Changsheng: I can sell everything

Chapter 672 What is beyond the Heavenly Road?
"The Tianhe Sect has a Martial Saint, and the Haoran Sect has a Martial Saint."

Lao Gou pointed and said, "There is also a True Immortal in Wanxing Sect."

"There are 108 great sects in the world, and nine of them are called holy sects. It is because of these nine holy sects that each of them has at least one true immortal or martial saint!"

"As for the other upper sects, the ones with strong strength, such as Qionghua Pavilion, the Beichen Sword Immortal is very powerful. Although he is not a True Immortal, he is known as the number one person under the True Immortal and is a world-famous top sword immortal."

"Qionghua Pavilion is a second-tier sect among the 108 upper sects. There are not many such sects, only thirteen in total!"

In other words, the sects that possess top-level celestial combat power actually only account for thirteen places among the 108 top sects.

"There are also thirty-six senior sects, each with two or three ordinary celestial beings or martial arts masters."

"Finally, there are the other upper sects. They must have at least one person who has just entered the realm of celestial immortal, or has just become a martial arts master, in order to be listed as an upper sect!"

"The 108 great clans in the Nine Provinces are like 108 shining stars. They protect the imperial court and coexist with it, but they are also relatively independent and have their own heritage. Well, but…"

Lao Gou paused, and finally said, "But it's useless. Most of the masters of the sects have to go to the court. And generally speaking, there are more True Immortals and Martial Saints in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Firstly, it is extremely difficult for the sects to truly unite, and secondly, even if they unite, it is extremely difficult to defeat the court."

He then enumerated the court's top combat forces, saying, "There are two martial saints and two true immortals in charge of the four major demon gates of the court."

"Nine governors are assigned to the Nine Provinces, and each governor is at least a great scholar. If a great scholar holds an official seal and has the blessing of national fortune in his territory, his combat power will be greatly improved. Even if he may not be able to cross levels and defeat a true immortal, it is difficult for him to be killed by a true immortal martial saint."

"Every state and county has great scholars, city gods, lantern-hanging officials, and state troops. Each one is extremely difficult to deal with."

"And in the imperial court of the capital, every official above the third rank who holds an official seal has the fighting power of a great scholar. How many third-rank officials are there in the imperial court?"

"The old director of the Imperial Observatory is also a true immortal!"

"The City God of the Capital also has the fighting power of a True Immortal..." At this point, Lao Gou suddenly added, "Fairy, the City God of the Capital was the elder brother of Concubine Shu when he was alive. After his death, he was named the City God, and Concubine Shu was the biological mother of the Fourth Prince."

Song Ciwan nodded, but asked: "Now that Yuan Feng is dead and a new emperor is hard to come by, can the officials of the prefectures, including the third-rank officials in the capital, still maintain their previous fighting power?"

Lao Gou choked up. He was about to continue to talk about the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty. But now, he felt that the former power of the Dynasty had become a paper tiger that could only be admired from a distance, not appreciated.

He reached out to pull at his already sparse beard, pulled out a handful and rubbed it, laughing as he rubbed it: "Ah, they are all painted skins. Once the court falls, everyone will have to take a 30% discount. What's the point of this?"

Finally, Lao Gou came to the conclusion: "Fairy, no matter the sect or the court, no matter the kings or that useless prince, to the fairy, they are nothing but chickens and dogs! Fairy, just listen to them, don't care at all."

Song Ciwan smiled without saying anything. She did not argue with Lao Gou verbally, but in her heart she remembered every master in the world that Lao Gou had just mentioned.

What Lao Gou said, "Don't worry about it", may be suspected of flattery.

If Song Ciwan really believed it, it would go against his own behavioral habits.

Nothing else, just habitual caution.

In short, it's the same old saying, do things in a high-profile manner and be low-key in life. Even if he could kill his way through the nine states, Song Ciwan would not fail to do the necessary homework and be cautious.

She could hold the sword to make the sky fall, but she could bow her head and be with the dust.

Capsizing in a ditch is not an uncommon thing, and Song Ciwan always tries his best to reduce the possibility of capsizing in a ditch.

She then asked in detail about the famous skills, training methods, personalities, typical deeds, etc. of the True Immortals and Martial Saints of each sect. Lao Gou was indeed a know-it-all, and he could basically answer all these questions.

Although not perfect——

It is impossible to be perfect. After all, the information is about the True Immortal and Martial Saint. Even if it is the Rare Goods Pavilion, it is impossible to collect everything accurately.

After asking about the true immortals and martial saints in the human world, Song Ciwan asked about the demon race.

Lao Gou knew a lot about the demon race.

He then stretched out his skinny palm again, bent his fingers and counted: "The demon clan, leaving aside the ancient demons, each of the nine heavenly demon nations has a demon saint."

“The White Fox Demon Saint is in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, the Golden Lion Demon Saint is in the Lion Camel Kingdom, the Golden Winged Dapeng Demon Saint is in the Leiyin Kingdom, the Golden Crow Demon Saint is in the Jinwu Kingdom, the Deer Rat Demon Saint is in the Julu Kingdom, the Red Wolf Demon Saint is in the Xiaoyue Kingdom, the Blue Luan Demon Saint is in the Danzhu Kingdom, the Nine-Headed Demon Saint is in the Liujiang Kingdom, and the Six-Eared Demon Saint is in the White Ape Kingdom.”

"Besides, there is the Demon Saint Palace!"

"But the Demon Saint Palace now seems to be in name only..."

When Lao Gou said this, a mysterious expression appeared on his face. He leaned closer to Song Ciwan and whispered, "Fairy Song, I suspect that the demons have been invading the human border for many years, but they keep fighting and running away because the Demon Saint Palace cannot be established!"

"Legend has it that the ancient demon saints are all sleeping in the Demon Saint Palace. The ancient demon saints have not awakened. Now these demon saints all have their own thoughts. No one is willing to submit to anyone else. Everyone is afraid of being at a disadvantage. Even if they invade the border, they are only afraid of making extra efforts..."

"Fairy, how about this? Let's make a deal before the Demon Saint wakes up. You can take control of the Nine Provinces and then counterattack the demon clan..."

Lao Gou raised his hand and made a gesture of swinging a sword.

Hey, the old man's face became excited again.

Song Ciwan shook his head, and felt that there was no need to listen to any more.

She did not comment on what Lao Gou said, but suddenly asked, "Do you know what lies beyond that heavenly road, Brother Gou?"

Lao Gou was startled and asked, "What?"

Song Ciwan said: "The three Kunlun Immortals keep saying that they want to open a road to heaven. Daoist friend Gou, do you know what a road to heaven is?"

Lao Gou looked thoughtful and said hesitantly, "The Heavenly Road, as the name suggests, is... the road to ascend to the heavens?"

Song Ciwan asked: "What happens after the ascension? What happens then?"

Lao Gou thought Song Ciwan's question was a little strange, so he asked cautiously, "After ascending, isn't it the fairyland?"

Song Ciwan smiled and said, "Oh, the fairyland, Fellow Daoist Gou, what is the fairyland?"

Lao Gou said more carefully, "The immortals come and go without the mundane world, without worries, without time, without end. This must be... the immortal world, right?"

After saying this, he blushed again, tugging at his beard and laughing, "I am just guessing. None of us have seen the fairyland, so who knows what it is like?"

Song Ciwan only said: "If ascension means death, then saying there is no worldly affairs, no worries, no years, no end... seems to be appropriate."

Lao Gou was surprised: "What?"
