Ye Qin and Huangfu Bing'er returned to Linhai City, and in addition to cultivating and refining every day, they were refining the twelfth-order elixir. His little magic alchemy has reached the advanced stage, and it is extremely difficult to continue to improve, and a large number of spirit stones will be needed for the immortal and demon wars in the future. He needs to prepare for this now.

Half a month has passed in a flash.

On the day he made an appointment with Elder Jiang, Ye Qin went to the Tianqi Dao Merchant Pavilion in Linhai City as promised. Paying homage to Jiang Zhenyuan, who is the guest elder of the northern sect of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Jiang Zhenyuan had just successfully refined a furnace of tenth-order elixirs these days, and had obtained hundreds of high-grade elixirs, and he was in a rather happy mood, and he actually had a smile on his always cold and indifferent face.

Leaving the Shang Pavilion, the two of them chatted as they headed for the branch of the Heavenly Dao Alliance in Linhai City.

"Elder Jiang, how many Elders from the Heavenly Dao Alliance will participate in this alliance?"

Ye Qin asked, he only knew that the number of Elder Keqing was very small, but he didn't know how many.

"Heh, how can this old man know! The entire East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm only inspects a few people and knows the true number of Elder Keqing. And there are new guests all year round, as well as dead and fallen guests. Not all of the Hakka elders will participate in every alliance meeting. Today, only a small number of guest elders from Linhai City and nearby Immortal Cities will come, and other guest elders from distant Immortal Cities may not have the leisure to come here to participate in the alliance. ”

Jiang Zhenyuan smiled lightly.

"The five sect masters of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, they should all know the number of Elder Keqing?"

Ye Qin asked.

"The five sect masters? They only know the number of guests in their own sects, and they don't know about the other sects! The relationship between the five major sects is quite complicated, and I am afraid that they will not be able to explain it clearly for a while. ”

Jiang Zhenyuan shook his head and said.

"The juniors don't know much about this, so please ask Elder Jiang for some advice!"

Ye Qin said sincerely.

"It's okay, the old man has served under the Yu Sect Master of the White Mansion for a period of time, and he knows some details about the internal scenes, so I'll tell you a little bit. ”

Jiang Zhenyuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said.

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a group of extremely talented ancestor-level cultivators crossed east from the Great Land Immortal Cultivation Realm of Middle Earth to the islands of the East China Sea, opened up the territory of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and established the Heavenly Dao Alliance. At the beginning of the establishment of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, there were no ten sect masters and elder groups. ”

"It's just that about 100,000 years ago, there was a huge splitting danger within the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Five of the sect masters ran away and established another Heavenly Demon Alliance, claiming to be giants, and since then the Heavenly Demon Alliance and the Heavenly Demon Alliance have separated. At present, the Heavenly Dao Alliance has only stabbed five sect masters. This number has not changed until now. ”

"The five suzerains of the Heavenly Dao Alliance are divided into five major sects: the Central Channel, the North, the Northeast, the Northwest, and the West, and they respectively rule over the seas under the jurisdiction of the East China Sea. For every major lineage, there is a group of elders of the lineage, as well as a sect master. ”

"Within the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the supreme position is the Elder Body. Then there are the five sect masters, who are in charge of the many immortal palaces in the clans under the command, and deal with large and small complicated affairs. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhenyuan suddenly asked Ye Qin, "Do you know why the Heavenly Demon Dao Alliance and the Heavenly Demon Alliance are both called Alliances?"

"Why?"

Ye Qin shook his head.

"Because of the covenant!! the elders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance hold the covenant of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. For hundreds of thousands, the large and small covenants in the East China Sea were all made by the elders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. ”

"This junior knows a thing or two, prohibiting the Yuanying Monk from cultivating in the Great Continent of Middle-earth is one of the covenants, right!?"

"Not bad. This is just one of the covenants. Considering the lack of spiritual objects in the Great Continent of Middle-earth, the Heavenly Dao Alliance made this extremely famous covenant in order to prevent the origin of the monks from being consumed in the Immortal Cultivation Realm of the Great Continent of Middle-earth. Many of the infant-level monks who violated this covenant were killed by the monks of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Later, the Infant Monk gradually appeared in Middle-earth very rarely. ”

"However, it was precisely because of the huge disagreement over the covenant of the Heavenly Demon Alliance that there was internal strife, which caused half of the sect masters to leave with a large number of Immortal Palace monks, and made another covenant, and established the Heavenly Demon Alliance. Therefore, there are currently two "Covenants" in the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm. Because the covenant of the Heavenly Demon Alliance is also inherited from the Heavenly Demon Alliance, most of the content is the same. There is only one very important core part of it, and there is a difference. The monks of the two Immortal Alliances come from the same origin, and as long as they don't involve this core difference, they can work together most of the time. ”

Jiang Zhenyuan explained the reason for the split between the two immortal alliances, and only then did he say, "It is precisely because the elder group of the Heavenly Dao Alliance holds the power to formulate and revise the covenant, that the status of the elder group is supreme in the Heavenly Dao Alliance. The covenant made by the Elders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance strictly controlled the order of the entire East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, and no sect master or giant could violate it.

The elder group and the sect master can select and nominate Yuanying monks with prestige and strength to become the senior elders. Select monks who have achieved high achievements in alchemy, refining, talisman seals and many other aspects, and become guest elders of various sects.

And the number of such monks is very small, so the various sects are also very strict in their protection. A monk like you who was born in the Northern Purple Sword Immortal Palace can only become an Elder of the Northern Hakqing.

Other clans will not easily cross the line to recruit you. ”

"What about the Heavenly Demon Alliance, and the same is true of the Elder Group of the Heavenly Demon Alliance?"

Ye Qin asked.

"The Heavenly Demon Alliance also has Elder Keqing, but the power of the giant is much heavier than that of the sect master. ”

Jiang Zhenyuan explained with a smile.

"Although the Elder Group of the Heavenly Dao Alliance has an extremely high status, the list of members will not be announced to the public. As far as I know, each of the five, in the hands of the Sect Master, has a list of such guest elders. As soon as he talked about this, Jiang Zhenyuan also said with a solemn face.

"However, the five sect masters did not exchange lists with each other, they only kept a copy of the list in their respective hands as a backup of the Elder Group of the Heavenly Dao Alliance in Immortal Que City, so as not to lose it accidentally. ”

"In addition, the five chief elders of the various sects of the Heavenly Dao Alliance form a chief elder council, and they have great authority, so they are qualified to read all five lists and know the identity and origin of each guest elder. ”

"These five chief elders are in the major main immortal cities such as Immortal Que City and Baifu City all year round, and rarely go out. It is only when it matters that they convene the elders of each clan for an alliance. Even between these five chief elders, in fact, they rarely meet, unless they want to make an alliance, or a major event like the fairy and demon war that affects the entire Heavenly Dao Alliance, the chief elders will meet. ”

Jiang Zhenyuan's explanation made Ye Qin puzzled, and he completely understood the high-level situation of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. He was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Then today's alliance is convened by the chief elder of the northern sect?"

"Not bad. ”

Jiang Zhenyuan said with a smile, "Only the chief elder knows how many guests there are in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and it is impossible for us to know." Of course, there are some active Elders of the Hakqing, who are very famous in the East China Sea, and almost everyone knows about them. However, there are also some Haqing elders who have been in retreat all year round, and no one knows about their existence except for the sect masters and chief elders of all parties. Only when participating in the meeting of the Elders Group will these guest elders be present, and the identities and origins of these monks are usually not known to the outside world.

When you get to the branch of the Heavenly Dao Alliance in Linhai City, you just need to listen to it, and you don't have to make any claims. The general strategy of the Heavenly Dao Alliance has been formulated thousands of years ago, or even 10,000 years ago. This war is just a matter of time when the time is ripe to carry out specific deployments. ”

Jiang Zhenyuan suggested.

Ye Qin nodded slightly, it was the first time he participated in the Dian Alliance meeting, and he almost didn't know anything about it, so he naturally listened to it more.

Jiang Zhenyuan and Ye Qin chatted all the way to the Linhai City branch of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

A majestic hall, the palace wall of Zhu Xian Hongli Jin, is extremely eye-catching. On the palace gate, there is a golden plaque, the three big characters of "Tianqi Daomeng" with a pen and a dragon and snake, and the five small sects of "Linhai City Branch" outside the palace gate, two rows of Jindan monks, wearing armor and magic weapons, with solemn faces.

There weren't many monks here, and compared to the other lively places in Linhai City, it seemed very empty and deserted.

In the open space on both sides of the palace gate, some spirit beast cars have been parked, under various flags, quite low-key, obviously not wanting to attract too much attention.

"This is the branch of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, those who come stop here, please show the token before you can enter. ”

A Jindan guard guarding in front of the main hall immediately greeted Ye Qin and Jiang Zhenyuan as soon as he saw Ye Qin and Jiang Zhenyuan stepping forward, and said respectfully and solemnly.

Ye Qin and Jiang Zhenyuan didn't say much, and each showed a black piece of Elder Keqing's order.

The black tokens in their hands all emitted a faint strange black light at this time, and a few inches above the token, a few inches above the token, faintly shot out the handwriting of "Elder Haqing of the Northern Sect of the Heavenly Dao Alliance".

The material of this token is very special, and the first time the monk uses the magic force to make it glow, it remembers the monk's magic power aura.

Even if the other monks got their hands on it, their breaths were different, and they couldn't make it glow at all. Even if you forcibly wipe the breath inside, you can't do it. Therefore, the token of each Elder Keqing is unique and can no longer be used by other monks.

The two of them then received the tokens.

After the guard confirmed, he saluted respectfully and was about to lead the two inside, when he saw several purple-shirted monks coming from a distance. The person who came was Zhou Yu, the palace master of the Purple Sword Palace, as well as Zhou Hong, the elder of the Supreme Palace, Zhou Yi, the young palace master, and others.

This alliance is an internal meeting of the northern clan. In addition to the members of the Northern Elder Group in attendance, there were also palace masters of the four immortal palaces of the Purple Sword Palace, Shangtang Palace, Wanluo Palace, and Unu Er Palace.

Zhou Yu and others appeared here, undoubtedly to participate in the alliance.

"I've seen the palace master and the Supreme Elder!"

As soon as Ye Qin looked at people, he couldn't help but bow to Zhou Yu and Zhou Hong, and then smiled at Zhou Yi and said, "Brother Zhou is polite!"

"Ye Ji!"

Zhou Yi hurriedly smiled in return.

Ye Qin's current cultivation at the eighth layer of the Jindan is one layer worse than his ninth layer of the Jindan, but since Ye Qin succeeded the five elders of the Purple Sword Palace, the status of the elders is actually a cut higher than that of him, the young palace master, so he doesn't dare to be a brother.

"Elder Ye...... Elder Jiang is here too!"

When the palace master of Zhou saw Ye Qin here, he turned his head and saw Jiang Zhenyuan again, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he was slightly puzzled in his heart.

The relationship between the Zhou Palace Lord and the Yu Sect Master of the White Mansion is very deep, and he naturally knows Jiang Zhenyuan, the guest elder who used to be an elder with a surname outside the White Floating Palace. It's just that he didn't know how Ye Qin could walk with Jiang Zhenyuan, an Elder Keqing, and come to the outside of the main hall of the Linhai City Heavenly Dao Alliance.

The guard saw that several of them were acquaintances of the high-ranking monks of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and seemed to be still talking, so he retreated in a witty manner.
