The Situation in Zhongzhou
Gu Heng set off again and went to the Yunling Forest outside Yunling City.
The clinic is closed today, and he no longer has the intention to continue operating it. His cultivation function has been activated, and all he needs to do now is to concentrate on cultivation.
He has a lot of catching up to do.
After all, most of the people he knew were cultivators, especially top-notch ones like Jiang Lingyun. Others now thought he was a top master, but that was just their wrong thinking. It didn't mean they wouldn't notice problems in the future.
As long as Gu Heng fails to improve his cultivation, he will always feel a sense of crisis.
The system gave him an experience bar, so he directly used the most intuitive method to see how to fill it up.
If you have experience bar, you need to kill monsters.
If you want to fight monsters, the nearest place is Yunling Forest.
Gu Heng had only been here once, and had heard from the people in the south of the city many times that there were many monsters here, and that the Yunling Forest was very large, in fact, much larger than Yunling City.
The last time he came here, he just wanted to relax.
At that time, Qingfeng Baohang was still there, and they even hired people to kill Qin Yiyao and hurt her. Gu Heng really felt that he needed to change his mood, so he walked into the forest.
As a result, he was particularly lucky that time.
I haven't encountered any monsters.
But Gu Heng doesn't want this kind of luck this time. He has to encounter some monsters. Otherwise, how can the experience bar increase if he kills some ordinary wild beasts?
Gu Heng walked out of the city gate, went down along the avenue, then turned a small corner and headed towards the path leading to Yunling Forest.
Although the outermost part of Yunling Forest is not lively, one can still occasionally run into some woodcutters and hunters. However, they still warned Gu Heng that the forest has not been peaceful recently and he cannot go there.
Of course Gu Heng ignored it.
What he wants is unrest. If there are no monsters here, wouldn't his trip be in vain?
"This raw meat should be enough."
Gu Heng also specially prepared a lot of raw meat, which was quite fresh. He bought it from the butcher just now. The bloody smell of the meat was enough to attract some wild animals with a keen sense of smell...
With more wild beasts, monsters will naturally appear.
After walking for an hour and a half deep into the Yunling Forest, Gu Heng decided to put down some raw meat in the open space here and wait for the prey to come.
He didn't want to go any further, not because he was afraid, but if he couldn't get back to the clinic in time at night, Qin Yiyao would start making a fuss.
The time has been calculated. It is only morning now, so we can stay in the forest until the afternoon and return to the clinic on time before sunset... The arrangements are very clear.
He randomly found a piece of open space and threw out several pounds of raw meat. Then he chose the nearest tree, found a branch thick enough to sit on, leaned his back against the main trunk, and ate tea eggs and brown sugar buns, feeling very comfortable.
Then, he began to consider whether he should continue to stay in this place since he wanted to train Qin Yiyao...
Yunling City is too small.
It's so small that you can't find anything you want.
Moreover, ever since I met a person of Jiang Lingyun's level.
Gu Heng knew that in the eyes of these masters, Dongjiang, or the small Riyan Dynasty located on the edge of Dongjiang, was too inferior.
Even he could see it.
The Ri Yan Emperor of the Ri Yan Dynasty, a dignified ruler of a dynasty, is only in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
But the Zhongzhou Dynasty was a behemoth whose territory was almost equal to that of the Eastern Frontier, and the Emperor of Zhongzhou was at the Supreme Saint stage!
Look at this disparity.
If you stay here, you will definitely not achieve anything.
Of course, Gu Heng felt that it made no difference where he stayed. His way of cultivation might seem strange to others. After all, he was probably the only one in the world who had something like an "experience bar".
But Qin Yiyao is different.
If you make a fortune quietly in a small place like this, it is easy to miss some opportunities that you would never see here.
Not to mention, it might not even be possible to make a fortune here.Although it is not ugly to start from humble beginnings, Gu Heng still wants her to make a name for herself in some good place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery!
"…Looks like we have to move again."
Gu Heng held a half-eaten brown sugar bun in his mouth, and then took out the "Xuantian Star Map" from the system backpack.
This is the reward given by the system after helping Liu Yu deal with her inhuman fiancé.
Although it is a star map, Gu Heng feels that this thing can be used as a large map of the Xuantian Realm. There is probably only one such copy in the entire world. Although it is not large in length, it can be zoomed in or out at will, and all the mountains, rivers and geography can be seen clearly.
On the star map, the light red dot has also moved.
He was now in the northwest corner of the Yunling Forest, which was quite deep. Yunling City stood outside the forest.
"Well, if we're moving, let's see where it would be appropriate to move to."
After comparing on the star map, the Riyan Dynasty is really a small place. He can practice now. Qin Yiyao's progress is faster than his. The master and disciple can't continue to waste time here.
So Gu Heng turned his attention to Zhongzhou.
The land of Zhongzhou is actually quite chaotic and complicated...
Gu Heng had heard that although there was only one Zhongzhou Dynasty ruling the entire territory of Zhongzhou, the power of the Emperor was supreme and the emperor was majestic and awe-inspiring.
It seems that there is only the Zhongzhou Dynasty, but it is not so.
In the land of Zhongzhou, there are quite a few sects and clans!
They were attached to the Zhongzhou Dynasty and to show their loyalty, all they had to do was pay tribute every three years.
The reason for this situation is very simple. Even the royal family of Zhongzhou cannot fully control such a vast territory.
Therefore, the royal family of Zhongzhou simply delegated power and allowed various "countries within a country" to emerge. As a result, a large number of "ancestral states" appeared in such a vast territory.
These ancestral states also have rulers, people, and their own "national destiny."
Therefore, wars would break out between the clans, killing each other and grabbing resources to strengthen themselves. The Zhongzhou Dynasty was also happy to see such a "grand scene"!
Anyway, let these guys fight among themselves, no matter how they fight, no matter how much blood is shed. Because these clans are no threat at all, the Zhongzhou Dynasty occupies the absolute throne, and no one can snatch it.
Strictly speaking, the territorial expansion of the Zong Kingdom was carried out on the territory of the Zhongzhou Dynasty, so nothing could escape the eyes of the Zhongzhou Dynasty.
Once a country develops to a certain level, it will be prohibited from further expansion.
Then, be a good dog of the Zhongzhou Dynasty.
Disobedient...
It is not uncommon for an entire clan country to be wiped out overnight.
Gu Heng could understand these operations.
The Zhongzhou Dynasty "raises poisonous insects" on its own territory. They raise dozens of them and let these poisonous insects fight each other. In the end, there will always be a few big poisonous insects that stand out.
Then, these big poisonous insects either stop growing or are crushed to death.
Because the Zhongzhou Dynasty would never allow the poison they raised to turn against them.
And the breeding of Gu will not stop. As long as some Gu worms die, new ones will appear...
This method is very direct. Anyone who is not a fool can see what tricks the Zhongzhou Dynasty is playing.
Therefore, although the Zhongzhou Dynasty seems to have strict laws and supreme imperial power, this place is definitely the most chaotic in the entire Xuantian Realm.
Gu Heng felt that he could take advantage of this.
The land of Zhongzhou is vast and is home to a mix of good and bad people, but precisely because this kind of place is so chaotic, there is definitely no shortage of heroes and capable people!
Going to Zhongzhou is definitely much better than staying in the Riyan Dynasty.
after all.
Chaos is a ladder.
"Go back and tell her that Zhongzhou is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, hehe..."
Thinking of this, Gu Heng took another bite of the brown sugar bun.
