The Kuohai has a radius of tens to millions of miles. It is extremely vast and has countless islands. There are many large cities along the coast, including Shangqiu and Juding.
Zhou Yang knew these things, but this was the first time he heard about the three masters of Kuohai.
"There are thousands of islands in Kuohai, among which there are nine largest ones, which are equivalent to the main city level and are controlled by nine major forces. These nine major forces are the overlords of the entire Kuohai, with countless masters and many disciples. Nine. Each faction has a Jindan strongman who is known as the Nine Hegemons of Kuohai, that is, the nine people with the highest cultivation level on the surface of Kuohai.
Three of them came to Anping this time, namely Zhenren Xiaoyao from Dasheng Island, Zhenjun Tianqiong from Lihe Island, and Fairy Wuyou from Feixia Island. These three people are all masters of the middle stage of Jindan, only one step away from the late stage. They are all cultivated to the sky and have unparalleled combat power. No one in Anping or Dingbei can match them. "
As expected, Chongjiu knew Kuohai very well.
"So powerful! With the three masters of Kuohai here, wouldn't the control of the Hedi magic circle have to change hands?" Zhou Yang marveled at the strength of the three powerful men. With them taking action, that giant magic circle must not belong to anyone else. share.
"It's not that simple. Don't forget that there is Suiling City! Besides, Anping Tongzhou Trading Company is not a small sect, and its owner, Tongzhou Trading Alliance, is also a behemoth. There are also big forces behind Xuanfu Sect and Sansheng Sect. If There is really a treasure under the magic circle, hehe, it will be exciting from now on."
"It's so complicated!"
The small Anping River, because of a magic circle, has actually aroused the covetousness of many forces in northern Hezhou. Small sects like Tianxing Sect also want to get involved. Isn't that asking for death?
If Zhou Yang really listened to Li Fengyun's words and got involved, it would definitely be a situation of death and no life.
"Yes, it is estimated that other forces will get involved, and Anping City will neither be safe nor peaceful in the future."
"By the way, Brother Chong, do you know how to get to Tuyan from Anping?" Zhou Yang asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Tu Yan is now an affiliated city of Tongzhou Trading Company. You can only enter Tu Yan through the trading company's teleportation array."
"I understand." Fortunately, he had no quarrel with Tongzhou Commercial Bank, and his relationship with Liu Menglong was also good, so it shouldn't be difficult to enter Tu Yan City.
"Come on, come on, drink, drink!" Seeing that the topic was serious, Tie Hu picked up his wine glass again and drank with the two of them.
"Brother Chong, Elder Chong of Xingmen that day..."
"He is my cousin. He is the eldest among our generation. Chongyuan of Zhou Tianzong is the youngest and also my biological brother." Chongjiu said.
"That's it." Zhou Yang had already guessed, and he just wanted to confirm it today.
With such a powerful force as the Chong family behind them, it’s no wonder that they can travel around the world without worrying about expenses.
"Brother Chong, this is the spiritual stone I borrowed from you." Thinking of the cost, Zhou Yang asked for a thousand yuan from Tie Hu and gave it back to Chongjiu.
"I can see that you don't want to owe me any favors!" Chongjiu smiled bitterly and had no choice but to take the bag of spirit stones.
"I have no other intentions. Brother Chong can lend a helping hand, and I am very grateful. Come on, senior brother, let's have another drink with brother Chong!"
"Drink together, drink with the wind."
After two hours of drinking, Chongjiu left his address and gave each of Zhou Yang and Tiehu a gift, which was something he had acquired during his travels.
He doesn't live in the city most of the time, and this time he came back just to see his old mother, and then he was going to explore the far west of Hezhou.
Zhou Yang and the other two nodded, secretly saying that Chongjiu was a perfect ranger.
After separating from Chongjiu, the two went directly back to Tianxing Sect.
"Captain Zhou, you are back!" Hu Xiangming, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, saw him coming back and hurriedly greeted him.
"Si Zhen Hu, are you waiting for me?"
"Captain Zhou, Elder Wu is waiting for you at the Gong Chuan Hall.
"I got it." Zhou Yang just responded lightly. Wu Xiao definitely didn't do anything good by looking for him.
"You go first." Seeing Hu Xiangming not moving, Zhou Yang frowned.
"Okay, Captain Zhou, please hurry up." Hu Xiangming had no choice but to leave first.
"Why is Old Man Wu looking for you?" Tiehu asked in confusion after Hu Xiangming left.
"It's not about the competition tomorrow. You go back to the outer gate first, and I'll go to the Hall of Transmission."
I have no choice but to go even if I don’t want to.
"Well."
Zhou Yang slowly appeared outside the Chuan Gong Hall.
"Elder Wu, the inner hall." Hu Xiangming waited outside the hall early and led Zhou Yang to the inner hall.
"I have met Elder Wu." Zhou Yang bowed.
"Sit down." Wu Xiao heard the voice and slowly turned around.
The interior decoration of the inner hall is very simple, there are no seats or other facilities, only a few futons. After Wu Xiao sat down, Zhou Yang sat cross-legged opposite him.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
Wu Xiao's eyes were complicated. He stared at Zhou Yang for a while and then slowly said: "Do you know Protector Gongxi?"
Zhou Yang felt uncomfortable being stared at and felt a little nervous.
"I know you! Protector Gongxi is famous in the sect. Which disciple doesn't recognize him?"
"I mean, have you known each other before, or are your elders and Protector Gongxi old?" Wu Xiao still stared at him.
"I don't know him. I only have one elder. He lives far away in Tu Yan and his cultivation level is only in the early Tianyuan stage. How can he be related to Protector Gongxi?" Zhou Yang was very confused and didn't know why Wu Xiao asked this question.
Wu Xiao frowned, Zhou Yang's appearance didn't look like he was faking it, and what he said should be the truth.
"Oh, the mission is temporarily cancelled. We will continue to participate in the competition tomorrow. You have to work hard!" Wu Xiao changed the topic.
"Yes, I will definitely live up to Elder Wu's expectations." Zhou Yang was puzzled by the news, but he still suppressed the urge to ask questions and said respectfully.
"By the way, I will keep the Wanli Talisman for the time being. When I go to Anping again, I will return it to you." Wu Xiao said calmly.
"Yes." Zhou Yang took out a small wooden box and handed it to Wu Xiao, but he sighed in his heart. But this is normal. Without the mission, this valuable talisman will naturally have to be taken back.
With doubts in his heart, Zhou Yang left the Gong Chuan Hall.
"Gong Xi'ao, is he the one who asked Lan Kuotian to give up this mission? It's impossible. What's the benefit of stopping the mission? Besides, he doesn't know himself. It's really weird."
For him, it was better not to go, but he also lost the opportunity to visit his uncle, so he could only wait until next time.
It was still some time before sunset, and Zhou Yang entered the library again.
He is also memorizing the first explanation of Qimen. He just briefly browsed it last time and didn't remember it all.
"Congratulations to the captain for entering the top 100 of Zhou Tianzong. You will definitely win the first place in the Dingbei competition!" When the two guards of the library saw Zhou Yang coming, they hurriedly flattered him.
"Well, thank you. You guys go about your business." The two boys were taught a lesson by him and are now much more honest. Zhou Yang didn't give them any more expressions and nodded lightly before entering the library.
His goal was very clear. He directly found the Qimen Chujie Jade Slip and looked at it carefully.
The content of Qimen's first explanation is not complicated, it is mainly an introduction to formations and the like.
"The Qimen take the creation of heaven and earth and use their unpredictable abilities to benefit all living beings in the world." The first sentence of this opening chapter explains the function and purpose of the Qimen formation.
In other words, the original intention of Qimen Formation was to benefit all living beings, not to show off its ability to attack and kill. For example, Fei Lao's Six Paths Returning Yang Formation, its greatest function is to save lives and heal the wounded.
But are all formations like this? Obviously not. Not only that, most of the Qimen formations have the opposite effect of benefiting all living beings.
Zhou Yang's cultivation level is still very low, he still knows very little about these high-level matters, and he doesn't want to know so much. He has only one purpose, to increase the strength of self-protection.
There are also some graphics and introductions of simple formations in Qi Men's First Interpretation, which can be used as introductory exercises.
Zhou Yang knew that various materials were needed to lay out the formation, but Qimen Chujie proposed that materials alone were not enough to lay out the formation, and the formation patterns had to be carved.
The formation pattern of each formation is different. The strength of the formation is related to the material and has a greater relationship with the formation pattern.
Some formation patterns require animal blood, some require cinnabar, and some formations do not require either of these, and can be carved with mana.
Of course, most of the formations that require magic power are extraordinary and must be executed by formation masters who are at Tianyuan level or above.
The use of animal blood and cinnabar is somewhat similar to carving talismans.
The Library Pavilion is closed after sunset, and no one is allowed to stay in the pavilion unless approved by the elders.
Unable to comprehend it in a short period of time, Zhou Yang could only forcibly write down the contents of Qimen's initial explanation and exited the library before sunset.
After a good sleep, everyone came to Nancheng Competition Square again the next day.
The top three in the Tianyuan realm will be decided in the morning, and it is estimated that it will be the turn of the Lingtai realm in the afternoon.
Zhou Yang glanced at the viewing platform and saw the figure of Fudo Master Xi Qian, and his heart moved for no reason.
Although Master Fudo was closing his eyes to rest, Zhou Yang still felt something. It seemed that an inexplicable aura was emanating from his body, as if the target was aimed at him!
Zhou Yang felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but shudder.
Being targeted by a golden elixir master, even for just a moment, made his whole body cold.
He suddenly remembered what Wu Xiao said. Yesterday, he asked if he had any relationship with Gong Xiao. Could it be that this expert...
Zhou Yang quickly looked away and sat upright.
At three quarters of the hour, the duel begins.
In the blink of an eye, the ten competition stages were filled with swords, swords, and magic, which was thrilling and shocking.
Zhou Yang was watching the Tianyuan Battle with great interest when suddenly his eyes narrowed and he raised his eyes to look towards the No. 3 competition stage.
On the competition stage No. 3, a deacon of Zhou Tianzong faced off against the elder Shang Jia. What attracts Zhou Yang is the quasi-magic weapon used by Elder Shang Jia.
It was a long sword. Wherever the sword light struck, the air there seemed to be pulled backwards, forming a less obvious vortex.
Deacon Zhou Tianzong didn't pay attention at first, and just blocked it with a top-quality shield. However, when the sword light reached it, the runes on the shield quickly dimmed, and his spiritual power was greatly lost.
Not only was Zhou Yang surprised, but all the elders on the viewing platform also turned their attention to the No. 3 competition stage.
