Hua Ling'er said, "Okay, little Taoist. Listen, this is what the first disciple of the Seven Great Sects said about you! That's enough for you to show off in the future!"

I said, "Let's not talk about showing off, in fact, I've always wanted to ask what the Seven Great Sects are? Are they the Shenxiao Sect, the Faleng Temple, the Qianji Gate, the Taiyue Sect, the Mirror Moon Dream Palace, the Qianyuan Sect, and the Qingling Sect?"

Hua Ling'er looked at me in surprise and asked, "You don't know it!?You don't even know this bit of common sense?!"

I smiled awkwardly, "Haha, yes." Before I came down the mountain, I also asked my master about the outside, but my master only told me the names of the seven sects and the names of the six countries. The rest of my master didn't say anything, and there were no books to show me, so I didn't know anything about anything outside the valley. ”

Then everyone took the theme of tutoring me the common sense of the rivers and lakes, and carried out the drinking party until the end. Through everyone's stories, I have a more concrete and clear understanding of the world.

There are nearly 100 sects of all sizes on the entire continent, and many sects often clash with each other due to interests and other reasons. As a result, it often causes large-scale casualties and even implicates innocent people in the area. Therefore, there are seven particularly powerful sects, and they unite to jointly stabilize the order of the entire rivers and lakes, which are the seven major sects.

At the same time, the relationship between the sect and the state is also delicate. Not to mention the other sects, just say that each of the seven major sects is a behemoth for the country, the average number of disciples under each sect of the seven sects is more than tens of thousands, and each faction has many affiliated sects. If the seven major factions joined forces, they could easily form an armed force with a strong combat force of more than one million people.

This is a great threat to the ruler of any country, and a delicate balance has been reached between the state and the sect in the course of a millennia of conflict. The Seven factions never participate in wars between nations, except in very special circumstances. The sect is more inclined to train high-end fighters for individual units.

The state pays more attention to the cultivation of the overall combat effectiveness of the army, and at the same time vigorously supports a large number of families loyal to the royal family to cultivate high-end combat power. The state also rarely participates in conflicts between gangs, and will provide some resource support to some larger and potentially sects in exchange for other benefits from these sects. In the event of a national war, the sect will provide assistance to the innocent people who have suffered in the war, and will also maintain the stability of the relevant region in peacetime.

Of course, there are exceptions to this. Yanyun Kingdom, which is located in the northeast region, has swept away all the sects in the country and achieved absolute centralization and unification of the country. This also makes the country the most combat-ready country with the same number of troops. The Xia Lan Kingdom, which is located in the northwest, is the opposite, almost every generation of the royal family has disciples of the Mirror Moon Dream Palace, and it has become a custom for the royal family and the sect to intermarry with each other, and the relationship between the two is inseparable.

It is worth mentioning that the Mirror Moon Dream Palace is located in the territory of Xia Lan Kingdom. The Taiyue faction and the Qianyuan sect were in the Dayu country, and Xu Zilan's Shenxiao faction was in the Cangqi country. The Qingling sect is in the state of Chu, and the Qianjimen and Faleng temples are in the state of Wu. In particular, the Faleng Temple has made great achievements in dissemination, the Faleng Temple has thirteen branch temples all over the five countries, and even the national capital of Yanyun Country has the Faleng Temple's transmission court, and the transmission court only preaches the Dharma and does not teach people to practice the Dharma and does not accept disciples.

The next morning, we took the carriage of the local government to the county seat, and it took more than half a month to reach the nearest county town. Everyone had a lot of fun eating and drinking along the way, and I didn't think I needed to hide a secret that wasn't a secret. So I told everyone that before going down the mountain, Master told me that I could visit the Xuanzhen Daoist of the Kunlun Sect when I had time.

"Are you saying that your master wants you to visit the Xuanzhen Daoist??!!" After hearing my words, everyone was surprised, and seeing their reactions confused me.

"That's what my master said, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Do you know who the Xuanzhen Daoist is? How can we juniors see his old man?!" Hua Ling'er said.

Seeing that I didn't understand what was going on, Xu Zilan sighed and said, "That's it, Brother You, let's tell you about the Kunlun faction first." ”

Xu Zilan said: "The Kunlun sect is a secluded sect and rarely participates in mundane affairs on the rivers and lakes. There are only a few thousand disciples, but there are a lot of masters. The entire Kunlun Mountain area belongs to the Kunlun faction, and even the three kingdoms around the Kunlun faction, Dayu, Xialan, and Chu, none of the three countries have divided the Kunlun Mountain region as their own territory. Even if there is a war between countries, it will be very coincidental to avoid the Kunlun Mountain area. ”

Xu Zilan continued: "This is enough to show that the Kunlun Sect, as one of the oldest sects at present, has a status in the entire Central Continent. And the most admirable thing is that this sect, which has been inherited for thousands of years, has never really decayed, and there will often be some powerful people who have earth-shattering cultivation. Even in the rebellion of the Demon Kingdom more than 300 years ago, the Kunlun faction was still immovable in the wave of the impact of the Demon Sect, and it became a turning point for the elimination of the Demon Kingdom. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?" I asked.

Li Shuyun said: "It's too specific to say too far, to put it simply, more than three hundred years ago, all the demon sects in Central Continent united to establish a powerful Demon Kingdom, and its extremely strong strength led to the fall of almost half of the Central Continent in a short period of time. In this case, the Demon Kingdom concentrated nearly seventy percent of the elite to besiege the Kunlun faction. With the help of some loose cultivators and warriors who fled to Kunlun for refuge, Kunlun Mountain fought fiercely with the Demon Army for several months, not allowing the Demon Army to move forward. On the contrary, the Demon Kingdom suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the troops sent were killed or wounded, so that all the forces in the Central Continent could take this opportunity to unite to carry out a counterattack and finally destroy the Demon Kingdom. ”

I exclaimed, "I'll go... That's amazing!"

Xu Zilan continued: "The current head of the Kunlun faction is Yunze Daoren, although he rarely shows up, but he has a very high status in the entire continent, and the seven major factions and the emperors of various countries have no disrespect for him. And the Xuanzhen Daoist you are talking about is the master of Yunze Daoren, and the head of the Kunlun faction of the previous generation, and at the same time, the Xuanzhen Daoist is also known as the most outstanding head of the five hundred years and so on... Of course, there are usually many legends about such masters. ”

Very good, this time I was completely blinded, and I said: "I understand, yes, such a hermit master standing at the apex of Middle-earth is indeed not something I can see when I see it." By the way, Zilan and Huixu, with your identity, it should be easier if you want to meet the Xuanzhen Daoist, right?"

Huixu said: "If you want to see the Xuanzhen Daoist, don't say it's a little monk, even the little monk's master is the head of Faleng Temple, and it's not easy to meet the Xuanzhen Taoist who is in retreat all year round." ”

I said, "Alas, forget it, if you can see it, you can see it and say it if you can't see it, my master only said that he had time to go, and he didn't say anything else, let's talk about it when the time comes." ”

Xu Zilan said: "Although Brother You's respected teacher doesn't let you mention his old man's name, judging from Brother You's various signs, your identity must be unusual. ”

I said, "Oh, it doesn't matter, I don't have an identity now, aren't we happy together?
