Although the invited guests were different from those of other sects, but as landowners, they did not show any preference. The four Heavenly Lords gave enlightenment together, and at the center of the glazed sky, slightly outside, there were dozens of floating clouds.
, and never crossed the limit.
Jade ion, Yu Gucheng approached first and immediately figured out the clues. Following the guidance of the mind, the clouds can be picked at will and turned into tables, chairs, stands, pavilions and other things, and they can be used as they wish.
The two of them looked like a stone pavilion, sitting in the east and west.
However, although they are only a few feet away from each other, and the two of them have a very close friendship, at this moment they do not exchange a word. Instead, their eyes are focused and calm, and they are in peace in the "Liu Li Tian".
The flow between people is unstable.
This is true for the two of them, and the rest of them are no exception.
Then a very strange thing happened. After the fourth dimension left the seclusion and opened the door to invite the guests, there were half as many people in the room; but the original cold, solemn, and heavy smell did not dissipate, but intensified.
Already.
As for the ordinary grand gatherings, the frequent gambling on the outcome of the competition and the judging of the characters are completely extinct, and no one has the intention to do it.
After all the guests had taken their seats, the Yin Sect Xu Xian Tianzun arrived.
He had a square scarf on his head, and his aura was completely different from usual. He seemed to be just a slightly supernatural mortal. He stepped forward leisurely and exchanged a few words with the head of Dongfang.
Although Xu Xian's merits are inferior to those of the four Heavenly Lords of the Nine Sects, he is still in the Tao realm and has a transcendent status. After this exchange of words, the cold and stagnant atmosphere was diluted a lot.
After more than ten breaths, Xu Xian Tianzun gently tapped with his backhand.
The floating clouds that had not been exhausted in the sky immediately gathered together and turned into a deep and majestic palace with uncertain reality and reality. It was about thousands of miles away from the mysterious glazed sky. Following a flowing sound like the breaking of water lines, his figure suddenly disappeared.
It obviously belongs to them.
Ji Cangsheng's voice was calm, calming down the sudden ripples and returning to silence: "In this way, the five-hundred-year meeting has officially begun. Please also invite one person from each sect to preside over the meeting."
As the words were about to fall, one person from each of the nine sects came forward and gathered in a circle.
Even if he is not the leader of any sect, he is still a very profound person.
In a normal five-hundred-year meeting, this would be the time to enter the competition directly.
But today's meeting is different. A new covenant will be established in the future. Although everyone knows that the nine sects are divided into two camps, whoever takes the lead will establish a completely different order. But this matter is not to be announced after it is completed.
The answer is to have a process of clarifying one's ambitions and explaining one's position and strategy in advance.
Among the nine people forming a circle, two took a step forward.
The first is the True Lord Pu Fangyu of Chenyang Jianshan.
The other one is the head of Yuehengzong Nangong.
Pu Zhenjun looked around and then spoke slowly: "We, the Chenyang Jianshan, the original Lu Sect, the Zangxiang Sect, the Zhentan Sect, and the four imperial sects, discussed it together and unanimously agreed. The rules for enlightenment in the next century should be determined by '
The equal-level method is the best. If our direct descendants account for a majority, this contract should be made clear."
Although his voice was slow and slow, his words were full of meaning and resonated deeply with people's hearts.
Of course, no one came up to ask, "What is the method of determining the level of order?" and there was no need for it.
In the misty blue sky, I heard the true Lord Pu Fangyu continue: "The success or failure depends on the rise and fall of a sect. There are only two ways: one is that the Taoist skills are only subtle but subtle; the other is that the foundation is broad and solid."
"As far as the essence of Taoism is concerned, based on the main theory, our nine sects of Taoism have all survived through the ages. Their karma after passing through one realm is indestructible, and they are comparable to those of ordinary people. This is something we all know
The levels are similar, needless to say. As for the difference, there are only two, there are completed ways and uncompleted ways; there are also differences in the vastness, depth and scale of magical powers and methods."
"In terms of the vastness and solidity of the foundation, the number of treasures, the abundance of products, the accumulation of precious treasures and secret techniques, the rise and fall of talents, the vastness of the territory, etc., are all within the degree."
"The 'ranking method' that we are paying attention to is that after a period of three thousand years, the total number of them is calculated to determine the high and low grades of the nine sects, corresponding to different restrictions on enlightened people, which can be changed at any time. Compared with the old law, which is limited to nine people, it is more
It conforms to the principle of rising and falling with the trend, and the name and reality match.”
After he finished speaking, on his fingertips, fine sword patterns could not help but flow out, divided into four, woven into small talisman books, and put into the palms of the three masters Nangong, Yuan, and Xue and Zhenjun Shi Fengnan respectively.
The three of them looked at the details and found that it was as expected.
Yuan Ying took a brief look at his divine intention and shook his head secretly. It turns out that the Piaomiao Sect of the Yue Heng Sect really got it right.
Glancing to the left without trace, Du Minglun of the Tibetan Xiang Sect looked at his nose, his nose and his heart, and he was silent. It seemed that everything Pu Fangyu Shangzhen said had nothing to do with it. But there is no doubt that in terms of power,
The so-called "leveling method" just now must be mastered by this person.
The reason why Chenyang Jianshan, the original Lu Sect, and the Zangxiang Sect came together is because these three families had the advantage of being the first movers in the previous generation, and they intended to join forces to preserve this advantage for the next generation.
It is best to establish a contract where it is invincible.
The initial plan of the three schools just relied on the pretext of "complete the Tao". It was very concise and did not follow the reality. Because of Chenyang, the original road has been completed, and the Zangxiang Sect is only missing the last half step. Soon,
It can be done. With this contract established, the three families will naturally benefit the most.
But I didn't expect that extraordinary heroes from the Yue Heng Sect and the Piaomiao Sect would appear at the right time. They were only halfway on the road to completion, but they made incredible rapid progress and ended up being the last to arrive.
What took more than ten thousand years to accomplish was accomplished in one fell swoop. If you still stick to the original plan, you will be benefiting from the Yue Heng Sect and the Piaomiao Sect.
Therefore, it is expected that the standards will be changed and the consideration of "comprehensive strength" will be introduced.
The Taoism of Piaomiao Sect, Yingfa Sect, and even Yueheng Sect emphasizes the harmony of fate, law and mind. Even if the level of Taoism is completely the same, in terms of material management and the recruitment of low-level disciples, it is not as neat and vast as Taoism.
Chenyang, the second Zangxiang sect.
Among the texts passed down by Pu Fangyu, the proportion of whether they have completed the Tao or not accounts for 30%; the vastness and complexity of the other supernatural powers and methods account for 20%; but the accumulation of actual strength of the sect accounts for 50%.
According to Pu Fangyu's method, even if the Tao is completed, based on the existing scale and background of each sect, Chenyang Jianshan's quota will reach thirteen to fifteen people, Zangxiang Sect's quota will reach at least eleven, and Yueheng,
There are no more than six people in Piaomiao.
However, the top talents from the three sects such as the Piaomiao Sect are pouring in. Although the materials are narrow and the scale is narrow, the number of top people may not be inferior to you. The so-called strict entry and strict exit, win by quality. Restrict entry to the Tao based on the size of the form.
The quota is obviously unreasonable.
But this is just for the purpose of mutual appeal, not a debate conference.
The two sides have become strangers to each other for a long time. Yuan Ying and Shi Fengnan, the true kings, although they strongly disagree in their hearts, they will not refute.
Pu Fangyu returned to his original position, and the leader of Nangong stepped forward to occupy the center.
The head of Nangong smiled calmly and said: "The four of us believe that after today, the so-called 'Five Hundred Years Meeting' will become history. As for the way to enter the Taoism, if the name and reality are consistent, it will be a matter of time."
As soon as this statement came out, Pu Fangyu, Du Minglun, Xin Ya'an and others were all shocked.
Is this the end of the "Five Hundred Years Meeting"?
Just now, the Yue Heng Sect had clearly vaguely guessed the enlightenment plan proposed by the Chenyang Jianshan and Zangxiang Sect.
But the Chenyang camp guessed wrongly about the opponent's plan.
I originally thought that Yue Heng and Piaomiao Sect should try their best to take advantage of their talent peak in this generation, or their advantage of being very close to the end of the road, and intend to keep pace with Chenyang Jianshan, Yuan Lu Sect, etc. Even after their positions changed, their
What we hold is the original Chenyang Jianshan case, which insists on the sole criterion of completeness.
But what Head Nangong said was completely different from what he expected.
The head of Nangong continued: "My nine sects are profound in Taoism. When the Tao reaches a very high level, the depth of fire and the subtlety of judging superiors and inferiors can be seen clearly. It was even proposed by a guest monster clan, and each sect also agreed with the perfect"
The theory of "seven steps and eight grades" is also very popular."
At the guest seat, Yuan Fang smiled slightly when he heard the words.
The head of Nangong said: "It's just that the top figures in the past were few and far between. The Seven Steps and Eight Grades are just a theory after all. If you regard them as golden rules, there are still some shortcomings. If you use them to judge people, it will be even more difficult for people's hearts.
Not convinced."
"That's not the case in this world. Heroes are at their peak. There are an astonishing number of dozens of people who have reached the seven-step threshold, which was the lowest threshold for shortcuts in the past. With these many references, we can compare their seals, and there are nine sects in total.
It has become a public agreement that everyone agrees with; even if it is refined into a tangible treasure, it is not impossible if it is measured with a ruler and a yardstick."
"From today on, the levels of attainment of Taoism are no longer a theory, but a hard-to-learn method."
"We believe that if you reach the 'four-step realm' and have your merits verified by the treasures jointly managed by the nine sects, you will naturally be qualified to enter the Xuanhuo Glazed Heaven and become a Taoist."
Du Minglun and Xin Yaan looked at each other, obviously a little surprised.
Zhenjun Pu Fangyu frowned, with a hint of surprise in his face.
The plan proposed by Yue Heng was actually novel and unique.
But this method... although fair and concise, does not seem to be in its interests; on the contrary, it is more in line with the interests of Chenyang Jianshan.
There is a trick here.
After Yue Heng and the Piaomiao Sect complete their Taoism, their top figures may be confident that they will not lose to Chenyang Jianshan; but when it comes to the stability of talents, due to the limitations of Taoism characteristics, they are destined to fall short.
Maybe talents will wither in thousands of years, or maybe like this world, only a few hundred years will bring out extraordinary talents.
One is a stable inheritance, the other is extremely volatile, with ups and downs, and the pros and cons can be known without asking.
Instability brings risks.
Because when you are at your peak, you may not be able to overwhelm Chenyang Sword Mountain; but when you are weak, it is easy for others to take advantage of you. Even in the worst case scenario, there will be no talent within four steps, and the shortcuts will be blocked, and the door will be closed.
If no one can control the heavy treasures of the Central Suppression, the trouble will be huge.
The head of Nangong turned a blind eye to the subtle changes in the expressions of Pu Fangyu and others, and continued: "The above is the method of directly entering the glazed sky to achieve Taoism. It cannot be done by people who are not extremely talented; the Tao can also be achieved by walking in five to nine steps.
There is a path to enlightenment.”
"This road, no matter who wins or loses today, will be open to the nine sects. The shortest path takes nine steps to achieve enlightenment; those who take four steps up follow the upper method. The so-called four-nine steps to attain enlightenment."
Originally, this was just individual narration, not a debate or discussion meeting. But when the head of Nangong said these words, it was astonishing! The sound of the tide was rolling and whispering, and the atmosphere in the glass sky that was like ten thousand years of ice was completely melted.
