There is a barrier outside the Tianzhou as a protective shield, so they will not fall down.

So where did they go? Shen Yizhi was really puzzled.

It was Gu Xueting who guessed it instantly.

"Zhizhi, don't worry, Qingbao and the others are fine."

Gu Xueting hugged her and patted her back.

"Do you know something?"

Luo Yaoyao and Zhang Lingche also stared at him closely.

Now that Zhang Lingche's identity was known and he was no longer an outsider, Gu Xueting told him about his previous experience in the small space.

Finally, he said, "I think Qingbao should have brought Yuanbao and Nian Nian into that small space."

After hearing this, Shen Yizhi really didn't know what expression to make.

My son is truly a darling of heaven. He picked up a small space for free when he went out, worshipped a Mahayana master, and inherited countless legacies from his master.

It's like getting rich overnight.

If this wasn't her own son, she would have been envious and jealous.

But these are not the main points, the main point is——

The reason why the spiritual energy in the Tianyuan Realm is so thin is that someone has set up a Nine Dragons Sky Covering Formation?! Even the way of heaven has been deceived?

This guy who arranged the formation is really awesome.

As a victim affected by the incident, she couldn't even feel any resentment.

It's simple. She is just one of the ordinary people, and there is a galaxy between her and that big guy.

The gap was so huge, how could she feel resentful? Shen Yizhi asked: "Is there any way to break this formation?"

If they are constantly suppressed by the formation, they can only cultivate to the foundation-building stage at best, and their lifespan will increase only to a limited extent.

How could she accept this?

If she had never been exposed to the cultivation of immortals, she would have been content to be a mortal and spend her short life. But now that she had embarked on the path of cultivation, she naturally wanted to go further and enter a higher realm.

To restore the youth to the white, to live forever, to break the void, to seek the great way! This is probably the eternal pursuit of every immortal cultivator.

But now, this Nine Dragons Sky Covering Formation has forcibly blocked the way for all of them.

After asking that question, Shen Yizhi felt frustrated. How easy is it to break the formation? Otherwise, this formation would not have existed for so long.

However, Zhang Lingche gave her a positive answer: "The formation can be set up, so it can be broken. However, it is very difficult, very difficult."

"How to break it?" Shen Yizi asked.

Zhang Lingche did not answer but asked: "Do you know why your father was trapped on Kunling Island?"

Aren't we talking about how to break the Nine Dragons Sky Covering Formation? Why did the topic suddenly turn to this?

Suddenly, Shen Yizhi realized a possibility: "Could it be related to this sky-covering formation?"

"That's right. Your father once held a very important position in the Qingyuan Realm. Even Qingbao's master was just a junior in front of him. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened later, and he was forced to fall into the Tianyuan Realm."

A hint of hatred flashed across Zhang Lingche's eyes.

"Your father also discovered the existence of the Heaven Covering Formation, and destroyed a formation center with one move. That formation center is located on Kunling Island in Qiandao Lake. But he didn't expect that this Heaven Covering Formation is far more powerful than he expected.

"After the center of the formation was broken, not only was the formation not broken, but it also trapped him in place, sucking spiritual energy from him all the time."

"What? After so many years, my father must have—"

Even though her father was once very strong, he couldn't withstand the suction of the formation.

Zhang Lingche patted her hand, "Don't worry, your father can still hold on. He reacted quickly. After being imprisoned by the formation, he immediately made a contract with a conch spirit. Then, he used the conch to absorb incense near Qiandao Lake and strengthened himself through the power of people's faith. Between this in and out, he barely achieved a balance."

Incense? This word is not unfamiliar to Shen Yizhi.

She remembered reading in the Investiture of the Gods in her previous life that after Nezha had his bones cut and his flesh returned to his biological parents, he appeared in a dream to his mother, asking her to build a temple to help him gather the people's incense and worship, so as to solidify his soul and reshape his body.

The gods and immortals in the book, such as Nuwa, also need to absorb the power of people's faith.

It can be seen that incense is a very high-end power.

If spiritual power is a kind of power that can be controlled and mastered, then the power of faith coming from incense seems very illusory.

But this power is obviously useful and powerful.

After listening to Shen Yizhi's interpretation, Zhang Lingche nodded: "Yes, incense is a kind of wish power gathered from people's hearts. In this world, the spiritual energy is thin, and it is hopeless to use it to practice. You can only turn to practice something else. In fact, it's not just your father. Many cultivators from Qingyuan Realm are thinking about incense.

"For example, Rong Xian'er from the Immortal Doctor Sect, do you think she is really so kind as to save the people for free? Isn't she just trying to get people to worship her and offer incense to her? And Chu Yunkong, Changfeng from the Yunchan Temple...

"Although the incense can't increase the cultivator's cultivation, the benefits are self-evident. However, it's not so easy to absorb the incense. First of all, the people in this world are all under the rule of the Tianyuan Empire. If the people worship privately without official permission, they will be regarded as evil gods and cults by the official authorities and will be suppressed."

Shen Yizhi understood that one must have an official background. For example, the National Master was a worshiper of the royal family, and Master Changfeng was a Buddhist. Buddhism was widely spread in the Tianyuan Empire.

The Immortal Doctor Sect is doing good things to treat the people, so the authorities will naturally not stop it.

"Secondly, you need to make the people willing to worship you, so that you can generate the power of will. To do this is both difficult and easy. The conch spirit that your father contracted is a lake god that protects the area. It has saved the people from danger many times, allowing the people living in Qiandao Lake to live and work in peace and contentment, without being harassed by the waves or the monsters in the lake. That's why it is worshipped by the people."

At this point, the topic of incense was almost over. Zhang Lingche returned to the topic of the Heaven Covering Formation: "Your father guessed that in order to break the formation, it is necessary to break all nine formation points at the same time, and collapse the entire formation in one fell swoop. In this way, the formation spirit of the Heaven Covering Formation will be helpless and powerless to save the situation. Otherwise, once there is only one formation point left, it will come back again."

Shen Yizhi felt heavy in his heart. Breaking nine formations at the same time? How easy is that? Qing Bao's master, Jiang Chanyu, a great Mahayana master, had most of his spiritual power sucked away when he was destroying the formation. Her father, who was even more powerful than Jiang Chanyu, was also imprisoned by the formation.

It would be great if the spirit in that formation could take the initiative to dispel the formation.
