Chapter 953: Too Wild
Nanjun and Taihuang are separated by no less than 10 million miles. Even with Ye Chunyang's escape technique, it took nearly seven months to cross the border of Nanjun and land in it.
The Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty has a vast territory, but in general it is divided into Nanjun and Taihuang. Nanjun is connected to the Tianfeng Prairie, and Taihuang is in the center of the Immortal Dynasty. The top sects of the three major factions of Buddhism, Taoism, and Demon are all established here.
But the difference is that in addition to the sects of various factions in Taihuang, there are also countless dynasties and immortal clans of all sizes, which can be said to be intertwined and divided by heroes. There are also some unknown areas left over from ancient times, ancient times, or even more distant times.
Of course, these one-sided information are only what Ye Chunyang got from Mixian Tower. The specific details will be known after in-depth understanding.
In fact, before deciding to come to Taihuang from Nanjun, Ye Chunyang had returned to Mixian Tower to investigate the mountain range predicted by Luo Qingcheng's secondary soul, but unfortunately, the intelligence network of Mixian Tower could not find any relevant clues. Ye Chunyang had no choice but to go to Taihuang alone.
Although it is impossible to determine whether the predicted mountain range is in Taihuang, this place is a place where real strong people gather. Ye Chunyang has long been yearning for it and wants to travel here.
"From the map, this place should be a small country called Xueyan in Taihuang, controlled by a second-rate sect, but there is a large-scale market nearby, so it is better to go there to inquire about the news."
Sitting quietly in a dense forest, Ye Chunyang opened a map and looked at it, and had a general understanding of the nearby terrain.
After determining the direction, he immediately stood up and swung, and his figure flashed and turned into a divine rainbow and broke through the air.
The market town indicated on the map was not far from here. Not long after flying, Ye Chunyang saw some cultivators nearby, some in groups, some alone, and they seemed to be heading to that market town.
Judging from their aura, they seemed to have only the Jindan stage of cultivation, and there was no Yuanying cultivator.
Looking down from the clouds for a while, Ye Chunyang immediately suppressed his cultivation to the same level as the nearby cultivators, and then fell into the market town.
When Ye Chunyang walked into the market town, he was secretly surprised. Although the scale of the market town was not large, there were many cultivators coming and going. However, what caught his attention was that in addition to the ordinary cultivators of the righteous and evil sects, there were also many monks, who were obviously Buddhist disciples.
Ye Chunyang looked around. Although he had seen Buddhist cultivators in the past, this faction was relatively less popular than the Taoist and Demonic sects. There had never been such cultivators in Dongzhou. It seemed that the Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty was indeed a hundred flowers blooming, with various factions.
However, after the initial curiosity, Ye Chunyang did not pay much attention to it, and randomly chose a spiritual material shop and walked in.
With the level of this small market, the spiritual material shop here naturally had nothing to attract him. His real purpose was to find a detailed map of the Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty. The one he had in his hand was obtained from Fatty Zhao of Mixian Tower. It was only a partial information about the topography of Taihuang, far inferior to the local unearthed information.
As soon as he stepped into the spiritual material shop, a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe came up with a smile. His cultivation was about the middle stage of mana. After sensing Ye Chunyang's "Jiedan Stage" aura, he respectfully performed a junior salute and said: "Junior is the shopkeeper of this shop. Senior, what kind of spiritual materials do you need when you visit the shop?"
"Give me a detailed map of Taihuang."
Ye Chunyang said directly without any hesitation.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, looking at Ye Chunyang in surprise and said, "Senior, you don't look like a native of Taihuang?"
"Why, do you still want to find out my origins?" Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows, looking intimidating without being angry.
The shopkeeper's heart trembled, and he even said with a smile, "Senior, calm down. I am just curious for a moment. Generally, the native cultivators in Taihuang know about this place, so they naturally don't need a map. I just heard what you said, so I dared to guess."
"It doesn't matter whether I am a native or not. Just take the map. If it suits my taste, the price will naturally be yours." Ye Chunyang crossed his hands in his sleeves and said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, senior, I will get it for you right away. My shop is one of the most abundant in this market, and the maps I sell are much more detailed than other shops. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!" The shopkeeper heard that Ye Chunyang's tone was obviously generous, so he smiled even more and turned to walk into the inner hall.
Ye Chunyang nodded slightly and waited quietly in the store.
After a while, the shopkeeper reappeared from the inner hall, holding a scroll made of parchment in his hand, and handed it to Ye Chunyang with a smile: "This is the map you need, please take a look."
Ye Chunyang shook his wrist, and the scroll opened silently. There were countless mountains and rivers densely depicted on it, and thousands of countries and sects were marked. From the distribution of terrain alone, it was indeed much more detailed than the rough map he got from Fatty Zhao.
"Senior, you don't know much about Taihuang. Why don't I explain it to you?"
Having experienced all kinds of cultivators, the shopkeeper was more or less a person with some vision. Seeing Ye Chunyang staring at the map in silence, he quickly guessed what the other party needed most at this time.
"Okay, then you tell me." Ye Chunyang's heart moved. Although this map was already very detailed, he was not clear about the background of each sect in Taihuang. It would be great if someone could take the initiative to explain it to him.
"Senior, please see, this is Cangwu Mountain, which is the location of the largest sect of Taoism. It is said that from the ancient times to the present, all the Taoism techniques circulated in the world are derived from this sect."
The shopkeeper pointed at a majestic fairy mountain in the center of the map. Ye Chunyang looked along and saw a unique mark on it. The two striking words "Cangwu" came into view clearly.
Ye Chunyang nodded. Although he had not been in Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty for a long time, he had heard about the largest Taoist sect known as the origin of Taoism, and he was also fascinated by this sect.
At this time, the shopkeeper pointed to a treasure land near Cangwu Immortal Sect and said: "This is where the Shangqing Dao Mountain Gate is located. This sect ranks second among the three major sects of Taoism. Its disciples and techniques are only inferior to Cangwu Immortal Sect. , is more powerful than Lingfu Sect, one of the three major sects, but this sect has always only accepted female disciples, and no men have ever appeared. "
"Only female disciples? Why is this?" Ye Chunyang was surprised.
The shopkeeper shook his head and smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know, this junior. We can't look up to the grandeur of the Pure Path, so how can we know its secrets? However, I heard that this sect's techniques are only suitable for women to practice. This This is the reason for this unique rule. Moreover, the threshold of this sect is extremely high, and no one with dual spiritual roots or above will be accepted as a disciple, which is much more strict than the Cangwu Immortal Sect."
At this point, the shopkeeper raised his head, not knowing what he thought of, with a look of longing on his face: "It is said that the female disciples of Shangqing Dao not only have excellent martial arts, but also are as beautiful as flowers. If they can marry a fairy from Shangqing Dao, It’s not a waste of time to be a wife!”
With an intoxicated look on his face, the shopkeeper saw Ye Chunyang frowning slightly and couldn't help laughing. He quickly regained his concentration and continued: "Senior, look here again. This is the Lingfu Sect, as well as the Qianxu Sect and the Blood Sect of the Demonic Dao. The Demon Sect...the Xiaoleiyin Temple and Fahua Temple of Buddhism, and the rest are various cultivating clans..."
The shopkeeper pointed to the marks on the map and introduced them one by one, including some areas outside each sect, and also explained them in detail to Ye Chunyang.
"In addition to the various sects and clans of Xiuxian, the Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty also has a powerful force that cannot be ignored, which is the Yuan clan of the Taiyuan Dynasty. This clan has a long history, and its heritage is not inferior to the three major factions, and it is even more powerful. It is the only clan that has ruled all countries since ancient times, and the major sects do not dare to provoke it easily. "
The shopkeeper finally pointed at a certain imperial city marked in the center of the picture, and said in a slow voice.
After hearing this man's narration, Ye Chunyang tapped his fingers on the table, thoughtfully.
Through this person's explanation, Ye Chunyang found that the information he had learned in the Nanjun Misian Tower was far less than what he got now. In comparison, what he knew in the Misian Tower was just the tip of the wild iceberg. After actually coming here, Only then can I deeply feel the grandeur of this place.
After a moment, he closed the map, turned his palms slightly, and threw dozens of high-level spiritual stones to the shopkeeper. The latter took them with a happy expression and thanked him repeatedly.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Ye Chunyang taking out a blueprint again and said, "Since you are so familiar with Taihuang, do you know where the notes on it are?"
The shopkeeper was slightly startled. When he looked at the drawing, he saw a strange-shaped mountain range. It seemed nothing out of the ordinary, but it gave people a deep and mysterious atmosphere.
Seeing this picture, the shopkeeper's expression suddenly changed: "Senior, why are you asking about this place?"
"I have my own purpose. You don't need to ask any more questions. Although the map you gave just now is detailed, it does not include this place. If you know the information about this place, I will be rewarded." A trace of displeasure flashed on Ye Chunyang's face. Although the shopkeeper left a good impression on him, he talked a little too much.
The mountain range on this drawing was exactly where Luo Qingcheng sensed it after he recovered a secondary soul. However, he had just checked the map of Taihuang and found nothing similar to this, which made him a little surprised.
But it was obvious from the look on the shopkeeper's face that he knew something.
"It's my fault that I'm presumptuous, but the place that my senior asked about is indeed somewhat special, so it's not marked on the map. Even if my senior searches for this small shop in other places, the result is still the same." The shopkeeper's expression Twinkle, after thinking for a moment, he said these words.
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows, feeling even more curious, and said, "In that case, why don't you tell me what's so special about this mountain range?"
The shopkeeper raised his head and stared at him, his pupils shrinking uncertainly. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said: "This place is called Xuanhuang Mountain, and it is one of the famous dangerous places in Taihuang!"
