True Lord Weiyang and Luan Zhixiang left with deep thoughts.
On the rooftop of Xiao Penglai Sea of Clouds, True Monarch Tianya and Zhang Ke were sitting opposite each other.
True Lord Tianya squinted his eyes and looked at the two people leaving, and suddenly said:
"Ruyi, the two of them have been searching everywhere in Penglai and Penglai for the past ten days. Will there be any problems?"
In these ten days, he discovered many anomalies in Penglai and Penglai.
The countless umbrella pillars, the buildings being built at various ground nodes in Penglai, the size of the city, the beliefs of sect disciples and ordinary people, the formation of some civil groups, and the people's discussions about the Southern Sect.
In addition, Momen disciples participated in almost all the construction of the sect.
In terms of understanding of Penglai, I am afraid that even the disciples of the Southern Sect may not be as good as them.
These things, whether minor or serious, may have a negative impact on the sect, but Nanzong ignored them and even guided them.
True Lord Tianya is worried that some secrets will be discovered by True Lord Weiyang and others.
Zhang Ke smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry, Patriarch, the construction of Penglai and Penglai is still in the preliminary construction stage, and there are no secrets of the sect involved."
True Lord Tianya sighed and said:
"Now that you are independent, I shouldn't get involved. However, the branch is also a part of the sect. There are some things I still want to say."
"Although the Southern Sect is a branch, it is also a sect of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect'. If you have any instructions from the Patriarch, please tell me directly."
True Lord Tianya pondered for a moment and then said:
"In the past few days, I have repeatedly thought about what you said a few days ago, and I think it makes sense.
However, I am a little worried that if these words reach the ears of many people, will they think that you are robbing merits and deeds, which will be detrimental to the sect?"
Zhang Ke smiled and shook his head, silently watching the busy figures below.
After a long time, he sighed softly and said:
"Grandmaster! You know, sometimes I really wish I could be reincarnated earlier.
If I could have been reincarnated five hundred years earlier, today's azure world would have been several times stronger.
If he had been reincarnated a thousand years earlier, the Blue World would not be afraid of the return of the cultivators.
If we had been reincarnated three thousand years earlier, we might have stepped out of the blue world and actively looked for our opponents.
But all this is just if, reality is just reality after all, and I don’t know if we still have enough time to become stronger.”
True Lord Tianya was slightly startled and said in a deep voice:
"There are still two thousand years left before ten thousand years. Do you think the immortal cultivators will return early?"
Zhang Ke nodded.
"If I were a member of the immortal cultivators, when I was about to return, I would definitely send someone back in advance to investigate.
Perhaps there are spies sent by immortal cultivators in the Azure Realm now.
Now that most of its energy has been restored, the azure world is like a ripe fruit that is ready to be picked.
If we continue, we will grow stronger day by day, and immortal cultivators would not want to see this.
If there are really spies lurking in this world, the signal may have been sent out, and we don’t have much time left.”
True Lord Tianya was silent for a while, then said:
"This is just your guess, maybe things are not as bad as you think."
Zhang Ke said quietly:
"There is such a rule in the universe that if there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen, and it may be even worse!
We cannot place our hopes on illusory probabilities.
The immortal cultivators may come back at any time, and we must be prepared."
True Lord Tianya said softly:
"That's why you said those words, hoping that other sects would also change as soon as possible, right?"
"Well, what I said to Zhenjun Weiyang and Zhenjun Luan was actually told to Yunxiao Tiangong more than ten years ago."
True Lord Tianya couldn't help but look up at Zhang Ke.
You really dare to say anything!
Zhang Ke explained:
"The Patriarch did not know that during this trip south, the disciple killed a Lord Dong Tianzhen of the Yinming Sect.
At that time, Yunxiao Tiangong offered a reward, and whoever killed this person would be given a promise by Yunxiao Tiangong.
When Penglai and Penglai were being built, Yunxiao Tiangong Feng Zhaohai once invited me to be a guest at Yunxiao Tiangong.
So I went to Yunxiao Tiangong more than ten years ago and told all these speculations to fellow Taoist Feng Daoist."
When Tianya Zhenjun was outside the realm, he heard that Zhang Ke had killed a Dongzhenjun named Xuewu.
The ‘Three Flowers Realm’ killed the ‘Dongtian Realm’, which had not happened for many years. At that time, it caused a sensation outside the realm.
Being able to kill the Blood Mist True Lord means that Zhang Ke is a threat to all the Dong True Lords in the world.
At this time, hearing Zhang Ke talk about this matter again, Tianya Zhenjun couldn't help but feel a little 'thump' in his heart.
As a practitioner, he instinctively wants to stay away from threats. This is his nature, but it's not that he has bad thoughts towards Zhang Ke.
"What does Yunxiao Tiangong say?"
"Actually, the high-ranking sects in the Azure Realm are also concerned about this and have been looking for ways to deal with it.
This time, our sect was able to establish a branch in Nanhai without any hindrance, and it was also supported by the sect.
After all, if reef building and island building became popular, the strength of the Azure World might be able to grow rapidly.
I also explained in detail to Yunxiao Tiangong my measures to integrate practitioners into ordinary people.
However, the top-grade sects have a great cause and do not dare to take risks easily, so they just said that they would not care about this matter.
Only when we see that our sect's strength has been greatly improved by this move will we promote it in this industry."
True Lord Tianya breathed a sigh of relief, this was something that had been hanging in his heart.
Establishing branches overseas, no matter where they are built, will definitely compete with local sects for resources.
He had been worried that someone would hinder his career before, but now he could finally rest assured.
After pondering for a moment, True Lord Tianya continued to ask:
"What promise did Yunxiao Tiangong give you?"
Zhang Ke smiled and pointed in the direction of Crescent Bay.
"I have an agreement with Yunxiao Tiangong. As long as our move is really effective, 'Crescent Bay' will be given to us as a gift."
Tianya Zhenjun's heart moved, he also had a certain understanding of 'Crescent Bay'.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is indeed a fertile land, but the two sea eyes block all prying eyes.
"So, Ruyi, you have a solution to the problem of Haiyan?"
Zhang Ke nodded lightly.
"The matter of Haiyan is not difficult to solve, but with the current strength of our sect, we cannot protect that sea area, so we can only put it on hold for now.
What's more, with the current scale of the branch, Penglai and Penglai can develop enough."
True Lord Tianya no longer cares about this matter. Now, Zhang Ke is superior to him in both strength and ability. You can rest assured to let him develop.
What I have to do is to protect him and block all external interference for him.
Turning his head and looking at the prosperous scene below, Zhenjun Tianya felt very relieved.
There is a feeling that my child has finally grown up and can support the family.
Suddenly he remembered something and asked:
"I have been observing over the past few days and found that the size of Penglai seems to be getting bigger, but the change is very small. Why is this?"
Zhang Ke glanced at True Lord Tianya with admiration and explained:
"The disciples have integrated [Breathing Soil] and [Star Core] into this large and small Penglai, and the area can basically grow by one inch every year.
As the disciples continue to bring back land and islands in the future, this rate will increase."
An inch of growth per year may seem inconspicuous, but don't forget the size of these two islands.
Every inch of external growth is a very large area, and you must know that this is constantly increasing on the original basis.
One inch per year, one foot in ten years, ten feet in one hundred years, and so on. After thousands of years, Penglai and Penglai will really grow into a piece of land.
With the energy of [Star Core], radiation that lasts for thousands of years is absolutely no problem, and Zhang Ke will continue to invest resources to make it stronger.
But just thinking about the future prospects, Tianya Zhenjun couldn't help but feel a little relaxed and happy.
This is why Zhang Ke admires True Lord Tianya. He only grows one inch in a year, but how much can he grow in ten days.
True Lord Tianya curled his lips and thought for a moment, then realized that he had lost his composure and coughed twice.
"By the way, Ruyi, how do you plan to develop Nanzong? I want Mingxiao to learn from your approach."
Zhang Ke said proudly:
"To be honest with the founder, in these years, except for the mountain protection formation, the disciple has only promoted two things, and the rest of the sect's affairs have been handed over to Qingzhi."
Zhenjun Tianya rarely saw Zhang Kehui be so satisfied, so he couldn't help but curiously asked:
"What have you done?"
Zhang Ke pointed at Penglai and Penglai and said proudly:
"The first thing is that the disciples built a hundred Dayan Academy in Penglai and Penglai, which can accommodate 300,000 people to study here."
True Lord Tianya took a breath of air and said doubtfully:
"The Southern Sect only has two million people, so where are the 300,000 Taoist disciples from?"
Zhang Ke explained:
"These hundred Dayan Academy recruit children from the nine counties of Penglai between the ages of seven and fifteen."
True Lord Tianya frowned and said:
“Teenage children can already help with household chores.
Ordinary families may not send their children here, and some girls may even be married, let alone come here.
Besides, can they afford to study?”
Zhang Ke said with a smile:
"Ancestor! Unlike our sect, admission here is free, and every year those who enroll will receive appropriate subsidies for their children's families."
True Monarch Tianya's breath was stagnant. How many resources would be consumed by these three hundred thousand children every year? From what Zhang Ke meant, it was obvious that this initiative would continue.
His expression became solemn and he persuaded:
"As expected, this move is so extravagant that it may be a bottomless pit. You should proceed with caution!"
Zhang Ke replied firmly:
"Grandmaster! No matter how much it costs, even if I lose everything, I will persevere.
If necessary in the future, I will continue to build Dayan Academy, there is no upper limit."
How could he lose money by opening a school? The experience in his dream told him that this was definitely one of the most profitable industries in the world.
But making money was not his original intention. His plan lay hundreds of years later.
