The Splendid Continent is not simply divided into southeast, northwest and northwest.
The terrain does not take care of human beings' sense of direction, so humans can only adapt to the terrain and divide the Splendid Continent into five regions based on comprehensive reasons such as mountains, rivers, climate, etc.
They are the largest northern region, followed by the northeastern and southeastern regions, and the smaller northwest and southwest regions.
Spreading further outward, outside the southwest area is the Lizhi Sea, outside the southeast area is Tianjieyang, outside the northeast area is the endless Buzhou Cangling Mountains, outside the north area is the majestic and dangerous Longyi Mountains, and outside the northwest area is thousands of miles of deserted land.
District Yanxi Desert is probably such a distinction.
The region with the most countries is the southeast region, which is also the richest region in the Splendid Continent. There are dozens of countries, and Taoism is the most prosperous;
Although the northern region is the largest in area, it does not have many countries. It is a vast area with sparsely populated areas, but it lags behind in terms of population and financial resources.
Yan State, Anhe, Wu State, Wei State, etc. all belong to the southwest region. There are thirteen countries in the entire region, which means there are thirteen cultivation traditions.
The region is a mixed bag of Taoist sects, including Taoist sects, Buddhist sects, magic sects, and some side sects; the Quanzhen Sect of the State of Shan was originally considered the leading power in the southwest region, but it has long since given up its chief throne after the rapid expansion of the Wu State in the past hundred years.
, but Wumen has become the brightest star in the southwest region.
This time, the Southwest Forum on Taoism is a large gathering of low-level monks from the thirteen countries in the southwest. Of course, it is no longer the thirteen countries. Strictly speaking, due to the expansion of the Wu Sect, there have been four small Taoism countries.
With the Wu clan as the main one, there are only nine factions left.
If Anhe bows his head in the end, there will only be eight companies left that can still make their voices heard; considering the reasons of strength and unwillingness to stand in line to please both sides, there will be no more than five companies that really dare to speak. This is the reality in the southwest region.
"Southwest talks about Tao, that's nice to say. You are all small cultivators who haven't even reached Tongxuan. You can't understand anything about Tao, so why are you talking about Tao?
In fact, it’s just a competition of skills! The venue is in the Divine Capital of Anhe Kingdom!”
Hou Zi was speechless. What were he doing? If he had told her earlier, it would have saved him the unnecessary trip back and forth.
She could see through his mind at a glance, "The message has just been delivered, and you can't be found. There is no harm in running errands for young people, and you will not be exhausted."
Hou Zi was a little confused, "Why Anhe? Does it have anything to do with Wumen's annexation of Anhe orthodoxy?"
Yu Zhengxing pointed at him, "I finally used my brain. I've been telling you all this time that magic is not about physical cultivation. You can't cultivate blood and muscles into your brain!"
The cause of the matter is the Anhe Taoist Sect. In view of the fact that the previous small Taoist sects were gradually absorbed by the Wu Sect, our Quanzhen Sect sat back and watched the tigers fight, thinking that we could gain the advantage of others. As a result, the Wu Sect became more and more powerful, and even forced it to
It's at our doorstep.
The judgment of the top management over the past hundred years proved to be wrong. They overestimated the resistance of these small Taoist sects and underestimated the Wu sect's control methods. As a result, they just watched it grow and become unstoppable.
A lesson from the past is a guide for the future; Anhe State cannot let them continue to succeed, so we, the Quanzhen Sect, decided to intervene in the dispute between them."
Hou Zi sighed, "The strategy is right, but there are natural disadvantages that cannot be avoided; if we were not a demon sect, but a branch of the Taoist sect, this matter would be much easier, and we would get a strong response from Anhe Taoist sect.
But now...the differences in orthodoxy cannot be erased, and the differences are too great. At this point, Wu Sect has an innate advantage."
Yu Zhengxing glanced at him in surprise. This little guy was very strong in terms of personal strength, but he didn't expect that he also had such an excellent outlook on the overall situation. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can see his methods from the Wen family's affairs, and he can tell the Wen family's hidden worries.
It was basically solved, and there were still seeds of recovery. Even he couldn't think of any better way, except that he had a dark heart, which was perfect.
"We can't completely stop it. All we can do is support the resistance faction of Anhe Daomen! As long as they are determined to resist, we will do our best to support them.
So if you look at our interactions with Anhe Daomen in recent years, on the one hand, they need our help, but on the other hand, aren't we helping ourselves?
In the current Anhe country, the various forces have not yet completely broken up, so various overt struggles are still hidden in secret fights. However, a very small number of hardliners have been plotted. For example, my friend Wen Jinglai told him long ago
He had to be careful, but in the end he believed wholeheartedly in the principle of internal fighting within the Taoist sect and lost himself in it."
Yu Zhengxing sighed with emotion, "We are both Taoist sects. It is easy for the Wu sect to integrate in, but it is difficult for us. Many people cannot accept the label of colluding with the Demonic sect.
This southwest Taoist discussion is, firstly, to show our attitude and determination, secondly, to support the Anhe Taoist resistance faction, and thirdly, to show Wu Menliang’s strength, so we can only win, not lose!"
Hou Zi nodded and understood completely; Anhe was sandwiched between the forces of the Yan Kingdom and the Wu Clan, so judging from his position, he didn't think twice about it.
"specific……"
"I don't know the specifics, how to discuss it, the conditions for victory or defeat, and who will lead the team. It's still unknown. I guess I won't know for sure until I get to the city of God.
Not long after the news came, I recommended you, and the three houses of Jincheng unanimously agreed."
Hou Zi laughed in surprise, "It seems that there are quite a few people who hate me to death."
Yu Zhengxing smiled playfully, "You still have some self-awareness, but it's not as absolute as you said. There are some who are really optimistic about you. After all, among the low-level disciples of this generation of Da Feng Yuan, there are not many outstanding ones who can make some achievements.
There were even fewer of them, there were still a few in the first few years, but in the end they were all transferred to other states."
Hou Zi didn't ask in detail, because he knew that the Quanzhen Sect was not a place for good men and women. The water inside was very deep, just like the separation of the three prefectures, and he still hasn't understood its true meaning.
There is no need to force it, you will know it naturally when you reach the realm; but he vaguely felt that this Yu Zhengxing seemed to have some connection with Captain Li Chuping? It was just a feeling, and he did not dare to explore it in detail.
"when are we leaving?"
"Wait! The Quanzhen Yu Order has been issued, and the disciples from various states are coming to Jincheng. I estimate that they will gather in Jincheng as early as half a month or as late as ten, which is the day you are waiting to set off.
You still have time to go back to Yinling to deal with the funeral affairs, but don’t delay, especially not after the disciples from Yujing arrive; those people are all the proud sons of heaven, with outstanding strength and profound backgrounds. If they really get into trouble, I will help.
Not for you."
Hou Zi nodded and was not angry about it; strength is achieved by fighting, not by blowing.
The proud ones of heaven? Just hold them up, as long as they feel comfortable and are not afraid of falling.
