Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer-Chapter 323 - 322: Journey to the Hidden Dragon Dynasty as a Monk
"I understand."
In the remaining time, Yan Tong reminded him of some things to be mindful of.
Only then did Lin Heng bid her farewell.
With just one man and one sword, he swiftly vanished from the place.
The remaining fairies were left with complex expressions, still troubled in their hearts.
As for the Mountain God, it was needless to say, he kept pleading for forgiveness from the Flame Immortal Master.
It truly did not expect things would escalate to this extent.
The most crucial point was that it was unharmed, but instead, Fairy Qingyu lost her life.
This left it in a state of anxiety and unease.
However, the Flame Immortal Master did not reproach it but merely led the group of fairies back to Spirit Peak.
Upon returning to the peak.
She summoned Yan Tong.
"What kind of person is that Daoist?"
With her beautiful eyes full of admiration, Yan Tong sighed, "In our place, such a figure hasn’t appeared in a millennium. His unparalleled elegance is unmatched not only by his peers but also by the legends throughout history."
The Flame Immortal Master reflected, "To have the strength of a Celestial Immortal right after ascending, such a person is indeed rare in this world."
"It’s just a pity that he is a Daoist..."
She shook her head with a light sigh, then gazed directly at Yan Tong and said:
"A man like that truly inspires longing in women."
"I can understand the feelings you harbor for him, but you must gather your thoughts."
"In the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect, among the top ranks, we are walking on thin ice; a single misstep could lead to an abyss."
"To overcome the crisis, we can only rely on the Phoenix Immortal Sect."
"So, you understand."
The Flame Immortal Master’s words were heartfelt; beneath the glamour of being the master of a peak, there was worry akin to walking on a tightrope.
"I understand..."
Yan Tong replied in a low voice, with a tone of helplessness.
...
...
"Where are we headed now?"
On the other side, Long Kui asked, her face full of curiosity. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"To the Hidden Dragon Dynasty."
Lin Heng responded while controlling his sword.
After spending almost two Shi Chen escaping Flame Island, they were now traversing through the clouds.
Along the way, they saw various islands, suspended in the sky.
There were quite a few islands as vast as Flame Island.
Even more fascinating was how these islands were scattered like stars, at varying heights.
It left Long Kui utterly confused as to whether she was in the sky or on the ground.
"Why do you disguise yourself as a bald monk?"
In the speed of movement, Long Kui’s voice mingled with the whistling wind, making it hard to discern what she was asking without focusing.
Lin Heng replied, "No choice, in the Upper Realm, it seems something has happened with Daoism."
"If I travel as a Daoist, various forces would avoid us, which hinders our information gathering."
"Most importantly, it would attract the pursuit of the Buddhist Sect."
"Currently, we know too little about the Upper Realm, so we must disguise ourselves."
Long Kui nodded, smiling with some teasing:
"But speaking of which, you really look the part when disguised as a monk; there’s no trace of a disguise at all."
"You have quite the potential to be a monk!"
Lin Heng was left speechless.
Clearly being praised for his impressive disguise, yet why did it feel like being scolded?
Speaking of which.
At this moment, with a precious crown, a kasaya draped around, and surrounded by Buddha Light, Lin Heng indeed looked impeccable.
Regardless of appearance or aura, his disguise was seamless.
And naturally, this was all due to having once emptied out Jinshan Temple and Lingyin Temple.
Although he couldn’t perform the Buddhist Sect Immortal Techniques.
He could still effortlessly employ the regular Buddhist methods of Jinshan Temple and Lingyin Temple.
"Having multiple skills doesn’t weigh you down, is indeed the ultimate truth."
Lin Heng thought to himself.
...
Half a month later.
As a lush, tall and ancient forested island appeared.
Lin Heng finally arrived at the place Yan Tong had mentioned.
The Fortune Array of the Hidden Dragon Dynasty was now expanded thousands of times compared to before.
The sky, stretching over hundreds of thousands of miles, was guarded by Celestial Soldiers formed of Power of Fortune.
Of course, in a few places, there were actual immortals guarding as well.
Lin Heng felt quite sentimental.
Because from a distance, he could see those immortals, among them were two he had seen at Shushan in the past.
They were two of the Five Elders of the Imperial Capital.
A hundred-year span had not eroded their appearances; on the contrary, after becoming immortals, they seemed a bit younger.
Yet, in demeanor, they appeared even more seasoned.
To this, Lin Heng wasn’t surprised.
The people from the Small Thousand World, having endured countless challenges, established the Dao.
Initially believing that upon arrival in the Upper Realm, the vast skies awaited them.
But after truly ascending, they discovered they were merely ants among the multitude of immortals.
Such a disparity.
For those who passed the dragon gate, it was undoubtedly a chilling realization penetrating to the bone.
"The Fortune Layer enshrouding this dynasty, should we break through or...?"
Long Kui interrupted Lin Heng’s thoughts.
"No need; just find any city, and once inside, we can continue traveling through the sky."
Lin Heng explained.
Yan Tong had already informed him.
In the Upper Realm, regardless of the dynasty, there’s always a National Protection Array.
To guard against sudden appearances from other forces.
Hence, from the sky, wanting to directly enter the Imperial City, unless one forcefully breaks through, it’s impossible.
One must first undergo identity verification; once inside the city gates, then they can continue airborne travel to the Imperial City.
Of course.
This rule only applies to those without enough strength.
If a truly Heaven-Reaching power were to forcefully intervene, even with a grand array protecting, it would be futile.
However, such situations are indeed rare.
Because in the Upper Realm, too many forces intertwine.
What appears as a dynasty, might be backed by a top Immortal Sect.
Even potentially under the Ancient Celestial Court or the Western Heaven Buddha Country isn’t impossible.
Thus, under normal circumstances, it’s unlikely for one individual to annihilate an entire nation, unless driven by relentless vendetta, disregarding everything.
Or otherwise, when one’s strength is overwhelmingly unrivaled.
But presently, Lin Heng evidently didn’t fit any of those criteria.
Therefore, he descended before a city gate.
Unlike the dynastic city gates of the Small Thousand World, barely a dozen feet high.
Here, even an ordinary city gate rose over a thousand feet.
And the city walls were constructed of special materials, difficult for even an Immortal Platform Level expert to shake the walls in the slightest.
"In the highest Imperial City among humans, here it can only fall to the annex of an Immortal Sect..."
"Nonetheless, this place is indeed incomparable to an Immortal Sect."
On Flame Island.
Whether the Mountain God or the female cultivators, all started at the level of Impure Immortals.
But within this city gate.
Lin Heng already saw many whose cultivation was only at Grandmaster level.
Undoubtedly, these Grandmasters were at the lowest rung of cultivators here.
They either transported spirit beast corpses or carried litters of Spiritual Simurgh, or traded in cultivation items.
Many were also harassed by city gate guards.
Those figures, bowing and scraping, seemed somewhat out of place in the Upper Realm.
But this was the reality.
In the harsher Great Thousand Upper Realm.
The hierarchy of status and prestige was showcased even more completely.
Lin Heng didn’t pay attention, and after showing his Jade Token for passage, he directly proceeded through the city gate, ready to travel skyward toward the Imperial City.
But at that moment.
A booming noise erupted outside the city gate.
