Zhongzhou is a hilly landform, consisting of mountains and hills.
On a hill to the east of the center of Zhongzhou, there is a large area of fairy-like buildings.
In this hilly area, there are large and small hills. The small ones are about ten feet tall, while the tall ones are over a hundred feet high. Each hill over a hundred feet high is covered with buildings.
The small hills are all caves for immortal cultivators. At a glance, there are nearly a thousand caves.
This is where the famous Shangqing Gate of the Wei Kingdom is located.
The Shangqing Sect existed for about the same time as the Yueyang Sect, tens of thousands of years ago.
Tens of thousands of years ago in Zhongzhou, there were three sects of cultivating immortals. The Shangqing sect was just an ordinary sect among them, with average strength.
But thousands of years ago, for unknown reasons, six or seven Nascent Soul stage monks appeared in the Shangqing Sect at the same time, and the news was completely hidden.
You must know that at that time, the other sects in Zhongzhou only had one or two Nascent Soul monks. After the Shangqing Sect gained strong strength, it launched a rapid expansion and attacked the two sects in Zhongzhou at the same time.
The force destroyed one of them.
Another sect called Jiuyou Sect was more alert and sensed something was wrong in time and evacuated early. However, the two Nascent Soul Stage monks of the sect were still beaten to death and injured by the Shangqing Sect.
Because the Shangqing Sect divided its forces to fight, the remaining Yuanying monks from the Jiuyou Sect fled Zhongzhou in time with some of their disciples and sect resources, and asked for help from other sects in the Wei Kingdom.
When the surrounding sects received the news about the Jiuyou Sect and realized that the Shangqing Sect was so powerful, they all panicked, fearing that it would come knocking on their door.
At that time, the other five sects of the Wei State all united. The five sects alone were not as good as the Shangqing Sect, but after joining together, there were nine Nascent Soul Stage monks. In the end, the Shangqing Sect had to let go of the Jiuyou Sect, but the conditions
That is to occupy the entire Zhongzhou.
At that time, the five sects were not of the same mind, and their territory was not in Zhongzhou. Unlike the Jiuyou Sect, which had lost its foundation, they agreed to the Shangqing Sect's request.
The Jiuyoumen who were beaten the worst could only grit their teeth and withdraw from Zhongzhou. After paying a lot of price to the Tianjian Sect in Cangzhou, the Jiuyoumen finally found a spiritual vein in Cangzhou where they could recuperate.
After hundreds of years passed, the five sects regretted it. The Shangqing Sect obtained a large amount of cultivation resources, and also occupied many spiritual stone veins in Zhongzhou that could house three immortal cultivation sects.
As a result, the strength of the sects swelled like a balloon, and the first monk in the late Yuan Ying stage of the Wei Kingdom actually appeared. Now several surrounding sects were extinguished even if they had the intention.
In the following thousands of years, each generation of the Shangqing Sect will have a great monk who is in the late Yuanying stage to serve as the great elder of the sect, and there will also be about ten elders who are in the late Yuanying stage.
Moreover, the Shangqing Sect began to have contact with the immortal cultivating families in various states. Either their ancestors were disciples of the major sects, or they themselves were families that were established after becoming powerful and independent cultivators.
The Shangqing Sect secretly supports these families to occupy Lingshi veins and other mineral veins in other states. Just like the Ye family, with the support of the Shangqing Sect, they directly mined two veins in Qingzhou, one of which produced silver ore.
That rare mineral vein.
This is equivalent to the Shangqing Sect indirectly occupying the resources of other states.
The six sects were afraid of the Shangqing Sect's powerful strength and dared not speak out in anger. However, this situation accumulated over time, making their resentment towards the Shangqing Sect deeper and deeper.
Until more than ten years ago, the great elder of the Demon Spirit Sect did not know what method he used to recruit a powerful foreign aid to stop the late Nascent Soul monks of the Shangqing Sect.
At this time, the six major factions, including the Jiuyou Sect, which had a grievance with them, united closely and planned to take advantage of the weak strength of this generation's Shangqing Sect to drive them out of the Wei Kingdom.
…
Inside the Shangqing Gate, there is only one cave in a hill about ten feet high. Inside, an ordinary-looking young man is refining talismans. There is a whole box of talismans in front of him, many of which are purple rays.
Thunder Talisman.
Suddenly, the talisman in the man's hand flashed with light, and he quickly threw the talisman in his hand into a deep pit next to the cave.
There was a loud "boom", and a dazzling purple light appeared in the pit. If Sun Haowen were here, he would have discovered that the power of this failed talisman was much more powerful than his simple version of the lightning technique.
"Hey, it still doesn't work. Isn't there any way for me to turn a powerful spell like Thunderbolt into an attack talisman? Only with more of these talismans can I have the strength to compete with the monks in the pill formation stage."
The young man looked at the little bit of lightning left in the pothole and said with some regret.
Then he took out a silver-white talisman paper, holding a black stylus pen in his hand, with lightning flashing on the tip of the pen, and continued to refine the talisman.
This young man is a disciple of an elder from the Shangqing Sect in the Nascent Soul stage, named Zhao Jinhong. He has the foundation of Dzogchen. His spiritual roots are the spiritual roots of the three attributes of water, fire, and wood.
The reason why he can draw thunder spells is mainly because after he established the foundation, by chance, he developed the Shangqing Sect's unique skill, the Shangqing Thunder Control True Technique.
After mastering this Shangqing Lightning Control True Technique, you can use thunder-attribute spells as freely as the Thunder Spirit Root, and the several magical powers that come with this technique are also extremely powerful.
Zhao Jinhong, with his foundation-building perfection, can unleash a complete thunder technique. His strength is terrifying, and he is good at making talismans. He has countless thunder-attribute talismans on his body.
In terms of overall strength, it can be said that he is one of the strongest among the foundation-building monks in the Shangqing Sect.
However, Zhao Jinhong was unwilling to give in and wanted to refine the talisman of the thunder spell. If five or six thunder spell talismans were thrown out at the same time, even if he encountered it in the early stage of pill formation, he would have to avoid the sharp edge temporarily.
When Zhao Jinhong was refining the thunder spell talisman, he often made mistakes. The talisman that failed to be refined was extremely unstable, so he threw it into the pit beside the cave. After many failures, this deep pit appeared.
The foundation-building disciples who used to live on this hill also felt helpless towards this senior brother.
Every time a failed lightning strike bombed down, the explosions and vibrations caused these disciples to suffer terribly. Due to the strength of this senior brother, they had no choice but to move out of the cave.
"Haha, I finally succeeded in refining it."
I saw a dark purple talisman appearing in Zhao Jinhong's hand, with a faint light of lightning on it. It was the talisman of the intermediate and top-level lightning technique.
"I still have a lot of high-end talismans in my hand. I need to refine a few more. If I carry a dozen or so with me, I'm afraid I can kill them even in the early stages of forming pills. In this case, Xiao Hongfei's
This guy is definitely no match for me."
Just when Zhao Jinhong was feeling proud, a transmission note crashed into the confinement of his cave. Zhao Jinhong frowned and took it in his hand with a wave of his hand.
"The six major sects want to deal with my Shangqing sect?" Zhao Jinhong read out the contents of the transmission notes with an extremely excited expression on his face.
