Before anyone around him could ask questions, Zhang Ke continued:
"Suppose you are a Hebo, and you need to divert water from ten rivers every day to irrigate the surrounding fields to ensure the normal growth of the seedlings.
However, as more farmland is cultivated, its demand for river water is increasing.
In order to irrigate more farmland, you can only divert more river water from the river.
But one day you suddenly realize that if you continue to divert water out of the river without restriction, the water in the river will dry up in the future.
And if there is no water in the river, Hebo will have no meaning of existence.
At this time, if you were He Bo, how would you respond?"
A sect leader tentatively replied:
"Half the water flow from the river can extend the time when the river water dries up, during which time there may be rain to replenish the water source in the river."
Another person said:
“Inappropriately, the reduction of river water diversion means that the fields cannot be fully irrigated, which may result in a decrease in field production or, in worst case, drought and drought.
It is better to open multiple river channels and divert water from other rivers into the river to ensure that the river has abundant water."
Since Zhang Ke has just mentioned the words "increase revenue and reduce expenditure", how can everyone not understand the meaning of his words?
Zhang Ke praised:
"What you all said is true, and this is the situation our industry is facing now.
The Azure Realm is so big, but there are so many sects in the world. After countless years of development, the resources in the realm are just barely surviving.
Even though this realm has been recuperating for thousands of years, as the number of practitioners continues to grow, the resources in the realm have long been unable to make ends meet.
Even if we don't have our own sect to guide the sects around the world to deprive resources, how long can the realm last?
‘Cutting expenditures’ is just a measure for interests. If we want to develop and grow, we can only ‘open up sources of revenue’.”
The Lord of Destruction snorted coldly and said:
"You are not the only one who cares about the safety of the realm. For thousands of years, every sect in the world has not been thinking hard about countermeasures.
The word "open source" is simple to say, but it is not as easy to implement as you think.
A thousand years ago, our sect called on sects all over the world to bring many secret realms and small worlds into our world, but what is the final result?"
Zhang Ke looked at the Taoist Lord of Destruction.
"I remember that when the sect was promoted for the first time after the grade assessment, our sect once pulled the 'Misty World' from outside the territory into the boundary.
The size of the 'Misty World' is equivalent to a state in the Eastern Region. Even if there is some loss during the integration process, at least 70% of it will be integrated into this world.
But what did we get in the end?
It's just a nominal promotion from a low-grade sect to a middle-grade one!
But what happens after that?
Due to the suppression and exclusion of Dingzhou's "Bajing Palace" and the vigilance and fear of other sects, basically our sect has not received any substantial benefits, but has been threatened and targeted everywhere.
If it weren’t for the ‘Bajing Palace’’s constant targeting, why would our sect have to go overseas and go through so much trouble to open another branch?”
Taojun Tushita's expression changed and he said in a deep voice:
"The 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' is a Dingzhou sect. There has never been any suppression of this sect. Master Ruyi, please don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Ke glanced at Taoist Master Tushita and said calmly:
"Do you need me to show you all the evidence that the Eight Views Palace has against the Xiantian Yiqi Sect over the past hundreds of years?"
"you..."
Taojun Tushita couldn't help being speechless. As the ruler of a state, it is instinct to suppress the large and small sects in the territory. This cannot be hidden from anyone's eyes.
The Lord of Destruction interjected again:
"The focus of our discussion at this time is 'open source', and Master Ruyi must not change the subject."
Zhang Ke sneered:
"Fellow Taoist Destruction blames other sects for not doing their best in the process of sect promotion, but you don't know how many secret realms and small worlds the 'Tiandao Sect' has brought back over the past few hundred years?"
"this..."
The Taoist Lord of Destruction was also questioned.
Every secret realm is a treasure. Which sect will be willing to donate it after controlling the secret realm, and the 'Tiandao Sect' is no exception.
With the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ leading the ‘Misty World’ in front, it becomes increasingly clear that the ‘Tiandao Sect’ is extremely selfish.
There was a hint of embarrassment on the faces of many representatives of high-grade sects around him. Although Zhang Ke was targeting Dao Lord of Destruction, the same was true for other high-grade sects.
However, many leaders of middle and low-level sects were greatly relieved. After thousands of years of oppression, how could other sects not have resentments, but they just didn't dare to show up.
In the world of spiritual practice, Zhang Ke may be the only one who dares to satirize the top sect so directly.
Zhang Ke continued:
"The safety of the realm is indeed related to each of our sects and everyone.
However, we cannot kidnap morality, exploit sects all over the world in the name of righteousness, and make other sects pay while we ourselves enjoy the benefits.
Therefore, the promotion of the sect by destroying the fellow Taoist organizations will end in an anticlimactic manner."
After a brief pause, Zhang Ke continued:
"I believe that everything in the world cannot escape two words.
One is ‘love’ and the other is ‘profit’.
There is no need to elaborate on the word ‘love’, let’s just talk about the word ‘profit’.
It is said that everything in the world is for benefit, and everything in the world is for benefit.
Everyone in the world knows that our sect is wealthy, but everyone here please think about it.
In our transactions with various sects, have we ever engaged in unfair transactions relying on our strength or for any other reason?"
The numerous sect leaders around were slightly startled, but they had never thought about this.
Thinking back carefully at this time, I have never suffered any unfair treatment in my dealings with the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ over the years.
Even in many cases, the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong’ still makes concessions to benefit themselves.
It's just that because they have become accustomed to the practice of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', many sects did not notice anything strange.
At this moment, after Zhang Ke mentioned it, many sect leaders felt this.
Zhang Ke and others discussed softly for a while, then continued:
“We have always believed that if we want to make long-term transactions, we must resolutely implement three principles.
First, both parties benefit.
Since it is a transaction, both parties to the transaction must benefit. This is the basis.
Second, it is voluntary.
Transactions cannot be forced, they must be reached voluntarily by both parties, and they cannot exploit the other party through various changes.
For example, a certain sect is in urgent need of medicine and food relief due to a sudden natural or man-made disaster.
We cannot take the opportunity to raise prices. Although this will increase profits, it will lose people's hearts and violate the principles of trading. This is the key point.
Third, credibility.
This is fundamental. Reputation is divided into two aspects, one is the quality of the goods, and the other is the image established by the sect.
For hundreds of years, our sect has been adhering to these three principles in its transactions with sects all over the world, I believe everyone should have some experience, right?"
The Dao Lord of Destruction felt a little bad.
Since the beginning of the conference today, the rhythm of the conference has been under Zhang Ke's control.
After several arguments and representations, not only did they not find out the mistakes of Ruyi Daojun and the "Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong" who destroyed the spiritual mechanism of heaven and earth.
On the contrary, it has greatly changed the impressions of many sect leaders on Ruyi Daojun and the Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect, and even deepened their favorable impressions of the Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect.
This is very bad. The practitioners present today come from all high-level sects in the world. Being recognized by them means that they have been recognized by the entire practice world.
I can no longer follow Ruyi Daojun's rhythm.
"Ahem!"
The Lord of Destruction coughed twice to interrupt Zhang Ke's words, and said in a deep voice:
"Master Ruyi, what we are discussing today is the matter of damaging the spiritual power of heaven and earth. There is no need to elaborate on the business history of Nanzong here.
No matter how good your sect's business is, it won't give a single cent to the sects here, so what's the point."
Zhang Ke smiled ‘haha’, shook his head and sighed:
"I have said so much, but Daoist Brother Broken Destruction still fails to understand the meaning of my words.
Alas~~, so shallow!”
The Dao Lord of Destruction was furious. This was the second time today that Zhang Ke had ridiculed himself.
Just when he was about to speak angrily, he heard Zhang Kerang say:
"Masters, I just discussed the three principles of trading, in fact, it is to set a tone for the next "open source" action in this industry.
Interest, voluntariness, credibility!
Please keep these three words in mind for everyone here."
Then Zhang Ke took a breath and said:
"If this world wants to "open source" to enhance the origin of the realm, it can only integrate the secret realm or the small world with the world from the outside.
The pulling plan implemented by Lord Shattering Dao was very well intentioned, but unfortunately, because he and others were too selfish, the sects in the world did not benefit from it and ultimately it was abandoned.
Now our sect has a plan to implement, which is also to bring the secret realm and other worlds to integrate with this world, but the core of this plan is that the world sects can profit from it.
I wonder if any of you present would be interested?"
In fact, since Zhang Ke mentioned the words "increase revenue and reduce expenditure", many sect leaders present have realized what Zhang Ke wants to do.
But no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out where to find the secret realm or the small world.
With the strength of Ruyi Dao Lord and the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong', we may be able to obtain some coordinate anchors of secret realms and small thousand worlds, but if we want to upgrade the realm, it cannot be achieved by fusing dozens or hundreds of secret realms.
.
What's more, no one believes that the "Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect" will be so selfless and will contribute all the secret realms it controls, otherwise the "Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect" will not be a ninth-grade sect in name only.
"Of course I'm interested. I don't know what Ruyi Dao Lord is going to do. Dingzhou Lianyun Dao Sect is willing to join Jiwei!"
As soon as Zhang Ke finished speaking, a soft voice sounded from the venue.
Everyone heard the voice and looked at each other, only to see that the person speaking was a female cultivator from the Lianyun Dao Sect in the Dingzhou area in the seventh ring seat.
This female cultivator is wearing a wedding red robe, with exquisite facial features, skin as white as jade, and a vertical red mark between her eyebrows, adding a bit of charm.
Although she occupies the seventh ring seat, this woman's cultivation is at the level of a Dao Lord, and she is very eye-catching among the many "Three Flowers" Yuanshen True Lords around her.
This woman is none other than Qi Ge, the 'Red Witch' who went on a killing spree after returning to Lianyun Dao Sect.
Qi Ge smiled and gave Zhang Kefei a wink, who turned his gaze, and continued:
"No matter what plan you have, we will definitely give you our full support."
From Qi Ge's words, everyone could hear a hint of intimacy.
Many sect leaders looked at each other in confusion. What is the charm of this Ruyi Dao Lord? He actually captured the heart of another Dao Lord.
Nowadays, the total number of Dao Lords in the Azure Realm is only over 600, and among them there are no more than a hundred female cultivators. However, the number of female cultivators with outstanding looks and powerful Dao Lords can be counted with both hands.
Qi Ge is one of them.
In the past few years, many Taoist masters from high-ranking sects have expressed their feelings for Qi Ge, but they were ignored by him. However, unexpectedly, she showed her closeness to Zhang Ke at this moment.
Some sect leaders quietly took out the 'sound transmission bell', secretly spread the news, and ordered the sect members to inquire about the relationship between Qi Ge and Zhang Ke.
Soon, one message after another was fed back.
"In his early years, Mr. Ruyi Dao, together with the 'Red Witch' Qi Ge, were used as food by the snake demon 'Mrs. Mi Shen' Diao Pan'er.
It is said that Diao Paner ate men in the morning and women in the evening.
Both of them were captured at the beginning. During this period, hundreds of people were captured by the snake demon, but these two were the only ones who survived in the end.
Presumably the friendship between the two was established back then.’
Among the numerous news, there is also Zhang Ke's incident of causing trouble in Lianyun Dao Sect and helping Qi Ge escape from the realm.
The Blue World is so big that no one would associate Qi Ge with Zhang Ke until his relationship with Zhang Ke was revealed.
Only after Qi Ge showed his closeness to Zhang Ke, many sect leaders would vigilantly collect relevant information.
Zhang Ke's scalp was numb at this moment. If Qingmei saw Qi Ge's ambiguous posture at this moment, wouldn't he be in trouble?
Although he and Qi Ge are innocent, due to his bad reputation, no one will believe him even if he says it.
Zhang Ke no longer manipulated everyone present with words, and said directly:
"Our plan is actually very simple.
I wonder if all the leaders still remember the portals that connect this realm to many worlds outside the realm?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Nothing can be said clearly without words, and nothing can be said clearly without words.
Through Zhang Ke's many preparations before, and the sudden mention of the entrance to the extraterritorial portal at this moment, everyone present did not know what Zhang Ke was thinking.
Many sect leaders couldn't help but say "Oh" in unison, and some people also whispered "I see" and other words.
‘Buzz——!’
There was a roar in Daojun Destruction's mind.
'Damn, damn, damn!'
He kept scolding in his heart, but even he didn't quite understand whether he was scolding Zhang Ke or himself.
Some things are like window paper. Without breaking it, everyone is blinded. But when it is broken, you suddenly realize that the truth is right in front of you.
But it is precisely the person who broke the window paper that is the most critical.
At this time, Lord Dao of Destruction has fully understood Zhang Ke's intention. He clearly wants to integrate these worlds connected to this world into the realm.
But...
But you can also take the lead in accomplishing this!
If this matter is completed under his own auspices, and the realm is promoted to the great world as a result.
Then, with the feedback of the merits of heaven and earth, it will be easy for you to advance to the realm of Taoist Master.
The Tao Te Sect has been doing this kind of thing for thousands of years and has a deep understanding of its benefits.
At that time, just by converting spiritual stones into 'talisman money', the 'Daode Sect' suddenly became the best sect in the world from an unpopular sect.
If we can take charge of this matter again now, the 'Tiandao Sect' may not be able to become the second 'Daode Sect'.
With his mood rippling, Taoist Lord Broken Destruction is about to open his mouth to seize the right to dominate the Fusion Realm.
At this moment, someone suddenly said loudly:
"Master Ruyi, we have a rough idea of your plan. Do you want to integrate the many worlds connected to this world with this world?"
The person speaking at this moment is True Lord Fei Ya of the ‘White Feather Sect’.
Zhang Ke nodded and said:
"Exactly!"
Fei Yazhenjun continued:
"Since we want to integrate other realms into our own realm, it means starting a war with these worlds connected to our own realm.
Who will organize this plan, and who will ensure the interests of the sects in the world?"
Having said this, Master Feiya decided to give it his all and try again.
The era of great strife is coming. Whether you can seize the opportunity to make your sect take off may depend on your performance at this moment.
Taking a deep breath, Master Feiya said in a sharp tone:
"Back then, when the Taoist Lord of Destruction organized the organization to lead the secret realm, things were done unfairly, and the sects of the world did not gain any benefits from it.
War can kill people. If the matter is still handled by the high-ranking sects such as Dao Jun of Destruction, I am worried that in the end, even if the low-ranking sects in the world suffer heavy losses, they may not be able to profit from it.
This may even affect the enthusiasm of sects in the world to implement this plan. The promotion of sects back then is the best lesson for others.
I think the noble sect, that is, the "Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect" can take charge of launching this project.
There are several reasons why I say this.
First, although the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ is now powerful, it is still a ninth-grade sect in name, and the noble sect has grown from scratch step by step.
I believe that there is no other sect in the world that can better understand the situation of our middle- and lower-rank sects than the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’.
Secondly, in the past hundreds of years, when dealing with sects all over the world, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' has never exploited or exploited them, even when dealing with sects and casual cultivators who did not enter the Pindian.
The reputation of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ is obvious to all in the entire azure world.
Third, the implementation of this plan requires a person who is absolutely powerful, upright, and has sufficient knowledge of this plan.
Otherwise, this plan may be misrecited by the crooked-mouthed monk.
Based on the above points, I think there is no other person or sect in this world who is more suitable to preside over the implementation of this plan than Sect Master Yi and the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’.”
Feiya Zhenjun spoke very fast. When Daoist Master realized that his words were not good for him, he could no longer stop him.
Now there are representatives of 2,400 sects from all over the world here. Forcibly blocking them will only put themselves into an unfavorable situation.
Therefore, even if he hated Master Feiya very much at this moment, he could only let him finish his words and then argue.
But after Master Feiya made an impassioned speech, Master Dao of Destruction didn't know where to refute.
And it was at this moment that he realized that everything Zhang Ke had said before was actually foreshadowing, all prepared to win the approval of others at this moment.
'Haha, the words 'interests, voluntariness, and credibility' are just excuses.'
But he also had to admit that the reputation of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' was like a sharp blade at the moment, enough to cut through all obstacles.
Zhang Ke was secretly surprised. This time he had indeed arranged for someone to add fuel to the flames, but it was definitely not Lord Feiya.
However, the effect is better this way. Everyone present is a smart person, and it can be seen at a glance whether it has been arranged in advance.
As Lord Feiya made these remarks, many sect leaders around him started talking in low voices.
"I think Lord Feiya is right. The matter of realm promotion is so important, and only Lord Ruyi is qualified to take charge of this matter. After all, no one knows how to unfold this matter better than the person who proposed this plan.
"
"Everyone, there are countless portals connecting this world to the outside world. They have been guarded by sects all over the world for thousands of years. The ones who know the most about these external worlds are the sects guarding each portal.
No realm wants to be fused and swallowed up. This plan will definitely cause countless casualties to all sects and factions in the world.
Therefore, in my opinion, it is not important who takes the lead in this matter. What is important is who can bring benefits to us and reduce the losses of our disciples.
However, judging from the past actions of the above-mentioned sect, I really feel that it would be more reassuring to have the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ preside over this plan.”
“I also think it is more secure for the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ to preside over this plan.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At least for the past hundreds of years, the 'Xiantian Yiqi South Sect' has been preparing to resist the 'Xianmen', whether it is the pattern or the long-term vision, even if
Even a top-grade sect cannot compare with it.
Moreover, if the "Xiantian Yiqi South Sect" presides over this project, we may be able to obtain more precious secrets and knowledge, and maybe even get help from the "Xiantian Yiqi South Sect" in various war weapons.
.”
"Well, what my fellow Taoist said is very much what I like, and the reputation of the Xiantian Yiqi South Sect is very good. In the past hundreds of years of transactions with our sect, there has been no bullying behavior.
As Ruyi Daojun said, voluntary participation is the long-term solution for both parties to benefit.
Since the sect values its reputation so highly, it is unlikely that it will give up its own ideals just for some small gain.
What's more, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' is so rich, there is no need to worry that it will exploit and squeeze our sects."
"Very true, very true!"
"..."
The Dao Lord of Destruction was currently communicating with many high-ranking sects, discussing how to seize the leadership of the Fusion Plan.
But after hearing that almost all the comments in the meeting were in favor of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', he understood that he could not continue to let the comments ferment.
After quickly reaching agreements with several high-ranking sects, the Dao Lord of Destruction said in a deep voice:
"quiet!"
The thunderous sound shook everyone's ears, and the 'Cloud Sea Rooftop' suddenly became quiet.
The Lord of Destruction said bluntly:
"Head Ruyi is indeed very thoughtful in proposing this plan, but this matter is related to the promotion of the realm and is of great importance.
I think it would be more appropriate for a sect with similar experience to host this project.
I am not boasting, my sect has been planning for realm advancement since thousands of years ago.
Yes, I admit that I made some omissions in leading the secret realm in the previous series, but it is precisely because of this that we can learn lessons and prevent similar mistakes from happening again.
I have just discussed with representatives of other high-ranking sects.
Since all the sect leaders are now undecided between their own sect and the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’, it is better to make a decision based on past practices.
Vote!”
Speaking of this, Lord Dao Destruction added:
"Given the importance of this matter, this vote will no longer be conducted anonymously."
The more than two thousand sect leaders in the Nine Rings seats looked at each other in shock.
The action of Lord Dao Destruction is clearly a threat.
Now that he has said this, which sect in the world dares to go against the many high-ranking sects in this world.
The top sects have formed a tacit understanding and alliance with each other for thousands of years, which is the main reason why they can dominate the world.
The situation instantly turned unfavorable to Zhang Ke.
But at this moment, Zhang Ke suddenly found that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had arrived.
"hehe!"
First he attracted the attention of everyone present with a chuckle, then Zhang Ke looked around and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, the matter of merging the world is unusual. Any wrong decision may cause heavy damage to the disciples of your sect, so please think twice before making a decision.
Besides, you don’t have to worry about threats from various high-ranking sects.”
Zhang Ke took out a willow branch from his arms and placed it in front of him, with a solemn expression:
"I, Zhang Ke, my Taoist name is Keji, and the name given by heaven and earth is 'Ruyi'. I am currently the head of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' in Laizhou, Eastern Region.
Today I swear an oath to heaven:
From today on, if any sect or sect is suppressed or persecuted by any sect after voting, I and the "Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect" will be regarded as lifelong enemies.
Regardless of whether it is a single high-grade sect or the combined efforts of all high-grade sects in this world, this sect will fight to the death."
Then Zhang Ke folded his hands and broke the willow branch in his hand into two pieces.
"Boom--!"
When Zhang Ke made the oath of heaven with his heart, mind and will, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the clear and cloudless sky.
The 2,400 sect representatives present clearly saw a large heavenly net spread out above Zhang Ke's head.
As Zhang Ke uttered his oath, the words in his mouth formed characters one by one and merged into this great web of heaven.
Two thousand four hundred practitioners looked at the person who took the oath in front of them with trembling hearts.
This Ruyi Daojun clearly wants to fight against the best sects in the world with his own strength!
The expression on Lord Dao Destruction's expression was extremely ugly.
If anyone dared to speak like this, Lord Dao Destruction would dare to kill him in front of thousands of sect leaders.
But the person who spoke happened to be Ruyi Taojun.
The two great swordsmen Qingmei and Qin Qing were beside them, the eighty-one Zerg leaders, and the thirty-six demon kings obeyed their orders, plus the current powerful strength of the "Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect" and the network of relationships woven by the sect.
At least two hundred Dao Lords must be dispatched to defeat it, and if you want to kill it, the number will probably double.
But under his desperate counterattack, how much more will the Dao Lord who surrounded and killed Zhang Ke fall?
What's more, this person also has the 'Golden Wheel of Morality' to protect his body. In addition, he is also the master of a certain layer of the Netherworld.
If it cannot be completely killed, there will be endless troubles.
At this time, Lord Dao of Destruction still didn’t know that Zhang Ke’s ‘Moral Golden Wheel’ had disappeared.
The Tao Lord of Destruction understood that his wishful thinking had failed. Now no Tao Lord of the top-grade sect dares to directly oppose the Tao Lord of Ruyi.
Even his own persecution has invisibly pushed most of the middle and low-level sects in this world into the embrace of the "Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect".
After Zhang Ke finished swearing, he looked around with a smile and said:
