Chapter 332: The Current Political Climate
“The Long Clan might have a strong root and is capable of controlling the world with the eight prefectural governors and eighteen heavenly marquis who are all dragons and phoenixes among men, but remember, the astronomical phenomenon of the dragons devouring the sky has appeared. The Long Clan will definitely be attacked by the heroes of the world. It might look strong now, but it will be facing the biggest danger is has faced yet. Just one misstep and the whole boat will capsize.” Yiye spoke without any apprehension.
The maids once again brought over a jade tray with two hot cups of wine for the two. The two maids seemed to be mute and deaf as if they couldn’t hear the conversation at all.
“The heretical schools are also powerful and aggressive with their debut this time. Their younger generation can suppress the heroes from the pagoda. After one thousand years of accumulation, who knows just how strong their aces are now? This must be another leading contender, right?” Feiyun brought forth another faction.
“Not necessarily.” Yiye declared in a lofty manner: “The heretical schools are divided into one temple, two mountains, and three realms. The one temple is naturally Senluo, the two mountains are Mount Potala and Mount Yin Yang, and the three realms are the Nether Realm, the Dark Realm, and the Lifeless Realm.”
“The heretical schools you are talking about is just the Senluo Temple. Before it was broken up, this was indeed the strongest heretical sect and was able to suppress Mount Potala and Mount Yin Yang. However, two thousand years ago, its temple lord, the Beacon King, disappeared mysteriously. In just two hundred years, there were thirteen uprisings within the temple with blood running like rivers each time. Its power was gravely sapped each uprising and, in the end, it was divided into the ten halls. Right now, any one of its halls can’t even compare to the three realms, let alone the two mountains!”
Yiye drank another cup before continuing: “However, after one thousand years of recuperation, the ten halls must have recovered some of their strength. If a character like the Beacon King appears again to unite the ten halls, it will become a strong contender.”
So the heretical side turned out to be quite complicated!
The Senluo Temple used to be the top sect and almost unified all of the heretical schools. Their twelve great techniques were renowned across the world. It really wasn’t strange for Lu Liwei to be sent to the temple for training.
“Two thousand years ago, the empress was so mighty that all heroes bowed down before her. Only the Beacon King could contend against her. However, he came out one hundred years earlier. If the two were born in the same era, they most likely would have been great rivals. It would be difficult for a character like him to appear again.” Feiyun had read about the Beacon King in some old books before. Eighty years after the death of the empress, the Beacon King disappeared mysteriously as well. Only his invincible legends were left behind.
Feiyun asked: “Then Mount Potala and Mount Yin Yang can be considered as leading contenders?”
Dongfang Yiye shook his head again: “Mount Potala has the three different entities beneath it, so you do have to admit that it is quite frightening. However, that person up there has great ties to the royal family. I’m afraid when the chaos comes, Mount Potala won’t try to profit from it.”
“As for Mount Yin Yang, that’s the entrance to the Yin and Yang Worlds. The three stranges and three evils from the two worlds will be under Mount Yin Yang’s jurisdiction after coming into the cultivation world. If the Yin and Yang Worlds stay normal during the chaos, Mount Yin Yang won’t become involved in this competition.”
