Because of this, under the constraints of all parties, the Zifeng Sect failed to occupy the core Sang County like the Sangzhou Lingyi Sect, and the Huzhou Feiliu Sword Sect occupied the core Liu County.
However, despite this, the power of the Zifeng Sect in Sha County still dominates, and the other three Dao Realm sects in Xizhou and many casual cultivators can only barely fight against it.
Xizhou is not inferior to Huzhou in terms of area, but because it is spread all over the Gobi and deserts, the total area of oasis suitable for mortal monks to live is less than one-tenth of the entire Xizhou, which greatly limits the improvement of Xizhou's overall strength .
But because the oasis land is the essence of Xizhou, it is rich in products and full of spiritual energy.
This makes Xizhou's overall strength extremely high, which is why it can surpass Huzhou and rank third in the cultivation world. However, the difference between the top sects is also limited.
Thousands of years ago, Xizhou only had six counties. However, the boundless desert in the far west of Xizhou, which borders this boundary to the west, has opened up another county, named Biao County, after thousands of years of continuous westward expansion.
This county can be the most barren of the seven counties in Xizhou. Among them, the oasis area only accounts for less than one-twentieth, making it a desolate land.
The West Pole Desert is not all desert sand. There are still many oases of large and small distribution in the more than 100,000 miles of West Pole.
However, the further west you go, the smaller the oases are, the farther they are distributed, and the spiritual products they produce become poorer.
For example, the oasis area of Shajun in the core of Xizhou can account for one-fifth of the county, while the remaining five counties range from one-tenth to one-fifteenth.
Going north from Zhujun in Yanzhou, you reach Sajun controlled by Liufeng Sect. To the east of Sajun is Piaojun controlled by Yun Yizong, a Taoist sect, which borders Yao and Lin counties in Yuzhou.
To the north of Piao County is Chen County controlled by the Zifeng Sect, bordering Yuzhou Lin County and Liangzhou Jing County.
Further north is Ge County, which is also under the control of the Zifeng Sect.
To the north of Sa County is Biao County, which is where the large and small forces of Xizhou's scattered cultivators gather. Further north of Biao County is Lan County, which is controlled by Guanlan Sect, a Taoist sect.
To the east of Lan County is Ge County. The six counties of Sa, Biao, Lan, Ge, Chen and Piao form a ring and surround Sha County in the middle.
The Yang family's power in Xizhou, the Wei family, is on the western edge of Shajun.
Although they say they belong to the Guanlan Sect, they actually look down upon the Wei family at all. After all, they are just a prominent family occupying a miniature oasis.
It was after Xuanyuan arrived, and after nearly a hundred years of support from the Yang family, he upgraded the micro oasis here to a small oasis and became a powerful one. Only then did the strongholds near Guanlan Sect come to recruit people.
The Wei family was naturally responsible for this, and then Xuanyuan supported the Wei family while expanding his influence towards the neighboring Biao County to the west.
Especially after the arrival of Qiu Linyi, Yang Hongxuan, and Hun Ji, they had sufficient manpower, and the Wei family developed rapidly. They also made progress in Biao County and occupied a miniature oasis.
Now the goal of Yang Hongyuan and others is the small oasis of the Wei family in Shajun.
"Come, come, come, this is your seventh sister's father, Xuanyuan Zhenren!"
"Fellow Taoist Xuanyuan!"
"This is the Eighth Brother-in-law Guiqiong Zhenren!"
Master Tianshi is happily leading Master Xuanqi to understand that last time Sangzhou gained a lot of relatives in an instant.
"Fellow Taoist Xuan Qi is polite!"
"Second brother, second sister-in-law!"
Master Xuan Qi was a little dizzy after a lap, this. . this. . . There are too many relatives.
Master Xuan Qi is a pure non-traditional cultivator. Due to some luck, he has been cultivating all the way to this day.
I didn't expect to see so many close friends today, eh. . To be precise, brother-in-law. . .
"Haha, fellow Taoist Xuanqi, there is no need to be like this, we are all brothers!"
When Yan Hongfeng saw Master Xuan Qi's embarrassment and restraint, he couldn't help but take the initiative to speak. This was the only one among the few who practiced the thunder method.
If you look at the foundation of the Yang family's protective formation, you will know that Lei Fa is extremely important to the Yang family, so it is natural for the Yang family and the eldest brother to win their hearts.
"Haha, that's right, that's right. Tianshi first met us a few years ago, and he looked like a fellow Taoist, but this time he became a companion!"
Xuanyuan, as the landlord of this place, also spoke in agreement and laughed, and everyone was happy for a while.
There are Gobi deserts all over Xizhou with sparse vegetation, but in this oasis it feels like Sangzhou.
And because of the abundant sunshine, compared with the forests of thousands of trees in Sangzhou, the oasis in Xizhou has more vitality and beauty.
"Fellow Taoist Gui Qiong, how is your Jia family doing?"
Yang Hongxuan also noticed Master Xuan Qi's embarrassment. After reluctantly recognizing the person, he asked.
"This Sangzhou is indeed one of the largest states in the cultivation world. After nearly seventy years of hard work, and with the help of the third brother and the third sister-in-law, the foundation has finally been laid in Huaiyang County, Huai County.
However, as the only gathering place for casual cultivators in Sangzhou, Huai County has many large and small forces, and there are four Dao Realm sects behind it, each of which supports one of the forces and fights endlessly.
Although the Jia family now occupies four towns in Huaiyang County, it has almost reached its limit. Unless its strength increases again, it may not be able to expand its power in the short term. "
Gui Qiong also sighed softly as he spoke. He originally thought that he could occupy a county by advancing to the Xuangang Realm, and with the secret help of Yan Hongfeng and his wife, the two real Xuangang masters.
But the more I know, the more difficult it becomes to move forward.
"Haha, brother Gui Qiong, you don't have to do this. There are many forests in Sangzhou, and the land of the four towns is enough for the development of the Jia family.
Sangzhou is powerful, not as good as Master Xuangang in Yuzhou and is almost a top monk, but now he is pretty good. "
Yan Hongfeng can understand it best. After all, in order to defend these four towns in the past few years, he has fought with many people. Fortunately, the ancient dense forest has opened, and a large number of casual cultivators have poured into Sangzhou.
Many real people have settled in Huai County, and some have founded sects. In this way, the Jia family can fish in troubled waters and expand from the original two towns to four towns. This is not a big deal.
"Brother Gui Qiong is proud enough to be able to establish himself in Sangzhou. Fortunately, the second generation of the Jia family has grown up and there are new real people.
From now on, we just need to develop steadily. I don’t know how long it will take for my Lei family to produce a real person. "
Feeling the harmony of everyone, Master Xuan Qi immediately let go and spoke warmly.
Speaking of which, the Wei family in Xizhou has a much better external environment than the Jia family in Sangzhou.
Because oases are isolated existences, the nearest real-world force is hundreds of miles away.
Being too far apart, the competition between such forces is small. Xizhou is quite similar to overseas.
For example, an oasis with a radius of more than 500 miles is a large oasis, and an oasis with a radius of more than 100 miles but less than 500 miles is a medium-sized oasis.
The area between 100 and 50 miles away is called a small oasis, and the area below 50 miles away is collectively called a micro-oasis.
