Chapter 539: The Conspiracy Theory of the Assemblies of the Dao
The so-called conference is not a group of people sitting together and talking about the Tao, but can actually be regarded as a carnival in the monastic world, or a temple fair on a huge scale. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this discussion conference is an occasion for various sects to communicate, exchange spell and sword skills, exchange alchemy refining tools, exchange talisman formations, and even exchange the development of sects, exchange the cultivation of disciples, and so on.
Of course, this exchange is not about sitting there and communicating with your mouth, but about learning from each other with your real skills.
Competition, competition, competition, although the words are not the same, but the meaning is the same, that is, to "do" with real swords and guns. Moreover, in order to enhance the participants' desire to win, no matter what kind of competition, there will be some lottery as a reward for the winner. Therefore, for many people, this conference is not only a stage for fame, but also a holy place full of opportunities.
In addition, there is another use of this Dao Conference, which is to allow those top-level sects and first-class sects to have a more realistic understanding of the development of those second- and third-rate sects below them. For example, in terms of Dao inheritance, which sect has made new breakthroughs, in terms of alchemy refining tools and talisman formations, which sect has outstanding talents, especially in terms of cultivating disciples, which sect has produced any immortal geniuses.
On the bright side, these top-level sects and first-class sects are for the better development of the righteous path, and they use this Dao conference to urge the sects below to work hard. However, from the perspective of conspiracy theories, this is actually a design that makes it easier to detect threats in advance and nip them in the bud in order to prevent someone from threatening their position.
This Dao Conference is a tradition with a long history, and it is said that it has been a tradition since the formation of the Shenhua Domain. At the beginning, when Yuqing Sect was the leader of the righteous path in the world, he also held many Taoist conferences in this Tongtian Peak. However, at that time, the Dao Conference held by Yuqing Sect did not have a regional prefix, and it could be said to be the World Dao Conference.
And now, in the entire Shenhua Realm, there are no sects that dare to claim to be the leaders of the righteous path, and they are not qualified to hold a conference on the world and the Dao. Therefore, after the decline of the Yuqing Sect, today's Dao conferences are only regional.
Ye Zan got the news from the Internet that this Northwest Daomen Daoist Conference was jointly organized by the Taihao Sect, the Xingchen Sect and the Taiyi Sect, three first-class sects. Although, in terms of the division of sect levels, there are top-level sects above the first-class sects, but in fact, there is no clear relationship between the two. In other words, regardless of whether or not there is a Tongtian Supreme in charge, there is not much difference between a top-level sect and a first-class sect, and it can be regarded as an equal existence.
Therefore, in the northwest region of the domain boundary, these three first-class sects were already considered top-level existences.
Among the three first-class sects of Taihao Sect, Xingchen Sect and Taiyi Sect, Taiyi Sect can be said to be the direct superior of Yuqing Sect to a certain extent.
In other words, the Yuqing Sect, the Yunding Sect, the Vientiane Sect, the Ziyang Sect, the Tianhe Sect, the Xuanfa Sect, and later the Wuzhu Sect were all second-rate sects within the Taiyi Sect's sphere of influence. Although it is said that no matter whether everyone is first-class or second-rate, they are all independent sects, and there is no rule that no one must obey anyone's orders. But in terms of spheres of influence, these second-rate sects all want to survive by relying on the Tai Sect.
This division of levels actually originated from the battle of the righteous demons, and the original intention was to better integrate the power of the righteous path sect. It's like the secular militia system, where the militia captain and the militia below them live their own lives in peacetime, and no one has the right to interfere in other people's affairs. However, in the event of war, those militiamen must obey the leadership of the captain, otherwise they will be scattered on the battlefield.
It's just that people are selfish, and after experiencing the pleasure of carrying out orders and prohibitions, militia captains will inevitably put on the captain's frame in peacetime and dictate the family life of those militiamen. And these sects are the same, originally it was only a wartime system, but in peacetime, there are also people who refuse to let go of power, and even in order to keep their status from being shaken, they do not hesitate to use some unseemly means.
When all the "militia captains" have similar ideas and put them into action, no one can stand up and accuse these "militia captains".
As a result, a system that was originally designed specifically for the battle between good and evil, or some kind of catastrophe, was kept until peacetime. Although those "militia captains" have not really become the masters of all "militias", they can also rely on the authority of the "captains" to influence the daily life of those "militiamen" in all aspects, and continue to enjoy the privileges of "captains".
Some first-class sects or top-level sects, out of self-confidence in their own strength, rarely make small moves towards second- and third-rate sects in their sphere of influence. In their opinion, as long as they enjoy their due privileges anyway, no matter how much those second- and third-rate sects toss, it will not affect their status.
However, if you don't have enough confidence in your own strength, and at the same time you don't know how to strengthen yourself, then you can only focus on suppressing the lower sects. If I am not good, you must be even worse, so that you cannot shake my position, and I can always sit in this position and enjoy the privileges that this position brings.
And the Taiyi Sect is such a sect.
The standard of a first-class sect is whether or not there is a Dharma Daojun in charge, which is a very fundamental and rigid standard. And as a first-class sect, the Taiyi Sect naturally has no doubts on this point. It's just that the Dharma Xiang Dao Monarch of the Taiyi Sect broke into the 100,000 Mountains for some reason thousands of years ago, and returned with an embarrassed injury, and has been in retreat in the sect since then. A seriously injured Faxiang Daojun, although he still has a certain deterrent power, has a great impact on the Taiyi Sect.
In the case that he couldn't recover the Law Xiang Dao Monarch, and at the same time couldn't cultivate a new Law Xiang Dao Monarch, if Taiyi Sect wanted to maintain his status as the "militia captain", he naturally had to find a way from other aspects. The Taiyi Sect would never want to see a Dharma Dao Monarch appear in those sects below him to replace his current position.
It is said that the Yuanshen power of the Qingyue Sword Sect was plotted by the Taiyi Sect by some means because he had the hope of advancing to the realm of the Law Phase. Of course, this is only speculation from the perspective of conspiracy theories, and no one has been able to come up with conclusive evidence. Therefore, what is the truth of the matter, unless the parties stand up and explain, I am afraid it will always be a mystery.
However, there is another thing that is related to Yuqing Sect, that is, what happened to Qi Qianjun back then.
Although, Qi Qianjun never said what happened to him back then and why he became like that. However, if he doesn't talk about it, it doesn't mean that there is really no trace of it, you must know that before he had an accident, he had just attended the last conference on Taoism. Although when he participated in the Dao Conference, he was just a small person in the foundation building realm, but the qualification was not something that cultivation could cover up.
With Qi Qianjun's flawless Dao body qualifications, let alone in this Northwest Dao Gate, even if it is placed in the entire Shenhua Domain Realm, it is definitely a genius among geniuses. With such a qualification as the Flawless Dao Body, if there are no accidents on the way, it is destined to become a generation of heroes who overwhelm his peers.
It can be said that if it weren't for that disaster, which made Qi Qianjun waste so many years of time in vain, I am afraid that when Ye Zan came to Yuqing Sect, Yuqing Sect would already be a second-rate sect. Even in another hundred or ten years, if the Yuqing Sect wants to become a first-class sect, it will be a matter of nine out of ten.
Therefore, from the perspective of who benefits and who is the most suspicious, Taiyi Sect, a first-class sect that has declined, may have more suspicions than that mysterious force.
However, if Qi Qianjun doesn't say it himself, all this is just speculation.
But in any case, as a grand gathering of the monastic world, as a large-scale temple fair and carnival, this conference is still very attractive to Ye Zan, an outsider. He doesn't care what conspiracy or not, no matter what those sects are planning behind his back, anyway, if there is a bustle, he always has to get together, otherwise this cultivation career will be too boring.
For Wu Changsheng and them to hide from themselves, Ye Zan didn't have much temper. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he was also able to understand Wu Changsheng. It's just that understanding is understanding, and understanding doesn't mean that you have to follow their meaning. So, after getting the news of this Taoist conference from the Internet forum, Ye Zan still made it clear to Wu Changsheng what he meant.
"On the Dao Conference, this is a grand event that can only be encountered once in decades, and I naturally don't want to miss it like this. Facing Wu Changsheng's inquiry, Ye Zan replied without hesitation.
When Wu Changsheng heard Ye Zan's affirmative answer, his brows furrowed and his expression was bitter, and he said, "Senior Uncle, this Dao Conference is not as simple as it seems on the surface! You are now the pillar of my Yuqing Sect, and it will inevitably attract some people with a heart to target you." ”
"Hehe, if you target it, you will target it, the soldiers will block, the water will cover it, what is there to worry about. Ye Zan replied without caring at all.
Seeing that Ye Zan had made up his mind, Wu Changsheng could only sigh helplessly and said, "Well, since Uncle Shi wants to participate in this Dao Conference, I can't forcibly stop it." I just hope that in terms of personnel, Uncle Shi can listen to our arrangements. ”
Ye Zan looked at Wu Changsheng and said with a bit of speculation: "You don't plan to ...... Arrange all four demon king seniors by my side, right?"
With the current conditions of the Yuqing Sect, if you want to ensure Ye Zan's safety to the greatest extent, the ones who can handle it are the four Great Demon Kings who are the elders of Keqing. The four Great Demon Kings all have the strength of the Yuan Shen level, and in the case that the Dharma Xiang Dao Monarch of the Taiyi Sect cannot be retreated, it is indeed a force to be reckoned with in this Northwest Dao Gate.
As for the Taihao Sect and the Xingchen Sect, Wu Changsheng was not very worried, after all, the Yuqing Sect and these two sects did not have a direct conflict of interest.
"No need," Ye Zan immediately waved his hand, but seeing that Wu Changsheng's eyes were firm, he had to stretch out two more fingers and said, "At most two, if there are two Demon King seniors, it will be enough to deter Xiaoxiao." Besides, if I really get into big trouble, I can take someone to hide in the fairy palace, and you haven't seen my ability. ”
"Okay, then the two of you, anyway, there is also Uncle Mo. Wu Changsheng nodded and said.
Since this Dao Conference is a grand event of the Northwest Dao Gate, it will naturally not be limited to those foundation-building disciples who will participate in it. In fact, the word "On the Dao" is not called in vain, and it is also a good opportunity for the Yuan Shen Powers to communicate with their peers. Therefore, although the primordial powers of various second-rate sects do not leave the mountain easily, they definitely have to attend the meeting in person at this time.
In the last Dao Conference, the Yuqing Sect was only a third-rate sect, and it was only in the Yuanying realm, so naturally it couldn't participate in such a high-level Dao. But now, Mo Ru is already a powerful primordial god, and in terms of exploring the Great Dao, there is indeed a need for some colleagues to discuss and confirm each other.
Oh, by the way, that's right, that's right, so be it. Ye Zan wanted to understand this, so he didn't continue to dwell on this.
"There is one more thing to worry about Uncle Shi. Seeing that Ye Zan had no objections, Wu Changsheng continued.
"What's the matter?" Ye Zan asked curiously.
"Uncle Shi has been teaching inner disciples for more than a year, and he must have a lot of understanding of those disciples. Therefore, I would like to ask Uncle Shi to make a list and bring a few potential disciples to the Dao Conference to meet the world. "Anyway, the matter of Ye Zan going to the conference has been decided, and Wu Changsheng simply found something for Ye Zan to do. In this way, when Ye Zan went to participate in the Dao Conference, he would also have a sense of responsibility, so that he would not cause any trouble too freely.
Ye Zan stared at Wu Changsheng and looked at it, until he saw that the other party was a little hairy in his heart, and then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll pick a few people to bring over." ”
Regarding Wu Changsheng's plan, Ye Zan naturally saw it. It's just that what he wants now is to go and see the Dao Conference, and he doesn't want to make a big fuss about the Dao Conference, so it's not a big deal to bring a few oil bottles. Therefore, he was not very disgusted by Wu Changsheng's request, but he felt that his character was not trusted, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
After deciding this, Ye Zan didn't say anything more to Wu Changsheng, and left to return to his residence.
Then, the news of the selection of disciples to participate in the conference soon spread to the inner disciples. For those disciples, this participation in the Discussion Conference is definitely a big deal. You must know that this conference is only held once every few decades, and some people may not have the opportunity to participate in it in their lifetime, not to mention that they are only inner disciples. Therefore, everyone looks forward to being chosen, just like a child looks forward to a temple fair.
