Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

"Today's Tiantian Clan is just a ferocious and vicious dog!"

When the Lord of Wu En City said this, he couldn't help but sneered: "Who could have expected? The 'Swallowing Heaven Clan', once considered one of the divine clans between heaven and earth, would one day become a lackey who looks after other people's homes and homes. !”

The sky was gloomy, and black ashes from the war were floating in the air, as if black snow had fallen from the sky.

The surroundings were lonely, and the world seemed to be grieving for the Tiantian Clan.

The Lord of Wu'en City changed the subject and said with a smile: "So don't be afraid. If your identity is discovered by some big families and sects, as long as you are willing to be their dog, you can still get a lot of benefits."

"But if your identity is discovered by a group of minions, they have no family protection and no sect to rely on. After learning your identity, they will definitely try their best to contact the Giant God Clan as soon as possible!"

Lin Bai healed his wounds and regained his spiritual power, and said with a smile: "It's the same everywhere, whether it's the demon world or the spiritual world, there's war everywhere."

"For money and status, for cultivation resources, for power and beauty, the demon world and the spiritual world are waging war every moment!"

"Are these troubled times?"

"Or...this is the end of the world!"

Lin Bai looked up to the sky, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and let out a long sigh.

The Lord of Wu En City shrank his eyes and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect you to be so humble at such a young age!"

"It's so rare!"

Suddenly, his words suddenly changed and he said, "Do you know why I joined the Blood God Cult?"

This is also where Lin Bai was very confused.

Wuen City, one of the important cities in the south of Kezhou, was highly valued by the Chu Dynasty.

The city lord of Wu'en City holds a title within the Chu Dynasty, and his status is comparable to that of a second-rank minister of the current dynasty. When stationed in Wu'en City, he is equivalent to a feudal official.

How could he, who holds a high position, enjoys glory, is a powerful minister, and has great cultivation, suddenly want to betray the Chu State?

Lin Bai asked: "This is what I have always been unable to figure out. In terms of cultivation, you are considered the overlord in the demon world; in terms of status, you are a second-rank minister in the Chu Kingdom; in terms of power, you are equivalent to Kezhou." So, the feudal official..., why did you betray Chu?"

The Lord of Wuen City took a deep breath and said, "Because I discovered that within the Chu Kingdom, I have no hope of going any further!"

Lin Bai frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

The Lord of Wuen City said: "Five hundred years ago, I was only one step away from Daluo Daoguo. At that time, I served the Chu Kingdom wholeheartedly."

"But later, my mind gradually changed."

Lin Bai asked: "What made you change your mind?"

The Lord of Wuen City said: "Because I found that relying on the Chu Kingdom, I will never be able to break through the Taiyi Daoguo realm in my life, and I will never be able to reach the Daluo Daoguo realm in my life!"

"As you can see, it is easy for a warrior to break through to the Taoist realm, but if you want to break through to the Taiyi Daoguo realm, or even a higher realm, you need something very important!"

Lin Bai's eyes narrowed and he said, "Xianyu?"

"That's right, it's Immortal Jade!" The Lord of Wu'en City showed a solemn look on his face and said, "As you can see, the current demon world is severely lacking in resources."

"Especially fairy jade resources are extremely scarce."

"Eighty percent of the entire demon world's fairy jade resources are occupied by the most prosperous sects and families in the demon world."

"If you want to get the immortal jade resources, you have to work as a pawn for them!"

"The Chu Dynasty's salary is distributed once every hundred years."

"Do you know how much immortal jade resources I can get from the Chu Dynasty in one hundred years after I become the lord of Wuen City?"

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment and looked at him quietly.

He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Ten thousand immortal jade!"

Lin Bai was shocked and exclaimed: "Ten thousand immortal jade is so little?"

However, when Lin Bai thought about it carefully, there were tens of thousands of cities in Kezhou, and the total number of city owners in the eighteen states of Huangquan exceeded more than 200,000.

Of course, not every city lord is like the city lord of Wuen City, who has a high position and can get a thousand immortal jade.

For many city lords, the number of immortal jade they can obtain within a hundred years is usually several hundred to several thousand.

Only the lord of an important city like Wuen City can obtain more than ten thousand immortal jade.

Ten thousand immortal jade in one hundred years, one hundred thousand immortal jade in one thousand years, and one million immortal jade in ten thousand years.

Lin Bai whispered: "If you calculate it carefully, it is actually quite a lot. A warrior in the Taiyi Daoguo realm can live for at least ten thousand years."

"You can get millions of immortal jade in ten thousand years!"

The Lord of Wu'en City gave a bitter smile and said, "Lin Bai, Lin Bai, you are still too young and don't know the true cruelty of this world!"

"You know that Wu'en City is one of the important cities in Kezhou. Do you know that in order to become the city lord of Wu'en City, you must first have the cultivation level of Taiyi Daoguo realm?"

"Then do you know how many years it takes for a warrior to break through from the Taoist realm to the Taiyi Daoguo realm?"

The Lord of Wu En City stared at Lin Bai and said.

Lin Bai shook his head blankly.

"Let me tell you my story."

"I, He Yi, have been practicing for a total of 10,200 years. I was born in Kezhou and have shown extraordinary talent in martial arts since I was a child."

"Ever since I was little, I have been regarded as the apple of my family's eye and was listed as a genius for training."

"Awakening the god-level martial spirit at the age of three, divine elixir at the age of five, flying to the sky at the age of eight, aspiration at the age of seventeen, joining the Tao at the age of forty-nine, the peak of Taoism at the age of 1,300, the peak of Taoism at the age of 2,500, and the peak of Taoism at the age of 3,110. The peak of Taoism at the age of twenty-three!"

"And it took me nearly five thousand years to break through from the peak of Taoism to the realm of Taiyi Daoguo!"

"The reason for this is because we didn't get enough immortal jade resources!"

"I also once studied in the Tianxian Sect, one of the five and seven sects of Chu State."

"With my talent, I should have been able to join the Celestial Immortal Sect like a fish in water, but later I discovered that the Celestial Immortal Sect produces countless geniuses every year."

"My talent within the Tianxian Sect can only be considered to be at the upper-middle level. There are many more outstanding disciples who are far ahead of me!"

"So I have to work harder. I and many of my friends from the same sect have gone through countless dangers and traveled around, and finally got a lot of fairy jade."

"When I was six thousand years old, I finally broke through to the Taiyi Daoguo realm."

"From the peak of the Taoist realm to the Taiyi Daoguo realm, I spent nearly three thousand years collecting fairy jade, and then I barely broke through!"

Lin Bai heard the Lord of Wu'en City telling his life story. Although his words were smooth and smooth, only he knew how much suffering he had experienced along the way.

"Many warriors in the demon world are like me. They spent their whole lives just barely breaking through to the Taiyi Daoguo realm."

"After breaking through the Taiyi Daoguo realm, many people have become numb and their hearts have become cold. Because they know that no matter how hard they try, they can't go any further."

"So many people either choose to serve as elders within the sect, which means they can take care of themselves until their old age and focus on cultivating the next generation of disciples in the family."

"But there are also many people who are not willing to stop on the martial arts path."

"I'm the one who won't give in!"

"So, after I broke through the Taiyi Daoguo realm, I realized that relying on the resources of the Tianxian Sect would not allow me to break through to the Daluo Daoguo realm."

"I resolutely quit the sect and joined a force that is more powerful than the Tianxian Sect."

"This force is the Chu Dynasty! One of the most prosperous sects in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm."
