The old man stretched out three fingers and said in a solemn tone: "The reason is only three words - a sense of crisis."
"Now, the Sixteen-Nation Alliance has less and less presence in the Vientiane Territory. Once the Sixteen-Nation Alliance is considered useless in the Vientiane Territory and there is no need to exist, then it will be isolated by other forces and will
It is directly classified as a barbaric land."
"Isolated? Barbaric land?" The doubt in Concubine Dan's beautiful eyes became even stronger.
"Yes. The so-called barbaric land is a place that has been abandoned and exiled. Abandoned by the same race and no one cares about it. In this way, it will also become a delicacy in the mouth of the alien race, and even be divided, cannibalized, and devoured by the alien race. Living in it
The humans here, if they are lucky, will become slaves of alien races; if they are unlucky, they will be directly devoured and killed. Once it becomes a barbaric land, unless there is no alien invasion, it will be a dead end.
Mr. Ye Zhonglou said in a serious tone: "And this is definitely not alarmist. Now the major forces in the Vientiane Territory have increasingly felt that the Sixteen-Nation Alliance is worthless. If the Sixteen-Nation Alliance does not have some outstanding performance,
It will really be abandoned and become a barren land. Once that happens, the consequences will be disastrous."
"So, the four major sects are motivated by this sense of crisis in this general selection?" Jiang Chen raised his own question.
"Yes, there is a sense of crisis. Otherwise, what else can the four major sects do to let go of their prejudices? Give up their grudges? Jointly hold this selection? This is definitely a once-in-a-century event. Jiang Chen, I am here
I invite you here this time, and I also want to tell you that participating in this selection is an opportunity for you. It is not just a matter of resources, but it is also more likely to allow you to soar into the sky, enter a higher level, and attract more people.
Attention. It is even possible to be noticed by the Yuanjing Venerable."
The old man continued: "Jiang Chen, don't underestimate this opportunity. Once you are noticed by the Yuanjing Venerable, it will be really extraordinary. The Yuanjing Venerable is definitely a rare existence in the Sixteen Kingdoms Alliance. This
This kind of old monster, even if placed in the entire Wanxiang Territory, is still a high-level figure. Although there are more powerful beings in the Wanxiang Territory, those who can sneak into the Yuanjing Venerable are extremely powerful no matter where they go in the Wanxiang Territory.
Those who are popular will inevitably become the targets of big forces."
"Jiang Chen, the old man has said so much, why don't you express your opinion?" Concubine Dan saw that Jiang Chen's expression was calm and did not look very enthusiastic. She was a little angry in her heart, wondering what happened to you Jiang Chen, always
Why should you act so calm?
Jiang Chen saw that the old man and Concubine Dan were looking at him, their eyes full of expectation.
"Just tell me whether you will participate or not." Concubine Dan asked angrily.
"Participate." Jiang Chen nodded resolutely.
Concubine Dan waved her pink fist: "Remember, not only must you participate, but you must also try your best. You must be a blockbuster and trample all those arrogant sect geniuses. Otherwise, don't say you know the old man and me when you look back."
Jiang Chen smiled and said: "This, isn't it a bit overwhelming?"
"You just force others to make things difficult for you." Concubine Dan raised the corner of her mouth and snorted, "You guys always want to be lazy. If you don't force people to make things difficult for you, how can you use all your strength?"
This time, the old man stood on Concubine Dan's side and said with a smile: "Jiang Chen, I actually want to see how unfathomable your potential is."
"Old man, I'm just lucky. I had some adventures when I was young. It's nothing like that."
The old man's expression suddenly became very serious, and he advised: "Jiang Chen, actually, these are what I want to tell you. The adventure of your youth makes you different from most people, giving you a unique advantage. However, as
With the departure of that senior, all this has become a thing of the past. I hope that your adventures will not become an obstacle to your progress. And you should not be unable to keep your feet on the ground because your horizons have been raised. I am afraid that you are too high-spirited.
Look down on the sect, always work behind closed doors, and act independently. In this case, your great youth will be squandered, squandered, or even ruined by you without knowing it. In this case, it will be a pity. Once you enter the third year of life,
After the age of ten, many opportunities will slowly disappear. Remember, at your current age, you really can't waste it, and don't feel resentful towards the sect just because you have a high vision."
The old man spoke with sincerity and sincerity, and his words were very sincere.
Moreover, it was the old man who thought about it for a long time before he decided to speak out.
He really admired Jiang Chen, and his starting point was to prevent Jiang Chen from losing himself, from being blinded by the adventures he had experienced when he was young, and from being so arrogant that he ignored the importance of being down-to-earth.
Now that the adventures of childhood have become a thing of the past, one has to be down-to-earth in the journey of martial arts.
Joining a sect is the best choice for a martial arts genius.
The old man, he was worried that Jiang Chen would be too high-spirited and have a prejudice against the sect, so he would resist the sect and not join the sect.
In this way, he will lose many opportunities because of his prejudice.
I have to say that the old man is very sincere. Jiang Chen can also feel the sincerity of the old man.
There was a slight realization in his heart, and I have to say that the old man's words were a bit thought-provoking. Jiang Chen's subconscious was more or less against the sect.
Because, too many disciples of the sect made him feel disappointed and speechless.
Thinking about it carefully, even though he has memories of his previous life, he must be down-to-earth in martial arts. There can be no castles in the air for him to rush to the realm of the heavens for no reason.
The road has to be walked step by step, and the sect is an existence that he cannot ignore at this stage.
In fact, Jiang Chen planned to enter the sect.
However, he still had some grudges and prejudices that he had not let go of.
After listening to the old man's advice, Jiang Chen's heart finally calmed down and he completely put aside his prejudices.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's mood suddenly became brighter.
He stood up respectfully and saluted the old man: "The old man gave me a wake-up call today, so that I can wake up. I thank you here."
Jiang Chen felt a little ashamed at this moment. He had always felt that although the old man had a high status, he was not qualified to be his teacher.
This idea is correct.
But on this issue, the old man's reminder did give him a sense of enlightenment, which made him put aside his prejudices and relaxed.
Yes, when you come into this world, you should integrate into it.
Why is there any need to hold any prejudices? The memory advantage of past lives can help you walk faster, but it does not necessarily guarantee that you can rise to the top in one step.
If your mentality is not adjusted well, how can you face challenges? Face various possible changes.
After Jiang Chen reflected on it, he felt that he had indeed gone too far.
Maybe, everything went smoothly before, making me feel that everything in this world is so easy, right?
The old man looked at Jiang Chen's bright eyes, revealing an open-mindedness and a youthful sincerity.
I was very happy in my heart: "Why don't I say that you have high understanding and great talent? It seems that you understand the meaning of my words, which is very good. Then, I will wait to appreciate your evil performance.
, Hahaha, it’s so refreshing. I never thought that I, Ye Chonglou, would one day look forward to the performance of young people? When I was young and frivolous, I felt that it was impossible for this Sixteen-Nation Alliance to have a younger generation with such extraordinary talent as me. Now.
Thinking about it, it’s really childish and ridiculous.”
The old man revealed his old background in a self-deprecating manner.
Since he decided to participate in the general selection, Jiang Chen naturally wanted to know the information about the general selection.
"Old man, when will this selection begin? How will it be selected? Should each sect be selected separately or together? How will this location be selected?"
Jiang Chen's series of questions are what he most urgently wants to know now.
There was a look of appreciation on the old man's face. Every one of Jiang Chen's questions was on point.
"The Grand Selection, as the name suggests, is a joint selection of the four major sects. It is no longer divided into sect boundaries, nor country boundaries. Therefore, this selection is all participated in together. As for the location, the Sixteen Nations Alliance has always had
A regular place to go.”
"Where?" Jiang Chen was curious.
Concubine Dan lost her voice and said: "Old man, could it be that ancient ruins?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, that's right there."
"However, opening that ancient ruins is very costly, and there are also annual ring restrictions."
"The annual ring limit is not a problem. It happens once every hundred years and expires at about this time. But opening the ancient ruins is really expensive. Moreover, without the cooperation of the Yuanjing old monsters, the ancient ruins cannot be opened at all. The four major sects
The Yuanjing Venerables of the gate must join forces to forcefully open the ancient relics. The longer you want to maintain it, the more you have to pay."
"The price? What price?"
"Spiritual stones, spiritual objects, support the spiritual formation gate of the ancient relics. Without the spiritual formation gate, there is no way to enter the ancient spiritual realm."
"So harsh?"
"If you're not harsh, then it's not called the Ancient Relics Realm. This is why there is such a good place, but the Yuan Realm old monsters can't go in to practice. It's too expensive to go in once. And if everyone can't agree on the same opinion,
This ancient ruins can’t be opened either.”
The conditions for opening are so stringent that it is indeed difficult to reach a consensus.
Otherwise, if the Yuanjing Venerable enters the ancient ruins to practice, the effect will definitely be better than practicing in the sect.
However, the materials needed to support the Spiritual Array Gate, the time and energy required to build the Spiritual Array Gate, and the time limit for entering the ancient ruins all determine that this ancient ruins are not suitable for a small number of people.
It must be a large-scale operation, and it is only cost-effective to start it once.
"Ancient Relics..." Jiang Chen discovered that there are really interesting things in this world.
According to the memory of his previous life, there are various mysteries in a world. The more various relics there are, the longer the history of the world is and the more secrets the world has.
Generally, this kind of independent space is formed after countless vicissitudes of life and countless reincarnations.
"It seems that this world is not as simple as I thought. A small alliance of sixteen countries has ancient ruins. This means that this world must have had a great history in ancient times.
Jiang Chen made his own preliminary judgment in his mind.
However, he doesn't have the heart to care about these now. What he cares about is the rules of this big selection.
As for the rules, the old man couldn't say anything.
After all, the general selection must be something like a few Yuan Realm old monsters from the four major sects getting together, through various discussions, compromises, and conflicts, and finally finalizing a rule that everyone agrees with.
This rule will never be revealed in advance.
Even Mr. Ye Chonglou might not be qualified to know in advance.
The third update is here, there will be another update later
