Chapter 553: War in the Northwest [Double monthly votes requested]
Hou Zi had nothing to prepare for. He had already told his two brothers about his idea of attacking the true inheritance, and probably nothing would happen.
As he said, it is still early and it would be premature to discuss these issues now.
In the world of cultivation, waiting is a science and patience is an art.
...The northwest is the poorest region in the Splendid Continent. It is not because of the laziness of the humans here, but because it is entirely determined by climate conditions.
Drought, sandstorms, lack of water systems, and poor soil... Various reasons have resulted in sparsely populated areas and low productivity in most areas of the northwest.
The population is sparse and living conditions are difficult. In such an environment, one should not expect the cultivation forces to develop. This is something determined by economic conditions and cannot be changed by people's subjective wishes.
The northwest region is also the place with the fewest cultivation forces in the mainland. Although the area is far larger than that of the southwest, there are only six Taoist forces, and their relative size is much smaller than that of other regional Taoist forces. The most famous among them is Qin
Gate, cross the gate.
The reason why these two sects are ranked high in the mainland cultivation world is not because of their great strength, but because they are located in the northwest, and they have to find two to fill in their facades.
It is precisely because of the actual situation in the northwest region that it is also the place where undead creatures are most rampant; unlike other regions where humans have been able to suppress non-human cultivation creatures, here we are still in a situation where both parties coexist and are hostile to each other.
.
To use Hou Zi's terminology, it's like enlarging Yin Ling countless times.
Because it is close to the Kuaixu Desert, the living conditions of the entire northwest region become more and more desolate as you go to the northwest, until it is completely uninhabited. Relatively speaking, Qinmen and beyond are areas close to the south. The difficult conditions make the west of the northwest really unsustainable.
The survival of a sect's orthodoxy cannot even guarantee the most basic cultivation seedlings, let alone anything else?
The chaos in other parts of the continent is caused by the confusion of people's hearts, the intensification of conflicts between cultivating forces, and the uncertainty about the future. However, in some places, the chaos is more practical, such as in the northwest, where humans and the desert are immortal.
The most direct conflict between living things.
Some things in the dark are often more sensitive to non-human cultivation creatures, because their cultivation relies more on instinct. Therefore, in the desire for a more fertile living environment, desert undead creatures have gathered in humans in recent years.
Incidents of local intrusions are becoming more and more frequent.
It is precisely because of this situation that all the Taoist forces in the mainland are sending monks to the northwest. The same situation also occurs in the Yiyi Mountains and Yaoguang Mountains in the north. This is the instinct of monsters to escape from dangerous places.
Among the five areas on the mainland, only two areas facing the sea are relatively stable, because marine life is still not used to going to land?
Cultivators are no better than ordinary mortals. The large amount of knowledge they absorb makes them very clear about what it means to have a dead lip and a cold tooth. Moreover, there are many monks in this group who are willing to be at home all over the world, both for ideals and for survival.
The orthodox forces did not stop it, because this was also a rare opportunity to train monks, which was much better than killing each other among human beings.
For Yanmen Quanzhen, Sima Mansion has the most power in the direction of Beidi Yiyi and Northeast Yaoguang; after all, Sima Mansion is the largest among the three mansions, and these two places are also very powerful because of the local human cultivation power.
, so the people from Sima Mansion were very suitable in the past. They were good at dancing, and the battles were not that fierce.
The northwest direction is basically in charge of the Situ Mansion. The local cultivators here are relatively weak and can only rely on themselves for everything. The requirements for combat effectiveness are also very high, which is suitable for the group of fanatics in the Situ Mansion who are happy to hear the battle.
Yu Zhengxing was such a sword cultivator from the Situ Palace. When he was in the Tongtian Realm, he gave up the opportunity to stay in the Situ Palace in Yujing and stayed in Miaogao Town to preside over the party; when he got the Golden Pill, he gave up the chance to stay in the Situ Palace again.
It has been more than twenty years since he took the position and went to the northwest to preside over the offense and defense in one direction.
Although this guy is very stingy, Hou Zi has a pretty good impression of him. If he works under an elder like him, he probably won't be too bad, right?
In fact, there are many monks like Yu Zhengxing and Luo Yewang in the Three Prefectures. In Hou Zi's view, they are the true backbone of the Yan Sect Quanzhen, and the position of true disciple should be chosen from these people.
As he flew along, the ground beneath his feet gradually changed color, from green to green, to mixed with green and yellow, and finally to his current situation, which was basically covered in earthy yellow, and it was difficult to find even a trace of green.
Strong winds are blowing, dust is flying, and visibility is very low. However, such windy and sandy weather conditions are common here, and they are like this most of the year. Looking down from the sky, it is even difficult to distinguish the human figures below. More to the eye
There were swirling cyclones of sand and dust, wreaking havoc on the vast half-earth and half-sand terrain.
Being able to stay in such a place for more than twenty years, Hou Zi's admiration for this uncle grew day by day.
He didn't have any familiar friends in the northwest region. If he had to find one, it would probably be the Yin Qingsi siblings he met in Lizhihai, but as far as the relationship was concerned, it was just a casual encounter.
He has no interest in going to Qinmen to renew their relationship.
Coming to the northwest area, it feels like coming to the sea, with the same sand dunes and mounds, and the same difficulty in positioning; on the sea, he can also judge the approximate location through islands, reefs, stars and ocean currents, but here,
His experience in the sea couldn't help him at all. It seemed to be even more difficult than the sea?
Except you don’t have to worry about landing.
I spread out the map again, and based on the towns, oasis, and distant mountains I passed along the way, I could barely maintain a rough direction.
Of course the monks who went to the northwest from various countries on the mainland would not stay in the rear areas like Qin and Yue, as that would lose the meaning of training; they were basically concentrated in the mixed area between the northwest and the Paixu Desert, which was either shallow or deep, and varied.
Uneven.
The entire interface is tens of thousands of miles long and intertwined. No matter how many human monks fill it in, it will be a drop in the bucket; but even if it is impossible to achieve a complete barrier, it is completely different with them and without them. Without these people's dedication here, these hundreds of
In recent years, as more and more undead creatures have awakened in the Kuaixu Desert, several human countries in the northwest region may disappear.
He carefully compared the map with his finger and slowly traced it; because they all belong to different Taoist forces, the monks on the northwest border really come from all over the mainland, including Taoists, Buddhas, and demons, and they are a mixture of fish and dragons.
But based on the basic distinction, the entire boundary is roughly divided into eight sections.
Dazu Qiu, Quicksand Dunes, Tea Horse Road, Sea Buckthorn Sea, Ancient Loulan, Huanghu Stone Carvings, Triangle Shazhou, Iron Stone Qiu.
Each area is maintained by different Taoist forces, and Yanmen Quanzhen and some small Demon Sect Taoists are guarding the line of Guloulan, which is where he wants to go.
