The roar of the sword spirit immediately silenced the ‘Yunhai Tiantai’.
Zhang Ke's face was as dark as water, and he looked around for a long time without saying anything.
The atmosphere on the ‘Sea of Clouds Rooftop’ suddenly became tense. After a while, Zhang Kecai said in a deep voice:
"You all are in charge of the same profession, why are you so uncontrollable when things happen to you?
If you have any different opinions, please wait until I finish speaking before I can argue."
After a brief pause, Zhang Ke continued:
"There are thousands of worlds that need to be integrated into this world in the World Fusion Plan. Not only the spiritual world, but also the secular world needs to go all out to participate.
But without enough benefits, why should countless practitioners in the world obey orders willingly?"
Zhenjun Jiangyun, the fourth-grade sect in Laizhou, ‘Yueyue Sect’, opened his mouth and said:
"Master Ruyi, establishing a high-grade sect requires a 'money tree' to gather fortune, and it also requires territory and people.
Nowadays, due to the recovery of spiritual power in this world, a large number of True Lords of Yuanshen have appeared. If a large number of high-level sects are born, it will inevitably affect the interests of existing high-level sects. How are you going to coordinate this matter?"
True Lord Jiangyun has always been on good terms with the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’. Her questioning at this time was not to make things difficult, but to give Zhang Ke a chance to explain.
Zhang Ke nodded towards True Lord Jiangyun and explained:
"Everyone, there are tens of thousands of unqualified sects in this world. In addition, there are also a large number of cultivating families and casual cultivators.
If we can fully mobilize the power of this part of the cultivators, we can minimize the losses suffered by our disciples during boundary-breaking actions.
As for the 'money trees', territory, and people needed to establish a high-level sect, it is not a problem.
The 'money tree' can be cut off from the 'money tree' of a high-grade sect. This will not damage the foundation of the sect's 'money tree'. This is what our sect did back then.
Moreover, the ‘money tree’ cannot be given away for free, the sect that wants to obtain it must pay a certain amount of compensation.
This reward can be treasures, resources, or continuous benefits. You can discuss the specific plan yourself.
Generally speaking, even sects and families that are not qualified have territories and people, and will not take away the interests of existing sects that are qualified.
Only rogue cultivators do not have territory and people. If there is such a True Lord of Yuanshen who wants to establish a high-level sect, his territory and people can be obtained from other realms, which will not infringe on the interests of existing sects.
.
Since there are only advantages and no disadvantages, I don’t understand why you are so resistant?”
Many sect leaders looked at each other in confusion. They always felt that something was wrong, but they could not find the loophole in Zhang Ke's words, so they gathered together to discuss in low voices.
Mao Yuan, the fourth-rank sect in the Southern Territory, the ‘Yunyan Sect’, looked around for a few times, then cupped his hands to Zhang Ke and said:
"Master Ruyi, what is the significance of establishing a high-level sect on such a large scale?"
Zhang Ke couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Mao Yuan. This man's questions were quite good.
"In my opinion, there is no need for inferior sects to exist in the world.
As long as they can meet the entry requirements, they should be given the corresponding sect grade.
Everyone should know that the 'money tree' can condense the sect's luck and merit, and can also feed back the original power to the realm.
But the source of feedback is relative. The more you invest in the realm, the more the realm will feedback.
It's like farming, the more seeds you sow in the spring, the more food you can harvest in the fall.
But just two thousand four hundred 'money trees' can gather so much original power for the sect and the realm.
If all the sects in the world have a 'money tree' to determine their destiny and gather fortune, when these sects grow up, the speed at which the world can gather its origins will increase tens of thousands of times.
Moreover, the luck and merit fed back from the realm will also increase accordingly.
Now, are there any sects that oppose the establishment of a high-level sect?"
The Taoist Lord of Destruction looked at Zhang Ke dumbfounded. If the jealousy in his heart could be turned into flames, it would have turned itself into ashes at this moment.
Why have I never thought about expanding the number of high-grade sects in the past?
Why was such an important point pointed out by Ruyi Daojun?
In fact, this is a kind of intellectual disability!
Lord Chuan Mie Dao was born in the "Taode Sect". Like all sects in the world, the idea he accepted since childhood was to strengthen the sect.
Our own sect grew up in the struggle between other sects. When the sect gradually became stronger, in order to maintain the status of our own sect, we naturally began to suppress other sects.
After suppressing other sects became a habit, Dao Jun of Destruction never thought of expanding the number of high-grade sects.
This is also the main reason why the number of high-grade sects in the Azure Realm is so small.
After being exposed by Zhang Ke's words at this time, the regret in Dao Jun's heart could not be washed away by the water of the three rivers and five lakes.
After Zhang Ke said this, it was hard for the sect leaders to object.
And what Zhang Ke said before is somewhat true. If these newly established sects want to grow their sects, they must try their best in breaking the boundary.
This can indeed reduce the losses of disciples of various sects. In comparison, the loss of some profits is completely negligible.
Zhang Ke waited for the discussion to subside before continuing:
"The catastrophe of the 'Immortal Sect' may come at any time, and the plan to merge the world cannot be delayed.
If no one objects, we will first integrate all the forces in this world through the two things of 'integrating casual cultivators' and 'entering the sect'.
Now, if there is nothing else, please return to your sect and wait for orders. After three days, all sects will make an announcement.
Let’s break up!”
As Zhang Ke announced the dismissal of the meeting, 2,400 sect representatives stood up one after another, saluted Zhang Ke and then dispersed.
The content of today's meeting is actually not much, there are only three things: "Integration Plan", "Integration of Loose Cultivators" and "Sect Entrance".
But it brings many feelings to everyone’s hearts.
Through this sect meeting, Zhang Ke truly established his position in the spiritual practice world and officially passed on the concept of "Innate One Qi Southern Sect" to the outside world.
'Go against heaven!'
This is the word that Zhang Ke mentioned the most in today's meeting.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the Azure Realm, the Eastern Region is the region with the most cultivators and the strongest overall strength.
Due to the inheritance left by the "immortal cultivators", the concepts that the cultivators have always adhered to are more "Taoist".
'Tao follows nature!'
For countless years, these four words have been the concept that has been instilled in every practitioner since childhood, and they have basically practiced around these four words throughout their lives.
The ultimate goal of a practitioner is to achieve transcendence, especially after becoming a high-level practitioner, the understanding of the 'Tao' will also deepen step by step.
With the progress of the times and the accumulation of inheritance from generation to generation, practitioners are constantly self-reflecting during their practice, and some people gradually have doubts about the four words "Tao follows nature".
The core concept of "Tao follows nature" is to follow the laws of the development of things themselves. Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and Tao follows nature.
It means that "Tao" is endless, it not only generates all things in the universe, but also causes all things to return to "Tao".
Humans follow the laws and characteristics of the earth, the earth follows the example of heaven, and heaven uses Tao as the basis for its operation. Tao is natural, and the concept derived from it is that "Tao always does nothing but does everything."
But is ‘Tao follows nature’ really the correct concept of spiritual practice?
As early as thousands of years ago, someone asked an extremely pointed question.
The normal lifespan of a human being is only a hundred years, but after practicing cultivation, one's lifespan will be extended almost unlimitedly. If one can achieve 'Tianzun', one's lifespan will no longer be limited.
So, since 'Tao follows nature', does it violate the normal laws of nature if human life span exceeds the limit?
This is not an individual case, but a group. This group includes all living beings that can practice cultivation, including humans, demons, spirits, monsters, etc., and has universal significance.
Once this view was put out, it caused an uproar at the time.
Are practitioners violating the laws of nature?
Some high-level practitioners have doubts about themselves because of this confusion, and even self-destruct or become possessed by demons.
There are also some practitioners who argue against this view.
They believe that the "natural" in "Tao follows nature" does not simply refer to the laws of nature, but a higher-level concept, which can also be called "naturally".
"Tao follows nature" means that the laws of operation of all things are caused by the way of heaven operating and changing in a "natural" situation.
Just when the two views were quarreling fiercely, the "Taode Sect" at that time suddenly launched its force and destroyed the sect that raised questions in one fell swoop, and countless practitioners who held the same views were killed.
After this incident, the concept of "Tao follows nature" became mainstream again.
But some things will not disappear just because they are eliminated. Once doubts arise, people will naturally study them.
The "Taode Sect" eventually split into two sects, "Tiandao and Mingde". The reason for this is also because the two sects have different ideas.
The 'Tiandao Sect' believes that this world should follow the natural laws of heaven's operation. Although it is a human sect, it respects the law of heaven and extremely rejects all things that are not naturally generated.
Since the establishment of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', basically all measures have gone against the laws of nature. In addition to being afraid of the rapid development of the Southern Sect, this is also the reason why the 'Tiandao Sect' has been targeting the Southern Sect.
The "Ming De Zong" has a different view. They believe that since they are human beings, they should be people-oriented, and "morality" is more important than "Tao".
It was because of the different concepts between the two that it ultimately led to the split of the Taoism.
In all the universes, in addition to its own meaning, the word "morality" also refers to the "Tao Te Ching", and this sutra was written by Laozi.
Laozi is also known as Taishang Laojun. According to legend, Laozi transformed the three pure beings in one breath, and created from himself the ‘Jade Qing Yuanshi Celestial Being’, the ‘Shangqing Lingbao Celestial Being’, and the ‘Taiqing Moral Celestial Being’.
Since the "Tai Qing Dao Tian Zun" is its essence, in Taoism, the "Tai Qing Dao Tian Zun" is revered as the Taoist ancestor.
The "Tao Te Ching" is all-encompassing. Although it talks about "the way follows nature", the core is the word "inaction".
This "inaction" does not mean not doing anything, but rather not fighting, adapting, and being tolerant.
A man who is empty, quiet, tranquil, lonely and inactive is the root of all things.
It refers to integrating oneself into the rules of the Dao and following the movement of the Dao.
If the word "inaction" is fully understood, we can also get an artistic conception similar to seeing a mountain as a mountain, not a mountain, but a mountain.
Whether it is the ‘Tiandao Sect’ or the ‘Ming De Sect’, although it seems that their own ideas deviate from the true meaning of ‘morality’, in fact these ideas are still included in ‘morality’.
The core of the concept of "going against nature" is the four words "man can conquer nature".
This concept was born because Zhang Ke was influenced by dreams.
In the majestic world in the dream, the human race has been fighting against nature since its birth.
Pangu opened the sky, Nuwa mended the sky, Hou Yi shot the sun, Dayu controlled the floods, Shennong tasted the herbs, Jingwei filled the sea, Foolish Old Man moved the mountains...
Regardless of whether the protagonists of these legendary stories are human or not, their core meaning remains the same as "man can conquer nature".
Through the efforts of countless people from generation to generation, human beings continue to improve their living environment until they become the masters of the world.
In Zhang Ke's mind, whether 'Tao follows nature' or 'man is determined to conquer nature', they are all a type of 'Tao', and there is no right or wrong distinction.
The so-called three thousand avenues can all lead to enlightenment.
However, due to the influence of the dream world, although the "Xiantian Yiqi Sect" comes from the lineage of Shangqing, Zhang Ke believes in the "Nine Heavens Demon Demon Lord".
Zhang Ke believes that if you want to fight against the "Xianmen", you cannot rely on the Taoist concept of "inaction" because this concept is somewhat negative.
The practitioner's philosophy must be transformed into a state of exertion, struggle, and progress.
The concept of "man is determined to conquer nature" perfectly fits this point, so Zhang Ke will focus on promoting "acting against nature" to inspire practitioners to have a proactive attitude.
Don't look at the three measures that Zhang Ke launched today, namely, the 'Integration Plan', 'Integration of Loose Cultivators', and 'Sect Entry into High-level Sects'. In fact, what he considers to be the most important is the promotion of the concept of 'man can conquer nature'.
After Zhang Ke took control of the situation in the sect conference, Lord Dao of Destruction and others no longer deliberately targeted him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Under the general trend, all resistance is in vain, but this does not mean that Daojun Dao of Destruction and others will cease their efforts.
Sometimes, retreating is to gather strength to launch a stronger counterattack.
Whether it is the 'Integration Plan' or the 'Integration of Loose Cultivators' and 'Sect Entrance', they cannot be completed easily.
As the saying goes, 'the more you do, the more you make mistakes', Daojun Dashie didn't believe that Zhang Ke didn't make the slightest mistake in implementing these three measures.
Now he has communicated with some high-ranking sects. When Zhang Ke implements the measures, they will collect various errors and defects of Ruyi Daojun and the "Xiantian Yiqi South Sect" from all aspects.
When these mistakes are enough to cause dissatisfaction among practitioners all over the world.
The Taoist Lord of Destruction will choose the best time to deprive Zhang Ke of his leadership authority in the 'Integration Plan', and he will lead the completion of the 'Integration Plan' and promote the promotion of the realm, so that the Taoist Ruyi and the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong' can
Everything you do becomes your own wedding dress.
Three days later.
In the five major regions of the Azure Realm, 2,400 high-grade sects issued two announcements at the same time.
‘In recent years, practitioners in the world have been plundering all over the world, causing huge damage to all parts of the world.
In view of this, 2,400 high-grade sects from the five major regions of the Azure Realm are officially screened for loose cultivators from all over the world.
Practitioners who have been plundering in various places in the past ten years and who have committed the Seven Deadly Sins will be arrested. Those who voluntarily surrender may have their guilt reduced as appropriate.
In addition, all qualified sects in the world will open their gates, and all practitioners with good conduct can apply to join based on their own strengths and the conditions announced by the sect.’
Once this announcement was announced, countless casual practitioners were immediately in a state of panic, especially those who had committed the Seven Deadly Sins in the past few years.
In addition to this announcement, the second announcement about the ability to establish high-level sects at will also caused a huge sensation in the cultivation world.
Although the requirements for establishing a sect are extremely strict, there are still countless True Lords of Yuanshen running around, actively preparing to establish a sect.
At the same time, almost all the unqualified sects were overjoyed after seeing this announcement.
Apart from the fact that there is no 'money tree' to determine the fortunes between the non-entering sects and the entering sects, it is actually not much worse than the entering sects in other places.
In the past, it was only because the number of top-grade sects was strictly controlled under the control of high-grade sects, the number of top-grade sects was rare.
Now that Zhang Ke's push has completely relaxed the restrictions on establishing top-level sects, how can there be tens of thousands of non-top-level sects in the world but overjoyed.
Because of this move, Zhang Ke received the gratitude of tens of thousands of unqualified sects.
But when these two measures were implemented bit by bit, countless sects in the world suddenly understood how far-reaching Zhang Ke's intention was.
