In the afternoon of that day, strong men from the Lu family who had been in retreat or training nearby had gradually returned.
After the fall of the Human Emperor, although the Lu family slowly declined, they had to admit that a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. Compared to those ordinary second-rate families, the Lu family was still much stronger.
Especially the policy adopted by the Great Elder, keeping a low profile and gradually hiding his strength, has also given many people outside the illusion that the Lu family is really in decline.
In fact, this is not the case. There are already more than a dozen saints who have returned in the past two days. Including several elders of the Lu family and the saints who stayed behind, there are already almost twenty people.
And this is just the beginning. According to the great elder, when all the masters of the Lu family return, plus the Hidden Dragon Dragon King and the four dragon kings of the southeast, northwest, and others, the number of saints in the Lu family may reach fifty! Fifty people
, it doesn’t sound like much, but it is definitely a terrifying force to the extreme, because they are all saints! The strength of saints is beyond imagination. Any saint can destroy all the ancient tribes in the world, and they can take over the land near the sea.
Cover your hands with clouds and make rain.
Once they unite, it will be so terrifying.
However, the top families in the land near the sea are stronger. The great elder also said that the number of saints in those top families is greater. For example, the Huangfu family, if all the saints were gathered together, they might be able to exceed a hundred people.
Of course, the land near the sea is very large. It used to have five continents and ten countries, but beyond the five continents and ten countries, there are still many remote places that have not yet been controlled by them.
There may be a very good place for training, or there may be a secret ancient place suitable for retreat, so they are all distributed in various places near the sea, and it is not easy to summon them all at once.
"The Lu family was completely comparable to top families such as the Huangfu family before. When we were at our peak, the number of saints also exceeded a hundred."
In the main hall, the great elder sighed softly.
When the Human Emperor was at its peak, it was also the peak of the Lu family. Later, when the Human Emperor fell, the Lu family was targeted, and many saints who had followed the Human Emperor died inexplicably.
Because of this, the Great Elder had to hide a lot of powerful people in the Holy Realm, secretly placing them in various ancient places or other places for training, and at the same time temporarily letting them leave the Lu family to avoid being targeted.
"The number of saints is one thing, but the strength of the same saints should also be different, right?"
Lu Tianlong asked.
"yes."
The great elder nodded.
"It's like the realm of immortality or the realm of void."
"The realm of the void is divided into the early stage of the void, the middle stage of the void, the late stage of the void, and the peak of the void. There is also a semi-saint level above it."
"After reaching the Holy Realm, due to their different talents and the different time of entering the Holy Realm, their strength is also very different."
The great elder said: "Of course, in the past, even in the entire land near the sea, the number of saints was very small. Even now, although the number of saints sounds large, compared with all the people in the entire land near the sea, they are just a handful.
"
"Therefore, there is no strict division of levels above the holy realm. Generally speaking, it can be divided into junior saints, intermediate saints, senior saints, and peak saints."
"Beyond the peak saint is the emperor realm."
This is similar to what Lu Tianlong imagined. There is no strict classification between each level, but only a rough distinction.
People who have just entered the holy realm are naturally junior saints, and people like the Great Elder should be high-level saints, or between high-level saints and peak saints.
The Great Elder continued: "Touching the Imperial Realm can be called half-step of the Imperial Realm, just like the Zuo Protector of the Black Dragon Clan whom we met before. He is at this level, and his power already contains the Imperial Way."
"Then above the Imperial Realm, is the Imperial Realm?"
Someone asked next to me.
The Great Elder nodded and said: "Yes, above the Imperial Realm is the Imperial Realm."
"Strictly speaking, in fact, there were three emperors and five emperors in ancient China, and some of that information is still used to divide the boundaries of the land near the sea."
This statement aroused everyone's interest, and the little demon smiled and said: "Great Elder, will there be three emperors and five emperors in the land near the sea in the future?"
Although he knew it was a joke, the great elder's expression was serious.
He actually nodded seriously and said: "I also discussed this issue with the Human Emperor. The Human Emperor once said that when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors appear in the land near the sea, the troubled times will be ended."
After finishing speaking, he thought for a while and added: "Of course, this was what the Emperor said casually at the time, and there is no record of it, so there is no way to know whether it is true or false."
Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?
End the chaos?
Lu Tianlong shrugged and did not express his opinion. The general trend of the world is that if it is divided for a long time, it will unite and unite for a long time. This is the royal way. It is unlikely that the emergence of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will end the troubled times.
Just like the ancient tribes in the world in ancient times, it is said that after the emergence of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, they reached the peak and once created brilliance.
But later on, the supreme evil spirits in troubled times still appeared, and many evildoers appeared.
It was not until later that a series of melees caused the decline of the ancient tribes in the world. The strong men at that time had no choice but to open up the realm of the sky, and used the realm of the sky as a springboard to reach the land near the sea.
Who can guarantee that such a situation will not occur in the future?
Perhaps, it is very possible that the land near the sea is not the final point for practitioners.
"Great Elder!"
At this moment, a saint from the Lu family suddenly ran in quickly outside the hall.
I know this person, Lu Tianlong, who is responsible for intelligence collection. He has arranged secret agents all over the land near the sea. If there is any trouble, they will get the news as soon as possible.
"Is there any action from the Huangfu family?"
Seeing the sage's solemn expression, Lu Tianlong immediately raised his eyebrows slightly.
"yes!"
The saint nodded quickly and said to Lu Tianlong and the Great Elder: "Just now, Emperor Huangfu gave the order to start gathering the strong men of the Huangfu family to launch an attack on the Chu family in eight days!"
Sure enough, he still came.
Lu Tianlong couldn't help but clenched his fists.
The Black Dragon Clan said before that they would visit the Lu family in ten days, but now two days have passed.
Now Emperor Huangfu has given the order to attack the Chu family in eight days. This is in line with the Black Dragon clan.
They are doing a joint operation to make the Chu family and the Lu family be attacked at the same time, so that they cannot help each other to face the enemy together! "Trouble!"
Lu Tianlong turned to look at the great elder, his brows knitting together involuntarily.
The Lu family still has some foundations, and relying on the power accumulated by the previous Human Emperor, they might be able to fight against the Black Dragon clan.
But the Chu family cannot do that. They have really declined over the years. According to their strength, there is absolutely no way they can fight against the Huangfu family.
What's more, if the Huangfu family and Emperor Huangfu really start fighting, the Chu family will definitely be defeated!
