Seeing Ye Lan so surprised, Wen Feng smiled and said, "You Dao Ning Zhan has conquered this huge country in just a few decades, what kind of majestic strategy is there? If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation had reached an extremely high level at that time, and he relied on his supernatural powers to conquer the city and conquer the land, how could this Tianning Empire expand so quickly!"

Ye Lan was stunned and asked, "Ning Zhan is actually a cultivator?"

Wen Feng nodded and said, "Seven hundred years ago, when he first revealed his cultivation, he was already in the Wind Controlling Realm. Later, when I hit the border of this Nanhua country, I heard that I had cultivated to the Yuanying realm, but I don't know what realm it is now. He is the Emperor of Birds, and he is entangled in mundane affairs, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate to the Chaos Realm. ”

Yan Zhuoran echoed: "That's right! Ning Zhan is still a cultivator in the Yuan Infant Realm. He is the emperor, the Tianning Empire has been peaceful for more than 600 years, no one has ever seen him show his supernatural powers, and he doesn't know how many layers of the Yuanying Realm he is now. But he didn't reach the Chaos Realm, but there was no suspicion. ”

Zhu Wenchang also said: "That's nature! The Yuanying Realm cultivator will have a great vision when he crosses the chaotic tribulation of heaven and earth, and he can't hide it." If Ning Zhan caused the Chaos Tribulation, the major cultivation sects would never be ignorant. ”

"The Yuan Infant Realm is already very remarkable! I didn't know that a monk could also be an emperor. Ye Lan's tone was full of admiration.

Wen Feng said with a smile: "Listening to your tone, it seems to be very fascinating, don't you also want to grab a piece of land and get an emperor to be a pawn?"

Ye Lan's face turned red, as if he remembered something from the past, he was slightly distracted, and then said embarrassedly: "How can there be ......?"

Yan Zhuoran said: "Brother Ye doesn't know, although the Immortal Dao Gate Valve has a transcendent status, he rarely participates in mundane affairs. There are countless large and small kingdoms in northern Xinjiang, all of which are ruled by the emperors of various countries. The practice of cultivation is very strong in the world, and there are many emperors and nobles who are dedicated to the Tao. However, there is a rule in the cultivation realm that if the earthly emperor clan wants to apprentice to the Tao, he needs to let go of the authority of the worldly title. Therefore, the monk is not worthy of the emperor. Although monks can also enter the court as officials when they reach a certain level of cultivation, or even wait to worship the prime minister, it is only a mortal experience, which helps to practice, and one day they will hang up the seal and leave. Being self is not the same as being an emperor. ”

Ye Lan was puzzled: "Then how did Ning Zhan use the cultivation of the Yuanying Realm to be the emperor for more than seven hundred years?"

"It's a strange thing. Ning Zhan has been a seeker since he was a child and wants to practice immortal law. Although the Tianning Kingdom was small back then, the Ning family was also the head of a country after all, and it was not difficult for the children of the family to worship the Xiuzhen Sect. It's just that Ning Zhan is the only son of the old emperor, if he abandons the royal power to become a monk, there will be no one to pass on the throne of Tianning Kingdom. Yan Zhuoran shook his head slightly, and continued: "That Ning Zhan was not willing to lose the throne in his hands, and he didn't want to stop thinking about cultivating the Dao, so he had to hire a teacher with a lot of money, hoping to learn some Taoism. But the monk was limited to the rules, and no one dared to teach him authentic immortal arts. Ning Zhan spent countless efforts and learned at the age of twenty, and only learned some fists and feet and methods to strengthen the body, barely better than the martial arts people in the world, but he didn't learn the Taoist skills at all. In a fit of rage, he dismissed the gang of teachers who took money and did not teach their skills, and stopped cultivating the Tao. After a few years, the old emperor died, so he honestly sat on the dragon chair and became the emperor. ”

Ye Lan frowned and said, "Since he was still an ordinary person until he ascended the throne, how could he suddenly have this height and deep cultivation?"

Zhu Wenchang interjected: "This matter is really puzzling, I have consulted many historical books, and the description of this matter is very vague, and I can't explain why. Brother Yan is knowledgeable and wants to know the reason for this. ”

Yan Zhuoran shook his head and said, "I don't know the reason for this. It is only known that Ning Zhan ascended the throne as emperor for more than ten years, and made great efforts to govern the country, and the national strength increased greatly. Tianning Kingdom borders on the Great Sage Empire, and the Great Sage Kingdom relies on its national strength to be strong, and has never looked down on Tianning, and Tianning has always dared to be angry and dare not speak. One day, the Great Sage once again waved his army south, invaded the Tianning border, and Ning Zhan no longer tolerated it, and drove the expedition in person. On the battle array, as soon as he made a move, he was the Dao cultivation of the Wind Realm, and the soldiers of the Great Sage Empire were unable to resist, and Tianning won in one battle. ”

"When the news reached the various sects in the cultivation realm, the sects were greatly shaken, and I really didn't know how Ning Zhan had cultivated from an ordinary person who had no Dao method to the wind control realm in just over ten years. The major factions thought that someone did not abide by the rules of the cultivation realm and taught the Ning Zhan Dao method privately, and they were quite angry for a while and vowed to investigate the matter. After many investigations, they found that Ning Zhan's Taoism was self-contained, and it did not belong to any sect in Northern Xinjiang, and it was obviously not learned from other monks. I don't know what adventures he had, so he embarked on the path of cultivation. ”

Wen Feng took a sip of wine and snorted coldly: "What other adventures can there be, either you have picked up some immortal cheats, or you have eaten some magical elixir." The grass and trees in the world will give birth to countless goblins as time goes by. Since Ning Zhan is self-taught, where is there any other way? It's just a big luck, is it really a genius?"

"What Senior Brother Wen said is not right!" Zhu Wenchang shook his head again and again, "Ning Zhan was able to cultivate to the Wind Realm in just over ten years, and then practiced all the way to the Yuanying Realm in less than a hundred years, even if he had a great adventure, this talent is already rare in the world." ”

Wen Feng's eyes rolled and he was disdainful, but Yan Zhuoran nodded and said, "What Brother Zhu said is very true." Ning Zhan had many children, and after he became successful, he passed on the Taoism to the princes and princesses. The princes and princesses each led troops and horses to attack the city and plunder the land, and the four sides conquest. How could the worldly generals be their opponents? Therefore, the territory of the Tianning Empire expanded rapidly, and it was in the limelight for a while. According to the rules of the cultivation realm, no matter whether a monk is from a good or evil background, anyone who cultivates above the Jindan realm is strictly forbidden to join the army. But Ning Zhan's family has no sect and no faction, and he belongs to the royal family, and all the major sects want to intervene, but they are unknown. Ning Zhan is very measured in his work. On the battle array, he only used Taoism to kill the generals and capture the city, but he never relied on the immortal method to slaughter the soldiers. When he encounters righteous disciples who are in the army, he often opens up the net and lets people live. ”

Wen Feng said with a smile: "His trick is very clever. The major righteous path sects already looked down on him unpleasantly, if it weren't for his acquaintance and not hurting the righteous path disciples, how could the major sects have a break with him?"

"Yes, Ning Zhan is really outstanding in governing the country. Yan Zhuoran showed a look of approval on his face, "Every time he conquers a country, he will widely implement benevolent government and give light to the meager endowment." If there is a demon first-class trouble, he will also get rid of it. The people of all countries have been in war for a long time, and they have lived a stable life under the rule of Ning Zhan. For a time, the people were aspiring, and they were all called saints. ”

Zhu Wenchang also nodded and said, "Because of this, although the major righteous path sects feel that it is really unorthodox to let a Yuan Infant Realm master rule such a large country. But firstly, Ning Zhan was very polite to the major factions, secondly, he had never used spells such as divine thunder to slaughter soldiers, and he could not be eliminated in the name of indiscriminately killing innocents, and thirdly, he won the hearts of the people, and the major factions could not, so they had to turn a blind eye and let him go. ”

Ye Lan smiled and said, "In this way, this Ning Zhan can be regarded as a good emperor." It's just that the appetite is a little bigger. Fortunately, he did not attack Nanhua back then, if he defeated Nanhua and then expanded into the sea, the consequences would be really unimaginable. The strength of the dragon clan is so strong, the little brother has seen it with his own eyes, we must not provoke the dragon clan!"

Yan Zhuoran listened to Ye Lan's dragon clan, his eyes lit up, he was obviously very interested, and he opened his mouth to ask, but he heard Wen Feng shouting: "Little Er, bring another jar of wine!"

Xiao Er came in response, replaced the empty wine jar, filled everyone's wine bowls, and bowed down. The crowd raised their bowls and drank. The eldest grandson Wenquan was speechless for a long time, and seeing that everyone was speechless at this time, he turned his head to look out the window and looked at the carriages and horses on the street: "Thanks to Ning Zhan, this is the only way to have this prosperous scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment." It is also a rare blessing for the common people to avoid the suffering of war and enjoy a stable life. ”

Zhu Wenchang glanced out the window a few times, suddenly sighed lightly, and said: "Although these mortals were born in a peaceful world and did not suffer from war, their lives are short for decades, but they are only a flick of a finger. Mortals compete for fame and fortune, intrigue, muddy, and don't know what the old will do. After a few decades, it will return to dust, and life does not know where it came from, and death does not know where it goes. Living like this, dying a few years early and dying a few years later, dying on the battlefield or dying on the sickbed, in fact, there is no difference, the general suffering is more and less happiness, and the general is insignificant. ”

Changsun Wen thought that this was good, there is a way that life is short, but I am afraid that it is not that life is short and bitter, but that life is short and bitter, then it is really tasteless and tight. Thinking of this, he also sighed lightly, and his face showed pity.

Yan Zhuoran smiled indifferently and said, "I, a monk, and hard practice, if we get rid of such fate. It's just that only when we cultivate to the realm of the desolation and live with heaven and earth can we really jump out of the mortal world and become immortals. There are no monks in the world, how many people can attain the Immortal Dao? Not to mention the Flood Realm, even if it is to cultivate to the Yuanying Realm and the Chaos Realm, it is also extremely difficult. But how can there be a chaotic realm in the world that has lived for more than 100,000 years? Mortal life is not more than 100 years old, and compared with the world and leisure, it is only a moment. But we will cultivate to the Chaos Realm and live for tens of thousands of years, and we will inevitably die after all. Ordinary beings are pitiful, but where are we strong?"

Zhu, Wen, and the eldest grandson heard Yan Zhuoran say this, and their hearts were all gloomy. Everyone is young and promising, and they can devote themselves to immortal sects such as Taixu Gate, which can be described as having a promising future. The three of them are not arrogant and arrogant, but the status of the person who feels the truth is higher than that of ordinary people, it is a matter of course, at this moment, listening to Yan Zhuoran's words, he thought that he was no different from ordinary people, and he felt that it was vibration and gloomy.

Ye Lan's face is still as usual, his cultivation is arbitrary and natural, and he has not been strictly supervised by his elders since he was a child, he only feels that cultivation and eating and sleeping are generally daily affairs, and there is nothing special about it, he is young, he has never experienced any life and death, and he has no desire for immortality. As he knew in his life, whether it was a monk, a barbarian or a spirit animal, he treated it normally, and he never felt any difference. Hearing Yan Zhuoran say that there is no difference between monks and mortals, he secretly thought that this was a matter of course, but he didn't feel anything in his heart.
