(2-in-1)
The sea is magnificent.
This was the only thought that came to all the Zhang family members as they looked at the coastline with huge waves tens of feet in the distance.
It has been three months since they arrived at Shenting Dayuetian.
"Sir, the master of the house is looking for you." Fu Ying stood a few feet behind Zhang Qing, while the latter sat quietly on the edge of the cliff, watching the ebb and flow of the tide ahead and the sunset filling the sky.
Behind the two of them, thousands of meters away, there were even more majestic cliffs that formed a rugged world. On top of them, red palaces and tall buildings were built in just a few months, looking directly at the ocean in front of them.
This place used to have a very nice name, but after the Zhang family arrived, everything in the past no longer mattered.
The current name is - Chilang Gorge.
This is the title given by the Zhang family, and it is also the Zhang family’s new hometown.
Three months ago, the Zhang family followed many giant boats from Shenting through the empty gate. After arriving at Shenting in one step, they were arranged to this area.
No one came to pick up the Zhang family. Only Lian Shoulun and the monks from Shenting followed them. After confirming that they would settle in Chilang Gorge, they returned to where they should go.
Also leaving were Zhang Sanyang and Zhang Shenling. They will accept certain positions in Shenting, but it is said that they are empty positions.
As for the Ziyue Immortal Palace that allowed the Zhang family to annex the Divine Court, no one showed up from the beginning to the end, and it seemed that they never cared about small forces like the Zhang family.
Yes, within the invisible boundary of Shenting, the nearly ten immortals of the Zhang family, Golden Lotus, can only be called a small force.
There are many such families or sects around, as well as more micro-powers.
In front of Shenting, the arrival of a family like the Zhang family will naturally not make any waves, but within tens of thousands of miles around Chilang Gorge, it is like a giant crocodile wandering in the shoals. In just three months, no one knows How many people came to test it.
Of course, in front of Zhang Qing, all the temptations became illusions, and Fengyu Towers began to spring up on the land.
A total of six families that threatened the Zhang family appeared in Zhang Qing's eyes. In addition, even he was shocked by the prosperity of cultivation in this land.
Evil ghost? It doesn't exist. The monks here haven't heard of the name Yinsi in countless years, and they even dismiss the evil spirits among them.
No one doubts the power of the Yinsi, but these people's confidence is understandable.
In three months, Zhang Qing visited dozens of surrounding cities. In every city, he could feel the powerful formation fluctuations, and among them, ten people could find a monk.
This is the corner of Shenting, which shocked the Zhang family to this day, and still cannot completely calm down.
"The world is full of prosperous times for cultivators, and the Zhang family will surely rise in it!" These are the words of the five ancestors who couldn't help but express their heroic spirit after seeing this.
They couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if the Zhang family had been born in such a prosperous age from the beginning.
"When you get old, you just can't help but have random thoughts." Finally, Zhang Shenwen spoke out, stopping all the old guys from the family from having their whims.
For three months, the Zhang family did not do anything outside of Chilang Gorge. They were busy building a brand new territory that belonged entirely to the Zhang family.
The numerous mountains and palaces and tall buildings behind him are the best proof.
"I heard that every ten years, the sea will set off a red wave and hit the coastline." Zhang Qing did not respond to Fu Ying's words, but said to himself, looking at the cliffs hundreds of feet below his feet.
On the cliff, there are vaguely rich spiritual ideas and various Taoist charms. Originally, there should be many people watching here in order to get some moments of enlightenment, but now they are all gone, and they were driven away by the Zhang family.
When I first arrived, everything seemed calm, but in fact, various undercurrents were already very lively.
"I heard that the Divine Court replaces the moon in the sky every hundred years, and it can even cover up the brightness of the moon that shines on the world."
Shenting, when they were in Yunmengze, was a giant to the Zhang family, but now that the Zhang family has settled in Shenting, they still find that Shenting is still so high and high, and it is difficult to see monks who directly belong to Shenting.
"I heard that in the far distance of this sea, there are islands that look like continents, suspended above the stormy waves like giant turtles."
Chilang Gorge is right on the coastline. This is the boundary of the Divine Court. When you open your eyes, you can see the boundless sea, just like the vast sky above your head.
The Zhang family is here, and there are only two directions in which they pay the most attention to the outside world. One is the prosperity of the earth's cultivation world, and the other is the magnificence of the ocean.
Is the Sunless Sea considered a sea? It has never been as turbulent as before, nor is it as blue as this ocean, nor is it so rich in vitality that Zhang Qing dare not go deep into it easily.
He once witnessed with his own eyes a sea beast that was more than ten feet high, leaped hundreds of meters into the sky, and swallowed a flying bird, and the latter also had the cultivation level of the Golden Lotus in its early stages.
Although this area cannot be filled with so-called golden lotuses, Zhang Qing was still amazed by the frequent sighting of them.
"It is said that……"
Zhang Qing talked a lot by himself, just like when he was young, he sat alone on the top of the green mountain and looked at the clouds rolling in the distance.
He heard a lot of things that Yun Mengze had never heard of, and he wanted to see them all.
"Master." Behind him, Fu Ying finally waited for a moment to speak, "The head of the family is back."
Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Qing took a deep breath and stood up.
"What do you want from me?"
"I don't know, but many clan elders have already gone there. They must have something to discuss."
Zhang Qing was aware that in a blink of an eye, he had appeared on a towering height a thousand meters away and landed in front of a large hall.
There were already many people waiting there. Zhang Qing found his seat, sat down, and waited quietly.
Next to them were Zhang Mingxian, Zhang Liang and Zhang Junye. None of the three clan brothers were talkative people, but they still couldn't help but exchange their feelings about Shenting.
Soon, Zhang Shenling arrived and sat on the head of the family, his expression not optimistic.
"I believe that you have gained some understanding of the area around Chilang Gorge in the past few months, but I still want to say a few more words."
"The Divine Court, which is the territory we are in, is located on the shore of White Water. White Water is the ocean in front of us."
"The Shenting area is divided into ancient countries and dynasties, and Dayuetian where we are is an ancient dynasty."
"As for why the Divine Court has such a distinction, we still don't know why."
"And the age of Dayuetian is said to be traceable back to before the thirty-three days were shattered."
As soon as these words came out, many people opened their eyes in disbelief.
Although the Thirty-Three Days of Shattering is often mentioned by everyone, everyone knows that it happened in the extremely long time ago. Time can change the sea, change the stars, and everything may decay in the face of time. ruins.
The fact that Dayuetian can exist for such a long time can already explain a lot of things.
Zhang Shenling waited until everyone calmed down again before continuing to speak.
"All forces within Dayuetian must surrender to Dayuetian as long as a golden lotus is born."
"Every force needs to receive an identity in Dayuetian. This identity does not have any privileges. Even if it dies, Dayuetian will not care why he died. It is a symbol."
A silver jade token appeared in Zhang Shenling's hand, "The identity I received is considered a false position as a military general."
"Normally, you don't need to do anything and you won't get anything. Every force around you that has a golden lotus plant should have such an identity."
"And once Da Yuetian recruits, then the entire force needs to be at the disposal of the imperial court to defend against foreign enemies or to fight against other countries."
"It's really overbearing." After Zhang Shenling said this, some clan elders were speechless.
"It's true that you are overbearing. It has no benefits. You still have to fight life and death for Dayuetian. This is the change brought about by strength. They don't need to care about your life or death, but you must take great pains to observe the intentions of the dynasty."
"You don't have to worry about anything. As far as I know, this identity is only used at critical times. Currently, around Chilang Gorge, the millions of miles of territory under the supervision of Shenting Miye City have not used these vassals for thousands of years. "
Zhang Shenling looked around and said, "In addition to these things about Shenting, I also learned one thing, and that is the Purple Moon Immortal King's Mansion."
No matter what, the Zhang family was able to follow the Shenting team and come here without any danger, all because of the Purple Moon Immortal King's Mansion. Many people in the Zhang family naturally believed that the family had already been marked with that label after coming to the Shenting.
Naturally, they will also worry about whether there are factions in the Divine Court and whether they will be affected.
Zhang Shenling gave the answer, "The title of Purple Moon Immortal King originated from the beginning of Dayuetian's establishment. Until today, there has never been a strong person in the Earth Immortal Realm in that Immortal King's Mansion."
Hearing this, many people felt relieved and at the same time were shocked in their hearts, Earth Immortal.
They had seen such powerful people in the fragmented world carried by the Xuanwu God, and there were quite a few of them, but this did not mean that the powerful people in that realm were nothing.
On the contrary, only after seeing it with your own eyes can you understand that even if you plant a golden lotus, the gap between you and that realm is as big as the sky.
"Purple Moon Immortal Prince's Palace rarely participates in the internal affairs of the dynasty, so the family probably won't be noticed."
"This is the divine court we are in. All the information I can learn so far."
After Zhang Shenling finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Qing, "The environment of Shenting is like this, but it is too far away from us. What is the situation around Chilang Gorge?"
Zhang Qing pondered for a moment, then stood up and spoke in a clear voice.
"Chilang Gorge is actually not peaceful."
"Within 100,000 miles around us, there are more than fifty forces that have golden lotuses. Moreover, as for the identity that the head of the family just mentioned, it may be necessary to add that it is the divine court's target for the immortal method."
"Mortal monks still account for more than 90% of the number here. Only when they reach the Tianmen realm will the Divine Court pay attention to giving them such identity tokens."
"Among these forces, there are about six that are closest to Chilang Gorge and whose apparent strength poses a threat to the family."
The flames spread in the void to form a vast world, which was a map centered on Chilang Gorge.
"To the east of us, there's endless white water, and it's not clear what's in the ocean."
"And to the north of us, there are three immortal cultivating families." Three bright flashes appeared on the map, and then the light radiated around them, forming a winding territory.
"The Qianhai Kang family, the Mengxia Yu family, and the Haigui Liang family all have at least one person with the ninth golden lotus in charge. The immortal magic within the family has been passed down for a long time, and the golden lotus has never been cultivated from generation to generation."
After speaking, Zhang Qing pointed to the south again, "There are two forces in the south. One is on the edge of the Immortal Monument Mountain Range and is called the Wuzi Shenxian Sect. The other is closest to the Chilang Gorge and the Yan family in Chenshan."
"Ximian, in my opinion, should be the strongest cultivation force, the Shushan Sect. They do not rely on the ocean, but they occupy more than 30% of the resources within 70,000 miles of the west."
"In addition to these six families, there are also various forces, large and small. The arrival and settlement of the family in Chilang Gorge may not actually attract too much attention from those six families, but these forces. After all, our family, There is no one who has grown golden lotus in the later stage.”
"In the past few months, the family has occupied Chilang Gorge and driven away many people. I think there will be many people testing it."
Not far away, Ancestor Zhang Shenyuan nodded, "Yes, in three months, at least a thousand people have approached this place. Those of us who went out to inquire about information have also encountered a lot of difficulties. They are testing our strength."
"This matter has almost been arranged. The family has just arrived. The most urgent thing at the moment is to plant the resources we have, open up spiritual fields, and find suitable spiritual veins. Especially those few spiritual stone source crystals, we still need to find a place to bury them. Down."
"Resources can still be used in a short period of time, but within a year at most, the family's resources will be tight."
Everyone looked at Zhang Shenling, who nodded, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Then... let's get in touch with them."
"Since it's a test, let's test them to see what their strength is."
"If it doesn't work!"
The eyes of everyone present flashed with cold light. When they arrived at Chilang Gorge, the Zhang family's territory was much smaller, and each of them was holding their breath.
There is no reason that when they come to the Divine Court, they should shrink their territory and get fewer resources.
There is one thing about Zhang Shenling that can be said to give everyone confidence, that is, Shenting will not care about everyone's life or death.
One by one the clansmen left, and in the end, there were only a dozen people left in the hall.
The formation barrier was opened, and Zhang Shenling blocked out all external sounds and possible peeping.
"My name is Dayuetian, Bai Jun's vanguard general." Zhang Shenling said before anyone could ask doubts.
"This position is a false one, but it is also a false one as the vanguard of the Holy Court's foreign expeditions."
"Other than that, Chilang Gorge is not that peaceful." Zhang Shenling looked forward and saw the vast ocean through the main hall.
"When the sword and the bell appeared, or in other words, when the Xuanwu spirit arrived at the Million Mountains, Buddha's light appeared all over the ocean."
"A Buddha came to this world, destroyed most of the living beings in the 3,500 states on the ocean, and saved the remaining living beings."
"Above the calm ocean, there are now sparsely populated people and all life is in ruins!"
Zhang Qing's eyes flickered. He had heard of this term "three thousand five hundred states".
