Ma Xie was thrown out hundreds of miles by Liu Zhi at once, he did not resist, but flew in the sky like this, looking at the land under his feet.

"The birthplace of dragon slayers. Ma Xie carefully recalled Liu Zhi's words.

He's finally here, Middle-earth.

Central Continent occupies the most vast land in the Pangea Continent, with a length of more than 40,000 miles from east to west, and countless sects and countries are gathered here, and this is also the place with the most cultivators.

Ma Xie didn't know where he was in Middle-earth now, he had to figure this out, and then he would go to find Yuan Wuji and Thunder Stone.

After flying for half an hour, Ma Xie saw a small city in front of him.

Far away, Ma Xie fell, and he didn't want to be noticed, so he blended in with the crowd walking on the ground and walked into the city.

Above the city gate, there are three words written "Anlu City".

After entering the city, Ma Xie saw that there were many cultivators setting up stalls on both sides of the street, and they all said that the practice of Zhongzhou was prevalent, and sure enough, when he entered a small city, he could meet cultivators.

Ma Xie walked around the stalls and found a map of Middle-earth, which he bought and walked into a restaurant.

It turned out that the place where Ma Xie was staying now was the westernmost part of Central Continent, which belonged to the territory of the Zhou Kingdom, and was thousands of miles away from the Jin Kingdom.

Judging from the map, this place is still far from the territory of the Dao Sect, and it is already the limit to be able to teleport so far when it is close to the teleportation array temporarily built by the Ming Organization.

Yuan Wuji and Lei Shi, if nothing else, should have arrived in Jingzhou, which already belongs to the hinterland of Zhongzhou, and is the core area controlled by the Dao Sect, there is still a distance of nearly 20,000 miles to get there, Ma Xie decided to find the big city of Zhou first, and take a large teleportation array from there.

The owner of the hotel is a shrewd man, and he has been looking through the map since Ma Xie came in, and he knew that Ma Xie was not a local, so he diligently brought a booklet, which recorded the customs of the Zhou Kingdom, as well as the distribution of major forces, and wanted to sell it to Ma Xie.

Ma Xie happily bought the booklet, then ordered a few more glasses of wine and food, and read it slowly.

The state of Zhou was the oldest of the five great powers, and even one of the oldest on the continent.

The Great Zhou in history once occupied most of the western part of Central Continent, and even occupied half of the current land of the Jin Kingdom.

The national army of the Zhou State called themselves the "Son of Heaven", and they were an ancient family, the Ji people. At the beginning, it was a tribe entrenched in the "Luo River" valley in Central Continent, and later gradually grew and established its own country.

Today's Zhou State is still under the rule of this family, and Zhou Tianzi divided the entire Zhou State into seven vassal states, the kings of these vassal states are all surnamed Ji blood, they are not only the absolute leaders of their own vassal states, but also the courtiers of Zhou Tianzi, and they have the heavy responsibility of defending Zhou Tianzi.

Anlu City, where Ma Xie is now located, is the "Pingyang Kingdom" of the "Pingyang Gong" Ji Geng's territory.

This state form of the Zhou State is one of the most primitive state forms.

Nowadays, the countries on the mainland are following the example of Qin and establishing a state under the unified command of the central dynasty, which is obviously more actionable.

There are very few countries like the Zhou State that relied on fiefdom to build up.

The Zhou state, which was established on the basis of clans and feudalism, gave the people under its rule a strong sense of "belonging" from birth.

They like to refer to themselves as their principality, they like to call their neighbors "brothers", and they don't like to live in other countries, and even if they are wandering practitioners, they are eventually willing to return to their homeland.

This ancient habit of the Zhou people made the Zhou State the country with the least population loss among the five major countries.

But it was also this system that made the Zhou state and its hostility to the county system led by the Qin state, including the Jin state, which was implementing the county system.

Ma Xie looked at this booklet, and his heart was full of emotion, on this continent, each country and region has different customs and political systems, and I don't know what other countries have different customs.

The largest city in the vicinity is Lingdu City, the kingdom of Pingyang Kingdom, which is more than 300 miles away.

Ma Xie rested in Anlu City for a day, and after buying a new space ring, he set off for Lingdu City.

According to the law of Binh Duong, practitioners from other countries are not allowed to enter Lingdu City without registering in advance, and the place of registration is at a place called Xiaosi Mountain outside Lingdu City.

Ma Xie came to Koji Mountain alone, where there was already a long queue, and about a dozen people were waiting there.

"It's really troublesome, cultivators have to register when they enter the city, this Zhou country is really too rigid. A chubby figure appeared in front of Ma Xie, and that person was Liu Zongxuan, whom Ma Xie had met before.

So Ma Xie walked over and patted Liu Zongxuan on the shoulder, Liu Zongxuan was startled, thinking that it was his words that caused the dissatisfaction of the cultivators of the Zhou Kingdom.

Seeing that it was Ma Xie, Liu Zongxuan relieved himself.

After some conversation, Ma Xie learned that Liu Zongxuan had left Shicheng since the birth of the strange treasure, and continued to travel all the way east, until he reached Qinglu Jianyuan, but it was too chaotic there, and Liu Zongxuan could only go south to the Zhou Kingdom.

Liu Zongxuan's purpose turned out to be the same as Ma Xie, he wanted to leave the Zhou Kingdom from here to take the dragon slayer exam.

"This time the dragon slayer exam, but there may not be once in a thousand years!" Liu Zongxuan said to Ma Xie.

It turned out that this time the Dragon Slayer Exam turned out to be the most difficult of all the Dragon Slayer Exams - the Mainland Dragon Slayer Joint Assessment.

The general dragon slayer assessment is conducted separately by each country and the ten major sects.

Dragon slayers who have passed the assessment can only explore foreign lands within the prescribed range, and if they want to explore foreign lands of other forces, they have to go through a series of troublesome applications.

The dragon slayer assessment of the ten major sects is to allow the dragon slayer to be more unrestrained, so they are united for the assessment, after all, the foreign entrance occupied by the ten major sects has accounted for as much as half of the mainland.

However, such an assessment is only held once every 30 years. Generally speaking, every ten years, there will be three to four sects for joint assessments, which is the assessment that ordinary dragon slayers participate in.

And this year's assessment is even more different, under the operation of the ten major sects, this exam not only has all the ten major sects participated, but also joined the two major countries of Zhou and Qi, which is also the largest dragon slayer assessment in the history of the mainland.

Therefore, this assessment is called the "Continental Dragon Slayer Joint Assessment", and the dragon slayer who can pass this assessment is equivalent to having a pass for more than half of the continent.

This assessment attracted a large number of cultivators, and cultivators from all over the mainland rushed to Qingzhou, the examination room of the exam.

Qingzhou is located in the middle of Central Continent, is the largest state in Central Continent, and belongs to the jurisdiction of Taoism.

All candidates will be assessed within a radius of thousands of miles in Qingzhou, and in the end, only a very small number of people will win, which is also known as the most cruel dragon slayer assessment.

"It's not a thousand years old!" Liu Zongxuan sighed.

"Why is it so big this time?" Ma Xie was puzzled.

Liu Zongxuan was obviously very aware of this, and he explained to Ma Xie: "Because the resources of foreign lands are becoming more and more difficult to collect. In the past, each sect was enough to be self-sufficient as long as it stuck to its own foreign entrances and exits, but now the resources in these foreign lands have been almost collected.

"In order to gather more resources, humanity must explore more foreign lands and find more entrances to foreign lands. Restricting the dragon slayer to a certain sphere of influence is obviously not the most efficient approach. Therefore, this time, the ten major sects and the two great powers decided to unite all the exotic entrances within their regions, and from now on, as long as the dragon slayer who passed the assessment could explore the exotic lands in these places.

However, in order to control the control of the entrance and exit of the foreign land, each force wanted to train its own dragon slayer as much as possible, and in the end, all parties fought over it, and even formulated an unprecedentedly strict assessment method, so that no one would have any objection to the selected dragon slayer.

Moreover, the dragon slayer selected this time has unprecedented authority because they can enter and exit the territory of the major forces at will, so the number of people selected in the end will not be too large. ”

"How many places are there?" Ma Xie asked.

"A hundred. Liu Zongxuan said.

"What about the number of participants?"

"More than a million. ”

This is an unprecedented dragon slayer exam, bringing together elites from all regions of the continent to come here, because with the identity of this dragon slayer, you can almost run rampant on the continent, so this exam is also known as the "ultimate dragon slayer exam".

Not to mention anything else, this title alone is enough to make other cultivators envious.

Ma Xie and Liu Zongxuan registered successively, and then each received a sign, and then hurried to Lingdu City.

In Lingdu City, there are already many cultivators, and the most lively topic among cultivators these days is undoubtedly the "Ultimate Dragon Slayer Exam" this time.

Several young monks gathered together to talk, and one of them said loudly: "This time, the selection will be the top talents in the mainland, and I dare to say that the 100 people who are shortlisted this time will definitely be the most influential figures in the mainland in the future." ”

"That's natural, maybe the head of the Dao Sect in the future will be among these hundred people. ”

"Not to mention the head of the Dao Sect, this time the elites of the major forces will come to participate, maybe in the future, the lords of the five major countries and the leaders of the ten major sects will all come out of this competition!"

"Isn't it forbidden for cultivators from the ten major sects and the big forces outside of Qi and Zhou to participate this time?"

"When did you hear this, I just got the information this morning, this time, the three kingdoms of Jin, Qin, and Chu have all announced their participation, and the dragon slayers selected this time will be the first batch of cultivators on the continent who can cross the continent!"
