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

Chapter 450 Seclusion (Please Subscribe)

Inside the training camp of Tianpeng Palace.

Little Willow gritted her teeth and clung to the smooth, round, huge pillar, struggling to climb upwards using both her hands and feet.

That pillar was so smooth, as if it had been coated with oil, that it was impossible to touch.

With each step she climbed upwards, Xiao Liu had to use every bone and muscle in her body to ensure she had enough strength to hold herself firmly on the pillar.

Using this method, she climbed over one pillar after another, sliding from the top of one pillar to the bottom of another via rope, repeating the process over and over.

But that's not all.

The purpose of those who built this purgatory with its thousands of pillars and sharp spikes is unknown.

As Xiao Liu'er got closer and closer to the outer edge, she discovered that the surrounding array, in addition to originally restricting supernatural powers, divine will, and perception, had also added some gravity to increase the pressure on her body.

At first, it wasn't much, about ten times.

Then it becomes twenty times, thirty times.

Until the last ten, the gravity finally stabilized at around fifty times the normal gravity.

It is roughly equivalent to the force of ten thousand jun (a unit of weight).

Hehe, Little Willow doesn't know the exact amount of ten thousand jun.

She wasn't a physical cultivator and never cared about cultivating her physical body.

She always thought that practicing those reckless supernatural methods too much would turn her brain into a mass of muscles.

Just like Ah Lang.

The first reaction to danger is not to run away, but to go up and touch it, to test it.

That's incredibly stupid.

In contrast, Xiao Liu'er admired Chen Yi's "reckless" behavior more, probably because Chen Yi was strong enough.

Even when facing enemies several times his size, or opponents whose cultivation and supernatural abilities surpassed his own, he was still able to kill them with ease.

That kind of swordsman is the kind of swordsman Xiao Liu'er likes.

Of course, it wasn't that she liked her; it was purely the kind of appreciation an elder has for a younger person.

Simply because she is a reincarnated person.

However, unlike most of the old monsters who have rebuilt their cultivation now, she was a great old monster in ancient times in her previous life.

To be precise, he was a powerful monster who had just reached the eighth level of supernatural powers at the end of the ancient era.

Therefore, Xiao Liu'er rarely experiences emotional fluctuations.

They are even less likely to be angry.

Most of the time, she was very calm, as if she had seen through all the worldly affairs and had a clear understanding of everything.

"Damn Marshal Tianpeng!"

"How could you build something like this in your own palace?!"

Little Willow gritted her teeth and climbed over the second-to-last pillar, lying on it drenched in sweat. Gazing at the dome above, she silently expressed her dissatisfaction with Marshal Tianpeng.

She has reason to express her dissatisfaction.

Aside from the torment caused by these restrictive metal pillars, she herself had some understanding of Marshal Tianpeng.

Or perhaps she had heard some rumors in her past life.

Most of the stories focus on how Marshal Tianpeng was so understanding and compassionate towards beautiful women. There are even rumors that he once wrote a love letter to the most beautiful woman in the Daoist court.

It's not the kind of love letter that's embellished with literary skill or talent, but rather a testament to 10,240 years of perseverance.

The kind of persistence that comes from writing a love letter every day.

Such a story would naturally be hard to believe today.

However, in ancient times, during that prosperous and vibrant period when a hundred schools of thought contended, many women were passionate about such stories.

Little Willow was one of them.

She even had a thought once—if Marshal Tianpeng were to write her a love letter, perhaps it wouldn't take ten thousand years, one year would be enough.

Unfortunately, she was not the most beautiful woman in the Taoist temple at that time.

At best, it's much better than the last place, and it only has the advantage of being "beautiful".

After a moment of wild speculation, Xiao Liu got up again, gritted her teeth, and charged toward the last pillar.

After exploring the palace, she planned to look for the love letters written by Marshal Tianpeng back then.

Just then.

Two golden figures instantly appeared in front of her, blocking her path.

Xiao Liu'er paused, then took several steps back, watching the figure in front of her warily.

"Golden-armored celestial soldiers?"

Xiao Liu'er, who came from an ancient Taoist court, knew that the golden-armored heavenly soldiers in front of her were not real heavenly soldiers, but were just two talismans transformed into form.

However, each of the golden-armored heavenly soldiers is comparable in strength to a powerful being at the fifth level of the Divine Realm, and is a special talisman that only existed in ancient times.

The method of refining it was lost long ago.

However, the two golden-armored heavenly soldiers did not make any move when they saw Xiao Liu'er. Instead, they bowed to her.

"Ok?"

Xiao Liu was taken aback. Should she bow?

Before she could react or respond, the two golden-armored heavenly soldiers instantly appeared beside her.

They lifted her arms from the left and right.

Little Willow immediately struggled, "You...you..."

However, she was currently restricted by the great formation, and her strength was reduced to less than one-tenth. She was no match for these two golden-armored heavenly soldiers.

She could only let them carry her into the air.

Where are you taking me?

The same words were spoken by Qingfeng in Peach Garden.

However, compared to Xiao Liu'er, Qingfeng is much more agile.

Even though her cultivation level and supernatural abilities were inferior to those two golden-armored heavenly soldiers, she possessed a whole host of strange and unusual items.

There are talismans that increase movement speed, pills that temporarily boost cultivation and explosive power, and array plates that can stop the golden-armored heavenly soldiers.

Qingfeng didn't know what the two golden-armored heavenly soldiers were going to do, so he simply threw them all out at once.

Then, run away.

As she ran, she shouted, "You, you stay away! This old lady has plenty of treasures on her."

"If you come any closer, I'll fight you to the death."

Nothing.

The two golden-armored heavenly soldiers couldn't speak; they could only follow Qingfeng around the peach garden.

When they encountered the great formation, they were only hindered for a short time.

A moment later, they will run out and continue chasing Qingfeng.

He didn't hit anyone, nor did he shout; he just kept chasing after them.

Qingfeng is in a terrible situation.

With each item she threw away, her heart bled.

One pill is worth the blood core of two demons at the third level of supernatural powers.

One array plate is worth three demon blood cores at the fourth level of supernatural power.

Talismans...

Just a quarter of an hour later, Qingfeng's face twitched with heartache. In the end, she directly took out a jade slip from her storage magic artifact.

He stopped walking and turned to look at the two golden-armored heavenly soldiers.

They looked ready to fight them to the death.

"You guys are going too far!"

Qingfeng's heart was bleeding. If she could, she would never want to use the magical jade slip that her senior brother had given her.

But there is no way.

The two golden-armored celestial soldiers were not hindered by the great formation, and their defensive power was astonishing. The various magical treasures that struck them were like tickling.

But at this moment, when the two golden-armored heavenly soldiers saw Qingfeng stop, they actually sped up a bit. Not only did they not intend to stop, but it seemed like they were going to deliver a final blow.

Qingfeng's expression changed. "Don't come any closer!"

"Stop!"

Just as she was about to crush the jade slip in her hand, the two golden-armored heavenly soldiers suddenly stopped.

They stopped a foot away from Qingfeng, their large hands almost touching her left and right sides.

"You... you..."

Before Qingfeng could say anything more, a huge face appeared in the sky, grinning at her and saying:

"Sister Qingfeng, don't resist. This is a heavenly soldier that Yi-ge'er came to find you and want to bring you to join us."

Qingfeng looked up at the grinning face, paused for a moment, then flew into a rage. She pointed directly at the enormous, illusory face in the sky and shouted:
"Sword fanatic, why didn't you say so earlier?!"

"Is it fun watching me jump around here?"

"what?!"

Sword Maniac's playful expression froze. He chuckled twice and turned to ask a few questions.

"Yi-ge'er, what do we do now?"

"Sister Qingfeng seems to be angry."

A faint voice came from beside him: "Let Qingfeng come over first, then we'll talk about the rest."

"oh oh."

Sword Maniac nodded, his illusory face stirring up the clouds in the sky. Then he looked down at the azure wind below and said:
"Come over here and we'll talk. Just remember not to resist."

"You wait for me!"

Qingfeng naturally wouldn't resist anymore. After putting away the jade slip, his face was full of displeasure.

If she had known that these two golden-armored celestial soldiers were sent by Chen Yi and his group, why would she have wasted so many rare and precious materials?
So much stuff has been wasted.

Elixirs, talismans, array plates, and so on—the value is immense... Demon blood cores.

Fortunately, she didn't use the jade slip her senior brother gave her in the end, otherwise the loss would have been even greater.

With these thoughts in mind, Qingfeng had the two golden-armored heavenly soldiers carry her up into the sky.

Just as her short legs were about to kick the sword fanatic's illusory face, she suddenly realized what was happening.

"Huh? Did they see everything I just did?"

"Ugh... How embarrassing!"

Qingfeng cursed inwardly, then felt the scene before him change.

When they looked again, she appeared in front of Chen Yi and the others.

Without asking any questions, Qingfeng pounced on Jianchi, preemptively striking to avoid being mocked by these people.

But the sword fanatic was in a terrible state, being grabbed and scratched by her as she fled endlessly through the gold and jade-paved hall.

"Yi-ge'er, Yi-ge'er, Ah Lang, please help me..."

Chen Yi naturally did not help him. After everyone had gathered, he bowed to the Marshal Tianpeng, who had transformed from a nine-toothed rake, and said, "Thank you."

Nine-Toothed Rake waved his hand, "Guardian, don't be so polite. This is just my duty."

However, a hint of smugness was faintly visible on his fat, hairy face.

This is the gratitude of the White Tiger True Lord, one of the Four True Lords of the Daoist Court.

Not to mention his weapon, even his master, Marshal Tianpeng, had never received gratitude from such a person.

In most cases, when a True Lord issues a decree, even a being like Marshal Tianpeng has to obey.

grateful?

No.

At most, there will be some rewards.

It didn't take long.

Nine-Toothed Rake led several heavenly soldiers away.

Chen Yi glanced at the silent Xiao Liu'er and the still angry Qing Feng, then smiled and handed them the two sets of Heavenly Soldier Armor.

Then, just like before, he repeated what he had said to Alang and Jianchi.

"...You are free to do as you please, as long as you don't go to those forbidden areas."

Qingfeng's expression improved slightly, and she looked at the armor in her hand, her eyes darting around a few times.

"Yi-ge'er, do you think I could lend this set of armor to those who need it?"

"What?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, and after guessing her thoughts, he was both amused and exasperated.

"Sister Qingfeng, this is the residence of Marshal Tianpeng, the supreme being who ruled the water-based heavenly soldiers and generals of the ancient Daoist court. There are quite a few treasures in his residence."

"If you can find some rare and precious materials here, you'll earn more than if you rent out this suit of armor."

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng blinked, quickly changed into the Heavenly Soldier Armor, looked down, and his eyes immediately curved into crescent shapes.

"Yi-ge'er, you are indeed insightful."

“You’re right. As long as I can find a few more rare and precious materials, I can definitely make up for the loss of the things I just used.”

"Unlike Sword Maniac and Ah Lang... Humph!"

Upon hearing this, both Jian Chi and A Lang wore wry smiles and said nothing more.

Xiao Liu silently changed into her armor, glanced around, and then looked at Chen Yi, asking:
"Just now, Yi-ge'er said that this enormous palace is some kind of ancient, acquired spiritual treasure?"

Chen Yi nodded. "That's what the general said. I think it's called the Water Control Ruler."

He paused, looked Xiao Liu'er over, and warned, "This magic weapon should be closely related to this secret realm. If you try to take it, you'll probably be in big trouble."

Even though he is now the White Tiger True Lord of the ancient Taoist court.

There's no guarantee that they'll survive under that nine-toothed rake.

If Xiao Liu'er really does something outrageous, he can't guarantee that he can save her.

"Brother Yi is joking. I wouldn't dare to have any wild ideas here."

Xiao Liu smiled gently, but in her heart she was worried for "Lin Xian" Yin Wuji.

If Yin Wuji were to actually make a move later, he would likely suffer a terrible death.

It seems that the leader's mission to have "Linxian" obtain the Water Control Ruler is going to fail.

As Xiao Liu'er thought about these things, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Chen Yi.

It was probably the same thought that Ah Lang and Jian Chi had before—Xiao Liu'er was also questioning the pig demon's attitude towards Chen Yi.

As far as she knew, the Azure Dragon was indeed highly regarded by the Daoist court in ancient times, but it was still a bit inferior in status compared to Marshal Tianpeng.

We'll have to wait until that Azure Dragon grows up, or becomes a True Lord of the Dao Court.

"Yi-ge'er, what are your plans for the future?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Chi and the others also looked at Chen Yi, "How about Brother Yi leads us to explore this secret realm?"

"Yes, Yi-ge'er, with you by our side, we're sure to reap many rewards."

Chen Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You can go."

"I gained some insights from the previous battle with old demons like Shirakawa Yo, and I need to go into seclusion here for a while."

Now that he has gained the recognition of the ancient Daoist court and can be considered a true White Tiger True Lord, he needs to make some preparations for what follows.

Instead of wasting time searching for treasures left behind in Marshal Tianpeng's mansion, he might as well improve his cultivation first.

It would be good if, after this trip to the secret realm, he could go and find the White Tiger True Lord's mansion called "Taichu".

That is the greatest treasure that he, the White Tiger True Lord of the Daoist Court, can obtain.

Of course, Chen Yi would never reveal these things.

Seeing this, Qingfeng nodded and said, "Yi-ge'er, you just do your thing. I'll lead them to explore this secret realm and we'll still gain something."

Sword Maniac: “…”

Ah Lang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Qingfeng glanced at the two of them sideways. "What, is that not allowed?"

"Of course not, no, hehe..."

Seeing this, Xiao Liu shook her head thoughtfully: "I won't go with you. I plan to explore this secret realm later."

She has her own goals, so it's inconvenient for Qingfeng and the others to follow her.

However, Xiao Liu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Given the pig demon's attitude towards Chen Yi just now, it's hard to guarantee that he won't see what the group did in the secret realm.

But upon closer reflection, Xiao Liu'er didn't have any good ideas.

She just hoped that Chen Yi would really go into seclusion for the next few days, otherwise some of her secrets might be exposed.

Chen Yi couldn't guess what the others were thinking, so he didn't linger. He exchanged a few words with Qingfeng and the others before they parted ways.

Afterwards, Chen Yi followed the Nine-Toothed Rake to a quiet room.

"My lord, this is where the marshal once secluded himself for cultivation. You are absolutely safe here."

"Thank you."

"You're too kind. Your presence at Marshal Tianpeng's residence has already brought great honor to this humble abode. It's truly an honor..."

Chen Yi glanced at him, naturally not making things difficult for him.

After exchanging a few jokes, he dismissed the Nine-Toothed Rake.

Looking at the simply furnished quiet room, Chen Yi smiled slightly:
"After waiting for so long, it's time to improve my cultivation and reach the realm of supernatural powers."

Of course, the most important thing is the "Eight-Nine Arcane Technique"!
The next moment, Chen Yi sat cross-legged on the futon, and a light screen appeared in front of him—

[Received cultivation level: Lower Celestial Immortal Realm...]
