Smuggling to Central State Northern Region
When the Global Announcement was released, countless female players nearly stopped breathing.
Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong!
He surpassed Blade Sovereign and firmly held the number one spot on the Dragon Rankings.
The male NPC that all female players on the server unanimously agree is the one they most want to date!
From elderly women in their sixties and seventies to young girls just starting college, who doesn't get confused when they see Elder Hai?
Of course, it wasn't just Elder Hai's face with its white beard, which exuded the charm of a mature man at all times.
Most importantly, Elder Hai originally known as "Thousand Treasure Old Man" and stayed in Desert City for two whole versions! Due to Desert City's special geographical location, all Four Great Empires have routes that can reach it.
This led to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, where Hai Bodong was located, becoming a must-visit spot for players in those two versions.
When players undertake Hai Bodong's serendipity quests, they will almost always trigger "Mirror Mode".
The Mirror Mode is similar to single-player mode, and Hai Bodong will appear in it to help the player.
This means that most players have had some interaction with Elder Hai, and it was basically Elder Hai who saved the players! Back then, what were those Dou Master players like? When Elder Hai activated his ice-attribute Dou Technique with maxed-out special effects, it was both cool and dazzling.
Unfortunately, Hai Bodong was originally a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
He doesn't talk much, but his actions are awesome!
Once the mission is complete, Hai Bodong will smile at the player, offer words of encouragement, and provide generous mission rewards.
Strength, background, gratitude, contrast, and incredibly handsome.
Which woman could resist? And now, the "heartthrob" Hai Bodong Sealed Heart Locked Love?
The forum is in complete chaos.
The post titled "Elder Hai, Confused!!" immediately topped the trending list, attracting countless replies.
ID: Charming Beauty: "No! This isn't real!"
ID Mrs. Bull Is Very Sweet: "Chao! Chao! Chao! Who is Little Dolphin? You dare to sleep in Hai Bodong? You dare to come out!"
Andrology Nurse: "Where's my scalpel? Where's my size 22 scalpel?!"
My I Freeze Eggs for Hai Lao: "Ah! Dongdong! My Dongdong!!! No! Dongdong can't be romanced! He's my dream! My dream!"
ID Nightclub Pure Love Queen: "Is Little Dolphin there? DM me and tell me how you feel? I'll pay you!"
There were no replies from male players in this thread.
It's not that male gamers don't want to express their opinions.
The main issue was that a brave soul commented, "Congratulations, Elder Hai! If you have a wedding banquet, I'll definitely come and give you a gift!" and was then bombarded by Hai Bodong's fans, forcing him to delete the comment.
Now, the vast number of female players of Battle Through the Heavens finally understand why male players spammed the chat with insults when Ya Fei and Yun Yun Sealed Heart Locked Love.
"You deserve to die!" This message flooded the forum again, but this time the name wasn't Yang Shan, but Little Dolphin.
With the hype at its peak, Little Dolphin followed suit and released a free basic version and a premium paid version of "Male NPC Strategy Guide".
If we rank them solely by the money they earned from Battle Through the Heavens, Yang Shan should be the richest man.
But Little Dolphin proved with his actions that you don't necessarily need to be a powerful fighter to make money in Battle Through the Heavens! Yu Feifei was the happiest.
The fact that Little Dolphin was able to gain 68 points of favorability from Hai Bodong is the result of the collective efforts of all members of the Meteor Association.
Therefore, the guild will take 40% of the revenue from Little Dolphin's posts.
Of this 40%, Yu Feifei will receive 15%, and the remaining 25% will be distributed among the members of the Meteor Association based on the actual situation.
Now, all the girls in the Meteor Association can make a fortune! Yang Shan's 30% cut should have a chance to break 100 million.
"We've already achieved our small goals, so shouldn't we set ten more?"
Yang Shan smiled and closed the forum, just in time to see Great Elder Su Qian walking over. "Little Friend Yang Shan, everything is ready, please come with me."
After returning to the Black-Corner Region from the Jia Ma Empire, Yang Shan first went to Black Seal City to meet Hun Dan and Luo Xie under the identity of Cheng E.
Luo Xie remained the same; with Su Mei by his side, he still couldn't bring himself to Smashing Bird Severing Thoughts.
But Hun Dan is different; he has already Smashing Bird Severing Thoughts and has been cultivating asceticism for half a year.
The main reason is that Hun Dan's bloodline is gradually stabilizing, and his cultivation level is starting to steadily improve.
Hun Dan wants to cultivate to the Nine Star Dou Zong as soon as possible so that he will be qualified to go back and compete with his elder brother Hun Xian.
Yang Shan came to find Hun Dan and Luo Xie mainly to check on their current situation, since "Yang Shan" rarely sees them.
That Hun Dan is really impressive; he's already Six-Star Dou Zong with Golden Word Seal.
Luo Xie has already reached the Two-Star Dou Zong! Also, I'd like to ask you Hun Dan, about the branch halls of the Central Plains Soul Hall.
Because the various branch halls of the Soul Hall are hidden in the shadows, and the secrecy measures are extremely well done.
Therefore, even the guardians of the Soul Hall can only know the location of other branch halls when they are dispatched.
Just like the Ghost Wither Branch Hall, the only people who know about the other branch halls are Old Mu Bone and his direct protectors.
Yang Shan dared not ask Old Mu Bone, because he was a Soul General, and it would be unreasonable for "Young Master" not to know about the Soul Hall! But to Yang Shan's surprise, even that Hun Dan didn't know!
After leaving the Soul Clan, Hun Dan went directly to the headquarters of the Soul Hall, which is the Heaven Hall of the "Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Halls".
Then we went directly from the Heaven Hall to the Ghost Wither Branch Hall, and then to the Black-Corner Region.
After asking Bai, Yang Shan told the Hun Dan to keep going and then ran away.
Yang Shan is currently in the Inner Courtyard of the Jia Nan Academy.
He had promised Zi Yan that when he went to Central Plains, he would take Zi Yan with him and help Zi Yan find her clan.
Unexpectedly, Zi Yan is now in a deep sleep, protected by a Space Barrier.
Even Great Elder Su Qian couldn't get through this Space Barrier!
According to Great Elder Su Qian, Zi Yan's bloodline must have undergone a crucial change!
The exact duration of his slumber was unknown! Yang Shan was at a loss for words.
His original plan was to first take Zi Yan to find the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, then go to the Soul Hall, and use Cheng E E's identity to make a fortune.
Even if the plan changes, at least one of Zi Yan and the Soul Hall will succeed.
What a mess! The optimal development path has been completely cut off! However, Su Qian also brought Yang Shan some good news.
The Inner Courtyard forbidden area actually contains a Space Wormhole that leads to the border between the Northwest Continent and the Central Plains.
This was specially designed by Dean Mang Tianchi before he left Jia Nan Academy.
However, based on Yang Shan's contributions to the Jia Nan Academy, Su Qian is willing to open this hidden Space Wormhole for Yang Shan.
Yang Shan currently knows of two Space Wormhole: one is from the Jia Ma Empire to the Black-Corner Region, and the other is from the Black-Corner Region to the Ghost Wither Branch Hall.
Now that there is direct access to the border of Central Plains, Yang Shan has saved several days of travel time.
After following Su Qian into the forbidden area, Su Qian sighed and said, "If Zi Yan wakes up and finds out that you didn't take her with you, she'll probably cause a scene again."
Yang Shan smiled and said:
"It's alright, Great Elder. I'll just consider this a trip to Central Plains to scout out the way for Zi Yan. Once she wakes up, I'll take her there!"
Su Qian nodded, patted Yang Shan on the shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Yang Shan, you are the most outstanding genius of the Jia Nan Academy in the past hundred years, but Central Plains is the most prosperous region in the entire Dou Qi Continent. There is never a shortage of geniuses there. You should keep a low profile in everything you do."
At this point, Su Qian lowered her voice and instructed:
"Especially, don't rashly let a woman from Central Plains fall in love with you! There are countless forces, big and small, in Central Plains. Besides the well-known One Tower, One Palace Two Sects, Three Valleys, Four Directions Pavilion, there are also many forces with Dou Zun expert! If you offend a descendant of a Nine Star Dou Zong or even Dou Zun, and if they are unreasonable, you will be in trouble!"
Yang Shan awkwardly, "Great Elder, you're exaggerating a bit. I'm just an ordinary person. How could so many girls love me?"
Su Qian scoffed:
"Do you think I don't know you? Xiao Xun'er's background is so powerful that even I don't dare to ask too many questions! And you still managed to win her over, didn't you?"
Yang Shan: "I didn't."
"Still denying it! How come I've never seen Xiao Xun'er pay attention to any other men? It's like she's been drugged; she just likes to follow you around. You even slept in her secluded courtyard!"
Yang Shan: "Uh, this..."
Su Qian: "That's enough, I've said everything I needed to say."
Su Qian threw a full one million Spirit Stone under the stone tablet in front of him before opening the Space Wormhole.
"Little Friend Yang Shan, please be careful in everything you do. If you encounter any difficult situations, you can mention the name of our Dean Mang Tianchi. It might be of some help."
Yang Shan: "Um, what if it doesn't work?"
Su Qian: "Then you'd better pray for yourself!"
"Ahem, alright, Great Elder, I'm off. Take care!"
Yang Shan plunged headfirst into the Space Wormhole.
What followed was a long wait.
Yang Shan can click to log off and go rest.
If anything happens inside the Space Wormhole, Yang Shan will receive an immediate notification from Tian Yao Company.
After all, Space Wormhole are usually constructed by Dou Zun expert.
If it's done by human intervention, then no matter what, there's always the possibility of problems arising.
In Central Plains, Space Wormhole are the core of transportation. Because they are used frequently, they require constant maintenance by Dou Zun expert to ensure their safety.
If it is "neglected for a long time", then there is a high possibility that problems will occur inside the Space Wormhole, causing one to leave the wormhole prematurely, or even suffer from the pressure of the space rift.
However, Yang Shan is now Dou Zong and has a preliminary ability to Space Control. Unless the space collapses too drastically, he will not die directly.
The Dean of the Jia Nan Academy, Mang Tianchi, must have already reached the late stage of Dou Zun back then, and this Space Wormhole has remained very sturdy for so many years.
No accidents occurred during the journey.
They appeared smoothly from another part of the Space Channel.
With his feet touching the ground, Yang Shan found himself on a high mountain.
Looking into the distance, the mountains stretch endlessly, with no end in sight.
This place is not yet considered part of the Central Plains, but rather the border area between the Central Plains and the Northwest Continent.
[Ding! Player, please note that you are currently on the map "Severed Realm Mountain Range," which is not the main operating area of the current version of the server. If you die, your death penalty will be tripled, and you will respawn at the nearest respawn point in the main operating area— Black Seal City (Black-Corner Region).]
Yang Shan would receive this death penalty notification every time he went to the Ghost Wither Branch Hall.
The punishment is secondary.
The key issue is that if Yang Shan dies, he will find himself in the Black-Corner Region the moment he opens his eyes! Although he can still spend enough time to return to Central Plains, if he dies during a crucial step of the opportunity mission, the opportunity may be lost.
Therefore, it's best to avoid any unexpected events along the way.
But the area where Yang Shan is now is actually the place where accidents are most likely to happen!
