Yunlong promised to come back to take Zhao Kuangyin over ten years later. He had two considerations:
First, we need to consider the family ties of Zhao Kuangyin and his family. It is too inhumane to have their children taken away as soon as they are born;
Second, Zhao Kuangyin will be the emperor in the future. He is restricted by heaven and cannot cultivate immortality. Otherwise, not only himself, but also Yunlong will be punished by heaven.
The only emperor of all time, Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, was punished by God because he did not want to die like a mortal, practiced the art of immortality, and wanted to continue to be emperor. He eventually died and his country was destroyed. This can be said to be a lesson learned from the past.
Therefore, Yunlong was not prepared to teach Zhao Kuangyin the art of immortality, Taoism and immortality, because it is best to start practicing Taoism from elementary school, because shortly after a child is born, it is when the body and mind are the purest and have not been completely polluted by the world.
The innate Qi and simple mind make it the most suitable for practicing Taoism.
Moreover, Yunlong's own family knew his own family affairs. He was not a person suitable to be the emperor's teacher. You must know that children are the simplest, and the influence of the people around them from childhood is huge on children. He did not want Zhao Kuangyin to influence him
He became so devoted to seeking the truth that he no longer wanted to be the emperor. That would be shooting himself in the foot.
The reason why we have to wait ten years is that after ten years, I believe that with Zhao Kuangyin's talent, he will be able to understand right and wrong and have his own thoughts. Then we will take him up the mountain and teach him some mortal skills and the most important thing about governing the country.
This way will help him unify the world and become the emperor in the future.
After leaving Zhao Kuangyin's house, Yunlong had nothing to do and decided to go to Shiwanda Mountain to collect some medicinal materials and alchemy materials.
These 100,000 Mountains are unusual. They are a bad land in southern Xinjiang. It is located in the extreme south of the vast land of China. Legend has it that it is a fragment left over from the ancient times. Therefore, it is rich in spiritual energy, but it is uninhabited. The poor mountains and rivers are rich in food.
Poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. The most obvious boundary with the Central Plains is in the extreme south, where tall and majestic mountains suddenly rise up like flat ground, one after another, towering into the clouds, dividing the north from the south.
Since ancient times, few people have traveled to the southern Xinjiang from the fertile land of the Central Plains. The reasons are, firstly, the steep roads, secondly, the presence of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, too much miasma and bad water, and the land is too barren for farming.
Later, I don’t know when it started, but the world began to spread that in the endless mountains of southern Xinjiang, there were all kinds of barbaric alien races, who drank hair and drank blood, were cruel and easy to kill, and among them were terrifying monsters that could eat raw human flesh. Since then, no one has dared to go there.
On the contrary, the world is in shock, worrying day and night whether those alien races will suddenly escape from those mountains one day, invade the Central Plains, and harm the world.
However, in the past thousand years, there have been no rumors of barbarians harming people. Although occasionally there have been reports of strange alien-looking monsters appearing in the southern border areas, most of them ended without any cure and were gradually forgotten by people.
.Today, even among people living on the border of southern Xinjiang, the only thing that mothers say when putting their children to bed at night is, "If you don't obey me, those barbarian monsters will come to catch you." On weekdays, these words
No one would ever think of whether these alien races in the mountains really existed, let alone the Central Plains thousands of miles away.
In fact, Yunlong learned by chance that some prehistoric remnants did survive in the hundreds of thousands of mountains in southern Xinjiang, but their number was very small and they rarely hurt people. Because the appearance of these prehistoric races was different from that of human races, so
Being regarded as monsters, it can be said that everyone calls for beatings. If a cultivator finds a lone person, the better ones will be caught and imprisoned and become slaves; the more common ones will be killed, their skin will be peeled off with cramps, and the inner elixir of the soul will be taken out.
, as a material for alchemy and weapon training.
They absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to grow, and they have prehistoric blood. It can be said that their whole body is full of treasures. They are coveted by cultivators. They can't hide from them at ordinary times, let alone harm others. These rumors are caused by cultivators and those who are frightened by the appearance of the survivors.
It is caused by ignorant people spreading rumors.
Thanks to the fact that there are still a few masters among these prehistoric remnants who have survived since ancient times, even Yunlong cannot measure their true strength, only knowing that it is unfathomable. Moreover, it is said that there are some human shamans who live together with them and rely on each other.
Awed by such a deterrent force, the Cultivation World has not launched a large-scale crackdown on them. The remnants of the prehistoric era also have headaches with the large number of people in the Cultivation World, so they also turn a blind eye to the occasional "missing" clan members.
From one perspective, the two sides are basically on a par with each other and have been content for so many years.
In addition to these remnants of the ancient times, Shiwanda Mountain is rich in rare and exotic animals, exotic flowers, and rare minerals. I don’t know if it is because of the fragments of the ancient times. Although the aura here is abundant, it is full of a kind of violent wildness.
, which is completely different from the usual docile and gentle spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so although the people, animals, flowers, and grass living here are more precious and spiritual than other places, they are all aggressive, and the deeper they go into the Shiwan Mountain, these
The denser the violent spiritual energy device is, the more powerful and ferocious the monsters and monsters that survive during the period are. Therefore, those cultivators who come to collect medicinal materials but have insufficient cultivation will stay on the periphery, and only masters can go deep into it.
Although it is very difficult for practitioners of Buddhism and Taoism to survive here, those practitioners of demons and demons can live a prosperous life here.
Because the demon clan's physical body is strong, its meridians are more resilient. It is easier to absorb these violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth and can withstand it, and the prehistoric aura in it can better stimulate the wildness and potential of the demon clan.
In the ancient times, the demon clan was the protagonist of the world and a great clan. However, in the subsequent battle between the lich and the witch clan, which was transformed from the essence and blood of the Great God Pangu and the heavy turbid air of the earth, both sides suffered losses. Then, with the support of the saint,
The human race took advantage of the situation and became the new protagonist of the world, while the monster race gradually declined.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even so, the demon tribe still maintains a considerable influence in the human world. The environment of this hundred thousand mountains is suitable for the demon tribe to survive, and it has become the base camp of the demon tribe in the human world, gathering nearly half of the human world.
The demon clan is headed by the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance. The leader of the alliance calls himself the Great Sage of Splitting the Sky. His identity is mysterious and no one knows his roots. His cultivation is unfathomable. There are lions, tigers, wolves, bears, monkeys, and foxes under him.
The eight elders of Niu and Shu are all old demons with thousands of years of cultivation. Together with more subordinates and little demons, there are nearly ten thousand demon clans. They are huge in power and can stand on their own in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. They belong to the three major
One of the forces.
The second largest force is the cultivators of the demonic path. Since the cultivation of the demonic path progresses quickly in the early stage, the magic formula is simple and powerful, and refining magic weapons requires souls and blood essence. If you kill people outside to collect souls and blood essence, it will be easy to compete with the cultivators of the righteous path.
There was a conflict, so they had no choice but to venture to the Shiwan Mountains to hunt monsters and collect materials.
However, there are abundant spiritual energy in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, geniuses and treasures, countless creatures and monsters, almost endless. Demonic cultivators have tasted the sweetness, so naturally they cannot give up. They would rather risk absorbing the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth, becoming possessed, and risking the rupture of their meridians.
Search for treasure all over the mountain.
Human greed is endless. Over time, after countless lives were sacrificed, the demonic cultivators spent their blood to sum up a set of techniques that can barely suppress the impact of the crazy spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the body. Central, east, west,
The five devil sects in the south and north each sent a group of people to garrison in the Hundred Thousand Mountains to collect genius treasures and monster souls and blood. They rotated every nine years, so the devil sect became the second largest one in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Big force.
The third largest force among them is the remnants of the prehistoric times who have lived in the hundreds of thousands of mountains for generations as mentioned above.
The three major forces stand together and take care of each other. No one is willing to be the first to break the balance; that will only benefit others, so this pattern has been maintained for thousands of years.
