Such a talented and savvy young man turned out to be from a third-rate small country like the Eastern Kingdom. This made the old man have to lament that creation is magical and sometimes there are really no rules to follow.
At the same time, I secretly feel sorry for the Eastern Kingdom. Such a young talent has not been appreciated, and instead the talent has flowed out. No wonder the Eastern Kingdom can only live in the third rate.
"Jiang Chen, you can't tell anyone about this romantic relationship at your young age, otherwise it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for you." The old man couldn't help but remind him again.
He really loves talents, and the old man found more and more shining points in this young man Jiang Chen.
These shining points make this young man destined to become a blockbuster and soar into the sky.
The great energy and great luck contained in this young man are definitely not comparable to those of the so-called geniuses in the Sixteen-Nation Alliance.
Thinking of this, the old man suddenly felt warm in his heart. Maybe, in Jiang Chen, he can find some new sustenance? Some new hope?
"Jiang Chen, I heard from Concubine Dan that you have a lot of demand for elixirs recently. Ordinarily, with your current level of cultivation, you shouldn't be able to use that many elixirs."
Jiang Chen smiled and did not hide anything: "Old man, I will tell you the truth. These changes have made me understand a truth. Before I can achieve great strength, I must improve some of the strength around me. In this way, when encountering changes,
Only then can we protect ourselves.”
The old man believed this statement deeply.
"Elixir, I can help you with some, but after all, I am in the secular kingdom, and the resources I control are only a drop in the bucket compared to the Baoshu Sect. Therefore, if you want the elixir, you must enter the Baoshu Sect. To put it nicely,
, is to go to Baoshu Sect to obtain resources, to put it mildly, to compete with other geniuses for resources. After all, most people are cannon fodder and green leaves when practicing together. The real foil is always the number of red flowers.
.”
The views put forward by the old man are also very novel.
"This is not alarmist. Basically, sect disciples look glamorous, but in essence, most of them are slaves and victims of the sect. However, they can make a lot of money just by carrying the sect's brand.
The good thing is that the real winners are the few winners who have control of the sect’s resources. They are the top leaders and the particularly outstanding geniuses.”
After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Chen. He was also worried that his point of view might seem a bit absurd to Jiang Chen.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen smiled and looked deeply convinced.
Concubine Dan couldn't help but frown: "Jiang Chen, do you understand what the old man means?"
Jiang Chen smiled: "The law of nature is the law of the jungle. If everyone is equal, how can we still call it a sect? Just like in this world, mortals are the majority after all."
The old man was speechless again. He was also worried that young people like Jiang Chen would not be able to accept this point of view.
After all, young people worship the sect as a holy place. In the hearts of most young people, the sect is a holy place that must not be tarnished.
The old man was really worried that Jiang Chen wouldn't be able to accept the true nature of the sect.
But now he realizes that he has completely overthought it.
Jiang Chen summed up the essence of the sect very accurately with just four words: "The weak and the strong".
The old man couldn't help but ask: "In that case, are you still willing to join the sect?"
Jiang Chen didn't even blink: "You must join."
"Once you join, you will be bound by the rules of the Baoshu Sect? The grievances with the Tie family and his son will also make your space more narrow. It will even be inconvenient for me, an outsider, to speak for you..."
Jiang Chen smiled: "As the old man said, I joined the sect to grab resources. Rules are dead, people are alive. Moreover, I heard that Baoshu Sect is not the Tie family that can dominate the sky with one hand. Speaking of which
Old man, I do have some questions."
"What?" The old man smiled.
"With the strength and status of the old man, he is not a giant of Baoshu Sect. Why is this?"
Jiang Chen has thought about this question many times in his mind, but he can't find any clear answer. Now that he has said this, Jiang Chen also wants to ask.
The old man sighed: "This is a long story. I'm afraid it happened two hundred years ago, right? At that time, I had a bet with an elder of the Baoshu Sect. The loser would quit the Baoshu Sect and would not be allowed to return to the sect for life.
.And I am the one who loses."
The old man's tone was bleak. He had never talked about this topic to the outside world. Even Concubine Dan heard this secret for the first time.
Her beautiful eyes glanced at Jiang Chen, blaming him for not mentioning the old man's sad past.
The old man chuckled: "Concubine Dan, don't blame Jiang Chen. It's not that I don't want to talk about these things, but I always feel that there is no need to say them. However, Jiang Chen deserves to make an exception for me."
"Actually, I didn't lose because of my strength. I only found out afterwards that my opponent had cheated. At that time, many senior officials of Baoshu Sect knew about his cheating, but no one knew about it.
Stand up and say it. This also makes me feel discouraged."
Jiang Chen sighed lightly, but he didn't know how to comfort the old man.
As an outsider, he really couldn't say much about this old story.
Instead, the old man smiled openly: "Actually, it's nothing. Hundreds of years have passed, and I have already thought about it. Besides, this is not necessarily a bad thing. The person I had a bet with back then, thirty years later, during a sect mission,
When the body dies, the spirit disappears. Tell me, if he beat me, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, it's hard to say. It's just a pity that a person like the old man is not in the sect."
"It's a pity, a pity, all of these. However, after I lost that gambling battle, I ran away angrily, left the Sixteen-Nation Alliance, and traveled around the world. Only after leaving the Sixteen-Nation Alliance did I realize what a frog in the well I was. That's exactly what I did.
After encountering obstacles at every turn, I resolutely returned to Tiangui Kingdom, practiced hard in seclusion, and gained the so-called title of Spiritual King status today."
The old man laughed self-deprecatingly: "In other words, in the Sixteen Kingdoms, the title of Spiritual King seems to be unattainable. If we really look at the outside world, the title of Spiritual King is just an ordinary monk. Let's not talk about the larger world, it is us.
In the Vientiane Territory where the Sixteen-Nation Alliance is located, the existence of the four major sects is very common and can only be regarded as a third-rate small force at most."
"The territory of Vientiane?" Jiang Chen was slightly surprised.
If you say that the four major sects are just third-rate small forces, Jiang Chen believes it and doesn't think it's outrageous.
However, the words Vientiane Territory reminded Jiang Chen of the "Upper Eight Territories" mentioned by his father. Does this Vientiane Territory have anything to do with the "Upper Eight Territories"?
"Have you ever heard of the Vientiane Territory?" The old man was slightly startled, "That senior expert, told you about the Vientiane Territory?"
Jiang Chen shook his head: "That senior didn't tell me anything about the outside world. He said that he didn't want to use his eyes to affect my understanding of the world."
Mr. Ye smiled bitterly: "Senior, the way an expert behaves is really different."
"Senior, I heard him mention something about the 'Upper Eight Realms.' Is it the Wanxiang Territory, one of the Upper Eight Realms?" Jiang Chen asked tentatively.
"The Upper Eight Realms?" The old man's body suddenly shook, and his eyes shot out, "Jiang Chen, that senior expert, really mentioned the Upper Eight Realms?"
Seeing the old man's reaction, Jiang Chen felt a little bit in his heart, knowing that he might be too eager and shouldn't tell the story about the Eight Realms.
But the words have been spoken and cannot be denied any longer.
Nodding: "Yes, he mentioned the Eight Realms, but he didn't reveal more."
The old man stared at Jiang Chen, and after seeing him nod, his tense body slowly relaxed, and he sighed: "Could it be that the rumors are true?"
The old man's eyes were full of excitement, and he murmured: "Does the Upper Eight Realms really exist in this world?"
"What rumors?" Jiang Chen wanted to find out some news about the Upper Eight Territories.
Seeing the old man's reaction to the "Upper Eight Realms" being so exaggerated, Jiang Chen was worried that this Upper Eight Realms was really extraordinary.
At the same time, he couldn't help but be a little worried about his father's safety.
"Actually, I just heard some rumors. What they said - the world is big, the lower domain is thirty-two, the middle domain is sixteen, and the upper domain is eight in total. There are some more after that, I can't remember them at all.
Anyway. In addition to the upper domain, the middle domain, and the lower domain, there are other places that make up our entire world.
When the old man talked about these things, he was vague. What he knew was indeed too little.
The old man is the supreme being in Tiangui Kingdom.
But at his level, looking at the whole world, it is not enough.
Concubine Dan obviously heard these rumors for the first time and asked curiously: "Teacher, is our Sixteen-Nation Alliance a member of the Vientiane Territory? What level of domain does the Vientiane Territory belong to?"
"What level? The thirty-two lower realms, the Vientiane Territory, are one of the thirty-two lower realms. And our Sixteen-Nation Alliance is the most marginal and lowest existence in the Vientiane Territory. To put it nicely, it is the Vientiane Territory.
A member of. To put it mildly, he is a useless member of the Vientiane Territory. He is dispensable. He may be abandoned one day."
"Abandoned?" Concubine Dan's long eyelashes fluttered, "Is there such a thing as abandonment? Whoever leaves whom can't live? Besides, most people in the Sixteen-Nation Alliance don't know anything about the territory of Vientiane, right? No.
Did you come here like this?"
When the old man heard what Concubine Dan said, he smiled bitterly and sighed: "Xiao Dan, you are young after all. You must not say these words outside, as it can easily cause trouble. What do you mean who can't survive if you leave? Let's leave Vientiane in the Sixteen-Nation Alliance.
The territory is really unbearable."
"Why?" Concubine Dan was a little puzzled, "Could it be that all this time, what kind of support has the Vientiane Territory given to our sixteen countries?"
"There will definitely be no support. On the contrary, the Sixteen-Nation Alliance has to pay tribute to other major forces and ask for their care."
The old man sighed: "These things should not be said in the first place, but now, there is nothing that cannot be said. Why are the four major sects open to selection this time? Why are the four major sects who have always been at odds with each other so consistent?
What makes them let go of their differences? These are all for a reason."
"What's the reason?" This time, even Jiang Chen was curious.
Since he came to this world, of course he had to learn more about this world. Jiang Chen didn't want to live in ignorance. And from the old man's tone, Jiang Chen clearly felt that this public selection was probably very unusual.
Recalling the news he heard from the last conversation between Luo Huang and Zhou Yi, Jiang Chen felt that there must be a lot of inside information about this public selection of the four major sects.
