Chapter 25: Kuiyun Continent I
This continent is called Kuiyun Continent. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info cultivators here are "entering the WTO" cultivation, that is, mortals and cultivators live together. It seems that there are no sects, and there is no habit of self-cherishing, and each country is responsible for cultivating talents. And Sun Xiang also guessed the reason for this situation, and he guessed some at the beginning. The main reason is that human beings have not completely ruled this continent, and the pressure on the survival of the entire human race is not small.
In the Kuiyun Continent, humans do not occupy an absolute dominance position. Humans occupy only the middle part of the continent. On the eastern side of this continent, that is, beyond the Abel Mountains where Sun Xiang once lived for a while, there is the Elven Kingdom. It's the world of elves, and humans are unwelcome there. The elves are a peace-loving race, but because of human greed, the elves have severed relations with humans and have no contact with each other.
And on the western side of the continent, over the Hengduan Mountains, there is the territory of the orc race, where thousands of orc races live. Due to the constant fighting between the various orc races, it has not been able to be unified. But the war between the orcs and the humans has never stopped.
To the south of the continent is an endless sea of sea beasts, among which the dominant one is the Fish-People. Sea beasts are said to be the most abundant creatures on the continent and one of the most powerful groups. It's a pity that they don't like land, so they are not interested in land, and they are also the least threatening race to humans. As a result, the Fish-People and terrestrial humans still trade with each other.
To the north of the continent is the Great Ice Field, which is said to be inhabited by dragons who are friendly with the elves. Humans haven't seen dragons in over a thousand years, and they're about to forget about them.
In addition to these large races, there are also small races such as dwarves and goblins, all of which are dependent on those powerful races in order to survive.
Seeing this, Sun Xiang knew that his guess was correct, and the open cultivation system was the inevitable result of human beings surviving on this continent. The threat of just one orc would force humanity to take such measures.
Sun Xiang was very interested in these alien races. You must know that these alien races are only legendary existences in the Shenzhou Continent. It's a pity that Sun Xiang can only bury this curiosity in his heart, because he has to complete the two goals he has set first.
The central part of the land of the Kuiyun Continent is occupied by humans. There are three of the most powerful empires here, and to the east is the empire where Sun Xiang now lives, the Detulai Empire, also known as the Oriental People. To the west is the Inkran Empire, also known as the Westerners or Barbarians, who have developed a belligerent character because of their long warring with the Orcs. To the south is the Fatrasi Empire, known as the Southerners, who are said to be the ones who know how to enjoy the most.
The three empires did not border, and between them there were kingdoms and lords who were divided by the countries.
Kingdoms have independent sovereignty and their own armies, and in order to survive they will be attached to a certain empire, which is actually a vassal state of the empire and is protected by the empire; Divided lords, on the other hand, are more complicated, some are divided by the empire, some are divided by the kingdom, and they have a common feature: they have no sovereignty and no army, but they can have their own escorts. They also had to pay a percentage of their annual taxes to their fiefdoms, which were of course very small, and their realms were protected by those empires or kingdoms.
In addition to these three empires and those vassal kingdoms, there is also a very special existence in this human habitation - the Temple of Light. It was a religious organization, they were completely independent and not attached to any one empire.
It is said that more than a thousand years ago, the Temple of Light occupied an absolute dominance in human society.
At that time, the entire continent was under its absolute religious rule, and even the succession to the throne of each country required the approval of the Temple of Light. Later, there was a scuffle, and the specific reason could not be found in the Bai family's library, only that this scuffle involved all the races in the continent and almost destroyed the continent.
In the end, although the Temple of Light was defeated, due to some of the practices of the Temple of Light in the Great War, which were criticized for some of its practices, such as being extremely cruel to heretics, driving various kingdoms and ordinary cultivators to be cannon fodder, etc., the prestige and influence of the Temple of Light plummeted. As a result, the three empires took the opportunity to establish and broke away from the control of the Temple of Light, and some kingdoms followed suit, and the Temple of Light gradually declined.
Now the human beings on the continent have basically recognized the current political system, and the Temple of Light has no way to return to the sky.
But there is one exception, and that is the Kingdom of Light, which is where the Temple of Light is located. A small country, it is still a country where politics and religion are combined.
Sun Xiang only wanted to understand these common-sense things, and was not interested in them at all.
After understanding the basic situation of the mainland, Sun Xiang began to study the cultivation situation that he was most concerned about.
This continent is not cultivated by immortals, but by gods!
This was greatly unexpected by Sun Xiang! Even with thousands of years of experience in cultivating immortals, Sun Laoxie didn't know what the difference between immortals and gods was!
There are two main routes in the cultivation system of human beings on this continent, one is to take the magic route, which is called magic here; The other takes the vindictive route, and this type of person is sometimes called a warrior.
Those who practice magic are collectively referred to as magicians, but in fact they are very finely divided, such as thunder, wood, earth, fire, water, etc. are called attribute magicians, and there are also special magicians such as light, darkness, space, and summoning. But no matter what kind of mage level, there are eight levels: magic apprentice, junior mage, intermediate mage, high mage, great mage, mage, archmage, and mage. Above the Fa Saint is the Fa God, which should be regarded as the ninth level. It's a pity that after becoming a god, you have to go to the upper plane, and the laws of heaven and earth do not allow you to stay here.
The magic released by the magician is from the first level of magic to the eighth level according to the corresponding level. In other words, those who can release first-level magic are magic apprentices; Those who can unleash fourth-level magic are high-level magicians; The one who can unleash the eighth-level magic must be the Dharma Saint.
Dou Qi is also a general term, subdivided into knights, thieves, assassins, dragon knights and warriors, etc., the most people who cultivate Dou Qi are warriors, and the number of thieves and assassins is relatively small. Therefore, they are sometimes called warriors.
As for the knights and dragon knights, the Kuiyun Continent has not seen them for more than a thousand years, and the specific reason cannot be found in the Bai family.
The classification of Dou Qi also corresponds to the eight levels of magicians: Trainee Swordsman, Junior Swordsman, Intermediate Swordsman, Senior Swordsman, Great Swordsman, Swordsman, Great Swordsman, and Sword Master. After the Sword Saint, like the Law Saint, he also became a god, called the Sword God, and he was also the ninth level. Of course, characters of this level also need to ascend to the upper realm.
Although the cultivation system of each class is only divided into eight stages, each stage is also divided into early, middle, and late stages.
Whether it is a profession such as a magician or a fighting spirit, the mainland collectively calls them "warriors".
For convenience, magicians also have another title, which are called junior swordsman-level magicians, intermediate swordsman-level magicians, high-level swordsman-level magicians, great swordsman-level magicians, sword-level magicians, great swordsman-level magicians, saint-level magicians, etc. To put it simply, it is to call them by the level of vindictiveness.
In addition to these two main lines, there are also alchemists, pharmacists, array mages, etc., but they are not considered the mainstream of cultivation. Because there are almost no gods, they are not very popular.
The Warcraft here is also divided into eight levels, and the name is also very simple, that is, the first-level Warcraft and the second-level Warcraftγγγγγγ Eighth-level Warcraft. Ninth-level demonic beasts also exist, they are gods among demonic beasts, called beast gods, and they must go to the upper plane. It is said that the eighth-level demonic beasts already have the ability to transform into shapes, and they all like to transform into human forms.
There is no inner pill in the demonic beasts, only the magic core, and only the demon core above the third level has the magic core. The magic core has a wide range of uses, a bit like the demon beast Neidan in Shenzhou, which is mainly used in formations.
There is no refining weapon or alchemy in this continent, so Sun Xiang still has to try whether he can use refining tools and alchemy.
After learning about the situation in the Kuiyun Continent, Sun Xiang was very interested in the cultivation systems of magic, fighting qi, alchemists, and pharmacists. Especially for the two professions of alchemist and pharmacist, Sun Xiang was more interested in it, because he wanted to know what was the difference between these two professions and the alchemy and alchemy in the Divine Immortal Cultivation Realm.
It's a pity that the Bai family's library can't satisfy Sun Xiang's desire. From the Library Pavilion, Sun Xiang knew that only the Empire's Demon Martial Academy had a special discipline to study these two aspects of knowledge, and the smaller academies didn't even have this subject.
Seeing this, Sun Xiang completely determined the second step plan he had made.
After understanding the cultivation system here. For the two cultivation routes, Sun Xiang did serious research and comparison.
The foundation of cultivating magic is spiritual power, because magicians need to use spiritual power to invoke external magical elements, and finally form various magics. Therefore, the higher the level of the magician, the stronger the spiritual power must be. But on the contrary, if a person with strong mental power does not know how to invoke magic elements, or cannot invoke magic elements, then his strength may not be high. It's all about understanding!
Therefore, when the Magic Guild tests the level, it does not look at your mental power, but tests the number of levels of magic you can release, so as to determine your level.
Knowing this, Sun Xiang agrees very much. In fact, the same is true in the world of cultivating immortals. The foundation of an immortal cultivator is the spiritual root, but a good spiritual root does not mean that the strength is high. No matter how good the spiritual root of an immortal cultivator is, if his comprehension is not enough, he will not become successful. After all, comprehension is a very wonderful thing, if you can't comprehend it, you can't comprehend it, even if you have the guidance of the master, it's useless.
