The fingertips of Zhang Ke's right hand were a little empty, and endless emery poured out from the fingertips like sea water.
The gravel was flying and changing. Under the guidance of countless runic lines, a sand table was constructed in just a few minutes.
After the combination of dragon and tiger, Zhang Ke can freely use all means.
Unlike in the past, if you want to build a sandbox, you have to look like a toddler again.
He did not build a 'Sky Eye Formation Map', but a simple Xiantian Yiqi Sect terrain sand table.
Tianya Zhenjun and others gathered around the one-foot-sized sand table, waiting for Zhang Ke to continue explaining.
The index finger of Zhang Ke's right hand pointed at the northern part of the sand table, and a platinum light as thick as a chopstick on his fingertip pointed in the direction of the finger.
"This is the Lianyun Taoist Sect, bordering the northern part of our sect, without any obstruction in the middle."
Then he pointed in three other directions.
"Next to our gate here in the east is a large branch city of the 'Loose Cultivator Alliance'.
Adjacent to the south is the Eight Hundred Miles Desert, which is the territory of the seventh-grade sect ‘Hanhai Sect’.
The Mopan Canyon in the west is subject to constant space oscillations, making it impossible for ordinary people to survive.
The mountain gate of the fifth-grade sect ‘Dang Mo Sect’ is right here.”
After saying this, Zhang Ke drew a slight circle with his right index finger, enclosing the area of Xiantian Yiqi Sect with white light.
"Disciple would like to ask, even if the sect is promoted, how can the sect expand outward?
Where can we find the cities and populations we should have?”
Tianya Zhenjun and others were shocked.
In fact, they have discussed this issue a long time ago, but there has never been a good solution.
Xiantian Yiqi Sect is surrounded by other forces. If it wants to expand outward, it will inevitably have conflicts with other sects.
But there is no reason to start a war for no reason, and once a war starts, the sect doesn't know how many disciples will be killed or injured.
There are also other forces in close proximity that may join forces to join the war in order to protect themselves.
By then we will be surrounded by enemies on all sides, let alone expansion, even self-protection may be a problem.
Moreover, the largest sect in Dingzhou, the third-grade sect ‘Bajing Palace’ will definitely intervene to stop this matter.
In addition, there is still the biggest problem, which is where to find the population.
Without sufficient population resources, a sect can even be promoted to a middle-grade sect.
There is no difference compared to the past, except that the high-end combat power is stronger.
Virtue does not match, this is a big taboo!
Since the decision was made to upgrade the sect, Zhenjun Tianya and others have discussed this matter more than once in the past few decades.
But after much thought, I always came up with nothing.
At this moment, this sharp question was raised by Zhang Ke, and several True Lords couldn't help but fell silent.
True Lord Xinghe looked at Zhang Ke's calm face, his heart moved slightly, and he asked:
"Ruyi! Do you have a solution?"
As soon as these words came out, even Tianya Zhenjun couldn't help but look solemn.
Zhang Ke said slowly:
"It's not that there's no way, it's just..."
When everyone heard this, they all held their breath and stared at Zhang Ke.
Lord Lieyan looked at Zhang Ke's hesitant appearance and asked urgently:
"Don't hesitate to say whatever you have to say."
Zhang Ke flicked his right index finger.
The white-gold circle of light surrounding the Xiantian Yiqi Sect on the sand table suddenly shrank.
He circled a part of the sand figurines representing humans, and then moved them out of the scope of the Xiantian Yiqi Sect with a parabola and landed outside.
A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhenjun Jiuren's mind, but it was difficult to catch it.
"What my disciple means is that since the sect is trapped here and unable to move.
Why not break out of this circle and start a new situation outside."
Rumble——!
Zhang Ke's words sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.
True Lord Tianya's face suddenly turned gloomy, and True Lord Lieyan shouted sternly:
"Ruyi! Do you also want to cause this sect to be divided like the Tao Te Sect?"
Even Lord Xinghe, who had always looked at Zhang Ke with special eyes, narrowed his eyes at this moment and looked at Zhang Ke without saying a word.
Zhang Ke sighed secretly, he had guessed it would be like this.
On the contrary, Zhenjun Jiuren held his beard with one hand and showed a thoughtful expression on his face.
It turns out that the reason why Zhang Ke has been playing the emotional card with everyone is at this time.
True Lord Chongxiao is the person who knows Zhang Ke relatively well within the sect.
Knowing that he always had shocking things to say, every time Zhang Ke came to see him in the past, he would be wary of fear.
But he also knew deeply that at every moment like this, Zhang Ke's actions would always bring leapfrog development to the sect.
This is true for both the 'Shou Ke Dharma' and the 'Nine-Rank Dharma Protector God' systems.
After calming down, True Lord Chongxiao said:
"Ruyi! Please tell me your thoughts carefully."
Zhang Ke nodded and explained:
"Let me tell you a story first.
It is said that there is a family in the secular world.
Under the diligent management of successive family heads, each bloodline blossomed and developed better and better.
But after a certain period of time, the head of a certain generation suddenly discovered a big problem.
The family's development speed is getting slower and slower, and it is even becoming difficult to make ends meet.
So he launched an investigation into the family.
It is found that as the clan grows, more and more people become idle and indolent.
He spends his days living and drinking, causing trouble, pushing away whenever possible and hiding whenever possible.
Under the influence of these people, other tribesmen were unwilling to work hard.
After all, it doesn’t matter whether you do something or not, and whether you do more or less, naturally no one is willing to do anything wholeheartedly.
And how did all this happen?
In fact, it's very simple, it's because I can't see the future.
The people at the top occupy their positions and remain motionless, while those at the bottom have no hope.
When you are full and warm, you will think about lust, when you are hungry and cold, you will have a greedy mind, and as time goes by, you will start to hang around.
The head of the family thought about it and made a bold move."
When Zhang Ke said this, he turned around and looked at several True Lords.
He said slowly: "Separate the families!"
"The head of the family dismissed the clan members of each clan and distributed enough resources to allow them to develop independently.
This move was ridiculed by many people, who believed that the family would fall within a hundred years.
But in fact, decades later, when the head of the family called all the clan members together for a reunion.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These separated tribesmen each returned with a family that was not inferior to the main family.
This family has actually expanded dozens of times in the past few decades due to the development of the clan after the division."
‘Oh——!’
Zhenjun Jiuren completely understood what Zhang Ke meant.
Zhang Ke took out two gold talisman coins and placed them in the palm of his left hand.
"This is the sect. According to normal development, one gold talisman will be added every year. In ten years, it will be twelve."
Zhang Ke picked up a gold talisman coin from the palm of his left hand with his right hand and placed it in his palm.
He opened his hands, and gold talisman coins appeared in his hands and were piled up.
"If you separate it and develop both sides at the same time, the total number after ten years will be twenty-two.
It can be seen from this that dividing the family can obviously bring more benefits to the sect."
Zhang Ke continued:
"Of course, this is just a simple metaphor. What the disciple really means is..."
Zhenjun Jiuren suddenly interjected:
"If the family is divided, is it not divided?"
Zhang Ke nodded and said:
"Exactly! This is actually an inevitable trend for the rapid growth of a sect's strength."
After a brief pause, he continued:
"The reason why Tao Te Sect split is because they didn't grasp this point well. They didn't do it when it was time to separate, and they forcibly brought everyone together.
The contradictions and conflicts became more and more serious, until finally these conflicts intensified to the critical point and suddenly broke out, causing the "Tao De Sect" to fall apart.
If there were differences in the concepts of the 'Tiandao Sect' and the 'Mingde Sect', they would develop independently.
Then now we may face a Taoism that is twice as big."
"Ss—!"
To be honest, several True Lords were really frightened, although what Zhang Ke said was just a guess.
But this guess is very reasonable.
If the 'Tiandao Sect' and the 'Mingde Sect' had separated before the internal strife, there would not be as many deaths and injuries due to internal strife as it is now.
So I can't even imagine how far these two unbroken sects will develop with the help of each other.
At least its strength and power will definitely exceed that of the original 'Daode Sect'.
“If the family is divided, is it not divided?
Separate the family! Don’t divide!”
Lord Lieyan murmured to himself, carefully thinking about the pros and cons.
In fact, this situation is very common in the secular world.
When a family reaches a certain scale, it will naturally branch out and develop independently.
On the contrary, this situation rarely occurs in the spiritual world.
Zhang Ke said seriously:
"Nowadays, the sect has accumulated a lot of resources, but whether it is the Taoist academy or the mountains and peaks, the number of disciples that can be accommodated is limited.
After all, no matter how many there are, not only whether they can be managed, but also daily teaching is also a problem.
This results in us never being able to convert resources into strength.
It is precisely because of this that the current situation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain incident occurred. This is not accidental but inevitable.
If half of the disciples of the sect are separated, a branch of the Xiantian Yiqi Sect will be established.
Then the sect can replenish as many disciples as they separated at once.
And branches can also recruit disciples, so the basic strength of our sect can be doubled immediately."
Zhang Ke secretly changed his concept.
How can it be so easy to establish a branch, otherwise other sects have already done this, and he is not the only smart person in the world.
However, Zhang Ke felt that due to the current situation of the sect, it was necessary to find another dojo and open up the situation from other places.
There will be no way out if we continue to develop here.
True Lord Tianya closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked with some confusion:
"In the Eastern Region, I can't think of anywhere where there is no owner's land.
If a branch is created, how to build it? Where to build it?”
Zhang Ke looked around and softly uttered two words.
