The changes on the Internet have really shocked many people. On the one hand, they have seen the horror of "cyber violence", and on the other hand, they have seen the horror of Yuqingzong's solution to "cyber violence". They are not stupid either. Even if they didn't know the identity of Ye Zan's trumpet at the beginning, they could guess a little bit when the incident developed to this point. However, at this time, even if someone does find some evidence to prove that the ID of the person who uncovered the devil's way is Ye Zan's, it will no longer help the development of the situation.
In fact, although the Taiyi Sect has died down, there are still some unwilling people who are trying to change the direction of the wind according to ideas similar to Qianmu Zhenjun. After all, it is not just the Taiyi Sect that wants to see the Yuqing Sect suffer misfortune. Even if there is no direct conflict of interest, other sects will want the Yuqing Sect to die out of jealousy.
However, these people were surprised to find that as long as they revealed a little bit on the Internet that they wanted to bring things back to the expected track, they would immediately attract attacks from countless people. They will even be labeled as colluding with the devil, and they will be questioned righteously by everyone: "What are your intentions in agreeing with the opinions of those people of the devil!"
What these people don't know is that the current "netizens" on the Internet have gone through a previous reversal and are already a bit wary in their hearts.
No one wants to be called a fool, and Ye Zan's previous discovery of the identities of those demonic people made the "netizens" feel like they were being used by the demons, and they were simply a fool. In this case, they all wished that the previous things had never happened, so how could they be willing to bring them up again? If anyone wants to bring up the past again, it will be like opening up the scars of the "netizens", and it will also make them feel like they are being treated as idiots again.
Seeing such a scene, those who still want to trick Yu Qingzong dare not say another word. Therefore, this counterattack did not even stir up half a wave, and was swept away by the vast sea of the people.
Qianmu Zhenjun, who had been paying attention to the news on the Internet, silently put down the Qianli Chuanshen in his hand, and secretly wiped a cold sweat. He also did not expect that the "netizens" who were led by him like fools would become the biggest protective umbrella of Yuqing Sect this time. He couldn't help but feel lucky in his heart. Fortunately, he listened to his master and didn't send anyone to continue to provoke people online. Otherwise, he might have ended up like the Yuqing Sect before.
Not to mention how fierce and chaotic the debate on the Internet is, the actual Taoism conference will still go on as usual.
After the foundation-building discussion was over, it was natural to discuss the golden elixir discussion, and just like the foundation-building discussion, it was still the same as the discussion in the arena. However, the number of Jindan Grandmasters in each sect is far less than that of Foundation Establishment disciples. Therefore, the participants in this golden elixir discussion are naturally much smaller than those in the foundation-building discussion.
When the teams of various sects and sects came to the square again, the layout of the square also changed significantly after one night. The arenas that were originally used for foundation building and discussion have been merged into groups of nine to form larger arenas. After all, the Golden Pill Grandmaster's actions are far more fierce than those of the Foundation Establishment disciples, even if it is just this kind of "point-to-point" sparring.
Compared with the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Golden Core Realm has converted true energy into mana, making it easier to cast spells, so more spells are used in battles. In addition, people in the Golden Core Realm can be said to be the main users of magic weapons. After all, magic weapons are still relatively rare, so magic weapons that rely on magic power are the most cost-effective for them. Moreover, many golden elixir masters will focus on refining a magic weapon in the hope that one day the magic weapon can be promoted to a magic weapon.
With the ability to use a large number of spells and the ability to control magic weapons freely, the battle between the Golden Core realms will naturally become much more intense. Therefore, the small arena used in the Foundation Establishment Realm cannot let the golden elixir master free his hands and feet at all. A single spell may fill the entire arena, so how can we compete.
Apart from the changes in the arena, there are not many differences in rules and procedures between the Golden Elixir Theory and the Foundation Establishment Theory, except that there is no "audition" stage. Therefore, the first item that comes up is the apparently fair and just drawing of lots, which assigns opponents to each participating Golden elixir master.
In terms of the number of golden elixir masters, compared with other second-rate sects, Yuqing Sect is still in a leading position, but the number is very limited. Although the Yuqing Sect has a talent base like the Immortal Palace Small World, Ye Zan has not introduced a large number of golden elixir masters. The Jindan Grandmasters trained by the Yuqing Sect themselves were all promoted in the past two years. Naturally, they cannot surpass those established second-rate sects by much.
You know, in those old second-rate sects, the oldest Jindan Grandmaster in the sect is seventy or eighty years old. This is because it is inconvenient for older people to come. It is equivalent to saying that the number of golden elixir masters accumulated by the old second-rate masters in decades is compared with the number of golden elixir masters trained by Yuqing Sect in just three to five years. In this situation, it is actually an exaggeration for the Yuqing Sect to be able to catch up with the opponent in terms of the number of Golden Pill Grandmasters.
However, people always only look at what is in front of them, and few people delve into deeper issues. In this way, the Jade Qing Sect seems to be a little more normal in terms of the golden elixir discussion. Unlike the two strata of Establishment and Yuanying, they clearly surpassed other second-rate sects, so that only the first-rate sect, Taiyi Sect, could barely compare with them.
In this case, Taiyizong didn't seem to bother to calculate anything. After all, it would be obvious if he moved his hands and feet a little. Anyway, in the final draw, there was no situation where one of Yu Qingzong's own people was against his own people, but there were different opponents that seemed quite balanced.
After drawing lots, the competition will naturally begin officially.
Among the Jindan masters of the Yuqing Sect, there is no anomaly like Yu Leyang, and all of them, from spells to the use of magic weapons, appear to be very normal. In the eyes of onlookers, this is not surprising. After all, like Yu Leyang, who uses magic weapons to defeat enemies, they can only be used in the foundation-building stage. The golden elixir master is not so easy to fool.
And when it comes to his own strength, the Jindan Grandmaster of the Yuqing Sect really doesn’t have anything that stands out. As mentioned before, these Jindan masters of Yuqing Sect were basically trained in the past three or two years. In other words, these golden elixir masters have only entered the golden elixir realm for a few years, and their highest cultivation level is only in the middle stage of the golden elixir. This is because the Jade Qing Sect has enough resources for them to use. Otherwise, under "normal" circumstances, they might still be in the early stage of the Golden Elixir.
The Golden Elixir Grandmasters of other sects, not to mention those who are in their seventies or eighties, have at least been immersed in the Golden Elixir Realm for more than ten years. Perhaps, due to resource issues, it would only be the middle stage of Golden Elixir even after ten years. But time also represents experience. The experience gap between ten years and three or two years cannot be smoothed out by sufficient resources.
Abundant resources can save people years of hard work, and can allow people to enter the realm of golden elixir in just a few years, but this arena is not just a competition of cultivation. The experience of fighting against others, the experience of using the power of the Golden Core Realm, and the experience gap in many aspects will have a big impact on the final result. What's more, even if it's just a comparison of cultivation level, other sects also have many masters at the peak of the golden elixir, and Yuqing Sect can't take advantage either.
There has always been a point of view in the righteous path that the faster the better, the better. If the foundation is ignored in order to improve the cultivation, it will make the road ahead more difficult. So sometimes, some people have to suppress their cultivation just to lay a solid foundation even though they can break through.
This view can be said to have been verified and summarized by countless predecessors over thousands of years through bloody lessons. It is naturally not unreasonable.
It cannot be said that these Jindan masters of Yuqing Sect have unstable foundations, but because they have only entered the Jindan realm for a short time, it is not yet time to solidify their foundations. However, when it comes to the arena, whether you have just entered the Golden Core Realm or your foundation is really unstable, your performance is actually the same. That is, you are not as skilled as those "old seniors" in mastering the power of the Golden Core Realm. .
Although, on the Jade Qing Sect side, there is a special environment provided by the Virtual God Realm, which allows people to quickly increase their experience in all aspects. It can be said that, to a certain extent, these people of the Yuqing Sect, whether they are in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Golden Core Realm or even the Nascent Soul Realm, can get a lot of experience. But this is just to narrow the gap, and it will not allow these golden elixir masters to sweep the whole field in the golden elixir discussion, not to mention that there are many masters at the peak of the golden elixir realm in other sects.
In particular, this golden elixir realm is also called the seed of the Tao. It can be said to be the beginning of a Taoist's true understanding of the Tao. Therefore, a large part of the strength of the Golden Core Realm depends on the understanding of the Great Dao, which is something that even the Virtual God Realm cannot help with. After all, the Virtual God Realm is, to put it bluntly, a virtual game. It is essentially composed entirely of a large amount of data. There is no real path to the "heaven and earth" at all.
As for the Enlightenment Monuments in the Virtual God Realm, they are actually Ye Zan’s own feelings of enlightenment. After being converted into data, they can achieve the effect of guiding everyone to enlightenment. It is precisely because of this that the Enlightenment Monument in the Virtual God Realm is always incomparable to the genuine version in terms of effect. However, since not everyone is qualified to comprehend the genuine Enlightenment Monument, no one cares about the effectiveness of this copycat version.
However, Ye Zan could not do it no matter what, to the point where he could digitize all the avenues between heaven and earth and integrate them into the Virtual God Realm. Not to mention his current little Yuan Ying Ancestor, even if he were replaced by an Earth Immortal like Xuan Yuan Lao Dao, or even the Great Luo Jin Immortal of the Ancient Immortal Court, it would be impossible for him to do this. Therefore, in terms of comprehending the Great Dao, the Virtual God Realm does not play a role. People still have to comprehend their own Great Dao in this real world as they have always done.
And since they are all in reality, unless it is an epiphany, no matter who they are, they have to use terrazzo skills to learn the Tao and polish the golden elixir bit by bit. If you spend one day's work, you will get one day's gain; if you spend three or two years' work, you will naturally only get three or two years' gain. After all, since everyone has entered the Golden Core Realm, except for a few genius monsters, most people will not have too obvious gaps in their qualifications and understanding.
Under such circumstances, purely in terms of understanding of the Great Dao, there is naturally a huge gap between people like Yuqingzong who have only been promoted to Jindan for three or two years compared to those who have carefully polished Jindan for more than ten or twenty years. .
Therefore, the Golden elixir discussion lasted for two days, and the best result of the Yuqing Sect was that two Golden elixir masters broke into the top eight. As a result, perhaps seeing that Yuqing Sect was finally normal again, people from Taiyi Sect and several other sects secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This result is not unacceptable to the Yuqing Sect. Anyway, it is not enough for the Taiyi Sect's plan to succeed. Who said that the leader of a second-rate sect must be ranked first to be worthy of his name? If that's the case, where should Taiyi Sect, a first-class sect, be placed? Moreover, on the Yuqing Sect side, the two Golden Pill Grandmasters made it to the top eight. Even if they were eliminated in the end, they were at least no worse than several other second-rate sects.
Of course, when it comes to individuals, the several Jindan masters from Yuqing Sect who participated in discussions on Taoism would naturally not be satisfied with such an achievement.
Especially the two Jindan masters who were eliminated in the quarterfinals, one was Ye Feng, a disciple of the head master Wu Changsheng, and the other was Hua Xin, a disciple of Jin Dasheng.
Although these two are not so evil geniuses in terms of qualifications and talents, they can still be called little geniuses. Although they all have personal disciples, they are not very old after all. Therefore, when they came to participate in the Golden elixir discussion, both of them were very ambitious and wanted to get good results. Firstly, they would bring glory to the sect and master, and secondly, of course, they also hoped that they could make a name for themselves through this.
Fame and fortune are not something that everyone can bear. The Yuqing Sect does not have ideological education classes, so it is impossible to educate everyone to be pure and acquiesce.
In fact, good fame and fortune cannot be said to be a bad thing at all. The key is still a question of "degree". Mastering "degree" well is the driving force for progress, and failing to master it will harm others and yourself. As for Ye Feng and others, wanting to make a name for themselves at the Dao Discussion Conference can be said to be an idea that most people have, but some people can put it into action, while others can only think about it quietly.
However, there is a famous saying, "The higher you stand, the more painful it is when you fall." When applied to Ye Feng and Hua Xin, it should be more suitable for their situations. The two of them have not been promoted to the Golden Core Realm for a long time, and they have been staying in the sect for a short period of time. It can be said that they have not had much communication with the outside world. Under such circumstances, the two of them would inevitably develop a bit of arrogance in their hearts, thinking that they were just as awesome outside.
Therefore, the result of stopping in the top eight was naturally a big blow to Ye Feng and Hua Xin, who had the idea of becoming famous, and they couldn't help but feel very depressed.
As Hua Xin's master, Jin Dasheng was also entrusted by Wu Changsheng to take care of Ye Feng. At this time, he naturally acted as their life mentor. Seeing the two people coming down from the ring with no fighting spirit, he waved his folding fan in front of the two people and said with a bit of ridicule: "Why, I can't bear this little blow!"
