The next vote was just as Taoist Lord Broken Destruction had expected, with almost 90% of the middle and lower-rank sects choosing the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’.
Among the top-grade sects, except for the Netherworld Sect in the Northern Territory, all the others defected to the Southern Sect, while some top-grade sects in the other four major regions also chose Zhang Ke to preside over the world integration plan.
Under the general trend, Mr. Dao of Destruction has no way to make a comeback. Since the vote was initiated by him, he can only bear the consequences himself.
It has been confirmed that Zhang Kelai will lead the world integration plan, and everyone should ask clearly for the relevant details.
Xiaoyao Daojun was the first to ask.
"Master Ruyi, I wonder if this world-melting plan has specific regulations. How can the world's sects cooperate?"
Zhang Ke looked at the people around him and said in a deep voice:
"Before deciding to implement the integration plan, there are two things that need to be dealt with.
The first thing is to relieve the worries of each sect.
Since the death of the seven leaders of the 'Rogue Cultivators Alliance', the world's casual cultivators have lost control.
Especially in recent years, numerous loose cultivators have come and gone like rogue bandits, wreaking havoc in all directions, causing great harm to sects and people all over the world.
The matter of merging the world is no small matter. Dragons and snakes are mixed among the casual cultivators, and it is impossible to say that there is an "immortal gate" hidden in it.
At such an important juncture, we can no longer tolerate these casual cultivators causing trouble and disrupting the order of the practice world.
I propose to integrate the scattered cultivators in the world and make them available to all sects."
Zhang Ke's words immediately touched the hearts of many sect leaders present.
Today, he and others were already looking for ways to resolve the chaos in the practice world, but they did not expect that Zhang Ke would actually make this matter his top priority.
Based on this alone, the heads of various sects felt that it was very worthwhile to vote for Zhang Ke.
‘Nine Layers Gate’ Lord Nushi asked loudly:
"Master Ruyi, I wonder how the various sects and factions need to cooperate?"
Zhang Ke nodded lightly towards Lord Nushi and said in a deep voice:
"First of all, each high-grade sect can no longer distribute the sect's refining tasks downwards..."
Xiaoyao Daojun interjected:
"Master Ruyi, our high-grade sects are refining war weapons and 'floating flying boats' in order to fight against the 'immortal sect' in the future, and have invested countless resources in this early stage.
It's easy for you to touch your upper and lower lips like this, but isn't the early investment of each high-ranking sect in vain?
Furthermore, since thousands of years ago, the sects in various states and territories have been under the jurisdiction of high-ranking sects, so it’s not appropriate for you to interfere in this way, isn’t it?”
Taojun Tianhua also said:
"That's right, thousands of years of rules can't be changed by your will."
Zhang Ke turned his eyes to Daojun Xiaoyao. Under his gaze, Daojun Xiaoyao instantly felt tremendous pressure.
"The Fusion Plan requires the coordination of the sects in the world. Before the Fusion Plan is completed, the sects in the world no longer need to obey the orders of the top sects in each state.
After the integration plan is completed, the sects in the world will return to the management of the top sects in each state."
As soon as this statement came out, the expressions of many representatives of high-ranking sects present changed, and several people immediately wanted to refute it.
Zhang Ke's move is clearly to deprive the high-ranking sects of their control over the sects within their territory.
Some things are easy to let go of, but not so easy to pick up again.
Once this hole is opened, these middle and low-grade sects will never return to the control of high-grade sects.
The Taoist Lord of Destruction looked at the faces of everyone around him and sneered secretly in his heart.
He had already seen the wolfish ambition of Ruyi Dao Lord. He had been discussing with the representatives of the top sects not to let Zhang Ke take power, but these people were short-sighted and did not take his words seriously at all.
Now the bitter fruit has fallen on you, but it depends on how you deal with it.
In addition to the representatives of high-ranking sects, many other middle- and low-ranking sect leaders showed happy faces.
However, they and others knew that this measure was undoubtedly robbing the sixty high-grade sects in the Azure Realm of control over the local sects, and they did not believe that Zhang Ke could carry out this measure.
However, even if Zhang Ke was unable to carry out this move, many sect leaders still recognized it a little more.
In any case, Zhang Ke is indeed thinking about the middle and lower-rank sects.
No one doubts that Zhang Ke is putting on a show, because judging from Zhang Ke's consistent behavior, he never cares about other people's opinions.
Zhang Ke also saw the expressions of many representatives of high-grade sects. He raised his right hand slightly, and dozens of talisman papers flew out of his sleeves, slowly throwing them at the representatives of high-grade sects.
Since Zhang Ke did not act quickly, dozens of Dao Lords naturally knew that Zhang Ke's move was not malicious, and they all took the talisman paper in their hands.
Zhang Ke said calmly:
"Everyone, we are all practitioners, and the purpose of practice is to achieve transcendence and freedom.
Please think about it carefully, how much benefit can the large and small sects in the territory bring to your sect?
At best, they are just ordinary resources and talisman money.
But do top-level sects really lack these resources?"
After Zhang Ke asked a simple question, he continued:
"There is no sect under our name, but it has continued to grow and develop over the past hundreds of years.
Time is always beating forward, and the times are constantly improving. Our practitioners' concepts must also change accordingly to avoid being eliminated.
You are guarding the land of a state and collecting tributes from the large and small sects in the territory. How is this different from the secular world landlords guarding one-third of an acre to collect rent?"
Master Fei Ya was sitting in the Seven Rings, and he almost laughed out loud after hearing these words, and the expressions of everyone around him were also slightly strange.
Just listen to Zhang Ke continue:
"The formula I just passed on to you was obtained after the destruction of the 'Vajra Sect', and it is called 'Creation Chengyuan Nectar'.
This 'Nectar of Creation and Origin' can enlighten the True Lord of the Yuanshen and trigger the 'Heaven Gate' that breaks through the realm of the Tao Lord.
A total of 108 kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures are needed to refine this elixir, and its core elixir is the 'Three Treasures Wishful Fruit' and 'Peach'.
It is precisely for these two core elixirs that the 'Vajra Sect' launches an attack on our sect.
Today I give this recipe to you as a reward for your sects not being in control of the local sects.
Of course, if any high-grade sect is unwilling to give up the control of the local sect, it can return this formula now, and I will not force it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Ke’s words instantly made ‘Yunhai Tiantai’ explode.
The formula of the elixir that could enlighten the True Lord Yuanshen and trigger the 'Heaven's Gate', Ruyi Dao Lord actually contributed it in such a majestic manner.
As practitioners, especially Yuanshen Zhenjun, no one knows the preciousness of this formula better than them.
Although ringing the 'Heaven's Gate' does not necessarily lead to the achievement of Tao Lord, the fact that it can ring the 'Heaven's Gate' and make True Lord Yuanshen realize the opportunity to break through to Tao Lord makes this formula priceless.
The numerous Dongtian Realm Yuanshen True Lords present looked at the hands of the Dao Lords with blazing eyes. In terms of desire for this formula, it is undoubtedly these Dongtian Realm Lords who are struggling to find a breakthrough opportunity.
Some smart-minded people tasted other information from Zhang Ke's words.
The formula is important, but it may not be possible to refine the elixir with the formula. If not, Ruyi Daojun would not be able to make this formula public so generously.
Most of the Yuanshen True Monarchs don't know what the 'Three Treasures of Wish-Wishful Fruit' and 'Peach Peach' are, but these two core elixirs are undoubtedly very precious.
Moreover, these two elixirs must also be in the hands of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’.
Otherwise, a high-grade sect like the 'King Kong Sect' would not have launched a brazen attack on the 'Xiantian Yiqi South Sect' just for these two elixirs, eventually leading to the annihilation of the sect.
And since the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong' has these two elixirs in its hands, is it possible that it has been able to refine the 'Good Fortune Chengyuan Nectar'?
If you join the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’, will you have a chance to obtain such elixirs?
Soon, everyone present also realized that Ruyi Daojun's move was not only to use this as a bait to win over the high-ranking sects, but also to threaten the high-ranking sects.
'This sect can mass-produce Dao Lord, do you really decide to fight against this sect?'
‘If you make good friends with this sect, you may not be unable to trade after refining the elixir.’
Xiaoyao Daojun and others can naturally see Zhang Ke's intentions, but so what if they do.
The formula in their hands only has the names of one hundred and eight kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but there is no specific refining method.
If you want to deduce the refining method from these heavenly materials and earthly treasures, you must go through countless tests.
But even top-grade sects would not dare to consume such precious spiritual materials wantonly, not to mention the 'Three Treasures of Wishful Fruit' and 'Flat Peach', which are rare treasures.
Zhang Ke's move really struck a chord with everyone.
Everyone looked at the silent Dao Lord quietly. It had been a long time since anyone had returned the formula to Ruyi Dao Lord.
Everyone's mood gradually improved and they were very grateful to Zhang Ke.
Unexpectedly, Ruyi Dao Lord actually won the opportunity for the lower-ranking sects in the world to escape the control of the higher-ranking sects. Regardless of whether he had other intentions, he had to accept this feeling.
In fact, Zhang Ke was hesitant about giving away this recipe at first.
He always felt that this formula was a trap set by the 'Vajra Sect', but he could never figure out what the key was.
It was later that Xu Qingzhi accidentally mentioned that this formula must not be known to outsiders to avoid attracting covetousness. Zhang Kecai suddenly understood and understood the plan of the 'Vajra Sect'.
Although the 'King Kong Sect' was destroyed and most of its disciples were captured by the 'Xiantian Yiqi South Sect', there must still be disciples of the 'King Kong Sect' in the world.
If the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect' hides the 'Nectar of Creation Chengyuan' in its hands, at a certain critical moment in the future, the remnants of the 'Vajra Sect' will definitely make this matter public.
And in the world, as long as he is the True Lord of Yuanshen, no one can resist such temptation, especially Lord Dong Tianzhen.
When the time comes, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' will inevitably become the target of public criticism. If the timing chosen is good enough, it may even cause the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' to be destroyed.
Therefore, Zhang Ke decided to make the formula public in advance after careful consideration.
There are three advantages to doing this. First, it can avoid being coveted. When the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the formula are made public, some sects that are unable to refine them will give up their thoughts.
Second, it can attract some sects to move closer to the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ for their own use.
The third benefit is that it can divide the relationship between high-grade sects and provide threats. When the formula is made public, some high-grade sects will definitely come into contact with the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’.
After a long time, Taoist Xiaoyao asked in a solemn voice:
"Master Ruyi, don't you know that the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' can refine the 'Good Fortune Chengyuan Nectar'?"
Zhang Ke understood that Taoist Xiaoyao was questioning the authenticity of the formula, shook his head and said:
"Isn't elixir easy to refine? Not to mention how difficult it is to collect the materials, the refining level of the alchemist is also very high.
Since we obtained this formula, we have been deriving the formula and have not yet refined it."
‘Oh~!’
The Dao Lord of Destruction and others felt a little relieved. It was undoubtedly good news that the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' could not refine the 'Good Fortune Chengyuan Nectar' for the time being.
But once the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' completely masters this formula, with the financial resources and capabilities of the sect, I am afraid that a large number of Dao Lords will appear.
Heavy pressure weighed on the hearts of Daojun Daojie and others like a boulder.
Zhang Ke glanced around.
"Since no one has returned the formula, the provision of temporary overall management of the sect will be passed.
Next, I will talk about the strategy for integrating the world's scattered cultivators. If you have different opinions, you can always raise them."
Zhang Ke paused briefly and then said:
"Everyone is responsible for the safety of the realm. The plan to integrate the realm requires the participation of all practitioners in this realm. Since casual practitioners are also practitioners, there should be no exception.
I propose that after the meeting, all the sects in the world put pressure on the casual cultivators at the same time.
All rogue cultivators who have had outstanding bad deeds will be arrested. When the world-melting plan is launched, these rogue cultivators with bad deeds will be the first batch of people to break the boundary."
‘Sss~~! So cruel!’
The heads of the various sects immediately understood the intention of Zhang Ke's move, which was clearly to let the casual cultivators be used as spies.
However, this was a good thing for all sects, so no one spoke against it.
"However, let me make it clear in advance that these first batch of world-breaking cultivators are the ones who have actually committed the Seven Deadly Sins.
Every casual cultivator arrested must be confirmed with sufficient evidence, and our sect will review this together with all high-grade sects.
If there is a sect that arbitrarily seizes casual cultivators with good character to make up for their numbers, I will rank their sect as the first in the world-breaking sequence until all the members of that sect have perished."
Zhang Ke's words instantly dispelled many people's uncomfortable thoughts.
"Secondly, I hope that the sects in the world can open their mountain gates to accept casual cultivators with good character.
Of course, this is only a suggestion and is not enforceable, and even if you accept casual cultivators, it must be voluntary on both sides."
Upon hearing this suggestion, everyone present's eyes lit up unconsciously.
This is a great opportunity to enhance the strength of the sect.
Why the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ has grown to its current level in just a few hundred years, apart from its own reasons, is it because it has taken in countless practitioners from the outside world to become strong.
If you don’t know how to pioneer and innovate, don’t you know how to imitate others?
Many sect leaders were whispering in low voices, analyzing the pros and cons.
Suddenly someone asked:
"Master Ruyi, what should I do if some casual cultivators are dissatisfied with this suggestion and boycott it?"
Zhang Ke said calmly:
"We are also acting like this to fight against the catastrophe of the 'Immortal Sect'. The casual cultivators do not need to join the sect, but if they openly provoke and cause trouble, they will be treated as if they are the work of the 'Immortal Sect'."
Although Zhang Ke's tone was calm, the murderous intent in his words made everyone present tremble.
Once this resolution takes effect, innocent people will die tragically among casual cultivators in the world.
While everyone lamented Zhang Ke's ruthlessness, they could not help but secretly admire his courage.
After directly setting the tone for this, Zhang Ke looked around and saw that no one spoke to object, so he continued:
"Integrating casual cultivators is the first step before launching the World Fusion Plan. My second proposal is..."
Zhang Ke took a breath and said word by word:
"I suggest increasing the number of high-level sects. There is no upper limit. Anyone who is the True Lord of Yuanshen can initiate the proposal to establish a high-level sect."
"This...doesn't this cause chaos in the world?"
"The number of top-grade sects has been limited for a long time. How can we increase or decrease it at will? This is absolutely not allowed!"
"Is establishing a sect a child's play? Where is the extra 'cash cow'?
Where do the residents of the territory come from? Where do the disciples come from?"
"That's right, this move is very inappropriate. We need to advise Mr. Ruyi Dao."
"..."
This time, no one from the high-ranking sects spoke up to object, but the middle- and lower-ranked sects had quite a lot of opinions.
But this is normal. Since you want to establish a sect, you must have a mountain gate station. Almost all areas in the world are already controlled by various sects.
The establishment of a new sect must be divided from the territories of each sect. If this happens, the interests of each sect will be greatly affected, and naturally they will not agree.
As everyone discussed, the noise became louder and louder.
Yuan Jinting shouted in a deep voice at the fence:
