Chapter 454: The Golden Thread

He Zhi and Luo Ying traveled all the way, and they really didn't find anything special. Although it was already early spring, the mountain was still quite bleak, and there were only a few green shoots on the branches of the surrounding trees, which looked like bare poles if you didn't look closely. Coupled with the hazy drizzle, it is a bit of a feeling of "the hidden path is gone, and everything is silent".

He Zhi walked towards the top of the mountain, and in his heart he kept recalling the original text of "Water Margin" that he had read before. But to be honest, He Zhi's memory is also very vague. Although He Zhi has cultivated to the realm of initiation, his control over himself has reached an inhuman level, and as long as he has seen anything once, he will never forget it.

But what has been forgotten is forgotten, and it does not come back to one's mind just because it has become strong now.

Although He Zhi's memories of scraping his stomach are only a rough recollection. It seems that when Captain Hong went up the mountain at that time, he was tricked by the Heavenly Master he was supposed to be looking for halfway up the mountain. The other party turned into a tiger and a basilisk to scare him strong enough. Then he turned his head and pretended to be a shepherd boy to tease him.

After the Taiwei Hong went down the mountain, a group of Taoist priests in the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain were probably afraid of offending the Taiwei badly, so they found someone to take him around to play, which gave Taiwei Hong the matter of accidentally breaking into the Demon Hall and letting go of the one hundred and eight demon stars.

When He Zhi and Luo Ying came to the foot of Longhu Mountain, the first thing they did was of course to find this Shangqing Palace, but they asked many local people, but they found nothing.

The locals have never even heard of any Shangqing Palace on Longhu Mountain! They only say that this is a barren mountain, and there may be some people on the mountain. But when asked carefully, it was not even clear whether the monk or the Taoist priest on the mountain was clear.

In this regard, He Zhi was also quite helpless, so he could only search for Luo Ying cluelessly.

Soon the two of them crossed the mountainside.

In this world, Longhu Mountain is not a sacred place of Taoism, so the whole mountain is almost a barren mountain, completely unexplored. Those who go up and down the mountain every day are some woodcutters and hunters, and the mountain paths are all walked up and down the mountain by these people all year round.

After crossing the mountainside, most of the woodcutters were reluctant to go any further, so the mountain road became more and more rugged.

"Are we going up?" Although it is not a big deal for Sakura to walk a little mountain road, looking at the unkempt trees on the top of the mountain, Sakura still does not want to waste time here.

This time, following He Zhi into the world of "Demons in Troubled Times", the two have been wandering around for almost a month. Luo Ying felt more and more that He Zhi was wasting time.

In the past month, He Zhi has not even triggered any quests related to exploration, nor has he contacted anyone who is "suspected" to be the protagonist.

At the beginning, Luo Ying still felt that He Zhi was unfathomable. But as time passed, the disappointment in Sakura's heart became deeper and deeper.

"Hmm. Keep going. He Zhizhi could see that Luo Ying's mood was not high, but he would not turn back because of Luo Ying's petty nature.

After saying a word to Luo Ying, He Zhi should continue to walk forward first.

The two of them bypassed the two mountains and forests along the winding mountain road, and at this time, the scenery in front of the two of them changed, and the whole picture of Longhu Mountain appeared in front of them. He Zhi and Luo Ying looked at the top of the mountain together, and saw that there seemed to be traces of houses on the top of the mountain.

He Zhi's heart moved, and he immediately quickened his pace, and rushed directly towards the building. Luo Sakura was also stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed behind.

Both of them are advanced cultivators, so the mountain roads are naturally not a problem. In a few moments, the two of them had rushed to the top of the hill and came to the side of the building.

In front of the building, He Zhi stopped.

The building that appeared in front of He Zhi's eyes could vaguely see the prosperity of the past, but now only the ruins remained. And, as if no one had been here for a long time, the walls were covered with vines, and the huge palace-like buildings were almost overwhelmed by plants.

On the gate of the main hall, He Zhi saw a broken half of the door plaque. All that remains above is the "upper cyan". The back half of the block is gone.

"What are you looking for here?What's so special about this place?How do you know about this place?" Luo Ying's stomach was holding a stomach, she looked at He Zhi suspiciously, and asked in a loud voice.

He Zhi didn't answer Luo Ying's meaning at all, he took a deep breath and rushed in directly.

There are three alleys in the Shangqing Palace, and there are more than ten halls in front of the palace and behind the palace. At this time, although all the halls were only ruins left, He Zhi still took Luo Ying to rummage through them.

Luo Ying didn't know what He Zhi was looking for, so she could only grit her teeth and follow behind.

The two of them circled back and forth a few times, and He Zhi suddenly stopped in front of a dilapidated hall.

This hall, like the others, has no roof, its walls are in tatters, and even half of the main structure remains. The plaque on the main hall was destroyed by something, and less than a third of it remained.

And the remaining third, only one of the word "volt" is clearly visible on it, and the other part can also be seen to be vaguely half of the word "demon".

Temple of the Demons...... When He Zhi saw the small half of the plaque, he knew that he had found the true core of "Water Margin".

He Zhi did not hesitate and immediately entered the main hall. At this time, there are no more miracles described in the Water Margin in the Demon Palace, and it looks like an ordinary broken temple, and the hall is overgrown with weeds, and it looks like a barren place.

He Zhi carefully searched in the main hall. In the end, behind a stone table that had been turned over, he saw what he wanted to see.

It was a stone monument.

Different from the dilapidated scene in the main hall, this stele is very well preserved, He Zhi stretched out his hand, grabbed the stele, and lifted it from behind the stone table. Brushing away the dust on the surface, He Zhi saw the words "open in the flood".

"Pioneer mission 'Demons in Troubled Times', Explorer No. A13524 Luo Ying, A14906 He Zhi, discover the important clues of the mystery of the world!

Just when those four words appeared in front of He Zhi and Luo Ying's eyes, the voice of no space came to their ears. Sakura opened her mouth in surprise in an "O" shape.

In the plot world of "Demons and Troubled Times", I don't know how many reincarnators have entered. There may have been thousands or even tens of thousands of reincarnators who have been tossing and turning hundreds of times in this world before, and they have only developed 16% of the exploration progress!

And since the cherry blossoms entered the empty space, the progress of this exploration mission has been stuck at 16.3%, and it has not even moved forward in the slightest!

He Zhi actually ran around like this for more than half a month, and turned out a broken stone tablet from a pile of ruins and broken tiles, and immediately increased the progress by 5%? Luo Ying was unimaginable, incomprehensible, and almost a little dizzy.

Because Luo Ying suddenly discovered at this time that if He Zhi did this kind of exploration process again, this world of "demons and chaos" might become a "golden main line"!

In the empty space, the "Golden Thread" is the most important asset of every legion, and it is also the foundation of the existence of all large legions. The so-called "golden main line" is actually a world that is monopolized by a certain legion, and can send as many reincarnators as you want at any time to obtain a steady stream of credits and military medals.

There have always been only two sources of the "golden main line".

The first is to complete the main quest of SSS difficulty in a certain story world, and at the same time clear all the side quests, so that the whole world falls under the control of the Legion. In this case, there is a chance to get a reward called "Master's Key" from the reward of the empty space. Once used, this story quest can be made into a clan-exclusive "Golden Story" story.

However, the golden main line of this model is extremely rare. Because it is difficult to farm the SSS-level main quest from the quest world in the first place. Generally speaking, the level of the quest is directly related to the impact of the reincarnation on the world. Moreover, the level of the world itself also determines the upper limit of the level of tasks that this world can provide.

The SSS-level main quest is basically equivalent to a world where a strong person in the realm of true immortals is in charge, or where technology has reached the level of galaxy colonization, and the reincarnation is dominated by creating a major event at the level of annihilation. And the reincarnation has to complete this big event and let their own camp win. This is the completion of the SSS-level main story.

For the current highest combat power is only at the general level, which is almost equivalent to the empty space of the Three Tribulations real person, let alone wanting to complete a task at this level, even if such a main quest is created, the probability is close to zero. Because of the lack of strength of the reincarnation, there is no such big movement at all.

Moreover, because once the "Golden Thread" is made, it will be monopolized by a certain legion. Therefore, when the SSS-level main quest is triggered, all clans in the empty space will be informed and will be allowed to temporarily organize their teams to join the main quest.

It can be imagined that no matter which legion wants to make a golden main line like this, they will have to face more than just the pressure from the plot itself. Reincarnators in the empty space will not sit idly by.

Moreover, if you want to complete the main quest of the SSS class, the power that the clan puts into it is absolutely amazing. If you mess up, the loss is just as terrifying.

At least as far as Sakura knows, using this method to create the golden main line is at most what the three major legions have done. The other legions, no matter how strong they were, would not dare to use this method.

So, this brings us to the second method of generating the Golden Thread - the Golden Thread generated from the Exploration Mission.

In fact, the Golden Thread from the Pioneer Mission is the true source of the "Golden Thread" in the hands of the vast majority of legions.

Compared to directly owning a story world that has already been explored, it is much easier to obtain the golden main story from the exploration mission.

Although the empty space has never explicitly stated how to act, the major legions in the space have long summarized the general conditions.

In the exploration mission, there are currently two known ways to get the Golden Storyline.

The first, and easiest, method, is for a clan to complete more than 10% of the exploration on its own in a Pioneer Mission. As long as this is completed, the Empty Space will definitely give the legion that completes the mission a "Explorer's Key" reward.

As long as the reward is used, the empty space will directly copy a copy of the story world of the exploration mission and reward it to the clan as the clan's exclusive "Golden Thread".

Of course, the number of tasks in this "replica story world" and whether the rewards are rich or not depends entirely on the degree of exploration and the difficulty of developing the mission world itself.

Therefore, some of the "gold main line" produced by this method has also been given the harmonious name of "silver main line" and "bronze main line". Like the hands of the Predator Army, it seems to have two "silver main lines" in their hands.

The second way to get the "Golden Mainline" in the Exploration Quest is to trigger the S level or higher Mainline Quest in the quest.

In the Pioneer Mission, all reincarnators enter without a mission. Quests cannot be triggered during exploration. This is the rule of empty space. However, there is one exception, that is, the main quest of S level or above is triggered in the exploration mission!

Only when the importance of the task reaches S level or higher, the empty space will prompt the reincarnator to tell them that the advanced task has been triggered.

Moreover, unlike the normal story world, the empty space is extremely preferential to reincarnators who trigger S-class missions in the exploration world. Not only will they not leak their information to anyone in the empty space, but they will also open up a special "explorer commander permission", allowing the reincarnation who triggered the mission to recruit the reincarnators inside the empty space to temporarily join the mission!

Note that this is the reincarnation that triggers the quest to recruit in the space by itself. In other words, only reincarnators who have the permission and consent of the reincarnation person who triggered the task can enter the space of the exploration task. This is completely the same as the treatment of triggering SSS-level missions in story missions.

Moreover, once this S-level main story mission is completed, then a "golden main line" will definitely not be able to run away. There is even the possibility of a more enticing "super-gold main line".

The existence of a "super golden main line" is also a watershed that distinguishes the first-class legions from other legions in the empty space. The Predator has such a main line in their hands. Therefore, although there are few people in the empty space, they are also first-class legions, and few people dare to provoke them.

Of course, for the latter method, Sakura didn't dare to count on it. It's too difficult to trigger the S-class main story. Especially this pioneering world. I don't know how many reincarnators there are before.,I've tried all the methods.,I haven't figured out the plot.。 But with the former method, Sakura felt that she had seen hope.
