Among the nine large cultivator forces in the central part of the continent, the Imperial Spirit Sect was the largest, especially compared to the Eastern Xuanzong adjacent to it, the number of disciples in its sect was nearly doubled.

Moreover, since the sphere of influence of the Imperial Spirit Sect is almost along the north and south of the Hengduan Mountain Range, there are often too many uncertainties in the territory under its jurisdiction.

Some are monster troubles, while others are ill-intentioned monks.

In a reckless place, conflicts between monks are always easier to provoke than elsewhere.

Therefore, the large number of disciples in a sect is not necessarily a reflection of its true strength, sometimes it is just a last resort.

Although the number of disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect is nearly twice as large as that of the Eastern Xuanzong, the cohesion of the sect members and the degree of belief in the sect are far from being comparable to the latter.

This difference is obvious when the two sects recruit disciples, the Eastern Xuanzong recruits disciples strictly, and they need to go through layers of screening, if there is a little place that does not meet the requirements of their sect, then they will definitely not be allowed to enter the mountain gate.

The Imperial Spirit Sect is different, in terms of recruiting disciples, they are much more relaxed, as long as they are sure that they have no dissenting intentions when entering the mountain, their cultivation talent meets the requirements of the sect, and they are monks with relatively innocent origins, they will be accepted into the door.

For the children of the monk family, the practices of the two sects are also completely different.

In order to maintain the purity of the sect, the Eastern Xuanzong will not recruit the children of the family, but a considerable number of the disciples in the Imperial Spirit Sect are members of the major monk families within its territory.

Even for those more powerful monk families, the Imperial Spirit Sect will take the initiative to give the quota of disciples who enter the mountain.

The sources of disciples are too mixed, and it is difficult to guarantee the loyalty of the disciples of the monk family.

Of course, the Imperial Spirit Sect also knew this, and they were just forced to do so.

The Imperial Spirit Sect's survival in the cultivation realm in the middle of the continent is the Imperial Beasts, and in order to cultivate this path, their sect must be established in the region with the most abundant demon beast resources.

The most suitable area can only be the Hengduan Mountains.

The way of heaven is fair, the cycle of all things, and the principle of surplus and scarcity, all of which are contained in the truth of heaven and earth.

Therefore, while enjoying the benefits brought by the Hengduan Mountain Range, the Imperial Spirit Sect must also bear its bad side.

The threat of demon beasts, the chaos of the region, and the relative tension between various monk forces due to the external environment, are prone to large-scale conflicts.

These are all problems that the Imperial Spirit Sect has had to face for more than 100,000 years, and as long as their sect is still in the Hengduan Mountain Range for a day, these problems will not be solved most fundamentally.

Those senior monks of the Imperial Spirit Sect had discovered this problem a long time ago, so they thought that since they couldn't start from the root, they could only alleviate this situation through some external means, so that the sect would tend to develop peacefully and steadily.

Among these many external means, there is no kind of teaching, and recruiting disciples is one of them.

Recruiting disciples from the family's cultivation forces is also one of them.

The former ensured that when the sect faced the huge number of demon beasts in the Hengduan Mountain Range, a sufficient number of sect disciples could be used for direct dispatch.

The latter is to ensure the unity of the family forces in the entire radiation area of the sect when encountering external contradictions.

There are a large number of family disciples in the sect, so although it is impossible to ensure the cohesion of the entire sect, it is fortunate that the vast majority of the family cultivator forces in the area radiated by the sect's influence can be included in the same cause and effect.

In this way, maybe the struggle between those monk forces still exists, but if they encounter external objects that can threaten the Imperial Spirit Sect, with the cause and effect brought by those millions of years and countless disciples, they can still make those family monk forces temporarily entangled.

After all, every family has clansmen who practice in the Imperial Spirit Sect, and maybe the clansmen in power in the current generation have also been disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect before.

The Imperial Spirit Sect used this method, relying on a long period of time and an incomparably intricate causal relationship, to tie those family forces and their own sect to a certain extent on the same rope.

One glory is glory, one loss is loss.

As for the various drawbacks brought about by these two practices, the Imperial Spirit Sect will seek solutions from the level of sect management.

For example, the establishment of an internal and external door system within the sect, and the establishment of a review system for core disciples.

Of course, although the existence of these two systems can solve many problems, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes over time, so when those expected problems really arise, such as the dissent of disciples and the rebellion of the monks under their command.

At this time, the Imperial Spirit Sect will take the most severe measures and directly use force to solve the problem.

In the long inheritance of the Imperial Spirit Sect, almost every generation of rulers will have such a mentality.

"No matter what, even if you don't recruit disciples and recruit family children, these small problems will always exist, compared to the rest of the sects, such as the Eastern Xuanzong, your own sect will only encounter more times. ”

"Since there are too many, let's solve them in the easiest way. ”

A medium-sized monk force, or a monk force with insufficient background, may be affected by the chaos of a few dissenting disciples in the sect, causing themselves to suffer a major blow, and the most serious may even be the disaster of annihilation.

But the Imperial Spirit Sect will not, it has enough confidence and strength to solve these problems.

They believed that the Imperial Spirit Sect would always be more powerful than the family forces under its command and those disciples with different intentions, and that the latter could not shake the existence.

This is a strong self-confidence of a sect that has lasted for more than 100,000 years.

Moreover, it has been proved for a long time that the Imperial Spirit Sect has indeed perfectly handled the contradiction between the existence of religion and the cohesion of the sect, and today's Imperial Spirit Sect is even stronger than most of the past.

......

......

The causal entanglement of the Imperial Spirit Sect's recruitment of disciples was not limited to the scope of the sect's influence, and it also tentatively extended its hand farther away.

For example, every twenty years, the Imperial Spirit Sect will give out a different number of special tokens, no matter who or by what means they obtained this token.

As long as a monk brings him to the mountain gate of the Imperial Spirit Sect and passes the latter's preliminary test, he can become an outer disciple of the sect and enjoy the basic treatment of the Royal Spirit Sect.

The Imperial Spirit Sect is a towering tree for all the monks in the Chaoyang Continent, so this token is equivalent to a cultivation opportunity for many people.

If you can enter the Imperial Spirit Sect, although it is the outermost existence, the resources that you may get in the future and the cultivation opportunities you encounter will be very different from before.

This is an excellent opportunity for those monks who are casual cultivators, small cultivation forces, and monks who lack cultivation talent and cannot pass the Imperial Spirit Sect's disciple recruitment test normally.

The token that Li Changqing had prepared for Li Yuheng was one of the tokens that the Imperial Spirit Sect had scattered in the last twenty years.

Li Xuangang said at that time that he could enter it with Li Yuheng's qualifications, not that he could enter the mountain gate of the Imperial Spirit Sect, but that the latter could quickly enter the field of vision of the Imperial Spirit Sect.

After all, in the huge sect system of the Imperial Spirit Sect, the outer disciples will also be divided into different levels, and the disciples of different levels will naturally have different cultivation resources and sect affairs that they can come into contact with.

If Li Yuheng's status can be improved quickly, then the purpose of the fifth uncle Li Changqing to send the two of them here this time can undoubtedly be better implemented.

......

......

All the affairs in the Boundary Source Space have not changed much from the last time Li Xuangang left, but the growth of the Golden Source Fruit in the Spirit Field is a little more gratifying.

This shows that Zhuangda is becoming more and more handy in taking care of spiritual plants.

Outside the cave under the rock wall, under the spirit peach tree, Li Xuangang sat quietly, and stood on his side.

The head was slightly raised, and the spirit peach tree in his eyes was in the flowering period, and clusters of pink were dotted among the branches, and there were more than ten jade bees lingering among them.

The transparent wings flapped whirring, bringing some sound to Li Xuangang's ears.

These sounds are not annoying.

After looking at it for a moment, he leveled his gaze and looked at the large flat ground in front of him.

The golden source fruit grew regularly in the spiritual field, reflecting a faint golden light.

Not far from Lingtian, there are three turquoise Juyuan bamboos.

As he breathed in, he seemed to be able to see that around the three Juyuan bamboos, there were also layers of spiritual energy ripples that were swinging outward.

The concentration of aura in the space has not changed for a long time, Li Xuangang stretched out his right hand, and then spread it out, using the tip of his finger to feel everything in the space.

So in the next moment, the freshness of the aura entered his body along the tip of his fingers.

Along with it, there is also a unique aura emanating from the various spirit plants in the space, which is a kind of vitality that belongs to the spirit plants.

"Has there been any abnormalities in Zombie Er lately?"

Li Xuangang suddenly asked, so he subconsciously glanced at the cave behind him, and then replied:

"On the honor, there is no other abnormality recently, but the aura has fluctuated a little more violently, and I was worried that his aura would affect the group of Jade Luo Peaks, so I transferred him to the cave mansion. ”

Li Xuangang nodded and did not ask any further questions.

It should be a while before Zhuangji wakes up, but I don't know if his advancement this time will be smooth enough.

Now just wait for it to wake up.

......

......

The sky was overcast, and a light rain had just fallen, and a faint layer of mist rose from the mountains, and then draped over the entire Shuangjiao City.

When Li Xuangang and Zhuangda reappeared, the two of them were already not far from the outside of Shuangjiao City.

Stiff and dressed as an ordinary monk, wearing a black robe, followed Li Xuangang's side unhurriedly.

"This time, the fifth uncle asked Yu Heng to go to the Imperial Spirit Sect for two purposes. ”

"One of them is related to the two fifth-order dragons, but the sources of this purpose are somewhat uncertain, so it is very likely that it will not be completed. ”

"The second is related to Yu Heng himself, Yu Heng has a strong cultivation talent, which all clansmen know, but there is one thing that most clansmen don't know, that is, Li Yuheng's talent in the beast is even more amazing. ”

Li Xuangang walked slowly, shuttling through the crowd, while constantly thinking about these things in his mind.

"I knew that the fifth uncle had some worries, and this move was not only to pave the way for Yuheng, but also to test him. ”

"I didn't say it, but yesterday Yuheng was thorough, and he saw it more profoundly than me......"

Unconsciously, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Li Xuangang's mouth.

He suddenly came back to his senses, and a word that was repeatedly mentioned by Li Yuheng yesterday lingered in his mind.

"The ...... of the Family's Faith"

But before he could recall, his thoughts were interrupted by a commotion ahead, and he looked ahead.

A huge city gate stands in front of him, and the three characters of "Shuangjiao City" are towering and majestic.

Li Xuangang and Zhuangda stopped, and the riot at the city gate had nothing to do with them.

They all looked up slightly at the giant thing in front of them, and the figures of the two of them seemed a little small at this time.

"Let's go. ”

Li Xuangang was the first to speak, and walked towards the gate of Shuangjiao City with his feet raised, stiffening behind him.
