Chapter 375 The Great Change of the World(1/2)
More than ten years have passed.
Over the past decade, the changes in the entire world of practice have seemed a bit big.
Let’s talk about the situation of the Lu family first.
The Lu family has added two new Jindan cultivators, who are not others, and are officially the brother and sister Lu Wenen and Lu Weiwen. After they were promoted to Jindan, the Jindan cultivators of the Lu family's family have directly increased to as many as six people.
Chao successfully entered the middle stage of the Golden Pill and became a cultivator at the fourth level of the Golden Pill. Chaoxi, Yan Ling, and Ming Chao, all three of them had reached the sixth level of the Golden Pill, and they were only one step away from entering the late stage of the Golden Pill.
Lu Qing was very satisfied with these descendants.
When the family has been promoted to six stars, I hope that a Nascent Soul monk will emerge from among them. The family level is only one condition that can be completed.
When Lu Qing's own words, he has now become a cultivator at the sixth level of Nascent Soul.
However, for him, there is actually no need to talk about anything more about realm. As soon as he entered the middle level of Nascent Soul, he felt that he was invincible in the Nascent Soul stage; now, he is just going further from the level of invincibility. Although he is only at the sixth level of Nascent Soul, as long as he has not reached the Dharma Realm, he will be a scumbag in front of him.
If the Dharma is in progress... it is hard to say, it is a big level of power.
However, Lu Qing has seen the masters of the Dharma Acts stage that he has seen so far, and he has not shown their power once or twice. He can compare and evaluate each other in his heart.
He felt that cultivators in the early stage of Dharma image may have all their means and can fight against it - the premise is that the other party should not show the true body of Dharma image, otherwise the level of power will be too large and it will be difficult to fight.
But under this premise, Lu Qing is not unable to find a way. Since he knows that a master of the Dharma Realm can't beat him by showing his true body of Dharma Realm, he must find a way to suppress the other party and not allow the other party to have time to show the true body of Dharma Realm.
This is not impossible to achieve in the early stage of the Dharma image. A clear gap between the early stage of the Dharma image and the middle stage is the time to reveal the true body of the Dharma image. The latter almost comes out with a thought, and the former does not work, and there must be a process of displaying it.
This is where you can make a fuss.
Moreover, no matter what, if you can't beat the masters in the Dharma phase, you can always run away if you can't beat them.
This is the most stable.
According to Lu Qing's idea, I wish I could develop slowly and stably, which was the most comfortable thing.
Now, after twenty or thirty years of operation, the central court of Yan State has become very profound. The manpower and material resources of these two places can be driven very deeply, and there is no need to worry too much. The central imperial guards have also expanded to 40,000 people, and the number of Jindan monks who can be directly commanded by the Lu family has reached 14. There are six of the Lu family, in addition to Yunxuan and Haisande, Qingfeng Sect, recently there is another person named Fei'an City, which has also entered the Jindan stage. Including Sun Changhai and Gongsun Chan in Xuezhou, there are eleven people.
In Yandu, Mo Ruhai is in the Golden Pill Stage, and there are two other golden elixirs from the court. Now they are basically calm and can be commanded by the Lu family.
Not to mention, the Lu Dynasty’s strength in the Lu Dynasty than the Li Dynasty is that they can get the strong support of Feiyunzhou and Xuezhou.
Feiyun Prefecture is not bad now. The great development of Shenlu County and a large number of demon tribes became subjects of Yan State. After Shenlu County shone brightly and heated, Shenlu County quickly leveraged its own advantages of abundant resources and developed rapidly, and provided the Lu family with the benefits of Daliang.
At this level, under the leadership of the Lu family, the central court had been recuperating for more than 20 years, eliminating civil strife and integrating domestic forces, but it had already made the Yan court more powerful than the Li family back then.
No matter how dull the Yunxiao Sect is, they certainly discovered this situation.
To be honest, Yunxiao Sect was really surprised by this.
At first, of course, they felt that the Lu family was weaker than the Li family and had no foundation in the court, so they supported them. They really didn't expect that the Lu family was so capable that they could reach this level in just over twenty years.
The Yunxiao Sect is actually not that strong in nature, so they have to deliberately suppress the court or something. But to be honest, this kind of thing is not a question they want or not. The Yunxiao Sect's status in Yan State is destined to do things normally, make decisions, and develop normally, which is a kind of suppression for the court.
The honeymoon period between the two sides has ended in recent years.
Of course, the end of the honeymoon period does not mean that there is any conflict between the two sides. Some small political frictions are inevitable, but overall, there is no big conflict and the court is still obedient.
In fact, for Yunxiao Sect, although the Lu Dynasty was in a prosperous business and seemed to have great potential in the future, to some extent, they still didn't take it particularly seriously.
What's the use of having more golden elixirs than during the Li Dynasty back then? After all, this world is the supreme power of personal power. In the Li Dynasty, there were Emperor Li Shiwen and Prime Minister Zou Ziwu, these two Nascent Soul cultivators. Especially Li Shiwen, who is still at the peak of Nascent Soul, can reach the Dharma image one step away.
The Lu family has only one Lu Qing, and now it is only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul - they could not have imagined that Lu Qing's cultivation would improve so quickly.
What's there to worry about?
If you have to worry, it will take decades or a hundred years. It will not be too late to worry when Lu Qing reaches the peak of the Nascent Soul.
Lu Qing was happy to see this situation.
How great it would be to make a fortune in silence!
He wished that Yunxiao Sect would always underestimate the Lu family, and then he could develop wildly in secret. After the family had two more Yuanying, he would be promoted to the Dharma image, what Yunxiao Sect and Master Weiyun would be in vain.
Given Lu Qing's current situation, he can be invincible in the Nascent Soul Stage. When he reaches the Dharma Realm, the most conservative idea is that at least he will not fight with him in the later stage of the Dharma Realm, right?
But, having said that, in the past ten years, the world of practice has changed a lot, and this is not just a casual statement.
Thirteen years ago, news came from the west that it was said that the strongest Qin Immortal Kingdom among the nine countries was finally unwilling to be lonely and began to expand outwardly. They went east and had a violent conflict with Liang State; to northeast and friction with Jin State; to south and conflict with Shu State.
The distance between them is too far, and the information Lu Qing can get here is also limited. But according to the information at hand, there may be a large-scale war in the west of the cultivation world.
As expected, in the past thirteen years, various conflicts have become increasingly fierce among the four countries in the west. The Daqin Immortal Kingdom, one-on-three, still has the upper hand.
Especially Liang Guo, he was forced to breathe a little.
Originally, the Liang and Jin families were enemies of generations, and they had a lot of hatred between each other over the past thousand years, not to mention the destruction of the Northern Wilderness Society by Jin State, which made the Liang State, which had a strong demon clan very dissatisfied.
But at present, under the pressure of the Qin Dynasty, Liang and Jin have the intention to let go of their past hatred. Although it has not officially begun, judging from the information collected by the Jinyiwei from the outside, there is a vague intention of peace talks between the two countries, and even forming alliances to fight against the pressure of the Qin Dynasty.
If there is a conflict between the Qin Dynasty, Liang, Jin and Shu in the west of the world, Yan State can also be a melon-eating crowd, just watching the show here and has little to do with them, then they can't stay out of the matter in the southeast.
An urgent news came from the Great Yan Jinyiwei-State that Wei was going to fight against Qi.
The Jinyiwei of Dayan has been established for some years. In addition to the domestic intelligence network, the Jinyiwei's tentacles have also extended to foreign countries.
However, after all, the time is still short, and the tentacles of the Jinyiwei stretched out to the surrounding area, and it was difficult to grasp the particularly confidential and important news.
If the news that Wei State launched a large army and wanted to conquer Qi in the east was obtained by the Jinyiwei of Yan State, then many people would probably know about this matter, and even the current Wei State's army is already on the way to depart.
This matter is different from the big watermelon in the west of the world. When the Qi and Wei war started, the Yan State had a personal connection.
Qi and Wei are both neighboring countries in the south of Yan. Needless to say, the State of Wei has no direct territorial contact, but it has a sea area of angle.
The ocean is not a big obstacle in this world of practice. Not to mention large flying boats, some monks can even fly over directly with their own abilities.
The relationship between Yan and Qi is relatively cold. Although they do not fight bayonets with each other like Yan and Wei, they are still not friendly.
Of course, if Qi and Wei go to war, Yan is more inclined to stand on the side of Qi.
The Wei State has been aggressive in recent decades. In addition to having a good relationship with Liang State in the west and having no major conflict with Chu State, they have had evil with Yan State to the north, and have generations of enemies with Qi State in the east, and have territorial friction with Wu State in the southeast...
In other words, Wei State is essentially a country with a strong desire to expand.
The first time he received the war between Qi and Wei, the Lu family informed the Yunxiao Sect of this matter.
Of course, Yunxiao Sect also has its own news channel. When the news from the court was passed, they actually knew about this. Moreover, they also vaguely revealed a little about wanting to intervene.
Obviously, in the past, the Wei State supported Li Shiwen to break through the Dharma and disrupt Yan State, and even the great general Xia Cang directly led the army to go north to fight Yan State on the Pingzhou front, which made Yunxiao Sect hold a grudge.
What's more, isn't this just an opportunity?
When Qi and Wei fought, Yan went south and stabbed him from the north, which was considered avenging his revenge.
What's more, in addition to revenge, this matter also has great practical significance.
The Yunxiao Sect would like to take half of the northern state of Hezhou in Wei State into its own control. In fact, it was originally the land of Yan State.
In the past, hundreds of years ago, the border between Yan and Wei was not the Pingzhou front line, but the river that was pushing thousands of miles south.
This big river originates from the desperate mountain in the west, flows eastward, and finally flows into the sea. This is one of the largest rivers in the world, known as the big river in the south.
However, in the defeated war of Yan hundreds of years ago, Wei crossed the river and took the land of the three counties north of the river for itself. That time, for Yan, it was quite a big crisis, but it was fortunate that it was over.
But since then, the military strategic situation between Yan and Wei countries has undergone great changes.
The river is very wide and is also a huge water-flowing spiritual vein. It has rich surrounding properties and the benefits of the three counties are not low. More importantly, along the river and with the help of the spiritual energy of the river, you can arrange very powerful formations. Using the river to defend, it will definitely be much more comfortable and safer than the current borders of Yan and Wei.
The Wei State has always been stronger than the Wei State, and this is true in all aspects. Generally speaking, it is difficult for them to find any opportunity to regain the half of the state north of the river under the defense of Wei State. On the contrary, the Wei State still used that half of the state as a base for advancement for many years, making Yan State extremely overwhelming.
But at the moment, Qi and Wei started a war, which was a good opportunity.
Although Qi State is in a corner and its main territory is on the huge peninsula east of the world, then again, the peninsula is rich in resources and high-level monks are emerging one after another. Even if Wei State is stronger, it cannot be underestimated when facing Qi State, otherwise it will be easily subject to severe backlash.
If the two countries make a fool of themselves, it may not be impossible for Yan State to take the opportunity to go south and take back the homeland that has been lost for hundreds of years.
It is natural for Yunxiao Sect to have such an idea.
In fact, the Dayan court also had the same idea.
However, after discussing with his advisers and the core monks of the Lu family, Lu Chaoxi decided not to act rashly.
It is definitely true that the war between Qi and Wei started. But now, at best, they are still in the early stages of the battle, and they don’t know how far the war will develop in the end. If it is just ordinary border friction or even partial wars, if the Yan State rushed south, it might instantly attract the attention of the Great Wei to itself.
Don’t play stealing chickens as if you are surrounded by Wei and rescue Qi. The Qi State would not be much grateful to Yan State while laughing happily. At the same time, the Southern Expedition Army of Dayan might be hit by others.
Lu Chaoxi tended not to take action, at least before the war between Qi and Wei reached a certain level, and before gaining a tacit understanding with Qi, he would not take action.
Of course, not taking action for the time being does not mean that this opportunity is to be given up. Lu Wenen has ordered the Jinyiwei in Wei and Qi to closely monitor the war between Qi and Wei, and to report it in time.
...
In a very short time, the subsequent information was transmitted from the Jinyiwei lurking in the Qi and Wei countries one by one.
From this information, we can see that the war between the two countries of Qi and Wei was progressing so rapidly that it made people feel a little dumbfounded.
The one who took the initiative to launch the attack was Wei State. Xia Cang had clearly appeared on the front line battlefield, and in a row, he killed two Nascent Soul cultivators from Qi State in a row.
In the Nascent Soul Stage, this is a rare master for any immortal country. Even if two deaths are much stronger than Yan State, even Qi State, which is much stronger than Yan State, will feel very heartbroken.
At the same time, with the death of two Nascent Soul monks in battle, the Great Wei army was in the east and made rapid progress. Qi and Wei countries had territorial disputes in Qingzhou and Xuzhou on the border. These two states originally had absolute advantages in Qi, but in the third month after the war, they all fell into the hands of Wei.
Qi State was at a disadvantage in the early stages of the war, and their reaction seemed a bit slow.
But the foundation of the old-fashioned power is here after all. The army of Qi quickly gathered from the hinterland of Qi and launched a counterattack under the leadership of the masters of Qi's legal ministers.
To be continued...
