The Luoyun Mountain Range is the name of the lofty mountains that Zhou Yang saw from a distance before.
The Luoyun Mountain Range stretches for more than 20,000 miles from north to south. Within the mountain range, there are two sects with Jindan Stage monks, namely the Luoyun Sect and the Danyun Sect.
These two sects respectively occupy half of the Luoyun Mountains and the land stretching thousands of miles from the Luoyun Mountains to the extreme west. Of course, in name, the Rock Wasteland also belongs to their territory.
It's just that the Panshi Wasteland is too desolate, and the Luoyun Sect and Danyun Sect have no interest in managing it, so they let a small sect that is so dilapidated that even its inheritance is incomplete, the "Giant Spirit Sect", occupy the only third-level spiritual mountain here.
, help them guard this land.
Regardless of whether it is the Luoyun Sect, the Danyun Sect, or the Giant Spirit Sect, they are all forces belonging to the Niguang Alliance.
The Counter-Light Alliance was founded thousands of years ago. At that time, it was mainly formed by some forces in the far west to resist the Great Guangming Celestial Palace. Later, some people saw that they could really fight against the Great Guangming Celestial Palace without losing, and they attracted more and more people.
Forces join in to fight against the hegemonic rule of the Great Light Asgard.
Under the pressure of the Counter-Light Alliance, the various forces within the Great Light Immortal Palace had to temporarily stop their internal fighting, restrain some of their past domineering styles, and unite all the vassal forces to fight against the Attack of the Counter-Light Alliance.
Now for thousands of years, the two major forces have fought countless wars. Each has lost and won. No one can really destroy the other, and they have always been in a stalemate.
Nowadays, the two major forces have not fought a large-scale war for nearly two hundred years. They are all local conflicts on the border, and the cultivation level of the participants is controlled below the Golden Core stage.
As of now, the power structure within the Backlight Alliance has also undergone considerable changes.
The current Niguang Alliance has six top sects at the top, namely Taixuan Sword Sect, Tiangang Sect, Shuiyue Valley, Haoyang Sect, Lihuo Sect, and Jinshen Douzhan Sect.
Each of these six top sects has at least two Nascent Soul Stage monks in charge, and they all have sixth-level formations guarding the mountain gates.
The position of leader of the Counter-Light Alliance can only be competed by monks from these six top sects, while the other five will automatically obtain the position of deputy leader.
Under the six top sects, there are thirty-six medium-sized sects and families. Each sect and family has an elder seat and can participate in major decision-making within the Niguang Alliance.
If a family like the Xiang Zhou family wants to join the Backlight Alliance, they must have a medium-sized sect as an introducer to join the alliance.
And under the thirty-six middle-level sects and families, there are various cultivating families and small and run-down sects that are the largest and most basic in the Niguang Alliance.
The Luoyun Sect in the Luoyun Mountains is one of the thirty-six medium-sized sects in the Niguang Alliance.
The "Giant Spirit Gate" in the Rock Wasteland was one of them when it was most prosperous in the past, but now it has become the lowest-level force in the Anti-Light Alliance.
As for the Danyun Sect, another sect in the Luoyun Mountains with Golden Core Stage monks, because they have only joined the Niguang Alliance for a short time, they have not yet made enough contributions to rank among the thirty-six middle sects.
The right to speak is still not as large as that of Luoyun Sect, and it does not have the authority to introduce other forces to join the Anti-Light Alliance.
Li Hong's suggestion to Zhou Yang was that Zhou Yang should pilot the Dakong Tower Ship to lead all the Zhou family monks from a remote place in the Luoyun Mountains to fly over the Luoyun Mountains, and then find a fairy city behind it to stay and train all the Zhou family monks.
The monks and foundation-building monks broke into pieces and entered the fairy city. They first worked as casual cultivators for a period of time. After getting familiar with the situation, they then looked for opportunities to establish a family.
Zhou Yang accepted his suggestion and successfully led everyone through the Luoyun Mountains and into a mortal country behind it called the Yu Kingdom.
Zhou Yang had already obtained the map of Yu State from the foundation-building monk of the Giant Spirit Sect.
According to the information recorded on the map, in the entire Yu Kingdom, including the two sects in the Luoyun Mountains, there are six sects with Jindan monks, and there are eight Zifu families, four of which only have Zifu.
There is a small declining sect where the monks from the Mansion are in charge, and there are also a monk from the Zifu who practices in the mountains and a monk who practices Jindan.
These forces are all registered in the Niguang Alliance, and they have carved up all the spiritual mountains and important mineral veins above the fourth level in the Yu Kingdom.
Small sects and small families like Juling Sect, which only have foundation-building monks in charge, can only survive by relying on a certain sect or family.
Take the Giant Spirit Sect as an example. As a vassal of the Luoyun Sect, they not only have to pay tribute to the Luoyun Sect every ten years, but also accept the recruitment of Luoyun Sect and send monks there when the Niguang Alliance and the Great Light Immortal Palace are at war.
Participate in the war.
As Li Hong said, these monks who were recruited from the vassal forces and went to the front line to participate in the war basically became cannon fodder to test the enemy's strength. Only one monk who could survive safely and return to the sect could be said to be rare.
Even so, monks from vassal forces cannot refuse conscription or evade conscription.
The forces that refuse to be mobilized will be directly destroyed by Lingshan.
The monks who evade recruitment will be hunted and hunted by the entire Anti-Light Alliance to the death!
Therefore, in the Giant Spirit Sect, every time the Luoyun Sect recruits people to participate in the war, they can only use two methods: heavy financial rewards and drawing lots to get the monks in the sect to apply.
The monks who voluntarily apply for the sect can obtain various precious treasures as rewards from the sect, and can also receive rewards from the Anti-Light Alliance for their meritorious service on the battlefield, which even include foundation building for low-level monks and mid-level monks to break through to great realms.
Dan and "Purple Heart Chalcedony".
As for the drawing of lots, if there are not enough people who volunteer to go, lots will be drawn from all the qualified monks in the entire sect, and whoever is drawn will be the winner.
In Zhou Yang's opinion, the way the Counter-Light Alliance acted was exactly the same as the lords in the Western Middle Ages in his previous life.
The big lord entrusts the small lords with their lands and provides them with protection. The small lords need to pay tribute to the big lord and send soldiers to fight for them.
In this way, as long as it is not the kind of war that subjugates the country, no matter how the war is fought, the status of the big lords will be difficult to shake. Only the small and medium lords will decline due to continuous excessive blood loss and can no longer bear the tribute and enlisted soldiers required to pay tribute.
perish.
The Giant Spirit Sect, which used to be the thirty-sixth middle sect, fell into decline because in a great war a thousand years ago, the masters of the golden elixir in the sect were killed by the monks of the Great Light Immortal Palace, and finally lost their seats as elders.
Zhou Yang is not disgusted with the special survival mode of the Backlight Alliance. The world of immortality is naturally dominated by 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 use their contributions.
Quickly rise to the top and strengthen your own power.
Just like the thirty-six sects in the Backlight League, as long as one of them declines, another one will immediately take over.
Even small declining sects like the Juling Sect, once they can no longer provide combatable monks for the Niguang Alliance, will be deprived of their spiritual mountain by the Luoyun Sect they are attached to, and will be replaced by another family or sect.
It is true that the sect monks and family monks here are under much greater pressure than the sect monks and family monks in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World, but their chances of promotion are also much greater.
In the world of Immortal Cultivation in the Boundless Sand Sea, it is basically impossible for those Qi-training monks from the Foundation-Establishing Family to obtain the Foundation-Establishing Pill.
But in the Counterlight Alliance, as long as the monks are willing to go to the front lines and participate in the battle and make meritorious deeds, they can easily exchange their merits for foundation-building pills, treasures such as "Purple Heart Chalcedony", and even "Jade Liquid Golden Pill".
Can be redeemed.
In short, for Zhou Yang, if the Counterlight Alliance can provide him with a fourth-level spiritual mountain as the foundation of his family, he does not mind letting the Zhou family monks go to the battlefield to fight, and he is even willing to go to the battlefield to fight.
But this is difficult. The fourth-level spiritual mountain is not something that can be given easily. Even among the six Jindan sects in the Yu Kingdom where he is now, it is not easy to give away a fourth-level spiritual mountain.
Zhou Yang has no good solution now. He can only follow what Li Hong said and sneak into the circle of monks in the Yu Kingdom, waiting for opportunities to get information before making a decision.
For the sake of safety, he took the Zhou family monks to Cangyuan Immortal City, a well-known fairy city in the Yu Kingdom.
Cangyuan Immortal City was established by Cangyuan Sanren, the only Jindan-level monk in the Yu Kingdom. This Cangyuan Sanren is eight hundred years old and is a real eighth-level Jindan monk. His cultivation level is among the tenth level in the entire Yu Kingdom.
He can also be ranked among the top among several golden elixir stage monks.
This Cangyuan Immortal City was established for a short period of time, less than three hundred years, but due to the strong appeal of Cangyuan San people among the scattered cultivators in the Yu Kingdom, it became the most prosperous fairy city in the Yu Kingdom.
As we all know, casual cultivators are a group of people who do not like to be restrained and controlled. Cangyuan Immortal City has done a very satisfactory job in this regard.
In addition to the fact that no force is allowed within the Immortal City, any monk can freely enter and exit Cangyuan Immortal City without even having to pay entry fees or create identity files.
What Zhou Yang values is the relaxed atmosphere here.
No matter how they disguise themselves, these foreign monks are always a little different from the local monks at first. The relaxed atmosphere in Cangyuan Immortal City means that they do not need to be questioned by anyone, and they can slowly integrate into the contact with the local monks.
in.
"More than three thousand miles ahead is Cangyuan Immortal City. You can only walk the next road on your own. Remember, you are not allowed to conflict with others on the road, and do not interact too much with others. After arriving in the city, do not wander around first.
Walk around randomly, find a place to stay in Xianzhan and wait for arrangements."
In a mountain forest thousands of miles away from Cangyuan Immortal City, Zhou Yang lowered the empty ship and released the Zhou family monks inside to give instructions.
A large flying craft such as the Skywalk was too conspicuous, and Zhou Yang did not dare to drive it too close to Cangyuan Immortal City, lest it be discovered by some high-level monks and cause unnecessary trouble.
According to the news he learned, the territory of the Yu Kingdom was generally peaceful, but it only took a few thousand miles for the Qi-training monks of the Zhou family to cover the distance in just a few days, even if they traveled on both feet.
Moreover, even if something happened on the way, Zhou Guangxiang and the other four foundation-building monks escorting him from behind would be able to pretend to be passing monks and lend a helping hand in time.
