After investigating the matter about the evil lord Fang Wei, Hua Shi finally started the next investigation under the prompt of the system, which was an investigation into the current forces of the entire Xuanqing Continent.
The distribution of power in Xuanqing Continent is much simpler than investigating Fang Wei's affairs. Fang Wei existed a thousand years ago. Even though the strong men with strength above the Sixth Realm have a lifespan of thousands of years, a thousand years is nothing to them, but such a long time is enough for the situation to change several times. After such a long time, no matter how brilliant the evil lord of the past was, he has disappeared from people's memory, leaving only some books recording his life and past.
But as for the current power of Xuanqing Continent and the famous strongmen in the entire continent, as long as you find someone who often listens to books on the street, he or she will be able to give a general idea.
Only a newcomer like Hua Shi, or a wandering ghost like Fang Wei who had been imprisoned for thousands of years, would be completely unaware of these things.
When Hua Shi asked this, the attendant standing in front of him was stunned for a moment before he smiled bitterly and said, "Fifth Young Master, it's fine that you don't like to practice on weekdays, but if the master knew that you didn't even know these, I'm afraid..."
Hua Shi said innocently, "So I'm here to ask you, right?"
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but the attendant didn't know how to answer. After a while, he continued, "The world today is divided into spiritual ways and evil ways. It is said that many years ago, the evil ways were extremely powerful, but with the death of the evil leader, the evil ways have now been completely suppressed by the spiritual ways. Of the three major evil sects in the past, only the Star Destroying Tower and a few disciples are left, while the Wind and Rain Palace and the Blood Crow Sect have completely disappeared."
Hua Shi had just heard the story about Fang Wei, the leader of the evil ways, not long ago. During the period when Fang Wei led the evil ways, these three major sects had once had an extremely prosperous past.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Such a big sect is gone just like that?"
The attendant shook his head and said, "I heard that after the leader of the evil sect fell into the abyss a thousand years ago, the spiritual sect and the evil sect had a great battle. Later, the evil sect was defeated. Fang Wei's two guardians of Fengyu Palace died and one was injured. The leader of the Star Destroying Tower was poisoned and died. The leader of the Blood Crow Sect took the initiative to surrender to the spiritual sect. Several elders are missing."
Hua Shi was stunned for a moment and murmured, "That's it?"
The entire evil path is so powerful and domineering in Fang Wei's story, how come it disappears so easily in the mouths of others?
Hua Shi couldn't figure it out, but the attendant showed a matter-of-fact look: "The evil ways are just bluffing, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
Hua Shi did not respond. He lowered his head and tapped the table, as if thinking about something, and was obviously dissatisfied with the ending of the story. As a traverser who had just come to this world, Hua Shi did not empathize with the people of the spiritual path, nor did he have any deep hatred for the evil path. On the contrary, from the story told by the servant not long ago, the difference between the evil and the spiritual paths was just a different standpoint. At most, the cultivation method of the righteous path was golden and looked more upright, while the evil path was full of evil and looked like a bad person.
Hua Shi didn't know if it was because he knew too little about the Xuanqing Continent, but when he heard about the demise of the three evil sects in Fang Wei's story, he still felt a little melancholy.
If the evil leader were still alive and knew the current situation of Xuanqing Continent, I wonder how he would feel.
He thought so and spoke it out in his mind unconsciously.
Fang Wei listened to his questions and couldn't help but fall into silence.
How do you feel?
Fang Wei couldn't explain what he was thinking about the most at the moment. During the thousand years when he was trapped in the underground abyss, he had already guessed the changes that would take place in the Xuanqing Continent and imagined what those people would encounter. But even though he had already made these guesses, when he actually heard the news, he found that he still couldn't calm down.
Fang Wei didn't say anything, but Hua Shi continued to ask curiously: "You only talked about the evil way, what about the spiritual way?"
"Fifth Young Master, you..." The attendant shook his head and smiled bitterly. He originally thought that Hua Shi was just not very clear about the power of the evil way, but he didn't expect that he really knew nothing. He was worried that his fifth young master would be scolded by the master in the future, so he hurriedly continued: "The spiritual way has five major sects and three major families. The five major sects are Hanxi Sect, Leihuoshan Villa, Baiyue Mountain, Shuiyun City, and Tianwen Mountain. The three major families are our Hua family, the Zhou family of Qicheng, and the Wen family on the banks of the Yanshui River."
Hua Shi held his chin and listened carefully. He knew that the family background of this body should be good, but he didn't expect it to be so good. There are so many schools and sects in the entire Xuanqing Continent. The Hua family is one of the major families and can be compared with the five major sects. Its strength must not be underestimated.
But since he already had this kind of wealth, what did he need the system for? He could just sit at home and eat and drink, safe and happy, and be a young master. Isn't that more comfortable than running around to complete tasks and level up?
Hua Shi did not hide his thoughts, and Fang Wei, who was connected with Hua Shi's soul, received his thoughts exactly as they were.
It has to be said that Hua Shi's thinking was very contagious. At that moment, even Fang Wei almost couldn't think of any reason to refute it.
But Hua Shi must not be allowed to continue thinking like this, Fang Wei quickly reminded him: "Being in a noble family does not mean you can live a peaceful life every day. Family struggles are far more cruel than the host thinks, and there are many cases of brothers killing each other. If the host wants to live safely in Xuanqing Continent, only having strength is the best guarantee."
Hua Shi suddenly realized, "System, you are right." He finally remembered, "I have four older brothers."
Seeing that Hua Shi attached great importance to the role of the system and gave up the idea of eating and drinking for free in the Hua family, Fang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and finally had the mind to think about the current situation in Xuanqing Continent. The five major sects and the three major families mentioned by the attendant just now were not much different from what Fang Wei remembered. The three major families had strong family backgrounds, so it was not surprising that they could survive a thousand years without turmoil. Among the five major sects, only the former Minghuo Peak was replaced by Tianwen Mountain, and the other sects were still there.
It seems that the spiritual path has indeed been stable over the years, and only the evil path has suffered considerable turmoil, leading to its current state of decline.
According to what the attendant said just now, his left and right protectors Wen Zhong and Bai Heng are both gone, Fengyu Palace is completely destroyed, and Jiang Tingwan, the owner of Cuixing Tower who was an evil heretic but always liked to wear white clothes and pretend to be serious, has also died of poisoning. It seems that there are quite a few people alive in the Blood Crow Sect, and it was completely within his expectations that the leader Ji Yan would surrender to Ling Dao. That old fox just wanted to stay alive, and how and where he lived was not his concern. Several elders are missing... Fang Wei recalled the two elders of the Blood Crow Sect and couldn't help but sigh.
I just hope those two are still alive.
I thought the attendant had said everything he needed to say, but he thought for a moment and added, "Oh, right, in the past few hundred years, in addition to the Spirit Path and the Evil Path, there are two other forces that have suddenly risen. Neither of these two forces belongs to any faction, but both are powerful. It's just that the leaders of these two forces seem to have old grudges against each other. In recent years, the Spirit Path's Spiritual Transformation Conference has invited them several times, but they have never appeared at the same time."
"Hmm?" Hua Shi smelled the scent of gossip and immediately became interested.
It was a pity that the attendant was not aware of the matter, so he just brushed it off with a few words and could not say anything else.
Fang Wei had some guesses about these two rising forces, but he didn't dare to make a definitive statement. He could only hope that in the future he would have a chance to ask Hua Shi to go and check it out.
At this point, Fang Wei already knew what he should know about the current situation in Xuanqing Continent. He pretended to be the system and said in an emotionless tone: "Congratulations to the host for completing the main task: understanding the distribution of forces in Xuanqing Continent and finding out about the evil master Fang Wei, and obtaining the task reward item "Qiguang Jue"."
After saying this, he used his mind to drive his spiritual consciousness and wove the skills of "Qi Guang Jue" into the system interface, condensing it into the shape of a book.
Hua Shi originally planned to have a few more words with the attendant, but he didn't expect the task to be completed so quickly. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "That's it?"
Fang Wei naturally ignored him. After being stunned for a moment, Hua Shi quickly called up the secret book "Qi Guang Jue" on the system interface, opened it and took a closer look. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Is this a method for cultivating the spiritual sea?"
Although the fifth young master of the Hua family is lazy and afraid of things, he is very easy to coax at times. Fang Wei couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips and responded: "The Qiguang Jue is an advanced skill that can help the host improve the strength of the spiritual sea as soon as possible and form a bond with the spiritual creature as soon as possible."
This was actually something Fang Wei had already planned. He had checked the fifth young master of the Hua family since his soul merged with his. Hua Shi was indeed the son of destiny of the Xuanqing Continent. His talent was enough to make any young man jealous, and many masters of various sects wanted to take him as their apprentice. However, due to some reasons, his talent was limited, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see his true talent. If he wanted Hua Shi to save him, he had to find a way to improve his strength first. Starting from the Spiritual Sea was the best choice.
However, Fang Wei had never expected that although he had already planned everything, the real difficulties were still waiting for him.
When Hua Shi first got the martial arts skills, his excitement and excitement were absolutely obvious. Most time travelers would probably have this kind of reaction after coming to a mysterious world and getting an opportunity. Even Fang Wei had the same reaction when he recalled when he first arrived.
But the real problem lies behind.
In order to make Hua Shi understand these skills, Fang Wei even added notes and diagrams when condensing the skills, to ensure that Hua Shi would never encounter obstacles in his practice.
Hua Shi was indeed able to understand these skills. In the first two days after he got the skills, Hua Shi would spend most of the day practicing them.
However, no matter how good one's talent or how good the secret book is, it is impossible to see results in a short period of time. After practicing for two days, Hua Shi gradually realized that practicing martial arts was a very boring process, and then the time he spent on practicing martial arts every day gradually decreased.
By the tenth day, Hua Shi had become addicted to listening to all kinds of stories about the martial arts world told by his guards and eating all kinds of Xuanqing Continent delicacies, and had completely forgotten about practicing and becoming stronger.
Fang Wei: “…”
He never imagined that one day, the "Qi Guang Jue" that had caused the entire Xuanqing Continent to fight for so hard would be less attractive to people than fabricated stories and delicacies.
