There is a vast Central Plains in the world of Tianyuan, surrounded by four seas and eight wastelands. There are thousands of countries and countless creatures on it.
How big it is, I'm afraid those old antiques hiding in the cave can't give a clear answer.
It is recorded in many ancient books that it is boundless, once accommodated the species of all heavens, and ranked at the pinnacle of the three thousand worlds.
However, even in this big world, because of the fall of Bai Emperor, it has made great progress.
Zhou Bai didn't know how many remnants there were in the Thirty-three Heavens, but judging from his own experience and experience, the area where the spiritual veins and rivers existed was already far beyond the Jinting Cave Heaven.
If it were a treasure land like the Central Region where luck always existed, its spiritual energy concentration should be comparable to the next few days of the Thirty-three Heavens, not to mention practicing Taoism, even becoming a Mahayana immortal would be possible.
Since the spring thunder of the sixth year of Tongzhi, news of monks surviving tribulations has spread from various places.
Below the level of a true immortal, there are only two realms for monks to overcome tribulations, one is the Yangshen, and the other is the Mahayana.
Even if he is in the Yangshen realm, he is still a great figure among ordinary people. He can be respected as a true king by mortals and low-level monks.
Before this, usually every ten or twenty years in the forty-eight states, a Yin God would choose to break through the tribulation, and it was not known whether he could succeed.
Now in just a few months, the number of Yangshen has increased by at least dozens, which shows how rich the emperor's legacy is.
This state-breaking carnival will last until June, until the overhaul of a hidden cave in Western Shu is completed and the nine major catastrophes are overcome.
The calamity thunder only sent out the sixth wave and dispersed the calamity clouds. This naturally meant that it was unsuccessful.
But according to reliable information from the local sect, Daxiu is not dead, and at least he has become a loose immortal.
If you succeed in overcoming the tribulation, you will become a Mahayana person, and you can become a true immortal; if you fail to overcome the tribulation without dying, you will become a loose immortal, possessing some of the power of the fairyland.
A period of time, a hundred years or more, no one in Tianyuan Continent has survived the Mahayana tribulation for many years.
The main and more terrifying thing is that with the current energy level of the human world, this loose immortal no longer needs to hide in the cave to delay the flow of energy, and can walk in the human world without any obstacles.
There are immortals in Western Shu. These four words instantly lifted the whole world to an infinite level, and many old antiques were ready to move.
The princes of various states have basically settled down. If they don't take action to play chess, I am afraid that future interests will not be guaranteed.
Time flies, the glory of the ancient Taoist court, and those sects undergoing major repairs, how could they not have delusions in their hearts.
The Taoist court rules the world, and the sect controls the human kingdom. The monks sit in the clouds and can use their luck and spiritual resources at will with the move of their fingers.
Since the human world can inherit the realm, why should we stick to the rules of heaven? How can we really hide such a big thing as Bai Di's death?
However, Zhou Bai believes that people like Bai Di may not die completely.
He thought of the big white star that fell in Xishu, or could he keep a ray of true spirit and be reincarnated?
The Emperor of Heaven has vast supernatural powers, so it is natural for him to have some back-ups.
In the palace city, there is a specially raised star-catching tower, built of spiritual materials and fixed with Taoism.
Because of its special location, it is often possible to have a panoramic view of the overall situation. Generally, only a few people can climb the stairs.
Zhou Bai climbed up the stairs to catch the stars that day, looking far into the distance, using his Perfect Level Qi-gazing Technique at full power to observe the weather in Xishu.
Qi-gazing technique: The lower one observes the feng shui of the mountains, the middle one observes the misfortunes and fortunes of people, and the upper one observes the rise and fall of the country's destiny.
After Zhou Bai reached consummation, he naturally had all three, and could see everything.
Pei Ran's magic power filled his eyes, with traces of purple meaning hidden inside. Then his luck connected with the Great Xia Zhu, making the atmosphere of Xishu shine into his eyes.
You can see it, but after all, it is still separated by mountains and rivers, and Yang Shen's magic power is not enough to maintain the stalemate, so he can only do it with the help of the national destiny of Daxia.
I saw clear water, green mountains, a basin, surrounded by great rivers, and a splendid river...
The forty-eight states in the world are divided into five major areas, namely the Central Territory, Dongtai, Southern Territory, Western Shu, and Northern Territory.
If you study the map a little, you will find that the division of the five regions is based on natural barriers as boundaries.
However, Western Shu is slightly different. Among its seven states, six states are surrounded by basins and mountains. Only Qinzhou hangs outside the Sichuan River and borders Liangzhou in the north.
This is not a unique administrative division of Daxu, but a common choice of many dynasties in history.
An old saying goes: Before the world is in chaos, Shu will be in chaos first; if the world is already at peace, it will be difficult for Shu to be at peace.
Xishu's unique location has always been a battleground for military strategists, and it is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In ancient times, Li Sheng controlled floods in Western Shu, leaving behind many water conservancy facilities that were among the best in the world, forming thousands of miles of fertile land.
From then on, the land of Shu was known as the land of abundance. The people of Shu were self-sufficient and did not know about hunger.
Therefore, every time the dynasty collapsed, the heroic Qianlong liked to regard Xishu as the place where he started, and he would take action if there was any chaos outside.
As long as the Shu Road is defended, it can be fought behind closed doors. It is much less difficult to establish a separate kingship and establish a foundation.
A self-sufficient and prosperous place, coupled with a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, makes it difficult for the outstanding people inside to have ambitions.
Since ancient times, there have been many loyal ministers and Mu Shou who have changed their faces as soon as they entered Western Shu. This is a characteristic of Shu dragon energy, which is naturally inspiring.
"The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky."
The purpose of moving Qinzhou to Western Shu was to use Qinzhou to control the Shu road and break the lock on the dragon.
When the white star fell, the land of Western Shu received the most fortune, and this was how the Sanxian became an instant success.
This is true in terms of personal cultivation. Naturally, the Qianlongs of various countries have also benefited from it. Everyone knows that this period is the most important moment.
Zhou Bai counted carefully and found that in addition to Qinzhou, there were actually eighteen heavenly pillars of different heights in the six states.
This shows that there are many separatist forces in Shu and the fierce competition.
Of course, the land of Shu is also blessed with great luck, and the Shu dragon has not chosen Allah, otherwise it would not be able to sustain such a situation.
Under the anger, the countries are fighting endlessly, the dragons and pythons are fighting each other, and the anger is ups and downs.
Fifteen of the eighteen heavenly pillars were unstable, and the country's fate seemed to be declining. Even while Zhou Bai was watching, one of the heavenly pillars collapsed, and the country's fate was destroyed.
Looking at the direction of luck, the three Shu dragons will become the winners, competing for the last Western Shu dragon energy.
The destiny lines are obvious and the progress is extremely fast. Shu may be the first unified region in the world.
If a dragon comes out of Shu at that time, the northern border will be the first to bear the brunt.
In Qinzhou, due to Daxu's early intervention, there was still no state established, and the structure of state, animal husbandry, county, and guard administration was maintained.
It can also be seen from this that Daxu has profoundly learned the lessons of the previous dynasty. Even when he wanted to seal the country, he still had to pay a huge price to directly govern Qinzhou.
Not for anything else, just to lock Shulong so as not to ruin the overall situation.
Between ancient Qinzhou and ancient Jianzhou, there was a huge mountain range running across it, named Suolong Ridge. Its name has been passed down to this day and is officially recognized.
Is it too difficult to lock down six states in one state?
In fact, this kind of layout is already considered as something that the Daxu royal family attaches great importance to.
Because the Shu dragon is inherently inert, it only likes to huddle in the dragon's cave in the basin and enjoy a comfortable life.
After the earth dragon veins in other places are defeated, they may move to another area and choose another mountain and river to live in, waiting for the time to come.
With only the Dragon Qi of Shu, even if it cannot become a true dragon, it will not leave Western Shu.
Historically, there have been many kings who were called King of Shu and Emperor of Shu, but they were always subtly influenced by the characteristics of the dragon spirit itself, and eventually the overall situation of locking the dragon was difficult.
Taking a closer look, in the vast land of Western Shu, there are many dragons, but only a handful of real dragons.
The situation of locking the dragon may change due to the death of Bai Emperor, Zhou Bai sighed silently in his heart.
This is the reason why he consumes the fortune of the country and also watches the Qi of Western Shu.
Now that Dingzhou is under control, it can be expanded in all directions.
To the north, there is the boundless grassland, on which there are big countries such as Jin, Rouran, and Xianbei, with millions of cavalry and tens of millions of herdsmen. If we can unify the grasslands, we won't lose any of our royal titles in the future, even if we become emperor, it's not a bad idea.
But in this way, you may miss the opportunity, and you will inevitably have to deal with the Black Emperor. In the end, you will fight against the Central Plains True Dragon who has created the destiny of the world, and you will most likely fail.
To the south is Daizhou. This route is quite satisfactory, and we may have to decide the winner in advance with King Ling.
To the east is Liaodong and Liaoxi, which can curb the rise of Yan in advance.
To the west is Liangzhou. This road not only faces the Jin Army, but also borders Qinzhou. It can be said that it is attacked from both sides. There is naturally only one reason for choosing this path, and that is to go to Qinzhou and Xishu.
The national destiny of Daxia is like firewood, and Tianzhu is the pillar, supporting Zhou Bai to see the biggest change in destiny.
How did a huge dragon exit appear in the dragon-locking barrier that cuts across Qinzhou and Jianzhou?
It turned out that the fallen white star had hit Suolong Ridge, creating a gap with its supreme power.
The core of the overall situation of Suolong is the basins and mountains surrounding Shu. Now that the most important Suolong Ridge has been smashed open, the situation of Suolong has been broken.
The smooth Qi veins and flowing Dragon Qi that Zhou Bai saw were all caused by Suolong Ridge being penetrated.
In this way, the difficulty of entering Shu is still the Jiangge Shu Road, but there is a smooth way out of Suolong Ridge.
Judging from the changes in the world's luck, Shu seems to be as powerful as the Central Region, and the probability of raising a true dragon is greatly increased.
Boom!
Just when Zhou Bai wanted to take a closer look and deduce the winner of the three Shu Jiaos at the expense of luck, a thunder exploded in the sky.
It is too much to pry into the secrets of heaven, and neither humanity nor heaven allow it.
Suddenly, a mist of luck rose in the sky over Western Shu, and three Sichuan dragons joined the branches to block the sight of the fish and dragon.
The gap in the giant ridge, the destroyed Dragon Lock Bureau, and the veins of luck are all hidden deep inside.
Zhou Bai sighed, stopped to look at his breath, and scattered the burning firewood of the national destiny.
He knew that if it weren't for his identity as Duke Xia and the candidate for the son of destiny, it would be difficult to find out the secret of the broken dragon chain.
Bai Di himself ended up too late, missed the opportunity, and definitely had no chance.
Do you want to help Shulong succeed and regain his position through cause and effect?
Zhou Baizhi holds the pearl in hand, looking for scattered traces of luck among the clues, and vaguely perceives the reincarnation arrangement after the death of the White Emperor.
But he didn't immerse himself in it for too long, and he calmly let it go without having a clue.
"Now that you have fallen, you can really make a comeback. Not to mention the four above, a Heavenly Emperor will definitely not be given to the saint below."
"Also, since you have lost your destiny, you must seize the opportunity to become a full-time official. The name of alternate is always unpleasant."
"The next step is to capture Liangzhou and Qinzhou, and then you will be qualified to be king. Then the right way to lock Shulong with the power of the King of Great Xia!"
The sea of clouds that flourished in Great Xia was rolling and undulating, with red and yellow ichthyosaurs moving through it, sometimes accompanied by excited dragon roars.
This is the luck dragon elephant's excitement at the confirmation of its goal. After two years of recuperation, it already wants to taste the taste of other dragons.
However, Zhou Bai could not send troops yet because he had just observed the weather in Xishu and saw changes in the calamity.
…
In July of the sixth year of Tongzhi, the countries of Tianyuan Continent were in the summer harvest season, which was originally the time when human luck was at its peak.
But in recent times, the natural disasters of the Xiangxing period have tended to return again.
On June 15th, the Central Region experienced an unprecedented earth dragon turnaround. Earthquakes of various sizes occurred continuously, affecting the seven states.
Even the core of Zhongzhou civilization, Daxu Longqin Town, was also affected by the disaster.
Countless houses in the city were destroyed, and the people were displaced. The majesty of the Daxu court, which had just been advocating the orthodoxy of destiny, was greatly damaged.
On June 20th, a plague broke out in the south of the Yangtze River. The ghost of the plague appeared and everyone was in danger.
At the end of June, a plague of locusts appeared in Jing Lake, and there were actually countless insect monsters among them.
The method of artificially exterminating locusts failed, and the Jinghu countries were unable to control them for a while, and thousands of hectares of fertile land were destroyed in one fell swoop.
Jinghu is ripe and the world is full.
The land in Jinghu has failed to harvest anything, and it has affected more than one state and one region.
This series of strange natural disasters seems to be in the order of the wealth of the forty-eight states in the Central Plains. Until July, the other three regions are also inevitable.
In early July, a hurricane passed through and the tributaries of the Tianjiang River were blocked...
Dongtai was suddenly flooded by sea water, causing numerous casualties and almost annihilating the coastal country.
The yin and yang of Western Shu reversed, and the ghosts rushed out of the forbidden area of Fengdu. The monks went down the mountain one after another, walking around in the world to kill the ghosts.
It snows in the north in July, livestock freezes to death, and the summer grain harvest is almost impossible.
People are panicked, the human destiny suddenly weakens, and the spiritual energy is strong, which does not affect the tragedy at all.
On July 30, the outline of the second round of the sun loomed in the sky, and the root cause of the chaos during this period was finally found.
It turned out to be caused by the Qingxu Realm approaching the Tianyuan Realm and the Qingxu Bad Qi invading the territory.
The world was in an uproar, the mortals were frightened, and the extraordinary monks were in disbelief.
Can a vast world still move? What are you doing here? Is it going to launch a war of annihilation or annexation?
And "big shots" like Zhou Bai, who knew some inside information, were also confused as to why they could move so fast.
How to calculate the speed of time in the outer world? It is said that it is separated by hundreds of Ganges sands and has to pass through the obstruction of many worlds?
The people inside Heavenly Court are either fighting for the legacy of the White Emperor, cleaning up the Thirty-three Heavens, or are busy fighting against the great enemy of Qingxu.
In short, the communication between the upper and lower realms is still interrupted. Even the shipping country cannot communicate through Tianzhu.
Zhou Bai can understand the posture of Heavenly Dao that seeks to connect heaven and earth. This is the best way to protect the human world.
Unexpectedly, just such an intrusion of evil spirit would cause chaos in the human world. If it were connected to heaven, who knows how much calamity pressure the human world would have to bear.
By virtue of his status as a candidate for the son of destiny, Zhou Bai tried to communicate with the will of heaven during the sacrifice to heaven, and got a vague answer.
The Qingxu evil spirit can be blocked by the boundary membrane, but it will take time to analyze the Qingxu rules.
Before it is completely stopped, the misfortune that breaks into the world can only be digested internally.
It’s hard to say when this will happen, it could happen in a year or a half.
Therefore, Heaven once again relaxed its suppression of humanity, just so that all countries could survive the disaster.
