In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone onto the main hall. The room was already in chaos, with three men lying on the ground in a mess. A woman in red, with an enchanting figure, walked into the hall.

Woman's luck prompts: "Get up"

The three of them woke up instantly and looked at the woman

"Sanniang, you have made a breakthrough," Zhang Peng said happily.

Sanniang smiled and said, "Thanks to Fourth Brother's Red Refining Dragon."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Of course I should. By the way, I've lived in Niujia Village since I was a child and have never been far away. I know very little about this world. Can you tell me about it?"

Zhang Peng found a chair and sat down, then began to speak, "Let me explain. First, the place we're in is called the Dragon Kingdom, also known as the Dragon Continent. It's said there are other kingdoms, but I don't know if that's true. The three rulers of the Dragon Continent are the Dragon Kingdom Dynasty, the Demon Realm Holy City, and the Demon Realm.

There are seven major sects under the Dragon Kingdom Dynasty, namely Xuanhai Sect, Qingyun Sect, Tianxing Sect, Batian Sect, Yunu Mountain, Dan Pavilion, and Sword King Palace.

These seven major sects are renowned and reputable factions in the martial arts world, holding a grand annual disciple recruitment ceremony. Every three years, they host a grand, eye-catching Seven Sects Competition. This competition serves not only as a platform for each sect to showcase its strength and cultivate talent, but also as a prestigious event attracting countless young talents.

However, it's difficult to judge the strength of these seven major sects. For example, the mysterious Sword King Hall, despite having only a few dozen members, is rarely provoke by other sects. The reason for this is likely due to the Sword King Hall's unique swordsmanship heritage and unfathomable attainments in swordsmanship.

Beyond these seven great sects, legends also circulate about three ancient families. It's said these families rarely venture into the secular world, remaining secluded in the mountains, intent on cultivation. Yet, even so, their power remains so immense that even the great dynasties fear them.

Jiang Feng listened quietly to Song Yunfeng's description of the various factions, his mind swirling with thoughts. A strange feeling washed over him when he heard the name "Qingyun Sect." He didn't know why, but he felt the sect was inextricably linked to the Qingyun Jue he practiced. Jiang Feng secretly resolved that if he had the chance, he would get to the bottom of this matter.

At this time, Song Yunfeng changed the subject and began to talk about the mysterious Demon Realm: "Actually, this Demon Realm is not complicated at all. It is just a group of monsters led by families with the blood of ancient mythical beasts."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng asked in surprise, "That's it? Nothing else?"

Song Yunfeng smiled and replied, "There really aren't many. After all, the demon race usually never venture out of the demon realm, so our understanding of them is naturally very limited. Take the Red Refining Dragon, for example. If it were placed in the demon realm, it would only be considered an insignificant demon. Within the demon race, the most important thing is the inheritance of bloodline."

Sanniang nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, small gangs like ours, Huoyun Village, are numerous across this continent. Most of what we know is hearsay and may not be accurate."

As for the Demon Realm, we only know of three major sects: the Demon Blood Sect, the Demon Sky Sect, and the Phantom Demon Sect. Over the years, there has been friction between the Demon Realm and the seven sects of the Imperial Dynasty."

With the three people's explanation, Jiang Feng gained a more detailed understanding of the Dragon Continent. For example, all the major families and sects have their own large spiritual mines, which are also the foundation of cultivation.

At this time, Jiang Feng looked up at Song Yunfeng and asked, "Brother, have you ever heard of a cultivator with useless spiritual roots awakening his spiritual roots in the later stages?"

Song Yunfeng thought for a moment: "It's true! Fourth brother, you know that cultivators begin to condense spiritual roots when they reach the foundation-building stage. For example, I have fire spiritual roots, Sanniang has water spiritual roots, and your second brother has wood spiritual roots. There are also some gifted people who have multiple spiritual roots at the same time. Those with useless spiritual roots will basically never have the chance to break through to the Golden Core stage in their lifetime. But there was a person who enlightened the way with sword and broke through to the foundation-building stage. Unfortunately, he didn't open any spiritual roots! This person did not give up. He was obsessed with practicing sword and created his own sword technique "Liuguang Sword Art". When the sect recruited disciples, he beat the crowd and entered the sect. When he broke through the Golden Core stage, he opened the golden spiritual root..."

Jiang Feng listened intently and exclaimed, "He is indeed a remarkable man, with a resolute heart and determination, incomparable to ordinary people!"

Song Yunfeng also nodded and continued, "It's not over yet! Just when he broke through the Nascent Soul stage, he activated his water spirit root again. This person is none other than the Sword King Hall's Grand Elder, Sword Immortal Wang Fan."

Everyone gaped in disbelief. What had Sword Immortal Wang Fan experienced? How could he have such an opportunity?

Zhang Peng patted Jiang Feng on the shoulder and said, "Don't listen to my nonsense, I don't know where he heard that."

Song Yunfeng anxiously defended himself: "This is absolutely true. This is what my master told me."

Sanniang asked curiously, "Brother, do you have a master? Why have I never heard you mention it?"

Song Yunfeng didn't answer, but turned and looked out the window. He felt inexplicably sad: Master, are you okay?

At this moment, the old man in black suddenly walked in and said, "Leaders, the regiment sent someone to deliver a letter."

Song Yunfeng took the letter and read it, then handed it to Jiang Feng. Three days later, Liu Zhan, the leader of the Bing Zhan Corps, would come to Huoyun Village to discuss important matters.

Song Yunfeng looked at Sanniang and said, "Sanniang, what is the reason Liu Zhan came to our Huoyun Village?"

"I guess it has something to do with the Xuanhai Sect. My eldest brother is now in the late stage of foundation building, and my second brother and I are also in the middle stage of foundation building. Add to that our perverted fourth brother. The strength of Huoyun Village is far greater than before. My eldest brother has been concentrating on recuperating these days. We will know when Liu Zhan comes."

What Sanniang said makes sense. When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
