In the northeast of Qizhou, due west of Shenzhou, is the hot land of Zhongzhou. Separated from the east and west ends of the sacred mountain range, Zhongzhou and Shenzhou have almost the same martial arts heritage.

It's just that the land of Zhongzhou is small, but the population density is extremely large. Although Shenzhou is called the heart of the continent on the mainland, in fact, most of the cultivation circles in the land of Zhongzhou actually don't think so.

From all points of view, whether it is the proportion of cultivators in the total population or the probability of geniuses, in fact, Zhongzhou is not much worse than Shenzhou, but it is not as lucky as Shenzhou, and so many sages have emerged in one fell swoop in the great era of that year.

It is precisely because of the inferior in the top peak field that Zhongzhou has been pressed by Shenzhou, which is the helplessness of the warriors and the breakthrough that Zhongzhou people have been trying to seek.

This time, the cross-domain flying boat flew directly over the regions of two continents, and only stopped for three days when passing through Qizhou. After a long flight of a month and a half, when Shen Li came down from the flying boat, he almost thought that he was about to forget what land was like.

Zhongzhou is actually slightly north of Yunzhou, but the difference in climate is not obvious, what really makes Shen Li feel strange is the human environment here.

Different from the opening of Yunzhou, everything in Zhongzhou looks antique, as if all the ancient culture at the beginning of human inheritance has been completely preserved here.

For example, Shen Li and your Master Shanqi walked in Zhongzhou City for two hours, but they didn't see a woman's face, all the women on the road were light veils and masked, and their bodies were bewitching, but they couldn't see their faces.

Even when passing by people, you can maintain a relative distance and be very calm.

Shen Li clearly felt the low-key and conservative kind of woman here. It seems that everything they follow is as natural and inevitable as ever.

Another feeling that Zhongzhou City gave Shen Li was quaint!

Many of the buildings are not tall, but the wind of antiquity blows in the face, like the masterpiece of a group of natural architects, which looks very eye-catching, so that you can't find any fault.

This is just for viewing, if you are in the middle of it, I am afraid that it will be as pure and comfortable as returning to the natural mountains.

Shen Li, like all strangers, was full of novelty in his eyes, and even forgot the path of memory, allowing Master Shan Qi to take him around at will.

Master Shan Qi and Shen Li have been together on the flying boat for dozens of days, and they have a deeper understanding of Shen Li, and he knows that Shen Li is actually a very pure young man, so he has patiently guided him all the way, and he has no reservations about introducing the scenery and situation of Zhongzhou at this moment.

For example, the geographical area of Zhongzhou is the smallest of the nine continents on the Xuanyuan continent except for Lingzhou, but the total population ranks second on the continent.

Under the huge population density, every county town is very prosperous, even the smallest town will have its own martial arts sect, although it is likely to be only a one- or two-star sect, but on this basis, the sect power of the major county towns will often reach the appearance of a four-star or even a five-star sect.

This situation is like the accumulation of sand into a tower, so that the highest sect in Zhongzhou City has reached the eight-star sect, and there are no less than 100 other seven-star sects and six-star sects.

As an alchemy sect that does not attach much importance to the inheritance of martial arts, Xingyao Sect is actually only a six-star sect, and its achievements in martial arts are indeed much lower.

The two of them roamed all the way, and turned around half of Zhongzhou City, and they were not in a hurry to return to Xingyao Sect on this day. I casually found an inn to stay, and it was close to noon when I got up early the next day to rush back to Xingyao Sect.

Shen Li came with a humble attitude, with only one purpose, to find the relationship that the legendary Demon Hunter Guild could contact.

The mountain gate of Xingyao Sect is actually not in Zhongzhou City, and the place where Shen Li and Master Shan Qi are now is only the stronghold of Xingyao Sect in Zhongzhou City.

Shen Li was settled down, and Master Shan Qi respectfully went to find the host here to report the situation. Then on the second day, the two of them took the flying boat provided by Xingyaozong again and went straight to their destination, Yangong County, where Xingyaozong's mountain gate was located.

In Niu Danshi's previous narrative, Shen Li had always thought that the Xingyao Sect was just a declining alchemy sect, but he didn't expect that it still had such a strong strength, and when he arrived at the mountain gate of the Xingyao Sect, Shen Li was still shocked by the huge mountain gate that towered between the mountains and rivers.

It can't be said that Shen Li hasn't seen the world, it can only be said that the heritage of the six-star sect is far from being comparable to any five-star sect.

This night, Shen Li stayed in the pavilion of Xingyao Sect, and waited very low-key for Master Shan Qi's arrangement.

According to the agreement between the two, after Master Shan Qi finished reporting his itinerary and debriefing, he would take Shen to the sacrificial hall to find the senior figure.

It's just that he didn't expect Shen Li to wait for a few days without seeing Master Shan Qi, although there was no shortage of various entertainments, Shen Li was still a little impatient, he mentioned to the steward in charge of the pavilion several times that he wanted to see Master Shan Qi, but the other party had to deal with it, and he refused to reply positively at all, and it would not arouse Shen Li's anger.

Just when Shen Li's patience reached the limit, Master Shan Qi finally came, and even politely said goodbye to Shen Li, and then took him straight to the deep and silent little valley in the depths of the Xingyao Sect.

There was a large area of primitive dense forest next to a small river, and the solemn courtyard of Aesop on the side of the dense forest appeared in front of him, and Shen Li knew that he was only one step away from his goal.

The atmosphere here was very solemn and square, and Shen Li followed Master Shan Qi and even consciously retracted his breath.

The guards were only two disciples with a very low realm, but Shen Li didn't dare to have the slightest contempt.

All the way to the end of the courtyard, there is a small mountain bag, under the mountain bag opened a not big hole, Master Shan Qi said: "Shen Gongzi, this is the sacrificial altar of the Xingyao Sect, and the elder lives here all the year round. The reason why I have been in office for so long before is to run for this matter, you must know that the altar is not accessible to anyone, and I am not qualified to enter, so I can only be handled by Shen Gongzi himself. Remember not to annoy the elders inside, or I will suffer the sins as well. ”

Shen Li hurriedly said: "The junior knows, thanks to the master's hard work, the junior will go in." ”

Master Shan Qi nodded, he was a little reluctant to let Shen Li enter, he had been actively contacting Shen Li these days, not only to exchange his favor, but also out of his sincere love for Shen Li, a young man.

The disciples at the gate checked the voucher and let Shen Li in, but Master Shanqi was blocked outside without emotion, Shen Li and Master Shanqi cherished each other, knowing that they would not know when they would see each other again.

The gate behind him slowly closed, and the inside of the cave became dark, and Shen Li slowly walked along the Yonglu while observing the situation in the cave.

It wasn't until they had gone a few miles deeper that they were almost in the middle of the mountain, when suddenly the space opened up and the light became brighter. Shen Li couldn't even see how the light source came in, only that his current eyesight suddenly became very sharp, a little stronger than usual outside.

It is clear that this light source has the bonus of eyesight, and Shen Li sighed with emotion and couldn't imagine that this kind of basic facility could still be used in this way.

Obviously, this is the sacrificial hall of the Xingyao Sect, if you don't have a certain identity, I'm afraid that you won't be qualified to come here at all, for example, Master Shan Qi is called the elder of the Xingyao Sect, but he is not qualified to enter, unless he encounters the grand ceremony of the sect, he will be allowed to enter.

There was an old man in front of him with a long beard hanging down, and even his eyes were covered by long eyebrows, and he couldn't see his face clearly, he sat on a chair and waited patiently for Shen Li to come over.

Shen Li saw that there were dozens of huge statues beside the old man, each of which was lifelike, and it was obvious that this was the original form of the contact figures of the Xingyao Sect in the past dynasties.

It's just a little different from the fireworks that Shen Li expected, it's almost quiet here, except for the old man waiting for Shen Li at the foot of the statue, and he didn't even see some of the most ordinary incense and candle offerings.

Could it be that the sacrificial customs in the land of Zhongzhou are completely different from those in Yunzhou? Shengli was thinking like this, but Lao Tzu suddenly spoke.

"Young man, I can't imagine that your cultivation at such a young age is so good, I now believe in my teacher's words, do you have any questions to ask me. ”

In fact, this sentence is very ambiguous, Shen Li neither knows who the old man's teacher is, nor does he know what they said, and Master Shan Qi has no explanation for this.

Shen Li even only knew that this elder was Master Shanqi's ancestor, so he replied very respectfully: "There are old seniors, and it is forced to disturb the cultivation of the seniors, because I have encountered a difficult problem to solve, and I hope that the old-timers can solve the doubts of the younger generations." ”

Saying that, Shen Li slowly stepped forward and took out the six-star demon hunter logo he was wearing.

The old man first took Shen Li's logo strangely, and then suddenly shook his body. He gently stroked each texture of the logo with his hand, as if his eyebrows and beard were shaking together.

"Where did you come from?" asked the old man, trembling.

Shen Li said: "It was found by the younger generation from a ruin, and I heard that the older generation can tell the younger generation the origin of this thing, so it is not far from thousands of miles to find this place." ”

The old man suddenly raised his head, the eyebrows on his face automatically floated upwards without wind, and two terrifying rays of essence shot out of his eyes, which made Shen Li tremble, and a huge coercion came, and Shen Li felt that it was difficult to resist even if he used all his strength.

Although the old man's strength did not form an overwhelming advantage over the divine power, there was no doubt that his strength was definitely much higher than Shen Li's.

"Yes, it looks like you've been tested?"

This is an affirmative sentence, if you don't understand the meaning, then you will never know what the old man is talking about.

Shen Li only felt for a moment that his hard work in the past few months had not been in vain, it turned out that this old man really knew the inside story about the Demon Hunter Guild.

Shen Li replied very excitedly: "The juniors have participated in the trial for more than a year, and they have gained a lot. ”

The old man nodded and said, "It can be seen that you are only at the eighth level of the Mystery Realm, and you can actually compete with the old man for so long, if there is no adventure, it is impossible." Tell me what you want to know!"
