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

Chapter 341 Clues! (asking for monthly tickets)
After coming out of the "Xunwang Order", Chen Yi calmed his mind and consolidated his newly-breakthrough cultivation.

After reaching the heavenly realm, he could feel some unpredictable changes in his body compared to before.

In addition to the intuitive improvements in his mental perception, sword intent, and divine power, his physical body seemed to have changed as well.

It wasn't obvious at first.

But after observing his body carefully, he found that the sword intent that was now running in his body according to the "Nine Transformations of the Profound Gang Art" was no longer a passive, partial enhancement of the physical body after fusing with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but was equally divided.

——Equally improve the physical body and sword intent!
So much so that, after only half a day, Chen Yi clearly felt that his physical strength had increased slightly.

To put it more bluntly, at this moment he can be compared to a martial arts practitioner at the third level of Tianhe realm with just his physical strength.

"The Heaven Realm is truly extraordinary."

Chen Yi couldn't help but recall what his master Li Qingzhou had taught him:

The realm of emptiness is the limit of human power. The so-called "emptiness" does not mean weakness, but illusion. It means "if you can't break through the realm of emptiness, you are just an ant."

Even if one has cultivated the skills to the level of supernatural powers, there is a limit to one's lifespan before one reaches the level of heaven and man, which is three to five hundred years.

Once one's cultivation is elevated to the Heavenly Man Realm, an ordinary cultivator will have a lifespan of eight hundred years, while powerful ones like the Old Ancestor of Gushan, the Grandmaster Xuanjian, and the Taoist Priest Huangshan can live for a thousand years.

"I see."

Chen Yi sensed it silently, then let the sword intent in his body flow slowly and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He thought for a moment and thought to himself, "This means I won't be able to receive my cultivation for the time being."

In the previous "Xunwangtian" ceremony, Taoist Master Zhao Muzi had mentioned that the secret realm that opened once every thousand years had restrictions on cultivation and skills - cultivators who exceeded the fifth level of supernatural powers could only stay on the periphery.

If a cultivator who exceeds this level goes deep into the secret realm, his life will be in danger.

Even Zhao Muzi, who has reached the tenth level of supernatural powers, has to be cautious, so Chen Yi doesn't think he is that special.

At this moment, he sensed Lou Yuchun and others waiting outside the room, so he calmed himself down, stood up and walked to the door.

"Master Yuchun, please come in and talk."

Squeak.

Lou Yuchun walked in with a big smile on his face, and congratulated him with a bow: "Congratulations, fellow Taoist, on your further improvement in cultivation!"

Chen Yi smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand a little bit."

"You can't break through the Heavenly Man Realm just by understanding it." Lou Yuchun continued to flatter:
“Although there have been only a few geniuses who have reached the third level in the past thousand years and have come to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, only one or two of them can break through to the Heavenly Man Realm.”

"If the accumulation is not enough, even with the blessing of the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge', you will still struggle in the Void Realm."

At the end, Lou Yuchun felt inexplicably emotional.

Sometimes the gap between people is as big as a chasm, one is in the sky and the other is underground.

Think of him, Lou Yuchun, the headmaster of Wuliang Mountain Fuhaidao, the son of the former Wuliang Mountain patriarch. He has been extremely talented since childhood, and has practiced the most advanced skills and techniques. He has all kinds of elixirs, natural treasures, and natural treasures.

But it still took him fifty years to break through to the Heavenly Man Realm.

His elder brother Lou Yushan took forty-eight years.

Even so, he and his brother were both rare geniuses in Wuliang Mountain in the past hundred years, and they successively took over the positions of the headmasters of Wuliang Mountain's Fantian Dao and Fuhai Dao.

However, with his level of cultivation, he was not even qualified to compete with Chen Yi, which made him sigh.

"Master Yuchun, there is no need to say polite words," Chen Yi sat down in front of the desk and raised his hand to signal him to sit down, "but have the ancestors responded?"

Lou Yuchun sat opposite him, gathered her skirt around her waist, and nodded with a smile:

"Exactly."

"After I reported this to Patriarch Hong Tian who was stationed in Renjijian City, I have received his reply."

"But have you made arrangements for me to go to Youdu City?" Chen Yi asked with a smile.

"There are some deviations." Lou Yuchun smiled more brilliantly, and said with a cupped hand: "The ancestor sent a message, hoping that fellow Taoist will go to Renjijian City first. The old man wants to see you."

"Oh?" Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, "To see me?"

Unexpected, yet reasonable.

After all, he had done several great things in Tianyuan Continent, and his reputation far exceeded his talent and cultivation. It was reasonable for the old ancestor to want to see whether he lived up to the reputation.

However, Chen Yi did not have much good feelings towards these ancestors, and they were not familiar with each other. After just listening to a few words from Li Qingzhou, he really had no intention of going.

But it seems impossible not to go - nowadays, several fortresses of the human race are controlled by several ancestors. They have the final say on strategies against the Demon Court, as well as the places for cultivation in the fortress and the citadel.

Except that they did not have the dragon vein blessing like Emperor Wei, their ancestors were almost equivalent to the emperor on the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain.

Seeing Chen Yi pondering, Lou Yuchun paused for a moment, and while lamenting his youthful arrogance and ignorance, he asked:
"Do you have any concerns, fellow Daoist?"

Chen Yi looked at him and shook his head gently: "It's not that I'm worried, it's just that the styles of the ancestors are different from mine. I'm wondering what attitude I should use to face him."

On the Tianyuan Continent, except for his youth, ever since he came down the mountain, he had always treated everyone he faced as an equal, whether it was Emperor Wei or the mighty ones from the Holy Land.

Now he is still a little uncomfortable doing this in front of those ancestors.

Lou Yuchun understood his thoughts and laughed, and consoled him: "Don't worry, Daoist friend, when we met privately, the ancestors were very gentle and generous."

Chen Yi heard this and asked with a smile: "What if it's not in private?"

Lou Yuchun paused and replied, "It depends on the occasion and situation."

"During the meeting, the ancestors had different personalities. Hong Tian was rough and rude, and he didn't tolerate any injustice. Bai Shan was cold and aloof, like a fairy, and he rarely asked about things outside the Demon Court. Qi Yuan was free and easy, and he was very much like an ancient Confucian saint. As for the other three ancestors, I haven't met them either."

"But when the battle was about to begin, the elders were extremely strict and clearly defined rewards and punishments for everyone."

Chen Yi pondered and said, "Is Patriarch Hong Tian a physical cultivator?"

Lou Yuchun was slightly surprised, "Daoyou knew him before? Patriarch Hongtian is indeed a physical cultivator, and his physical body is so strong that he can fight with Demon Court Emperor Tian in close combat."

Chen Yi understood, and he no longer had any thoughts about rushing to Youdu. He nodded and said:

"In that case, I will go to Renjijian City first."

It just so happened that he could talk to Patriarch Hong Tian about the human spy Bai Yuanguang. He thought that a physical cultivation ancestor should not have any connection with that person.

After all, in his impression, practitioners of boxing and physical training are always tough, brave, courageous and straightforward, and they dislike conspiracies and intrigues.

Different from the flexible and changeable sword techniques and the bold and aggressive sword techniques, if they want to improve their boxing and physical training, they must possess this kind of mentality, otherwise their own techniques will hardly improve.

"When can I leave?"

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I will send someone to deliver your identity token later so that you can move freely in the inner city." Chen Yi nodded, thanked him, and did not let him stay for long.

After arriving at Taizhou Mountain, he had a general understanding of the place. Unless necessary, the powerful men and soldiers stationed in the fortified city and the citadel were not allowed to go out. Even if they went out, records had to be kept in the general's mansion of each city.

Think for a moment.

Chen Yi's mind senses suddenly expanded, and he found a room in the northern corner of Baidi City, and transmitted a message to Gu Zhuo inside:

"Have you found anything?"

At this moment, Gu Zhuo, Ji Binglan and Yin Shunan were looking through several volumes of records of leaving the city. However, due to time constraints and the fact that they could only review the case files of Baidi City, their progress was not fast.

After hearing the voice in his ear, Gu Zhuo signaled his fellow apprentices to be quiet, looked around vigilantly, and spoke in a low voice:
"senior?"

"It's me," Chen Yi thought, and a circle of killing sword intent rose outside the room, protecting the three people inside, and said:
"Don't worry, I've checked the area within a thousand miles, and no one is paying attention to you."

Gu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, silently signaled to Ji Binglan and Yin Shunan that the seniors were here, and then continued:

"We have just started investigating and haven't made much progress. We have only found two records that can match that tiger demon."

"tell me the story."

"There was nothing unusual in the record five years ago, but we remembered that the Demon Court was attacking Renjijian City during that period. Our Baidi City did not suffer too many setbacks, and only a few hundred scouts died."

"But three years ago, when the Blackwood City garrison commander died, a White Emperor City garrison commander led his troops to provide support, but was attacked and blocked by demons."

"That attack was very sudden, and they were walking on the inner city road. It was unlikely that they would encounter demons that jumped over the city wall to attack them, but that was the fact. Now I think it must have something to do with that person."

Chen Yi thought about it and felt that this guess was not unreasonable.

Between the two fortified cities of Renji and Diyan, there is an acropolis every thousand miles, and there are tall city walls in the middle for protection. There are soldiers guarding on them and formations for monitoring, so the defense is very strict.

Under normal circumstances, those monsters would be discovered in advance by the scouts even if they approached the defense line for thousands of miles, let alone cross the high walls, let alone accurately intercept the reinforcements from Baidi City that were supporting Heimu City.

If they had not received the news in advance, this kind of ambush would have been impossible - unless the great demon in the Demon Court had opened his third eye or had the ability to predict the future.

With this thought in mind, Chen Yi continued to ask: "What else?"

Gu Zhuo glanced at Ji Binglan, whose eyes were rolling around, and said, "You discovered it, so you should tell the senior."

Ji Binglan nodded vigorously and said quickly:

"According to what the tiger demon said, in August two years ago, not long after that person appeared in the demon village, the Black Water and Black Wind cities near Ren Ji Jian City were attacked by demons, causing heavy casualties."

"But I found two suspicious records of people entering the city during that period. One of them was a flag bearer from the Strongest City..."

"Who is this flag-bearing soldier?" Chen Yi interrupted.

He did not have a detailed understanding of the soldiers in the fort. He only knew about the duties of scouts and garrisons, and had never heard of flag bearers.

Ji Binglan explained: "The flag bearers are responsible for delivering orders to the soldiers in battle in a coded form. Normally they stay in the city and are responsible for delivering orders in emergencies."

"And in order to prevent the demons from seeing through them, the code of their flag orders will change every once in a while."

"Go on, what happened to the flag-bearing soldier?" Chen Yi asked clearly.

Ji Binglan said: "After entering the city, he did not go to the general's mansion, but went directly to the city gate tower. I suspect that he might be a human cultivator sent by the spy or controlled by the Demon Court."

"All soldiers guarding the fortified city are aware of the special nature of the flag bearers. Even when they are on duty, they will not stray too far from their posts. However, it is very suspicious that he came from Renjijian City to Baidi City."

Having said this, Ji Binglan paused for a moment, and seeing that Chen Yi did not speak, she continued:
"Another record is that after the flag bearer left, there was a person who entered the city from the inner city official road. However, he was found dead seven days later. According to the records in the case file, he died due to a demonic attack and his body exploded."

"But I think this man is also very suspicious. There is only a record of him entering the city. There is no record of what he did during the time or where he went. It is obvious that he is not hiding in the general's mansion or other garrisons, but somewhere else."

After Ji Binglan finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "Senior, this is all I found."

Chen Yi thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "You did a good job. Just continue according to these two clues."

"But I have to remind you that I will leave for Renjijian City to meet with Patriarch Hongtian later. Perhaps I will reveal this matter to him. I will inform you of the specific situation after I meet him."

"Then you can stop investigating and pretend you don't know anything."

Gu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and after exchanging glances with Ji Binglan and Yin Shunan, he asked, "Senior, don't you want us to continue investigating?"

Chen Yi did not deny it and said bluntly: "Based on the situation you have investigated so far, it is not difficult to see that the man has been hiding in Ren Ji Jian City for quite some time, and he has helpers who are loyal to him."

"Once what you've done is discovered by someone with ulterior motives, even I won't be able to rescue you in time, so I suggest you finish your work after investigating the details of those two people, and leave the rest to me."

Before Gu Zhuo could speak, Ji Binglan said loudly: "Senior, we are not afraid! As long as we can find out the details of those human scums, I will not hesitate even if I die!"

Yin Shunan gave her a strange look, then said, "Senior, me too."

Seeing this, Gu Zhuo secretly shook his head and said, "Senior, as soldiers guarding Baidi City, we have already put life and death aside."

"You don't have to worry about us getting into danger. As long as we are capable, we are willing to do our best!"

Hear the words.

Chen Yi laughed in silence, and after thinking for a while, he took out three small wooden swords from his Sumeru bag and sent them in front of them with a thought.

"In that case, I won't persuade you any further. You can accept these three sword intentions. If you encounter danger, just crush them. Even if I can't come in time, I will ask those nearby to rush to rescue you."

Gu Zhuo took it hesitantly, and bowed with Ji Binglan and Yin Shunan: "Thank you, senior. We will definitely find that person's whereabouts!"

"Do your best."

Chen Yi gave them a few words of comfort and encouragement, then let them continue their investigation.

Ji Binglan held the small wooden sword eagerly, looked at it over and over for a long time, and said happily:
"Brother, is this the magical power, technique, and divine will of a powerful person? Can it be given away so casually? Previously, Master treasured it so much that only those who had made great contributions to the sect could obtain it."

Yin Shunan shook his head and said, "It's different. From what I've observed, that senior's cultivation may be higher than Master's."

"what?"

"Don't be so surprised. This is also true from my observation."

Gu Zhuo put away the small wooden sword, clapped his hands and said, "Keep going. If you don't find any clues, your kindness will be in vain."

"Okay, Brother, I'll be right there!"

the other side.

Chen Yi was just about to take a rest and wait for Lou Yuchun when he suddenly noticed something unusual happening in his Sumeru bag. After checking, he found that it was the "Xunwang Order".

"Huh? Xun Wangtian's people are looking for me?"
