It's still as lively as ever, but I always feel that Taoyuan City has become a little different.

Walking along the road, when the City Lord's Mansion was in sight, Xiao Chen finally knew what was different.

With a touch of purity, the current Taoyuan City is not like the Taoyuan Cocktail Party. Dragons and snakes are mixed, the two ways of righteousness and demons gather, all kinds of people with heart and lungs come to come, and there is more chaos in the bustle.

Throwing away the glitz and chaos, Taoyuan City is actually a quiet and restrained city.

In addition to fine wine, Xiao Chen has some of them, and the martial style of Taoyuan City is quite common.

Everywhere, master duels.

Many martial artists even made Xiao Chen's eyes light up, and he stopped to watch for a long time.

"These are all warriors under the city lord's gate, how about it, you can still see it. Urging the old man beside Xiao Chen, he laughed softly.

Xiao Chen said softly: "Urging the old man to be humble, I see that the quality and strength of these martial artists are already comparable to the disciples of the Seven Rank Sect." Even some, even compared to the inner disciples of the Seven Rank Sect, they are not far behind. Taoyuan City, it's really a little surprising to me, is this specially cultivated by the city lord?"

Urging the old man said with a smile: "In the barren sea, occupying such a piece of feng shui treasure, of course the city lord alone cannot deter other strengths. Besides, the city lord always has a big time, and he always has to plan for the future of Taoyuan City. However, these people are not specially looking for by the city lord, most of them come here, and the city lord does not accept everyone. ”

The two talked while walking, and after entering the City Lord's Mansion, they urged the veteran Xiao Chen to lead the City Lord's Mansion to a quiet attic.

"Let's go in, the lord has been waiting for a long time. ”

Xiao Chen pushed the door in, there was no one on the first floor, no one on the second floor, and when he walked to the top floor, he saw the Taoyuan Emperor who was pouring himself a drink.

"I've seen my seniors. Xiao Chen bowed.

Emperor Taoyuan put down his wine glass and looked at Xiao Chen, his eyes as deep as stars flashed with a trace of doubt.

His eyes saw a hazy dragon shadow behind Xiao Chen, and when he wanted to see it clearly, he found that the dragon shadow was ethereal and boundless, and he couldn't catch it.

Just as he was about to forcibly capture it, a pair of dragon eyes suddenly appeared, glaring angrily, making the Taoyuan Emperor's heart tremble slightly.

Such a powerful dragon power, what kind of bloodline it is, I can't see clearly.

However, it is certain that he has definitely mastered the mysteries of the Heavenly Dragon.

The power implied by the dragon shadow is much stronger than it was four years ago, almost to the point of turning the virtual into the real.

Interesting.

Emperor Taoyuan's face remained unchanged, and he laughed softly: "Xiaoyou, it's really surprising to me, four years ago, I took out the burning heart. Now I haven't seen it for four years, this body of Longwei, but even I can't look at it directly. ”

Xiao Chen sensed a little just now, his own Long Wei secretly clashed with the Taoyuan Emperor, but it was not under his control.

It was the majesty of the Qinglong Shenwei itself, which spontaneously formed a counterattack after being peeped at.

"The lord of the city is polite. ”

Emperor Taoyuan didn't ask much about this, and said directly: "Your intention, I told me about the old man." You have a good idea, and you are not blindly arrogant because you have been given an opportunity. After all, casual cultivation is casual cultivation, and without anyone to guide you, you will either embark on the path of demons, or you will be complacent, and it will be difficult to move forward. After being promoted to the emperor, the resources required are even more astronomical, and if there is no super power behind it, it will not be able to maintain it at all. ”

Xiao Chen groaned, "So, what does the predecessor mean?"

"Join the Heavenly Alliance, you are not my disciple, and you have no name as a master and apprentice, and I have no obligation to guide you. In fact, even if I am a gatekeeper of Taoyuan City, I rarely give instructions in person, and when I reach the realm of the emperor, I will not do more meaningless things. ”

The Taoyuan Emperor looked at Xiao Chen, and his voice came slowly, giving people a feeling of extreme distantness. It was obviously close in front of him, but it made Xiao Chen feel that between the two of them, it seemed like an ocean.

"Celestial?"

Xiao Chen had heard of the Heavenly Alliance, which was a force composed of the world's top chambers of commerce. In addition to this, there are also many grandmaster-level alchemists and refiners, mysterious and powerful.

It is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with the core existence of the Heavenly Alliance.

"That's right, it's Tianmeng, you've probably heard of it somewhat. ”

"Yes, I heard of it. The sword in my hand was forged with the help of a Heavenly Alliance's refiner. ”

Emperor Taoyuan sighed lightly: "Oh, I didn't expect there to be contact." Don't ask me, I'll ask you first, what kind of power do you think is a super power?"

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and said, "In the Northern Regions, the Divine Dragon Empire, the Bai Ze Empire, and the Tiansu Palace should be regarded as super forces. There are six sects of the Demon Dao, and there are four great dynasties...... The Seven Rank Sect should be regarded as a super power. ”

The strength of the Divine Dragon Empire, Xiao Chen deeply understands it, just a Heavenly Dragon Outer Temple, which makes Xiao Chen feel like a behemoth.

Not to mention, there are six other more powerful outer halls, as well as the incomparably profound Ancestral Dragon City.

Such a force, if it is not a super power, then there is no super power.

"That's right, the Seven Rank Sect, the four great dynasties can be regarded as super forces in your eyes. But in the eyes of the emperor, in this era of martial arts, there are only eight super forces in the world, except for Tianxiang. The Pirate Alliance, the Heavenly Alliance, the Mixed Yuan Sect that controls the Tianwu Dynasty, the Lingyin Temple that controls the Yanwu Dynasty, the Xuantian Holy Land that controls the Shenwu Dynasty, and the Martial God Palace behind the Eight Great Empires, as well as the Demon God Temple behind the Blood Martial Dynasty and the Hades Temple in the underworld. ”

The Taoyuan Emperor told a lot of secrets that Xiao Chen didn't know at all.

"Since the birth of the Martial Arts Era, there have been many changes in the power structure, and the cards will be reshuffled after every battle between the righteous and the demon. After the last Great War of Righteousness and Demons, it is now these eight super forces that are jointly in charge of the Martial Arts Era. ”

Emperor Taoyuan looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Do you know why I'm telling you this?"

Xiao Chen was puzzled.

"I want to raise your horizons, I once told you that there is an existence behind the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor that cannot be messed with. In fact, it is the Martial God Palace, the oldest and most mysterious existence among the eight super forces. ”

Emperor Taoyuan's words made Xiao Chen feel deeply shocked, which was indeed a bit beyond his imagination.

It was hard for him to imagine that there was such a terrifying force behind the Seven Rank Sect.

What surprised him even more was that there was actually a Martial God Palace in this world, and he didn't know if Kunlun's Martial God Palace had anything to do with the Martial God Palace in this vast world.

"In front of these eight super forces, all the seven-rank sects are vulnerable and incomparably small. In fact, any sixth-grade sect or seventh-grade sect you can see is inextricably linked to the major super forces behind it. ”

The Taoyuan Emperor paused, and then said: "For example, I am behind the Taoyuan City is the Heavenly Alliance, I can be so carefree and occupy a rare feng shui treasure in the barren sea, in addition to my own strength, it is more because of the Heavenly Alliance." ”

The surprising news, one after another, Xiao Chen was already a little numb, and said softly: "So the city lord suggested that I join the Heavenly Alliance?"

Emperor Taoyuan poured himself a glass of wine and laughed softly: "Don't talk so dead, whether you can join the Heavenly Alliance or not, it's not certain." Super power, naturally, will only absorb the most talented and valuable martial artists in the martial arts era, and you are very talented, bloodline, and comprehension are good. But do you know how vast this martial arts era is? In the Central World alone, there are as many geniuses as many as stars, not to mention the existence of other groups. Although the Outer Realm is not as strong as the aura of the Central World, it can be defeated by the huge number of warriors, and the number of people is more than a million times larger than the base of the Central World. As far as I know, you have come from the Outlands step by step to the present, can you guarantee that there will not be a second you in the Outlands?"

"The answer is yes, there must be an existence comparable to you in the outer realms, because the base is too large, even in the remote star field, there is still the possibility of giving birth to peerless leaders. ”

Emperor Taoyuan's words made Xiao Chen fall into deep thought, which was indeed very reasonable.

"The main reason why I asked you to join the Heavenly Alliance is that, compared to other super forces, the Heavenly Alliance is organized by the Chamber of Commerce after all. The members of the alliance, compared to the disciples of his super power, do not have too many constraints on Hong Kong, and can choose to withdraw at any time. For example, I have almost nothing to do with the Heavenly Alliance now. I won't go to the Heavenly Alliance Headquarters unless I need to. ”

Emperor Taoyuan took a sip of wine, and then said: "The Heavenly Alliance's requirements for the identity of martial artists are not as strict as those of other forces. For example, now, as long as I recommend you, you have the qualifications to participate in the selection of the Heavenly Alliance, and it is not so easy for other super forces. ”

"Of course, the most important reason why you are allowed to go to the Heavenly Alliance is that I have not recommended a disciple to successfully join the Heavenly Alliance for many, many years. Although I don't have much to do with the Heavenly Alliance, this is a very shameful thing for me, and I hope you can fight for me. ”

After talking for a long time, it turned out that the last sentence was the point.

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, the circle of Taoyuan Emperor Jun is big enough.

However, if you don't go around such a big circle, it is difficult for you to have a general understanding of super forces.
