The world is dangerous, even in so-called peaceful times.
Especially for spiritual practitioners.
After all, in this world, only the secular world has laws, and such laws cannot restrain the ascetics.
In the world of monks, although each sect has its own rules and regulations, there is no unified supreme law that can be recognized by everyone. Any law, no matter how stringent it is, requires a strong enforcement agency to make the law truly binding.
Of course, the world of monks is not completely chaotic. What restrains them is actually the so-called "reason", or "righteousness". However, things like "great righteousness" are all spoken by people. Doing dirty things in the name of great righteousness is quite common throughout the history of the monastic world.
In fact, even in ancient times, when the immortals of the human race established the Immortal Court and used the power of the Immortal Court to command the world, there was no law to restrain the cultivators. In other words, the laws of the ancient fairy court were based on the laws of heaven. As long as they did not violate the laws of heaven, they would not bother to take care of some trivial matters.
The ultimate goal of ascetics seeking immortality is to achieve transcendence, to escape beyond the three realms and not be in the five elements, to get rid of all constraints and achieve great freedom in body and mind. It is already very difficult to transcend all this. Who would be willing to have another powerful organization above their heads to restrain themselves by law
Without the suppression of powerful institutions, the monks did feel at ease to a certain extent. But the price of this freedom cannot be explained in a few words.
In actual reality, any ascetic will actually have serious insecurities in his heart. As far as building foundations and refining qi, as far as Dharma reaching the sky, don't think that the Supreme One is truly invincible. If you are so big-hearted that you don't care about anything, you will still be in danger of falling.
From individuals to sects, everyone lives with trepidation, and every step they take is like walking on thin ice.
Anyone who underestimates the dangers of this world, and even the sect, will inevitably pay a heavy price. Those geniuses who think they control the world and that the whole world revolves around them have fallen countless times throughout the history of the monastic world. Qi Qianjun is actually a clear example.
Just to attend a Dao discussion conference, Ye Zan asked these inner disciples to make very thorough preparations to deal with any unexpected events. This request seems a bit excessive, almost like a patient with persecutory paranoia. However, a person's life is only once, and an accident can end everything. Faced with such a price, I'm afraid no amount of preparation is too much.
Of course, sometimes accidents will not be completely avoided just because you are prepared. After all, manpower has its limits. But is it because of this that there is no need to make any preparations? At least we must avoid things that cost our lives due to accidents within our capabilities!
Therefore, living in this world, especially as a monk, I am afraid that patients with persecutory paranoia will be more comfortable.
Fortunately, the preparations made by these disciples were quite good in Ye Zan's opinion. After all, they were only Foundation Establishment Realm disciples. At the level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the preparations made by these disciples have been considered quite thorough.
"Well," Ye Zan looked around and finally nodded under everyone's nervous gaze and said, "It's not bad. It seems that your understanding of reality has moved away from the naive stage. I understand. The dangers of this world.”
After hearing Ye Zan's words, the disciples all let out a sigh of relief, and their expressions finally became a little more relaxed and joyful. Passing Ye Zan's test means that they can attend the Dao Discussion Conference. And such an opportunity is not available to everyone, even those who are direct disciples.
The ten selected disciples all passed Ye Zan's test. In addition to the fact that they were fully prepared, there was actually a little bit of Ye Zan's selfishness in them.
Originally, Ye Zan's plan was to eliminate at least five more people even if he was nitpicking. But now, he has promised to take his daughter to the Taoism Conference, so he doesn't mind bringing a few more people to help him comfort the child.
"Okay, let's all go back. The departure date has not been set yet. We will notify you when it is set." After Ye Zan said this, he turned and left the lecture hall.
You must know that participating in the Dao Discussion Conference is not Ye Zan’s business alone. Mo Ru will go, Jin Dasheng, Qi Qianjun, Luo Jinniang, as well as Cheng Liangqi, Yang Bufan and others who have come back for a break will also go with their valued direct disciples. It is precisely because of this that Ye Zan has to prepare a small passenger spaceship to take these hundreds of people there.
However, after the Tao Discussion Conference, except for some large-scale exchange activities between sects, everyone will still disperse and move around freely.
After all, this Tao Discussion Conference is the largest grand gathering in the Shenhua Realm today, and the content inside is naturally extremely rich. Therefore, no matter what kind of person you are, you can always find something of interest in it. If everyone acts together, then if you want to watch the entire conference, I am afraid that the time it takes for the conference to be held will not be enough.
Ye Zan found Wu Changsheng and Mo Rushi, and after some discussion, they set a departure date.
As for when to set off, Wu Changsheng and the others originally calculated based on rail transit. After all, there were too many people traveling this time, and it would definitely not be possible to just rely on the two shuttles. However, Ye Zan gave it a try and directly proposed to postpone the departure date. As for why, you will know when the departure time comes. Although Ye Zan didn't say the reason, out of their trust in him, Wu Changsheng and others agreed to the departure date he set without much questioning.
Who said Ye Zan is senior
Changing from train to plane, Yu Qingzong's departure date was postponed for more than half a month.
However, due to the postponement of the departure date, when some sects who also wanted to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference approached and wanted to go with the Yuqing Sect's team, the Yuqing Sect had no choice but to refuse. Those sects thought that the Yuqing Sect was giving up participating in the Tao Discussion Conference. Moreover, they all knew that if the Yuqing Sect became so popular, the Taiyi Sect would definitely regard it as a threat, so it would make sense not to participate.
However, if you don’t participate in the Tao Discussion Conference, can you avoid being plotted by the Taiyi Sect? You must know that although all sects are not required to participate in this Tao Discussion Conference, no sect dares not to give face to the upper sects. If the Yuqing Sect really did not attend the Taoism Conference, it would be tantamount to handing one of his leverage into the hands of the Taiyi Sect.
Of course, although those sects had such speculations about Yuqing Sect, most of them still wanted to watch the excitement. In this peaceful era, the competition between various sects is still very fierce, but it is not as unscrupulous as it was during the turmoil. Therefore, at this time, many sects may be eager to see Yuqing Sect and Taiyi Sect break up and see Yuqing Sect fall to the bottom again under the attack of Taiyi Sect.
More than half a month is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator.
Finally, when there was no movement from the Yuqing Sect, almost everyone in the monastic community in the northwest believed the guess. On the apron of Yuquan Peak of Yuqing Sect, everyone who was going to attend the Tao Discussion Conference had already gathered here.
This apron was originally used to park shuttles, but now it has been expanded again in a few days.
Originally, this was just a small mountain peak with the tip cut off, but after the area was enlarged, it became like a huge mushroom with a flat umbrella. Then, from one side of the apron, there is a long suspended bridge that connects to the main peak of Yuquan Peak. If you put aside the other surrounding scenery and only look at the apron and the long viaduct, it would look a bit like the architecture of the world of science and technology.
Everyone gathered on one side of the apron, including Mo Ru, who was full of curiosity. They looked at the huge and empty apron, guessing what strange things Ye Zan was going to bring out. Although some of them may have had some imagination and guessed that Ye Zan would bring out a larger shuttle, they still couldn't believe it intellectually.
Ye Zan left his team, walked to the middle of the apron under the gaze of everyone, and flew into the air. Then, he took out the Immortal Palace Token and activated the token to open a huge channel in the sky. As the passage opened, a steel giant slowly poked its head out from the other side of the passage, and then gradually revealed its ferocious appearance in front of everyone.
Since the reality of this world is full of threats that people must be prepared for, Ye Zan chose an armed spacecraft as a template instead of the early passenger aircraft on Earth.
Although the flight capability of that kind of passenger aircraft can meet the needs of long-distance travel, it does not have enough protection to deal with possible threats. You know, in the early days of the technological world, passenger planes might crash and kill people if they hit birds. Not to mention anything else, just the turbulence caused by the evil energy in the high altitude, as well as the thunder that will leak out at any time, are not something that traditional passenger aircraft can contend with.
As for armed spaceships, it's not like those ordinary armors are any better than traditional airliners in facing the threats in this world. However, that kind of design would at least give Ye Zan more room to play and integrate some of this world's technologies into the spacecraft design.
The huge steel monster finally came out of the passage completely, showing its full appearance in front of everyone in the Yuqing Sect. When they saw this steel monster, everyone including Mo Ruwei couldn't help but gasped, and their eyes were full of shock.
"Could this, could this be the flying ship in ancient legends?" Someone looked at the sky dreamily, murmuring words that they didn't even believe.
"Flying empty building ship? It shouldn't be the case! But if you say it's not, then you really don't know how to call this thing." Some people were quite clear-headed and denied other people's nonsense, but the curiosity and surprise in their hearts were not the same. There are few others.
At this time, the armed passenger spaceship, under the control of the automatic control system, slowly landed on the apron, its huge body occupying almost half of the apron. Ye Zan closed the passage to the Immortal Palace and fell from mid-air, landing in front of Mo Rushi and others.
Seeing Ye Zan falling, Mo Ru immediately stepped forward and asked impatiently: "Junior brother, what on earth is this? Could it be that it is really the flying ship in ancient legends!"
"Haha," Ye Zan couldn't help but laugh, and then said to Mo Ru: "Brother, you are overthinking this. This is just a tool for traveling. It is not much different from the shuttle we used."
Of course, if we really talk about the specific configuration and the technology used, the difference between this armed passenger spacecraft and the shuttle is still very big. However, conceptually speaking, there is indeed not much difference between the two. They are both assembled with magical functional modules in accordance with the design of the technological world. Ye Zan has also read some records of Feikong Louchuan, but he is not arrogant enough to think that this thing can be compared with Feikong Louchuan.
In fact, in terms of adaptability to this world, even the main battleships of the federal army in the technological world cannot match the legendary flying ships. You must know that the flying sky ship can shuttle through the endless void and is an important war tool for the ancient fairy court to fight against the demons outside the world.
After some explanations, Ye Zan finally allowed Mo Rushi and others to have a general understanding of this armed passenger spaceship. However, after learning the truth, Mo Ru and others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but also felt a little bit disappointed.
If this armed passenger spaceship is really the legendary flying ship in ancient times, I am afraid that I will never agree to let everyone take this to participate in the Taoism Conference. As the saying goes, "Everyone is not guilty, but he is guilty of his crimes." Although the Yuqing Sect is developing well now, it has not yet reached the point where it can master the magical weapon of flying sky boat. If it really becomes the target of public criticism, the Yuqing Sect will probably be crushed to pieces by those major sects in an instant.
However, from a personal perspective, who doesn’t want to appreciate the elegance of ancient legendary objects
"Okay, stop standing around, go in and sit down and get ready to go." Ye Zan said loudly to everyone.
The armed spaceship has also opened the login channel. Although it is facing all monks, it still lowered the long gangway. Everyone came back to their senses, and under the leadership of Mo Rushi and Ye Zan, they lined up in a fairly neat line and walked down the gangway to the armed spacecraft.
Regarding the interior of the spacecraft, Ye Zan also changed some designs to make the style of the entire internal environment more in line with the aesthetics of this world. Therefore, after everyone came inside, apart from their original curiosity and surprise, they did not feel uncomfortable with the environment inside.
