Chapter 327: Field Investigation into the Customs and Culture of the Departed Courtyard Part 8

There is a place at the top of the sky, a very high place.

This is the information Lin Zhenxi saw on the map. As for where the Dingtian is and how high it is, she really has no clear idea.

So when she saw the puppet soldiers soaring straight into the sky, she was actually a little confused. She had seen the sky above the Garden of Departure before; on a good day, the sky was clear and everything could be seen clearly. But she had never seen anything in the sky before, so the sky was either higher than the stratosphere and blocked by clouds, or it was hidden in some other way.

Lin Zhenxi is more inclined to the second option, because the courtyard of the dead is so small, and even if it is high, how high can it be? It is too difficult to make it impossible for others to see it by relying on its height.

However, the puppet soldiers had been flying upwards for a long time, but still hadn't reached the top of the sky. This made Lin Zhenxi begin to wonder if the top of the sky was really at the top of the courtyard of the departed world, right next to the Great Illusion Barrier. If it was there, it might actually be in the stratosphere, which would be invisible from the ground.

However, since the celebration world was pitch black and lacked reference points, she didn't know her current exact height.

After going up to the sky for a while, a vermilion gate suddenly appeared in the sky.

The pillars on either side of the gate were probably made of white marble, with intricate carvings of dragons and phoenixes on them. The floor was made of fluffy, cotton-like clouds, creating a dreamy look.

Although this door is not as big as the Youming barrier at the Baiyu Tower, it is still more than ten meters high and looks just as imposing.

But Dingtian is also a demiplane, which is... not that surprising. After all, there is already the example of Baiyulou, so it wouldn't be surprising to see another, or even several more demiplanes like it.

But this time, she should be able to enter this demiplane, right? After all, there is no barrier above the gate this time.

However, when Lin Zhenxi pressed his hand on the vermilion door, the light ball still popped up a prompt.

"Nantianmen: A gate hidden in the sea of ​​mysterious clouds above the top of Youkai Mountain, separating the real world from the heavens."

"Only the deceased who have attained Buddhahood are eligible to enter the heavenly realm. If a living person wishes to enter, they must abandon all desires, transcend the mundane world, and completely bid farewell to all worldly things. They will be placed outside the cycle of reincarnation and live forever in the heavenly realm."

"Or you can join the Hinamage clan, swear to serve the gods for your whole life, and eat only peaches from now on."

Hiss, this condition is too harsh. If I really agree to it, it will be a life worse than death. It is better to go to Baiyu Tower. At least there I can give people a quick death.

Such conditions made Lin Zhenxi give up the idea of ​​going in to find out. After all, the puppets were not alive, and they could enter and exit these forbidden areas of the living at will, so she just let the puppets go in and help her occupy Youdingtian as usual.

Although Lin Zhenxi couldn't get in by herself, she could ask the puppet soldiers to go in for her.

It just so happened that the team of puppet soldiers that broke through the Old Hell and the Black Tortoise Swamp also arrived. Lin Zhenxi didn't even need to draw new magic eye runes. He just let this meritorious team continue to fight Youdingtian.

The vermilion gate that separated the living from the celestial beings seemed weightless in the puppets' hands. With a gentle push, it parted, revealing a stairway in the clouds that continued upward. However, like the overall environment of the festival world, the sky behind the gate was also shrouded in darkness, so the stairway was quickly submerged in the darkness, and it was impossible to see very far.

The team of puppet soldiers stepped onto the stairs and walked up with the light and heat from the sun.

Lin Zhenxi switched the vision of the Eye of Truth to see what Youdingtian looked like in the celebration world.

After passing the stairs, the puppets came to a vast plain. On this plain grew a large number of dead branches that looked very sharp.

With the arrival of the glowing puppet soldiers, the thorns began to wriggle. Immediately afterwards, countless shriveled humanoid figures emerged from the thorns, howling (probably because the Eye of Truth pattern couldn't transmit sound), squeezing through the thorns and charging towards the puppet soldiers.

Those sharp thorns rubbed against the bodies of these dead corpses, but the bodies of these dead corpses seemed to be very hard. The thorns that could easily cut human skin did not cause any hindrance to them. Even if they could occasionally scratch part of the body tissue, it would not affect the movement of these dead corpses.

Then the puppet soldiers unleashed a barrage of full-powered sunlight lasers. One hundred lasers lined up in a row, forming a massive stream of sunlight that sliced ​​the Thorn Plain in front of them right down the middle.

Then the torrent of sunlight split into two from the center and began to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise respectively, like a swinging windshield wiper, burning all the enemies on the plain and the troublesome thorns.

The fighting style of the puppet soldiers is really neat and clean, without any sense of dragging on. They directly reach the target in one step and eliminate all problems. It is so cool to watch.

After clearing the plain before them, the puppet team stood there to catch their breath, waiting for their nuclear fusion furnaces to replenish their lost mana. With the nuclear fusion furnaces providing support, the puppet soldiers hardly had to worry about running out of mana; they only needed to control their magic power to avoid overload and self-destruction.

In the time it took to drink a sip of water, the puppets regained their ability to move, collectively took off into the air, and began to fly deeper into the sky.

After flying over the vast plain, a group of shattered floating islands blocked the way for the puppet soldiers. Furthermore, opposite this shattered floating island, a thundercloud appeared, and a giant squatted in the thundercloud, his figure looming.

The giant grabbed a red lightning spear that shone with a dim red light from the thundercloud, swung his arm and threw it towards the puppet soldiers opposite the broken floating islands.

The lightning spears disintegrated in the air, transforming into a red rain of lightning that almost covered the entire sky, and struck the puppet soldiers on this side.

Lin Zhenxi's heart suddenly tightened. Until now, the puppet soldiers had only shown their unparalleled attack power. As for their ability to withstand blows, Lin Zhenxi had no idea at all.

Facing the oncoming rain of lightning, the puppet soldiers chose to endure it head-on. They gathered together, and no one knew what they did, but the light from their bodies seemed to merge together, transforming from a hundred small suns into a single, dazzling sun.

Under the dazzling sunlight, the tiny lightning guns in the sky evaporated in mid-air before they could even get close.

After using the fused sunlight to melt the red lightning spears in the sky, the puppets did not separate again, but instead huddled together and pushed forward towards the position of the giant opposite the broken floating island.

The giant in the thundercloud began a frantic counterattack, its lightning spears growing larger and larger, and hurled faster and faster. However, in the face of the puppet army's pure solar power, the lightning bolts seemed made of wax, disintegrating before they could even get close, leaving them completely harmless.

Finally, the puppet army ran directly over the giant's face and sent the giant zombie, whose abdominal cavity had been hollowed out and whose brain seemed to be infested with worms, to be cremated on the spot.

As the giant's body, with only the lower half remaining, collapsed, the thunderstorm quickly dissipated, and a red palace, suspended in the sky, appeared.

At the same time, the ball of light next to Lin Zhenxi told her that her legion had occupied Youdingtian and gained the enhanced state "Scarlet Clothes".

Is this the end?

However, Lin Zhenxi clearly saw that there was still a large space available for exploration behind the palace, but the puppet army had already planned to return home.

Since they were already here, and it was a rare opportunity, they had to explore the map to its fullest. So, Lin Zhenxi stopped the puppet army from returning and ordered them to continue their journey into the interior of the Uedingtian.

The puppet army obediently changed its marching direction, bypassed the palace that emerged from the thunderclouds, and continued to advance towards the depths of the sky.

Not long after walking forward, the puppet army discovered a staircase in the clouds that continued to go up. It turned out that there was something else behind this staircase.

The puppets flew up the stairs to a new height again, and this time, they entered a garden with huge ancient trees.

Of course, there are definitely no leaves. These ancient trees are also dry and bare, and a large number of tree tumors have grown on the trunks of these ancient trees.

What's even more terrifying is that the bumps on the tree tumor look like struggling human faces. It is obvious that they did not escape from the tree tumor in the end, but just left their faces on the surface of the tree tumor.

As the puppet soldiers entered, light pierced the darkness of the woods and alarmed the tall tree monsters.

The entire earth began to tremble violently. One by one, the tree demons pulled their roots out of the earth and began to swarm around the glowing puppet soldiers. At the same time, many monsters that looked like stick insects rushed out from the gaps between the tree demons and rushed towards the puppet soldiers.

When he got closer, Lin Zhenxi realized that those were not stick insects, but skeletons whose ribs had been shaved off and whose skulls had been lost. Without ribs and skulls, their overall structure became as simple as stick figures, and they moved at an alarming speed.

But in terms of speed, the puppet soldiers were never at a disadvantage. As soon as the two came into contact, a large number of straw skeletons were chopped to the ground by the puppet soldiers and were directly purified by the power of the sun, saving them the step of becoming a Buddha.

However, these stalks of skeletons eventually slowed down the attack rhythm of the puppet soldiers. While they were dealing with the stalks, the slow-moving tree demons behind them also surrounded them and began to swing their arms covered with vines to smash at the slender puppet soldiers.

The puppets seem to be in trouble.
