Jiang Tianyuan knew that Ling Li had advanced to the Nirvana Realm, and there were six or seven Nirvana Realm witch clan powerhouses in his hands, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have brought Ling Li over, if the strength was not enough, a young elite like him who had still graduated would have to be protected first, and he would not be released until he grew up.

"Is the insect tide heading south?" Ling Li asked.

Jiang Tianyuan nodded, "It's true that it's gradually moving south, but because of the barrier of mountains and plateaus, the situation is fine." The current crisis is mainly from the sea. Many kinds of alien insects are in the water, but there is no hindrance. ”

Ling Li suddenly asked a question, "Why did Northern Yan break away from the Eastern Regions Federation back then?" ”

At the beginning of the end of the Dark Ages, the Northern Yan Empire was also a member of the Eastern Regions Federation, but it split from the Federation more than fifty years ago. As for the reason, the record here in the Eastern Regions is because of the personal ambition of Fu Tao, the first emperor of the Northern Yan Empire, but Ling Li believes that things will definitely not be so simple.

Jiang Tianyuan was silent for a moment, and then said: "The main reason is the difference in concept, Fu Tao is because of the contradiction between him and the Zhongzhou faction...... In fact, the real leaders of that incident should be Shen Kang and a group of others, Shen Kang was the chief biological scientist of the Federal Academy of Sciences and one of the pioneers of the new martial arts era...... In fact, the earliest implementation of the national cultivation method was compiled by Shen Kang, and it was only after the incident that the editor-in-chief was replaced by Shen Yiwen......"

"Shen Kang?" Ling Li was the first person to hear of this name.

"Yes." Jiang Tianyuan said: "In fact, the concept of cultivation is a way to promote human self-evolution was first proposed by Shen Kang, and he has made many outstanding contributions to the cultivation system and gene theory and biopharmaceutical fields in the new martial arts era of the Eastern Regions. Back then, it seemed that after experiencing the exploration of the Changbai Secret Realm, they had serious differences with the mainstream consciousness of the Federation, and finally chose to break away from the Federation...... They must have some hidden secrets. ”

"Fu Tao and Shen Kang, are they still alive? How come you haven't heard from them for so many years? Ling Li asked.

"I don't know...... Probably not. Jiang Tianyuan shook his head, "Fu Tao has only been the emperor for fifteen years, and he passed on the throne to his son, and he has never heard of these two people since. But these two people are very strong, and they were the top existence in the federation back then, and if nothing else, it shouldn't be much of a problem to live for more than three or four hundred years. ”

With the recovery of the source qi and the arrival of the martial arts era, the maximum lifespan of human beings on the Red Flame Continent has been extended from one hundred and sixty years old in the past to nearly five hundred years old, of course, this is also the theoretical result of the calculations in the laboratory.

Because since the beginning of the cataclysm, there have not been 500 years, and there is no way to verify the truth or falsity of this inference.

But it is a fact that the average life expectancy of humans has been extended to a great extent.

The Northern Yan Empire was mainly a contradiction between the Zhongzhou and Southern sects, and the relationship between the two major military governments of Youzhou and Yu was well maintained. At the moment of this catastrophe, inviting the masters of the four prefectures of You, He, Hebei, and Yong to explore the newly discovered ancient ruins is to deliberately restore the relationship with the major military governments in the north of the Federation.

The Void Rift first appeared in the North and South Poles, and when the news came, the Eastern Regions Federation also became a little chaotic.

Although there is a history of the last cataclysm, this time, we still don't know how to deal with it.

The five states of You, He, Yong, Hebei, and Yi joined forces to put pressure on the Federal Assembly to reintegrate the armies of the federal states, but the competition for leadership was extremely fierce, and none of them would back down, and as a result, no cooperation could be reached.

At the time of the catastrophe, humanity is still fighting for power and profit.

The latest news is that in South Liga and Alika, some powerful monsters have descended into the world and used humans as food, and there are already two towns, both of which have become hell on earth.

When the news came, the strong people who knew the news were immediately worried.

The two destroyed towns, with a population of more than 100,000 people, were guarded by the powerhouses of the Nirvana Realm, but they were still completely wiped out, and no one could survive, as if the end had come.

The unknown is what scares people the most.

It's not just the insect tide, this time there are already unknown monsters and monsters joining in and invading, and the situation has suddenly become very serious, and the environment for human existence has been greatly threatened.

The world is changing dramatically.

At this time, Ling Li had already joined more than a dozen Nirvana Realm powerhouses in the Western Qin Mansion, preparing to go to Chengtian City, the royal capital of the Northern Yan Kingdom.

The Northern Yan Kingdom is located in the northeast of the Eastern Regions, with a land area of less than 26 million square kilometers, about one-twentieth of the Eastern Regions Federation. Starting from Wuyuan City, all the way to the northeast, along the southern part of the Tangnu Plateau, over the Feihu Mountain, you will enter the territory of the Northern Yan Empire.

The world itself is big.

As a result of the cataclysm, the population has plummeted, and everywhere seems to be sparsely populated, even in the most populous states. There are more than 30 million people in the Northern Yan Kingdom, and ordinary people mainly live in the surrounding areas based on the 21 cities, and most of the rest are no-man's land.

In contrast, the Western Qin Mansion has fifty-six cities, a population of more than 80 million, and an area nearly three times that of the Northern Yan Kingdom, which is actually more desolate than the Northern Yan Kingdom.

There are now more than 3 billion people in this world, and the Eastern Regions account for one-third.

The nine provinces of the Eastern Regions, the most populous of which is Zhongzhou, with more than 120 million people, is also the most powerful state capital in the Eastern Regions Federation.

The number of people determines the base number of strong people.

While this is not absolute, it is generally so.

Population itself is one of the important indicators of the overall national strength of a country or region.

There is strength in numbers!

The most fundamental way to weaken a country or nation is to try everything possible to make them childless, and the population will begin to grow negatively.

This is called the bottom of the kettle.

Beiyan was originally in the Eastern Regions Federation, and its strength belonged to the bottom role.

On the contrary, after breaking away from the federation, the strength has gradually increased, and now it can be ranked in the middle of the position, not as good as the three strong prefectures of Zhongzhou, Xiqin and Youzhou, but it is stronger than the three states of Merger, Hebei and Haizhou.

After the news came out that the White Horse Ice Plain Secret Realm was about to open, many cultivators from the Eastern Regions had already gathered in the Northern Yan Kingdom.

More than 100 figures appeared in the clear blue sky like a group of fighter jets rising into the air.

The picture of the transcendents traveling collectively is an unattainable picture for ordinary warriors, and it is also very rare to be able to see this kind of scene in the daytime, which is enough to become a topic of conversation for them in the future.

The Linghe faction had already been informed in advance, and had also sent several transcendent realms out of the city to welcome the arrival of the powerhouses of the Western Qin Mansion.

Chishan City is the foundation of the Linghe Sect and the control area of this Northern Yan Super Sect.

Jiang Tianyuan and the people of the Western Qin Mansion did not enter the city, but came to a steep mountain peak outside the city.

Transcendental realm cultivators consider themselves immortals and do not live with ordinary people.

The strength of the Linghe faction is not weak, and the sect in Beiyan is also a big sect, quite strong, but there is still a certain gap between it and the top sects in the Eastern Regions in terms of background and the number of strong people.

The mountain peak where the Linghe Sect Sect is located is not too far away, and it is also nearly a hundred miles away.

The mountain peaks are very ordinary, and when you look at them, you can only see the vast snow-capped mountains and forests, and the scenery is also very common in the north.

It looks ordinary.

Several middle-aged cultivators led everyone up the mountain.

One of the elders of the Cave Void Realm seemed to know Jiang Tianyuan and Liang Xingzong, the guardian of Jiuyuan Town, and introduced the situation of the sect to the two of them as he walked, with a humble attitude.

When he got close to this mountain peak, Ling Li noticed something unusual, "There is actually a mountain protection formation?" ”

"Hehe, it's just an ordinary phantom array, so that ordinary people have no intention of breaking into the vicinity of the sect." The Cave Void Realm Elder explained to Ling Li with a smile.

Ling Li didn't say anything more, and it would be rude to inquire about other people's mountain protection formations.

The people of the Western Qin Mansion followed behind several people from the Linghe Sect, passed through this Sect Protector Illusion Array, and came to the top of the mountain.

At the top of the hill is a very neat bluestone platform, on which there is only a small Taoist temple, about a dozen houses, and the small courtyard does not look big.

Everyone stood in a gossip array in the small courtyard of the Taoist temple.

The elder took out a token in his hand and held it in his hand.

At this time, in the void on the top of the mountain, the energy of heaven and earth rippled like water waves, and a portal appeared in the sky. After that, the light gate flickered, enveloping everyone, and the next moment, Ling Li felt that he was already in a secret space, and in front of him was a magnificent Dao Palace-style building complex.

Ling Li emitted his divine sense and felt it slightly.

The interior of this secret realm space is much smaller than the Nine Mysterious Realms, with a diameter of about ten kilometers.

However, the interior is warm like spring, and the architecture and landscape arrangement are also very exquisite, the empty mountains and streams are murmuring, like a huge garden.

A small river meanders through the foothills of the ancient Donomiya Mountain.

The banks of the river are shaded by green trees, birds singing and flowers, and the ancient Taoist palace exudes the atmosphere of the vicissitudes of time.

It is indeed a paradise, a fairyland on earth.

The bluestone square in front of the Dao Palace is gathering a lot of people at this moment, and they are welcoming the visit of everyone from the West Qin Mansion.

As everyone stepped into the square from the teleportation point, the next moment, the old man dressed as a Taoist priest suddenly smiled, clasped his hands into fists and said with a smile: "Jiang Zhenshou, Liang Zhenshou and a group of friends from the Qin Mansion are really proud to come to the Disdainful Sect. ”

Jiang Tianyuan also clasped his hands into fists and said with a smile: "Brother Liu is flattered to wait here in person." You and I brother, but we haven't seen each other in a few years! ”

A few people first said a few words, and Ling Li knew that this old way was Liu Yunge, the head of the Linghe faction.

The Linghe faction was a small Taoist temple that was not famous before the cataclysm, because of the discovery of the cave ruins of Chishan City in the Dark Ages, it was inherited from ancient times, and it was only in the last hundred years that it rose in one fell swoop and became a famous Jianghu sect in the Eastern Regions. Compared with those super sects and families that have been inherited for a long time, the background is slightly insufficient.

However, a young man who was less than thirty years old following Liu Yunge seemed to have seen it before......
