Chapter 432: The Situation in the Far West

The Luoyun Mountain Range is the name of the lofty mountains that Zhou Yang saw from a distance before.

This Luoyun Mountain Range stretches for more than 20,000 miles from north to south, and there are two sects in the mountain range that have Jindan period monks in charge, namely the Luoyun Sect and the Danyun Sect.

These two sects each occupy half of the Falling Cloud Mountains, and the Falling Cloud Mountains are thousands of miles away in the direction of the Far West, and of course, nominally, the Rock Wasteland also belongs to them.

It's just that the Rock Wasteland is too desolate, and the Luoyun Sect and the Danyun Sect have no interest in managing this place at all, so they let a small sect "Giant Spirit Gate" that is so dilapidated that even the inheritance is incomplete to occupy the only third-order spirit mountain here to help them guard this land.

And whether it is the Luoyun Sect, the Danyun Sect, or the Giant Spirit Gate, they are all the forces to which the Backlight Alliance belongs.

The Reverse Light Alliance was founded thousands of years ago, when it was mainly formed by some forces in the extreme west in order to resist the Great Bright Immortal Palace, and later some people saw that they could really fight against the Great Bright Immortal Palace without defeat, so they attracted more and more forces to join it to resist the hegemony of the Great Bright Immortal Palace.

Under the pressure of the Reverse Light Alliance, the various forces within the Great Bright Immortal Palace had to temporarily stop infighting, and restrain some of their past domineering styles, uniting all the vassal forces to resist the attack of the Reverse Light Alliance.

Now, for thousands of years, the two major forces have fought many wars, each of which has lost and won, and neither of them can really destroy anyone, so it has been a stalemate.

Now the two major forces have not fought a large-scale war for nearly two hundred years, and they are all local conflicts on the border, and the participants are all controlled below the Jindan period.

And now, the power structure within the Backlight Alliance has also undergone a lot of changes.

The current Backlight Alliance, at the top of the top are the six top sects, namely the Taixuan Sword Sect, the Tiangang Sect, the Water Moon Valley, the Haoyang Sect, the Lihuo Sect, and the Golden Body Fighting Sect.

Of these six top sects, each sect has at least two Yuan Infant Stage cultivators, and all of them have a sixth-order great array guarding the mountain gate.

The position of the leader of the Backlight Alliance can only be contested by the monks of these six top sects, while the remaining five will automatically obtain the position of vice chairman of the alliance.

And under the six top sects, there are thirty-six middle-class sects and families, each of which has an elder seat and can participate in major decisions within the Backlight Alliance.

A family like the Xiang Zhou family, if they want to join the Backlight Alliance, they must have a medium-sized sect as an introducer to join the Alliance.

And under the thirty-six middle-class sects and families, there are the most and most basic immortal cultivation families and dilapidated small sects in the Backlight Alliance.

The Luoyun Sect in the Luoyun Mountain Range is one of the thirty-six middle-class sect forces of the Backlight Alliance.

And the "Giant Spirit Gate" in the Rock Wasteland, when it was the most glorious in the past, was also one of them, but now it has become the lowest force in the Backlight Alliance.

As for the Danyun Sect, another sect in the Luoyun Mountain Range with Jindan period monks in charge, because he has not joined the Backlight Alliance for a long time, and has not yet achieved enough credit to make them among the thirty-six middle sects, the right to speak in the Backlight Alliance is still not as great as that of the Luoyun Sect, and there is no authority to introduce other forces to join the Backlight Alliance.

Li Hong's suggestion to Zhou Yang was that Zhou Yang should lead all the Zhou family monks from the remote place of the Luoyun Mountain Range to fly through the Luoyun Mountain Range in the empty Xinglou boat, and then find an immortal city behind it to stop, and turn all the Zhou family qi cultivators and foundation building monks into pieces and enter the immortal city, first as a period of casual cultivation, and then find an opportunity to establish a family after being familiar with the situation.

Zhou Yang took his suggestion and successfully led everyone through the Luoyun Mountain Range, into a mortal country called Yu Guo behind him.

The map of Yu Kingdom, Zhou Yang had already obtained it in the hands of that Giant Spirit Gate Foundation Cultivator.

According to the information on the map, in the entire territory of Yu Kingdom, including the two sects in the Luoyun Mountain Range, there are six sects with Jindan period monks, and there are also eight Zifu families, four declining small sects with only Zifu monks in charge, and one scattered Jindan monk and two Zifu scattered cultivators who occupy the mountain to practice.

These forces are all registered in the Backlight Alliance, and they have carved up all the spiritual mountains and important mineral veins above the fourth order in the territory of Yu Kingdom.

A small sect and a small family like the Giant Spirit Sect where only the foundation building monks are in charge, can only survive if they are attached to a certain sect or family.

Taking the Giant Spirit Gate as an example, as vassals of the Luoyun Sect, they not only have to pay tribute to the Luoyun Sect once every ten years, but also accept the Luoyun Sect's recruitment and send monks to participate in the war when the Anti-Light Alliance and the Great Bright Immortal Palace are at war.

Just as Li Hong said, the monks who were recruited by these vassal forces to go to the front line to participate in the big war basically became cannon fodder to test the enemy's strength, and the monks who could survive and return to the sect safely could be said to be one in ten.

Even so, the monks of the vassal forces could not refuse the conscription and evade it.

The forces that refuse to be requisitioned will be directly destroyed by the breaking of the Lingshan Gate.

The monks who evade the recruitment will be wanted and hunted down by the entire Anti-Light Alliance, and they will not die!

Therefore, in the Giant Spirit Gate, every time he received a requisition from the Luoyun Sect to send someone to participate in the war, he could only use two methods: heavy rewards and lottery to let the monks in the gate enlist.

Monks who voluntarily enlist in place of the sect can obtain various precious treasures rewarded by the sect, and they can also be rewarded by the Backlight Alliance for meritorious service on the battlefield, including even the Zhuji Dan and the "Purple Heart Chalcedony" that are used for low-level and middle-level monks to break through the great realm.

The lottery is to draw lots from all the eligible monks of the entire sect when the number of people who volunteer to go is not enough, and whoever wins the lottery is whoever is who.

In Zhou Yang's opinion, this method of acting against the Light Alliance was exactly the same as those lords of the Western Middle Ages in his previous life.

The Great Lord divides the land of the Lesser Lords and provides protection, while the Lesser Lords need to pay tribute and send soldiers to fight for the Great Lord.

In this way, as long as it is not the kind of war that destroys the country, no matter how the battle is fought, the position of the big lord will be difficult to shake, and only the small and medium-sized lords will be unable to bear the tribute and conscripted soldiers required for tribute due to continuous blood loss and decline.

It used to be the Giant Spirit Gate of the Thirty-six Middle Gate, because in a great war a thousand years ago, the master of the Jindan in the gate was killed by the monks of the Great Bright Immortal Palace, and finally lost the elder seat and declined.

Zhou Yang is not disgusted by this special survival mode of the Anti-Light Alliance, the immortal cultivation world is the weak and the strong, although the small and medium-sized forces will inevitably become the pawn cannon fodder of the big forces in the war, but as long as they make contributions in the war, they can also use the credit to quickly rise to the top and strengthen their own power.

It's like the thirty-six middle gates in the Backlight Alliance, as long as one of them falls, another will immediately go up.

Even a small sect like the Giant Spirit Sect, once it can no longer provide a fighting monk for the Backlight Alliance, it will be deprived of the Spirit Mountain by the Luoyun Sect to which they are attached and replaced by another family or sect.

The pressure on the sect monks and family monks here is much greater than that of those sect monks and family monks in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, but their chances of promotion are also much greater.

In the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, it was basically impossible for those Qi cultivation stage cultivators of the Zhuji family to obtain the Zhuji Dan.

But in the Backlight Alliance, as long as the monks are willing to go to the frontline battlefield to participate in the battle and make meritorious contributions, they can easily exchange their merits for treasures such as Zhuji Dan and "Purple Heart Chalcedony", and even the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill" can also be exchanged.

In short, for Zhou Yang, if the Backlight Alliance could provide him with a fourth-order spiritual mountain as the foundation of the family, he didn't mind letting the Zhou family monks go to the battlefield to participate in the battle, and even he himself was willing to go to the battlefield to fight.

But this is very difficult, the fourth-order spirit mountain is not a cabbage, it can be given easily, even if it is the six Jindan sects in the territory of the Yu country where he is now, it is not easy to take out a fourth-order spirit mountain and give it away.

Zhou Yang didn't have any good way now, so he could only follow what Li Hong said, first blend into the circle of monks in Yu Kingdom, and wait for the opportunity to find out the news before making a decision.

For the sake of safety, he took the monks of the Zhou family to Cangyuan Immortal City, a well-known immortal city in the territory of Yu Kingdom.

Cangyuan Immortal City was established by the only Jindan period monk Cangyuan Sanren in Yu Kingdom, this Cangyuan Sanren is already 800 years old, and he is a real Jindan eighth-layer monk, and his cultivation can also be ranked in the forefront among more than a dozen Jindan stage monks in the entire Yu Kingdom.

This Cangyuan Immortal City was established for a very short time, only less than three hundred years, but because of the strong appeal of the Cangyuan Sanren in the territory of Yu State, it has become the most prosperous immortal city in Yu State.

As we all know, casual cultivators are a group of people who don't like to be constrained and controlled, and Cangyuan Immortal City has done a very satisfactory job in this regard.

Except for the fact that no force is allowed in the Immortal City, any monk can freely enter and exit the Cangyuan Immortal City, and they don't even need to pay the entrance fee and establish an identity file.

What Zhou Yang values is the relaxed atmosphere here.

No matter how they disguised themselves, these foreign monks were always a little different from the local monks at the beginning, but the relaxed atmosphere in Cangyuan Immortal City allowed them not to accept anyone's questioning, and they could slowly integrate into contact with the local monks.

"More than 3,000 miles ahead is Cangyuan Immortal City, the next road can only be walked by yourself, remember, no conflicts with people on the road, and don't communicate with people more, after arriving in the city, don't walk around first, find yourself to live in the immortal stack and wait for the arrangement. ”

In a mountain forest thousands of miles away from Cangyuan Immortal City, Zhou Yang lowered the empty building boat and released a group of Zhou family monks inside to give advice.

The large flying boat magic weapon of the empty walking building ship was too conspicuous, and Zhou Yang did not dare to control this magic weapon too close to Cangyuan Immortal City, so as not to be discovered by some high-level monks and cause unnecessary trouble.

According to the news he learned, the territory of Yu Country was generally quite peaceful, only a few thousand miles away, and even if these Qi cultivation period cultivators of the Zhou family hurried with their feet, it would only take a few days to walk.

And even if something really happened on the way, the four foundation building monks such as Zhou Guangxiang, who was escorting behind, could pretend to be passing monks in time to help.
