Chapter 602 The Three Meridians of Shenmen, Lord Ji Shi
The three disciples of True Monarch Dachang are all at the peak level of Nascent Soul. The history of their struggle cannot be tested, but the results of their struggle can be clearly seen now.
Taixuzi's line controls the Imperial City, and most of the power in the imperial city is controlled by Taixuzi's lineage.
Qingxuzi's lineage controls the holy land. Dachang Shenmen has a holy land. This holy land is the location of Dachang Zhenjun's monastery. It is magical and extraordinary. Nowadays, most of the holy land is under the control of Qingxuzi's lineage.
Yuqingzi's lineage is in charge of military affairs, and there are many strong men in this lineage. The masters of the Taoists bordering Xuanming Kingdom all belong to Yuqingzi's lineage.
However, Yu Qingzi is not only good at fighting, but also likes to explore dangerous and dangerous areas. Six years ago, Yu Qingzi explored the cold and dangerous areas alone and never came out again.
Since then, the leaderless Yuqingzi line has declined. The strong men of this line have scattered. Some strong men have defected to the other two lines of Shenmen, some have defected to the sect alliance, and some have either established their own mountain sect.
Or become a casual cultivator.
The so-called centipede insect is dead but not stiff. Although the Yuqing line has declined, there are still about ten Nascent Soul cultivators in this line. Therefore, it can barely be regarded as one of the four major forces in Dachang Kingdom.
one.
The last force in Dachang Kingdom is the sect alliance.
In the past ten years or so, as the True Monarch of Dachang disappeared and the three disciples of the True Monarch of Dachang fought against each other, some of the sects and aristocratic families that had surrendered to the Divine Sect of Dachang in the Kingdom of Dachang also became ready to take action.
Individual sects and aristocratic families are not strong enough, and competing with Dachang Shenmen is tantamount to hitting an egg against a stone.
As a result, some sects and aristocratic families began to form alliances secretly. As more and more sects and aristocratic families participated in the alliance, sectarian alliances gradually became a trend.
When the Shenmen Three Lineages discovered its existence, this sect alliance had grown into a behemoth.
At this time, if the three branches of Shenmen join forces to strangle this sect alliance, they can also destroy this sect alliance. However, in this case, Dachang Kingdom will definitely fall into long-term turmoil, and even fall apart because of this.
Therefore, the three branches of Shenmen pinched their noses and acquiesced to the existence of this sect alliance...
In the jade tablet, the ranking of the four major forces' combat power is as follows:
First, Taixuzi's lineage. Taixuzi is a peak monk in the Nascent Soul realm. Including Taixuzi, in this lineage, it is roughly estimated that there are about 30 Yuanying major cultivators in total.
Second, the sect alliance. The leader of the sect alliance is the master of Wanxiang Sect, Master Senluo, and Master Senluo is a peak monk of Nascent Soul Realm. This force is a collection of seven major sects and three major families. Small and medium sects and
There are more aristocratic families, with a total of about 20 Yuan Ying Daxiu.
Third, Qingxuzi's lineage. Qingxuzi is also a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. According to rough statistics, there are about 20 Yuanying major cultivators in this lineage.
Fourth, the lineage of Yuxuzi. Yuxuzi disappeared in the cold mountains and extremities, and his life and death are unknown. The current speaker of the lineage of Yuxu is Venerable Jishi, who also has the cultivation level of the peak Nascent Soul realm. Rough statistics of this lineage
, there are about 10 Nascent Soul Overhaulers in total.
When Xiao Zhi saw this, he did a simple mathematical calculation and added up the number of Yuanying major cultivators from these four major forces, and found that there were about 80 Yuanying major cultivators in total.
This does not include those Nascent Soul cultivators who are not among the four major forces and casual cultivators like Yun Cangzi.
If these are added, the number of Yuanying monks in Dachang Kingdom is estimated to be around a hundred.
Maybe not a hundred, but it's pretty close.
This is in line with some of Xiao Zhi's perceptions.
He was wondering, which faction does Yang Xi's master, Venerable Li Yuan, belong to?
Venerable Li Yuan is a Venerable Shenmen, and he definitely does not belong to the sect alliance. He should belong to one of the three lines of Shenmen. So, which one of the three lines of Shenmen does he belong to?
Xiao Zhi began to recall some things.
After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
As far as he knew, Beilan Daocheng was besieged at that time. There were five Yuanying Daxiu stationed in Beilan Daocheng from the Dachang Kingdom, and one of them was Venerable Li Yuan.
At that time, Xiao Zhi was watching the battle on a high mountain not far from Beilan Daocheng. He could clearly see how Beilan Daocheng was breached.
There are no reinforcements.
From the time the city was defended until Beilan Dao City was breached, no decent reinforcements arrived.
If Venerable Li Yuan belonged to Taixuzi's lineage, it shouldn't be like this...
Even if Venerable Li Yuan belongs to the weaker Qingxuzi lineage, he shouldn't be so isolated and helpless, right?
Could it be that Venerable Li Yuan belongs to the weakest Yuxu lineage among the three lines of Shenmen?
When he thought of this, the bad feeling in his heart became even stronger.
With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Zhi continued to look down.
As he watched, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Perhaps because his relationship with Yang Xu and Yang Xi is no longer a secret to the All Living Beings Army, this information jade plaque actually mentioned Yang Xi’s master, Venerable Li Yuan!
Moreover, it is specially stated that Venerable Li Yuan belongs to the Yu Xuzi lineage among the three lines of Shenmen.
They are really of the same lineage as Yu Xuzi...
When Xiao Zhi saw this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
However, although this Yu Xuzi lineage is weak, according to what is said on this jade plaque, this lineage still has about 10 Nascent Soul Realm major cultivators. Why was there no strong person to support when Beilan Dao City was besieged?
?
Could it be that the Nascent Soul cultivators of the same lineage are also in a state of intrigue and deception, and they appear to be in harmony with each other but are at odds with each other?
If this is the case, then the country of Dachang is really rotten to the core and completely hopeless.
Soon after, Xiao Zhi read the information recorded in the jade token and threw the jade token into the storage ring.
He was sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes and thinking about something.
At this moment, his door was knocked gently again.
Xiao Zhi opened his eyes and emitted a trace of true energy, which turned into an invisible hand and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was still Lu Yongnian.
"Director Lu, what's the matter?" Xiao Zhi asked.
"Xiao Zhi, there is a person outside the house who asked to see you by name. There is something unusual about this person, so I will come over and let you know so that you know." Lu Yongnian said.
Is there anyone out there who wants to see me?
Xiao Zhi frowned slightly.
This is his first time in Dachang Imperial City. He is not familiar with the place, so who would want to see him?
With these thoughts in his mind, Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up brightly and he looked towards the door of this private residence.
His 'Celestial Eye' magical power has the ability to see through things.
In an instant, Xiao Zhi's eyes penetrated several stone walls of different thicknesses and saw the scene at the entrance of the house.
At the door of the house, there were two people standing at this time, one standing inside the door and the other standing outside.
The two of them were a foot away from each other, faintly facing each other.
The man standing inside the door is a young man who looks very ordinary. The young man has a stern expression and is wearing a gray military uniform. His right hand is resting on the hilt of the sword on his waist. He is the only foundation of the Seventh Department of the Imperial City of All Beings.
Wu Xiu’s name is Li Yang.
The man standing outside the door was a young man wearing a black Taoist uniform who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. The young man had a delicate face, his hands folded across his chest, his head slightly raised, and a proud expression on his face. He did not look at the person in front of him at all.
Li Yang, the foundation-building martial arts cultivator, took it seriously.
But this young man does have arrogance.
Xiao Zhi could tell at a glance that this was a peak foundation-building spiritual cultivator!
At such an age, with such a strong cultivation level, no matter where he is placed, he belongs to the category of genius.
Xiao Zhi searched his mind and found no impression of this young man at all.
So why is this person looking for me by name?
Also, there was no fanfare when he entered the city. How did this person find his place in the huge Dachang Imperial City?
Phew! Xiao Zhi's figure became blurry in the room, and when he reappeared, he had already appeared in front of the house door.
He took a step forward, stood in front of Li Yang, stared at the young man in front of him, and said, "I am Xiaozhi, who are you?"
The young man in Taoist uniform calmed down the proud expression on his face, with a bright golden light in his eyes. After staring at Xiao Zhi for a while, he bowed to Xiao Zhi and said, "Master Xiao, my master, I invite you to come to the divine gate to meet me!"
Xiao Zhi looked at the young man in Taoist uniform and asked, "May I ask who your master is?"
The young man in Taoist uniform looked solemn and said: "My ancestor is the Venerable Ji Shi."
Lord Jishi? Who is Lord Jishi?
Xiao Zhi felt that the name was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly remembered that this Venerable Ji Shi was not the leader of the Yuxu lineage among the three lines of Shenmen now?
He had just seen the name of Venerable Ji Shi on the information jade plaque.
This is a powerful monk at the peak level of Nascent Soul!
The other party is a talker from the Yuxu lineage of Shenmen, and he is very close to Venerable Li Yuan, Yang Xi, etc. from the Yuxu lineage and has a deep relationship.
If this is the case, then it makes sense that the Venerable Jishi wants to see him.
After all, he is no longer the little warrior before, but a martial arts cultivator in the late stage of Jindan!
Golden elixir monk is not a big cabbage.
A golden elixir monk, no matter where he is placed, is someone worthy of being attracted...
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Zhi figured out the greatest possibility that Venerable Ji Shi wanted to see him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi nodded slightly to the Taoist young man in front of him and said: "It turns out to be Senior Ji Shi, please lead the way."
He simply couldn't refuse the invitation from a peak Nascent Soul monk. Since he couldn't decide, he shouldn't hesitate. It would be better to have fun.
The young man in Taoist uniform nodded, took out an exquisitely carved carriage statue, and threw it forward.
The statue swelled in the wind and turned into an exquisite black wooden carriage. On the carriage, you can also see a complex seal script character "Chang".
The horse pulling the cart is a white horse. It is taller than a dragon colt. Its hair is as white as snow and it is extremely handsome. There is also a sharp horn on the forehead of the horse. The sharp horn is silver-white, like
Like metal pouring.
When Xiao Zhi saw this horse, the first word that came to his mind was 'unicorn'.
Could this be the legendary unicorn?
He really wanted to ask the young man in Tao uniform what the name of the horse with the horns on its forehead was, but in the end he held back.
Because this will make him appear ignorant.
He is a dignified Jindan monk, and he is also a decent person, but he cannot be looked down upon like this.
The Taoist young man made an inviting gesture to Xiao Zhi, asking him to get on the carriage.
Xiao Zhi nodded and walked towards the carriage calmly and slowly. He was now a dignified Jindan monk, so he still had to have the demeanor of a strong man.
The carriage was galloping on the smooth bluestone road, but Xiao Zhi, who was sitting in the carriage compartment, felt stable and did not feel any bumps at all.
While sitting on the carriage, he also noticed a detail. This carriage must be very unusual. Wherever the carriage passed, pedestrians avoided the way. Even the guards patrolling the city or other carriages were the same.
Because of this, the carriage is very fast.
Not long after, the inner city of Dachang Imperial City was already in sight.
The inner city of Dachang Imperial City also has city walls and gates, and is also guarded by armored and bladed guards.
However, the carriage did not stop, passed through the city gate, and rushed straight into the inner city.
No one of the guards on duty dared to stop him. Instead, they all respectfully saluted the departing carriage.
Compared with the outer city, the streets in the inner city of the Imperial City are much wider and neater, and there are much fewer pedestrians on the streets.
The unicorn ran wildly on all four hooves, and the carriage became much faster.
After a while, the Dachang Shenmen located in the central area of the inner city was already in sight.
This is a grand palace complex, especially the towering statue thousands of feet high inside the Dachang Shenmen, which is really eye-catching.
The closer you get to it, the more insignificant you feel.
Xiao Zhi looked up at it, feeling like a tiny ant looking up at a giant.
However, apart from being majestic and huge, this statue of Dachang Zhenjun does not show anything magical.
There was no pressure coming out, and no light lingering around it. Apart from being a bit larger, it looked like an ordinary stone sculpture.
When Xiao Zhi withdrew his gaze from the huge and majestic statue of Dachang Zhenjun, the carriage had already carried him into the Dachang Divine Gate.
A golden light curtain like a water curtain appeared in front of Xiao Zhi's eyes.
When Xiao Zhi's body passed through the light curtain, he felt a slight chill, as if his body was soaked in cold water.
Faintly, Xiao Zhi felt that there were several eyes looking at him from various places in the Shenmen.
Dachang Shenmen is the core of the entire Dachang Kingdom. After entering Dachang Shenmen, the Taoist boy collected the carriage and led the way, leading Xiao Zhi to walk inside the Shenmen.
Not long after walking, a figure suddenly appeared ten feet in front of Xiao Zhi.
This is an old man wearing a black Taoist uniform embroidered with gold.
The old man had black hair and beard, and his cheekbones were somewhat high. His eyes were shining brightly as he stared at Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi felt an invisible pressure and couldn't help but stop.
The young man in Taoist uniform who was leading the way for Xiao Zhi hesitated for a moment, bowed to the old man and said, "I have seen the Venerable Shenmu."
The old man ignored it and just stared at Xiao Zhi.
Venerable Shenmu, this old man who suddenly appeared, turned out to be a Venerable Shenmen.
Those who are qualified to be honored within the Divine Sect, without exception, are all Nascent Soul cultivators.
Xiao Zhi also bowed to the old man like a young man in Taoism, and said: "I have seen the Venerable Shenmu."
