Chapter 1360 The Shadow of the Third Tribulation
Zhang Xianzhang came to the conference hall. In the dark hall, which was not yet fully constructed, there were hundreds of people sitting upright, all of them looked unhappy. Yes, after all, they are colonized, and everyone is a representative of the colony. Now that they are negotiating with the colonists, it is no wonder that they look good.
This negotiation seemed destined to be a humiliating one; however, the power from the merchant country made these people dare not speak out. When a Loose Immortal from the Shang Kingdom appeared proudly, and when their masters died in battle, they had no choice but to come here for a while.
Zhang Xianzhang came with a smile. Standing on the high platform, Zhang Xianzhang proudly glanced down: "Dear fellows, we came here for business, so the local ruling rights and so on are still in your hands.
certainly……"
At this time, Zhang Xianzhang's face suddenly turned cold: "If you are not willing to sit in this seat, we will naturally support those who are willing!"
The surrounding atmosphere changed; Zhang Xianzhang's sudden change of face obviously made everyone a little confused. If you say you change your face, you will change your face. Didn't you say you are here to negotiate today? How did it become a lecture?
Zhang Xianzhang paused for a while, and smiled again: "Haha, just kidding, if possible, I hope to be friends with everyone. Come, I will give you a generous gift."
A maid came out from the side and put down a red envelope in front of each representative. Everyone was stunned and curious, wondering what this is? Give me a sweet date with a stick?
"One proof, the certificate of honorary citizenship of the Shang Kingdom!" Zhang Xianzhang said calmly, but calmly and forcefully, "With the certificate of honorary citizenship, you will be able to obtain some of the rights of citizens of the Shang Kingdom.
Specifically, everyone needs to register on the Internet with an honorary citizenship certificate. Every certificate of citizenship is uniquely numbered and cannot be changed once registered. There are instructions for use in the red envelope. "
A person suddenly asked, "Can you tell me about the general rights and obligations of an honorary citizen?"
Zhang Xianzhang said slowly: "The rights of an honorary citizen include emergency rescue, children's education, and the purchase of cheap business country resources, etc. Obligations include paying taxes and protecting trade routes.
But don't worry, if you are not satisfied with your status as an honorary citizen of the Shang Kingdom, you can still cancel it. It's just that once you log out, you will never be able to get honorary citizenship again. "
Everyone looked at each other, some were moved, others were vigilant, and everyone was in a complicated mood. Among the honorary citizenship of the Shang Dynasty, the cheap resources and children's schooling made everyone excited; but when thinking about their own status, everyone hesitated.
Zhang Xianzhang is not in a hurry, these people are moved, and the next step will be easy. Negotiations started, but Zhang Xianzhang made it very clear: We are here to do business, as long as we let us do business, everything will be easy to talk about. If we are not allowed to trade, believe it or not, we will support the rulers in addition?
After a fierce confrontation, the two sides finally reached an agreement:
Yunzhou, with Changshengmen as the main person in charge, and the royal families of various countries as the secondary person in charge, everyone will work together to maintain the stability of Yunzhou and allow business countries to trade. The specific trade rules continue the "North Sea Treaty".
Another point is that the Shang Kingdom has increased the terms of garrisoning troops. In important places in Yunzhou, the Shang Dynasty will demarcate areas to establish military strongholds. These military strongholds are like nails nailed to the land of Yunzhou, making it almost impossible for Yunzhou to turn over. Because, the positions of these strongholds are all nodes of dragon veins and luck on Yunzhou.
Wherever dragon veins gather, there must be danger. It is conceivable that fortresses will be established here in a short time.
Everyone in the Yunzhou negotiation looked unhappy, but they signed and pressed their fingerprints in the end.
After everyone signed, Zhang Xianzhang waved his hand: Let's have a dinner together. During the dinner, the signed document has been scanned and sent to Shangguo, and it will be issued to the entire Yunzhou soon.
…………
When Zhang Xianzhang signed an agreement with the representatives of various countries in Yunzhou and the representatives of Changshengmen, there was a big battle about to start again in Tongtian Valley, the holy place of practice in Yunzhou.
Tongtian Valley is a cave, which is a treasure; it used to be the sacred place of practice in Yunzhou, which caused countless masters and sects to compete for it. Later, everyone took charge of it together and became the common property of Yunzhou. But now, the exit here has become Shura Hell.
Broken mountains and rivers, broken corpses, broken magic weapons, and chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations are everything here. At the exit of Dongtian, there are the surviving masters of Yunzhou, and the people from Tianbao Pavilion take the lead.
On the other side, there are masters from the Shang Kingdom, and among these masters there are many Yunzhou natives, who surrendered to the Shang Kingdom; of course, in the eyes of Tianbao Pavilion and other Yunzhou remaining masters, they are traitors.
The person in charge of coordinating the war on the Shang Kingdom's side is Jin Wanli, the head of the Youlong Mercenary Corps. Just now, Jin Wanli told the representative of Tianbao Pavilion that Shang Kingdom would not accept their surrender!
Whether it's to kill chickens and monkeys, or to eradicate grass roots, or Tianbao Pavilion has the potential to rise, etc., in short, Zhang Xianzhang has decided here to completely wipe out these masters.
"You guys will die!" Yu Duque, the head teacher of Tianbao Pavilion, finally roared sharply, with a ferocious voice. But the targets of Yu Duque's abuse were not only Shang Guo and the traitors in Yunzhou in front of him, but also the four sects of Evergreen Sect, Misty Sect, Xiaoshan Sword Sect, and Bishui Sect.
Tianbao Pavilion was played by the four sects, and when they swore to resist the invasion of the Shang Kingdom, the four sects quietly disappeared. This led to the complete collapse of the Yunzhou front.
However, these surviving Yunzhou masters did not give up. Sanxian Jin Deye of Tianbao Pavilion shouted at this time: "We retreat to the cave. As long as we guard the entrance of the cave, the Shang Kingdom will not be able to attack. Let's make a long-term plan!"
The entrance to the cave is a secret space crack, which can be completely closed from the inside. Before Shang Guo could attack again, the surviving masters in Yunzhou retreated to the cave, and Jin Deye made a bold move, and his supernatural power exploded instantly, destroying the formation. At this point, the cave is completely closed!
"Jin Deye!" The people around exclaimed.
"Everyone listen to me!" Jin Deye flew into the air with a loud voice, "We are not desperate now, we still have a chance!"
"What chance?" Everyone's eyes widened. Is there really a chance? The exit of Dongtian was closed, and this place was completely isolated, and it was impossible to get out. Everyone is equivalent to locking themselves in a cage, so there is no chance!
But Jin Deye pointed to the top of his head, and his tone was full of determination: "Our only chance is... to ascend!"
"What!"
"Ascension?"
"Isn't that a dead end!"
"It won't work!"
...
Everyone was in an uproar, apparently they did not expect that Jin Deye would give such a "outlet".
"Everyone listen to me!" Jin Deye roared, and even used mana. The mighty voice silenced the remaining 20,000 people immediately, and Jin Deye continued: "Everyone, I know everyone doubts whether this road is feasible. But this is our only way out. But it is not a dead end! Let me explain.
First, we haven't ascended in these years, and the fairy world even sent six golden immortals to investigate; but now, the six golden immortals have been convinced by Shang Guo. Think about it, everyone, in the face of such a situation, does the fairy world urgently need information from the lower realm? This is our chance!
If we can ascend, we can take refuge in the Immortal Realm; turn back and let the Immortal Realm send someone to rescue the rest of us.
Second, our place is a cave, not an affiliated world. The cave has the same status as the main world, we can directly ascend in the cave! "
The eyes of the rest of the people gradually brightened. Although turning to the Immortal Realm seems to be a betrayal of the current Immortal Territory, this is already the only way to survive, and everyone has been betrayed once before, so who cares about it at this time.
After discussing with everyone, a decision was reached: According to the public information of the Shang Kingdom, the four ancestors of the four major sects ascended together, leading to the Emperor of Heaven. This time, they are also preparing to ascend with a few Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal masters to negotiate with the Heavenly Emperor.
Counting, there are actually six Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal late stages:
Jin Deye and Yubao real person of Tianbao Pavilion,
Ouyang Zhi of the Mingyang School,
Master Xinyang and Master Gaoyang of Zhengfamen,
Loose cultivator, Hu Haiming, Master Haiming.
With the decision made, the few resources were gathered together, and the six loose immortals rushed to the peak together, preparing to attract the catastrophe.
At this moment, Jin Wanli looked at the collapsed Tongtian Valley formation, and shook his head helplessly: "These guys are so ruthless that they don't even plan to come out. Leave a few people to watch, and leave the rest alone. "
The cave is like the world's natural safe, without the correct method of entry and exit, it is almost impossible to break through. After the formation collapsed, there was nothing in front of it, only a verdant valley, and the cave sky was hidden.
However, Jin Wanli and even Zhang Xianzhang didn't pay much attention to these remnant soldiers, they thought they were just lingering. Entering the cave is equivalent to entering a cage. Although the cave is good, if there is no support from external resources, it will not be able to support more than 20,000 people to practice for a long time.
…………
It didn't take long for Yunzhou's information to be sent to Li Xian. Li Xian, who was busy, took time out to read it carefully, and finally smiled: "Zhang Xianzhang is good, Yunzhou has been subdued, and the rest is just It's a matter of time. Sun Haocai, send this document to Song Xing for publication and distribution."
After Sun Haocai left, Li Xian started busy again. There are a lot of things going on recently.
Declaring war with the Yaozu is the most daring move the Shang Kingdom has ever made. When the news spread, there was an uproar. Many people said that the Shang Kingdom was a bit arrogant. Although the Shang Kingdom had developed well over the years, the Yaozu had a long tradition. The Shang Kingdom wanted to use its own power to challenge the Yaozu, but it might be powerless.
Yaozu has never been a soft persimmon.
Besides, in recent years, although the Shang Kingdom has developed rapidly, there is a spring of scattered immortals and earth immortal masters all over the country; but the Yaozu is not bad, the spread of technology has also led to the emergence of a large number of masters in the Yaozu.
It's just that the Shang country also has the consideration of the Shang country. Now the fairyland is developing rapidly, that is because of the development of underground resources, and these resources are already the last reserves of the fairyland. Once these resources are exhausted and the Immortal Domain has not gone out, then the Immortal Domain will be even more difficult in the future.
These resources, according to Shang Guo's preliminary estimates, can last forty years!
Forty years passed by with a snap of the fingers, and before the Shang Kingdom knew it, it would be forty years.
Frowning slightly, Li Xian picked up another document: Longya Empire's coup, Long Aoyun was forced to leave; Buddhist cultivators appeared at the port. Now, this Buddha Xiu and Long Aoyun are going north by boat together. The speed of the boat ride was slow, but it also gave Li Xian and Shang Guo time to think—maybe it was the intention of the other party.
"It is expected to arrive in another month. At that time, Li Yuanming should be back." Li Xian quickly sorted out all the information. Shang Guo is facing a new transformation, a transformation that has already unfolded unconsciously.
This, perhaps, was the third catastrophe of the Shang Kingdom, and also the last catastrophe. But this catastrophe will involve a very wide range.
The robbery in the Shang Kingdom was an unavoidable assassination for Li Xian; it was not Li Xian's willingness, but had to, because the "robbery" was unavoidable. But after all, this is what Li Xian personally faces.
The catastrophe of the Shang country was caused by the Five Elements Spirit Realm. Countless masters besieged the Shang country, and even broke through to the capital of the Shang country at one point, making the Shang country crumbling. This time, Shangguo faced almost the attack of masters from the entire Immortal Domain. There are Yingzhou, Haozhou, Five Elements Spirit Realm, Yaozu and so on.
Next, what the country of Shang needs to face is the 'Heavenly Tribulation'. It's hard to say what it will be like if it gets through, but it will definitely be catastrophic if it doesn't get through.
This catastrophe is like breaking a cocoon again and again. If the Human Tribulation breaks through the tradition of the Immortal Domain, and the Earth Tribulation breaks through the limit of the Shang Kingdom's attack on the entire Immortal Domain, then the Heavenly Tribulation needs to break through the limit of the "first heaven". This is an enemy of the world, a real cocoon breaking!
The whole country soars, it seems to have seen. But a huge crisis is gradually approaching! The reason for declaring war on the Yaozu is: Shang Guo wants to solve each problem in advance and as soon as possible!
Now, Buddha Xiu finally appeared, all the monster races are ready to move, Sanctuary is not an honest person, and the dead world "Gaia World" discovered by Fertile China seems to indicate some kind of change. Others may not have noticed anything, but Li Xian was keenly aware: the structure of practice in this world is not right!
The interior of the Immortal Realm is for comprehension, and ascension means reaching the Immortal Realm; and according to Xiu Zhenwu and other four golden immortals, the Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, with countless races, but cultivation is also the main focus.
However, based on the information obtained by Shang Kingdom from Sanctuary, Sanctuary has been to many strange, even weird worlds during its wanderings. The world of comprehension occupies most of the world, but the rest of the world is full of strange things.
There is also the moon, the traditional way of cultivation on the moon is obviously different from that of Xianyu, and almost all the methods are unfamiliar.
Another point is that the ascension channel of the sanctuary did not exist innately, but was cut off the day after tomorrow, which formed the "ancestral land" of the sanctuary. Strictly speaking, the "ancestral land" of Sanctuary is actually a scar of the world of Sanctuary.
Summarizing everything, Li Xian closed his eyes, leaned back in the chair, and let out a long breath. Everything shows that this world is really not simple, and for some reason, recently Li Xian always feels that there is an extraordinary crisis approaching. This time, it may be very dangerous!
In the past, ascension to heaven was a narrow escape, not to mention the ascension of the whole country.
