The lanterns are on at the beginning, but the night is still young. Singing and dancing, shengxiao, beside the green forest.
Every day in Happy Forest seems to start in the evening. When the first light is lit in the forest, Happy Forest begins to be filled with a joyful atmosphere. There are fine wines, delicious food, beauties, and almost everything you can enjoy in a big town. Like those places that are dedicated to people's entertainment and happiness, the purpose of Happy Forest is to make the guests who come in smile. The only difference from ordinary places is that the people who come to Happy Forest to have fun are all cultivators, and most of them are cultivators who came from Treasure Forest. They are fierce, tough, and alert. But when they were in the Happy Forest, they could often let down their guard and let go of their nerves that were tense every second in the Treasure Forest.
In Baozhilin, everyone wants to strip naked and let others know that they have nothing to offer; but in Happy Forest, everyone's greatest happiness comes from what they gain in Baozhilin, and they can share it with others through the power of wine. There are endless boasts every day.
"My sword is named Maskiang. It is the top level of the fourth level. It has enhanced energy and strength. Do you know how much gold I spent to get it?"
The day had just begun, and there was already a drunkard showing off his newly acquired fourth-level magic weapon and bragging to the whole room.
"How much?" Someone bragged, and he was praised by others, and someone immediately asked in the hall.
The man's face was flushed, he burped loudly, showed a pleasant smile, raised a finger and shook it and said: "I said I picked it, do you believe it?"
"The fourth-level top magic weapon, you picked it? Hahaha!" Countless people laughed on the spot.
"Don't tell me, there has been so much chaos in Baozhilin recently, it's really possible or not."
"Chaos returns to chaos, what do you think? How can there be magic weapons left to be picked up?"
"There are always exceptions."
"That's true."
Everyone was chatting casually, and then talked about the recent influx of Dapin magic weapons in Baozhilin. This incident arose because Zhenbao Pavilion was attacked by a group, and there are still different opinions on why Zhenbao Pavilion became a street rat.
"In this situation, I really don't know what big shot Zhenbao Pavilion has offended." Someone sighed.
"Huh? No matter how big a person is, I'm afraid he won't be able to attack Zhenbao Yue at the same time in the three empires, right?" someone else said.
"This is reasonable, so this Treasure Pavilion must have aroused public anger?"
"Has Zhenbao Pavilion done anything to offend the world recently?" someone wondered.
Everyone was silent.
Zhenbao Pavilion dares to specialize in cultivator business, and its own strength cannot be underestimated. It can also be said that there are so many masters that no one dares to provoke him. But this blow came very suddenly, without any warning in advance. I don’t know what day it started, and the siege of Zhenbao Pavilion spread across the entire continent like a prairie fire. Even if there was no encouragement from the three major empires, there was definitely a reason to let go. side of it. What's more, many witnesses have proven that the three empires also personally participated in the attack on Zhenbao Pavilion.
"Perhaps when dealing with the higher-ups, the three empires were offended at the same time? How could we people know about things at that level?" said one person.
Those who can walk in the Forest of Treasures are mostly Jianghu people who are far away from the imperial court. Although there are some capable people and strangers among them, generally speaking, the masters and powerful people are now gathering in the imperial court. Idle clouds and cranes like them are nothing compared to those people, and it is difficult to know the news and decisions of the upper echelons of the empire.
"Everyone only pays attention to the three empires. Didn't they notice that there is another force that is particularly active in targeting the treasures this time?" said one person.
"Oh? What is it?"
"College."
"College? Which college?"
"All colleges, from the top four colleges to any one on the college rankings, have made some moves against the Treasure Pavilion," the man said.
"So this Treasure Pavilion has not only offended the three empires, but also offended all the colleges in the world?" Everyone gasped. It's just one or two colleges. Except for the top four and the top 100, the others are nothing. But if you offend all the colleges in the world, what does that mean?
The academy is the most orthodox and common origin for current cultivators. Including those who are now wandering around the world, their enlightenment in cultivation may have been in an academy. In other words, even they all have the so-called academy background. However, for some academies whose rankings are not so prominent, their impact on the subsequent development of cultivators is minimal, and these cultivators are less likely to talk about their origins.
In addition, for the big families that developed because of the blood inheritance ability, bloodline is the foundation and strength for them to improve their height. Even the four major colleges cannot replace this. The emergence of the blood inheritance ability has had a huge impact on the college system. The three major empires established by the family are now dominant in the mainland. In addition to the four major colleges, hundreds of colleges on the list are basically under the jurisdiction of the empire, and many are even sponsored by the three major empires.
Even so, the influence of the academy's influence is far from being completely eradicated. When a family's power is formed, bloodline is its advantage, but it is also a barrier. The academy can recruit students from all over the world, but the family's bloodline can only grow stronger through reproduction. Bloodline has a cohesion that the academy cannot match, but it does not have the free expansion power of the academy.
Many people will not think so much about such a general trend in the world. For these Jianghu people who are looking for fun in Happy Forest, they only know that offending all the colleges in the world may be worse than offending the three empires. After all, the empire is divided into three parts, each taking care of its own jurisdiction. But the students of the academy are all over the three empires. If they really want to break out together, they can really make the three empires run together.
"So, it's actually because I offended the academy that it happened like this?" Some people can't help but think this way.
"What's going on?" Some people thought it was unbelievable. The academy is just a general term, but it is by no means a country. Even the competition between academies is not much different from the disputes between the three empires. If you can offend all the colleges, it will naturally touch their common interests. Is that so? No one can figure it out.
"Time, you just pay attention to the forces taking action. Have you ever paid attention to the time when the attack on Zhenbao Pavilion starts?" Suddenly another person said.
"This...it feels like two months, right?"
"So, did any big events happen two months ago?" someone said.
Everyone started thinking. The so-called big event must be known to everyone in the world, and then it can be called a big event. But ever since the three major empires and countries had occasional minor disputes, it seems that a major event that could change the pattern of the continent has not happened for a long time.
"Two months ago, there didn't seem to be any big events, right?" After thinking for a long time, someone said.
"Wait a minute, was it more than two months ago that Beidou Academy's Seven Stars Competition took place?" Someone suddenly said.
Beidou Academy's Seven Stars Examination is very famous, but it cannot be considered a big event. After all, this is just an annual assessment of a college, just because the college is famous. But when the Seven Stars Trial was mentioned, everyone's hearts couldn't help but move.
Although the Seven Stars Association method is only an internal assessment within Beidou Academy, this assessment can bring together many people. For example, the other three major colleges with the same name, such as the three major empires, such as some other colleges and forces that were invited.
If you really want to offend the most powerful forces in the world at once, the Seven-Star Conference would be an excellent opportunity.
"So did Zhenbao Pavilion do something during the Seven Stars Association Trial?" someone speculated.
The news that the Seven Stars will try out the battle is still sealed. But after all, there is no shortage of smart people in the world. After peeling off cocoons and drawing silk, they finally connected some things with the Seven Stars Examination. Everyone discovered that this time the Seven Stars Examination of Beidou College seemed to be a starting point. After the examination, they will follow Something happened.
The Zhenbao Pavilion suffered a disaster, and this was just one of them.
In the Qingfeng Empire, the Lin family, the first family under the royal family Yan, defected. After being sealed for a period of time, the news has now been made public. After all, the empire is not an academy. For such a big matter, the Qingfeng Empire needs to give its people an explanation. The Lin family is quite famous in the Qingfeng Empire. This incident caused an uproar from the court to the people, and it has not stopped yet.
So, what happened on the Seven Stars Association?
In fact, this problem is not just here in Happy Forest, but has aroused suspicion all over the world. For more than two months, the lives of ordinary people have remained the same, but the practitioners have felt some subtle changes in all aspects affected by the four major colleges.
