Chapter 184 Tongtianze
It is said that we are going to Chaoge, but in fact, the place where the alliance will be held is not in Chaoge, but near Chaoge. Choose a place with abundant spiritual energy.
The princes who come to join the alliance will more or less bring some troops and horses, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands. The eight hundred princes combined will have at least one million troops.
There are too many people and Chaoge cannot be accommodated at all.
It is not a problem of food, but a problem of spiritual energy. Millions of senior monks are breathing in spiritual energy day and night. Even if Chaoge is a large commercial capital, it cannot afford it.
They only need to stay in Chaoge for a few years to drain all of Chaoge's spiritual veins.
There are too many mortals who need to worry about food and grass supplies. Monks also have the same troubles. If a large number of monks gather in one place, they need to consider whether the spiritual energy nearby is enough.
This is also the reason why under the rule of the princes, the majority are mortals and there are few monks. The spiritual veins are limited and cannot support too many monks.
Don’t you think those princes don’t want to be like Longzhou and turn all the people under their rule into monks? They want to, they dream about it, but they really can't do it.
Conditions really do not allow it. Even a capital like Chaoge cannot afford to support too many monks.
If the number of monks in the country exceeds the limit that it can accommodate, then there will not be many options left for the vassal states to compete for limited resources.
Either external expansion or falling into civil strife, there is no third way.
The monks also have problems with land annexation and uneven distribution of resources. They just have different names, but the essence is the same.
Everyone talks about increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, but at present, Ao Bing has succeeded in increasing revenue. The other forces, let alone increasing revenue, cannot even reduce expenditure.
The essence of the Fengshen Killing Tribulation is to reduce expenditures. Is it possible to save it? If Hengkong Ao Bing hadn't been born, the Conferring God Killing Tribulation would have ended with the world shattering.
Get a hammer!
No matter how the heaven and earth are restrained, it will harm the interests of the saints, causing the prehistoric world to become worse with more restraints.
Therefore, cutting expenditure is not advisable, only increasing revenue is the right way!
……
The location where the princes formed an alliance is located in Tongtianze.
The name Tongtianze has nothing to do with Tongtian Cult Leader, but comes from Tongtian Jianmu.
In legend, Tongtianze is the place where the top innate spiritual root Tongtian Jianmu grows. This is the tallest sacred tree in the world, connecting the two worlds of heaven and man.
Building trees have green leaves, purple stems, black flowers, and yellow fruits. They make no sound underneath and have no shadow when standing.
Tongtianze, one of the great swamps in the wild, was formed by dew from the canopy of the building trees falling on the ground and becoming stagnate over time.
The name Tongtianze comes from this. During the reign of Emperor Zhuanxu, he was the Jedi Tiantong and once cut down Jianmu, but Tongtianze was preserved.
However, without Jianmu, Tongtianze has become a sourceless water, and its area has been shrinking. As of today, it is no longer what it was like at its peak.
But even so, the remaining Tongtianze is still a rare treasure land in the wild. The water inside is all innate divine water, which constantly releases innate essence outwards, nourishing countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
A million soldiers eating horse chews requires so much spiritual energy that even Chaoge’s spiritual veins cannot support it, but Tongtianze can.
This is also the reason why the princes alliance was held in Tongtianze. If it were replaced by any other place, it would not be able to support so many people.
……
Although the dragon boat was fast and could travel hundreds of millions of miles in the thirty-sixth layer of the void in the blink of an eye, because Ao Bing set out late, by the time he arrived at Tongtianze, almost all the other princes had arrived. Well, this was done deliberately by Ao Bing, making the final appearance so that all the princes in the world could witness the power of the dragon boat.
“Tongtianze is ahead!”
On the bow of the dragon boat, Ao Bing looked forward, and what appeared in front of him was a vast ocean.
Daze, that is, big water, is bigger than the lake. At this time, Dongting Lake is not called Dongting Lake, but Dongting Lake, which is as vast as the ocean and stretches as far as the eye can see.
"If you can be the Dragon King in Tongtianze, it will be much more comfortable than the Dragon King of the East China Sea."
After staring at Tongtianze for a while, Ao Bing couldn't help but sigh. In his opinion, when it comes to area, Tongtianze is definitely not as big as the East China Sea. Even if it is at its peak of recovery, it will be the same if it is tens of thousands of times larger.
But when it comes to quality, Tongtianze surpasses Donghai by a lot. The water in the East China Sea is ordinary sea water, but the water in Tongtianze is innate divine water.
Jianmu is the spiritual root of innate wood, which governs vitality. Its dew contaminates its breath, and the vitality it contains can be imagined.
If a mortal takes a sip, he can at least extend his life for a thousand years. If he takes it all year round, he can live forever for a while.
The water in Tongtianze is all the dew of building trees. If you can practice in it, even if you do nothing but sleep for hundreds of thousands of years, you will be able to become a Da Luo Jinxian when you open your eyes.
“Long Bo was joking, Tongtianze is the foundation and greatest heritage of Dashang.”
“To prevent it from drying up, we didn’t even dare to develop it. Instead, we sealed it and kept it open every day. It is only opened once every few thousand years as a place for the princes to gather together."
"Long Bo wants to practice in it, which is tantamount to destroying the lifeblood of Da Shang. How can they agree?"
The Turtle Xiang who came with Ao Bing, after hearing his emotion, was afraid that he might get Tianze's idea, so he quickly reminded him.
The Turtle Xiang of the Human Dragon Kingdom is an old man of the Dragon Clan. He was born during the Xia Dynasty millions of years ago. It can be said that he witnessed the establishment of the Great Shang with his own eyes.
So we know that the key to the rise of Great Shang, apart from the help of Jie Jiao, is also to seize control of Tongtianze in the war between princes.
Tongtianze, one of the nine great swamps in the prehistoric times, has countless resources.
After Dashang seized it, he relied on the resources inside to train countless masters. Only then, with the help of Jie Jiao, did he overthrow Daxia and establish Dashang.
It can be said that Tongtianze is the lifeblood of Dashang. I am not willing to use it. If outsiders want to go in and practice, it is almost like a dream.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in Tongtianze. What I'm interested in is Tongtian Jianmu."
Ao Bing is sitting on Longzhou. He really doesn't like Tongtianze, which is about to dry up, but he is interested in Tongtianze, which created Tongtianze. Jian Mu, but he was very interested.
Tongtian Jianmu is one of the top ten innate spiritual roots in the world, and its value is comparable to the innate treasure. Just a drop of dew can create Tongtian Ze, one of the nine sacred lakes in the prehistoric times. It's extraordinary as you can imagine.
If you can get Tongtian Jianmu, then you also need Tongtianze, you can create a new one at any time.
“By the way, Mr. Turtle, you are well-informed, do you know the whereabouts of Tongtian Jianmu?”
"The rumors only say that Tongtian Jianmu was cut down by Emperor Zhuanxu, but there is no explanation of its whereabouts. The tree body may have been taken away by Emperor Zhuanxu, but what about the roots? Tongtianze is still there, but where did the roots of Tongtian Jianmu go?"< br>
Thinking of Tongtian Jianmu, Ao Bing became curious and asked Turtle Xiang.
The next chapter will be updated during the day tomorrow. I have to think carefully about how to write it later
