The Longwei Mountain Range is located 10,000 kilometers south of Zhongjing in the Xia Kingdom.
The soil in this mountain range is thin, but it is full of sparkling "star grass".
"Star Grass" contains grass in its name, but it is one of the most delicate spiritual plants in the world.
This spiritual plant likes yin but not yang, so it needs to be irrigated with sufficient amount of spiritual spring water every day.
When the sun is strong, you need to turn on the sunshade array to isolate the sun.
If there is even the slightest mistake, a large area of "Star Grass" will die.
For the spiritual farmer responsible for taking care of the Star Grass, this is undoubtedly a huge accident!
Not to mention losing lives, it is inevitable to spend all the money to buy Star Grass seeds and work overtime to replant!
Therefore, patrolling the spiritual field every day has become a necessary job for the star grass spiritual farmers in Longwei Mountain!
On this day, there were dark clouds and a sporadic drizzle.
"Wow, God is so kind to me. I can get off work early to practice again today!"
Linggong Luo Xiaojuan looked up at the sky, looking at the falling raindrops with joy on her face.
She is at the sixth level of Qi Refining and has been a spiritual farmer in Longwei Mountain for 17 years.
As long as he survives for another 13 years and breaks through the late stage of Qi refining, he can obtain the temporary residence qualification in Zhongjing Xiacheng District.
Relying on Zhongjing's rich spiritual energy, Luo Xiaojuan can easily practice to perfection before the age of 60.
If you are lucky, you will be able to become a foundation-building true cultivator in this life, become a master who enjoys Taoist alliance subsidies, and fulfill the great ambition of the five generations of the Luo family to officially settle in Zhongjing.
Luo Xiaojuan looked left and right to make sure that the dark clouds in the sky were thick enough and that the sky would not suddenly clear up, and then she went down the mountain with peace of mind.
Halfway through, Luo Xiaojuan suddenly saw a small figure lying in the grass on the roadside.
Luo Xiaojuan used the probing technique to take a look, with a surprised look on her face:
"Hey, it's a little girl about 10 years old?"
"Why are you running up the mountain?"
Shortly after.
Luo Xiaojuan carried the little girl back to the wooden house where she lived, and turned on the heating array to make the house warm.
Immediately, Luo Xiaojuan took out the spiritual rice that she was usually reluctant to eat and cooked a large pot of hot porridge.
Soon after, the girl woke up leisurely and looked at Luo Xiaojuan's busy back with a complicated expression.
"Hey, you're awake! What's your name, little girl? Where do you live? Why are you here in the mountains?"
Luo Xiaojuan asked a series of questions in quick succession.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then murmured to herself:
"My name is An, right? I have no name and no family."
"You've grown so big, how can you not have a name or a family?"
Luo Xiaojuan said with a smile.
But he found that there was indescribable sadness in the little girl's eyes.
Immediately, Luo Xiaojuan realized something and felt a pain in her heart:
"From now on, I will be your family member!"
"You don't have a name, let me give you a name!"
"My surname is Luo, and your surname is Luo too."
"I'm planting Star Grass, can I name it 'Star' for you?"
"This is the famous spiritual plant that forms the grand scene of Zhongjing [Ten Thousand Miles of Galaxy]!"
The little girl shook her head:
"Thank you sister for the surname, but just call me Xiaocao."
"I just want to live, just like the grass that grows again when the spring breeze blows."
Along the rolling Longwei Mountains, go north for 20,000 kilometers.
At the end of the mountain range, there is a beautiful plain where many high-level spiritual veins gather.
There are many market towns scattered on the plain.
This is Longshouyuan, the family fiefdom of Long Zhantian, the ancestor of Xia Guohuashen.
Long Zhantian currently does not hold a formal position in the Taoist League, and only holds a false position as an elder.
But no one dares to underestimate his strength and influence.
Although Longshouyuan is not in Zhongjing City, it is one of the power centers of the entire Xia Kingdom.
Long Zhantian's every move can influence some of Xia's general trends.
Longshouyuan is an ordinary maple forest.
Long Yuyan, who rushed back to Zhongjing from Lingzhou, stood with her head bowed in a formal manner.
Not far away, a middle-aged man in white clothes stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes stern.
The middle-aged man is Long Zhantian, the ancestor of the Long family.
As a monk who transforms into gods, Long Zhantian can separate his soul into incarnations to handle chores.
Long Yuyan didn't know whether the ancestor in front of her was his true form or his incarnation.
But no matter what the truth is, she must maintain high enough respect for her ancestor!
"Qinglian Sect is one of the top ten immortal sects in ancient times."
"Although that site has been abandoned for thousands of years, it definitely still has high exploration value."
"Although you failed to successfully practice the 'Nine Nether Soul-Calming Flag' during this trip, it can still be regarded as a meritorious service!"
"I won't punish you this time."
Long Zhantian's voice was looming, as if falling from the sky, and echoing in people's hearts, which made people feel very strange.
"Thank you ancestor for showing mercy!"
Long Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief.
The ancestor's cancellation of punishment sounded like an understatement, but it allowed Long Yuyan to keep 50% of her annual income from cultivation resources!
She didn't want her cultivation path to be cut off.
"There is no need to report to me the so-called matters in [Immortal Court] and Night Guard in the future."
"A group of reckless soldiers who don't understand people's hearts, think they can change the world by controlling the secret realm of Nanshan and spreading magic to the outside world?"
"How naive!"
"I just need to say hello and ask the Dao League's major Taoist colleges to strengthen their entrance examinations and identity checks for students who have practiced immortal arts."
"They don't dare to learn techniques from unknown sources anymore!"
"However, although those madmen have naive ideas, their strength cannot be underestimated! We haven't formed a deadly feud yet, so let's let them go for now!"
Long Zhantian said it easily.
But Long Yuyan heard a hint of fear in the ancestor's voice?
'Could it be said that the Night Watch and the Lingzhou Pioneer Army were not the only ones who secretly controlled the secret realm of Nanshan and secretly formed the [Xianting] organization? '
Long Yuyan looked a little strange when she thought of this.
To put it this way, I have underestimated this organization.
Of course, I also underestimated the old immortal in the night watch!
Long Yuyan was confused.
Long Zhantian said with a smile:
"As for what you said about the death of a Jindan-level student, there is nothing to say."
"My Long family has three large secret medicine gardens, which control 50% of Xia's output of 'Foundation Pill Main Medicine' and 30% of 'Elixir Formation Spiritual Items'. What kind of talent do you want?"
"The geniuses produced by the Xia Kingdom every year are like leeks in spring, harvested one after another."
"As long as you give up small favors, are you still worried that no one will sacrifice your life?"
Long Yuyan nodded when she heard this:
"I understand, ancestor!"
Long Zhantian took a deep look at Long Yuyan, and finally waved:
"There's nothing else to do, just go about your business!"
"Okay, thank you, ancestor!"
Long Yuyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and responded in a relaxed tone.
Wait until Long Yuyan leaves.
Long Zhantian looked strange and muttered to himself:
"The fate of Murong Zhanyue was cut off one day before the demonic chaos broke out in Lingzhou!"
"This is because someone possessed him to kill the devil and deliberately prevented me from refining the 'Nine Nether Soul-Calming Banner'!"
"What kind of hidden person is going against someone like my dragon?"
Long Zhantian snorted coldly:
"If you like being a hero so much, I'll give you another chance!"
"Let's see if you still dare to jump out!"
The wild world.
There was only a lone sun swirling in the sky, and the air became colder and colder.
Obviously, another cold autumn is coming.
Barbarian Snake City is extremely lively.
This spring, Lord Savage Snake took away the power of most of the totem warriors.
Those totem warriors who used to always run around became the main labor force in building the tribe after losing their strength.
With abundant manpower, the Savage Snake Tribe has made great progress in farming, animal husbandry, and infrastructure construction.
This is an unprecedented harvest year!
Every household brought their own surplus to Barbarian Snake City to barter for what they needed, in order to be fully prepared for the long autumn!
On the roof of the city lord's mansion.
Yan looked down at the bustling crowd below and said in a complicated tone:
"Father, sometimes I wonder if Lord Barbarian Snake taking away most of the power of the totem warriors is a good thing for the Barbarian Snake tribe?"
"After so many totem warriors lost their power, the tribe seems to have become a lot more peaceful. Everyone is not as aggressive as before!"
The giant tree standing with its hands behind its hands heard this and laughed:
"Yan, I'm so happy! You finally learned to use your brain to think instead of continuing to choose to be a primitive!"
rock:"."
After a little teasing.
Jumu began to answer Yan’s doubts seriously:
"Yan, what you see may not be the truth!"
"Animosity will not disappear in a vacuum."
"It just changed from venting in public in the past to hiding it in everyone's heart."
"Besides, the living conditions of the Barbarian Snake Tribe are pretty good now, and they can tolerate it."
“When we can’t control everything, or when most people can’t bear it, peace will naturally disappear.”
When Yan heard this, his eyes widened:
"Is that power good or bad?"
"Is the chaos still a good thing?"
Jumu shook his head and chuckled:
"Power is neither good nor bad, it depends on whose hands it is."
"Whether chaos is good or bad, it doesn't matter."
"The important thing is that the Savage Snake Tribe needs to continue."
"Remember this sentence, if you become the leader one day, this is also the most important principle for you to make choices."
Yan scratched his head, feeling that his brain was not enough again.
the other side.
In a forbidden cave.
Luo Ziren, who had just returned to his snake body, listened to the entire conversation between Ju Mu and Yan and his son, and then fell into deep thought.
"The giant tree that has lived for 150 years is talking more and more like a wise man."
After a long time, Luo Ziren gave his evaluation.
Later, Luo Ziren took the initiative to contact Jumu Heyan and ordered in a deep voice:
[You two, come and see me now! 】
Before Luo Ziren could pay attention to the reaction of the giant tree and rock, he felt a light flashing quickly in front of his field of vision.
Immediately, the stream of light paused momentarily.
Out of thin air, she transformed into an elegant barefoot goddess in white clothes.
It is the dragon girl Ao Shuangxue who was transformed into the white dragon's distraction.
"Hehe. Xiao Qinglong, you are finally back!"
"How's it going? Is everything going well?"
Ao Shuangxue spoke in a very casual tone, as if she regarded Luo Ziren as an old friend.
She didn't know what exactly happened to Luo Ziren.
Previously, Luo Ziren refused her help and made her depressed for a while.
Fortunately, Luo Ziren returned quickly enough this time, and she forgave Luo Ziren.
It feels good to be cared about by friends.
What's more, Luo Ziren couldn't find anyone to talk to about the things that happened in this world.
Wouldn't it be nice to chat with Ao Shuangxue? !
"It wasn't very smooth, but at least the goal was achieved."
"I did what I wanted to do, killed the person I wanted to kill, and got the revenge I wanted!"
"And ruined a conspiracy."
Luo Ziren calmly described his state of mind.
"You look confused?"
Ao Shuangxue chuckled: "If you don't mind, you can talk to me. I can't help you much, but I don't mind listening to you about anything!"
Luo Ziren glanced at Ao Shuangxue and asked curiously:
"There shouldn't be many true dragons in the wild world, right?"
Ao Shuangxue was stunned for a moment, then shook her head:
"It's very rare. I've been traveling in the Endless Sea for many years and I haven't encountered a second true dragon!"
"However, I think there should be some surviving true dragons. They should just be hiding!"
"It's possible in an abyss under the endless sea or in the depths of the starry sky!"
"Why do you ask?"
Luo Ziren thought for a while and said:
"Suppose you have many tribesmen now and you face a choice. You need to kill 10,000 real dragons in order to advance to the Golden Fairy Realm. Will you do it?"
"Huh? I'm crazy to do this!"
Ao Shuangxue had a strange look on her face: "The purpose of my training is to make the Dragon Clan prosper!"
"There are 10,000 True Dragon Clan members, and I don't even bother to practice, so I'm going to kill them to practice?!"
"Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?!"
Luo Ziren was silent when he heard this.
Judging from Ao Shuangxue's usual behavior, she should be telling the truth.
With her fun-loving personality, if there were so many tribesmen, she would probably really lie down!
only.
This is not the answer Luo Ziren wants.
I guess the person asking the question is wrong.
Luo Ziren thought for a while and decided to use the same topic to chat with Yan and Jumu and his son.
Shortly after.
Giant trees and rocks rushed to the forbidden cave with their accumulated soul crystals and real dragon scales.
"I've seen Lord Barbarian Snake and Lord Divine Envoy!"
Jumu and Yan saluted respectfully, then presented gifts and told about the various work progress made during this period.
After completing the process, Luo Ziren asked Jumu a similar question:
[Jumu, if you had the opportunity now to kill half of your tribe and become an immortal immortal, would you do it? 】
As soon as this question came out, Jumu and Yan's father and son were instantly frightened and trembling.
They didn't dare to think of "Lord Barbarian Snake" as someone who would chat with them!
Upon hearing this question, the first reaction of the father and son was that Master Man Snake was going to ask us to draw up a list again!
What kind of terrible disaster happened!
Is it so terrible to actually sacrifice half of the tribe?
As the leader, Jumu only thinks about the continuation of the tribe.
As for whether he would become a god or something, he didn't care.
He now has a lifespan of 800 years.
If you can live to the end of your life, you will be no different from the so-called gods!
then.
Jumu mustered up the courage to raise his head, looked at Luo Ziren's snake body, and asked in a deep voice:
"Lord Barbarian Snake, is the matter really irreversible?"
"If I really have to sacrifice half of my life for no reason, I would rather lead my tribe and fight a bloody path!"
When Luo Ziren heard this, his heart suddenly became enlightened and he seemed to have some enlightenment.
It was just that the feeling of enlightenment passed away in a flash, like a shadow that he couldn't grasp, making him feel uncomfortable.
However, Luo Ziren firmly remembered Jumu's answer!
In his eyes, Jumu is definitely an excellent tribal leader.
The giant tree's answer was at least satisfactory.
"It makes sense to fight a bloody path!"
Luo Ziren murmured to himself, and after a long time, he continued with Jumu and Yan looking at him in confusion:
【I have finished my work. Starting today, you can return the power of totem to everyone. 】
[In addition, I plan to expand the scale of the totem warriors so that 20% of the tribe's population can awaken with the help of the totem brand. 】
[The decision on the list will be left to you two. I have only one request: allow women with excellent conditions to participate in awakening and become totem warriors! 】
Nowadays, the population of the Barbarian Snake Tribe is close to 110,000, and 20% of the population consists of totem warriors in their early 20,000s!
This range is already quite broad.
If Luo Ziren didn't make the last request.
All the adult men in the entire Savage Snake tribe might not be able to make up this number!
Therefore, Luo Ziren's request to allow women to awaken made Jumu's work much easier.
As for why "Lord Barbarian Snake" allows women to awaken?
Neither the giant tree nor the rock had any intention of asking.
Of course, Lord Barbarian Snake has the final say!
"Lord Barbarian Snake, I hope this centralized awakening ceremony will be grander!"
Jumu expressed his proposal.
Luo Ziren glanced at the giant tree:
【reason? 】
Jumu lowered his head and said:
"A grand ceremony can appease the people's hearts."
"It can also make them remember the gift of Master Barbarian Snake!"
【Can. 】
After the giant tree and rock left.
Ao Shuangxue couldn't help but said:
"This leader of the human race is quite powerful. If the True Dragon Clan had such a sober leader back then, the situation would definitely be much better than it is now!"
When Luo Ziren heard this, he couldn't help but ask:
"What great things did the True Dragon Clan do back then?"
Luo Ziren originally thought that this was Ao Shuangxue's secret and could not be told casually.
Unexpectedly, Ao Shuangxue had no intention of hiding anything from him——
"I just competed with the Phoenix and Qilin tribes for the hegemony of the wilderness world, destroyed the earth, and then was punished by heaven!"
Ao Shuangxue said lightly.
When Luo Ziren heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Just this simple sentence contains so much information!
First, are the True Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans mortal enemies? !
I have awakened the true dragon essence and blood. It seems that I should be careful when meeting the descendants of these two clans in the future.
Secondly, how terrifying are the strong men of the three tribes, who can destroy the vast wilderness world? !
This kind of strength is probably far beyond the "Golden Immortal" realm mentioned by Ao Shuangxue, right?
Third
The way of heaven in the wild world is indeed alive and will be revealed at any time!
You have to be more careful when doing things in the future!
By the way, I need to accumulate more merit.
The golden body of merit can ward off disasters and provide refuge!
Think of this.
Luo Ziren asked again:
"What will be the outcome of the three clans' struggle for hegemony?"
"Is the current overlord a phoenix? Or a unicorn?"
Luo Ziren knew that the Dragon Clan must have been defeated.
Then there is at least one winner from the other two races, right?
Maybe they can still join forces to defeat the True Dragon Clan!
But Ao Shuangxue's answer surprised Luo Ziren:
"There is no winner!"
"The True Dragon clan is so miserable, the Phoenix and Qilin who were also punished by heaven are not much better!"
"In short, they are just like real dragons, they are no longer able to survive!"
There is no winner.
Why is this happening?
If the three clans have almost the same power, why should they fight to the death?
In the end, he got nothing, suffered heavy casualties, and was punished by heaven? !
Luo Ziren was puzzled.
"Xiao Qinglong, don't talk about the old stories of the three clans fighting for hegemony."
"I look at the wilderness world soon, and I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm."
"Haven't you noticed? Isn't the world a little too 'crowded' now?"
Ao Shuangxue continued:
"Although you have been worrying all day long that the Savage Snake Tribe has insufficient population and is difficult to use."
"However, just within the scope of your spiritual consciousness, there are the two countries of Yumin and Qingqiu, and even the Wanli Ze Kingdom with Nine Heads and Willows."
"This would have been an impossible situation in the wild world tens of thousands of years ago!"
"At that time, it was normal to fly for a long time without seeing a living being!"
Ao Shuangxue told a fact that frightened Luo Ziren.
That is, the huge wilderness world seems to have reached its capacity limit? !
Although it is not the limit in the physical sense, the various forces are already ridiculously close.
A slightly more powerful person can easily sense the situation of other tribes.
In this case, a war for hegemony will naturally break out soon!
Luo Ziren had thought before that after the Barbarian Snake Tribe established a country, he would conquer the weaker Yu Republic of China!
'This seems to be the rule of the wild world? '
'Could it be that the overlord of the clan really has to be decided before it is over? ! '
When Luo Ziren thought of this, he felt inexplicably excited, which was soon replaced by deep fear.
It seems that as long as you are in this world, you will inevitably be affected?
What exactly is affecting you?
The way of heaven?
Or is it the thought of the totem warrior under his command?
Or is it something else?
Thinking of this, Luo Ziren secretly reflected:
"I can't be too influenced by this subconscious mind!"
"The Savage Snake Tribe is nothing now!"
"Even Ao Shuangxue said that the human race will be the protagonist of the future."
"But that doesn't mean it's related to the Savage Snake Tribe!"
"Perhaps the four great sacred beasts such as the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise and Suzaku are now the patron saints of a certain human dynasty!"
"The protagonist of Future World is talking about the dynasty they protect!"
"If the world is really going to be in chaos, the little tribe of wild snakes should try their best to protect themselves!"
In this way, I chose to increase the number of totem warriors of the Barbarian Snake Tribe, and even allow women to awaken, to maximize the strength of the Barbarian Snake Tribe. Is it a mistake to make the right decision?
"At the very least, it shows that my tribal totem spirit is not that confused!"
Luo Ziren suppressed the little pride in his heart and prepared to keep up his efforts.
for the rest of the time.
While Luo Ziren was practicing the sword-controlling skills such as the [Escape Sky Sword] obtained from Murong Zhanyue, he was secretly supervising the "work progress" of the giant trees and rocks.
Although Luo Ziren did not limit the work cycle of the two of them, he still had to return to the living world. Naturally, the faster the progress of Jumu and his son's work, the better.
About half a month later.
The sun in the sky of the wilderness world completely disappeared.
Autumn has officially entered the wild land.
this day.
The north wind howls and the grass breaks.
Thousands of people gathered in the square in front of the Totem Spirit Temple of the Barbarian Snake Tribe.
Among them, there were totem warriors who had "lost their power", young men who had just grown up, and many working women with strong physical fitness. There were more than 20,000 people in total.
These are all excellent talents who have been carefully selected by Jumu Heyan and are suitable for inheriting the power of the totem!
After everything is ready.
Jumu stood in front of the three statues in the temple (one totem, two divine envoys) and spoke loudly:
"Please give me grace, Lord Barbarian Snake!!"
The giant tree's voice was loud and soared into the sky!
