Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

Chapter 344 Great Zhou, Yinghai Continent

"Immortality Begins with Inheriting the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation": Explosive word-of-mouth and rave reviews!

After dealing with the teleportation array issue.

Li Ping, shield in hand and wielding the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, walked with Meng Wanjun along the dark passage for dozens of miles before a glimmer of light finally appeared, and the air became much fresher.

The two of them perked up and quickened their pace considerably.

A few moments later, the two emerged from the cave and stood on a protruding spot on the mountainside of a towering mountain that seemed to pierce the clouds.

Whoosh!

Li Ping flew into the air, his vast divine sense spreading over a radius of more than ten miles, but found that apart from some wild beasts, there were no other living beings.

Wow!

He launched the flying boat and beckoned Meng Wanjun to come aboard: "Let's find a local to find out where we are."

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly changed his expression and used his magic to move a large rock to fill the cave entrance. He then casually moved some soil and plants to cover the surface of the rock as a disguise.

In this way, it is not apparent from the surface that there is a cave at this location.

Li Ping noted down the location of the teleportation array, nodded, and smiled with satisfaction.

Then, he activated his divine sense, and the flying boat beneath his feet transformed into a dark silver streak of light and flew eastward.

Since they hadn't encountered any locals, he didn't know exactly where they were in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

His plan was to use the teleportation array as a center and explore 100,000 miles in all directions. As long as he encountered someone from the Great Zhou, he should be able to figure out where he was.

"Huh!"

After flying for less than a few thousand miles, Li Ping saw a wide river in his field of vision. This river flowed out from the mountains and rushed eastward, with its widest point exceeding a hundred miles.

Li Ping immediately abandoned his original plan and instead flew along the river.

Human beings cannot live, reproduce, or cultivate crops without water, so there are mostly human settlements along the banks of major rivers.

After flying more than 5,000 li along the river, Li Ping indeed saw a bustling city ahead, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

The airship also changed direction and landed towards the city.

Soon after, the two, dressed in local attire, followed the bustling crowd into the city.

As he walked, Li Ping also scanned the surrounding area with his divine sense.

He discovered that the city was actually a city of ordinary people, with ordinary people coming and going, and there was not a trace of cultivators at all.

The two went to a private room in a teahouse and ordered a pot of tea.

Then Li Ping calmly began to listen to the discussions of the people around him using his divine sense.

"If this cargo is successfully transported to Qing'an County, it will be enough for the brothers to have a prosperous New Year."

"Zhao Lao Er, I heard your youngest son has been diagnosed with spiritual roots?"

"Recently, a demonic beast has been causing trouble in the White Horse River. We hope that the immortal masters can slay it as soon as possible, otherwise we dare not set off again."

……

The noisy conversation reached Li Ping's ears, and a knowing look appeared in his eyes: "Qing'an County, number one."

Back in the Western Wilderness, he had already gained some understanding of the Great Zhou through the local chronicles and records of his experiences collected in the Secret Method Pavilion of the Hehuan Sect.

According to what he knows.

This vast region, encompassing the Great Zhou, the Western Wilderness, the Far North, the Ice Sea, and the East Sea, is known to cultivators as "Yinghai Continent." Yinghai Continent is surrounded by an endless sea, so vast that even Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to traverse.

However, at the end of the sea, there are actually other areas where human cultivators gather, including some cultivation communities that are even more prosperous than the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Legend has it that the Immortal Alliance controls the channels of communication with other regions.

Apart from the Great Zhou Dynasty, regions like the Western Wilderness either have no Nascent Soul cultivators at all, or at most only one or two Nascent Soul cultivators in charge.

As the most prosperous cultivation holy land in Yinghai Continent, the Great Zhou Dynasty has over a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, including those from the righteous, demonic, and Confucian paths, as well as cultivation families and independent cultivators.

The Immortal Alliance, composed of major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, actually rules the entire Yinghai Continent, excluding the sea area.

As for the Great Zhou royal family, they were only responsible for managing affairs in the mortal realm.

When it comes to matters concerning the survival of humanity, the decisions will still be made by those Nascent Soul stage old monsters within the Immortal Alliance.

Outside of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a feudal system was implemented, while within the country, a "prefecture-county system" was in effect, which divided the country into 1,008 prefectures, each with a vast territory comparable in size to the entire Western Wilderness.

Li Ping remembered that Qing'an County, which he had just heard about, should be a large county with a radius of one million li located in the central part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Qing'an County is not close to Lingxiao City," he muttered to himself.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has a vast territory and its resource output far surpasses that of the Western Wilderness. However, the number of cultivators is also ridiculously large, and any spiritual vein is already owned.

Furthermore, due to the constraints of the Immortal Alliance's rules, which prohibit arbitrarily killing people to seize spiritual lands, he naturally could not possibly try to steal a third-tier spiritual vein for cultivation.

Moreover, his short-term goal in coming to the Great Zhou was to find three spiritual materials, including the Golden Dew, while his long-term goal was to use a fourth-order spiritual pulse to strike the Nascent Soul.

Considering his freedom and flexibility, Li Ping did not intend to join any faction in the Great Zhou Dynasty. His plan was to go to Lingxiao City to cultivate as a rogue cultivator.

Lingxiao City is located on the coast of the East China Sea. There is a fourth-order spiritual vein underground, which was established by the three famous Nascent Soul cultivators known as the "Three Elders of Lingxiao".

In a record of observations within the Secret Pavilion of the Hehuan Sect, the Core Formation cultivator frankly stated: Lingxiao City is a true holy land for rogue cultivators, gathering almost half of the high-level rogue cultivators in the Great Zhou cultivation world, and its commerce is thriving, with almost no spiritual items that cannot be bought in this city.

Within Lingxiao City, third-tier spiritual veins can be rented for a fee of spirit stones. Even fourth-tier spiritual veins can be borrowed with the permission of one of the three elders of Lingxiao.

From any perspective, Li Ping believed that Lingxiao City was the most suitable place for his cultivation.

He had already made up his mind, but having just arrived in the Great Zhou, he was not in a hurry to go to Lingxiao City immediately.

After all, his understanding of the Great Zhou Dynasty came from various local chronicles and anecdotes.

What you learn from books is never as profound as the real experience you get from going through it yourself.

Anyway, with the Jade of the Spiritual Eye in his hand, even if the journey is a little slow, it won't delay his and Meng Wanjun's cultivation.

"Young Master, I have learned the language of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Meng Wanjun put down the jade slip and said with a smile.

From the moment she entered the teahouse's private room, she had been studying the language on the jade slip, using the powerful spiritual energy of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, coupled with her photographic memory.

In less than half an hour, she had mastered a language from scratch.

"Okay." Li Ping nodded slightly. "Then let's go now and take a look at Qing'an County first."

The territory of a prefecture is vast and boundless, and it is managed by two parallel systems: the government of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Demon Slaying Division of the Immortal Alliance.

However, cities like the ones they live in are generally self-governing.

Government offices and demon-slaying bureaus were only established at the county level.

If the city encounters a monster it cannot defeat, it can only seek help from the county-level Demon Slaying Division.

The county's Demon Slaying Division was only staffed by Foundation Establishment cultivators, which was too low a level for Li Ping to bother with.

He planned to go directly to the county town. The people in charge of the county's Demon Slaying Division were usually Core Formation cultivators, and the county town was also a trading place for the major immortal cultivation sects and families in the county.

He might even be able to trade for something good.
