It is said that the Yang family has only officially risen for a hundred years, and even the free lineage has only been two hundred years since Tianling Immortal Lord became an immortal. 33
But in the past two hundred years, how did it accumulate such huge strength and have such great influence.
Although the fairyland sects in the three states have not yet spoken out, with the approval of all the Taoist forces in the three states, the trend of Xi, Yan, and Jiao to guard one state has become irreversible.
The forces in the cultivation world naturally understand that the title of Zhou Mu is just a title. Among the three states, even those forces such as the Wei family and the Shantian Sect, which are close to the Yang family or belong to the free lineage, are afraid that they will not listen to the announcement, let alone Talk about Feiyun, Yunyi, Yuanjiang and other schools.
But this title of a state's shepherd is not useless in today's era of great changes. Just look at the name of the immortal leader Tianling Xianzun.
Furthermore, although fairyland sects such as Lingyi Sect have been suppressing the state for thousands of years, they have never had such a reputation.
The fierce resistance from the sect lineage that the cultivating community expected did not appear. Of course, they did not recognize the identity of Sanzhou's state pastor, and just waited in silence.
In this way, the cultivation world has maintained a strange calm, but this calm has the repression before the storm.
Everyone in the cultivation world understands that this kind of peace must be temporary.
They don't believe that the sect and the Xiaoyao lineage will let the expanding free lineage go unchecked.
Now they are just waiting for the opportunity. Once they take action, it will definitely be earth-shattering, and I am afraid it will far exceed the battle of the four states thirty years ago.
The guesses of the cultivators in the cultivation world were correct. Facing the increasingly powerful and expanding Free Lineage, Xiaoyao and the Ten Immortals of the Sect have completely united together.
However, the Free Lineage seemed not to know about this, and they took frequent actions again, guiding water veins and opening canals within their own sphere of influence.
After more than a hundred years of operation and three expansions, the Grand Canal is undergoing its fourth expansion this time under the leadership of the Yang family.
Today's Grand Canal starts from Bo County of Huzhou in the south, crosses Chi and Xi counties in the north, extends to Lei and Yan states in the west, crosses the five counties of Wu, Zhen, Hail, Yan and Deng, and connects the overseas cultivation circles in the south.
This time it started from Bo County and extended eastward to Lang and Tao County.
Originally, it was based on Yan County as the hub and went north to Lian and Ju County.
This time, Tao County will be used as the hub, and the two counties of Ze and Jiang in the north will be connected. If it is connected, it will greatly strengthen Huzhou's water transportation, and even surround the Feiliu Sword Sect in the center, forming a trapped dragon.
The first canal reaches Xijun, goes west through Sangzhou, and passes through Tongjun to Huaijun.
This time, Tong County is used as the hub, heading north to Feng County, passing through Yu County and going north to Yuzhou, all the way to Yu County, connecting Sang and Yu states.
Taking He County of Huzhou as the hub, it goes north to Binzhou, passes through Jing County and reaches Yu County, the core of Binzhou.
This time, it goes west from Yujun, the core of Binzhou, and completely connects to Yujun, the core of Yuzhou, and then directly connects to Shajun, the core of Xizhou, all the way west.
At the same time, they all moved northward from Yujun in Binzhou, Yujun in Yuzhou, and Shajun in Xizhou, and finally converged at Bingjun, the core of Liangzhou, completely connecting the four prefectures of Xi, Yu, Bin, and Liangbei.
The four northern states and the four states of Yan, Lei, Sang and Hunan are also connected by Hubin and Sangyu.
Although the two states of Lei and Yan are not connected yet, through the three states of Yan, Lei and Hu, the eight states of the cultivation world can be regarded as barely connected.
In this way, the world of cultivation presents an extremely strange scene. On the one hand, there is the enthusiasm of the Free Line that runs through the Grand Canal of the Eight Prefectures, and on the other hand, the complete silence of the Sect and Xiaoyao Lines.
By the time the Grand Canal was initially fully connected in the 499th year of the Gregorian calendar, the entire cultivation world was already like a huge volcano on the edge of eruption.
The Xiaoyao and Zong sects didn't want to take action so quickly, but the Youli dynasty was so aggressive, how could they let them do what they did.
The two lines have agreed that even if there is a civil war in the Zhoutian world, they cannot allow the free lineage to develop like this and dominate Zhoutian.
But before they could make up their minds to take action, news came one after another that disrupted their plans.
Baihu Mountain is the earliest extraterritorial force to establish itself in the Mangshan Mountains of East Ji, and it is already quite powerful.
After Yang Jiadong left Yumen Pass in the previous chapter, Baihu Mountain absorbed many escaped demon cultivators and took the opportunity to grow a lot.
After absorbing the demon cultivators who escaped from Feng County in Sangzhou three years ago, they suddenly became the strongest force in Mang Mountain in the East.
The forces in Dongji Mang Mountain feel that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Baihu Mountain has seen its rapid growth after absorbing the forces of Feng County, but it also hid the hidden danger of division, and there must be a conflagration.
Little did you know that the Lord of White Tiger Mountain was quite capable. Qingluan Demon King, the leader of the extraterritorial forces in Feng County, just brought some birds and monsters to the Ice Phoenix Palace, and completely integrated the two forces.
In the past three years, it has been attacking everywhere, constantly destroying the extraterritorial forces that surrendered to Dongji Mang Mountain, and has become the undisputed overlord.
News came not long ago that the master of Baihu Mountain successfully survived the thunder tribulation, and Baihu Mountain has become the top first-class Taoist power in the world of cultivation.
At the same time, the external forces were defeated from Sa County in Xizhou, and everyone thought that their vitality would be severely damaged.
But after only one year of repairs, he successfully cultivated a large oasis in the West Pole desert and established Qilinzhou.
Everyone speculated that Sajun's extraterritorial forces had left a back-up early, but they had foresight.
What's more important is that the Lord of Qilin Island also successfully survived the thunder tribulation, making Qilin Pavilion become a world-class Taoist power in Zhoutian after Ice Phoenix Palace and White Tiger Mountain.
In the past few decades, the cultivation world has only noticed that the Yang family has been attacking everywhere, constantly clearing out and expelling extraterritorial forces within the territory.
But they ignored that the suppression of the Yang family also brought together the foreign forces scattered across the prefectures and counties.
Although there are less scattered disturbances on weekdays, the Arctic Ice Phoenix Palace, the East Pole White Tiger Mountain, and the West Pole Qilin Continent have also grown rapidly.
The Three Pole Land is vast and boundless, and is scattered with numerous external forces, large and small. It is originally a piece of loose sand.
But now, due to the suppression of the Yang family, each of them respects the three major forces as the main ones, and the three major forces also take the opportunity to integrate the three poles and become the overlords of the three lands.
Now the Palace Master, Mountain Master, and Continent Master of the three major forces have survived the thunder tribulation one after another, posing a huge threat to Zhoutian's local forces.
If we start a war with Youli's lineage at this moment, I'm afraid. . . .
Just when the sect and Xiaoyao immortals were hesitating, a piece of news came that shocked their hearts and had to temporarily give up their plans to plot against the free lineage.
In the overseas cultivation world, the Horned Demon King of Huangting Realm set off the largest wave of beasts in history to besiege Diaojing Tower, a veteran Taoist realm force.
Taotianmen, an overseas fairyland sect, received the Jade Talisman for help from Diaojinglou, and immediately joined forces with Yuhaizong, a Taoist realm sect, and Taoist cultivators from various sects guarding overseas to go to the rescue.
As a result, the rescue failed, and instead they were ambushed halfway by the Horned Demon King. They were defeated and suffered heavy losses.
The Demon King Jiaochi fought one against three. Daoist cultivator Tao Dan from Huang Ting of Tao Tian Sect died on the spot, while Shi Dan and Yang Bai escaped with serious injuries.
Lan Feng, the new Taoist priest of Thunder Tribulation in Lingyi Sect, was unlucky. While escaping, he bumped into the Horned Demon King and was beaten to death by one of his claws.
Taotian Sect's new Thunder Tribulation monk was seriously injured and passed out immediately after barely escaping back to the sect.
Only Xiao Xunqian, who was in the Thunder Tribulation Realm, saw the opportunity early and escaped early, successfully escaping the disaster.
The collapse of the highest combat power of Zhou Tian's side caused the coalition forces of various sects who came to the rescue to flee in panic, and suffered heavy losses under the pursuit of overseas forces.
Among the monks from various sects who went to guard overseas, Taoist Dong Xiang from Feiliu Sword Sect of Huagai Realm died, and four Taoist monks from Zifeng Sect, including Taoist Xunming from Huagai Realm, died.
Taoist Yuan Qing, the head of the Yuhai Sect, died, the four Taoist monks from the Taotian Sect who were the main force in the rescue died, and almost all the real monks who went to the rescue were lost.
In this battle, the Taoist realm force Diaojing Tower was destroyed. More than ten Taoist monks, including one Huang Ting and two Lei Jie monks, died, and the overseas cultivation world that had been flourishing for more than a hundred years was seriously damaged.
When the news came out, the entire cultivation world was shaken.
Two hundred years ago, Taotian Sect lost several Taoist cultivators due to Yang Hongyuan's plan.
Two hundred years have passed, and the power has finally been restored. This time the battle has returned to its original shape, and the situation is even more critical than the last time.
After all, at the beginning, the cultivation world was mostly fought within itself, but now it is invaded by forces from outside the territory.
Yuhaizong has gained a lot of benefits from following the Taotian Sect over the years, but this time, the death of a large number of high-level monks, including the leader, has also severely damaged their vitality.
Fortunately, Taoist Yuan Zhan, the usually low-key elder of the Yuhaizong, came out of seclusion and took over as head with a cultivation level in the Huagai realm, quickly settling down the Yuhaizong.
In addition, the three sects of Lingyi, Zifeng, and Feiliu were considered to have affected Chiyu. Although few people died, they were the true foundation of the sect.
The two top Taoists of Lingyi Sect, Lan Feng and Lan Kui, died one after another. The Giant Wood Immortal Lord personally passed down the immortal metaphor to welcome Sang Wuji, who was in the Thunder Tribulation Realm, to return to the sect and take over as the leader.
The Feiliu Sword Sect also lost two Taoists, Dongliu and Dongxiang, and now relies entirely on the Donghu Taoist in the Thunder Tribulation Realm to support its appearance.
The Zifeng Sect was the sect that suffered the most losses apart from the Taotian Sect, losing four Taoist cultivators including two Huagai Taoist cultivators in the first battle.
The Zifeng Sect originally thought that when the garrison period expired, the Taoist ancestors of the sect would return to the sect to regain their reputation, but they did not know that they would suffer such a disaster. Fortunately, the ancestors of the sect Huang Ting and Lei Jie were safe.
In recent years, the Yang family has led a series of battles with monks from outside the region, and they have all won great victories, which has boosted the morale of the monks in Zhoutian.
Who would have expected that the counterattack from the outside monks would be so fierce and ferocious, and they were also disappointed with the performance of the sect's lineage.
The free line has been winning consecutive battles, but when it comes to the sect line, it is a huge defeat. The hearts of the people in the cultivation world naturally favor the free line.
The news was received in the Immortal Palace, and the sect responded quickly.
Haiyu Immortal Lord personally descended to earth to take charge of Taotian Gate. At the same time, the immortals of the sects ordered Lingyi, Fentian, Zixiao, and Feiliu to send personnel to overseas for support.
If it were another time, the Xiaoyao lineage would be happy to see the sect lineage unlucky.
But at this moment, the free lineage was so powerful that it could not be ignored. Qian Xuandao of the Huangting realm was the main one, and Taoist Jinzhong and Haomiao of the Thunder Tribulation realm were supplemented. They led ten Dao realm monks to rush overseas.
With the combined efforts of Li Li and Zong, the decline was stopped.
The Horned Demon King also gave up when he saw the opportunity, and began to operate Diaojing Island as his base, and officially launched his own banner: Antarctic True Dragon Island!
Some people died, but not completely...
