Chapter 238: Entering the Secular World to Practice

Early the next morning.

When the light of dawn cuts through the gloomy sky.

One man and one horse galloped wildly, leaving the east gate of Yanyu City and heading straight to the southeast of Yunfeng Dynasty.

Sitting on the horse was a young man dressed in black, with a strong build and delicate features. The young man was carrying a bag on his back and a black gold dagger at his waist. He was full of energy and extraordinary temperament.

This person is none other than Zhao Heng.

After finishing his conversation with Muxuan yesterday, early this morning, he bid farewell to Muxuan and rushed to the imperial capital of the Yunfeng Dynasty, "Saint Yuan City".

Before leaving, Muxuan handed Zhao Heng a storage bag.

There are several items in the storage bag, including a golden waistband, a letter, a "phoenix-shaped jade pendant", and three hundred-year-old elixirs.

As Zhao Heng's master, Muxuan was very moved by Zhao Heng's act of sacrificing his life and offering treasures, so naturally she would not take advantage of him.

Those three yellow-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects are feedback to Zhao Heng.

Muxuan would have given him more if he hadn't thought that Zhao Heng was an acquired warrior and had no use for the spiritual things of heaven and earth.

And that golden waist badge was a token that only the inner disciples of the sect had. Muxuan gave it to Zhao Heng to facilitate his communication in the imperial capital.

Once traces of a demonic warrior are discovered and Zhao Heng cannot handle them, Muxuan can be informed via token summons.

Considering that Zhao Heng was an acquired warrior and had no divine consciousness, Muxuan deliberately left special restrictions on the token.

Zhao Heng can report remotely by the number of times he injects mysterious energy.

For example, injecting a burst of mysterious energy at once to activate the waist card means that everything is business as usual and you are safe.

Injecting two shares at one time means that something has been discovered and is being followed up.

Injecting three strands at once is a signal to find traces of the demonic warrior and request support.

These are the secret codes agreed upon by the two masters and disciples in advance.

Of course, in fact, Zhao Heng can completely use his spiritual consciousness to communicate, but it cannot be exposed.

In addition, the phoenix-shaped jade pendant was Muxuan's token to Zhao Heng.

Specifically, it has two functions. One is to use it as a token to identify each other when meeting the "connector" after going to Saint Yuan City.

Another function is to request "foreign aid."

Zhao Heng is the "special secret line" sent by Muxuan to the imperial capital and has a single line of contact with Muxuan.

But previously in the Yunfeng Dynasty, the Yuhua Sect had also laid out some ordinary secret lines. They were all spies who monitored the secular world and collected intelligence information for the Yuhua Sect.

Muxuan was worried that Zhao Heng would not be able to send people to help him in time when he encountered danger or difficulty.

Therefore, as long as Zhao Heng injects mysterious energy into the jade pendant, he can contact a powerful secret agent operating near the imperial capital and bring him timely help or information.

And the last letter is also very important.

Above is the information about the people he protected after his trip to Saint Yuan City, as well as the time and place of the meeting.

Riding on horseback, Zhao Heng tore open the envelope and read the contents at will.

When he saw the direct descendant of the Mu family, the first target he wanted to protect, he was stunned.

"Mu Rouzhao, the eldest daughter of the Imperial Duke's Palace, the wife of Emperor Haoyuan, and the current queen."

Zhao Heng was stunned for a while. He heard from his master yesterday that the Mu family had a prominent family background and was very noble in the secular world, but he did not expect that they were so noble.

The eldest daughter of a duke and the current queen, she must be the pinnacle of power in the secular world.

Although he was surprised, Zhao Heng quickly calmed down.

This world is not like the ancient world where imperial power was supreme.

The royal family is actually just the spokesperson of the sect in charge of the secular world, acting as the steward of the back garden.

Otherwise, there would be no crisis, and he would still need the protection of his seemingly half-step innate warrior.

Although I received this special task temporarily, it was different from my previous plan.

But after all, they were out of the dangerous border area, and Zhao Heng's mood rarely relaxed.

Because he now has to maintain his status as an "acquired warrior" and is unable to fly with a weapon.

Zhao Heng then rode a good horse and headed southeast of the Yunfeng Dynasty.

Traveling in the morning and sleeping at night, sometimes staying in the city, sometimes eating in the wind and dew, using the heaven and the earth as their seats.

In the wild, I meditate and practice. When I enter the city, I will wander around the bustling places in the city, taste specialties, listen to ditties, watch tricks... just like a single traveler, quite leisurely.

Of course, during this period, he also encountered bandits, thieves, and warlocks...

There was even a plump woman who pretended to be a good woman, seducing him in the suburbs of the city and trying to "fight" with him in the wild. In fact, he actually joined forces with his accomplices hiding in the dark to play an "ancient version of the Immortal Dance".

With Zhao Hengden's status as a master in the heavenly realm and his divine perception from a God's perspective, these tricks of the trade are naturally not worth mentioning in front of him.

He is like the light of righteousness shining on this earth. According to the sins of these people, he treats them in his own way.

To those bandits who killed people and robbed goods, Zhao Heng gave them the opportunity to be "reincarnated and transformed" for free.

Thieves who steal will lose more property inexplicably.

When charlatans make a fool of themselves, all their deceptions fail for no apparent reason, and they may even harm themselves and lose their ability to deceive.

As for the woman who played fairy dance and harmed countless "hot-blooded youths".

Zhao Heng directly pretended to be a robber, pulled out a black gold dagger, knocked out her accomplice, and asked her to perform a "gangster dance" for him on the spot.

Then he used the spirit-taking technique to control the woman's thinking, causing her to have the illusion of being robbed by robbers, suffering all kinds of torture and humiliation, and suffering unspeakably.

Finally, he tore her clothes, faked the scene, and walked away.

When the woman woke up, she saw the horrible scene, and with the painful memories in her mind, she would never dare to play the honey trap again in her life.

However, as Zhao Heng got closer to the central part of the Yunfeng Dynasty, this situation occurred less and less.

The villages, towns and cities he passed by became more and more prosperous, with dense populations and abundant products, and gradually had the scene of the prosperity of the dynasty.

It took more than a month to walk like this, and Zhao Heng went from being out of place at the beginning.

Now, he feels that he has gradually integrated into the secular world, and his mentality has changed, becoming more and more safe and leisurely.

This state of mind is an experience he has never had when he was surviving in the gap between the righteous and the evil in the cultivation world.

Zhao Heng was originally a little worried that he would become lazy and affect his cultivation.

But he unexpectedly found that his cultivation progress was faster than usual.

Even on the way, he accidentally tried and actually realized the second level of the Wandering Dragon Exploring the Clouds Step, "Wandering Clouds Shocking Dragon".

Zhao Heng was surprised, but also had some enlightenment.

The Ascension Realm is indeed different from the acquired warriors. The effect of blindly practicing is limited.

Instead, you need to relax and practice in the perception to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

With this achievement, Zhao Heng's state of mind became more stable, and he was more looking forward to this trip to the imperial capital.

Maybe practicing in this secular world can bring him unexpected gains.

Zhao Heng continued to move southeast for several days and finally approached his destination, the imperial capital of the Yunfeng Dynasty, "Shengyuan City".

In the suburbs more than ten miles away from Shengyuan City.

Zhao Heng turned his horse's head and went to a high mountain in the southwest first.

Because the place where Zhao Heng met the contact person was on the high mountain, a temple called "Shoufo Temple".

Zhao Heng stayed in an inn at the foot of the mountain for three days.

On the morning of the fourth day, he washed up, put on a blue shirt, slung a sword around his waist, and carried a bag on his back.

Like a knight-errant, he climbed up the mountain along the mountain road and finally saw the temple on the top of the mountain.

The temple was quite large, with red walls and green tiles, continuous halls, and a tall and wide mountain gate.

On the front, a golden plaque was inscribed with three vigorous and powerful characters "Shoufu Temple", and on one side there was a royal seal and the words "imperial construction".

The sound of chanting in Sanskrit in the temple was endless, and the incense was burning.

Outside the temple, along the high walls on both sides, there were inscriptions and poems on the stone walls.

They were all from famous talented scholars of the time, or peerless articles written by thousands of people.

At this time, it was noon, and many people came to Shoufo Temple to burn incense and fulfill their wishes.

Most of the men and women were dressed in luxurious clothes and had a dignified demeanor. It was worthy of being a temple near the imperial capital, and all the people coming in and out were wealthy families.

Seeing that the meeting time had not yet arrived, Zhao Heng did not rush into the temple.

Instead, outside the temple, around the stone wall, looking at the poems and articles on the stone wall.

Zhao Heng held a curious attitude, browsed through it, but shook his head secretly.

The poems and articles on the stone wall are indeed extraordinary, worthy of being masterpieces, and there are even a few handed down works.

It’s a pity that compared with his own world, the famous works and brilliant classics left by the ancients are still far behind.

The literary level of the two worlds is obviously not at the same level. It seems that the literary literacy of the Yunfeng Dynasty needs to be improved.

Zhao Heng wandered outside the temple for a while, and suddenly heard the bell in the temple.

"Dong Dong Dong...!"

The bell rang nine times in a row.

At the end, after a while, it rang again gently.

The pilgrims around thought that the monk who rang the bell accidentally knocked it a little more, which was not surprising.

But Zhao Heng's eyes flickered slightly, knowing that this was a signal sent to him by the contact person.

The other party has arrived.

He immediately stepped and walked into the gate of the temple...
