Kun Shi Continent, Zhaoyuan.
After the battle between the human path tribes and the other species, there were no more major disputes. Time flowed like water, day and night, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.
The human path tribes of today were very different from the past.
The leader of the Jade tribe, Yao Ganyin, had led the tribes to defeat the other species and take back Zhaoyuan of Qiong Mountain. Using his prestige and the soldiers under his command, he forcefully changed the system of elected elders. Before he died, he passed the position of tribe to his son, Yu Kang, and officially changed the name of the tribe to "Zhao" to show his legitimacy.
By now, the sixth generation Zhao King, Zhu Chao, had ascended the throne. The power of the tribe was at its peak, but under the appearance of prosperity, there were many hidden dangers.
In the Tai Chang Palace, the attendant, Yin Chang, said loudly, "Our king has just ascended the throne, so we should apply for titles again. This way, we can calm the hearts of the tribes. Also, the Gu tribe and the Ying tribe are large tribes outside of Qiong Mountain. They should also be printed and sent out to appease them."
Zhu Chao was only twelve years old. He was a thin and weak youth with fair skin and delicate features. Three days ago, with the help of his mother and tribe members, he had ousted his elder brother and ascended to the position of ruler. Because he had been pushed onto the throne in a hurry, he was not familiar with the affairs of Zhao. At this time, he asked curiously, "Are there still Zhao tribes of our people outside of Qiong Mountain?"
Yin Chang explained, "Yes."
Zhu Chao asked in confusion, "These two tribes are all Zhao people, not those half humans of the other species?"
Yin Chang replied patiently, "The ancestors of the Gu tribe and the Zhao people are of the same lineage. A thousand years ago, the pass of Qiong Mountain was occupied by the other species. The ancestors of the Gu tribe were blocked outside. With the guidance of the Great Shaman, they went to the southwest to hide, and have lived on Da Ling Mountain until now."
"As for the Ying tribe, they are also from the same tribe that was stranded outside. It is said that the people of this tribe are martial artists and can kill great demons. After the Zhao people took back Zhaoyuan and opened up the road, they came to offer their names and pay tribute. The late king gave them flags and armor and allowed them to join the Zhao alliance."
Zhu Chao thought for a moment and said, "Bring me the map."
As soon as the order was given, six bare-chested slaves carried a large polished bronze board up and set it up in front of them. Yin Chang took a step forward and pointed out the location of Qiong Mountain. Then, his finger moved to the southwest. After passing through several rivers and mountain ranges, he placed a heavy emphasis on a tree. "This is the location of the Drumming tribe. Rumor has it that the entire tribe lives on the Crown Tree."
He then moved upwards towards the northwest. A moment later, he pointed at a platform diagram. "This is the Ying Tribe. This tribe resides on the Ye Mountain Platform that rises from the ground."
Zhu Chao turned his head to look at the location of Qiong Mountain on the map, then looked at the positions of the two tribes. Judging the distance, he exclaimed, "These two tribes are able to establish themselves on the wasteland so far away?"
He couldn't help but reveal a yearning expression as he said, "I wonder if I can tour around those two tribes."
The moment Yin Chang heard that, he was greatly alarmed and said, "Absolutely not! My king is the ruler of the people, how can he leave Zhaoyuan so easily? Even if your subject agrees, my subject will not agree! "Towards the end, his face flushed red. His voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the hall.
Zhu Chao also jumped in fright when he heard such a roar. He shrunk his body and said, "I heard. You don't have to do this."
Yin Chang sighed in relief and bowed. He said, "Your Majesty, it is good that you accept my advice."
Zhu Chao felt a bit wronged. He didn't have such thoughts at first and was just saying it casually. After a while, he carefully asked, "Is there anything else that I need to do with these two paintings??"
Yin Chang's expression was solemn as he said, "Your Majesty still needs to confer a land. This is also very important." He pointed to the north of Qiong Mountain. "This is where the Sea of Stars is located. Ever since the foreign species left, there have been demons attacking our people from the sea every year. Fortunately, there are tribes guarding along the coast. They are not enough to harm the hinterland of our Zhao tribe. Every generation of kings who ascended the throne would write a letter to confer titles and bestow wealth and goods.
My king should appease this tribe. "Zhu Chao nodded repeatedly and said," I also know about this. I heard that everyone has a golden worm with them. I wonder what the golden worm looks like. If I can find it … "Under Yin Chang's stern gaze, his voice became softer and softer. In the end, he said weakly," Then we will do as Your Majesty says. "
Yin Chang's expression finally relaxed as he said, "After these are settled, there is another important matter. When the ruler ascends the throne, he should gather the leaders of the tribes and worship the heaven and earth and the four world creators. After that, he should also kill animals to sacrifice to the gods of our people." His expression became abnormally solemn. "Your Majesty, when you worship, you must use sincerity and must not be disrespectful. Otherwise, there will be a disaster within our Zhao tribe."
Zhu Chao's face paled as he listened and said, "I, I will remember."
Ye Shan Platform.
Yuan Zhen was currently sitting in a cave, cultivating.
For a hundred years, under his efforts, the Ying tribe grew from a small settlement of a thousand people to a large tribe with three hundred thousand people.
Originally, he wanted to teach them Dao techniques but he gave up on the idea later on. Because in the past hundred years, there was not a single person who could catch his attention. In the end, he only took in one disciple who followed him. Moreover, he was the one who took the initiative to raise the aptitude of the disciple. Otherwise, he would not even be able to pass the test of opening the meridians.
At this moment, his heart trembled as he felt a consciousness entering his mind. How could he not know that it was the two Daoist lords who were passing on the message? He quickly took a look and after a while, he let out a breath and pondered, "Initially, I wanted to prepare for a few more days. However, if it is as the two Daoist lords predicted, then this opportunity cannot be missed."
He first sent out a talisman. Then, he stood up and turned to the back cave. There stood a jade statue of a young girl. She had starry eyes and red lips. Her jet-black hair hung down to her shoulders. Her head was lowered and she looked shy.
This girl was personally carved by him using countless precious materials. She could be said to be extraordinarily beautiful. Women in the mortal world could not compare to her.
He walked forward and raised his hand to touch the center of her brows. With a faint sigh, the young girl actually came back to life. She bowed and said, "Ding Ling greets teacher."
Yuan Zhen grunted, "Tidy up first. I will send you to King Zhao's side. You should know what to do."
Ding Ling lowered her head and said, "Disciple understands."
Yuanzhen said indifferently, "Although you are now forever young and will not show any signs of aging until the end of your life, your lifespan in this world is still only eighty years. You won't get any more. When the time comes, you will immediately turn back into a jade statue."
Ding Ling's delicate body trembled slightly. Fear appeared in her eyes.
Yuan Zhen continued, "If you are successful in doing things, it is not difficult for teacher to help you live a long life."
Ding Ling bowed deeply, "I dare not delay teacher's matter."
Yuan Zhen grunted and said, "Follow me." He turned around and walked out. Ding Ling followed behind him.
A disciple dressed in Daoist robes was standing outside the door. He cupped his fists and said, "Master, the diplomatic group and all the tributes have been prepared."
Yuan Zhen looked at Ding Ling and said, "You will go with them this time."
Ding Ling replied in a low voice. When the disciple saw her, he seemed to be stunned by her appearance. He immediately stood there in a daze, not knowing where he was. Ding Ling hurriedly lowered her head and tied a veil on her face.
The disciple Just Now came back to his senses and realized that he was inappropriate. He hurriedly coughed to cover it up.
However, Yuan Zhen watched coldly from the side and said, "Go."
The disciple's expression turned serious. He bowed to Ding Ling and said in a gentle voice, "Lady, please follow me."
Ding Ling nodded gently and followed him down the mountain.
Seeing the two of them leave, Yuan Zhen's eyes flickered and he thought to himself, "Let's see how useful this chess piece will be."
In Jade Luo Heaven, Fu Qingming suddenly felt a rush of impulse. He made a slight calculation and knew that fate had arrived. Now, he could send cultivators down to the lower realms.
When the Yuhuan Heavens entered Bushu Heaven, they could avoid the demons and otherworldly demons in the Void Primordial Sea. However, with Zhou Huanyuan Jade entering the world, the cultivators of the heavens would have to experience this calamity due to the entanglement of karma. Even if they hid in the Yuhuan Heavens now, they would still have to experience this in the future. Instead, it would accumulate and become impossible to escape.
After making up his mind, he sent down a decree. It said that the cultivators of the Yuhuan Heavens could already move into the Kun Shi Continent to cultivate.
Green Jade Palace's Elder Peng quickly received the edict and invited Guan Longzhao and Feng Lan over. He showed the edict to the two of them and said, "What do the two elders think of this?"
Guan Longzhao said, "Palace Lord, do you mean for me to enter the world to impart cultivation?"
Feng Lan disagreed and said, "Imparting cultivation is not something that can be done in a short period of time. The people of the Kun Shi Continent are still in an alliance of tribes. Most of the people under them don't have enough food to fill their stomachs and clothes to cover their bodies. How many people can enter our sect?"
Once mortals entered Dao, whether they succeeded or not, they were usually separated from the secular world. The people of the tribes lived a hard life and were illiterate. How could they cultivate?
Perhaps the upper echelons of the tribes who had accumulated enough private property could do so. However, cultivation was a big wave washing away the sand. There were very few of them. In the end, there were probably not many who could truly cultivate. This could not be called imparting cultivation.
Elder Peng Daoren said, "Then what does Elder Feng think?"
Feng Lan said, "In my opinion, since Palace Lord wants to go to the continent to cultivate, then we should follow this plan. There is no need to think too much about other things. There are countless treasures and endless spiritual opportunities on the continent. It is a good place for us to cultivate. We can first occupy the Blessed Abode to prevent it from being taken over by those demons and evil monsters."
Elder Peng stroked his beard and thought for a while. He said, "Then let's do this first."
Not long after the three of them decided, the decree was sent down from the Green Jade Palace.
Some cultivators who were quick-witted heard that it was the Lord's words and guessed that there might be some mystery here. Thus, they left the Yuhuan Heavens and went to the Kun Shi Continent. However, most of them saw that the demons and monsters on the continent were too powerful. They were afraid that their lives would be in danger if they went there. Thus, they would rather stay in their own worlds.
Xuanyuan Heaven, Qinghuan Palace.
Zhang Yan suddenly sensed it. He also had the intention to calculate. He immediately ordered someone to summon Cen Xiao and said, "You have cultivated by my side for many years and now have the cultivation of Core Formation. You have the ability to protect yourself. You can go to the continent to train. However, I expect that there will be a change in the human sects in the lower realm. If there is a person who says that he has lost his soul and comes to you to be his disciple, you can accept him."
Cen Xiao said, "Disciple obeys."
Zhang Yan waved his sleeve and a spiritual light fell into the acupuncture point between his eyebrows. He said, "Take this talisman to protect yourself. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can use this to escape."
Cen Xiao bowed again and bid farewell to his master. He left the Qinghuan Palace and went to the lower realm.
