Kong Ming didn't expect that there were so many strong people in Zhongzhou, there were thousands of venerables in one sect, if you added those small gangs and small factions and those endless so-called scattered cultivators, the number of venerables in the entire continent would definitely be more, relatively speaking, how deep the water in Huatian Continent was, he didn't know very well until now, but he definitely knew one thing, that is, the water in Huatian Continent would definitely not be shallow, otherwise, Huatian Continent would have been a mess by the powerhouses of other continents, where is it still as quiet as now? What's more, even a demon like Kamo only dares to use an excuse every two thousand years to come to Huatian Continent to make a small fuss and leave after the incident. Of course, it is a small fight for those who are strongest, but it is a catastrophe for civilians who have no power to fight back. It's hard to accept, but it's true. Kong Ming kept thinking, in the original plan, with tens of millions of gods, to go to Zhongzhou or gain a foothold or really have some difficulties, although he can also get countless Venerables in this process, using this powerful power, and dealing with those sects, but sometimes, the decisive thing in the war is outside the war, not within the war.

"What's the matter, don't you feel that there are some difficulties?" Tang Mingye saw Kong Ming's silent face, and sighed a little in his heart, the enemy was too strong, and his own strength was too weak, think about how powerful Mingzong was at that time? However, in the end, it was not the same as ending up in ashes, only he escaped from the disaster with a part of his people, leaving this little seed for Mingzong. This is one of the reasons why they figured out that Guò participated in the ranking battle to gain a foothold in Zhongzhou, but it was really too difficult. With the five Venerables of them, there is only one Intermediate Venerable. Four Beginner Venerables, this kind of strength used to be tantamount to throwing themselves into the mouth of a tiger.

"I really admire your courage!" Ku Ming sighed. The five major sects in Zhongzhou are so powerful, as for the other sects, although they are weak, they are also relative to the five major sects, for Kong Ming, they are all behemoths now, and they can't afford to offend, of course, if it is said that it will be ten years later. Then I don't know which one is strong or weak.

"Hehe, in your opinion, is this a desperate gamble?" Yun Pingtai said, and the others laughed after hearing Yun Pingtai's voice. These laughter made Kong Ming wonder if there was something in it that he didn't know. After seeing Kong Ming's suspicions, Yun Pingtai said directly:

"Things are not as you think, the so-called ranking battle is divided into ten games, and among the ten games, there are five kinds of spells, medicine training, formations, training weapons, and battles, and each of them is two, which are Venerable and God. In this way, with ten games as the final game, only one of them needs to be ranked third, and you can be ranked among the thirty sects. And once on the list. You will get a set of formations, and under the protection of this set of formations, you can keep it for a hundred years. No one was able to enter the Great Array. And in this way, it has become a de facto big faction. Yun Pingtai said directly. At this time, Kong Ming knew that the so-called Dabi was so simple, so the next thing was how to get into it. And won one of the third places.

Kong Ming shook his head, behind this matter. It's not that simple, you must know that no one will give people a fortress that can never be broken for no reason, and there is no unbreakable formation in this world, and the setting of these items is more like encouraging the innovation of spells, and the big array is to protect the growth of the person who has achieved the ranking, but I don't know when it started, and the nature of this may have changed.

"Why? I don't understand? Why don't I say it again?" Yun Pingtai said strangely, this doesn't sound like something incomprehensible, how can Kong Ming not understand? Everyone was also strange for a while, even the guide and goddess who were monitoring the entire meeting.

"No, it's not that I don't understand, it's just that I remember something else. Shaking his head, Kong Ming said for a while, looking at everyone's confused eyes, Kong Ming thought for a while, and then said: "In the place where I grew up, there is such a proverb: There is no free lunch in the world. ”

Hearing this slang sentence from Kong Ming, everyone felt a little strange, why did Kong Ming suddenly say such a sentence? In fact, whether it is in Zhongzhou or in the Huayuan Empire, there are similar slang, these things are the summary of many experiences among the common people, and of course there are many places that are applicable to monks.

"What do you mean?" Yun Pingtai asked in a deep voice, his instinct was that Kong Ming's next words would make them shake a lot.

Kong Ming shook his head, thought about it and directly expressed his doubts: "As an empire, the reason why there are some competitions and the like is to select outstanding talents for the empire's use, and these competitions are either writing articles, or jousting, or engineering, or singing, or painting, in short, there are all kinds of things, and so on." Speaking of this, Kong Ming paused slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "I have not experienced this kind of organization, but I think there should be a similar practice, that is, to use these competitions to select excellent monks, no matter what the specialty of this kind of monk is, in short, they will be the best in this sect in a certain aspect, and these monks will inevitably be cultivated as the pillars of the sect, I don't know if my sentence is correct or not?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Tang Mingye replied directly, he is now the sect master of Mingzong, and he was also the emperor of the Huayuan Empire, and his understanding of these things is far above that of Kongming, and even if he wants to say it, he can say countless truths and drawbacks.

"So what is the purpose of the big competition and ranking of the middle states? This point is very clear. In other words, behind all the sects in Zhongzhou, there is a huge force, this force needs talents, and because of the limited conditions, they will not directly cultivate talents, then they need to conduct a competition or something like that to select all the monks in the Zhongzhou Continent, and in order to let those talents leave the sect with confidence, and in order to let the sect let these people go willingly, then there need to be certain conditions. Well, if I'm not wrong. The security period within 100 years is not really to make them truly safe. It is to allow them to re-cultivate some pillars or let the sect cultivate a qualified talent when the pillars leave, so that the sect can pass on. I wonder if you will agree with me when I say this?"

Kongming's words are very clear, and there are not too many roundabouts, so it can be said that you can understand it as soon as you hear it.

"Can I understand it that way, do you mean that those seniors of our Mingzong who have won the rankings are alive?" Li Muxue couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement all over his body when he heard this, if this is true, then the restoration of Mingzong is just a matter between palms, where can it be so complicated?

Kong Ming looked at him with such excitement and was a little puzzled. But he also replied: "These are just my speculations so far, and there is no specific reason or evidence or anything like that." ”

"Even speculation is very remarkable, but because our Ming Sect fell too quickly, and I am the sect master who took over in danger, I really don't know these things very well. Tang Mingye said with some regret, his sect master can be said to have come extremely suddenly, in order to keep the sect master, after the sect master died, the great elder directly threw the position of the sect master of the Ming sect to him. And directly used the last resort to send him and some other elites of Mingzong directly away from the battle, leaving Mingzong who gave birth to him and raised him, and let him take the rest of the people to hide in Tibet continuously, until he even had to leave the Zhongzhou Continent. came to the Huatian Continent and took root, so that Mingzong's incense continued there, but. For fear that the enemy would come to the door and wipe them out. He had to divide the personnel into several strands and establish several states.

"Hmm. That's right, I vaguely remember that those senior brothers and sisters who got rankings seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and the sect masters and elders at that time didn't have any reaction to this. Yun Pingtai sighed, they had participated in several such conferences, so they knew a little more, but due to the limitations of strength and status, they didn't know much.

"Yes, my eldest brother only had a drink with me once after he got the ranking, and then he disappeared. Now that he thinks about it, he knows where he's going, but he can't tell me because of his secret. Li Muxue's excitement was quickly suppressed.

Kong Ming looked at this Venerable with some strange eyes, worthy of being a monster of more than two thousand years, he said that he would change, and he was much stronger than a child.

In the monitoring room, the guide and the goddess were very surprised when they watched this scene.

"It's really a talent!" the guide sighed, and he really had nothing to say about this empty light.

"Hehe, if they knew that that side was the territory of the fairy world, then it wouldn't be strange, but unfortunately, those people have always paid attention to a mysterious and mysterious thing, which is unpredictable, unlike us, just open your mouth and let people in, how good!" the goddess smiled.

"I really want to see what they will look like after they speculate, hmm, what should it be?" the guide laughed, some things are a secret to people of Kongming's level and outside the circle, but to people like them are nothing, that's the difference.

"If they do, do we need to erase this memory?" the goddess laughed.

"Why erase it? This is not something we accuse them of, and their own speculations, in any case, without proof, are just speculations, and cannot be counted. The guide laughed.

"Then what do you think the force behind that will be?" Tang Mingye said in a deep voice, this thing seemed to be a mystery through the ages, there were too many things hidden on it, making it really difficult for them to see clearly, but once these things were revealed, then they would become worthless.

Hearing this, all the people looked at Kong Ming, they really wanted to know Kong Ming's final answer.

"Above the mortal world are the three realms of gods and demons, and the god realm has formed this land of gods and demons in order to select more talents for the god realm, and the teleportation array of this land of gods and demons is based on the Huatian Continent, I think it is because this is mainly for divine cultivation, so it can be said that there should be a back of the god realm at the top of the Huatian Continent. Kong Ming said. The difference in the cultivation system between the two continents is too great, in the Huatian Continent, the holy level used to be a process of energy accumulation and understanding of various laws and rules, and after reaching the holy level, it was a deeper understanding of laws and rules. As for what Kong Ming said, Shenyuan can make a person directly become a god. There's nothing wrong with that, but. This kind of person who has become a god has no status in the divine realm, after all, they do not understand the law. They can only understand the power of laws and rules from the gods to make them truly strong, from this point of view, this is why people who fly from the mortal world to the god realm generally become strong, that is, because they have laid an excellent foundation before the gods, and unlike ordinary people in the god realm, they have no power, but they don't know how to use it, except for a longer life, it is really useless.

"Do you mean that behind the Zhongzhou Continent is the Immortal Realm?" Yun Pingtai said excitedly. Kong Ming's words were so direct that he also guessed directly. If his guess is true, then those who were ranked before Mingzong should be the powerhouses of the immortal world now, so who can make Mingzong disappear?

"It's just my guess, but it's true. Kong Ming said. It's just that what he is speculating now is if he leads the army directly into Zhongzhou. Will those immortals come out to stop it?

"In that case, what should we do?" Li Muxue asked, this was really a very tricky question, how powerful the power of the immortals was. They don't know, however, how powerful the God-man is. They already knew by now, after all, there were countless inheritance stone tablets here. There are also countless images for them to refer to, even if they are erased when they leave. However, that fear in the heart cannot be erased.

His question silenced everyone, it was a very strict question, not a sentence or two that could be answered, and Kong Ming even though he already had the answer in his heart, but, in this place, he had no way to say it, because there were two or more people watching here. There are things that they don't know now, so he can only be silent.

After a long time, Tang Mingye raised his head and looked at everyone: "No matter who is behind Zhongzhou, we have no reason to retreat, after all, we must return to Zhongzhou, back to the place where we grew up!"

Tang Mingye's resoluteness did not exceed everyone's expectations, everyone has a place that can be called home, a place where he grew up, Tang Mingye's is in Zhongzhou, and some people here were also born in Zhongzhou, so their desire is extremely strong, but there are also some people who were born in the Huayuan Empire, in their opinion, there is their hometown, as for Kongming, Kari is his hometown, it can be said that although it is the same ancestor, but because of the different feelings that individuals pour into different places, the hometown they identify is not the same, but if you just talk about the ancestral landThe ancestral land of all the people here is in one place - Zhongzhou. Therefore, in fact, in any Tang Mingye, they are very relieved to say some good things about Zhongzhou to these juniors.

"Actually, there is nothing difficult to do, after all, if our speculation is true, then our Mingzong also has power in the immortal world, and they will definitely not want us to wander like this, but prefer that we return to Zhongzhou and return to the ancestral land, this is where our hope lies. Yun Pingtai sighed, his heart was also extremely complicated now, after all, the hope he had just seen was shattered, even if he was a Venerable, it was difficult to ease up all of a sudden. So now I can only pin all my hopes on those slim things in the fairy world.

Or Yun Pingtai made a bad start, and most of the following discussions were this kind of self-pity, or they were pinned on some unrealistic things.

These discussions made Kong Ming really upset when he heard it, so he stood up directly and walked out, and none of them said anything after everyone saw it, after all, in their opinion, it was also a good choice to go out to breathe.

Seeing Kong Ming leaving, Li Feiyang also ran out secretly, and none of the people went to intercept him.

"Kong Ming, where are you now?" Li Feiyang asked from behind.

"Go back to sleep. Kong Ming said annoyedly.

"Sleep? What time is it, you go back to sleep! You know, after a while, those people will definitely gather everyone together and figure out a way. Li Feiyang said with some incredulity.

"Have you all gathered here to discuss it since you came here?" asked Kong Ming with some strange surprise. He didn't pick up Li Feiyang's topic, but staggered the topic and asked.

"How is that possible? It was only after you came back that the Sect Master gathered everyone together to report some information. After leaving that atmosphere, Li Feiyang's temperament also became free.

"And what do you usually do when you come here?" asked Ku Ming with some strange questions, but his steps didn't stop.

"What else can you do? Like everyone else, some go to perform some tasks, earn some divine stones or genius treasures and other things, some memorize exercises on the stone tablet, some exchange information with people from other continents, oh, and some times everyone gets together to exchange information. Li Feiyang replied with some puzzlement, Kong Ming said, he didn't know why Kong Ming asked this, aren't these all the consensus of everyone? However, now he just wants to pull Kong Ming back and let him continue the meeting.

"That's all?" Kong Ming asked a little strangely, these are the ways taken by others, and they are also the practices of most of the people who come here, no matter who it is, it is safe to follow the path taken by the public, even if it is wrong, it is not his fault alone, if he laughs, he will not only laugh at him, but a group of people, but this does not mean that these practices will be applicable to all people. Just like a whole, some people are good at long-distance running, some people are good at swimming, some people are good at sprinting, some people are good at high jump, some people are good at calligraphy, some are good at drawing, and so on. After all, after leaving here, many things related to cultivation will be sealed, so they can only follow the practice of most people, and they can more or less get some things, but if they follow their own path, they may not get it at all, of course, this is also why they have some objections to Kong Ming's hard work, anyway, there will be no harvest, what are they trying to do? This is also what most people think, but they don't know that the way of heaven is fair, work hard or get nothing, but if you don't work hard, you will definitely not get anything.

"That's all, what else do you think you can do? Like you, don't upgrade? Come on, now after upgrading, once these cultivations are sealed, then it is almost impossible to cultivate them back, you must know that many geniuses have directly upgraded because they have not held back here, and after they go back, almost no one will upgrade again, because their seals will directly seal the road they have walked. Li Feiyang said. There were endless sighs in his words, if he really cultivated, then in less than a month, he could directly advance to the Venerable, and there would be no problem at all in becoming a god within three years, who made the environment here so good? However, there was no way, he had to think about what would happen in the future, after all, once he was sealed, then he would never reach the Venerable One Day again.

Kong Ming was a little speechless, and he also knew this kind of thing, if he didn't have the recovery of the memories of his previous life, he would really use the kind of plan he had before, using his body to remember these exercises, not his own memory, and until now he has given people the same feeling, that is, desperately practicing, cultivating, and practicing again. It also made Tang Mingye have too many objections to Kong Ming's approach.

"Forget it, I know what you're here for, you better go back to that meeting, I've been fighting for more than three months, I'm already sleepy, I need to retreat to turn those things into my own. After Kong Ming finished speaking, he didn't look back and left directly.

Watching Kong Ming disappear around the corner, Li Feiyang sighed a little, Kong Ming was one of them, because his experience had not been able to fit into their whole. What a genius!

After Tang Mingye heard Li Feiyang's return, he didn't say much, and their path still needed to rely on themselves, not Kongming. (To be continued......)
