I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 449 Water Control Ruler (Please Subscribe)
Hearing the noise outside, Ah Lang and Jian Chi exchanged a glance, both of them clearly showing some suspicion.

I'm not sure if they misheard me.

"Is that Yi-ge'er's voice?"

"I think I heard Yi-ge'er's voice too. Yi-ge'er, he's come to save us?"

A look of joy appeared on Jian Chi's face, and he hurriedly called out, "Brother Yi, Brother Yi, is that you?"

Ah Lang also stared wide-eyed at the small, brightly lit window in the distance, hoping to get a response from Chen Yi there.

next moment.

The two then saw a figure appear outside the window.

To their disappointment, the figure was significantly more robust than Chen Yi, appearing as if he were wearing a suit of armor.

Furthermore, he had a crown on his head, which should be a helmet that matches the armor he was wearing.

At this moment, the figure was blocked from the light, and from a distance, only a black silhouette could be seen.

Ah Lang muttered to himself, if he hadn't been suppressed by the great formation here, which prevented him from using his mental perception, how could he have seen such a strange fellow with his naked eyes?

Sword Maniac, however, didn't think as much as he did, and called out again, "Senior, senior, I know I was wrong, and I hope you will forgive me."

"You are so kind as to let this junior leave. In this life... no, in the next life, in the next life, this junior will definitely serve you."

Ah Lang opened his mouth, nearly choking on his breath, and turned to look at him, cursing again: "If you're going to beg for mercy, can't you be a little more sincere?"

The sword fanatic retorted confidently, "I still have to serve my master in this life. You've never heard of not serving two masters?"

After saying that, he continued to beg for mercy, saying, "Senior, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

"Stop reading, you..."

Seeing Jian Chi and A Lang bickering and begging for mercy at the same time, Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Can't you two take a look at the situation we're in before you start acting like fools?"

"Yi-ge'er? Is it really you?"

"Great!"

This time, Sword Maniac and Ah Lang finally confirmed that the figure was Chen Yi.

While relieved, he couldn't help but complain, "Yi-ge'er, you're here, why did you scare us like that?"

Chen Yi looked at them with a half-smile and said, "Blame me?"

"Never mind then, I don't want to owe anyone a favor for saving you anyway."

"No, no, no..."

"Help! Help! Help!"

Chen Yi was just joking with them. He quickly dispelled the great formation and let Alang and Jianchi down.

The three arrived outside the dungeon.

The moment when I saw the light again.

Sword Maniac couldn't help but laugh, "I almost thought I was going to die here, but thanks to Brother Yi for saving me."

Unlike him, Ah Lang, after the feeling of surviving a calamity had subsided, couldn't help but look at Chen Yi, who was wearing red and black armor, and asked:
"This should be deep within a secret realm. Even if you discover we disappeared at the entrance, finding us will probably be difficult, won't it?"

"And that armor you're wearing, you..."

Before he could finish his question, the sword fanatic chimed in, "Yeah, Yi-ge'er, how did you find us?"

Chen Yi chuckled, then, following his pre-prepared explanation, pointed to the Azure Dragon bracelet on his wrist and said:

"It's all thanks to Xiaoqing's help. The bloodline of the ancient divine beast has certain authority in this Marshal Tianpeng's mansion, and can find the creatures in this mansion to help."

"Qinglong?"

Ah Lang and Jian Chi exchanged a glance, and said with some skepticism, "The bloodline of ancient divine beasts may indeed have such special characteristics."

"They might even be able to roam freely in this secret realm. That's normal, hehe, that's normal..."

After all, he is Yi-ge'er, and after all, he is an ancient Azure Dragon divine beast. It is normal for him to have some privileges in this Tianpeng Secret Realm.

On the contrary, Xiao Qing, who was clinging to Chen Yi's wrist, had a slightly strange look in her eyes.

Why doesn't it know that it can act arrogantly on other people's turf?
But... forget it.

It did whatever Chen Yi said, and went to sleep.

Chen Yi, unaware of Xiao Qing's thoughts, chuckled and said, "We won't be able to walk sideways, but we should have some advantages in this secret realm. For example, this..."

He pointed to the armor on his body, "This is the Heavenly General Armor from the original Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals within the Tianpeng Secret Realm. It allows you to travel freely within the secret realm, as long as it's not a forbidden area."

The sword fanatic opened his mouth, pointed to his armor, then to what was behind him, and stammered:

"This, this, can you really walk sideways like this?"

Alang reacted faster, laughing and patting him on the shoulder, "Didn't you hear what Yi-ge'er said? Some forbidden areas can't be visited."

Sword Maniac grinned. "I heard that. But I just realized that if Yi-ge'er could use this armor to rescue you and me from the dungeon, then what in this secret realm can still be called a forbidden area?"

Ah Lang paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Sword fanatic, sometimes I have to admire your quick wit; you're fast enough to react."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Yi for confirmation and asked, "Is that so?"

Chen Yi nodded and said with a smile, "According to that creature, you can go anywhere except the house where the owner of this secret realm sleeps."

Upon hearing this, both Ah Lang and Jian Chi were overjoyed.

They even forgot that when they were captured and nearly killed in the dungeon, all they could think about was the joy of the impending reward.

You should know that this is the depths of the Tianpeng Secret Realm, which even a great power like Zhao Muzi cannot enter, and it is full of treasures.

Even though many geniuses came before, they explored less than one ten-thousandth of the area in this dangerous secret realm, making it impossible to obtain all the rare and precious materials.

"So, after putting on this armor, we can explore this secret realm safely and without worry? After all, that pig demon... oh no, that Marshal Tianpeng's sleeping palace shouldn't be anything special."

"That's right, as long as we're careful, the treasures here..."

Even though Ah Lang has explored various secret realms over the years and obtained some treasures passed down from ancient times, the more precious the things are, the more dangerous they are hidden in places such as some fierce formations and strange secret places.

I have never encountered a situation like today, where I can roam freely in a secret realm preserved from ancient times.

Just thinking about this makes Ah Lang grin from ear to ear.

Chen Yi understood their thoughts and immediately took out two sets of armor from his personal storage artifact and handed them to them.

Ah Lang and the Sword Maniac changed into their armor and looked at each other. They were both dressed in gleaming silver armor, which made them look exceptionally heroic.

However, upon seeing the armor Chen Yi was wearing, they couldn't help but ask:

"Yi-ge'er, your outfit seems to be more powerful than ours?"

Compared to their silver-white armor, Chen Yi wore red and gold armor, which was not only heavier in style, but also had some marks that looked like array markings.

Clearly, an ancient formation was engraved on the red and gold armor. Chen Yi nodded, patting the armor on his body, and said, "There is indeed a difference. According to the spirit of that secret realm, the one I'm wearing belongs to a Heavenly General and has greater authority."

Then he added, "I forgot to tell you, each set of armor is imprinted with a water control formation, and not just any ordinary water control formation, but a formation that can freely pass through the Weak Water."

Alang asked in surprise, "Pass through the Weak Water? Doesn't that mean that wearing this allows us to explore the Weak Water realm?"

He was well aware of the unique nature of the Weak Water Realm within the entire Taizhou Mountain.

It can be said that, except for the time when the Tianpeng Secret Realm is open and there are cultivators in the Weak Water Realm, at other times, no cultivator dares to come here to explore alone.

Even though there are many legends about the Weak Water Realm, such as many ancient powerful beings perished in the Weak Water, many powerful beings hide in caves, and some people who were being chased accidentally escaped into the Weak Water and fell in.

Based on these facts alone, Alang could determine the value of the armor he was wearing—it was a priceless treasure that could grant access to numerous rare and precious materials.

Sword Maniac thought things through more simply. He only cared about the present. After receiving Chen Yi's affirmative answer, he looked around and urged them to explore in a certain direction.

Chen Yi smiled and shook his head, "No rush, it's not too late to explore after Sister Qingfeng and Xiaoliu'er gather."

Sword Maniac finally realized what was happening, and the smile on his face immediately faded a bit. "Um, what do you think Sister Qingfeng's reaction will be if she finds out that we weren't waiting for them outside the secret realm?"

Alang paused for a moment, then said, "I reckon if you came with me... she'd probably yell at you to death."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Yi with a slightly embarrassed expression and said, "Brother Yi, Brother Yi should be fine, but you'll have to lend us a hand when the time comes."

If he and the Sword Maniac hadn't had that accident at the palace gate, they wouldn't have entered the secret realm ahead of schedule.

If Qingfeng and Xiaoliuer found out, they would definitely say a few words to them.

Chen Yi hummed in agreement, pondered for a moment, and then asked Jian Chi to use the Xun Wang Token to check if Qing Feng and the others had entered the secret realm.

Not long after, the Sword Maniac regained his senses from the Xunwang Order and immediately began shouting:
"Oh no, Sister Qingfeng left a lot of messages in the Xunwang Order, saying that she wants to settle accounts with us."

Ah Lang opened his mouth, "...Really?"

Sword Maniac nodded, on the verge of tears. "Sister Xiaolan said that Sister Qingfeng left in a hurry, but before that, she was very angry."

"How to do?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi slightly raised his hand, signaling them to quiet down, and said:

"Now that they've entered the secret realm, things are much easier."

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of Sword Maniac and Ah Lang, he cupped his hands towards the empty space beside him and said:
"I hope the general will do me a favor and help me find my two companions."

It's unclear who influenced that Nine-Toothed Rake, but it proclaimed itself a general in this secret realm, meaning it was second only to the emperor, commanding thousands of troops.

When Chen Yi first saw it, it was under these circumstances that he obtained the several sets of armor from it.

Sword Maniac looked around suspiciously and asked, "Yi-ge'er, who are you talking to? The general? Are you referring to the general of this secret realm?"

"Then isn't it the same as your identity? It's the same as that..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ah Lang covered his mouth and shushed him, saying, "Have you forgotten how you got in here? And you're still so outspoken?"

If they utter the words "pig demon" again, who knows if they'll be locked up in that dungeon again?

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside the three of them; it was a boar demon wearing heavy armor.

Its appearance was that of a black-faced creature with fangs, its body covered in coarse, stiff bristles, and its black armor made it two zhang taller than Chen Yi and the others.

Upon appearing, it glanced around, ignoring Ah Lang and the Sword Maniac, and bowed directly to Chen Yi, saying:

"I will obey your orders."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi smiled wryly to himself and quickly sent a telepathic message to it, asking it to help him put on a show.

Upon hearing his voice, Nine-Toothed Rake glanced at Ah Lang and Sword Maniac, whose expressions were strange, and coughed, saying:

"What I mean is, with the Azure Dragon protecting you, you are a person blessed by heaven and earth, and have great fortune. Why should you bother with such a small favor?"

Ah Lang and the Sword Maniac exchanged a glance, their curiosity growing even stronger.

Is this person really being so respectful to Yi-ge'er just because of the Azure Dragon Divine Beast?
Chen Yi glanced at them, thinking that things had come to this point, so he brushed them off with a few words and then asked the Nine-Toothed Rake to help find people.

To this end, he also used his divine will to manifest the appearances of Qingfeng and Xiaoliu'er.

The nine-toothed rake glanced at it, rubbed his hands together with a smile, and said, "Easy."

Then it simply waved its hand, and a phantom world appeared in front of the three of them—it was the palace complex deep within the Tianpeng Secret Realm.

Besides the various palaces, secret treasures, and some stone carvings of golden-armored warriors, there were also several cautious-looking figures.

They have likely found all the cultivators who ventured deep into the secret realm.

Chen Yi scanned the area and quickly located Qingfeng and Xiaoliu'er.

The former was on a peach tree, eating peaches and stuffing them into a storage artifact.

And the latter...

Chen Yi looked at Xiao Liu'er's struggling figure as she climbed, a hint of surprise on his face. "Is Xiao Liu'er training her physical body?"

Noticing his gaze, Nine-Toothed Rake took the initiative to explain: "My lord, cough cough, envoy of the Azure Dragon, you may not know this, but the place where your companion is located is a cultivation ground created by the former marshal for his heavenly soldiers and generals."

"There is a great array inside that isolates the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and suppresses the mind and supernatural powers. It can only be passed through by physical strength."

He paused, then pointed a thick finger at the base of the pillars, saying with a hint of pride:

"Moreover, in order to motivate those lazybones, the marshal specially arranged Soul-Slaying Spikes below. Anyone who falls down will not die, but their pain will be doubled."

Chen Yi nodded. "As long as no one is killed, then I'll trouble the general to lead us there."

The Nine-Toothed Rake laughed and said, "No need for that trouble."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Then several heavenly soldiers clad in silver armor appeared around them. After bowing to Chen Yi, Jian Chi, and A Lang, they went straight into the illusion.

Sword fanatic asked with great interest, "Isn't this an illusion?"

Nine-Toothed Rake glanced down at him condescendingly. "Of course not. This is the central control hub of the mansion, the core magic weapon of the Tianpeng Palace. Those golden-armored heavenly soldiers can naturally go anywhere through the central control hub."

"Furthermore, this mansion was forged from stones collected from the pool at the top of Mount Taizhou by the former marshal. Despite its current size, it is actually a rare acquired spiritual treasure called the 'Water Control Ruler'."

Sword fanatic was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "You mean, the whole thing here is a magic treasure?"

The Nine-Toothed Rake said solemnly, "It is an acquired spiritual treasure."

Chen Yi asked thoughtfully, "I don't know much about ancient times. I wonder what the differences are in the power of acquired spiritual treasures, immortal artifacts, and magical treasures?"

"Replying to Your Excellency... Azure Dragon Protector, the difference is naturally very large. Immortal artifacts are the pinnacle of magical treasures, but they are ultimately limited by human power. Above that are acquired spiritual treasures, and above that are innate spiritual treasures, as well as Chaos Treasures."

"Possesses the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth."

Sword Maniac nodded as if he understood, and asked, "Marshal Tianpeng was so strong, he must have had an innate spiritual treasure, right?"

"...Yes, no...Old Pig, I don't know either."

Indeed, it's better for this child to stay in the underground cage.
