Volume 1: Rise Chapter 10: Thinking Change

The Xingwu era, in the new calendar of the mainland only existed for 54 years, as the shortest era in the continental calendar, but it is also the era that left a strong mark in the history of the mainland, in the last year of the Xingwu era improvised 54 years, a lot of major events happened enough to determine the future of the mainland.

The most sensational event is naturally the first cultivator in the tribulation period on the mainland: Yang Qi, in September of this year, the Senate will usher in the seventeenth elder: Ding Qing, the news that Yang Qi entered the tribulation period is from Ding Qing's mouth, the Senate is not without doubts about this, but after Ding Qing told Yang Qi in detail about the tribulation, all doubts were dispelled, this kind of thing is a thunder tribulation from the sky, which all cultivators may not think of, not to mention that Ding Qing also described in detail the specific form of the nine heavenly thunders: Five Elements Divine Thunder, Yin Yang God Thunder, Demon Slayer God Thunder, and Chaos God Thunder. The reason why this is so is not that they are not talented enough, but because the merger period is already the highest realm in the mainland, if they cultivate to make rapid progress, then they will have to face the problem of opening up a new cultivation realm, thinking of the price paid by their predecessors to open up a new cultivation realm, these elders are deliberately slowing down their cultivation progress, and many years of comfort make them both eager and afraid of the new realm.

The desire is because every time you break through a realm, your life span can be greatly extended, and the foundation building period has a longevity of one hundred and eighty years, three hundred years of Jindan, four hundred and fifty years of Yuan Baby, and six hundred years of incarnation, and you can have a longevity of nearly eight hundred years when you reach the merger period, and you can have a new realm after breaking through the merger, at least you can have a thousand years of life, such a longevity is already comparable to that of the Spirit Race, and how can you not make people yearn for it. The fear is that they don't want to be a stepping stone to others, and after years of being in a high position, they have long lost their dedication to sacrificing themselves for the future of the mainland, and have long forgotten that the mainland can have the current prosperity precisely because of the sacrifices of their predecessors.

It was precisely because of them that Ding Qing had been reluctant to join the Senate, and this time Ding Qing not only agreed to join the Senate, but also brought them a new cultivation enchantment, and the elders, who should have been ecstatic, fell into despair for a while after learning how difficult it was to survive the Nine Thunder Tribulations. Although the era of the continent is Xingwu, but this martial arts is more ornamental martial arts, rather than martial arts with combat significance, look at the martial arts conference on the continent once every ten years, representing the biggest event of the cultivators, you can know what the cultivators are: sword qi three thousand miles, sandstorm technique, nine days waterfall, boundless falling wood, nine thousand miles of swaying, flames in the sky, etc., this kind of ornamental is excellent, the real meaning can not be said at all, but these spells are too consuming the true element to last, and the second range is too large to waste the true element, if not, it will not let Yang Qi, who only cultivated in the late stage of the god thirty years ago, fight all over the world invincible。

At present, the cultivators on the continent, not to mention fighting against the Thunder Tribulation, are very difficult to fight against the demon beasts infected by the demonic qi, and they are not higher than a big realm, and they are only abused in front of the demonic beasts. It's also strange to say, the human cultivators are infected by the demonic qi, and most of the people can still maintain their sanity, but they can no longer absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to practice, but once the demon clan and the spirit clan are infected by the demonic qi, they will lose their minds and become demonic beasts and demonic spirits that can only kill, it can be said that the demonic beasts and demonic spirits are the biggest enemies of all the cultivators on the continent, but the number of enemies is too small to attract attention at all.

Under such circumstances, the reform of the cultivation system proposed by Ding Qing is very attractive to all the elders, and there are as many as twelve members of the Terran patriarchs in the senate in addition to Ding Qing, the oldest of them is less than five hundred years old, and there are more than three hundred years to correct the path of cultivation, until this is Ding Qing who remembered that he had forgotten a very important thing, and did not take Yang Qi's set of "Qimen Escape Method" , which also made Ding Qing's proposal temporarily shelved, until the second day of October, the arrival of Yang Qi and Lu Zhihan, which can be regarded as a concrete and feasible reform plan.

On September 11, Yang Qi took Lu Zhihan and Zhang Qian back to his family in Yongchang City in the Northwest Region, Zhang Qian did not return to his family, and the specific reason Yang Qi and Lu Zhihan did not ask in detail. At this time, the Yang family in Yongchang City did not know that Yang Qi had become the first catastrophe in the mainland, which was enough to change the fate of the family, so although a grand welcome ceremony was also held, but it was limited to the interior of the family, Yang Qi's parents had passed away, and the current head of the family was Yang Qi's cousin of the same generation: Yang Xun also had the cultivation of the combined period, for the cousin who had not been seen on the other side, Yang Xun showed enough enthusiasm, Yang Qi is also a legend of the Yang family, thirty years ago he fought all over the world invincible, and the Yang family at that time was about to take advantage of the situation to rise, who knew that Yang Qi would not be able to hide from the world soon after, which also made the Yang family lose the opportunity to be promoted to a first-class family, and now Yang Qi's return, so that Yang Xun saw the opportunity for the promotion of the Yang family, if the family became a first-class family in his own hands, it would definitely leave a heavy mark in the family tree. When he learned that Yang Qi did not plan to stay too long, but was going to settle in Zhongtian City, Yang Xun tried his best to stay, but after hearing that Yang Qi was going to the Lu family, which ranked second in the Central Plains, to propose marriage, he gave up his plan to keep Yang Qi, although Yang Xun was not optimistic about Yang Qi's marriage to Lu Zhihan, but if he could catch up with the Lu family in the Central Plains, the benefits to the Yang family were undoubted.

September 23, Yang Qi followed Lu Zhihan to the Lu family in Zhongtian City, at this time Yang Qi's identity during the tribulation period has spread all over the mainland, the welcome ceremony held by the Lu family can not only be described as grand, all the first-class families in Zhongtian City have come to the door, and the senators will come to the three elders, if it is not for the need for someone to sit in the senate, I believe that there will be more people, Lu Xing, the head of the Lu family, is Lu Zhihan's father, and his daughter has to get out of the cage, he is naturally very happy, when he learned that the first person in the mainland is going to marry his daughter, he is even more happy, his original intention is to complete the marriage as soon as possible, but Yang Qi and Lu Zhihan both insist on setting the marriage date in one year, he didn't force it. Agreeing on the wedding ceremony, meeting with the visitors of the major families, etc., delayed Yang Qi a lot of time, if it wasn't for Lu Zhihan to finally relieve Yang Qi, even if it was another month, Yang Qi would not want to withdraw.

On the second day of October, Yang Qi and Lu Zhihan entered the Senate and brought "Qimen Escape Method", before Lu Zhihan had already printed 20 sets, and the elders took back a set to study carefully. Three days later, on the fifth day of October, the Senate held the first seminar on the reform of the cultivation system, Yang Qi described in detail the process of the tribulation and the difficulty of the thunder tribulation, and put forward the necessity of the reform of the spiritual system, and gave his own suggestions on the shortcomings of the current mainland spiritual system and the direction of reform, and Ding Qing also added the proposal that the reform of the spiritual system should also change the education system, and put forward a reform plan based on the "Qimen Dun Law". Under the joint efforts and persuasion of Yang Qi, Lu Zhihan, and Ding Qing, the Council of Elders finally passed the reform proposal by 15 to 4, and made resolutions at the meeting: 1. The mainland Terran cultivators are collectively referred to as "cultivators"; 2. It was decided to change the Yuan to "Zhending" in the new year; 3. Vigorously promote the "Qimen Dun Fa"; 4. Deliver the "Qi Men Dun Fa" to the teaching and research group of the Five Elements Academy and then adapt it into teaching materials for implementation; 5. Approve Lu Zhihan's establishment of the 'Yuan Shi Demon Sect' and call on all domains to send the disciples of the disciples who have gone mad into the Demon Sect to practice; 6. Vigorously support the Instrument Maker Sect, the Spirit Rune Sect, and the Danding Sect; 7. Encourage each region to hold its own 'martial arts conference', and encourage the evaluation criterion to be actual combat ability; 8. Start the 'trial' plan to open up testing grounds in various regions of the mainland for the younger generation of the mainland to conduct actual combat trials (this article was proposed by the two elders of the demon clan, and the two elders of the spirit clan reconsidered, and the deep meaning contained in it is naturally to curb the development speed of the human race).

Based on these eight proposals, and by a lot of specific implementation of the rules have been formulated, I have to say, the benefits of the concentration of power in the mainland are reflected, once the senate has a resolution, the formulation of specific rules will soon enter the process, these rules are very cumbersome, and need to report with the elders of the senate at any time, which leads to the improvement of the rules will not be completed soon, in order to speed up this progress, Yang Qi and Ding Qing can be said to be forgetting to sleep and eat (of course, they don't need to sleep), even with the other elders passive diligence, in the hearts of other elders, these rules to be perfected to say that it will take three months, under the unremitting efforts of Yang Qi and Ding QingIt took only two months to complete.

During this period, Lu Zhihan only participated in the preliminary decision, and then she began to prepare for the establishment of the 'Yuan Shi Demon Sect', which was located in the vast mountains five hundred miles outside Zhongtian City, where there was originally a lot of demonic energy, and she originally intended to hire the monks of the Huang family in Zhongtian City to carry out the construction of the sect building, but Huang Quan, the head of the Huang family, did not charge any fees after hearing about this, only said that it was a gift to Yang Qi and Lu Zhihan in advance. Needless to say, the building level of the Huang family is the pillar industry of the Huang family to become the largest family in the Central Plains, Lu Zhihan originally just wanted to simply arrange it, but under the insistence of the Huang family, a group of buildings was erected, with pavilions and pavilions, in addition to the sect hall, there are 18 halls of the elder hall, 6,000 houses where disciples live, and eight treasure buildings for storing items such as magic weapons and ammunition, and even built a trial tower that is not common in the mainland. Another glance of the mountain spring into the main hall, and then flow out from the main hall, around the whole complex. Such a huge project, the Huang family can not be completed in a short period of time, the early projects are mainly the sect master hall and three elder halls, a Zang Bao Building, a hundred disciples' houses, as well as the paving of roads and waterways, of course, the mountain gate and the welcome living room are in the initial project.

Lu Zhihan began to wonder, even if he sent congratulatory gifts to himself and Yang Qi, he shouldn't be so generous, until Huang Quan brought a demon descendant named Huang Quan in the family to her, Lu Zhihan understood the intentions of the Huang family, so Zhang Qian had his first junior brother, and Huang Quan already had the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Period, but because he did not continue to practice after entering the demon, the demon baby had begun to wither, if he did not worship under Lu Zhihan's door, I believe that it would not be long before he would turn into a source of demonic energy in the vast mountains (after the death of the demonic monk, the demonic qi will not die, but will overflow between heaven and earth, which is also one of the reasons why the demonic qi is difficult to remove) 。

After entering Huangquan, Lu Zhihan realized an imminent problem, there is only one magic stone, and now there are only two or three big cats and kittens in the sect, if the number of people in the sect exceeds twelve, the magic stone may not be able to satisfy everyone, and the regression of cultivation is still secondary, and the withering of the demon baby will affect the life expectancy. She began to try various methods to solve the problem of the source of demonic energy, and after trying many methods, she found that by putting the magic stone into the mountain spring, and then guiding the demonic energy in the magic stone into the mountain spring water, after a period of time, the mountain spring water will be assimilated into the magic water that can provide the source of the demonic energy, and each time as long as a small amount of demonic energy is channeled, it can be assimilated into a cubic meter of spring water. With this discovery, Lu Zhihan is a lot easier, but to assimilate a cubic meter of water, it takes about twelve hours, that is, a whole day and a night, fortunately, there are not many people on the mainland who have entered the demons, and one zhang cubic should be enough for the time being, as for the number of people in the sect in the future, when the time comes, she will find a way to do it, she threw this problem to her two disciples, and she began to sort out her own practice experience, so as to compile it into a book for future disciples to use as a guide for demon cultivation.

At the same time, in the Northeast Branch of the Five Elements Academy, Lin Xie came to the dean's office again, but the dean had been replaced by a decent yellow-haired old man Nie Hua, and this time he came to Dean Nie not to complain about anything, but for the cultivation of the five students who had returned from training. When Lin Ruo and the others returned to the academy, they had already broken through the realm and entered the foundation building period, and Lin Xie had slandered Guo Zheng at that time, but after seeing that the foundation building period of several students, especially his niece Lin Ruo, was extremely stable, he didn't say anything more. At that time, Ding Qing returned to the academy, just hurriedly explained a few words, and rushed to the Senate of Zhongtian City with the next sentence "The cultivation realm will usher in unprecedented changes", at that time he was still a little inexplicable, what does 'cultivation realm' mean? What followed was the cultivation problem of the five students, they no longer pursued the rapid improvement of the realm, but focused on polishing their true yuan, although this can make their true yuan condense far beyond ordinary people, but the corresponding realm ascension speed will also be reduced, which has deviated from the mainstream cultivation route of the mainland. He could ignore other students, but his niece Li Ruo was also polishing Zhenyuan, and she was repeatedly persuaded to change, and even the letter from her father Lin Bin, who was the head of the family, could not shake her in the slightest, Lin Xie finally couldn't sit still and came to Dean Nie to discuss countermeasures.

"Since Dean Ding didn't give a special explanation when he left, I believe that if he agrees with these children, let's not worry about it. "Nie Hua looks decent, ordinary, and looks like a good person, but he has great respect for Ding Qing, but he also knows why Ding Qing has refused to join the Council of Elders for so many years, he will not take the initiative to destroy the existing teaching system, but if there are students who do not conform to the existing system, he will never suppress it, if he is not such an easy-going person with an easy-going appearance and a firm heart, how can Ding Qing hand over the position of dean to him. Seeing him like this, Lin Xie knew that it was useless to talk about it, so he no longer entangled with him on this issue, but talked about his niece Lin Ruo: "Dean, Lin Ruo has now entered the foundation building period, but her true yuan is indeed a very rare mutant true yuan on the mainland, I wonder if you should let her go back to her family to practice? After all, our academy does not have relevant books, let alone teachers who are experienced in mutant true yuan." ”

"Our academy doesn't have talents in this area, do you have one in your Lin family? Could it be that your family also hides an old monster with a dual-line fusion mutation true element? Besides, even if there is such an old monster, each mutated true element is almost unique, and different mutated true elements will naturally have different cultivation methods and corresponding spells, how much help can you give her at home?" If someone said something bad about Nie Hua, he might just laugh it off, but he absolutely didn't allow anyone to say that the Northeast Branch was not, even if the other party was behind one of the top families in the mainland, this was Ding Qing's hard work. "You said that the academy doesn't have professionals in this area, so let me ask you, do you know how the mutated true yuan was obtained?" Seeing Lin Xie's stammering appearance, Nie Hua said contemptuously to Lin Xie: "Don't look at your Lin family as one of the best families in the mainland, but for these cold things on the continent, you must also know it but don't know why, I can only tell you that the conditions for the emergence of the mutated true yuan are very harsh, otherwise why are there so many people on the mainland who are dual-line cultivators who build foundations, and they all form dual-line true elements instead of mutant true yuan?" Lin Ruo also took great luck to cultivate the mutated true element, Guo Zheng knows the mutant true element very well, I once overheard him discussing the issue of the mutated true element with Dean Ding, if it wasn't for Guo Zheng to lead the team this time, your Lin family probably wouldn't have another mutated true yuan cultivator. It's not impossible for you to take Lin Ruo back to the family to practice, but after Guo Zheng comes back, I need to listen to his advice. You don't want to go back to the family during this year's annual leave, and Lin Ruo shouldn't go back either, just in case Guo Zheng comes back during this period. ”

Leaving the dean's office inexplicably, Lin Xie then remembered that he hadn't come this time to take Xiao Ruo back to the family? Why did he end up wanting to take Xiao Ruo to wait for Guo Zheng to come back in the academy? Dean Nie looked at a kind person, how could he become so strong? I am afraid that he really underestimated this old man before, and also underestimated the foundation of the academy. Shaking his head, throwing away the distractions in his heart, he was ready to do the ideological work of being a niece again, after all, he was the most optimistic junior of the family, if the cultivation realm lagged behind the other juniors, I am afraid it would be a little unreasonable.

Naturally, this trivial matter of the Northeast Branch would not fall into the eyes of the high-ranking senators, and when the elders were still scratching their ears and cheeks for the reform of the cultivation system, in this academy that they could not see, there were already five young men and women, who had unswervingly stepped into the forefront of the reform.
