Under the Longtu Dynasty, there were mountains, rivers, forests and swamps, vast land and rich resources, creating a prosperity.

Cities stand on the land of the dynasty and witness the vicissitudes of time.

Jiangyu Castle is one of the many cities, located on the banks of the Shenyu River, is a trade-oriented city, of course, the prosperity of trade does not mean that the military force is low, on the contrary, it also needs a strong military town to protect the navigation.

Jiang Yucheng has a population of more than 10 million, and the various forces of the family gang are intricate, and the interests in it are enough to make ordinary people rack their brains and it is difficult to straighten out.

Fortunately, despite the intricacies of the forces, the interplay between them maintains a balance, at least on the surface, a peaceful and friendly appearance.

Although Wang Yaorong traveled south and north to see a lot of things, so that Chen Zong had a deeper understanding of the Longtu Dynasty, but he didn't know much about this kind of situation in one city and one city.

After asking and talking, Chen Zong finally decided to go to the Aoba Sword Pavilion.

For the first time, you need a suitable place to stay, the inn restaurant is a choice, but it is not the best choice, after all, you need to integrate here, you need to have more understanding, and besides, the cultivation of the cultivation of the strength realm is still too weak after all.

For example, Nan Shuntian or Qingchen and others go out to practice, but they still need to be protected by strong enough strength, otherwise they will be easily killed.

The Aoba Sword Museum is located in the middle of Ewa Castle North Street, the bluestone paved ground is flat and wide, and the ancient courtyard wall is a simple and unpretentious gate.

There are four large vermilion characters on the plaque - Aoba Sword Museum.

Chen Zong stared, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he could vaguely appreciate the edge of the sword from those four big characters, which seemed to contain profound sword theory.

Knock on the door, and soon someone will open it.

"Who are you?" The immature voice and curious eyes made this a small child, Chen Zong estimated that he was ten years old: "Are you here to learn swords?"

"I'm looking for the owner of the Aoba Pavilion. Chen Zong said with a smile.

"Please come in first. The child asked Chen Zongxin to come in first.

There are more than a dozen people practicing swords in the front yard, they all look like they are in their teens, although the swordsmanship is ordinary in Chen Zong's eyes, but the foundation is good, quite stable, and he knows at a glance that he has been taught by a famous teacher.

Chen Zong's arrival did not attract too much attention from them, and they didn't even look at it, they were all immersed in their respective swordsmanship.

"What are you looking for the hall master?" The child brought a middle-aged man with a serious face and a low voice, but the essence in the depths of his eyes seemed to run through Chen Zong.

"Senior, please also inform the owner of the Aoba Pavilion that the invited people came to visit yesterday. Chen Zong clasped his fists and saluted, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

"You go to the hall and sit down for a while, and I'll go and ask for attention. After the middle-aged man stared at Chen Zong for a few moments, the other party's aura was completely restrained, and it was difficult to feel the other party's cultivation level, and then when he heard the other party's words, he thought about it, and let the child take Chen Zong into the living room, and he walked towards the back of the sword hall.

"Big brother, do you know the hall master?" asked the child in a wide sword robe in a childish voice.

"I've met once. Chen Zong said with a smile.

"Really?" the child was skeptical: "The pavilion master is a pseudo-transcendent realm powerhouse, it is said that he can be included in the top three in Jiang Yu City, big brother, you can actually meet the pavilion master." ”

"It's a coincidence. Chen Zong said with a smile.

"Then sit down for a while, and I'll go and serve you tea. The child said.

"Little brother, welcome to the Aoba Sword Pavilion. A gentle voice sounded, and Li Qingye walked into the living room with a gentle smile and his hands behind his back.

"Senior, I was offended a lot yesterday, and I invite Haihan. Chen Zong stood up and clasped his fists and saluted.

"You and I have never known each other before, so why should you offend. Li Qingye smiled, motioned for Chen Zong to sit down, and he also sat down, after the child owed Li Qingye, his eyes swept over Chen Zong with curiosity, and he retired.

"What is the name of the little brother, and where does it come from?" asked Li Qingye.

"The surname is Chen Mingzong, from the Yunlong Dynasty, and I have seen my predecessors. Chen Zong clasped his fists again and saluted.

"The Yunlong Dynasty is one of the three major dynasties opposite the Shen Yu River. Li Qingye said: "A small dynasty, but it can produce such a heavenly pride as Chen Zong's little brother, which is indeed extraordinary." ”

"The seniors have won the prize. Chen Zongdao sat down again.

"Little brother, I wonder why I invited you to the Sword Pavilion. Li Qingye didn't beat around the bush, nor did he play tricks: "The little brother is new to the city, and he may not have an intuitive understanding of the Longtu Dynasty. ”

"I also ask my seniors for advice. "Chen Zongdao, Wang Yaorong has said a lot, but Wang Yaorong is a true martial arts realm martial artist after all, while Li Qingye is a pseudo-transcendent realm, giving Chen Zong the feeling that is more powerful than that of Shizun Linshanhou, the level is different, the level of contact is not the same, and the views and understanding of some things are naturally different.

"The ground under our feet has a common name...... Dragon Graph Domain. ”

"The Longtu Domain is one of the domains of the Canglan Continent and is under the jurisdiction of the Longtu Dynasty. ”

"Canglan Continent...... Long Tu Domain......" Chen Zong repeated in a low voice, as if in front of him, another door had opened, which was exactly what Wang Yaorong did not say.

"Hundreds of years ago, the Longtu Domain was not called the Longtu Domain, but other names, and the Longtu Dynasty had many powerful and powerful people, sweeping the entire domain, making all forces bow down. ”

"Under the whole world, it is not the emperor's land, so this domain was renamed the Dragon Map Domain. ”

Chen Zong couldn't help but nod when he heard this, this is what strength brings, if the Longtu Dynasty does not have the strength to make various forces bow down, how can it change the name of a domain.

"The Longtu Dynasty made great efforts to divide the Longtu Domain into eight prefectures, and Jiang Yucheng belonged to Tianjiang Mansion, one of the eight prefectures. ”

"In Tianjiang Mansion, there are four major forces, namely Tianshui Pavilion, True Yang Sect, Vertical and Horizontal Sword Sect, and Aomei Villa, these four major forces can also be included in the level of lower-grade sects in the vast Canglan Continent. ”

"Inferior sects?" Chen Zong was puzzled: "Dare to ask the seniors, how is the sect divided?"

"The Canglan Continent divides the sect's power into several grades, the lower grade is the lowest, followed by the middle grade, and then the upper grade, above the upper grade, there are higher levels, but that is too far away. Li Qingye smiled and did not continue.

"Tianjiang Mansion only has these four low-grade sect-level forces, and as for the Longtu Dynasty, in essence, it also belongs to a sect force, but its grade has reached the top grade. ”

"Inferior...... Shangpin ......" Chen Zong was surprised.

Although Li Qingye didn't say how to define the grade of the sect, the gap between them must be obvious.

"The division of the sect's grade is related to the level of the transcendent realm, which is still too far away from you and me, it is useless to say more, I can only be sure that if the upper-grade sect-level forces want to destroy a low-grade sect-level force, it will be a snap of a finger. Li Qingye's words shocked Chen Zong.

In the snap of a finger, this is too terrifying, and in an instant, there is an indescribable excitement.

"Now in this Longtu Dynasty, there are only Longtu royal families that can be called high-grade sect-level forces, and there are as many as four middle-grade forces, in the future, you will be able to know. ”

"In addition to being the owner of the Aoba Sword Pavilion, I am also the outer sect elder of the Vertical and Horizontal Sword Sect. Li Qingye said.

Chen Zong's eyes lit up suddenly, and the mystery in his mind seemed to have been solved in an instant, why did this Li Qingye take the initiative to invite him.

"It seems that the little brother has already guessed. Li Qingye said with a smile: "Yes, my purpose is to invite the little brother to become a disciple of the Vertical and Horizontal Sword Sect. ”

Chen Zong was still thinking about it, and he didn't rush to agree.

Undoubtedly, coming to the Longtu Dynasty is a very correct choice, because the martial arts level of this Longtu Dynasty is indeed much higher than that of the three major dynasties, and there is also a sect-level force that is consistent with the entire continent, of course, if you want to count, the Yunlong Dynasty can actually be regarded as a low-grade sect-level force.

Here, there are not only many low-grade sect-level forces, but also four middle-grade sect-level forces, and even a high-grade sect-level force.

Under normal circumstances, it is natural that the higher the grade, the deeper the power background and the stronger the strength, and becoming its disciple may be able to enjoy better resources and inheritance, and of course, the competition will be greater.

"Little brother, I see that you performed well yesterday, your combat power, you should break the limit of the cultivation strength realm and reach the seven-star level, this kind of talent is extraordinary, you are qualified to become a disciple of the middle-grade sect-level forces, and there is also great hope for the top-grade sect-level forces. Li Qingye said sincerely: "However, only the Longtu royal family in the Longtu Dynasty is a high-grade sect-level force, in order to ensure the legitimacy of the royal family, the Longtu royal family often does not recruit disciples with foreign surnames, even if some talented people want to enter the Longtu royal family, they must also change their surnames and swear eternal allegiance to the Longtu royal family." ”

Hearing Li Qingye's words, Chen Zong's expression changed slightly, and he put an end to the idea of becoming a disciple of the Dragon Diagram royal family.

Changing the surname is not acceptable.

Swearing eternal allegiance is also difficult to accept.

"As for the four medium-grade sect-level forces, Tianjiang Mansion does not, at the speed of the little brother, if you want to reach the nearest middle-grade sect-level force, I am afraid that it will take half a year, and there will be difficulties and dangers along the way, and it is still unknown whether you can reach it smoothly. ”

Chen Zong couldn't help but nodded, Li Qingye couldn't deceive himself, because these things would be known in the future.

"My Zongheng Sword Sect, although it is only a low-grade sect-level force, but the background is quite profound, because hundreds of years ago, the Zongheng Sword Sect was a middle-grade sect-level force, but because of some changes, the sect's combat power suffered heavy losses, and it has fallen to the level, and it is still difficult to recover. Li Qingye sighed, and there was a sense of regret in his words.

"Little brother, I just invited you, I didn't mean to force it, you can choose by yourself, no matter how you choose, I won't interfere. Li Qingye said: "However, if you choose the Vertical and Horizontal Sword Sect, I will recommend the identity of the sect's sword son for you, so that you can get the best training." ”

Although he was very optimistic about Chen Zong and wanted Chen Zong to become a disciple of the Vertical and Horizontal Sword Sect, he also knew that this kind of thing could not be forced, otherwise it would only make the other party feel dissatisfied in his heart, unless he killed the other party now, otherwise it would break out in the future, which would definitely not be a good thing.
