That's why the Zhou family holds a selection competition to select the best disciples and then participate in the selection of the Dengli Sect.
It is a pity that the Zhou family is relatively weak. Over the years, only a few people have passed the selection of the Dengli Sect, and even if they are lucky enough to enter the Dengli Sect, most of them have achieved little. They all end up in the late stage of Qi refining and cannot help at all.
Zhou family.
In the past few decades, only one of the Zhou family's children who entered the Dengli sect successfully broke through to the foundation building, but he still failed to help the Zhou family. Instead, he finally left the Dengli sect and returned to the Zhou family to become an elder.
Why is this?
Because although the Dengli Sect is a fourth-generation sect with great monks at the Nascent Soul Stage, and it occupies the best spiritual veins, spiritual stone mines, genius treasures and other outputs in the Dengli Mountains, there are still many disciples who cannot stand it.
Therefore, internal competition is much more intense than external forces.
If your cultivation qualifications are high and your realm progresses quickly, you will get more resources. If you are not good enough, you will have nothing, and you will gradually become marginalized and end up with nothing.
Although those who can enter the Dengli sect are all relatively outstanding people from the peripheral forces, but everyone is excellent, it just depends on who is better.
This is just like Qingbei in the Han Kingdom on earth. Anyone who can get into it is a top student.
But the Qingbei exam also has rankings, and there are still top students and bad students.
Although the disciples selected by the Zhou family are considered outstanding in the Zhou family, among the entire peripheral forces, they appear to be very average and cannot compare with others. Even if they join the Dengli sect, they will gradually fall into the status quo in the fierce internal competition.
Marginal people.
Once you become a marginalized person, not to mention that you will not receive sufficient resources and training, but you will have to become a coolie of the sect, doing all kinds of chores that delay your spiritual practice, and you have to complete various tasks.
Many tasks are relatively dangerous, and there is a certain chance of death. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you may not get much reward.
In this case, it is better to go back to your own family and influence and live comfortably.
This is the case for the foundation-building elder of the Zhou family.
Anyway, within the Dengli Sect, being a foundation-building disciple has come to an end. You still have to be ordered around all day long. What’s the point?
It is better to return to the Zhou family and become an elder. Not only will he be respected and served by the other deacons' children, but he will also be able to enjoy the family's privileges and benefits.
But even so, countless children or young people from the Zhou family and peripheral forces are still trying to get into the Dengli sect.
The reason is very simple. Only by entering the Dengli Sect can they have a higher and broader promotion channel. Only then can they have the opportunity to break through the foundation building, break through the golden elixir, break through the Nascent Soul, and even higher... Although the chance is very small, but the monks practice
for what?
Immortality! If you can't live forever, what's the use of having your magical powers and longevity?
In the end, it didn’t turn into a cup of loess, and the practice made me lonely.
So no matter how small the chance is, someone will fight for it.
For example, the foundation-building elder of the Zhou family has been much better off after returning to the Zhou family, but the price is that he will remain like this for the rest of his life.
Not to mention immortality, even golden elixir is impossible.
Of course, this does not mean that weak peripheral forces or casual cultivators cannot break through to higher realms, but unless you are really lucky and have the opportunity, it will be difficult to break away from the limitations of the environment and the influence of your own strength alone.
bondage.
The world of cultivation is so cruel.
Even though Zhou Yang accidentally got the golden finger of the "portable grandpa" and had a great monk at the peak of the integration stage to guide him, this opportunity was incredible and indescribable, but he still wanted to enter the Dengli Sect through selection.
Because the guidance of the "carrying grandpa" is on the one hand, his own experience is even more important, and the only place for experience that can allow him to grow quickly and improve his cultivation is the Dengli Sect.
Therefore, Zhou Yang was sure that no matter how much Chen Hao's temperament changed, no matter how weird he was, he would definitely come out of seclusion in a month and participate in the selection competition.
It won't be too late to defeat Chen Hao by then.
Moreover, he originally wanted to defeat the second-generation disciples who had ridiculed him before in the selection competition, and finally defeat Zhou Ming, the early villain boss, and feel proud.
Because the selection competition is a major event for the Zhou family, everyone will participate. There is nothing more satisfying than defeating a powerful opponent who once mocked you in front of everyone... ah no, there is nothing more satisfying.
But he didn't expect that Chen Hao would slap and insult Lin Yixue, so Zhou Yang had to change his plan and deal with Chen Hao in advance.
Unfortunately, Chen Hao got into the pulse-protecting spiritual formation in advance. Protected by this second-level formation, the two of them had no choice but to hold their breath and go back.
“It’s okay that we can’t deal with Zhou Ming now.”
Zhou Yang had regained his composure at this time and thought in his mind: "Although I have accumulated a lot of experience and reached the peak of the middle stage of Qi refining in one fell swoop, the training time is still too short. I am not too sure of defeating Zhou Ming. There is still one month left before the selection competition. Take advantage of this."
By practicing hard during this period, I will almost be able to break through the late stage of Qi refining, and I will be proficient in the magical skills taught by my seniors. By then, it will be even better to defeat Zhou Ming in public."
As for Chen Hao's revelation that he was being parasitized in the sea of consciousness, Zhou Yang thought calmly and felt that it was possible that Chen Hao was just talking nonsense and that he and the mysterious woman were overthinking.
After all, the mysterious woman said that even the Mahayana monks could not see through her existence.
Could it be that Zhou Ming is the reincarnation of an immortal?
Moreover, after Zhou Ming revealed the existence of the mysterious woman, he did not further inquire and investigate. Instead, he entered the pulse-protecting spiritual formation and remained silent.
According to common sense, if Zhou Ming knew that there was a powerful parasitic consciousness on his body, shouldn't he dig deep and find out?
No matter how bad it is, you should tell the Zhou family.
Therefore, it can only be said that Zhou Ming made nonsense and got the truth right. But when he asked about it, Zhou Ming couldn't explain it, so he started to pretend to be dead.
Zhou Yang told the mysterious woman his thoughts.
The mysterious woman was dubious.
Even if Zhou Ming was messing around, it stands to reason that he would not be able to come up with something so profound and insightful. Cultivation is not philosophy, and anyone can compose two Zen sentences.
But she also couldn't understand Chen Hao's performance, and Zhou Yang's statement made sense to a certain extent, so she reluctantly believed it and told Zhou Yang to keep the secret of his existence, even if he couldn't tell his biological father Zhou Tianwang, otherwise he would be found out.
, it may very well lead to death. He is just a remaining consciousness, but he cannot protect Zhou Yang, who is now very weak.
Zhou Yang naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
Lin Yixue was still a little unwilling and yelled at the Pulse Guard Spirit Array for a long time. Seeing that there was no movement at all, she had no choice but to spit bitterly and follow Zhou Yang away.
Shortly after the two left, Zhou Ping, Zhou Yang, Zhou Liang and other scoundrels came again and complained to Chen Hao, saying that Zhou Yang somehow got the idea, and his cultivation and combat power suddenly improved greatly, and they all were beaten up severely.
, very arrogant.
Now that they saw Zhou Yang, they all walked around like mice crossing the street, begging the boss to come out quickly, clean up Zhou Yang, vent their anger on them, and restore the beautiful and harmonious atmosphere of the Zhou family...
