Chapter 39 [First Glimpse of the World]
"The successive sect masters of the Northern Sect are the most non-existent sect masters of the Great Apocalypse, even among the cultivators, even in the inner courtyard of the Northern Sect, there are very few people who have seen the past generations of sect masters, this is not because they are all low-key and unassuming, but because the Northern Sect has never needed a sect master. His Majesty the Emperor is the true suzerain of the Northern Sect! Although no one would openly announce this, this is the truth. Lu Zhangcha said.
Yuan Lai felt that this matter was unexpected, since the Northern Sect could be established in such a close position to the imperial palace in the capital, it must have a great relationship with the imperial family. From another point of view, since there are powerful and invincible great cultivators in this world, how could the royal family, as the ruler, lack this kind of magical power?
Looking down on the world, with the people below it, and a few people above it, how could an emperor who could balance the world not touch this great world of cultivation?
"I'm more curious about Nanzong. Yuan Lai said with a smile: "Cultivation requires huge resources, since the Northern Sect is the emperor's, then naturally there will be no shortage of material supplies, so what does the Southern Sect rely on to compete with the emperor?"
The street beneath their feet was long and quiet, and there were all the mansions of the dignitaries nearby, where the most sophisticated parts of the machine of the Kikook were gathered, and they were the most solid cornerstones of the imperial power, and it was here that the two young men began to talk about the imperial power with some brazenness. It's a very strange scene, but the two people who are the parties don't notice the slightest problem.
Lu Zhangcha is a closed disciple of the big man of Taihu Lake (Zhenze), although he has been practicing in the sect for a long time, but he also has to come into contact with those big things related to the family and the country, his background is very good, and he has a strong sect as a backing, so although he is young, it is easier and more necessary than many elders in the world to touch those things that float above the heads of ordinary people.
Yuan Lai, on the other hand, has a lifelong memory, and he is no stranger to political intrigue in that memory.
Therefore, when such two young people start to talk about the world, it will seem extremely commensurate and harmonious.
"...... of the Southern Sect" Lu Zhangcha's eyes were a little distant, he subconsciously looked at a certain place in the capital and then said: "The Southern Sect is indeed not the opponent of the Northern Sect in terms of accumulation and resources, in other words, no one in the world will be the opponent of the Northern Sect, but the so-called resources are for one purpose after all, that is, to cultivate a truly extraordinary powerhouse." ”
"In the first 300 years of the establishment of the Southern Sect, the Southern Sect relied on the financial support of the wealthy and noble families of the old dynasty to cultivate talents, and after 300 years, it was no longer difficult to be trapped by the worldly money expenditure! Just because the Southern Sect would emerge the strongest cultivators on the continent in every era! In every generation, the cultivators of the Southern Sect have never been absent from the ranks of the strongest people of the present generation! Maybe it's the favor of the heavens, or maybe it's his own efforts and wisdom, in short, no matter how time passes, how things change, no matter how strong the Northern Sect is, the Southern Sect will always be in the first place among the top cultivators!"
Lu Zhangcha said with more and more emotion and admiration, and he continued: "Even if he is an emperor who enjoys the world, even if there are countless elixirs piled up in the deep palace, even if there is a great star picker who has been secretly passed down by the royal family, but no emperor has ever dared to tear his face with Nanzong, because no emperor has the confidence to be able to retreat in the battle of Nanzong! Therefore, Nanzong was able to become the only sect on the mainland that can compete with the royal family. My teachers always said that this was a miracle. ”
Yuan Lai couldn't help but feel agitated, this is like nuclear deterrence, as long as there is a destructive force, then no matter how bad the environment is, it can ensure continuity, the same in ancient and modern times, the Great Revelation and China are the same, no matter how the world changes, people's hearts will never change, so some things will always not change in essence.
"It's just...... This kind of Southern Sect is still too dangerous, right?If the strongest person of the Southern Sect in this era falls, then wouldn't it be easy to cut it off?" Yuan Lai couldn't help but ask in amazement.
Generally speaking, this should be the case, but it should not be so easy to draw conclusions. Lu Zhangcha said lightly: "If it was the Southern Sect in the past, it might really decline because of the fall of the strongest, this kind of case has been staged in countless small and medium-sized sects, and there are many lessons from the past. But now, it will not be so easy for the Southern Sect to completely decline, and the accumulation of these years will always allow the Southern Sect to have some powerful means, such as ...... The sect master who had been meditating on the banks of the Qinghong River for three hundred years still didn't know what kind of realm he had reached, and if he woke up one day, he really couldn't imagine the situation. ”
"Three hundred years of meditation?" Yuan Lai was a little skeptical.
He had heard the story of the Southern Sect Master three hundred years ago more than once, and probably different versions of the story would always be a little different, of course, the same elements were common, such as respect for him.
But it was still difficult for Yuan Lai to accept the matter of sitting for three hundred years without dying.
Lu Zhangcha said with a smile: "Say that, in fact, no one can tell whether the old sect master is alive or dead now, and more people think that the sect master has already passed away as an immortal, after all, how difficult it is to have a three-hundred-year lifespan? ”
......
......
The two walked along the street together, alternating words and words, and when they finally reached the end, Lu Zhangcha was about to leave.
"Not going to sit at my house?"
"Still no, I'm going to visit the Beizong Mountain Gate, there are still some things to deal with, but it is estimated that the time to stay in the capital is limited, and it may not be time to wait for the assessment of the Mountain Gate." ”
"That's a bit of a pity. Yuan Lai said with a smile.
Lu Zhangcha smiled slightly, and suddenly seemed to remember something: "It is also very close to the entrance examination of the Northern Sect, and I am afraid that candidates from all over the world will gather in the capital these days, and it will also be the most lively time in the capital. Since you want to take the Northern Sect exam, you still have to go to the Qinhuai River for a walk. ”
"Qinhuai River?, the river in front of Wang Xie's family?" Yuan Lai felt that this place name was very familiar.
"Exactly, according to the custom, in the first ten days of the examination in the Northern Sect, there are candidates gathered in the Qinhuai River, whether it is just to look at the opponent or to make friends with people, it is always a good thing, although I have never taken the Northern Sect, but I also know that it is always better to be with someone in this exam than alone, if you can make a few companions in advance, the chance of passing the exam will be greater. ”
It was the first time Yuan Lai had heard of such a thing, and he couldn't help but be fascinated, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Since that's the case, then I'm definitely going to take a look." ”
It's just that after saying this sentence, Yuan Lai silently added another sentence in his heart:
But...... Until then, I think I still have something to do.
Like what...... Reach the first realm.
Yuan Lai waved his hand and said goodbye to Zhenze's heir, and the corners of his mouth showed an arc full of expectation.
