The Tiannan cultivation world has been passed down for countless years. There are seven major sects, plus several alien forces that are not weaker than the seven major sects.
Li Yang had said before that there was an old spiritual beast in Luosha Valley that was suspected to be quasi-fifth-level, or had already reached the fifth level.
Similarly, other sects may not be without hidden strength.
The forces in the middle circle want to attack the immortal cultivation world in the outer circle. These sects with high-level cultivators in charge are the biggest trouble. If they are not careful, they may not be able to get any meat and even break their teeth.
Since you don't want to fight, we have no choice but to talk.
For a moment, Shen Lian thought of the rent collectors in the secular world. The gentry paid back the full amount, and the common people split the rent 30% to 70%.
However, the rent collected in the secular world is what is collected here: life.
Although Zhou Changqing's words were vague, Shen Lian still understood them. In the Tiannan Continent, not all forces are qualified to negotiate with the forces in the middle circle.
The only forces that can negotiate are the seven major sects, which together account for only a dozen or so.
As for why Zhou Changqing came to garrison outside Tiannan, it was mainly because they failed to reach an agreement. Not all the sects on the Tiannan Continent are spineless wimps.
The current situation is one of blockade and coercion, forcing the top forces on the Tiannan Continent to submit.
No matter how powerful a sect is, it will be doomed sooner or later if it has no resources. Shen Lian has witnessed the circulation of fourth-level resources within Tiannan with his own eyes.
In general, the external forces are very strong, but they dare not press the Tiannan Continent's immortal cultivation world too hard, lest they suffer heavy losses.
"Junior brother advanced to the Nascent Soul stage at the perfect time. If it had been a hundred years later, the Tiannan Continent might have been in chaos."
Zhou Changqing thought for a moment and said, "Although you and I are Nascent Soul cultivators, we still cannot decide many things. If you do not want to see your homeland covered in dust, you can return to the sect to practice in seclusion."
Shen Lian's face looked a little ugly. After all, the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World was where he started his career. He had just reached the Nascent Soul stage and before he could even warm up, his home was going to be gone.
The monks are really like locusts.
…
The flying boat turned into a stream of light and rushed into the vast void.
"Brother, Junior Brother Wang is very wary. You and I have said so much, but it is still unknown whether he can truly submit to my Yuxuan Sect."
When Shen Lian entered the inner room of the flying boat to stabilize his state, in the quiet room shrouded by the fourth-level restriction, Liu Qingqing hesitated for a while and spoke with a slightly serious tone.
Although they wanted to guide Shen Lian into the sect, they were ultimately sent by external forces to blockade the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World. If the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World was destroyed in the future, it would not be an exaggeration to call them accomplices and minions.
"Brother, how about this? Let Junior Brother Wang stay and gather the good seedlings of Tiannan Cultivation World. This can also be regarded as leaving some incense for Tiannan Cultivation World. We can also take this opportunity to see Junior Brother's character."
Zhou Changqing nodded to Liu Qingqing's suggestion.
"That's fine. We can't be careless about worshipping the ancestral hall. It was a bit abrupt for me to invite this person to join the sect before."
A cultivator with feelings is always better than a heartless one. If he really ignores the extinction of all living beings in his hometown without any commotion, his Yuxuan Sect would not dare to accept him.
If there really is a problem, it would be easy to deal with a cultivator who has just advanced to the early Nascent Soul stage.
"I know that you can't bear it, and you think it's not easy for a cultivator to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Fortunately, the other cultivators were attracted to the Five Elements Palace this time, leaving you and me here to guard. Otherwise, the strange phenomenon in the Thunder Tower would really be hidden."
Zhou Changqing nodded, "This is Junior Brother Wang's luck. I hope the good luck will continue."
…
“It’s such a mess.”
Inside the quiet room of the flying boat, Shen Lian recalled the words of his senior brothers and sisters, and the wrinkles on his brows became more and more serious.
According to what the two said, there are not just one force at the level of the Xuanyou clan that wants to divide up the Tiannan cultivation world, but three.
The ancestors who had been rumored to have reached the state of god transformation in the Tiannan cultivation world in the past were not rare in the cultivation world in the middle area. Moreover, in recent years, it had become easier for cultivators to advance to the state of god transformation than it had been ten thousand years ago.
As for other continents, they were divided up by other forces.
As for how it was distributed, Zhou Changqing didn't know. Without a God of Transformation in charge, they could not participate in this distribution. They were just minions.
In addition, destroying a world of immortals does not mean destroying the whole world right away. Instead, that would lead to a counterattack from all sides. In a word, the fortress is always breached from within, and the sects within Tiannan would be the first to provoke a large-scale fight among the sects.
With lackeys, it is easier for external forces to enter Tiannan.
“These two are pretty good.”
After quietly withdrawing his spiritual thoughts, Shen Lian nodded.
I was still thinking about where to go after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, but I didn’t expect to join a sect directly.
It's the first time they meet, and both parties' understanding is still superficial. It's hard to develop a sense of identity without really going through some ups and downs.
However, he didn't care and had no intention of occupying someone else's nest. It was nice to have a temporary place to stay and calm down.
After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, his spells and magical powers are still at the Golden Core level and need time to settle.
As for what to do next, let’s wait and see. The resources in Tiannan’s immortal world have been blocked, so it should be easier to collect some outside Tiannan.
"If you are sincere, we will not be fake."
…
After the flying boat crossed for three days, a chaotic meteorite area appeared in front of it.
"The Xuanyou Clan has arranged a total of three sects to station forces in the Western Continent. This is their garrison base."
Zhou Changqing pointed to the group of meteorites ahead that occasionally emitted dark light.
"The three sects are all like my Yuxuan Sect, none of them have a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage."
At this point, a hint of hidden resentment flashed in Zhou Changqing's eyes. Although it was concealed well, it was still caught by Shen Lian.
"Fortunately, these people are not here now, otherwise I would not dare to bring my junior brother back. I have already sent a message to the sect, and my junior brother also has my sect's identity jade card... Considering the temperament of the elder of the Xuanyou clan, I guess he won't care."
…
"Senior brother has a stubborn personality and can't stand the behavior of those two families, so we were left behind to guard them. The other two families followed Elder Xuan Miao to the Tianyuan Xiuxian Realm, where the Five Elements Immortal Palace descended."
Liu Qingqing echoed.
The three immortal cultivation worlds preparing to divide up Tiannan are Xuanyou, Luming and Tianling. The immortal cultivation environments in these three immortal cultivation worlds are very different from that of Tiannan.
Within these three worlds of cultivating immortals, there are absolute dominant forces, with the Huashen overlord being the only one in power. The remaining sects can only rely on the Huashen overlord and be used as his minions.
When the Seven Color Sect of the Luming Immortal Cultivation World was at its peak, its headquarters was located in one of the eighteen core immortal cultivation worlds.
Later, they were beaten and fled in a panic, all the way to the Luming Immortal Cultivation World. The remaining forces still became the dominant force in the Luming Immortal Cultivation World.
The Cangqing clan, the overlord of the Tianling immortal world, is the newest clan to achieve divine transformation in ten thousand years. All other races on the entire Tianling continent are slaves of the Cangqing clan.
Of course, the human race is the largest in number.
The Xuanyou clan blocked the western part of Tiannan, Luming was in charge of the northern part, and Tianling blocked the eastern part.
As for the southern part of Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Realm, there is no need to block it. The void in the south is weak, and even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be in danger of getting trapped if they go in.
To put it simply, today's world of immortal cultivation can be divided into three parts: the core eighteen, the middle three hundred, and the border hunting grounds.
Not all of the three hundred immortal cultivation realms in the middle area have the power to reach the God Transformation level. A large number of them do not have the strength to go out hunting.
It is somewhat difficult for this force to penetrate Tiannan, but it is enough to block the void outside the western part of Tiannan.
Unfortunately, there is no unity within the Tiannan immortal cultivation community, otherwise the Xuanyou force could be completely wiped out.
Now Xuan Miao has taken a few other people to the Five Elements Immortal Palace, leaving only senior brother and sister Zhou Changqing to work.
"Junior brother, if you don't want to open a cave here, this meteorite area in the void stretches for more than 100,000 miles, you can find a place anywhere."
Just as Shen Lian was thinking about how to start his speech, Zhou Changqing took the lead and pointed to the vast empty area around him.
"Thank you for your understanding, brother."
Shen Lian clasped his fists towards the two of them, then turned into a stream of light and flew towards the darkness.
Liu Qingqing looked at Shen Lian's disappearing back, and glanced at Zhou Changqing again.
The meaning is obvious, see.
Zhou Changqing said with a smile: "Junior sister, please be patient. I have already made a decision. Junior brother Wang didn't take any spirit stones. If he really left, we wouldn't lose anything."
"Okay, I'll go back to the cave first."
Liu Qingqing waved her hand and turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the direction of the edge of the meteorite. She was unwilling to live in the stronghold set up by the Xuanyou clan.
Zhou Changqing let out a long sigh and disappeared among the meteorites.
This kind of blockade mission is very boring, but there is no way to get rid of it. The sect has hundreds of thousands of disciples and countless ordinary cultivators, all under the eyes of the Xuanyou clan. He understands the principle of meat in the tiger's mouth, but without strength, he can only bow down.
Just as Zhou Changqing said, this meteorite area is really vast, and traces of life can occasionally be seen on the broken stones.
The search lasted for two months.
In the southern area of the meteorite region, Shen Lian stood on a pointed stone and looked at the environment within a hundred miles ahead.
The seemingly chaotic rubble was actually moving according to some kind of five-element law. However, in his eyes, this way of moving the spiritual restraint was not complete. It should be that the spiritual restraint had problems due to being in use for too long.
The next moment, Shen Lian turned into a stream of light and rushed in.
…
Five years later.
In the dim void, meteorites float.
In the chaotic pile of meteorites, in a cave shrouded in mysterious light, Shen Lian slowly stretched his body.
"Nascent Soul is Nascent Soul. Even the degree of perception of the world has been deepened."
As Shen Lian stood up and moved, the spiritual energy wandering in the cave was affected. This was the magic of the Nascent Soul, which began to initially affect the situation of heaven and earth.
After five years of precipitation, everything after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage has become his own foundation, and his realm has also been completely stabilized.
The strength of the divine consciousness also increased to 140,000 feet.
The strength of the divine consciousness at the early stage of Nascent Soul is 140,000 feet. If it were to be told to others, it would definitely shock a large number of cultivators.
The spiritual consciousness of a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage is sixty thousand feet.
The spiritual consciousness of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is ten thousand feet.
The spiritual consciousness of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage can reach a maximum of 200,000 feet.
After entering the Nascent Soul stage, Shen Lian's spiritual consciousness began to catch up with the great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.
In addition, with the improvement of the main body, the secondary soul also increased, and the strength of the divine consciousness reached 126,000 feet.
"Before, I was not strong enough, and the interior of Tiannan Continent was blocked, so I couldn't get many things. The talismans I made at the beginning didn't work for a long time."
"It would be best if I could make a suitable fourth-level talisman paper and make a natal talisman for myself, so that I can reuse it."
"My natal spiritual plant...sigh...I don't know if I can get it."
Shen Lian paced back and forth in the cave, thinking about how to improve his methods. After going out to Tiannan, he could figure out with his toes that the cultivators he would meet in the future would be from all over the world of immortal cultivation. No one knew what methods these people would have, so he had to be more careful.
In addition, most of the cultivators who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage have superior spiritual roots, and they may also have some special physical conditions, so we have to be on guard.
Thinking of his special physique, Shen Lian thought of his own five elements physique.
After the last battle at Tianzhao Mountain, and after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, it seemed that this series of emotional fluctuations caused the previously stuck enlightenment points to have a small outbreak in the past five years.
In five years, a total of 581 divine enlightenment points were obtained.
Including the previous balance, the current Divine Enlightenment points are 899.
"There are so many old monsters who have reached the state of spiritual enlightenment outside. I must at least save my life from the hands of the Yuanying Great Perfection."
After thinking it over again and again, Shen Lian temporarily set a goal for himself.
This time of seclusion, he has come to terms with things. He will continue with what the Butian Sect wanted to do before, but the main focus should still be on collecting resources and improving his realm.
Those with low realms have no choice. Tiannan becoming a hunting ground is a living example.
If there was a great cultivator in the late stage of transformation of the spirit in Tiannan, people like Xuanyou and Tianling would have to come over and kneel down and say "I was wrong".
Unfortunately, great cultivators in the late stage of Spirit Transformation are extremely rare in the entire world of immortal cultivation, and these old fellows are most likely the source of unrest in the world of immortal cultivation today.
…
Xuanyou station.
A stream of light came from afar, and the forbidden spiritual light within the meteorite group became brighter.
A handsome young monk with pointed ears appeared in the stream of light. A black jade disk flew out of his hand, and a round gap suddenly appeared in the spiritual barrier.
Zhou Changqing, who was stationed in the spiritual forbidden area, noticed it first and flew out of the cave.
"Fellow Daoist Lan Mo, what are you doing?"
Zhou Changqing was surprised when he saw the figure in front of him looking weak and exhausted.
Lan Mo waved his hand and said, "Elder Xuan Miao has ordered that you should be careful during this period. He may not be able to come back in a short time. Don't fall into the trap of the cultivators on the Tiannan Continent."
Zhou Changqing nodded. There were also ruthless cultivators on the Tiannan Continent.
"What happened?"
“Alas, this time I followed Master Xuan Miao to the Five Elements Immortal Palace’s descending place, the Tianyuan Immortal Cultivation Realm. On the way, I heard a rumor that a spiritual Nine Aperture Foundation Building Pill appeared.”
"Foundation Building Pill?" Zhou Changqing was stunned.
"Yes, the whole body is as black as ink, with nine orifices on the surface, and it is as spiritual as a human."
Lan Mo nodded solemnly and said with emotion: "I have practiced for thousands of years and thought I was knowledgeable, but this is the first time I have heard of a magic pill that is as intelligent as a human."
