Chapter 1237 The Imperial Court of the Five Elements Sect
When Chen Mobai was in seclusion, Gu Yan, as his maid, naturally had nothing to do, so Qingnv arranged her to help in Danxia Pavilion.
Currently, Qingnu's Danxia Pavilion has become the leader in Dongzhou's low-end elixir market. The business is very heavy, and even the profession of purchasing on behalf of others has been spawned. Xueting is completely overwhelmed.
But compared to Yang Jing, business is a small matter.
After receiving the news, Gu Yan rushed to Huanglong Cave Mansion immediately.
She was also very surprised to see Chen Mobai.
"Ancestor, Madam, this is the latest news from Senior Brother Liang from the Northwest Branch of Danxia Pavilion in Dongzhou." When Gu Yan came over, he also brought an expedited message talisman.
After reading it, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.
Danxia Pavilion has now blossomed in various regions of Dongzhou. In addition to selling elixirs, it also serves as a spy for intelligence. In the bitter cold northwest, Liang Lingzhen, a foreign golden elixir master from the Five Elements Sect, was sent to take the helm.
The message talisman recorded that some time ago in the northwest of Dongzhou, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly rushed towards one place, as if a great cultivator had made a breakthrough.
You know, Liang Lingzhen has seen big scenes before. When he was young, he fought side by side with Chen Mobai. Comparing it with the scene of Chen Lingming forming a baby that he had seen in Beiyuan City before, he found that the scale of this surge of spiritual energy was far greater than that time.
In other words, someone has become a god! ?
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is still surging, but there is no sign of any heavenly calamity taking shape.
Liang Ling really didn't dare to go and spy on such a place, so he passed the news over as soon as possible. However, I think by the time Chen Mobai received it, other holy places in Dongzhou should have known about it.
Northwest of Dongzhou, the God of Transformation...
These two key words immediately reminded Chen Mobai of the True Lord Suiyu whom he met in the Frozen Tomb.
Did the Tongsheng Zhenling Pill that Han Xingzi exchanged from me really allow Master Luoying to become a god?
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore.
"what happened?"
The young girl next to him saw that Chen Mobai's face looked a little solemn, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
You must know that Chen Mobai's cultivation is already at the top of the Tianhe Realm, and even the old dragon above the Xuanhai was killed.
"I'm afraid we need to go to the northwest of Dongzhou."
Chen Mobai handed the message talisman to Qingnv and told her his guess.
"If it is really an ascended monk who has taken over the body, will it be dangerous?"
After hearing this, Qingnv became very worried.
"Don't be afraid. I won't move my real body. I will use my second spirit to take a look."
Qingnv didn't need to tell him that Chen Mobai, who had suffered a loss once, would not take risks again. Although Tong Tianzhi didn't warn him this time, he still used his incarnation as insurance for the sake of caution.
Moreover, Chen Mobai also informed the other three holy places in Dongzhou about this matter.
I think the emergence of a new incarnation of the god, who might even be an "ascended monk", would definitely interest Wu Chen and the others.
"That's good."
After hearing this, Qingnv felt relieved.
A flash of fire appeared behind Chen Mobai's head, and immediately a crystal gem turned into a rainbow light and escaped into the void. It left the Huanglong Cave Mansion carrying the Pure Yang Suit and flew towards the northwest of Dongzhou.
……
The land in the northwest of the east is bitter and cold, but it is not barren. When Chen Mobai's second soul came here slowly this time, he found that most of the soil here contained spiritual energy, and some were even spiritual fields.
However, due to the cold climate, only a few kinds of cold-resistant low-level spiritual rice can be grown, making this the place in the East that cultivators are most reluctant to come to.
Even the three major holy places in the East rarely come here to recruit disciples.
Because compared to the core area of the East, the probability of one out of ten children having spiritual roots is only 2% to 4% here.
The East Land area has been the core of the human race since it was opened up by the East Land Imperial Court.
There are spiritual fields everywhere, and spiritual veins everywhere. If you sow a handful of seeds, you can harvest sweet spiritual rice. It is precisely because of this that the human race that took root here at the beginning were strong, with vigorous blood and vitality, and there were many people with spiritual roots.
According to the records that Jiang Zongheng moved from the secret realm of the imperial court, during the heyday of the Human Emperor, almost every household had someone with spiritual roots.
From the big fairy cities to the small countryside, there are private schools opened by cultivators everywhere. They collect spiritual stones and rice as tuition fees, and teach the art of practicing Qi and the methods of cultivating the immortal way.
It is precisely because of such a huge base of immortal cultivators that the grand ambitions of the Eastern Land Imperial Court have been achieved.
However, every dynasty has its rise and fall.
The East is rich in fertile land, so naturally there are people who covet it. In order to let their children have a chance to become immortals, many lower-class people are willing to give up their spiritual land in exchange for cultivation materials, or even cultivation techniques and magical secrets. But nine out of nine of these are in vain.
However, the upper class constantly releases news about the poor and the lower classes becoming highly successful through cultivating immortals, in an attempt to deceive and buy up the spiritual field resources from the people.
By the middle period of the Eastern Land Imperial Court, land annexation had become extremely serious, with more than 90% of the country's spiritual fields being in the hands of the powerful and wealthy, causing the common people to be unable to afford spiritual rice.
And under such circumstances, there will naturally be awakened people.
A failed candidate, whose family was destroyed because of his pursuit of immortal cultivation, led the lower-level cultivators in rebellion, triggering a massive uprising in various parts of the Eastern Land Imperial Court.
Although the Eastern Land Imperial Court relied on its strong foundation and strength to suppress all the rebels, it was unable to suppress the raging fire burning in the hearts of the grassroots people.
The surviving rebels fled to the bitter cold land in the northwest of the East, avoiding the pursuit of the Ten Directions Palace while continuing to fan the flames to let the world know about the corruption of the East Land Imperial Court.
During this process, the rebels who originally adhered to the faith and loyalty also began to become radical, merged with the evil ways, and even developed into a part of the evil ways.
What followed was the Shifang Palace's massacre of the remnants of the rebels that lasted for hundreds of years.
Relying on its powerful foundation, the Eastern Imperial Court suppressed the uprising. However, in order to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future, the Human Emperor of that generation could not overthrow himself because the royal family was the largest landlord. So he issued an order prohibiting the people from practicing Taoism. Once discovered, their Qi Sea would be destroyed and they would be exiled to the bitter and cold northwest.
As a result, the art of cultivating immortals became exclusive to the upper class and the sects.
As long as the lower classes have no power, any resistance can be easily suppressed.
The Emperor intends to use this to ensure the eternal stability of his country.
But unfortunately, this move made the human race in the East weaker and weaker. Eventually, under a powerful enemy, the Human Emperor died in battle and the Imperial Court fell apart.
After the Eastern Imperial Court, the three holy places of Dongzhou will inherit this fertile land of the East.
In order to avoid further uprisings, Daode Zong led the policy of small country and few people.
There are hundreds of countries in the East, big and small. In this way, in addition to being unable to form a dragon vein, it is also impossible to gather sand to form a tower. Even if one of the countries collapses, at most a small area will be eroded, and it can be left to self-regulate.
Moreover, under the distribution of the Daode Sect, among these hundreds of countries, there are Yuanying forces, or there were Yuanying forces in the past, and these territories were also allocated to them.
Even if one of the forces rises and has a few more Nascent Soul cultivators, the Nascent Soul forces in the surrounding countries will immediately become alert and unite to suppress it.
Unless a peerless figure like Chen Mobai appears, it would be almost impossible to develop into a new holy land under such a policy.
Under such circumstances, the Daode Sect also recognized the holy land that could be rolled out.
Compared with the Eastern Land Imperial Court, the three major holy places in Dongzhou are now willing to let the forces below see a path to progress.
This is consistent with the system of the Immortal Sect.
All we can say is that all paths lead to the same destination, and the wisdom of the ancients and the solutions they came up with are all the same.
But in this case, the current situation in Donghuang is somewhat similar to that of the Eastern Land Imperial Court.
After all, the Five Elements Sect now has no shortage of food because of Zhuo Ming, a master of farming. Mortals can even have a meal of spiritual rice every few days.
Because the Eastern Wasteland was the first to reform agriculture, the population exploded, with a couple having at least five or six children, and sometimes even more than ten. With enough rice and meat to feed them, the physical fitness of the new generation of humans has already caught up with the heyday of the Eastern Land Imperial Court.
Almost every household has a child with spiritual roots.
Even among the mortal families under the Five Elements Sect, there is a tendency to give birth to children with spiritual roots.
Compared to the East, where the three major holy places and hundreds of Nascent Soul forces are sharing the profits, the three border regions of Dongzhou are currently left to the Five Elements Sect to choose.
For all the children who were diagnosed with spiritual roots, their parents would try their best to send them to the various universities of the Five Elements Sect. This was also the case for the three territories of Dongtu, Dongling, and Dongyue that were not part of the Five Elements Sect.
Even students from the more distant Dongli province are included in the current Five Elements Sect Academy.
Only those who are eliminated from these academies will consider going to other sects.
It is precisely for this reason that, although the number of Nascent Soul and Core Forming cultivators in the Five Elements Sect is still at the bottom among all the holy lands, their foundation building and Qi training have already caught up in the past hundred years and are now ranked first in Dongzhou.
The reason why Chen Mobai remembered these things was because True Lord Wuchen mentioned it.
The incarnation gods of the four holy places in Dongzhou are currently above the Snow Mountain Sect.
"My dear Chen, at this rate, in a few hundred years, the number of disciples of our three sects combined may not be comparable to that of your Five Elements Sect alone." True Lord Wuchen said meaningfully.
“Oh, I didn’t expect that the three border areas of Dongzhou have been governed into a prosperous imperial court by my friend.” It seemed that Zhenjun Dakong just knew this. After hearing what Wuchen said, he was greatly impressed but also slightly surprised.
Ni Yuanzhong said nothing.
Chen Mobai naturally understood what they meant and couldn't help but laugh: "I am also lucky. When I was young, I accepted Ming'er as my disciple. She improved a lot of spiritual rice seeds, and even mortal rice seeds, so that everyone had enough food to eat, which led to the current prosperity of the Five Elements."
True Lord Wuchen knew Chen Mobai's personality. After praising Zhuo Ming, he simply opened up and said, "My friend, you have been in seclusion these years, but you don't know that many children with spiritual roots in the hundreds of countries in the East have been painstakingly sent to your East Desert by their parents to take the entrance examination in order to join your Five Elements Sect. This matter has caused many local forces in the East to complain, and they have come to our sect and want us to come forward and report this situation to you."
The impact on their three holy places was not that great. After all, if they could be admitted into the holy places, they would definitely not travel thousands of miles to the Five Elements Sect.
Because in the Five Elements Sect, no matter how good one's spiritual roots and talents are, everyone is treated equally. One has to take the entrance exam and pass the exam in the academy for six years before one is eligible to join the Five Elements Sect.
In other words, there is one screening process for admission to the academy and another one for admission to the sect. In recent years, except for a few people recommended by the academy, the rest who have been able to join the Five Elements Sect are all kings of kings.
As a result, the ten true disciples of the Five Elements Sect have now reached the point where they may not even be able to become disciples even after completing their foundation building.
Last year, there was even a disciple who had failed to be selected for the true teachings and had reached the perfect foundation. After returning to the cave, he succeeded in forming a pill in a fit of anger. Chen Mobai was very surprised when he heard about this.
It is estimated that even if he had gone there back then, he might not be able to suppress all the people of the same level in the Five Elements Sect today.
"Since it's the senior who asked, I must give him some face."
"How about this. After I return, I will issue a new order to open up private schools, so that forces other than the Five Elements Sect can also establish schools in the three border regions of Dongzhou to recruit students."
"However, we can only use the admissions policy within the permitted scope. After admission, students must study in the local area for six years and they can only be taken away to the East if they are willing."
As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Wu Chen and the other three gods all opened their eyes wide.
"Then can the three of us go?"
Wu Chen asked somewhat embarrassedly.
Although the appeal of their three families is above that of the Five Elements Sect in Dongzhou, and currently still above that of the Five Elements Sect, the hundreds of millions of people in the three border areas of Dongzhou, who are almost as strong as those in the heyday of the Eastern Land Imperial Court, still make them salivate.
The main thing is that if they don't compete, in the next few hundred years, the number and quality of disciples of the Five Elements Sect may be enough to overwhelm the three of them.
However, Chen Mobai's cultivation was too strong, and they had a good relationship with him, so they couldn't use any other means.
The original plan was to wait until Chen Mobai ascended to heaven, and then find a way to divide up the huge demographic dividend of the Five Elements Sect.
But unexpectedly, Chen Mobai was so easy to talk to and opened up right away.
“Fair competition is definitely welcomed.”
"After all, it would not be a good thing if my sect dominated alone."
"As my cultivation level increases, I can no longer manage every detail of the affairs below. As time goes by, there will definitely be corruption among the sect disciples."
"Having you, the great sects from the Eastern Land Holy Land, come to run schools here can also put some restraint on the people below, so that they won't act recklessly or get carried away, and it can also give them some competitive pressure."
"We must learn from the past experience of the Eastern Land Imperial Court."
Chen Mobai's last sentence made Wu Chen and the other two shudder slightly.
