Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

After staying in the air, the giant flying boat lowered a small flying boat, carrying everyone slowly to the ground.

As soon as they stepped out of the boat, a team in front of them instantly caught the attention of several people.

This team consisted of about a thousand people, all dressed in neat black armor that reflected a cold light. Their faces were covered by heavy armor, with sharp swords hanging from their waists and red cloaks fluttering in the wind behind them.

These people, including their armor, were about ten feet tall in total and looked very majestic.

They rode tall and agile horses, their hooves stepping on the stone road, splashing up fine dust and making crisp and powerful sounds.

The captain at the head of the team had a sharp eye like an eagle, constantly scanning the surroundings. When the person to be picked up appeared, the captain raised his hand and the team quickly stopped in unison.

Then, two cavalrymen dismounted, walked quickly towards the few people, knelt on one knee, and saluted with their fists clasped.

However, the objects of the ceremony were certainly not those who were conscripted, but the Jiayin in the team.

"Thank you two inspectors for escorting us along the way."

Jiayin slowly walked out of the team, his eyes showing both the joy of returning to Kyoto and confusion about the future.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Yue, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Zhao Jiayin, my real name."

Jiang Yue nodded. He had not inquired about the true identity of this royal relative who had been traveling with him for a long time.

But considering his age and deeds, plus the fact that the other party has not yet been canonized...it is not difficult to guess.

The current emperor has few children. He has only a dozen or so children during his decades on the throne. The rest have all grown up and received titles, but this little princess is a little mysterious.

Perhaps because she was not born of a legitimate wife, or because royal family affection was weak, the little princess did not seem to be valued very much, and even when she fled, she only brought a noble entourage with her.

However, this has nothing to do with Jiang Yue. Since the escort trip has ended, the two should have no contact from now on.

"Okay, I remember."

After hearing the exact answer, Zhao Jiayin turned to the two soldiers and said, "Stand up."

The two men immediately understood and stood up, leading Zhao Jiayin to the horse that had been prepared long ago. After she sat down, the captain gave an order and the cavalrymen surrounded her and galloped towards the center of the city. The sounds of horse hooves intertwined into one, and the momentum was extraordinary.

"Is this the city guard?"

"How did you find so many people who are so similar... all the same height, weight and build, and their strengths are basically the same, all around the fifth realm."

After they left, Jiang Yue couldn't help but sigh, this team is really impressive.

They are all about ten feet tall, with bodies as broad as door panels, and powerful energy. I don't know how they found this group of people.

"It shouldn't be. The city guards have a total of one million people, and the selection criteria are not that strict. I'm afraid they are from a certain battalion of guards. However, I don't know much about Kyoto, so I don't know which battalion they are from."

After seeing Zhao Jiayin off, Miao Xingyu suddenly felt relieved. This trip was finally a success...

"Kyoto is complicated, and the official system is different from other places... For example, I have never heard of the Sky Patrolling Spirit Officer before."

Jiang Yue secretly took note of this cavalry and suddenly realized that the scenery here was very different.

The headquarters of various departments are all here, plus the city guards, the noble families, possible foreign relatives, and the royal family itself...

The complexity of the forces in Kyoto may far exceed that of any provincial capital.

However, Jiang Yue did not come here to get involved in this muddy water, and basically will not participate in these struggles.

Not long after that group of cavalry went away, another group arrived.

This time, someone finally showed up to greet them.

Although the few of them belonged to different forces, the giant sky boat they were riding on belonged to the Sky Patrol Department, so the people who were picking them up were naturally also from the Sky Patrol Department.

What Jiang Yue didn't expect was that there were more than a thousand people coming this time.

This specification is quite exaggerated... It is already comparable to the staff of a prefecture's Sky Patrol Department, worthy of being the Kyoto headquarters.

The leader was wearing gorgeous armor and a lion helmet inlaid with gems, and the feathers on both sides symbolized his special status.

This armor is obviously not a standard one, but its identity can be determined by the patterns on it.

Sky Patrol General!

If placed in a state, they would be at the same level as the generals, and each of them would have the strength to be crowned a king in the eighth realm.

It is said that there are three generals in the headquarters, all of whom are majestic and powerful.

Correspondingly, the headquarters of the Sky Patrol also has positions such as spiritual officials and military governors, all of whom have the strength to be crowned kings in the eighth realm, but have different responsibilities.

However, it is said that the position of Patrol Spirit Officer has been vacant for a long time, and I don’t know if it has anything to do with Master Xu Chong…

"The good men from the seventy-two states have gathered here today. I will welcome you all."

As the team came in front of the crowd, the Sky Patrol General stood still, with the feathers on his head shining, and slowly said: "My name is Zhao Jinghuan, everyone follow me."

After saying that, everyone bowed in unison, and they didn't seem to be at all stage frightened.

His surname is Zhao... I don't know if he has any relationship with the royal family, but it is normal for a descendant of a side branch to take up a position in the Sky Patrol Bureau. It is not a rare thing. Jiang Yue hurriedly caught up with the team and walked forward.

Kyoto covers a very large area, and even with the strength of a warrior it is impossible to tour the entire city in one day, but fortunately everyone already has a specific destination.

Along the way, some people were eager to speak out their questions, but in the end they held back.

In a building suspended in the air that looked more like a fortress than a tall building, Jiang Yue looked around and couldn't help but sigh that the spread of this technology was a little slow.

The upper thirty-six states and Kyoto had made great use of Shinto laws, but the lower states had no means of applying them at all.

Well...it could be due to material limitations, or the number of monks is too small to complete construction of this scale.

Of course, Jiang Yue was not the only one who was amazed at this moment.

But they were calm and composed and didn't show it.

After bringing them to a room isolated from outside interference, Zhao Jinghuan took a quick look and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "They are indeed some good talents."

"You should already know where we are going next. Since we are in Kyoto, I will make it clear."

"The duration and rules of each opening of the Immortal God Ruins are uncertain. This time, the candidates who can enter it seem to have to be under 30 years old..."

"Of course, there is another hard requirement, which you should know yourself."

"Only those who have obtained the Yunmeng Pearl can enter."

Before he finished speaking, several people were already looking at each other.

Of course, they are very clear about the rigid requirements mentioned by the other party.

But the matter of the Yunmeng Pearl can be said to have become the biggest secret in their hearts, and how could it be made public like this?
Although it was expected that there were other people who could get the beads, but to have them all gathered together in reality at the same time... they were a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Hahahahahaha…what's the big deal? After all, we've been together for such a long time, so we should be considered acquaintances, right? Why do you have to be so shy!"

Wang Qiwu spoke first, breaking the brief silence.

Su Jin on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he still felt strange in his heart, he was no longer on guard.

On second thought, they now had one more thing in common. Although it felt a bit strange, there was no need to worry too much.

"It's okay. The matter of Yunmeng Pearl cannot be told to those who don't have it. We can discuss it here without hesitation."

"You have already been screened for the two requirements, so don't worry about not being able to get in."

Seeing this, Zhao Jinghuan couldn't help but sigh with a smile, and then said:

"The Immortal God Ruins has been officially open for more than a month and may be closed at any time... According to the secret regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a maximum of 100 people can be sent to the Immortal God Ruins each time it is open. Before you, 78 people have already entered."

"After a short rest, we can set off."

in such a hurry?
This was the first thought that came to Jiang Yue's mind. After all, he heard that in previous years, he had to go through a selection process before he could enter. How could this time...

It seems that the royal family's appeal is not strong enough, and there are not that many people to be recruited. Maybe in the end, there are not even a hundred people who meet the requirements, so there is no need to go through any screening.

However, what surprised Jiang Yue was that the rule that the other party said that a maximum of 100 people could be sent in did not seem to be stipulated by the Immortal God Ruins itself, but...

The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Didn't the royal family want to find out something from this? Why did they come up with such a law to restrict themselves?

Maybe if a hundred people are sent out and there is no news, the situation may be different if thousands or tens of thousands of people are sent in.

Jiang Yue didn't believe that the group of people made these rules just to reduce personnel losses. In the face of sufficient benefits, this little loss was nothing.

As if seeing his doubts, Zhao Jinghuan looked at Jiang Yue and said, "The quota is not easy to come by... All the major forces are fighting for it, but the entrance to the Immortal God Ruins is so small that it will be packed if everyone goes there..."

"There are 200 places, and my Great Zhou can get half of them, which is already pretty good."

Jiang Yue was surprised when he heard this and asked in a lost voice: "What?"

For a moment, he thought he had heard it wrong.

The various powers were fighting... Aren't they all obeying the royal family? They were fighting for other places?
But after thinking about it, he immediately understood what the other party was referring to as "force".

"Thousand Demon Cave... Demon Emperor City... Evil Dragon..."

"On normal days, we may be able to draw a clear line and not interfere with each other, but the matters involving the Immortal God Ruins cannot be avoided, and the Great Zhou cannot take on all of them."

"So, danger is everywhere..."

Zhao Jinghuan sighed softly, not knowing whether he was lamenting that he had missed the opportunity or that these people were going to a dangerous place.

Jiang Yue had heard of these forces, but he didn't know much about their specific deeds. He only knew that the Thousand Demon Cave seemed to be within the territory of Da Zhou, but he didn't know there was such a relationship.

It's really complicated...it's really hard to sort out.

However, this is not important to the few people today.

The road ahead is unclear, you will only know if you try.

"So... where is the Immortal God Ruins?"

Lin Hengjiang, who had been silent for a long time, asked, his eyes full of anticipation.

It is said that as long as one can make it out alive, the rewards will be enough to enable a noble family to rise again, or to create a powerful person in the world.

As long as I can live...

"Of course it's right here."

Zhao Jinghuan said with a smile, which immediately surprised several people.

Right here? But isn't this a base of the Sky Patrol? It's clearly a fortress, with many personnel stationed there...

"I mean, right where Kyoto is."

"Every inch of land you walk on here is the burial place of the gods and immortals of the past."

"Well... to put it another way, today's Kyoto is built on the ruins of the gods and immortals in the past."

As soon as the words fell, several people immediately understood why they were gathered here.

Kyoto, built on the Guixu where the immortals and gods entered?

Although it is not surprising, it is still somewhat shocking to hear it with your own ears.

"To be precise, the Immortal God Ruins does not exist in a specific place. It seems that it does not belong to any space...so its exact __cpLocation has not been discovered for so many years."

"But every time it comes out, you need to use special means to summon it with the Yunmeng Pearl from any __cpLocation in Kyoto, and then you can enter it."

"But you must remember that this time you enter with your true body, so if you die, you will really die."

Zhao Jinghuan began to explain. Although everyone was still confused, they had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

"It seems to be an existence similar to the subspace, which is acceptable in this world. However, the way to enter is really simple. If we can develop a method of teleportation from it, the foundation of the Great Zhou can really be taken to a higher level..."

Jiang Yue suddenly realized, and at the same time, he became more curious about the previous dynasty.

The items exchanged in Yunmeng Tianxu can be obtained instantly. It is obvious that the previous dynasty has already fully developed this and even mastered the method of teleportation.

The Great Zhou Dynasty seems to have not yet mastered this method. I wonder if it is due to a technological gap...

But this is normal. In this world, some secret techniques are often only mastered by one person. Once that person dies, the secret technique will be lost.

"After entering the Immortal God Ruins, the outside world will no longer have any influence on you."

"But... since we haven't entered yet, we can provide some help."

As he spoke, Zhao Jinghuan clapped his hands, and the mechanisms in the room suddenly made sounds, and several secret compartments quietly opened.

"It contains elixirs, weapons, and armor. You can't bring mounts...otherwise I would have given them to you."

"Don't forget to bring healing and detoxifying supplies. If you have any other needs, I can help you solve them."

Jiang Yue looked up and saw that six Qiankun bags were already prepared. It seemed that supplies had been prepared in them, and the preparations were quite thoughtful.

In addition, there are weapons and armor to choose from, as well as some potentially useful materials.

There is no shortage of weapons, but Jiang Yue's previous gilded armor has been broken. Although the ones provided here are not equal, the defensive power is not bad.

Jiang Yue didn't pay much attention to protection nowadays. He only picked a red armor that could change at will. He was even more delighted when he learned that it could also conceal his body.

After carefully selecting some legal materials that might be useful, Jiang Yue asked, "I have a request. Can General Zhao agree to it?"

"But it doesn't matter."

Zhao Jinghuan waved his hand and said, since they were seeing him off, how could they be without the other party's things? The Sky Patrol would not be so stingy as to search.

"Do you have any wind and thunder? I want to swallow some and store it in my body. If you don't have any, just give me some time to summon them myself."

Jiang Yue thought about it and spoke slowly.

Although it is time to leave, I cannot do without practicing. Who knows if I can still communicate with the weather after entering the Immortal Ruins? I must prepare well in the outside world.

"what?"

Zhao Jinghuan was obviously a little surprised, but it was not easy to reject this request. After thinking for a while, he said, "Wait a moment, I'll get it for you."

As he spoke, he knocked lightly on the wall, and the isolation immediately disappeared. Then he picked up a token and called out softly, and soon someone entered the room.

"Electricize him."

Zhao Jinghuan stretched out his hand and pointed, and the man immediately understood, and bursts of electricity rose from his fingertips.

"Right, that is it!"

"Don't forget to bring some wind later... It would be best if it can break through the body's defenses and penetrate the bone marrow."

Jiang Yue was immediately delighted, and couldn't help but sigh that the Sky Patrol Department was great and could satisfy any request.

But this is only the Kyoto headquarters. If it were somewhere else, it might not be possible to find a high-level Shinto monk for the time being... maybe we have to borrow people from other departments.

After receiving the supplies and waiting for a while, everyone looked at each other and immediately made preparations.

"Remember, the Immortal God Ruins is vast, but if you meet someone from the Great Zhou... help them if you can."

"As for the rest, just follow your heart."

Zhao Jinghuan glanced at everyone again and said, "It's best to come back alive."
