"In the past, sects were free to choose. If they didn't want to advance, no one would force them.
You can live your life guarding your sect.
But it’s no longer possible now. In order to resist the danger that may come, all sects must tap into their last bit of potential.”
Zhang Ke smiled and said:
"It seems that it is more appropriate to keep the sect's rank at the fourth and seventh levels, so that there is room for change in advance and retreat."
Qingmei still agrees with this.
"That's right, even if the big upgrade fails, you can still upgrade it next time with the buffer time."
Zhang Ke finally understood the various rules for this promotion, but he still felt that this rule was unreasonable.
The sect level is only ninth grade.
If every sect promotion assessment requires an upgrade, then there will be basically no room for promotion for fourth-grade sects.
After all, the first threshold of a high-grade sect will strangle people to death.
With three Dao Lords in charge, it is not something that ordinary fourth-grade sects can easily achieve.
And with the background of a fourth-grade sect, it is not easy to pull down a high-grade sect.
Besides, there are problems with this upgrade.
Taking the ninth-grade sect as an example, if the calculation is based on promotion once every 100 years.
If we don't take into account the high-grade sect and the fixed-level and relegation, wouldn't it take six hundred years to be promoted to the fourth grade?
And how is this possible? It took the Xiantian Yiqi Sect only eight thousand years to raise the sect to the seventh level.
The requirements for a ninth-grade sect are not high, as long as there is a True Lord of Yuanshen.
However, it is impossible for a sect to have a True Lord of the Cave Heaven Realm emerge within six hundred years.
What's more, there are other requirements from the sect as a whole.
As for promotion to a high-level sect, it is even more impossible.
Zhang Ke asked this question.
Qingmei smiled and said:
"This is the idea of the high-ranking sects, they want to use whips to make each sect dare not slack off.
Of course, it is impossible to advance to a higher level every hundred years in the future. No sect has such a foundation.
I heard that future upgrades will be carried out separately, and there will be new rules for fixed levels, minor upgrades, and major upgrades.
It's just that it hasn't been determined yet.
In addition, there are benefits to doing this.
Generally speaking, before the sect's strength accumulates to the point of promotion, all they can do is to keep their sect from losing levels.
Therefore, if you want to affiliate with a sect that is ready to advance, you will definitely pay a high price.
These prices are a means to strengthen the strength of the upgraded sect."
Zhang Ke suddenly realized that from this point of view, such rules would have many benefits for his sect.
After having a general understanding of the matter, Zhang Ke thought of the evacuation of the 'Ming De Zong' again.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ke said:
"Qingmei, can you ask your friends in the Mingde Sect what resources are available for sale?"
Qingmei was slightly startled, thought for a moment and said:
"What? Is Yiqizong planning to develop at sea?"
Some things cannot be hidden from others. Everyone knows what the sect's promotion means.
Since there is no room for development on land, it is also a good idea to turn to maritime development.
But, is there a suitable place on the sea?
The Star-Chasing Sword Sect that Qingmei belongs to is now a fifth-grade sect. Just like the situation faced by the Xiantian Yiqi Sect, they cannot find a way to expand outward.
Zhang Ke smiled and said:
"I can't hide anything from you. It's true that I am planning to go to the South China Sea to establish a sect branch.
Now that Ming Dezong is leaving the East China Sea, maybe the things he left behind will be useful to me."
Qingmei frowned and said:
"It seems that there are no islands in the South China Sea that can be settled, right?"
Zhang Ke nodded slightly: "Yes! I already have some ideas about this and will discuss it with you in detail later.
Now I will go to the sect’s patriarch to discuss this promotion test.”
"Yeah! That's okay, I'll go find the sisters from the Ming De Sect to help you ask."
Qingmei agreed, and then hesitantly wanted to say something, but in the end did not speak.
Zhang Ke stood up and left with a smile. He wanted to discuss the rules of this assessment with Patriarch Tianya.
Maybe the sect can take this opportunity to grow stronger.
At the same time, Zhang Ke discovered a big problem in his sect.
Zhang Ke also roughly understood what Qingmei didn't say.
The promotion rules and the number of new sects that Qingmei mentioned should not be too big of a secret.
But unfortunately, his sect did not receive any news.
It stands to reason that Dingzhou boss ‘Bajing Palace’ should reveal this kind of news.
Zhang Ke didn't know if all the sects in Dingzhou didn't know, or if only his sect was being kept in the dark.
If it is the latter, then the meaning is somewhat unusual.
When Zhang Ke found the True Monarch Tianya, he found that the Patriarch's face didn't look very good either.
Obviously, Zhenjun Tianya has already received the information he wants to know from a group of friends.
After returning to the residence arranged by Tiandaozong and summarizing the information they had obtained, the five of them were silent.
Most of the high-ranking sects in Dingzhou have obtained complete information from the ‘Bajing Palace’.
Only a few sects have been left out, and Xiantian Yiqi Sect is one of them.
After a long while, True Lord Tianya slowly spoke:
"No matter what the reason is, this is not a good sign."
He turned to Zhang Ke and said:
"Some things can't wait any longer. If you wish, after this promotion, you will go to sea to establish a branch of our sect. The sect will fully support you.
As for the resources left by the Mingde Sect, you have full authority to deal with them, and keep all the ones you think are useful."
Zhang Ke responded and asked:
"I wonder what the Patriarch thinks of those sects who want to establish their ranks?"
True Lord Tianya resolutely said:
"You don't need to worry about these things, I have my own plans in mind."
In the days that followed, Zhang Ke only did one thing, and that was the transaction with the Ming De Zong.
He purchased three almost brand-new mountain ships from the 'Ming De Zong' for seven million gold talismans.
As for the population and the basic resources of the five elements that he wanted most, he didn't get a single bit.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After negotiation, the three mountain ships were temporarily delivered to the waters controlled by the Star-Chasing Sword Sect.
Wait until Zhang Kezong's sect reaches a higher level before handing it over.
Although only three ships were traded, it was already more than two months after a series of matters were clearly explained.
During this period, I didn't even have time to spend time with Qingmei.
Within three months, many sects established alliances with each other.
Many sects that have advanced greatly have given conditions to allow some sects who want to reach higher levels to become affiliated and earn a lot of money.
But Xiantian Yiqi Sect did not do this, and Tianya Zhenjun did not adopt Zhang Ke's suggestion in the end.
Although many sects have offered prices that make everyone excited.
But in order to ensure that the upgrade was foolproof, True Monarch Tianya still refused all requests.
The ninth day of September.
The day for the sect’s promotion assessment has finally arrived.
Everyone in the Xiantian Yiqi Sect marched quickly as the 'Tiandao Sect' led the disciples.
Surrounded by trial teams from other sects in the Eastern Region.
Almost no one spoke on the road, they all silently followed the flow of people and moved forward quickly.
Tongtian Peak.
The highest mountain peak in Baiyujing.
When all the practitioners arrived at the top of Tongtian Peak, they were all startled by the huge thing at the top.
I saw a ship as big as a mountain hovering in the air more than ten feet above the peak.
This big ship in the void is thousands of feet long from bow to stern, no less than three hundred feet wide, and at least eighty feet tall.
The hull is full of magic patterns that are constantly flashing with spiritual light. This is actually a rare flying boat type magic weapon.
Because it was hidden by the concealment formation on Tongtian Peak, this behemoth was not discovered until we reached the top of the peak.
"S--! It's such a big ship. Can it fly like this?"
"Alas! It is indeed a split from the Tao Te Sect, the largest sect in Japan in the past. Look at their background, it is really amazing!"
"Yes! There are still three thousand nails in the broken ship. I don't know where this big ship came from?"
"..."
Only then did the crowd become active again, discussing the origin of the big ship.
Zhang Ke carefully explored the ship with his spiritual thoughts. He had only seen a ship capable of flying in the void once.
When I was still in the Blue Sky Realm, I saw a ship that could also fly during the demonic insect invasion.
It's just that the magic ship is much smaller than this one, and it doesn't seem to have the attacking magic circles that are visible everywhere on this ship.
Patriarch Tianya saw Zhang Ke's expression as if he had discovered something, and asked in a low voice.
"Ruyi, can you tell the origin of this ship?"
Zhang Ke replied casually:
"Hmm! It's probably a remnant of the destruction of heaven in the past!"
True Lord Furong laughed from the side.
There are so many multi-spiritual masters who haven't seen the whole thing, but you can tell at a glance that he is ugly and ugly.
The disciples of the Tiandao Sect who were leading the way also heard what Zhang Ke said.
He said with admiration:
"Zhenjun Ruyi has good eyesight. This Dharma ship is named 'Pojun'.
It is one of the fourteen main battle magic ships among the 108 magic ships of Ziwei under the direct control of the Heavenly Emperor in the past.
Together with the ‘Seven Kills’ and the ‘Greedy Wolf’!”
A flash of red flashed across Zhenjun Furong's face, and the slap on his face really made a 'pop' sound.
Zhang Ke turned to look at her and laughed "haha".
"The Ziwei Star symbolizes the Emperor Star, so it is under the direct control of the Emperor of Heaven.
There are a total of 108 stars in Ziwei’s horoscope, and ‘Sha Po Lang’ is the main killer and the most aggressive. The so-called ‘triad will take photos’ as the stars change...”
As he spoke, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
"You don't understand even if I tell you, forget it, don't tell me anymore!"
After saying that, Shi Shiran stood aside and carefully observed the dharma patterns on the 'Pojun' dharma boat.
Fan Chun came and a group of Jindan realm disciples quietly winked.
Zhang Ke is notoriously petty, and if you offend him, he will stab you from time to time.
As a disciple who started at the same time as Zhang Ke, how could Fan Chunlai not know about it.
Everyone discussed in low voices for a while, then someone heard someone say loudly:
"Every sect, everyone, get on board quickly!"
A dazzling spiritual light flashed from the bottom and side grooves of the broken military law ship, and countless hatches opened.
The Xiantian Yi Qi Sect disciples followed the leading disciple and flew into the interior of the broken military law ship along the wide open hatch.
