Chapter 60 Various Countries and Factions
"I don't know what the world is like now, but let me tell you about the countries and sects from 20 years ago."
Yun Dan sat there quietly, listening to Leng Xiyue talk.
As far as I know, this region is divided into four major seas and eight major kingdoms.
These four seas refer to the East China Sea, the South China Sea, the West China Sea, and the North China Sea. Each country has countless islands of various sizes.
As for the Eight Kingdoms, there is a Gou tribe in the northeast. Although their country is not large, each of them is very powerful. One of them can fight as hard as three people from the Central Plains.
The Gou tribe has only one sect, called the Divine Journey Sect.
The sect leader was a master of the Middle Yuan Realm 20 years ago. It is said that the sect has 108 disciples and countless followers.
Next is Gu Xuanchao, located in the north, a vast territory that connects the North Sea to the East Sea.
The Abyss where we are now is the territory of the Gu Xuan Dynasty.
The people of the Gu Xuan Dynasty are also very warlike, and their fighting strength is incredibly strong.
Gu Xuanchao has two factions. One is called Zhanlong Academy. The academy's leader was a master of the Zhongyuan Realm 20 years ago, and the number of disciples in the academy is countless.
There is another temple called Luohan Temple, which also has countless disciples, and they are basically neutral.
Further down lies the territory of the Ling Kingdom, a small to medium-sized country in the Central Plains.
The King of Ling Kingdom did not declare himself emperor, and it is unknown why.
Because of the war between the five kingdoms more than 50 years ago, the Ling Kingdom suffered a Pyrrhic victory, reducing its territory from 12 cities to 8.
Thirty years later, Ling Kingdom was once again embroiled in internal strife, and Qin and Gu Xuanchao occupied three of its cities, leaving it with only five cities.
The old King Ling was probably thinking of focusing on defense at that time, and spent the last few decades conserving his strength.
Your Fengdang Town in Fengyuan County is located in the southern part of Ling State, bordering Qin State.
Aside from the imperial court, Ling Kingdom only has one sect called Taoyu Sect, whose disciples primarily practice swordsmanship.
I've heard that there's an island that's their secret training ground.
To the south was the Qin state, the largest of the eight states, with the largest population and the most expansive territory.
The emperor's surname was Zhao, and his given name was Ying. To Leng, Zhao Ying was also an ambitious man.
I heard rumors about him saying he wanted to unify all the countries when I was still alive, but I don't know how far he's progressed now.
The Qin state was located in the southeastern region and had five major sects and one organization: the Beggars' Sect, Shaolin Temple, Demon Suppression Palace, Senluo Tower, and Biyu Nunnery.
The Beggars' Sect has many members, and its leader is a master of the Middle Yuan Realm.
There are countless Shaolin disciples, but they generally don't get involved in other matters and just stay within their own little world.
The master of the Demon Suppression Palace is also a master of the Middle Yuan Realm. They rarely travel around the martial world unless their disciples come out to train.
The master of Senluo Tower is a mid-level expert who sells information. As long as you have money, there is nothing they cannot do.
Biyu Nunnery is a nunnery where all inner disciples are women, while only outer disciples are male.
These male disciples were all rescued or adopted and raised during difficult times when they were young.
One organization is called Shadow, under the jurisdiction of Qin Ting. No one knows who the master of Shadow is, because he is elusive, appearing only as a different person each time.
Speaking of the South, one cannot help but mention a fallen sect.
It is located on a mysterious southern island. It is said that three hundred years ago, a disciple of this sect reached the Mahayana realm.
He is also the only person in the past three hundred years to have reached this level.
Legend has it that the woman he cherished was mistakenly killed by him for some reason, and in the end, heartbroken, he disappeared from the martial world with that woman.
Just take this as a story and let's get back to the power dynamics of different countries.
To the left of Qin was the Xia Dynasty, which was also a small to medium-sized state, located in the area bordering the Western Sea and the South China Sea.
There are three major factions: the White Bone Temple, the Poisonous Yin Sect, and the Shadow Palace. All of them are masters of poison or conspiracy.
The disciples of the White Bone Temple practiced the Hehuan Gong, which involved absorbing yin to replenish yang and absorbing yang to replenish yin.
Anyone they set their sights on, regardless of gender, would be captured and forced to practice martial arts.
The Poisonous Yin Sect, as its name suggests, consists of masters of poison. They can cure diseases and kill people, and it is said that they can even save the dead and heal bones.
The sect leader's martial arts level is at the Lesser Yuan Realm, but his lightness skill is extremely fast, and once he uses his poison techniques, they are impossible to defend against.
The Shadow Palace is primarily focused on assassinations, similar to the Qin Dynasty's imperial secret police. The Shadow Palace Master is a mid-level expert.
The neighboring country of the Xia Dynasty was the Xian Dynasty, whose territory was about the same size as that of the Ling Kingdom.
There are two factions. One faction is called Flower Sea Palace, located on an island in North Korea. The palace master is a master of the Middle Yuan Realm.
Almost all the disciples were skilled in illusion techniques and had high levels of martial arts skills.
If anyone's willpower is even slightly weaker, they will be completely bewitched by their illusions, making it truly impossible to guard against.
There is another sect called the Thousand Mountains Sect. The sect leader is a master of the Lesser Yuan Realm, and the sect has many disciples.
However, most of their disciples are the kind of people who look down on others and always think they are superior to others.
Northwest of the Joseon Dynasty lies the outer border, where many merchants do business, and the court doesn't interfere. As long as no one kills indiscriminately in the outer border, anyone can go there.
There are two sects outside the realm. One is the Blazing Sun Sect, whose leader is a master of the Lesser Yuan Realm.
His mastery of the Blazing Sun Palm technique was truly superb, and he had many disciples who helped the imperial court maintain order in the outer regions.
The other one is called Wuxiang Temple, where the abbot is a master of the Middle Yuan Realm, and I heard that there is also an elder of the Great Yuan Realm who is in charge there.
Merchants traveling to other regions would often visit Wuxiang Temple to offer incense or pay a visit.
The outer region is adjacent to the Tianshan Mountains, and it is very difficult to ascend to the Tianshan Mountains without reaching the Great Yuan Realm.
The last country is Sichao, and Leng is from Sichao. Sichao's power ranks among the top three of all countries.
The Si Dynasty has four factions: the Wind and Rain Faction, the True Dragon Workshop, the Seven Star Academy, and the Medicine King Valley.
The swordsmanship of the Fenglan Sect is incredibly agile, their lightness skill is also very impressive, their swordsmanship is fast and ruthless, and their movement is incredibly nimble.
The members of the Fenglan Sect place great emphasis on personal cultivation and swordsmanship, striving for the ultimate in swordsmanship.
They are usually very independent and free-spirited, and no one can control them.
The leader of the Fenglan Sect is also a master of the Middle Yuan Realm.
The True Dragon Pavilion is a group that trains both strength and defense.
Zhenlongfang emphasizes inheritance and orthodoxy, has strict sect rules, and its disciples have a high degree of loyalty to the sect.
They are usually dignified and domineering, and are one of the important forces of the Si Dynasty.
The Seven Star Academy is an institution dedicated to the study of celestial phenomena. Its disciples observe the stars to comprehend the principles of heaven and earth, and utilize the Seven Star Techniques for combat and healing.
The Seven Star Academy emphasizes the transmission of knowledge and academic research, and has many scholars and wise men within its ranks.
They typically possess intelligent and calm minds, and are adept at analyzing and solving problems.
The headmaster of the Seven Star Academy is a mid-level expert. Besides the headmaster, there are six other academy masters, two of whom are mid-level experts and four of whom are minor experts.
The last one is Medicine King Valley, a sect that focuses on medicine and alchemy.
The disciples are skilled in medicine and can treat various injuries and illnesses. They are also adept at refining elixirs to enhance their own strength.
The disciples of Medicine King Valley emphasize medical ethics and humanitarianism. The outer disciples of the sect usually travel around to practice medicine and save lives.
They usually have kind and compassionate hearts and are deeply respected and loved by people.
Leng Xiyue: "Xiao Yundan, what I'm telling you is all from more than 20 years ago. I have no idea how the outside world has changed since then."
Oh, and there's also the Miao ethnic group. The Miao people lived between the four states of Qin, Xia, Xian, and Si.
Although they live deep in the mountains, the Miao people all know Gu magic, which is similar to poison magic.
But poison techniques can't be controlled, while Gu techniques can be controlled; they can make you live or die at will.
However, they rarely operate in the martial arts world, and it is very difficult to encounter them.
"Oh, I see. I'm a little confused. There are so many sects and countries."
Yun Dan was indeed a little confused. There were so many countries, and each country had its own sect. She could only learn about them gradually in the future.
"You little Yun Dan, I told you you were smart, but you're acting all dull right now."
"You're not exactly smart, yet you managed to create such a top-tier divine skill. I, Leng, don't even know what to say to you..."
Leng Xiyue laughed and scolded Yun Dan helplessly.
"Actually, no matter what happens outside, Leng has already come to terms with it."
"It's just so tough for you. Trying to jump up from this bottomless abyss using your light-footed skills is incredibly difficult."
