Ma Xie looked at the invitation in his hand and listened carefully to Ah Lian's introduction to Nantianmen.

The organization of Nantianmen was born out of a sect called "Tianmen".

This "Heavenly Gate" is Ye Shiqi's sect.

It's just that a long time ago, the gate of heaven was split, and the "gate of heaven" where Ye Shiqi is located is only a branch of the former "gate of heaven", which is now abbreviated as "ancient gate of heaven".

Another important branch of Tianmen is now the "South Tianmen".

It's just that this Nantianmen, after separating from the Tianmen, did not become a sect.

They don't have a fixed lineage, and they don't accept disciples, but they just form an alliance called the "Dragon Slayer Alliance" with all their forces.

The cultivators of the South Heavenly Gate are only responsible for handling the day-to-day affairs of the Dragon Slayer Alliance.

The headquarters of Nantianmen has also become the headquarters of the Dragon Slayer Lianmen, if in terms of affiliation, today's Nantianmen is an institution of the Dragon Slayer Alliance.

As long as they are dragon slayers, they can apply to join Nantianmen and become the affairs officer of the Dragon Slayer Alliance, assisting the alliance in managing the affairs of the dragon slayers.

The Dragon Slayer Alliance, compared to the top ten sects, does not have a very strong power and inheritance, and the resources they occupy are similar to those of some second-rate sects, and the cultivators they can directly control are only a few dragon slayers in the Nantian Gate.

But all this did not hinder Nantianmen's influence on the mainland.

Because today's dragon slayer system was formulated by Nantianmen.

The term "dragon slayer" was first used to describe all cultivators, because they were the ones who slay alien beasts that were stained with dragon blood.

But later, as humans became more and more powerful, the meaning of dragon slayer gradually became "a person who enters a foreign land and slaughters foreign beasts." ”

A foreign land is a battlefield and a region, but it is also a valuable resource.

Before the appearance of the Dragon Slayer Alliance, the entrance to the Exotic Lands occupied by each faction would only be open to the cultivators of its own faction.

In the beginning, cultivators could freely enter and exit the foreign land, but after a long time, the cultivation world discovered the drawbacks.

Cultivators of low strength can easily die when they enter a foreign land.

When some reckless cultivators enter a foreign land, it is easy to cause calamity—either to draw out sleeping beasts, or to open ancient seals, and these calamities will spread to the human world, causing great trouble, or even destroying an entire foreign land.

And a large number of cultivators entering foreign lands at will also make the resources of foreign lands, especially those of low-level foreign lands, quickly consume.

In order to prevent these foreign lands from being consumed too quickly, various forces have invariably restricted the qualifications of cultivators to enter foreign lands for the first time, and only cultivators who have undergone strict scrutiny can enter foreign lands for resource collection.

This is the prototype of today's "Dragon Slayer".

It's just that the strength of each force is different, and the foreign lands in charge are even more varied, plus the destroyed, annexed, and newly born......

Under the rise and fall of various forces, the standards formulated cannot be unified.

There was a cultivator who had obviously obtained the qualification to enter a foreign land, but the next day the power that controlled this foreign land was destroyed, and he had to take a new qualification.

Under such circumstances, Nantianmen lobbied the major forces, hoping to establish a unified assessment standard for dragon slayers.

No matter how the power changes, as long as it meets the standards set by Nantianmen, it will be able to enter the foreign land within the permitted range forever without any influence.

As soon as this plan was proposed, it was first welcomed by those who were casual cultivators and practitioners who came from war-torn areas, and who only needed to take an exam once to become dragon slayers forever.

Gradually, the major forces also accepted this standard.

Compared with the different rules and standards they set themselves, the standards of Nantianmen are much more appropriate.

Moreover, with Nantianmen, the internal forces of the sect will no longer fight in order to set standards that favor their own family.

If you want to become a dragon slayer, you must meet the assessment of Nantianmen, which is the only criterion, and no force or family can interfere.

In the end, with the determination of the status of the five major powers and the ten major sects, Nantianmen also became a pivotal force on the continent as the setter of the dragon slayer's assessment standards.

According to a series of complex conditions such as various countries, forces, terrain, and the density of foreign lands, they formulated the evaluation standards for dragon slayers in each region.

The entrance to the foreign realm is in the hands of the major forces, but the right to evaluate the dragon slayer is controlled by the South Heavenly Gate-Dragon Slayer Alliance.

With the popularization of this standard, Nantianmen divided the exotic realm into seven standards.

Only dragon slayers who have completed the corresponding tasks can be matched with the corresponding star rating.

For example, a five-star dragon slayer can enter an exotic land of five stars and below.

One is the smallest, and seven is the largest.

The dragon slayer who has just passed the assessment is "starless" and can only enter the "general exotic", which is also the most resource-poor exotic.

"Senior brother, are you leaving?" asked Ah Lian.

Ma Xie said, "Yes, it's time for me to leave. Ah Lian, your cultivation is not enough, so you should not participate in this Dragon Slayer Conference. ”

Ah Lian nodded, although under Qi Leyao's guidance, she had already broken through to the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm and would be able to reach the Dragon and Tiger Pass immediately, but Ah Lian knew that her strength was not enough, and it was impossible for her to become a dragon slayer.

"I'm going to travel with Master, and by the way, I'm going to find a beast that suits me. "I still don't like fighting, but I like to gather information. ”

Qi Leyao taught her aptitude, she did not force Ah Lian to learn to fight, but entrusted the intelligence network she ran to Ah Lian little by little.

And after Ah Lian accepted the intelligence network under Qingfeng Guan, the first thing he did was to collect a lot of information about this Dragon Slayer Conference.

"Senior brother, I think it's better for you to go to Qingzhou earlier, there are already a lot of cultivators gathered there, you have to know more about your opponent. Ah Lian said.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles, Ah Lian is very similar to Qi Leyao.

Ma Xie nodded, he had never been a procrastinator, and after packing up his things, he said goodbye to Qi Leyao.

Standing on top of Jingzhou's great array again, Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji had already adapted to this feeling.

"Qingzhou is the largest state in the Dao Sect, and there are thirteen counties below, where are we going to go first?" Yuan Wuji was very excited.

"Of course it's the Holy Soldier City. Ma Xie said to Yuan Wuji.

He wants to go to the Holy Soldier City to find Liu Zongxuan, this is their agreement, to participate in the assessment of the dragon slayer together.

Jingzhou is not very far from Qingzhou, and the two of them only came to the boundary of Qingzhou after passing a few formations.

"This is Xuanyin City, the capital of Qingzhou. A cultivator with a grim face said.

Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji walked out and looked at their surroundings.

They stood on top of a sailboat that was tens of miles long, and the sailboat was floating silently in the air.

"Spaceship!" Yuan Wuji sighed.

This is the most famous magic weapon in Qingzhou, the jade toad boat.

This is a magic weapon that can fly, and now it has been transformed into a base for teleportation arrays by the people of the Dao Sect.

All those who travel to and from Qingzhou must arrive here first.

Just like the Enlightenment Stone in Jingzhou, this is also a relic of the Dao Ancestor.

After Daozu defeated the Eight Great Families and achieved the era of cultivators, he set up a jade toad boat to tour the five continents of the world and preach everywhere, and since then the cultivator has truly risen and become the master of the continent.

Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji spent a day visiting this magic weapon.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, I just can't fly around it. Yuan Wuji said with regret.

Ma Xie also nodded and agreed.

"When will I be able to set up this flying boat and travel around, that is really the work of a big man!" Ma Xie's eyes lit up, obviously moved by Yuan Wuji's thoughts.

The more the two of them talked, they even thought about going to the control room of this flying boat to have a look, even if they couldn't drive the flying boat, they could also feel the feeling of Dao Ancestor.

However, this flying boat was dozens of miles long, and it was guarded by disciples of the Dao Sect everywhere, so it was really difficult for the two of them to enter the interior of the flying boat.

While pretending to visit, they came to the edge of the flying boat, there were not many guards here, there was a wooden door here, and from the wooden door, there were disciples of the Taoist sect who had just entered.

The rest of the ship is locked with a gate, and only one door here can enter the interior of the ship.

"That door must lead to the inside of the ship, but I don't know what it's up into. Ma Xie whispered.

"Look at me. Yuan Wuji took advantage of the fact that the people around him were not paying attention, and turned into a fly and flew over.

He landed on the body of a Dao disciple, reined in his aura, and turned into a complete fly.

The disciple of the Dao Sect didn't find anything unusual in him.

Ma Xie pretended to wander around, but his eyes were staring at Yuan Wuji on that Dao Sect disciple.

Five-step, four-step, three-step......

The disciple of the Dao Sect walked to the door, but never walked in again.

"Shift change. He said to another disciple in front of the door.

The disciple turned and walked down, and the disciple stood in the doorway.

"Damn! it turned out to be a janitor!" Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji scolded at the same time in their hearts.

There was no way, Yuan Wuji could only try to fly away from him, wanting to fly into that door.

Ma Xie watched a glimmer of light flash above the door, and he knew that there was a formation there, which should be a kind of trapped formation.

However, Yuan Wuji's Wanhua Xuangong is an extremely powerful camouflage technique in itself, and ordinary formations have no way to deal with him at all.

Sure enough, there was a slight fluctuation on the formation, and Yuan Wuji was not found.

"It's a success!" Ma Xie was secretly happy in his heart.

Yuan Wuji's Wanhua Xuangong was really easy to use, and after going in for a while, there was no movement.

And after entering that door, Yuan Wuji found that this was indeed a unique place.

All the people hurried into the innermost corner, where there was a row of righteous chambers, and each of these practitioners would walk into this compartment.

"Why are there all low-level cultivators here, what are they going to do in that compartment?" Yuan Wuji rose with a strong curiosity.

He followed one of the cultivators into the compartment.

After a breath, Ma Xie suddenly heard a terrifying shout: "It stinks!"
