There is such a saying in the Holy Sect of Liantian City: The Holy Sect is the Holy Sect of the people of the world.

As the undoubted leader of the Xiangzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm, the Holy Sect's business philosophy is to embrace all rivers and rivers, and there is no class in teaching. For two thousand years, the Holy Sect has never closed its doors to the people of the world, as long as they can pass the strict and standardized trial procedures, even immortal cultivators from ordinary backgrounds and no background can worship under the Holy Sect and receive the most advanced immortal path cultivation guidance.

At present, there are 300 immortal cultivators officially registered in the Holy Sect, and more than 250 are from immortal cultivation sects other than the Holy Sect, and more than one-fifth of them are scattered cultivators who have no background at all.

This ratio can be said to be contrary to common sense, no matter how the general immortal cultivation sect takes openness and inclusiveness as its selling point, after a hundred years of inheritance, it will also produce a group of interest groups, gradually solidify the class, and obstruct the entry of outsiders. The children of the formation of the nobility are also nobles, and the children of commoners can only be commoners.

However, the Holy Sect has been inherited for more than 2,000 years, and it is neither forbidden to marry and have children nor to cultivate successors within the sect, so the class solidification should have been more serious.

But to this day, the Holy Sect is still the Holy Sect of the people of the world, not the Holy Sect of the Holy Sect's family.

In addition to the inheritance of the bloodline of the sect master and the hereditary replacement, the rest of the elders, envoys and other positions are open to the people of the world, and the capable live in them. Over the past 2,000 years, there has almost never been a phenomenon of "the son inheriting the father's business" in the Holy Sect, and there is very little relationship of interest among the successive elders and envoys. Because of this, the Holy Sect was able to maintain his neutrality for two thousand years, and thus maintain his prestige.

If you think rationally, there is a problem with this.

If a person is not a sage, who can be unselfish? Who doesn't want a successor to an important position to follow their will? And an immortal cultivator who has the ability to pass the Holy Sect's trial and finally reach the elder level is of course easier than others to cultivate an heir who meets the standards of the Holy Sect. In this case, why has the Holy Sect not seen any sons inheriting their father's business and holding together interests for two thousand years?

Of course, this is not because the Saint Sect's immortal cultivators have a high level of consciousness, but because the first Sect Master has deliberately suppressed the grouping and expansion of the Holy Sect's internal forces through the recruitment process.

Of course, the entry trial of the Holy Sect, the procedure is strict and unified, it is the same set of procedures for everyone, and the process is also transparent and open, since the trial process began two thousand years ago, it has been subject to the joint supervision of the three academies and seven families, and some monks who have failed to pass the trial but have shown excellent talents can also be favored by famous families.

Then, with the progress of the times and the development of civilization, there was even a live broadcast business recently, led by an emerging technology company in Jinyucheng, which quickly rolled out a live broadcast network all over the world. Each entry trial of the Holy Sect can attract hundreds of millions of viewers, bringing extremely rich live broadcast income, even if the trialist fails to enter the Holy Sect in the end and is not selected by the Three Academies and Seven Families, as long as he shows enough excellent personal talent, he can also sign a live broadcast contract with the company in Jin Yucheng, and from then on

So, how do you deliberately screen in such a transparent and open process?

The plan given by the Holy Sect is a simple and crude bonus point policy, providing all kinds of bonus points for those immortal cultivators with poor congenital conditions and relatively poor growth environment, until the internal personnel structure is balanced, and the second generation of immortals has no special advantages.

Of course, this kind of bonus policy will face criticism, since it is a fair and open trial process, and there is no risk of leaking questions in advance for insiders, why should they give extra points to others? The purpose of the Holy Sect Trial is to be able to accurately invest immortal cultivation resources to people with better qualifications and broader growth prospects, so immortal cultivators who have been trained by internal personnel since childhood obviously have a better foundation and are more suitable to accept the resources of the Holy Sect. For the sake of the so-called structural balance, what good is it for the overall interests of the Holy Sect to add points to outsiders with inferior qualifications?

In the face of such criticism, the answer given by the Holy Sect Sect Master was very simple: there was no benefit, it was purely to balance the internal personnel structure.

The Holy Sect is the Holy Sect of the people of the world, not the Holy Sect of the Holy Sect. No matter how successful the insider's early childhood education is, no matter how good the heir is cultivated, it is only the Holy Sect's own resources after all. And in the vast land of Xiangzhou, there are still thousands of immortal cultivators who cannot get such a young education.

Do you want to abandon them all?

Indeed, with the abundance of resources at the Holy Sect's disposal, even if the external door was closed from the beginning and the internal cycle of reproduction was carried out, it would ensure that the Holy Sect would have supreme dominance in terms of strength. But in this way, the Holy Sect will no longer be the Holy Sect of the people of the world.

A sect that works behind closed doors, isolated from the outside world, but high up, is destined to go to the opposite side of the world in the long historical development.

The first Sect Master of the Holy Sect had read a large number of historical materials left over from the Flood Era and made his own judgment. No matter how good the immortal cultivation sect is, it must not lose its connection with the people of the world. Therefore, it is better to sacrifice the interests of the insiders, to slow down the progress of the Holy Sect, and to ensure that the Holy Sect can unite everyone around him.

——

"The above is the historical reason why this envoy was able to enter the Holy Sect, thanks to this bonus point system, in the past few years, the proportion of homosexuals in the group of immortal cultivators around Liantian City has been surging rapidly. Not long ago, Shen Cheng's glorious achievements in Shen Jinghai have given great encouragement to homosexuals, and even in some areas, heterosexuality has become an original sin...... How is it, are you despairing of the immortal cultivation world in Xiangzhou? ”

Zhao Shenlu didn't care at all about Zhang Qing's iron blue complexion beside him, almost overflowing from behind the cyan mask, and unscrupulously laughed at the other party's sexual orientation and the Holy Sect's bonus point system.

However, after a long silence, Wang Jiu said, "I think that this kind of overkill Holy Sect is more suitable for human beings than the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance in Kyushu. ”

At the mention of the Wanxian League, Zhao Shenlu's smile also retracted, and after a while, she let out a light breath and said: "Indeed, compared to homosexuality, the Wanxian League was more disgusting back then, but fortunately, the most disgusting ones were crushed into foam by your sword in the Da Luo Jin Immortal, otherwise I really don't want to rely on the framework of the Wanxian League to be a Nine Immortals." ”

"Therefore, although there are indeed many suspicious things about this Holy Sect, and it is even difficult to explain its causes with historical laws, its existence still has more advantages than disadvantages for Xiangzhou."

“…… Yes, although I hate the old sect master, I must also admit that this Holy Sect is no matter how suspicious it is...... It's also worth respecting. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an old laugh not far away.

"Hahaha, it's really not easy to hear City Lord Zhao's words, we've known each other for so many years, and your positive evaluation of the Holy Sect doesn't exceed three sentences."

Zhao Shenlu frowned: "Three sentences? Old man, you're making yourself amorous again. ”

"Haha, it's really self-inflicted, it's been twenty years, this is the only time you use praise to describe our Holy Sect, I couldn't believe my ears just now, and I thought it was hurt by the Flood Desolate Heart Demon."

As he spoke, an old man with a tall posture and strong spirit appeared in front of several people.

He didn't look as old as his voice, although he had silver hair and two silver eyebrows hanging down from both sides of his eyes, his skin remained delicate and smooth like that of a young man, and his eyes were even brighter and brighter.

Judging from the Outer Heaven Divine Sword's understanding of human beings, the actual age of this old man should be not young, at least 100 years old, but in his entire life journey, he is still on the border between youth and prime.

This is an immortal cultivator who has a lifespan of more than 300 years and has several decades to ascend to the immortal cultivation.

Judging from the law of human life expectancy in Xiangzhou, the natural life span can exceed 300 years old, and it is not a strong person who has reached the peak of the true yuan realm and is based on the top of Xiangzhou.

Since the Outer Heaven Divine Sword has awakened, it has seen many powerhouses, Li Fengyun and Li Tianya of Qingyun City, Shen Ruoshi of Shencheng, and Zhao Shenlu of Jinyucheng are all top powerhouses in Xiangzhou.

But compared with the 100-year-old man in front of him, he is a little inferior.

There is no doubt that this old man is the first person in Xiangzhou that the Outer Heaven Divine Sword has ever seen, and the unique true yuan fluctuations emanating from the other party's body made Wang Jiu instantly lock his identity.

Holy Sect Master.

However, at the same time as locking this identity, in the sword world, a long sword that Wang Jiu often used to search for people and things also trembled imperceptibly.

This kind of undetectable is like thunder to the master of the sword world.

Wang Jiu reacted almost instantly.

The pure white divine sword body gently drooped down a few points.

Otherwise, the edge on the sword body will irrepressibly alarm the opponent.

Then, Wang Jiu once again focused his attention and observed the pitch-black finger demon sword in the sword world, and this time, the black sword did not react at all.

Illusion? Error? Or is it a malfunction caused by the change of the laws of heaven and earth in Xiangzhou? Or, what's the other reason?

For a while, Wang Jiu was silent, and focused all his attention on the small movements in the sword world.

Zhao Shenlu noticed Wang Jiu's abnormality and immediately smiled and covered for him.

"Old man, I remember that I asked that there should be no idle people who affect your appetite at the reception banquet, what are you here for?"

The Holy Sect Master said: "Rub the rice, the standard of your meal is much higher than my old man's working meal, and I can only eat two bites of this mountain and sea delicacies during the New Year's Festival......

"Excuse me, you come to rub the rice to affect your appetite."

The sect master frowned and said: "You are not kind, you have a visit, and the reception expenses are all 200,000 spirit stones, all of which are paid by the Holy Sect, and now I, the sect master, can't even eat?" ”

Zhao Shenlu sneered: "Your Holy Sect's reception expenses were not recovered?" Tell me, what problems do you need my help with this time? ”

The sect master nodded: "There is indeed a very troublesome problem that needs your help, to be precise, it needs the help of the person next to you." ”
