The Fourth Financial Crisis

Similar to the Jiuzhou cultivators who divide their cultivation realm into Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Pill, Nascent Soul, and Immortal Realm, Ling Clan warriors will also divide their realm into Warrior, Martial Master, Great Martial Master, Martial Spirit, Martial King, Martial Emperor, and Huan. There is Emperor Wu.

According to the Spirit Tribe themselves, the Spirit Tribe’s Martial Emperor is a more powerful being than the tenth-level Nascent Soul cultivator. However, the Spirit Tribe’s Martial Emperor is like an ancient immortal in the world of cultivation. Everyone knows that such a thing exists, but no one knows I have never seen it with my own eyes, and some cultivators even believe that Emperor Wu was simply made up by the Jiuzhou Spirit Clan to deceive cultivators, and this theory is quite popular in the circle of cultivators.

After all, the relationship between the Jiuzhou Spirit Clan and the cultivators is that of slaves and slave masters. The two sides are naturally incompatible. The Spirit Clan made up an unfounded "Martial Emperor" to intimidate the cultivators and comfort themselves. This can be regarded as a certain sense of Ah Q's spirit. .

Although cultivators have never seen the Martial Emperor of the Spirit Clan, it is not that there are no other strong men in the Spirit Clan.

Among the spirit tribes who immigrated to Kyushu, in addition to the spirit slaves who were directly used as slaves, there was another group of spirit tribes with special status. They were also called the "civilized spirit tribe" by Jiuzhou cultivators.

Just like cultivators cannot practice the martial arts of the Spirit Clan, the natives of the Spirit Clan also have no spiritual root qualifications. There have also been cultivators who did not believe in evil and tried to drag 15-20-year-old boys and girls from the Spirit Clan to the Immortal Ascension Conference to test their spiritual root qualifications. , as a result, they tried continuously for decades and tested tens of thousands of spirit races in total. In the end, none of the spirit races could make the fairy stone shine.

In the end, the cultivators also reached a consensus:

Spiritual people are born without spiritual roots and cannot enter the path of immortality.

This is why some cultivation historians believe that the Spirit Race is not the real descendant of the ancient immortals, but the descendants of some kind of "flesh and blood puppet" golden-armored guards created by the ancient immortals.

However, the Enlightened Spirit Clan is a special case among the Spirit Clan.

This part of the differentiated spirit clan is a special being who can practice spirit clan martial arts and cultivation techniques at the same time.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Kaihua Spirit Clan that there were a large number of "Spirit Spirit Clan" among Jiuzhou cultivators. After all, the Kaihua Spirit Clan can practice cultivation techniques, so why can't cultivators also practice Spirit Clan martial arts?

It was only after the attempts of the "elves" to learn martial arts failed miserably that the Wuliang Sword Sect issued a clarification announcement: These enlightened spirits did not actually appear naturally, but were enlightened by the ascended immortals themselves!

According to the official explanation given by the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Wilderness Realm Development Committee, when the Ascending Immortal Ma Tianyi discovered the Wilderness Realm, he planned to coexist peacefully with the Spiritual Race, so he used the immortal method to enlighten some of the Spiritual Race, and gave them He obtained the spiritual root qualifications of these spiritual people to learn cultivation techniques, and accepted these enlightened spiritual people as his confidants.

In the context of Kyushu cultivation world, immortals are omnipotent existences. After hearing that the Ascended Immortal actually has the ability to grant spiritual roots to the spiritual race, ordinary cultivators are shocked, but they are not unable to accept it.

As the ascended immortals left Kyushu, the enlightened spiritual tribes enlightened by these immortals became extinct. The existing enlightened spiritual tribes in the world of cultivation in Kyushu were almost all the elders of the spiritual tribe who had followed Ma Tianyi and Lu Yang hundreds of years ago. .

Today, the strongest person in the Jiuzhou Spirit Clan is Wang Sandao, the leader of the Kaihua Spirit Clan.

Many Jiuzhou cultivators who heard Wang Sandao's name for the first time would be shocked by this very rustic-sounding name, but it would be a big mistake to despise him because of his name.

Cultivators who are familiar with the history of the Spirit Clan know that Wang Sandao is actually a very typical name for the enlightened Spirit Clan.

Because of the existence of the heavenly merit system, the cultural literacy of Kyushu cultivators is generally relatively high. The academic level of some worldly cultivation economists is no less than that of university professors on Earth. Therefore, the names of Kyushu cultivators are more or less They all have some allusions or sayings.

In comparison, the living conditions of the Spiritual Race in the Wilderness Territory are relatively primitive.

Although the Eldar in the Wilderness Realm generally possess very powerful individual power, their unchecked and powerful personal force has caused the entire Eldar society to become fragmented.

When cultivators first discovered the Wilderness Territory, most of the spirit tribes existed in the form of primitive tribes and primitive mountain villages. Not to mention that there was no complete civilization inheritance, even the entire spirit tribe civilization had reached its own level. On the verge of destruction, the daily life of the entire Eldar civilization is either you kill me or I kill you.

study?

What a waste of time to learn!

No matter how good you are at studying, you are still not as good at using my fists!

Since the vast majority of the Eldar are illiterate, the Eldar people are very casual in their naming. In addition to having a surname as the blood tie of the family, they basically choose their names at random, and they even use nicknames as their own names. In existence, there are many cheap names like Wang Sandao, Chen Ergou, Fu Shiliu, and Zhang Mazi.

It wasn't until they came into contact with Kyushu cultivators that these enlightened spirit tribes began to slowly adopt Kyushu-style names to name their offspring. Only the real elders of the enlightened spirit tribe still retained their original names.

According to Ma Tianyi, the former head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, he enlightened a few enlightened spiritual people and brought them into the world of Kyushu cultivation, mainly to protect the personal safety of the founding team of the Lingshi Reserve Bank.

At the beginning of the third Lingshi Financial Crisis, Ma Tianyi was already a tenth-level Nascent Soul monk. However, Lu Yang, Li Qingyang, and Tian Daxiao, the founders of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, were generally only in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages. , because a large number of cultivators were killed by the currency reformers led by the Lingshi Reserve Bank, there was an endless stream of desperadoes who came to assassinate the senior leaders of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, including even masters of the level of the Supreme Elder of the Yuanying Stage of the Shenhuo Sect.

Even if Ma Tianyi is already an ascended immortal, he is still exhausted in the face of this situation.

After all, if Mr. Lu is walking on the road, a bankrupt cultivator might jump out and kill the national thieves. Ma Tianyi can't stay by Mr. Lu's side 24 hours a day to guard against assassins!

So Ma Tianyi asked the enlightened spirit clan headed by Wang Sandao to serve as the personal bodyguards of the senior officials of the Lingshi Reserve Bank to prevent them from being blackmailed by unscrupulous people. It was precisely because of such a relationship that Wang Sandao The relationship with the three Ascended Immortals is even closer than that of many old people in the early days of the Lingshi Reserve Bank.

According to rumors, Wang Sandao not only cultivated the martial arts of the Spirit Clan to an extreme level comparable to that of monks in the late Yuanying Stage, but also cultivated his cultivation techniques to the level of the Yuanying Stage, effectively making up for the single martial arts method of the Spirit Clan. Its flaws are so strong that even the heads of the seven major sects of Kyushu would find it difficult to confront it head-on.

After the three ascended immortals left Kyushu, Wang Sandao was even recognized as the number one powerhouse in the cultivation world of Kyushu!

However, without the three ascended immortals to mediate the relations between all parties, the situation of the enlightened spirit tribe, which was caught between the Lingnu dry battery and the Kyushu cultivators, became very embarrassing.

When the Ascending Immortal was still there, the seven major sects of Kyushu could only enslave ordinary spiritual people. However, cultivators are all profit-seeking. After the Ascending Immortal left, the seven major sects turned their greedy eyes on the enlightened spiritual people.

Just wanting to enslave and civilize the Spirit Clan, Wang Sandao, the leader of the Spirit Clan, is a presence that cannot be avoided.

Faced with the coercion and inducement from Jiuzhou cultivators, Wang Sandao always insisted that Governor Lu had made a promise to him back then to "civilize the spiritual people and never become slaves."

However, this statement is not recognized by the mainstream opinion in the cultivation world. Only a few elders of the Spiritual Stone Reserve Bank, such as Li Qingyang and Tian Daxiao, are willing to speak for the enlightened Spiritual people who are "not my species."

However, as the founders of the Lingshi Reserve Bank gradually withered away, especially Lin Jianxing's two Nascent Soul Stage brothers Li Rui and Luo Shen passed away successively, even the Wuliang Sword Sect's attitude towards the Enlightenment Spirit Clan changed.

Although Li Qingyang, Tian Daxiao and others still believed that they should coexist peacefully with the Kaihua Spirit Clan, the opposition of a few cultivators could not reverse the change in the mainstream trend of thought in the cultivation world. As a result, the contradiction between the Jiuzhou cultivators and the Kaihua Spirit Clan quickly intensified. After the contradictions became completely irreconcilable, a great war finally broke out.

This heaven-destroying Nascent Soul stage melee may be the most intense battle in the Kyushu cultivation world in the past seven thousand years.

In order to strike a thunderous blow against the Kaihua Spirit Clan, the seven major sects of Kyushu dispatched a total of more than twenty Nascent Soul stage monks, and the cultivators also invited all Kaihua Spirit Clan on the grounds of "jointly discussing the special status of the Kaihua Spirit Clan" The senior leaders of the Spirit Clan came to the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect for a meeting and laid a dragnet for the Enlightened Spirit Clan in advance.

After the top leaders of the Spirit Clan gathered together, what awaited them was not the so-called cultivator negotiation team, but many aggressive Nascent Soul Stage masters, as well as the super mountain-protecting formation of the Infinite Sword Sect——

Dasen Luo Wanxiang Sword Formation!

Because the Kaihua Lingzu are not natives of Kyushu and are not bound by the laws of heaven in Kyushu, they do not have to worry about the damage caused to mortals in the aftermath of the battle. In order to avoid excessive collateral damage from the battle, the cultivators from Kyushu directly activated the strongest weapon at hand. used his trump card in an attempt to capture all the enlightened spirits before they could react.

Therefore, as soon as this battle began, it quickly entered a white-hot stage.

Since this battle was only three hundred years ago, many Jindan monks of the Wuliang Sword Sect are now witnesses of this battle. According to the descriptions of these witnesses, when the Dasen Luo Wanxiang Sword Formation was activated, thousands of Wuliang Sword Sect sect A shadow of an immortal sword appeared on each of the isolated peaks, and the power of each shadow had reached the level of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

Then they saw thousands of golden elixir Dzogchen realm sword lights, slashing directly at the enlightened spiritual tribes outside the mountain gate of the Wuliang Sword Sect. The scene was like a torrential rain of spiritual energy. If the Wuliang Sword Sect hadn't been in advance He evacuated his disciples. Ordinary disciples in the Qi refining stage who were inside the Wuliang Mountains might be directly oppressed to death by the violent spiritual energy.

Even so, the cultivators who were fighting hundreds of miles away also felt their blood boiling.

Since except for a few Nascent Soul stage bosses who took action personally, the other witnesses were relatively far away, so no one could tell the specific process of the battle. However, one thing is certain, the enlightened spirit masters did not react as expected. The general was wiped out in an instant, and Wang Sandao's ability to resist far exceeded the cultivators' previous expectations.

At that time, the bright aura above the Wuliang Mountains was like a second sun rising in the sky. The earth tremors caused by the battle could be clearly felt even on outlying islands thousands of miles away.

Not far from the center of the battlefield, the original official city of the Wuliang Sword Sect was completely destroyed by the residual power of the battle. Even the Qinglan River was cut off by the killing move of a certain Nascent Soul and was diverted on the spot. As a result, the Wuliang Sword Sect was forced to rebuild Yunlai City further away after the war as a new trade center for the Zhongzhou cultivation world.

This is why Yunlai City was built thirty miles away from the mountain gate of Wuliang Sword Sect.

According to the recollections of eyewitnesses, the change in heaven and earth lasted for almost a quarter of an hour.

Although the Kaihua Spirit Clan headed by Wang Sandao showed extremely terrifying fighting power, due to the small number of Kaihua Spirit Tribe and the fact that the battle was initiated by cultivators, it was deliberate and unintentional, even though Wang Sandao had tried his best to fight He resisted, but in the end he was still unable to defeat the four hands with two fists, and was suppressed by the heads of the seven sects.

Although the victory of the battle ultimately belongs to the cultivators, how to deal with Wang Sandao has become a persistent problem.

You must know that Wang Sandao once served as the bodyguard of two ascended immortals, Lu Yang and Xiao Huang. This kind of nepotism between the immortals is no less than that of the registered disciples of ascended immortals like Li Qingyang and Tian Daxiao.

Although according to ancient legends in the world of cultivation, after immortals ascend to heaven, they will not return to Kyushu, nor will they indirectly affect the situation in Kyushu in any form. After all, after the second crisis of heaven, the world of cultivation in Kyushu has reached more than 7,000 people. There have been no ascended immortals in 2008, and no one can say whether the rules of ascension in the medieval era still apply to modern immortals.

After all, the division of ancient times, medieval times, and modern times is originally based on changes in the rules of heaven.

In ancient times, ascending immortals could control the situation in Kyushu from the ancient heaven. "Ascending immortals cannot stay in Kyushu" is a characteristic of immortals in the medieval era. What if the rules for the ascension of immortals in modern times have changed?

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!

Even though the Ascending Immortal didn't express anything when Li Qingyang passed away, most people believed that the Ascending Immortal might have really left Kyushu forever. But if a certain Ascending Immortal suddenly wanted to come back on a whim, and then asked everyone where Wang Sandao went. , we can’t answer that he has been killed!

What's more, Wang Sandao himself has always insisted that the Ascending Immortal once made a promise with him to "enlighten the spiritual race and never be a slave." No one dares to laugh at this kind of Immortal's promise.

Therefore, after many rounds of discussions, the heads of the seven sects decided not to kill Wang Sandao, but to build a special purpose building north of the Thousand Miles of Sea Abyss in the Arctic State and south of the Snowy Mountains, with the help of the Kyushu terrestrial veins. The Qishan Prison where cultivators are detained has put Wang Sandao and other older generations of enlightened spiritual people under house arrest in Qishan Prison. After their lifespan is exhausted in Qishan Prison, if the Ascended Immortal will ask about the matter again , everyone can at least have an explanation.

This is the origin of Qishan Prison.

Since the cultivators have already made great efforts to build Qishan Prison, it would be a bit wasteful to use it specifically to guard Wang Sandao alone.

From then on, all prisoners who cannot be killed on the spot and cannot be easily let go will be sent to Qishan Prison to wait for death. Even special prisoners who are far away in Borneo will be sent to Qishan Prison for reunification. For this reason, the other six sects must also pay a prison management fee to the Wuliang Sword Sect every year.
