Chapter 955: Fifty years of submerged cultivation in the blink of an eye
As more and more talents are exported by the Yellow Turban Leaders, and their status and influence among the princes in various places are getting higher and higher, the momentum of the Yellow Turban Leaders has also increased, and they already have the huge momentum of the leaders of the princes.
.
Regarding this situation, the princes from all over the country were naturally dissatisfied, but they had no choice but to do anything. The gap in strength was so great that they did not even have the courage to speak out, for fear of offending the Yellow Turban Leaders and being repaired.
Lei Hu didn't have time or time to think about it. The princes everywhere were too passionate.
As Jingzhou was captured by Yuan Shao, Sichuan and Shu fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and Jiangdong was controlled by Xuzhou Liu Bei and Huainan Lu Bu, the entire Han territory entered a rare state of peace.
Under the suppression of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Leader, although the princes from various places were ambitious, they did not dare to continue to make troubles, and instead focused on the development and growth of their own territories.
In just a few years of operation, the entire territory of the Han Dynasty was flourishing.
Not only that, the troops of Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were located in the frontier fortress, made the neighboring foreign tribes miserable. Not to mention invading the territory of the Han Dynasty, it was already quite difficult to maintain the tribes in the harsh environment outside the fortress.
.
Under such circumstances, the three major princes actually achieved a stronger deterrent force against the foreign races outside the Great Wall when the Han Empire had barely collapsed.
In such an environment, Lei Hu, a Qianxiu cultivator, benefited greatly. He felt that his luck was falling from the sky, and it was becoming more and more powerful day by day. His own cultivation strength also increased with the tide.
I thought that it would take hundreds of years to go from the middle stage to the late stage of Immortal.
But in fact, it took less than fifty years to break through in one fell swoop and feel the even stronger repulsive power coming to the Kyushu barrier.
Obviously, the cultivation level of the late immortals has almost reached the limit of the Nine Provinces Barrier, which can tolerate difficulties.
Fifty years was not a long time for Lei Hu, who was devoted to cultivation. It only felt like it passed by in the blink of an eye. He didn't have much feeling about it, but he felt that his cultivation was getting better and better.
While I have a vague understanding of the environment outside the Kyushu barrier, I also have some expectations.
Being king and dominating within the Kyushu Barrier really means nothing. If you want to achieve more rapid and rapid improvement, you can only achieve it in a broader and more competitive environment.
During the latent cultivation, Nanhua Taoist slowly told some of the situations outside the barrier.
In the four major continents, gods, Buddhas, fairies, demons and monsters are rampant, and there are many kinds of creatures. There are fairy mansions where immortals and gods reside, and there are also harsh places occupied by demons, ghosts and monsters.
The struggle between the weak and the strong is fierce, and the living environment of creatures is quite harsh. No matter which race they are, they all live in an environment where fairies, gods, demons and ghosts are rampant.
It is not uncommon for people to sit at home behind closed doors and have disasters come from the sky.
Even in the heaven above the nine heavens, Lingshan, the holy land of Western Buddhism, there are people with great supernatural powers who are in charge. It is still not as safe as the mountain. From time to time, there are extremely powerful provocateurs.
Like the heaven above the nine heavens, it suffered from the seven saints' attack on the heaven more than two hundred years ago.
Seven Saints? Defeating Heaven?
Lei Hu immediately thought of the monkey and the six demon saints who had sworn sworn sworn orders with the monkey.
It's a pity that Nan Hua Taoist is really hateful. After he said it once, he never said more about the Seven Saints' Conquest of Heaven. No matter how Lei Hu tried to insinuate, he just refused to speak. When he was asked too many questions, he said he couldn't be distracted.
Lei Hu was scolded severely in the tone of a senior.
This old guy, are you sure he's not trying to whet your appetite?
…
Of course, what Nanhua Taoist said is not all cruelty from the outside. The four major continents are full of spiritual energy, and there are countless various methods of practice. The chances of ordinary beings stepping into the threshold of practice are greatly increased.
That is to say, it happens from time to time, like a pig's trotter in a fairy tale who has bad luck, accidentally gets the opportunity to step on the threshold of spiritual practice, and then rises all the way up.
According to Nan Hua Taoist, there are not a few such lucky creatures. As long as you have enough luck and are not unlucky enough to encounter those crazy monsters and monsters, you can basically reach the immortal realm.
When he said this, Nan Hua Taoist glanced at Lei Hu with deep meaning, and said with a leisurely smile that Lei Hu had accumulated so much luck that even ordinary living beings would not have to worry about not being able to achieve the status of immortals outside the realm of Kyushu.
Bit.
Of course, having great luck is not necessarily a good thing. Nan Hua Taoist also vaguely said that some demons and monsters like to capture creatures with good luck and use blood sacrifices and other horrific means to deprive the creatures of their good luck and good fortune.
Extremely cruel and terrifying.
Lei Hu understood the implication of this guy's words. Didn't he just tell him to practice hard and wait until his strength reaches the golden immortal level that is enough to protect himself, so that he can first get the Kyushu barrier and see the outside world?
Why does he need to bother reminding him?
If the cultivation level is not at the limit that the Kyushu Barrier can withstand, the peak of the Heavenly Immortal or the Golden Immortal Realm, Lei Hu will never have the idea of leaving the Kyushu Barrier on his own initiative.
If it is true as he thinks, this world is the Great World of Journey to the West, even the cultivation level of Golden Immortal is not enough, there are too many tyrannical powers.
Apart from other things, let’s talk about the monkey and the six great saints who swore sworn vows to him. Which one is not above the Golden Immortal?
Otherwise, with the strength of the seven great saints, would they dare to go to heaven to seek death?
And among the demons and monsters that the monkey encountered on his way to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, which one of them was Yi Yu?
It's really not a joke. In the world of spiritual cultivation in Journey to the West, the Celestial Immortal can only be regarded as a minor player who is slightly better than the lowest level Earth Immortal. I am afraid that any existence that jumps out from any corner will be more tyrannical than him.
If the world outside is really the world of Journey to the West, there will not only be great powers with profound cultivation, as well as countless demons and ghosts, but also the existence of magic weapons that Lei Hu is worried about.
Even monkeys whose strength is at least above the Golden Immortal level will only end up being helpless when encountering those strange and powerful magic weapons. Thunder Tiger will not end well if he accidentally bumps into them.
Every time he thought of this, Lei Hu had to lament the greatness of Emperor Yu back then.
It is indeed a terrifying existence that is more powerful than the Three Emperors. It actually created the Kyushu Barrier, which separated external demons, ghosts, and even gods and Buddhas from interfering, and gave the human race a safe place to cultivate and live.
However, from the opening story of Journey to the West, where the Dragon King Jinghe appears, as well as the underworld and the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, we can know that there must be a loophole in the Jiuzhou barrier, which is an opportunity for Heaven and Buddhism to take advantage of.
It's not that Lei Hu is suspicious, but because of his cultivation in the late stage of heaven at this time, he has not sensed the existence of heaven and hell at all. It is certain that the forces of heaven and hell at this time cannot enter the Kyushu barrier at all.
Lei Hu estimated that the possible reasons for the flaw in the Kyushu barrier were the Wuhu chaos that almost overthrew China in normal history, and the eastward expansion of Buddhism.
In other words, with the status of the Yellow Turban Leader in Qingzhou, Lei Hu basically knew all the major events that happened in the entire territory of the Han Dynasty, and even knew the situation in the areas outside the Great Wall.
Because of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, the power of the major vassal territories throughout the Han Dynasty has increased tremendously, and the improvement over the years has been quite astonishing.
Let's put it this way, although the territory of the Han Dynasty has not yet been unified, the exchanges between various places are very smooth, and all have reached the level of aviation transportation.
In other words, at this time, all parts of the Han territory had basically achieved the point of flying transportation, and their combat power was increasing exponentially.
At this time, all parts of the Han territory had basically reached a higher level of civilization, which was far different from when the wars began at the end of the Han Dynasty.
It is said that the strength of the major princes in the Han Dynasty has expanded so rapidly. Unless there is internal chaos, their power and territory will expand outward involuntarily. This is a natural thing.
Although the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were the dominant family and suppressed the entire Han territory to prevent war from breaking out, external expansion was not within the scope of suppression.
With the terrifying strength of Youzhou, Jizhou Group and Northwest Group at this time, when facing the foreign tribes, they are not far behind in sweeping thousands of armies. There should be no resistance to their external expansion.
But the result is that after fifty years, the expansion of the three major princes outside the Great Wall was not so smooth. The territory only expanded less than half, and then was stopped and castrated.
Under the influence of the Yellow Turbans, the territory of the Han Dynasty increased by leaps and bounds, and the strength of each prince was much stronger than when the Han Empire was in its heyday.
But even so, the external expansion journey of several major princes still encountered unspeakable huge resistance, and even the expansion momentum of the Youzhou Army was severely curbed.
If Zhao Yun hadn't already broken through the limit of peerless warriors and reached the Earth Immortal level, many peerless warriors would have appeared in the Youzhou Army, and together they had resisted the strong men from the alien tribes beyond the Great Wall. I am afraid that the expansion journey of the Youzhou Army would not only
Just being contained, maybe even being beaten back.
It was not the princes within the Han territory that had a problem, but the foreign races outside the Great Wall. Several terrifying beings had emerged in recent years, and each of them had almost immortal-level abilities in a short period of time.
Not only are these newly emerged terrifying alien leaders powerful, the alien soldiers under their command are also quite powerful.
If the armies of the three major princes had not basically become flying, they would probably not be able to withstand the sudden rise of powerful cavalry from the foreign races outside the Great Wall.
Several foreign tribes with terrifying strength suddenly emerged outside the Great Wall. In a short period of time, they swept away the alien forces with a radius of hundreds of millions of miles. Four or five powerful empires outside the Great Wall appeared with a territory of hundreds of millions of miles, not much smaller than the territory of the Han Dynasty.
What surprised Lei Hu even more was that with the rapid rise of the four or five leaders of the Empire beyond the Great Wall whose strength was comparable to that of immortals, a group of generals with peerless fierce generals quickly emerged under them, and the best among them even had locals.
Immortal level.
The rise of several empires beyond the Great Wall was so rapid that even Thunder Tiger could not react in time...
