Daily life of slaying demons in the government

The mountain behind Sanzhi Peak.

Few people come here. The demons are busy plundering here, but they have no interest in this place. It's just because it's remote. Even if the scenery is beautiful, it's obviously not a place to store things.

Only some demons and immortals with shallow cultivation who don't have many opportunities to plunder would wander around here, but no one came after one or two times. After all, there is no shortage of beautiful things in the middle area, so it's okay to see them once, there's no need to wander around all the time.

The immortal who mentioned this to Yang Qian heard his disciples talking about the back mountain, and he went there himself and had some impression of the terrace. After all, the name was too strange.

Climb to the Tiantai? This is the residence of the King of Heaven in the West. It is already in heaven. Where else do we need to climb to? What heaven should we climb to?

So when Yang Qian asked if there were any strange clues, the immortal king hesitated and stood up to tell the story. He himself actually didn't know whether this clue was useful or not.

After Yang Qian arrived here, he found that this place was very close to the top of the mountain, but it was in a hidden area and could be reached by a quiet path.

There are no magical barriers or the like along the way. Compared to the treasure houses or secret rooms with many security measures, this place is just like a roadside pavilion without any obstacles.

The place was not very big. It was called a "platform" but in fact it was only a little over two feet in radius. A long stone stretched out from the shade of a tree, only half a foot away from the mountain. On the left was a stone tablet that was more than one person tall and two feet wide.

There was not a single word on the stone tablet, but it was not smooth either, and was covered with lines, as if it had been washed out by something.

"This stone tablet is extraordinary!"

"Oh? What did the Immortal Master discover?" Yang Qian was still looking around the small terrace when an Immortal Master beside him noticed something first.

"The base of this stone tablet is carved with a tree that reaches the sky. I remember that this thing is a unique symbol of the Immortal Emperor in the Heavenly Palace. Even the King of the West is not qualified to use this decoration. Now it is displayed here in a grand manner. There is only one possibility. This stone tablet was given to the King of the West by the Immortal Emperor."

"The things bestowed by the Immortal Emperor are placed here?"

Yang Qian blinked his eyes. But even if he probed into the stone tablet with his divine sense, he still couldn't find any clues, as if it was just a decoration, or just a symbolic reward.

However, Liu Yu shook his head and said that he had never heard that the Immortal Emperor would bestow such a useless thing.

Liu Yu's statement added a sense of mystery to the stone tablet.

A group of immortals and Yang Qian investigated repeatedly, and finally came to the conclusion that the strange thing should be in the textures on the stone tablet. They need to first figure out what those textures represent.

Yang Qian thought so at first, but after a few days he no longer thought so. He even thought that those textures might not matter at all.

Leaving a few immortals still studying on the terrace, Yang Qian returned to his residence, found Zeng Sanming and Le Jiuyin, and told them about the events in the back mountain. He wanted to ask them if they could think of some other ideas.

Zeng Sanming frowned this time and didn't think of any way to relieve the situation. On the contrary, Le Jiuyin seemed to be thinking after listening to it.

"Le Jiuyin, have you thought of anything?"

"My Lord, I was just wondering what the rules are for disciples of our Douhuo Palace if they want to meet their master.

Generally speaking, 90% of the disciples are not qualified to directly ask to see the grand master. At most, if there are special circumstances that require them to see the grand master, they will first find their own master, and then report it layer by layer, and finally send a message to the grand master to request it. Only after getting the grand master's consent will they go to the upper world under the guidance of their own senior masters to meet the grand master.

This rule should be similar in the Heavenly Palace, right? I also heard from Master that every time he went to see Master, he had to communicate first, and Master would only see him when he was not in seclusion. This was the same when I met Master.

I think the rules in the Heavenly Palace are much stricter than those of us demon cultivators. You can't just go see the Immortal Emperor whenever you want, right?

So the stone tablet could have two uses."

"Which two uses?"

"The first is that it means one is qualified to see the Immortal Emperor. The second is the use of communication, just like the use of the Jade Sword Talisman."

When Yang Qian heard this, he immediately followed Le Jiuyin's idea in his mind and found that although it seemed a bit simple and crude, it was definitely logically tenable.

While Yang Qian was still pondering, Le Jiuyin continued, “Didn’t you check a lot of documents from the King of the West before? Didn’t you see phrases like ‘report to Haotian and wait for the decree to be given before making a decision’ mentioned several times in them?
I think that the King of the West doesn’t have to meet him every time, there should be special means to report the news.”

Jade Sword Talisman. Yang Qian nodded and said, "If it is really as said, it has the same use as the Jade Sword Talisman, then there should not be just one stone tablet, but a pair. This side reported the news, and the other side received it and sent a reply.

In this way, there will be a vein to follow!"

The more Yang Qian thought about it, the more he felt that Le Jiuyin's guess might be true. So he turned around and returned to the terrace at the back of the mountain, and then began to try to leave a message on the stone tablet.

"Master Yang Dan, what you mean is that these lines on the stone tablet were not created by any special means, but were left behind by leaving messages time and time again and then erasing them?"

Yang Qian relayed Le Jiuyin's speculation to these immortals, and they immediately made further deductions.

These demon clan immortals are very capable. Although they were almost wiped out before, they are not stupid. On the contrary, if they can cultivate to the immortal realm and manage a force, they are not stupid.

With the ideas given by Yang Qian, in just five days, these guys had figured out the ordinary stone tablet. They even used the remaining lines on the stone tablet to reversely deduce the method of leaving the message on it.

After the discussion, Liu Yu took action and left the following message on the stone tablet according to the deduced method: Heaven and earth are in a catastrophe, the middle domain has become a dead zone, please ask the Immortal Emperor to come out and save all living beings in heaven and earth.

As soon as it was written, the words on the stone tablet began to fade away slowly as if melting, and finally disappeared, leaving only the special remaining traces of erosion, just like the lines on the stone tablet when everyone first discovered it.

Judging from the situation, I guessed it right!

But it's not over yet.

Leaving a message behind is not only an act of confirming a guess. It is also throwing out a "torch". As long as there is a message circulating, the immortals present can sense where the message is going. Then they can lock in the so-called "heaven beyond heaven" hidden under the rules of space.

"found it!"

The three immortals shouted excitedly almost at the same time, and then shared their findings with each other to verify.

On the contrary, Yang Qian stood by with his eyes wide open and could only listen. He was far inferior to these immortals in this method.

"But there is only one place for this news. I don't know which of the three places outside the heavens it is." (End of this chapter)
