Chapter 292: The Great World
The day of the Daoist Sect's assessment soon came, and three days in advance, Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji took the Thunder Stone to the front of the Enlightenment Stone in Jingzhou City.
This is the examination room for the assessment of Taoist disciples, and all the candidates are here to participate in the assessment.
The nearby restaurants and inns were already full of people, and Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji finally found an inn to live in.
As soon as she settled in, Ah Lian walked in.
"How's it going, I'm still well-informed, right?" said Ah Lian proudly.
Ma Xie said: "This thief is really magical, you found us so quickly." ”
Who knew that Ah Lian shook her head: "No, thieves are not allowed to fly around in Jingzhou City, once they are discovered, they will definitely die." ”
As an important town of Taoism, Jingzhou City has gathered many high-level monks, including many cultivators of the Yudan Realm like Qi Leyao.
They don't want their every move to be watched, which is undoubtedly a provocation to them.
Therefore, in Jingzhou City, all means of listening and monitoring are prohibited, and once discovered, they will be removed from the city.
Ah Lian originally wanted to resume his old business in Jingzhou City, but his thief Tingbee couldn't play much role here, and his ability to gather intelligence was greatly reduced, so he was very depressed.
In Jingzhou City, there are not many markets for trading strange beasts, so after wandering around for a while, Ah Lian found that she couldn't find a suitable foreign beast as a substitute for the thief listening bee.
"Then how did you know the news? Could it be that you have clairvoyance and ears?" asked Ma Xie curiously.
"Haha, although there are no thieves, I'm an intelligence master after all! Look at what this is?" Ah Lian handed Ma Xie a thick piece of jade slip.
Ma Xie injected a stream of aura from the jade slip, and lines of text appeared in the air.
The green text lit up everyone's faces, and they looked at the words inside curiously, Lei Shi said a little stupidly: "Master, this is the list and information of the examiners this time!"
Lines of green text circulate, with names displayed on them.
Ma Xie casually clicked on one of the names, and it was revealed:
Zhou Taiheng, seventeen years old, congenital realm, cultivating five meridians, a son of the Zhou family's sword sect, father Zhou Qingyuan, the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, mother Li Lingzhi, the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and two brothers, Zhou Taiji and Zhou Taiping, are both the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm. Among them, the second brother Zhou Taiping is a disciple of Taoism, and he is now a disciple of Fujiyama Zhenren, a six-star sect member of the Oriental Xuangong, and is a second-class inner disciple. Zhou Taiheng has a high talent in swordsmanship, and he has high hopes for his father, and it is said that he will soon enter the realm of qi refining.
Clicking on a random message and finding a strong opponent.
"The Zhou family of the Sword Sect, I've heard of it, it seems to be the holy land of the Sword Sect in the world, and their children are so powerful?" Ma Xie said.
Both parents are high-level cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm, and the two elder brothers are already like this, so it is obvious that Zhou Taiheng will not be weak.
"Don't be discouraged, you're still young. Yuan Wuji comforted: "The children of the Zhou family are just like this, they are three years younger than Ma Xie, not far worse, they are congenital." ”
Yuan Wuji does have the capital of pride, he is a strange beast, but his cultivation speed is far higher than that of many mortals, you must know that many strange beasts are hundreds of years in their growth period alone.
For Yuan Wuji and Ma Xie, this Zhou Taiheng is indeed much worse.
If measured by age, Ma Xie's strength has long been far beyond his peers, even if Liu Zongxuan is called the leader of their sect, he is still a big step away from Ma Xie.
Among the people I met before, the closest in age to Ma Xie were Huo Yanfei and Wu Pingtian, but they were also nearly ten years older than Ma Xie.
"Lei Shi, according to your current progress, you will definitely be able to become a cultivator before the age of fourteen, your talent is even higher than mine, you must not be presumptuous. But you have to keep in mind that age doesn't tell the whole story. If it weren't for the curse you were bearing, I would have hoped that you would have been able to open up as many meridians as possible and break through, as little as six or seven, so that you would have a strong advantage in your future practice. "Ma Xie has great hopes for Lei Shi, and what he fears most is that Lei Shi is in a hurry and destroys the foundation.
"Master, I understand, as soon as my curse is broken, I will practice solidly, and I will never do stupid things that I am in a hurry to achieve!" Lei Shi said to Ma Xie.
Ah Lian looked at Lei Shi's immature but sincere face, and couldn't help laughing: "What a good boy, but I still want to remind you that Zhou Taiheng is just the lowest-level child of the Zhou family." ”
"What? What does this mean?" Ma Xie asked, why was an innate martial artist of such age just the lowest child of the family?
Ah Lian explained: "Although the Zhou family is only a family, they have existed for tens of thousands of years, and there will be sword immortals born in all dynasties, and they are the leading swordsmanship family on the mainland. ”
"I know this, it is said that it is the Holy Land of the Sword Sect. "Ma Xie has heard of this for a long time.
"Therefore, after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the Zhou family is actually a super big sect, and their heritage is no less than any of the top ten sects, if it is only the top combat power, I am afraid that only the Dao Sect, Haotian Sect, the Hall of Eternal Life and the Lei Yin Temple can suppress him a little. "As an intelligence officer, Ah Lian is still well aware of these things on the mainland.
"After all, the Sword Immortal attack is unparalleled, and the attack power of the same level is the first, so the Zhou family has always been a very strong family. Ah Lian continued: "And the Zhou family, which has gone through tens of thousands of years, is already a behemoth, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in their family, just like a small country. Like the big family, the Zhou family also has many branches, for example, Zhou Taiheng is the branch of one of the small branches, it can be said that they are just surnamed Zhou, not the Zhou family, let alone the core of the children. ”
The words made Lei Shi tremble when he heard it. What a huge family this is, it is a small branch, and there will be characters like Zhou Taiheng, so their core disciples are probably even more powerful.
"The contemporary sword master of the Zhou family, named Zhou Xuangong, has two sons, Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Qingyue. Among them, the eldest son, Zhou Qingyu, is only twenty-six years old, and he is a cultivator of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, Ma Xie, I guess he will definitely be an important opponent for you in this Dragon Slayer Assessment. "Ah Lian revealed an important message.
"Zhou Qingyu, the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm?" Ma Xie silently remembered the name in his heart, "Such a character, I'm afraid it's that kind of peerless genius, I don't know if Linghu Xiaobai of Xuanyang Gate is his opponent." ”
"Linghu Xiaobai, I have heard of him, the first person in Xuanyangmen, has a legendary life, but he is very low-key and rarely makes shots, I don't know his accurate strength, I don't think it should be stronger than Zhou Qingyu. Ah Lian said: "After a while, there will be a list of seeded players who will participate in this Dragon Slayer assessment, and I think they will make an objective evaluation." ”
"Ranking?seed player?" Ma Xie is like a local old man, who doesn't know anything about these things.
The hottest topic in the mainland today is naturally the Ultimate Dragon Slayer Contest that will be officially held next year.
This Dragon Slayer Contest is not only a group of super dragon slayers, but also a contest between big forces.
And the one who is the vanguard of this contest is a young talent of a big force!
The Dragon Slayer Conference has a strict age limit, and it must be under a hundred years old for such a practitioner to have the potential to continue to ascend to the realm.
Cultivators under the age of 100 are considered relatively young in the entire cultivation world.
Some good deeds have made statistics on the young generation leaders of the major forces on the mainland, and found that almost all of the young generation of the various forces are no more than 40 years old.
So some people exclaimed, this is a golden world, a world of great controversy that only comes once in 5,000 years.
Geniuses are born, and geniuses are in charge.
These young cultivators hardly encountered any bottlenecks in their cultivation, and with the great help of the sect, they made great progress on the path of cultivation, and one by one they cultivated at a very fast speed to a height that their peers could not reach.
And Zhou Qingyu and Linghu Xiaobai are among the best.
In addition, Dongfang Huiyao, a disciple of the Dongfang Palace of the Dao Sect, Shen Xueying, a disciple of the Haotian Sect, Qin Shan, the Holy Son of the Hall of Eternal Life, etc., are already famous figures.
There are also princes of the major powers, who have been best cultivated since childhood, and they are all ready to show their talents in this conference.
However, according to Ah Lian's intelligence, these are already famous, but they are not necessarily the strongest among the younger generation of various forces.
For example, in the Taoist Sect, among the disciples of each generation, the strongest six people will be selected for special cultivation.
These six people are called the "Six Dao", no one knows their true identity, and no one knows what kind of training they have undergone, but there is no doubt that the "Six Dao Sects" are the core disciples cultivated by the Dao Sect, and they will only appear when the Dao Sect is in crisis, and they are also the last barrier of the Dao Sect.
After the new generation of Rokudo grows up, the old Rokudo automatically abdicates, and before that, the young "Rokudo" is called "Little Rokudo". If this Dragon Slayer Conference happens to have a new generation of "Little Six Dao" appearing, then they will be the real powerhouses.
"I heard a legend a long time ago that above the Six Paths, there were even more powerful figures, named 'Daoyi'. Only those who can inherit the mantle of Dao Ancestor in the future as determined by the Dao Sect can get this name. And once this person is born, he must be a figure who influences the situation on the mainland. This is the essence of Taoism. ”
"The Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things... Dare to take the name of Daoyi, which shows its ambition. Ma Xie said: "I don't know if this generation of Taoist sects will be born." ”
"Definitely. Ah Lian said: "I have a hunch, this time the dragon slayer conference, the real Tianjiao in various forces, the legendary physique, and the monsters against the sky will appear one by one, there are already many rumors, half of the thirty-six treasure bodies have already appeared, and a few days ago, it was rumored that in a certain country in the east, someone had witnessed the Dao body shoot!"
