Chapter 67: Dragon City
"Immortal?"

Mo Yanqiu turned his head slightly and also gazed at the wonderland of sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

They have been here for two weeks. If the immortal is still here, he would have noticed it... The little fire bird will take at least a few more years to grow, so there is no point in thinking about it now.

"Ha!"

Just as the two were lost in thought, the little Flame Bird suddenly woke up, turned over in Zhou Qingshan's hands, and pointed at its stomach.

"Are you hungry?"

Zhou Qingshan could now guess the little firebird's needs from its actions, so he used an essence on it without hesitation.

The little firebird's entire body was immediately enveloped by a red light. The red light gradually dissipated, and the little guy's body seemed to have expanded slightly.

When not converted into a spiritual weapon, this little guy can only fully absorb one essence every seven days.

Zhou Qingshan stared at the little firebird, its body almost as big as his palm.

It feels like something that is slowly developed.

If the little guy devours hundreds of thousands of essences, will it be able to surpass its previous size of a hundred feet? Will it continue to evolve then?

He suddenly became curious and asked, "Is Yan Zu's supreme divine weapon also a spiritual weapon? Can spiritual weapons continue to evolve?"

Mo Yanqiu nodded and said, "Of course spiritual weapons can evolve, but the limit of spiritual weapons depends on the first-generation weapon master. The supreme divine weapon... is the spiritual weapon that protects the country, or should be said to be the divine weapon that protects the human race. The demon gods in history are unclear, but the great demons do exist. They are the mortal enemy of the human race and a terrifying existence that can destroy an entire country."

"Without the help of divine soldiers and the support of the army, even the True Martial Grandmaster cannot defeat the powerful demon with magical powers!"

Zhou Qingshan was shocked: "Is there a Zhenwu Grandmaster guarding Black Cloud City?"

Black Cloud City is both a habitat and a strong pass. These small rural spiritual realms are in the protection area behind Black Cloud City. Other cities of Zhao State are eight hundred miles away from Xipanling.

They were on the edge of the State of Zhao, and outside the Longmen Pass of Heiyun City was the territory of the wild and foreign races.

"No, but don't worry, there is no big monster." Mo Yanqiu said.

"The human race is the strongest among all races. There are only a few alien races that can compete with the human race. However, the spiritual realm is rare. To open up the wilderness, we must fight with other races."

"Black Cloud City led the army to conquer the Long-eared Tribe, and only then did they own this medium-sized spiritual realm. Now it has bordered the Rabbit Tribe. There have been constant frictions over the years, and there may be a war. In addition to cultivating talents, the duties of Master Li and the Martial Arts Hall are to assist City Lord Xu and guard this new spiritual realm."

Most of the alien races in the wilderness have long lifespans, weak spirits but strong bodies, but they will also be eroded by the fog and also need to occupy the spiritual realm to survive.

The Long-Eared Tribe is a group of pointy-eared humanoid creatures that live in trees. They are born with emerald green eyes that can see through fog for a short period of time when activated. They are skilled in using bows and arrows, and most of the leaders of the tribes can perform forest magic.

Zhou Qingshan knew a little about this matter, because his father fought under General Xu for ten years and was able to barely occupy half of the spiritual realm here.

There are at least several million long-eared people, with more than a dozen vassal races under their command. In addition, the tribes are scattered, and with the help of wilderness fog and strange magic, they constantly block the army and harass the migrating farmers, causing heavy casualties among the human race.

Although General Xu received spiritual seed resources from the dynasty, they were only enough to barely feed 10,000 elite soldiers. He could only advance steadily step by step, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

There were complaints about this in various parts of the dynasty.

At this time, someone suggested spreading rumors to the long-eared tribe, saying that the human race only had 10,000 soldiers. If the major tribes could elect a king, unite, integrate the strength of the tribes and have 100,000 soldiers, they would be able to defeat the evil human race in one fell swoop.

This rumor spread widely in all the spiritual realms. The human race was terrified, fearing that the wild aliens would join forces to attack. They even sent alien envoys to persuade several powerful tribes of the Long Eared Clan to give up the attack and the two tribes would divide the land and rule over each other using the Sunset Mountains.

The long-eared people believed it.

And then... nothing more.

They united the tribes and the barbarians, gathered 100,000 warriors, and planned to attack the human race. They set up their battle array in the Sunset Mountains and fought a decisive battle with the human army. However, they underestimated the strength of Black Cloud City.

When the number of soldiers exceeds ten thousand, a qualitative change occurs. With the commander-in-chief in the army leading the battle formation, a thousand-foot-long black dragon fighting spirit is condensed, and the outcome of the battle is decided in one go!

In this crucial battle, the main force of the long-eared tribe was completely defeated, the royal court was directly breached, its king fell, young and middle-aged people were massacred, writings were burned, 100,000 tribesmen were taken captive, and the entire tribe was reduced to slavery.

Black Cloud City is the ancestral home of the Long Ears Clan. It is a medium-sized spiritual realm with the third-grade, top-quality spiritual species Jianmu.

After the war, the wilderness aliens who had managed to escape spread the legend that Black Cloud City was a horrible place inhabited by evil dragons.

It made foreigners terrified and children cried.

"Yanqiu, tell me in detail about the current situation in Black Cloud City and the situation in the Martial Arts Hall." Zhou Qingshan showed great interest in Mo Yanqiu's account of his experience in the Martial Arts Hall.

Mo Yanqiu also shared everything she knew without reservation:
"The overall strength of the demon race far exceeds that of the human race, mainly due to the existence of those great demons..."

"The demon race also has a way to cultivate good power - it's called Qi training, which allows them to directly breathe in and out spiritual energy to refine their bodies. Some demons are even gifted and can cultivate extraordinary skills that are comparable to spiritual weapons."

"Take the Rabbit Tribe for example. When they grow up, they are extremely strong. They are ten feet tall and can easily lift objects weighing a thousand pounds. The chiefs of the tribe can cultivate a golden body of a hundred feet tall and are good at overpowering others with their strength."

"Black Cloud City..."

……

As time passed, two hours passed in a flash.

Seeing that Mo Yanqiu was thirsty, Zhou Qingshan handed her a pot of tea.

In the next two days, Zhou Qingshan's life was both regular and fulfilling. His daily activities included fishing and martial arts. He also asked someone to make a simple wooden bow with three arrowheads made of fine iron, and practiced archery in his spare time.

Practice Thirty-Six Moves of the Flying Swallow Hand diligently. After taking the medicine every day, if it does not involve the transportation of qi and blood, you can barely practice it twice a day, each time for three hours.

After each practice, his skills would improve and new insights would emerge in his mind.

and.

He discovered another magical aspect of the [Skills] panel: his cultivation would never regress, and he would be forever convinced.

He was increasingly looking forward to the point where the progress would reach one hundred.

The rest of the rest time was spent with Mo Yanqiu, constantly asking various questions, and gradually gained a deeper understanding of the situation in Black Cloud City.

……

Mo Yanqiu spent the past two days carefully reading "Martial Saint's Heart Sutra" and found that it contained many prototypes of current martial arts. She speculated:

"The title of the Ten Supreme Martial Saints has not been recorded in the history of the Martial Arts Hall. According to the description in the book, he might be a Martial Saint from the 40,000-year gap in human history."

"It's a pity that this mental method does not have any traces of the inheritance of the superior true skills he created. Otherwise, if I could comprehend a little bit, I might be able to follow the path of the Martial Saint and find a way to the sky." She was quite regretful.

If the mental method contains traces of inheritance of the Martial Saint's supreme true skills, it is not something Zhou Qingshan can fish out now.

　Thanks to my book friends, I read what you read too, Broken Sword, 202006, and Man De for voting for me.

　　Thanks to Master Jiubian for the reward.
