Chapter 19 Four Sects, Eight Sects and Sixteen Kingdoms!
On the muddy official road, a carriage was driving quickly, accompanied by four guards on both sides.
What is strange is that behind the carriage, a handsome man wearing a short jacket and holding two stone piers in his hands is chasing the carriage while dancing with two stone piers weighing no less than a hundred kilograms.
"Sir! Come up! It's been an hour!"
Bilian squatted at the exit of the carriage, looked at Ximen Hao who was self-absorbing, and tried to dissuade him.
"Oh~ It's only been an hour!"
Ximen Hao didn't stop, he continued running and moving.
Although he is already in the early stage of Qi Condensation, after taking those five Vitality Pills, his cultivation has reached the middle stage of Qi Condensation.
However, in order to please the gods and become stronger, he began a difficult journey of physical training as soon as he left the inn.
"Hmph! Masochist, ignore him and let him torture himself."
Di Yingying sat in the comfortable carriage, leaning against the wall of the carriage, gloating at Ximen Hao who was sweating profusely outside.
She didn't know why, but she didn't leave after she recovered from her injury. Even though Ximen Hao chased her away, she still stayed.
It's a good name: looking for opportunities to avenge the indecent act!
Of course, only she knows whether she wants to take revenge or repay the other person for saving her.
As the saying goes: A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, no one can guess it.
"The eldest prince is truly a role model for us!"
Captain Liu turned his head and glanced at Ximen Hao. Although it was autumn, the scorching sun during the day was still scorching, but the other party was training himself in such a way to make himself stronger. It was really admirable.
In fact, physical exercise is an essential practice for every practitioner.
However, most cultivators not only have to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to improve their level, but also have to become familiar with moves and martial arts, so the time for physical training is greatly shortened. Some even lazy people do not train at all.
Ximen Hao is different. He masters all the moves and martial arts instantly, and his cultivation level is also directly activated by eating vitality pills, so he can use physical training as his main training method.
Of course, body training would be more effective if it was combined with potions and the like, but for Ximen Hao, he had to either buy it or wait for the red envelope.
Even if he buys it, when he comes out, the palace will only have a thousand taels of silver and a few dozen taels of gold. He doesn't know how much he will spend along the way.
As for the red envelopes, now that I have started to train my body, I guess that shameless guy in the system will get some physical training treasures, right?
In this way, the carriage galloped, and Ximen Hao chased after it. The group of people drove non-stop, and after two days and two nights of driving, they arrived at the last city in Jiangbei County, Anyang City!
It was also the first time Ximen Hao entered a city after leaving the imperial city.
Once you leave Anyang City, you will be under the jurisdiction of Hanfeng County. And Donglin City is at the northernmost edge of Hanfeng County.
After entering Hanfeng County, the temperature will drop sharply, and it will get colder as you go north. There are still many dangerous roads to go in the middle, so be well prepared.
…
Tianqing Continent has four sects, eight gates, and sixteen kingdoms!
The four sects are: Luoyun Sect, Qitian Sect, Giant Demon Sect, and Luofu Sect.
The eight sects include: Tianji Sect, Taiyin Sect, etc.
In addition to these four sects and eight sects, Tianqing Continent is also dotted with countless small gangs and families, large and small.
The Sixteen Kingdoms are the sixteen countries in the Tianqing Continent! The Qing Kingdom is just a medium-sized country among these sixteen countries.
Among the sixteen kingdoms, there were four great empires, namely: the Qin Empire, the Xia Empire, the Yuan Empire, and the Tang Empire.
The four major empires occupy almost half of the territory occupied by humans in Tianqing Continent.
The remaining half is divided among twelve medium-sized countries.
You can imagine how big these four empires were.
Of course, the half mentioned here is only human territory! It can also be said that two-thirds of the territory of Tianqing Continent is occupied by human countries and sects.
The other third is the territory belonging to the beast tribe.
Qingguo, among these twelve medium-sized countries, is considered a big country. It is not a big country, but a strong one!
Since the Qing Kingdom is located in the north and has reached the border between humans and beasts, wars often occur, so much so that successive emperors of the Qing Kingdom would rotate soldiers from all over the country to the border for training.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were strong and brave, and they were unambiguous in fighting.
The Qing Kingdom had eight counties and 64 cities, and three neighboring countries in the east, west and south. The east side was close to the border of the Qin Empire.
There are three medium-sized countries to the west, and another large empire to the south: the Tang Dynasty!
To the north is the border between humans and beasts.
Donglin City is the only military fortress city in the Qing Kingdom. Together with the Qin Kingdom in the east and the Luo Kingdom in the west, it forms a line of defense on the northern border to resist the orcs on the ice fields in the north.
Of course, the Orcs cannot only have territory in the northern ice fields.
Except for inland countries, almost every country on the border will be attacked by orcs.
In Tianqing Continent, the power of sects cannot be underestimated, especially the four sects. The sect leaders of the four sects are also guests even in the four major empires.
Not to mention how many disciples there are in the four sects, just the number of masters makes every country feel fearful.
However, the Four Sects seldom interfere in the affairs of the country, and act in a low-key and mysterious manner. Unlike the Eight Sects and some small sects, they often participate in the internal and external battles of some countries for their own benefit.
In general, if you want to live comfortably in Tianqing Continent, you must be strong! If you want to live happily, you must have your own strength and power! Otherwise, you may be hacked to death when you go out!
The strong one is respected, the victor is the king, this is what we say.
Ximen Hao slowly closed the book, and was really shocked. In the memory of the eldest prince, there was very little information outside the palace, and he was even too lazy to read the books.
And this "Tianqing Detailed Record" was purchased by him after he arrived in Anyang City for a hundred taels of silver. It contains almost everything in Tianqing Continent, even the orcs.
"Dong dong dong~"
There was a knock on the door outside.
"who?"
Ximen Hao turned his head and looked outside.
Since they arrived at Anyang City and stayed at a big inn, he didn't arrange any guards and let them rest.
"Sir, when I saw that you were still holding the light in your room, I went to the kitchen and asked for a bowl of ginseng soup."
Bilian's voice sounded outside the door.
Ximen Hao was stunned for a moment, then he opened the window and took a look at the sky, only to realize that it was already midnight and there were very few people walking around on the street.
"Come in~"
"Yes~"
"Squeak~"
The door opened, and Bi Lian walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup and placed it on the table.
Then he saw the thick books on the table, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
The eldest prince actually became eager to learn after he recovered.
"Sir, it's late at night, it's time to rest."
Ximen Hao slowly closed the window, then sat back, took a look at the steaming ginseng soup, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Bilian, seeing it reminds me of the poison I drank for two years."
"Ah! The master mistakenly blamed the slave. The slave did not poison me!"
Bi Lian was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and then remembered that Pan Yin Lian had been drinking poisonous soup from the eldest prince for two years.
