits that will come out of the Netherworld River, and even the number will increase."

"It's not like there were no human ancestors who tried to bypass the blockade of the Demon Court through the Netherworld River, but without exception, they all died."

Having said this, Gu Zhuo paused for a moment, and when he saw that Chen Yi did not respond, he continued:

"In fact, the classics in the fortified city are all recorded in detail. If the identity of the senior is verified to be correct, you can go to the library in the city to borrow it."

Of course, he hoped that the young Taoist priest in front of him with a mysterious identity and amazing cultivation was really from Taixu Taoist Sect, so that the three brothers and sisters could be considered to have made a great contribution.

After all, from the previous conversations between several people, he was already certain that Chen Yi's magical skills should be above the Tongyou realm - the Shentong realm!

"That's even better. I'll go take a look later." Chen Yi nodded and had a deeper understanding of the Netherworld River.

Obviously, the human race, or Gu Zhuo and the other two, should know little about the secrets of the Nether River. At least few people know about the mysterious ferryman who fishes on the river.

However, Chen Yi did not intend to miss this opportunity. He knew that the Eighth Prince of Xun Wangtian was in the Netherworld River at the moment, and Taoist Zhao Muzi had mentioned before how to avoid the "ferryman".

This means that he should be able to find a way to safely pass through the Netherworld River in Xunwangtian - if he can do this to avoid the blockade of the Demon Court, his whereabouts will be more covert.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi looked up at the sky. Seeing that the sky was slightly brighter at this moment, the "bridge between heaven and earth" that was still faintly glowing in the fish belly white sky became more majestic and brilliant, so he said:

"What about the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge'?" Snap.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhuo slapped his forehead and said seriously, "I almost forgot about the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge'."

"Senior, after you pass the examination, you should immediately go to the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge' to leave the mark of divine will."

"Oh?"

"Very important!"

Even Ji Binglan and Yin Shunan started to persuade him.

"Senior, all cultivators who come to Taizhou Mountain from Tianyuan Continent for the first time must go to the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge' to imprint their divine will as soon as possible, otherwise the bridge will soon punish you."

"Punishment?" Chen Yiqi asked, "What kind of punishment? You can't send out heavenly soldiers and generals like you did in Tianyuan Continent, right?"

Ji Binglan shook her head repeatedly and explained faster, "No, no, no, all the cultivators who have not had their divine will imprinted on them will be suppressed."

"Not only will the speed of cultivation be slowed down, but the concentration of the surrounding heaven and earth energy, the range of mind perception, etc. will also be affected."

"Senior, you should have noticed that after coming here from Tianyuan Continent, the range of your mind's perception should have shrunk by dozens of times, right?"

Chen Yi was suddenly enlightened when he heard this, "It has indeed shrunk by ten times."

No wonder his perception range was reduced after he came here. He originally thought it was because the vitality in Taizhou Mountain was too dense and the environment was special, but he didn't expect that the root cause was that bridge.

However, he had already decided not to imprint the so-called mark of God's will on the "Bridge of Heaven and Earth" so as to avoid being affected by the conspiracy of certain entities.

Looking back now, he was right to do so - according to what Taoist Zhao Muzi said before, at first the "Bridge of Heaven and Earth" was only as big as a small boat and very inconspicuous. Later, as more and more cultivators imprinted their divine will on it, it gradually grew into what it is today.

Such a thing is as weird as the ferryman who fishes alone in a boat on the "River of Hades".

There was no way he would test the depth of the water knowing the danger.

"Only more than ten times?" Gu Zhuo looked at him in surprise, "Senior's skill level should be quite high, right?"

Chen Yi smiled but did not respond. "Besides suppression, will the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge' have any other reactions?"

Gu Zhuo and the other two looked at each other and couldn't help but think: Isn't this enough?

You must know that if the cultivation level improves slowly, it will greatly prolong the time it takes for a cultivator to break through a realm. Those with less talent may not be able to break through to the next realm even until the end of their lifespan.

The slow condensation of the vital energy of heaven and earth is related to the fighting between cultivators and enemies. No matter what kind of inheritance it is, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, etc., they all need the vital energy of heaven and earth to perform techniques and secret arts.

The same is true for the final range of mental perception. If it is suppressed, at the same level, the enemy can be caught off guard first...

Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo hesitated and said, "Senior, if you imprint your divine will on the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge', I believe you will soon be able to make a breakthrough. This can also be regarded as the benefit that the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge' brings to the cultivators who come to Taizhou Mountain for the first time."

"benefit?"

Chen Yi thought, if that was the case, it would be even more impossible for him to imprint God’s will on the “Bridge of Heaven and Earth”.

All these things indicate that the bridge is consciously forcing all monks to imprint their divine will on it. It is hard to say what strange intentions it has.

If it is really for the good of the creatures in all realms of Taizhou Mountain, why is there suppression? Wouldn't it be better to just treat them equally?

It gave him the feeling that... he was trying to cover up his mistake? Probably.

"I will make plans for this matter later after I go to the human race's strong city. I am not in a hurry to break through right now."

Chen Yi said perfunctorily, then asked, "Is there anything I can do for the review?"

"No, no..." Gu Zhuo shook his head, stood up and pointed to the back of Chen Yi and said:
"Five thousand miles in this direction is the Baidi City we are guarding. If you don't mind, we can show you the way."

Ji Binglan said happily: "Yes, senior, you just came from Tianyuan Continent and are not familiar with this place. Come back to Baidi City with us?"

Yin Shunan hesitated for a moment. He wanted to ask more about Chen Yi's identity and deeds, but when he heard his two fellow disciples say so, he could only nod and agree:

"According to the rules set by the ancestors, all new human cultivators who come to Mount Taizhou must have their identities checked by the nearby guards. During this period, I'm afraid I'll have to endure some time."

At this point, Yin Shunan was worried that it might cause misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained:

"After all, you didn't come from the North Zhili Ferry, so you need someone familiar with you to confirm, that is, several powerful people from the Taixu Dao Sect."

Chen Yi nodded upon hearing this, and he also stood up and said with a smile: "Then let's talk while we walk. I came to Taizhou Mountain unexpectedly, and I should abide by the rules."

Originally he thought he could conceal the fact for some time since he came to Taizhou Mountain through the deep sea passage, but now it seems that he had taken it for granted.

But everything has pros and cons.

The benefit is that it saves some trouble - after all, if he didn't go through the Beizhili ferry, he wouldn't have to worry about the ambush of the surviving powerful people of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, nor would he have to worry about the secret harassment of Lou Yushan and others from Wuliang Mountain who were driven here by him.

As for the disadvantages,
He concealed the truth for too short a time, only about three to five days. Even if the time for identity verification is included, it would only be ten days before the news of his appearance on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield would spread to the Tianyuan Continent.

At that time, people who should know, people who shouldn’t know, and demons will all know.

"Senior, please come this way."

As he spoke, Gu Zhuo took the lead and led the way.

Yin Shunan followed closely behind, only Ji Binglan lagged behind Chen Yi a little bit, and asked eagerly:
"Senior, if there is anything else you want to know, I will tell you everything I know."

"..."

Chen Yi laughed dumbly, followed them, and asked casually: "You don't know the city guarded by Taixu Dao Sect, but have you heard of Wuliang Mountain or Yuhua Xianmen? Do you know the places guarded by their disciples?"

"Wuliang Mountain? This name sounds so familiar..." Ji Binglan was stunned for a moment.

Yin Shunan, who was standing in front of him, heard the conversation behind him and replied without turning his head:
"Senior, one of the guards currently stationed in Baidi City is from Wuliang Mountain."

"Oh? Who is it?" Chen Yi asked with interest.

"Master Lou Yuchun."

"Yes, yes, yes," Ji Binglan reacted and said quickly, "If you are acquainted with General Yuchun, then the time for your identity verification can be shortened."

"..."

Chen Yi subconsciously grasped the hilt of the Spring Rain Sword, "It should be familiar... I guess."

If he had previously used his sword to force Wuliang Mountain to close for a hundred years, it would count.

PS: It’s a new January, and I’m begging for a guaranteed monthly ticket, please, please.
