Chapter 20 Jiuzhou Continent
readx; After warning everyone, Wang Ziyan began to introduce some basic knowledge of the cultivation realm to everyone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The land where Li Zhe lives is called the Jiuzhou Continent, the entire Jiuzhou Continent is very large, from east to west, at least tens of millions of miles, mortals will definitely not be able to cross it in their lifetime, even the fastest Yuan Infant Stage monk will take several years to cross. The entire continent is surrounded by a strange gray mist. This strange fog not only blocks the light, but also blocks the divine sense. Mortals who walk into the Misty Zone cannot see, and eventually get lost and die. When a monk walks into the misty zone, his divine consciousness will be greatly compressed, not much different from ordinary mortals, and in the end, he will be lost and trapped to death. What's even more terrifying is that the fog has an invisible substance, colorless, odorless, formless, mortals will not be fine when they encounter it, but once the monk is touched, he will inexplicably explode and die. Fortunately, the fog is slowly dissipating, and although the speed is very slow, the area of the Jiuzhou Continent is indeed expanding. As for whether there are other continents outside the mist, according to the records on the jade slips handed down from ancient times, there should be, but no one can pass through the mist area, so it can't be proven.
The Jiuzhou Continent is divided into nine states, the most central part of the continent, and the place where the aura is the thickest, known as Zhongzhou. Zhongzhou occupies more than ninety percent of the area of the entire continent, outstanding people, it can be said that it gathers the essence of the Jiuzhou continent, and there are many top cultivation sects, the largest of which is known as the ancestor of the world's cultivation of truth, Taishimen, and the second is the first sect of the Demon Dao, the Demon Spirit Sect, these two are outstanding, and they can be described as super sects. Around Zhongzhou, the most marginal land is divided into Youzhou, Yunzhou, Yuezhou, Haizhou, Liangzhou, Ningzhou, Changzhou, and Qingzhou. In the eyes of the Zhongzhou monks, the eight states are just some wild places, with few lands and scarce things, which are not worth mentioning at all, and the Zhongzhou monks rarely set foot in them.
The place where Yunmeng Sect is located is Youzhou, Youzhou is in the east of Zhongzhou, Qingzhou in the north, and Yunzhou in the south, but there is a Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range in the middle. And to the east of Youzhou is an endless fog area.
Ever since Dongfang Mingxuan Ancestor expelled the Demon Dao Cultivators and founded the Yunmeng Sect, he has been the overlord of the Youzhou Cultivation Realm for two thousand years, occupying most of the land in Youzhou. The Yunmeng Sect's sphere of influence was in the southern part of Youzhou, which happened to be adjacent to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Such a geographical location caused every time the beast tide broke out, the Yunmeng Sect was the first to bear the brunt, and the monks of the Yunmeng Sect in the past generations had faithfully carried out the teachings of the Eastern Ancestor.
In the north of Youzhou, from west to east, there are three large Xiuzhen sects, the Jade Sword Gate, the King Kong Mountain, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Village. The three major sects have a long history, and they existed before the Eastern Ancestor founded the Yunmeng Sect, but they were all under the rule of the Demon Dao Cultivators at that time. Although the three factions surrendered to the Demon Dao Monks, they were still suppressed everywhere, and if it weren't for the Eastern Ancestor expelling the Demon Dao Monks, the three factions probably wouldn't be able to support it now. Dongfang Ancestor treated people leniently, did not use his power to suppress people, and expelled the Demon Dao monks, but did not ask the three factions to surrender to Yunmeng Sect or expel them as well, but allowed them to continue to develop in Youzhou. The three factions nominally worship the Yunmeng Sect as the lord of Youzhou, but in fact, they are not under the jurisdiction of the Yunmeng Sect. Dongfang Ancestor did not ask the three factions to join the resistance to the beast tide, and the three factions were happy to sit back and enjoy the success. It can be said that the benevolence of the Eastern Ancestor caused the current predicament of the Yunmeng Sect, when the Ancestor was alive, under his invincible prestige, the demon beasts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range naturally did not dare to make any changes. At that time, the prestige of the Yunmeng Sect was in full swing, and the Xiuzhen family in Youzhou scrambled to send their most elite children. Once every ten years, the mountain gate is opened to receive disciples, and the people who come to the spirit test are often thousands of times, so naturally there is no one to worry about the successor.
After the ancestor sat down, as time passed, its invincible prestige gradually became a legend, and it no longer had enough power. The demon beasts of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range frequently launched beast tides, and the scale was getting bigger and bigger, and the Yunmeng Sect could easily suppress them at first, but the pressure became more and more intense, and finally it evolved into a bloody battle every time the beast tide fell, and more and more monks fell, and they became more and more advanced. The more tragic the battle situation is, the less those Xiuzhen families will send their outstanding disciples to the Yunmeng Sect, and if they can't recruit enough disciples, the strength of the Yunmeng Sect will decline, and the more tragic the battle situation will be when the beast tide occurs, thus forming a vicious circle.
Human nature is selfish, an outstanding son may bring about a take-off of the family, how can the family be sacrificed casually, compared to joining the Yunmeng Sect may fall at any time, joining the three factions is obviously a better choice, and in the end, most of the Xiuzhen family fell to the three factions.
Back then, the caves in Yunmeng's lower courtyard were almost full, and now they can only receive a few kittens every time they open the mountain gate. In its heyday, there were more than ten Yuanying monks in Yunmengzong, and there were more than two Yuanying late stage monks, which was not much compared to the large sects in Zhongzhou. In the generation of the head of the king, there are only three people, and the signs of the sect's decline have appeared. The strength of the three factions is thriving, and until now, each faction has a monk in the infancy stage, and the disciples are even more elite, which is in stark contrast to the scene of the sunset in the West Mountain of the Yunmeng Sect.
The core of Yunmeng Sect is composed of the children of the four major Xiuzhen families, the Eastern Patriarch has no descendants, only four personal disciples, and the Xiuzhen families left by the four disciples are the Wang family, the Nangong family, the Shen family, and the Wu family.
The four major families have the closest relationship with the Yunmeng Sect, and the mansions of the four of them are also located in the Yunmeng Mountain Range, and the two are in a relationship of both prosperity and loss, and they must spare no effort to support the Yunmeng Sect. The four major families have a transcendent status in the Yunmeng Sect, and the heads of the previous dynasties are all from the four major families, which is already an unwritten rule of the Yunmeng Sect, and the people of the four major families account for nearly half of the sects.
In addition to the four major families, there are also several other families that are loyal to the Yunmeng Sect, the largest of which is the Duan family. The ancestor of the Duan family joined the Yunmeng Sect 1,500 years ago, and after the sitting, his descendants also fully supported the sect like the four major families, and the Duan family was second only to the four major families in the number of the sect, and the fly in the ointment was that no one in the Duan family had been able to advance to the Yuan Infant Stage for more than a thousand years, which greatly weakened the influence of the Duan family in the Yunmeng Sect, otherwise the four major families would have changed to the five major families long ago.
Among the three major sects of cultivation in Youzhou, the strength of King Kong Mountain is the strongest, there are two Yuanying Ancestor monks in charge, and the exercises practiced by the elite disciples in the door are mainly based on body alchemy, and the monks of this sect focus on refining the body, and practice to a high level, and can rely on the body to resist the magic weapon attack of the monks of the same level.
The strength of the Ten Thousand Beasts Village is secondary, and the monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Village have a miraculous skill, that is, they make all kinds of demon beasts fight for themselves. There is only one Early Yuan Infant Ancestor in the Ten Thousand Beast Village, but they have a fourth-order inheritance demon beast, the Purple Clear Split Wind Lion, whose combat power is equivalent to that of a human monk in the early Yuan Infant Stage.
The last in strength is the Jade Sword Gate, the monks of the Jade Sword Gate are majoring in flying sword arts, sword cultivation is a special existence among the monks, known for its strong attack power, and the difficulty of cultivation is more difficult than that of ordinary monks. The Jade Sword Sect only has one ancestor in the early Yuan Infant stage, but with the strong combat power of the sword cultivator, the comprehensive strength will not be too weak compared to those two.
Of course, Wang Ziyan would not explain these situations to the registered disciples, and of course did not mention anything about the current predicament faced by the sect and some sensitive content within the sect. After all, these disciples are only registered disciples, and whether they can join the sect in the end is a matter of words, and they don't need to know these things.
Yunmeng Sect has three Yuan Infant Ancestors in charge, and there are six senior brothers of the same generation as the three Ancestors, all of whom are cultivators of the Great Perfection in the late stage of Jindan, and all of them are doing the last game in the Death Retreat. If you can't advance to the Yuan Infant Stage, these people's lifespan will also come to an end within one or twenty years.
Among the second-generation disciples, there are more than 40 Jindan stage monks and more than 100 spirit seed stage monks. Except for Wang Ziyan, a genius of the earth spirit root, the three generations of disciples are approaching the Great Perfection of the Spirit Seed Period, and most of them are still trapped in the middle or early stage of the Spirit Seed.
Now the sect of the cultivation realm adopts the method of ranking the generations based on strength, completely referring to the cultivation realm, and advancing to the Yuan infant stage is a generation of disciples, sect elders, and has many privileges. If you advance to the Jindan stage, you will be a second-generation disciple, if you are a third-generation disciple in the spirit seed stage, and if you are a fourth-generation disciple in the spirit introduction period, the level is clear and clear at a glance.
At this point, the Yunmeng Sect is a bit different, the Eastern Patriarch believes that he only uses his strength to judge his dignity and inferiority, and does not talk about etiquette and beasts, so he does not follow the unified ranking method of the cultivation realm.
Disciples in the Yunmeng Sect's Spirit Initiation Period are not considered formal disciples, and only those who have advanced to the Spirit Seed Stage are considered to be officially initiated. Disciples who have advanced to the spiritual seed stage will accept the selection of Jindan stage monks in the sect, and after formal apprenticeship, they will be judged according to the seniority of your master. If you are fortunate enough to be selected as a disciple by an older generation of Jindan monks, then your rank will naturally rise. However, this situation will basically not happen, and the first generation of Jindan period monks are seizing all the time to impact the Yuan Infant Period, how can they have time to teach apprentices. The advantage of this method of ranking seniority is that once you give birth to the spirit seed and officially enter the door, your seniority will be determined, and you will not change your name to Uncle Shi the next time you meet because one of your senior brothers has advanced to the Jindan stage, which is also embarrassing to think about.
Although the Yunmeng Sect is inferior to the three factions in terms of the number of disciples, fortunately, it is far ahead in terms of quality, and it can still control the situation in Youzhou for the time being.
After introducing these situations, Wang Ziyan began to teach the first layer of the foundation building exercise "Cloud Dream Spiritual Channeling Gong".
After teaching the exercises, he taught a small spell of inner vision. The so-called internal vision technique is that the monk observes his own **, the situation of the meridians with his divine sense. This spell allows the monk to understand his physical state, especially when he is cultivating, he can observe the operation of the aura in his meridians in real time, which is a simple and practical spell.
After Wang Ziyan finished teaching the exercises, straightened her long hair, and said seriously: "Senior brothers, you are all mortals who have not cultivated, and there are many dirt in your meridians, which will block the operation of the aura, so the first thing you have to do is not to guide the aura to complete the exercises of the week, but to open up your blocked meridians first, and remove the dirt in the meridians, which is the first step in cultivating the soul and washing the veins." The process of inducing the soul and washing the pulse is very painful, so everyone should take it step by step and not rush forward. The meridians of the human body are the most delicate, and once damaged, it will take a long time to cultivate, and more time will be wasted, but the gains outweigh the losses. If you have a severe pain that you can't resist, don't force it, but immediately disperse the aura. Rest for a while and wait for the meridians to return to normal before trying again. This is done repeatedly until the aura can run through the meridians unhindered for a week, and then it is considered complete. ”
