Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

The Second Prince's somewhat awkward voice came, "My four most trusted guardians are dead, and now I lack anyone available. I hope that Senior can ask Brother Wu Ji to come to the imperial capital and help me."

Song Xuan: "That's fine, you really need someone you can trust by your side!"

After finishing the voice transmission, Song Xuan put away the formation secret book in his hand and glanced at Song Qian who was refining the elixir.

"Go and inform Patriarch Wu Ji and have him go to the imperial capital immediately to assist the Second Prince."

Song Qian didn't waste any time. She closed the lid of the furnace, took a step out, and disappeared on the spot.

At this moment, Song Xuan's communication jade slip lit up again. Song Xuan swept his spiritual sense and a familiar voice sounded in his mind.

"My dear husband, your wife, I have mastered the magic skills!"

Yao Yue's voice was filled with unconcealed excitement, "With the Dao Heart as the root, and the Demon Seeds as the mind, I have smelted 129,600 Demon Seeds and finally condensed the Supreme Heavenly Demon Dao Fruit!"

Song Xuan: "Oh? Then you must be very powerful now?"

Yao Yue: "That's inevitable. I'm incredibly strong now!"

Song Xuan laughed heartily, "Strength doesn't just come from words. Come back now. I want to examine your body and see how strong you are."

Yao Yuexiao was full of energy and enthusiasm, as if she hadn't been so happy in many years. She said without any hesitation, "Come on, this time, I'm going to let you know what it means to be unable to get out of bed!

Wait a minute, I'll clean up the cave and be back soon!"

"Wait a minute!"

Song Xuan seemed to have remembered something and sent a message: "Don't return to the Dao Song Dynasty yet, go directly to Mo Yuan. Soon, I will accompany the delegation to the border between Mo Yuan and Dao Song.

You go to Mo Yuan and settle down first, we will meet up there directly."

"Demon energy?"

Yao Yue was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Husband, that's a great place for magic cultivation. How about I go and create a magic sect for fun?"

"Okay!"

Song Xuan was very happy to know that his wife had made a breakthrough.

Yao Yue's magic path is so strange that even he finds it difficult to deal with. Now he has finally condensed his Tao fruit and reached the level of a celestial being. If he were to launch a sneak attack or assassinate her, even a Mahayana cultivator would be overwhelmed and unable to defend himself.

With the addition of such a powerful fighter, Song Xuan felt more confident in controlling the fortune compass in the future.

After the voice transmission ended, Song Erni's figure suddenly appeared in the yard.

"I've already explained it clearly to Patriarch Wu Ji, and he has no objections."

Victoria Song looked at her brother's face suspiciously, "Why do I feel like there's something wrong with you?"

"What's wrong?"

Victoria Song shook her head. "I can't explain it, but I feel like you're a little inexplicably excited right now."

"It's not excitement, it's joy! Your sister-in-law has made a breakthrough!"

Victoria Song suddenly said: "I understand, I can be shameless again."

"You know nothing!"

Song Xuan rolled his eyes, turned around and walked into the house. "Is that shameless? That's harmonious!"

Victoria Song curled her lips and shouted outside the yard: "Heishan, Heishan, where the hell have you been?"

"I'm coming! Miss, what can I do for you?"

The big black guy Heishan hurriedly appeared outside the yard and looked at Song Qian nervously.

He had returned to the capital of Southwest Province with the master long after he returned from the secret realm.

Hearing the eldest lady's cry at this moment, I was a little frightened.

I'm not afraid of Lord Song Xuan giving me tasks, but I'm afraid of Miss Song losing her temper. Lords usually don't use force when they're angry, but Miss Song will really beat you up if she says she will!

"Who has heather growing at home? The smell is too strong!"

Victoria Song said unhappily, "Take some people and chop down all the heather in the city!"

"Yes Yes!"

The Black Mountain Old Demon secretly wiped his sweat and hurried away. Fortunately, the eldest lady's anger was not directed at him. He didn't know how the heather had offended this lady?

Watching Heishan leave, Victoria Song snorted twice.

"What the hell do you think I know? There's nothing in this world that I don't understand!"

With a creak, Song Xuan's door suddenly opened, and then a paper titled "Thousand Years of Imperial Examinations, Hundred Years of Simulations" was thrown out by Song Xuan.

"Since you know everything, then do this set of imperial examination papers."

Song Qian's somewhat unconvinced face immediately fell, and then she put on a smile and said coquettishly: "Brother, I was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously!"

Song Xuan looked at Song Qian with a half-smile, which made Song Erni feel a little uneasy, so she closed the door casually.

"I'm in a good mood today and I'm going to take a nap. Go play by yourself and don't disturb my sweet dreams!"

Ever since he communicated with Taoist Master Sanfeng last time and found out that the old Taoist liked to take a nap, Song Xuan also planned to give it a try. He hasn't slept for many years, and to be honest, he really missed it.

After making sure that her brother had gone to bed, Victoria Song opened the test paper in her hand and flipped through a few pages.

Immediately, she pursed her lips, raised her hand and threw the neatly printed paper into the alchemy furnace.

"In this abominable feudal society, the imperial examination system is nothing more than a tool to confine people's thoughts! How could I, Daluotian Song Qian, be constrained by such a trivial thing?"

Looking at the scroll that turned to ash in the alchemy furnace, she nodded contentedly, "Things like this that disturb my Dao heart should be burned to ashes!"

......

The Demon Yuan Dynasty, as the name suggests, the magic system is the mainstream of cultivation here.

Others such as cultivating immortals, refining spirits, cultivating demons and ghosts, etc. are all niche schools.

In the world of cultivation, it is the essence that the strong are respected, but in the Daosong Dynasty, there was at least a layer of imperial laws. Even if the cultivators wanted to fight each other, they would be more or less afraid of the court and would not dare to act casually in the city.

But since entering the Demon Yuan Dynasty, Yao Yue's biggest feeling is that the cultivators here are extremely unscrupulous. Killing people, stealing treasures, extracting souls and refining spirits are almost normal things.

As long as you are strong enough, even if you are the one refining the entire city, the imperial court can turn a blind eye and pretend nothing.

You can kill people, you can do bad things, but as long as you don't rebel, these are not a big deal in the eyes of the Moyuan royal family.

In the end, Yao Yue came to the conclusion that this was not like a dynasty, but more like a dark super sect, a large-scale poisonous insect breeding farm that followed the law of the jungle!

Only those cultivators in the fusion stage who fought their way out of the evil path and finally condensed the Dao fruit are human beings in the eyes of the dynasty. The others are nothing but nutrients and poison seeds!

Chapter 720 Why not get a city lord for fun

Black Rock City is a city bordering the Moyuan Dynasty and the Daosong Dynasty.

Yao Yue crossed most of the Demonic Yuan territory and finally arrived here. According to the information Song Xuan told her, if nothing unexpected happens, the next negotiations between the two countries will be held here.

Unlike Dao Song, which has strict local administrative divisions, Mo Yuan's management of its territory can be described as rough.

Throughout the Demonic Yuan territory, there are huge cities standing one after another, and these cities do not have governors or the like, but some have thousands of city lords.

These city lords possess enormous power. It can be said that within the jurisdiction of their respective cities, they are well-deserved local emperors.

As long as the city lord pays taxes on time every year, he can do whatever he wants within his territory and the imperial court will not care at all.

Rather than saying that this is a dynasty, it is better to say that the Moyuan Dynasty is a city lord alliance. The one with the strongest and most powerful influence is the nominal emperor!

Yao Yue couldn't say whether this country was good or bad, but if she just spoke from her perspective as a magic cultivator, this place was simply her paradise.

As long as you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want.

For example, as long as you are ruthless and strong enough, you can challenge a city lord, defeat or kill him, and become the new city lord.

As long as you pay taxes on time, the court will recognize the new city lord!

To put it bluntly, the entire Moyuan Dynasty is a gathering place for countless demon leaders, and only the top demon leaders are qualified to sit firmly on the position of city lord.

The main urban area of ​​Black Rock City is 3,600 miles in radius, and the inner and outer cities total 50,000 miles. With this city as the center, the surrounding area within a million miles is all the territory of Black Rock City.

For most ordinary people or low-level monks, a city is a world, and it is difficult to leave the territory of Black Rock City in a lifetime.

Countless forces depend on Black Rock City for their existence, and there are countless sects, large and small, and demon-cultivating families.

Every day, some forces are destroyed and new forces rise. Fighting happens almost all the time within the territory of the Moyuan Dynasty.

Of course, fighting does not occur everywhere. According to Yao Yue's travels and observations during this period, no one cares about fighting outside the city, but inside the city, most city lords will make rules to prohibit fighting.

This is a rule set by almost every city lord. Anyone who violates it will be hunted down and killed by the city guards!

For this reason, the biggest wish of almost all low-level cultivators in the entire Demon Yuan is to earn enough spirit stones to buy a house in the outer city and have a safe place to live in this chaotic world.

However, the price is simply too terrible, a figure that can make most monks despair.

Yao Yue asked casually, even a house in the outer city area, even if it is small and can only accommodate one person, starts at tens of thousands of ordinary spirit stones.

That’s it, whether you want to buy it or not, no bargaining!

As for the houses in the main urban area, they all start at one million high-grade spirit stones. Some manors covering a large area only accept top-grade spirit stones, which are difficult for many high-level cultivators to obtain.

In a restaurant, Yao Yue ordered some local specialties to try, and then sat on a chair and told her husband everything she had learned here through the communication jade slip.

Then, Lord Song's emotional and excited voice was heard from the jade slip.

“This Demonic Yuan may seem chaotic, but it is actually orderly. It has a bit of a federal system, and it’s also an empire that rose to prominence based on real estate.

Damn, who on earth came up with this? I'll write a book about me speculating in real estate in the Demonic World. I'm sure it'll go viral!"

Listening to her husband's incomprehensible words in the jade slip, Yao Yue had long been accustomed to it. She smiled and said, "How can speculators make as much money as builders? I can just conquer a city and become its lord. Aren't all the houses mine?"

"Madam is right. My mindset is still not high enough!"

Song Xuan's voice was relaxed. "By the way, how strong are these city lords? Are they easy to deal with?"

Yao Yue pondered for a moment and offered her own opinion, "They are basically all at the peak of the Fusion Realm. After thousands of years and countless challenges, the weaker ones have already been driven out.

Most of those who can still sit firmly in the position of city lord are at the peak of the fusion realm, and each of them has considerable combat power.

As for those at the Mahayana stage, they either don't care about these things or are in seclusion preparing for the tribulation. Occasionally, there are a few who care about power, but they probably stay in the imperial capital."

When he said this, Song Xuan on the other end of the communication immediately understood, "No Mahayana? So, these city lords outside are all soft persimmons?"

Yao Yue nodded and smiled, "To most cultivators, they are terrifying beings that they can only look up to but never reach. But to me, they are truly soft persimmons!"

While chatting, Yao Yue heard a commotion outside the restaurant, and it seemed that many people were walking up the stairs quickly.

Yao Yue smiled at the communication jade slip and said, "Husband, I need to take care of something first. Someone might be coming to die."

"Okay, let's talk later. The appointment letter from the Imperial City Department has arrived, and I just happened to be going to greet him!"

After putting away the jade slip and ending the conversation with her husband, Yao Yue's smile faded and she looked out of the box with a calm expression.

But outside the box, the shopkeeper led a group of Black Rock soldiers and walked quickly towards them. They were aggressive and had bad intentions.

The Black Rock Army is the city guard of Black Rock City. The leader is a young man wearing black armor and holding a golden spear. He looks very powerful.

Beside him, the shopkeeper who was leading the way was explaining the situation in a low voice with a flattering smile on his face.

"Young City Lord, how dare I lie to you? I've been running the restaurant for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered this top-notch furnace.

No matter your figure or face, if the young city lord is not satisfied with anything, I am willing to take off my head to apologize to you.

Not only her appearance and figure, but also the old man, who was at the Spirit Transformation Stage, couldn't sense the woman's cultivation aura at all. She was most likely a great cultivator at the Return to Void Stage or even the Spirit Severing Stage.

I dare to guarantee that it will definitely meet your requirements, Young City Lord!"

The young city lord hummed without commenting, and didn't care too much about what the restaurant owner said.

There are many female cultivators in Black Rock City, but not many of them meet the qualifications to be furnace cauldrons, not to mention those whose appearance, figure and cultivation level meet all his requirements. There are even fewer of them.

If the old shopkeeper had not sent him a message today, willing to guarantee with his life that a top-grade furnace cauldron had arrived in the restaurant, he would not have bothered to make this special trip.

But since he was already here, he wanted to see the quality of the so-called top-grade furnace cauldron that the old shopkeeper boasted about to the sky!

With a creak, the door of the box was pushed open, and a figure came into the sight of the young city lord.

Then, he was stunned!

Chapter 721 Uncle Fu, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!

In a sense, spiritual practice is the continuous evolution of life.

For this reason, except for those with special hobbies or problems in their cultivation, the higher the level of cultivation, the more outstanding their figure and appearance.
