Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 434 You're the Kind of Person Who Goes to Be in Textbooks

The room was brightly lit, but the goddess Li's singing was blocked outside the window.

The junior sister rested her chin on her hand, watching Lily devour her food, and sulked.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

"Grunt, grunt"

Lily hugged the little basin full of fluff and slurped up the sea cucumbers in it like she was drinking noodles. After licking the bottom of the basin clean, she tapped it to indicate that she wanted another bowl.

Zhang Ze sighed, poured a pot of pig's feet into a large rice bucket, mixed it together, and handed it to Lily.

"Thank you, give me the sweet water." Lily dropped the little bowl and buried her head in the rice bowl again.

Lily looked somewhat embarrassed at this moment; her once-proud twin tails were now only half intact, the other half somehow having been cut off.

He was filthy from head to toe, as if he had been buried alive for three days.

Her clothes were torn in several places, revealing the glittering gold armor underneath, which accentuated her figure, making her appear even more refined.

Judging from his overall demeanor, he has a kind of beggar punk vibe.

"What happened to you? Were you kidnapped?" Zhang Ze asked after placing the peach juice next to Lily.

"Wait until I finish eating. Boss, let me tell you, I almost didn't make it back."

Lily used her chopsticks to shovel the car's mouth, and with a series of swift movements, she devoured half a bowl of braised pork trotters in no time.

Zhang Ze and his junior sister exchanged a glance and shook their heads, completely baffled by Lily's behavior.

Lily's appearance was actually quite sudden.

Strictly speaking, she didn't come back on her own; she was 'summoned' back by Zhang Ze.

When Lily's voice came from the ground, the junior sister immediately scanned her surroundings but could not sense any trace of Lily.

It doesn't have the Lily vibe, the Fuji vibe, or the Mao Mao and Sunshine dog vibe.

It wasn't until Zhang Ze asked, "Lily, where are you?" that Lily's presence emerged from the surrounding nothingness like squeezing jam.

However, Lily did not sprout from the ground. Instead, a moment later, she crawled out of the dry well in the corner of the yard, which was purely for decoration.

Disheveled and covered in dirt, he looked like a poor version of Sadako.

That led to the current scene of this gluttonous person.

After finishing her meal, Lily deftly pulled out a [One-Click Self-Cleaning Talisman] from a drawer in the table and slapped it on her forehead.

With a flash of golden light, Lily returned to a state of near-newness, except for the fact that half of her twin tails were gone.

Rubbing her stomach and sipping her tea, Lily leaned back in her chair and began to speak.

"Boss, let me tell you, I went to heaven too! Hiccup!"

Lily pointed one finger to the sky.

The saying goes, "A father should be bold." Although Lily may seem timid, she is actually incredibly brave in some things.

After learning about the Heavenly Barrier and the outer heavens from Zhang Ze, Lily couldn't resist the urge to go and see for herself.

So, instead of returning with her junior sister, she secretly transformed into an ace pilot, preparing to take a flight herself to see what was outside that day.

"I went up in a flying boat. Everything was fine at first, until I reached the end of the sky, when my flying boat malfunctioned."

Lily sipped her tea to cleanse her palate, and exclaimed loudly.

"Malfunction? There's no spiritual energy near the sky canopy?" the junior sister asked curiously.

Her interest was now drawn to Lily's story, and the idea of ​​playing a game with Zhang Ze was temporarily put on hold.

"No, the spiritual energy near the sky is abundant, even excessively so."

Lily put the teacup on the table and stirred it with a toothpick.

"The reason why the flying boat and magical artifact went out of control is because there is a 'whirlpool' over there."

Lily stirred the tea with a cool and elegant air, trying to use her spiritual energy to control the water, recreating the scene and showcasing her masterful demeanor.

Then, she accidentally spilled the tea all over the table.

"Cough, I didn't mean to. I'll wipe it in a bit, you guys look at this first."

Lily quickly took out the two small boxes.

The two small boxes, one large and one small, were entirely black, with a metal sign on one of their corners, the engraved text of which had become blurred.

As if it had been burned, it reflected distorted rainbow colors.

The box itself was covered with dark red cracks, and under the light, the color was distorted like a rainbow with diarrhea.

"These two black boxes, the larger one was taken from the spaceship I was on when I went into space."

"The smaller one was taken from the crashed spaceship from the Dongdong Express project."

Dongdong Express, a project of Qianjige that has been temporarily shelved.

The goal of this project is to use fully automated airships as a mode of transportation to travel through the Central Continent and open up the shortest east-west air route.

Qianji Pavilion will then use this air route to sell its products to the Western Barbarians.

However, the idea was good, but its implementation was not smooth. In addition to the danger in the Central Plains, there was also some resistance from the Western Barbarians.

Because some of the wealth of the Western Barbarian tribes comes from acting as middlemen.

They sent people to purchase the new kind of human flesh from Qianji Pavilion and carried it to the west, where it was then sold at a high price.

Lily's direct-from-factory sales method has clearly taken a bite out of those people's profits.

Many unmanned airships are of uncertain origin, whether they crashed in Central Continent or were secretly shot down.

So the matter was eventually dropped.

Zhang Ze remembered this incident. He took the two small black boxes and examined them for a long time.

The black box in his hand had lost all its functions and was now just a strangely shaped stone.

“I don’t know about other things, but this black box was definitely dropped in Central Continent, it wasn’t caused by human intervention,” Lily said, pointing to the small box.

Zhang Ze: "So, you mean the environment near the Sky Curtain is similar to that of Zhongzhou?"

Lily: "Hmm, it's similar, but there are no calamities there, and no strange spells suddenly appear. There are only all sorts of 'vortexes'."

Zhang Ze was genuinely unaware of this matter. When he entered and exited the Heavenly Curtain and crossed the Heavenly Barrier, he was in a state of innate Dao Body and his perception of external changes was not obvious.

"Wait a minute, Lily, do you remember what happened when you got close to the sky?"

The junior sister discovered the blind spot.

"I remember, what's wrong?" Lily asked, puzzled.

"That shouldn't be the case," Zhang Ze muttered to himself.

After Zhang Ze sensed the matter of the Heavenly Barrier from Elder Li, the old man now goes there at least three times a day, trying various methods to break through it.

But no matter what method he tries, he always comes back looking completely bewildered.

Lily's cultivation level was not even a hair's breadth below that of Sect Master Li, and her Dao heart was not as firm as that of Sect Master Li.

But she was able to get close to the sky, and when she returned, she remembered exactly what had happened.

There's something wrong with this no matter how you look at it.

Lily shook her head again, "I don't know, don't interrupt, let me continue."

"I don't know what I was thinking at the time, but I figured since I was already here, I might as well take it a step further."

"Since the airship was already half-crippled, after removing the black box, I set it on fire and blew up the airship's bomb bay."

"A bomb bay?" Zhang Ze. "You installed that on your spaceship?"

“Yeah, isn’t it normal for airships to have bomb bays?” Lily waved her hand again, indicating that Zhang Ze shouldn’t interrupt.

"In short, just like you, I crossed the celestial barrier using the thrust generated by the explosion."

Zhang Ze: "And then?"

"And then I almost died."

Lily's excited expression suddenly fell.

Recalling the scene, Lily still felt a lingering fear.

The instant she crossed the celestial barrier, she felt a chilling sensation as if her soul was about to be frozen, as if a thousand hands were caressing her soul.

As the chill intensified, she began to lose herself, to forget everything about herself.

It was as if I had never existed...

"The situation was extremely dangerous at the time; no magical artifacts were of any use."

Shivering, Lily continued, "Luckily I'm not human, or I would have really died there."

not human?
It took Zhang Ze a moment to realize that Lily, like himself, had a complex composition. Lily was half-human and half-egg, formed entirely from the yolk that had been accidentally discarded.

Therefore, they possess certain special abilities that are not particularly useful but are actually quite useful.

For example, the ability to clean dust from delicate parts held in one's hands by vibrating oneself...

It entertains itself at night by glowing and attracting mosquitoes and moths.

But clearly, this ability couldn't save Lily.

"Star God Teleportation, I learned it from Tongtong and the others a while ago. It's my ultimate, invincible escape technique. I used Tongtong's location to teleport myself back to the Four Continents."

Lily proudly stated that she had always been exceptionally gifted when learning the art of survival.

"Then how did you end up in the well?" Zhang Ze asked, puzzled.

If it were teleportation, shouldn't it have been like him, just standing directly on the ground? How did it climb out of the well?
"The Star God teleportation goes through the Earth Sea. I'm not familiar with it, so I got stuck in the shallows. That's why I called you, boss, to pull me out."

"We came out from a rather secluded spot, right inside a well," Lily said with a smile.

The disappearance of Lily's ponytail and her disheveled appearance were all things she had brought upon herself.

After figuring out what had happened, Zhang Ze stared at Lily in silence for a long time before finally speaking.

"I think Lily, you're going to go down in history. If Qianji Elementary School, Middle School and University don't go out of business, your name will be in several textbooks."

Lily, "Me?"

Zhang Ze: "That's right, you'll definitely be in the history books, and you'll probably be a must-test topic."

"For example, ask who the second righteous cultivator who crossed the Heavenly Barrier was?"
"First, Xiao Jing."

"Second, Chen Qianhu, the sect leader of the Sword Sect."

"Third, Zhang Ze."

Fourth, Liu Lili.

Lily: "…"

While Lily was lost in thought, Zhang Ze took out the small walnut and glanced at the newly created group chat.

[How to Go to Heaven Discussion Group]

Everyone inside, except him, was a big shot; even the giant tortoise Zhu Luo was pulled in.

As the lowest-ranking member in the group with the worst cultivation level, he has been lurking and not daring to speak for the past few days.

In addition to Master Li's daily reflections on failed attempts to ascend to heaven, there was another useful piece of information in the group today.

[Lu Yuzhou: The existence of the Heavenly Barrier is very likely related to cultivation level and spiritual energy.]

Next came Mr. Guo's star chart and some of her conjectures.

As Zhang Ze looked at the message, he gently patted his junior sister's thigh with his free hand, and a conjecture gradually took shape.

Zhang Ze continued, "Not only in history books, but I think your name will also appear in Taoist books."

"Question: What is the range of fluctuation values ​​of Lily's constant when crossing the celestial barrier?"

Lily, "?"

As he spoke, Zhang Ze gently stroked the table, and a piece of white paper appeared. He drew a line on it with his finger instead of a pen.

The straight line is divided into nine segments, from ordinary people to Mahayana practitioners, based on their level of spiritual cultivation.

In the middle of the Golden Core section, Zhang Ze drew a golden cockroach head, representing Lily.

Although it was just speculation, Zhang Ze felt that the strength of the influence of the Heavenly Barrier on people should be related to the cultivator's cultivation level.

Those whose cultivation level exceeds a certain threshold will be sent back near the Heavenly Curtain. Conversely, those whose cultivation level falls below a certain threshold will be able to glimpse the truth.

And this benchmark might be located near Lily.

Simply put, usually only those who are more naive than Lily have the right to look up at the sky...

However, organizing a hundred Lilies, or a hundred mortal squads, to explore outer space using technology without magical artifacts is unrealistic.

First of all, there are some things that can't be made. Zhang Ze has tried to replicate some gadgets from his memory, such as circuits.

Unfortunately, at Sizhou, the electricity between the copper wire he twisted and the switch did not exist in the form of direct current or alternating current.

It is because of the spiritual energy that it appears as snowflakes.

Without magical intervention, it is simply impossible to prevent someone from being electrocuted.

Once spells and formations are added, these things become magical artifacts with a thousand functions...

Once transformed into a magical artifact, it will again be affected by celestial obstacles...

Playing for free.

Secondly, as Lily said, she encountered danger in outer space.

Therefore, even if you use a powerful brick to send a unit of Lily to the vicinity of the sky, it is still possible.

Then, it's pointless for this unit of Lily to accelerate a second time through an explosion and cross the sky.

Because the soul will be instantly obliterated and frozen by the void beyond the heavens...

Things seem to have become a bit of a double bind.

Those who can resist extraterrestrial dangers to a certain extent are inseparable from the influence of celestial barriers.

Those who can cross the heavenly barrier, without some extraordinary skill, will die as soon as they leave...

Thinking this, Zhang Ze added the words "Divine Soul" next to "Cultivation Level" and "Spiritual Energy".

Finally, he added one more phrase to the paper: "Innate Dao Body".

He felt that this thing was likely the key to crossing the heavenly barrier.

Zhang Ze scratched his head, thinking to himself that he seemed to be busy again recently.

"Lily... Lily, what are you doing?" Zhang Ze was about to assign some tasks when he saw Lily striking a pose.

She stood by the window, a chopstick between her fingers, looking every bit the wise man who is always mad.

"I am deep in thought, pondering my own famous quote. I need to come up with a difficult one, one that is difficult to understand from both ends, more than eight thousand words long, and doesn't even sound like human language."

"In this way, when I become a must-test point, those students will remember me forever, and will always be eager to learn from me, but unable to get it."

"Ha... I am truly a sinful woman, hehehe..."

However, after Lily's eerie cacophony of laughter lasted only a moment, another yellow flash burst through the door and rushed in.

After running around all day, Mao Mao smelled Lily's scent and happily ran over to welcome its owner home.

It had only circled Lily twice when it stopped, its face drooping. A moment later, it crawled under the table and pulled out its food bowl with an incredulous look on its face.

Mao Mao's gaze shifted uncertainly between Lily and the food bowl. Finally, it barked angrily and used its iron head technique to stab Lily in the waist.

The chances of a person being killed by a dog are very small, but not impossible.

Before Zhang Ze could speak, Lily was chased by Mao Mao and ran out, squealing and yelling...

It seems we'll have to deal with this tomorrow.

Zhang Ze, "..."

After all the bystanders left, Zhang Ze got up, closed the door, and tidied up the table. He then turned to look at his junior sister.

"By the way, you just said you wanted to see my innate Dao body?"

Upon hearing this, the junior sister blushed and glanced out the window, saying, "Isn't that a bad idea? It's almost dawn."

Zhang Ze said, "It doesn't matter if it's daylight or not. You can't do this kind of thing anytime or anywhere."

The junior sister blushed and said, "Well...that's not a good idea. Let's go back to the room, let's go back to the room."

Zhang Ze: "Why go back inside? We're right here."

Junior sister, "Ah...this...this is too..."

Zhang Ze said, "Come on, what's there to be shy about? It's not like we haven't seen this before."

……

Three breaths later, the junior sister looked at Zhang Ze with a cold face.

"That's it?"

Zhang Ze looked at his junior sister with a puzzled expression, then shook his little finger, which had turned to stone.

He had just meticulously demonstrated the process of transforming one's innate Dao body to his junior sister, and wanted to ask her what she had learned.

Zhang Ze: "Otherwise what? What else do you want to see?"

"Heh." The junior sister snorted coldly, then turned and went into the inner room, locking the door behind her.
