"Oh, to be honest, sir, this is my first time coming to Yufeng Mountain. If I had known that the area was so huge, I would never have come here." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"Who are you looking for? Of course, fellow Taoist, you don't have to tell me." As soon as Liang Qiu Hong asked, he felt something was wrong, so he changed his words.
"Fang Degao." Zhou Yang didn't care and said directly.
"It's him!" Liang Qiuhong obviously knew Fang Degao.
"Yes, it is this person. I have something urgent to do with him. I heard that he has entered the outskirts of Yufeng Mountain and it will take a month to return. Why, do you know him?"
"This person's cultivation level is not high, but his energy is not small. He is quite famous in the southwest city area." Liang Qiu Hong said.
"Oh. I wonder why the young master went to the mountain?"
"Looking for opportunities." Liang Qiuhong said expressionlessly.
"Oh." It's not easy for people to say, and it's not easy for Zhou Yang to ask too many questions.
"Fang Degao probably entered the mountain because of others."
"Oh, please give me some advice, Master!" Zhou Yang said, cupping his fists.
"Do you know about Sui Ling's struggle for hegemony?" Liang Qiuhong asked.
"Suiling for hegemony? Oh, I've heard a little about it." Zhou Yang had never heard of Suiling for hegemony, but to say he didn't know about it would be a bit unlike a cultivator from Suiling City.
"He must have been entrusted by someone to find a precious medicine that can quickly break through the realm." Liang Qiu Hong said.
"Could it be that Young Master is also..." Zhou Yang understood a little bit after hearing this.
"Yes, the period of fighting for hegemony with the spirits that occurs once every fifty years is coming soon. I have been stuck in the middle stage of Tianyuan for more than three years. If I can't break through the late stage of Tianyuan quickly, I will miss this event." Liang Qiuhong's eyes looked a little disappointed. .
"I'll tell you the truth, sir, I'm just a casual cultivator. Although I've heard about following the spirit to fight for hegemony, I know very little about it. Could you please tell me more about it?" Zhou Yang asked humbly.
"You must be from Lingcheng, right?" Liang Qiuhong glanced at him.
"I am from the far north of Hezhou. I came to Sui Ling not long ago." Everyone had seen through it, so Zhou Yang could only tell the truth.
"No wonder. The Suiling Hegemony is held every fifty years. It is a grand competition for the young generation. All Suiling City cultivators under the age of forty and above in the early Tianyuan period can participate."
"Oh. I see that the young master is not very old, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of Tianyuan..." Zhou Yang glanced at Liang Qiuhong and said doubtfully.
"You don't know something. Sui Ling Zhan is divided into three levels according to age: under forty, under thirty, and under twenty. There is no limit to the cultivation level. I am already twenty-one. At this level, there are so many people in the middle Tianyuan period. If If you want to compete, you must reach the late stage of Tianyuan or possess extremely powerful secret skills, otherwise you will be eliminated." Liang Qiuhong said helplessly.
"That's it." Zhou Yang suddenly realized.
It turns out that this is what fighting for hegemony is like. If you calculate it based on your age, you should be classified as under twenty years old.
According to Liang Qiuhong, most people between the ages of 20 and 30 are in the middle stage of Tianyuan, and only those in the late Tianyuan stage are eligible to compete. According to this logic, most people under the age of twenty should be in the early stage of Tianyuan, and only those in the middle stage of Tianyuan are qualified to compete for hegemony.
It seems that with my own cultivation, I am only qualified.
This Suiling City deserves to be called a super giant city. If it were placed in the two cities of Anping and Dingbei, it would be good if someone under the age of forty could reach the early stage of Tianyuan. This gap is really not that big.
"In the realm of Tianyuan, every time you break through a level, you should focus on understanding the way of heaven, and the accumulation of magic power as a supplement. With so many people rushing to enter Yufeng Mountain, could there be a precious medicine here that can help you understand the way of heaven?" Zhou Yang asked.
"Of course! Not only that, according to the older generation, there are many precious medicines and strange medicines in Yufeng Mountain. I heard that there are also treasures that can help fake elixir masters enter the country!" Liang Qiuhong nodded.
"What, a treasure that helps break through the Golden Core Realm?" Zhou Yang was shocked.
"Of course, but you can only search deep in the mountains, which is not possible with your and my cultivation. I heard from the elders that there were once divine masters who discovered a method in the very depths of the Yufeng Mountains that could evade the secrets of heaven. The spiritual object can help cultivators avoid the calamity of pills and even the calamity of gods!"
Liang Qiuhong's words once again stunned Zhou Yang.
Whether you are cultivating Taoism or cultivating immortality, it is an act against heaven. Sooner or later, if you change your destiny against heaven, you will be sent by heaven. Especially after the cultivation level reaches a critical point, it is not tolerated by the law of heaven, and the heavenly punishment will be sent down to kill it. This is the heavenly catastrophe.
Ordinary people can live up to a hundred years, and this is the way of heaven.
Cultivators of Tianyuan and below only extend this age slightly, and it will not lead to heavenly calamity.
But if you want to break through the golden elixir or even a higher realm, and extend your life span to a great extent, it will not be tolerated by heaven, and heaven will definitely punish you and destroy your divine form.
Therefore, breaking through the realm of golden elixir is a big hurdle. After passing this hurdle, you will usher in a brand new world and step into a new field. With a lifespan of five or six hundred years, you can truly change your life against the odds.
Breaking through the divine realm from the golden elixir is a big hurdle. As long as you break through, you will officially enter the path of cultivating immortals, and your lifespan will reach more than a thousand years. This is also the state that every cultivator dreams of achieving.
However, the journey of cultivating Taoism and immortality is like a pyramid. The higher you go up, the fewer people there are, and the number decreases geometrically.
At least 40% to 50% of Kaiyuan cultivators can enter the Lingtai realm, and with the use of some drugs, this proportion will be even higher.
After the Lingtai broke through Tianyuan, the proportion dropped significantly, to less than 20%. The ratio of Tianyuan's breakthrough to Golden elixir is even more disappointing. There is only one person in a thousand, and they must be talented people or charming people.
But this is only one of them, because the world is so big and there are countless cultivators. With such a large base, there must be a lot of geniuses in the world. However, not all of these Tianjiao characters can reach higher realms, and they are also subject to resource constraints.
For example, in a small town like Tu Yan, even if you are extremely talented, it would be difficult to break through to the golden elixir realm because the training materials are too poor.
And Anping, Dingbei and even most of the main cities do not have sufficient resources to support Jindan masters to break through to the divine realm.
Only a super giant city like Suiling and a super sect like the Eight Great Forces can collect the world's most precious treasures to help talented golden elixir masters break through to the divine realm.
Therefore, there are few people among casual cultivators who have broken through to the highest realm, unless their Qi Yuan is exceptionally good. This is the main reason why Zhou Yang tried every means to create his own business alliance.
In addition to the above two aspects, there is a more important point, which is to survive the natural punishment, that is, the natural disaster.
Naturally, there will be a calamity when breaking through the golden elixir, but it cannot be called a heavenly calamity. It is just a calamity of the elixir and the inner demon. Heavenly calamity will only occur when breaking through the divine realm.
But the pill tribulation and the inner demon tribulation are also terrifying and extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die.
A large number of talented and talented people died during the catastrophe, that is, they were accepted by God.
If the opportunity for a breakthrough is reached, how to successfully survive the catastrophe has become a lifelong pursuit of the masters. Some work hard to improve their strength, while others rely on external objects.
Foreign objects include many methods, such as asking people to protect the law, setting up super strong defensive formations, or looking for treasures to overcome tribulations, etc., among which the latter two methods are extremely common.
There are some people who ask people to protect the Dharma, but they are very few. Because being exposed to the heavenly tribulation will also bring about the tribulation of the protector, who will go through the tribulation with him, so few people are willing to do this.
However, it is rare but not impossible. Some masters do not miss the holidays and their lifespan is short, so they volunteer to protect the younger generations and overcome the disasters.
Of course, there are also those who are forced to protect others.
There is also a secret technique spread in the cultivation world. If you capture a sufficient number of people who are similar to your own cultivation level and use them with a wonderful formation, you can greatly increase the probability of successfully overcoming the tribulation.
It just so happened that among the thirty-six Ways of Returning Yang Formation that Fei Lao passed down to Zhou Yang, there was one formation that fell into this category, called the Six Ways Defying Heaven Formation.
When breaking through the golden elixir, 18 fake elixir masters can be found lined up in the formation, each holding a treasure to help those who are robbed overcome the elixir fire tribulation. In addition, one hundred and eighty Tianyuan peak cultivators must be provided to assist in overcoming the tribulation.
When it comes to crossing the great tribulation of the divine realm, it is necessary to find thirty-six demigod masters and 360 golden elixir Dzogchen cultivators to help it overcome the tribulation, and the conditions are even more stringent.
During the Dan Tribulation and Divine Realm Tribulation, if the required masters cannot be gathered together, the number of people will increase tenfold for each level lowered.
Regardless of whether those who endured the calamity can survive the calamity, the souls of those who helped the calamity will all be gone, and they will never be reincarnated.
Obviously, this formation is extremely cruel and bloody. It is against the harmony of heaven and is not tolerated by the world of cultivation.
Using this method to overcome the pill tribulation can increase the success rate by 60%, but when crossing the divine realm tribulation, the success rate can only increase by 30%.
But this is already terrifying. Coupled with the cultivator's own strength and the success rate brought by many treasures, using this method to overcome the calamity can reach at least 90%, or even 100%!
Even when crossing the divine realm, the success rate will not be too low.
Zhou Yang had not carefully studied this formation before, but recalling it now, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
When I broke through the Golden Core realm, in order to successfully overcome the disaster, I had to use the lives of eighteen fake elixir masters and one hundred and eighty Tianyuan peak cultivators to cope with the disaster. It is incredible to think about it.
Needless to say whether he could find so many masters, even if he found them, could he bear to let so many people die?
The powerful person who created this formation was extremely talented and extremely talented, but he must also be a murderous demon without batting an eyelid.
Seeing Zhou Yang fall into a sluggish state, Liang Qiuhong thought he was shocked, so he said: "With your and my cultivation, we can't even think about such a good thing as finding the treasure to overcome the tribulation."
"I understand." Zhou Yang was awakened from his thoughts and couldn't help but nodded, and then said: "By the way, what are your plans next?"
"Since we've come to Yufeng Mountain, let's try our luck."
The two chatted for a while, and then Zhou Yang knew that Liang Qiuhong was a descendant of the Liangqiu family in Suiling Southwest City.
The Liangqiu family is not weak in strength. It is a first-class family second only to the eight major forces. It does a lot of business, but its relationship with the Bo family is average and it is a neutral family in Southwest City.
