I practiced with a cheat

Both Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian had actually had many experiences of traveling to other worlds.

Even if there were crises of varying sizes in those worlds, the source was often of concern and they could be solved by concentrating their efforts.

But the main world they were in was different.

The crises they faced came from all aspects, and they were all extremely huge crises.

It was obviously abnormal.

There were many first-grade or even stronger beings among those evil gods and demons, but they all gathered together and scrambled to descend to this world. There must be a reason for this.

This world must have a fatal temptation for them.

As for what this temptation was, the two did not know, but they believed that Zhou Tianxunjie Division had been fighting against evil gods and demons for so many years, and should have known something about the situation.

Taizun and Tianli fell silent again.

After a long while, the Grand Master sighed slightly and said, "The question you asked, in fact, Tianli and I have also asked Tianyi and Qinglong, but we have not received a clear answer.

"It is just that this may be related to the legacy of the ancient mythological era and the dark era before the Middle Ages. They guessed that our world may have a great secret.

"As for the specific reasons, even the two adults may not really explore it clearly."

"It is related to the legacy of the ancient mythological era and the dark era." Zhou Heng frowned slightly when he heard this.

He had actually guessed this answer before, but the ancient mythological era and the dark era seemed to be covered with thick fog for people in this era, and there were too few clues.

Although there are still powerful people who have survived from the dark era to today, they are either resisting the evil gods or hiding their whereabouts, and there is no way to find them.

"These two eras are secrets for us." Cheng Jiangjian said in a deep voice.

"Well, if Tianyi and Qinglong haven't investigated it clearly, with our current cultivation level, I'm afraid there is no hope." Zhou Heng said.

"It seems that if I want to get closer to the truth, I'm afraid I can only practice harder and strive to improve my realm as soon as possible?" Cheng Jiangjian said.

"That may not be the case." Zhou Heng looked at Taizun and Tianli again and said, "Two adults, is there no clue to investigate?"

"As for clues..." Taizun hesitated.

"Oh, you are still so fussy." Tianli couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Why do you have to look back and forth like this? You have seen the strength of Lord Star, and if it is really dangerous, he will definitely know his limits. We don't need to worry too much."

Then, he said to Zhou Heng, "Lord Star, there are indeed clues, but it is very dangerous there. Taizun is worried that you will encounter unexpected events when you go there to investigate, so he is a little hesitant.

"I think that with your strength and knowledge, you should know your limits, and after you become the leader, you will know about this matter, so I said it directly.

"Tianyi and Qinglong discovered a strange world in their early years. The legends of that world include many ancient immortals and gods that we know, and even immortals and gods that we don't know. There is also a seemingly complete immortal system called 'Heaven'.

"Although the Heaven had fallen and the immortals and gods disappeared when Tianyi and Qinglong discovered that world, the people in that world said that such earth-shaking events only happened a hundred years ago."

"Heaven fell and the immortals and gods disappeared?" Zhou Heng was surprised to hear this and asked, "Do the two adults have the information of the road to that world, as well as the specific information of that world?"

"We don't." Tianli shook his head and said, "That world is special and very dangerous. Tianyi and Qinglong do not agree that members of the organization below the third rank go to that world.

"Even if you are a member of the top three rank organization, if you want to go to that world, you have to apply to those two adults. After approval, one of them will host the star gate and send the members who want to go to land."

"In other words, if you want to get the specific situation of that world and the information of the pass, you still have to find Tianyi and Qinglong?" Zhou Heng frowned slightly, then nodded gently, "That's fine, anyway, it's not far from the next gathering."

The next gathering is on April 18th. It's already early March, and there's only less than half a month left. He is not very anxious and can wait.

"Well, by then, Tianyi and Qinglong should be present to hand over the affairs of the organization to you." Taizun sighed: "The invasion of evil gods and foreign demons is getting worse and worse, and they can no longer be distracted."

"Alas, many fellow Taoists are working hard to maintain it, only Taizun and I can only stay in this Ziwei Palace, and we can't even go out." Tianli was a little frustrated and clenched his fists, "Alas..."

"Didn't you say that the Soul Star Gate might be effective for you?" Zhou Heng asked.

After the Soul Star Gate descends to cross the world, the body will be regained, and when returning, the body can be brought back. Tai Zun and Tianli have also thought about regaining the body in this way.

But looking at the two people now, it seems that this method is not feasible?

"It won't work." Tai Zun shook his head and said: "Tianli and I have tried this method. After descending to other worlds through the Soul Star Gate, we can indeed regain the body.

"But this physical body cannot fully accommodate our soul. Unless the physical body can be cultivated to the realm of heaven and human, it will not be able to become a normal physical body at all. The essential gap is too big."

"Actually, even the bodies of gods and humans may not be able to carry the souls of me and Taizun." Tianli said: "In the past, Taizun and I lost our bodies and only had our souls left, so we could only stay in front of Ziwei Palace.

"This stay has lasted more than 1,300 years. After such a long period of time, we have been bathing in the Tao Yun of the Star Palace all the time, and the nature of our soul has been greatly improved, surpassing that of heavenly beings in the usual sense."

"Well, that's true." Tai Zun nodded lightly and chuckled: "With the essence of our current soul, not to mention ordinary flesh bodies in other worlds, even heavenly beings who have survived five tribulations may not be able to survive." Able to carry.”

The souls of heaven and humans rest in the void and are intertwined with the great avenues, and their essence is related to the intertwined great avenues.

Moreover, the higher the essence, the higher the requirements for the physical body.

Because of this, as long as a heavenly being has a certain ambition, he will usually wait until he has passed through the five declines of heavenly beings before trying to condense Tao seeds.

Because the more catastrophes that have been overcome, the stronger the soul can be carried by the physical body, which means that the soul can interweave stronger avenues, thus condensing stronger Tao seeds.

The souls of Tai Zun and Tianli have gone beyond the normal realm of heaven and humans. If they want to rebuild their physical bodies, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"Actually, we have all looked away." Tai Zun laughed again and said: "After coming here for so many years, there is nothing wrong with staying in front of Ziwei Palace and bathing in the glory of the Star Lord."

"..." Tianli did not speak and fell into silence.

"Thank you for your hard work, seniors." Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian both sighed with emotion.

Then they said goodbye and left Ziwei Palace and returned to Taihua Mountain.

…

Qi Rui has already returned safely.

After learning about the return of Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian, he took the initiative to greet them and took them to Yuqiong Peak.

Cheng Jiangjian has a separate small courtyard in Yuqiong Peak, which is very elegantly decorated.

Qi Rui has left, and now there are only two people in the small courtyard, Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian.

In the small pavilion in the center of the lake.

The two sat facing each other.

"Uncle Junior, what did you want to ask me before?" Cheng Jiangjian smiled slightly and said, "Is it about that world?"

"There are also things about you." Zhou Heng said in a deep voice: "I can feel that your close connection with that world is because of that evil god?"

"Well, that's right." Cheng Jiangjian nodded, with a somewhat complicated expression: "I often dream about that world. In my dreams, I am the master of the stars in that world, the king of gods, and Emperor Gouchen. She is the daughter of Dou Mu.

"There are voices constantly calling me, telling me that I am not Cheng Jiangjian, not a mortal, I am a god, a collection of Gouchen concepts, the sister of Emperor Ziwei, and the empress of Emperor Ziwei. …”

"A collection of concepts..." Zhou Heng frowned.

Regarding Gouchen, he had heard many legends in his previous life, and indeed they had different images.

In Taoist legends, he is known as the "Emperor Gouchen Shanggong". He is the eldest son of Doumu Yuanjun and the brother of Emperor Ziwei. He is in charge of the North and South poles, the three talents of heaven, earth and people, controls the stars, and presides over the military revolution in the world. The matter is one of the "Four Imperial Guards".

But in traditional astrology, Gouchen is a star official of Ziweiyuan, located on the side of the center. She is regarded as the harem or concubine of the Emperor of Heaven, and can also be called the empress.

There are also some legends that Gouchen is an ancient god, saying, "The elephant of Gouchen, whose real name is Qilin, is in the center and has the power of Wuri. It is the beast of benevolence and is governed by Tu De."

However, what Cheng Jiangjian is talking about now seems to be different from these. One is a collection of concepts, and the other is specifically for women.

However, judging from her reaction, she seemed to be extremely disgusted with this situation.

"The reason why you chose to be the official of the Big Dipper is to use the power of the stars of the Big Dipper to resist this intrusion?" Zhou Heng asked.

"Well, the erosion of this kind of dream is too serious. It contains powerful star power. If you want to fight against it, you can only use high-level star power." Cheng Jiangjian nodded lightly and sighed:

"Actually, after I became Beidou, this erosion has become much smaller, but it still continues... In the end, as you know, Master and I met the great demon Cang Hua, so we could only rely on our relationship with that world. Contact, cross-border escape, and finally go there.”

"What about now?" Zhou Heng asked with concern.

"Thanks to my uncle's seal, I can no longer feel the erosion of Gou Chen's star power." Cheng Jiangjian came to Zhou Heng with a smile as bright as a flower, and said happily: "Thank you!"

"Haha, it's fine." Zhou Heng also laughed, but he was still a little worried and said, "But why are you being eroded by Gou Chen Xingli? This is a question."

"I once thought about whether I am also the reincarnation of some great power, or have some connection with the Mother of Stars..." Cheng Jiangjian shook her head and sighed slightly: "I went to the Star Palace just because I wanted to To clarify this question, it’s a pity that the change happened too fast, and the mother of stars is too strong.”

At this point, she laughed again and said, "If my junior uncle hadn't turned the tide, I'm afraid that not only would I not have figured out the truth, but I might even have lost my life."

"Well, when we succeed in cultivation, we can go and see that world." Zhou Cheng thought for a while and said, "I can feel that the state of the mother of stars is not normal, and I also have a lot of doubts that I want to solve. clear."

"Then the topic returns to our own cultivation." Cheng Jiang said with a slight smile: "Young Master Uncle, you have already condensed the Dharma. I am still only the True Gang, and I am already one step behind.

"However, I have gained some insights after returning this time. I plan to practice in seclusion and condense the Dharma. I should be able to complete a breakthrough before organizing a gathering."

"Okay." Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Then I'll just wait for the good news."

…

After talking to Cheng Jiangjian, Zhou Heng returned to the golden summit of Yuxu Peak.

Yan Shouyi still didn't come back, and Chen Xuanzai still handled various matters on his behalf.

This made Zhou Heng a little worried.

Fortunately, I learned from Chen Xuan that Yun Xiu had sent a letter half a month ago, briefly explaining Yan Shouyi's current situation.

It is estimated that it will take another two months for Yan Shouyi to come back.

Zhou Heng was temporarily relieved and finally had time to return to the side hall where he usually lived and began to sort out his gains this time.

Needless to say, there was no need to mention the reward for killing two fourth-level monsters previously.

The most critical moment before the beginning was the time when he returned with Cheng Jiangjian and Qi Rui and used the Tiantian Seal to defeat the Xiantian Doumu Yuanjun in pursuit.

This should be regarded as Zhou Heng's first real confrontation with the evil god himself.

Prior to this, neither Emperor Dongyue Taishan nor Moko Kasyapa actually had a real fight. The former was directly frightened away by the power of Ziwei Star Palace, while the latter only came in partial incarnation.

Only this time, Zhou Heng repelled the evil god named Doumu Yuanjun, and even the power of the Opening Heaven Seal traced its trajectory back to the evil god's true body.

The rewards brought by such battles are extremely huge, and there are even new types of rewards.

"Congratulations! You used the projection card 'Open Heaven Seal [Silver]' to defeat the evil god 'Xiantian Doumu Yuanjun' (suppressed)!

“Secret [Platinum] +1, Treasure Chest [Platinum] +1, Lucky Bag [Gold] +2, Lucky Bag [Silver] +2, Lucky Bag [Bronze] +2.

"Number of option rewards +2, existing basic attributes +2, existing additional attributes +2, special skill upgrade card +2, martial arts upgrade card +2, life span +1000, Doumu projection card +1, can Select the number of rewards +1, and the martial arts and Taoist proficiency spree +1.

"Please choose 1+1 from the following rewards."
