Chapter 2 Qingxuan Continent
Qing Xiaochu's birthday, high heart to Suyun. Colorful light floating jade, purple gas hidden Yuanjun.
The ethereal sky goes, and the upper boundary is free. Luan Qi can't climb it, and the fairy blows far from smelling.
What a blessed place, what a fairy atmosphere!
However, for Chen Yun, he has long been accustomed to all this, and it is not strange. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, when a person has watched it for three consecutive years, I am afraid it will be indifferent!
This cave is blessed land, it is the sect where Chen Yun is located, the Qingxuan Sword Sect, a powerful sect whose name resounded throughout the Qingxuan Continent.
Qingxuan Continent, a foreign world where one side cultivates truth and prosperity, how big it is, Chen Yun doesn't know, and no one has measured it in detail, in the account of the sect, only the words 'vast and immense' are used in one stroke.
On this continent, there are mortals, immortals, demon beasts, yin evil, water and land, islands, abysses, other worlds, love and hatred, birth, old age, sickness and death, racial battles, and Taoist disputes.
In short, in Chen Yun's limited imagination, there is everything.
It is all-encompassing, it is tolerant, it makes Chen Yun intoxicated, and it also makes him miserable.
Except for those places where the sect records are vague, the Qingxuan Continent is divided into five parts, which are controlled by nine major forces.
Qingxuan Sword Sect in the east, Luojia Temple in the west, Wizard Alliance in the south, Shenwu Zhenge in the north, and Taiqing Daomen in the middle. As well as the Tiandan Sect, the Purple Cloud Mansion, the Instrument God Sect, which are also located in the middle, and the Nangong family, which is the only one among the nine major forces with the power of one clan.
These nine major forces shrouded the sky over the Qingxuan Continent, and the rest of the small sects and those relatively weak immortal cultivators could only struggle to seek their own development within their sphere of influence.
As for those who do not have any foundation, their situation will only be more difficult, and their path will be more difficult.
Among these five, the central part has the largest area, almost the sum of the other four, and in addition, the central part is also the region with the most abundant spiritual energy and the most blessed land. This is the main reason why it can accommodate so many top powers.
As for the remaining four, compared to the central part, it is much inferior.
Although the eastern region is vast, because there are too many barren lands, and some of them are occupied by primeval forests, the remaining places that can be left for the human race are a little pitiful.
The southern aura is second only to the central one, but it is the most chaotic place among the five tribes, it was originally the origin of the Wu clan, and it was once occupied by the Wu clan for a long time.
Legend has it that in the ancient Heavenly Dao War, the Wu clan was on the wrong side, causing its twelve ancestors to be strangled by the power of the human race, and then because the Wu clan had human blood, those powers left a way for the rest of the Wu clan to survive, so that it was not completely annihilated with the end of the flood era.
Now the wizard alliance that continues to be entrenched in the south is only the strongest of the major local forces in the south, and the same as the Tiandanmen, Ziyun Mansion, Qishen Sect and Nangong Family, compared to the other four, the gap in strength is still quite large.
Since the victory of the human race in the Heavenly Dao War, the western region has been included in its own sphere of influence by Buddhism, and the entire region can be said to have been integrated with Buddhism as a whole, and there is no living space for other forces at all.
The north is the world of physical cultivation.
Legend has it that in the Heavenly Dao War, a great ability of the human race shook the impact of countless reckless giant beasts with his own strength, and paid his infinite life for the human race to achieve the final victory!
After the great victory, his disciples opened a sect in the north, and named it after the Taoist name 'Shenwu'.
Over time, the entire north became what it is now.
And the sea areas outside the five divisions and the large and small immortal island forces in the sea area, and even some forbidden lands, abysses, and various Dao systems in the enchantment, although there are some strong ones, compared to these nine families on the mainland, whether it is the geographical area or the comprehensive strength, it is a little insignificant.
Even within the nine families, there are also high and low.
As an orthodox inheritance of Taoism, Taiqing Daomen is the most powerful and legitimate lord of the continent among the nine. The human race finally won in the Heavenly Dao War, and the Daomen, as the mainstay, made great contributions, and the Taiqing Daomen was the Taoist system inherited by the three surviving saints at that time.
Qingxuan Sword Sect, strictly speaking, her original name should be Taiqing Sword Vein, and this matter is a long story.
After the three saints passed down the Taiqing Taoist system, after countless years of evolution and development, the Daomen was gradually divided into two major schools!
One faction is based on immortality, advocating the way of inaction, emphasizing the law and ignoring the might, which can be called the legal system, which includes the Taimai, Shangmai, and Jade veins.
These three veins abide by the supreme way of the three sages, and combine with some other small veins, such as the Bu vein, the star vein, the Dan vein, etc., to build the core purpose of Taiqing.
The other faction pays attention to the power of killing, advocating the infinite strength of the individual, which can be called the power system, which is especially represented by the sword vein, the weapon vein, the talisman vein, and the Taiyi thunder vein.
Over time, the struggle for orthodoxy between the two factions intensified, gradually reaching the point of irreconcilability.
When the contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, the use of force becomes the simplest and most effective way.
Although the individual strength of the force system is strong, the law system is profound after all, and in terms of top combat power, the law system is actually slightly superior, after all, the Taoist cultivation to the end, the emphasis is still on the unity of heaven and man. From this point of view, the understanding of the Great Dao, the legal system is actually more profound than the force system.
In the end, the legal system won, and except for the sword vein and the Taiyi thunder vein, all the other veins returned to the legal system, and accepted the reality that the legal system was too pure and orthodox.
Regarding the departure of the two veins, the various veins of the legal system neither prevent nor retain, and basically have a laissez-faire attitude, because this is in line with their great avenue mysteries.
The Taiyi Thunder Vein went to the south and spread out there. It was at that time that the Wu clan was beaten by Taiyi, completely lost control of the entire south, and finally had to accept the reality of sharing the south with Taiyi.
And the sword vein came to the east, which was the most reckless at that time. At that time, the entire eastern part could be said to be a world of spirit beasts and alien cultivators, and it was filled with a large number of desolate remnants and sideways.
The so-called Heavenly Dao is dissatisfied, and the loss is more than enough to make up for the shortage, and the east is the last resting place left for the alien race after the victory of the human power in the Heavenly Dao War.
The situation of the sword vein at that time can be seen from this.
In this way, the sword vein still relied on its own strong strength and gradually gained a foothold in the east.
From the very beginning of the difficult survival, to the final repulsion of all forces into the barren forest abyss, during this time, the sword vein used facts to prove to all the monks on the continent who is the most core combat power.
After a reshuffle of the mainland pattern due to the factional dispute between the Taiqing Daomen, as the curtain fell, it entered a period of relatively stable peaceful development.
The variable occurred hundreds of thousands of years ago, after a long period of silence, coupled with the successive escapes of several ancestors of the Taiqing, Shang, and Jade three veins in the Taiqing legal system, there are legends that they went to a more ethereal place, and there are also legends that they actually fell, and for the control of the entire continent, the Taiqing Daomen gradually felt a little powerless.
Naturally, other forces also felt this change, and finally, Buddhism, which had always been unwilling to lag behind, could not sit still.
It united the Wu clan in the south, the body cultivation in the north, and the various Dao Sects on the mainland who were dissatisfied with the dominance of the Dao Sect family, and launched a Dao Tong war against the Taiqing Dao Sect for territory.
Taiqing was defeated and retreated, and in the end, only a small core area in the central part was left to rely on, and it continued to struggle to support.
Youdao is a brother of the family, breaking bones and connecting tendons, and the eyes are not supported, the sword vein and the Taiyi thunder vein finally chose to stand with the law system and jointly resist the enemy.
After thousands of years of Dao Tong wars, with the help of the two veins, the Daomen gradually recovered its decline and began to gain the upper hand.
After the victory gradually shifted in favor of the Daomen, Taiyi used the return of the entire south as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Wu clan's defection, thus accelerating the process of the war.
After this battle, Buddhism was completely beaten back to the west, so far there was no chance to move forward, and the physical cultivation was also defeated because of the defeat, and was forced to open the exercises to the Daomen, and since then Taiqing has one more body vein.
Although the Wu clan stood on the winning side, Taiyi also fulfilled his promise and withdrew from the south, but in the end they found themselves being overshadowed by the Daomen.
Not only that, with the end of the war, the seriously weakened Buddhism and body cultivation in order to make up for their own losses as soon as possible, also with the acquiescence of the Daomen, they have extended their minions to the south. When the Wu clan turned around and prepared to reorganize the southern pattern, they found that they had already lost the initiative.
Since then, the south has completely become a stage for various games, and even some second-rate forces have begun to intervene in it.
The southern part of the country has suddenly become a heroic land, a land of wind and clouds! The Wu clan worked hard to keep their family after giving up some non-core areas.
This may be the punishment of the Heavenly Dao for the betrayer!
Although Daomen won, it was also a miserable victory. After this battle, the Taiqing legal system also changed its view of the force system without the guarding of the ancestors, and no longer insisted on inaction and excluded individuals, and began to become more like.
After the Taiyi Thunder Vein fulfilled its promise to cede the south, it completely returned to Taiqing.
Due to its unique performance in the war, coupled with the power of the whole vein, in the case of the sword vein did not return, there was a faint sign of dominance in Taiqing, which also laid the fuse for the later second separation.
At that time, some people in the sword vein also said that they would follow Taiyi and return to Taiqing completely, and then sword cultivation was different from Lei Xiu after all, they were more likely to go to extremes, and they could never let go of the obsession of failure in the original faction dispute. In the end, except for a small number of people who chose to return, the vast majority of Sword Vein cultivators still chose to return to the east and pursue the avenue they had identified.
Those who returned became too fresh sword veins, and those who returned to the east also completely let go of the knot between them and Taiqing, so they changed the sword veins to the Sword Sect, and in order to avoid branding the Taiqing mark, the word Taiqing was changed to Qingxuan, which means a new beginning.
Since then, the Qingxuan Sword Sect has been officially established, and a new journey has begun.
