The Central Territory, as the name suggests, is the central area of the entire Immortal Cultivation Continent, surrounded by four surrounding areas. Compared with the other four areas, the area is the smallest, but in terms of the Cultivation of Immortality's strength, it is the strongest place in the entire Cultivation of Immortality Continent!
Many immortal cultivators in the Central Territory despise the immortal cultivators in the other four places and look down on the immortal cultivators in the other four places from the bottom of their hearts. In fact, the powerful immortal cultivators in the other four places are indeed far inferior to the immortal cultivators in the Central Territory! This has caused
The main reason for this phenomenon is the ruler of the Central Region, the First Dynasty!
The First Dynasty is not only the ruler of the entire Central Region, but also the scope of its rule radiates to the entire Cultivation Continent. Although the other four regions also have their own ruling forces, they all surrender to the First Dynasty and have no regard for the orders of the First Dynasty.
Dare to violate. And this kind of suppression is not limited to mortals, but also involves the immortal cultivating forces in the four realms! And it was the ancestor of the Jiang family who created such a powerful first dynasty!
After listening to Master Jiu's narration about the history of the Jiang family and the First Dynasty, Jiang Zhou was stunned! Although he knew that the Jiang family was very powerful before, Jiang Zhou did not expect that it would be so powerful!
Seeing Jiang Zhou's surprised look, Master Jiu couldn't help but show a proud expression, turned his head, looked at the majestic city gate not far away, and said with a smile: "Here! Look, the emperor of our first dynasty
The city has arrived!"
After defeating Liu Qihai in Black Mountain, Master Jiu took Jiang Zhou and the seriously injured Jiang Chenggong and headed directly back to the Jiang family in the Central Region. With Master Jiu's ability, it only took a few days to return to the Central Region.
However, he had to bring along a slow-moving guy like Jiang Zhou. If the speed was too fast, Jiang Zhou wouldn't be able to bear it. Master Jiu couldn't bear to let his newly recognized nephew suffer, so they might as well just go sightseeing and leisurely.
Walking to the Central Region. This journey lasted for a month or two, and then we finally arrived at our destination, the Imperial City of the Central Region!
The uncle and nephew recognize each other. Just because he saved Jiang Zhou's life on the Black Mountain before, Jiang Zhou is quite good to Jiu Ye, his uncle who fell from the sky. It's just that thanks to Jiang Twenty-six, Jiang Zhou is not fond of the Jiang family.
He didn't have a good impression, and he had a lukewarm attitude towards returning to the Jiang family. When he thought of this, Master Jiu just wanted to skin that Jiang Twenty alive!
The bad influence has already been caused. Even killing Jiang Ershi will not help. In desperation, Master Jiu can only keep telling Jiang Zhou about the greatness of the Jiang family, hoping to make Jiang Zhou change his view of the Jiang family.
However, the effect was minimal. However, Master Jiu did not expect that Jiang Zhou would look so shocked when he saw the imperial city.
"How is it? It's spectacular! The builder of this imperial city is the ancestor of our Jiang family!" Seeing that Jiang Zhou was shocked by the magnificence of the imperial city, Master Jiu also struck while the iron was hot and quickly introduced: "Back then, our Jiang family
After our ancestor founded the first dynasty and destroyed the former Central Region dynasty, he spent seventeen years and six months rebuilding the imperial city on the basis of the former Central Region dynasty’s royal capital! Look at the statue on the top of the city.
It is the statue of our ancestor of the Jiang family! This statue represents our ancestor of the Jiang family who has been protecting the imperial city for 690 years!"
"This is..." As Master Jiu pointed to the top of the city, Jiang Zhou subconsciously raised his head and took a look. On top of the city, a green statue more than fifty feet tall was standing there. At the foot of the statue
It is a city wall of more than a hundred feet. The city wall is majestic and tall, with an indestructible aura. No wonder Jiang Zhou was stunned when he saw it. But after seeing the statue, Jiang Zhou's eyes lit up, as if he understood something, and he twisted.
He turned his head and looked at Master Jiu, saying, "Could this statue be a weapon-refining puppet?"
"Not bad!" Master Jiu was a little proud, but also looked at Jiang Zhou strangely. He had already known before that although his newly recognized nephew was not very good at cultivating immortals, he was not only a high-level alchemist, but also a high-level alchemist.
He is an extremely rare weapon refiner! When he thought of this, Master Jiu couldn't help but smack his tongue. He is indeed the child of the seventh brother and his seventh sister-in-law. He is indeed gifted! Feeling in his heart, Master Jiu did not forget to answer: "This
The statue is a weapon-refining puppet. Once a powerful enemy invades, our Jiang family will activate this puppet to defend against the enemy! However, this puppet has never been activated since the day it was refined, because no one has ever dared to invade our first place.
The imperial city of the dynasty!”
When Master Jiu said this, his head involuntarily raised. It was obvious that being a member of the Jiang family was a supreme honor for him. In contrast, Jiang Zhou didn't have much.
In terms of perception, besides being surprised by the strength of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhou still had no favorable impression of his own family at all.
This is not entirely because of Jiang Ershi's relationship, but more importantly, Jiang Zhou has been living at the bottom of the class as an orphan for nearly twenty years, and has suffered too much.
The source of all this is that I have no father or mother! Although I don’t know how my parents died, but they are descendants of the Jiang family, so their death is absolutely unusual. After all, I am afraid that it is different from the Jiang family.
It’s also inseparable!
It is because he has understood this that Jiang Zhou still cannot accept his identity as a descendant of the Jiang family from the bottom of his heart. No matter how fancy Master Jiu says, the Jiang family is the Jiang family, and he, Jiang Zhou, is Jiang Zhou. There is no difference between the two.
connect!
Seeing that Jiang Zhou's expression only changed for a moment, and then returned to his cold look in the blink of an eye, Master Jiu also knew that his performance just now was in vain, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seemed that he was going to
It is not that easy for Jiang Zhou to accept the Jiang family.
"Jiang Xiaogong! You, you dare to come back!" Just when a group of people were about to pass through the gate of the imperial city, a shout suddenly sounded from the gate, making Jiang Zhou and others stunned, because this
Jiang Xiaogong is exactly the name of Master Jiu!
Jiang Xiaogong frowned. He was unhappy because of Jiang Zhou's affairs. Now someone dared to call him by his first name in the imperial city. Jiang Xiaogong also had someone to vent his unhappiness! Jiang Xiao immediately
Gong then looked coldly at the person who was striding this way inside the city gate and shouted coldly: "Luo Jiao'er! If I can't come back, what does it have to do with you?"
The person who yelled at Jiang Xiaogong was a young woman. Seeing that this woman was tall, fair-skinned, and outstanding in appearance, the only regret was that the woman's face was slightly longer, which caused her overall temperament to be too.
She is too heroic. But looking at what this woman is wearing, she is not wearing silk and satin like ordinary women. Instead, she is wearing leather armor, short jacket, long trousers and leather boots. She is also holding a long whip in her hand, with an angry look on her face.
He yelled at Jiang Xiaogong: "Well, you Jiang Xiaogong! How dare you say such things! You, are you worthy of me?"
Jiang Zhou had no idea what was going on, and had no idea what the relationship between this woman named Luo Jiaoer and his uncle was. After all, he was new here, so Jiang Zhou couldn't interrupt, so he just stood aside and said nothing.
.
Jiang Xiaogong, however, had an unhappy look on his face. He looked at Luo Jiaoer with cold eyes and hummed: "I, Jiang Xiaogong, ask myself if I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, so what can I have to do with you? Luo Jiaoer! Don't think that your Luo family is on your side.
Jiang Quan Gong can do whatever he wants in this imperial city! Don’t forget, Jiang Quan Gong is only a member of the Jiang family, and the nine branches of the Jiang family are not Jiang Quan Gong’s! At least, I, Jiang Xiao Gong, don’t have to look at him like Jiang Quan Gong!”
"Jiang Xiaogong! You, you bastard!" Luo Jiaoer was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She shook her hand holding the whip, and the dark whip immediately made a crack in the air and was thrown to the ground.
A big hole was opened! Jiang Zhou, who was standing by, suddenly saw his eyes wide open, because he had already seen that the whip in Luo Jiaoer's hand was actually a middle-grade spiritual weapon!
This Imperial City in the Central Territory is really amazing. It is a rare spiritual weapon in southern Xinjiang. Jiang Zhou saw one when he arrived in the Imperial City, and it was also a middle-grade spiritual weapon! Oh my god! What if he could fuse this with the weapon refining technique?
, how much spiritual energy must be absorbed!
Jiang Zhou was watching with envy, but Jiang Xiaogong stared at Luo Jiaoer coldly, not afraid of her making a move with him at all. He simply folded his hands in front of his chest and said coldly: "What? If you can't defeat me, you're ready to take action."
Isn’t it? But with your little ability, you are not qualified to take action against me! If you really dare to take action, don’t blame me for being rude!"
"Haha!" As soon as Jiang Xiaogong said these words, Luo Jiaoer's eyes were so angry that her eyes were red. She gritted her teeth and held the long whip, her delicate body was shaking, but she couldn't swing the long whip.
At this time, laughter came from the side, and another person walked out from the crowd of onlookers, standing next to Luo Jiaoer with a smile, but it was a man wearing luxurious clothes.
He had a mustache and looked dignified. He said with a smile: "Ninth brother! Why did you quarrel with Miss Luo as soon as you came back? Although, haha, at least you were engaged before! We are all in the same palace.
City, why is it so tense?"
Seeing this man appear, Jiang Xiaogong's face became more and more ugly. He looked at him coldly, with anger even appearing in his eyes. Luo Jiaoer, who was behind the man, seemed to realize something, and was stunned for a moment.
, and then suddenly took a big step forward and shouted towards Jiang Xiaogong: "Brother Ninth! Don't get me wrong, actually I..."
"Hmph!" Jiang Xiaogong didn't give Luo Jiaoer a chance to continue. He snorted coldly, walked quickly to Jiang Zhou's side, grabbed Jiang Zhou's arm, turned around and walked in
After leaving the imperial city, he never looked back at Luo Jiaoer and that man again!
"Brother Ninth! Brother Ninth! Jiang Xiaogong! Stop! Stop!" No matter how Luo Jiaoer shouted, Jiang Xiaogong did not look back and disappeared into the crowd in the streets of the city in the blink of an eye. Suddenly Luo Jiaoer's pair of
Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, her jade teeth bit her red lips tightly, her face was full of grievance and sadness, but she couldn't even speak.
"Miss Jiao'er! My ninth brother is too rude, don't take it too seriously!" Seeing this scene, the man's lips immediately raised a smile, and he stepped forward to comfort Luo Jiao'er.
He said: "Why don't we go to the Exalted Immortal Tower in the city to rest first? Haha, just think of me as the fifth brother and apologize on my behalf!"
"Get out!" Seeing the man's hand passing through Luo Jiaoer's shoulder inadvertently, and about to put it down, Luo Jiaoer suddenly turned around, took a big step away from the man, turned her head and glared at him fiercely.
He glanced at it and shouted: "Luo Lianggong! Stop being so hypocritical! If it weren't for you, how could Brother Ninth turn against me? I know you want to marry me to gain the support of our Luo family! I tell you! What are you doing?
I’m dreaming! Even if I die, I will not marry a sinister person like you!”
After scolding Luo Jiaoer, Luo Jiaoer turned around and left directly. The man's face darkened, and he looked at Luo Jiaoer's leaving figure with a sinister look on his face. There was even more sinisterness on his face, and he said no more.
With a sound, he also turned around and walked in the other direction.
Jiang Zhou was pulled by Jiang Xiaogong and walked quickly for a while, and he was already walking on a bustling street in the city. People were coming and going on the street, but most of them were mortals. Although there were also many immortal cultivators, no matter how powerful they were,
Weak, these immortal cultivators were just like ordinary people, walking slowly on the streets, and no one was seen using magical powers to teleport or fly, which made Jiang Zhou a little surprised and curious.
Seeing Jiang Zhou's curious look, Jiang Xiaogong couldn't help but smile. The previous anger also dissipated a lot. He smiled and said to Jiang Zhou: "When the imperial city was first built, the ancestor of the Jiang family set the rules. Unless
There is an urgent matter related to the safety of the Imperial City. Otherwise, no immortal cultivator can use magical powers in the Imperial City! Let alone flying or teleportation, even if you want to use any magic, it must be done in a specific place in the Imperial City.
Okay! Of course, after so many years, this rule is not generalized. It doesn’t matter if you use some convenient magical powers at your own home, but on this street, no one dares to violate the rules of the ancestors! Even the people of the Jiang family
no!"
Jiang Xiaogong's explanation also made Jiang Zhou understand, and he finally had a good impression of the ancestor of the Jiang family whom he had just met. At least, this ancestor of the Jiang family did not treat ordinary people like other immortal cultivators.
What a waste!
Jiang Xiaogong didn't pay attention. He had worked hard for a month or two, but it was not as effective as the words he just said. Although he was in a much better mood, it was obvious that what had just happened at the gate of the city still had a negative impact on his mood.
It had an impact. After explaining, Jiang Xiaogong fell silent, and just walked straight down the street with Jiang Zhou. Since Jiang Xiaogong didn't say a word, Jiang Zhou naturally wouldn't take the initiative to speak, along with Jiang Zhou behind him.
Cheng and others did not dare to say anything.
"Ah! We're here!" After walking for a long time, Jiang Xiaogong was suddenly startled. He raised his head and looked towards the street. He pointed to a large house next to him and said: "This is my home. Well, of course, it will be yours from now on."
Our home! Let’s go! Come in with me!”
When Jiang Zhou heard this, he also raised his head and looked at the house. Just looking at the imposing door showed that the house was not small. Compared with the Yuan family's compound in Liuman City, it was more than ten times better! The tall one
On the door, there is a huge plaque with gold characters on a black background, and the four characters "Jiangjia Qidian" are written on it.
Seeing that Jiang Zhou didn't fully understand, Jiang Xiaogong also immediately explained: "Our direct descendants of the Jiang family are divided into nine branches, which are the nine branches of the Jiang family, the first dynasty! Well, I will explain to you the meaning of this later.
! In short, your father and I are one of the nine branches of the Jiang family, and they are called Qidong! This mansion is the residence of our Jiang family’s Qidong! Most of the direct disciples of our branch live in
Here it is!”
Jiang Zhou also nodded, indicating that he had understood, and together with Jiang Xiaogong, he took a step towards the steps in front of the gate. But as soon as he took this step, he heard a squeak, as before.
The closed door was immediately opened, and more than ten figures rushed out from inside, separated in two rows, saluting Jiang Xiaogong and shouting in unison: "Welcome Master Ninth!"
Jiang Zhou was startled, but Jiang Xiaogong had a calm look on his face. He must have been used to it for a long time. He waved his hand gently without saying a word, and directly pulled Jiang Zhou through the door.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Jiang Zhou could feel the big difference inside the mansion! At first, looking from the outside, he just thought the mansion was big, but after entering the mansion, Jiang Zhou realized that the setting and decoration of the mansion were the most important.
What’s even more amazing is that at first glance it seems very simple and unpretentious, but within this simplicity and unpretentiousness, there is a sense of grandeur and luxury! This kind of feeling can only be achieved by a family with a century-old heritage.
Bar!
Under the leadership of Jiang Xiaogong, Jiang Zhou quickly passed through several corridors of the house, but these twists and turns made Jiang Zhou a little dizzy. It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive.
In front of a hall, Jiang Cheng and others behind him had already disappeared.
Before entering the hall, he saw a maid opening the door and walking out. The moment he saw this maid, Jiang Zhou was immediately dumbfounded! She was just a maid, but Jiang Zhou clearly felt
It turns out that the other party is a master of the fifth level of the Immortal Sect! Such a master is also an elder in the Baiyi Sect, but he is just a maid in the Jiang family? If he didn't know that Jiang Xiaogong is really good to him,
I'm afraid Jiang Zhou thought the other party was deliberately acting to scare him!
"Ah! Master Jiu! You're back!" As soon as the maid came out of the hall and looked up to see Jiang Xiaogong, she was a little surprised, but she quickly recovered and saluted Jiang Xiaogong respectfully. The maid's behavior was obvious.
Jiang Zhou also smacked his tongue, this is a master of the Immortal Sect! He actually saluted to him like a maid?
"Yes!" Jiang Xiaogong didn't feel as surprised or flattered as Jiang Zhou. He just nodded calmly and said, "Is the third elder in there?"
The maid seemed to have guessed that Jiang Xiaogong was going to ask this, and immediately said in a sweet voice: "Replying to Master Jiu, the third elder has not returned since he went out, and the servant is just cleaning and dusting inside."
