Chapter 724 Discussing Tao(2/3)
He doesn't need anything, as long as he can break through the realm, blood, energy and spiritual power don't matter at all.
There is nothing special about his spiritual roots.
Situ Jian explained for Mo Hua: "The term sword theory has a long origin..."
"The Sword Discussion Conference was just about swords at the beginning. Sword cultivators competed with each other and judged each other based on their 'swords' to decide who was the best."
"Whoever comes first will be the leader of the Sword Discussion Conference, and will usually be considered by default to be the person with the best fighting ability among the disciples of the same generation."
"But other physical and spiritual cultivations are not accepted. If you are number one in swordsmanship, why can you be the number one disciple?"
"So later on, physical and spiritual training also participated."
"But physical and spiritual cultivation does not require swords. If you compete with a swordsman and win, you will become a person who does not practice swordsmanship. Winning the first place in the sword discussion conference cannot be justified."
"So it became a team battle. The sword cultivator led a physical cultivator and a spiritual cultivator mixed together. Three people formed a team and fought against each other."
"Later, we imitated the Taoist army system, with a small team of five people competing against each other."
"It's a tough fight from the beginning. Whoever wins will be better."
"Later, some of the ancestors of Qianzhou felt that this was too reckless and did not meet the actual combat situation, so they changed the rules and added many restrictions such as flag capture, monster hunting, and sword seizing. It has been passed down to this day and has become the current discussion. Sword Conference..."
"Five people from the same sect form a team and join forces with each other to achieve the goal. They not only discuss cultivation and Taoism, but also focus on collaborative strategies. If they win, the five will be the best. If they lose, they will all be eliminated. We share weal and woe."
Mo Hua nodded, probably understanding.
Cheng Mo patted Situ Jian on the shoulder and praised: "You know better."
Situ Jian was helpless, "You should also serve snacks occasionally, don't just swing an axe..."
Cheng Mo smiled and invited Mo Hua: "Senior brother, do you want to go and see it together? This is a triennial event in Qianxue State."
Situ Jian added: "And for us, we may only be able to participate once in our lifetime."
Mo Hua was a little confused, "I can only participate once?"
Situ Jian nodded slightly, "Generally, only disciples who have been initiated for more than nine years, who are in the late stage of foundation building, whose spiritual power, blood and energy have reached the peak of cultivation, and who have not broken through the golden elixir, can participate in the Sword Discussion Conference."
"If you are one year below and have studied for a few years less, your cultivation, blood, energy and spiritual power will be much worse than others, and you will not be able to compete with other sects' geniuses..."
"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.
Cheng Mo sighed: "I don't know if I can participate in the next session..."
"Don't think about it," Situ Jian shook his head and said, "At least until the next term."
Cheng Mo was a little dissatisfied.
Situ Jian then said: "The Dao Discussion Conference is of great importance. It is not only related to the disciples' personal spiritual future, but also to the development of the sect. The selection of disciples who participate in the Dao Discussion is very strict, and every quota is precious..."
Cheng Mo was a little unhappy, but he also knew that what Situ Jian said was right.
Mo Hua is a little curious.
It’s about the disciple’s personal future, so this is easy to understand.
If you get a good ranking in the monastic conference and become popular, you will gain the respect of the sect and be appreciated by other monastic forces, and you may even get a lot of merit.
But what does this have to do with the development of the sect...
It's just a discussion, is it that important?
Mo Hua asked Situ Jian, and Situ Jian asked:
"Senior Brother, do you know the Qianlong Mountain Range?"
"Qianlong Mountains?"
Mo Hua frowned and seemed to have some impression.
Situ Jiandao: "The Qianlong Mountain Range is a huge mountain range that traverses the border of Qianxue State. Within this mountain range, there is a huge spiritual mine with an astonishing output of spiritual stones."
The output of spiritual stones is astonishing, huge spiritual mines!
Mo Hua was slightly shocked.
Situ Jian lowered his voice and said, "I heard these from my grandfather..."
"It is said that the Taoist court tried every possible means to occupy this Qianlong spirit mine, and used all kinds of methods. However, in the end, the ancestors of dozens of big families in Qianzhou joined forces and forcibly suppressed it."
"Despite this, Daoting is still unwilling to give in."
"And when it comes to such a huge amount of spiritual stones, the family will not give in."
"In the end, both parties compromised. A small part of the output of these spiritual mines will be handed over to the Daoting as a 'spiritual tax', and the rest will be used by the major sects in the Qianxue Prefecture."
"With these spiritual stones, the sect will develop and grow, recruit more disciples, teach and teach, and cultivate talents. In this way, the spiritual stones in the Qianlong Spirit Mine can be used in the world."
"Dao Ting agreed, and the family has no explanation."
"Therefore, this huge Qianlong spirit mine fell on the heads of hundreds of sects in the Qianxue state."
"But how to divide such a large sum of spiritual stones has become a problem..."
Mo Hua understood and said: "Tao discussion conference?"
"Yes." Situ Jian nodded, "Disciples from all sects will participate in the Tao Discussion Conference to determine the ranking."
"This ranking affects the order of the sect, and the order of the sect determines the share of the huge spiritual mine in Qianlong Mountain."
"This is a giant spiritual mine. Any small share means a massive amount of spiritual stones."
"And the spirit stone is the foundation for the development of the sect."
"Therefore, the Tao Discussion Conference is not only related to the personal future of the disciples, but also closely related to the interests and future development of the sect..."
"So that's it..."
Mo Hua suddenly realized and nodded slightly.
"Senior Brother, it seems that the Tao Discussion Conference has already begun. Do you want to go and see it?" Situ Jian on the side also asked.
Mo Hua thought for a while and said, "That's fine."
He also wanted to know what the Dao Discussion Conference was really like.
As for the middle stage of foundation building, it’s pretty fast anyway, so there’s no rush for these two days.
So Mo Hua gave himself a half-day holiday and followed Cheng Mo and Situ Jian to watch the Taoism Conference.
The conference on Taoism was held at Londao Mountain in the center of Qianxue Prefecture.
From the outside, Lundao Mountain is majestic and majestic, with a huge formation built outside.
One look at the ink painting shows that this is a large formation.
And it is not a closed formation, but a slightly opened formation.
Above the formation, the faint light circulates with an astonishing momentum, like a hibernating giant beast, breathing softly.
"This formation is..."
Mo Hua looked at Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, and was about to ask something, but saw that their expressions were more shocked than his own, so he didn't ask.
Forget it, it’s better not to make things difficult for them regarding the formation.
The entry requirements for the Taoism Conference are not strict, as long as you are a disciple of the sect within the Qianxue Prefecture.
The three of them, Mo Hua, arrived at the entrance of the mountain gate, showed the Taixu Order, verified their identities as disciples of the sect, and were allowed to enter Lundao Mountain.
Entering Lundao Mountain means entering the great formation.
Cheng Mo and Situ Jian were a little confused and couldn't understand anything.
But in the perception of the ink painting, the vast, mysterious and boundless aura of the great formation is extremely strong.
He could even faintly feel the vibrations of those subtle and mysterious high-quality formations throughout the mountain, as well as the flow of massive spiritual power that was as deep as the ocean but calm on the surface...
Mo Hua's heart was trembling and his eyes were opened.
It is indeed a fifth-grade Qianxue state boundary, there are so many good things!
I don’t know when I will be able to set up a large formation of this level...
Ink painting brings longing to the heart.
Situ Jian took the ink painting and explained as he walked:
"Tao discussion conference, alchemy, weapon refining, talismans, and formations will be assessed in sequence."
"Sword discussions are a little different. Because the cycle is longer and there are more battles than fighting, there will be some differences in the time of each session, but generally it will be staggered with the Tao discussions such as the alchemy and talisman array..."
The three of them were walking and chatting.
As I approached the dojo, I saw a huge crowd of people. Not only the Taixu Sect, but also disciples from the other four major sects, the Eighth Gates, the Twelve Schools, and the Hundreds of Qianxue Sects were all coming to see it.
The area around the dojo was extremely lively, and there were all young disciples wearing various sect robes, including handsome young men standing in the wind under the trees, as well as graceful young women.
Cheng Mo was a little yearning, "You think, if six years later, I show off my power at the Sword Discussing Conference and kill everyone, will these Yingyingyanyans, senior sisters and junior fellow students, worship me in particular and insist on treating me?" Promise yourself or something..."
Situ Jian patted his shoulder and sighed:
"There are many people here. If you are daydreaming, it would be better to change places."
To be continued...
