Chapter 377
The Rise of Self-Determination
Since it was a cross-border teleportation formation of the Lingyun Sect, Jin Ziming showed his identity as an elder and was let through smoothly.
He first went to Crazy Knife Peak to meet the peak master, and when he entered the other party's official room, Chu Jing's eyes widened angrily, and he cursed: "You brat, you actually came back, why didn't you die in the starry sky?"
"Hey, Lao Chu, don't be angry. I was indeed reckless last time. At that time, I had just broken through to integration and was full of confidence. I left the Hongqing Realm without asking for advice from experienced people.
I want to experience the taste of starry sky travel alone. It’s true that ‘the ignorant are fearless’. Now that I think about it, I was too careless and made you worry. I’m really sorry.”
"I heard that you ran into trouble after arriving in Yongli Realm?"
"Well, something happened at a cross-border exchange meeting, and I was targeted by a True Lord from the Zhiyuan Sect.
Not long after entering Yongli Realm, they were captured by the two father and son. Fortunately, they were still smart and found an opportunity to run away." Jin Ziming explained lightly.
"Haha, you are very capable. You killed the real king. Please tell me carefully what happened? I have always been curious." Chu Jing exposed the potential of gossip.
The reckless man had no choice but to do as he was told, and Master Chu clicked his tongue in surprise.
"Zi Ming, when you come back this time, don't rush back to Shunxianjie. There will be a big event in half a year, and I guess the sect will let you participate."
"What's going on?"
"You have been busy with business these years. Unlike me at the headquarters, you can always keep abreast of the latest developments in various fields.
I will first tell you about the situation in the river system, and then I will talk to you about that matter. The two are related.
In the battle of realms more than 10,000 years ago, Zidejie was one of the winners. After the war, it gained huge benefits. Since then, it has been increasing investment in various important fields. It is very patient and far-sighted.
After so many years, whether it is in terms of weapon refining, runes, elixirs, formations, airships, weapons of mass destruction and cultivation methods, it has reached the forefront of the river system, leaving behind the strongest Yongli community.
later.
Although the development momentum of the Hongqing world is good, the civil war between the human and demon tribes, coupled with the lack of foresight of each faction, only invest in areas that can quickly benefit, causing the basic theory and technical structure to fall behind significantly.
I am afraid that only in a few areas such as mining machines, we are still ahead of others, but in other aspects, we are inferior."
"Zide Realm is not far from Shunxian Realm. I knew they were very powerful, but I didn't expect them to have developed to this point." Jin Ziming sighed.
"Not only that, they are not only developed and leading, they are also very enlightened and open. The nine super sects and their first and second tier sects have all formulated talent introduction plans.
No matter which field you come from, as long as you are an expert in the field of ethics, we will offer you very favorable conditions to attract you to join.
Including fame and fortune, cultivation resources and working environment, etc., they are all top-notch. As a result, they have poached many talents from all walks of life."
"You have to admire your vision."
"In the past 100 years or so, they have developed new tricks and held high-end exchange meetings in various fields, mainly in their own territory, and sometimes organized groups to go to other areas.
Through these activities, we can quickly identify top talents, demonstrate our own strength, and design attractive development plans for the other party to plunder high-end experts."
"Has Hongqingjie suffered a lot of losses?"
"A lot of talents have been lost, but people in the Cultivation Alliance either don't know about it or don't pay attention to it."
"If things go on like this, the strength gap between the realms will become more and more obvious. Will the major factions not care about it?" The man couldn't help but ask.
"Most sects are unaware of it, and a few who have a sense of crisis have introduced some measures, but the results are not obvious."
"Where is the Lingyun Sect?"
"The sect's response is quite appropriate. It has learned from the experience of the virtue world, introduced many experts and good talents from other fields, and intends to increase exchanges with super and first-level sects from all walks of life to avoid being closed off and falling behind."
"We are just a sect, and the other side is the entire realm. Overall, the Self-Destined sect will definitely become stronger and stronger."
"Yes." Chu Jing was worried.
"Lao Chu, you haven't said there is anything you need me to attend."
"Oh, it's like this. The super sect in the world of virtue has recently formed a group. It is mainly composed of 'young' masters in the four fields of martial arts, runes, weapon refining and mining machines.
They will visit four realms successively and arrive at the Hongqing realm in half a year.
Probably because of the exchange of mining machine technology, the Cultivation Alliance asked the Lingyun Sect to host it. I think since there is an exchange of martial arts, you probably won't be able to escape."
"Oh, that's it? Didn't you say they have bad intentions? I don't need to pay attention to them, right?"
"He is a scheming person. Even if you know that he is here to learn high-end technology and recruit people, you don't want to be slapped in the face because of your strengths, right?
Therefore, if nothing else happens, elites from all major factions in the four fields will attend."
"Well, okay, I think I can learn some useful things. By the way, Lao Chu, thank you very much for the magic light world thing!"
"Why are you thanking me? I just use my words and do everything with my hands. The great elder over there, Zhao He, is helping me handle it. You should thank me."
"That's right. Is he now at the headquarters?"
"In the magic light world, let's talk about it next time."
"Old Chu, can you trouble him one more time? I want to give Shen Xinchen a storage ring." The man was a little embarrassed and asked sarcastically.
"Oh, you just have a lot to do, so please leave me here for now. When you see him next time, you can shamelessly ask for help."
"Okay, thank you!" Jin Ziming beamed and quickly took out the Najie he had prepared in advance, which contained letters to Lin Xi and Shen Xinchen, Jiao Hai's double swords, skills and experience, and various cultivation resources.
After bidding farewell to Chu Jing, Meng Yu had a dinner with friends as usual that night. Meng Yu brought a man over. The young man was tall, handsome, and seemed to be elegant. Naturally, he was Zhong Qingyang, who was madly pursuing her.
Jin Ziming chatted with him for a few words, and quickly classified him as neutral, someone who did not need to have deep friendship, and immediately lost his desire to communicate.
Mu Yan had dressed up carefully, wearing a white skirt, which highlighted her slender figure. Her whole body was slender and delicate, which perfectly accentuated her elegant orchid-like temperament.
Since the last time he had a deep hug with her, the mangy man blamed himself for his "misunderstanding" of her in the past. Today he paid special attention and was surprised to find that the senior sister did not use a cloth to restrain him.
Mu Yan, who has regained her confidence, looks mature, elegant, and in high spirits. She talks about martial arts, cultivation, and gossip, which makes Jin Ziming happy with her change.
"Master, Zhong Qingyang is about to be sent abroad. He has applied for three realms, namely Zide Realm, Yongli Realm or Shunxian Realm.
If I go to your place, please take more care of me and give me more opportunities." Meng Yu said coquettishly, and the Taoist companion beside her also looked expectantly.
"In the Shunxian world, they are all my brothers, how could I not take care of them?" The reckless man was unwilling to accept her move.
Seeing that he didn't get the answer he wanted, Meng Yu pouted with dissatisfaction, and the white-faced young man also showed a hint of disappointment. Chu Qingfan came out to smooth things over:
"I heard an interesting story from my fellow disciples who came to support me from all walks of life, and it was related to Zi Ming."
Mu Yan, Qin Yu and others suddenly became interested and asked what was going on.
"The Zide Realm, Shunxian Realm and Heiluo Realm are the farthest from the Hongqing Realm, but they are relatively close to each other. Some technical support brothers go there and usually visit all three places.
After they come back, it sounds very interesting to compare the behavior style of the great elders of the three realms."
"How to say it?"
"When the boss of Zidejie meets the people at the headquarters, he will say: 'You all have to work hard for me, because I will bear all your expenses.'
The Great Elder of the Black Luo Realm said: 'You lack first-line experience, so you should learn more from my brothers, they are all masters.'
What Zi Ming said was: 'When you come to Shunxian World, you are all my brothers. If you have any difficulties, just ask and I will try my best to help you solve it.'
Tell me, these brothers who are going to support us, who are they willing to work for?"
"That's no need to ask. Of course senior brother is more popular." Qin Yu answered first.
"Junior brother, he is indeed unique in dealing with people. Even in the headquarters, he is well-known." Mu Yan agreed.
"What you don't know is that the sect's foundation in the Shunxian world is very weak. I wish more experts from the headquarters could come to my aid.
After they come, as long as they can devote themselves to work and make my brothers grow, I will naturally take care of them in every possible way." Jin Ziming explained.
"The Zide World is coming to communicate, have you heard about it?" Qin Yu started a new topic.
"Everyone has been discussing this matter recently. The chief elder of the special team has stated that we, the two of us, must participate," Wang Hai said.
"The Peak Master talked to everyone a few days ago, and I might participate in the exchange of weapon refining." Chu Qingfan said.
"I also heard the master of Crazy Knife Peak mention it today."
"How about it, senior brother, will you participate?"
"Maybe, I will obey the sect's arrangements."
"The quota is very tight, senior brother, you must apply quickly."
"I don't care, just let it go."
"Tin Yu, you don't have to worry about it. If the sect can agree to you and me playing, how can we not let the Demon Sword go?" Wang Hai reminded.
"Oh, that's right." Qin Yu suddenly realized.
After the banquet was over, Jin Ziming pulled Chu Qingfan aside, handed him a dark brown storage ring, and said:
"Qing Fan, do me a favor. Can you find an elder with a strong soul in Lingfu Peak? He must be trustworthy and try to break the restriction."
"This is a small matter. You can ask Uncle Qi or the Peak Master for help, but they are not available these days. Are you in a hurry?"
"Don't worry, I can do it until I return to Shunxianjie."
"Okay, then you wait for my news."
The next day, he gathered Mu Yan and Meng Yu together to learn about their practice progress, and gave them answers and guidance, especially explaining to his disciples the precautions for breaking through to the Nascent Soul.
Three days after teaching the two girls step by step, he asked for leave from the sect, teleported to Faran City, and entered the Ye family. Naturally, someone helped to inform Ye Ranyi of Xiaoyao Sect.
The mangy man stayed in their small courtyard and couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of his mother-in-law's death. Soon, someone came to send a message saying that the clan leader wanted to see him.
When I came to the meeting hall, I found that the second elder, Ye Qingqin and others were all there, and the atmosphere in the room was quite solemn.
Tonight at 19:00, one more update will be added.
