In terms of area, Lizhou is not that big and cannot compare with any high-class or medium-sized state.
In terms of population, Lizhou with more than 24 million people is no more than a medium-sized state.
But this does not mean that Lizhou is weak.
Due to being isolated overseas and struggling with the sea all year round, coupled with the rampant banditry on overseas islands, everyone in Lizhou practiced martial arts and the folk customs were fierce.
The unique environment creates Lizhou’s unique cultural atmosphere.
Many people, and even many forces, do not seek stable development. Instead, they advocate doing something big, changing classes, and achieving it in one step.
The spirit of adventure and rebellion pervades Lizhou people.
Because of this, no one in Lizhou obeys anyone.
During the long-term struggle, Lizhou formed a pattern of island owners appointed by Daqian, three major families, two major sects, and six forces.
Each of the six directions has a True Lord of Yuanshen sitting in charge.
These six families are usually married to each other, each family is related to each other, and they fight endlessly. They are eager to seize the opportunity to annex each other to make themselves stronger.
And because of the foundation of mutual marriage, once a powerful enemy invades, they can often unite well.
The arrival of Lingxiao City's ultimatum will undoubtedly put Lizhou in a huge crisis.
At this time, the residence of the state leader Lei Jie.
Among the three major sects, Ouyang Yue of the Ouyang family, Ding Junshan of the Ding family, Lu Qilin of the Lu family, Yuan Zhenhai of the Tianhai clan, Shen Aofeng of the Storm sect, and the five true masters of the souls gathered together, plus The state leader Lei Jie presided over the meeting.
The True Monarchs of the Yuanshen among the six major forces sat together again.
"I don't think there's anything to say."
The one who was speaking at this time was Ouyang Yue from the Ouyang Family: "It's not like we have never dealt with top forces, and we even secretly swallowed a lot of goods that originally belonged to Longque Villa, but what can he do? There are hundreds of people between us. In the Caspian Sea, their armies simply can’t get through. If only a few and a dozen masters dare to go deep into it alone, hey... the many masters trained by our major forces will be kept safe so that they will never come back."
This somewhat feminine-looking True Lord Yuanshen is less than a hundred years old.
He maintains the appearance of a young man in his twenties.
Practitioners of Baodan can theoretically live two hundred years, and those who practice God and above, especially Yuanshen Zhenjun, have almost turned this theory into reality.
Most of the true kings who died at the end of their lives had a life span of about 180 years.
Ouyang Yue, who is less than a hundred years old, is indeed considered young in the field.
"Lingxiao City is not a weakling. You can see their strength from the fact that they were able to destroy Longque Villa. Especially not long ago, they also annexed Huang Tiandao and showed a tendency to dominate the south of Tianhe. With such a powerful opponent, I I don’t want to be enemies with them.”
Ding Junshan said slowly: "It's just that I'm dissatisfied with their attitude."
"manner."
Shen Aofeng nodded: "I have the same idea. In ancient and modern times, if a kind person comes to ask for our help, we don't mind forming a good relationship with him. But now, with such an ultimatum posture, How can he take us Lizhou seriously? We are not his subordinates. I really think we are afraid of them."
"good."
Yuan Zhenhai also echoed: "We can occupy Lizhou and exclude the twelve island owners from overseas because we never show weakness to others. Now, an ultimatum from ancient times to the present will make us surrender. From now on, we have What prestige can you lead your children across the East China Sea again?"
Soon, four of the six parties had expressed their attitudes.
but……
Among the six major forces, the strongest is actually the state leader Lei Jie.
Not only does he have the strength of a top true king, but he also has thirteen great monks who transform gods under his command, one person is equivalent to the strength of two families.
When the Ouyang Family, Ding Family, Tianhai Gang, and Baofeng Clan spoke, they also looked at the state leader.
"I don't care about these points."
Lei Jie said in a deep voice: "I am only concerned about whether any of you took action in Jiangzhou's attack on the Demon God's personal guards in Lingxiao City?"
"Leizhou Lord is joking, the state Lord doesn't know if we have left Lizhou, right?"
Ouyang Yue said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, I haven't set foot in Jiangzhou for several years. I wonder what changes have taken place in Jiangzhou after it fell into the hands of Lingxiao City."
Ding Junshan also responded with a smile.
Several other True Lords of Yuanshen also have a similar attitude.
"Really? Then, can you all explain to me where the three or five additional war weapons named 'swords' in your family come from?"
Lei Jie pressed.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several True Lords of Yuanshen changed slightly at the same time.
After a while, Ouyang Yue smiled and said: "The island owners of the twelve overseas islands seized sixty sharp swords and heavy cannons. They use some of them themselves, and naturally some of them have to be awarded. We bought them from them.
Goods, the proceeds of fair and equitable transactions.”
Several others also nodded.
"Really? Then when Lingxiao City sends people over, how about you use this reason to deal with Lingxiao City?"
Lei Jie said.
Several other people looked at each other and quickly understood what he meant.
Considering their unique environment and strength in Lizhou, several people quickly agreed: "Okay."
"If Lingxiao City still wants to take away the things we bought from the Twelve Islands overseas, it would be too much bullying. If you bully us like this, don't blame us for fighting back."
"I believe that the man from Lingxiao City can see the situation clearly from past and present times. It is the Twelve Islands in the East China Sea that offended him, not us. He wants revenge. Even if he goes to the Twelve Islands in the East China Sea to take action, we will never stop him."
"That's true. However, since he has won many battles in recent years, he is probably arrogant. We have refuted his face. We must be careful that his troops are in danger. He must be prepared for battles.
."
Several people talked and quickly finalized the matter.
The meeting continued for a while, and soon, several people left one by one.
Watching them leave, Lei Jie frowned.
People from Lizhou have been living overseas for nearly a hundred years. They have become accustomed to this kind of life where the inland states have nothing to do with them, and they have gradually lost their respect for the inland states.
But actually...
If it weren't for civil strife, would the inland states have been forced to leave the states only a little bit?
Lingxiao City could destroy Longque Villa first and then merge with Huang Tiandao. Even a demon king died in his hands. The attitude of these families...
After thinking for a moment, Lei Jie called out: "Lei Yuan."
A middle-aged man with a state of transformation came in: "Uncle."
"I will give you the authority to mobilize the hidden thunder guards and find out which family is responsible for the Jiangzhou incident."
Lei Jie said and added: "Do it secretly and don't let other companies notice it."
"Investigating the matter in Jiangzhou?"
Lei Yuan was shocked: "Uncle, can we..."
Lei Jie shook his head: "It's just a precaution."
He waved his hand: "Go ahead and be careful."
"yes."
Lei Yuan responded with a solemn expression and quickly retreated.
…
The matter of Lizhou has not been known to anyone since ancient times.
It’s okay to be informed.
Lingxiao City must launch a thunderous operation against Lizhou to shock the surrounding forces and make them realize the price they have to pay for offending Lingxiao City.
So, just prepare for war.
The final difference is nothing more than whether to use conventional combat or over-range combat.
…
Training room.
From ancient times to modern times, he is sitting cross-legged in the center.
In front of him were placed a large number of Kung Fu books.
Some of these classics come from Longque Villa, some from Huang Tiandao, and some from Lengyue Sect, Purgatory Sect and Huangquan Sect.
The reason why there are even martial arts books from the Lengyue Sect, the Purgatory Sect, and the Huangquan Sect is because these types of books are not cultivation methods, but the methods of heavenly masters and demon warriors' methods.
At this time, while "looking through" these books, he was thinking about a question.
"Whether it's the Great Sun Nine Refining Contemplation Method or the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method, everyone's progress is too slow."
He did a little calculation and found that so far, among the tens of thousands of Demon God's personal guards, no one has been able to practice the Great Sun Demon God's body-refining method to the level of greatness and derive the Great Sun True Demon Body.
As for the concept of the Nine Refinements of the Great Sun...
Just one Zhang Lihuo successfully stepped from the Sixth Refinement to the Seventh Refinement and became a Heavenly King.
But in fact, Zhang Lihuo was able to break through. He may have helped him to reshape the core of the sun, but the step into Tianjun was basically Zhang Lihuo's own accumulation.
This can be seen from Zhang Yukun, Si Tianyan, Guan Xingyun, Xiang Fengyun, and other heavenly masters who have modified the concept of the Nine Refinements of the Great Sun.
Their strength has been improved due to the reshaping of the core of the sun. As for the strength of their spiritual consciousness...
The growth rate is not much faster.
Similar to Xiang Fengyun, a great heavenly master whose core of visualization is quite different from that of the Great Sun. After turning to practice the Nine Refinements of the Great Sun visualization method, his cultivation level dropped a lot. At that time, he fell into the realm of a great heavenly master. Until not long ago
, and then relied on the original experience to be able to repair it.
"This situation is actually extremely normal."
From ancient times to the present, I understand in my heart.
How much pure light did he use to perfect the Nine Refinements of the Great Sun?
Dozens.
Converted into hundreds of years of hard study and enlightenment.
Although the effect of hundreds of years of hard work behind closed doors is less effective than the exchanges and inspiration collisions between other heavenly masters, some heavenly masters can even get the opportunity to fall into enlightenment and improve their progress, etc.
but……
Ordinary people who want to cultivate the Nine Refinements of the Great Sun to perfection should take at least two hundred years.
Even if the core of the sun is replaced, it can be shortened to a hundred years at best.
If the standard is lowered from the ninth refinement to the seventh refinement, it will still take several decades.
This is without considering accidents, talent, or encountering any bottlenecks.
But decades...
He can't wait.
"So……"
The eyes of ancient and modern people were withdrawn from these books: "After two days, I have learned these eighty-four heavenly master methods and thirty-nine demon warrior cultivation methods."
The technique is there.
Clear light...
After breaking through Huang Tiandao and killing a large number of sinful people, even if it was subsequently consumed in all aspects, there would still be dozens of Dao Dao left.
Dozens of steps, adding the eternal oven to perfection is obviously not enough.
but……
"Everyone in the world thinks that only the methods of the past deserve to be superb and reach the pinnacle. But I come from a place where Blue Star pays attention to the progress of the times, and I am better than my predecessors."
There was a gleam in his eyes from ancient times to the present: "I will use my wisdom to create an epoch-making Celestial Master's method and a body-refining method that is both powerful and fast in cultivation."
