"The sixteenth-generation emperor personally took action to suppress it. In addition, many elders could only barely stop the spread of the disaster. Billions of people of the dynasty migrated. In the end, they had to seek help to suppress the disaster, but they still could not completely suppress it.
Perhaps only the Great Emperor can purify the stubborn power of disaster."
"But since the White Emperor a hundred thousand years ago, no new emperor has been born on the continent."
"After that disaster, even though 70,000 years have passed, Xingyun County has never recovered its former prosperity. Nearly half of the area can even be said to be barren, and the remaining area is also filled with...
The faint aura of disaster cannot be dissipated. Although it will hardly cause disasters, it can still disturb people's minds. There are many people who are possessed by evil spirits. Even people with a firm mind will mostly change their situation due to the mixed spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Very slowly."
After listening to Chen Yucheng's explanation, Zhou Xing finally understood Chen Ye's intention. Even a genius who is rare in a hundred years would probably be ignored by everyone in such a place, but it is difficult for you to refute a current emperor.
Lord, after all, Xingyun County has produced some amazingly talented people in its history. It can be said that he did it to sharpen Zhou Xing.
"If you regret accepting the appointment hastily, I will go to Grandpa Huang and I will not let you go to Xingyun County even if there is a quarrel." Chen Yucheng said sincerely.
"Why should I regret it?" Zhou Xing grinned, "I want to see how terrifying the power of disaster in Xingyun County is. Maybe the harsh environment there will make me grow faster. When I come back from Xingyun County
At this time, it is some people who should regret it!"
The red lips were slightly opened, but no words were spoken. Chen Yucheng looked at the high-spirited and ambitious Zhou Xing in front of him, and unknowingly developed some inexplicable interest.
On the other hand, Chen Wenle shouted in disbelief: "Are you stupid? If you stay in the Imperial City, with the best resources and your talent, you will be able to break through to the Transcendent Realm within two years, and maybe be promoted to the Celestial Realm.
She is younger than my sister, so she went to such a ghost place because her brain was damaged!"
"I've made up my mind. There's no need to persuade me anymore. You might as well help me think carefully about what items I need to bring and some precautions." Zhou Xing said firmly.
Chen Yucheng nodded and said: "Yes, the entire Xingyun County has been infected by the misfortune over time. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, elixirs, spiritual crystals, etc. are all polluted. It is detrimental to use them for cultivation. If you
There is no way to eliminate the interference of the disaster energy when we get there, so bring more spiritual crystal pills and use the spirit gathering formation to maintain a certain cultivation speed."
"It seems that the 200,000 top-quality spiritual crystals from the Longque Chamber of Commerce will come in handy!" Zhou Xing touched his space ring, and the crystal card of the Longque Chamber of Commerce was placed inside.
Three days later, after being reminded by some people, Zhou Xing left the imperial city for Xingyun County. He was accompanied by a strong man who was deeply trusted by Chen Yucheng, second only to the old woman who followed Chen Yucheng every day, Chen Wenle.
He was also a person who couldn't rest, and didn't pursue the speed of cultivation, so he went on the road together.
In the bamboo house in the mulberry forest of the palace, Chen Mofan holds the white piece and Chen Yucheng holds the black piece. They have been playing chess for a long time.
"Yucheng, you are distracted." Where Chen Mofan's index finger pointed, a white chess piece fell and captured the black dragon. The outcome was determined.
"I lost."
"You are not like this on weekdays. Your chess skills are even inferior to mine, but today you lost three games in a row," Chen Mofan said calmly, "It must be because of those two boys going to Xingyun County."
Chen Yucheng nodded.
"You have already sent Chu Hen to them, so what else do you have to worry about? No one can completely ignore the rules, otherwise I won't need to take action, and your father, as the current emperor, will never tolerate it." Chen
Mo Fan said sincerely, "You are now in the bottleneck period of transcending to the celestial realm. You must put aside all distracting thoughts and be as calm as water... Be prepared and go to the forbidden area in seven days. It doesn't matter if you fail the first time.
After accumulating experience, of course, it would be best to successfully condense heaven-level celestial phenomena in one fell swoop."
"Follow grandpa's teachings."
"Go ahead."
Chen Yucheng respectfully exited the bamboo house, his eyes shining with determination...
Zhou Xing, Chen Wenle, and Chu Hen arrived at Xingyun County and went straight to the Sheriff's Mansion in Xingyun City. The former Sheriff had already received the transfer order and was waiting to hand over the task.
The former governor was also a member of the royal family, but he had no inclination towards becoming the crown prince. He was a neutral person. He also served as the governor of Xingyun County for a long time. Although he was a feudal official, he was considered by many to be far away from power.
The center was not taken seriously, and so was he. He was quite unhappy about staying in a chaotic place like Xingyun County.
When Zhou Xing saw him, he saw that his temples were slightly frosted, his face looked a little old, but the joy in his eyes was beyond words.
The former county governor happily took Zhou Xing's hand and said, "What a hero. Young boy Zhou was awarded the position of county governor by the emperor at a young age. With such high hopes, he will definitely become famous in the Kyushu Continent one day!"
Zhou Xing smiled casually, already immune to these polite words. He didn't believe that the person in front of him didn't know the hidden truth.
The former county guard continued: "Little friend Zhou, I have been the county guard in Xingyun County for more than ten years. I don't know much about the situation here, but I have to remind you of some things so that you will not be confused when you first come here.
A black eye and something went wrong."
Zhou Xing's eyes lit up, he was a pretty good guy, so he raised his hands and said, "Please give me some advice."
"You must have already understood the formation of Xingyun County and some historical issues before coming here, so I won't go into details." The former county guard took out a huge map and placed it in mid-air, pointed at it and said, "This
It is a detailed map of Starfall County, about 30,000 miles from south to south, and about 25,000 miles from east to west. The red area is the core area of Starfall County, with a radius of about 3,000 miles, and there are still stubborn disasters left in it.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not enter, otherwise you may be infected by the power of disaster, and there are many "evil people" and "evil beasts" who have been assimilated by the power of disaster. Historically,
After the 16th generation emperor suppressed the outbreak of disaster, there were still "evil people" and "evil beasts" causing harm, forming a "tide of disaster" that hit the entire Xingyun County, but even the most recent one was in the 98th
It’s been years since, so there’s no need to worry too much.”
"The yellow area outside the red area, if the former is included, is about ten thousand miles in radius. Although this area does not have the real power of disaster, the energy of disaster between heaven and earth is very strong. If
If you are too weak and stay there for many years, there is a risk of infection. Even if you are strong, it will be difficult to keep your mind from being eroded, and you will often become irritable, irritable, or even cruel and murderous."
"The white area is close to normal. Low-level monks and even ordinary people can live normally. Our county governor's mansion is located in this area. However, because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is relatively mixed, it is not a good place for cultivation."
"It's okay if it's just that, but the places where meteorites fall are always accompanied by huge treasures, and this is especially true for us in Xingyun County. Because the veins formed by meteorites are extremely valuable, they attract countless adventurers and mercenaries. After all,
There is no shortage of people in the world who dare to risk their lives, and such people are generally very unruly."
"In addition, due to the special nature of this place, many desperadoes who have committed serious crimes and are even wanted by the dynasty hide in the edges of the yellow zone to the red zone. In order to survive, they can drill into the core regardless of the threat of disaster.
The area leaves people with nothing to do.”
"To be honest, when I first took office, a group of thieves were so bold that they broke into the county governor's house to steal. I shot three people to death on the spot. The identity of the group has not yet been identified, and a few of them are still at large. Can you tell me
Be careful."
As he said that, he glanced at Chu Hen, who was standing upright next to him. He could feel that the opponent's strength was even higher than his own, which made him very angry. If he hadn't stayed in this ghost place for more than ten years, he would have entered the hospital long ago.
Holy!
"Thank you for letting me know." Zhou Xing said from the bottom of his heart.
The former Sheriff had packed up everything a long time ago, made a clear explanation and left in a hurry.
There is also an old man in the county governor's house who is a strong man in the Dharmakaya realm. His name is Guan He. He is a native of Xingyun County and has a very high prestige. He was promoted to the Dharmakaya realm with the favor of the royal family and his life was extended for hundreds of years. Therefore, he has always been loyal. The previous governors
He took care of daily affairs while in office.
"Mr. Guan, please inform the city lords of each major city and ask all the city lords to come to Starfall City to attend the meeting in seven days. I heard that some people are not very obedient." Zhou Xing said to Guan He.
Guan He's wrinkled face showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "There are seven first-class cities alone, and each of them has a strong Dharmakaya state in charge. They have all been operating in the local area for at least hundreds of years, and their influence is deeply rooted.
, they are intertwined, and it is not that the county guards of the past dynasties have wanted to deal with them, but there is nothing they can do. At most, they can only attack them and hurt them a little bit."
"If we want to completely break their rule over the local area, the only way is for the central dynasty to send strong men to cleanse the place. But this will inevitably cause great turmoil. After all, this is the case for the entire dynasty, but it is even more serious in Xingyun County.
Forget it, cleaning a family or a county will definitely make other people feel sad. This is simply destroying the Great Wall, so no emperor has ever ordered this to be done. As long as enough resources are transported to the imperial city and fresh blood is born,
This will keep the dynasty strong."
Zhou Xing frowned. Guan He was worthy of being an old man who had been reused by successive county governors for many years. He was very thorough in seeing the problems, which also poured cold water on him who had just arrived and wanted to light a fire.
"I'll think about this later," Zhou Xing said. "Daily affairs will still be handled by you as before. I won't get involved too much. I want to get familiar with this place first."
"Yes." Guan He stepped back and thought to himself: I hope this new little county guard can do what he said and not mess around.
He said that he wanted to deal with the deep-rooted local forces in Xingyun County. It was just a whim that Zhou Xing just came to Xingyun County. There was nothing more important to him than his own cultivation, so after letting Guan He leave, he immediately
Go to the dedicated training room in the governor's mansion.
This was built many years ago by the county governor at a huge cost.
The training room is shrouded in an advanced spirit-gathering formation. The energy and aura required for operation are provided by top-quality spiritual crystals. Coupled with the construction of extremely precious chalcedony, and engraved with a closed formation, it can block the penetration of the power of disaster.
But it cannot be completely blocked.
Zhou Xing entered it and sat cross-legged on the stone bed, running his exercises and absorbing the surrounding aura to practice.
The spiritual energy here is much less dense than the training room in the palace. The most important thing is that it is not pure enough. Zhou Xing is keenly aware that there is some kind of dark atmosphere mixed with it, which can trigger people's negative emotions and make him involuntarily
He could not help but think of the feeling of being looked down upon by Qing Xianshi, the prince of the Qingyun Dynasty, in Kongsang City, and treated as an ant who could take away his life at will.
However, he suppressed these negative emotions in an instant. His character was firm enough, and the aura of disaster that penetrated into the training room was already very weak.
The spiritual energy was absorbed into the body, circulated in the meridians for a week and then converged towards the Dantian. At this time, black lightning suddenly burst out from the Dantian, and wisps of black thunder rushed out and pounced on the incoming spiritual energy.
"Hey..."
There seemed to be a subtle sound in his body, and Zhou Xing clearly felt that the aura of disaster mixed in his spiritual power had been completely eliminated! Although the spiritual power he had cultivated through hard work had shrunk as a result, it was obvious that this more pure spiritual power now
is what he needs.
Zhou Xing was overjoyed. The Nine-Level Immortal-Destroying Thunder Scripture was so powerful. The thunder he cultivated could not only completely suppress the power of the ninth-level thunder, but could also restrain the aura of disaster. He just didn't know what kind of disaster he might encounter.
What will happen to the power?
In Xingyun County, the deeply troubled monks have been looking for ways to deal with it. Chalcedony is one of the treasures. It can be carried with you. There are Jing'er pills that can be taken out at any time, but they are all valuable - a
A catty of chalcedony is worth hundreds of top-quality spiritual crystals, and Jing'er Dan is at least a sixth-grade elixir, which is even more expensive. It is common for one Jing'er Dan to be sold for a thousand top-quality spiritual crystals.
The normal income of the Xingyun County Sheriff's Mansion for a year is a little more than 100,000 yuan when converted into top-quality spiritual crystals, and 100,000 yuan of it must be turned over to the royal family. This is already the lowest standard among the thirteen counties of the Chenxu Dynasty. Those prosperous
The large county turns over far more than 100,000 top-quality spiritual crystals every year.
Even in the training room, the influence of the gas of disaster cannot be completely isolated. No one wants to let the gas of disaster accumulate in the body and become a huge hidden danger. Therefore, those powerful people who control a lot of wealth will take it every once in a while.
Pure Erdan.
Now that Zhou Xing has no such worries, he can save a lot of resources. With the 200,000 top-quality spiritual crystals from the Longque Chamber of Commerce and the 30% control of the income promised by Chen Ye, he can freely collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures to assist in his cultivation.
After staying in the training room for a long time, Zhou Xingxing came out and learned that Chen Wenle couldn't sit still in the governor's mansion and had run out to play.
Zhou Xing came to Guan He and asked, "Where is Chen Wenle now?"
Everything in Starfall City is under the control of the Sheriff's Mansion, and Chen Wenle is the prince, so even though Chen Wenle left the Sheriff's Mansion alone, Guan He has sent people to secretly protect him at all times.
Guan He replied: "His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince is currently at Xingshifang."
