Chapter 387 The Age of Discovery East China Sea Island Lord
"East China Sea..."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Jiancheng pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "The situation on the East China Sea is complicated, and now it is the [Age of Discovery] that happens every ten thousand years, so the Taoist Academy system in China is not applicable to East China Sea."
"The Age of Discovery?" Lin Chen's face showed doubts at the right time.
"Today's situation in the East China Sea, in one sentence, is a battle for spiritual energy." Gu Jiancheng explained patiently.
In fact, as the sect leader of the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect, one of the nine major forces, he rarely explained everything to others in such detail.
The reason for doing this now is neither the request of True Lord Qingyang nor because the other party first came to Middle-earth, but because of Lin Chen and Zhang Hao.
The former achieved golden elixir before the age of sixty, and has terrifying potential. The most important thing is that his name contains the word "Lin" obtained from the prediction of the final catastrophe by the Xianmeng Tianji Sect. The other party will either be related to the Demon Star in the future. Either he is the Son of Destiny who will face the great calamity, and his importance is self-evident.
As for the latter, the Fairy Moon Spirit Fairy of the Immortal Alliance had sensed a familiar aura on it. It was suspected to be the reincarnation of two god-changing monks from Lingnan, or someone related to them. It looked like a golden elixir, but its potential status was definitely Not light.
Of course, there are also swordsmen who are also cultivators, so they take care of Zhang Mengyao, so they say a few words.
Anyway, all in all, he was not aimless.
So he continued to explain:
"You should also know that the most critical thing in cultivation is not the exercise books or the panacea, but the spiritual energy!"
"Only spiritual energy is the most critical thing in cultivation, and for millions of years, the main thing that the Immortal Alliance and all forces have fought for is spiritual energy!"
"And in the East China Sea, the battle for spiritual energy is divided into two aspects. One is the high-priced spiritual energy, the main force of the East China Sea Immortal Alliance and the sea beast Dragon Palace."
"With the center of the spiritual vein [Wolong Pass] as the dividing line, the two sides opened up a huge battlefield stretching for millions of miles. Both the cultivating forces in the Middle Earth and the East China Sea invested tens of millions of monks in the war at one time. Above, an extremely brutal and bloody war took place here.”
"Is this the so-called Age of Discovery?" Zhang Mengyao looked confused, "What does the competition between the Immortal Alliance and the Dragon Palace have to do with navigation?"
"This is the foundation." Gu Jiancheng said slowly, "The war between the Immortal Alliance and the Dragon Palace against spiritual energy is the foundation for starting this era."
"Because in addition to the high-level spiritual veins in the East China Sea region, there are many fine spiritual veins located everywhere in the southeastern sea that is countless times wider than the Middle-earth continent. Although they are very scattered, when combined, It is also a force that cannot be ignored!”
"And every ten thousand years, this world will receive foreign world fragments and meteorites, thus forming various large and small islands in the vast sea area. In ancient times, ancient monks went on expeditions to the outer world. , the [Guixu] formed by pulling the major worlds also fell into the East China Sea after the ancient catastrophe..."
As Gu Jiancheng continued to talk, Lin Chen and others gradually understood.
The so-called Age of Discovery is essentially the competition between the Dragon Palace and the Immortal Alliance for spiritual energy.
The reason why it is called the Age of Discovery is because every ten thousand years, under the influence of various factors such as changes in the heaven and earth, the arrival of meteorites, plundering the outer world, and returning to ruins to reveal the world, there will be a large number of rich spiritual energy and various kinds of things. Resources are revealed in islands and sea areas.
In order to compete for these resources and interests, as well as for the purpose of class circulation and anti-monopoly, the Immortal Alliance called on all monks above the foundation level to go to the East China Sea for large-scale development based on their own wishes.
Those who succeed in pioneering can not only occupy this island and have the right to use 70% of its spiritual veins and spiritual energy, but can also obtain precious cultivation resources that are not available in this world but belong to outside the territory!
There are even those who are extremely talented and beautiful among them. They absorb the Taoism of the outside world, the wisdom of living beings, and the origin of heaven and earth to feed themselves back. They have embarked on a new path of cultivation and successfully condensed the Taoist Fruit of Yuan Shen!
Although it is not as good as the orthodox God-Transforming Heavenly Lord of the Immortal Alliance, it can survive for tens of thousands of years. In this world, it can be regarded as a loose immortal!
Of course, although there are many benefits, the risks are also extremely huge.
Let’s not talk about the involvement of monsters and monsters from all sides, and let’s not talk about the threat of dragon palace and sea beasts. The risks of these islands alone are definitely not small.
Because these islands come from different places, not to mention the indigenous people on them, the rejection reaction alone is enough to greatly weaken the monks' strength.
Not to mention, some of the islands emerged from [Guixu].
What is Guixu?
Guixu is the remains of the world where the ancient monks went on an expedition to the outer world, and it is also their experimental site. No one knows what is placed in it, but once encountered, I am afraid that even the Nascent Soul monks will be killed in it!
Risks and benefits coexist.
Various strange and weird ruins and secret realms, the fallen realms of monks above the Nascent Soul level, the sea areas invaded by foreign laws, the weird evil things returning from the ruins...
The alien souls that can be eaten for cultivation, the Merman Tears that increase the soul, the five-color soil that can shorten the cultivation time of elixirs...
There are also all kinds of strange and alternative Taoist methods with different styles, such as harvesting yin and replenishing yang, burning thatch to make a tripod, swallowing ghosts and souls, drawing blood into the body, poisoning the poison of poisonous insects, depriving food to protect the grain, and even killing them with curses. Technique...
Strangeness, development, war, bloodshed, development... This is the age of navigation that this world, the East China Sea, is experiencing now!
"...In such an environment, the East China Sea is not a Taoist system, but an archipelago system headed by the three major forces of the Immortal Alliance. The sea areas are divided into administrative areas, leading to the archipelago system of ten thousand islands in the East China Sea!"
"Every East China Sea Island owner must hand over a fixed proportion of spiritual energy as tax next year. When the war comes, they must send enough monks to participate in the war, and the upper-level monks will provide them with shelter and guide them in the cultivation of Taoism. …”
Systems naturally vary from place to place.
Since the various factors in the East China Sea have too many and too wide influences, and the Immortal Alliance does not have enough control over the Heaven-Shifting Universe Formation, it cannot form unified management at all, so it can only adopt an archipelago system similar to enfeoffment!
"...The above is the general situation of the East China Sea of the Immortal Alliance." Finally, Gu Jiancheng said.
Although the words were finished, everyone fell into a long silence, with a hint of shock mixed with yearning on their faces.
Those who are willing to leave Lingnan are obviously not peaceful masters. Compared to the Middle Earth, which seems to be open but has many management restrictions, they instead yearn for the East China Sea, to be the master of an island, to open up the wilderness, and to hold great power. .
Obviously, that is the stage for careerists!
After hearing this, Lin Chen didn't need to take a deep breath, and his eyes glowed slightly.
In that place with rich resources but incomplete systems, it is the most suitable world for him to show off his achievements!
'If you have the chance, go directly to the East China Sea! Lin Chen's eyes flashed with an inexplicable luster.
But before that, there are still some things that need to be asked clearly...
"I don't know, Your Majesty, how will we be arranged after we go to Middle-earth this time?" After understanding the basic situation of the Immortal Alliance, Lin Chen finally asked this most critical question.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Hao and others looked at Gu Jiancheng one after another, a look of nervousness flashed across their faces, and the atmosphere in the venue became even more solemn for a moment.
Gu Jiancheng's expression remained normal. He looked around at everyone and then said slowly: "Don't worry, I will arrange everything for you... huh?!"
Before he could say anything, Gu Jiancheng suddenly paused, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly turned his head to look out the window.
Um? What's wrong?
Lin Chen was stunned when he saw this, but he quickly came to his senses and turned to look out the window together.
Outside the window, the waves of the sea of clouds stretch to the horizon in the distance. Everything that comes into view is golden, and the red burning clouds seem to have solidified into molten lava that will not be extinguished.
"Sir, what happened? This is not Huo Shaoyun..." Lin Chen turned his head and was about to ask, but he realized something and was suddenly stunned.
If Lin Chen remembered correctly, it was early in the morning before they set off. After a long voyage, it should have been noon. How could there be the flaming clouds that only exist when the sun rises and sets? !
"This is not Huo Shaoyun..." Lin Chen's expression changed, and he instantly realized something was wrong.
But before he could take action, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
The fire cloud outside the window, at this moment, the light is getting brighter and brighter, the scene in front of me seems to become distorted, it seems to be really burning!
The next moment, like a volcanic vent, raging flames poured in from the window. It was originally a scene of an ordinary bedroom. At this time, all the items in it were instantly ignited, and the raging flames engulfed everyone in the room. Wrapped in it!
fire!
Fire!
There is fire everywhere!
Looking around, the whole world is golden, as if shrouded in bright light, as if the whole world is on fire!
Lin Chen felt as if he had fallen into a boundless sea of fire. His whole body was burning, but there was no pain at all. Instead, he was burning like firewood, constantly increasing the power of the sea of fire!
In this boundless sea of fire, Lin Chen seemed to vaguely see a figure in a trance.
A chicken head, a swallow's jaw, a snake's neck, a turtle's back, a fish's tail, five colors, about six feet high, and accompanied by countless spiritual birds and fairy birds, as if they were meeting their king!
This is……
the fire of nirvana,
Birds flock to the phoenix!
