Li Xiao was stunned, and Li Xiao's grandfather Tian Yu was like a wooden chicken.
The subordinate Li Zhong was speechless for a long time, wondering if there was something wrong with his brain, or if he was blind or deaf.
The soul servant Li Shuang was overjoyed and ecstatic. He locked himself in the room to party, and then seriously arranged for his family to move closer to the Ancient Alliance.
Everyone else felt the same way. They couldn't understand how Zhang Shen had achieved this when he had only been practicing for less than 500 years.
Even evil people find it difficult to do this.
Could it be that Zhang Shen obtained the entire inheritance of Wanshan Sect
But that wouldn't have created such a monster.
He must have other opportunities!
Although he was puzzled, Zhang Shen, who was at the demigod level, was not someone that anyone could covet.
Of course, if Zhang Shen continues to make rapid progress after becoming a demigod, even a true god would be unable to resist taking action against Zhang Shen.
Zhang Shen was not too distressed about this. He was only the second soul and had no help from the system. Even if he had all the cultivation memories and insights of his original body, as well as the help of many martial arts paradises, his future cultivation speed would inevitably become slow.
The training after becoming a demigod is so difficult.
There is no way. The second soul is not on the path of physical practice. Even if one can draw inferences from one instance to another and have a bird's-eye view, it will inevitably take a huge amount of time to continue on the path of martial arts.
"Of course, I'm still much faster than the others, but it's unlikely to attract their attention."
Zhang Shen knew this very well, which was why he did not hesitate to expose his cultivation level after breaking through to the demigod level.
As long as no one knows the situation on the main body's side, it doesn't matter if he reveals some of his side.
The Ancient Alliance has developed to this point. If it wants to go further, it really needs a demigod to take charge. Otherwise, it will just waste time.
It was impossible for Zhang Shen to watch his disciples, relatives and others die of old age because they were unable to break through due to insufficient cultivation resources.
Now is the perfect time to break through to the demigod level.
His disciples, relatives, and promising subordinates all still have plenty of lifespans left. After the Ancient Alliance expands and obtains sufficient resources, they will also have a brighter future.
You can also live until your true self reaches the highest level and no longer fears anything.
The Ancient Alliance had been celebrating for a whole month because of Zhang Shen's ascension to demigod status, and he had no intention of stopping them. It was a rare happy event, and there was nothing wrong with letting them have some fun.
However, the decision of the top leaders of the Ancient Alliance to expand massively was vetoed by Zhang Shen.
"It's not that I won't let you
We should expand our influence, but not in a hurry."
"First, train enough manpower within the Ancient Alliance, and then slowly expand to the surrounding areas with Beast Moon Bay as the center."
Zhang Shen reminded his subordinates who were getting carried away by their success that the Abyss Sea was not a good place. Once you left the gate of Beast Moon Bay, the warriors who roamed here would not care who was standing behind you or what your background was. They would attack you when necessary and swallow you whole, skin and bones.
Without sufficient strength to suppress it, even if it is a demigod force, if you dare to set up a branch, they will join forces to kill you all, take away all your resources and run away.
As a demigod, he cannot protect all the branches.
Even if we liquidate it afterwards, the branch is gone.
There have been examples like this in the Abyss Sea in the past. Although the demigod forces were furious and launched a bloody killing to suppress the rebellion, in fact, at least half of the murderers involved ran away.
How could they dare to attack the demigod forces without making arrangements for their retreat
As soon as they finished stealing, they immediately used teleportation arrays to escape to hundreds of millions or even billions of miles away.
It is better to train enough people first so that once the branch is established, we will have enough strength to deal with most of the malicious intentions.
You can't treat your subordinates as non-human beings.
Of course, this is just one of the reasons.
Many forces in the Abyss Sea, faced with the need to expand their manpower, often adopt an unconventional approach and absorb warriors of all races to develop their own forces into a multi-racial force.
Zhang Shen didn't want this to happen.
Let’s not talk about the future for now. Now he hopes that the Ancient Alliance will maintain its identity as a purely human force.
Zhang Shen poured a basin of cold water for his overly excited subordinates, and they calmed down.
Although they really want to expand quickly.
But the leader cares about them and doesn't want them to get into any accidents. There's nothing wrong with that. It's also a good thing for them and it makes them feel warm in their hearts.
Just train the talents. It will only take a few decades at most. During this period, they can practice and gain stronger strength.
With the leader around, they can practice with peace of mind during this period and don't have to worry too much about the resources for practice. The leader has achieved demigod status, and even if the Ancient Alliance does not expand, the benefits they gain will become more substantial.
Besides, the Ancient Alliance has territory not only in the Abyss Sea. The Endless Wilderness also brings in large numbers of talents to the Ancient Alliance every once in a while.
A few decades would be enough to produce the number they needed.
After the others left, Li Zhao
Stayed and asked about the sermon.
Zhang Shen's cultivation has always been the best in the Ancient Alliance. Every time he makes a breakthrough in cultivation, he will hold a sermon to impart his cultivation experience.
This has always been a grand event for the Ancient Alliance.
After Zhang Shen broke through to become a demigod, everyone in the Ancient Alliance had been looking forward to the Alliance Leader’s sermons, hoping to gain insights from them and improve their own cultivation.
"Let's postpone it for now. We don't know how the Taiyan Sect matter will develop. Don't be too relaxed and careless." Zhang Shen thought for a moment and said that it was not appropriate to hold the sermon for the time being. Who knows when the old man Yanjun will attack, and there will definitely be a big battle then.
He is only the second soul. Even though his foundation is extremely strong, he is only at the early stage of demigod cultivation. Yan Jun is most likely at the middle stage of demigod and has practiced for tens of thousands of years. He basically has no weaknesses. If a real fight breaks out, Zhang Shen has little chance of winning.
Of course, with the demigod-level body given by his original body, Zhang Shen is not without the ability to fight.
But forget about wanting to crush them.
There will inevitably be a fierce battle, and Zhang Shen even suspects that he may not have the energy left to protect the people of the Ancient Alliance.
Once the sermon is preached, the impact will be felt and the Ancient Alliance may suffer heavy losses.
Zhang Shen has not yet entered a state of seclusion, he is just ready at all times.
Once Lord Yan appears, drag him away from here immediately to prevent the aftermath of the conflict between the two sides from killing everyone in the Ancient Alliance.
"As the leader of the alliance, I am also worried about it."
"They are so lucky to have a leader like me who is responsible and cares for his subordinates."
Zhang Shen said slowly, satisfied with his performance.
After learning the reason, Li Zhao's brows became solemn. Indeed, the trouble at Taiyan Sect still had not been resolved.
It was just that everyone was so excited to learn that the leader had achieved a breakthrough to become a demigod that they ignored the danger.
After taking a long breath, Li Zhao planned to go and pour a few more buckets of cold water to put out the flames of their excitement.
Compared with Zhang Shen, Li Zhao, as a disciple, is usually more strict with his subordinates.
After all, he is the famous Iron Fist Judge of the Ancient Alliance.
However, Li Zhao was more strict in normal times and took ruthless measures against those who violated the discipline of the Ancient Alliance.
Zhang Shen is usually kind-hearted, but when he really starts to fight, he is much more ruthless than Li Zhao.
Cutting the weeds and eradicating their roots are just basic operations.
Zhang Shen waited outside the forbidden area for several months. On this day, his eyes suddenly became sharp and a powerful aura entered his perception range.
