I Hang Up In the Fantasy World

astral world,

A vast expanse of territory.

Obviously, the wheels of progress will not be stopped just because of one person's retreat.

Rather, after Zhang Yi retreated, the star world became more lively than before.

Acacia sect,

A powerful sect that was destroyed by all the sects together countless years ago.

The forces that are second only to the seven superpowers with detached status.

Now, it has been revived, like a spark burning like a prairie fire on the land of the star realm.

Just a few years after Zhang Yi retreated, the secret books about the predatory exercises of the Hehuan Sect were quietly spread around the star world, causing great confusion immediately.

Practicing this technique, one can plunder a person's energy and transform it into a god, so as to quickly improve one's cultivation.

And this technique can also ignore talents and various resources, which is too tempting for ordinary warriors.

For a while, countless warriors practiced this technique secretly.

Either an unsatisfactory disciple of the sect, or a casual cultivator with no hope of future, or an ordinary warrior with ambition in his heart.

Undercurrents surged in the star world, like a ignited powder keg, and everyone felt an unusual aura.

The members of the Hehuan Sect did not move out.

They just left countless copies of plundering exercises in various parts of the star realm, which caused part of the mid-level and high-level warriors in the star realm to shatter on their own.

With the spread of this magical secret book in the star world, the number of deaths of middle and high-level warriors in the mysterious realm has risen exponentially!

Most warriors are ambitious.

There is no one who does not yearn for a higher realm, and no one does not yearn for a longer lifespan.

And this magic skill gave them a chance to achieve their goals.

A real, brutal opportunity.

For a while, all the major sect forces were troubled.

Although the major forces have joined forces to suppress warriors who practice this technique, the wildfire is endless, and the spring breeze is blowing again, so the effect is weak.

And the Hehuan Sect, which was secretly fueling the flames, also continued to lurk in the dark, not giving the slightest chance of being uprooted by the major sects.

However, the seven superpowers aloft did not move at all, just sitting and watching the development of the situation, just like countless years ago, watching the growth of the Acacia Sect, and finally being wiped out by joint efforts.

Zhang Yi chose to retreat at this moment, but he avoided this troubled time and went ashore early from this chaotic vortex.

five years later,

On the top of Luoyun Peak, it was raining continuously and the air was moist.

Under the big tree, Zhang Yi, who was dressed in Tsing Yi, frowned and looked at the token in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

His Rose Merchant League Keqing Token is hot, and there is news coming from it.

"Could it be that the Rose Merchant Alliance has encountered a difficult matter and needs Elder Ke Qing's help?"

Zhang Yi frowned and thought.

"But I have only been an elder guest of the Rose Merchant Alliance for five or six years, so I need to take action? Are events at the first level of the heavenly realm so frequent?"

"Or is it that the current star world is in an eventful period, so the frequency of various events has increased significantly?"

After Zhang Yi thought for a long time, he shook his head, "Forget it, let's ignore it for now."

"I've only just retreated for a short time, and my cultivation has only improved a little. It's not safe to go out at this moment."

"Besides, the Rose Merchant Alliance's treatment of elders is to revoke their status after rejecting them three times in a row. This is the first time for me, so it doesn't matter."

Thinking about it, Zhang Yi simply took this opportunity to go to Qingfeng City to spend more than ten days with his parents, and then returned to Qingyunzong to continue the retreat.

And he also got a message not long after:

Dalizong was exterminated!

Dalizong, the first-class sect in the Raging Fire Nation is second only to the five major forces. Its suzerain is a warrior in the late stage of the realm, and there are three masters of the realm under the sect. There are nearly a thousand disciples in the sect. Extinct.

"Is this why the Rose Merchant Alliance notified me?"

"A sect with a martial artist in the late stage of the realm is exterminated, and only a warrior of the heaven realm is eligible to investigate, and I happen to be from the Raging Fire Nation, so the Rose Merchant Alliance will send me a message."

There is understanding in Zhang Yi's eyes.

It turned out that this was the troublesome matter that the Rose Merchant Alliance asked him to deal with.

"But why does it feel like the star world is getting more and more chaotic, a sect has been wiped out."

Zhang Yi shook his head and sighed, "I feel that even the cultivation base of the Heaven Realm is not too safe, the Star Realm is too chaotic now!"

"How to relieve worries? The only way is to continue to retreat and practice!"

This incident is just one of many that are unfolding across the Astral Plane.

It's just that this time it happened in the kingdom where Zhang Yi was, so Zhang Yi had some experience.

at this time,

Faced with such a chaotic situation, Zhang Yi chose to continue retreating.

...

Another few years passed.

At this time, it was already the thirteenth year of Zhang Yi's retreat.

Zhang Yi's cultivation has reached the peak of the early days of the Heaven Realm!

After catching up with Nan Lian from Water Shadow Sect and Peng Yue from Extreme Yin Sect.

And this year, Zhang Yi went out again and came to Liangting to discuss with Ye Tao the follow-up development of Qingyun Sect.

Inside Qingyunzong Garden.

There are many schools of fish swimming in the clear water, and there is a corridor built above the water surface, with a small gazebo in the middle.

There are two people sitting opposite each other.

One person is plump and handsome, with white clothes like snow and gentle temperament, it is Zhang Yi.

The other person, who looked like a middle-aged man and was plainly dressed, was Ye Tao.

At this time, inside the gazebo, Ye Tao took a serious look at Zhang Yi, with surprise in his eyes.

The current Zhang Yi seems to have improved compared to before.

You know, this is not the profound realm, but the heavenly realm!

But Zhang Yi still made a breakthrough in just over ten years, which can only be called terrible.

Immediately, the surprise in Ye Tao's eyes disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Yi is a member of Qingyun Sect, the stronger his talent, the higher his cultivation level, which is also a good thing for Qingyun Sect.

"Zhang Yi, right now the various places are in turmoil, and even the various forces in the Raging Fire Nation are gradually warming up, with constant friction. In your opinion, what should Qing Yunzong do next?"

Ye Tao asked.

"The general trend is unshakable."

"Although we can protect ourselves in the whirlpool, it is inevitable that our clothes will be wet by the current."

Zhang Yi said calmly.

"You mean to keep it as it is?" Ye Tao asked with a frown.

"No."

Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "Chaos is also an opportunity. The more uncertain the situation is, the more profitable it will be."

"With the help of the chaos ignited by the Acacia Sect, although the Star Realm is suppressing it on the surface, there are still some forces that add fuel to the fire, trying to use this chaotic situation to seek their own interests."

"There are also some sect forces taking this opportunity to attack the hostile forces."

"Since my Qing Yunzong will inevitably be affected, instead of taking advantage of others, it is better to take the initiative to deal with it. In this way, the danger can also be minimized."

"After all, Qing Yunzong is also the strongest force in Raging Fire Nation, and we have enough confidence."

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Ye Tao nodded, agreeing very much, and then asked, "What should I do specifically?"

Zhang Yi calmly talked about his general thoughts.

"I suggest that we can increase the resource investment of our sect in these years, and use this chaotic situation to sharpen them. In this way, in the future, our sect may have more land warriors."

"Use this situation to sharpen the disciples of the sect?"

Ye Tao's eyes lit up, and he said, "As expected of you, it's a good idea."

Zhang Yi went on to say, "Of course, I just raised an idea. Let's leave it to Mo Tianxin to plan the specifics. After all, he is the person who is most familiar with the sect."

Ye Tao nodded, "Alright, I will inform him later and ask him to draw up a schedule."

Zhang Yi nodded, and after the two talked, Qing Yunzong's follow-up actions were settled.

At this time, Zhang Yi felt a little rejoiced.

Fortunately, he moved the Zhang family to Qingfeng City before retreating.

This place is close to Qingyun Sect, so there is enough security, otherwise, it would really be a headache for him.

"Why don't we have a sparring match?"

In the gazebo, Ye Tao suddenly said that he wanted to try Zhang Yi's progress over the years.

Zhang Yi quickly waved his hand and replied, "Old Ye, forget it, how can I beat you."

He doesn't want to be abused.

Although he has reached the peak of the early days of the Heavenly Realm, his artistic conception of martial arts has not yet been strengthened, and his combat effectiveness is still weak.

Elder Ye, on the other hand, has entered the Heaven Realm for many years. Although he failed to break through the middle stage of the Heaven Realm, his overall strength is still very good.

Compared with Zhang Yi, it will take a few more years.

At that time, he can rely on the investment of system practice points to securely defeat the veteran powerhouses in the early stage of the sky realm, and even the peak in the early stage.

"It's okay, I said it's a sparring."

Ye Tao said with a smile.

Zhang Yi had no choice but to say, "Then let's go as far as we can, you can't play tricks just because you lost to me in chess."

Hearing Zhang Yi say this, Ye Tao's eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of his mouth became brighter.

Then, two beams of light swept into the endless mountains.

Then, there was a strong wave of fighting that swept away in all directions, and all the monsters in that area scattered and fled.

After a long time, Zhang Yi flew out of the billowing smoke and dust with a dark face, and he could faintly see big footprints on his white clothes.

"hateful!"

"Revenge, this must be revenge!" Zhang Yi clenched his hands, his face full of unwillingness.

"I remember this kick!"

"Wait until the day when I will achieve great success."

After this friendship discussion, Mo Tianxin was called over, while Zhang Yi and Ye Tao waved their hands, and after telling Mo Tianxin some ideas, they stopped interfering, and just said that they would wait for the plan to come out. The two looked over.

in this way,

A month later, Qing Yunzong changed some of the usual rules, such as encouraging disciples to go out to experience more, such as increasing the types of resources that the sect's contribution can be exchanged for, and so on.

Under the new regulations, the young warriors of Qing Yunzong entered this turbulent outside world one after another, some fell, while others grew rapidly!

And Zhang Yi continued to retreat after being beaten up, so many years passed.

...

Time is like running water. At this time, it is already the twenty-first year of Zhang Yi's retreat.

Zhang Yi put all the practice points accumulated over the years into the realm column on this day.

system:

Realm of practice: the peak of the early stage of heaven (50w/50w)

[Meet the breakthrough conditions, whether to break through, the breakthrough success rate is 100%]

【yes! 】

Zhang Yi's body, with the click breakthrough, suddenly produced earth-shaking changes.

There was a strong wind howling in the sky above Zhenyuan Lake, and the violent thunder force was constantly tilting down, and Zhenyuan Lake suddenly set off monstrous waves.

In the nothingness, a wave of extremely pure energy was generated out of thin air in Zhang Yi's body, and then poured into Zhang Yi's true essence lake almost like a flood.

The area of ​​the entire lake suddenly expanded rapidly.

At the same time as the area of ​​Zhenyuan Lake expanded, an extremely full energy also quietly spread to Zhang Yi's limbs and bones.

That is the feeling of power!

That's a new, more powerful force!

"Middle stage of the Heaven Realm!"

Feeling the sudden changes in his body, Zhang Yi felt a sense of surprise and excitement in his heart. After 21 years of painstaking practice, he finally successfully broke through to the middle stage of heaven!

When the older generation of warriors broke through the heavenly realm and their progress in cultivation became extremely slow, Zhang Yi came from behind and completed the breakthrough first!

In terms of realm, Zhang Yi at this time has already surpassed the Supreme Elder Ye Tao.

Due to the greater gap between the small realms of the heavenly realm, Zhang Yi is already a warrior who can use a higher level of cultivation to forcefully suppress the early stage of the heavenly realm.

But Zhang Yi was not satisfied.

This time the retreat has not yet come to an end, and he still has room to improve his strength.

Above Luoyun Peak, Zhang Yi's eyes flickered and he murmured.

"A breakthrough has been made in terms of realm, and the next step is to improve the sword intent."

"When the realm was perfect, I had 50% of my sword intent, but now in the middle of the heaven realm, my sword intent is still 50%."

"The former advantage has become a short board, now, it's time to make up for the short board!"

Thoughts turn.

Zhang Yi got up and left the secret room.

As the saying goes, too much is too late.

The only way to practice is to combine work and rest.

Although Zhang Yi wants to make up for his shortcomings, he still has to wait a little longer. For now, he should take a good rest for a few months and enjoy the beauty of life, so as to reward himself for being so hardworking.

Zhang Yi walked out of the small courtyard and came to the grassland of Luoyun Peak, in front of him was a Butterfly Calling Tree.

At this time, there is a wind blowing, and amidst the rustling sound, the leaves of the Butterfly Tree keep shaking, just like butterflies dancing.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yi's mood improved even more.

"Little Lord."

At this time, Zhang Lei who was practicing martial arts at the side saw Zhang Yi, walked over and said respectfully.

Zhang Yi smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhang Lei seriously.

This kid has stayed on Luoyun Peak since he broke through the realm.

Zhang Yi was 70 years old at the time, but now he is over 120 years old. At this time, when he recalled, he found that the two had known each other for 50 years.

"How are you practicing?"

Zhang Yi asked.

"I just learned a new martial art recently." Zhang Lei replied.

"Martial arts?"

Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Lei's Dzogchen cultivation in the Xuan Realm, frowned, and asked, "How long have you been stuck in the Dzogchen Profound Realm?"

Could it be that the young master is dissatisfied with his progress in practice? Zhang Lei's heart skipped a beat, and he stammered, "It's been more than ten years."

"Ten years."

Zhang Yi pondered for a few seconds, then looked at Zhang Lei and said.

"You go to the deacon of the sect and ask for a breakthrough pill, just say that I let you take it."

"Break through the realm, you must be cautious, and only break through after you are fully prepared, do you understand?"

Zhang Lei froze on the spot for a while, and then bowed his head with a flushed face after a few seconds, "Thank you, young master, thank you, young master."

Zhang Yi waved his hand, and then walked away.

As far as he is concerned, this matter is nothing more than a little effort. Anyway, he has just broken through the middle stage of the heaven realm, and he is in a good mood.

Seven or eight minutes later, Zhang Yi came to the sky above a towering city.

The city extends in all directions, and the people coming and going are very lively, and many of the people who come and go have real energy fluctuations all over their bodies, and they are obviously warriors.

This is Qingfeng City, Zhang Jiaxin's foothold.

Zhang Yi landed on the ground and walked in along the crowd without attracting anyone's attention, as if he was just an ordinary handsome boy.

"Selling pancakes! Selling pancakes! Fragrant and crispy pancakes!"

"Candied haws, candied haws! Only five cents a bunch!"

Zhang Yi was walking on the street, with an honest voice yelling in his ears, and when he looked forward, he found that the yelling person had been surrounded by many children.

On the side is a small noodle shop. It was approaching noon at this time, and naturally there were many people staying in the shop.

"Come on, have a drink."

At a small table, there were four naked men next door. They were dressed in linen clothes and dirty all over. They were wall builders of Qingfeng City.

At this time, their foreheads were covered with sweat, and they were eating small noodles while drinking wine in large bowls. They chatted quite loudly, causing other people in the store to complain.

Zhang Yi walked,

Walking on the streets of Qingfeng City, while walking, he quietly felt the lively atmosphere around him.

He likes this atmosphere very much.

Before he knew it, Zhang Yi came to a small restaurant.

The location here is a bit remote, and no one is seated yet. After thinking about it, Zhang Yi stepped in.

"Guest officer, please sit down."

As soon as he walked in, a man with a vicissitudes of life came out to greet him with a smile.

Zhang Yi randomly found a place to sit down.

Of course, in fact, there are only four or five tables in this small restaurant.

"Young master, what do you want to eat? All the dishes here have a special taste."

said the man.

Zhang Yi casually clicked a few words, "That's all."

"Yes, son, wait a moment."

Afterwards, the man left, and Zhang Yi looked over and found that there was still a child in the kitchen.

He looks about ten years old and is helping with simple chores.

After a while, all the dishes Zhang Yi ordered were served.

Zhang Yi ate quietly, and suddenly asked, "Shopkeeper, isn't it said that the Qingfeng City was not controlled by the Yuan family before? Why did it change to the Zhang family?"

"hehe."

The man smiled plainly, "Young master, you are asking the right person. If you are an ordinary young man, you may not know this history."

"I lived in Qingfeng City since I was a child, and I also heard about the drastic changes in Qingfeng City at that time."

"oh?"

Zhang Yi opened his mouth pretending to be puzzled, and the man continued.

"According to everyone's rumors, the reason for this is that an elder in the Qingyun Sect fell in love with Qingfeng City, so he took it from the Yuan family and moved his family here."

Zhang Yi asked, "Is there such a thing?"

"That's right, I dare not deceive my lord." The shopkeeper said hastily.

Zhang Yi just nodded.

And the shopkeeper went on to say, "At first, I thought something bad was going to happen."

"After all, the competition between warriors is generally not easy for ordinary people like us, but the handover between the two families went quite smoothly and did not cause any commotion."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper had a smile on his face, "Since the Zhang family took over Qingfeng City, the lives of ordinary people like us have improved a lot."

"You have to know that in the past, when ordinary people like us were doing business, if we met warriors with a bad temper or a little bit of dissatisfaction, we would directly attack them."

"But now, the use of force is prohibited in the entire Qingfeng City, but those warriors have a lot of rules."

Zhang Yi nodded, he naturally knew about it.

This rule was not made by him, but by Mo Tianxin. After all, Zhang Yi gave him full power to be responsible, but this proposal was implemented only after Zhang Yi's consent.

After all, Qingfeng City is the headquarters of the Zhang family, so Zhang Yi naturally does not want any disturbances.

And his strength also has this capital.

When Qingfeng City first established this rule, there were indeed warriors making trouble, but soon the troublemakers paid the corresponding price.

Afterwards, several warriors made troubles, and they were all dealt with. In this way, the rules of Qingfeng City were truly established.

And now, twenty years have passed, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

Of course, Zhang Yi didn't take action against those who caused trouble in Qingfeng City, but the Zhang family took action to solve it themselves. If the Zhang family couldn't handle it, it would be the elders of Qingyun Sect.

After all, it is too close to Qingyun Sect.

And Zhang Yi is the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect, and the Qingyun Sect has taken great care of the Zhang family.

After finishing the meal, Zhang Yi left the shop and returned to Zhang's mansion soon.

The Zhang Mansion is also the city lord's mansion.

At this time, Zhang Chen was not only the Patriarch of the Zhang Family, but also the City Master of Qingfeng City.

Zhang Yi returned to Zhang's mansion, and after inquiring about it, he learned that his parents were receiving guests in the reception hall, so he didn't go there, but returned to his small courtyard.

Ten minutes later, the figures of the parents appeared.

It seems that after learning about Zhang Yi's news, the meeting was quickly ended.

At this time, Zhang Chen and Lin Wanqing had already eaten the two Zhuyan Pills that Zhang Yi took from the secret treasure house, and their appearances were fixed in their middle-aged appearance.

"Father, who was that in the living room just now?"

Zhang Yi asked curiously.

"The ancient family, one of the big families of the Raging Fire Nation, said that they want to establish a stronghold in this city to facilitate the supply in the endless mountains." Zhang Chen replied.

"oh."

Zhang Yi nodded, and then lost interest.

This big family in the Raging Fire Nation is at best in the early and middle stage of the realm, and occasionally a late stage is considered good, which is far behind the Qin family in the land of Lei Ze.

"What about you? Why are you coming back this time?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I've made some progress in my practice, so I'll recharge my batteries when I come back. After all, it's not appropriate to keep practicing in closed doors," Zhang Yi said.

"Now that you're back, let's rest for a while longer." Lin Wanqing came over and said softly.

Zhang Yi smiled and nodded.

...

While Zhang Yi was resting at home, a piece of news spread across the entire Fire Nation like a hurricane, and was passed on by word of mouth among countless warriors.

Naturally, it also attracted Zhang Yi's attention:

Jiang Jue, the owner of Feijian Mountain Villa, a master of heaven with the reputation of star swordsman, was severely injured on the way back to the Raging Fire Nation from the Central Territory!

"WTF."

"The owner of Feijian Villa has been attacked!"

Zhang Yi, who was resting, frowned and hurried back to Qing Yunzong.

soon,

He met Ye Tao.

"You are in such a hurry, is it because of the Feijian Villa?" Ye Tao looked at Zhang Yi and asked.

"It's natural. How could Jiang Jue be attacked? After all, he is also a warrior in the heavenly realm. Could it be that the Hehuan Sect made the move?" Zhang Yi guessed.

"what are you thinking?"

"Anyway, he is also a warrior of the heavenly realm, even the Hehuan Sect can't deal with it easily.

Ye Tao said angrily.

"The martial artist who attacked Jiang Jue is called Zuoqiu Changsheng, and he is also a martial artist in the Heaven Realm. He has a grudge with Jiang Jue."

"Well, to put it simply, they pursued the same woman when they were young."

Zhang Yi blinked.

Is it because of the youth factor of dog blood?

"Then Zuoqiu Changsheng set up an ambush on the way back, and Jiang Jue fell into the opponent's scheme without noticing for a while, so he was severely injured."

"However, Jiang Jue's strength is really good. Even though he had already fallen into a trap, he still killed him and fled back to Feijian Villa."

"Now the disciples of Feijian Villa are afraid that they will be broken, and they drive the guardian array all day long." Ye Tao said with a smile.

Zhang Yi nodded, it turned out to be the case.

On the contrary, he thought too much, thinking about everything to the Hehuan Sect.

After getting the truth, Zhang Yi didn't stay too long.

However, he did not return to Qingfeng City, but to Luoyun Peak.

"Fine."

"I wanted to rest for half a year, but now I only rested for four months and came back early."

"Oh, that's all, let's continue to retreat."

Thinking about it, Zhang Yi closed his eyes, and went on this long journey of retreat.

Brothers, very sincerely,
