Chapter Twenty-Three: The City of the Sea of Hope
From Yin Chengdao's "memory", we know that martial arts cultivation is generally divided into five realms, quenching the body, divine transformation, chong qi, through the Xuan and heavenly realms.
Tongxuan Realm is Wuzun, Zou Shi and the Golden Venerable Mo Wentian of the Holy Spirit Sect are both strong people in the Wuzun Realm, and above Wuzun, it is the Heaven and Man Realm whose strength has reached the unity of heaven and man, and is called the Martial Saint.
The Martial Saint of the Holy Rank powerhouse is already the most extreme existence in this world, but according to legend, there is another realm above the Five Realms, which is called the Divine Power Realm. It is said that when you cultivate to this realm, you will have the supernatural power of a god, and you will be able to shatter the void and soar to the heavenly realm.
Therefore, the warriors of this realm are called "martial gods".
The "Martial God" has been a legend for thousands of years, but a hundred years ago, the founding emperor of the Great Yan Empire, Li Xiong, broke this legend and became the first and genuine martial god in the record.
No wonder such a character would become the belief in the hearts of the people of the Great Yan Empire!
It was also because of the existence of Li Xiong, a martial god believed by the people, that the Holy Spirit Sect could not develop in the Great Yan Empire and had to continue to stay in the Great Spirit Empire.
Holy Aunt Red Leaf obviously wanted to bring the teachings and beliefs of the God of Light to the Great Yan Empire.
Will this be successful?
Lin Shengsheng felt very suspenseful!
............
The "Bright" landed safely.
It is one of the top ten cities of the Great Yan Empire, and it is also the first of the four major ports of the Great Yan Emperor - Wanghai City.
Because it is a seaside city, Wanghai City has merchants who trade on the sea road every day, so ships come and go, and the business is extremely prosperous, and the population is also large, according to Zhao Qinglong, more than 800,000.
It may be because of the relatively open relationship of the Great Yan Empire, coupled with the fact that in the past hundred years, people from the Xiling Continent have often crossed the ocean and traveled thousands of miles to the Dongling Continent for trade or travel, and the people of the Great Yan Empire have long been familiar with the Xiling people with different hair colors, the extremely handsome elf clan and the strange-looking monster human race. Therefore, after Lin Shengsheng and Shenggu and his party got off the boat and went ashore, no one showed a surprised look, at most, some lustful men swallowed saliva at the veiled and red-clothed Shenggu Hongye and Lan Nasha and Zhao Xinxin's beautiful faces and hot figures.
Zhao Qinglong and Li Yi relied on the convenience of their identities to negotiate with the officials of Wanghai City stationed at the port, and after handing over fifty gold coins that were common in the entire Dongling Continent, they obtained permission to enter the territory of the Great Yan Empire, which was so smooth that Lin Shengsheng found it unbelievable.
After docking the "Guangming" in the docking area of the port, Lin Shengsheng and Shenggu and his party decided to find an inn to eat and live in, and then take a good stroll to see the prosperity of Wanghai City.
After half a month of turbulence on the sea, everyone misses the life on land and the stable bed.
There are many inns in Wanghai City, and most of them are full, and everyone finally found a restaurant called "Rihuanju" that can see that there are still free tables to sit down.
The food here is good, although the ingredients of the food are not as good as the exotic beasts that Lin Shengsheng hunted on the island, but after being concocted by the skilled chef, it is so delicious that Lin Shengsheng almost bit his tongue.
However, the wine is a low-degree wine, although it has a sweet and greasy taste, and the taste is very good, but Lin Shengsheng feels that it is much worse than the wine that Yin Chengdao stored in the space bag.
It's a pity that the wine in the space bag was drunk by Lin Shengsheng as early as when he was in the Misty Forest, and now he can only drink this kind of inferior wine.
In Yin Chengdao's "memory", the fine wine in the space bag was made in the hotel in the imperial capital of the Dawu Empire, and the price of a bottle exceeded ten gold coins, and it was still limited to loans, and people who were not able to afford it could not afford it.
Although there was no shortage of gold coins in Lin Shengsheng's space bag, it was impossible for him to spend ten gold coins to buy a bottle of wine.
As soon as they were halfway through eating, Lin Shengsheng and the others found that the street suddenly became lively, hundreds of people were bustling in one direction, and the diners who were originally eating in the restaurant also checked out and rushed out.
"What happened, where did they go?" asked Lanatha, puzzled.
Master Zou listened carefully for a while, and replied, "They went to the arena to watch the Shaoyan Sacred Martial Arts Tournament." ”
"Shaoyan Saint Martial Arts Tournament, what kind of event is this?" Lin Shengsheng asked curiously.
Zhao Qinglong explained the confusion for everyone: "This is the event set by Li Xiong, the founding emperor of the Great Yan Empire, after the founding of the Great Yan Empire, because of the martial god Li Xiong, the Great Yan Empire, the strength of the Great Yan Empire has jumped to the strongest in the Dongling Continent, and the martial arts are extremely strong, no one is unconvinced, and no one dares to disobey." However, Emperor Li Xiong was worried that he would one day shatter the void, and after going to the Heavenly Realm, the strength of the Great Yan Empire would be like a mirror, and it would be broken in one kill. In order to ensure that the strength of the Great Yan Empire would not be shattered with his departure, Emperor Li Xiong asked the empire to hold a Shaoyan Sacred Martial Tournament every three years, and personally set the rules and rewards for the Shaoyan Sacred Martial Tournament. Emperor Li Xiong hoped that the Shaoyan Sacred Martial Arts Tournament could revitalize the martial arts of the Great Yan Empire, so that every common person in the Great Yan Empire would pursue strength, and ensure that the force of the Great Yan Empire would always be controlled by other countries. ”
"Far-sighted!" Lin Shengsheng first praised Emperor Li Xiong, and then asked, "What are the rules and rewards for the Shaoyan Saint Martial Arts Competition?"
Zhao Qinglong replied: "Young means teenager, so the first rule of this ring competition is that only people under the age of 20 can participate. Secondly, this ring competition requires 128 large cities and small cities in the eighteen counties of the Great Yan Empire to be held, each city will first determine the top ten, and then go to the county capital to determine the top ten, and finally the top ten of the eighteen counties will gather in the imperial capital to play the general ring match, and the top ten will be decided in the imperial capital. The top 10 finishers in the Total Ring Tournament are rewarded and are eligible to enter the Royal Army of the Empire to do their duty. The top three rewards are not only the most generous, but they can also be summoned by the 'Flame Emperor' and allowed to make a request to the Flame Emperor. ”
"Make a request to the Flame Emperor, what if someone makes an excessive request?" Lin Shengsheng asked.
Zhao Qinglong said with a smile: "No one is so stupid, not to mention that the Flame Emperor has the right to refuse, if the request is too excessive, not only will it leave a bad impression in the Flame Emperor's heart, but the future of his life will be over, and maybe he will be punished by the Flame Emperor!"
"Doesn't that mean nothing?" but Meng Ben muttered in a low voice.
Zhao Qinglong's ears were extremely sensitive, and when he heard Meng Ben's words, he smiled again: "You can't say that, as long as the request is not excessive, the Flame Emperor will basically agree." For example, asking for the Flame Emperor's guidance on martial arts, or asking to enroll in the Imperial Sacred Martial Academy, or asking for a petty official or something, these will not be rejected by the Flame Emperor. What's more, even if you don't ask for it, the top three rewards are enough to stimulate everyone to compete. I remember that it seems that six years ago, in the Shaoyan Saint Martial Arts Ring Competition, the Flame Emperor took out a three-grade spirit weapon sword and a myelin-washing pill as a reward for the champion, which is something that many martial cultivators may not get in their lifetime, resulting in unprecedentedly fierce competition at that time, and even some big families and hidden sects secretly sent people to participate. ”
Three-grade spirit weapon sword?
Washing the myelin?
That's a great reward!
Lin Shengsheng sighed in his heart.
