This is a vast and large island, and it is very well developed.
There are four or five large ports and docks in the surrounding area, with huge merchant ships and warships docked in the shallow sea.
Countless foreign business travelers come and go, bringing with them countless resources to support this giant force.
On the island, Mingwu Mountain.
There are many seas in the seven seas, but few islands and even fewer mountains. The mountains are cherished far more than the inland areas, so most of the forces are accustomed to settling and living in valleys or high mountains.
At this time the mountain.
On the mountainside, in an open, hard-packed square, a large number of descendants of the Ming family were sparring, shouting and punching.
Mixed in among them are masters who teach the skills and provide guidance as opportunities arise.
There were many disciples in the square. At first glance, there were at least hundreds of them.
And there are four squares like this.
Naturally, not all of them will be descendants of the Yoshimiu Akira family. A pure family force can be powerful, but after all, it has the limitations of blood.
The Ming family's approach was to recruit foreign bloodlines, subdue followers, recruit guests, etc. by recruiting sons-in-law.
In other words, the Yoshizu Ming family is also a force similar to a sect.
The only difference is that the largest faction is the Ming family.
On the mountainside of Mingwu Mountain, in a special shady place, is the core area of the Ming family.
In the continuous courtyards and pavilions, the people who come and go are all direct descendants of the Ming family or people in high positions.
At this time, deep in the courtyard, there is a courtyard facing the sea of clouds under the mountain.
In the courtyard, a strong, white-haired old man with a black rose embroidered on his chest was swimming with his upper body bare.
That's right, a pool was carved out of the courtyard built against the mountain.
In the clear water, the old man was obviously strong, but as flexible as a butterfly, swimming in the water.
If you ignore the wrinkles on his face, he looks as flexible as a young man.
After swimming for about an hour, the old man finally got up.
With just a hint of his toes, he rose up from the water, casually took out a white towel and put it on with a gentle smile on his face.
"Elder." Beside the pool, there were disciples from the Tsing Yi tribe standing respectfully. They had been waiting for a long time before they spoke.
"What's the news today?" the old man wiped his hair and asked casually.
"Today there are two first-class things, and there are five second-class things." The younger generation took out the letter paper from his sleeve, "The first second-class thing is that Miss Huangyue is delivering a message in Linzhou, and the family needs to collect the Haiyuan Hai clan.
Five precious fish stones are said to be of great use.
Second-class incident The second incident was in Jiaojun, Yizhou, and the Seven Seas League once again had a small battle with Zhou Dynasty. The outcome was also indeterminate. The great master Wufu was injured.
The second-class thing and the third-class thing..."
"There is no need to talk about the second-class matters. I have long retreated to the throne, and now the powers that should be delegated have also been delegated. Let them worry about these things... Let's just talk about the first-class matters." The white-haired old man said in a deep voice.
His name is Mingtun, and he was the former eldest elder of the Ming family. Now that his life is short, he has retired behind the scenes. He just has no time to spare and still asks his descendants to push information every day.
As the most powerful and unpredictable people in the Ming family, naturally no one dared to respond to this request.
Among them, the sources of information are divided into first-class and second-class according to their importance. First-class matters are all major matters involving the level of the True Lord.
At his level, he was already tired of hearing about second-class things.
"Yes." The younger disciple's expression remained unchanged. He respectfully put the letter in his hand aside and took out a piece of golden letter. "First things first. There are rumors that the leader of the Seven Seas Alliance, Master Bahai, intends to negotiate with Master Biyang of Jinli Island.
, intending to bring order to the seven seas,
This information is top secret, and it is also handled by the clan leader, so that the disciples can pass the message on to the elders."
"This matter is normal. I have expected it for a long time. Although Biyang is powerful and the South China Sea Alliance unites most of the forces in the inner sea, it would be fine if she only confronts the Seven Seas Alliance. Once the Zhonghai clan in the sea abyss is included, she will naturally not be able to withstand it.
The current confrontation is just to sell it at a good price and gain more say."
Nowadays, the situation in Chi County is turbulent. Since the collapse of the realm, the emerging monsters are stable on the surface, but they are getting stronger and making little moves behind the scenes.
If Nanami wants to protect itself as before, it must be unified. This is the general trend.
"What else? What else is there?" Mingtun dried his hair, put on a red ichthyosaur robe, and continued to ask.
"The second thing is that in the Beiliu Sea, there are traces of the Qianyu Realm Demon Dao. Then Xuanming Island in the Beiliu Sea was completely destroyed. On the island, True Lord Jue Ding and True Lord Chongming died.
Now there is news that the latter has escaped from the Beiliu Sea and is heading towards the inland sea. Master Xiuyun from the Maritime Affairs Department over there is asking for support from the clan."
"Jue Ding has passed through the three tribulations of the True Lord a few days ago. The Juehai Dingyi dharma body that he has condensed is the best at defense. Although Chong Ming is weak and has just broken through the True Lord, he has the secret technique of sea worms and cooperates with Qian
The Chong Wan Gu Dharmakaya is the best at reconnaissance..." Mingtun muttered to himself as he recalled their identities.
"The two of them together, although not very lethal, but extremely good at defense, actually died? And it was the hands of Qianyu Realm Demon Dao?!"
Thinking of this, he felt a little distressed in silence, "In this case, since Xiuyun wants people, let's send more people there, and also warn him not to think about being in the limelight."
The person who can completely destroy Xuanming Island, regardless of whether he is a monster from the Qianyu Realm or not, is definitely a ruthless person.
In a situation like this, it's better not to provoke anyone. Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be tall people who can hold it up.
"Understood." The disciple replied respectfully.
"Go down, have a good rest, practice martial arts diligently, and spend less time on women. At your age, do you want to play with women? Are you qualified to do so?" Mingtun glanced at the person in front of him and said coldly.
"A woman will only make your legs and feet weak. After completing the task of procreation, practice martial arts when it's time to practice martial arts. Don't be a waste!"
The younger disciples were very embarrassed when they heard this and nodded repeatedly.
But when he was about to go down, he was stopped by the old man again.
"By the way, one more thing, why did that girl Wanrou come back crying yesterday? Shouldn't she be in Thuja Sea?" Mingtun asked with a frown.
Ming Wanrou was a descendant of his lineage. She was very obedient and well-behaved, pleasing him, and she looked very much like his own daughter who had died long ago, so she was very popular with him.
"This...this..." The disciple in Tsing Yi was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"Let me speak." Suddenly, a steady voice appeared.
Whoosh!
Next to the pool, a figure appeared next.
This is a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe and a bamboo hat.
Ming Yan, the head of the Ming Family's Foreign Affairs Hall, ranks among the top five in the clan, and is naturally very strong. He is dressed like a sword-carrying knight who travels around the world in the snow.
In fact, the other party did gain the title of Beihai Yidao in his early years.
"Xiao Yanzi? What do you mean by that?" Ming Yan's sudden arrival also surprised Ming Tun and asked.
Ming Yan was about to speak, but when he heard the other party's address, his face suddenly darkened.
He suppressed his anger and glanced at the person next to him.
The original disciple of the younger generation understood and trotted away immediately.
Seeing no one around, Mingyan smiled bitterly and said:
"Grandpa, didn't you promise me not to call me that name when outsiders are around?"
"This..." Mingtun was a little embarrassed, but his expression remained as usual, and he changed the subject in a familiar manner: "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Tell me what is going on with this girl Wanrou."
Seeing the serious look of the old man in front of him, Ming Yan shook his head secretly, and then told everything about what happened and the information that had been transmitted not long ago.
a long time.
"I have been to the Thuja Sea Area, trying to find the ruins of the Thuja Dao Sect, but unfortunately I failed. However, I didn't expect that I would be found by a sect that had escaped from the land.
I didn’t expect that in such a sect, one of its disciples could actually be powerful enough to wipe out the Shen family in the sea area.”
Mingtun said in a deep voice, his eyes full of memories.
Back then, he was also a young man full of energy. He liked to travel around the world, drink the best wine, and look for the best opportunities. Unfortunately, only the former did it.
"Chixian County is vast and its roots are strong. In history, whenever the real troubled times come, don't some geniuses and geniuses often appear in this vast land?" Mingyan pressed the iron knife on his waist, but he didn't have so many emotions.
Of course, he still attaches great importance to the latter, not because of his talent, but because of his combat prowess.
"What you mean is that Wanrou has a grudge against her, so how come she wants to attack our Ming family when she comes to clean up her own land?" Mingtun asked after recalling it.
"It's possible, but it's not very likely. And if the opponent really dares to come, it doesn't matter. They can just crush him. It's easy." Ming Yan looked calm.
What he cares about is the other person's age, but his strength.
"I have investigated the life of this Taoist disciple of the Lingtai Sect, and even found out some of his experiences on land.
This person's character is bound to repay kindness and revenge. He can be regarded as clear-cut between grudges and grudges, but his actions are both good and evil. He is very unlike a person from the Lingtai Buddhist Sect, and the exercises he practices are not the exercises of this sect, but are evil ways.
If you are an enemy of this kind of person, it is best to deal with him as soon as possible, whether it is a person or a matter."
At the end of the sentence, Ming Yan paused.
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Mingtun, who was listening in front of him.
Mingtun immediately became happy when he heard this, "No wonder your kid came to the door. It turned out that he was waiting for me. Why, at this age, I still want to take action?"
"It's not like taking action. The method has actually been planned. Now, due to Wanrou's previous arrangement, all the major chambers of commerce in the Yabai Sea area have been conquered. As long as you, great grandfather, come to take charge and use trade to suppress them, under the general trend, the other party will be forced to come forward.
,
No matter whether it is subjugation or any other means, it is just a matter of hands. At this time, I can also warn the major forces in the outside world to show the prestige of my Ming family."
Ming Yan smiled.
"You kid..." Upon hearing this, Mingtun smiled bitterly, said nothing, shook his head and turned around.
A ball of blue water vapor emerged from under his feet, carrying it rapidly towards the mountain like a wave.
Ming Yan was relieved when he saw this, and it was finally settled.
Then there was some pity.
Zhenjun, who is less than thirty years old and is a genius of the Four Tribulations, of course, thinks that this assessment of his combat power is a bit exaggerated.
But if there is no proof, even if you don't survive the four tribulations, I'm afraid it won't be much better.
This talent, even in the Ming family, is unmatched by anyone.
This is why Mingyan immediately came to look for Mingtun.
A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength.
It's just a pity... If they had no grudges, and if they could make friends with such a talented and ruthless person, they might still be able to become close friends.
But now...
"I hope the old man can subdue it..." Ming Yan pressed the bamboo hat on his head, a look of regret flashed in his eyes, turned around, and quickly disappeared.
After settling the Shen family, there are many things that need to be dealt with.
Whether it is taking over the opponent's power or the island, or eliminating the chaos caused by it, or dealing with the inquiries from the Maritime Affairs Department, it is extremely annoying.
However, this matter was not something Lin Mo had to worry about.
During the period when Thuja Sea was stable, Xiao Langao and others did not do anything.
While consolidating its position in the Seven Seas, it is also attracting and recruiting other small peripheral forces.
It's just that in order to avoid attracting attention due to a big tree, and since there are no top experts in the sect, things are relatively restrained.
Now, after discussing with Lin Mo, he directly took advantage of the power of annihilating the Shen family and the Ming family to announce the recruitment of peripheral forces to the entire Thuja sea area, and even the surrounding sea areas.
The surrounding sea area is not clear, and some medium-sized forces in the entire Thuja sea area have achieved very good results after Lin Mo's friendly visit.
There are five more masters at the True Lord level alone.
All of a sudden, the power has expanded several times, and this is the premise of going through a lot of screening.
At this time, Lin Mo returned to Lingtai Sect and Yabai Island.
An exclusive place for training.
The waterfall that flowed down was still magnificent. The white steel fell on the bluestone, and a colorful rainbow light was reflected in the splashing water.
In front of the rainbow light, on a white stone more than three meters high.
Lin Mo was sitting next to a small brown stone tree, closing his eyes and practicing.
A wonderful stone tree is ranked among the top ten treasures in the Tiancai Volume. It can be said to be extremely precious.
In the past, once he was born, he would cause real chaos and make the true king bleed.
After getting such a good thing, he will naturally be the first to enjoy and explore it.
Under the stone tree, Lin Mo quietly followed the Great Mingling Tailong Buddhist Sutra to further refine the Dharma patterns and strengthen the Dharma body.
The Great Mie Ling Tai Dragon Buddha Sutra was compiled by himself and is his own unique sutra and true power.
It was created by the Great Power of the Heavenly Dragon, the Lingtai True Self Original Vow Sutra, the Stone Buddha Tathagata Sutra, as well as various scriptures that I have practiced and observed, plus various Dharma schools of the Qianyu Realm and the Hai Clan.
Its complexity has surpassed the most complex one Lin Mo has ever seen since he started practicing martial arts.
Even the inheritance of the Ten Immortals of the Thousand Feather Realm, the Dongji Qinghua Immortality Sutra, is not that complicated at the same level.
In his body, following the will of God, he could clearly sense that the black torrent of source power was constantly refining the untransformed will energy, mana, and water element.
At the same time, dense black patterns were left on the body, bones, and even the Dharma body.
"It is worthy of being a wonderful stone tree, a treasure of heavenly materials... Just by promoting my practice, it has almost doubled the speed of my divine forging patterns, and it also has the effect of restoring my divine will..."
Lin Mo felt the changes in himself and was a little surprised.
His cultivation speed was already astonishing, and he relied on the talent beads to solidify the most perfect state, which was far beyond ordinary people. Now that he has this wonderful stone tree, his cultivation speed has doubled again.
The Four Tribulations of the True Lord, one calamity with nine Dharma Patterns, after the Dharma Patterns are condensed, it is the Dharma Body Tribulation.
According to records, after breaking through to the True Lord, condensing a spell pattern and relying solely on self-cultivation will require years of effort.
And according to his speed, it has already happened.
Sensing the dense patterns on Jiulong Devouring Thousand-Eyed Demon Luofa's body, Lin Mo's mind condensed.
The source power in the body surged again and again, pouring into the Dharmakaya.
The nine-headed black dragon coiled around Mo Luofa opened its eyes and roared silently.
A spell is condensed into success.
It's that quick and easy.
"It's a bit too fast. With this progress, Zhenjun may be able to break through in just one year without even using it. But maybe this is because he has swallowed a lot of dharma bodies recently?"
Lin Mo felt that his Dharmakaya was getting stronger and said silently.
In this case, clearing the Thuja sea area is the right thing to do?
But it's not enough...
He suddenly thought of his previous conversation with Ma Yuande. If he really wanted to be stable, there was one last thing left to do.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo got up and walked out of the forest.
Ma Yuande, whom I hadn't seen for a long time and who had just arrived secretly, was sitting on a bluestone by the stream and looking into the distance. He was silent and didn't know what he was thinking.
After noticing Lin Mo's arrival, he quickly stood up.
Looking at Lin Mo, thinking of what this man had done recently, his attitude became more respectful, he clasped his fists with his hands and performed a scholar's salute.
