Qiantiandijie is divided into thirty-nine states based on area.
But if we look at population, there are at most twenty-three states.
That is, Riju, Wolju, Seongju, and Zhongzhou have a population of more than 50 million.
As well as the thirteen major regions of Zhongzhou, which are red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple, black, white, river, river, mountain and sea, almost all occupied by the ten major demon sects and the six major immortal sects, which generally have a population of more than 30 million. .
The rest is divided according to the five elements of metal, wood, cold, fire and earth, and then further divided into the twenty lower states of southeast, northwest and northwest.
As well as the island states and Lizhou isolated overseas.
The population of these twenty-two lower states is less than 30 million, and some lower states are even less than 10 million. The reason why they are still divided into one state, and are also divided in the names of southeast and northwest, is mainly because the area of these states is too large.
Each state is thousands of miles across.
If it were not divided into southeast, northwest and northwest, the territory of one state might stretch thousands of miles across.
Although these tens of thousands of miles may be filled with vast mountains, endless snowfields, or dead swamps, with few human traces, and even impossible for ordinary people to survive, after all, it belongs to Daqian's territory, and they will not turn a blind eye.
At this time, people from ancient times to the present stood on a map obtained from the Xingzhou Prefecture's mansion, looking at the major states that were marked one after another.
Among these major states, south of Tianhe, from north to south, are Huangzhou occupied by Huang Tiandao, Xingzhou occupied by ancient and modern times, Chizhou occupied by Purgatory Sect, Baizhou occupied by Huangquan Sect, and the combined population of the four states in the southeast and northwest Yanzhou, which has less than 40 million people, Jiangzhou, which is occupied by Longque Villa, Lizhou, which is occupied by major local forces, Lanzhou, which is occupied by Lengyue Sect, and the four major Muzhous, which have become a kingdom of monsters.
There are fifteen states in total.
The population has been reduced and should now be around 300 million.
Equivalent to one-third of a large stem.
If we only count the area, it is nearly half of Daqian.
"Among these large states, Longqueshanzhuang is rich in mineral deposits. It not only has several large-scale metal mines, but also a gold mine. However, if we consider the direction of immortal fine gold... the largest gold mine south of Tianhe is in Muzhou. "
From ancient times to the present, we have seen that land completely reduced to a kingdom of demons.
The gold mine in Muzhou is second only to the one in Yuezhou occupied by the Sanqing Temple in the Daqian world.
"The situation in Muzhou has completely collapsed. Even if two or three heavenly beings come, they may not be able to turn things around. We can only unite with the local forces and slowly figure it out. But in today's world, except for the Daqian royal family and the Sanqing Temple, Which other family can send two or three heavenly beings?"
I stared at the map of Muzhou for a while.
Even though he knew that as time passed and the cracks in Muzhou's demon world opened again and again, more and more demon spirits would come out of it and the demons born would become more and more powerful, he was still powerless.
In the end, he had no choice but to turn his attention to Longque Villa.
The gold mine in Muzhou cannot be conquered for the time being, so we can only settle for the next best thing.
Just when Gu Jin was thinking about where to refine the immortal gold needed for his Ying Mecha No. 1, he entered the study and brought a piece of news.
A distinguished guest is visiting.
…
At the same time, a group of carriages and horses appeared outside Lingxiao City.
There are not many people in this group, but without exception, they all hold high positions and have extraordinary demeanor.
If there is any true disciple of the Purgatory Sect here, they will definitely be able to identify it immediately. A middle-aged man in the group is clearly the leader of their Purgatory Sect and a great monk at the peak of God Transformation, Lu Bingxian.
It's just that at this moment, the team is not led by him, the sect leader. He seems to be a junior, accompanying an old man with gray hair and a childish face.
"Lingxiao City, the last time I came here was more than forty years ago? At that time, it was just a small city..."
The old man said and glanced around.
How can Lingxiao City still look like a small city at this time?
Even before reaching the city, there are already a large number of manors and buildings on both sides of the main roads in the suburbs.
Countless farmers and merchants are dotted among them, and they are constantly busy.
Everyone seems to have their own thing to do, and everyone knows what they want to do.
Being busy brings fulfillment.
Moreover, even the most ordinary farmers rarely have patches on their clothes, and their personal mental state is quite full, with no signs of numbness, thinness, or yellowish skin.
With this kind of physique, you can become a strong man with just a few months of training. If you can enter a martial arts school to learn martial arts, and polish it for a year or two, you may even enter the body-tempering realm and become an elite in the army.
"The people are full of energy and the people are prosperous and powerful. This is the spirit that only the people of the imperial capital had in those days."
The old man said.
"Elder Taishang, the ancient Taishang implemented an unprecedented system in Lingxiao City. This system divided everyone into two classes, a ruling class and a ruled class. The ruling class can be subdivided into two types.
One kind belongs to the ancient family, and only the ancient family's laws can punish it, and the other kind..."
Lu Bianxian hesitated for a moment and said: "Refining gods is against the law and is the same as common people."
"The crime of refining gods is the same as that of civilians?"
The old man frowned.
He is respected as the Supreme Elder by Lu Bingxian, and his identity is self-evident. He is Liu Jingtao, the Supreme Supreme Leader of the Purgatory Sect.
"How can the person who is the real person of Lian Shen be treated like an ordinary person? Isn't his behavior nonsense?"
"It is indeed a bit incomprehensible. Even if the death penalty is relatively small, most people are sentenced to go to the battlefield to make up for their deeds. But to bring Master Lian Shen down to the same level as civilians naturally arouses the dissatisfaction of many people."
"It's not enough to make up for the mistakes."
Liu Jingtao seemed to have thought of something, and finally shook his head: "It's not enough. If he really unifies Qiantian and implements this system, there may be some hope, but he has done so now... In the future, he will want to ask the surrounding states
Development and expansion will probably be firmly opposed by local forces."
"This is also the reason why so far, few Master Lian Shen are willing to join Lingxiao City."
Lu and others added as he spoke: "Not long ago, he conquered Starlight City, and almost all the god-refining masters from all clans and families moved away. There are less than ten masters who have turned to him as the state leader."
"What can the god-refining elders in the sect say?"
"Of course I'm a little dissatisfied, but now that the Ancient Supreme Being has become the Supreme Elder of our Purgatory Sect, and the sect also has strict rules and regulations, and the Ancient Supreme Being is now at the height of his power, they haven't shown it yet."
Lu Bingxian explained.
"I'm better off, Mr. Zhang, but I attach great importance to the distinction between superior and inferior, the distinction between superior and inferior... I always believe that class is the best weapon to rule a place. Only when classes are clear, division of labor and cooperation, and everyone performs their duties
, in order to maintain the long-term prosperity of a force."
Liu Jingtao said, looking forward.
Before they knew it, they had arrived in front of a huge manor.
The manor was like a city, lying across their field of vision, and patrolling figures could be seen all around.
Liu Jingtao observed for a moment and quickly realized that these people were all demons...
They are all demon warriors.
For a moment, he couldn't help but think of something.
Could it be that throughout the ages, demon warriors have been intentionally reused to support a new class!?
Lu Bianxian noticed the gaze of the Supreme Elder and explained at the side: "It is said that the number of the Demon God's personal guards in ancient and modern times has been expanded again. It has now grown to 3,000 people. Of course, of these 3,000 people, only 1,000 have cultivated the body of the Demon God.
The rest."
"More than a thousand people..."
Liu Jingtao said: "I remember that there is a new equipment in Lingxiao City, called black steel armor, which has amazing defense. Demon warriors wearing this kind of black steel heavy armor have amazing defense, and their combat power is comparable to that of Ninggang Realm practitioners?"
"It's true."
Lu Bingxian was suddenly startled as he spoke.
Immediately afterwards, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
More than a thousand Ninggang realms!?
This kind of power...
It is already not inferior to their Purgatory Sect.
If all three thousand of the Demon God's personal guards could be trained to develop the Demon God's physique throughout the ages, the middle-level power of Lingxiao City would reach a level that would surpass that of the Purgatory Sect!
"I actually ignored this...it was too fast..."
"Demon warriors are known for their quick success. Demon warriors without demon essence and blood can be as good as refining qi and condensing power in three to five years. What's more, the ancient emperor always ordered to sweep away the demons in Xingzhou, and they almost killed all the demons in Xingzhou.
Yes, it is not strange to cultivate more than a thousand demon warriors with demon god bodies."
Liu Jingtao vaguely realized something.
Quick fix!
The goal throughout the ages has been quick success.
Quickly increase the number of people.
He won over the common people and had no shortage of soldiers.
Once he makes a call, those civilians who are grateful to him will not hesitate to become candidates for the Demon God's personal bodyguards.
The Demon God's bodyguards take shape very quickly. As the average physical fitness of each person increases, it takes almost three years for an ordinary person to build the body of a Demon God.
With the demon god's body supplemented by black steel equipment, the combat power of these personal guards is on par with Ning Gang.
How long does it take to train a Ning Gang Realm practitioner!?
Twenty years? Thirty years? Forty years?
How many resources will be consumed during this period?
With such a comparison, the difference between the two is immediately apparent.
"This ancient emperor is playing a very big game of chess. If you give him enough time..."
Liu Jingtao looked at the manor in front of him and hesitated for a moment.
This kind of planning from ancient to modern times can be called a conspiracy.
Having solved the shortcoming of the demonic nature being strong, the demon warriors indeed have great advantages over the cultivation system.
The growth rate is too fast.
After the ancient and modern demon warriors are further perfected together, what advantage will the cultivators have left?
What are the combat advantages of becoming a god and the true king of the soul?
The advantage of having twice the lifespan of a demon warrior?
Under this impetus, where will the future of Purgatory Sect go?
Is it to maintain the pride of a cultivator, maintain independence, and drift away from the past and present, or...
Put down your body, completely tie yourself to the past and present, shake this world, and re-establish a new order?
Liu Jingtao, as the Supreme Elder of the Purgatory Sect and the highest decision-maker, could not make up his mind for a while.
After a while, he finally decided to wait until he met Gu Jinlai and understood his true plan.
At that moment, a group of people arrived at the gate of the manor.
After receiving the news, Gu Jinlai had already come out to welcome him. When he saw Liu Jingtao, the Supreme Elder of the Purgatory Sect in the True Lord Realm of Yuanshen, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Sir Liu is here, but I am not welcome from afar, so why not?"
Please forgive me, Supreme Elder."
"You're welcome, Your Majesty the Ancient One. After you conquer Lingxiao City... and establish the foundation of Xingzhou Noda, you must have many things to deal with. This visit is already considered presumptuous. I hope Your Majesty the Ancient One will not find me troublesome."
Liu Jingtao said with a smile.
"It's no trouble. Liu Taishang has come to my humble residence. The whole city of Lingxiao is ablaze with flowers. Please come in quickly."
From ancient times to modern times, we can use empty hands to guide you.
The atmosphere between both parties was full of harmony and friendship.
