An Ming talked to An Xiaoyu last time, and the composition of the Zhong family is different from the An family. The Zhong family itself is not a family of the same lineage, they were originally composed of many, many families and sects, and then continue to this day.

The existence of the Zhong family is basically a puppet-like family set up by the empire in order to contain the second An family. Although after 9,000 years of development, the Zhong family is no longer a simple puppet, but the empire will still stand behind them, and their actions will more or less represent the meaning of some of the upper echelons of the empire.

Like the Zhong family, the Chu family, which An Xiaoyu had never seen, was also a family of the same nature.

However, as a first-order cultivator family, the power of the Chu family is even greater, and the strength they possess is even more fearful. Therefore, the Chu family will never be the vanguard of the empire against certain things in the cultivation world like the Zhong family, but like the Lei family, as an existence like the Dinghai Divine Needle, looking down on everything.

In fact, the Lei family is also like this, if it weren't for the fact that Che Zichang was bold enough to plan to fall on the Lei family's Lei book, the Lei family would not have been known by An Xiaoyu, and Guan Shantong would not have been able to appear in front of An Xiaoyu openly as a Lei Zi.

The Chu family and the Lei family, in a larger sense, are like two deterrent groups within the empire. They symbolize the highest-level combat power of the entire empire's cultivation world, and as long as they are still there, the empire's cultivation world will still be the empire's cultivation world, not a certain person, or the cultivation world of various provinces.

Of course, in such an era of change, the empire certainly needs a person who can fully represent the will of the empire to appear and occupy the position of the first person of the younger generation in the cultivation world. And this person can never be An Xiaoyu.

An Xiaoyu may be the initiator of the great world of cultivation, or the benchmark of the new generation of practitioners. But this is a completely different concept, because An Xiaoyu is the opener, as a benchmark, because of the identity of the divine cultivator. Only by entering the Dao with a god can we occupy this position first, become a vanguard army, and become a benchmark that all young cultivators in the whole country, no matter what camp can pursue.

But the person who really leads the direction of the cultivation world will never be An Xiaoyu. Because An Xiaoyu represents the Tao with gods, it is not the mainstream school of cultivation at all, although the divine cultivation is more powerful and the divine cultivation is more advanced, but it will always represent the will of the vast majority of the people.

Correspondingly, the empire must guide the will of the majority of the people. And to guide the will of the cultivation world, it needs a more practical figure who can act as the guide of the majority of martial cultivators in the hands of the empire, just like the Floating Cause to the Four Beings Alliance.

Obviously, the place where this character is produced is most likely in the Chu family.

Jiang Quan is very well-behaved when he eats, and he never sends things into his mouth when he speaks, in fact, he doesn't have much news to bring to An Xiaoyu, he just tells An Xiaoyu the news, and then there is no more. During the meal, An Xiaoyu also asked what kind of existence the Chu family was, but Jiang Quan shook his head.

It seems that even a first-order political family can't know too much about the things of a cultivator family.

However, Jiang Quan was able to invite himself to a meal, and then brought her the news, and An Xiaoyu also kept it in mind. Because after this meal, An Xiaoyu called and asked An Ming, and An Ming said that he didn't know the news, they used to think that this benchmark was actually Guan Shantong.

"Hasn't Leizi broken through the true realm yet?" An Ming was also a little surprised.

An Xiaoyu had nothing to say, it turned out that they all thought that Guan Shantong had broken through to the real realm, but An Xiaoyu knew that Guan Xinlan had also contacted her recently, and the two of them had been very prodigal recently, going to the snow mountain, going to the grassland, going to see the sea of flowers, and even going to the border to see "fireworks".

Don't you need to practice even if you don't have to practice? An Xiaoyu has long been suspicious.

But now that the investigation is here, why don't you go to Guan Shantong and have a look?

So on the evening of the first Lei family, An Xiaoyu's visit was ushered in. Of course, the visit was secret, except for Guan Shantong and Guan Xinlan, no one knew about this meeting, which saved extraneous branches. Of course, An Xiaoyu and the people above the Lei family, including the Thunder Emperor, should be able to detect it.

"Even if they knew, they wouldn't say anything." Guan Shantong said.

Seeing An Xiaoyu's body coming out of the door directly through the wall like a phantom, Guan Shantong and Guan Xinlan were a little curious, and Guan Xinlan even boldly walked over and stretched out a hand. An Xiaoyu stood in place, letting Guan Xinlan's hand pass through her body and slash twice.

Looking at the funny expression on her face, An Xiaoyu also laughed, and then returned her body to a normal state, and after sitting down, Guan Xinlan poured tea for the three of them, and then sat next to her, and then got down to business.

Regarding the Chu family, Guan Shantong also told An Xiaoyu.

The Chu family has always been ranked alongside the first Lei family, as the first sequence of the empire's cultivation family, even if you only look at the situation of the Lei family, you can speculate about the strength of the Chu family. So An Xiaoyu asked, "Have you broken through to the true realm?" ”

Guan Shantong smiled and said: "The true realm of the younger generation of the First Lei Family will always be one step later than the Chu Family, and I declare to the outside world that I have encountered a bottleneck." ”

An Xiaoyu glanced at Guan Xinlan, who was next to her with low eyebrows, and asked, "Humanity ascends to the sky, love is the key?" ”

Guan Xinlan blushed all of a sudden, but she didn't make any moves, Guan Shantong said with a smile: "It's just a scene, it just so happens that Xinlan's matter has been exposed, don't you think this is a just right statement?" Anyway, it was my unilateral claim to the outside world. ”

An Xiaoyu knows that Guan Shantong is a straight man at all.

Glancing at Guan Xinlan with encouraging and pitiful eyes, An Xiaoyu didn't continue to talk about excuses, but asked, "So you have already entered the gate of the true realm with one foot, just to wait for the one in the Chu family, so you are still at the peak of the gods?" Anyway, when we first met, you hadn't reached the Grandmaster yet, right? ”

Guan Shantong smiled slightly, pretending to be modest: "It's just some adventures." ”

An Xiaoyu pursed her lips, she really envied them who had a background, there was no confusion at all when they broke through the realm, what laws, what realms, all of them were clear at a glance, a lot of senior experience was piled up behind, and the backers were hard.

Of course, An Xiaoyu is not without a backer, but her backer is not very reliable.

Thinking of this, An Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh and asked, "So what is the law?" I can use some of the means of the law now, but the old-school method of self-cultivation does not involve any skills that are directly related to the law at all, what is it like to use the law and control the law? ”

Seeing An Xiaoyu's doubts, Guan Shantong didn't expect An Xiaoyu to really encounter a bottleneck, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "To be honest, before entering the gods, I didn't know what the concept of the law was, but what I can be sure of is that the law is not like the old-school way of self-cultivation, nor is it like martial arts. ”

An Xiaoyu seemed to hear something and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Guan Shantong said: "In this way, although you are a divine cultivator, you can use all kinds of means, have all kinds of characteristics, you can use the power of the divine soul to assist the cultivation of martial arts, better use the double-flower knife, Voldemort body, and even create your own high-level martial arts, but martial arts are martial arts after all, martial arts are a kind of skill, a tool, and the laws are different." The law is not a tool, it is not a skill, it exists with heaven and earth, it is a thing higher than all living beings in heaven and earth, although they have no life, but they want to control the law, but they are not just taking it and using such a simple thing, so mastering the law may be the result of the practitioner's efforts, but touching the law is not. ”

"Do you mean that if you want to use the power of the law, you must first be recognized by the law? Only when the law is actively used by you, can you really get in touch with the law, before that, no matter what skills and experience are useless? An Xiaoyu asked.

Guan Shantong nodded: "That's pretty much it." ”

"Then when will the law be able to admit that I am approaching me?"

"It stands to reason that when martial cultivators begin to be qualified to come into contact with the law, that is, when the body begins to give birth to spiritual gods. Although I don't know about divine cultivation, and I don't know what the laws of divine cultivation are, but fundamentally speaking, since the realm of martial cultivation can be paid attention to by the law, there is no reason to enter the Tao with a god like this, and your current confusion may mean that it is because your realm has not yet arrived. ”

An Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said, "The realm of divine cultivation depends entirely on comprehension, and it has nothing to do with cultivation, otherwise do you think I am willing to run around like this?" Who doesn't want to sit at home and meditate for ten or eight years, and they will be invincible in the world? ”

Guan Shantong smiled: "This is your own headache for your divine cultivation, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." ”

With a sigh, An Xiaoyu got a preliminary answer, so he no longer dwelled on the matter of the cultivation realm and laws, and turned to the previous topic and asked, "So isn't that talent of the Chu family not very good?" Why do you want to enter the real realm more than you do? ”

Guan Shantong shook his head and said: "The one from the Chu family is actually not worse than me, and the help and inheritance he has received are similar to mine, but he has a hard problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Ann asked quietly.

"He's five years younger than me."

"Uh......" An Xiaoyu was suddenly speechless, this was really a hard question, but she was still very curious: "Since you always have to be later than the Chu family, can't you put an end to this situation at the root?" For example, ask your parents to have children later and so on. ”

Guan Shantong smiled: "You should also know that I am not the core person of the sect family, the eighteen branches of the Lei family, the genius in any of the branches can inherit the position of the Thunder Emperor, is it just to wait for the Chu family, everyone will not have children?" ”

"yes......"

"And it's not that we didn't wait, it's okay to wait a little, in fact, the Chu family also had a genius who was born in the same year as me and had the same talent as me. In fact, this person is the real boss of the Chu family, and he is also the heir of the Chu family, if it is him, I really can't tell who is waiting for whom now. ”

"And what about that guy now?"

"Dead."

"Dead?" An Xiaoyu's eyes widened: "Such a person is dead?" ”

"Yes, dead, there was an accident many years ago. Do you know how old I am now? Guan Shantong asked suddenly.

An Xiaoyu looked at Guan Shantong, guessed and said, "Twenty-five? ”

Guan Shantong smiled and said, "Xinlan is twenty-five this year, and I am already thirty-four." According to the rules of the family, the twenty-year generation, I am your previous generation, how can I be in my twenties? ”

"Why is twenty years a generation...... Well, I didn't ask. When An Xiaoyu asked, he thought that twenty years was because the legal age of marriage in the empire was twenty, so he continued to ask the last question: "So Wei Fangyuan is actually already seventy or fifty or sixty?" ”

Guan Shantong nodded: "Second Uncle Wei is sixty-six years old this year, and he is actually the first group of people born in his era." The one from the Chu family now, although he is not too young, and his generation is not worse than mine, but we were both born relatively late, and he is five years later than me, and he is almost a person of the later era. ”

An Xiaoyu understood after a while, he was now eighteen years old, and he was considered the best cultivator in an era, and Guan Shantong and Guan Xinlan were both from the previous era. That is, people of the previous era should now be in their twenties and forties.

Guan Shantong is thirty-four, and he is a person who was born relatively late in the first decade of the last era, and the one from the Chu family is five years younger than him, and now he is only twenty-nine, so there is no problem with saying that he is a person in the later era. Although five years does not mean anything, it is particularly remarkable in the body of geniuses.

"The Chu family put all their background and support on the Tianjiao who was the same age as me, and they had great expectations and cultivated a genius, and then this genius died. After that, another genius is selected from among the younger generation to start from scratch, and it is not just a matter of five years, it is almost a gap of fifteen years. ”

After all, geniuses must be cultivated from an early age in order to be able to rank alongside the geniuses of other families in the same period, and An Xiaoyu also knows this truth.

"So the current one of the Chu family, how many steps is there to enter the true realm? Now that there is no such person, I am afraid that the chaos will continue to exist, and there is no way to fight against the Four Lives Alliance, and those below who ignore it will continue to spoil the grassroots society. An Xiaoyu said worriedly.

Guan Shantong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened?" ”

An Xiaoyu complained to him angrily: "Just today, those people under the Zhong family actually used coercion to intimidate ordinary people. ”

"And that kind of thing?" Guan Shantong also frowned, the Lei family has never been too sensitive to the news from the outside world, because there is no need for this, but this news is too unacceptable.

"Of course, I know that the Zhong family doesn't mean that they want to let the empire enter the era of military unification like this, but these people below don't know what the luck battle is, and they see that the direction of public opinion is beginning to favor the Four Lives Alliance, so they will make such a stupid move. Even if the Zhong family regulates it, even the empire has begun to warn these people, who knows what kind of mess they will make next time? At that time, whether there is a great dispute in the world is another matter, and whether the empire still wants to fight foreign races? ”

Guan Shantong pondered for a moment and said: "I didn't expect that the current situation has become so chaotic, and this word will take ...... a few days."

An Xiaoyu also shrugged: "So, the one from the Chu family must break into the true realm as soon as possible, otherwise you will have to come forward, you have to be ready, I can be your backing!" ”

Saying that, An Xiaoyu patted Guan Shantong's shoulder, but because Guan Shantong was too tall, An Xiaoyu's appearance of patting his shoulder looked a little funny. Guan Shantong was also amused, and said: "Don't worry, although the one from the Chu family has laughed for five years, he is not an ordinary person, and he will be soon." ”

"Then I'll be relieved."

"You'll have to worry a lot about this time." Guan Shantong said seriously: "It's not easy for me to come forward, and it is the best choice for you to come forward to deter these people, and the empire should not say anything to you." ”

The reason is very simple, those people above the empire, whether it is the Military Commission or the Imperial Court, or even the Zhong family who hate An Xiaoyu and the Four Lives Alliance who provoked trouble, what they want is the victory of the Great World War. And the first basis for victory is that the battle between the great worlds can continue normally.

The battle of the Great World is basically a battle of luck between martial arts and body cultivation, and maybe you have to bring a mecha, but in the end, no matter which side wins, the mecha will merge with it, so there is no doubt that the luck of science and technology suppresses everything, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

And just like Fusheng said to An Xiaoyu, luck is not such a simple thing. An Xiaoyu has also thought about it these days, the so-called luck should refer to the general trend, the trend of the entire world, and has nothing to do with the cultivation realm, nor does it have anything to do with personal strength.

Unless you can be like the Three Thousand Emperors, one person suppresses the human race and all races, and makes the world submit, can one person reverse the luck of the entire world and make the human race the protagonist between heaven and earth, there is no way to change the way of heaven, let science and technology be called the cornerstone of the empire, and the cultivator retreats into the background.

If there is no such person, the so-called battle of luck is the battle of most wills. That is to say, "those who win the hearts of the people win the world", and only by winning the support of the overwhelming majority of the people can we win the battle for the world.

And now what martial cultivation and body cultivation are fighting for is such a majority.

The dragon slaying of the Four Lives Alliance, the Floating Life Breaking into the True Realm, and the battle of the three holding bodies, these are all for such a purpose. Now that Fusheng has become the leader of the new school of body cultivation, the first person in that generation to break through to the true realm, then Wu Xiu should also use the same figure to fight against his influence.

A stupid trick like this morning is tantamount to killing a chicken to take its eggs, drying up and fishing.
