Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 390: The Dilemma of Sainthood, New Moon Ceremony

sanctified.

Two simple words, but it is a goal that the warriors of the whole China have struggled to pursue throughout their lives. Taking the thirteen states in the world, counting from the time before the Dayu Dynasty to the present, the recorded history of China is more than 4000 years. Powerful warriors are as countless as the stars on a summer night, but the total number of saints who have appeared is only more than 20.

Some people may be confused by this calculation, and it should be more than that.

Today, there are six great saints in the Dajin family alone, and there is one in each of the other eight holy places. There are two stronger ones like the Ziqing Holy Sect, there are two in the White Deer Academy, and there is Shi Tian who just died. , and Jiang Bufan, Emperor Yu who died five years ago, so there are already eighteen in the contemporary era. How could there be only more than 4000 saints in more than 20 years?

But the actual situation is this. Except for the eighteen contemporary saints, there are only six recorded saints in the world, namely Shenzong Jiang Shenyan, Fuzi, Wuzong Jiang Tianming, the ancestor of the Brahma Sect Zhan Taiyuntian, and the demon concubine Meng Qiuli.

The lifespan of a saint is too long, a full 6000 years. Which one of the [-] contemporary saints did not live on the land of China early on? Most of them are themselves a living history. Some people may be confused that they are contemporary, not people from the past.

For example, Buddha Shitian, a long time ago, was just a little monk chanting Buddha and sutras beside Yu Shenzong; another example is Zhao Yulong of Qinjian Villa, who was the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses during the Great Yu Dynasty; and another example is Chuang Chuang Yuwen Hongzhang of the Jin Dynasty was also the divine general of Yu the Great...

These saints are more or less related to Shenzong. From more than 1000 years ago, or even more than 2000 years ago, these people dominated the world, and they are still the ones to this day.

Taking the thirteen states in the world, the current population is in the billions. In the past 4000 years, countless people have appeared. The number of warriors is in the billions at least. But saints, since the beginning Since then, there have been more than 20.

Just looking at this ratio, you can see how difficult it is to become a saint.

It is no less difficult for Hou Yuxiao to become a saint than it is for him to lead Hexi from a small tribe in Zhaoyang County to the current leader of Hexi Road.

Precisely because he knew it was too difficult, Hou Yuxiao did not dare to waste even a moment. From the end of the battle of Jianye Mansion in early July to now, he has stayed in the Five Elements Heaven for the past two months. Calculated at a hundred times the time flow rate, that is More than 16 years.

What he gained in 16 years is currently suspended in the sky above the Five Elements Sky. A phantom of the Demonic Ape Martial Spirit, which is nearly [-] feet high and shrouded in black mist. The Holy Core of the Sea of ​​Stars in its abdomen shines brightly. Even if the Martial Spirit remains motionless, , and exudes an aura of terror all the time.

The symbol of the Sub-Saint is that the Holy Core of the Star Sea is condensed from the Dantian, and after fused with the martial spirit on the altar, it becomes a thousand-foot-long martial spirit shadow. The entire training of the Sub-Saint stage is to continuously strengthen the martial spirit shadow.

It is not considered saturated until it reaches ten thousand feet.

Only after reaching saturation can one be said to be qualified to try to become a saint.

Therefore, the problem now is that Hou Yuxiao has not reached the peak stage of sub-sage cultivation in the past 16 years, let alone becoming a saint.

The process of Wu Ling Xuying's growth is simply too slow. Even in a place like Five Elements Heaven, where spiritual power is abundant and suitable for cultivation, he has been cultivating continuously for 16 years, forgetting to sleep and eat, and has only reached less than nine thousand feet. The key is this The further the process of growth goes, the slower the speed will be. According to his own estimation, it will take at least a hundred years of effort for the next thousand feet.

A hundred years, that is, one year in the Five Elements Heaven, sounds like it is enough in the blink of an eye. The problem is that one day costs 1000 million karma, and one year continuously changes the time flow rate of the Five Elements Heaven, which means that it takes at least 36 billion. Karma.

This is 36 billion if he does not count the karma that needs to be used elsewhere and only uses it for the Five Elements Heaven. Based on the current population of 8000 million in Hexi Road, he would have to save for more than two years even if he doesn't use anything.

If nothing else changes, Hou Yuxiao can afford to wait for more than two years. The problem is that once the Jin Dynasty kills Long Yu in the next two years, the situation in Hexi will immediately become very dangerous. He has no time to wait at all. Moreover, in order to improve the family's strength, he had to continuously use karma points, which was impossible to save.

Taking a step back, even if he really saved these 36 billion and successfully practiced in the Five Elements Heaven for a hundred years, he would only have reached the peak of the sub-sage, and he would only be qualified to hit the realm of the saint. , rather than sanctification…

A trace of sadness flashed in Hou Yuxiao's eyes. His goal was to become a saint, but now he has not even reached the peak of sub-sage.

Hexi is prosperous now, but all this is based on the world being calm. As long as the Jin Dynasty kills Long Yu, Hexi will immediately be forced to take sides among the three parties. With the current strength of Hexi, no matter which side he takes, he will probably face Come disaster.

He was worried all day now, and would go to Hou Yuling from time to time to confirm the news, for fear that Da Jin would find Long Yu. Fortunately, there was no news from Hou Yuling for more than two months in a row.

As long as Da Jin is still stable, I will have time. Instead of thinking about it here, it is better to continue to improve my strength with peace of mind. Da Jin has not been able to find Long Yu, and there may be other changes in the middle. If the opportunity comes, I will It would be a pity if you don’t have time and can’t grasp it...

Hou Yuxiao murmured, sorted out the complicated thoughts, closed his eyes and crossed his legs and began to practice attentively. With 8000 million karma points and a steady stream of income every day, it should be enough to support it for ten days. The ten days in it, that's it. It is equivalent to three years in the outside world.

Now, we must seize every moment of cultivation time.

Maybe one day the opportunity will come.

Hou Yuxiao has been practicing quietly in the Five Elements Heaven. Even if the army rotates in and out, he only creates a projection to take charge of the management, and he has never moved.

After three years were over and the karma value was no longer enough to change the flow of time in the Five Elements Heaven, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the army still cultivating below. He specifically glanced at Hou Wuji and Hou Wuji again. Then he turned around and walked out of Five Elements Heaven.

At present, there is nothing going on in Hexi, so we simply let these soldiers continue to practice inside. Anyway, his karma value is replenished every day, and as long as it is available, it will be used in the Five Elements Heaven. These people can still have a lot of extra time to practice.

The fifth day of the tenth month of the year 1332 of the New Yu Calendar

Three years have passed inside, while only ten days have passed outside.

Fortunately, Hou Yuxiao had already been in retreat twice longer than this, and he did not feel any discomfort when he came out. Apart from the guards who were on duty every day, there was no one else in Zhaoyang Palace.

"See the master!"

Hou Yuxiao waved his hand lightly, signaling the guards to continue on duty, and disappeared into the Zhaoyang Palace in a flash. The guard looked up and saw Hou Yuxiao disappearing, a look of reverence suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he started chatting with the guard next to him.

"Our head, if you look at the world now, there are very few rivals, right?"

"Nonsense, even a saint can be driven to death, what do you think!"

Hou Yuxiao, who was flying in the air, suddenly shook his head helplessly when he heard the words of the two guards behind him.

Forced Shi Tian to death, this is probably the biggest misunderstanding of him in the world at present. If there were no masters of the four holy places, would Hou Yuxiao risk his life to force Shi Tian to death?

However, only some relatively low-level and uninformed warriors would spread the word like this. Everyone in the world who is smarter and has higher cultivation level, and even the senior officials of the major holy places, including the Hou family, everyone who participated in the battle of Jianye Fucheng , in fact, we all know what is going on.

Speaking of which, the Hou family now rules half of the state, but Hou Yuxiao has never actually seen it once. This time he has been in seclusion for such a long time, so he just came out to relax. In mid-air, Hou Yuxiao looked at the whole picture of Hexi from a distance. Looking at Zhaoyang Mansion in the east.

There are four prefectures in Hexi Road:

The easternmost is Zhaoyang Prefecture. In addition to Hexi Daocheng, there are three counties of Longxiang, Yangping, and Wanyang, plus a Zhaoyang Prefecture. There are one prefecture, three counties, and fifteen counties, totaling twenty cities.

In the middle is Xingnan Prefecture. In addition to Xingnan Prefecture, there are five prefectures: Yinling, Jinling, Yunxiang, Jiuying, and Yuzhao. There are 23 counties in one prefecture, five prefectures, and 29 cities in total.

To the south is Nanping Prefecture, which is the original land of the Five Miao Miao in Southern Xinjiang. The original Southern Xinjiang did not have a county. After the Hou family conquered Nanping, they did not re-establish a county. Therefore, in addition to Nanping Fucheng, only the original four Miao Miao were included. The city was changed to a county government. Currently, there are Yukang, Xiaqiu, Ziyang, and Zhaoling. There are four counties in one prefecture, and five cities in total.

Further west in the middle is the newly conquered Jianye Prefecture. In addition to Jianye Prefecture, there are five counties: Pengkang, Jiuchi, Yeyun, Fuyang, and Xiapi. There are a total of one prefecture, five counties, and 22 counties, totaling 28 cities.

The entire Hexi Road has a total of 82 cities, with a population of just over 8000 million. Of course, the population of cities at different levels in prefectures, counties, and counties is different, but on average, a city with a population of one million is actually just right, and it is the best in the world. Average for each state and city.

Although Hexi is only called one road, its actual area is as big as two roads. The main reason is that Nanping Prefecture, which inherits the southern territory, is already comparable to one road. But the problem is that Nanping Prefecture only has five cities, and the five Miao people are not It is prosperous, so even though there is half a state, the total population of Hexi is only over 8000 million.

According to the calculation that a state has a population of at least [-] to [-] million, the Hexi half of the state should have a population of more than [-] million. The difference now is too far.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. Ever since Xuzhou crossed the border in 1321, there had been basically no peace in Hexi. There were frequent wars, and wars between hundreds of thousands and millions of warriors were common. War wars were most likely to cause demons to wreak havoc, even if they were not Third-level peerless demons like Miss Tihong, and other lower-level demons, could also be seen everywhere before Hou Yujie took the lead in cleaning them up.

Even the saints had fought in Wanglong Mountain.

In such a turbulent Hexi, the population naturally cannot maintain normal levels.

Hou Yuxiao wanted to buy some time for Hexi to recuperate, but the problem is that Hexi is now sandwiched between the three families, and the situation has become more dangerous. No matter what changes occur in the three families, Hexi may become a battlefield. If the war breaks out, Hexi's More than 8000 million living beings are afraid of another disaster.

When he thought of these things, he couldn't help but feel a little more depressed. Remembering that he came out to relax, Hou Yuxiao shook his head slightly, put away the complicated thoughts in his mind, and lowered his head to look at the whole of Hexi.

The boat will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge. I am just trapping myself by worrying about it now.

The Hou family's development from Zhaoyang County to the current master of Hexi relies on crisis after crisis. Now it owns the 82nd city in Hexi. Compared with before, the Hou family has too much capital, and they still work all day long. There is no need to be frightened.

82 cities!

Hou Yuxiao, who was overlooking the entire Hexi Road from the sky, felt a little pride in his heart. Before and after, not including the Five Elements Heaven, he had only been in this world for 13 years.

In 13 years, a small family from a low-profile county town has developed into one that now controls half of the state, governs 82 cities, and has a population of more than 8000 million. It has actually become the most powerful family in the Holy Land, the Hexi Hou family.

To say that he didn't feel proud in his heart would be a lie.

13 years ago, who could have imagined that the small Hou family in Zhaoyang County would grow into the behemoth it is today. In the same way, who can be sure that the Hou family in the future will not become the king of the world...

"Hey, someone is here?"

Hou Yuxiao suddenly turned his head and looked to the west, frowning.

This breath is very familiar, it is... Duanmu Hong.

"Patriarch Hou, don't come here unharmed!"

Hou Yuxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. When he looked at Duanmuhong now, he saw that he was a little different from last year. Duanmuhong's martial spirit was only seven thousand feet long, and his cultivation was still lower than him. Not only his cultivation, but now the two The status of people should also be different.

To be honest, his impression of Duanmu Hong has never been very good. He recalled that the first time he met Duanmu Hong was in Wangchuan Daocheng in the north. At that time, he was forced by Zhan Taiqing to go to Shendu with him. It was the first time he saw Duanmu Hong. Hou Yuxiao still remembers how loyal the old man was to Zhan Taiqing at that time.

At that time, he also asserted that with the two great guardians Duanmuhong and Huangfuxing, plus Zhan Taiyuntian's old tribe within the Rakshasa Holy Cult, Sikong Yue might not be able to win the battle to succeed the leader. Unexpectedly, Sikong Yue would win in the end. Well, the key is that as soon as Sikong Yue wins, the two old guys Huangfu Xing and Duan Muhong will immediately fall to Sikong Yue.

Speaking of which, Hou Yuxiao himself is also such a loser, but that's just the way people are. He can do it, but he doesn't want others to do it, especially when he sees others doing the same thing, he feels deeply disgusted in his heart.

A loyal minister should not interfere with the two masters.

"Right Protector, why are you free today and come to Hexi?"

Duanmuhong also saw that Hou Yuxiao's cultivation was higher than his own, so his tone naturally became more respectful, and he cupped his hands and said: "According to the order of the leader, the head of the Hou family is invited to participate in the new moon ceremony held by our holy religion on October [-]th. , then the leader of the church will personally hold a banquet at the main altar of the Holy Church, and I hope that the master of the Hou family will not hesitate to appreciate it!"

New moon celebration?

Hou Yuxiao was taken aback for a moment, first he wondered what the New Moon Ceremony was, and then reacted abruptly, asking in surprise, "Sikong Yue... No, your Sikong leader has returned from Bingzhou?"

Duanmuhong obviously heard what Hou Yuxiao was saying. He chuckled lightly and said with a hint of pride on his face: "That's right, not only the leader, but also our holy army and the masters of the general altar have all returned to Yongdu!"

………………

Hou Yuxiao stood there, his expression changing continuously. He knew very well that the meaning of Duanmuhong's words had all come back from Bingzhou, which meant that the war between the two states that had lasted for six years had come to an end.

There will be a New Moon Ceremony as soon as we come back. Do you need to think about the meaning of this?

This is to tell the world that the Rakshasa Holy Sect has destroyed the Blood Spirit Demon Sect...

"Master Hou, I have to inform the others, so I won't bother you. The leader of this grand ceremony has called on Master Hou's name. I hope that Master Hou will come by then!"

Called your name.

Hou Yuxiao's pupils were slightly condensed, watching Duanmuhong turn and leave, and softly replied: "I am wrongly loved by the leader, Hou will definitely arrive on time!"
