At the border of Forbidden State and Zhongzhou, there is the Long Ridge Mountains that goes straight to the sky.
The main peak of the mountain range, which is also the highest point, is the giant city of Tianji where the Zhaoyan Immortal Sect is located. From this giant city, there are more than forty giant cities radiating to the north. There are countless small and medium-sized cities, all of which are prosperous in the immortal way and have powerful monks everywhere. Where to go.
Minglu Pass is located at the southwest end of the Changji Mountains. The tall mountains gradually level off here and begin to transition to the wilderness. A few hundred miles further to the west is the Congzhou area where monsters and spirits live. It can be said that this pass is the jurisdiction of the human race. The end of the world is also the last pass of the long border.
Not to mention compared to the nine thunderous passes of the human race, but also compared to the other 138 smaller passes, Minglu Pass can only be regarded as the brilliance of fireflies.
The last large-scale battle between the human race and the evil spirits in the Forbidden City should have been the three-pass rebellion of Zhiling Pass, Fengyu Pass, and Bating Pass more than 800 years ago. There were three externalized venerables in each of the nine passes. Seventeen, eight people were killed in the Three Passes Rebellion!
Then Zhaoyan defended, Taiyuan rushed to help, and the other human clans and city forces assisted, finally repelling the evil spirit.
Both sides were seriously injured in this battle. The demons retreated to the Forbidden State, and the human race had no power to pursue them. After eight hundred years of cultivation, no major war broke out.
The evil forces in the Forbidden State are different in the east and west, showing a state of prosperity in the east and decline in the west. The chaos in the three passes caused trouble at the three passes in the east of the Jiuda Pass. After the war stopped, the human race focused on rebuilding the city here.
As for the western part where Minglu Pass is located, the demons are weak, and the zombie demons are of a lower level, so medium-sized and large-scale battles are rare.
In addition, due to the trade between the human race and the Congzhou monster clan and spirits, nearby cities gradually prospered, and the relatively stable days led to a surge in population. Many cities began to expand outwards, forming new cities. Among them, the small city of Yumeng expanded to the west. , six micro-settlements with a population of tens of thousands, collectively known as Minglu Six Towns, and Minglu Pass was born from this.
The population is small and the level of the surrounding demons is low. In order to ensure that the limited combat power can be fully utilized, the cultivation level of the human monks stationed here is only slightly higher than that of the demons outside the pass.
And if a war is about to break out and the monks of Minglu Pass are unable to resist, there are also sky crossing formations set up in border towns. At that time, the people in the city can be quickly transferred to the city where the strong ones are stationed to take refuge. However, the six towns of Minglu will also follow. Deprecated.
Zhaoyan and Taiyuan nominally share the control of the nine major passes of the Changji Mountains. However, because Zhaoyan Xianzong is located in the south of Zhongzhou, close to the nine major passes, and the Changji Mountains are already under their jurisdiction, they are in charge of each major pass. Among them, Zhaoyan has always been the leader and Taiyuan the follower.
There are nine large passes, one hundred and thirty-eight medium-sized passes, and the remaining small passes are countless. The monks stationed at the border are never full. Zhaoyan then used the battlefield as a training ground for his disciples to fill the gaps in the garrison and strengthen the disciples' combat power!
Zhao Shun received the urgent news from the sect from Wanren Mountain. He knew that he would be in the sect for three years, and he had to return to the sect and go to a small pass with an order to practice for one year.
After she returned to the sect, she received this order from the Immortal Sect to station at Minglu Pass.
Along with her were five foundation-building disciples, all for this year's experience.
Before setting off, the sect also gave many elixirs, talismans, and even one yellow-level magic weapon, allowing the disciples to choose on their own.
The other five people mostly choose offensive weapons or things that can enhance their combat power. Zhao Chun Tong looked at himself. Due to his sword cultivation, only a long sword is enough for his combat power, so it is better to find a protective magic weapon. .
With this amount, she took a piece of yellow-grade high-grade treasure clothing, which was a clothing-type body-protecting weapon and was used for close defense.
The six people were fully prepared and immediately set off for Minglu Pass to complete the handover with the disciples who had been stationed in the previous year.
"I don't know what the situation is like at the border. I heard that the Sixth Town of Minglu enters the border of Congzhou a few hundred miles to the west. Most of the towns are filled with foreign races, and there are also quite a few half-demon born from human races."
Although there are also activities of monsters and spirits in the giant cities, due to the strong power of the human race, although there is an agreement between the two races on equal exchanges in name, these cities are still dominated by human monks and common people. If the monsters and spirits want to enter, they must enter. Follow the rules, and if you go beyond the rules, you will be displeased by the strong people of the human race, who will then take action to suppress them.
If you encounter a city that is guarded by conservative monks, you will even issue a ban to prohibit monsters and spirits from entering the city, and any offenders will be shot.
Tianji City is under the rule of Zhao Yan, and the city is relatively enlightened. However, because of this, it is governed by one of the most powerful sects in the human race, and it also shows a tendency for humans to be strong and demons to be weak.
Except for Zhao Chun, who came from the lower realm, the rest of the six were born in Tianji City or other giant cities. When they were young, they first entered the outer courtyard of the Immortal Sect to practice, and then they were introduced as disciples after building the foundation. The concept that has been formed in their hearts for a long time is The human race is tyrannical, and the monsters and spirits must bow their heads.
As soon as I heard that in Minglu Sixth Town, there were not only monsters and spirits living together, but they were even on an equal footing with the human race, I was a little unbelievable.
The person who spoke was named Lu Shengcai. He was in the late stage of foundation building. He was one of the four people in the late stage of foundation building. The other two were only in the middle stage of foundation building. Not only was he born in Tianji City, but his parents were both disciples of the Zhaoyan sect. He had a somewhat arrogant temperament. Not long after the six of them formed a team, they saw him acting like the leader of the team.
Those who can enter the Zhaoyan Immortal Sect are all geniuses in the eyes of ordinary monks.
Since he was a genius, he was so proud that he would not be willing to succumb to others. Lu Shengcai so naturally regarded himself as the leader of the team. Others were more or less dissatisfied, but they never said anything about it.
"After all, it is a border town. How can it be compared with a huge city? And it is close to Congzhou. Naturally, those monsters and spirits will gain power." Lu Shengcai usually rarely gets people to agree with his words, but this time there was another person. answer him.
Wan Ru is also one of the four late-stage foundation builders. She entered Taoism and practiced Taoism later than others. She is the oldest among the six. Besides her, the next closest is Zhao Chun.
In the world of cultivation, the younger the age when introducing Qi into the body, the better. If the body is too young and the body has not yet grown, the introduction of spiritual energy into the body will damage the physical body. Most of them began to test their spiritual roots at the age of six, and then strengthened their blood and broadened their meridians to prepare for the introduction of Qi into the body.
Even Zhao Chun, who was born in the world of Hengyun, had already gone through the stage of physical cultivation before channeling qi, let alone the upper world where the inheritance was more complete.
Therefore, most spiritual root monks start to introduce Qi into their bodies and enter the first level of Qi training when they are eight to ten years old, and successfully build the foundation at the age of twelve or thirteen.
The several foundation-building disciples in front of Zhao Shun, except for Wan Ru and herself, are all fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys with slightly immature faces and different mentalities between them.
Hearing Wan Ru say that the monster race has become powerful, a young man named Yue Shaozhou who was in the middle stage of foundation building immediately said angrily: "I only dare to show off in the border areas. If you dare to come to me and cause trouble, you must be more powerful than these foreigners!"
Next to him, Yuan Sui'er, another female cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, also nodded in agreement, with a stern look on her face.
