Chapter 8 Colleges
"The young master trial is back?"
When the man in black heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited, "I didn't stay to continue studying, so I got the certificate?"
"Not bad. ”
Nodding, Shaolin was a little proud, even as one of the biggest snakes like Tianguan, he was also happy that his children could have such an achievement, "Cang'er is worthy of being my son, living up to our expectations, winning the top spot in the academy and getting the Zhenyuan order!"
"In this case, wouldn't you only need to participate in the final assessment, and all the previous tests will be exempted?"
"It's not bad, that's right! And with Cang'er's ability, the final assessment is also extremely easy!"
replied, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Pingtianmen doesn't look down on nouveau riche like us at all, and only Zhenyuanzong can be regarded as educated and classless, as long as people have qualifications, they will accept it, and there are not so many twists and turns." ”
=============================
Academies, an emerging form of education.
Since the sky fell from the sky and the original heaven and earth were transformed, human beings have become more and more intelligent under pressure, and the number of cultivators has increased, but the method of knowledge inheritance has always been quite primitive, and it is a family model that is passed on from one to one, one to two, and passed on from father to generation.
This is to guarantee the monopoly of power.
In ancient times, the human race in the tribal era needed authority, and needed a strongman leader who said the same, in a world full of crises, there was no leisure time to fight for power and profit, and two cultivators might work together to develop and grow the tribe, but in that ignorant era, two cultivators who had no blood relationship with the same tribe, there was almost no other possibility between them except for fighting for power, and the final outcome was either the death of one party, or the separation of one party with a part of the clansmen to form a new tribe.
Some of the tribes that had separated grew up, but many more slowly died out.
Of course, the most realistic and important reason is that at that time, most tribes raised the strength of the whole clan, and they could support at most one cultivator.
Hunting demon beasts is extremely dangerous, and it often has to pay some casualties, part of which is to be given to the current leader, that is, the cultivator to cultivate and continue his life, and a small part to lay a good foundation for the inheritors of the cultivator, that is, the children of the leader.
Although with the gradual improvement and rationalization of cultivation methods, the tribes have become more and more comfortable in hunting demon beasts, and there are more and more cultivators, and countless human tribes have slowly begun to grow and develop, and even some sages have discovered ways to plant spiritual plants, so that the number of cultivators has further increased, but the general social form has not changed.
Until that moment comes.
In the midst of the prosperity of the human race, the first Jindan stage cultivator appeared.
At that time, the leader of the largest tribe and the strongest cultivator, Ze, killed the black dragon that settled in the blue water with unprecedented strength, slaughtered the mountain barbarian cattle group on the eastern plains, and used the bones of the two as totemic coordinates, moved mountains and rocks, filled the canyon, and established the first city of the human race.
Countless large and small tribes came to take refuge in it, and the rudiments of the state gradually appeared, and the education mechanism of cultivators began to reform on a large scale in Ze's hands.
The method of family inheritance is too backward, and not only is it very easy to pass it on, but many mistakes are also passed on.
The cultivators of that era had many sequelae. The appearance of cultivators who imitate demon beasts will gradually mutate, the sages who teach the world will gradually become desireless and ruthless, and the strong people who study the way of natural beings will naturally take the law of the jungle as an iron rule - all kinds of sequelae are good and bad, but no matter what, they are useless to further unite the power of the human race.
You must know that after the starfall crisis, it is not only the human race that survives and grows.
Demons, djinns, brutes, beasts...... All kinds of alien races are also constantly developing, and although human beings are not weak compared to them, they are still far behind.
Collecting the cultivation methods of all the tribes in his hands, Ze analyzed and categorized them one by one with his own talent, and finally settled on a "Tianyan Righteous Method" as the most basic cultivation method.
This is also the world's first systematic exercise.
Theoretically, as long as the Jindan cultivator Shouyuan does not lose the origin, it is an endless cycle, but the method of achieving Jindan in that era is not perfect, coupled with years of conquest, countless losses and dark injuries, Ze Jiancheng did not even survive for three hundred years.
During these three hundred years, he wantonly collected qualified teenagers and girls, taught them exercises, and cultivated them, so that before he returned to heaven, the human race would have a second Jindan cultivator in charge.
Living up to expectations, there were indeed several Jindan cultivators who appeared, and they all led the people who were willing to follow them to other places to open up the territory of the Terran Race and protect the multiplication of the Terran Race.
The prototype of the sect gradually appeared, although the family also completed the reform, but in any case, the systematic and standardized cultivation method completely replaced the original oral secret inheritance, although the interests of a small number of people were harmed, but the overall strength of the human race became stronger and stronger.
The story of Renhuangze is not much to say for the time being.
The beginning of the sect, compared with the family inheritance, there are only two differences of systematization and large-scale - although this is also the biggest and most basic difference, but in general, it is a little rough, and it is not a model that can be inherited for a long time, with the inheritance of the master as the core, as long as the master dies, most of the disciples will be scattered, and the sect will basically cease to exist, but the family inheritance has absorbed some points of the sect and has begun to gradually rise again.
At a time when the various races were fighting against each other and the development of cultivators was stagnant or even regressing, the demons descended from the sky with heavenly fire and calamities, completely shattering the original pattern.
The invasion of demons from within various countries and large clans has put everyone at risk, and mortals can only ensure their safety by relying on various strong people, and the wave of cultivation is booming, even if it is to reduce the life expectancy, it is better than dying on the spot.
Unity itself is the greatest strength, in this era, the cultivator's sense of identity with the sect is getting stronger and stronger, and countless small sects and small families have risen and destroyed under the tide of this era, a little bit to verify the rationality of its structure and operation mode, gradually, there are more than a dozen sects and sects stand out, their kingdoms and tribes not only eliminated all the demons, but also took advantage of the chaos in this great chaos that has not been seen for thousands of years to eliminate the local barbarian ghosts and giant spirits and many other alien races, the territory continues to expand, although some are gradually dying out, but the remaining sects have finally developed into today's ten major sects, which have been inherited to this day。
Nowadays, the path of cultivation has been developed incomparably perfectly, Jindan real people abound, and there are many strong people far above it, but the inheritance methods of sects and families have gradually fallen into a bottleneck - if you want to develop better, you need more cultivators, if you want more cultivators, you need more resources, if you want more resources, you need more cultivators-if you want more resources, you need more cultivators-if you can't solve this cycle, you can't continue to progress.
After all, not all qualified people will test their qualifications, and they don't even think about cultivating at all, which is equivalent to wasting a large number of geniuses, and they don't know how many cultivator seeds that can achieve Jindan have been lost over the years.
Therefore, the college came into being.
A small number of sects began to build academies in various places, testing the qualifications of the children of the local masses, and if there were, then they could enroll in the school and learn the basic knowledge of cultivation in them, just such a small change, the number of young people with potential increased greatly, anyway, there is no need to reduce the life expectancy, just a long insight, even the most demanding parents will not have other words.
From an early age, they have been exposed to the knowledge of spiritual practice, and when they have chosen this path, they will begin to practice under the guidance of true cultivators, and the best of them will directly get the opportunity to join the sect.
In any case, this method of collecting talents is much faster and more convenient than the passive waiting for the rabbit to seek the Tao, or the high-level cultivators who go down the mountain to find the land that is pleasing to the eye.
