Chapter 42: The Great History of the Immortal World (Part II)
After a long time, Lei Dong asked in a deep voice: "So, the establishment of the Xuanwu Academy ......?"
The old man Nishan's beard under his chin trembled slightly, slowly took a sip of tea, nodded and said: "After the battle of immortals and demons, people of insight in the immortal world realized that the state of the immortal world before the sects were numerous, acting on their own and constantly strife, there was a great hidden worry. The constant fighting has consumed too much strength, and in the face www.biquge.info of a powerful enemy, it is impossible to quickly organize effective countermeasures. This state of affairs must be resolved as soon as possible. ”
"That's why Heavenly Court was established?" This history, Lei Dong has heard Song Tianxing mention it briefly, but from the mouth of the old man Nishan who participated in the battle of immortals and demons back then, it has a different taste.
"Yes, later, under the efforts of several top-level Xuan Immortal powers, the Heavenly Court was established with the major sects of the Immortal Realm as the mainstay." The old man Nishan nodded slightly, and then sighed again, "It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, just over 10,000 years, the two immortal emperors hung up their crowns one after another, the heavenly court was scattered, and the immortal world returned to its original state." ”
The old man Nishan was a little gloomy, and Lei Dong also sighed secretly.
In fact, according to his superficial knowledge of history, society, and political science, Lei Dong knows that in any place, when the society develops to a certain level, it will spontaneously form an organization to manage general social and public affairs, but in the mortal world, the largest country facing itself is only less than 20 million square kilometers, and the most populous country is only a billion people. Just such a people, such a big ground, after thousands of years of human historical evolution, there are still many contradictions within various countries, conflicts and wars, not to mention the immortal world, I don't know how big it is, and I don't know how many monks there are? In addition, everyone is a monk, and the concept of the sect is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, I don't know how many billions of years, and the contradictions and conflicts will definitely be far beyond my imagination.
If we go further, if a regime wants to be stable, the most important thing is that the bottom must have a sense of identity, and the upper organization must have control over the bottom. But judging from the sporadic information learned so far, at this point, Heavenly Court obviously did not do it. Relying only on the recommendation of the upper-level sects, they united to form a grass-stage team, lacking control over the bottom, and because of the large number of sects and contradictions, coupled with the vast territory, the necessary recognition and support for the Heavenly Court regime, its rapid disintegration was almost foreseeable from the beginning.
It's just that it seems that the later bigwigs of the fairy world didn't realize this problem. Otherwise, in the next tens of millions of years, if these bigwigs can really do something, the new Heavenly Court regime will have enough time to make a comeback.
While Lei Dong was thinking silently, the words of the old man Nishan also entered his ears and entered his mind without a word.
"The good heavenly court disintegrated like this, and seeing that the immortal realm, which was expected to recover as soon as possible, returned to chaos, in fact, many people were unwilling at that time." The old man of Nishan said, "At that time, a group of Heavenly Soldier Dao seniors led by Qing Xuan Zhenren and Qingfeng Shangxian, as well as several supervisors led by He Lianchen and You Mingjing, ran and appealed in many ways, but after all, it was difficult to defeat the general trend, and in desperation, they were retreating to the second, with the original backbone of each department, united with some like-minded colleagues, and successively established the Xuanwu Academy and the Supervision Dao, on the one hand, constantly promoting the descendants of the fairy world, and on the other hand, supervising the collusion with the demons. ”
Lei Dong nodded silently, feeling that these immortal seniors were quite far-sighted.
"These things have gradually been drowned out now, and few people know what is going on in them," the old man Nishan's expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he sighed long: "Actually, even fewer people know that before the dissolution, there were huge disagreements and even quarrels at the top of the Heavenly Court. ”
"What disagreement?" The expression of the old man Nishan made Lei Dong a little surprised, and he vaguely felt that it was likely that the real secret was about to be gradually revealed, so he couldn't help blurting out, "Why quarrel?" ”
The old man of Nishan pondered for a while, although these things were turned over and over in his mind for tens of millions of years, but once he was about to speak, he still solemnly organized his own language, and then said slowly: "In fact, in the battle of immortals and demons, a large number of masters participated in the secret investigation, and it was not completely nothing, at least some people inadvertently discovered that those demon monks had a trace of inexplicable mysterious aura in the sea of knowledge, and it was this aura that caused them to explode at the most critical time. And the source and nature of this aura are unprecedented in the immortal world. ”
Mysterious? Self-destructing? Lei Dong's heart jumped suddenly, recalling the demon general who blew himself up in front of his eyes at that time, he was about to subconsciously say something when he took off, and suddenly blew himself up? Could it be that there is some other secret in this?
With Lei Dong's eyes burning, the old man Nishan continued: "As the investigation continues to deepen, some Xuan Immortal-level masters have discovered that there are some strange species that have never been seen before in the demon team. The fairy world is vast, all things are growing, no one dares to say that they have seen all races, but the secret investigation found that these strange species are all the monks who have been questioned, have not seen it, this is very contrary to common sense, you know, the monks who have been questioned have a total of more than 100,000, and they are from all over the fairy world, and the results are without exception, each of them said that they have never seen this species! ”
"Birdman?!" Lei Dong's heart suddenly shook and he screamed loudly.
"Birdman?" The old man Nishan seemed to feel a little interesting about this title, glanced at Lei Dong with great meaning, nodded and said, "These birdmen are completely different from the immortal realm and the demon monks, and they are also completely different from the human race and the demon clan monks, they seem to have no body, they are completely composed of some kind of peculiar aura and spiritual power, if the cultivation is high, the wings will be more and longer, and the wings with low cultivation will be less and shorter, and the few with more than ten wings have reached the combat power of the monk golden immortal level." But the strange thing is that no matter how strong their actual combat strength is, they don't seem to have any sanity, and they just rely on instinct to fight. And when they are killed, they will turn into a breath and dissipate without a trace. ”
"I'm just afraid, the breath on the bodies of these birdmen is exactly the same as the breath in those demons in the sea of consciousness, right?" Lei Dong's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.
The old man Nishan glanced at Lei Dong approvingly, nodded and said, "Yes, these breaths are exactly the same nature as the breaths in the Demon Cultivator's Sea of Knowledge. However, this discovery caused huge disagreements among the Immortal Realm Sect Alliance and later the high-level Heavenly Court. ”
"Qingxuan Zhenren and Qingfeng Shangxian and the others think that this may be the reason why the demon cultivator has entered the demon, and they should follow this clue to investigate," the old man sighed, "But more high-level people think that this is just a new species that no one has discovered, and it is a species that has already entered the demon, and the aura on the body is the same as that of the demon race, so it is not worth making a fuss about at all." What's more, among the fairy realm demon clans, there are not a few winged clan monks, why is it surprising? What's more, as the battle between the immortals and demons gradually calms down, these birdmen have gradually disappeared, but I am afraid that they have been completely wiped out, and the loss of the fairy world is huge, so why spend endless manpower and material resources in this regard? ”
Lei Dong was silent, but he let out a long sigh in his heart, and there was a faint trace of uneasiness in his heart, in his opinion, maybe this was the most serious mistake made by the immortal monks......
The two sides insisted on each other's words, and finally quarreled completely. This quarrel is tens of thousands of years, and no one can convince the other party. The old man Nishan sighed, "In the end, several extremely authoritative seniors, and representatives of several of the largest sects, even lined up the table, thinking that Qingxuan Zhenren and other seniors were just using this to seize power, in order to better use the public resources of the immortal world......"
At this point, the gloomy look on the old man's face could no longer be concealed, and he said silently for a long time: "In the end, as the quarrel continued to intensify, as the contradictions between the major sects gradually became prominent, the Heavenly Court finally disintegrated, and the investigation of the Heavenly Soldier Dao and the Supervision Dao could only be reluctantly stopped. In the end, at the insistence of Qingfeng Shangxian and Qingxuan Zhenren, after the establishment of the Xuanwu Academy, on the one hand, it was necessary to continue the incense for the inheritance of the immortal realm, and on the other hand, it was also agreed by the various sects to be responsible for monitoring the movements of the demon world and undertaking the war with the invasion of small-scale demons. ”
"Time flies so fast," the old man Nishan sighed faintly, "Millions of years have passed in a flash, and even the presiding officers of the Xuanwu Academy and the Supervision Dao have changed several times one after another, not to mention the changes of other major sects, many people have forgotten what happened before, and they are just implementing the agreement reached by the predecessors, step by step, and living a relatively peaceful life......
Lei Dong already had a premonition that something would happen next, but he still didn't speak, just looked at the old man Nishan quietly, expecting him to tell the development of things. And the old man of Nishan didn't seem to need Lei Dong to ask, he brought Lei Dong here and had a long talk with him in person, originally to tell Lei Dong what had happened.
"However, just a few million years ago, things suddenly changed," the old man Nishan said, "According to the monitoring, the vitality of the demon race was quickly restored, and they began to continuously impact the space barriers, and they also opened up several secret passages, and began to invade and infiltrate the fairy world, but the scale of these invasions was not large, and under the encirclement and suppression of the monks of the Xuanwu Academy, it could be calmed down quickly, but at this time, we suddenly discovered that in a certain place in the fairy world, which mysterious birdmen began to appear, And launched a large-scale attack on the fairy world. ”
"These birdmen still seem to have no body, and they are completely composed of spiritual power and mysterious aura, but the birdman masters above the Golden Immortal level and with more than ten wings seem to have a certain amount of spiritual intelligence, and what is even more terrifying is that the number of these birdmen has reached a jaw-dropping level!" The old man of Nishan looked grim, "They don't know where they came from, but there are two-winged, four-winged, and even six-winged birdmen, from tens of thousands, to hundreds of thousands, and then to millions, covering the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and launching wave after wave of dense impacts to the fairy world, this impact is often day and night, and the momentum is huge, plus these birdmen are completely sane, just desperate to attack, for a while, Xuanwu Academy suffered heavy casualties......"
"Could it be that those big sects are indifferent to this?" Lei Dong gritted his teeth and asked, but in fact, this question didn't need to be answered at all, if those great sects were willing to strengthen their strength, why would the old man of Nishan be so worried like now?
Sure enough, the old man of Nishan sighed and said with a wry smile: "For millions of years, these sects have been accustomed to peaceful days, how can they still contribute to this?" The old man and the Taoist friends of the Commission for Discipline Inspection have come to the door many times to persuade them, but these sects just think that we are alarmists, and that these birdmen are just carbuncles, so there is nothing to worry about. Over time, those of us knew that it would be futile to go on like this, so we had to think of another way to ......."
"Damn, short-sighted!" Lei Dong couldn't help it anymore, and in connection with all the things he had seen in the mortal world, he had already instinctively felt that there must be some earth-shattering big secret in this, those birdmen were definitely not just ordinary demons!
"Born in sorrow, die in peace!" Lei sighed hatefully, then remembered something and asked, "So, in addition to inheriting the exercises, the Xuanwu Academy has specially set up a subject for formation battles?" ”
The old man nodded, obviously satisfied with the flexibility of Lei Dong's mind: "Yes, those birdmen are too many, relying on the immortal realm monks alone is no longer enough to defeat the enemy, and they can only rely on some powerful formations to stabilize the situation." In the past million years, we have tried our best to select those monks who have high cultivation and are innocent and reliable, and after training in battle formations, we have sent them to that place one after another, and for tens of thousands of years, the center of gravity of the Xuanwu Academy has actually completely shifted there. Even I, for most of the year, stay there. ”
From the words of the old man Nishan, Lei Dong had already vaguely grasped something, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated involuntarily, and he said eagerly: "So ......"
"So, that place has become a concentration of a large number of monks who are aware of the seriousness of the problem," the old man Nishan sighed, "For tens of thousands of years, countless monks have flocked there, fought there, lived there, and even gave birth to several secret families, they are loyal and reliable, full of blood, and have become stronger and more united in the constant fighting, if it weren't for them, I am afraid that those birdmen would have broken through the barrier and broken into the fairy world!" ”
"That place, where is it?" Lei Dong tried his best to suppress his emotions and asked with a deep breath.
"Eighty million miles away, one of the three great Jedi in the fairy world," the cloudy eyes of the old man Nishan flashed away, "There is no return to the valley!" ”
Lei Dong gasped, in the pamphlet that Song Tianxing gave him, the Valley of No Return is the most mysterious and terrifying place in the fairy world, no one knows what is there, but everyone knows that no one who enters the Valley of No Return can come back alive!
Unexpectedly, what the old man Nishan said turned out to be this place!
"But the people there prefer to call him—" Old Man Nishan's voice was low again, and his words were full of strange emotions, "Old Nest! ”
ps: I had a meeting for a day, and I had to be on duty at night, and if I owe another eight hundred, let's count one thousand. (To be continued.) )
