Moreover, it is enveloped in a thick layer of spiritual energy and a faint barrier, making it impossible for even some powerful cultivators to ascend.

But who is Lin Yaoxie? He's the biggest villain in the story, with the help of the Dark System, so getting to the top would be quite easy for him.

However, the mountain was indeed quite high, and he used his lightness skill, losing half of it. His internal energy was also insufficient, and he was so weak that he almost fell.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Eye System assistant intervened at the crucial moment, exchanging an item for him: the Flying Claw. This item had an extremely long range, allowing him to throw it from halfway up the mountain to the summit. And so, Lin Yaoxie climbed the mountain.

This place is not only the center of the entire city lord's mansion, but also the place where he once received foreign guests and practiced his cultivation.

Do cultivators need to rest? They only need to meditate and cultivate when they are low on energy, and they will be full of energy again afterward.

Therefore, Haicheng never went to his nominal bedroom, spending every day and night in the City Lord's Hall absorbing the power of wishes to further enhance his abilities.

Chapter Twenty-Five: On the Eve of the Wedding (Part Two)

Even though he was injured this time, he didn't go back to his bedroom; he could only receive better treatment here.

This place is filled with abundant spiritual energy and willpower, making healing here incredibly effective.

Lin Yaoxie used the teleportation ability of the Dark System Assistant to smoothly enter the barrier, and Haicheng did not notice any outsider intrusion.

He was in a deep recovery state at this time. Because of his belief in the barrier and the power of the will, he dared to enter a deep coma, but he would still wake up if there was any major disturbance.

Lin Yaoxie had assumed there would be many people guarding the city, but he hadn't expected Haicheng to be so arrogant. Apart from a young pageboy guarding the city lord's hall, there was no one else there.

04 However, it is also true that his own skill is the strongest in the entire Haicheng. He is the guardian of Haicheng, so naturally he does not need others to protect him.

However, it was precisely because of this that Haicheng was harmed.

Lin Yaoxie was naturally no match for this boy with quasi-saintly cultivation, and judging from the boy's appearance, he was not only a boy beside him, but also a protector.

He stood guard vigilantly outside the palace gate, more like a protector of Haicheng.

"So there was such a powerful figure guarding him here. No wonder he didn't deploy anyone. Is this what it means to be so confident when you're so strong?" Lin Yaoxie said.

The Dark System, thinking he was backing down, quickly said:

"Host, don't worry, I can take down this quasi-saint. Saints and above are beings I can't touch, but those below sainthood are just trash to me." Lin Yaoxie hadn't originally planned to fight head-on; he had a way to get in. But hearing his assistant say that put him at ease.

Why would he insist on taking action himself when he could have someone else do it?

"Alright, since you're being so attentive, you can go and kill him then," Lin Yaoxie said.

Dark System Assistant. Speechless. So this guy could already take it down himself, then why was he pretending he couldn't, making him worry for nothing?

Wait a minute, worried? Impossible, hmm. He's just worried that his future ambitions for dominance won't succeed.

Then the Dark System transformed into a current and flew out from Lin Yaoxie's fingertips. The boy sensed the abnormality, but before he could react, the current directly entered his mind.

The Dark System Assistant directly controlled his consciousness and manipulated him.

The boy nodded toward where Lin Yaoxie was, then turned and gently opened the palace door.

Seeing that the Dark System Assistant possessed such abilities, Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but feel that he wasn't entirely useless.

They had thought that as long as they drove away the child, they could easily enter the City Lord's Hall. However, they didn't expect that they would need a key to enter the City Lord's Hall.

At that moment, the boy took out a horseshoe-shaped jade pendant from his robes. The pendant shone with a dark green light, seemingly containing powerful spiritual energy.

In the center of the main gate of the city lord's hall was a horseshoe-shaped groove. The boy placed the jade pendant directly into the groove, and the pendant began to emit a strong light.

Then they heard the sound of the door opening.

Even more miraculously, when the door was opened, the surrounding wishes began to gather towards the jade pendant.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Transfer

It turns out that this key is not only the key to the main gate of the city lord's shop, but also a talisman for mobilizing the power of wishes in the city lord's hall.

In this sea city, besides those who are worshipped, only the person who possesses this jade pendant can mobilize the power of the sea city's wishes.

This boy usually used these jade pendants to distribute the power of wishes to those who patrolled the city. The soldiers allowed them to use the power of wishes from the sea city to hunt down enemies.

The power that trapped Lin Yaoxie at that time came from his hand.

Lin Yaoxie looked at the jade pendant that was almost glowing with light, feeling extremely envious.

Doesn't that mean that as long as he possesses this jade pendant, even if the original people's faith in the guardian is still Haicheng, he can mobilize all the power of the people here simply by having this jade pendant. In that case, he wouldn't need to go to great lengths to make the people here believe in him anymore.

“This is really a good thing,” Lin Yaoxie said.

He walked over and was about to pull the jade pendant off.

However, the child controlled by the system reached out and stopped him. At this moment, his expression was wooden, as if he were a wooden chicken, without his own consciousness, and his eyes were black without any spiritual energy. This was the consciousness of his original body, which was the reason why he could not control his own body.

"Tongzi" said with a very stiff face:

"We can't cancel it yet, otherwise the door will close immediately. Let's wait until we get out before taking it."

The person who said this is the system; it can even control the child's language.

Lin Yaoxie scoffed and then stopped trying to take it.

Then he and the child possessed by the system swaggered into the city lord's hall.

Lin Yaoxie found the structure of this place very mysterious. When Hai Linglan wanted to bring him to see Haicheng, he was afraid of the powerful will here and ultimately did not go in. Therefore, he still did not know what the City Lord's Hall looked like.

Now he could finally see clearly that the entire city lord's hall was empty, with almost no furnishings, except for a crystal-carved chair placed in the main guardroom.

The chair was suspended in the air, and the energy that held the chair was the power of will.

The city lord's hall is also very large, capable of accommodating over a thousand people.

"The so-called guardians of Haicheng are such spendthrifts," Lin Yaoxie said disdainfully.

“We don’t seem to see Haicheng anywhere,” the boy said.

He had already activated the system's scanning function, but he couldn't find Haicheng's location in the store, only the traces of his presence.

"Impossible. I asked Hai Linglan before, and he did indeed send Haicheng here and personally watched him go into seclusion," Lin Yaoxie said.

Black Rock's skill assistant silently mocked him in his heart, and then started a second scan. The second scan directly detects heat and energy, which is more detailed than the ordinary scan, but it also consumes energy.

"I've got it! It's here!"

The boy said the paper.

The research system assistant has located Haicheng's (Zhao Qianzhao) position; he is in a strange space behind them. He is suspended within it, receiving nourishment from willpower and spiritual energy.

"Good heavens! Their guard is so high, they even have a different dimension to cultivate in seclusion." Lin Yaoxie exclaimed.

The system assistant can transmit what it sees to its host, so it sees it too.

Haicheng hovered there, surrounded by golden willpower and green spiritual energy, which surged into his dantian.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hurry Up and Make Your Move

Lin Yaoxie, with the help of the system's scanning capabilities, saw that his injuries were rapidly healing.

"See? I told you to hurry up and do it. If we let him have a night, he'll be back to normal by tomorrow. How will we absorb his power then? We might even lose our lives," the boy said.

Lin Yaoxie listened to the system assistant's dissatisfied and accusatory tone. Surprisingly, he wasn't angry; instead, he was somewhat curious.

Wasn't this guy always so timid and submissive when he was inside him? Even when he was cursing, he was still respectful. Why has his attitude become so arrogant now that he's been inside him?

Hmm, that's something to think about.

The assistant, who had been complaining about Lin Yaoxie, immediately shut up when he saw Lin's probing gaze and respectfully lowered his head.

“Host, it was I who overstepped my bounds,” the boy said.

This did not dispel the doubts in Lin Yaoxie's mind.

"Then let's take advantage of his illness and kill him now," Lin Yaoxie said.

Luckily, he had this in mind tonight. He figured he'd weaken it to a crawl, making it easier to get his hands on it tomorrow, which is why he put on this gentlemanly thief act.

Unexpectedly, he witnessed this astonishing scene. He was extremely glad that he hadn't allowed him to finish healing his wounds that night.

Otherwise, if he takes action on his own tomorrow, I'm afraid his epic journey will end here.

Without further ado, Lin Yaoxie used his lightness skill to step on the various protrusions below and flew directly onto the chair.

He can't fly yet, but with the help of objects, his light-footed skills are top-notch, allowing him to simulate flight.

He asked Dangdang, and after she stood on the chair, he noticed that the chair wobbled, but then stood firmly upright again. It didn't shake at all.

That put his mind at ease; he didn't want to be thrown down and smashed into a pulp.

Keep in mind that the chair is several tens of meters above the ground.

Even if he has excellent lightness skills, he will still suffer if he falls.

The boy flew straight up.

Because his assistant controlled his body and could also use the power within him, he easily used the power of a quasi-saint to fly up, while also giving Lin Yaoxie a very disdainful look.

It seems to be saying, "How can you be so weak?"

Without saying a word, Lin Yaoxie kicked him down. The boy flipped in the air and flew back up.

Then he stared at Lin Yaoxie with a smug look on his face, as if mocking Lin Yaoxie for being unable to defeat him.

"If you continue like this, I will terminate our host relationship." Lin Yaoxie threatened fiercely.

He knew this system had ulterior motives in seeking him out. There must be some ulterior motive behind the cooperation, so this system must possess something special to have sought his cooperation.

Therefore, Lin Yaoxie was very certain that the system would not easily break the contract with him, so he could threaten it at this time.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the boy's expression became much more subdued. He pretended nothing had happened and searched for the entrance to the alternate dimension.

But the two of them searched the whole place for that chair and still couldn't find the entrance node.

"Does that mean we can just sit in a chair and get in?" Lin Yaoxie asked doubtfully, but he was also annoyed. Why did Haicheng have to hide so deep in there? Did they think he was a turtle?

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Clearing the Level

"It's not that simple," the boy said, but he still sat down and tried it. However, nothing changed, and the node in the alternate dimension was not opened.

Lin Yaoxie: "..."

Dark System Assistant: "..."

Lin Yaoxie searched around but couldn't find anything unusual, so he had to rely on his imagination. When he saw the open door, a sudden idea struck him.

"Since that jade pendant is both the key to open the door and a talisman that can mobilize the power of wishes, is it possible that it can also be the key to open this Ai space?" Lin Yaoxie asked.

The boy glanced at him disdainfully, seemingly looking down on him for coming up with such a simple idea.
