"What foreign court?" Cheng Yu asked.

"It seems to be the Tianyue Dynasty!" Elder Yang said.

"Tianyue Dynasty? I've never heard of this, what? Are they very powerful?" Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said.

He has traveled extensively over the years and has been practicing in the world of cultivation for so many years. He has traveled to many places and heard of many dynasties.

However, this Tianyue Dynasty has indeed never been heard of, perhaps because he has never been to this place before.

"The overall strength of the Tianyue Dynasty is not particularly outstanding. However, the strength of the outer king and several elders of the Tianyue Dynasty is very famous in the entire dynasty." Elder Yang explained.

"Oh? What kind of strength do they have? Are they immortals?" Cheng Yu asked with interest.

All of them have reached this level now, although it does not mean that they are invincible, especially Cheng Yu himself.

If he really wants to say that others are stronger than him, he is really confident that there aren't many in the world, right?

For now, he is not afraid of monks in the Tribulation Stage. As long as the opponent has not reached the level of an immortal, he is confident that he can fight with the opponent without losing.

However, Elder Yang and the others had told him before that even their inner lord might not have reached the level of an immortal.

So why should they fear a foreign king and a few elders?

"I don't know much about the specific strength, but ten years ago there was a strength competition between the inner and outer dynasties. At that time, the outer king of Tianyue showed extremely profound strength in front of all the outer kings." Elder Yang said.

"Then where did he rank in all the competitions among the foreign kings in your inner dynasty?" Cheng Yu asked curiously.

"That time King Tianyue seemed to have entered the top twenty." Elder Yang thought for a while and said.

"Top twenty?" Cheng Yu nodded, obviously looking down upon this ranking.

"Master, don't underestimate the ranking of Tianyue Waiwang. Although he is only in the top twenty, he is already in the top twenty in front of all the Waiwang. His strength is already extraordinary.

At least among us, except for the young master, no one should be his opponent. More importantly, many foreign kings at that time thought that he deliberately hid his strength and did not display his full strength.

Therefore, it can be said that no one really knows what the strength of King Tianyue is. Maybe when he displays all his strength, it is not certain that he can enter the top ten or even the top five!" Elder Feng saw the contempt of the young master,

He couldn't help but explain quickly.

"Since he can hide his strength, how do you know that other foreign kings don't hide their strength?" Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"To be honest, in the competition between foreign kings, many foreign kings do deliberately hide their strength, so there will also be an elder competition, so that the approximate strength of a foreign king can be judged.

Several elders in charge of Tianyue Waichao also gained a lot of limelight in the competition, so Tianyue Waichao ranked very high in the entire competition. This is enough to see that

The strength of Tianyue Waichao." Elder Fan also said.

"But even so, everyone in the competition may still hide their own strength. Such a competition does not seem to have much meaning!" Cheng Yu said.

How can people at their level care about these false names?

Moreover, it may not be a good thing to show all your strength in such a big competition, and it may make the inner court take notice.

Therefore, if he were the foreign king of the dynasty, he would not be able to show his full strength.

"Young Master, things are not that simple. In this competition, it seems that everyone can hide their strength, but the higher the ranking, the outer court has many benefits, so even if some people can hide their strength, they dare not

They can fool this competition casually, or they will lose the most!" Elder Fan said.

"Oh? What's the benefit?" Cheng Yu asked curiously.

"This has a lot of benefits. Generally, foreign countries will be rewarded if they enter the top 100 in terms of strength, and the higher the ranking, the more generous the reward will be. In addition to extremely precious resource rewards based on ranking, there are also territorial rewards.

The higher the ranking, the more territory will be rewarded, which means that one's foreign power will continue to expand. In addition, the number of tributes paid by foreign countries that are in the top 100 will be reduced accordingly.

Especially the foreign dynasties that ranked among the top three were even exempted from paying all tributes.

Therefore, the most intense competition in every foreign competition is the competition among the top three, and the rewards and benefits are also the most." Elder Fan said.

"I see, but where does this territorial reward come from? Aren't the spheres of influence of each foreign dynasty fixed?" Cheng Yu asked doubtfully.

"The sphere of influence of the foreign dynasties has never been fixed, let alone changing the sphere of influence through the competition between the foreign dynasties. Even if there is no competition between the foreign dynasties, many foreign dynasties will change the sphere of influence through war. This is also

It's all based on one's own ability.

In the competition between foreign dynasties, the top 100 foreign dynasties will get a certain territory, but the foreign dynasties ranked last 100 must cede a certain sphere of influence.

Therefore, no foreign court wants to be ranked in the bottom hundred. It is precisely because of this that the young master just said that everyone is hiding their strength, which is absolutely impossible.

Especially those foreign dynasties at the bottom of the ranking, if they still hide their strength, they will only lose themselves. And the lower the ranking, the greater the loss." Elder Fan explained.

"That's quite interesting!" Cheng Yu smiled and nodded. It seems that Dynasty has more fun than he thought.

"But I still have a question. Just now you said that the first 100 people will get the territory, and the bottom 100 people will cede the territory. So if the territory ceded by one foreign dynasty is not connected to another foreign dynasty that gets the territory, then

What should I do?" Cheng Yu asked.

Just like Chihuo Waichao and Xuanguang Waichao, the two Waichao are so far apart. One Waichao ceded territory, but this territory is still so far away from the other Waichao. So what is the use of this territory?

Will I have to go so far away to manage a territory in the future?

"Well, ceding territory is a formality. Generally speaking, it is handled through negotiation. If two neighboring foreign countries cede one to the other and gain it, then the two foreign countries can directly complete the transfer.

But if two foreign dynasties are not adjacent, it can be changed to other forms. For example, resources can be used directly to replace the cession of territory. Or maybe the foreign dynasty that ceded territory can sell these territories to the neighboring foreign dynasty, and then return them to the neighboring foreign dynasty.

Give resources to foreign dynasties that can gain territory.

Of course, they can also trade with what they want, such as their population and military strength. As long as the two foreign countries can reach an agreement, everything can be decided on their own, which is very flexible." Elder Fan explained.

"So that's it, this is indeed a very good idea!" Cheng Yu finally understood.

Put it this way, even if they can hide their strength, they are not hiding their strength completely randomly.

Some people will feel that they can't reach the reward of the previous level anyway, so naturally they won't try to move up.

However, this can basically show the overall strength of a foreign country.

There are so many foreign dynasties in the world, and the fact that Tianyue Foreign Dynasty can enter the top twenty is enough to prove that the strength of other foreign dynasties is indeed not small.

Originally, he didn't care too much about the strength of a foreign court, because he had already secretly controlled many foreign courts.

But after hearing the explanations everyone gave him, it really made him interested in Tianyue Waichao.

He also wanted to see how strong this foreign dynasty was, which ranked among the top twenty among so many foreign dynasties.

"But what is the relationship between the Tianyue Waichao you are talking about and the Lord of Hongtian City?" Cheng Yu thought for a while and asked.

"I'm not very clear about this. Some people say that the Lord of Hongtian City is the son of King Tianyue, but some people say that he is actually the son of one of the elders in charge.

But regardless of whether this is true or not, I think this Hongtian City Lord must have a close relationship with Tianyue Waichao.

Otherwise, if he really had the Sky Mirror in his hand, wouldn't it have been taken away by Tianyue Waichao long ago? How could it still be in the hands of the Lord of Hongtian City?" Elder Fan said.

"Yes, young master, if you want to get the Lord of Hongtian City, you will definitely offend Tianyue Waichao.

Although this Tianyue Waichao is relatively low-key, its strength cannot be underestimated. More importantly, although the cultivation world does not know this Tianyue Waichao, it is still famous among the dynasties, especially

After this foreign competition.

If the young master offends this Tianyue outer court now, then we will definitely be noticed by many outer court, and it may even reach the ears of the inner court.

Since the young master doesn't want to start a war with the dynasty yet, he doesn't want all the outside dynasties to know about the existence of our Cheng family, right?" Elder Yang reminded.

"Our worries are not unreasonable, but this is the first time I know that the dynasty actually has such an external competition.

Especially the Tianyue Waichao, which is actually one of the top twenty foreign dynasties in the world, this is a rare opportunity." Cheng Yu said with a smile.

Of course he didn't want to be stared at by all the foreigners, but he had to find the sunglasses.

Although the mirror magic weapon held by Hongtian City Lord may not be a sunglass, he still has to look at it first before talking about it.

As for offending Tianyue Waichao would be equivalent to exposing himself or even the entire Cheng family to the world's Waichao, he didn't think so.

At least he still has a lot of experience in dealing with foreign countries. Although this time is different from the previous situation, he does not think that this time it will fail.

Moreover, he really wants to meet Tianyue Waichao for a while and see how strong the top twenty Waichao are.
