After sorting out his gains, Ye Chen instantly felt that his trip to the Northwest Continent was worthwhile.
Although there weren't any advanced items like Heavenly Grade Martial Arts, this time, not only did they obtain two kinds of strange fire, but they also gathered several gifted and talented characters, and also acquired a vast collection that enriched the Ye family's heritage...
All of this can only be described in two words -
Perfect!
I glanced at the mountains behind me...
If what is written in the original book is correct, the inner courtyard of Canaan College should be somewhere among these mountains.
Unfortunately, although there is the Fallen Heart Flame and the future Dragon Emperor Zi Yan there, now is not a good opportunity for him to contact them, so Ye Chen did not force it, but chose to leave directly and embarked on the journey back to Zhongzhou.
Tianya City is located in a mountain range called Tianqing, thousands of miles away from the Black Horn Region. As the only city within a thousand miles with a space wormhole leading to Zhongzhou, Tianya City is also the most prosperous city within this thousand miles.
Of course, Ye Chen, who had read the original novel, knew very well that the space wormhole in Tianya City was actually not as safe as the space wormhole in Luoyun Imperial Capital...
But if you want to go from the Black Horn Region to the Luoyun Empire, the distance is more than ten thousand miles. It is completely unnecessary to take such a long detour and pass through several huge empires.
Besides, it's still about ten years before Xiao Yan and his companions head to Zhongzhou in the original novel, so the space wormhole in Tianya City should still be relatively stable...
At the speed of the Giant Winged Eagle, it would take at least half a month to reach Tianya City in the Tianqing Mountains from the Black Horn Region. However, Ye Chen didn't care about it. After all, they had already spent more than a month on the journey just by flying, so he didn't mind adding another ten days or half a month.
During this flight, Ye Chen also found an opportunity to give Queen Medusa and the other girls a brief introduction to the situation in Zhongzhou, especially the Dan Domain and the Ye family. These are the places where they will live for many years in the future, so naturally they need to have a basic understanding of them.
"Within Zhongzhou, the real forces can be roughly divided into one palace and one tower, two sects and three valleys, and four square pavilions." Ye Chen said.
"One of these towers is the Dan Tower, which is also the holy land of all alchemists in the entire continent. It is the most powerful alchemist organization and one of the two top forces on the continent.
The Dan Domain where my Ye family is located is the Dan Tower's sphere of influence. My Ye family is also one of the five major families in the Dan Domain recognized by the Dan Tower!
This sentence meant nothing to Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, because they had no idea what the so-called Danta or the Five Great Clans were. They just knew they were powerful...
But Queen Medusa was a little shocked... She originally thought that the Ye family was just a powerful alchemist family, but she didn't expect that they were one of the five major families in the Dan domain, a terrifying existence backed by a behemoth like the Dan Tower!
However, after understanding this, Queen Medusa felt somewhat relieved that her choice was not wrong.
With such a large force as her backing, her safety in Zhongzhou would be guaranteed. Even if her identity were exposed in the future, she wouldn't have to worry about any ignorant people coveting her...
Although this idea is helpless, it is a very realistic problem!
The experiences of more than one Medusa Queen have told the Snake People that Zhongzhou is a truly dangerous place!
The reason Yue Mei always imagined human men to be so despicable wasn't just because of her prejudice...
"One palace, one tower, two sects, three valleys, and four square pavilions. Apart from Dan Tower, what other forces are there? And which palace is this 'one palace'? How can it be ranked before Dan Tower?" Queen Medusa asked with a look of curiosity.
"The two sects are Tianming Sect and Hua Sect. These two sects also have extremely strong influence in Zhongzhou. There are many powerful people in the sect. Although they are not as good as Danta and Soul Palace, they are also existences that cannot be underestimated; as for the three valleys, they are Glacier Valley, Sound Valley and Fenyan Valley. As for Xingyun Pavilion, Wanjian Pavilion, Huangquan Pavilion and Fenglei Pavilion, they are also called Four-sided Pavilions because their directions are exactly the four corners standing in Zhongzhou." Ye Chen introduced patiently.
"The strength of these forces decreases in order. The Second Sect is the strongest, second only to the One Palace and One Pagoda. As for the Three Valleys, they are much weaker, and the Four Square Pavilion is even weaker. They can only be regarded as the top among the first-class forces in Zhongzhou."
After saying that, Ye Chen gave another reminder, saying: "Although I said they are inferior, but even in the Sifang Pavilion, every faction has at least a Dou Zun with a two-star cultivation base, so they should not be underestimated. Caidie, you must pay attention."
When one's strength reaches the Dou Zun level, he already belongs to a completely different world from other people. So after hearing Ye Chen's reminder, Queen Medusa nodded solemnly and remembered it firmly in her heart.
Although the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python was an ancient magical beast comparable to a Dou Sheng, that was something that could only be achieved after it had fully grown. If its identity was exposed now, it would only attract the covetousness of the outside world!
"As for the last 'one palace', it refers to the Soul Palace!
The Soul Palace is extremely mysterious in Zhongzhou. It's difficult for ordinary people to encounter anyone from the Soul Palace, let alone its headquarters. Even some of its branches are rarely known. However, even so, the Soul Palace is still as famous as the Danta, which shows how terrifying its hidden power is.
Ye Chen did not reveal too much about the Soul Palace. After all, given the current situation, no matter how powerful the Soul Palace is, it has nothing to do with them.
Although the Soul Palace and Dan Tower are incompatible, in the Dan Realm, even the Soul Palace does not dare to be too presumptuous.
Time passed quickly as everyone talked.
On this day, shortly after the sun jumped out of the horizon, the three Yao brothers who were responsible for leading the way with the map in front cheered in surprise.
"Master, we have arrived at the Tianqing Mountains!"
The exclamation instantly perked up the bored women on the giant-winged eagle, and they couldn't help but look down from the sky.
Suddenly, they crossed a vast plain and entered the Tianqing Mountains...
As soon as they entered the mountains, they saw wide roads that led in all directions and appeared in the sight of Ye Chen and others.
On the road, one could see many people coming and going. Even from such a long distance, Ye Chen and the others could vaguely hear some noise coming from the ground.
The outline of a huge city stood faintly in the shadow of the lush mountains...
