The Northern Territory is the largest of the five areas on the Splendid Continent. The orthodoxy here is also relatively complex. Various forces are intertwined. There is no dominant orthodoxy. Everyone's strength is similar, maintaining a balance of power.
In terms of Taoist sects, Yanmen Zhaomen is a relatively large Taoist sect. There is a gap between it and the Southeastern Taoist sect, but the gap is not too big.
Buddhism, including the Longtan Buddhist Kingdom, the Celadon Buddhist Kingdom, and the Pure Land Buddhist Kingdom, are also very powerful traditions. They echo the Buddhist kingdoms in the Northeast region and are a system that no one dares to offend easily.
The demon sects here are led by the Wuqing Dao of the Lotus Kingdom, and there are several smaller demon sects in other countries. They all follow the Wuqing Dao. In terms of strength alone, they can be regarded as the first-class demon sects in the north. There are nine
The qualifications of a Mingzhen disciple are on par with those of the Yan Sect Quanzhen.
There are also some side sect countries, mainly a few medium-sized body cultivation sects. Although each of them is not very powerful, they watch and help each other, they stick together, and they can get along.
Of course, the grassland force can be considered one of them, and it is also the most dispersed force. It is distributed in more than a dozen countries and is fragmented.
They cannot be regarded as a country because there is no Yingbian Zhenren to guard them. They can only be regarded as nomadic people, migrating according to water and grass. Because the living environment is unacceptable to ordinary mortals, they are free from various orthodox traditions. This has not grown in strength for two thousand years.
, and was not annexed by anyone.
It can't be swallowed because no one wants to immigrate, and the herders here are notoriously stubborn and difficult to assimilate culturally.
Kangba Zuo Banner belongs to the depths of the grassland. This land theoretically belongs to the Dai Tao Kingdom. Of course, no one comes to collect taxes, and there are no officials to assign. They just maintain relatively close business relations and transport the specialties of the grassland.
, in exchange for various daily necessities from the Central Plains.
This is a paradise in broad daylight, but I don’t know how long this tranquility can last?
Time flies, and there are more and more flying swords on the grassland.
After dozens of grassland swordsmen awakened the sword spirit in the first half of the year, the losers who were lectured by the senior brother also ushered in their own spring; after all, they were only close to the golden elixir but not already golden elixir. With perseverance,
The elites headed by Shi Lat also achieved their own sword spirits one after another, and their combat effectiveness soared. At least they no longer wanted to be dragged and rubbed like before.
More and more grassland swordsmen are coming here because of its reputation. For those who practice swordsmanship, this place is a holy land. In less than a year, hundreds of Tongtian realm swordsmen have arrived here, but they have awakened the sword spirit.
The results were very poor, because the most outstanding group had already succeeded, and those who followed would inevitably have mixed strengths.
No matter how miraculous the ancient sheepskin scrolls are, it is impossible to guarantee that everyone can awaken the sword spirit. As more and more people become more and more people, the overall success rate is getting lower and lower, from 70% to 80%, to no more than 50%, and continues to drop.
The current ratio is 20 to 30%. It is conceivable that as swordsmen from remote areas get wind of the situation, this ratio will be even lower. This is the ecology of the normal cultivation world.
There were also Jindan elders coming, not many, but a few; they were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that their strength would be greatly reduced after the body stripping surgery. After Hou Zi explained the risks to them, there were still three Jindan elders.
Choose to try.
There is no other way, the combination of body and sword and indulgence in the sky is too tempting to refuse.
Half a year passed, and just as Hou Zi expected, no one succeeded; this was a hurdle that limited the awakening of body swordsmanship to the formation of pills, and no one had the ability to change it.
This made the grassland people's idea of greatly improving their strength come to nothing. They still need to wait and wait for this batch of Tongtian realm sword cultivators to reach a higher level before they can truly complete the leap in power quality of grassland cultivation.
The sword spirit has awakened. The next thing to do is to adapt. How to truly integrate the learned skills into combat and fully unleash its power. This requires a process.
Skills are not equal to immediate combat power.
The sword light flying all over the sky is the prairie sword cultivators chasing each other and fighting to hone their swordsmanship through such battles; but it is not enough. They can only simulate the battle between sword cultivators. In actual combat, this is actually very difficult.
small probability,
Real battles often occur between practitioners, monks, physical practitioners, and heretics. There is no other way. No one will be willing to be their sword target except to go out and fight.
On this day, Shi La came to him and said, "Senior brother, there is a conflict between our people gathered in Shuanggou and Brother Daitao. I want to take people over to take a look."
Hou Zi was speechless, "You don't need to make such a poor excuse if you want to provoke others, right? I know you want to make excuses, but don't you think it is dangerous to start provoking your neighbors now? The best way is to disperse
Let’s travel around the mainland to accumulate experience, and then consider the next step after my wings mature.”
Shi La smiled bitterly, "Senior brother, we are really not making excuses. Although our brothers have greatly improved in strength, we are not so superficial that we need to do something now.
Shuanggouji is an important market for transactions between the grasslands and the interior. Most of the output of the nearby grasslands will be traded through Shuanggouji. There are usually no practitioners to manage it, but this time it was opened for some unknown reason.
Get up, one of our brothers suffered a big loss, the news came out, and it still needs to be verified."
"Dai Tao is a body cultivator? Are they always so arrogant?" Hou Zi didn't know much about the situation in the north.
Shi La nodded, "The bone-setting sect and the orthodoxy of bone-setting are usually quite reasonable. Although it can't be said to be friendly, there are no major disputes. Everyone reciprocates politely and there are no festivals. That's why I am very surprised about this matter.
, I want to take people over there to see if it can be resolved peacefully."
Hou Zi smiled and said, "As long as you understand this truth, we are not afraid of conflicts now, but there is no need to deliberately provoke conflicts. Think about it, there are still six years until Ling Qing comes from the sky, and by then the mainland will definitely change.
Why don't you take a closer look before talking?
In terms of the strength of the grassland, in a few decades many people like you will enter the Golden Elixir Realm. By that time, I am afraid that even the infant-turned-real people will not dare to go wild on the grassland easily and face so many Golden Elixir swords.
Xiu's siege.
This period is very important, it is the best time window for you to improve your strength. If you can understand this, you will probably have a charter for how to deal with this dispute."
Shi Lat, "I can bear to be angry for a while just to raise my eyebrows in the future. I understand."
"Do you need me to go with you?"
"No, if we have to do something for such a trivial matter, Brother Lao, then we are too incompetent, right? The grassland has been passed down for thousands of years, and we have our own way of survival."
