Chapter 1161: Long Journey
"The power of the human magic weapon can be further improved, but that is a matter for the future. The current version has begun to be sold publicly. We must find a way to sell it to other human dynasties to let them know that there is such a powerful Daqian Dynasty in the Yuanling Realm!"
In the court discussion between the Emperor Daqian and several ministers, he said: "We must make the Daqian Dynasty the center of humanity! Use other methods to complete their rule."
At present, except for the Dazhou established and supported by Li Zhirui, the other human dynasties in the Yuanling Realm all came from Daqian.
It's just that after hundreds of years, some still exist, while others have been overthrown and rebuilt. In addition, there is almost no communication between them due to the long distance.
But now the Daqian Dynasty is ready to change this situation!
Because in terms of territory, the Daqian Dynasty has almost reached the limit of expansion, and the surrounding immortal forces are no longer as weak as before, but a truly powerful force.
Being surrounded by enemies, they dare not act rashly, otherwise they are likely to be jointly besieged. By then, the Daqian Dynasty may be at risk of overthrow.
Like the previous attack on Wanlingzhou, they took certain risks.
Unless the Daqian Dynasty is willing to expand northward, it is easy to expand, but the subsequent maintenance and governance is a big problem.
Once some ambitious people appear, they only need to guard the tall mountains between Dongzhou and Beiyu, and the scattered, steep trails, and they can easily cut off the connection with the Daqian Dynasty and establish an independent dynasty!
If this happens, everything the Daqian Dynasty has done before will become someone else's wedding dress, and there may be one more enemy.
After all, the environment in the northern region is harsh, and they are likely to go south to forage frequently.
So when the internal development is continuous, but the external expansion is impossible, the Daqian Dynasty chose another method.
Imitating the previous way of driving away a large number of royal families and aristocratic families and establishing a new dynasty outside, it is hoped that this will ease internal conflicts and reduce the pressure on the Daqian Dynasty facing the immortal way.
The reason why such an action was carried out after the research of the human magic weapon was because the major camps in the Yuanling Realm are now hostile to the human dynasty.
After all, those royal children and noble families are not fools. Without means to save their lives, under extreme suppression from the outside world, establishing a new dynasty with nothing is almost equivalent to sending themselves to death!
Once this decision was announced, it received support from a large number of noble families. Who would be willing to be a minister if they could be the emperor?
Not to mention those royal children. They have almost no power in the Daqian Dynasty. They are kept in a pen like fat pigs, and they have to worry about when they will be slaughtered.
Now there is a chance to escape from this tragic fate, how can they refuse?
So under the promotion of this group of high-level officials, a large number of people began to migrate with their families, including some ambitious people from poor backgrounds, who wanted to become new noble families in the new dynasty!
And Li Zhixuan, who was training in Daqian, witnessed several scenes of hundreds of thousands of people migrating.
After a little inquiry, I knew their purpose and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that Dongzhou is going to start another wave of war!"
It's a pity that these wars are too low-level and can't move her warlike heart.
During this period, some people recognized Li Zhixuan and invited her to participate, and promised her very generous rewards, but she was not tempted at all.
It is very dangerous to help an ambitious person. You have to worry about whether the other party will attack you at any time, not to mention that Li Zhixuan is a cultivator and is naturally incompatible with humanity.
Avoid these migration teams and continue to hone your Tao heart in the territory of Daqian.
...
The immortal forces in the outside world also discovered this move and made various attacks at the same time. They don’t want to be surrounded by the human dynasty in the future!
However, there are some exceptions.
For example, several teams plan to establish a dynasty in the territory of the Demon Dao in Xizhou. Those immortal forces will not only not stop them, but will help them so that they can reach their destination faster.
After this news spread, many migration teams announced that their destination was not in Dongzhou, but in the North Region and the South Region. There are even two families who plan to cross most of Dongzhou and go to the East China Sea to establish a dynasty.
The flames of war that had just been ignited were extinguished in an instant, which made all parties feel relieved.
The immortals are naturally happy to see these human dynasties go to harm other continents. After all, the weakening of the other side is equivalent to the improvement of their own strength.
Moreover, everyone is human. Although there are disputes over the orthodox ideas, that is also an internal matter of the human race. Since the contradiction can be transferred to the outside world and internal fighting and consumption can be avoided, why not do it?
Among them, a team came to Da Zhou after a long journey. This dynasty was far away from Da Qian and was newly established.
Both sides were very shocked when they met. The people of Da Qian did not expect to see the human dynasty in a remote and distant place; the people of Da Zhou did not expect to see people from Da Qian.
After a period of contact, the two sides began to conclude an alliance and help each other.
One side provided various advanced concepts and cultivation methods, and the other side temporarily provided a place to stay and helped to establish a country on the East China Sea.
The interior of Dongzhou has calmed down, but if you look at this Yuanling world, you will find that wars of various degrees have occurred everywhere.
Most of these wars were caused by the struggles between those who migrated from the Da Qian Dynasty and local forces.
…
While the Humane Dynasty was busy sowing and expanding its overall strength, the Li family was also busy recovering the lost territories.
Without the interference of the Dongyuan Sect, this operation went very smoothly.
Facing the powerful army of Li family monks, those forces showed a well-behaved attitude and did not show any resistance.
They did not even have a single immortal, and without the help of the Dongyuan Sect, resisting the Li family was no different from committing suicide.
‘Bring food and drink to welcome the king’s army.’ These eight words are the most true portrayal.
And their previous behavior gave the Li family a good reason to settle accounts!
In order to prevent similar situations from happening again in the future, the Li family further expanded the directly governed territory and established a 500-mile outer defense belt to keep the war out of the core hinterland as much as possible.
As for the original forces in this 500-mile wide territory, they were all driven out, and took a little meager compensation to go to the west where the Li family’s rule was weakest to rebuild the family/sect.
By the time the Dongyuan Sect reacted, the Li family had already recovered their original large territory.
This made the Dongyuan Sect quite angry, but they could do nothing about it, because the Great Zhou Dynasty in the south, another wave of humanitarian forces seeking to establish a country in the sea, and the sea in the east, took up a lot of their energy, so they could not take care of the Li family.
Even the Dongyuan Sect could not calmly deal with multi-line struggles, and they still had to make some choices.
Compared with the humanitarian dynasty fighting for the Tao philosophy, the ethnic blood feud, and the sea clan fighting for territory, the Li family seemed not so important.
After all, the threat of the Li family does not even exist now, and it is unknown how many years later, or even if it does not appear.
It doesn't matter if you suppress it when you are free, but now there are more important enemies to deal with, and the Dongyuan Sect is unwilling to waste energy on the Li family.
It is also in this external peaceful environment that the Li family has developed rapidly for decades.
Although no new Sanxian were born during this period, many clansmen in the Fusion and Mahayana realms appeared, not to mention clansmen in other realms, which made the Li family's strength ladder more stable.
"Alas!"
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Li Zhirui, who had been in seclusion for many years, couldn't help but sigh. He encountered a bottleneck when he broke through the late Sanxian stage.
This made him, who had been smooth and unimpeded since breaking through the Sanxian stage and had never worried about the bottleneck, a little dazed.
"Maybe I should go out for some experience." Li Zhirui murmured to himself.
Although he had not lacked experience, most of them were battles, and he had always been limited to the family and Dongyuan Sect. He had not gone far away to gain knowledge for a long time.
Thinking of this, Li Zhirui began to prepare for the next long journey.
Family affairs were handled by Li Xinde and others, and safety was guarded by Jiang Fengwu, Daqing and others. He didn't need to worry about these. He just needed to prepare enough spiritual objects for himself.
A month later, Li Zhirui told everyone his decision the day before he left.
They were not worried about his safety, but worried that after he left, there would be no one in the family who was extremely powerful to suppress him, and something bad would happen.
"There are the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Xiao Dynasty in the south, and the sea tribe in the east has been dormant for many years and is ready to move recently. The Dongyuan Sect has no energy to deal with the family, so we must be cautious against the sea tribe.
In short, you should be careful and protect the family with peace of mind." Li Zhirui comforted everyone.
Seeing them like this made him more determined to go on a long journey!
Li Zhirui himself did not expect that staying in the family for so many years would make the family so dependent on him!
But if you think about it carefully, this situation is also normal.
Since he broke through the immortal, he has hardly left the family for too long, and all kinds of major events were settled by him. In this way, how could the tribe members not rely on him?
"Then I wish Brother Jiu/Rui Zu all the best and everything he wants."
"You should also practice well and don't be lazy!"
Seeing that Li Zhirui had made up his mind, the crowd did not continue to pester him and soon said goodbye and left.
That night, Li Zhirui left Wanxian Mountain quietly without disturbing anyone.
He did not have an exact destination, so he summoned a cloud and moved with the wind. Anyway, the main purpose of his journey this time was to increase his knowledge and polish his heart, and he did not need too much training in terms of strength.
After floating for a few months in such a dull manner, Li Zhirui finally landed.
He took out the map jade slip and looked at it, and said to himself in surprise: "I didn't expect to come to Hongshuizhou."
This land, which buried countless mortals, now belongs to the Dongyuan School and the Yumen He Family, but the two families do not seem to have any intention of completely resolving the resentment here.
They just cleared some of the resentment on the surface, and then established a formation to open up a quiet place in the spirit vein so that they can practice and plant spiritual objects with peace of mind.
"How could these two major forces make such a stupid move?" Li Zhirui said in disbelief.
You know, the endless hatred contained in Hongshuizhou is not only directed at the demons, but also at the monks!
They hate the monks for not saving them, and hate the monks for letting them become food for the monsters.
It's just that because of the existence of the demons before, this part of the resentment did not appear, but now it is rising rapidly!
If they don't solve it, I'm afraid they will suffer the consequences.
Li Zhirui thought about it and did not warn them. Instead, he went to Da Zhou and asked them to seize the opportunity to bring a bigger disaster to Dongyuan Sect.
He was very enthusiastic about anything that could cause trouble to Dongyuan Sect. As for whether Da Zhou believed it or not, Li Zhirui did not care.
After dropping a piece casually, Li Zhirui once again rode the cloud and followed the wind.
But what he did not know was how much damage Dongyuan Sect had suffered because of the information he left behind!
"Everyone, what do you think of this sudden letter and the content on it?" The new king asked calmly.
"It is likely to be true. We should consider whether we can gain benefits from it."
"We can take this opportunity to drive Dongyuan Sect out of Hongshuizhou and occupy it! At that time, the territory of the dynasty will be expanded by half, which can accommodate more citizens, and at the same time, it will make the dynasty move towards the direction of the imperial dynasty."
Almost all the officials present had similar ideas.
The reason for this is that many people present are from Hongshuizhou, the children of that year.
Whether it was out of public interest or private interest, they all hoped to take over Hongshuizhou.
"Okay! In that case, let's reorganize the army and ask those wizards to stir up the resentment of Hongshuizhou and target Dongyuan Sect."
The young king was always confident and thought that the world was under his control.
"Yes!"
Although the actions of the Great Zhou Dynasty were concealed, they still could not escape the eyes of Dongyuan Sect. They thought that the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to take the initiative and began to organize the army to resist.
But the development of things was beyond their expectations. The Great Zhou Dynasty was not targeting Dongyuanzhou at all, but Hongshuizhou on the other side!
The resentful power was detonated, and the monks who originally lived here were not prepared at all, and their injuries were very serious.
It was at this time that the Great Zhou Dynasty sent out a large army to attack and occupy Hongshuizhou.
The strength of Dongyuan Sect in this place was greatly reduced, and a large amount of territory was taken away when it was caught off guard.
When they reacted, they found that they were powerless to save the situation. The Great Zhou Dynasty had actually established a humane legal network in such a short time!
"Damn the Great Zhou Dynasty! And those lazy and stupid disciples, knowing that the resentment in Hongshuizhou was huge, they did not purify it at all. Now they are suffering the consequences and dying here, right?!" The head of the sect was furious and cursed angrily.
The elders in the hall were silent, waiting for him to vent his anger.
"No! We can't let the Great Zhou Dynasty continue to grow. We must find a way to contain them!" (End of this chapter)
