Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Luoyun Mountain is the name of the lofty mountain that Zhou Yang saw from afar earlier.

The Luoyun Mountain range stretches for more than 20,000 miles from north to south, and there are two sects in the mountain range with monks at the Jindan stage, namely the Luoyun Sect and the Danyun Sect.

These two sects respectively occupy half of the Luoyun Mountain Range, and the land thousands of miles away from the Luoyun Mountain Range to the extreme west. Of course, in name, the Rock Wasteland also belongs to their territory.

It's just that the Rock Wasteland is too desolate, and Luoyunzong and Danyunzong have no interest in managing it, so they let a small sect that is so dilapidated that the inheritance is not complete, "Giant Spirit Gate", occupy the only third-order spiritual mountain here , to help them guard the land.

Regardless of whether it is the Luoyun Sect, the Pill Cloud Sect, or the Giant Spirit Sect, they are all affiliated forces of the Backlight Alliance.

The Reverse Light Alliance was established thousands of years ago. At that time, it was mainly formed by some forces in the Far West to resist the Great Bright Immortal Palace. Later, some people saw that they and the Great Bright Immortal Palace could fight against each other without losing, and attracted more and more people. Forces joined it to fight against the hegemony of the Great Bright Asgard.

Under the pressure of the Reverse Light Alliance, various forces within the Great Bright Immortal Palace had to temporarily stop their internal fighting, and restrain some past domineering styles, and unite all vassal forces to fight against the attack of the Reverse Light Alliance.

Now, for thousands of years, the two major forces have fought countless battles, each of which has its own winners and losers, and no one can really destroy the other, and they have been in a stalemate.

Today, the two major forces have not fought large-scale wars for nearly two hundred years. They are all local conflicts on the border, and the cultivation bases of the participants are all controlled below the Golden Core stage.

And now, the power structure in the Backlight League has also undergone considerable changes.

At the top of the current Backlight League, there are six top sects, namely Taixuan Sword Sect, Tiangang Sect, Shuiyuegu Sect, Haoyang Sect, Lihuo Sect, and Jinshen Douzhan Sect.

Each of these six top sects has at least two Nascent Soul cultivators sitting in command, and each has a sixth-order large formation to guard the mountain gate.

The position of leader of the Reverse Light League can only be contested by the monks from these six top sects, while the other five will automatically get the position of vice-chairman of the alliance.

And under the six top sects, there are thirty-six medium sects and families, each sect and family has an elder seat, who can participate in major decision-making within the Backlight League.

If a family like the Xiang Zhou family wants to join the Backlight League, they must have a middle-level sect as an introducer to join the League.

And under those thirty-six middle-level sects and families, there are the largest and most basic cultivating families and dilapidated small sects in the Backlight League.

The Luoyun Sect in the Luoyun Mountain Range is one of the thirty-six medium sects in the Backlight League.

And the "Giant Spirit Gate" in the Rock Wasteland was one of the most glorious times in the past, but now it has become the lowest power in the Backlight League.

As for another sect in the Luoyun Mountains, Dan Yunzong, which has monks at the Jindan Stage, because it has not been a long time since joining the Backlight League, and they have not made enough credit to make them one of the thirty-six middle schools. The right to speak is still not as great as Luoyunzong, and he does not have the authority to introduce other forces to join the Reverse Light Alliance.

Li Hong's suggestion to Zhou Yang is that Zhou Yang will lead all the monks of the Zhou family to fly over the Luoyun Mountains from the remote place of the Luoyun Mountains, and then find a fairy city behind it to stop and train all the Zhou family to practice Qi. The monks and the foundation-building monks broke up and entered the fairy city. They will be casual cultivators for a period of time, and then look for opportunities to establish a family after familiarizing themselves with the situation.

Zhou Yang accepted his suggestion, and successfully led everyone through the Luoyun Mountain Range, and entered a mortal country named Yu Country behind it.

Zhou Yang had already obtained the map of Yu Kingdom from the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Giant Spirit Sect.

According to the information recorded on the map, in the entire territory of Yu State, including the two sects in the Luoyun Mountains, there are six sects with Jindan stage monks, and there are also eight Zifu families, four of which are only Zifu. The small and declining sect where the mansion monks sit in town, there is also a loose cultivator Jindan monk and two Zifu casual cultivators who practice in the mountains.

These forces are all registered in the Reverse Light League, and they have divided up all the spiritual mountains above the fourth level and important mineral veins in Yu State.

Small sects and small families like the Giant Spirit Sect, where only foundation-building monks are in charge, can only survive if they attach to a certain sect or family.

Taking Giant Spirit Sect as an example, as vassals of Luoyunzong, they not only have to pay tribute to Luoyunzong once every ten years, but also accept Luoyunzong's conscripts to send monks to the Participate in the war.

As Li Hong said, the cultivators recruited by these vassal forces to the front line to participate in the war have basically become cannon fodder to test the enemy's strength, and it can be said that none of the cultivators who can survive and return to the sect safely survive.

Even so, the monks of the vassal forces could not refuse to recruit or evade recruitment.

The forces that refuse to recruit will be directly destroyed by breaking the Lingshan Mountain.

The monks who evade recruitment will be hunted and killed by the entire Reverse Light Alliance, and they will never die!

Therefore, in the Giant Spirit Sect, every time Luo Yunzong recruited people to participate in the war, they could only use heavy rewards and lottery to recruit the monks in the door.

The monks who voluntarily replace the sect to enlist can get various precious treasures rewarded by the sect, and they can also get rewards from the Reverse Light Alliance for their meritorious service on the battlefield, which even includes foundation building for low-level and middle-level monks, which can break through the big realm. Dan and "Purple Heart Chalcedony".

The lottery is to draw lots from all the qualified monks in the entire sect when there are not enough voluntary people.

In Zhou Yang's view, the way of doing things of the Reverse Light League is exactly the same as those lords in the Western Middle Ages in his previous life.

The big lord divides the small lord's land and provides protection, and the small lord needs to pay tribute and send soldiers to fight for the big lord.

In this way, as long as there is no such kind of war of subjugation, no matter how the battle is fought, the position of the big lord will be difficult to shake. Only the small and medium lords will decline due to continuous blood loss and can no longer afford the tribute and conscripted soldiers required for paying tribute. perish.

The Giant Spirit Gate, which used to be the Thirty-Six Middle Gate, lost its position as an elder because of a great battle thousands of years ago, when a master of Jindan in the gate was beheaded by monks from the Great Bright Immortal Palace.

Zhou Yang is not disgusted with the special survival mode of the Reverse Light League. The world of cultivating immortals is a law of the jungle. Although small and medium-sized forces will inevitably become pawns and cannon fodder for the big forces in the war, as long as they make contributions in the war, they can also rely on their contributions. Quickly ascend to the top and strengthen your own power.

It's like the thirty-six middle gates in the Backlight League, as long as one family goes down, another one will immediately take over.

Even a small declining sect like the Giant Spirit Sect, once they can no longer provide combatable monks for the Reverse Light Alliance, will be deprived of Lingshan by the Luoyun Sect they are attached to, and replaced by another family or sect.

The sect monks and family monks here are under much greater pressure than those in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, but their chances of being promoted are also much greater.

In the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, it is basically impossible for those monks in the Qi training stage of the Foundation Establishment family to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills.

But in the Backlight Alliance, as long as the monks are willing to go to the front line to participate in the battle and make contributions, they can easily exchange their merits for treasures such as the Foundation Establishment Pill, "Purple Heart Chalcedony", and even the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill". Can be exchanged.

In short, for Zhou Yang, if the Backlight Alliance can provide him with a fourth-order spiritual mountain as the foundation of his family, he doesn't mind letting the Zhou family monks go to the battlefield to fight, and even he himself is willing to go to the battlefield to fight.

But it's very difficult, the fourth-order Lingshan is not Chinese cabbage, it can be given easily, even if it is the six Jindan sects in Yu State where he is now, it is not easy to give away a fourth-order Lingshan.

Zhou Yang has no good solution now, he can only follow what Li Hong said, first mix into the circle of monks in Yu State, and wait for the opportunity to inquire about the news before making a decision.

For the sake of safety, he took the Zhou family monks to Cangyuan Immortal City, a well-known immortal city in Yu State.

Cangyuan Immortal City was built by Cangyuan Sanren, the only Jindan period monk in the territory of Yu Kingdom. Among the few Jindan stage monks, they can also be ranked in the forefront.

This Cangyuan Immortal City was established in a very short period of time, less than three hundred years, but because of the strong appeal of Cangyuan Sanren in the casual practice of Yu State, it has become the most prosperous fairy city in Yu State.

As we all know, casual cultivators are a group of people who don't like to be restrained and controlled, and Cangyuan Xiancheng has done a very satisfactory job in this regard.

In addition to not using force in the fairy city, any monk can freely enter and leave the Cangyuan fairy city, and there is no need to pay the entry fee or create an identity file.

What Zhou Yang values ​​is the relaxed atmosphere here.

No matter how they try to cover up these foreign monks, they will always be a little different from the local monks at the beginning, and the relaxed atmosphere in Cangyuan Immortal City makes them not need to be questioned by anyone, and they can gradually integrate into the contact with the local monks. in.

"More than three thousand miles ahead is the Cangyuan Immortal City. You can only walk the next road by yourself. Remember, you must not conflict with others on the road, and do not communicate with others. After arriving in the city, don't go around everywhere. Walk around, find Xianzhan to live in and wait for arrangements."

In a mountain forest thousands of miles away from Cangyuan Immortal City, Zhou Yang descended the skyboat and released all the monks of the Zhou family inside to give instructions.

The large flying boat magic weapon like the Kongxinglou boat is too conspicuous, and Zhou Yang dare not drive this magic weapon too close to the Cangyuan Immortal City, lest it be discovered by some high-ranking monks and cause unnecessary trouble.

And according to the news he had learned, the territory of Yu State was generally considered peaceful, only a few thousand miles away, even if the Zhou family monks in the qi training period traveled with their feet, it would only take a few days to complete the journey.

And even if something happened on the road, Zhou Guangxiang and the four Foundation Establishment cultivators who were escorting behind could pretend to be passing cultivators to help in time.
