Chapter 341 Star Tianchi(1/2)
Recently, due to the continuous breakthroughs in Nascent Soul, the "elder brother" who is thinking about "the hope of ZTE" is feeling a little dizzy at the moment.
In the past, Lian Ziling "controlled the news and reported good news but not bad news." Recently, for his own selfish purposes, he has chosen without hesitation to make the entire Xingxiu Palace take the blame.
The "eldest brother" is undoubtedly very angry about these extremely selfish behaviors of the "third junior brother".
In the past, Lian Ziling had great trust in his abilities and conduct because he disguised himself so well.
As a result, the entire Xingxiu Palace, including him, was ignorant of the huge changes in the outside world. It was not until the fire burned to his eyebrows that he could not avoid it, and then suddenly saw the truth, which made him look like a dim and incompetent fool.
It puts the entire Xingxiu Palace in a very embarrassing situation.
But what can I do if I am angry again?
Lian Ziling's breakthrough to Yuanying has become a reality. Even if he broke through two years earlier, the strength of both sides is still on par.
Even if he wanted to deal with the other party, he was completely powerless.
Moreover, given his age and superior talent in cultivating the Tao, his future prospects in the Nascent Soul Path are likely to be better than his own.
Perhaps now is the period when he has the most advantage when facing Lian Ziling.
You can't just ignore it and start a civil war, right?
Therefore, although he was extremely angry in his heart, facing Lian Ziling who said "I was wrong" but had a calm look on his face, "Elder Brother" chose to forgive after some difficult self-counseling.
After a long silence, he looked at Lian Ziling and said slowly:
"What do you think?"
He thought very clearly. With Lian Ziling's "thoughtful consideration", since he chose to show his cards to himself today, he should have already considered everything in his mind.
Although Lian Ziling has personally ruined his own character after having been in the sect for many years, he still has great trust in his abilities.
Facing the inquiry from "Big Brother", Lian Ziling said:
"It's time for Xingxiu Palace to make a comeback. We really can't afford to wait for two or three years.
However, you can't really rush out unprepared.
Since it has been one hundred and eighty-three years and eight months since we closed the mountain, we might as well make up our minds and set the date of unsealing on the day when the one hundred and eighty-fourth year has passed.
In this way, we have four months to prepare."
"In these four months, on the one hand, we need to establish closer ties with those outside informants, and those who have been buried deeper can also be awakened.
First, let them collect more information for us, so that when we come out of the mountain, our understanding of the outside world will remain a hundred or two hundred years ago, and our eyes will be completely black.
Another one is to get them active in advance. This can be regarded as a way to test the capabilities of the casual cultivators who have seized power and the hidden forces such as the Rilihen Sect with ulterior motives.
Regardless of the outcome, good or bad, we can use this to understand it in advance and take precautions in advance."
"Elder Brother" listened carefully and nodded gently.
"This is external, on the other hand, it is internal."
Having said this, Lian Ziling's calm expression became solemn.
He looked at "Eldest Brother" and said softly:
"This nearly two hundred years of self-isolation has had an all-round impact on our Xingxiu Palace.
Not to mention those disciples at the Qi training and foundation building levels, there have been two or three generations since before the mountain was closed.
Without the continuous blood transfusion from the outside world, all the disciples can only dig within the Xingxiu Sea, and the overall quality has declined greatly.
The difference is not only talent, but also ambition, vision and experience.
The group of people who have reached the level of pill formation are basically the same people who entered the mountain gate before the Xingxiu Palace closed the mountain. Their situation is generally better.
But the reality is that this is the weakest link in all our strengths.
On the one hand, our most elite and top group in the Dan Formation Realm have suffered great losses during the closure of the mountains for nearly two hundred years."
Having said this, Lian Ziling sighed and shook his head gently.
The expressions of "Elder Senior Brother" and "Second Senior Sister" are also a little ugly, with expressions of nostalgia, regret, and happiness, and their expressions are very complicated.
Ask yourself, looking at the nearly two hundred years since Xingxiu Palace closed down the mountain, they dare not say that they are the "most elite" and "top" group.
I can only say that they are the luckiest.
This time, it has been nearly two hundred years since the Xingxiu Palace was closed. Too many good seedlings were lost to the calamity.
Some of them smashed themselves into pieces and were completely destroyed.
Although some people barely managed to save their lives, they were completely defeated from all aspects of "essence", "qi" and "spirit" by the failure of overcoming the tribulation.
I have neither the ability nor the spirit to come again.
Now, after Xingxiu Palace has been suppressed for nearly two hundred years, four Dan-jie masters have broken through the Nascent Soul one after another. It seems that they have accumulated a lot of accumulation and bottomed out.
But if you look carefully, you can find that between the four new Nascent Souls and Jiedan, there is a "gap" that is getting bigger and bigger and more and more empty.
Although the Nascent Soul is the decisive force, it is impossible for the four Nascent Souls to deal with the next situation alone.
Jiedan is their most important assistant and their mainstay.
In this ring, there is a huge fault in the Constellation Palace.
"...On the other hand, the nearly two hundred years of isolation and self-defense have made them too comfortable.
If the mountain door is opened without preparation and they are allowed to face the comrades outside, I am really worried that they will be blasted."
The two people who were still feeling regretful a moment ago suddenly looked solemn at this moment.
Although what Lian Ziling said was unpleasant and harsh, in the perception of the Xingxiu Palace disciples, they were always the only ones who looked down upon other monks!
But today, things are different from the past.
On the one hand, the most elite and top-notch group in the Xingxiu Palace in the Dan Formation Realm have too much "wasted" on reaching the threshold of Nascent Soul.
In the nearly two hundred years of comfortable life, everyone's first priority is to improve their cultivation and then attack the barrier like a natural chasm.
Subjectively, they have no urgency or necessity to improve their combat effectiveness.
Objectively, they also lack necessary external stimulation and environmental influence.
During the period when the Xingxiu Palace is closed, various resources for improving cultivation are not only open to supply, but are also the easiest to obtain, easier than at any other time.
Because the fundamental purpose of closing the mountain is to "use resources to build a pillar within a certain period of time."
Allocating time and energy on combat and killing skills is a failure to see the general trend and putting the cart before the horse.
Due to various factors, it is inevitable that the combat effectiveness of the alchemy monks will decline.
The situation outside is exactly the opposite.
Whether it is the resurgence of the Lihen Sect, the expansion of other secret forces, or the endless killings of the casual cultivators fighting to defend the ownership of the spiritual veins, this has actually improved the actual combat capabilities of those pill-forming monks.
It can be said that none of the alchemy monks who have been able to rise to the present level in the nearly two hundred years since the Xingxiu Palace sealed the mountain are of the same generation.
Regardless of the future potential, just talking about the comparison of strength at the level of pill formation, Xingxiu Palace will definitely not be able to gain any advantage.
The old sorrow has not gone away, but the "elder brother" has added new sorrow. He is very upset. When he sees the "culprit" in front of him, he can't help but ask for advice:
"What can you do about this problem?"
Lian Ziling shook his head and said:
"This is the case, what can I do?
You can't expect me to come up with some ideas to completely reverse this situation, right?"
The moment the words came out of his mouth, "Elder Brother" knew that he was "frivolous", but when he really heard the answer, he couldn't help but sigh.
"However, we cannot say that we will do nothing if we cannot think of a way to completely reverse the situation.
In these last four months, we must pay close attention to our actual combat capabilities."
"It's a tradition within the sect. If you're a member of the same sect, you'll get to the point where you like it. There's very little bloodshed."
"My opinion is that this tradition should be thrown away for the time being.
In order to make them really nervous, we might as well do the opposite and set a few death quotas!"
Death quota?!
As soon as these words came out, both of them were startled again.
"Second Senior Sister" couldn't help but said: "Is this... too cruel?"
Lian Ziling said: "Senior sister, if you have other good ideas, that would of course be better."
"Uh..." "Second Senior Sister" was speechless by these words.
Of course she couldn't come up with a better solution.
Four months may seem like a long time, but if a Dan-forming monk's actual combat ability can be significantly improved, it will be no different than "in the blink of an eye".
The time is short and the task is heavy. Although "death forcing" is too rough and unreasonable, it is the most effective and most likely to achieve substantial results.
So, she chose to shut up.
"Eldest Brother" slowly said: "Okay, I agree in principle to this matter, but I have to inform Junior Sister Lin."
