Taoist Xuanyuan, who had gone to the outer world a long time ago, suddenly sent a clone to run back, or to be more precise, to sneak back. Even Taoist Qinghong who suppressed Tiandao Mountain did not notice it. Ye Zan originally thought that the clone of Xuanyuan Daozu came back to explain something very important, but he did not expect that the other party actually wanted to "preach the truth".
Ye Zan doesn't quite understand that although the Yuqing Sect's current development momentum is very strong, it is far from reaching the point where even the Shenhua Domain cannot tolerate it.
What's more, even if you can recruit more talented disciples, you still have to give them time to grow up before they can truly become a part of the stronger Jade Qing Sect. Just recruiting disciples without hesitation, but without the corresponding training mechanism to allow those disciples to truly become successful, which is called "biting off more than you can chew" as the saying goes, will only make the sect "indigestion".
The Shenhua Realm alone is enough to continuously provide a large number of disciples to various sects in the realm, and most of them even have no chance to join the sect. If people from the Shenhua Realm are really allowed to join the corresponding sect as long as they meet the standard qualifications, I am afraid that all sects will have "indigestion".
But now, the clone of Xuanyuan Daozu came back and asked Ye Zan to go to the outer world to "open a branch" and recruit people from the outer world to become Yuqing Sect disciples. What is this picture of? Could it be said that those in the outer world are better than those in the monastic world in terms of cultivation qualifications? Or is it that there are any special mineral resources in the outer world that require the Yuqing Sect to "preach" to occupy the territory
What makes Ye Zan even more confused is a fact that most ascetics know, that is, the laws of the outer world are different from those of the ascetic world. It's like the Sun King and others who came from the small world, although they can use their power in the monastic world, they have nowhere to replenish their power after it is consumed, and they can only go back to the small world to "recharge".
And the laws are different from the Great Dao, so can the method of cultivating Taoism based on the Great Dao still work in the outer world? You understand this way and that way here, but the outer world does not have those things you understand, so how can you practice by relying on the method of cultivation!
"Master, I don't quite understand what your old man means! Although the Yuqing Sect is developing well now, it has not yet reached the point where it needs to recruit disciples from outside the world, right? Moreover, you still want to open a 'branch branch' there. , instead of accepting disciples and bringing them back. With the laws of the outer world, can the method of cultivating the Tao really work? "Since Xuanyuan Daozu is in front of him, Ye Zan naturally doesn't have to guess anything by himself, so he just puts it all together. Questions were thrown out all at once.
After listening to Ye Zan's series of questions, the clone of Xuanyuan Daozu shook his head repeatedly and said: "You kid thinks too much. The 'preaching' I said is just preaching. As for, The questions you asked are all matters for the future, and they will naturally be resolved in the future.”
"Just preaching? What's that for?" Ye Zan asked in confusion.
"Oh, forget it!" Daozu Xuanyuan sighed, knowing that he couldn't waste more words. After all, Ye Zan was different from ordinary disciples, so he continued: "You shouldn't have forgotten that Xianting spent a lot of time to open the passage. , let’s go to the outer world to do what we want to do.”
"Oh, Master, didn't you say before that since the war between immortals and demons in this world, the world's origin has been damaged due to the collapse of heaven and earth, so the immortal court intends to snatch the origin of the world from the outer world to repair the origin of the world in this world? "Ye Zan responded quickly, telling everything he knew.
Daozu Xuanyuan nodded. Seeing that Ye Zan still looked puzzled, he said with some humor: "So, how do you think we are going to rob the origin of the world in the outer world? Is it like a robber breaking into a house and wrapping up the gold and silver? Just leave?”
"Isn't it?" Ye Zan asked in surprise.
When Ye Zan thought about it, if Daozu Xuanyuan and the others went to rob the origin of the world, even if they were not really like robbers breaking into houses to rob gold and silver, the form should not be much different. We must seize the origin of the world! Basically, that means destroying all the powerful people in that world, and then digging out the origin of that world from underground or some hidden space and bringing it back to this world.
Since the world origin of the monastic world is damaged, Immortal Court must use the world origin of the outer world to repair it. Then, of course, we need to bring back the origin of the world over there, and then integrate it into the origin of the world in this world. It's like saying, my house is broken and I need to tear down the bricks and tiles from your house to repair it, then I will tear down the bricks and tiles and bring them back to repair it.
"Alas, I was also negligent. With your current state, you really can't understand things at that level. The origin of the world is not physical objects such as gold and silver, or it is not some specific existence, so how can it be Find it and snatch it away." Daozu Xuanyuan seemed to have remembered at this moment that Ye Zan was only in the realm of Yuanshen, and the things he thought he should understand for granted may not be understood by Ye Zan.
"Then, how to snatch it?" Ye Zan quickly asked.
Of course, when Ye Zan asked this question, he also had a guess in his mind: The method of snatching the origin of the world is probably related to the word "preaching". However, he still needs to listen to Xuanyuan Daozu's explanation on how "Preacher" robbed the origin of the world.
"How to snatch the origin of the world is naturally the word 'preaching' that I told you." Daozu Xuanyuan's answer was exactly as Ye Zan guessed, and he went on to further explain: "As you know, the world outside the world The laws of this world are different. In the final analysis, this difference is the difference in the origin of the world. Therefore, if you want to seize the origin of the outer world and become the origin of this world, you need to change the original laws of the outer world. "
After hearing this, Ye Zan finally understood the true purpose of the word "preaching". It turns out that Xuanyuan Daozu asked him to "preach the Tao" not to develop the Yuqing Sect, at least this was not the main purpose. Rather, through preaching, the Tao of this world, or this kind of cultivation method that conforms to the Tao of this world, can be spread in the outer world to "pollute" the origin of the outer world.
In Ye Zan's view, this is probably like what was once called cultural invasion in the world of technology. For example, the ancient Hua Kingdom once had such a history. After the aliens took over the Central Plains, they asked them to "keep their hair but not their heads, and their heads but not their hair", and asked all the Central Plains people to shave themselves into some kind of "money rat tail". Also, during the period when the Japanese invaded the ancient Hua Kingdom, people in the northeast of the ancient Hua Kingdom were required to speak the Japanese language, and in Wanwan, Japanese education was carried out for all the people.
These are a kind of cultural invasion that comes with invasion, using one's own culture to destroy other people's culture, and it does have excellent results. Let’s talk about the “money rat tail”. I think about how many people fought against it back then and really chose to “keep their hair but not their hair”. However, hundreds of years later, Western culture invaded ancient China. While many advanced-minded people cut their braids and shaved their hair, many others were reluctant to part with that ugly rat tail.
The Japanese nation's national Japanese culture education in Wanwan also cultivated a large number of pro-Japanese people. Even many years after the defeat of the Japanese nation, many people in Wanwan still regarded themselves as Japanese. Those pseudo-Japanese people clamored for independence all day long, and even wanted to become part of the Japanese country. They truly worshiped and worshiped the Japanese country as their ancestors.
In addition to the cultural invasion that came with the war, there were many cultural invasions after the war, such as Korean Wave, Japanese Spirits, Cents, etc., which can all be said to be products of cultural invasion. In the eyes of these "people", others' are all advanced and civilized, while their own are ugly and backward. They only regret that they were not born in those paradise-like civilized worlds.
"So that's it. I thought I really snatched it and brought it back, but I didn't expect it could be done in this way!" Ye Zan said with sudden realization.
Moreover, from this matter, Ye Zan also wanted to understand another question.
This world, as well as the outer world, places great emphasis on personal strength. The gap between the strong and the weak is often not something that can be bridged by numbers. For example, even if there are tens of thousands of golden elixir masters gathered together, it is impossible to compete with the power of a supreme being. In Ye Zan's original imagination, the war between the demons outside the world and the Immortal Court should be a battle of high-end combat power between the two worlds. The kind of thing where the people below are used as cannon fodder will have no effect at all in a war of that level.
Therefore, Ye Zan has always found it a bit strange that the evil spirits from outside the world have invaded the monastic world. In addition to the powerful people who are at the true immortal level, why do they use war fortresses to bring so many low-level "ants" over? Just like the war fortress in Ye Zan's hands, when it came from the outer world, it contained many "wizards" who were not very powerful, but they were all wiped out in the underworld.
But now, Ye Zan understands the usefulness of those "ants". Although they cannot play any role in the frontal battlefield, they are also a vital part in the war of aggression. They enter the invaded world, spread the so-called "culture", pollute the origin of that world, gradually assimilate the origin of the world, become part of the invader's world, and finally complete the complete occupation.
This is just like the technological world, after entering the interstellar era, when colonizing planets suitable for human survival, the environment of the colonized planets must first be modified. They do not need to consider whether the modified environment is still suitable for the survival of indigenous creatures on the planet, as long as it is ultimately suitable for human survival. At most, out of the so-called humanitarian spirit, it is enough to establish some protected areas for those indigenous creatures to prevent them from being completely wiped out.
What Xuanyuan Taoist said about "preaching" actually means this, using the method of preaching to transform the outer world, and ultimately assimilate the origin of the outer world and become part of the monastic world.
"Now you understand! And this preaching thing has great benefits. After all, it involves the origin of the world. The better you do it, the more favored you will be from heaven. In other words, although you preach in the outer world, you will not get What are the benefits that are clearly in front of you? But Heavenly Dao, every contribution you make will be recorded in Heavenly Dao through the influence of the origin of the world. This is true for you and Yuqingzong. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." When Daozu Xuanyuan said this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"I understand..." Ye Zan nodded, indeed he understood.
In the world of monasticism, there has always been a strong emphasis on "luck". People have their own "luck", and sects have their own "luck". For example, the great masters of the sect would often talk about what kind of magic weapon should be used to suppress luck, or how a certain disciple's luck was, which could increase the luck of the sect.
Whether luck is useful or not is really unclear, especially in such an unscientific world. There are many coincidences. If you say it is luck, it is luck. There is nothing wrong if you say it is coincidence. Of course, there is something that Ye Zan can actually embody regarding luck, and that is the Monument of Merit.
For Ye Zan, luck and other things can be ignored, but merit is really a tangible benefit. He has gone through so many things in this world just to increase his merits. That merit has many uses. In addition to being used to kill some enemies, it was also used to protect Ye Linglong from natural disasters. It can also be used to enhance the success rate and effect of alchemy and weapon refining.
It can be said that from many aspects, the various benefits embodied by merit can actually be reflected in luck. Moreover, Ye Zan also believes that if he goes to the outer world to "preach" and really makes some contribution to snatching the origin of the world, he should also be able to gain a lot of merit.
"I secretly sent a clone here without alerting anyone, just to inform you in advance so that you can take advantage of this opportunity. Once you wait for the Immortal Court to issue missionary missions to various sects in various realms, you will know How important is this opportunity?" Xuanyuan Daozu said with some satisfaction.
Regarding snatching the world origin of the outer world, Xianting will definitely not just wait for Yuqing Sect to do it, but will definitely make it known as they did before summoning the powerful powers from all realms. By that time, good and evil spirits from various realms, including the demon clan, will all go to the outer world to preach. If the Yuqing Sect does not have this opportunity, they may not be able to take advantage at all.
This is also the reason why Daozu Xuanyuan secretly sent his clone back and asked Ye Zan to prepare to preach in the outer world now.
Moreover, Ye Zan also has an advantage here, which is the Thousand Miles Teleport and rail transportation. If he enters the outer world first, he can spread thousands of miles of teleportation and rail transportation in the outer world. The name of Yuqing Sect, through the convenience of these things, can enter the hearts of those indigenous creatures, which is far more advantageous than other sects.
"I understand. If that's the case, then I'll make some preparations and go to the outside world to gain experience." After thinking about this, Ye Zan nodded simply.
