Two years is not a short period of time. However, no one expected that Xiao Yan's retreat would last like this...
According to the expectations of Yao Lao and others, Xiao Yan has Bodhicitta and the Bodhi Pill to help him, and it should not be too difficult to break through to semi-sainthood. Although the rumors that one can instantly become a saint by refining Bodhicitta are a bit exaggerated.
, after all, any huge and pure energy will always take time for people to absorb.
However, this also proves the power of bodhicitta from another aspect. Even if it is not the so-called instant sainthood, it only takes less than a year for Xiao Yan to reach the peak of the nine-turn Douzun.
In time, it should be enough to successfully break through the barrier.
But the reality was not in line with everyone's expectations. As everyone waited, time passed slowly. Spring passed and autumn came. The huge stone gate before Xiao Yan's retreat was covered with lush weeds. The top of the stone gate
, is also covered with green moss.
This place has become a forbidden area of Xingyun Pavilion during this year. Except for a few people, even some guest elders in the pavilion are prohibited from entering.
When a year passed, everyone had no choice but to suppress some anxiety in their hearts. No matter how anxious they were about this kind of thing, it would not help. But fortunately, what made everyone feel relieved was that Yao Lao was still able to pass through the numbers.
The hundred-foot-long mountain sensed an extremely obscure aura deep in the mountain. This aura was as thin as a gossamer, but it was not weak. Instead, it seemed as if it had entered a state of transformation...
Being able to feel the aura of Xiao Yan that still exists undoubtedly makes everyone less worried. At this time, it is impossible to interfere with Xiao Yan. Therefore, everyone can only do the most helpless thing, which is
Wait quietly.
During the time that Xiao Yan was in seclusion, Zhongzhou was quite turbulent. The revenge of the Soul Palace did not come so early, so Xingyun Pavilion also seized the time. Under the control of Yao Lao and Feng Zun, it became more and more...
grow.
Many powerful people came here because of the reputation. Especially when the news spread in Xingyun Pavilion that Yao Lao could refine the Bodhi Pill, some extremely low-key Dou Zun peak powerhouses couldn't bear it, and finally secretly
Became the guest elder of Xingyun Pavilion.
The temptation of Bodhi Pill is too great for them, enough to make them sell some of their time and freedom.
Of course, it is impossible for Yao Lao to give Bodhi Pills to these guest elders who come here because of their reputation. And these powerful people are not stupid. They also understand that there are no such good things in the world, so they usually look for them.
I will try my best to make some contributions to Xingyun Pavilion, hoping that I can gain the trust of Yao Lao, get a Bodhi Pill, and then break through to the coveted level...
Under this virtuous cycle, the strength of Xingyun Pavilion has undoubtedly increased by leaps and bounds, and it has become a tyrannical existence in Zhongzhou that is not weaker than the long-established forces such as Tianming Sect.
However, in the face of the skyrocketing power and reputation of Xingyun Pavilion, Tianming Sect, which had some grievances with Xingyun Pavilion and Xiao Yan, was a little unable to sit still. Tianming Sect acted domineeringly and expanded its power everywhere. In the past,
The Xingyun Pavilion's sphere of influence is not large, and there is no conflict between the two. However, as the Xingyun Pavilion's sphere of influence becomes wider and wider, it will eventually gradually intersect with the Tianming Sect's sphere of influence. In this way, an explosion will inevitably occur.
conflict.
An old force and a new force, the conflict between the two is indeed quite fierce.
After a period of confrontation between the two sides, there was a win or loss for each other, and neither could do anything to the other. However, this situation did not last long before it was declared to be broken, because the Tianming Sect suddenly announced that it would cooperate with the Glacier Valley, Fenglei Pavilion and other
A somewhat famous sect in Zhongzhou formed an alliance and was known as the "Styx Alliance"!
This alliance has undoubtedly greatly increased the power of the Tianming Sect. The gathering of powerful men from many parties has caught the Xingyun Pavilion by surprise, and its sphere of influence has also shrunk a lot. However, facing this situation, Yao Lao and others
There is no panic. Xingyun Pavilion has developed too fast. Although its sphere of influence is vast, it is a bit frivolous and unstable. After this war, it is a good time to rectify it. A fat man with a swollen body is not what Yao Lao needs.
, what they want is a capable person who can take care of both ends and can kill with one blow when encountering the enemy.
Therefore, facing the shrinking of Xingyun Pavilion's sphere of influence, Yao Lao and others did not organize a major counterattack, but kept retreating. With the retreat of Xingyun Pavilion, the defense line shrank, resulting in the defensive strength of the cities behind.
It is getting stronger and stronger, and many Xingyun Pavilion guests have taken action to build space wormholes in these cities, directly linking all these important cities together.
In this way, any party in trouble can quickly provide support, which makes the Xingyun Pavilion's sphere of influence become more and more powerful. However, some of the attacks of the "Styx Alliance" are difficult to achieve any significant results. On the contrary,
In this kind of attack, the losses are not small.
This stalemate lasted for several months, and the "Styx Alliance" had to give up the continued occupation and gradually withdraw. Anyway, the effect of establishing power this time had been achieved, and they did not want to really break up with Xingyun Pavilion.
After all, everyone knows that it is a bloody battle. If we really fight, it is still unknown who will win.
With the temporary end of this war, the reputation of Xingyun Pavilion has once again exploded. Being able to single-handedly compete with the alliance formed by forces such as Tianming Sect and Glacier River Valley, this kind of thing is still happening in Zhongzhou.
It is quite a rare thing, and regarding this, the "Styx Alliance" is also quite depressed. Although it has grabbed some territory, it seems that it finally helped Xingyun Pavilion to promote it...
...
As the war was temporarily peaceful, Zhongzhou was also calm for a while. However, this calm did not last long, as a piece of news that came from an unknown source set off a storm.
The protagonist of this news is the Spirit Tribe, one of the eight ancient tribes. As early as when Xiao Yan came out of the Sky Tomb, he knew the news about the sudden closure of the Spirit Tribe space. However, at that time, this news was only circulated among some big people.
Among the forces, no one knew what happened, so the news never spread.
But not long ago, some strong men discovered that the space of the spirit race had been opened again. When these strong men went to detect it, they found that the spirit world was now empty, no one was there, and even
, even the descendants of the Spirit Tribe disappeared without a trace...
Looking at the empty and unpopular space, those strong men were stunned. Immediately, a chill surged from the soles of their feet to their foreheads. This thing was so weird. In the spirit world, plus the spirit race
The descendants of the country have a population of millions at least. However, so many people have just evaporated out of thin air?
When this incident reached the ears of the other tribes, it undoubtedly caused a huge shock. Each tribe immediately sent strong men to the spirit world. However, no matter how they searched, they never found half of the spirit tribe.
People, looking like that, just like the spirit race, seemed to have completely disappeared during the period of time when the space was closed...
The Spirit Tribe is one of the eight ancient tribes. Although it has been gradually declining in recent years, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how declining the Spirit Tribe is, it can still squeeze into the ranks of the super powers in Zhongzhou. If it is said to be the Tu
As for the tribe, looking at Zhongzhou, I am afraid that even forces like the Ancient Clan would be hard-pressed to wipe out all the people of a race without anyone noticing...
Of course, in addition to the talk of being slaughtered, there are also people who speculate that the spirit tribe may move to another self-created space. However, such a large-scale migration is obviously impossible to hide from the top experts in Zhongzhou, but even they
They have never felt such a movement. With the strength of the Spirit Clan, how could it be possible to quietly take away all the millions of descendants?
In any case, the disappearance of the Spirit Tribe has caused a huge stir in Zhongzhou, and all forces are constantly speculating on the cause of the matter.
When the outside world speculated wildly, there were huge differences among the ancient races because of this matter. These ancient races knew each other relatively well, but they were not allies. They could only be said to be.
They are like enemies and like friends. After all, these races have attacked each other when they were strong, so they cannot be said to be the same.
Outsiders were confused by this matter, but they had their own guesses. A long time ago, a war broke out among the eight ancient tribes, and the cause of the war was the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!
It is said that the legacy of the last Dou Emperor warrior holds the secret of reaching Dou Emperor. For this secret, the eight ancient tribes fought fiercely, and finally the complete Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was divided into eight. In other words,
If anyone wants to get the treasure left by the ancient Emperor Tuoshe, he must collect eight pieces of ancient jade, and all tribes regard ancient jade as more important than their lives, so naturally they cannot hand it over for no reason, so...
Some people speculate that the disappearance of the Spirit Clan this time may have been caused by people from the ancient race. Their purpose was to obtain the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in the hands of the Spirit Clan!
But after this speculation was raised, it also caused some doubts. Although the Spiritual Clan has declined, its foundation is still there. If they want to kill all their clan without anyone noticing, among the six remaining clans, can they
