When Zhou Yang's back disappeared from the arena, the two young women looked at each other and nodded.
After leaving the arena, Zhou Yang rode the Linglu back to the south bank of the river.
He flew westward for a distance, and when he saw no one was around, he led the spirit deer behind a large willow tree, took out the disguise potion, and began to get busy.
When he returned to the street, Zhou Yang had transformed into a middle-aged man.
The next day, he returned to meet Cui Kai at the southwest city gate. He also gave him some disguise potions and repeatedly reminded him to pay attention to safety, but did not tell him that he was being followed.
He was not sure about this matter, and saying so would inevitably make Cui Kai nervous, which would increase the risk of exposure.
After they separated again, Zhou Yang wandered around the city during the day and looked for clues, and did some repairs in the inn at night. The seven days passed quickly.
During these seven days, Zhou Yang spent five nights reading the general history of Hezhou Xiujie at a glance.
He had a general understanding of the past and present life of Hezhou Xiujie, the customs, the distribution of major forces, and the situation in some continents surrounding Hezhou, etc. He benefited a lot and was also shocked at the same time.
Apart from anything else, this book gave a more accurate answer to the question of the number of continents in the world, which had always been a mystery to him before.
The reason why it is said to be more accurate, rather than very accurate, is because the author has read all the Hezhou classics and has not found out how many continents or seas there are in the world. He only summarizes what has been confirmed and really exists. The continent and the sea are included in the book.
According to general history, there are three continents near Hezhou and an endless ocean.
These three continents are the Misty Continent, the Dark Continent and the Savage Wilderness.
The Dark Continent is also a continent of cultivators. It is much larger than Hezhou and has many more cultivators. Its language, skills and living habits are also different from those of Hezhou.
As for the wild wilderness, it is reported that there are no indigenous people. It is a boundless wild and ferocious land, numerous secret realms, and super powerful wild beasts. The environment is very dangerous. Even ordinary golden elixir masters will escape death if they enter.
However, masters in the late stages of Jindan and even the Great Perfection realm can only protect themselves when entering the wild wilderness. Only those who are strong in the divine realm can operate unhindered.
As for the Piaomiao Continent, it is almost a legendary existence. It is a high-level continent above the three continents. If you have not reached the divine realm, you cannot go to the Piaomiao Continent.
That boundless sea is called the Sea of Devils. There are countless giant islands in the sea, many cultivators, and countless sea beasts. This sea is a paradise for demon cultivators and ghost cultivators. It is said that all the devil cultivators in Hezhou mainland come from there.
Except for the legendary Misty Continent, the other three continents are separated by boundless wastelands. Ordinary cultivators may not be able to reach them even if they travel for thousands of years, and the Devil's Sea is even further away.
In ancient times, the three cultivation continents were originally connected by super teleportation arrays. However, later on, the relationship between the two continents, Hezhou and Darkness, became increasingly tense. In the end, a protracted war broke out, and those super teleportation arrays were Ruined.
Although the Devil's Sea and the Wilderness have not started war with these two continents, there is no cross-continental teleportation array at all, and only god-level masters can reach it.
For nearly a million years, the war between Hezhou and the Dark Continent has been continuous, but no one can gain the upper hand.
Later, the nature of the war gradually changed, from a war of plunder between continents to a war of experience between young talents.
The two sides established military camps on the mainland border, constantly recruiting young cultivators to join the army, and then confronted each other and attacked each other, tempering the young cultivators on both sides in the war.
The army stationed at the border in Hezhou is called the Heavenly Army, which means the army that fights on behalf of heaven. Every year, thousands of young cultivators arrive at the border and are incorporated into the Heavenly Army to fight, undergoing life and death training again and again.
These people exchange military merit for the number of cultivators and war beasts they kill, and then exchange military merit for martial arts, Taoism, elixirs, treasures, etc. Those with great military merit can also obtain fiefs.
Of course, Hezhou's fiefdoms are also limited. With military merit, you can only obtain the position of city lord at all levels below the main city, or receive the territory of a mortal country.
However, not every cultivator is qualified to participate in the mainland war. Only those who have reached the realm of Tianyuan or above, are under the age of forty, and have passed the selection of combat strength, formation, will, etc., can join the army. Qualifications.
Affiliated cities such as Anping and Dingbei basically have no hope of participating in the selection, let alone a small town like Tuyan. Only major main cities and above, or major sects that have been inherited for more than ten thousand years, can select young talents to go to the border for war experience.
There are hundreds of thousands of attached cities in the four regions of Hezhou, southeast, northwest and tens of thousands of main cities. There are so many sects and there are trillions of practitioners, but the number of places to participate in the war is very limited, so the competition is very fierce. The fight for quotas was bloody and the disputes continued.
Every young cultivator feels honored and proud to participate in the war on the mainland.
Zhou Yang had only scratched the surface of the above information before, and it was very vague. I read this general history today. It was an eye-opener and I gained a lot of knowledge.
The successive lords of Dingbei City were all served by the head of Zhou Tianzong. According to the general history, they should have been obtained through military exploits through the war on the mainland. The subsequent lords of the city were just benefactors of their ancestors.
The position of the city lord of the main city and the giant city is very important. Military merit alone is not enough. It should be controlled by the major superpowers.
There are some records in the general history about areas outside the four continents and the Devil's Sea, but they are just speculations.
The boldest guess is that these four continents and one sea are just one domain, and it is a very small domain. There are even larger domains beyond this domain. In addition, the book also introduces the starry sky. These remarks made Zhou Yang so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
According to general history, the starry sky is wider, but most of the countless planets in the starry sky are desolate and silent places, and there is not necessarily a star of life among ten thousand planets.
However, many planets contain rich resources, many of which are very useful to cultivators, and those planets with life are actually the residence of cultivators’ souls after death!
He was stunned by this sentence.
In this way, his parents' souls really exist in the stars in the sky, but they don't know which one.
Doesn't this mean that if he becomes super powerful, he still has a chance to see the souls of his parents!
Of course, there is another way to see it, and that is after you die.
There is also evidence for this statement in the general history, but with Zhou Yang's current level of cultivation, he cannot understand the evidence. Because those are the evidences listed by those who are at the God Control level and above, and they were obtained after using the Heaven-reaching method.
Although it was not clear, Zhou Yang still pondered for a long time and had many ideas.
According to current knowledge, the souls of cultivators will be scattered after death, so the souls in those living planets must be broken spirits and scattered, and they are probably unconscious.
Also, since those planets are life planets, what kind of life exists there? Broken unconscious souls certainly don't count. In other words, there is other life on those planets.
After reading this record and thinking of his parents, Zhou Yang felt a little melancholy and couldn't stand it anymore.
During the remaining two days, he still wandered around the city during the day, and began to figure out the art of looking for energy at night.
The key point of the Qi-Looking Technique is to look at the Qi.
In addition to the breath of the five elements, each cultivator also has his own unique breath, which is also the symbol of the cultivator. However, most cultivators who have reached a certain level will hide their aura and will not release it easily.
In order to master their breath, some kind of secret technique must be used. This gave rise to the art of looking at the breath and observing the breath. To practice the technique of looking at the breath and tracking, you must first practice the technique of looking at the breath and observing the breath.
With Zhou Yang's talent, he mastered seven to eight points of the essence of Qi Watching in two nights. Next, he only needs to combine this breath-seeing technique with his spiritual consciousness and spiritual awareness, but this is also the most difficult step.
Seven days later, Zhou Yang came to Bojiafang City as promised.
As soon as he entered the gate of Fangshi, he saw Fang Degao sitting behind a long table drinking tea and chatting with others.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you're here!" Fang Degao caught a glimpse of Zhou Yang coming in and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Zhou Yang nodded and walked over.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, let me introduce you. This is Ling Feiya, my sworn brother." Fang Degao introduced the man to Zhou Yang.
"I've met fellow Daoist Zhou." Ling Feiya clasped his fists.
Zhou Yang also cupped his fists in return.
Judging from the aura of Ling Feiya, his cultivation level should be at the eighth level of Tianyuan.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, my elder brother has always been in charge of your affairs. Please ask him to explain it to you in detail." Fang Degao said.
"Have you found the person?" Zhou Yang suddenly realized that Ling Feiya was the person in charge, so he asked.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, don't be anxious. There are a lot of people talking here. It would be better for us to change the place to talk." Ling Feiya said.
Zhou Yang had no objection to this.
The three of them left Fangshi and were led into a teahouse by Fang Degao.
The private room in the teahouse was blessed with formations and had sound insulation effect, but Ling Feiya was still worried, so he placed another sound insulation barrier with his fingertips.
After doing all this, Ling Feiya said: "Although the task entrusted by Fellow Daoist Zhou is difficult, we have found some clues."
Zhou Yang frowned slightly, but he still couldn't find anyone after hearing this.
Seeing Zhou Yang's disappointment, Ling Feiya asked again: "Are the guards of that woman two mutes with middle-level Tianyuan cultivation?"
"That's right." Zhou Yang nodded. He had already told Fang Degao about his cultivation level, but he didn't mention the mute thing. It seemed that they had found a clue.
"That's right, the two mute guards were sold to slave traders."
"What!" Zhou Yang suddenly stood up and his expression suddenly changed.
The You brothers were actually sold into the hands of slave traders. What happened? What about Xi Danjin?
