In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

After resolving the issue of the Soul-Shocking Bell, Zhang Taichu didn't cause any further trouble. He directly borrowed a sect's domain gate and arrived in the Northern Region, which he had longed for.

Moreover, he went directly to the most famous holy city in the Northern Region, which is also the center of the Northern Region, and spent a lot of money to book a superior room in a luxury inn, paying half a year's room fee in one go, and spending thousands of catties of pure source.

The consumption was quite high. You should know that even the sect leader might not be able to come up with a thousand catties of source material for a place like Dongxu Cave Heaven. But Zhang Taichu just spent it as rent.

However, having a lot of money has its advantages. This room is well-decorated, spacious, and most importantly, protected by several array formations.

"Please rest assured, sir. The defensive array in this room is extremely strong. Even a powerful Saint Lord would not be able to break through it."

The waiter explained things enthusiastically, but Zhang Taichu remained skeptical.

Although the powerful characters in the second game of Chinese Paladin were no longer even considered passersby in the later stages, they were the true ceiling of combat power in the early stages.

The Peacock King, the Crimson Dragon Taoist, the Crow Taoist, and the Holy Lords of the various Holy Lands are all at the second level of the Immortal Realm.

To be honest, Zhang Taichu didn't believe that a single guest room could keep out such a person.

However, after observing for a while, he found that although it could not stop a second-level immortal, or even a half-step immortal, it would be difficult for those below the platform to break through the formation in a short time.

That's enough. Zhang Taichu plans to spend half a year completing the cultivation of the entire Wheel Sea Realm, and then seek the Great Emperor's Scripture.

After all, he was no longer willing to live a life of mere passerby, so he put his plan to cultivate the Great Emperor's Scriptures on the agenda.

Not everyone is like Zhang Wenchang and Li Ruoyu, who can become an emperor simply by cultivating saint-level scriptures and waiting for the right time.

To reach higher realms, more people need to cultivate stronger scriptures, and in the human realm, the Great Emperor Scripture is the strongest scripture that cultivators can access.

As for the scriptures that the Immortal of the Mortal World cultivates, let's talk about that after you become an emperor.

After paying for the room, Zhang Taichu officially moved in. He then took out the Pure Source and began his extravagant, pay-to-win cultivation, a treatment even better than that of the holy sons and daughters of many holy lands.

After all, even the Holy Son and Holy Daughter couldn't possibly receive a million catties of pure source material all at once.

As for why Zhang Taichu didn't directly seek refuge with Yaochi, it's because Zhang Taichu is an adult, and adults never consider issues from the perspective of emotions, but rather from the perspective of interests.

In addition, his identity as a time traveler gave Zhang Taichu a certain understanding of the major forces in the Big Dipper.

The Ji family, the Jiang family, the Yao Guang family, the major dynasties of Zhongzhou, the various schools of thought, and even the Buddhist sects of the Western Desert are not pure lands.

Not to mention the royal family of Beiyuan and the demon clan of Nanling, it can be said that none of these forces are purely righteous.

There isn't a single sect in those martial arts novels that would go to any lengths to stand up for others in order to uphold justice.

Many of these forces are traitors; when the ancient races emerge in the future, many will defect to them, commonly known as human traitors.

Yaochi is considered relatively fair among the many holy sites, but that's only in comparison.

Yaochi's motto is to remain aloof from worldly affairs and not take sides. All major powers give Yaochi face, and it can even communicate with the ancient clans.

However, it was precisely this kind of behavior that prevented Zhang Taichu from being completely at ease, worrying that Yaochi might compromise with other forces under pressure and hand him over.

Ultimately, Yaochi lacks the stubbornness and fighting spirit unique to cultivators of the Big Dipper.

This can be seen from the Dark Turmoil. During the Dark Turmoil, the Ji family and the Jiang family suffered the most among the Holy Land forces. It was precisely because of this that these two families were completely redeemed. You should know that in the early stages, they were more like villains.

Especially Ji Hui and Ji Laoba, who are targeting Ye Fan at every turn, are definitely playing the villains.

The Jiang family is even more out of the question; they started hunting down Ye Fan even earlier than the Ji family, after all, the infamous Toilet Emperor Jiang Yichen is from their family.

The reason why the Jiang family changed their opinion of Ye Fan later was entirely because of the God King Jiang Taixu.

But no matter what, when the Yellow Emperor and the Flame Emperor, after their corpses were imbued with spirits, jumped out and fought against the Dark Supreme together, these two families were completely exonerated.

Yaochi, on the other hand, did not have any particularly outstanding performance in this battle.

The Great Emperor Wushi and his father are not considered members of the current Yaochi. Without Ye Fan, they wouldn't even have had the chance to participate in the war.

The only instance where Yaochi took the initiative was the Western Emperor Tower. However, even the Western Emperor Tower was only a passive attack. If the Dark Sovereigns hadn't started absorbing the energy of the Imperial Weapons, threatening all the Imperial Weapons, the Western Emperor Tower probably wouldn't have come out.

The Holy Spirits in Yaochi were already close to maturity, and it wouldn't have been impossible to force their way through, but they chickened out at the crucial moment.

This is probably why Ye Fan didn't take the people of Yaochi with him to ascend to heaven in the finale, causing the Holy Maiden of Yaochi to be ashamed to enter the Heavenly Court. In the end, this great genius could only grow old and die in the Big Dipper, which is a great pity.

In view of this, Zhang Taichu had some reservations about Yaochi, but given the current situation, joining Yaochi was his best option. Therefore, Zhang Taichu decided to improve himself first.

Once I have enough strength to sit down and negotiate with Yaochi, then I will make contact with them.

Going now would be tantamount to selling oneself, completely handing over the initiative to the other party. This is absolutely not something an adult should do, and at least Zhang Taichu, with his experience of two lifetimes, would never do it.

Just as Zhang Taichu was hiding in the Holy City and began to focus on improving his cultivation, many holy sons and daughters from sects and holy lands also came to the Holy City. Needless to say, their purpose was to win over Zhang Taichu.

Although they all thought Zhang Taichu was most likely to join Yaochi, it would be beneficial to get acquainted with him and make his acquaintance.

This includes Li Youyou from the Xiaoyao Sect.

Stepping through the gates of the Holy City, Li Youyou sighed softly, recalling the words the sect leader had spoken to her before her departure.

"Youyou, your mission this time is very important. You must resolve the misunderstanding between us and Zhang Taichu."

"Master, is this really necessary? We didn't really offend them that much, did we?"

Li Youyou felt that the sect leader was making a mountain out of a molehill. They were simply abiding by their agreement with the Yuanshu families and strictly checking those who entered the domain gate. It just so happened that Zhang Taichu chose their domain gate, which resulted in a small conflict.

"Our people didn't even manage to harm Zhang Taichu back then; he even destroyed one of our major formations. Strictly speaking, wasn't he the one who offended us?"

"Hmph, at a time like this, stop trying to argue. We sided with the Source Arts Clan back then, which put us at odds with Zhang Taichu. Now that the Source Arts Clan has lost, are we going to join them in offending them to death?"

"In short, when you go back to the Northern Holy City, no matter what method you use, you must resolve the conflict between our Free and Unfettered Sect and Zhang Taichu. If you fail, don't come back!"

After recalling the previous conversation, Li Youyou sighed again, preparing to sacrifice her looks if all else failed.
