The Way of the Immortal Master

The Jiuqu River is the largest river in the north of the Junchen Realm, with a total length of more than 100,000 miles, and countless tributaries, flowing through many mortal kingdoms.

The Jiuqu League, an alliance formed by many cultivation forces, firmly occupied the most elite area of ​​the Jiuqu River, and established cities on both sides of the Jiuqu River.

More than a thousand years ago, after the Qingyuanzong, Yujianmen and other Yuanshen sects took the lead in establishing the Jiuqu League. Many comprehension forces have jointly established a large city in the middle of the Jiuqu River, on the high north bank, as the headquarters of the Jiuqu League. This is the origin of Jiuqu City.

Although the ancestors who established Jiuqu City back then did not have any talent for naming, they had the supernatural power to move mountains and seas.

There are no fourth-order spiritual veins in the Junchen Realm, and the third-order spiritual veins are the highest-level spiritual veins. But there are also differences between the third-order spiritual veins.

When Jiuqu City was established, there was a third-order spirit vein here. Later, a clever earth master was invited to work together with Yuanshen Zhenjun, pulling many spiritual veins from nearby to merge with the original third-order spiritual veins.

The third-order spiritual veins in Jiuqu City are second to none in the northern part of the Junchen Realm, and can accommodate many Jindan real people to practice at the same time.

In fact, the number of resident cultivators in Jiuqu City exceeds one hundred thousand.

With so many people living and cultivating here, this spirit vein can afford it.

The Jiuqu City jointly established by many cultivation forces has even surpassed the gates of Qingyuanzong and Yujianmen in all aspects.

This is not only the headquarters of the Jiuqu League, but also a place to demonstrate the strength of the Jiuqu League.

There are many buildings of various types in the city, shops are like clouds, monks come and go like rain, it is really an extremely prosperous place.

Although he had heard of the famous Jiuqu City for a long time, Meng Zhang still felt a strong shock when he witnessed this majestic city in the sky.

Although Meng Zhang has been to Jiuqu League many times and visited many places in Jiuqu League, this is the first time he has come to Jiuqu City, the headquarters of Jiuqu League.

A few months ago, Meng Zhang and the others left the Death Sand Sea with Zhenjun Jin Li, and the first stop was to go to Dafeng City.

In Dafeng City, they stayed for a while and had in-depth exchanges with the Lu family and the Gu Yue family.

The Jiuqu League looks like flowers and brocades, but there are also undercurrents surging inside. Especially in recent years, the changes in the surrounding situation have made many people of insight feel worried, worried about internal and external troubles.

Although the Lu family and the Gu Yue family have their own backers, they still pay more and more attention to the Taiyi Sect as an ally, and they deliberately make friends with Zhenjun Jinli.

When Meng Zhang and Gu Yuehuaidie communicated in private, Gu Yuehuaidie was very frank and told him a lot of problems that Jiuqumeng had faced in recent years.

The two most powerful sects in the Jiuqu League and the main controllers of the Jiuqu League, Qingyuanzong and Yujianmen, have become more and more at odds with each other over the years, and there are more and more conflicts and disputes.

In the past, the Huanglian Sect often played the role of the middleman between the two sects, coordinating the relationship between the Qingyuan Sect and the Yujian Sect, and preventing major conflicts between the two, which would endanger the entire Jiuqu League.

However, after the leader of the Yellow Lotus Sect disappeared hundreds of years ago, internal changes occurred within the Yellow Lotus Sect, its strength plummeted, and its right to speak dropped sharply, making it difficult to continue to play its original role.

In addition to the Yellow Lotus Sect, there is also the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce within the Jiuqu League, and its strength is also good, which can make Qingyuanzong and Yujianmen take a high look.

However, the senior management of the Universal Chamber of Commerce is all a group of businessmen, and it is inevitable that they will adapt to the situation and be slick. These guys lack responsibility, and they don't want to offend the strong at all.

When there is nothing to do on weekdays, they can also act as a lubricant in the alliance. Once a major conflict breaks out between Qingyuanzong and Yujianmen, they can't count on it at all, they will just pretend to be deaf and dumb, just trying to protect themselves, and neither side will offend.

In addition, the other forces in the Jiuqu League have far different levels of strength. As long as the matter does not involve themselves, they are not willing to get involved in the high-level battles in the alliance.

Because of the conflict between the two giants in the alliance, Qingyuanzong and Yujianmen, many forces in the alliance have begun to stand in line.

Coupled with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives in the league, chaos within the Jiuqu League has gradually emerged.

Although due to the restraint of the senior officials of Qingyuanzong and Yujianmen, peace can still be maintained in the alliance. But no one knows how long this restraint can last.

Of course, although the Jiuqu League has some internal problems, as a huge force that has lasted for more than a thousand years, it naturally has a mechanism that can temporarily suppress these problems.

The real headache for the senior management of the Jiuqu League is actually an external problem.

On the northern edge of the Middle-earth Continent, the Dali Dynasty is rapidly rising.

In the world of comprehension, there are basically only a few forms of existence of comprehension forces, mainly families, sects or alliances.

Not all exist in the form of kingdoms, but not many.

The Dali Dynasty can definitely be called an anomaly.

It started from a mortal dynasty at first, and slowly developed and expanded. After overthrowing the sect that controlled the mortal dynasty, it even directly launched a war against the surrounding cultivation forces.

According to the judgment of some Yuanshen Zhenjun, the emperors of the Dali Dynasty may have practiced the Emperor's Avenue, the Commanding Avenue, or the King's Way among the Three Thousand Avenues.

This emperor is invincible, he has defeated many primordial gods and true emperors, and even beheaded countless strong men.

His generals are all powerful monks, and his commanders are all kinds of Taoist soldiers.

The army of the Dali Dynasty conquered mountains and destroyed temples, and captured many sects.

It is said that the emperor of the Dali Dynasty wanted to establish the Immortal Dynasty, subjugate all the cultivation forces, and unify the entire cultivation world.

Perhaps, in the eyes of those holy land sects in Middle-earth, these rumors are just a joke. But the cultivation sects around the Dali Dynasty felt tremendous pressure.

The rulers of the Dali Dynasty were still somewhat self-aware, and did not rashly expand towards the center of Middle-Earth. Instead, it expands to the north away from the Middle-earth Continent, and first occupies these corner areas.

It has only been more than a thousand years since the establishment of the Dali Dynasty, and it has already become a terrifying behemoth.

According to the soldiers of the Dali Dynasty, all the comprehension forces that stand in the way will either voluntarily surrender or be completely defeated.

Within the territory of the Dali Dynasty, the realm of comprehension has a special set of rules.

The Dali Dynasty is the supreme ruler of the cultivation world. All the comprehension forces must submit to the Dali Dynasty, pledge allegiance to the Dali Dynasty, and obey the orders of the government.

This kind of comprehension force is the famous and decent sect recognized by the Dali Dynasty, and can survive in the Dali Dynasty.

Those comprehension forces who dare to disobey the Dali Dynasty are all evil demons and heretics, and everyone can punish them.

Between the Dali Dynasty and the Jiuqu League, the Hengjue Mountains were originally separated.

The Hengjue Mountains and the Daheng Mountains to the west are the two giant mountains in the north of the Junchen Realm.

Around the Hengjue Mountain Range, there are also many comprehension forces. Among them, the three most powerful sects formed a loose alliance called the Alliance of Three Factions.

The relationship between the Three Factions Alliance and the Jiuqu Alliance has always been good, and they are very enthusiastic about various affairs in the cultivation world.

After the foreign barbarians invaded the Yuantu prairie and defeated the local comprehension forces, the alliance of three factions also sent a team of comprehensionists to the Yuantu prairie to assist the Jiuqu League against the barbarian army.

The Dali Dynasty continued to expand towards the north, and the Hengjue Mountains blocked the way of expansion. The alliance of the three factions naturally became the next goal of the Dali Dynasty.

The alliance of the three factions is powerful, and each sect has Yuanshen Zhenjun sitting in charge, so of course they will not surrender to the Dali Dynasty.

Since about a hundred years ago, the alliance of three factions has been caught in a struggle with the Dali Dynasty.

Facing a powerful enemy, the alliance of the three factions needed to concentrate all their strength, so they naturally recalled the team of monks sent to the Yuantu prairie to fight against the barbarians, leaving the Jiuqu League and the local comprehension forces to fight against the barbarians.

Even if the alliance of the three factions went all out and showed all their cards, they still couldn't resist the attack of the Dali Dynasty.

After losing several key battles, the Alliance of Three Factions lost its initiative on the battlefield and retreated steadily, completely in a passive state.

The top management of the Three Factions Alliance knew that without the intervention of external forces, the complete defeat of the Three Factions Alliance would be a matter of time.

Therefore, the alliance of three factions sent envoys to the Jiuqu League.

One is to hope that the Jiuqu League can see the friendship between the two parties for many years, and make a move to pull the Three Factions Alliance.

Secondly, it is also to talk about the advantages and disadvantages, instilling a sense of cold lips and teeth in the senior management of the Jiuqu League, so that they can take the initiative to suppress the Dali Dynasty.

Facing the envoys of the Three Factions Alliance, two completely different opinions quickly emerged within the Nine Twist Alliance.

One opinion is that after the Dali Dynasty defeated the Three Factions Alliance, the next target must be the Jiuqu Alliance.

The Jade Sword Sect, a sect formed by sword cultivators, inherited the vigor and aggressive spirit of sword cultivators, and advocated pre-emptive strikes, and launched an attack on the Dali Dynasty before the Dali Dynasty attacked the Jiuqu League.

Another opinion is that the Dali Dynasty has not shown any hostility towards the Jiuqu League so far.

Just because of some unreliable speculations, the Jiuqu League took the initiative to provoke such a behemoth as the Dali Dynasty, which is too childish.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the Dali Dynasty intends to continue to expand towards the north. However, the Dali Dynasty expanded too fast, and there were many problems. After defeating the alliance of three factions, it is necessary to recuperate and slowly consolidate the interior.

The Jiuqu League still has enough time to slowly think about the countermeasures, and it doesn't have to go to war with the Dali Dynasty now.

In addition, since the alliance of the three factions withdrew the monks, on the Yuantu prairie, the Jiuqu alliance had to face the great enemy of the barbarians from outside the territory.

Even if the Jiuqu League really wants to fight the Dali Dynasty, it should give priority to solving the barbarians outside the Yuantu prairie, and try to avoid fighting on two fronts.

For the Jiuqu League, the Yuantu Prairie, which is close to Chichi, is the imminent danger.

The one who supports the latter opinion is the most powerful Qing Yuanzong in the Jiuqu League.

Qingyuanzong and Yujianmen had always been at odds with each other, and they were the two leading figures within the Jiuqu League.

The disagreement this time is the epitome of their confrontation for hundreds of years, and it is also a battle of ideas.

Jinli Zhenjun was invited by Qinglan Zhenjun to join the Jiuqu League, and Qingyuanzong's brand was naturally stamped on his head.

As the sect under the protection of Zhenjun Jinli, Taiyi Sect will sooner or later be involved in disputes within the Jiuqu League whether it wants to or not.

Anyone with a little insight in the Jiuqu League has a premonition that a big change is about to happen.

Therefore, Dafeng City, which is powerful and has a deep background, will take the initiative to catch up with Zhenjun Jinli.

No matter what kind of changes occur in the Jiuqu League, there is nothing wrong with strengthening one's own strength as much as possible.

In fact, although Qing Yuanzong is opposed to going to war with the Dali Dynasty now, he is also trying to increase his strength.

It is also related to Qinglan Zhenjun's enthusiastic invitation to Jin Li to join the Jiuqu League.

In the entire Jiuqu League, there will not be more than 20 Yuanshen Zhenjun. It is indeed of great significance to have one more Yuanshen Zhenjun.

If Gu Yuehuaidie didn't tell Meng Zhang about these inside information, he might still be kept in the dark.

Of course, Meng Zhang will know these inside stories sooner or later after he really arrives at Jiuqu City, the headquarters of Jiuqu League, and stays there for a while.

Gu Yue Huaidie told him in advance that apart from showing favor, it also meant to make him more vigilant.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Taiyi Gate and Dafeng City are already the same people.

If Meng Zhang got involved in any disputes or committed any taboos because of his ignorance, Dafeng City would inevitably be implicated.

Meng Zhang did not expect that the situation inside the Jiuqu League would be so complicated. I don't know whether it is a disaster or a blessing to join the Jiuqu League with Zhenjun Jin Li this time.

Meng Zhang accompanied everyone from the Taiyi Gate, and accompanied Zhenjun Jin Li to stay in Dafeng City for a long time.

Jin Qiao'er, who was brought by Jin Li Zhenjun's side this time, rarely came to such a prosperous place like Dafeng City, so she naturally wanted to have a good time.

Speaking of which, many years ago, when Jin Qiaoer was a little Qi-refining monk, she encountered very unpleasant things in Dafeng City.

Up to now, not to mention her master Jin Li Zhenjun, just because of her identity as Jindan, she dare not say that she is walking sideways in Dafeng City, at least she has no blind eye and dares to provoke him.

This time I went to the Jiuqu City, the headquarters of the Jiuqu League, to participate in the grand ceremony. Both the Lu family and the Gu Yue family attached great importance to it.

Each of the two families took out a giant cloud boat for travel.

The giant cloud boat looks like a hill from a distance, with a huge body and a wide space inside.

Such a cloud boat is not easy to refine, and it is rarely sold on the market.

Among the Jiuqu League, there are not many sects capable of refining giant cloud boats. The materials are hard to find, and the refining process takes a long time. It may take hundreds of years to refine successfully.

These two giant cloud boats alone are enough to show the background of the two families.

In contrast, although the Taiyi Sect sent out a Tier 3 airship this time, they were inferior among Tier 3 airships.

Taiyimen's flying boat flew behind the two giant cloud boats, just like a small follower.

After leaving Dafeng City, everyone did not rush to Jiuqu City, but stopped and went, traveling up and down the mountains and rivers, which consumed a lot of time.

After knowing the latest situation of the Jiuqu League, neither Zhenjun Jin Li nor Meng Zhang was willing to arrive at Jiuqu City too early, for fear of being involved in the disputes within the Jiuqu League.

Although Jinli Zhenjun was invited by Qinglan Zhenjun to join the Jiuqu League, she may not hang herself on the tree of Qinglan Zhenjun.
