Chapter 43: The Biggest Beneficiaries

When Xiao Che arrived, the Black and White Evil Venerable only had his last breath left. He checked his injuries, and his internal organs were damaged, and he had no power to return to heaven. On the other side is the Venerable who has been dethroned by the Black and White Evil Venerable. For such a villain, Xiao Chedang even gave him a palm, and devoured it with the Devouring God Determination, and it was wiped out.

Seeing this scene, the black and white evil venerable tried to squeeze out a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth, seeing that the great revenge was avenged, even if he died, he would be at ease. He was speechless, and then he used his last strength to lift the hand with the spatial ring in force. The meaning is very obvious, that is, I hope that Xiao Che will take away the Supreme Spirit Diagram.

Xiao Che did not hesitate at all, the corpse of the black and white evil venerable was very troublesome, and in the end, Xiao Che chose to turn it into ashes and then buried it in the cave before. Xiao Che found a boulder out of nowhere and blocked the entrance to the cave. It was the only thing he could do for this strong man.

After dealing with these, Xiao Che didn't stay here either. He knew that those who were chasing and killing the Black and White Evil Venerable would not be long before they would be pursued here, and even a strong man like the Black and White Evil Venerable would end up like this, he didn't believe that his current strength could be able to retreat in the pursuit of the Venerable Master Realm martial artist.

After dealing with the traces, Xiao Che changed direction and rushed to Qingxuan City. Originally, you only needed to walk south to get to Qingxuan City from here. And now Xiao Che is first going west, making a big circle, and then entering Qingxuan City from the west.

That's fine, after all, his current identity is a member of the Xuan Gang, and it is also in line with the situation that he came from the west. After all, the current location of the Xuan Gang is in the northwest of the Qingxuan Empire.

Sure enough, not long after Xiao Che left, those who chased and killed the Black and White Evil Venerable found this place. After their repeated research yielded no results, they had no choice but to leave. At this time, Xiao Che was heading west. Soon, he arrived at a large city.

This city was not originally called Xiangcheng, but because there were several Xiangguo in succession, it was renamed for this. Today's Qingxuan Xiang and Guoshang were also born here. Xiangcheng is considered a big city in the entire Qingxuan Empire. Although it is only ranked eleventh, you must know that Xiangcheng was only a town in the past, and it is already very powerful to develop like this.

Moreover, the top ten cities only have an advantage at the level of top martial artists, and if you talk about the population, the cities are enough to rank in the top three. Second only to Qingxuancheng and Huacheng.

Xiao Che didn't expect to be here. He has also heard a lot of the name of Xiangcheng, which can be said to be a holy place for people in the world. Most of the Chinese officials of the dynasty were from Xiangcheng. There is a tradition in this. The largest literati academy in the empire, the Sage Academy, is located here.

The Sage Academy is the goal of the people of the world. There is the largest stock of cultural classics here, and countless sages and philosophers have come from here. Not to mention anything else, it is rumored that Dong Shu, a famous sage of the human race, was born here.

Dong Shu, whose greatest achievement is to educate demon beasts, is one of the important promoters of the alliance between the human race and demon beasts.

According to historical records, Dong Shuqi was good at communicating with mountain beasts since he was a child, and was elected to the Sage Academy when he grew up. In ten years, he wrote down all the classics of the Sage Academy, and he can be called a genius. Then he walked the world, and his footprints were all over many races. It has the power of edification in the demon beast clan. After the Great War of the Ten Thousand Races, he actively promoted the alliance between the human race and the demon beasts. One of the great sages of the Terrans.

Xiao Che has cultivated the "Haoran Righteous Qi Technique", which can be regarded as inheriting the inheritance of the Terran Holy Master Meng Shi. As far as Xiao Che knows, Dong Shu is the descendant of Master Meng. In this way, he and Dong Shu can be regarded as brothers in the same school.

In this way, Xiao Che entered Xiangcheng.

Xiangcheng is extremely prosperous, although the population is slightly less than that of Huacheng, but if you talk about the prosperity of the city, it seems to be much more prosperous than Huacheng. The people who live here, both in terms of architecture and lifestyle, are very different from Huacheng. If the flower city has a unique natural atmosphere, this phase city has a unique secular atmosphere.

Walking on the street, I see people dressed like literati and artists. When people talk to each other, they quote scriptures. Occasionally, I will express my opinion, and I will come to a poem and a song. However, the focus of discussion is not about martial arts like in other cities, but about the Empire.

There were a lot of people speaking on the street, and they were all different and strange, but they all fit the same theme. That's all around the Empire.

For example, at a bean curd vendor, a person was giving an impassioned speech, which was "The Relationship between Qingxuan and Beiyan". Another place about 100 meters away on the same street is also a small circle, where people are discussing the pros and cons of the expansion of the Qingxuan Empire. Continuing to walk along the way, Xiao Che also found that someone was talking about the war between the Xuan Gang and the Northern Yan Empire that had just ended not long ago. This made Xiao Che, as a witness and planner, feel indescribable when he heard it.

This kind of thing happens on the streets all the time, which makes Xiao Che feel a little funny. However, this is the case with Xiangcheng. People have lived like this every day for generations. Only a few of these people can actually become public officials of the Empire, and most of them just live like ordinary people. However, they differed from other city dwellers in that they all regarded themselves as literati. Speaking of words, it is also Svenwen. Even if there is disagreement on discussing things, and quarrels are quarrels, they will not abuse, let alone use force, although people here also practice martial arts.

People here always like to be reasonable when they disagree, and for them, convincing people with reason is king. Therefore, Xiangcheng is also the only city that does not have a competition arena. For the people of Xiangcheng, fighting is the behavior of a reckless man, and only a simple-minded person will solve the problem in this simple and rude way. The way Xiangcheng people solve problems is Wendou.

To put it simply, it is to talk about facts and make sense. It's more like a debate contest, but it's not. A person who fights must not only tell the truth of the matter, but also quote scriptures and classics to find the basis. Whoever is able to refute the other with the words of a saint is more respected.

If people with different literature and ink come here, I am afraid that they will be so frightened that they will not even dare to speak. This kind of thing is not an exaggeration, but it really is. Therefore, many people in the townships and towns, who have not read much, rarely speak when they arrive in Xiangcheng, except for necessary speech. In Xiao Che's opinion, such a scene seemed extremely strange.

However, Xiao Che feels that there are too many rules and constraints here, but since he has come, he has come and he will be safe. What's more, I just passed through this place, and I didn't make a home here. Just take a look at the local customs. It's also particularly interesting.

As soon as he entered the city, Xiao Che found an inn to live in, and sure enough, as Xiao Che expected, even the guys in the inn were wearing head ropes, wearing neat white gowns, and a fan painted with landscape paintings pinned to his waist.

"Guest, but it's your first time in Xiangcheng?" the guy was also very polite when he spoke, which made Xiao Che very uncomfortable. But he also knew that this was the custom here.

"Yes, Brother Lao will open an upper room. Although Xiao Che was not interested in this, he still followed the local customs and returned the salute to the guy.

After a few conversations and the payment of spirit coins, the guy took Xiao Che to the room.

As soon as I opened the door of the room, I saw that the furniture inside was simple in style, with pure wooden structure of tables, chairs, beds, and moderate flowers and plants, which made people feel comfortable. This made Xiao Che very satisfied. However, the previous conversation could make Xiao Che tired half to death. It's more tiring than fighting a battle.

I really don't know how the people of Xiangcheng survived.

Maybe this is hypocritical and contrived in the eyes of many people, but Xiao Che doesn't think so. After all, a place has a local custom, even if you don't like it, don't judge it indiscriminately. After all, the people here are educated in a way that people everywhere else can't match.

People everywhere practice martial arts just to protect their families and change their fate. And the people of Xiangcheng practice martial arts in order to cultivate their self-cultivation and prolong their lives. They are more likely to take the test to change their fate. Only a few people will focus on martial arts. This is not to say that their martial arts cultivation is weak. On the contrary, the number of top warriors in the empire is by no means a minority. From Xiangcheng, there are three Supreme Realm martial artists on the bright side. They are Xiangguo, Xiangcheng City Lord, and the Dean of Sage Academy.

I don't know how many of the rest of the unknown Supreme Realm martial artists there are. Needless to say, although no one has ever seen Xiangguo make a move, almost everyone knows that Xiangguo's strength is unfathomable. Even in the Supreme Realm, they are the best.

The city lords of Xiangcheng are among the top city lords in the Qingxuan Empire. As for the Dean of Sage Academy, although he is extremely mysterious, not many people have even seen him. Some people say that the dean has been studying knowledge all the year round, and he is a philosopher who sees the beginning and the end of the dragon, so his whereabouts are uncertain, and the academy is mainly managed by the vice president. But what he didn't say about his strength must be a Supreme Realm martial artist. Because every president of the Sage Academy is a supreme realm.

In the past, the Qingxuan Empire had several major crises that were almost destroyed, and the war spread to Xiangcheng, all relying on the actions of the dean of the Sage Academy, one person fought five supremes, and at the cost of minor injuries, he finally killed two of them and injured three of them before breaking the battle situation. At that time, people most intuitively felt that many literati and artists who were weak in the eyes of martial artists could also have such earth-shattering strength.

The first saint master of the human race, the old saint master once said: There are thousands of avenues, and different paths lead to the same end.

Although almost everyone is familiar with this sentence, there are not many who can really understand it.

More people still make judgments based on their own perceptions. Even biased. For example, in people's subconscious, puppeteers rarely have women. However, in the Green Puppet City, both men and women are puppeteers. For another example, there are few women in people's impressions, but Xiao Che knows that the one who is named after Master Lu, the god of weapons, is called the saint of instruments, but it is a woman surnamed Huang. It can be seen that the things of the world must not be judged with prejudice.

Entering the room, Xiao Che closed the doors and windows and studied the space ring obtained from the black and white evil venerable. The space ring needs to be dripping blood to recognize the owner, but if the original owner dies, then the space ring becomes an ownerless thing, and you only need to drip blood again to recognize the master. If the owner of the space ring is still there, it is very difficult for others to break it strongly, and if it is forced, the result can only be to destroy the space ring along with the things in it.

In Qingxuan, there are very few people who snatch other people's space rings, mainly because it is useless to rob them.

When Xiao Che's consciousness entered the space ring, his blood rushed straight to the heavenly spirit. The collection is simply too rich. Xiao Che counted it, and the spirit coins were worth more than ten purple spirit coins. More importantly, there are a lot of exercises, spiritual skills, and various classics in it. Come to think of it, these are all the net worth of the Black and White Evil Venerable. Soon, Xiao Che saw the supreme spirit map, which was the most important thing to him.

After adding a layer of protection to the room, Xiao Che sat cross-legged on the wooden bed and studied the spirit diagram.

I saw that the texture on the spiritual map was clear, and the lines in it seemed to flow like water. Xiao Che knew that this was a spatial method unique to the Supreme Realm powerhouse. Even an ordinary diagram can hide important information from it.

What's more, this picture is not ordinary, but a drawing made of the fur of the Spirit Beast of the Venerable Master Realm. Xiao Che used all his strength to inject spiritual power into it, only to see the spiritual power wandering along the veins on the map, and soon a map completely different from the landscape painting on the map appeared in Xiao Che's mind.

With the continuous infusion of spiritual power, this map is getting bigger and bigger. Xiao Che could even see from the map that where he was was an extremely small red dot. As the map zooms in, this red dot becomes more and more precise. Xiao Che knew that this was the Xiangcheng where he was at the moment.

This made him secretly surprised, it seemed that the methods of the Supreme Realm powerhouse were really wonderful. However, there is the same red dot on the other side, and it is the place where this Supreme Fall. However, looking at its distance, it is extremely far away from here, and it is even quite far from the Qingxuan Empire. At this time, Xiao Che had already consumed a lot of spiritual power, which made him feel very tired, but in order to get the exact point marked by the red dot, Xiao Che increased the spiritual power infusion. Unknowingly, the spiritual power in Xiao Che's body had been consumed by more than two-thirds, which made him feel tired even mentally.

However, seeing the locations on the map becoming clearer and clearer, Xiao Che also gritted his teeth to support it, and endured the fatigue of excessive spiritual power consumption to keep himself awake. Just when Xiao Che was about to lose his support, he finally got the exact address, the coast of the East China Sea.

This result made Xiao Che have the urge to scold. The coast of the East China Sea is located at the junction of the human race and the sea tribe, and this place no longer belongs to the Qingxuan Empire. And it is extremely far away from the Qingxuan Empire. To put it intuitively, with Xiao Che's current strength in the Heaven Realm, if he wants to reach this place in ten years, he will never be able to reach it. This is still a smooth journey, on the premise that nothing happens. Even if it is the Venerable realm, it has to go for three or five years. If you are a martial artist of the Venerable Master Realm, the speed is much faster, and it only takes about a year to reach this place.

And there are many countries that have passed along the way, many of which are not weaker than the Qingxuan Empire. With Xiao Che's current strength, whether he can reach this place smoothly is two theories. And that's not even the worst. Even scarier is the destination itself. Nominally, this is the junction between the Terrans and the Sea Clan, but in fact, it is occupied by the Sea Clan. Although the human race haunts here, they are either the servants of the Sea Clan, or the powerhouses of the Supreme Realm of the Human Race.

Xiao Che estimated that only the powerhouses of the Supreme Realm could be unimpeded here. Even the realm of respecting teachers does not dare to break through at will. After all, the Sea Clan is not a good kind. And on the whole, the strength of the Sea Clan far exceeds that of the Terrans. This made him quite depressed.

Could it be that he could only go when he broke through to the Honorable Master Realm? If he couldn't understand it, Xiao Che no longer thought about it, whether he had to wait until he broke through the Honorable Master Realm before he could go, at least with his current strength in the Heaven Realm, he didn't want to go.

Xiao Che also temporarily let go of this thought, and then took it out of the space ring and put it in his space pendant.

Seeing this map, Xiao Che was not for nothing, at least he knew that there was such a vast world outside the Qingxuan Empire. He never imagined that the outside world would be much bigger than he had imagined. In the past, although Xiao Che had heard that there was a bigger world outside the Qingxuan Empire. But that feeling was not intuitive, and Xiao Che didn't feel anything wrong, but now that he saw this map, he let Xiao Che know that the Qingxuan Empire was just a corner on this continent.

The Qingxuan Empire is indeed powerful, but there are many countries outside that are as powerful as the Qingxuan Empire. This map only has the area to the east and south of the Qingxuan Empire. However, the vast sea to the west of the empire and the legendary Far North Ice Sheet have not been revealed. I think this map records the place where the Supreme Majesty walked. What exactly is the west of the Hanhai Sea, and what is the land of the extreme north? Xiao Che's curiosity was completely opened at this time.

This even changed Xiao Che's fate to some extent. If it weren't for this map, Xiao Che probably wouldn't have wanted to go further at this time. Instead, he will continue to practice in the land of Qingxuan. After all, this is his homeland, and it is the most powerful country in the region.

After a night of meditation, Xiao Che's previously almost exhausted spiritual power had all recovered with the help of the "God Devouring Decision", at this time he had more thoughts in his heart, and he decided that when he successfully broke through to the Venerable Realm, he would finish dealing with the affairs of the Xuan Gang and then set off towards the coast of the East China Sea, and then strive to break through to the Venerable Master Realm within five years. In this way, you can not only travel around other countries, increase your knowledge, but also improve your cultivation. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

When he cultivates to the Supreme Realm, I'm afraid that the empire will give up his want. After all, the Supreme Realm powerhouse was extremely important to the empire, not to mention that Xiao Che didn't do anything too hurtful. It's just that it broke the record of the ancestor of the royal family, Xiao Xuan, as a hundred battle gods.

At this time, Xiao Che didn't know what this meant to the royal family.

Thinking about the next path, Xiao Che was very excited in his heart. This made him even more eager to get the natal spirit weapon and break through to the Supreme Realm as soon as possible.

The next day, Xiao Che, who had recovered his spiritual power overnight, was refreshed, and he planned to go to the Sage Academy for a walk. Sage Academy, although it is an institution, can occupy a very large area, although it is named after the academy, its actual area is no less than that of Black Rock City. It is also a business trip that attracts many people to come and go. The academy does not restrict the entry and exit of personnel, as long as they abide by the rules and do not trespass.

The common areas of the college are large and accessible to tourists. After Xiao Che had a simple breakfast, he went.
