Chapter 234: The General's Intentions
Penglai Island, the Central Square Douluo Contest is officially holding the final ranking of the Douluo Competition.
Due to the particularity of this year's Douluo Competition, the official did not arrange a confrontation match in the last game as usual, but directly ranked by the players' cultivation and resources.
Although there is no way to compare the number of matches in this year's Douluo Competition compared to previous years, the quantity and quality of geniuses have been greatly improved compared to usual, especially the cultivation of top geniuses.
In previous years, the players who participated in the Douluo Competition, at the end of the Douluo Competition, the highest cultivation was only to directly break through to the third-grade Qi Martial Zun, but this year, there were more than a dozen first-grade Qi Martial Monarchs, and when their large army returned from the sea abyss, it shocked the entire Penglai Island.
Of course, what shocked them was not only that, these geniuses actually spontaneously formed a group, called Lingjie, at the beginning of the establishment of this force, it was already much stronger than many old players in Penglai Island who were not strong.
With such a strong strength as Penglai Sanzong, he sent people to wait near the central square early, and sent people to contact the geniuses or family members of those geniuses who rushed back in advance, hoping that they could join him.
In the past, they used this method to win over geniuses and made a lot of promises, and most of the geniuses would choose to join them because of the name of Penglai Villa and those attractive cultivation resources, but this time things have changed.
After those geniuses went home, they told their parents what happened in the Spirit Void Realm, most of their parents were old fritters in the realm of Qi Martial King, and after knowing that Ji Ling's background came from the spirit realm, they instructed their juniors to follow Ji Ling's footsteps firmly.
They have now joined the Mausoleum Realm and become Ji Ling's own people, if they can make a name for themselves in the Mausoleum Realm, they may not be able to follow Ji Ling's side in the future, in that case, they will definitely enter the higher level world of the Spirit Realm through Ji Ling.
Compared with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, whether or not you can enter the Penglai Three Sects is not so important.
Although the three sects of Penglai also have some background in the spiritual world, it is very difficult to get out of the three sects of Penglai, and there are only a few people who have entered the spiritual world through the three sects of Penglai in the past few decades.
Therefore, this year, the competitive advantage of the three sects of Penglai was eclipsed in front of the Jingling interface.
Everyone on Penglai Island knows that the key to the matter lies in Ji Ling, and Ji Ling is the general's side, and it is not easy to meet Ji Ling on weekdays.
And there are some people with better eyes who have seen several women who are following Ji Ling, such as Yang Yi and Xie Wuwu, who have had a relatively large conflict with the disciples of the three sects of Penglai, so the possibility of their Ling realm joining the three sects of Penglai is not so great.
Therefore, the other sects were eager to move, and they waited near the central square early, and even some people wanted to secretly contact Ji Ling.
This time, everyone is a fair competition, whoever can win the favor of Ji Ling will be able to get a complete mausoleum realm and get the opportunity to dominate Penglai Island in the next few hundred years.
The general returned from afar and was shocked to hear what happened to Ji Ling.
Before, he was only a descendant of Empress Ji Lingling, which made him a little jealous, but now he saw the infinite potential of Ji Ling, especially the kind of thing that led his subordinates to advance to the Qi Martial Monarch together, which made him even more frightened.
He even expected that one day in the future, Ji Ling and his subordinates would all reach the high-level Lingwu realm, and at that time, the realm he had now would have no arrogant capital in front of Ji Ling.
The days of the general as a superior are not short, and he is very clear about these twists and turns underneath, and has a very keen perception of the crises that will occur in the future.
Ji Ling is now a hidden dragon out of the sea, showing an invincible momentum on his body, basically no one can suppress him, although the general has some power in Zhongzhou, but in the spirit world is not enough at all.
Now that he has Ji Ling's opportunity, he may be able to follow the Huang Tengda, so he feels that he should think about redefining the relationship between him and Ji Ling.
First of all, it is definitely impossible to go up and down, if he dares to be Ji Ling's superior now, then he will definitely become his subordinate one day in the future.
It seems to be a very good idea to be on an equal footing with Ji Ling, and it is also the relationship that the general is most willing to accept now.
In terms of the status of the two people now, if the general and Ji Ling worship their sons as brothers, no matter how you look at it, Ji Ling will benefit from it and the general will surrender his identity.
But if you take a long-term view, such a relationship hides some hidden dangers.
Just imagine, if Ji Ling's development goes smoothly in the future and he becomes a monk of the high-level Spirit Martial Realm, and he is just a great spirit master, can the two of them be brothers?
Although he is not very willing to admit it, the general also has to say that unless he becomes Ji Ling's subordinate, then he does not have to worry about Ji Ling's cultivation rising too fast, and one day he will surpass himself in the future.
This is a very difficult decision, the general chose to be a brother with Ji Ling on an equal footing, it is already regarded as a self-surrendering identity, if he discards his face and becomes Ji Ling's subordinate directly, it will definitely become the talk of the entire Zhongzhou.
Just because of this one thing, the general had a headache and struggled for several days.
In the end, it was one of his soldiers who inspired him.
That little soldier used to be his countryman, and he was born a little better than he had been. If he hadn't developed to his current position, when he saw that little soldier, he might have to call him a son.
However, now that little soldier saw him, he was not even qualified to look at him directly.
The general felt that if a person of Xiaobing's status wanted to be a brother to him at the beginning, he must be very happy, and he would feel that he had taken a big advantage. But now seeing the little soldier's submissive appearance, he felt that it was a very right thing for him not to be a brother.
Pushing himself and others, exchanging positions, the general feels that one day in the future, Ji Ling will definitely think like this.
But if this little soldier is not his brother, but his retinue or bodyguard, now with his ability and status as a general, he will definitely give him a lifetime of glory and wealth, and let him follow him to soar.
In this way, the thoughts in the general's heart are completely clear, and the reason why he is unwilling to be a skilled entourage is just that he can't wipe off his face.
If he thought like this, Ji Ling was the heir of a certain Spirit Emperor, and he was just a Great Spirit Master with a low cultivation, then the identities of the two had been very different from the time they were born.
If he was really the spirit emperor's subordinate, then when he saw Ji Ling, he could only kneel on the ground and bow his head and shout the young master, let alone being a brother with him, even if he was not qualified to be his entourage.
The general feels that he is a person who does great things, so he must take a very long-term view, and he must not only focus on the immediate gains and losses. Being a subordinate or retinue for a few years now may seem like a very unfortunate thing, but thousands of years from now, absolutely no one will dare to say that it is a failed investment.
Gamble or not, dare to bet?
The general tortured himself constantly, and finally came to a conclusion.
Bet! Why don't you dare to bet?
Is he really willing to stay in Zhongzhou and be the emperor of the soil for the rest of his life? What's the point of that?
His dream is to go to the spirit world, and his battlefield is also in the wider world of the spirit world, instead of being a pug wagging his tail and begging for mercy to others in the spirit world, it is better to be a dignified dog for Ji Ling now.
If you win the bet, you won't lose anything if you lose!
The great general finally made up his mind, but now that the final ranking of the Douluo Competition has begun, after the spiritual energy empowerment, it will be time for the major geniuses to choose the sect.
Since the general has decided to devote himself to the command of skills, how can he let him join other sects, and let some people whose strength and status are not as good as his own be a generation more than himself?
For the general, the best result is, of course, that Ji Ling himself opened a sect, and when he joins Ji Ling's sect, he can still obtain a high status, so that although he is actually a subordinate of the enemy, he does seem to be an elder and a pioneer on the surface, and he will gain fame and fortune.
Today is a big day, and the general himself does not dare to be hasty, since he has made a decision, he must calm his mentality, and he must not treat him like he did with the same attitude towards Ji Ling as before.
He led a team of soldiers to the central square in a murderous manner, to build momentum for Ji Ling and the spirit world.
At this time, the central square was already crowded with dense people, surrounded by water, and some of the more powerful sects occupied a better position inside, and they observed the scenes of those geniuses being empowered by the aura at close range, and selected those who had great potential to enter their own sects.
This time the aura empowerment ceremony was even more massive and more expensive than the previous ones.
Since there are many geniuses who have entered the realm of Qi Wu Jun this time, surpassing any previous Douluo Competition, the official of the Douluo Competition did not skimp this time, and directly took out more than a dozen places for spiritual energy empowerment to baptize those geniuses who became Qi Wu Jun and consolidate their cultivation.
These geniuses whose cultivation is higher than each of them are people from the Mausoleum Realm, and the Douluo Competition also understands the meaning of this, not only to win over these geniuses, but also to win over Ji Ling.
All kinds of big forces, whether they recruit disciples or not, are actually already secretly exerting their efforts and making moves towards Ji Ling.
Ji Ling received the aura empowerment, and his cultivation could have been upgraded in a rocket-like way, but he still used the black dragon ball to temporarily seal his cultivation.
I have just made a big splash, and now it is not appropriate to fight out and jump up and down, and proper clumsiness will be of great benefit to my future development path.
And then it was an important moment to choose a sect, he didn't want his cultivation to have reached the realm of the Qi Martial King, which was higher than the elders or heads of some sects.
He chose the sect not to see if you are strong in itself, but to see if the two sides can see if they are fated to see each other.
Ji Ling deeply believed in his heart that as long as any sect had its own joining, it would definitely become the strongest sect in the entire Penglai Island, and it was only a matter of time before it surpassed the three sects of Penglai.
In fact, when Ji Ling decided to participate in the Douluo Competition at the beginning, he wanted to join the three sects of Penglai, but unfortunately the last time they met, the practices of the three sects of Penglai were too bad, which left a very bad impression on him, so when he chose the sect this time, he directly filtered out the three sects and didn't consider it at all.
The aura empowerment lasted for a morning before it finally ended, and these geniuses all got great benefits from it, and their cultivation has risen slightly, and some people with better talents such as Yang Yi and An Ran, that's right, there is an An Ran mixed in here, although he is not a participant in the Douluo Competition, but for Ji Ling's sake, everyone will turn a blind eye to her.
An Ran didn't expect that she could still get such treatment, and she originally felt very guilty about occupying a place for spiritual energy empowerment, but when the official of Douluo University took out more than a dozen places and clearly said that these were given to Ji Ling's Mausoleum Realm, she finally settled down.
It was only now that she realized how vicious her mother's vision was, and how powerful the backer she was looking for was.
When it was noon, it was already time for lunch, and those geniuses who had received the aura empowerment were not in a hurry, but went home to eat and rest, and waited until the afternoon to make the official ranking and sect selection.
But even so, none of the people gathered in the central square dispersed, even if they had relatively strong face and strength, the three sects of Penglai did not remove people, and once they left, there was no way to come back.
When the general arrived at the central square, he thought that he had missed the opportunity, and he was relieved after understanding the situation.
He could have gone directly to Ji Ling to discuss it in private now, but he didn't do it, but wanted to wait for the sect's choice to officially start, he stood up and put forward this proposal, using his own strength and status to deter everyone present and smoothly promote the development of this matter.
In this way, maybe the people of those sects will have some resentment in their hearts, but they will only target themselves and will not be transferred to Ji Ling's head.
