Section 201 Fishing in troubled waters
If you look at the comprehensive strength of a single ordinary force, even the Falling Star Sect, which is currently the most powerful in terms of strength, only has three astral magicians in the subtle realm.
In other words, in the ranks of high-level star magicians, even in terms of quantity, the Falling Star Sect is much inferior to the Spirit Star Sect...... If you count Zuo Tianya, the most powerful Heaven Splitting Ancestor on the Ming side of the Spirit Star Sect, there is no comparison between the Falling Star Sect and the Spirit Star Sect at all, at least in terms of high-level combat power, there is no comparison at all.
Although the combat power of an astral sorcerer may not necessarily be judged by the realm or star rating, the two masters and apprentices like Chen Moru and Xin Yu have broken the fixed understanding formed in the past in the astral realm, and they can challenge beyond the level with their low-level realms, and they can also win in battle.
However, two people like Xin Yu and Chen Moru are basically special cases in the astral world, and they do not have the value of universal reference, and it is not a country to say that they are small probability events. Under normal circumstances, high-level astromagicians have an overwhelming advantage over low-level sorcerers in terms of combat power.
And the three masters of the Falling Star Sect in the subtle realm are also in line with such a universal law. If you insist on using a data standard to describe and judge the comparison of the combat power of astral magicians in different realms, there are probably no three star stars, which is equivalent to doubling the combat power, and without a big realm, it is equivalent to an increase of about ten times.
If it is expressed in data, the Falling Star Sect is only against the Zuo Tianya of the Spirit Star Sect in terms of high-level combat power, and it can only reach 30% of the opponent's level. Speaking of this data, this data is very miserable, but what is even more tragic is that the Spirit Star Sect does not have only one Zuo Tianya, not to mention that its current sect master Yang Xiance himself also has the strength of the high level of the Micro Realm, and may be able to enter the Heaven Splitting Realm in the near future, that is, the leaders of other factions, before the large-scale use of the Condensing God Pill, almost all of them also have the powerhouses of the Micro Realm, although these powerhouses add up to the number of uncountable, but at least there are not only three of the Falling Star Sect chatting about, but at least seven or eight.
In other words, the Falling Star Sect did not have any advantages even compared to the Spirit Star Sect, which had not made any progress before...... Speaking of which, some people may think that the head of the Falling Star Sect is not having a cramp in his head, with a little progress, it is like challenging the old powerhouse, is this simply an act of looking for death.
But Xin Yu didn't see it that way, at least he didn't think that the sect master of the Falling Star Sect was really stupid. Just like Xin Yu had guessed before, the Falling Star Sect would definitely not challenge the Spirit Star Sect with its own strength. Because no matter from which point of view, the Falling Star Sect would not have any chance of winning against the Upper Spirit Star Sect.
Even if the strength of the Spirit Star Sect on the bright side is not something that the Falling Star Sect can challenge, let alone such an old sect, will it really put all its strength on the bright side? It is obviously impossible. For the intelligence collection work of the Spirit Star Sect, Xin Yu has not carried out enough, and he has no way to know the exact strength data. But through Lan Ke'er, he still has some concept of the "city government" of the Tianshan Lang evil family.
It's a little funny to say, top forces like the Tianshan Lang Evil Family and the Xue Mo Cui Family already have an overwhelming advantage over other forces. From this point of view, there is no need for them to do any "secret" work and hide part of their strength. However, because there are naturally some contradictions that are not so easy to reconcile between the two types of organizational forms of family forces and sect forces, even between the top forces, it is full of open and secret battles.
In this way, it seems that a part of the hidden background is still a relatively correct "strategy", which can make potential adversaries misjudge their strength to a certain extent...... After all, Ming's strength, even if it is terrifying, is not impossible to chase, if it is looming, it will make people feel uncertain. In other words, such a "hidden" act itself has the purpose of "strategic deterrence."
Such concealment is very difficult in itself. After all, the total number of people in the entire astral world before was only twenty or thirty thousand. Perhaps the activities of some low-level astromagicians will not attract the attention of the astrological world, but high-level astromagicians are different. The circle of the astral world itself is small, and a new face who shows strong strength, as long as he makes a single shot, he can be impressive, and there is no possibility of being low-key at all. Therefore, the "last power" that is generally hidden is cultivated from a young age, at most in order to improve their combat experience, and travel in the astral realm for a period of time before breaking through the void realm. When you reach the realm of breaking the sky, if you perform too well or have too much influence in the astral world, and you know too many people, then you will lose the meaning of "hiding in the snow".
Only those "players" who have mediocre performance, but still have development potential, will be cultivated as a reserve force.
There may not be many such forces, but they are definitely high-level astromagicians, so they can form an invisible "deterrent", so that when other forces clash, they will not have an endless full-scale conflict.
This is because astrologers need to go into retreat on a regular basis in the process of their practice, and they are interested in downplaying their presence. Therefore, for such a hidden force, the intelligence personnel cultivated by Xin Yu could not detect their existence at all.
In fact, before the establishment of the Astrology Alliance, high-level astrologists rarely appeared in public, after all, their scope of activities was ...... Especially the astral magicians in the Sky Splitting Realm, the scope of their activities has gone beyond the star system, and this world is too "small" for them. Therefore, at that time, most of the high-level astronomers were either in retreat and penance, or they flew out of outer space, or collected nearby star stones, or exercised their star magic, in short, they rarely appeared in the astral world, and it was not wrong to say that they were hidden characters.
That is, when the Astral Alliance was established, in order to compete for the seat of the alliance leader, many high-level astrologists who had been hiding behind the scenes of various forces appeared on a large scale for the first time. However, including those high-level astromagicians who attended the Astrology Alliance and became representatives of various forces, in general, they were all those powerhouses who were well known in the astral world, but in fact, most of the high-level astrosortics were still hidden.
That is to say, his wife Lan Ke'er has a special position in the Tianshan Lang Evil Family, and she has a lot of opportunities to get the guidance of the ancestors, so she can truly understand how terrifying the hidden power in the Lang Evil Family is.
And more than a year ago, because the Lang Evil Family hired the Tianfu Organization to "infiltrate" the Ocean Country, but because Cui Tianya's "brainless" actions were exposed, the relationship between Xin Yu and the Lang Evil Family became very delicate for a while.
Although Xin Yu didn't react too much to this matter, he just asked the Lang Evil Family to hand over the manpower of the Tianfu Organization to him, in addition to some financial compensation. It seems that the relationship between the two families has not been severed, at least not becoming much hostile.
It's just that Xin Yu's status as a permanent director of the Astral Alliance, that is, the so-called qualification to attend as an agent, was "taken" back from Lang Xiche after that incident.
On the one hand, it is because after Xin Yu tested a nuclear energy weapon in the Ocean Country, he needed to make some deployments and arrangements through the Astral Alliance, and these works were not very convenient for the Lang Evil family to participate. Even if it was his father-in-law who attended the Astrology Alliance on his behalf, that is, his wife Lan Keer's father, Lang Evil Che, but in the final analysis, Lang Evil Che is still a member of the Lang Evil Family, and what he represents is always the interests of the Lang Evil Family, so as a last resort, Xin Yu had to take this opportunity to deprive Lang Evil Che of his right to be the sole agent.
On the other hand, it is also because the Lang Evil Family has not become closer to the existence of the Ocean Country because of his combination with Lan Ke'er after all, and in the previous regular meetings and special meetings of the Astral Alliance, the votes made by the Lang Evil Car are generally the same as the opinions of the Lang Evil Family. This also made Xin Yu feel less comfortable...... It's not that he doesn't mind keeping the Lang Evil Che and the Lang Evil Family in general affairs, but on some more important issues, the Lang Evil Che didn't even discuss with Xin Yu, so he made such a vote, "ignoring" Xin Yu's authority and falling second, after all, Xin Yu has made him a plenipotentiary, so naturally he can't feel unhappy because he doesn't "ask" for instructions. It's just that in some things, especially those involving the interests of Xin Yu and the Ocean Country, the Lang Evil Car is still guided by the interests of the Lang Evil Family, which makes Xin Yu feel that it is too much.
Therefore, after that "misunderstanding", it is normal for Xin Yu to take back his rights...... Although Xin Yu's representative stationed in the Astrology Alliance is only one of the subordinates of the Void Breaking Realm, in the entire Astrology Alliance Conference, the "aura" is not worthy of such an important seat as a permanent director, but it is a last resort to win that the representative is completely obedient to the command.
It was also Xin Yu's approach that made Lan Keer misunderstand, thinking that she was "guarded" against her mother's family, and in the midst of all the contradictions, she revealed to Xin Yu some of the strength of the Tianshan Lang Evil Family. Xin Yu also got it because of this, how powerful the power of these top forces is.
Although the Spirit Star Sect may not be as convenient as the family power because of the "external recruitment", it is not impossible for the snow to hide two or three star magicians in the Heaven Splitting Realm. Last time, Xin Yu and the Spirit Star Sect had a conflict, but because it didn't develop to the point where the fish died and the net was broken, those old monsters were not brought out.
However, if you want to step on the "corpse" of the Spirit Star Sect like the Falling Star Sect and win the position, it will definitely make those old guys unable to sit still.
In this way, looking at the comparison of the strength of the Falling Star Sect and the Spirit Star Sect, Xin Yu was extremely unoptimistic about the rash challenge of the ordinary forces. However, having said that, although he was not optimistic about them, Xin Yu did not think that ordinary forces would definitely lose.
On the one hand, the top forces may hide some of their combat power, and the small and medium-sized forces may not be one-way transparent...... Although the Falling Star Sect, which is closest to the top force on the surface, itself rose from the class of small forces, it is impossible to say that people also have hidden strength. Otherwise, based on the gap on the surface alone, I believe that it is impossible for Bai Shiqiao, the sect leader of the Falling Star Sect, to decide to challenge the top forces as soon as his head is hot. Maybe the hidden strength of the people is not small, but Xin Yu has not been able to collect information in this area at present, so this is also an unspeakable thing.
On the other hand, it was the Spirit Star Sect that challenged the Spirit Star Sect this time, but it was not only the Falling Star Sect family. Although judging from the current intelligence, these more than 20 small and medium-sized forces that think they have developed their strength have not yet united, but whether they have secretly formed an alliance, Xin Yu does not know.
Come to think of it, in order to be able to ensure that the first time you succeed in ascending to the throne...... Well, in fact, there is only one chance, and the result of failure in the challenge must be miserable, and there is no possibility of a comeback. Just like the Tianfu Organization, although it was strong for a while, after being suppressed by the entire astral world, it had been sinking in a slump for hundreds of years, and there was not even a chance to show up.
Therefore, the matter of challenging the top forces can only succeed and cannot fail at all, and if it is solid, it will be happy, and if it fails, it will die, which belongs to the kind of "can go up but not down". Then ordinary forces like the Falling Star Sect will naturally not be naïve enough to think that they can compete with the old top forces with their own strength, and there will definitely be things that are vertical and horizontal, and this possibility is still very high.
Xin Yu was actually happy to see the rigid order of the astral world change...... Although the "transformation" of the old order in such a drastic way as war would make the whole century turbulent and even cause the whole world to bleed, there is no way to do it.
On the one hand, because of the catastrophe, Xin Yu or the Ocean Country wanted to march towards the Astrology Realm, that is to say, so that every ordinary citizen could reach the point of being on an equal footing with the Astral Magician, which was originally very difficult, but after the Great Tribulation dealt a huge blow to the Ocean Country, this process was interrupted...... Although Xin Yu is confident that the Ocean Country will be able to develop to the previous level in five years, the five years that have disappeared are too important for the Ocean Country.
On the other hand, Xin Yu doesn't have the ability to stop the idea of more than 20 forces, right? Since he can't stop it, it's better to take advantage of the time when they fight, whether it's sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, or fishing in troubled waters, in short, if he can win the benefits for himself, then he doesn't have to be soft, and it won't arouse the hostility of others, what a cool thing it is...... Just like now, because those more than 20 forces want to prepare "war preparation materials" and buy a huge amount of Qi Nourishing Pills, isn't this also a kind of "war wealth"?
