"It is not common for the mountain gate to be closed within the sect community, because once it is closed, it means isolation from the world, and all the resources and territory previously acquired will be in an ownerless land."
"If you want to save territory and resources, there are two ways."
"The first is to rely on the sects that have friendly exchanges and have made covenants, and ask people to help take care of it. But this method is very risky, because as long as there are enough benefits, there will be no covenants, and it may be taken over by others.
Own."
"The second is to hand it over to the sect alliance. This method is the most appropriate, but the spiritual veins and spiritual fields that have been closed for these years must be owned by the sect alliance. At the same time, a huge management fee must be paid
cost."
"No sect will close the mountain gate unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Back then, the Guiyuan Sect plundered the border population of the Zhou Dynasty, which angered the imperial court. The disciples of the Guiyuan Sect were brutally killed. We had no choice but to temporarily avoid the spotlight, accumulate strength, and wait for the storm to pass."
"Generally, when large sects close the mountain gate, they also use time to accelerate and improve the overall level of cultivation in order to achieve improvement. However, this also requires a large amount of money to support. Guiyuan Sect opened the mountain gate during this trip, and it is said that there will be
Qualified to become a first-class sect, there are not only a few sects invited on this trip."
"This is to build momentum and make a name for myself, so that I can gain benefits in the following sectarian activities."
"It is rumored that Patriarch Guiyuan reached the third level of Venerable 20 years ago. This time, he will most likely reach the fourth level of Venerable."
"Guiyuan Sect is classified as a demonic sect. Most of the people who went there this time were people from the demonic sect. However, in order to inquire about information, many righteous sects will also attend the banquet, especially those first-class sects. They will not be absent. They also want to know,
Which sect does Guiyuan Sect want to challenge, or is it just a bluff?"
"It's not difficult for you, Sir, to sneak into the Guiyuan Sect, but if you want to assassinate someone, it's a bit dangerous. Because the three super sects will also send people here, and there will no longer be a few people above the Venerable level. If your identity is exposed,
, I’m afraid it will be difficult to escape.”
After listening to Fang Ziyou's introduction, Shen Zhui had a deeper understanding of the sect world.
In the sectarian world, the weak are the strongest, and even the territorial divisions of various sects are strictly based on hierarchical forces.
Sitting on one of Qingyangzi's divine weapons flying boats, Shen asked: "General Fang, I heard that the Nine Nether Realm is formed by many cave worlds connected in series. You have been lurking in the sect world for a long time. Do you know this rumor?"
Fang Ziyou smiled and said: "Of course we know that the most important part of the Nine Nether Realm is composed of nine ancient cave worlds."
"Thousands of third-rate sects are distributed in the three cave worlds of Silver Star, Silver Moon and Silver Sun."
The origin of these three ancient caves is unknown. They have many legends and have been named by other names in history. However, they have been called these three names for nearly ten thousand years.
"It's called Sanyin Cave Heaven."
"One hundred second-rate sects and fifty first-rate sects are distributed in the wider and ancient Xulingdongtian, Zhulingdongtian, and Guanglingdongtian."
"For Sanling Cave Heaven."
"Originally, the Qingyang Sect occupies a place in the Guangling Cave Heaven among the Sanling Cave Heavens. There are many mineral deposits in the spiritual field under the sect. However, since the sect was defeated in the promotion battle, our mountain gate position has been automatically controlled by the power of the rules of the Guangling Cave Heaven. "I moved to the Silver Star Cave Heaven among the Three Silver Cave Heavens." Fang Ziyou sighed. "The Silver Star Cave Heavens that I was given are all barren land, and even the original induction of heaven and earth is weaker."
"Oh? The power of rules automatically migrates. This is happening." Shen Zhui was a little surprised. He thought he was forcing the sect to move out on their own.
"Yes, the six caves of Sanyin and Sanling have some ancient and strange 'rules'. Sect promotion and downgrade are not rules fabricated by the sect alliance, but rules that have existed since ancient times." Fang Ziyou explained. "However, these ancient rules are uncontrollable. Only the locations of the three super sects may have ways to control the rules of the Dongtian World."
"Let's continue talking about the three super sects." Shen Zhui said.
“In the Jiuyou Realm, the three super sects with the most transcendent status are undoubtedly the Liuhe Sect, Taishang Sect, and Jiuyou Sect.
Each sect occupies one cave world. And these three caves are also named after the sects. They are Liuhe Cave, Taishang Cave, and Jiuyou Cave."
Of course, there are some old sects and some small caves that are connected to the Jiuyou Realm. But these are countless, because maybe a certain venerable died, and his cave world became part of the Jiuyou Realm. Maybe there is , perhaps it is difficult to count the silent destruction.
The most important components that make up the Jiuyou Realm are the Three Silvers and Three Tombs, Liuhe Jiuyou, Taishang, and the Nine Great Cave Heavens.
This place is completely its own realm, and its territory is extremely vast. It is rumored that it has a territory that is not inferior to that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Ordinarily, in the cave world between two practitioners, due to different rules and different cultivation levels, the cave world cannot be integrated at all, but here, it has become a reality.
The three super sects of the world, one sect and one cave, have a transcendent status and dominance in the Jiuyou Realm.
Especially after the establishment of the sectarian alliance, decades of propaganda aimed to turn the Zhou Dynasty into the common enemy of all sects, and it was quite effective. At this point, the original internal friction between good and evil within the sectarian circles has been greatly weakened. .
"It is said that Jiuyou Cave Heaven, Taishang Cave Heaven, and Liuhe Cave Heaven have many wonderful advantages, such as speeding up time. What's more, practitioners born in these three cave heavens can be able to survive disasters in the outside world. Can resurrect the soul!"
"Soul resurrection?" Shen Zhui was slightly stunned. He suddenly remembered that his one-time supreme holy word [Golden Cicada Escapes Its Shell] also had this magical effect.
"The power of the three super cave worlds is extremely powerful. Some people even speculate that it is because the owners of their cave worlds are still alive." Fang Ziyou revealed another shocking secret.
"What? The owner of this ancient cave is still alive?" Shen Zhui was shocked.
You need to know...the existence of the sectarian world is older than the founding of the Apocalypse Era, and can be traced back to ancient times.
Is there really such a person who can live for tens of thousands of years without dying?
Shen Zhui couldn't imagine it, after all, he had only lived twenty years.
After chatting with Fang Ziyou about some rumors in the sect world, Feizhou was getting closer and closer to Guiyuan Sect.
…………
"Hoo~" The light blue flying boat cut through the dim sky, and underneath was the endless wilderness.
At the end of the field, there is a huge crack.
It was like a broken mirror, standing above the wilderness. There were countless space fragments on the mirror surface, which looked extremely terrifying.
"General Shen, this is the junction of the Silver Star Cave and the Xuling Cave." Fang Ziyou slowed down the speed of the flying boat and slowly descended.
"This space portal is also formed naturally, and if disciples of each sect do not reach the Spirit Bridge realm, they cannot travel between the cave and the sky alone."
"General, be careful. There are people checking in front. They are all garrison troops assigned by the sect alliance." Fang Ziyou reminded.
"I understand." Shen Zhui nodded. Since Fang Ziyou has not been discovered for so many years, he is still very confident in his ability to hide.
The flying boat landed low and slowly approached the crack.
The wind howls, the origin is violent.
Shen Zhui clearly felt that the space here was a bit strange, as if there was a force pulling people toward the unknown abyss under the crack. It was indeed difficult to resist this tearing force until the Spirit Bridge realm.
"Comers, stop!" A huge warship emerged from the strong wind, and then clearly appeared in the center of the crack.
The warship was hundreds of feet tall, as if it had been specially made larger. The ferocious animal head was attached to the bow. Compared with this warship, Fang Ziyou's flying boat was just a leaf.
Whoa~ A group of magical powers wearing khaki Taoist robes flew out, their auras were around the third level of magical powers, and the leader was the sixth level of magical powers.
"Which sect are you coming from? What's the purpose of going to Xuling Cave Heaven?" the leading Taoist asked.
"Fellow Taoist of Jinsong Sect, I am Qingyangzi. I am going to attend the founding ceremony of Guiyuan Sect. I would like to ask you to make it convenient for me," Fang Ziyou said.
"Oh? Qingyangzi? You are actually still alive." The Taoist leader looked surprised. Although he was only at the sixth level of magical power, he was not afraid at all when facing Fang Ziyou, who was at the peak of his magical power.
"I'm just lucky enough to survive, just to make fellow Taoists laugh." Fang Ziyou said calmly.
"Tsk tsk, Qingyangzi, it seems that your Qingyang Sect still has some background. Not only are you not dead, but your great disciple Fang Liang is also still alive." Taoist Huangpao said with a smile. "But it would be unreasonable for just two people to attend the banquet. It’s too shabby.”
"There aren't many people, as long as you can kill people!" Qingyangzi changed the subject, and his momentum suddenly exploded, like a big sun rising slowly. His cultivation at the peak of his magical power was undoubtedly revealed, and he immediately overpowered that one. A team of more than a dozen people.
"This..." Taoist Huangpao breathed out, and his attitude suddenly became respectful. But he said secretly in his heart: "It is said that Qingyangzi was seriously injured in the battle with Qianyuan Sect, and the disciples died and were scattered. They are almost going to be disbanded. Now it seems that rumors are just rumors after all.”
"How about it? Fellow Taoist, have you verified your identity and allowed me, the master and the disciple, to go over?" Fang Ziyou asked calmly.
"This is natural, Master Qingyang, please." The Taoist in Huangpao bowed.
With a peak level of magical power, he is a very powerful person in the sect world. Promotion and downgrade are common in the sect world. With this peak state, Huangpao believes that Qingyangzi may not be able to stand up in the future, so he is not willing to offend him too much.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist." Fang Ziyou also bowed his hand, then controlled the flying boat and flew into the huge crack.
…………
The long road in the starry sky, with countless meteors receding around, and the spacecraft entering the cracks, makes it feel like you are in the starry sky.
After a while, a flash of light appeared in front of my eyes, and then suddenly expanded. All the stars in the dark night faded away, and the flying boat appeared above a forest filled with birds singing and the fragrance of flowers.
"Is this the Xuling Cave Heaven?" Shen Zhui sensed the origin of the surrounding heaven and earth and found that the spiritual energy here was actually richer than that of the entire world.
"This is Wangshilin in Xuling Cave, huh?" Fang Ziyou was slightly surprised.
"What's wrong?" Shen asked.
"It doesn't matter." Fang Ziyou said with a smile. "Originally, after the space rift was teleported, it was still some distance away from the Guiyuan Sect. But it suddenly appeared in Wangshilin. It should be that the person from the Jinsong Sect sold it well. A little bit Controlled the location of the teleportation."
"Haha, it seems that the title of Head Qingyang is quite useful." Shen Zhui said with a smile.
"The general is joking." Fang Ziyou concentrated for a moment, looked around, and said immediately, "There are many warships and flying boats around. It seems that we are not far from Guiyuan Sect."
"Then let's go there quickly." Shen Zhui said, his mood becoming a little urgent.
…………
Going around Wangshilin, there were more and more people, flying boats, and warships along the way. There were some powerful auras of the Lord among them.
The two of them flew not long before they saw eight tall arches nearly a hundred feet tall in front of them.
Each arch is engraved with three large characters with flying dragons and phoenixes - Guiyuan Zong!
There are many Taoist robes in front of the door, and soldiers are shuttled back and forth. The most eye-catching ones are the disciples of Guiyuan Sect. They are wearing light golden robes and seem to be welcoming the guests.
"Guiyuan Sect has set up eight stone gates here, which are also eight formations. There is a world inside and outside these stone gates. I didn't expect that when they disappeared into the Xuling Cave, they actually lived in seclusion here." Fang Ziyou said.
"What should we do now?"
"General, don't worry," Fang Ziyou said. At the same time, he took out a dark red token from the storage ring. "The disciples of Guiyuan Sect will come and lead us in."
"Yeah." Shen Zhui nodded.
The surrounding flying boats and warships passed by slowly, and Shen and Zhui waited quietly.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd in the distance.
"Buzz~" A huge fleet of warships suddenly descended from the sky, jumping in arrogantly, especially the ferocious and huge beast-shaped gold-plated warship, with a group of wing-like horns on both wings, like a living ferocious beast, exuding a heart-warming atmosphere. His trembling breath made the other waiting sect members subconsciously avoid him.
"It's the Dragon Peng warship of the Qianyuan Sect leader!"
"Dragon Peng warship, sixth level magic weapon!"
"The Qianyuan Sect is so domineering. It has just been promoted to the second-rate sect, but it is so grand! It is really too much to ignore us at all!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, it's rumored that Qian Yuanzi has already reached the level of a venerable, and he can't bear to be offended."
…
There was a lot of discussion, but the people present were all second- and third-rate sects. The Qianyuan Sect had been on the rise in recent years, and no one was willing to offend it.
The gatekeeper disciples of Guiyuan Sect also pretended not to see it.
"Qianyuan Sect..." Fang Ziyou's face was a little gloomy. Looking at the warship, there seemed to be anger in his eyes.
Shen Zhui on the side was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that Fang Ziyou was fighting against a venerable person.
Being able to survive from the hands of the venerable gave Shen Zhui a new estimate of Fang Ziyou's combat prowess.
"I understand." Fang Ziyou nodded, calming down his emotions well.
Now that they are here on a mission, of course they should keep a low profile as much as possible.
The huge Dragon Peng warship moved forward slowly and soon passed the Qingyang Sect's flying boat.
"Huh?" On the Longpeng warship, a burly, middle-aged man wearing black armor and with strange purple hair suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.
"Is it the Qingyang Sect?" Qian Yuanzi was a little surprised. "Humph, this Qingyangzi is not dead, and he brought his disciples to attend the return ceremony?"
"Swish~" The flying boat slowed down, and soon two disciples of the Guiyuan Sect were summoned by the invitation and flew in front of the Qingyang Sect flying boat.
Fang Ziyou handed the token to the other party for inspection, and the two prepared to pass through the stone gate.
And at this moment——
"Whoosh~" Two black streams of light suddenly came through the sky and headed straight for the flying boat where Shen Zhui and the two were.
