461 Thriving, Lich Strikes
There were more than 800 hereditary nobles in the Zhou Dynasty, collectively known as the 800 princes of the Zhou Dynasty, but the hereditary nobles of the Zhou Dynasty did not mean that the heads of each generation could get this title. For example, the thirteen hereditary duke families, because there are no Taiyi realm monks yet, so their highest titles are only marquis (true immortals),
However, the fiefdoms of hereditary noble families are permanent, for example, the thirteen hereditary dukes, even if there is only one mortal left in the family, they can also own the family's hereditary blessed land and all the spiritual lands of the mountain where it is located. However, unless there are special circumstances such as rebellion and being punished by the clan, this kind of situation where only mortals are left in a family will basically not appear, and the eight hundred hereditary aristocratic families occupy the best blessed land and treasure land mountain ranges in the Yellow River Valley, and there are ancestral cultivation techniques, and the patriarch can cultivate to the divine realm even if he is a pig.
Instead of a hereditary title, once the monk dies, the territory will be taken back by the Zhou court, and without a good spiritual land, the family may collapse.
Moreover, Ji Gongyan also treats hereditary noble families very favorably, if the monks of any hereditary noble family suffer heavy losses, Ji Gongyan will reduce the recruitment of monks from his family and let them recuperate.
Compared with the way in which the various races in the flood and desolation distribute resources purely based on cultivation, the dual-track system of cultivation and merit of the human race can not only fully protect the interests of the monks, but also mobilize the enthusiasm of the human monks to dedicate themselves to the race.
Ji Gongyan has been on the throne for more than 30,000 years, and the situation of the human race is very good.
As the protagonist of heaven and earth, the demon clan is absolutely unwilling to grow with the strength of any race in the wilderness, the war between the gods and demons is launched by the demon clan in order to suppress the god race, but the strong man of the god race is too strong, so that the demon race will gain for a while but end up eating the consequences, the god race has the strength to suppress the demon race, but this does not mean that the demon race will learn a lesson and not suppress other races.
In fact, the demon clan's purpose of provoking the war between gods and demons was achieved, although the demon clan paid an extremely heavy price afterwards, but the god clan did fall from the second strongest clan in the flood wilderness to the witch clan, if you don't count the strong people in the wilderness, the strength of the god clan is even inferior to the demon race, although the demon clan does not have many strong people, but two or three million heavenly demons, hundreds of millions of demon beasts, this strength is also ranked among the various races in the flood wilderness.
After the Protoss was suppressed by the Demon Clan, under the planning of Yuan Shi, the Demon Clan lost the opportunity to digest the heritage of the Protoss and fell into a civil war, so that the Wu Clan took the opportunity to rise and had the confidence to compete with the Demon Clan. Therefore, the current flood wilderness, the three major races of the gods and demons are lurking, and the two lich races are competing for hegemony.
In such a situation, neither the witch nor the demon clan are willing to see the rise of the human race, although the strength of the human race is still very weak now, not to mention that there is no strong person in the Tao, even the masters of the Taiyi realm are only Ji Gongyan, but the two lich clans are also vigilant, because the development of the human race is too fast.
Since Ji Gongyan ascended the throne, it was only 30,000 years since the human race gave birth to a Taiyi and five or six true immortals, as well as hundreds of transformation realms and thousands of god realms, such a speed is also terrifying. You must know that among the various tribes in the flood wilderness, which one does not calculate the time by measuring the tribulation, 30,000 years is not enough for witches, demons, gods, and demons to take a nap.
After some observation, the Lich Clan came to the conclusion that although the Terran was congenitally weak, it was precisely because of the weak physique of the Terran that the aura accumulation required to advance to the next realm was not as much as that of the Lich Gods and Demons. After all, the demon body of the demon clan is calculated in zhang and li at every turn, although the size of the witch clan and the gods and demons is not as large as the demon clan, but it is not small, such a huge god body, the aura required for promotion is naturally massive.
But this does not mean that in the case of the same level, the human race is not as good as the demon race or the witch race, the so-called realm, refers to the monk's perception of the Great Dao, if the aura mana is compared to water, the monk's body is like a pond with water. In the same realm, the physical body of the human race is small, and it is easy to accumulate mana, and then it can focus on the condensation and compression of the aura of heaven and earth. As mentioned earlier, the more the aura is compressed and condensed, the higher the quality of the mana, and the more powerful the same Dao magic power is.
Therefore, the human race in the same realm fights with witches and demons, and the human race has an advantage in a short period of time, if the human race can practice a relatively powerful Taoist supernatural power, it will be able to defeat witches and demons. But if the Terrans can't defeat the opponent in a short time, after a long time, the Terrans will be defeated because of the lack of mana, which can be regarded as having their own advantages.
In addition to the fast cultivation speed of the human race, the demon race also discovered that the human race has a more terrifying specialty, that is, understanding. The comprehension of the human race is even higher than that of gods and demons.
Comprehension, in the early stage of the monk, is not as important as the root bones, bloodlines and other qualifications, but after reaching the middle level of the Taiyi realm, comprehension becomes more and more important, whether it is to comprehend the Dao, or to condense the Dao heart, or to create Dao magic powers, refining weapons and alchemy, you need to have a certain understanding.
It can be said that comprehension is the key to whether a monk can preach the Tao, especially when it comes to the realm of mixed elements, if the comprehension is not up to standard, the Tao is basically stagnant. Like the quasi-saints of the two lich clans, the vast majority of people's comprehension is not high, and the second-generation quasi-saints of the two lich clans have spent about a thousand calamities to cultivate to the quasi-saint of the mixed yuan, but after becoming a quasi-saint, it took four or five thousand tribulations, and most of them are still at the beginning and middle level of the mixed yuan.
This is also the reason why the middle and lower classes of the various ethnic groups in the flood wilderness often fight to the death, but the upper and lower classes can compromise with each other. The upper-class powerhouses need to maintain a peaceful situation, so that it is possible to discuss the Tao with foreign powerhouses, and rely on the ways of discussing the Tao and listening to lectures to improve their understanding in the way of touching and bypassing others, so as to improve their Taoism.
Like the demon clan, he fought to the death with the Protoss in the war of the Protoss, and was calculated by the Protoss, causing internal strife in the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, it stands to reason that the Demon Clan should have been fighting with the Protoss endlessly.
However, in the era of Emperor Jun, the demon clan protected the interests of the Protoss, and constantly invited the quasi-saints of the Protoss to go to the demon clan to preach and preach the Fa, and regarded the quasi-saints of the Protoss as the quasi-saints. It's not that the demon clan powerhouses are broad-minded, but that the upper-level powerhouses of the demon clan have turned their backs on the middle and lower-class demon clans for the sake of their own Taoism.
After all, witches and demons are creatures that originate from the Demon Dao, and the Demon Dao, selfishness is the nature.
After learning that the Terrans possessed extremely high comprehension and extremely fast cultivation speeds, the upper echelons of the two Lich clans tacitly began to join forces to suppress the Terrans.
And the one who is responsible for doing something to the human race is the new generation of the demon race, the quasi-saint Qiqi.
Later, Tuzu Wu succeeded to the throne of the Jade Emperor, and four of the demon clan withdrew from the heavenly court, and the three of Taotao, Chaos, and Han Qi led dozens of demon clan Daluo to fight against the heavenly court, while Qi Qi was strangely neutral.
Qi Qi neither recognized the authority of Heavenly Court, but he was also not an enemy of Heavenly Court, and even when the Demon Clan secretly vigorously supported the Three Saints of Gluttony, Qi Qi and his forces never assisted the Gluttonous Three.
All this comes from Fu Xi's plan, according to Fu Xi's plan, the gluttonous three saints were pushed to the front by the demon clan to contain the witch clan, and the demon clan secretly supported the three saints, so as to consume the power of the witch clan and inhibit the development of the witch clan. And Qiqi is responsible for breaking the foundation of the Wu clan.
Since Pangu opened the world, in the area on the edge of the flood wilderness, the chaotic qi has been continuously transformed into the flood aura, and the area of the flood desolate world has been constantly expanding. When Sanqing was just born, the area of the Flood Desolation Heaven and Earth was only a few dozen divine domains, and now the Flood Desolation has nearly 10,000 immortal domains.
The wider the area, the more spiritual lands, the more resources, and the stronger the race's heritage and strength.
As the protagonist of heaven and earth, the demon clan occupies more than eighty percent of the immortal domain of the flood wilderness, and the witch clan has more than 1,000 witch domains in the north of the flood wilderness. According to the default rules of the various clans, the nascent territory on the northern edge of the Flood Wilderness will be exploited and occupied by the Wu Clan.
Fu Xi arranged for Qi Qi to break away from Heaven and the Demon Clan, and then took part of the Demon Clan to migrate to the edge of the flood in the north. Taking advantage of the Wu Clan's crusade against the gluttonous Three Saints and their inability to expand, they will occupy the newly born Flood Wilderness region on the northern edge of the Flood Wilderness until the contact between the Wu Clan and the northern edge of the Flood Wilderness is cut off, so that the territory of the Wu Clan can be limited to more than a thousand Wu Domains, and then the Demon Clan will slowly encroach on the Wu Clan until the Wu Clan is completely wiped out.
Fu Xi's plan is very successful, since the Wu Heavenly Court and the three sages of gluttony started the war, a large number of Wu warriors died in the conquest, the population of the Wu tribe has not been able to grow, and naturally it is unable to open up new Wu domains, so Qi Qi has completed the strategic encirclement of the Wu Clan, just wait for the Demon Clan to regain the position of the Jade Emperor, Qi Qi can announce his return to the Demon Clan, and then the Demon Clan can begin to encroach on the Wu Clan.
It's not that the Wu clan didn't see through the demon clan's plan, but the demon clan used a yang scheme, when the gluttonous three saints were in the light and the demon clan was fighting against the Wu clan in the dark, the Wu clan really had no reason and no troops to deal with an absolutely neutral quasi-saint who never helped the gluttonous three saints.
In fact, if the Wu Clan dares to send troops against Qiqi, the Demon Clan will use this as an excuse to declare war on the Wu Clan and fully join the war against the Wu Clan. The Wu Clan does not yet have the confidence to start an all-out war with the Demon Clan.
Under the negotiation of the two lich clans, Qiqi, who had completed the mission of Fuxi, was sent to deal with the Terrans.
If it is the other powerhouses of the two lich clans and the forces under their command to make a move against the human race, because they are bound by the rules of the Heavenly Court, they will not be able to do greater damage to the human race at all, after all, they are all immortal officials and immortals serving in the Heavenly Court.
If Qi Qi made a move, he would not have these troubles, as a quasi-saint force independent of Heavenly Court, even if Qi Qi and his subordinates did not abide by the rules of Heaven and killed more human races, Heavenly Court would have a reason not to pursue it.
Qi Qi himself is also full of confidence, thinking that this simple task is to be captured, but unfortunately he and the Lich Clan don't know that the Terran Zhou Tianzi Ji Gongyan is actually the reincarnation of Taishang's distraction, and as a result, he has caused a catastrophe of death.
