All the monks at the elder level are now gathered here.
When they meet each other, they all nod their heads as a greeting.
For Tianzong, many elders do not have much interaction with each other. Each has its own small circle. Except for other monks outside the small circle, it is difficult to integrate into it.
"Master of the Zhan Temple, the sect leader summoned us to come here this time, but what's the matter?"
Yutian asked in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Zhan Sheng shook his head slightly: "Like the Master of Yutian Palace, I just received a summons from the sect master, and there is not much news."
See this.
Yutian could only suppress his inner curiosity.
Although he is a sixth-grade Taoist soldier, he is the weakest among Shen Changqing's many Taoist soldiers.
Not to mention the immortal holy soldier Qing Yi who always follows Shen Changqing, even with the twelfth-grade old man Wandao, there is no comparison.
but.
In Yutian's view.
Although Zhan Sheng is not the strongest among the Tao soldiers, he is the one who has been with Shen Changqing for the longest time.
In the words of other monks, he can be regarded as a confidant.
some things.
If you don't know something yourself, it doesn't mean the other person doesn't know it.
originally.
Yutian still wanted to get some rumors from the other party's mouth, but now it seems that there is no possibility.
Then, his eyes fell on the other palace masters.
Tianzong Palace.
The positions of all palace masters are basically controlled by Tao soldiers.
There are only a few places that have not been affected by Taoist soldiers.
For example, Dan Palace.
“I don’t know when I will be truly promoted to the seventh rank!”
Yu Tian sighed secretly.
It is not easy for Tao soldiers to be promoted. If you want to be truly promoted, you can only be promoted unless you can get the nourishment of the flesh and blood of a strong person, or if a strong person uses his own strength to nourish you.
Except.
It is to obtain a treasure like an innate spiritual embryo.
It's a pity.
Regardless of the possibility, it is not that simple to really want to be promoted.
In the past, Yu Tian had a Buddhist attitude towards promotion to the seventh rank. If he could be promoted, he would be promoted. If he couldn't be promoted, that would be fine.
But it's different now.
Following Shen Changqing, he saw too many top and powerful Taoist soldiers.
Comparing the two, he appears to be too weak.
If there really is an opportunity for promotion, Yu Tian would not want to miss it.
It's a pity that there are no opportunities for promotion at the moment.
When he was secretly thinking wildly, Shen Changqing's figure suddenly appeared on the empty main seat.
See this.
Many elders stood up and saluted.
"I'll wait to see the sect leader."
"Excuse me."
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
Only then did the elders take their seats again.
Shen Changqing was in the main position and had a clear view of the expressions of all the elders present.
Nowadays, there are not many monks in the Tianzong who are elders and above. Apart from the Taoist monks who have transformed into the hall master, the rest are a group of monks selected from the Tianshun clan to serve as the elders.
As for the disciples of the sect, none of them have been promoted now.
This is also normal.
The disciples who joined Tianzong at the beginning were not very strong, and most of them were at the level of sainthood, and had not even reached the level of sainthood.
The strongest one can only reach the realm of gods.
With such strength, it is impossible to grow to the level of an elder in just a few years.
Moreover.
If you want to become a sect elder, you must not only have corresponding strength, but also make a significant contribution to the sect.
If one of the two fails to meet the standards, it is impossible to become an elder of the sect.
After all, once you become an elder, you are equivalent to becoming a senior member of Tianzong. Every word and deed may have a great impact on the sect. If you really want to promote them arbitrarily, then Tianzong will not be far away from being destroyed.
the other side.
Under the gaze of Shen Changqing, the monks present were all calm and calm, which put great pressure on them.
"Since the founding of Tianzong, I have rarely had time to take care of it. The reason why the sect is in such good shape is entirely due to your efforts."
Calm words rang out in the hall, and everyone looked solemn.
The scene is finished.
Shen Changqing looked at Pu Zong who was standing down: "Elder Pu, how many races are affiliated with Tian Zong now?"
"To inform the sect master, there are currently fifty-three races belonging to the sect, and they are all weak races without the control of the gods."
Puzong answered without thinking.
Hear the words.
Shen Changqing nodded imperceptibly.
Fifty-three races.
Judging from the quantity, it seems to be quite a lot.
But he understands.
The fifty-three races are all weak races, and there is no possibility of them being comparable to the strong races in terms of their heritage. Even if ten or twenty weak races are added together, they may not be able to compare with a strong race that has a divine realm.
It can be seen from this.
How weak are the weak races?
"Fifty-three tribes, how many creatures are there in total?"
"The total number of living creatures from the fifty-three tribes is roughly around 500 billion."
"Five hundred billion..."
Shen Changqing looked indifferent.
Five hundred billion living beings is definitely not a large number.
On average, there are less than 10 billion living beings in one race.
Later.
Shen Changqing asked: "Of the 500 billion living beings, how many living beings' beliefs are completely subordinate to Tianzong and can be redeemed by sect disciples?"
"With 500 billion living beings, there are probably around 100 billion living beings that can be redeemed by the sect."
Puzong replied truthfully.
Although Tianzong has captured 500 billion living beings, it is impossible for all living beings' beliefs to be used by the sect's disciples. Most of the living beings' beliefs must belong to the sect leader in front of him.
It’s already good to have hundreds of billions left.
Regarding this.
Shen Changqing also understood very well.
Although the faith of 400 billion living beings does not have much effect on him, after all, his real major is not Shinto, but Immortal Dao.
No matter how much faith he has in creatures, it will hardly make any big difference to his strength.
but.
Having said that.
But Shen Changqing has no idea of giving away his own faith.
Once you do this, it will inevitably arouse unnecessary suspicion.
so.
Belief in living beings should be there, and it is still necessary to have it.
Just think of this.
Shen Changqing looked at Puzong and said: "One hundred billion living beings' faith is too few for the growth of the sect. Not to mention opening the mountain gate to recruit disciples in the future, the current three thousand disciples and one hundred billion living beings are not enough.
I need Tianzong to conquer more races and provide the sect with more faith power."
Speaking of which.
He looked at the other monks and said calmly: "It has been several years since the Tianzong was established. There are three thousand disciples in the sect, but it is difficult to become a truly strong person by practicing hard.
From now on, the sect will do its best to collect intelligence from all races in the world and find suitable racial targets. At the same time, the War Merit Hall will release corresponding tasks to provide disciples with channels to gain experience and gain war merits.
Temple Master Zhan needs to handle this matter properly!"
"Follow the sect's orders!"
Zhan Sheng stood up and accepted the order.
After a brief explanation, Shen Changqing said again: "In addition, the Divine City has been established, but currently no monks have settled in the Divine City. If things continue like this, the Divine City will undergo major changes, so we need to contact the chambers of commerce of various forces in the Eternal Continent to let them settle in the Divine City.
As for the matters here, let’s leave them to Elder Pu to handle!”
To the end.
Shen Changqing's eyes have fallen on Puzong.
The other party was once the prime minister of the Tianshun Dynasty, and he was much better at this aspect than others, so it was perfect for him to do this.
Hear the words.
Puzong also stood up and accepted the order.
Later.
Shen Changqing said: "The growth of the sect cannot stop at three thousand disciples. Two years later, the mountain gate will be opened again to recruit disciples from all over the world. From then on, the mountain gate will be opened every ten years, and anyone who is destined can enter the Tianzong.
Elder Qiu will be the elder protecting the sect from now on, and all matters concerning the recruitment of disciples will be handled by Elder Qiu with full authority."
"yes!"
Qiu Xing perked up and responded loudly.
Although he has been an elder of Tianzong for a long time, becoming an elder of Huzong is completely different from before.
The former has the title of protecting the sect and is in charge of recruiting disciples, so he already has real power.
In comparison.
Although there was an elder position in the past, most of the time it had no real power. It was just occupying the position of an elder and receiving the corresponding salary.
"Furthermore, the first batch of disciples have been in the mountain gate for a long time. When the mountain gate opens in two years, a sect competition will be held. Anyone who can enter the top 100 will be rewarded with military merit.
If you can get into the top twenty, you can join the disciples of the elders and be promoted to inner disciples.
I don’t know about this, what do you elders think?”
Shen Changqing said.
He had already had this idea about the sect competition.
Building an army behind closed doors is not advisable.
If all the disciples just practice hard in seclusion, if things go on like this, the sect will definitely be lifeless and it will be difficult to achieve any great achievements.
When she returned to Tianzong this time, Shen Changqing had already noticed this problem.
Compared with the original Zhuzong and Ziyun Holy Land, the current Tianzong is too quiet, so quiet that there is no competition.
As a new sect, it lacks the vitality it should have.
so.
The purpose of Shen Changqing's establishment of the sect competition was to change this situation.
He believes.
As long as the news of the sect competition spreads out, the sect disciples will definitely be excited.
Not to mention that those who are in the top twenty can be worshiped by the elders of the sect, just the fact that those who are in the top 100 can be rewarded with military achievements, it is estimated that many disciples will flock to it.
no way.
At present, there are really not many opportunities for Tianzong to obtain military exploits.
Participating in the competition will provide you with the opportunity to gain military exploits, and these disciples will definitely not miss it.
Later.
Shen Changqing explained some things again, and then waved the elders to leave.
It didn't take long.
He was the only one left in the main hall.
"You have to eat food one bite at a time, and things have to be done step by step. Now that Tianzong is gradually growing, it will definitely help the human race come into being in the future!"
Shen Changqing's eyes were firm.
Those who are truly hostile to the human race are the All-Heaven God Clan, or the forces that were once part of the All-Heaven God Clan. The remaining races actually do not have much hostility towards the Human Race, and most of them are casual cultivators who join the Tian Sect.
At this point, he is not worried about the possibility of betrayal by Tianzong disciples.
