Chapter 353: The Reason for Venerable Hong's Journey South
Hua Duxiu was stunned, "demonic energy"?
You want to talk to me about "demonic energy"?
It's so sudden, I thought you were going to talk to me about Qiqi's marriage...... Oh no, I thought you were going to ask me about the Good Sect.
Hua Duxiu scratched his head and said, "Uncle Shi, your topic came suddenly, I couldn't react a little, and I didn't know how to talk about it for a while." ”
Ding Qiqi said stupidly: "Xiaohua, aren't you quite clever, and when you can't react?"
Hua Duxiu said: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not clever at all, others say that I am a generous and honest person." ”
"In that case, Uncle Shi, please tell me, how could Uncle Hong appear in our Trapped Demon Valley Netherworld County thousands of miles away, almost across the entire Northern Plateau, and through half of the Black Forest?"
Hua Duxiu said: "Before I came to Vermilion Bird Valley, I didn't know that the road was so far away, and after this trip, I thought that Uncle Hong and Qiqi suddenly appeared there, and the more I thought about it, the more strange I felt. ”
Venerable Yan nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, Senior Sister Hong and Qi Qi traveled to your Netherworld County Soul Dang Mountain for the purpose of investigating the so-called 'demonic qi'. ”
"I think you have also noticed that the various cultivation sects in our Five Elements Heaven and Earth Realm are not as harmonious as you imagined, and many sects will fight openly and secretly like the sects of other realms for various reasons. ”
Hua Duxiu nodded: "Yes, many cultivators I have met are indeed more generous than our martial artists who practice boxing and sword training, but they still can't jump out of the square and don't ask about the world." ”
Venerable Yan said, "Let me first give you a general introduction to the situation in the entire Five Elements Heaven and Earth Realm, and you will also have your own judgment. ”
Venerable Yan introduced that the boundary of the Five Elements Heaven and Earth, including the entire northern plateau, has a radius of nearly 2,000 miles, with more than 40 large and small cities, plus scattered herdsmen, etc., with a total population of more than 10 million, which can be regarded as a vast and sparsely populated land.
Here, there are very few traditional martial arts schools that specialize in boxing or sword training.
This is the most prosperous realm of the Five Elements in the world, and almost all of the large and small sects are cultivating immortals, mainly one of the five elements, and occasionally there will be two or more cultivation gates.
And these immortal cultivation sects, according to their strength and location, the strongest ones have always been collectively referred to as "one capital, five gates and sixteen sects", and the other slightly weaker ones are the so-called "seventy-two famous courts".
The strongest nature is Bai Yujing, who lives in the White Dragon Snow Mountain in the middle of the Northern Plateau, and they mainly cultivate wood and earth techniques. The White Dragon Snow Mountain is towering into the clouds, covered with snow all year round, and is recognized as a holy place by all the immortal cultivators in the Nine Realms of the whole world, and Bai Yujing is hidden at the foot of the highest peak, Yujing Mountain.
The so-called "Five Sects and Sixteen Sects" are not as stable as Bai Yujing.
"Five Sects" is the collective name of the five most advanced sects in the realm of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the realm of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth.
At present, the "Five Gates", the representative force of the water system is the White Sun Gate of the Northern Vale, and the representative force of the fire system is the Hongmen of the Vermilion Bird Valley.
Because of their attributes, these two families are located in the same Zhenwu County, and the Vermilion Bird Valley and the Tamsui River Valley are connected from end to end, and they are connected up and down by a jade belt river, and there has been constant friction for a long time.
In the south, the representative force of the soil system is the Houtumen of Huangyun Mountain, and the representative force of the wood system is the splendid mountains and rivers of Qingcheng Mountain, and the two families have been friends for generations and are in an alliance.
Between the mountains and mountains in the west, there is a majestic Iron Furnace Ridge, where the Feather Cloth Gate is the representative of the gold power.
The east of the northern plateau leads directly to the sea, and there are no "five gates" level of power.
There are several "Venerable" level masters in each of the above five sects, and there is even an old immortal with the strength of "Heavenly Venerable" in Bai Yujing, which is also where Bai Yujing's confidence lies in transcending the world.
The so-called sixteen sects, including Qi Yuzong, Heming Sect, Zhongnanmen, Shangshan Sect, Yulingguan, Laojun Palace, Shiguling, etc., are not weak, and the other seventy-two courts are slightly worse.
Among the sixteen sects, there may be one or two masters with the strength of the "Venerable", and as for the weaker ones and the seventy-two famous courts, the strongest is the master of the "real person" level.
Speaking of this, Venerable Yan smiled slightly and said, "Dude, you probably don't know much about what real people, Venerable, and Tianzun mean, let's put it this way, I'll briefly talk about the sword master as an example." ”
Hua Duxiu actually understands it in general, after all, he has known Lu Ziye for a long time, and he is accompanied by Ding Qiqi all the way to the north, he is no stranger to the division of the Taoist realm, but Venerable Yan is willing to talk about it, and he is happy to listen to it.
Venerable Yan said: "In your south, the sword practice realm is divided into five major levels: 'No Flow-Iron Chopping-Sword Qi Release-Gangjin-Human Sword Integration', and each level is subdivided into four small realms of 'Entry-Xiaocheng-Dacheng-Consummation', right?"
Hua Duxiu said secretly, how did we become the south?
You have to go, you northern plateaus are amazing, look at everyone is southerners.
Hua Duxiu said lightly: "That's right. ”
Venerable Yan nodded and said: "We cultivators also correspond to the five great realms, which are 'foundation building-perception-manipulation-transformation-unity', in addition to opening the foundation, anyone who steps into the other four realms will get the corresponding titles, respectively'Warlock-True Person-Venerable-Heavenly Venerable', and his strength realm can be roughly judged from a person's title." ”
Hua Duxiu said: "Then our dignified Hongmen is one of the 'five gates', I don't know how many masters of Venerable Strength?"
Venerable Yan said, "Including me, there are three people. ”
Hua Duxiu was stunned: "Only three people?
Venerable Yan said, "Oh, the playboy is surprised?"
Hua Duxiu said: "According to the division of the realm, the Venerable corresponds to the 'Gangjin' master who practices our sword, or the 'invincible' who practices boxing. Not to mention that there are as many as seven or eight masters at this level in the Demon Flow Mansion, in Mobei Martial Arts, there are even more masters at this level, and the Leopard King Gate who has troubled me all the way, several of them are all strong people in the realm of 'invincible', and the four old monsters who almost broke my legs have even reached the realm of Great Perfection, and there are at least four or five such sects in Mobei, so I feel that there are only three masters of our Venerable strength, which is really a little less. ”
Venerable Yan nodded and said, "Cultivation and boxing are not the same after all, and this is not easy to compare with who is strong and who is weak. Mo Yunzi's strength is extraordinary, probably in the realm of 'control' Dacheng, but if he fights with a playboy, I'm afraid it's far inferior, right?"
Hua Duxiu waved his hand: "Where is it, I am a weak chicken, and I have only 'internal force and external release' entry realm, which is not comparable to Mo Yunzi." ”
Venerable Yan smiled and said: "The playboy is modest, you are on the top of the Soul Dang Mountain, in the duel with the old man of the Leopard King Gate, and the strength you showed when you fought against Mo Yunzi yesterday is no longer a person in the realm of 'real people' can compete." ”
Hua Duxiu said modestly: "It must be Uncle Hong who praises me unprincipledly, you also know that I am a more likable person, Uncle Hong looks at me pleasing to the eye, and it is inevitable to praise me a few words." ”
Venerable Yan couldn't help laughing, Ding Qiqi stuck out his tongue and whispered, "What a thick skin!"
Venerable Yan continued: "Cultivation is not like practicing fists and swords, it is useless to simply work hard, and talent is the most decisive factor. Just like Qiqi, she is only fifteen years old, but her cultivation has reached the realm of 'control' Dacheng, which can be compared to Mo Yunzi, and it can even be said that ten or twenty years later, Qiqi can steadily step into the ranks of 'Venerables', this is the gap in talent. ”
Hua Duxiu nodded: "That must, Qiqi is definitely a treasure in a thousand miles, I have a unique eye for Hua Duxiu, and I can see that she is different at first glance." ”
Ding Qiqi was praised by the two of them, and the two braids on his head were upturned.
Venerable Yan said: "Cultivation depends on talent, and if you want to cultivate to a certain high level, you must also see whether your talent is enough, which directly determines the ceiling of cultivation. Therefore, there are very few of us cultivators who can enter the ranks of 'Venerables', and it is completely different from practicing fists and swords. ”
Hua Duxiu said she understood.
Venerable Yan changed his words and returned to the topic: "Don't you want to know why Senior Sister Hong and Qi Qi went south to the Trapped Demon Valley? That's the case, a few months ago, we had a big conflict with Bai Rimen, and during the duel, suddenly a few martial artists with strange auras attacked me, caught me off guard, and almost turned into a big hatred. ”
Hua Duxiu was stunned: "A warrior with a strange atmosphere?"
Venerable Yan said, "Yes." In that battle, because I didn't want to make too much of a fuss, neither we nor Bai Rimen sent out a master of the strength of the 'Venerable', I will go to the scene, and I just want to take the opportunity to observe how Bai Rimen's strength has developed over the years. ”
"At that time, I was quietly hiding in the shadows alone, but who knew that four strange people suddenly appeared around me, and these four people exuded strange black qi on their hands, and they could even use black gas to transform black flames, and the destructive power was very amazing. ”
"The four of them teamed up to kill one of me, I thought they were disciples of some sect that cultivated fire-based magic, but after fighting, I realized that it wasn't at all, the black flames they used were completely different from the flames we condensed with Wuji True Qi, they didn't have the slightest trace of Wuji True Qi on their bodies, and there was a strange aura that made people feel frightened. ”
Hua Duxiu asked, "Is it demonic energy?"
Venerable Yan nodded: "When I finally broke out of the encirclement, these four people disappeared immediately, and there was no intention of entanglement and pursuit at all." After I returned to Hongmen, I thought back to the time and felt that the strange aura on their bodies was the 'demonic qi' that the Divine Dragon Empire was trying to destroy in every possible way!"
Hua Duxiu: "...... So, in order to investigate the truth of the matter, Uncle Hong went to Soul Dangshan Mountain?"
Venerable Yan said, "That's right. Looking at the Nine Realms of the world, the only openly demonic existence in this world is the place where the first great monarch annihilated the demon king and suppressed the demonic qi with the Demon Suppression Tower, which is Soul Dangshan Mountain. ”
"The Demon King has been killed for more than a thousand years, and even the so-called people who have been infected by the Demon Qi for hundreds of years have been arrested by the Empire, it is said that there should be no one in this world who has the Demon Qi and can refine the Demon Qi as a martial art. At that time, I was seriously injured and had not yet recovered, and there was a master in charge of Hongmen, so Senior Sister Hong took the initiative to ask Ying to go south, wanting to go there to see what was so special, hoping to find the source of the assassination. ”
