Chapter 443 Recruitment and Selection of Tianmang Palace
This day.
Chen Jichuan, Zheng Jun and Lei Xin gathered in a teahouse.
This Lei Xin is Zheng Jun's good friend, who also came out of the 'Tianmang Realm'. He had just arrived in Xuanjing Sea at that time, and he had only reached the third realm of divine transformation, and was less than two thousand years old. Now, only eight hundred years later, he has already been promoted to the realm of divine transformation, and his future is limitless.
The two of them were both from the 'Tianmang Realm'. They met through Zheng Jun two months ago. They had contacted each other several times in the past two months and got along quite harmoniously.
The three of them got together again this day.
Chen Jichuan happened to hear a piece of news a few days ago: "I heard that there is an 'Ancient City of Quliang' in the south of our country of Ekong. Recently there are rumors that the 'Lord of Quliang City' who occupies this ancient city has already participated in the creation of nature. Solve the mystery of life and death, realize the secret of the fifth level, and will rise to the top in a short time. I wonder if this is true or not? "
This was the first time Chen Jichuan heard about someone being promoted to the fifth level.
Before, whether in the Daoguo World or Panlong Mountain, I had heard of Ascension. But even in the world of Chongming, those who ascended to the sky, such as Wang Yan and Yu Ming, were all stuck at the peak of the fourth level and failed to reach the fifth level.
But in the Xuanjing Sea, after Chen Jichuan heard the news about the 'Lord of Quliang City', he went to find out more about it, and found out that it turned out that the fourth-level peak here could not ascend, and only fifth-level monks could go to the upper world.
There were people who ascended to the Xuanjing Sea in the past, and there were more than one people recorded in history.
After they advance to the fifth level, no matter how difficult it is to stay in the Hanging Mirror Sea, they will all be expelled and ascend to the upper realm.
And now.
It is said that the 'Lord of Quliang City' will be the next fifth level and the next ascendant in the Xuanjing Sea.
"Lord of Quliang City."
"Not bad."
"I have also heard this news. I asked our commander some time ago. It is said that this rumor is 90% credible. The Ekong Kingdom will be mobilized during this period, and our twelve legions in the Shuofeng Region are also ordered not to take vacations. You are not allowed to leave the Twelve Cities and are waiting for dispatch at any time.”
"This is obviously preparation for the war. Once the 'Lord of Quliang City' really ascends, the 'Quliang Ancient City' he occupies will be vacant. An ancient city with a hanging mirror, I don't know how many enlightened people will fight for it. In the countries surrounding 'Quliang Ancient City', the kings will not miss this opportunity."
"It will definitely be an earth-shattering battle!"
Zheng Jun is a soldier of Shuofeng Legion. Being in Shuofeng Legion, he can get more detailed information. And some signs can also be seen from the actions of Shuofeng Legion.
Based on this combination, the news that the 'Lord of Quliang City' is going to break through and ascend is much more credible.
"The kings and city lords in the Xuanjing Sea are all enlightened ones at the peak of the fourth level and the four realms, and they are the strongest among the enlightened ones. They occupy ancient cities, and each ancient city can increase their life span for thousands of years. .”
"The 'Lord of Quliang City' is extremely talented. With his strength, he can occupy more than a dozen ancient cities and open up a country. However, he only occupied one 'Ancient City of Quliang' and stopped continuing. He is not even 40,000 years old now. The deadline for ordinary immortals has not yet been reached, and they are already at the fifth level and are about to ascend. It is really admirable!”
Raisin said from the side.
He has been in the Xuanjing Sea for eight hundred years, and he obviously pays a lot of attention to the 'Lord of Quliang City' not far away from Ekong Kingdom. When talking about it at this time, there is also a lot of admiration.
And as he said.
A figure like the 'Lord of Quliang City' could be promoted to the fifth level in 40,000 years, which is indeed worthy of admiration.
But Chen Jichuan's focus lies elsewhere.
"The enlightened one?"
He noticed that Zheng Jun mentioned the 'enlightened person' just now, and Lei Xin also mentioned it just now. He had some guesses about this title, so he looked at Zheng Jun and Lei Xin.
"It's normal for fellow Taoists to not know when they're here for the first time."
Zheng Jun understood and explained to Chen Jichuan: "The fourth level of aspiration is divided into four realms. The fourth realm is much stronger than the first three realms, and everyone is a hero. But above the four realms, the strength of the peak of the four realms is also A huge leap, beyond the ordinary four realms. The immortals separate the powerful people who are at the peak of the Four Realms and are approaching the fifth level into a separate category, called 'enlighteners', also known as 'seekers', 'askers', 'half-step fifth level', etc. But the title of 'Enlightened One' is the most widely spread. ”
The pinnacle of the four realms.
In the Chongming world, he is called Immortal Lord.
In the Xuanjing Sea, he is called the ‘Enlightener’, which is more appropriate. The peaks of the Four Realms began to understand the avenues of heaven and earth and master the artistic conception. Their only goal was to hit the fifth level.
The gap in strength between monks at this level can be huge.
The gap between Tao and Xing.
The difference in magical powers.
The difference in skills.
Therefore, ‘enlightened ones’ can also be divided into three, six or nine grades.
In the Xuanjing Sea, there are rough divisions into first-rate kings, second-rate kings, third-rate kings, ancient city lords and ordinary enlightened people.
The difference is determined by whether or not the ancient city is occupied and how much of the ancient city is occupied.
"There are currently seven first-class ancient countries in the Xuanjing Sea. The kings of each first-class ancient country control more than a hundred ancient cities and have increased their lifespan by more than a million years. It may be difficult for them to break through to the fifth level, but their strength undoubtedly stands The highest peak of the entire Xuanjing Sea.”
"And our Ekong Kingdom is only a third-rate country. The leader of Ekong Kingdom occupies thirteen ancient cities and has been practicing for 140,000 years. His strength is considered good among enlightened people. But it is not easy to break through to the fifth level. There are still three or four levels left. Ten thousand years, if we can't break through during this period, we will have to occupy more ancient cities to extend our life. Otherwise, we will still not be able to escape death, and the entire Ekon Kingdom will fall apart."
“This time, the ‘Ancient City of Quliang’, the Lord of Ekong must also be determined to fight for it.”
Lei Xin had friendships with many immortals. From them, he heard a lot of information about enlightened persons, city lords, country lords, ancient cities, etc., which gave Chen Jichuan, who had just arrived, gained a lot of knowledge.
The peak of the fourth level is called the ‘enlightened person’.
The enlightened person can occupy the ancient city of Xuanjing, and each ancient city of Xuanjing can extend its life by ten thousand years.
"The enlightened one."
"Xuanjing Ancient City."
"Prolong life by ten thousand years."
As Chen Jichuan digested the information, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
If his calculations back then were correct, the 48,000 small realms leading to the Xuanjing Sea were all shrouded in the 'Scroll of Mysterious Gods'.
The person in charge of this ‘Scroll of Mysterious Gods’ is a force known as ‘Xuanjing Immortal Palace’.
They screened geniuses in the small world, and set up ancient cities in the Hanging Mirror Sea to help these enlightened ones prolong their lives and make them more likely to advance to the fifth level.
What's the plan behind this?
Like the 'Lord of Quliang City', like those who ascended in the past, after they ascended, did they worship in the 'Xuanjing Immortal Palace', or——
"In their later years, the god-transforming monks in the small world will all enter a confused state, get lost in it, and turn into ancient beasts."
"What about these Ascended Ones?"
Chen Jichuan did not dare to think deeply and buried his thoughts deep in his heart.
……
We discussed the ‘Lord of Quliang City’ for quite some time.
Lei Xing also talked about business.
He looked at Chen Jichuan, "Brother Jiang came to Xuanjing Sea for the first time, what are your plans?"
"Plan?"
"Of course I mainly focus on earning Yuan Jing. The Tianmang Realm is barren. Now I am completely broke."
Chen Jichuan laughed at himself.
These words resonated with Lei Xin, who nodded and said: "The Tianmang Realm is only a small realm, and each region is blocked by a mysterious realm. It is difficult to travel between two regions in the four realms of transformation. All kinds of resources are extremely scarce, making cultivation difficult."
Lei Xin said, and then added: "There are abundant resources in the Xuanjing Sea, but if the cultivators like us who ascended in the small world fight alone, it will be very difficult, and it will not be much better than in the small world. Therefore, there are seniors in the small world. The situation will be much better if we contact our fellow Ascenders and stick together.”
Speaking of which.
Chen Jichuan also knew what Lei Xin meant.
Sure enough.
He saw Lei Xin looking at him: "The monks who came out of my Tianmang world are now divided into two factions. One is the 'Tianmang Palace', and there are nine immortals in this era. The second is the 'Flying Dragon Immortal Sect' , there are five immortals. When I first came to Xuanjing Sea, I joined the Tianmang Palace. Brother Jiang also came from the Tianmang Realm, and the Tianmang Palace welcomed him. "
This is to recruit Chen Jichuan on behalf of ‘Tianmang Palace’.
Out of the same small world.
Talent potential is acceptable.
No force can have too many of such characters. For the 'Tianmang Palace' and the 'Flying Dragon Immortal Sect' which are based on the 'Tianmang Realm', they are even more willing to win over every person who ascends from the small realm.
As Lei Xin said, it is not easy to mess around in the Xuanjing Sea, so joining a group to keep warm is the right way.
"The headquarters of 'Tianmang Palace' is in 'Tianmang Ancient City'. Among the nine immortals, there are three second-level immortals. Two of them serve as generals under the command of 'King Tianmang' and have considerable power."
Zheng Jun added from the side.
The god-transforming monks who came out of the Tianmang Realm were divided between Tianmang Palace and the Feilongxian Sect.
As for the entire Tianmang Realm, there are tens of thousands of areas like Panlong Mountain. Even if it takes a hundred thousand years for each area to emerge from a transformed god and gather in the Xuanjing Sea, there will only be one person in about a few years.
The longevity of the Immortal is forty-eight thousand years.
Taking forty-eight thousand years as a cycle, there are tens of thousands of gods who have emerged from the Tianmang Realm. Under such a base number, Tianmang Palace and Feilongxian Sect can have fourteen immortals in this era, and the promotion ratio is indeed much higher than the normal probability of promotion from the third level to the fourth level.
This is just joining two forces.
Those who are used to being carefree, who traveled to the Xuanjing Sea, and even left Tianmang Ancient City, must have been promoted to the fourth level.
Calculated this way, the ratio is indeed very high.
For these geniuses, time and resources are the most important, so joining Tianmang Palace is a good choice.
If Chen Jichuan was mediocre, he would also choose to join.
However, he has skills and has already made plans. Not to mention whether there is intrigue in the Tianmang Palace, or whether the nine immortals are of the same mind, it is not enough to say that these nine immortals are only at the fourth level and second level, and are just a general under the command of the 'Tianmang King'. To protect him, a fourth-level alchemist, is not enough to bring out the best interests of him, a fourth-level alchemist.
"I'll think about it again."
Chen Jichuan declined.
"As it should be."
Lei Xin nodded, feeling Chen Jichuan's rejection, but he was not angry.
After he joined Tianmang Palace, he returned to Shuofeng City, and there were five fellow villagers he recruited from the Shuofeng domain. Four of them did not agree at the time, and two even explicitly refused. But after some time, when they realized the difficulty of Xuanjing Sea, four of the five people finally chose to join.
Coupled with the fact that they both come from a small world, no one can predict their future.
Even if Chen Jichuan will not join Tianmang Palace in the end, Lei Xin will not offend him in vain.
He resolutely ignored the matter and brought up the subject again, chatting all over the place, intending to help Chen Jichuan learn more about the Xuanjing Sea.
Zheng Jun was also making jokes.
The slight embarrassment just now was quickly resolved.
For a while, the atmosphere became happy again.
……
The next day.
Chen Jichuan walked out of the cave and rushed straight to Beicheng.
In the past two months, he has inquired about many deeds of the Lord of Shuofeng Territory. After a brief analysis, he can initially determine that this person is very principled in his work, has a chivalrous style, is good at making friends with people from all over the world, and has many immortals who travel to and from Shuofeng Territory. Most of them have friendship with the Lord of Shuofeng Territory.
These are enough.
"It's just a clone. Even if you misjudge the wrong person, the loss will not be big."
After Chen Jichuan's preliminary investigation, he made up his mind.
When Lei Xin came to recruit Chen Jichuan on behalf of the 'Tianmang Palace' yesterday, he had already decided to defect to the 'Lord of Shuofeng Territory'.
Compared with the 'Tianmang Palace', which is jointly managed by nine immortals and has many factions within it, Chen Jichuan still prefers to choose the Shuofeng Territory Lord who has one voice for the entire Shuofeng Territory.
The latter is also more powerful.
There is nothing to hesitate about.
So early this morning, we rushed straight to the ‘Shuofeng Domain Lord’s Mansion’ in the North City.
"Fourth-level alchemist Jiang Xian is here to pay a special visit to the Lord of Shuofeng Territory. Please let me know."
Before arriving at the mansion, Chen Jichuan directly reported his identity as a 'fourth-level alchemist', to avoid being turned away because of his cultivation in the third realm of divine transformation.
"Level 4 Alchemist?"
"Master, please wait!"
The soldiers outside the gate of the Territory Lord's Mansion were all talented. After hearing this, he did not dare to underestimate Chen Jichuan's cultivation. He invited Chen Jichuan to take a seat in the front hall and sent someone to report inside.
Not long after I sat down.
I saw a handsome young man in a white shirt striding towards me. Before he arrived, loud laughter could already be heard: "Master Jiang can come to my Shuofeng Domain, it will really make you shine."
< br>
The person who came was none other than the Lord of Shuofeng Territory.
Name: Zhang Pei (Lord of Shuofeng Domain)
Age: 30086
Cultivation: Late stage of Dharmakaya realm in the aspirational stage
……
"Jiang Xian has met the Territory Lord."
Chen Jichuan, the Lord of Chongshuo Fengyu, bowed his hands. After seeing the cultivation level of this Territory Lord at a glance, he felt at ease. A Nine Patterns Supreme Immortal and a Territory Lord who controls a territory. As long as this person does not have evil intentions, it is not a problem to protect him as a fourth-level alchemist.
"You're welcome, Master."
Lord Shuofeng is indeed a person who is good at dancing. He makes people feel like a spring breeze when dealing with others, and they can't help but feel good about him.
Chen Jichuan is looking at Shuofeng Territory Lord, and Shuofeng Territory Lord is also looking at Chen Jichuan.
He was indeed pleasantly surprised.
He was sitting at home when a fourth-level alchemist came to take a potion, which made him overjoyed. After seeing the cultivation level of this fourth-level alchemist, he was shocked at first, and then he immediately understood and nodded secretly: "He is quite a smart man."
The Lord of Shuofeng Territory was thinking in his heart without showing it on his face. He sat down with Chen Jichuan as the host and guest, and then asked: "I wonder where the master's fairyland is?"
"I don't dare to be a master."
"Jiang has been practicing in Tianmang Realm before and just came to Shuofeng Realm more than two months ago."
Chen Jichuan replied.
"Oh?"
"It's actually a monk from the small world!"
"No wonder! No wonder!"
Shuofeng Territory Lord suddenly understood.
Coming from a small world, this makes sense. Otherwise, it would be a bit strange for a fourth-level alchemist who had no reputation before to appear out of thin air, and who was also a god-former.
So I paid more and more attention to it.
