After each of the excited, serious, or complex Jindan Masters left Lingxiao Hall, the hall instantly became quiet.
Zhang Ke summoned his disciples to come here today for three main purposes.
The first is to eliminate the fears and doubts in the hearts of the disciples and take this opportunity to appease people's hearts.
Even if these hundreds of people indeed deserved their crimes, the fact that so many people were beheaded would inevitably cause panic among the disciples.
It's like a company laying off employees. Even if you know you are not among them, you can't help but feel sad.
After all, no one knows whether it will be their turn to experience the same thing next time.
Therefore, the disciples in the sect must be sure that this time the sect's punishment has ended.
So that the hundreds of thousands of disciples in the sect can practice and live with peace of mind.
Secondly, Zhang Ke wanted to inform his disciples that the sect was about to relocate.
It is by no means a simple matter to move the sect to 'Crescent Bay'.
This involves the interests of all the disciples of the sect and tens of millions of people in the nine counties of Penglai.
Simply counting and reconstructing the layout of Penglai and Crescent Bay cannot be completed in a year and a half.
People are lazy and no one wants to leave a place where they have lived for a long time.
It definitely takes courage to let the people in the nine counties of Penglai abandon the life they are accustomed to and reopen unknown territories.
Therefore, this will also be the core work of the sect and the nine counties of Penglai in the next three years.
Just thinking about the difficulty makes one feel numb.
His last purpose was to publish his two demands and increase his chances of winning in the future catastrophe.
As for informing the disciples of the great changes eight thousand years ago in advance, it was actually an accident.
Xu Qingzhi did not leave Lingxiao Hall, and asked Zhang Ke after there was no one in the hall.
"Master, once the two sea eyes of the Crescent Bay are solved, will it arouse the covetousness of other sects?
It was a huge island chain with a straight-line distance of more than two thousand miles, with more than a thousand islands of various sizes distributed.
Not only are all kinds of resources extremely abundant, but the land is fertile and the sunshine is sufficient. The islands are not very far apart, making them extremely suitable for human habitation.
In addition, there are nine spiritual veins under this island chain, which is full of vitality, making it an excellent place for practice.
What if ‘Yunxiao Tiangong’ goes back on its word and wants to forcibly take back ‘Crescent Bay’?”
Zhang Ke waved to Xu Qingzhi, and the two of them came to sit down in the side hall.
Xu Qingzhi made a cup of tea for Zhang Ke and herself, then picked up the spirit tea and sipped it slowly.
Zhang Ke smiled and said:
"This is also the reason why our sect did not choose Crescent Bay as the base of our sect two hundred years ago.
Surrounded by wolves and evil tigers, you have to be careful.
However, things are different now.
Because of the strength Qingmei and I have shown, we already have the right to say 'no' to any sect.
In addition, due to the rapid development of our sect, not only the Eastern Region, but also the sects in the other four regions have set their sights here.
Anyone who wants to do anything can't escape the eyes of many sects.
This time, our sect directly killed thousands of disciples from each sect to demonstrate our strength.
As long as I'm still alive, I don't think most sects would dare to provoke me easily.
As for your worries about this place being taken back by the ‘Yunxiao Tiangong’, don’t worry.
‘Crescent Bay’ has been part of our territory more than a hundred years ago, as evidenced by the official deed issued by ‘Yunxiao Tiangong’.
This island chain is a treasure for our sect, but in the eyes of the 'Yunxiao Tiangong', this is a useless enclave that has been neglected for tens of thousands of years.
What's more, Feng Zhaohai came here just to ease the relationship between our sect and Tiangong.
The 'Yunxiao Tiangong' family has a great business, and I don't think it's enough to break with the family just because of this island chain."
Zhang Ke paused briefly when he said this, and suddenly said:
"Do you know why I said before that high-ranking sects will not directly interfere in our affairs?"
In fact, Xu Qingzhi has always had doubts about this.
Zhang Ke explained before that it was because the high-ranking sects had a non-aggression agreement.
But she absolutely does not believe this, and even everyone in the palace may not believe it either.
The top-grade sect is not a gentleman of noble character, so how can it give up the opportunity to develop and grow because of its reputation being damaged?
But since Zhang Ke didn't want to say it clearly at that time, naturally no one would ask questions ignorantly.
At this moment, when Xu Qingzhi heard Zhang Ke mention it, he took advantage of the situation and asked.
"Why?"
Zhang Ke poured himself a cup of tea and said:
“Have you ever heard about the Qingzhou ‘Vajra Sect’ overthrowing the ‘Life and Death Sect’?”
Xu Qingzhi nodded and said:
"I heard that the 'Life and Death Sect' is trying to open up the passage between the 'human world' and the 'nether world', turning the human world into ghosts.
That’s why he was exterminated by the ‘Vajra Sect’.”
Zhang Ke smiled and shook his head and said:
"That's not the case. I tell you that you know the secret, but please don't tell anyone else."
Then Zhang Ke explained in detail the story of Qiongzhou’s ghost gate opening wide.
Including that he became the Lord of the Bone Plains of the 'Netherworld', he also told Xu Qingzhi.
Xu Qingzhi was completely shocked again.
Is the leader the destined master of this world?
No matter where he goes, there will be a storm, and the dignified fifth-grade sect will be destroyed in the leader's thought.
When my mind was extremely confused, I heard Zhang Ke continue:
"The reason why the high-ranking sect retreated from this sect is because of the threat from the Lord of the Bone Plains."
Xu Qingzhi couldn't help but ask:
"But the title of leader is only valid in the 'Netherworld'. Why are high-ranking sects so afraid of it?"
Zhang Ke laughed out loud.
"Haha, yes, just because he is the master of the 'Netherworld', so..."
He raised his eyes and looked at Xu Qingzhi, and said slowly:
"So even if a Dao Lord kills me in the human world, I will be resurrected in the 'nether world'!
Unless they can absolutely annihilate my soul and drive me to pieces..."
‘Buzz——!’
Xu Qingzhi didn't pay attention to what Zhang Ke said after that. All her attention was attracted by Zhang Ke's words "Resurrection from the Netherworld".
The hairs all over his body stood on end, and the trembling in his heart was like a string being plucked repeatedly.
At this moment, Xu Qingzhi wanted to scream a few times to relieve the pleasure in her heart.
Understood.
finally understood.
I see!
‘No wonder even ‘Yunxiao Tiangong’ would take the initiative to ease the relationship with the leader.
No matter which sect faces such a nearly immortal, powerful and vengeful person, I am afraid they will make the same decision.'
‘Oh——!’
'Oh, it would be really good if there was someone to hold it up!'
After taking a long breath of relief, Xu Qingzhi's heart finally calmed down, and all the pressure and worries in his heart disappeared.
The smoothness of her mind made her state of mind clear, and her heart was ready to move, and a burst of vitality sprouted out of her body.
Zhang Ke's eyes moved, and he didn't expect that the opportunity for Xu Qingzhi to advance to the rank of Yuanshen suddenly appeared.
But he also wanted to add fuel to Xu Qingzhi's fire and continued:
"However, these are not real strengths, they are just some special means.
Although it has a shocking effect, it can never be truly taken seriously.
After all, it is not the fundamental absolute power.
If our sect wants to truly gain a foothold among the sects in the world, it still needs the efforts of all the disciples in the sect.
The world of spiritual practice is, after all, a place that values strength.
Only if we can have strength comparable to that of a top-grade sect, will all prying eyes and coveted eyes be eliminated.
Do you get me?"
Xu Qingzhi nodded and said:
"This disciple's cultivation in the Golden Core Realm has been completed. Once the matters within the sect are explained, he will immediately retreat to achieve breakthrough."
Zhang Ke nodded with satisfaction.
"Junior Sister Biluo has also been in seclusion a few days ago to prepare for a breakthrough. Just now I saw that Shi Zhongxiu's aura was vigorous and turbulent, and I thought it might have reached a critical point.
I hope that when I see you next time, everyone will have advanced to the level of Yuanshen.
The road to seeking the truth is both difficult and long, so let us support each other and move forward together!"
Xu Qingzhi's heart surged and she said a little excitedly:
"This disciple will definitely live up to the master's expectations!"
After giving a light salute and just about to turn around and leave, Xu Qingzhi raised his head and looked at Zhang Ke's thoughtful expression, and a thought came to his mind.
Suddenly he said:
"Master, this disciple has always had a question in his mind that he wants to ask, but I just don't know if it is appropriate?"
Zhang Ke was slightly startled.
Xu Qingzhi has always been outspoken in front of him. She had never spoken like this when she tried to persuade him not to kill indiscriminately.
He couldn't help but asked curiously:
"What's the matter?"
Xu Qingzhi hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Disciple wants to know what the leader's original wish was at the beginning of his practice?"
"What's your original intention?"
Zhang Ke couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Some people practice for immortality, some do it for the truth, and some people do it to become stronger.
But none of this is what Zhang Ke wants.
Looking at Zhang Ke who was lost in thought, Xu Qingzhi couldn't help but regret. Maybe he shouldn't have asked the leader this question.
But she was really curious about what Zhang Ke was practicing for.
Xu Qingzhi is not an ordinary woman.
Because of her outstanding appearance, she has been peeped by many people since she was a child.
Among them are not only coveted by some seniors in the sect, but also some relatives in the family.
If it weren't for her extraordinary intelligence, cautious character and some luck, she might have become someone's plaything.
Therefore, Xu Qingzhi has had a deep understanding of power and strength since she was a child, because this is the only way to make her feel safe.
She entered the sect about seventy years later than Zhang Ke. Ever since she entered the sect, Zhang Ke's name has been circulated within the sect.
Killing by nature, upright, powerful, retributive, romantic and lustful...
In addition to these names that make the disciples of the sect talk about him with shame, his series of contributions to the sect are also talked about by countless disciples in the sect.
It can be said that Xu Qingzhi basically grew up amid positive or negative rumors about Zhang Ke.
Out of her inner admiration for the strong, she has always been curious about this person.
But when she gradually emerged, Zhang Ke had been exiled outside the territory.
When Zhang Ke returned from overseas decades later, the first thing he did completely shocked her.
Zhang Ke actually angrily scolded the leader Ming Xiao in the Ziwei Palace, and launched a gambling war with the sect's primordial god Furong Zhenjun with the strength of the Golden Core Realm.
You must know that True Lord Furong is accompanied by the divine beast "Hui Dou", and one person is equivalent to two True Lords of Yuanshen.
At that time, everyone in the sect was not optimistic about Zhang Ke, but he actually won. He single-handedly severely damaged "Hu Dou" and cut off the lead flower on the top of True Monarch Furong.
This incident caused a great sensation in the sect.
After that, he led the "Wind Catcher" to arrest the disciples of "Wan Beast Mountain" who violated the precepts.
Last time, Jiuyou Peak killed one hundred and thirty-seven disciples in the sect with the "Guillotine".
In order to bring Master Qingju to justice, he actually accompanied him to death.
Xu Qingzhi now clearly remembers her extremely excited mood at that time.
From that moment on, she admired this man extremely in her heart, and her admiration even surpassed that of her master Fei Lei Zhenjun.
So when Zhang Ke established a branch of the sect that year, she resolutely took the initiative to join.
And Zhang Ke did not disappoint her, but in just two hundred years he developed the sect to be as powerful as it is today.
Xu Qingzhi checked the historical data and found that in the history of the Azure Realm, no one has ever been able to lead a sect to the point of competing with fourth-grade sects in just two hundred years.
Even though the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect' is only a ninth-grade sect now, in terms of strength, it has already surpassed the 'main sect' of Dingzhou.
Seven true kings of souls, thousands of golden elixirs, thirty thousand innates, and one hundred thousand outer sects.
In addition, there are 300,000 preparatory disciples who are studying in various academies.
Who can look at this heavy weight without fear, envy, or fear?
As the actual manager of the sect, Xu Qingzhi naturally needs to know Zhang Keduo in order to better implement Zhang Ke's ideas and gradually develop the sect.
After she took power, she used the convenience and authority in her hands to gain a more thorough understanding of Zhang Ke.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because of this, she knew how much contribution Zhang Ke had made to the sect over the past few hundred years.
Xu Qingzhi was extremely certain that without Zhang Ke, the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ would never be able to be promoted to a middle-grade sect.
And the strength and influence of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' are no different from ordinary seventh-grade sects.
Just one person can have such a big impact on a sect.
Xu Qingzhi couldn't help but feel extremely shocked deep in his heart.
At the same time, she also noticed Zhang Ke's somewhat contradictory personality.
It was really puzzling to her that these extremely polarizing personalities could appear in one person at the same time.
When Nanzong was first established, there was a lot of waste waiting to be done, and there were countless places where resources and manpower needed to be spent.
However, Zhang Ke forced the implementation of two laws despite a shortage of resources.
‘Compulsory education’ and ‘encouraging childbearing’.
Moreover, these two laws have lasted for two hundred years and will even continue in the future.
At that time, not only did other members of the sect dissuade him many times, but even Zhenjun Jiuren was very dissatisfied with it.
However, these two laws that everyone disliked had already shown extraordinary results a hundred years ago.
Nowadays, the achievements shown after two hundred years of accumulation have put countless people in the sect to shame.
Some disciples even believe that Zhang Ke can see the future, otherwise there is no way to explain why he knew that these two laws would have such a powerful effect.
Hundreds of academic palaces and a population growth of more than 10 million in two hundred years will consume many resources. This is absolutely an astronomical figure.
If their thoughts are known to Zhang Ke, Zhang Ke will laugh in his heart.
In the dream, the newly born country increased its population from 500 million to 16 in just sixty years.
The larger the population base, the higher the population growth rate will be.
Therefore, as long as there is a stable living environment, once fertility is relaxed, how many people there will be in a hundred years from the current 12 million people is something that even Zhang Ke cannot imagine.
Why did Zhang Ke open up the Crescent Bay? Isn't it just to free the saturated population of the nine counties of Penglai from their shackles?
What puzzled Xu Qingzhi the most was that she discovered that Zhang Ke's practice seemed not just for himself, but to use his influence to continuously influence other people.
Zhang Ke is like a stone thrown into water, constantly making ripples and affecting all areas it can cover.
This seems to be a concept, but it is more like a belief.
Xu Qingzhi didn't understand why Zhang Ke did such a thankless thing.
Therefore, she has always been curious about what Zhang Ke was thinking at the beginning of his practice.
In addition, I heard a lot of information from Zhang Ke today, so my mood was inevitably agitated, so I suddenly asked.
But looking at Zhang Ke who had been deep in thought for a long time, Xu Qingzhi felt a little regretful.
Maybe I asked a question I shouldn't have asked.
After a long time, Zhang Ke woke up from his thoughts and looked at Xu Qingzhi, who looked troubled.
As soon as his mind turned around, he guessed what she was thinking.
He couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Don't worry, there's nothing I can't say about my initial wish for cultivation. It's just that when you asked me, it reminded me of some past events."
After a brief pause, Zhang Ke continued:
“Everyone will set a wish for themselves the moment they embark on spiritual practice.
This is the source of motivation that guides and spurs us to practice.
The purpose of my practice is different from other people's. Firstly, it is not for immortality, and secondly, it is not for strength.
For..."
Zhang Ke looked at Xu Qingzhi and said slowly:
"Peace!"
"Peace?"
Xu Qingzhi blankly repeated Zhang Ke's words. She thought of countless answers, but she had never thought in this direction.
Moreover, these two words are quite different from Zhang Ke's behavior.
You, a man with bloody hands and countless murders, are actually saying "peace". This is simply an insult to these two words.
The expression on Xu Qingzhi's face completely revealed her thoughts.
"hehe!"
Zhang Ke chuckled twice and said:
"I don't know how much you know about me, but have you ever heard a legend about me?"
Xu Qingzhi said in a daze:
"What legend?"
"I am a person with Suhui wisdom."
Zhang Keyou said leisurely.
Xu Qingzhi was shocked and instantly remembered some stories about Zhang Ke.
It is said that when Zhang Ke first entered the mountain gate, he could not sleep at night and cried all night, always saying that something was ringing in his head, which later alarmed the real person inside the gate.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingzhi asked tentatively:
"The leader means this...is this true?
Have you really come back from the future?"
Zhang Ke was startled, and then said in a dumbfounded voice:
"Time will never stop. How can anyone go back to the past from the future?"
Xu Qingzhi didn't believe Zhang Ke's words at this moment.
How could she not know that Zhang Ke has a magical power called "First Attack" that can reverse time?
This may be a secret to others, but to her, who has extremely high authority, Zhang Ke's practice trajectory is so clear.
Moreover, she also knew that since Zhang Ke revealed the power of the 'first attack' magical power, this secret method has been tried many times by people from the sect.
Even Xu Qingzhi practiced secretly for a while.
It's a pity that the knowledge that is like a heavenly book cannot even be understood, let alone cultivation.
Zhang Ke smiled and shook his head, without further explanation.
"In the first few years after I entered the Taoist monastery, when I fell asleep, my mind would go to another world."
Xu Qingzhi perked up and listened with bated breath.
"I had another period of life there, from birth to babbling, then to toddling and gradually growing up.
Crying, joy, anger, helplessness, countless experiences and feelings are all so real."
Zhang Ke muttered to himself in a daze. He had never said these words to anyone.
But maybe Xu Qingzhi's question triggered his thoughts. After all, it was a secret that he had kept in his heart for hundreds of years, and suddenly he felt unhappiness.
So at this moment, he really wanted to find someone to talk to, but the most trustworthy Qingmei and Xiaoxiao were not in front of him.
He still had some trust in Xu Qingzhi, so he simply said a few words to her.
Of course, another reason for him to speak is that he doesn't seem to have to worry too much about other people in the blue world.
While Zhang Ke was talking, he made a cup of tea for Xu Qingzhi and saw that she looked a little strange.
sidewalk:
"It's not an illusion, because many things in that world have already shown their effects in this world."
Xu Qingzhi's mind flashed through all the measures Zhang Ke had carried out within the sect, and he couldn't help shouting:
"I see."
At this moment, she finally solved the confusion that had troubled her heart for many years.
Zhang Ke's self-contained measures and systems have surprised countless people, but now the mystery has finally been solved.
