Information asymmetry can lead to skewed thinking.

Even the incredibly intelligent Ye Boqi was currently scheming how to pull the thirty-year-old out of the vortex.

But he never imagined, nor could he have known, that things were not as he knew them to be.

However, as he ventured deeper into the realm and drew closer to the Central Ming Emperor's land, Ye Boqi clearly sensed a difference.

The closer one gets to the Central Ming Imperial Land, the heavier the aura between heaven and earth becomes.

It was so dense that even the spiritual energy scattered between heaven and earth became incredibly heavy, making it dozens of times more difficult to absorb into one's body than it would be in the Eastern Divine Land.

However, once absorbed into the body, the purity of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth astonished even Xiao Boqi.

This is the difference between the Imperial Land at the very center of the continent and the Divine Lands in the four directions—the difference in the level of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

As they drew closer to the Central Ming Imperial Land, Zhang Youzhao's aura began to slowly increase. By the time they reached an enormous barrier, Zhang Youzhao's aura was at least 50% stronger than it had been in the Vermilion Bird Divine Land.

It seems that when people from the Imperial Land go to the borderland of the Divine Land, their own strength will be suppressed by the entire world.

This enormous barrier was formed naturally by heaven and earth; passing through this enormous barrier means reaching the edge of the Zhongming Emperor's land.

In Zhang Youzhao's words, the main reason why people from the four divine lands cannot easily come to the Central Ming Emperor Land is this boundary barrier.

The boundary barriers are impossible to destroy by human power, and the few exits of the few boundary barriers are all guarded by the major super powers of the Imperial Land.

Without a pass token, no one outside the Imperial Land can set foot in the Imperial Land.

The exit they were heading towards was guarded by the Supreme Three Pure Ones Sect, a super power in the Imperial Land.

The reason for choosing this exit despite the long detour is that the other exit is guarded by the Misty Immortal Sect.

In Zhang Youzhao's words, he had a tiny bit of friction with the Misty Immortal Sect.

But looking at this guy's cheeky appearance, Xiao Boqi knew that his so-called minor friction was definitely not friction in the literal sense.

That's absolutely disgusting.

Upon reaching the boundary exit, Zhang Youzhao put away the boundary flying boat and then, with an aura completely different from that in the Vermilion Bird Divine Land, strode forward with his head held high.

At this moment, Zhang Youzhao was extremely refined, and his demeanor was that of a wealthy and elegant young master.

This made Xiao Boqi instantly understand why he was able to urinate in the same pot the first time he met Qin Feng.

Isn't this a typical second Yi Jiu?

He can switch between being lewd and righteous at will; one second he's all magnanimous and grand, the next he's acting like a jerk.

Just as Ye Boqi and his companion stepped off the flying boat, several people quickly approached.

"Who dares to trespass upon this imperial land? At once..."

Before the newcomer could finish speaking, Zhang Youzhao waved his hand, and a token shot rapidly toward the man.

If that person hadn't been skilled, he would have been smashed to pieces and coughed up blood by that token.

But after seeing the token, the man's fury vanished instantly.

"So it was Young Master Zhao. I was unaware of this for a moment. Please forgive me."

A person's name is like a tree's shadow; in the Eastern lands, nobody cares. But in the Central Plains, the three words "Zhang Youzhao" are an absolute gold standard.

After nodding slightly, Zhang Youzhao reached out and took back the token.

"Young Master Zhao, as you know, according to the rules of the boundary exit, anyone without a token must be registered and reported to all sects..."

This person is referring to Ye Boqi. People who are not from the Imperial Land are strictly monitored the moment they enter the Imperial Land, and their information is recorded and circulated among all forces.

This was done to ensure that those with ulterior motives who were causing harm to the imperial land could be exposed as quickly as possible.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Youzhao stood still with a gloomy expression.

"Do I need you to register the people I brought?"

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed.

"Not to mention you, even if Lin Beichen were here, it wouldn't work."

Lin Beichen is the most talented young person in the Supreme Three Pure Ones Sect. In the eyes of the people of the Imperial Land, Lin Beichen's talent and strength are even above those of the three Zhang brothers.

Upon hearing Zhang Youzhao's words, the people from the Supreme Three Pure Ones Sect immediately bowed and apologized.

Who is this person in front of me?

The third young master of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect is someone even their own top genius, Lin Beichen, avoids if possible.

It's not that we can't beat them, it's that the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect never plays one-on-one with you.

The idea of ​​a head-on confrontation to decide the outcome simply doesn't exist in the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect.

Offending them is tantamount to being targeted by countless people for endless revenge.

It goes on and on, with no end in sight.

Then, respectfully accompanied by this person from the Supreme Three Pure Ones Sect, Yi Boqi and Zhang Youzhao walked out of the boundary barrier.

However, just as Zhang Youzhao released another flying boat, the man from the Supreme Three Pure Ones Sect stepped forward with a complicated expression.

"Third Young Master, a few days ago, 100,000 Heavenly Slaughter Army soldiers of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty were annihilated at the entrance to the realm. It is said that... the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect was behind it. The Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty is currently dispatching a large number of people to search for them..."

This news surprised Xiao Boqi.

According to this person, the annihilation of the 100,000-strong Heavenly Slaughter Army of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty occurred precisely when he arrived at the Vermilion Bird Divine City.

And it was the Xuan Tian Xuan Dao Sect that made the move; if this is the case...

Before he could continue thinking about it, he heard Zhang Youzhao ask.

"Has anyone personally witnessed this being done by my Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect?"

The man quickly replied.

"No one saw it, but the people of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty examined the battlefield traces and discovered traces left by the unique techniques of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect..."

"Damn it, you dare to accuse my Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect of shit without even seeing it with your own eyes? You're asking for death, aren't you?"

He then waved his sleeve.

"Besides, you sons of bitches from the sects send spies and scouts into my house every day. You've stolen all my family's cultivation techniques and martial arts skills."

"So it must have been you bastards who framed the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect after you made the move. Damn it, I'll wipe you all out one day."

The people from the Supreme Three Pure Ones Sect stood there dumbfounded for a long time, watching the Third Young Master of the Zhang family ride away in his flying boat after he finished cursing.

Isn't this just being a fool?

I wanted to curry favor with Zhang Youzhao and remind him that the people from the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty were causing trouble for you.

Instead of succeeding in selling their skills, they ended up being accused of stealing the martial arts techniques and cultivation methods of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect.

Why don't you mention that the spies we sent were all turned by you, and that they used up all the martial arts techniques and skills of our sect in your inventory?

He then shook his head vigorously; none of the Zhang family members were normal.

Last time, a senior brother from the sect ran into Zhang Youchui and asked him for directions. The senior brother only thought about it for a moment before Zhang Youchui beat him up.

The reason given was that you'd been thinking about this for so long, you must be plotting to harm your Hammer Master.

I'll kill you.

Bah! I hope you run into some people from the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty soon, and that you get surrounded.

Even the people of the Supreme Three Pure Ones Sect did not expect that his casually uttered curse would lead to such a result.

It actually came true.
