"Go on, what is your cultivation level? What are the cultivation levels of the other elders, patriarchs, and elderly people in your Luo family?"Xian Hua urged calmly, his eyes fixed on the old man's expression, while his peripheral vision paid attention to the ancient lamp burning with purple flames in his hand. There was no sign of extinguishing or distortion, which was enough to prove that what this person said was most likely true. "I am also a warrior, at the peak of the True First Realm, and I am still a short distance away from the Divine Bridge." "If you step onto the Divine Bridge, you're not far from the Dao Lord realm. In the family, all the elders except me and Old Five are at the middle and late stages of the True One realm." Luo Fei sighed quietly: "The head of the family is in the middle stage of the Divine Bridge. He is the most experienced and most powerful elder in the clan. He is at the peak of the Divine Bridge, also known as the Half-Step Dao Lord. Unfortunately, his luck is a little thin, and he was unable to break through the Ten Thousand Transformations and prosper with his ancestors." Hearing this, Jiang Mo and Hua Xian both thought that the Half-Step Dao Lord realm in the outside world grew up in an environment with richer spiritual energy and more complete laws. Compared with the local Dao Lord, their strength is probably not weaker, and may even be stronger. In today's world, such a Luo family could become a hidden sect, but in the Daye Dynasty, it is only one of the four major families in Cangwu County among the twelve counties. If the families of marquises and generals in other counties are all at this level, the total number of Half-Step Dao Lords would most likely exceed a hundred! This does not include the so-called four great kings, the national master, the emperor, and other older beings. If what Luo Fei said was true, and the empire's hegemony over the past five thousand years was immortal, then it was not impossible that their foundation and power combined would be more exaggerated than that of all the sects in the entire Tianyuan. Anyway, Xian Hua and Jiang Mo do not think that the warriors of the Wan Tui Realm of the Daye Dynasty, or the Dao Jun of the Xianfu Realm, are merely comparable to the level of the local Dao Jun and the Master. They may be ten or even dozens of times stronger, which is very exaggerated! In the brief half second of their contemplation, Luo Fei continued to speak without reservation about his experiences and life insights. "A county can be as small as 20,000 miles, or as large as 50,000 miles. Our Cangwu County is pretty standard. Among the four major families, the powerhouses of other families are similar to us, but the gap is not that big."

"The four kings and the emperor are all warriors at the Wanluo realm. No one knows the specific depth of their cultivation, but they have been fighting for a long time, and each time they have won and lost. However, they are unable to fight against the national master and the officials he has won over. It is said that more than a hundred years ago, before the death of the previous emperor, the national master had already reached the peak of the Wanluo realm. After so many years, it is possible that he has broken through the bottleneck and rushed to the flawless realm in one fell swoop." "Then have you ever seen the so-called national teacher?" Xian Hua questioned him. "." The old man opened his mouth to speak, as if he had thought of something, paused for a moment, and finally shook his head with difficulty, giving an incredible answer. There were only two options: "I have seen it" and "I haven't seen it", but Luo Fei said, "I don't know." "?" "?" As soon as these words were spoken, not only Jiang Mo and Xian Hua became interested, seeing interesting signs, but even the several quasi-king-level warriors who followed the old man into Tianyuan were surprised. "The Imperial Master is extremely powerful. It is possible that I have met him with the Patriarch, but it is also possible that this memory has been erased." "Many people who came to the capital to pay homage to the emperor remembered the true appearance of the emperor and the four great kings, but they could not remember anything about the imperial teacher, not even the slightest information about his appearance." "The Imperial Master must have been present at many important events of the imperial dynasty. Perhaps the only ones whose memories are not affected are the officials, generals, marshals, the four great kings, and the emperor. People like us who are at a lower level will naturally be targeted and have the relevant memories blanked out." Hearing this, Xian Hua's eyes flashed with an intriguing light. He smiled gently, pointed at Jiang Mo in front of Luo Fei, and asked for comparison. "Then let's not talk about the Imperial Master. You said you have met the Emperor, and now you have met my friend. Your vision is not low either. You probably have an estimated standard. Who do you think is stronger?" At the same time, several masters of the Luo family and those young talents all concentrated their attention, pricked up their ears, felt extremely nervous, and expected the almost suffocating answer to appear. "My cultivation is average, like a frog at the bottom of a well trying to see the sky. I dare not make rash comments on the strength of the two. However, if I have to choose, I would still say this fellow Taoist is slightly better." Luo Fei bowed slightly, looking cautious. He said this not to curry favor or beg for a chance to live, but simply to share his speculation. As for whether it is accurate or not, that is hard to say. After all, the emperor and the Taoist master in front of him are far above his level of cultivation. He can only choose one of the two like an illiterate throwing dice to answer a paper. "!!!"

However, his statement brought great shock to all the family members who were on the trip. The local Taoist Lord was suspected to be more powerful than the emperor? ! No matter how much they didn't believe it, they couldn't find any reason to refute it. Compared to their vision, Elder Luo Fei's vision was a hundred times better. Coming back to their senses, everyone felt only fear and confusion. Falling into the hands of such a powerful man, could they really walk out of this gloomy prison and see the light of day again? After learning the answer, Xian Hua felt a little more at ease. If Jiang Mo is stronger than the emperor, and given some time to grow, when Tianyuan connects with the outside world in the future, he may be able to fight against those powerful enemies from all over the world. "I'm curious, are you still loyal to your emperor? To be frank, has your Luo family's loyalty to the emperor wavered?" "." Luo Fei was silent for a few breaths before he exhaled a breath of foul air and said helplessly: "Individuals' loyalty to the emperor and families' loyalty to the emperor are all for the sake of the family's continuation, reproduction, and prosperity." The answer was self-evident, and Xianhua did not continue to embarrass him by removing the last layer of fig leaf, and continued to ask about the secrets he wanted to know more. "Among the three counties that the emperor controls, what is the origin of Feixian County? What is the current situation there?" "Feixian County?" "Don't let me think about it." Luo Fei pretended to be in deep thought, and soon spoke: "I'm not very clear about what's going on there. Among the twelve counties of Daye, Di County is in the middle, Cangwu County is at the southernmost end, and Feixian County is at the northernmost end. There are other counties in between. The two are tens of thousands of miles apart. I've only heard about it vaguely." "After the death of the first emperor, in the 623rd year of the continuation of the empire, there was a serious civil strife. The young emperor who was designated to inherit the throne was assassinated before he ascended the throne and died in Kyoto. Since then, the five great kings in the imperial dynasty have successively risen up. Two kings have established themselves, and three kings have gone to the imperial county to fight for the throne." "It was at that juncture that a cultivator who walked out of the sky abyss saw that the territory he passed by was in flames and demons were in chaos. He shattered the sunken mountains and rivers with a sword and went straight to the palace of the nearest county, and reached an unknown agreement with the Yu King who ruled there." "In the following sixty years, King Yu was supported by this man to become the emperor. His military exploits were the most dazzling. He killed three kings in the underworld and imprisoned one king in the sky. He swept away all obstacles that hindered the Emperor Yu's ascension to the throne. He was later posthumously named 'Flying Immortal Heavenly Venerable' and was granted a fiefdom." "In the second year after Emperor Yu ascended the throne, half of the two territories of Zhui Ri County and Han Yue County were designated as the new Fei Xian County, which was ranked among the four middle counties and enjoyed the blessing and protection of the imperial dynasty." "After that, statues of the God of the Flying Immortals were cast in the twelve counties, enjoying millions of incense offerings. At its peak, its influence was almost as strong as that of the second emperor of the imperial dynasty, the World-Suppressing Feather Emperor." Luo Fei said this with a sigh, his expression unable to hide his awe: "In the known history of the Daye Dynasty, this is the first powerful person to walk out of the Heavenly Abyss. He is a true peerless Taoist. But I don't know whether there are creatures from the Heavenly Abyss that have walked out from other forces outside the Dynasty." "It is because of his existence that emperors of later generations all believed that cultivators who were able to walk out of the abyss were the strongest among the strong and were worth winning over." "This tradition continued until the 2,800th year of the Imperial Dynasty, when a second monk appeared. He was noticed by the fifth emperor of the Imperial Dynasty, Emperor Zhuri Zhan, who immediately gave him preferential treatment. Because the war was intense at that time, the emperor even went to that border area in person to talk to that person." "As a result, the emperor was very disappointed. He was a cultivator whose cultivation level was far from that of a Taoist master. He was teleported to the outside world by chance due to some reasons that he himself could not understand. He was far inferior to Feixian Tianzun." "After that, over the past 2,200 years, there have been a few scattered members of the Tianyuan race, but without exception, they were all relatively weak cultivators." "The emperors also have suspicions. The creatures that come out of the Abyss are divided into two types: active and passive. It is obvious that Feixian Tianzun is the former." "However, Feixian Tianzun lived for a short time, only two hundred years, and then he passed away without leaving any descendants or sects. The county was later taken over by Yu Huang. During the reign of the third emperor, Feixian Tianzun's statue still stood in the twelve counties, attracting a huge amount of incense. In the later years of the third emperor, the statues in the twelve counties were all demolished, because the emperor wanted to absorb the imperial dynasty's luck and Ziming's incense, and strive for a higher realm to prolong his life."

Xianhua was surprised that the martial arts masters from the outside world were actually similar to their local Taoist masters and masters. "Correct." "They are basically in the range of 600-800. The first emperor was the strongest, so he broke through the limit of 812 years, but he also stopped at the age of ." Luo Fei said this and spread his hands: "Afterwards, Feixian County was garrisoned by emperors in all dynasties. It is rumored that in that territory, there are treasures left by Feixian Tianzun, which were given to the destined people."

"Treasure? What is it?" Jiang Mo and Xian Hua have basically concluded that the Feixian Taoist of that year did go out once, and was later known as Feixian Tianzun. The time of their sitting and passing away and their appearance is completely consistent. "Body of faith." Luo Fei's face was filled with awe when he uttered these three words. "That is a body of faith that Feixian Tianzun forged with the power of the twelve counties' incense offerings. It is equal to his original body. It is extremely terrifying, but it has never appeared. Even though the county had fallen due to civil strife in history and was snatched from the emperor by several kings, a fierce war broke out, blood flowed for thousands of miles, and countless people died and injured, Feixian Tianzun's body of faith has never appeared." "Then why do you believe in His existence so firmly?" Jiang Mo asked with a smile. "Because that was the last words of the second generation Yu Huang, which mentioned the existence of this body of faith. The young talents of the Wang Emperor Dynasty went to Feixian County to try their luck at becoming an immortal, but there was no specific succession ceremony. We all know that He exists, but we cannot get His recognition." "Perhaps that body of faith was not prepared for the people of the Empire. It was just our wishful thinking. Otherwise, there wouldn't be no news for more than four thousand years. People would rush to it like moths to a flame, but it would be meaningless." "." Xian Hua remained silent. The faith body cultivated by the Feixian Sect was an extremely pure body of power. It had no side effects and would not give rise to any intelligence. It was no exaggeration to say that it had refined itself into a weapon that could be used at any time. And such weapons can be shared! Theoretically, after the death of each generation of the Master of the Feixian Sect, the faith bodies they left behind can be controlled by the younger generations. However, the reason why it has never been used is that basically every generation of masters is slightly better than the previous ones, and the worst is also on par with the previous ones. In addition, there is no threat from external enemies, and the many faiths sleeping in the Feixian Forbidden Land have been covered in dust for three or four thousand years and have never had the opportunity to be used. After hearing this news, Xianhua's worries eased a little. If the faith body of Master Feixian really exists, then when the boundary wall disappears in the future, we will have more confidence to stand firm. "Logically speaking, Feixian Tianzun has made tremendous contributions to your dynasty by quelling unrest and ending division. Yuhuang also built statues of him in various places. Could it be that his descendants have ignored his kindness in order to strive for a higher realm?" "That's not the case. Your Excellency has misunderstood." Luo Fei gave a new explanation and said: "If they were descendants of Yu Huang, they would definitely not tear down the statue of Feixian Tianzun. However, the First Emperor of our dynasty left a legacy that, except for the second Shaodi designated by him, all future emperors must be selected from the families of princes, officials, and generals." "In general, Daye values ​​military power, and military force has supreme say. In order to prevent the royal family from becoming complacent and losing the country, the First Emperor set up this legacy. In theory, anyone who is a citizen of Daye is eligible to run for the throne, provided that they have strong enough fists." "However, over the past five thousand years, the throne has always been passed down among the royal family. Either the direct bloodline of the emperor or the descendants of the monarch, it basically will not fall into the families of the prime minister, the national teacher, the officials, the generals, and the marshals." "The dynasty has accumulated a lot of resources for the disciples of the royal family to practice. They have been in a high position since the beginning, with the best teachers, the best magic weapons, and the best skills. The geniuses from all over the three continents and twelve counties cannot compete with them." "The only ones who can fight against the royal family are the royal family. In the year after the death of the Feather Emperor, the affairs of state were handled by the kings and state masters of various places. In the second year, the descendants of the Feather Emperor lost to the third generation emperor in the final of the succession election." "And the third emperor's own son was unable to continue his father's legend. He was defeated by the son of another king from the border." "The way of inheritance has been like this since ancient times and has never changed, because no emperor of any generation can live forever. After their death, if the descendants are not virtuous and still sit on the throne, it will only lead to the decline of the dynasty." (End of this chapter)
