Wu Yuan was instinctively wary and hostile towards the Jin Empire.
My father died in the battle at Hengshan Prefecture. It can be said that he died at the hands of the Jin Dynasty.
The Jin Empire was the number one enemy of the Hengyun Sect.
If Wu Yuan really joins the Hengyun Sect, there is a high probability that he will have a conflict with the Jin Empire in the near future.
After thinking about it.
Wu Yuan relaxed his brows again: "That's right. The first generation of Jin Emperor was a master on the Heavenly Ranking. His bloodline genes are not bad. This Jin Cang can be selected as the 'Emperor of Jin'. If he doesn't have tyrannical strength, how can he conquer the billions of people under his command?"
Subjects?"
This is the world of warriors!
One person's force can defeat thousands of enemies.
As in some biographical novels in previous lives, the kind of powerless emperor who could make great masters kneel down and salute with just one word could only be the imagination of scholars!
Governing the country and ensuring peace and stability indeed requires specialized talents.
But in the real world of Middle-earth, regardless of the dynasties or sects, smart people can only serve as assistants, and long-term peace and stability cannot be achieved by "strategy" and "ruling the country" alone.
There must be strong force.
Especially if the royal family of a country wants to truly rule a country, it must first possess extremely powerful force.
Like Emperor Jin, he established the Jin Empire based on his own military strength, which was the best in the world. As for strategy? It was only secondary.
"If I am a member of the Hengyun Sect and take the imperial examination, no matter how good I am, the highest I can become is the governor." Wu Yuan thought to himself: "Want to become the palace master? Become the sect master? Impossible!"
Whether you are the master of the Five Halls or the sect master, you must first be a top master.
And for county guards and governors from various places, if their own strength is not that strong, the sect will arrange corresponding experts to protect them closely to prevent them from being assassinated.
If your safety is not guaranteed, what does it matter no matter how smart you are? You cannot be surrounded and protected by millions of troops every day. A strong martial artist will always have a chance to assassinate you.
"This Jin Emperor is very powerful and has many masters under his command. Unless a master from the Heavenly Ranking takes action, who can assassinate him?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
Being strong yourself is fundamental.
Wu Yuan continued to scroll down.
The name of a grandmaster on the list came to mind, and he kept writing it down, gaining some understanding of the grandmasters on the list.
These Grandmasters on the Earth Ranking are all of considerable background. They are either leaders of large sects or pillars of the country's holy sect. A very few of them are indifferent to fame and fortune, but they are also world-famous 'heroes'.
Only one among tens of millions of people can hope to be born among the Earth Ranking Grandmasters.
But how vast is the world? Each state is thousands of miles wide and has a population of hundreds of millions, so there are naturally a lot of masters in the land list.
Therefore, the masters published in "Tianxia Dibang" only have brief introductions and descriptions of one or two famous battles.
As for more detailed information?
Then you have to buy it separately from Qunxinglou.
"Huh?" Wu Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, his fingers stopped, and he looked carefully at the brief description of the thirty-three places in the book.
"Bu Yu, number 33 on the Earth Ranking, is the supreme elder of the Hengyun Sect in Jiangzhou. He controls the first-class divine weapon 'Yuelan Sword'. He is ninety-six years old. The world often calls him 'Grandmaster Yu'..."
"When Grandmaster Bu Yu was sixty-eight years old, he fought against the two great protector kings of the Guiyu Sect in Dalong Mansion, Jiangzhou, and ended up with one enemy and two draws. Only one month later, the former protector of the Guiyu Sect was defeated.
Xian' passed away due to severe injuries..."
"At the age of eighty-eight, in Hengshan Mansion in Jiangzhou, he first defeated the great master of the Jin Dynasty, 'Chen Luo', and then fought fiercely with the Jin Empire's 'Dongwang Jinjiu' for more than a hundred battles without defeat. In the end, the Jin Dynasty occupied Hengshan Mansion and then stopped.
, Hengyun Sect was preserved..."
Buyu!
The Supreme Elder of Hengyun Sect.
"It turns out that the Supreme Master Yu mentioned in ancient times is named Bu Yu?" Wu Yuan thought to himself: "Ranked thirty-three? But looking at the record alone, I'm afraid they are all expected to enter the top twenty or even higher."
The Eastern King of the Jin Empire, Jin Jiu, ranked 12th on the Earth Ranking, was the top powerhouse of the Jin royal family.
To be able to fight with him and be undefeated for more than a hundred years, one can imagine Bu Yu's strength.
"I'm afraid, it has something to do with age." Wu Yuan's mind flashed through the ages of the dozens of top masters on the Earth Ranking.
Generally, they are forty to seventy years old.
There are only two people over ninety years old, including Bu Yu!
The Earth Bang Grandmaster has reached the limit of the human body. He has exquisite control over his body, almost like a celestial being, and can repair most injuries independently.
Ordinary people become gray-haired and hobbled when they are seventy or eighty years old.
Grandmasters, even at a hundred years old can still look like they are fifty years old, and their body functions remain at their peak. It is very easy for them to live a hundred, thirty or forty years without illness or disaster.
"It's just." Wu Yuan sighed secretly: "No matter how strong your strength is, no matter how superb your martial arts skills are, your body is still mortal and cannot withstand the erosion of time."
The physical condition of a sixty-year-old grandmaster is almost the same as when he was thirty.
But even if a ninety-year-old grandmaster retains his peak combat power, his combat durability and recovery speed after injury will be greatly reduced.
Boxing is afraid of young people. This is an unbreakable truth since ancient times.
Naturally, the older you get, the ranking on the local rankings will gradually decline.
Wu Yuan continued to read
He read and wrote down the information of each Dibang Grandmaster one by one, and also kept the relevant deeds in mind.
It gave him a clearer understanding of the entire world.
"All the masters on the Earth Ranking have reached the limit of their human body. However, the innate differences in body genes and training conditions since childhood will eventually lead to obvious differences in physical fitness." Wu Yuan thought: "And martial arts skills, combat secrets, magic weapons
,Age will affect the performance of strength."
Like Jin Emperor ‘Jin Cang’.
He has had the best external training conditions since he was a child, and his foundation must be the strongest. Coupled with the most suitable first-grade divine weapons, his strength is naturally terrifying.
"The "Tianxia Earth Ranking" records a total of 231 masters of the Earth Ranking." Wu Yuan closed the last page of the book.
In the vast and vast world of Middle-earth, are there really only so many masters?
uncertain!
There must be some strong people who appear to be top experts, but secretly have breakthroughs.
The top major forces may also be hiding something.
But if Wu Yuan thought about it carefully, even if there were master hermits, there wouldn't be many of them.
After all, Qunxing Tower is spread all over the world, and the ranking will be re-determined every year. Unless there is a master who has been hiding, otherwise he will naturally be listed on the list as long as he is exposed publicly.
"I wonder, how many masters on the Heavenly Ranking are there in this vast world?" Wu Yuan felt a trace of curiosity in his heart.
Nowhere to ask.
Just like what was said at the beginning of "Tianxia Dibang", the masters of the Tianxian list are too different from the world, just like the difference between immortals and mortals. Their deeds are not known to everyone, how can they find out?
Besides.
There are many masters on the Earth Ranking. One reason is that there is a limit to longevity, and you will die of old age at the most, 150 or 60 years old.
A top player in the sky?
According to ancient legends, King Wu lived for five hundred years!
Therefore, there is no way to confirm the life or death of the masters on the Heavenly Ranking. It is very easy for them to live for two to three hundred years.
According to rumors, the first ‘Emperor Jin’ of the Jin Empire is still alive.
But there's no way to prove it.
"Don't worry, when I have the strength of the Earth Ranking, I will naturally know it slowly." Wu Yuan was very calm in his heart.
Once you have the strength, you will naturally be able to get in touch with the corresponding circles.
If you don't have the strength, what if you know it? It can only be used as a talking point, and it will only cause confusion.
"The major events in the world have little to do with me now, but I still have to pay attention to the affairs in Jiangzhou." Wu Yuan picked up the second book and periodical.
"Jiangzhou Distribution List" is a supplement to the Distribution List. It only records the strong ones who have been in the Jiangzhou area all year round.
Twelve in total!
Compared with the previous "Tianxia Dibang", this "Jiangzhou Dibang" is much thinner, with only more than ten pages.
"The descriptions of these masters on the Earth Ranking are relatively clear. There are brief biographies and descriptions of their achievements in becoming famous." Wu Yuan watched with interest.
"Bu Yu, the first grandmaster in Jiangzhou."
"Chu Ping, the second grandmaster of Jiangzhou, whose name is 'King of Baijiang', is a distant branch of the royal family of the Chujiang Empire..."
"Chang Dong, the third grandmaster in Jiangzhou, named 'Old Man of Yuanhu'..."
"Chen Luo, the fourth grandmaster of Jiangzhou, belongs to the Jin Empire..."
…
"Huan Jian, the ninth master of Jiangzhou, the supreme elder of Hengyun Sect..."
...Wu Yuan wrote down the information of the twelve masters in Jiangzhou one by one.
I have a preliminary understanding of the entire Jiangzhou situation.
"The Jin Empire now occupies the four prefectures of Jiangzhou, and three masters are stationed there all year round." Wu Yuan was quite surprised.
According to what he has learned over the years, the Jin Empire has been expanding for two hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it can be said to be attacking from all sides.
Nanzhou, Minzhou, Mozhou, Yuanzhou, Jiangzhou... all the states bordering the Jin Empire, except for the remote Xizhou and Huangzhou, were all ignited by war.
The desire to annex the world is known to everyone on the road.
Even though there are enemies on all sides and the war continues all year round, in Jiangzhou, which is extremely far away from its core area, the Jin Empire still sends three grand masters all year round.
You can imagine how amazing the overall strength of the Jin Empire was.
"Hengyun Sect, the situation is a bit dangerous." Wu Yuan made a judgment.
The only two Grandmasters on the Earth Ranking, Grandmaster Huanjian is younger, but he is also eighty-nine years old.
At the moment, Grandmaster Buyu's powerful strength can still intimidate him for a while.
Ten more years? What about twenty years?
"I believe that the senior officials of Hengyun Sect have their own considerations on these matters. They will consider it before I join the sect." Wu Yuan said secretly.
If his mother and sister were in danger, Wu Yuan might fight to the death.
As for the Hengyun Sect? Wu Yuan has no intention of fighting to the death due to his loyalty. If he is really in danger of death, he will leave without hesitation.
""Jiangzhou People's List"?" Wu Yuan picked up the third book.
The list of people is the statistics of the masters below the list of places.
The Land Ranking has a main publication and a supplement, but the People's Ranking only has rankings of each state and does not have a unified ranking for the entire world.
In fact, it is unrealistic to rank people in the entire world because there are too many people and the area is too vast.
Besides.
Different from the Dibang, the Dibang originated from the tradition of King Wu and has been passed down for thousands of years. The so-called "People's List" and "Genius List" are Qunxinglou's own innovations.
"Including the top five hundred masters below Jiangzhou Grandmaster?" Wu Yuan looked through the "Jiangzhou People's List".
The introduction of each martial arts master is very simple.
For example: "Zhang Changsheng, ranked thirty-nine, forty-one years old, top expert, affiliated to Hengyun Sect's "Junwu Hall"..."
In just over a hundred words, I will only briefly describe a battle to become famous.
However, thinking about the number of powerful people to be recorded, Wu Yuan can also understand. If everyone is introduced in detail, how many words will this book contain?
Pages turned quickly.
"Huh? Gao Yu is among them?" Wu Yuan suddenly stopped, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes, and looked carefully.
