As for the entire periphery of the map, as well as the dark lands, there are endless seas and some dangerous areas.

Because there is a sea barrier between the states, it is impossible to contact the cultivation world of these two regions for the time being, and the demon race has already established a foothold in the northern continent, and the small states connected to it may have already been touched by the demon race.

Looking at the lower half of the map, the southernmost is the Nanling Beast Domain controlled by the Beast Clan, the west is the alien territory of the Alien Spirit Domain, and the richest land in the middle is the Zhongzhou Continent.

At the junction of the three, the five continents of the southeast, northwest, and the northwest, plus the endless sea, a total of six major plates and several small states constitute the entire land of Vientiane.

The human race represented by the Shangzong of Zhongzhou, the alien race of the alien spirit domain and the beast race of the Nanling Beast Domain, the three clans have been fighting constantly all year round, and the big and small wars are non-stop.

With the exception of these three states, the remaining three states are mixed.

Fortunately, the Zhongzhou cultivation world was strong enough to reach a balance with the two clans, and there had not been much conquest in the past few thousand years.

In addition to these three clans, there is not much news about the sea clan forces among the alien races that occupy the vast sea area, but it can be reminiscent of the fact that between the continents of the land of Vientiane, the sea area almost occupies more than half of the land of Vientiane, and its strength is definitely not low.

It's just that the forces of the alien sea clan do not walk with the alien race, and there is no possibility of cooperation, otherwise the strength of the alien race in the land of Vientiane will be incomparable to the land of the extreme east and the land of the extreme soldiers.

Because the formation of this land of Vientiane is prosperous, the sea is larger, there are more suitable living areas for them, and they only live under the sea, and they are often not interested in land battles.

While looking at the map, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh, just the land of the extreme east and the land of the extreme soldiers he went to was so huge.

Coupled with the land of Vientiane, as well as the many areas that he had never been to, how big the entire True Qi Continent was, he couldn't imagine, sure enough, the environment was one of the reasons for the changes, even if there were many strong people in the ancient period, they needed to run all over the entire True Qi Continent, just flying in the void, even an emperor-level powerhouse was probably enough.

And at that time, there was the appearance of the Array Ancestor, the appearance of the Ultra-Far Teleportation Array, and generations of Tianjiao stood out, among which the most shining ones were undoubtedly the Array Ancestor, Dan Ancestor, Instrument Ancestor, and the Ancestor of the major races, as well as the peak of the Great Freedom Demon!!

The more you know, the more you know about your own insignificance.

There is no racial contradiction between the human race and the sea race, so in order to sharpen the human monks, all new sects that open mountains and establish sects, the assessment they go through is often arranged to enter the Nanling Beast Domain or the Alien Spirit Domain and complete the assessment tasks of guidance, rather than entering the sea area.

Among the eighteen domain cities in Zhongzhou, the Ten Thousand Beasts City is the main city closest to the Nanling Beast Domain, so the assessment content of the new sect is generally related to the Nanling Beast Domain.

Li Xuan's fingers tapped on the map, and he whispered to himself, "Is it related to the beast clan?"

Then, put the map away, look into the distance, and stand with your hands behind your back.

In a few months, Xuanmen had completely taken control of this place.

The defense system of the entire valley has been completely transformed, and Li Xuan has transformed the details of the mountain protection formation as much as possible, I am afraid that the people of Zhifengmen will not be able to recognize this formation when they see it again.

With Li Xuan's current formation level, he is above most of the powerhouses of the same age or even the previous generation.

If you want to reach the level of a ground level array mage, even if you are talented, it will take hundreds of years.

But Li Xuan is an outlier, an outright outlier.

After experiencing the battle of extermination to Fengmen, Li Xuan gained a lot of experience points.

If he successfully obtained the opening certification of the Zhongzhou cultivation world and completely landed the Xuanmen here, Li Xuan could also breathe a sigh of relief.

And his cultivation has also improved a lot during this time, and his physical condition has also recovered.

Hatching the Candle Mist Beast required Li Xuan to consume too much essence blood, Li Xuan didn't dare to hatch it rashly, and now the situation was still unclear, so Li Xuan couldn't handle it carefully.

During this period, the Xuanmen disciples began to move around the Ten Thousand Beasts City, and their main task was to gather the resources of the Wind Gate.

In addition to the top-grade spirit stone veins that competed with the Purple Star Palace, Zhifengmen mastered five spirit stone veins, as well as more than a dozen mountain ranges rich in elixir resources.

The location of the Purple Star Palace and the Zhifeng Gate is close to the Hero's Mausoleum, and the terrain is special, and the surrounding sects are relatively rare and there are no other high-level sects.

The more than a dozen adjacent sects nearby were all inferior to them, so they naturally didn't dare to grab resources from the Xuanmen who had destroyed the Zhifeng Gate, and the Xuanmen disciples quickly gathered their resources.

After learning the name of Xuanmen, most of the nearby sects sent people to Xuanmen to pay homage.

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that these sects and the Xuanmen have no conflicts and festivals, even if several of them were affiliated with the Zhifeng Gate, Li Xuan turned a blind eye and didn't mention it.

Of course, there are also one or two small sects that don't open their eyes, and they want to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but Li Xuan makes them pay the due price without mercy.

Some people once questioned that the fall of the Zhifeng Gate was mainly because of the Purple Star Palace, and this unknown Xuanmen was just following behind to pick up cheap.

But after seeing Li Xuan's thunderous methods, no sect in the vicinity dared to question the strength of the Xuanmen, and they all asked to become a subsidiary sect of the Xuanmen to seek refuge.

In this regard, Li Xuan was noncommittal, neither agreed nor refused.

The reason for not agreeing is very simple, it is not so simple to become a subsidiary sect of Xuanmen, and there is only one Purple Star Palace in Zhongzhou so far.

The Purple Star Palace is a high-level third-grade sect, and these small sects together are less than half of it.

However, these are not the fundamental reasons why Li Xuan rejected them, the most important thing is that once there are more affiliated sects, the management cost will be high, and there will be many things.

Li Xuan didn't want the affiliated sect to be just a form in name, and once he accepted the affiliated sect, he would give different degrees of help.

In this way, it is inevitable that some secrets of the Xuanmen will be leaked, and it will also waste his own time, which is obviously not what Li Xuan wants to see.

If you don't agree, you can't simply refuse, after all, these small sects are not far from the outer gate of the Xuanmen, if you let them invest in the forces of other major sects, it is not to let the eyes of others be planted in front of you.

Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to maintain a relationship that is not close or far away, and the Xuanmen can protect the safety of these small sects, as well as maintain the previous relationship pattern here.

After these sects' requests were rejected many times, they gradually figured out the thoughts of the Xuanmen before they were relieved, and the relationship between the sects within a radius of hundreds of miles gradually stabilized, and the Xuanmen and the Purple Star Palace sect were respected in everything.

As for the relationship between Xuanmen and the Purple Star Palace, they didn't know.

The spiritual energy above Zhongzhou is abundant and the resources are abundant, and under normal circumstances, the high-level sects have a fixed sphere of influence, and they will not easily fight across borders.

Only in the sensitive border area, new ore veins or elixirs and other resources are discovered, which will trigger the strife and conflict of the major sects.

If there are too many sects involved in the conflict and the influence is too wide, the domain master who controls this domain will come forward to intervene.

Of course, this situation is limited to the territory of a state ruled by one domain master, and it is a different matter if it involves a conflict between two states.

No matter how abundant the resources are, the later the cultivation can be, the greater the consumption, and when the domain master reaches the realm of the War Emperor, the things he pursues are different from those of ordinary cultivators, and he will still fight when he should fight.

In general, the power structure of the sects in the Zhongzhou cultivation realm is relatively stable, so that they can gather the power of a continent to compete with the beast races and foreign races.

Inside the main hall of the Purple Star Palace.

The Great Elder reported to Li Xuan and Zi Mu the information he had recently gathered.

Since the Xuanmen had not yet passed the assessment of the Zhongzhou cultivation world, it was inconvenient for the disciples to move around in the Ten Thousand Beasts City, so the intelligence work was mainly in charge of the Great Elder, who was operating in the Great City in the name of the Purple Star Palace.

"Second Elder Lan Yifeng's identity has been clarified, his true identity was originally a core disciple of the Lion Tiger Sect, but this time he has returned to the sect and has been promoted to the position of elder. ”

The Great Elder's first message mentioned Lan Yifeng, and when he mentioned this traitor, Zi Mu gritted his teeth.

Strictly speaking, Lan Yifeng is not a traitor but a traitor, because he has been here with a purpose since he joined the Purple Star Palace.

It's just that he has a bit of ability as a traitor, and he has endured it for so many years, and he has become the second elder.

"Lan Yifeng's matter is mainly to blame me, if I hadn't noticed it for a while, I wouldn't have given him a chance. ”

Zi Mu blamed herself.

Li Xuan looked through the detailed information about Lan Yifeng and asked, "Lion Tiger Sect, what is the reputation of this sect?"

"The reputation of the Lion and Tiger Sect is average, the mountain gate is on the periphery of the Ten Thousand Beasts City, and there is an outer gate in the Ten Thousand Beasts City, which is a high-grade second-grade sect, and its strength can be ranked in the top three in the Ten Thousand Beasts City. ”

The Great Elder has been dealing with the affairs of the outer gate of the Purple Star Palace all year round, and he is no stranger to the Lion Tiger Sect.

The strength of the Lion Tiger Sect's high-grade second grade is even higher than that of the Purple Star Palace, and the most important thing is that this sect is one of the eight major sects in Zhongzhou, and it is one of the affiliated sects of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

"Relying on the support of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the Lion and Tiger Sect has always acted unscrupulously, and even the domain lord has to give them a few thin faces. ”

The Grand Elder added.

Li Xuan stood up and walked a few steps, thinking, "Lan Yifeng must have been sent by the sect to lurk in the Purple Star Palace, what are they for?

"Is it for the Candle Mist?"

Zi Mu's expression moved, and he immediately remembered Lan Yifeng's suspicious places several times.

When he didn't know Lan Yifeng's true identity before, Zi Mu didn't think too much, but now looking back, Lan Yifeng had inquired about the news of spirit beast eggs several times.

After listening to what Zi Mu said, Li Xuan and the Great Elder felt that her guess was not far from ten.

Zi Mu sighed: "Fortunately, I didn't easily say anything about the Candle Mist Beast Egg, otherwise they would really know something." ”

Before Li Xuan came, even Zi Mu didn't know that the egg was actually a candle mist beast egg, but he was still tight-lipped about the second elder Lan Yifeng.

"When the Fengmen besieged our sect, it was Lan Yifeng who almost let them succeed, why did the Lion and Tiger Sect suddenly ignore it later?"

Now that the cause and effect were clear, the Great Elder thought of a new question.

Li Xuan knocked on the table and speculated, "Perhaps, the Lion and Tiger Sect may not know too specifically, maybe they have also been ordered by others." ”

"Could it be the instigation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?"

After being reminded by Li Xuan, Zi Mu and the Great Elder blurted out.

"It's possible. ”

Li Xuan said.
