Short-distance trains are not only tossed, but also very slow, stopping for tens of seconds to a few minutes at almost every village or town.

It seems boring and boring.

The driver is not in a hurry, the passengers are not in a hurry, the driver is used to it, and the passengers are because of the distance.

Ling Yi was also not in a hurry, because it was useless to be in a hurry.

Fortunately, the road is still good, flat and smooth, not bumpy at all.

There are not many cars encountered on the road, most of them are some large trucks that specialize in freight.

After taking some of the medicine that Chen Lao took, his injuries gradually stabilized.

Only the seals on the acupuncture points are still very strong.

Ling Yi tried to absorb spiritual power with his heart to open it up again, but failed without surprise.

Just like Chen Lao said, after the acupuncture points are sealed, it is almost impossible to open them again.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Ling Yi did not continue to iron his head.

On the one hand, his mind was not quiet, and on the other hand, although there were not many people in the car, the environment was still not very suitable for cultivation after all.

In order to calm himself down completely, Ling Yi leaned back in his chair lazily and began to analyze the world situation and ...... that he was not interested in Review what just happened.

Because only when you really calm down can you figure out many things.

The state of Qin is a purely landlocked country, with a territory of more than 4 million square kilometers.

The super continent where Qin is located is divided into seven countries and one region, with four seas in the east, west, north and south, surrounding this vast land.

The Seven Kingdoms refer to Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin.

Zone 1 refers to a huge area at the intersection of the four kingdoms of Qin, Han, Qi, and Wei, which has been borderless since ancient times and is known as the Chaos Zone.

Among the Seven Kingdoms, Qin was surrounded by the other six Kingdoms.

On the map, Chu is located in the east of Qin, bordering the East China Sea, Qi is in the northeast of Qin, bordering the East China Sea and Beihai, Han is in the northwest, bordering the North Sea and the West Sea, Wei is in the west, adjacent to the West Sea, Yan is in the southeast, adjacent to the West Sea and the South China Sea, and Zhao is located in the south of Qin, bordering the South China Sea and the East China Sea.

In the vast ocean of east, west, north and south, there are countless islands of all sizes, and dozens of countries of all sizes have been formed.

Among these countries, there are those whose territory is not inferior to that of the seven countries, one country occupies a large island and several small islands, and there are also two or three or more small countries crammed into one island.

Compared to the island nations that are constantly at war, the seven countries on the supercontinent have not had a large-scale war for more than a hundred years.

The Seven Kingdoms began more than 2,000 years ago and have continued to this day.

Over the long years, there have been dozens of wars between the seven countries, large and small, and the map of each country has changed for a time.

The most recent war took place more than a hundred and fifty years ago.

In that war, Daqin, who was originally close to the sea, was joined by Chu and Zhao to capture the world's largest port city, Donghai City, and finally carved it up.

This war also reduced the Qin state to a landlocked country completely.

When the monarch of Qin first ascended the throne more than forty years ago, he also had ambitions to recover Donghai City.

It's a pity that after several temptations, not only did they fail to take advantage of anything, but they almost caused Chu Zhao to join forces to attack Qin again.

Coupled with the infestation of powerful demon beasts from time to time, as well as the Qi State in the northeast and the Wei State in the west, which have always been eyeing each other, under internal and external difficulties, the Qin State had to put away its minions and turn to focus on economic development.

Today, the territory of the Seven Kingdoms is almost the same, and in order of ranking from largest to smallest, it is Qi, Han, Yan, Wei, Qin, Zhao, and Chu.

Among them, the Chu State, which has the smallest territorial area, is the most powerful superpower today!

Not only does it rank first in the world economically, but it is also far ahead of the other six countries in terms of military strength.

If it weren't for the "Demon Beast Advent" incident that appeared a hundred years ago, this world would probably not have been peaceful for so long, and the restless Chu State would have already started a war.

It was the arrival of the demon beast that brought disaster to the world, and at the same time brought complete changes to the world!

Along with the demon beasts entering this world, there are also a large number of special energy gases called aura!

Ordinary people are healthy and strong after absorption, and rarely get sick, and cultivators can quickly improve their strength by absorbing and refining.

The era of national cultivation was also officially opened at that time.

Not long after the Demon Beast Advent incident occurred, a mysterious powerhouse appeared in this world, bringing people a variety of introductory cultivation techniques and guiding people to practice to fight against demon beasts.

Those mysterious powerhouses call themselves disciples of the Star Gate, mysterious and powerful, and low-key.

Almost never in too much contact with the world.

So what exactly is a stargate?

Where is it?

A hundred years later, it's still a mystery.

Almost no one knows!

With the emergence of high-level martial arts powerhouses, the pattern of the world has gradually begun to change.

All kinds of thermal weapons that were once invincible in the world gradually faded from their original aura.

However, other aspects of technology have not stopped there, and are still developing rapidly with each passing day.

More than forty years ago, when the monarch of Qin ascended the throne, a group of powerful young masters also happened to emerge in the Qin country, Ling Yi's adoptive father, Shen Xiaowu, the old principal of Zongwu, and General Zhang, whom Su Qingqing had just met, were all young geniuses who had already emerged at that time.

They have all participated in many small-scale wars with Qin Guojun to recapture Donghai City!

Shen Xiaowu and General Zhang, a group of military cadres, are heavily branded as "hawks".

He has a very tough attitude towards other countries, especially former enemy countries, and advocates peace is not a compromise or instigation!

A country like Chu, which has the strongest comprehensive strength but the smallest territory, must be even more vigilant!

They won't settle for the status quo!

Be ready for war at all times!

Shen Xiaowu said when he was still very young: Da Chu is a wolf, the kind that can't be raised, once you relax your vigilance, you may pounce and bite you at any time!

But within the Qin State, there was another, even more powerful force - the academic school!

Their argument is that—

Be peaceful, no war!

Cut military spending, weaken military power!

Don't let a bunch of war maniacs ruin our world!

Fundamentally, this idea of the academic school was born on the basis of the current situation.

Nowadays, there are countless cracks in space all over the world, and according to monitoring data, it is found that there will be a second "beast tide" anytime and anywhere, and no single country has the ability to resist this beast tide.

Only when all nations come together and work together can we truly resist this threat to all of humanity.

In fact, according to normal thinking, the idea of the academic school cannot be said to be completely wrong.

From a purely starting point of view, it looks pretty good.

But this world has never been a world in which the weak have the right to speak.

In Ling Yi's opinion, some of the academics were too naïve and idealistic.

I only thought about cooperating with other countries to fight against demon beasts, but I never thought about whether those people in other countries thought the same way as them!

In the eyes of academics, suppressing the military will not affect national strength.

Somu University, for example, is a place that specializes in training the best young cultivators!

They hope that such a powerful force can be controlled by themselves, not the military department.

The bigwigs behind the academic school also think that it would be better for them to control this power!

Naturally, there will be no shortage of various struggles and games arising from this.

In general, the military is actually at a disadvantage.

After all, the vast majority of people hope that the era in which they live is peaceful and that there is no war.

Moreover, under the propaganda control of the Ministry of Truth on the side of the academics, there are many misunderstandings about the military "hawks" in the world.

In fact, most of the hard-line hawks in the military are not war maniacs, and their ideas are actually very simple, which can be summed up in one sentence -

"Whoever invades my country, I will him! anytime, anywhere!"

And the academic school is-

"Whoever violates my country, I will negotiate with him until he is convinced!"

In this regard, Ling Yi, who never wanted to think about these issues, also felt that the group of people in the academic school was quite funny.

Without a strong foundation to support you, people can slap you to death, who will talk to you?

Talking about chicken feathers?

Laziness doesn't mean ignorance, once he was still a little strange, even he could easily understand the problem, those academic bigwigs really can't understand?

It wasn't until what happened after the unexpected death of his stepfather this time that he completely understood this problem.

It's not that the group doesn't understand, they're just pretending to be stupid!

stripped of all the external camouflage used to fool people, what was revealed was actually two ugly words-

Selfish!

Whatever the purpose, in the end, it is impossible to escape the scope of these two words.

In those filthy hearts, how can there be any real world unity?

He even wondered now that what happened to him and his stepfather in Old Montenegro was an accident or a well-planned ambush!

He thought it was an accident.

After all, the meteorite that fell from the sky was in his body at the moment.

But now he had a different idea.

The first is the identity of the father-in-law!

In the past, he didn't think much about it, but now that he thinks about it seriously, his father-in-law, as a general, directly entered the Zongwu Academy and became the leader of the Zongwu Academy before the will of the monarch was completely consumed.

It's definitely a big hit for the academics!

The stepfather's wrist is also strong enough, and he has continued to reform Zongwu over the years.

Up to now, in the army of the Qin State, there are already a large number of middle and high-level officers who have graduated from Zongwu!

This is definitely an intolerable thing for academics.

And then back to the thing itself.

Meteorite Fall ...... Actually, it's not that rare.

Otherwise, where did all the large and inexpensive meteorite products on the market come from?

Even if this meteorite was special, who knew it was special until it got into his body?

Why can a meteorite fall attract Lu Qingming, one of the top powerhouses of the Chu State, the fifth-order peak power of the Great Power Sect who is respected by the people of the Chu State as the Great Master?

The meteorite had already entered Ling Yi's body before the two sides met, and Lu Qingming didn't know about it at all!

On what basis did he decide that the meteorite was in the hands of his stepfather and launched an attack without saying a word?

There are other powerful people from various countries, and what is the purpose of their appearance in Old Montenegro?

Is it really for that meteorite that only Ling Yi and his stepfather know about magic?

The situation at that time did not allow Ling Yi to think about it, and after he came back, this series of events happened again and he didn't have the heart to think about it.

Now that I have calmed down and thought about it, it is very scary to think about.

That group of people, it seems, from the beginning, didn't come for some meteorite, they didn't want the meteorite in their bodies at all.

It's the life of the Father!

So, how did they know that their stepfather was in Old Montenegro?

Originally, Ling Yi was planning to go by himself!

Over the years, he, who is unusually lazy in the eyes of outsiders, has actually gone into the deep mountains and old forests more than once to hunt demon beasts.

Otherwise, how could he afford a genius like Ling Yi, who was making rapid progress and consuming huge sums of money, just with the salary of an honest father-in-law?

Many people thought that Shen Xiaowu must be using the resources of the Zongwu Academy to cultivate his adopted son, but in fact, all this time, Ling Yi had not used any resources of the Zongwu Academy at all!

Otherwise, Zhao Tianping and those people would not need to frame a trumped-up charge on Ling Yi for causing major property losses.

All it takes is a fluttering misappropriation of the academy's resources for personal use, and it is enough to make Ling Yi doomed!

The old man had always felt guilty about Ling Yi hunting demon beasts and selling them for his own cultivation.

That's why this time I temporarily decided to go into the mountain with Ling Yi to help him hunt more demon beasts and sell them for more money, so that he could break through to the third-order Tongmai realm as soon as possible!

At the same time, I also took advantage of this opportunity to communicate with my adopted son, who rarely has the opportunity to communicate.

After all, Ling Yi was about to graduate from the academy and go out into society.

Therefore, only a few people know about this kind of ad hoc decision.

Zhao Tianping is one of them.

Then when the father-in-law had an accident and died of serious injuries, a series of dazzling actions on the side of the Zongwu Academy, now that I think about it, where does it seem like a temporary decision?

It's been planned for a long time!

"So, is that you?" Principal Zhao ......" Ling Yi's squinted eyes looked at the green fields outside the window, and in the reflection of the car window, the eyes that used to be gentle and calm were full of bright red blood, cold and fierce.
