Chapter 517: A Hundred Years Have Passed, the Heroes Conference!
Time flies, and time flies.
Since the establishment of Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
A hundred years, in the eyes of ordinary people, may not be exciting, but it is definitely a life full of regrets. For foundation-building cultivators, it is one-fifth of their cultivation life in which they strive hard for breakthroughs but are mediocre and gain nothing. However, in the eyes of Yuanying cultivators, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye, an insignificant scene on the road of cultivation!
And these hundred years are obviously not insignificant for Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, and even for the entire West Sea cultivation world.
A hundred years ago, the mining movement in Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom was launched vigorously. With the sincere sponsorship of part of the funds by Suji Group and the low-interest loans from Xiong Er Bank, there were many brave people in Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom who still pursued the Tao and were unwilling to spend the rest of their lives in a mansion with beautiful maids. They were willing to gamble everything and reluctantly purchased a mining suit (basic excavator puppet, magic-forbidden armor, exorcist doll, evil-suppressing talisman, magic-sealing wave) and rushed to the mines of all sizes that were once occupied by evil spirits in all parts of Xiangxian Kingdom, contributing their own strength to their own Tao and the development of Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.
After a hundred years of development, Kaiyuan Immortal Country, which fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the masses, now has more than ten large mines in the Immortal Country, except for those that clearly have fifth-level evil spirits, suppress ancient evil demons, and no one knows the exact situation, but whoever goes there will die, which will definitely cause great terror. All other mines have been brought under the control of Kaiyuan and are now under mining. The Kaiyuan Taxation Bureau, which is jointly led and supervised by Qinglian and Xiong Er, has begun to collect mineral sales tax.
With Su Qing and a group of real people as ballast, the treasures underground in Kaiyuan finally benefited the people of Kaiyuan. This endless supply of minerals provided cheap raw materials to many Baiyi factories in Kaiyuan Outer City. With the cheap labor of the four major families and the tools and puppets provided by Su Ji Group, Kaiyuan Baiyi Industry has grown from nothing to something. In just a hundred years, it has caught up with the tens of thousands of years of accumulation of Wanghai Xiancheng. Now, Kaiyuan's cultivation creations are sold far and wide at home and abroad, and there are hundreds of cargo ships anchored at Kaiyuan Port every day.
While Kaiyuan Xianguo is focused on mining and development, outside Kaiyuan, there are turbulent times and major events.
More than eighty years ago, in the sky above the West Sea, there was a sudden brilliant light and a fairy spirit. In the spotlight of the crowd, the cultivators of Penglai made their grand appearance. It was unknown how much of their family's savings had been emptied, how many years of infamy they had endured, and how much hard work several generations of cultivators in Penglai had put into the Conferred God Platform, which was made of many precious materials from heaven and earth. The precious light was ten colors and the divine power was mighty. On the Conferred God Platform, the ancestor of the Zhao family, Zhao Gandang, held the Conferred God List in his hand. On the left and right sides, Zhao Zhengquan, the heavenly official of the Zhao family, and Huang Sihuang, the ancestor of the Huang family who had entered the state of transformation, stood respectively. They selected the soldiers and generals, and listed the Conferred God List. After the Conferred God Event, there were more than a hundred divine generals and more than ten thousand divine soldiers in Penglai!
More than sixty years ago, the gods of Penglai led their troops to attack Wufo Mountain, which excited countless people in the West Sea cultivation world. However, they did not expect that after hearing a sound of Sanskrit, Wufo Mountain was full of Buddhas. After only one day of fierce fighting, the ancestor of the Zhao family fled from Wufo Mountain with his broken body and broken army. Since then, the power of the devil Buddha has become even greater. The area around Wufo Mountain for tens of millions of miles is controlled by the evil devil. Human cultivators dare not set foot in it. The caravans and cargo ships coming from the North Sea have to take a detour through the Kaiyuan Canal maintained and opened by Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, which has provided a wave of support for the development of Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.
More than 50 years ago, the ruler of Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, Su Zhenren, who was regarded as the head of Tianyuan puppet by countless puppet masters in Tianyuan Realm, tested the latest type of exorcism missile in Jixi City. It was made of Tianpeng wings and thunder-blasting purple crystals. It had many advantages such as high-speed defense penetration, precise guidance, and trajectory change. It was launched from Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom and traveled millions of miles. It beheaded a fourth-level evil demon who had been lurking in Kaiyuan Canal to engage in sabotage activities in Wufo Mountain, which was protected by a large formation. As a result, this dagger-brand exorcism missile became a hit, and attracted praise from all Tianyuan cultivators, and they rushed to book this puppet through the local Su Ji puppet branch.
In the same year, Su Qing launched a demon-suppressing power puppet—Demon Hunter Heavenly King (Level 5) and several cavalry puppets—Heavy Knights (Level 4). Due to the limited production and difficulty in refining, Su Qing never opened these two types of puppets for sale. They were only handed over to his puppet general Ah San as mercenaries to join the war between the Desire Fairyland, the Punishment God Kingdom, the Pingxi Wu Kingdom, and the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom.
As a result, the war between the Pingxi Desire Demon Kingdom, which lasted for more than a hundred years, finally came to an end. With the assistance of the Ten Thousand Demons Fairyland, the Fire Phoenix Fairyland, and the most important Kaiyuan Fairyland, the Desire Demon Fairyland blocked the years of siege by the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom and the Pingxi Wu Kingdom. On the contrary, the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom, whose nest was empty, fell to the hands of the Punishment God Kingdom and the Ksitigarbha Buddha Kingdom. All the demon cultivators in it were slaughtered, and the evil spirits were swept away.
The only drawback was that after being defeated by the two strong men, the old evil god Di Motian provoked the intervention of the Demon Buddha, who rescued him with a magic lotus. According to the two strong men afterwards, the magic lotus was of the sixth-level inferior ability. Otherwise, with him and the host of Fulong Temple, two fifth-level warriors, plus the cooperation of the Demon Hunting Heavenly King, there was no reason why they could not keep it. As a result, the West Sea cultivators were increasingly wary of the Demon Buddha.
Without the help of the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom to share the pressure, the Pingxi Wu Kingdom, which was alone in the deep, could not resist the united efforts of the West Sea inland immortal kingdoms, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals, and hurriedly retreated to the Zhongtu Wu Kingdom, and together with the Donghua Immortal Kingdom, participated in the war to siege the Xianqin Wu Kingdom, and no longer had the energy to interfere in the affairs of the West Sea.
In the year when Pingxi Wu Kingdom withdrew its troops, the Happy Sect in Ksitigarbha Buddha Kingdom and Fulong Temple reached an agreement. After the leader of the Happy Sect signed a Dao contract and vowed never to be used by evil spirits, the monks and believers of Fulong Temple fled to the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom and renamed it the Bodhi Buddha Kingdom. They helped each other with the Punishment God Kingdom and settled down from then on. In the same year, Fulong Temple welcomed the living Arhat, the great virtue Xiong Er, who taught the Dharma in this temple for several years and left behind hundreds of volumes of true scriptures and magical skills, making this generation of monks in this temple talented and promising to repeat the ancient heyday.
Thirty years ago, the Azure Dragon King who had gone far away to the heavens returned to the West Sea, with the blood of thousands of cloud dragons on his hands. He used the body of a cloud dragon as the body of the ancient dragon soul in the Meteoric Dragon Sea. Since then, the ancient dragon clan has reappeared in the world. It is a pity that the Azure Dragon King fought several battles in the heavens and was seriously injured. After returning to Tianyuan, he closed himself off at the bottom of the Meteoric Dragon Sea to recuperate. As a result, the leaderless ancient dragon clan fought several hard battles with the sea monsters on Yingzhou Island, but they lost more than they won.
Although this was due to the absence of the Azure Dragon King and the fact that the residual souls of the ancient dragons were no longer as powerful as before, it also made the West Sea cultivation community realize the strength of the sea monsters on Yingzhou Island. The sea-covering monster was indeed an innate species. It had reached the peak of the fifth level and was close to the sixth level. It had an undefeated body and diamond strength. Its iron rod was almost able to split the sea and smash the sky. It also trained millions of water apes and countless monsters. Not only was it difficult for human cultivators to do anything, but even the demon Buddha on the Wufo Mountain could not do anything to this arrogant monkey. It was killed by it and left safely. Although this made the West Sea cultivators dare not underestimate the power of this monster, it also made them feel relieved. At least the two extremely evil forces in the West Sea did not have a tendency to unite.
Sixteen years ago, the gate of the Tianyuan Realm was loose. Although the Emperor of Heaven Su Qing tried to close the gate again, he could not stop the desperate pleas of the cultivators from all over Tianyuan. Over the years, evil spirits have been everywhere in Tianyuan, and everyone is under great pressure. Even though they know that the cultivators from the outside world come to Tianyuan to compete with everyone for the fortune of Tianyuan, they can only ask Su Qing to let them in so that they can help share the pressure of resisting the evil spirits.
In this way, Su Qing no longer insisted, so as not to be a man inside and outside, and sit and watch the gate of the sky slowly open, so that the cultivators from the outside world flock in.
There are Yuanshi disciples who took the lead and brought several immortal mountains and sacred mountains to the cultivation world in the Central Plains. They re-established the Yuanshi Daoism in the Tianyuan Realm. Yuanshi Mountain faces the major martial countries in the Central Plains, and selects disciples from the best.
There are spiritual sword cultivators who fell into the Eastern Wasteland and strangled countless demons and evil spirits. After staining the mountains with blood, they opened the mountain gate and recruited disciples.
There is a sloppy Taoist who claims to be the only heir of the Tushita Palace. He travels around Tianyuan and gives away the Great Magic Pill to many predestined people like a boy who distributes treasures. Therefore, he is the most popular among the many outside cultivators in Tianyuan. Only Penglai Fairy Island has always refused to let this Taoist in. The reason is well known to everyone. It is worried that the Tushita Palace disciples will settle the old accounts of the Yellow Pagoda Piece and investigate the dirty things that Penglai did to the treasure left by his Tushita Palace ancestor.
And the most incredible thing is that the most popular place for the cultivation talents from all the heavens and worlds to enter Tianyuan, except for the various Wu Kingdoms in the Central Earth, is the Kaiyuan Fairy Kingdom, which has only been established for a hundred years and is still a remote and poor place in the Tianyuan cultivation world.
Among them is the ancient Snail Palace Daoism. Although this Daoism has been lost due to the Dao pattern of creation, it has not been as popular as Yuanshi, Lingbao and other Daoism in the heavens and the worlds in recent years, but it is also a Daoism that has produced the master of the Great Dao in ancient times. Its disciples chose Kaiyuan instead of the beautiful Zhongtu Wu Kingdom, which is really puzzling.
On the contrary, it is not surprising that the Taiyi Sect, a second-tier Daoism that was also famous in ancient times and only one step away from the top Daoism, joined the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.
Because, the damn Su Qing took out the Yin-Yang Creation Knife, the long-lost token of the leader of the Taiyi Sect, and on the day of recognizing his ancestors, he received a ray of thought from Taiyi Zhenren to rectify his name, so that the current leader of the Taiyi Sect could be gloriously laid off without any preparation. Regardless of whether he was willing or not, if the ancestor was willing, he could only transfer the position of the leader of the Taiyi Sect to Su Qing. From then on, the leader of Kaiyuan Kingdom was also the leader of Taiyi Sect. It would be abnormal if this sect did not fall into the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.
And with the influx of outside cultivators, the evil forces of the Tianyuan Realm ushered in a powerful blow. The Wufo Mountain, which was established by the Time Demon Lord and regarded as the base camp by the evil demons, was suppressed by the Fantian Treasure Seal of the Yuanshi Mountain. Although the time pattern cultivated by the Demon Buddha was infinitely mysterious and could summon the phantom of the ancient Buddha to hold up the treasure seal together, with this seal suppressing the Demon Buddha, the evil demons on the Wufo Mountain have been much more low-key since then, and no longer dared to be as arrogant as before.
Even under the advocacy of Yuanshi Mountain, the Demon Slayer Alliance, led by the Xianqin Wuguo, attracted forces from all over Tianyuan to join. Once the main forces of the various external sects moved from the heavens to Tianyuan, they would launch a devastating attack on the evil demon forces that had emerged in Tianyuan Realm.
Three years ago, the Huang family of Penglai purchased one million puppet soldiers from the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, among which was the fifth-rank puppet that the whole Tianyuan is jealous of now - the Demon Hunting Heavenly King. With this lineup, plus the Huang family's ancestor who had achieved the state of incarnation, three fifth-rank generals, and a dozen fourth-rank generals, no one knew where they were sending their troops. It was only known that on that day, the Penglai Island was covered with death clouds and filled with evil spirits, but it only lasted for one day. After that day, the situation of the three Penglai families that had maintained for hundreds of years collapsed. The Huang family, which had suffered heavy losses and almost exhausted its family foundation, disappeared from the Huang family. Some people saw Huang Li, the only surviving real person of the Huang family, escape from Penglai with dozens of Huang family cultivators, and no one knew where they went.
A month ago, a person with good intentions spread the Five Lists of the Heavens listed by the Heavenly Talisman Hall to the public, causing the entire Tianyuan Realm to be in turmoil again.
Some people ambushed, assassinated, robbed, deceived, and murdered the treasure holders by any means for the spiritual treasures on the list.
Some people started the Dao Pattern Clearing Operation to make their own path easier, and hunted down cultivators with similar Dao Patterns according to the list of Dao Patterns of the Heavens.
Some people tried harder to kill evil demons, seek military merits, or kill competitors in order to move up the battle power list.
In short, the world is too chaotic and people's hearts are complicated. The Five Lists of the Heavens, which were originally circulated in a small circle, became more turbulent after being known to everyone.
However, there are also people with insight who understand that the most important thing in the current cultivation world is to eliminate evil spirits and complete what the ancient cultivators have not completed. Otherwise, when the ancient evil demons revive one by one and the catastrophe of world destruction comes again, what is the meaning of the so-called Five Lists of the Heavens for the Tianyuan cultivators!
The Five Lists of the Heavens was most likely leaked by the evil demons deliberately, with the purpose of making the Tianyuan cultivators fight among themselves and have no time to take care of them and give them enough time to develop.
That said, the truth is understood.
But they may not listen to what they say, and they may not do what they understand!
After all, most cultivators only care about their own future and don't care about the justice of the world. Therefore, the internal fighting continues, and the fighting continues. The demon-killing alliance that was formed with great momentum has already been shaky and disintegrated.
For this reason, the Heroes Conference, led by the sloppy Taoist of Tushita Palace and fully supported by the leader of Taiyi Sect, Su Qing, has chosen the Jixi City of Kaiyuan Immortal Country as the venue for the conference, which will be held on the sixth day of this month as scheduled.
This day is the first day of March in the 108th year of Kaiyuan, and there are only five days left before the Heroes Conference. (End of this chapter)
