Chapter 125: The Ancient Religion of Xigu
As we all know, Neobabylon is divided into three main regions.
- The Eastern Continent, the Western Regions, the Floating City.
The continental shelf of the Eastern Continent covers an area of 3.22 million square kilometers, roughly equivalent to that of Europe, and has a population of more than 600 million. Contrary to the blonde and blue-eyed inhabitants of the Western Regions, the Eastern Continent is all of the Far Easterners, and the phenomenon of immigrants intermarrying is rare.
In today's concept, starting from the ancestors, starting from the ancestors of the ancestors, the world pattern is like this. There is never a war between countries, and the establishment of the state is more like a framework for the control of the inhabitants, where the life goals of ordinary people and first-class residents are on the ground, and the goals of the warriors are in the floating city.
Every year, the Floating City will hold a martial arts assessment, and the group is high-level Xuanzong martial artists. They are all characters on the continent who call for wind and rain and start sects, but when they arrive in the floating city, they have become the most inconspicuous existence. The final threshold of the assessment is a level of strength that does not exist on the continent at all-[Domain] level, and only by breaking through to this realm can one be eligible for permanent residency in the Floating City.
Although they are all human beings, a large number of high-ranking realm-level powerhouses have turned the floating city into another world. All kinds of secret weapons and secret methods on the continent are flowing from their hands, like gods giving rewards to believers. As for the claim, it has long been believed that the floating city is a holy place of self-sufficiency, where golden wheat grows, countless exotic fruits, and surging herds like clouds stretching to the horizon.
"It's a joke, of course. Wang Yi said gloomily, "They have long regarded themselves as the real gods, how can the gods themselves do the work? food and all other needs." Of course, it will have to be provided by the slaves!"
Wang Yi was the seventh-level Xuan King who was forced to make a deal with Lei Luo, and after absorbing the heart of the Nine Lives Heavenly Dragon Technique, the foundation of the first layer of Xuanwu Martial Arts had been built in his body, just like an arrow from a bow, and there was no turning back.
Lei Luo glanced at Luo Zhantian, who had been to the Floating City and participated in the martial arts assessment, but in the end he failed to break through the limit under the stimulation of life and death, and returned in a huff - [Vientiane Returning to the Yuan Gong] was the consolation prize that was won that time, and it was also a great gain.
"Those guys really don't take the martial artists on the continent very seriously. I'm not going to go a second time anyway. Luo Zhantian said slowly.
The Colosseum of Death in the Floating City. The warriors struggling in pools of blood like dogs, the cheering stands, the cruel spectators, the high masters - this scene clearly flows through my mind. He couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows.
"We in Sigu religion are thousands of years old. The undercover investigation began. Later discoveries were shocking. Both of them should know that contribution value is far more important on the mainland than money. First-class residents and warriors would rather be penniless than have a lot of contribution points in their hands. In this way, it can be recognized by the state apparatus and obtain a better future. But you must not know how much contribution to the country and individuals can be brought to the country and individuals by paying tribute to a living person with the body of a demon seed to the floating city. From the very beginning of this system, it was designed to stimulate people to discover the strangeness around them, but it has been reined in in the past two centuries!" Wang Yi said indignantly.
"What do they want to do with the living, do they want to eat?"
"Neo-Babylon is a coordinate, a lighthouse. Only by passing through here can you find the birthplace of the secret martial arts in the universe. Therefore, many warriors who have awakened the power of their souls have been reborn in this world through a long journey. When the number of demon seeds reaches a certain level, the dimensional passage will be opened, and the world we call the 'source' will open its doors. The powerhouses in the Floating City are well aware of this and are very afraid of it, so they will harvest the demon seeds on a large scale, and encourage every country on the continent to hunt down the demon seeds and strangle the threat in the cradle. Wang Yi said.
Crossing and tracing the stream, these are things that Lei Luo is no stranger to. But it was the first time he had heard of the plane gate that led directly to the world of sinners. It is also the world above the head, and the blood clan is desperately trying to descend on the planet Yufei. Those guys in the Floating City are desperately trying to avoid contact with the world of sinners, and it seems that Yu Fei Planet can really be regarded as a paradise in the void.
"Are they afraid that they will become lambs when they reach the Source World?" Lei Luo called Wang Yi.
"Yes, who wants to be ruled when they can be kings?"
"Why are you singing against each other? If you really want to go to the source world, if the aborigines over there are bloodthirsty, it is impossible to only kill the people above the floating city, so you will not be killed, right?"
"The teachings of Sigu are to go back to the roots. We are not afraid of death, we are afraid that we will not find our roots. ”
Lei Luo nodded and smiled slightly: "I can see that you are indeed very courageous." And the most critical thing you didn't say, that is, what the hell did you Xigu Sect do to the demon seed. ”
Wang Yi glared at him with hatred on his face, and said in a dejected manner: "We have temporarily controlled the soul aura of the demon seed and prevented them from being discovered by the Floating City. As long as it is not passively awakened, the demon seed has a certain ability to hide. This ...... of yours This child has always been very special, ordinary people can control it once, she needs to control it every year, and it will take three years to reach the stage of self-awakening. In order not to let her be discovered, we put a lot of thought into it. As for the head blockage you are referring to, it is actually a stasis of soul energy, and when you wake up, it will be fine. ”
Lei Luo was unable to use the Soul Wheel Transformation Divine Skill, and his understanding and control of the soul origin and other aspects were actually greatly reduced. Hearing him say this, I can't help but be skeptical.
"Something I forgot to tell you...... Lei Luo snapped his fingers, "Actually, I'm afraid that you won't ask me for a second layer of secret magic in the future." ”
Wang Yi only felt that the qi and blood in his body contracted suddenly, his eyes were glared to the limit, and he slowly knelt down.
Everything was instantly cheerful, and he finally understood why Lei Luo was so good at talking, because from beginning to end, his fate was firmly under control, like a mouse under a cat's paw.
"What I just said is not half a lie!" Wang Yi hissed.
"Then you don't have to worry about anything. Remember, it's not the Xigu Sect that can help you change your life, nor the Floating City, but my secret martial arts. Lei Luo looked indifferent.
Wang Yi met his suddenly unfamiliar eyes, and the spirit shivered, and nodded hurriedly.
"No matter how you explain how your subordinates have become dead when you go back, and come to my children in the future, it is best for you to come in person to save the exposure. Lei Luo said.
"I'll figure it out. Wang Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just ...... No longer suppress the soul aura for her, what if she is noticed by the Floating City?"
He still maintained his respect and pride as a martial artist, but this sentence was obviously considered from the position of Zhuo Ling and Lei Luo, which was equivalent to a show of favor in disguise.
"I'll protect her. Lei Luo said lightly.
Wang Yi didn't dare to say anything more, took out his business card, and handed it over with both hands: "If you have something to find me in the future, please call this number after midnight in the evening." If I want to find you...... No, if I look for you, by what means?"
"Raccoon Elementary, I'm in the first grade class. Lei Luo's answer made Wang Yi want to cry without tears.
After letting Wang Yi go, Lei Luo and Luo Zhantian returned to Zhuo Ling's house. Zhuo Qingshan and Yu Yanqiu had found that the small room was empty, and they were in a hurry, and they were overjoyed to see their daughter being sent back safely, so they just knelt down and kowtowed to thank them.
With Luo Zhantian's big hand patting, Zhuo Ling woke up from the ban, rubbed his eyes and looked left and right, and when he saw Lei Luo standing beside him, he immediately smiled.
After sending Luo Zhantian out, Lei Luo was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Master, I have an idea. ”
"Say it!" Luo Zhantian was still so arrogant.
"I want to gang up. ”
"What ???"
Luo Zhantian was taken aback, although he knew that the other party was not a child, he couldn't help but put on an elder style, and shouted: "Why is it bad to be young, why did you think of taking the wrong path?"
"I am a martial artist, no matter what path I take, it is a secret martial path. Lei Luo smiled and quibbled, and then said with a straight face, "Master, I don't say that I believe that guy's words, at least seven or eight points of truth is there." Around us, you, me, and Zhuo Ling are all reborn. If we expand the scope to the whole city and the whole country, and even the entire eastern continent and the western regions, how big will that number be? So I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Neobabylon is a 'lighthouse.'" ”
"Who knows!" Old Luo scratched his head, "If you don't remind me, I forgot that I was also kidnapped by this Xigu Sect when I was young." Fuck, it's like a dream in retrospect!, but I have to thank them for it, if they hadn't done anything to me, the last time I went to the Floating City, I would have had to be discovered by the realm powerhouse that it was the body of a demon seed, and it would be over!"
Lei Luo greeted the cool evening breeze, exhaled softly, and said, "Whether the Floating City is hunting the reborn or not, we haven't seen it with our own eyes, we just listened to that guy's words." In fact, whether it is true or not, I think we should prepare early. The Nine Lives Heavenly Dragon Technique, which has been transformed by the Vientiane Returning Yuan Gong, is the best tool through which I can control more and more people, not just one Wang Yi. I've considered expanding my power by accepting apprentices in the martial arts hall, but that would be too troublesome, and people with intentions will be wary of us when they see it. Therefore, it is still a mixed gang and cultivates a group of non-martial artists who are stronger than martial artists, which is most suitable for the current social pattern. Anyway, the contribution value speaks, as long as you earn more in this area, and then develop some gang members with status and status, you will not be able to suffer any losses in the future. ”
Luo Zhantian was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in amazement: "You...... What the hell do you want to do?"
"Prepare for war, I was too tired to fight alone in my last life, so I will change the way I play in this life. Lei Luo looked up at the huge shadows in the sky that were hidden by the clouds, and smiled out of the corners of his eyes, full of childishness, "I don't like to be trampled underfoot, even if they don't come to me, sooner or later I will go to find them."
